Chapter 1046

Yukino pursed her lips; being intelligent, it wasn't that she hadn't noticed her sister's attitude toward her and Lin Ye's relationship.

Even if she occasionally teased them about being together early in the past, she could still hear the substance of the matter.

Especially her sister's behavior of using Lin Ye's body this morning made her even more certain of her thoughts.

And now, her sister's straightforward statement further indicated her sister's attitude.

"Why?"

Yukino was also very simple, directly asking for the reason.

She wanted to know why her sister would have such thoughts.

Was Lin Ye not good to the Yukinoshita family?

Why would her sister, who was similar to their mother and prioritized family interests, suggest such a thing?

She was very curious.

"Yukino, I am doing this for your own good."

"Sister, the good you do for me, I know, but is this 'good' really good in my eyes?"

She didn't want her sister to interfere with her choices.

Lin Ye had many problems, but he also had many advantages.

She was willing to continue communicating and interacting with Lin Ye, continue dating, and then decide whether to truly stay together and enter the halls of marriage in the future.

"You will die."

Haruno closed her eyes and said slowly.

"Uh?"

Die? What will die?

Will I die, or will Lin Ye die?

"Sister, please speak clearly."

"Lin Ye could die at any moment, do you understand? The probability of him encountering an accident and dying is extremely high. He is fine today, but maybe he will be dead tomorrow. Yukino, I am not fear-mongering, and I don't wish for him to die, but this is the situation he is currently facing."

Haruno's serious expression made Yukino have to take it seriously as well.

"Sister, please elaborate."

She did not question it; she chose to believe and understand more.

If Lin Ye was truly often in a dangerous environment, then what she needed to do was persuade Lin Ye to withdraw.

And now, she had the qualification and stance to persuade him; she was Lin Ye's girlfriend, Lin Ye's fiancée, and had the qualification to let Lin Ye withdraw and return to a stable and quiet daily life.

"Some things cannot be said; it would also drag you into danger."

"Please tell me what can be said, Sister."

Yukino said directly, even though she didn't understand why some things couldn't be said and would drag her into danger.

"You also know he is very special now, having many abilities, right!"

"Yes."

Besides swapping bodies, there was perspective, hypnosis; Yukino was certain Lin Ye possessed even more mysterious abilities.

And now, given her sister's attitude, she felt her sister likely knew where Lin Ye's abilities came from.

"And the acquisition of these abilities is not without cost and risk. He needs to face very terrifying things, personally facing those very dangerous existences that could die at any moment."

"He has lived until now, but that doesn't mean he can always live on. I hope he can always live and return, but this is too difficult."

Haruno held confidence, but not complete confidence.

And Yukino thought of some rumors circulating on the internet and at school.

Could it be...

"Don't say it."

Haruno immediately stopped her sister, "I don't know if you guessed right, Yukino, but don't say it. It is very dangerous. Once spoken, the probability of you being noticed will increase, and by then, you will need to face those dangers."

"And those dangers, for ordinary people, are nine deaths and one life."

Yukino had no concept, but her sister's emotion made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

Her sister truly did not wish for anything to happen to her.

"Is Sister not afraid?"

"Fear is useless. I haven't been dragged in yet, so I am temporarily safe."

"What about Lin-kun!"

"..."

Haruno was silent; she didn't know if Lin Ye was afraid, but given Lin Ye's calm and natural reaction after returning, she felt Lin Ye shouldn't be afraid.

"He shouldn't be afraid."

"Is the family so proactive in contacting Lin-kun also because of this reason? Because of Lin-kun's specialness."

Haruno didn't expect Yukino to talk about this sensitive issue so directly.

But since Yukino asked, she chose to speak directly.

"Yes, the Yukinoshita family does not want to be thrown out by the waves of the era. The future will inevitably be a new era of change, and Lin-kun is the ticket for our family to board the ship moving forward into the new era. We must grasp it firmly."

So that was it.

Yukino understood; she finally understood.

No wonder her mother suggested she be with Lin Ye back then; that wasn't some youthful love, but because they had held high expectations for Lin Ye from the beginning.

From the start, in her mother's eyes, Lin Ye was related to the family's future.

And as the youngest daughter, she was naturally the best candidate to win over Lin Ye and bind him.

She was in the same class as Lin Ye, and Lin Ye had once confessed to her, holding high favor for her.

She was absolutely the most suitable candidate.

At this moment, Yukino's mood was heavy.

Haruno watched her sister Yukino's reaction; she could understand her sister's mood at this moment,

but this was reality.

"The family holds expectations for you. Of course, Yukino, you must also know that Mother did not treat you as a pure tool for interests; she also respects your wishes. If you feel it is not suitable, Mother will not force you to do things you are unwilling to do."

Haruno began to explain, "At the time, it was also your own willingness to establish a quasi-fiancé relationship with Lin Ye."

Yes, this was her own choice, Yukino did not deny it, but at the time, this choice also existed in great relation to her noticing her parents' hope for Lin Ye and her to be together.

She remembered this point very clearly.

"So why do you hope for me to break up and end the relationship with him, Sister?"

"I don't want you to be sad, one day in the future, only being able to watch your own boyfriend, your own husband, never appear before you again."

Haruno looked at her sister, "Others might not know you, but can I not know you? If you marry him and he encounters an accident in the future, you will not seek another; you will choose to live on alone."

This was Haruno's bold guess about her sister.

Her sister was simple, serious, and dedicated in love; once she chose, it was for a lifetime.

"Sister, you overestimate me."

"Whether I overestimate you, you know yourself. But regardless, I don't wish for you to be with Lin Ye. I don't want to see you looking sad in the future."

Haruno had already stood up and sat beside Yukino; she gently stroked her sister Yukino's long black hair and continued to persuade, "Listen to me once, consider it me begging you, Yukino, end the relationship with him!"

"He is not dedicated to you either, and is ambiguous with other girls. You are not his only one, so why continue with him? Your youth and life have only just begun."

Haruno tried her best, only hoping her sister could listen, even if it was just a little.

"Sister, I appreciate your good intentions."

Haruno knew immediately that Yukino had refused.

This girl truly didn't want to pull away and leave immediately.

"Tell me the reason, why are you unwilling? You wouldn't want to tell me you have already fallen in love with him, would you!"

This possibility was high, but Haruno hoped it wasn't the reason.

"I am also a daughter of the Yukinoshita family, and I must also contribute to the family."

Yukino's eyes met her sister Haruno's gaze, "Since Lin Ye is related to the family's future, then as a daughter of the family, it is time for me to make my contribution."

Haruno's heart trembled upon hearing this; her sister was going to sacrifice herself.

What a joke.

She, as the older sister, was still here; how could it be her sister's turn to sacrifice?

"Not needed."

Haruno said, her tone very firm, "Leave family matters to me. Yukino, you just pursue your own happiness."
