The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol, and the dim light shone on the bed.

Chen Jue was drunk and his consciousness seemed to be immersed in chaos, but the deep attachment to Chen Jia in his heart was growing wildly like a vine.

Chen Jue, under the influence of alcohol, held Chen Jia tightly with his arms like iron clamps, and was unwilling to let go no matter what.

Chen Jia struggled desperately in his embrace, her cheeks flushed with anxiety and effort. She twisted her body, trying to break free from Chen Jue's overly hot embrace.

Chen Jia finally used up all her strength and pulled her upper body out of Chen Jue's arms.

She was breathing heavily, her hair was a little messy and scattered around her cheeks. However, just when she breathed a sigh of relief and thought she was about to escape successfully, Chen Jue seemed to have some kind of instinctive feeling.

He reached out his hand in a daze, hugged Chen Jia's waist, and then exerted force suddenly, pulling her back into his arms.

Chen Jue's mumblings echoed in the silent room, his voice carrying a hint of drunken hoarseness and childish helplessness.

"Sister, don't leave me... I don't want you to go... Jue can't live without you."

He repeated these words over and over again, and every word was filled with the truest fear in his heart.

Chen Jia looked helplessly at her brother who was already in a drunken and confused state, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that Chen Jue's dependence on her actually stemmed from their difficult journey of escape.

During those dark days, they avoided war and danger along the way.

There was endless darkness all around, and the darkness was like a ferocious beast that would devour its prey at any time.

The sound of the wind at night was like the howling of evil spirits, and every sound could make their hearts rise to their throats.

During the long journey of escape, they had no one to rely on and no warm haven. Those horrific scenes left a deep shadow in his heart.

He was afraid of being alone, and the feeling of being abandoned by the world followed him everywhere. He was also afraid of the darkness, as if it contained countless unknown fears. And Chen Jia became his only support and his only light during those days.

Chen Jia exerted her strength again, trying to break free from Chen Jue's restraints. She twisted her waist, trying to find a gap in Chen Jue's arms.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and slid down her cheeks. However, Chen Jue's hands seemed to have magic, always able to catch her at the critical moment.

"Ajue, be obedient and let your sister go."

Chen Jia's voice was gentle but firm. But Chen Jue still held her tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.

Chen Jia successfully moved her body a little further away once again, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

But just when she was about to completely escape from Chen Jue's arms, Chen Jue suddenly turned over and held her tightly in his arms again.

"Sister, please don't go. I beg you. Jue can't live without you."

Chen Jue's voice was tearful, and his face was pressed tightly against Chen Jia's shoulder. The warm touch made Chen Jia's heart surge with complex emotions.

Chen Jia sighed. She knew she couldn't just let Chen Jue go on like this. She gently patted Chen Jue's back, trying to calm him down.

Chen Jue hugged Chen Jia tightly, as if he would lose the whole world if he let go.

Chen Jia looked at her unconscious but stubborn brother in her arms, feeling mixed emotions.

She sighed slightly and began to try to persuade the drunk Chen Jue.

"Ajue, listen to your sister."

Chen Jia's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze, gently brushing past Chen Jue's ears.

However, Chen Jue just closed his eyes tightly, still muttering words not to let his sister leave.

Chen Jia did not give up. She continued to speak softly, "Ajue, you know what? We have all grown up. We are no longer the helpless children on the road to escape. Those terrible days are over and will never come back."

Her eyes revealed memories of the past and determination for the future.

Chen Jia gently stroked Chen Jue's hair, just like when she soothed him to sleep when he was a child.

"Ajue, do you remember when we were on the road to escape? We were so scared and helpless at that time. But we survived, didn't we? Now we have a stable life and don't have to live in fear anymore."

Chen Jue seemed to have heard what Chen Jia said, and his body moved slightly, but he still held Chen Jia tightly. Chen Jia felt his change, and a glimmer of hope surged in her heart.

"Ajue, I promise you that fleeing will never happen again. We will always be fine and face the future together."

Chen Jia's voice was full of warmth and power, like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the darkness in Chen Jue's heart.

As Chen Jia spoke, Chen Jue's emotions seemed to gradually calm down. His arms were no longer tightly around Chen Jia as before, but slowly relaxed a little. Chen Jia was keenly aware of this change, and she continued to speak softly to comfort him.

"Ajue, you have to believe in your sister. We will always be together. We are siblings and will never be separated."

Chen Jue's breathing gradually became steady, and his hands slowly slid off Chen Jia's body.

Chen Jia gently held his hand, feeling his warmth. She knew that Chen Jue was slowly letting go of his fear and dependence.

"Ajue, I will always be by your side in the days ahead. Go to sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

Chen Jia patted Chen Jue's back gently, just like when she coaxed him to sleep when he was a child.

Tears rolled down the corners of Chen Jue's eyes, soaking the pillow.

"Sister, don't leave me..."

"Ajue, don't be afraid, sister will always be by your side."

Chen Jue seemed to have heard what Chen Jia said, and his crying gradually subsided.

In his sleep, he held Chen Jia's hand tightly, as if he had grasped the last straw.

Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that Chen Jue's feelings for her had gone beyond the normal range between siblings, but she also understood that this was because they had experienced too much suffering on the road to escape, and Chen Jue's heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

She decided to pay more attention to Chen Jue in the future and let him feel her love and care. At the same time, she also wanted to help Chen Jue learn to be independent so that he could face the difficulties in life bravely.

As the night deepened, the room became so quiet that only Chen Jue's even breathing could be heard.

Chen Jia gently covered Chen Jue with a blanket, then sat quietly beside the bed, watching over him. She looked at Chen Jue's sleeping face and sighed softly.
