CH 4252

“No matter what, in that situation, the one living will suffer the most.”

Little Yichen smiled sheepishly. “I’m sure you wouldn’t feel the pain if you were dead, would you? The living are the ones who carry the burden.”

Youyou was greatly stunned. After a while, he exhaled and sighed. “I didn’t expect you to be so much more mature than I thought.”

Indeed, it would be the one alive who would suffer the most, so that in this case, there was no big difference between life and death. And the greatest contrast would probably be between pain and release.

The dead would be released, surely. And the living would have to carry all the thoughts, guilt, pain, torture… Indeed, living would be far worse than being dead.

“Why do you have to think about something so serious?” Little Yichen muttered with an odd look on his face, “It’s not like we’re really going to have a ceremony like that!”

“Does telepathy really exist between twins?”

“I don’t know. At least, I do.”

Youyou’s curiosity was piqued upon hearing this. “Exactly what kind of experience is telepathy?”

“Well, it’s a bit like… Somehow, I can feel your pain and your joy. When you’re unhappy, I’ll always be the first to know. When you’re happy, I may have even more reasons than you to be happy!” The boy paused, then continued, “I didn’t believe in telepathy until such a magical thing happened to me. When I was a kid, I used to get angina for no reason. I had no idea why, but all the doctors I went to couldn’t come up with an explanation. No one knew why I had angina for no reason when I was physically fine. At the time, Daddy was worried I had a heart problem and kept looking for information on heart diseases. Actually, my heart was fine.”

“So it’s because…”

“It’s because I can feel your pain!” The boy continued, “I used to know a teacher when I was in school. He had a twin brother, too, but his brother passed away when they were in high school. I asked him once if there was really telepathy between twins. He starting crying right in front of me.”

“Why?”

“The teacher told me about his high school days. At that time, he often fought with his parents because he was rebellious. One time, they instructed him to run an errand and after that slammed the door behind them. His brother saw that he was in a bad mood and offered to run the errand instead. He agreed. And then…”

Youyou guessed the ending. “Then something happened on the way.”

“Uh huh, he fell asleep at his desk, and all of a sudden, he felt a searing pain in his heart. He didn’t know why, but that was when he realized that something had happened to his brother. So he decided to go out and look for him. He was just stepping out when he got a call from his uncle, informing him that his brother had been in a car accident and that things weren’t looking good. He cried all the way to the hospital, but all he saw was his brother’s dead body… He couldn’t get over it for years after that.”

The bond between twins is generally stronger than in ordinary kinship. This is because twins originate from the same ovum. They are part of each other, the same flesh and blood, the same spirit.

As a result, whether to Youyou or Little Yichen, they were inseparable from each other.
