Chapter 4: The Sudden Bad News and the Funeral
If he wants to continue living there, of course, no one would object. His mother would definitely agree, and that cheap father also seems to treat him well. Besides, isn't that originally his home?
Wait a moment! Suddenly, Li Ye's hand was grabbed by someone.
Is that so ... ... I understand ... ... " Li Ye replied coldly, after all, this is the correct way, and this place never belonged to him in the first place. However, he would not accept charity from this group of people. Although he had just entered university and was not yet 20 years old, he was already able to support himself.
It is one thing for you to say that Lilith has always been indifferent towards Li Ye, but despite her cold expressions and tone in recent days, how could Li Ye not notice the care she has shown him?
This is the first time the two of them are so close to each other. Even though they have been living together for the past few days, they have never been this close before. ... Unfortunately, at this moment, Li Ye has no thoughts of happiness at all; her entire being is in turmoil due to the news she just learned ...
However, at this moment, Lilith's gaze was incredibly resolute. She looked at the group of so-called uncles, aunts, and elder relatives as if she were looking at a group of strangers
If this were to continue... Li Ye contemplated this possibility
Li Ye was somewhat angry, but the next moment she fell silent
Do not look anymore, they are not here
Time always passes in the blink of an eye
Your mother came here all alone at first, and we will give you a sum of money, after which you should have no further dealings with us
Li Ye initially left home to suppress his feelings for Lilith, to gain control over himself, to distance himself from Lilith, and to enable himself to forget. Unfortunately, from the outcome, it seems that it had no effect at all
Just now, he learned some things from Lilith regarding his mother and that father
He cannot understand why it has suddenly become like this He had no mental preparation at all
It was initially agreed that during the few days of their absence, Li Ye would return to stay. However, it was not mentioned how Li Ye would proceed once they returned. At this moment, Li Ye was also troubled by this matter.
Half an hour later, Li Ye was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her eyes wide open and her hands holding her head, remaining silent for a long time. Her expression was somewhat numb, as if she had been subjected to some kind of shock.
"They had an accident..." This phrase escaped from Lilith's lips in a disjointed manner.
I know you are very sad right now, but... I hope you can accept this fact... At this moment, Lilith is sitting beside Li Ye.
Is it the last day... This day, Li Ye felt somewhat gloomy, not for any other reason, but because today his mother and that cheap father were coming back.
Everything that happened was somewhat strange
"Ah? What?" Li Ye stood dazed at the door, unable to react. By the way, haven't my parents returned home by now? Why is the house so quiet and empty, where are they?
"I can't believe this... how is this possible..." Li Ye murmured to himself, struggling to accept this reality
Fortunately, the room has good sound insulation; otherwise, Li Ye would not know how to face her sister Lilith
In this way, Lilith will inherit everything here. And I will act as the guardian. As for... that middle-aged man, who is said to be the brother of Li Ye's stepfather, looked at Li Ye.
Sister... Sister? As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lilith standing at the entrance with golden hair, a voluptuous figure, and dressed in home attire. Moreover, her expression seemed somewhat off.
A few days later, a funeral attended by only a handful of people was held at home. The attendees were just a few individuals whom Li Ye had never met, reportedly relatives and colleagues of Li Ye's estranged father
He is with me! Lilith's expression remains as indifferent as ever, as if nothing could provoke any emotional fluctuation in her. Even when she learned of her father's death, Li Ye did not see Lilith show even a hint of sadness.
On this day, Li Ye returned home early, partly to welcome his parents back and partly to prepare to pack his luggage for departure. However, it seems that things have developed in a way that was somewhat unexpected.
The total number of attendees at the funeral was limited, and after a simple ceremony, what lay before them was how the two siblings, Li Ye and Li Li Si, should resolve their situation
It seems that I should continue living outside... These few days can just be regarded as... as if it were a dream...
Sister... you..." Li Ye stared blankly at Lilith, feeling the warmth and softness transmitted through her grip on his hand
However, Li Ye is afraid that if time goes on and he truly cannot control his feelings for his sister Lilith, it will evolve into an uncontrollable situation
Li Ye did not want to see the expressions of this group of people, nor did he dare to look at Lilith, the sister he had secretly admired. He just wanted to leave this place immediately with his luggage, which he had prepared a few days ago. At the same time, he would take away all of his mother's belongings, regardless of whether this group of people was willing or not, as those were his!
Just a few days ago, Li Ye learned that her mother and that stepfather were missing after their plane crashed on the way back... The response she received was that the two had perished in the accident... even their remains were nowhere to be found...
Therefore, it is quite normal for Li Ye, this burden, to be kicked out now that both fathers have passed away, considering that Li Ye's mother married into this place with Li Ye as a burden
He is aware of his mother's situation; he has never seen her work throughout his life, yet she has never lacked for living expenses. However, they have never been particularly wealthy. ... Moreover, Li Ye has been taken around since childhood, never residing in any city for more than six months, until his mother remarried ...
However, when that group of people changed their expressions and seemed about to say something, they suddenly shivered in unison, and then said nothing more, only hurriedly leaving behind the words, 'If you encounter difficulties, seek them out,' before departing
"You are my most important younger brother..." This was the first time Li Ye saw Lilith's true smile... At this moment on this day...
How pitiful... only two children are left...
Sister ... ... you ... ...
The whispers of those unfamiliar people reached Li Ye's ears, yet at that moment, he showed no other reaction whatsoever. ... Looking at the two portraits in front of him, one of which depicted a person so beautiful and kind, that person who had been by his side since his birth truly had ... ? ... left him?
It is Lilith! Li Ye looked at this blonde beauty, whom he had never regarded as an older sister, with a mix of confusion and anticipation. He did not understand why she was holding onto him at this moment
During the past few days of being alone with Lilith at home, Li Ye found that he liked this sister even more, to the extent that one night he even called out in his dream
Indeed, they are all still students... How will they live in the future...
