Chapter 246 I'm Not Your Sister
Chapter 246 I'm Not Your Sister
Xin Moling tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine. He was staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky when suddenly a creaking sound came from under the eaves. He turned his head and saw a head pop out.
"Yan'er!"
Startled, he stood up and hurriedly went over to grab Xin Moyan's wrist, helping her to step onto the roof.
"Yan'er, why did you come up here? This ladder is so high, what if you fall?"
"Hehe~" She chuckled mischievously, her footsteps making a crisp sound as she stepped on the roof tiles. "I wanted to find my brother, and Brother Qingque is down there to catch me, so it's okay... Huh? Where's Sister Yi'er?"
"Yi'er has fallen asleep." He carefully led his sister, and the two of them walked to the ridge of the roof and sat down.
Xin Moyan glanced around; there were two wine jars and the Biyue Sword beside her. "Brother, why did you suddenly come up to the roof? Are you unhappy?"
He chuckled softly, raised his hand to stroke his sister's head, and then his handsome face suddenly darkened.
"Yan'er, where is Xuan Yuan?"
"Huh? He's gone!"
Xin Moling stared at her lips, her knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked. "I knew that guy had ill intentions. He was so rude and disrespectful to you. If he were here, I would have taught him a lesson!"
Xin Moyan belatedly realized what was happening and couldn't help but swallow hard. She pleaded in a gentle voice, "Brother, um... could you please not be so prejudiced against Xuan Yuan? You know he's very good to me, and we... we just kissed."
"Isn't one time enough? You silly girl, now that you have him, you always speak up for him and don't stand on your brother's side anymore." Xin Moling pretended to be angry and turned his head away from her.
She quickly grabbed her brother's arm and explained in a flattering tone, "Oh! I didn't! Brother, you're the person I care about most, you can't misunderstand Yan'er!"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xin Moyan nuzzled her head against his shoulder again, "Brother, don't make Yan'er angry, otherwise... otherwise I won't get married, and I'll live with you and your sister-in-law from now on."
Xin Moling sighed helplessly, "I think you're more like trying to coax your brother. With your feelings for him, you say you won't get married? Even if I agree, that guy will definitely not let it go."
"Hehe~ Then brother, don't be angry!"
"Brother is not angry. I just didn't expect that Yan'er would like Xuan Yuan so much."
"He...he likes me more than I like him."
"Hmph! He deserves to be like this. If he didn't care about Yan'er, I would be the first to not let him off the hook."
Xin Moyan blinked and quickly changed the subject, "Brother, you still haven't said why you suddenly came to sit here!"
He looked up at the full moon, his eyes gradually becoming deep and complex. After a long while, he slowly said, "I suddenly thought of my father and mother, so I sat here for a while."
Xin Moyan was stunned for a moment, "Father, Mother?"
"Ah."
Xin Moling turned to her and said excitedly, "Yan'er, you were so young back then, you probably don't even remember what your father and mother look like. Do you know? Your brother and Yan'er look just like them. I look like your father, and Yan'er looks like your mother..."
As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. "My mother was my father's most beloved person. At that time, Yan'er was not yet born. My mother often took me to practice martial arts in the yard. She hoped that I would be as brave and resolute as my father."
"Practicing martial arts? Brother, does Mother know martial arts?"
"Yes, as far as I remember, my mother knew some martial arts, and this Biyue Sword was also a gift from her."
Xin Moyan was a little flustered. "I thought... Mother was very gentle, but I didn't expect her to know martial arts!"
Seeing her puzzled little expression, Xin Moling suddenly smiled, "Hehe~ Yan'er, although your mother knows martial arts, she is actually very gentle! Even... even more gentle and considerate than Yi'er."
"Really? Then Mother must be very beautiful and love Brother very much!" Although he had never met the original owner's mother, judging from his brother's description, that mother must be incredibly gentle and beautiful!
"Yes, Mother loved us very much, it's just a pity... she couldn't see us grow up. Now that Yan'er is getting married soon, I think if Father and Mother are watching from heaven, they would be very gratified!"
Xin Moyan pursed her lips, feeling a sudden pang of sadness in her heart. Her brother cherished her so much, but she wasn't his biological sister. If her parents were in heaven, would they blame her for impersonating their daughter?
"Brother, I..." She opened her mouth slightly, staring at Xin Moling, hesitant to speak.
"Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Meeting that caring gaze, Xin Moyan felt even more apologetic towards the original owner of the body. Not only had she taken her place, but she had also monopolized her brother's position, and now she was going to use her body to marry Xuan Yuan...
He gently rubbed Xin Moyan's head, his tone particularly soft, "Yan'er, tell your brother what's on your mind, it's okay."
"Brother... I'm sorry."
"Huh? What?"
She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to confess earnestly to Xin Moling, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm not your sister."
Xin Moling's expression froze, as if she hadn't quite grasped the situation. "Yan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
“Brother, I know this is hard to explain, but I’m really not your sister. I came here from another world and came into Xin Moyan’s body. Just a few months ago, when I fell into the water at Hanyuan Palace, you could perhaps take it as a case of possession. I’m sorry, I don’t know where the real Xin Moyan went.”
With her head down, she poured out the secret all at once. Even if her brother was angry or disowned her, she felt much better. At least she wouldn't always feel like she was deceiving her brother and herself.
After listening, Xin Moling did not show any shock or disbelief, but his hoarse voice betrayed his emotions.
"Yan'er, stop now, don't talk nonsense anymore."
“I’m not lying, brother, I’m really not your sister.”
She shook her head anxiously, afraid that Xin Moling wouldn't believe her. "Brother, although I am also called Xin Moyan, I came here from another world. My current body is your sister's body, but my soul is not. Brother, I am not your sister. Please believe me, okay?"
Even if he disowns her as his sister, she will accept it. During this time, she has taken up too much of the original owner's affection, to the point that she almost believed she was originally her brother's sister, originally a person of this world. And everyone seems to have forgotten the original Xin Moyan...
His brows were furrowed tightly, and Xin Moyan's resigned expression only added to his frustration.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice slightly weary, "I've always known that you're not Yan'er."
