Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

My younger sister Mo Zi seems to have found a safe haven recently. She frequently walks out of the sect and steps into the world that belongs to the cat people.

The cat people live a simple and harmonious life, and their smiles are pure and innocent, which can easily touch the softest part of Mo Zi's heart.

Whenever Mo Zi strolled through the streets where cat people gathered, or sat by the simple stage built specifically for them, she would unconsciously take out the guzheng, lightly touch the strings with her fingertips, and melodious music would flow out.

The sound of the guzheng echoed in the air, as if it could penetrate all worries and sorrows, allowing Mo Zi to temporarily forget the haze in his heart.

She closed her eyes and let music become a bridge for her to communicate with the world. Every note carried her emotions and thoughts, floating away into the distance.

At this moment, she is no longer the arrogant young lady, but an ordinary person who longs to be understood and accepted.

Mo Zi's heart is like a forest shrouded in fog and filled with complex emotions, deep and elusive.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, or when she was alone immersed in the melody of the guzheng, those repressed emotions would surge up like a tide, plunging her into deep conflict.

On the one hand, she longed for relief and wanted to escape the guilt she felt towards her brother.

She knew that her past willfulness might have really caused trouble for her brother, and the guilt was like a heavy stone, pressing on her and making it hard for her to breathe.

She wanted to apologize to her brother countless times, but she was afraid that her words would hurt him again or make him worry more. This dilemma made her feel extremely tormented.

On the other hand, she was afraid to face the truth, afraid that she would really become a burden to her brother.

In Mo Zi's heart, her brother has always been a strong and omnipotent person. She doesn't want to see her brother get hurt because of her own fault.

She would rather bear all the pain by herself than let her brother worry about her. This overprotective and self-sacrificing mentality towards her brother puts her in another dilemma.

At the same time, Mo Zi also developed deep doubts about himself.

She didn't understand why she had become so willful and why she couldn't control her emotions and behavior. She longed to be a better person, someone who could make her family proud, but the reality made her feel extremely frustrated and powerless.

This conflict between self-denial and self-expectation filled her heart with pain and struggle.

In such a contradiction, Mo Zi seemed to be in an endless vortex, swallowed by all kinds of complex emotions.

She tried to find some peace and comfort by playing the guzheng, but whenever the music stopped, the contradictions and pain would surge into her heart again.

She longed for someone to understand her inner world and give her guidance and support, but at the same time she was afraid that her vulnerability would be seen by others. This mentality of both longing and fear made her feel helpless and confused.

However, this tranquility did not completely dispel the troubles in Mo Zi's heart.

She vaguely felt that she seemed to be avoiding something. The guilt she felt towards her brother Mo Yun was like a huge rock, weighing on her heart, making it difficult for her to let go. Mo Zi always believed that it was because of her willfulness that she had caused trouble for her brother and made him bear unnecessary pressure and burden.

This self-blame was like an invisible chain that bound her mind and prevented her from truly flying freely.

Mo Yun naturally noticed the changes in his sister. He watched Mo Zi leave the sect again and again, and return exhausted, and his heart was filled with worry.

He realized that his sister might have a demon in her heart, a kind of indescribable distress and struggle.

He tried to communicate with Mo Zi, but every time she responded with a smile and silence. Mo Yun knew that his sister needed time to deal with her problems, but he was also worried that she would get deeper into trouble.

So, Mo Yun decided to silently support Mo Zi. He would silently guard her when she was out to ensure her safety, and would also prepare a cup of hot tea for her when she returned, silently conveying his care and warmth.

He believed that as long as the love and understanding between family members were deep enough, he would be able to help Mo Zi get out of the predicament and find his happy and confident self again.
