57: Chapter 57 The Girl's Diary

Su Chen suppressed the sorrow in his heart, scrolling through the screen with his phone in hand.

The chat history between the girl and the File Transfer Assistant was very, very long.

It was written in a diary format.

This actually wasn't surprising.

Many people, especially thin-skinned girls,

liked to use the File Transfer Assistant as their own personal venting space.

As he read, a gentle and nostalgic smile appeared at the corners of Su Chen's mouth.

"A diary spanning nearly ten years? This certainly fits your style."

"I wonder what's inside, and if I have a part to play in it?"

...

[Year One, March 3rd, a beautiful spring day.]

[Today, the teacher at the orphanage told me that I'm finally being adopted. I'm so happy.]

[The old lady adopting me is named Su; she looks very kind and gentle.]

[But the fly in the ointment is that she has an annoying boy at home named Su Chen, who is a year older than me.]

[He's actually quite handsome, but his personality is really not great!]

[The first time I walked through the door, he just glanced at me, snorted, and went back to his room.]

[So rude.]

[For dinner, we had stir-fried pork with garlic scapes. I finally managed to grab a piece of garlic scape with my chopsticks, but his chopsticks were like lightning—whoosh—and he snatched away all my favorite garlic scapes.]

[I was so angry I cried on the spot, but he just sat there snickering.]

[Big meanie, pest, I hate him to death!]

...

[Year Two, July 11th, cloudless sky.]

[When I'm bathing, I always feel like there's a shadow by the crack of the door.]

[This time, I pretended to rinse myself and then suddenly yanked the door open.]

[Sure enough, it was that idiot Su Chen, crouching there, waiting to prank me.]

[He was so startled he fell backward, his nose hitting the doorframe. Blood started gushing out. He deserved it.]

[Hmph! Let's see if he dares to bully me again!]

[Still, seeing him clutching his nose and howling later... it looked like it really hurt.]

[He looked so pitiful, maybe... he's not that annoying?]

[Just a little bit.]

...

[Year Three, May 5th, overcast.]

[On the way home from school, a few thugs blocked my path and said some disgusting things.]

[I was terrified, my mind went blank.]

[Then Su Chen rushed out from nowhere like a little leopard and got into a fight with them.]

[Although he ended up injured with a bruise near his eye, he managed to drive them all away.]

[He grabbed my hand and ran home; his palm was all sweaty.]

[He even said something about waiting to walk home with me from now on, so an idiot like me wouldn't get bullied.]

[Who wants you to wait, you idiot!]

[But his back as he stood in front of me... it seemed quite tall.]

...

[Year Four, June 18th, sunset glow across the sky.]

[The school organized a field trip, and different grades were on different buses.]

[I secretly saw the bus assignment list; my class and his class were actually on the same bus.]

[I dawdled until I was the last one to board, and sure enough, I saw the seat next to him was empty.]

[I pretended to sit there casually. He glanced at me, said nothing, and handed me a bottle of water.]

[He didn't say a single word the whole way.]

[But my heart was beating so fast, I could see myself grinning like a fool in the bus window.]

[Hmph, how pathetic of me.]

...

[Year Five, August 30th, clear after the rain.]

[After starting high school, we were both assigned to the same elite class.]

[But this brother of mine is really getting more and more dazzling.]

[Not only is he handsome and good at studying, but he's also quite popular with the opposite sex.]

[Luckily, this young lady isn't bad either; I've received a whole basket of love letters, hmph.]

[But seeing him chatting with other girls still makes me feel a bit off inside.]

[One day, he half-jokingly asked me why so many people were chasing me and why I rejected them all, wondering if it was to save face for him as my brother.]

[I was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling.]

["Because of you? Don't flatter yourself. You haven't dated anyone either, is that because of me?"]

[After saying that, I rushed back to my room, feeling like my face was hot enough to fry an egg.]

...

[Year Six, March 30th, clear breeze and bright moon.]

[The classes were split between humanities and sciences. Brother actually chose humanities, while I didn't want to memorize anything, so I chose sciences.]

[Since the split, aside from going to school and coming home, the time I spend with him in the classroom has become shorter and shorter.]

[I used the lame excuse of "not being able to memorize vocabulary" to drag him to the library with me on weekends.]

[He's so serious when explaining problems; his eyelashes are long, and his voice is low.]

[I didn't listen to a single thing; I was too busy staring at his profile.]

[He noticed and lightly tapped my forehead with his pen.]

["Su Wanyue, pay attention!"]

[Sigh... if only it could always be like this.]

...

[Year Seven, April 15th, sunny.]

[I ran an 800-meter race in PE and fainted on the playground.]

[After waking up, I found that I seemed to be able to see things that others couldn't.]

[Some people wearing strange clothes came to see me, saying that I might have awakened a very rare mental superpower.]

[A superpower? Like the ones on TV?]

[If I become powerful, will I be able to stand by his side and protect... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, prank him?]

...

[Year Eight, July 12th, full moon.]

[The Gaokao is over, finally I can relax.]

[However, Brother has been secretly going to the hospital alone lately and likes to ask me strange questions.]

["Little Wanyue, if Brother died, what would you do?"]

[He covered his mouth with his phone when he asked, his face full of smiles.]

["Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, what nonsense are you talking about?"]

["I'm just joking~"]

["If I really died, you'd definitely miss me so much you'd want to cry."]

["What are you looking at? Why aren't you saying anything?"]

[He always loves to say that everything is fine here.]

[If my Mental Power couldn't detect that his internal organs were filled with the aura of being "broken," I might have actually believed him.]

...

[Year Eight, December 17th, heavy snow.]

[I secretly saw his diagnosis report.]

[Late-stage cancer.]

[Metastasized to several places.]

[The doctor said he might not make it to spring.]

[The world collapsed.]

[No! Absolutely not!]

[Brother cannot die.]

[I remember when my superpower awakened, my mentor once mentioned it.]

[There is an extremely dangerous forbidden technique that can transfer part of a person's negative status (like illness) to the caster, but the success rate is extremely low and the cost is immense, almost equivalent to suicide.]

[I believe my mentor has relevant records in her archive room; I must convince her no matter what.]

[I'm going to try.]

[Using my awakened Mental Power, using my everything.]

[Even if it only buys him a sliver of life.]

...

[Year Nine, the sixth day of the first lunar month, starry sky.]

The second chapter is stuck on shenhe, I'll check again tomorrow morning.
