"Well, that's just how it is!" I explained to her impatiently, because I've always been fantasizing!

Will there be a day when we meet in a world that belongs only to us, a world not controlled by fate, where it's just me and my sister, leaning on each other until the end of life.

The sunlight outside the window gradually turned into a fiery red glow. For some reason, the splitting headache came back again. Before I could even utter a word, everything returned to "normal"?!

"Yu Xiangjie? Yu Xiangjie!!"

No matter how I called out to her, the Yu Xiangjie in front of me remained still, like a wooden doll, staring at me with a poignant look.

"Yu Xiangjie, what...?"

"It's all because of you! Why don't you, a useless person who only knows how to talk, just go and die!" After speaking, Yu Xiangjie pulled out a fruit knife with a stern face and stabbed it towards me.

With reflexive conditions of my body, I grabbed the handle of the fruit knife. Under the powerful impact, I even held onto the knife, but naturally, a trickle of red liquid seeped from my palm.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I..."

Having regained my sanity, the Yu Xiang in front of me was still in a panic, but the bloodstains on the fruit knife on the floor were so vivid and striking.

"Sister... I!" Plop!

I couldn't feel my balance, and my calves started to numb.

"Sister, where are you?" Trapped in darkness, I desperately searched for Yu Xiangjie's figure, "Sister~!"

"Juxi little brother..."

From the extended darkness came the call of Yu Xiangjie, "Juxi, hurry up... you're too slow!"

The voice was faint, and I could only rely on the direction of the sound to chase after her footsteps.

Desperately chasing after that glimmer, I suddenly found myself enveloped in the scene in front of me. The subway flew past on the tracks behind me, trapping me outside a not-too-big, not-too-small park.

Golden leaves were actually floating in the park. Is it autumn already?

"No, Juxi, it's not..."

"Um... Huh?"

The voice of a young girl called out to me, and when I turned to look at her, I realized - my body had become smaller?!

"Juxi, why are you staring? Did Mom and Dad fight again?"

"Mom and Dad... What are you talking about?" I don't remember having any family. Why is this little girl spouting nonsense in front of me?

The small girl, though struck, still treated me gently as before. It's just that there was now a tinge of confusion on her chubby, adorable face. She embraced my shoulder and let me lean against her chest for comfort.

This kind of maternal tenderness made me lose resistance and fall into a trap I couldn't escape from.

"Juxi, doesn't Dad often hit you and your mom? You came to me with injuries all over your body the last time... don't you remember?"

The girl's shoulder-length hair emitted an incomparable brilliance under the twilight sun. In the strands of light, I could faintly see her azure pupils.

The first name that flashed through my mind was Yu Xiangjie...

"Juxi, you have to obediently listen to your Mom and Dad. Whenever you encounter difficulties, just come here to find your older sister, okay?"

The little girl... no, the older sister's small and gentle hand lightly touched my cheek, giving me a tickling and comfortable feeling, to the point where I couldn't help but think, what if this could continue until the end of the world?

"But no, Juxi little brother still has a mission that hasn't been completed. You should go and finish it yourself, right?"

"Not completed?"

"Hehe, you're really slow..."

Yu Xiangjie suddenly smiled brightly at the smile on my face, her whole body beginning to turn into soft light and sticking out her tongue at me, saying, "That love... will... be realized!"

"Wait, Yu Xiangjie... Don't leave me!!"

I tried to chase after and hold onto Yu Xiangjie, but it was all in vain.Does it have meaning? When I regained my senses, Sister Youxiang's figure had already disappeared, but her smile remained with me, along with the lingering fragrance on her cheeks, which was warmly preserved here.

I gently placed my hand on my heart to feel the slight heartbeat she had just given me.

I, who used to fear death so much, am no longer the ignorant youth I was back then. Now, I am actually looking forward to the scenery I am about to see and the outcome of the position I am about to step into.

"Xiaoxi... Xiaoxi, are you really Xiaoxi?"

In a small, pitch-black room, someone kept calling my nickname over and over again. "Sister Youxiang...?"

When I tried to move my hands to support myself and get up from the bed, I found that my hand was firmly fixed to the edge of the bed by something.

"Huh?"

After gradually getting used to the dim room, Sister Youxiang grabbed my right wrist tightly with both hands, like crab pincers, and her drooling sleeping posture was fully displayed in front of me.

"Did you forget to take off your school uniform?"

"..." (No response)

"Youxiang, you might catch a cold, you know!"

"..." (Same as above)
