“Why? Why do you want to leave me?!”
“Elder Sister, I’m not trying to leave you. I just want to go out and work on my own.”
“I don’t want to stay here with you all the time and keep bothering you.”
Ye Jin spoke to himself, but after waiting for a long time without a response from his sister, he couldn’t help but look up at her!
Ye Moran’s eyes were red, and her breathing was becoming increasingly rapid. She felt an urgent need to do something.
Ye Jin absolutely could not leave. Absolutely not!
She had worked so hard for so long and planned so much. Now that he was finally in her hands, she would never let him go!
She suddenly hugged the little guy tightly. Ignoring his struggles, she held Ye Jin tighter and tighter!
“Elder Sister, you’re hurting me. Can you let go of me?”
Ye Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. His chest was being squeezed, making it difficult to breathe. He tried to endure it, but after only a moment, he gave up!
It wasn’t just the suffocating pressure in his chest; there was also the pain from his limbs being tightly restrained. He felt as if his arms were about to break if this continued!
Finally unable to bear it, Ye Jin used his hands to push against her, trying to escape!
But sensing the little guy’s movements, Ye Moran only held him even tighter!
“Why must you escape? Why?”
“I only want you to stay by my side forever. Is even that not allowed?”
“I don’t want to… I don’t want to hurt you…”
Ye Moran talked to herself as if two voices were arguing in her heart. One said that if he wanted to run away, she should punish him so he would never dare to try again!
The other voice said she shouldn’t be so impulsive. If she hurt the little guy, he would definitely hate her!
She didn’t want the little guy to hate her, but she could bear the thought of him leaving even less!
For the past three days, she had been as gentle as possible with him. She cooked for him, applied medicine for him, and comforted him whenever he was afraid!
She gave him everything he wanted, so why couldn’t he give her what she wanted?
She only wanted him to stay—to stay by her side. Was that too much to ask?
The more Ye Moran thought about it, the angrier she became, her thoughts trapped in a dead end.
The two sides of her mind fought, and eventually, only one remained!
She was going to give the little guy a punishment—a punishment he would never be able to forget!
She looked down at him, a cruel and terrifying smile slowly spreading across her face!
“Little guy, since you are so selfish and won’t give me what I want, then I’ll just have to take it myself!”
Ye Jin didn’t understand what Ye Moran was talking about at all, but he could sense that something terrible was about to happen!
An inexplicable dread washed over him. He wanted to flee and began to struggle violently!
“Elder Sister, let me go! You’re really hurting me!”
“Does it hurt? It will probably hurt even more in a moment. You… will have to bear it!”
Ye Moran’s face was devoid of expression, replaced by a mask of cold indifference!
She glanced around the living room before her eyes settled on the table where she had just placed the dinner she’d prepared!
Holding Ye Jin, she walked over and swept all the food off the table with one arm!
“Bang!”
The plates crashed to the floor, shattering into countless pieces as the warm food scattered everywhere!
Ye Jin’s body trembled. He was so terrified that he didn’t dare move at all!
Was it his fault? But what exactly had he done wrong?!
He couldn’t understand, but he was even more worried about what his sister was going to do to him.
Ye Moran laid him flat on the table, pinning him down with one hand to stop him from thrashing while her other hand reached for her own clothes!
“Elder Sister, what are you doing?!”
Ye Jin’s eyes widened in horror. What was she doing? Was she undressing? Why would she undress?
He didn’t dare think about it anymore; he only wanted to get away!
Ye Moran frowned. Ye Jin was struggling so hard that she could barely hold him down with one hand!
After a moment of thought, she decided not to take off her own clothes first. She would start with the little guy’s instead!
He was only wearing a thin shirt and loose trousers. With a forceful tug and a loud rip, the thin shirt was torn away, exposing a large area of his snow-white skin!
“Sob… don’t do this, I beg you, don’t do this!”
“Please, don’t do this!”
Ye Jin shielded his body with his hands. He shook his head desperately, pleading with Ye Moran and trying to wake her up to her senses!
How could this happen?
They were siblings!
“Don’t do this! I’ll hate you! I’ll really hate you!”
“Then hate me if you want!”
Ye Moran’s breathing was heavy. If she had any shred of reason left before, it vanished the moment she saw his body exposed through the torn fabric. She could no longer control herself!
If he wanted to hate her, then let him. Regardless of what she did, he wouldn’t give her what she wanted anyway. In that case, why shouldn’t she just take it herself?!
At worst, she would just chain him up later!
If she tied him up, it would be fine. If he was tied up, he couldn’t run away!
***
Ye Jin lay on the table, his limbs sprawled in a strange and awkward posture.
He couldn’t muster any strength at all. Even a slight movement sent waves of unbearable pain through his body!
His exposed skin was covered in ambiguous marks, and the skin around his collarbone had even been broken.
Ye Moran lay beside him, her body tightly entwined with his.
“Little guy, don’t be like this. Say something. You’re making me scared when you act like this…”
Ye Moran’s voice was almost a whimper. Her lips brushed against Ye Jin’s ear while her fingers roamed restlessly over him!
Ye Jin bit his lip hard, refusing to let out a single sound!
Even though his lip had long been bitten through and blood welled up with every squeeze, he refused to speak!
Besides, what was there to say?
After being treated like this—fainting several times while she refused to stop—what words could possibly be said after such an atrocity?
“I’m sorry, Little Leaf. Next time, I’ll definitely wait for your consent, okay?!”
“Are you not talking because you’re still thinking about running away?”
“Why do you want to leave me? I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!”
“I won’t let you leave. I won’t. I’m going to…”
“Can you… let me be alone for a bit?”
Ye Jin’s voice was hoarse. He really didn’t want to talk, but Ye Moran kept whispering in his ear, and he was simply too exhausted!
Ye Moran fell silent for a moment before suddenly sitting up. She looked at the little guy with a complicated expression.
“I’m sorry…”
She had said those words countless times today. Even while she was doing that to him, she must have said it over a hundred times!
But no matter how much she said it, it didn’t feel like enough because she knew she had hurt him.
She hadn’t wanted it to be like this, but he had wanted to leave her!
Even if it was just a passing thought, even if there was only a tiny chance of it happening, she couldn’t accept it!
“I’ll carry you back to the room.”
“Be good. Don’t… run away!”
