"Silly boy, you’ve always been amazing."
Kang Li smiled and said, "Before you were an adult, you already knew how to support yourself. Then you decisively enlisted to protect the country, and later succeeded in getting into a prestigious command school through the college entrance exam. Now you’ve grown into an outstanding soldier, and watching your journey makes me very proud of you!"
"Sister, I’m not as amazing as you, and I can’t even compare to you."
Feng Yi remembered his days living with the Feng family and said, "Since I could speak, I was very happy to have brothers and sisters at home,
but I didn’t expect those so-called brothers and sisters... they didn’t like me at all. That would’ve been fine, but they didn’t treat me as a brother, constantly teasing me with words,
treating me like a servant, framing me, pushing me... Slowly, I became scared of being seen by them, scared to be with them, but under one roof, I had nowhere to hide, so I had to let them bully me.
And that woman saw it all and never intervened. Even when I looked at her for help, she’d pretend not to see. Being young, I couldn’t resist, so I quietly endured. In the deep of night,
I’d think over and over, how wonderful it would be if I had my own brother and sister, so I wouldn’t have to fear those who didn’t like me."
"Then why didn’t she ask us sisters-in-law to listen together?"
"You all went back to your rooms to rest; it’s such a cold night, and late at that. If Li Bao were to call you, who knows what the eldest sister-in-law might think, and can you guarantee you wouldn’t overthink it?"
"..." Wang Pan was silent for a while, then said aggrievedly, "Then what did she say to you?"
Kang Guoan was internally frustrated, but he held it in, speaking blandly: "Which ’she’ are you referring to? If you mean my sister, please address her by her name."
Wang Pan: "Do you have to nitpick over every detail?"
"It’s not about nitpicking, it’s about giving others the respect they deserve." Kang Guoan sighed, "Your personality seemed different before and after marriage, Wang Pan, which one is the real you?"
At this point, Kang Guoan turned to face Wang Pan, his face showing no emotion, and said lightly, "In my memory, when you were with my sister, you seemed like an open-minded, genuinely respectful girl. But after marriage, the you I see is arrogant and capricious, like a spoiled young lady.
Honestly, I don’t know what you’re so proud of. With your family’s situation, at most, you’re from an ordinary cadre family; you can’t call it a high-ranking household. Besides, even if you were from a distinguished family, wouldn’t it make you more cautious in your behavior?"
Wang Pan blushed.
"Also, I don’t mind you being capricious with me, but you can’t throw a tantrum at every turn. After all, I’m human, not a god. I get tired too, I have troubles too, so how am I supposed to always accommodate you, indulge you, and tolerate everything you do?"
Kang Guoan’s gaze was deep and unfathomable: "Was the pre-marriage you all an act?"
"I... I wasn’t pretending!"
Wang Pan’s heart was uneasy.
"If it was an act, I think you acted very well. At least, I didn’t find it fake, and my sister probably didn’t either."
After saying that, Kang Guoan closed his eyes, ready to sleep.
"I said I wasn’t pretending."
Back then, when she just started college, she was very happy, especially when she saw a classmate who looked like a fairy. She sincerely liked her and wanted to be friends, best friends even.
So, she loved being with this fairy-like classmate, loved listening to her talk.
After meeting her brother, she was attracted at first sight.
She pursued actively and achieved her wish.
