My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 197 - 166: Concern

"No need."

Upon hearing Lin Ying's thanks.

Chen Lusi's hand slightly raised, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally put it down.

"Actually, when I just rushed back, I already knew what had happened."

Lin Ying stopped her light rubbing, rested her cheek against Chen Lusi's neck, and softly said, "As Lin Wan's sister, I am truly grateful to you, but at the same time, I am also very worried about you."

"Worried about what?"

Chen Lusi was somewhat perplexed and didn't understand.

"..."

Lin Ying was silent for a moment: "I just heard about all the things happening near the school, Lin Wan has already told me, you ask me what I'm worried about... Chen Lusi, have you ever thought that we are equals?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi directly replied, "I've thought about it."

"You haven't."

Lin Ying lightly shook her head and then softly asked, "I ask you, what do we two sisters mean to you?"

"...Mean what?"

Chen Lusi was slightly taken aback, then thought for a moment, and replied, "Not much... If I really have to give an answer, it would probably be concern. After all, I watched you grow up, you should understand that feeling, even if you put aside that layer of blood connection, you should also care about Lin Wan, right?"

Lin Ying continued to ask, "... Then besides us?"

"Besides you two?"

Chen Lusi paused, gently shook her head, "No one else."

Lin Ying was silent for a moment, and quietly said, "Then if, one day, Lin Wan and I were to die, how would you feel?"

"..."

Chen Lusi's body stiffened, and her hand, which had been put down, couldn't help but lift to hold Lin Ying's slender waist: "There's no need to make such assumptions, this won't happen."

"Who knows, after all, you said... dying within a few years isn't impossible."

Lin Ying's voice was ethereal, like a spirit: "Life always has unexpected events, like this incident... what would have happened if you hadn't been there?"

"..."

Chen Lusi's hands slowly tightened.

Because of sitting curled up, Lin Ying already felt the pain, but she didn't cry out, instead, she slowly lifted her head, looking at Chen Lusi's chiseled face, "Your current feelings are exactly the same as mine when I heard about the causes and consequences of this incident, that's equality."

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at the perfect, flawless face in front of her, in silence.

"You are an individual person, you shouldn't live for others, because then you become a slave; but you can't live completely for yourself either, because that is too unfair for others."

Lin Ying raised her fair and delicate arm, encircling Chen Lusi's neck: "I remember when I was small you said, at first we stayed together only because both sets of parents died, we were in similar situations, seeking warmth from each other.

We have no blood relations, not even close family ties, the reason we met was indeed due to seeking warmth from each other.

But after so many years of seeking warmth, even strangers with no relations can develop feelings.

Just like you said, even putting aside that layer of blood connection, I would care about Lin Wan... And why does Lin Wan repeatedly call you brother-in-law? It's not just because she's young and finds it fun, more so, it's simply to keep you around.

After all, to her, besides me, her blood-related sister, the other family is you, who has no blood connection, and how to keep you perhaps the best way is to make you a family member in terms of ethics.

This is our two sisters' concern... Now, changing my previous question, if one day you were to die, how do you think we would feel?"

Chen Lusi: "..."

He didn't know what to say.

Lin Ying gently gathered Chen Lusi's hair, and continued, "Chen Lusi, from childhood until now, I've always tied you with concern, because I know you have always been cool and reserved, unwilling to say anything.

And after so many years, I thought you understood... but it seems you don't, maybe because we are two sisters, and we both grew up, you think no matter what we still have some support.

So you could say, 'Although it would be somewhat regrettable, dying within a few years isn't impossible.'

But just hearing you talk about Lin Wan and I dying made you nervous enough to almost break my waist, how do you think we would react if you died?"

"..."

Chen Lusi realized it and slightly loosened his hold, but still said nothing.

"I'm not a casual person."

Lin Ying leaned slightly forward, her smooth forehead gently pressed against Chen Lusi's forehead, and softly said, "For example, these actions, I wouldn't even do them with my younger sister, just now during the bath, in order to make Lin Wan understand you're also a man, I deliberately said for her to walk up to you naked.

During that time, I actually thought about it... if there would be a day I really walked out, would I do so, the answer is yes.

Even if one day you deliberately came in, I would probably only hit your shoulder, complain a bit, and then ask you to help me wash my hair.

No matter what you do to me, I won't get angry, and I don't think another person can make me think like this, nor do I think after such a person dies I can remain calm... that is probably also concern." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"... Sorry."

Chen Lusi was silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Lin Ying softly murmured, "If you really want to apologize, just remember... there's always someone who cares about you, consider it for me, don't do foolish things."

Upon hearing Lin Ying's words, Chen Lusi remained silent for a long time, then nodded.

... Concern?

Chen Lusi held Lin Ying, slightly distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before, he truly believed that some things were completely insignificant.
