Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 42: The Story Brings Laughter
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin felt a headache coming on and covered his head with both hands.

That's right, that's exactly why Tang Wulin didn't want to choose either of them.

Because nowadays, every time they connect with him via video chat, apart from the relatively normal conversation, they do other things.

But once it's time for him to update, they all urge him to update and interfere with his creative process.

But the problem is, he's the author!

It's fine if you urge me to update, after all, it's your right as readers and editors.

But shouldn't the content of the story be decided by the author?
How come just any reader or editor can bully, cough cough, and interfere with him?!
Doesn't Tang Wulin have any pride?

Seemingly noticing Tang Wulin's silence, Leng Yaozhu stopped and then chuckled softly.

"What's wrong, Linlin? It seems like you have a problem with my suggestion?"

"No, I don't."

Tang Wulin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed that his little thoughts had been seen through, and responded somewhat awkwardly.

On the other side, Leng Yaozhu didn't say anything upon hearing this, but just sighed with some complicated feelings.

Then, with a hint of reminiscence, she spoke slowly.
"Little Linlin, I know that you novelists usually don't like others interfering with your story creation."

"In that case, little Linlin, in the past, it was always your older sister who read the stories you created. Today, let me tell you a story that I created."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback.

Meanwhile, Leng Yaozhu slowly picked up the photo on the table and whispered something.

"Once upon a time, there were two sisters who had relied on each other since childhood. They awakened the same martial spirit and finally, they were admitted to the same top school on the continent."

"And at school, they both fell in love with the same person, a man of unparalleled talent and extraordinary charm. The two sisters then made a pact to confess their feelings together."

"But in an unexpected turn of events, the younger sister mistakenly believed that her older sister had beaten her to it. As a result, the younger sister harbored resentment towards her older sister."

"The two had a big argument, and the younger sister stormed off. From then on, the sisters were like strangers, even enemies, with no contact whatsoever."

At this point, Leng Yaozhu stopped talking. But Tang Wulin already understood what she meant.

"Sister Leng's younger sister also left her. And it seems they've become enemies."

Recalling the day his younger sister Na'er left, Tang Wulin fell silent.

So, it turns out that Sister Tianfeng also carried the same experience as him?

Na'er's departure left him with a deep sadness that still makes him feel unwell and suffocated to this day.

The thought of Na'er being hostile towards him was something he dared not even imagine.
So, it turns out that Sister Tianfeng has been silently bearing this kind of pain all along?
Meanwhile, Leng Yaozhu poured out the old stories and heartache that had been buried in her heart for countless years, and felt a sense of relief.

All the pent-up frustration in my heart, like water in a bathtub, flowed out and disappeared at this moment.

At that moment, for the first time, she felt that the stone that had been weighing on her heart had finally become much lighter.

After a brief silence, Tang Wulin broke the silence by speaking, "Sister Leng."

"Hmm, what's wrong, Xiao Linlin?"

Tang Wulin, however, did not get angry at Leng Yaozhu's teasing.

Because he knew this was Leng Yaozhu releasing her stress. So he said softly, "It's nothing, Sister Leng. I just wanted to ask, is the little sister in your story still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was slightly taken aback, then looked at the "Black Phoenix" on the screen, who was no longer replying, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"He should still be alive, right? What's wrong, Xiao Linlin?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In his view, it's good that he's still alive; as long as he's alive, there's always hope.

In Tang Wulin's view, no matter how complicated the conflicts between relatives are, they are not enemies and can be completely resolved.

Moreover, in Tang Wulin's view, the matter between the sisters was even simpler.

The root cause of the conflict between the two is not that they have done anything unforgivable to each other.

It was simply because she was confessing her feelings to someone who hadn't yet accepted her.

Because of a confession to a stranger, he developed hatred for his family who had depended on him, grown up with him, and cared for him, and even turned against them.

He does not agree with this!
In his view, the love of family is the most selfless love.

No one is more important than your family!
That's right, Na'er, Mom, and Dad are all his most precious treasures!
It's something he'd risk his life for!
so.
"It's nothing, but since that's the case, let's write the rest of the story according to your suggestion, Sister Leng," Tang Wulin said earnestly.

On the other side, Leng Yaozhu was also slightly taken aback when she heard Tang Wulin agree.

But soon, she accepted the kindness from her younger brother, who had a stubborn temper when it came to story creation, with a hint of happiness.

However, as she felt a warmth in her heart, she couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile unique to this strange auntie.

"Thank you, Linlin. But I remember you used to really dislike me interfering with your story writing. Why the change of heart today?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin blushed slightly, but still replied with a hint of seriousness.
"It was indeed my fault before, I'm sorry, Sister Tianfeng. For certain reasons, I did take my identity as an author a little too seriously."

"But I swear I won't be so alone anymore, because Sister Leng's story made me realize something."

"The real stories should be about creating a world that brings laughter and makes up for regrets!"

"So, Sister Leng, I hereby make a promise with you that from now on, whether it is you or anyone else, we can all be like you today."

"When I'm creating a story, discuss the plot with me, and I will seriously consider all your suggestions!"

On the other side, Leng Yaozhu was also taken aback when she heard Tang Wulin's serious words.

After a long pause, she revealed a faint smile.

"I see, I understand. It seems that Linlin really cares about her older sister." She paused for a moment.

Then she changed the subject, teasingly saying, "But little Linlin, as long as the story brings me laughter, that's enough for me. After all, I don't have any regrets to make up for, so don't talk nonsense~"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin chuckled and teased, "Are you sure, Sister Leng?"

"You know, I'm planning to make up for the regrets of the female lead's older sister in the later part of the story."

"The male protagonist accepts both his younger sister and older sister at the same time, and the sisters live together harmoniously and happily ever after."
