Yiling, you Whats the matter? Jian Yujie asked. His voice came out with great difficulty.
The surveillance video. Jian Yiling spoke.
What?
The surveillance video. I have a copy of it. You dont need to feel sad.
You You mean that video You
Jian Yujie couldnt believe what he was hearing. Yiling had the surveillance video he had seen last night?
Then didnt that mean she had the evidence to prove her innocence already?
And furthermore, it appeared as though she knew that he had seen the surveillance video already?
You Do you know that Ive seen the video already?
Mhmm. Jian Yiling nodded.
Im so sorry Jian Yujies eyes started to turn red, I didnt protect you Im not worthy to be your brother.
You are. Jian Yiling responded.
Jian Yujie lowered his head before he started speaking again: Yiling, you can choose to hate me. I learned about the truth. However, I chose to hide it. The moment I made that decision, I was no longer worthy of being your brother.
Jian Yujie knew that his choice was despicable.
He also knew that he was a terrible person for making such a decision.
However, he still had made that decision.
Its fine, Jian Yiling replied.
There was no hesitation in her response. She spoke in a simple and straightforward manner.
Jian Yujie couldnt help but be stunned: Yiling You
If youre not sad, Ill forgive you.
Jian Yiling continued to speak in a simple and firm tone.
All of a sudden, Jian Yujies heart felt as though it had gotten struck by a blunt object.
It was heavy and painful. However, after the pain, he felt that there was fresh blood flowing through it again.
Jian Yiling paused for a moment. It appeared as though she still had something to say.
She opened her mouth but the words that came out sounded unfamiliar and out of practice to her: Youre my brother.
The word brother slowly came out of Jian Yilings mouth.
This was the first time Jian Yiling had ever called someone brother.
The word brother hit Jian Yujie like a truck. He couldnt control his tears any longer.
Once again, he looked at Jian Yilings fair face and her bright eyes
The wall in his heart that he had just built last night had collapsed into ruins
This was his sister. This was his beloved sister. This was his sister that trusted him
She was the sister that he wanted to take care of and love for the rest of his life
Jian Yujie started to laugh. He laughed like a fool.
His laughter broke the haze that had enveloped him.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he laughed.
As the tears rolled down his face, he wiped them away with his arms.
It felt as though he had freed himself from his heavy shackles. Yiling, Ill go back and retrieve the video for you immediately. Wait for me. Ill show everyone the surveillance video!
Maybe it wasnt the right choice to betray his mother. Maybe his decision would destroy his family.
However, he had no right to hide the truth.
He didnt want to hurt his sister nor his mother. However, his mother had done the wrong thing!
His sister had chosen to forgive him. She decided to believe in him. He couldnt let her down again.
If he showed everyone the video, that would prove his sisters innocence. Then, he would go and beg his grandfather and the rest of the family to forgive his mother.
He would do whatever was needed of him.
All of that struggle. The pain and suffering. The walls that he had built up had crumbled away under the unreserved trust of his beloved sister.
Jian Yiling grabbed at Jian Yujie once again, Theres no need. Ill take care of it.
Her young and soft voice was full of strength.
Jian Yujie shook his head, No. Its not you who did something wrong. Its us. We should make it up to you. Thats why I should go.
Jian Yiling replied in a simple and concise way, Ill deal with it.
After she finished speaking to her cousin, Jian Yiling turned around and walked towards the entrance of the school.
After being stunned for a moment, Jian Yujie caught up to Jian Yiling and stopped her.
