Yun Ya smiled, "Your father and mother must be very loving, or else how could they have raised you to be so cheerful."
Shen Luokui thought of Yun Ya’s family, guessed she must have been feeling uncomfortable, and ran over to her side, hooking arms with her as she laughed, "Of course, I’m sixteen this year, and my parents just happened to have been married for sixteen years. Let me tell you, they had a shotgun wedding back then, which was pretty trendy for that era. My mom has told me countless times how she regrets having me. She was the most promising athlete on the national team back then, but for me and my dad, she reluctantly retired."
Yun Ya focused on the main point, "Were Father Shen and Mother Shen both on the national team?"
Shen Luokui nodded, "Yeah, they met in the provincial team at thirteen, so you could say they were childhood sweethearts. Later, I secretly asked my mom, and she said that my dad was the one who pursued her. I asked my dad and he said my mom was the one who pursued him. Isn’t that funny, haha...."
Yun Ya’s eyes gleamed slightly. As it happened, Kang Jinse had also spent time on the national team, but without any results, because she was beautiful and took on advertisements everywhere. Eventually, she was kicked out by the national team and formally entered the entertainment industry.
It seems Kang Jinse and Shen Xudong must have some history, otherwise, Shen Xudong wouldn’t have shown that complex expression when looking at Kang Jinse just now.
Shen Xudong’s family is now happy and fulfilled, he better not get any ideas about revisiting the past. She knew well the fickleness of men, and Shen Xudong looked quite ordinary. She estimated that with just a little seduction from Kang Jinse, he could easily waver.
And Kang Jinse, a woman wounded by love, was the type who most loved to revisit past relationships, especially with a warm man like Shen Xudong, and Kang Jinse was a habitual mistress...
Yun Ya looked at Shen Luokui, her smile so carefree. To be honest, Yun Ya both envied and was jealous of her.
There’s a demon living in everyone’s heart, and even the greatest philanthropist can’t escape their inner demon.
In Yun Ya’s heart lived a fiercer, more brutal demon, always heavily suppressed by her. She never denied she was a bad person, although she appeared incredibly kind in front of others.
At that moment, the demon in her heart started to stir. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
She was insanely jealous of Shen Luokui, this unattractive little girl. Why did she get such a happy family?
This world is inherently dark, sinful, and ugly... She was merely exposing the darkest side of human nature. In that instant, she even thought that if Kang Jinse really rekindled an old flame with Shen Xudong, Shen Luokui and her mother would wake up from their bubble of happiness, become enlightened from their innocence, and fully recognize the cruelty of this world...
Every cell in her body was overtaken by this mad idea. She even wanted to hasten the fruition of it all. Was she insane? She questioned herself.
"Yun Ya, why have you stopped talking..." Shen Luokui turned her head and saw the girl whose half face was hidden in the shadows, her eyes frighteningly bright but also appearing sinister, like a demon that had just woken up from a long, deep slumber... baring its fangs, ready to devour her whole.
Shen Luokui stumbled a step back in fright.
"Yun Ya, what’s wrong with you?"
The young girl smiled gently, stepping out from the darkness, her eyes and brows filled with soft smiles, as if everything before had been nothing but her own illusion.
"Xiao Kui, why are you nervous? I’m not going to eat you," Yun Ya said laughingly.
Shen Luokui slapped her chest forcefully, "You scared me to death just now. You were scarier than a ghost, I must have seen it wrong."
She laughed and took Shen Luokui by the shoulders. Shen Luokui was petite and exquisite, only reaching up to Yun Ya’s chest. When Yun Ya took her by the shoulders, she pulled her into a hug.
"Xiao Kui, you’re a good girl; I won’t let anyone hurt you." A gentle murmur dissipated with the night breeze, threading like silk into Shen Luokui’s heart.
The embrace was warm and sweet, and she couldn’t resist taking a deep breath. The fear from a moment ago was smoothed over and dissipated by this embrace.
She didn’t know that at that moment, she could have been led down a path of no return by the girl in front of her.
However, now, the storm had passed, and having overcome her inner demon, her world could only be wonderful.
Yun Ya gently closed her eyes.
Because you desire what you’ve lost, and she knew exactly where her jealousy stemmed from. A person ruled by jealousy is terrifying, and Yun Ya didn’t want to become unrecognizable. Because of Brother Yan, because of Miaomiao, she was willing to believe that in this world, there is coexistence of light and hope.
