Elemental Light Mage

"I don't understand what you are saying." Xi Shi said, shaking his head.

Xi Yeming looked at her firmly and said slowly, "Even if you keep denying it, in fact, your words and actions have clearly revealed your true thoughts, Xi Shi."

Hearing this, Xi Shi gritted her teeth and stubbornly retorted: "This is simply nonsense! Just because I secretly learned magic and attacked you today, can you so casually conclude that I am jealous of you?"

Xi Yeming raised his head and sighed deeply, his eyes passed over Xi Shi, as if he saw every bit of the past. The time they had spent together was like a movie constantly playing in his mind.

"I'm sorry, Xi Shi." Xi Yeming suddenly said softly.

This sudden apology made Xi Shi stunned. She widened her eyes and said in confusion, "Huh?" She had no idea why Xi Yeming would say such a thing.

At this moment, Cheng Zi, who was standing nearby, could no longer suppress her anxiety. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xi Yeming's sleeve, and asked with concern: "Yeming, what are you talking about? How can this be blamed on you?"

Facing Chengzi's questioning, Xi Yeming gently moved her hand away, then took a deep breath and continued in a calm but guilty tone: "No, I must say these words. In fact, it's all my fault. If I could take better care of you, maybe you wouldn't be forced to wander outside and unable to return to your warm home for so long. It was me who was so useless that I didn't save you at the time. It was me, the evildoer, who caused everyone to become like this."

"Enough..." Xi Shi finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Xi Yeming's endless chatter. She really couldn't stand it anymore. Every word Xi Yeming said seemed to conflict with a certain desire hidden deep in her heart.

However, the current situation made Xi Shi realize clearly that she had no choice but to muster up the courage to face it all.

"You must hate me, right? You must despise me, right? If so, then attack me. I will stay here with you forever." Xi Yeming said expressionlessly, as if these words did not come from his mouth.

Xi Shi covered half of her face with her hands, trying to hide the uncontrollable dejection on her face. She widened her eyes and questioned in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about! What do you want to say?"

Facing Xi Shi's questioning, Xi Yeming simply responded: "I don't actually have much to say, I just want to sincerely express my apologies to you."

"Simple?" Xi Shi couldn't help but let out a cold and bitter laugh when he heard that. "Do you think you can get rid of me so easily like this? You are not a simple-minded person at all, Xi Yeming..."

At this moment, Xi Yeming slowly raised his head, looked at his sister calmly, and said softly: "Whether it is simple or complicated, it is no longer important, Xi Shi. The real key is whether we can correctly find the true and pure self buried deep in our hearts."

"Don't teach me here! You're not worthy!" Xi Shi grabbed Xi Yeming's collar like a possessed man, "What qualifications do you have to teach me? Have you ever truly cared about me, Chengzi, and my mother?"

Along with the uncontrolled anger came the tears streaming down the cheeks and the confession of extreme grievances.

"Why did even my mother suffer an accident? What on earth do you do for a living? You guard those high-ranking magics every day, why can't you protect my mother!"

The angry Xi Shi forgot the old brother-sister relationship and blurted out: "You are a guy who has accomplished nothing. If it weren't for your mother raising you before going to World Junction, you would have died long ago!"

The sunlight shines on everyone's face, like an old photo, symbolizing the tragic thoughts within.

Xi Yeming, who had nothing to say and was ashamed to face the enemy, silently put away his pride and self-esteem as a great magician, and expressed his regret with his expression and actions.

"When the war broke out that day, Orange and I hid in the ruins and kept avoiding those bad guys. Where were you when we needed you?"

The words of blame were like needles that pierced Xi Yeming's heart again and again. Even though Xi Yeming had experienced many life-and-death experiences and separations, he could only endure it in front of his beloved family.

"Sister, don't be like this," Chengzi held Xishi. The current situation was completely beyond her ability. "Yeming must have had some unspeakable secrets at that time."

Xi Shi became even angrier when he heard the word "unspeakable secret". "What kind of unspeakable secret is it that could make you turn a blind eye to the lives of your family members? Tell me, tell me, Xi Yeming!"

Xi Yeming could easily dodge the fist that was swung at him, but he didn't have the qualifications to dodge and let Xi Shi hit his chest.

The last punch that she threw with all her strength hit Xi Yeming's broad and strong chest like a bolt of lightning. It seemed that this punch had exhausted all her strength and anger. Xi Shi's whole body seemed to have been pulled out of her bones and muscles, and she collapsed limply. However, her hands still tightly grasped Xi Yeming's clothes and refused to let go, as if that was the only life-saving straw she could rely on in this world.

Then, Xi Shi slowly raised her head, her eyes empty and confused, like a child lost in the darkness. Then, she slowly buried her head deep in Xi Yeming's warm arms, as if she wanted to escape from the unbearable past and the cruel reality.

"Why? Why didn't you come to save us earlier that day!" Xi Shi's voice was filled with tears and trembling, which made people feel distressed. The horrible memories of being cruelly injected with drugs and turned into a monster surged into her mind like a tide, hitting her fragile mental defenses again and again. "I was really scared at that time, extremely scared, and I was expecting you to save us, but you never showed up..."

Facing Xi Shi's tearful questioning, Xi Yeming felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth with difficulty: "I'm sorry..."

At this moment, all explanations seemed so pale and powerless. Xi Yeming could only silently open his arms and hold Xi Shi tightly in his arms. Strangely, this time he did not have any resistance or resistance like he did to other women. He only felt deep guilt and self-blame towards his relatives, as well as the bond of family affection that was not based on blood ties.

At this moment, they are no longer independent individuals, but a family that depends on each other and warms each other.
