Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 586: Elder Sister Like a Mother

The ladies’ restroom was solely used by Bai Sasa, and she quickly finished washing up and returned to her room.

By this time, her elder sister had already changed into her pajamas and was rolling around on the bed.

Of course, these pajamas and the like had all been prepared by Shopkeeper Yan for them.

Bai Sasa felt somewhat emotional, not having expected that in her lifetime she would actually be able to sleep with her elder sister in the Bai Residence, something unthinkable in the past.

After all, her elder sister was someone they looked up to.

Bai Sasa carefully tugged at Bai Junjun’s sleeve as she prepared to sleep. Bai Junjun touched her head with a slight chuckle.

"What’s wrong? You’re so clingy tonight, are you missing mom?"

Bai Sasa blinked in confusion.

Bai Junjun realized she had misspoke, especially since Bai Sasa was just an eight-year-old child and shouldn’t be mentioning her mother.

Bai Sasa didn’t understand what "mom" meant and was puzzled for a while before she responded. She shook her head and said, "Having elder sister by my side is good enough. I don’t ask for anything more."

Indeed, children of the Shi clans were not allowed to be raised alongside their concubine mothers.

They lived in the Bamboo Garden with specially assigned wet nurses and nannies for upbringing, and they could only catch a glimpse of their concubine mothers when paying respects to the main wife, and even then, closeness was not allowed.

The concubine mothers also couldn’t freely visit their children, but whenever they had a chance, they would only give persistent advice to listen to the nanny and follow the rules, and so on.

Thus, in the Shi clans, the bond between children and their concubine mothers was quite faint.

Bai Sasa’s concubine mother only discovered her daughter’s incredible strength during their escape from peril.

However, her mother worried that such strength would be frowned upon by the main wife. All along the way, she tirelessly advised her to hide her strength and not to show how she differed from others.

Bai Sasa didn’t need reminders as she knew from her childhood. Often, when learning how to hold a pen or use chopsticks, she would accidentally break them due to her uncontrollable strength, and she was frequently punished by the nanny for that.

It was then she learned she had to work harder than others at tasks requiring dexterity, and she became careful about controlling her strength, managing to keep it hidden successfully.

It wasn’t until they had to flee for their lives that her secret was discovered by her mother, who was both shocked and terrified, repeatedly lamenting and worrying that her daughter would be unable to marry well.

Hence, strictly speaking, Bai Sasa didn’t feel much for her concubine mother and didn’t quite understand the concept of a mother.

Instead, since their escape, her elder sister had taken great care of her, rescuing her from dire situations, saving tasty and fun things for her, and even advising her not to live for others.

Her sister, who was like a Celestial God in her eyes, seemed more like a mother.

Bai Junjun had never thought that she, skillful at fighting, would one day play a motherly elder sister. If her close friends knew she had turned into an elder sister in ancient times, they would probably die laughing.

Bai Junjun ruffled Bai Sasa’s hair, becoming more adept at comforting children.

"Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Famous Scholar Mountain for a stroll."

"Sure!" Bai Sasa nodded excitedly.

In fact, she hadn’t really been out much at the Yan Residence, and to be able to stroll around the Imperial Capital was something she could only dream of.

Of course, the period of their escape had also made her wild; high walls couldn’t confine her anymore.

"If you want to go out and play, sleep early. We can catch the early market tomorrow."

Although Bai Sasa wanted to sleep, she couldn’t help but feel excited about being back home, or perhaps it was the anticipation of going out tomorrow; she simply couldn’t fall asleep.

"Your hair looks really lovely today, elder sister. I like it this way,"

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, "You’re bound to be disappointed, I don’t know how to style it."
