Chapter 391: Chapter 390: Lin Dong’s Sister

Su Yang walked with his hands clasped behind his back, following Lin Dong from a distance all the way back to the village.

Lin Dong was in high spirits, humming softly as they walked, seemingly in a pleasant mood. Occasionally, when he discovered beautiful wildflowers by the roadside, he would stop to smell them. If he found their scent pleasing, he would pick them, and before long, he had woven a beautiful floral crown.

Suddenly, Lin Dong stopped.

Looking closely, Su Yang saw that on the path in front of Lin Dong, there was a Little Bird that had not yet grown all its feathers, chirping loudly. It seemed to be a chick that had accidentally fallen from its nest.

Two adult birds next to it were chirping frantically around the chick, clearly at a loss for what to do. Seeing Lin Dong approaching, they chirped even more fiercely, as if afraid that Lin Dong would harm the Little Bird.

Da Huang was the first to spot the Little Bird and immediately got excited, ready to rush over, but Lin Dong called out, "Da Huang, come back!"

Da Huang looked at the Little Bird, then back at Lin Dong, and reluctantly returned to Lin Dong’s side.

Lin Dong halted his steps, looked up around him, and located the bird’s nest, not without a smile. He walked over, picked up the chick with great care, placed it in the bamboo basket on his back, and then climbed up near the nest. Carefully, he placed the chick back into the nest.

Su Yang, watching the entire process from behind, also allowed a slight smile to pass across his lips.

Lin Dong’s life circumstances were quite similar to those of Su Yang’s apprentice Xiao Hei, as well as their lifestyles.

Yet, the two of them had completely different characters.

Xiao Hei’s heart was filled with anger, his soul brimming with a desire to kill. As long as his killing intent did not fade, his strength would never cease to rise, rapidly reaching the apex.

Lin Dong, on the other hand, harbored not a trace of resentment or anger. Even though the world had been so cruel to him, his heart was still full of love for it. A young boy, shouldering all the burdens of his family, and still able to maintain such purity of heart—that was truly remarkable.

Upon arriving home, Lin Dong began to busily prepare breakfast.

When Su Yang entered the kitchen, Lin Dong noticed him and smiled, "Big brother, up so early?"

"Aren’t you up even earlier?" Su Yang replied.

"Oh, I needed to go into the mountains early in the morning; otherwise, a lot of things would be gone," Lin Dong said with a smile.

Su Yang nodded, sat in front of the stove to help with the fire, and watched as Lin Dong busied himself with kneading the dough for steamed buns, cooking vegetables, and stewing soup.

In two hours, a lavish breakfast was ready. Lin Dong then walked to his sister’s room door, first pressing his ear against it to listen, and then carefully knocked. Receiving no reply, he did not knock again but turned and went back to the courtyard.

"She’s usually so tired from school that she sleeps until late morning every time she comes back," Lin Dong said with a smile. "Big brother, why don’t you wake up big sister first, and you two have breakfast?"

"No need," Su Yang replied. "The two of us can eat; she’ll probably get up late too."

"All right then," Lin Dong said, and moved the table outside where he and Su Yang ate breakfast together.

Around ten in the morning, Ye Wantong and Lin Ting finally got up one after another.

Ye Wantong walked out of her room, her hair still uncombed, but the makeup Su Yang had applied yesterday had faded by half, which now made her look even prettier.

Lin Ting was a thin high school student, not very tall but wearing a pair of very high heels. She was dressed simply in her school uniform, but as one passed by her, it was still possible to detect the strong scent of makeup on her.

Su Yang slightly frowned, wondering how she could still find the time and mood to wear makeup and dress up in such a humble home environment.

Lin Ting stepped out of the room, scratching her head, and Su Yang finally got a clear look at her face, which stunned him on the spot.

He had seen this girl before—twice.

Once was last night at the villa, when a middle-aged man threw a wad of cash at her face, and she silently picked up the money and left. The second time was on the way back, when she was being intimate with a man in a car, and then took the money and left.

Even though she wasn’t wearing makeup now, Su Yang could still recognize her as the girl from last night!

At this moment, Su Yang felt as if he had been dealt a heavy blow. He looked towards Lin Dong, who was also looking at Lin Ting with a face full of adoration, as if his world consisted only of his little sister.

Su Yang felt an indescribable pain in his heart; he didn’t even know how to meet Lin Dong’s gaze. How could he let Lin Dong know that the sister he treasured and loved the most was doing such things outside?

In Lin Dong’s heart, she should be studying hard at school to eventually get into a good university, marry a good person, and lead a happy life.

Lin Dong worked from dawn to dusk, possibly going to bed at midnight and getting up at four in the morning, doing everything he could just to support her education.

Keep in mind, Lin Dong was the same age as her; they were fraternal twins. Lin Dong was only born five minutes earlier but took on all the responsibilities, propping up the entire family with his young shoulders, supporting her future.

Yet she had degenerated, doing such things!

What Su Yang found most incomprehensible was, if she was willing to sell her body and forsake her dignity, where did the money she earned go, and why did she still need Lin Dong to worry about a hundred yuan for a week’s living expenses?

Keep in mind, it was to scrape together living expenses for her that Lin Dong had resorted to inviting Su Yang and the others to stay at his home. Su Yang still remembered how Lin Dong didn’t care when he was ridiculed by the people around him. But when he feared that Su Yang wouldn’t come to his house, he became so anxious that he was almost ready to kneel.

How could the paths of these two people’s lives differ so much?

At that moment, Ye Wantong also came over. She just happened to make eye contact with Lin Ting. Lin Ting didn’t recognize Su Yang and Ye Wantong, but Ye Wantong recognized her.

Ye Wantong’s face was full of surprise as she pointed at Lin Ting, her mouth agape.

Su Yang quickly walked over to her and whispered, "Let’s eat first, don’t talk."

Ye Wantong looked at Su Yang, and then at Lin Ting, pondered for a moment, and whispered, "Does Lin Dong know?"

Su Yang glanced at Lin Dong, who was happily preparing face wash water for Lin Ting, and slowly shook his head.

Ye Wantong’s expression turned even more melancholic as she whispered, "Then... how much pain he must be in..."

"So, don’t say anything," Su Yang whispered.

Ye Wantong fell silent, and after a long while, whispered, "The later he knows, the more painful it will be."

Su Yang sighed. He, of course, knew. But really, he just couldn’t bear it!

While eating at the same table as Lin Ting, Su Yang used the Soul Searching Technique to take a glance at her, and his brows immediately furrowed.

It turned out, Lin Ting had a boyfriend at school. This boyfriend was involved in the underworld and was three years older than Lin Ting.

Lin Ting deeply loved this boyfriend; it was he who led her down this path.

Because, her boyfriend said he wanted to start a business, opened a company, got into debt, and couldn’t repay the loans. Lin Ting started doing this to save her boyfriend.
