Knowing that resistance will only result in injury, why bother with pointless struggles? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Yet An Yu smirked sarcastically and instinctively began to resist An Ning’s attempt to apply medicine on him.

An Yu supported himself by using both hands and feet, crawling away slightly to express his protest against her words through his actions.

An Ning knew he was angry.

An Ning opened her mouth, originally wanting to say something, but after thinking for a bit, she closed it.

Explanations were meaningless and would only increase his attachment here.

Since it’s clear he can’t stay, why make him feel reluctant?

An Ning’s behavior, however, visibly disappointed An Yu even more.

He thought An Ning was just tough on the outside but soft inside, having spent so much time together, even if she refused to call him brother verbally, surely in her heart she could not be as firm as her words.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that what he thought was only what he believed.

"Yuyu, your sister is just too straightforward; she speaks without thinking. Don’t take it to heart..." Mrs. Yan finally stepped forward to persuade after the atmosphere remained tense for a while.

Had it been a petty quarrel between two kids, she might have been able to resolve it with slight scolding, but these two are neither too young nor too old, and An Yu didn’t grow up by her side since childhood. Her guilt was already present, and reprimanding was even out of the question.

Moreover, in this argument, anyone would see it as entirely An Ning’s fault, bearing no relation to An Yu at all.

However, An Ning had a hard life in the past, and Mrs. Yan always felt sorry for this daughter. Since last year, her daughter suddenly became strong-willed, making it difficult for a mother to discipline her without feeling embarrassed.

Thus, she found herself in a dilemma at this moment.

Yet An Yu merely shook his head, "I’m not angry."

The fragile voice due to injury made him appear particularly pitiful.

Instantly, Mrs. Yan’s heart ached with pain.

She reached out, wanting to touch him to offer comfort but feared her hand might touch his wounds, so she refrained.

Mrs. Yan stood up, walked to An Ning’s side, and took her arm, saying, "Come with me for a moment..."

After saying that, Mrs. Yan led An Ning to a corner and immediately questioned, "An Ning, I know you don’t like your brother, and usually it’s fine, but now he’s in such a state, injured physically while still thinking of you. Can you restrain yourself when speaking, not be so harsh?"

"I’m sorry." An Ning knew her words were somewhat excessive.

Mrs. Yan: "I don’t want your apology, this life of mine won’t change much. I just hope you siblings can get along well, is that possible?"

She didn’t worry about An Yu, because she could tell An Yu always wanted to get closer to An Ning.

Her concern was with this daughter in front of her.

Their age should make girls more obedient, and An Ning was always obedient before.

She was never harsh to others, yet she was precisely harsh towards An Yu, which truly exhausted Mrs. Yan.

"I didn’t mean to say it like that..." She was just...

However, before An Ning could explain, she heard Mrs. Yan urgently question, "Once or twice can be accidental, but three, four, or five times? Can that still be considered unintentional?"
