Little Yichen lightly clutched his abdomen. He accidentally exerted a little more force and blood gushed out.

  “Why…” He stared at little Yueyao in disbelief. He did not know why his little sister, whom he had always loved dearly, would so ruthlessly stab him all of a sudden! “Why…”


  Yue Yao looked at him, but her gaze instantly became mournful. She spoke in a childish voice, but her voice was devoid of emotions. “I’m going to kill you.”


  “Why…” Little Yichen shook his head and smiled bitterly. “No, you’re not Yueyao. Yueyao won’t do this to me. She won’t…”


  Pfft!

  Little Yichen’s body stiffened, and the muscles on his back twitched uncontrollably. He struggled to get onto his feet. As he lowered his head, another sharp dagger viciously pierced his back. He staggered and turned around unsteadily, only to come face to face with a ghastly looking Youyou.

  “Didn’t I tell you not to come home!?” Youyou yelled at him sharply, “Didn’t I tell you to scram?! Why are you back?!”


  Little Yichen looked at his brother, gritted his teeth, and started crying. Tears streamed down his face.

  He stubbornly wiped his tears and said hoarsely, “Youyou, don’t be like this!”


  “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Youyou suddenly pulled out the dagger and came closer to him. “Mu Yichen, if I kill you, Mommy will belong to me completely! I don’t have to worry about anyone taking Mommy’s love from me anymore! Without you, Mommy will only dote on me!”


  Little Yichen felt his throat constrict, and a metallic taste rose from within. He swallowed hard to suppress the bloody smell and explained, “No… I’m not trying to snatch Mommy from you! Youyou, I’m your big brother! I’m your big brother…”


  “Shut up!” The boy hollered at the top of his lungs, “You’re not my big brother! I told you to shut up; I don’t have a brother like you!”


  With that, he held the dagger tightly and approached Little Yichen!

  “No… No…” Little Yichen kept crying and begging!

  With his strength and capability, be it in the dream realm or even if he were heavily injured, he could easily overcome the weak child before him. But he couldn’t bear to. He could not bear to hurt Youyou. Even though he sustained multiple injuries, he was unwilling to hurt Youyou even a little!

  “Youyou… I’m your big brother. Don’t be like this. Open your eyes and take a good look…” Pfft! Youyou did not let up. Grabbing Little Yichen’s collar tightly with one hand, he plunged the dagger into his flesh.

  “Sob…” Little Yichen groaned. A tiny trail of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. He gripped his brother’s shoulder tightly, instinctively wanting to push him to the ground due to the excruciating pain from his almost numbed nerves. However, after a brief moment, he relaxed his grip.

  Little Yichen curled his lips helplessly. No matter what, he still could not bear to hurt his younger brother!

  “Youyou… It’s okay… you don’t remember me…” Little Yichen uttered these words with difficulty. Clenching his fists, he endured the all-consuming pain as cold sweat covered his entire back.

  One stab after another, Youyou kept plunging the dagger into his body. Little Yichen could no longer feel any pain, as if all of his nerves had gone numb.
