Ling Qingyuan couldn't stay long during the afternoon exam, as his mother's current attitude made him wary.
However, Ling Sinan wasn't that sentimental. With her younger brother there to cheer her on, she felt that she had enough motivation.
"Will you come tomorrow?" she asked the person on the other end of the phone as she leaned against the terrace, gazing at the city's night view.
[Yes, but I might not be able to show up in the morning. I'll wait for you outside after your exam.]
The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and melodious; although the tone remained unchanged, one could still detect a hint of restrained gentleness.
He also stood on the terrace, overlooking the same city night view.
Behind him, in the living room, his parents were arguing about something, but he didn't care what the reason was.
After whispering a few more words, he finally hung up the phone as the noise behind him gradually subsided.
He turned to the side, his elbow still resting on the railing, his peripheral vision sweeping indifferently over the cold, impersonal world inside, just like his suddenly chilled state of mind.
I long for warmth.
My fingertips feel cold.
elder sister.
On the afternoon of the second and final day of the college entrance examination, before entering the examination hall, Ling Sinan saw a Mercedes-Benz S500 on the roadside.
The reason she could name the car was because Qiu Shanhua's car in the Ling family was an S500.
The same car model, the same color, even the first three digits of the license plate were exactly the same, but because of the crowd rushing in, she didn't notice the number after the license plate.
This kind of car isn't something you can just see on the roadside anytime, let alone by such a coincidence.
Has she come? Where is she? Why did she come? What did she give birth to?
Various thoughts swirled in Ling Sinan's mind, and by the time she realized it, the exam had already begun.
She was so confused that she missed the first two questions in the listening section.
Even if I don't want to be distracted, the outline of that car will inevitably come to mind.
Wait a minute, Qingyuan said she'd wait for her at the entrance after the exam.
What if... what if she finds out? Is she here to wait for her, or to arrest Qingyuan?
Thinking about all this at once, the words I had memorized perfectly before—
I've completely forgotten.
The silver-gray car body was like a shadow crawling in the darkness, unconsciously climbing up her back until the chill gripped her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.
It felt like I was sinking into the water. I opened my eyes and watched as the light on the water's surface grew dimmer and dimmer, and the distance between us widened uncontrollably.
Feeling of suffocation.
A sense of powerlessness.
When the bell rang, Ling Sinan stared blankly at the English test paper for a while.
She didn't get checked, and nothing could be found.
Following the same mechanical movements as everyone else, she handed the paper forward, watching it disappear from her sight as this page, which carried a part of her life, was passed on.
Right now, there's only one person on her mind.
Ling Qingyuan.
The first thing she saw after getting her phone back was a message on WeChat.
[Something came up, so I probably won't be able to arrive on time.]
Holding her phone and pulling on her backpack strap, she ran all the way. Her classmates looked at her with puzzled expressions, and some even greeted her. But she didn't have time to waste. She quickly rushed to the school gate and glanced at the roadside where the S500 had been parked earlier.
there is none left.
There's nothing left there.
Ha...ha...she tilted her head back, panting.
Why did I struggle with an exam?
If you clearly don't care, then what's the point?
My phone vibrated.
She stood at the bustling school gate, looking down.
[How did the exam go?]
[I'm sorry, I can't make it today. I'll let you know later.]
The crowd brushed past her as she stared at her phone, her finger hovering over the screen for a long time, unsure how to respond.
When she finished the exam in a daze, she already felt that she had messed up.
It was Qingyuan who tutored him in English the most diligently.
I promised him I would go to F University—I made that promise over and over again, shamelessly.
Ling Sinan suddenly felt her legs go weak and squatted down in an instant.
A multitude of chaotic thoughts and ideas began to churn uncontrollably in her mind, and she gritted her teeth to calm herself down.
"Ling Sinan—"
Slowly lifting her eyes from her crossed arms, her focus momentarily blurred due to the pressure on her retina. Gradually, she finally saw a tall, capable woman standing across the street, and behind her—
It's a Mercedes S500.
The vehicle drove smoothly on the road, and the woman in the passenger seat, as always, had a dignified and elegant profile.
A high, straight nose and upturned eyes.
You can see some of the genes that Ling Qingyuan inherited.
So what about her...? What aspects of her are similar to her? Or, how many things about her are unlike her that make her want to avoid her so much?
The dialed number on the phone screen still didn't get a response.
[Next time, tell me where they want to take you.]
You should at least answer the phone first, you jerk!
Five minutes earlier, Qiu Shanhua had let her get into the car outside the examination hall.
She had considered what her brother had said, but what could she do? Could she possibly sprint away from his sight like a 100-meter dash?
Most importantly, she asked her—
Aren't you curious about where Yuan Yuan went?
That sounded like a lure, but also like a threat.
So she got on the bus.
The place we went to was a private room in a Japanese restaurant, and you could tell from the decor that it wasn't cheap.
After entering, Qiu Shanhua found a seat and patted the tatami seat next to him: "Sit."
Ling Sinan felt uneasy, but she tried her best to remain calm and stood motionless at the entrance.
There were only the mother and daughter in the private room.
Outside, the tavern was bustling, but inside the private room, it was absolutely quiet. The mother and daughter looked at each other, neither of them speaking.
Then, as if to break the eerie silence, a waiter dressed in a traditional Chinese dress came in and served tea to Qiu Shanhua, who was already seated.
Just as Qiu Shanhua was about to pour tea for Ling Sinan, he waved her out. The waiter, probably realizing the awkward atmosphere, wisely left.
After she left, Qiu Shanhua slowly said, "I gave you a place to sit, but you insisted on standing. Don't say I treated my daughter like a dog."
Ling Sinan thought for a moment, then walked over and sat down opposite her.
She wanted to ask Ling Qingyuan where he had gone, but she couldn't find a way to start the conversation.
"Yuanyuan went to see you yesterday, didn't she?" Qiu Shanhua took a sip of tea, and a sentence floated out from between the rim of the cup and her red lips.
Ling Sinan frowned: "What?" But her heart skipped a beat.
"Don't play dumb, I saw him escort you into the exam room with my own eyes."
My heart was suddenly gripped by a hand.
The teacup was placed on the low table. Qiu Shanhua lowered her slender eyebrows and said, "After all, we are siblings. Yuan Yuan's feelings for you are not so easily estranged."
—She didn't know.
Ling Sinan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her tone indicated that she was unaware that her relationship with Qingyuan had long since progressed beyond siblings to lovers. This was probably a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Sinan".
She rarely called her name so tenderly.
"Mom hopes you will keep your distance from your younger brother." But behind this warmth lies a net that has been waiting for a long time.
Ling Sinan paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup of barley tea.
I shouldn't have had such unrealistic fantasies.
The aroma of barley rose with the steam, a comforting scent that dissipated in the tense space.
"Why?" she asked, still smiling, resting her chin on her hand.
“Qingyuan and you grew up in different environments. He has his life, and you have yours… your life.”
“I didn’t,” Ling Sinan abruptly concluded. “Neither did he.”
Qiu Shanhua frowned: "What did you say?"
"Haven't my life already been trampled into mud under your feet?" Ling Sinan retorted. "As for Qingyuan... is the life he lived truly his own?"
"You make it sound so clear, but compared to your peers, are you missing an arm or a leg? Have we mistreated you? Or forced you to work part-time while studying?"
Ling Sinan tilted her head, her gaze sweeping across the diagonal corner of the ceiling, where a tiny gecko clung motionless to the wall. "What you've abandoned isn't just my arms and legs," she said.
"Ling Sinan, speak properly to me." Qiu Shanhua seemed unwilling to let her continue to be so negative, so she simply went straight to the point: "Your brother and you are not from the same world. You should know that very well. Besides, if you really consider him your brother, as his older sister, for his sake, you should stay away from him. Unless you want to regret it one day when you hear that something has happened to him."
Ling Sinan gripped the cup tightly, her lips pursed.
"Whether he and I are from the same world is something you guys don't know."
She looked up, her once moist and pitiful almond-shaped eyes now shining brightly, clear as a mirror, and even her lips curled up. "And why don't you go and tell him to keep your distance? You don't want to take care of your daughter, and you can't even take care of your son?"
The sound of a teacup hitting the table with a "clatter".
Qiu Shanhua stared at her, his gaze like a nail drilling into a wall, locking its sharpness and concealing its edge, yet still unable to hide the sharp, ambitious desire that was about to burst through the wall.
"Is this something a daughter should say to her mother?!"
Ling Sinan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and chuckled softly.
"Mom... has never said what a mother should say."
A single sentence momentarily stunned Qiu Shanhua, but upon looking again, she saw a raging fire burning in her eyes. Remembering her son's defiance and lies after her daughter's return, her resentment intensified: "You'll completely ruin him..."
“No.” Ling Sinan looked intently at her mother on the other side of the table. “It was you who ruined him.”
As they were talking, the door to the Japanese-style room was opened once again.
The first one to enter was Ling Sinan's father, Ling Miao.
The man following closely behind was a stranger to her, but judging from his attire, he was probably a businessman similar to her father.
Around fifty years old, with a resolute face, Bi Lingmiao looked much more weathered.
"President Shen, it's really not easy to meet you all. Let's drink until we drop today!" Ling Miao said with a smile, inviting the other party to sit down. Yan Mo exchanged a wink with Qiu Shanhua.
Ling Sinan sensed something was wrong and got up to leave.
But Ling Miao raised his hand and pressed on her shoulder, saying to the man called President Shen, "This is my daughter, Ling Sinan. She just finished her college entrance exam today." Then he patted her back, indicating to Ling Sinan, "Call him Uncle."
Shen Guoxu's scrutinizing gaze fell on Ling Sinan, carrying the authority of an elder.
Despite her reluctance, Ling Sinan still addressed him as "Uncle" out of politeness to her elders.
Shen Guoxu scrutinized her for a long time before nodding.
Ling Sinan felt numbness in her legs, and her fists clenched slightly on her skirt.
Her mother, Qiu Shanhua, had moved to her right at some point.
While Ling Miao and Shen Guoxu were chatting, Qiu Shanhua whispered in her ear, "I know you two are close, but if you still want to see your brother, you'd better finish this meal here."
"otherwise……"
“His place at the Australian school is still waiting for him.”
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
