Chapter 114: Jiang Yu Extra Story: Sister Likes You (4)

The strands of hair were tangled by the wind, but Jiang Yu's fingers were agile as she patiently untangled them. Her movements were delicate and gentle. Her voice was soft, like countless nights whispering in one's ear, seductive and tempting. However, the words she spoke were chilling.

The girl couldn't stop trembling. The ends of her hair brushed against her itchy skin, and Jiang Yu's fingertips touched her forehead, creating an itch in her heart. She kept her back straight, her attention focused on her own forehead, savoring the sensation, hoping that her sister would never remove her hand.

Her face grew hotter and hotter. She stole glances at Jiang Yu, whose eyes remained calm and unperturbed, without much emotional fluctuation, yet seemingly hiding something different.

Every time she was with her sister, she felt incredibly comfortable. Her sister was like warm water, accommodating everything within, regardless of how childish her topics of conversation were. Her sister would listen with a smile, respond seriously, and occasionally engage in discussions with her. Her sister always appeared gentle, always seemed so powerful, drawing her in and making her unable to extricate herself.

But she knew her sister wore a mask.

The so-called gentleness was merely a habit. She couldn't see what her sister was like in other aspects, and naturally couldn't reach that heart.

And now, as she looked into her sister's eyes, without the mask, she saw so much more.

Although it still remained unfathomable.

Her sister wasn't angry, didn't scold her, and didn't leave her outside the fashion show venue. She simply told her to go back. She knew she had caused trouble for her sister, and her heart felt sour. She couldn't bear to let go like this.

"I'm sorry..." Cheng Yan lowered her head. "I caused trouble for sister."

Her bangs were already neatly arranged, but Jiang Yu hesitated to retract her hand. Her fingertips slid along the girl's shoulder as she sighed. "When did you arrive?"

"Two days ago."

"Which hotel are you staying at?"

Cheng Yan obediently took out her phone and showed her the reservation information.

The journey had been relatively smooth. She hadn't encountered any of the bad things she had imagined. Her confidence grew, realizing that as long as she had money, she didn't need to panic when she was away from home. Even without a common language, there were translation devices. In modern society, everything is convenient.

She had been too timid and fearful in the past. She hadn't known that going out and experiencing things was also limited by circumstances, making it impossible to broaden her horizons.

"Your first time abroad?"

"Mm."

"Aren't you afraid of anything happening?"

"I didn't think about it that much..."

The girl drooped her eyelids, looking aggrieved. Jiang Yu suddenly felt both amused and exasperated. She couldn't quite put into words how she felt, so she pinched the girl's cheek. "You little brat, you managed everything on your own. What should I say to you?"

Her words contained both praise and a hint of criticism. Cheng Yan felt at a loss, unsure whether she should be happy or sad. She lowered her head even further.

All she had in her mind was finding her sister. How could she consider so many things? Besides, many things have to be experienced for the first time. It could be seen as a form of training.

"Did you book a return ticket?" Jiang Yu lightly caressed her face.

It's cold.

Cheng Yan tilted her head unconsciously and unknowingly pressed her face against Jiang Yu's warm palm. "Yeah, it's for the afternoon two days from now."

Her sister's hand was so warm.

She was truly lucky. She managed to meet her sister before the end of Fashion Week. There was still time for everything, and she could make another effort.

However, in the next moment, all her hopes were dashed.

"I'll change your ticket for you, leave tonight."

The voice in her ears sounded like shattered ice, falling all around. The girl suddenly looked up and gazed into those bottomless eyes, her heart freezing in an instant.

Jiang Yu finished speaking and took out her phone to check the flights for tonight. However, all the direct flights for the next three days were sold out, leaving only connecting flights. She thought about Cheng Yan, all alone and unfamiliar with the surroundings. The more complicated the itinerary, the more likely accidents would occur. If something went wrong at any point, she would regret it deeply.

"I'm not leaving," Cheng Yan grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw the determined look in the girl's eyes. She felt a headache coming on and couldn't come up with a solution right away. She furrowed her brow.

With her cold and sharp features, Jiang Yu exuded a strong sense of distance when she didn't smile, let alone when she frowned. Cheng Yan was scared by her reaction and loosened her grip on her wrist, her voice trembling, "Sister, don't you want me anymore..."

"Cheng Yan."

"Mm?"

"You're a smart girl. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you," Jiang Yu said in a calm voice as she held her hand tightly.

Tears welled up in Cheng Yan's eyes.

"I know, Sister..."

"But I want to stay by your side, just like before. You don't have to give me money, or anything. I won't say those things anymore, let's pretend nothing happened..."

Cheng Yan choked up, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Jiang Yu's mind buzzed, the girl's words piercing her heart like countless sharp arrows. She found it hard to breathe but couldn't bring herself to lower her face. A crack appeared in her calm gaze.

"Sister, am I cheap?"

"Don't say that."

Hearing those words, Jiang Yu furrowed her brow even more, then realized she might be scaring her little sister. She composed herself, raising her hand to wipe away Cheng Yan's tears, and soothingly said, "You're still young and haven't seen the outside world. You think what's in front of you is the best. When you grow up and enter society, meet different people, you'll discover that what suits you best is the truly best."

The reason why the little canary was tempted was simply due to a sense of admiration and longing for strength. It was dependency, not love.

She certainly couldn't use this dependency to keep someone trapped by her side.

Cheng Yan shook her head while crying, "There's no one better than you."

"..."

"I just want to see you often. I don't care about anything else..." Her nose twitched, and her eyes were swollen.

They could avoid being in a relationship, being intimate, and even not talking, but they couldn't never see each other again. As she reached this point, she felt despicable. Her stalking and pathetic appearance is ugly, but if she could control her emotions, she wouldn't have come today.

Jiang Yu stared into her eyes. "You wouldn't mind seeing me with someone else?"

As soon as she said it, she regretted it instantly.

How could she say such despicable words and resort to such a low tactic? Jiang Yu asked herself, feeling a strong sense of crisis rising within her. She couldn't continue being soft.

She, who had always been calm and rational, suddenly lost her direction.

What should she do?

Cheng Yan's face turned pale, murmuring to herself, "Sister, do you have someone else?"

"No."

Jiang Yu let go of her hand and leaned back against the sofa, closing her eyes.

If it were any of those girls from before, she would have easily dismissed them. She had encountered clingy people before, but she had never been lenient. She would sever ties without hesitation. But Cheng Yan was different. Jiang Yu couldn't bring herself to be ruthless.

If things continued like this, the situation would inevitably spiral out of control.

Cheng Yan looked at her helplessness and knew she was being repulsive. She didn't say anything and tightly pulled Jiang Yu's down jacket around herself, huddling up and curling her legs.

After a moment, Jiang Yu opened her eyes and glanced over at the girl curled up in the corner of the sofa, wrapped in a down jacket clearly two sizes too big for her. Her eyes were vacant, and her body trembled, resembling an abandoned puppy. Jiang Yu felt even more guilty, a stronger sense of guilt than ever before.

"Stay at my place tonight," she said.

Cheng Yan's eyelashes trembled as she looked at Jiang Yu. A small flame of brightness ignited in her eyes.

Jiang Yu turned her face away and continued, "The day after tomorrow, I have to fly to Milan to take care of some things. I'll be back in two or three days, and then we'll go back to China together and sort things out."

The corner of the girl's lips slowly lifted, but her smile froze upon hearing the last sentence. The smile froze on her lips.

So, she had to wait until they returned to China to settle the score.

Her sister was worried about her going back alone, right?

Did she still have hope?

"Okay," Cheng Yan softly responded, relieved.

….

The night grew late, and the clock pointed to eleven.

The room was silent. Jiang Yu sat on the sofa wearing a robe, motionless like a sculpture. The dim yellow light illuminated her cold and rigid facial features, giving her an ethereal appearance. She held a slender cigarette between her fingers, and the burning ember glowed brightly, resembling a crimson eye.

She took a drag from the cigarette and exhaled a thin puff of smoke, dispersing a faint floral fragrance.

"Sister..."

A soft call came from behind. Jiang Yu turned her head and saw Cheng Yan standing by the bedroom door, silently watching her.

She furrowed her brow. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep," Cheng Yan whispered, taking slow steps as she approached Jiang Yu and sat down beside her. "Sister, you're still awake too, aren't you?"

Jiang Yu moved slightly to the side and said in a calm voice, "I'll sleep in a little while. You should go back to sleep. Don't stay up late."

As soon as the words fell, she was embraced.

The scent of shower gel wafted into Jiang Yu's nose, mingling with the smoke, creating a delicately pleasant aroma. The young girl's body was like a sponge, soft and filled with abundant water. When squeezed, it would easily melt away.

Jiang Yu was taken aback, gently struggling and attempting to pry the girl's arms away. But the more she struggled, the tighter the girl held on. Jiang Yu furrowed her brows and said in a low voice, "Let go."

"No, I won't."

"Cheng Yan!"

Suddenly raising her voice, the girl's body trembled, but she stubbornly continued to hold on to Jiang Yu. In the darkness, her eyes turned red, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't control the choking in her voice. "I just want to hold you..."

"I'll say it again, go back to sleep," Jiang Yu said patiently 

"Want me."

"…."

Cheng Yan clenched her teeth and mustered up the courage to climb onto Jiang Yu's lap.

But before she could settle herself, she was forcefully pushed away, losing her balance and falling to the ground. As she lifted her head, she met Jiang Yu's icy gaze.

Her heart instantly plummeted into an abyss.

"Goodnight."

Jiang Yu turned her face away, extinguished the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and went back to her own room. She closed the door and locked it with a click.

The lingering scent gradually faded away.

….

The house was bought by Jiang Yu, an apartment located close to the city center, convenient for resting. She had another small villa in the suburbs, which served as her permanent residence in Paris.

During these two days of rest, Jiang Yu took Cheng Yan around, visiting famous landmarks, historical sites, and tasting local cuisine. She shared stories about the local customs and even bought things for her.

The young girl resisted, refusing to accept anything.

But Jiang Yu only needed to use one word to conquer her.

—Behave.

When the word came out of her sister's mouth, Cheng Yan couldn't resist it at all.

She was well-behaved.

But her sister didn't want her anymore.

Happy times always pass quickly. On the third day, Jiang Yu flew to Italy, leaving Cheng Yan alone in the Paris apartment. Although there were people taking care of her daily life, the days without her sister were incredibly difficult. Especially when she thought about facing the cruel reality after returning to their home country, she wished to drown in her dreams, never to wake up...

In early March, the two of them returned to Jiangcheng together.

Cheng Yan took a leave of absence for this trip and missed many classes. She spent several days in the library, trying to catch up on her studies, but her mind was elsewhere, filled with thoughts of Jiang Yu.

Her sister said they would go out for a meal on the weekend.

She had a faint sense of foreboding.

Endure... endure...

Finally, Saturday arrived.

Cheng Yan was like a bird freed from its cage, happily flying towards the sky called Jiang Yu. She changed into beautiful new clothes, put on light makeup, and hummed a song as she walked out of the school gate, getting into the familiar black car.

Her happiness was so simple.

Jiang Yu didn't wear any makeup, dressed casually, and her serene face carried a gentle smile. As soon as she saw Cheng Yan, she complimented, "You look beautiful today."

"In my heart, sister is the most beautiful~" Cheng Yan squinted her eyes and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

As they laughed, her gaze fell on the windshield, and her smile suddenly faded.

The clay figurine was gone.

Noticing her gaze, Jiang Yu was momentarily taken aback, pretending not to see and smiling as she asked, "Shall we go have Cantonese cuisine?"

The corners of Cheng Yan's lips moved as she was about to ask, but when she looked up and saw that Jiang Yu didn't seem inclined to explain, an indescribable sting pierced her heart. She swallowed the words that had welled up in her mouth and mustered a smile, obediently replying, "Okay."

That sense of unease grew stronger and stronger.

During the meal, the two of them chatted, and Jiang Yu asked Cheng Yan about her studies. Cheng Yan obediently answered, observing Jiang Yu's relaxed expression and good mood. The words she had been contemplating for a long time remained unsaid, hoping that she was just overthinking things.

The meal lasted a long time.

In the afternoon, around two o'clock, Jiang Yu accompanied Cheng Yan back to the school.

The car stopped at the gate, and Jiang Yu took out the check from her bag, grabbed Cheng Yan's hand, and slipped it in, enclosing it with her five fingers.

"Sister?"

Cheng Yan instinctively tried to retract her hand, but she was held tightly and couldn't break free. Anxiously, she said, "What are you doing... I don't want it..."

"Listen to me first."

Jiang Yu applied a slight force, gripping her hand to keep her from moving, and with her other hand, she gently patted Cheng Yan to console her, saying softly, "You're in your junior year now, and in the second half of the year, you'll be a senior. Whether it's an internship or pursuing further studies, whatever choice you make in the future, you will be afraid of making mistakes. With financial support, you can reduce the cost of trial and error, mitigate some risks, and give yourself enough time and energy to plan your future path."

"Consider it a gift from your sister. From now on... we won't be in contact anymore."

A bucket of cold water was poured over Cheng Yan's head. Despite her mental preparation, she was caught off guard and the chill pierced her heart, making her shiver.

Her sister no longer wanted her.

Her sister had never truly loved her.

In her sister's eyes, she was just a plaything.

Cheng Yan's nose tingled, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably, her head lowered as tears dripped onto her pants, leaving large wet stains.

"Sister..."

"Mm."

"Can you tell me why?" She wiped away her tears and looked up at Jiang Yu, but all she could see was herself reflected in those bottomless eyes.

Suddenly, she felt so ugly.

Jiang Yu gazed at the tear-streaked face of the girl, and a soft spot in the depths of her heart throbbed momentarily, but in an instant, she told herself not to relent. The coldness returned to her eyes as she said in a faint voice, "There is no why. I never thought about it."

After speaking, she couldn't help but reach out and wipe away Cheng Yan's tears.

The girl tightly pursed her lips, remained silent, her shoulders trembling incessantly, tears streaming down without end.

"Cheng Yan..." Jiang Yu took a deep breath, turned her face away, and softly called out her name.

"Be good, okay?"

A self-deprecating smile tugged at the corners of Cheng Yan's mouth, and she nodded, "Okay, I'll be good."

She is a good girl.

She will listen to her sister's words.

No contact, then let there be no contact…
