Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 41 She's not as bad as she seems.

This reaction made Bai Yanci think that Wen Li was up to her old tricks again, which was why Zhu Yan had this attitude.

A mocking smile appeared on Bai Yanci's beautiful face as she stared at the outside of the cave and said, "I knew she wouldn't stay quiet for long."

"They say it's hard to change one's nature, and Wen Li has always been a treacherous and vicious female, that much is certain..."

Bai Yanci's words are getting increasingly harsh.

Zhu Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he interrupted:

"do not talk."

Bai Yanci stopped speaking abruptly and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zhu Yan lowered her head, her fingertips twirling together, and said softly, "She's not as bad as you say... Besides, she should know she was wrong..."

Bai Yanci didn't speak, but looked at Zhu Yan with a slightly frightened expression.

Zhu Yan looked up at Bai Yanci when she didn't get a response.

Seeing him looking at her like that made her feel uneasy.

"W-What are you doing!" Zhu Yan unconsciously raised her voice.

Bai Yanci said, "I don't care who you are, get off Zhu Yan right now!"

Zhu Yan suddenly stood up, "I am Zhu Yan!"

Bai Yanci rubbed his forehead and sighed heavily. "Zhu Yan, have you been bewitched too? Have you forgotten how she treated you?"

How can a person not remember a bad thing?
Not long after, Zhu Yan started speaking up for Wen Li.

Has he forgotten that Wen Li drugged him not long ago?

Bai Yanci felt exhausted; he couldn't carry the load anymore, he really couldn't.

"Of course I remember... but she... Wen Li has changed..."

Zhu Yan wanted to argue further, but Bai Yanci immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't talk to me!"

He now feels a sense of helplessness, as if his friends and people he dislikes have become good friends.

The mood is very complicated.

In short, I don't want to talk to Bai Yanci, not at all.

An awkward silence fell between the two.

At that moment, the curtain was lifted, and Xin Yuan, soaking wet, walked in.

"Brother Yanci, Brother Zhuyan!"

He greeted the two of them.

Bai Yanci doesn't want to talk to Zhu Yan right now, but Xin Yuan is different.

"Xin Yuan, what brings you here too?" Bai Yanci asked.

“I’ve come to see Brother Zhu Yan,” Xin Yuan said.

He looked in Zhu Yan's direction and found Zhu Yan sitting on a wooden chair, gazing melancholically out the window.

"Brother Zhu Yan, are you alright?"

Xin Yuan walked up to Zhu Yan in a few steps and asked in a low voice.

Bai Yanci watched the two of them silently.

It's really weird that two uninvited guests suddenly showed up at my house.

Zhu Yan pursed her lips. "Not bad. What brings you here?"

Xin Yuan said, "I'm worried about you."

Zhu Yan chuckled, "What could I possibly worry about?"

Xin Yuan moved his lips, but didn't know how to answer.

He was worried that Zhu Yan would cause trouble because he was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that he would just come to Bai Yanci's place.

Zhu Yan noticed his expression and suddenly asked, "Did she send you?"

He didn't seem to care on the surface, but Zhu Yan's ears perked up secretly.

Xin Yuan answered honestly, "No, I came here by myself."

"Hehe." Zhu Yan laughed in exasperation.

He took a deep breath and crossed his arms.

He was sitting, but his right leg kept stomping on the ground, looking quite agitated.

Didn't she say anything?

Zhu Yan was annoyed for a while, but couldn't help asking again.

She's misunderstood him to this extent, and she hasn't reacted at all?!

Not even a little bit?!
Xin Yuan still couldn't get past his conscience and honestly answered, "No."

Zhu Yanzhen's defenses crumbled.

His hands were clenched into fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged out.

Although Xin Yuan wanted to comfort him, he didn't know where to begin. Zhu Yan and Wen Li's relationship had always been strained, and he was afraid that saying something inappropriate might backfire.

Xin Yuan took a step back, retreating to Bai Yanci's side.

Bai Yanci listened to the whole thing, but he was still a little confused.

He asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Xin Yuan didn't intend to hide anything from Bai Yanci, and said succinctly: "Well... Brother Zhu Yan gave Wen Li something, but Wen Li didn't believe it was from Brother Zhu Yan, and then Brother Zhu Yan did this."

Bai Yanci doubted that he had misheard.

Xin Yuan spoke too fast, causing him to misunderstand the content.

Bai Yanci pulled Xin Yuan back: "Say it again."

Xin Yuan: "I said that Zhu Yan gave Wen Li a gift, but Wen Li didn't believe it was from him."

Bai Yanci didn't even know which one to be shocked about.

Was it shocking that Zhu Yan would give something to Wen Li?

Was Zhu Yan shocked that Wen Li was angry because she didn't believe him?
Head hurts.

Bai Yanci silently lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

How could so many explosive things have happened without his notice?

Xin Yuan looked at his two older brothers blankly.

One of them sat in a chair, puffing up in anger.

One of them was lying in bed pretending to be dead.

Xin Yuan hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to talk to Bai Yanci.

He happened to have something to ask him.

"Brother Yanci, I have something to ask you." Xin Yuan tugged at Bai Yanci's sleeve.

Bai Yanci opened his eyes, his gaze empty. "Tell me."

Xin Yuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother, what is 'like'?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Yanci immediately sat up and stared at Xin Yuan for a long time.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Xin Yuan scratched his hair, looking troubled, and said, "I just want to know."

I want to know what it really means to like someone.

"Do you have someone you like?" Bai Yanci pressed.

Xin Yuan said blankly, "I don't know."

"Hmm... cough." Bai Yanci thought about it carefully, "Let's put it this way, your heart will race when you see her."

Xin Yuan silently noted it down—his heart was racing.

"Is there anything else?" Xin Yuan asked.

Bai Yanci thought for a moment, "Seeing her makes me happy, and I want to be with her."

Xin Yuan suddenly realized that it was indeed the right thing to ask Bai Yanci about this matter; Brother Yanci was truly knowledgeable and experienced.

"Yanci-ge, you're amazing! How do you know so much? Do you have someone you like?"

Xin Yuan asked a series of questions.

Bai Yanci was flattered by the praise and nodded modestly.

Actually, no, he only heard about it from others.

However, it was more than enough to deal with Xin Yuan.

Just as Bai Yanci finished explaining, the rain gradually stopped.

Bai Yanci didn't want to see Zhu Yan, this guy who had "betrayed" him, anymore, so he started to kick him out.

"The rain has stopped, you can go now."

"I'll return the clothes to you later," Zhu Yan said, then turned and left.

The rain outside had indeed stopped, and Zhu Yan headed towards his cave first.

It wasn't too late yet, and he thought he could go to the river to catch some fish later.

Upon returning to the cave entrance, Zhu Yan noticed a figure standing there.

Zhu Yan narrowed his eyes. It looked like a female. The other person was standing with her back to him, and her long hair was tied up with straw rope.

As he got closer, he realized it was Wen Li.

The other person looked over and gave him an unnatural smile.

"That... Zhu Yan!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yan's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

Then it accelerates uncontrollably.
