She puffed her cheeks and said, "Don't touch my head."
Shiyu Ling vigorously ruffled her hair, then withdrew his hand: "You're such a young lady. My younger siblings used to be much more understanding than you."
"...I thought Miss Shiyu only reconnected with her family after the Catastrophe of Illumination."
"How could that be?" Shiyu Ling chuckled, "I don't care about the Shiyu I have no interaction with, but those few idiots are my family. In the past, I thought escaping meant severing ties with them, but I always cared deep down."
Qin Qianbai still remembers the mixed emotions in Mr. Shiyu's voice when he talked about family. She recalled how Shiyu Ling tried to completely abandon her past identity for a long time, only to pick it up again after everything was over. Now it seems that's not the case. She admits it frankly, saying she was just avoiding it during those times.
