Chapter 528: Chapter 261 “At Least Only You, I Will Let You Live”_3 Chapter 528: Chapter 261 “At Least Only You, I Will Let You Live”_3 “Brother, are you okay?” The voice by his ear interrupted his thoughts.

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Zini did not lift her head, only leaning on his shoulder with drooping eyes, “You’re crying… even though it’s just one eye.”

“It’s just an allergy…” Ke Mingye said, gently rubbing his eye, “It’s nothing, keep sleeping, we’re not home yet.”

“Are you really okay?” Bai Zini leaned against his shoulder, continuing to ask.

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Zini was silent for a long time, then said quietly, “You asked me this morning. I thought you were so nice for the first time, noticing that I was in a bad mood straight away. You weren’t like this before, you’re always alone. Dad always tells me not to let you feel like an adopted child. He wants me to be nicer to you.”

...

“So, you’ve been clinging to me just because dad said that?”

“No.” Bai Zini said, “I didn’t like you at first. But then I realized that you were actually very lonely and lost, yet you were kind. You would feed stray dogs and cats on the street, and you care about family more than anyone else. Even though you always seemed impatient with me, I knew you cared about me.”

“Do you think I’ve become very strange lately?”

“No, still the same brother, but you’ve gotten better… You started to care about me. You would ask ‘are you feeling upset?’ You’d come closer to me on your own, touch my head, and start to consider what I’m thinking. Even though sometimes you would withdraw, at least it’s not just me clinging to you.”

Ke Mingye pursed his lips downwards, unsure whether he was smiling.

“I’m actually very tired… always have been.”

“I know you’re tired, you’ve always had trouble fitting into this family. Your personality is stubborn, you’re reclusive, always just talking tough as if you don’t care about us, hiding in your room alone… That’s why I’ve always been knocking on your door, hoping that one day you would talk to me about your feelings, just like today.”

“Is that so…”

“When I was little, the teacher asked me on a paper what I wanted to be when I grew up.” Bai Zini laughed, “I said I wanted to be a magic girl, to pick up a magic wand and protect my brother. The kids in the class laughed at me, so mean…”

“How childish of you, who else would they laugh at but you…”

Ke Mingye tried to speak with a mocking tone as usual, his voice hoarse.

“The world is such a mess, every day so many people die, I can’t guarantee that I’ll always be by your side, so at that time I really wanted to protect you, even if it was a bit naive.”

“Why can’t your brother protect you?” Ke Mingye said tiredly, his gaze dropping to her cheek.

“When I’m no longer a magic girl, will you… protect me?” Bai Zini spoke softly, “Just like… I’ve protected you.”

“I…”

Ke Mingye paused for a moment.

“I…”

He bowed his head slightly, repeating the same word.

“I will…”

The mental sketch unfolding before his eyes, the words chaotically dancing.

I will…

I will, kill you, I will kill you, delete you, kill you, fight at Shengda Company, Luwa’er, what are we being instructed to do… what time, the era of Satan, kill, kill, kill…

I will…

Kill…

You…

Kill you, kill you…

Kill your whole family…

Including you…

I am going…

To…

Return…

The disordered text spawned on the mental sketch, like a virus-infected program, like garbled text, continuously replicating, seemingly extending endlessly…

Ke Mingye’s face twitched slightly.

I will…

The words on the sketch twisted, all the “kill you” dancing around, blurring in the teary vision, until the final words that came into sight became one and the same.

I will, protect you.

A tear traced down Ke Mingye’s cheek, his lips quivering slightly.

Silently murmuring.

“I will…

Protect you.”

His Adam’s apple moved up and down, his eyes reddening.

“At least just you… I will keep you alive.”

I never had a family…

At least just for a year, I really want… to have a family.

“You are… my… family.”

Ke Mingye whispered the few words from his throat.

Just simple words, yet spoken as if with all his strength, as if a burden was lifted.

Moments later, seeing no response on his shoulder, he gently turned his head to look.

Bai Zini had fallen asleep… Her eyes shielded by her drooping black hair, a faint smile on her lips as she slumbered against his shoulder.

“What am I actually… doing?” Ke Mingye muttered to himself, with a self-deprecating laugh.

In a daze, he suddenly froze, then slowly turned his head to look out the window.

The reflection in the window was not his face, there was a boy with a sinister smile.

The subway emerged from the tunnel, with a deafening roar. In the quiet world, Ke Mingye slowly widened his eyes.

Reflected on the window was… shockingly, the young Ke Mingye.

In his hands, he held a spark.
