My name is Ye Ran, and my brother is Ye An.
Since I was very young, I knew that I was abandoned by my parents.
Well … the person who told me was my aunt.
Some people say that my aunt is cold-blooded for telling me such a cruel thing, but I don't think so. My aunt is the kind of person who speaks her mind. She won't lie to you just because she sympathizes with you.
My brother said that I should call her sister, but I always call her aunt. I don't understand why my brother wants me to call her sister.
I didn't change it, and they didn't let me change it.
My aunt has a bad temper. When I was young, she threw me away and left me alone in the wilderness. It was Brother Zhu Feng who found me later.
But I still like my aunt very much.
I don't know why, but I feel that her breath is very comfortable and I want to be close to her.
But every time I get close to my aunt, Jing Zhi will come out and snatch her away from me.
Jing Zhi is my aunt's brother, well … he is also her boyfriend.
But I don't like him. Without him, my aunt will only love me.
Wherever he is, my aunt will dislike me. She will give him all the good things and spoil him to the heavens.
At that time, I didn't understand why other people are the ones who spoil the girls, but when it comes to my aunt, she is the one who spoils Jing Zhi.
Well, Jing Zhi also spoils my aunt. But compared to my aunt's overbearing behavior, Jing Zhi is more like a silent drizzle.
He always knows when my aunt will lose her temper and appeases her in advance. He knows what she wants to do with her every move and look.
It wasn't until I grew up that I understood that this kind of relationship is called telepathy.
But at that time, I didn't understand. I always caused trouble for my aunt and Jing Zhi. I followed them wherever they went.
Those days lasted for a long time.
There are two things that I remember deeply. The first was when I was fourteen.
A fourteen-year-old girl is always rebellious.
I told my aunt that I might like my brother because my brother is very good to me, so I am very dependent on him. After hearing the story between my aunt and Jing Zhi, I don't know what I was thinking at that time, but I felt that I liked my brother.
My aunt didn't have any reaction after hearing it, but my brother did.
He accidentally heard my conversation with my aunt. Later, I suspected that my aunt knew my brother was there, but she didn't stop me.
Ever since my brother heard what I said, he quickly found a girlfriend.
She was a very beautiful girl. She spoke gently. I had seen her a few times before, but I didn't pay much attention to her. Now that I saw her with my brother, I was very sad.
Then my aunt caught me playing a trick on the girl.
She carried me up the mountain like a little chick. When the cold wind blew, I became much more awake.
"Auntie." I stood behind her and called her pitifully.
"Do you know what liking is?" she asked me.
"If I like you, then I like you!" I remember that was my answer at the time.
Then, I saw her smile. It was a faint smile, but it was unforgettable. It was deeply engraved in my mind.
I heard her mutter softly, "Yeah, like is like."
"Aunt?"
She lowered her head to look at me, and I could see my reflection in her calm eyes.
She said, "If you dare to sleep with your brother tonight, then you like your brother. But if you don't dare, then don't treat kinship as love."
I think my expression at that time was something like this — — (⊙ o ⊙)
What is Auntie talking about?
She actually instigated me to sleep with my brother??
My brother would beat me to death if he knew.
But at night, I still sneaked over. When I reached the door, I didn't dare to do it. I kept rehearsing in my head. I couldn't accept my brother and me …
Look, she always solved problems so simply and crudely. She didn't know what being tactful was, but I still liked her.
Then, I went to apologize to my brother. I said that I was just joking with Auntie. I liked him, but not that kind of like.
My brother heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that.
But he was still with that girl. They had known each other for a while. My sudden words gave my brother the opportunity to confess.
The second thing happened when I was seventeen years old.
During that time, Auntie actually spent a lot of time with me. But most of the time, she was urging me to cultivate.
She said that if I didn't work hard, I would be the one to die.
I was different from others.
I could cultivate.
Brother Xia Shu said that in this world, those who could cultivate were the lucky ones blessed by the heavens.
Auntie exposed Brother Xia Shu on the spot. She said that Brother Xia Shu was talking nonsense. She was the one who fed me the Xuanling Fruit so that I could cultivate.
I didn't know what the Xuanling Fruit was, but every once in a while, Auntie would give me a kind of fruit. That kind of fruit didn't look good. It was also very sour and didn't taste good. The good thing was that every time I ate it, I would feel the spiritual power in my body become more abundant.
I actually didn't want to cultivate. But in order to make Auntie happy, and to monopolize Auntie with Jing Zhi, I still cultivated very seriously.
I always knew that Auntie was very capable. But on the day of my tribulation, I realized that Auntie's ability was much greater than I imagined.
That was probably the day I remembered most clearly in my life.
There were still three days before my eighteenth birthday. But that evening, when I was meditating, the spiritual power in my body suddenly went out of control.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard the rumbling of thunder. The thunder seemed to be right next to my ears. It was very clear.
I didn't feel like I was sitting in a safe house. Instead, I felt like I was sitting under countless flashes of lightning.
Later, I heard people say that the scene at that time was indeed like that. The place I was in was filled with dense lightning, flashing like snakes in the sky.
When the lightning struck, I heard Auntie's voice. It was as simple and indifferent as ever.
"If you can't endure it, you'll die."
It wasn't the first time she said this to me. Before, I couldn't understand the power of this sentence. But now, I understood.
If I couldn't endure it, I would really die.
But I didn't want to die.
I wanted to live.
I didn't even know what kind of willpower I relied on in the end to succeed in forming my Gold Core.
But Auntie told me that forming my Gold Core had just begun. What I would experience later would be thousands of times more dangerous than now. If I wasn't prepared, it would stop here and there would be no need to go forward.
"Auntie, do you cultivate?" I asked her. I had never seen Auntie cultivate, but I felt that she was very powerful.
Auntie held Jing Zhi's hand. The smile on her face was very faint, and ripples gradually appeared in her eyes. "The lifespan of a cultivator is very long. I don't want to live that long. I just want to live until his life ends."
Somehow, this sentence seemed to be branded in the depths of my mind.
Many years later, I've heard countless words of love and had intimate lovers, but I still feel that Auntie's words were the most affectionate.
I just want to live until his life ends.
