Chapter 640 The past's ending for all

640  The past's ending for all

Jun slightly trembled with his aching knees and thighs towards, sighing numerous times. His part of facing Nana's punishment just got over, but he worried about his brother. He insisted on continuing to kneel beside Jin until the two extra hours were done too so that they could leave together, but he vehemently disagreed.

"No means no, Bro. I am not a child to sulk and get afraid of the dark like before," Jin snorted.

The twins laughed. "Aww you still remember that day we locked you up in the room with no lights? That was entertaining~"

"Shut up!"

"And as always, Jun is a softie~"

Jun barked. "I am not a softie. How about you offer to stay back too as good elder brothers?"

Nian scoffed. "As if! I know we act like idiots sometimes but we are not THAT much of an idiots to willingly extend our punishment time for the sake of our little brother."

Jian said, "It was Jin's fault in the first place to act all proud, so let him suffer. You baby him too much, Jun-cute~"

They said as they stood on their feet, yelping and gasping with pain. "Ow, ow, ow, ow…"

Jun's gaze blackened further. "Stop calling me that!"

"Never~"

Nian chuckled as he rubbed his painful knee. "If Jin thought that Mom would spare him because he is the youngest sibling then he is wrong. The only person being doted upon in this family is our dearest sister, Nuo."

Jin clicked his tongue. "...She stole my role," he mumbled.

A voice filled with grievance echoed behind them. "Yes, I am the one doted upon the most in this family except my brothers!"

The twins beamed upon seeing Nuo and jumped to hug her, but she ruthlessly kicked them away. "Don't act so chummy! You all ganged up against me and Mom!"

Nuo's gaze glinted with complaint and hostility as she narrowed her eyes at Jun. "You are very mean, Bro."

Jun pursed his lips and sincerely apologized. "I am sorry, Nuo to keep you in the dark."

"Me too, Sis," Jin hung his head low.

Seeing their sulking faces, Nuo couldn't be any more harsh to them. She hugged them and patted their heads. "Oof! It's alright. You two have struggled and fought in your own ways. I just want to say that I am so proud of you two," she mumbled, "But I would have felt better if you would have let me support you in your difficult times. You know, I am super mad at Dad for kicking Bro Jun out of the family! Hmph, that's why I am not talking to him anymore"

That's why Dad looks double dead these days, Jin wondered.

The twins clutched their chest as if an arrow pierced right through their hearts. "Nuo…our dearest and sweetest sister…why did you kick us but hugged them!? Why this injustice!"

Nuo shot them a deadly glare. "You two hid the truth from me too!"

"So did they!"

"But they are genuinely guilty about it!"

"We are guilty too!"

"It surely doesn't look like that!"

Nuo turned her head away and spared them no further attention, breaking their fragile hearts.

Her brown irises brightened as she looked back at Jun and Jin. "I am so happy that you got a second chance at life. At the same time, it's so mysterious too, isn't it? I cannot believe that something like rebirth happens in real life too! Oh, I also know about the golden clock! It lets you see the past, right?"

"At least that's what happened to us," Jun said, scratching his temple. "But we don't fully understand the phenomenon."

"It must be scary, but the golden clock must look so beautiful too, right?"

Jun smiled. "Aside from the confusing and mystical experiences we had, it was truly a beautiful sight to behold. It made me realize that there are so, so many things that we as humans cannot see and don't know about and would never come to understand them either. I am simply grateful for our rebirth."

Her gaze softened. Then she asked as she wondered, "Oh then did you perhaps also get to see how it all ended in the past? Like what happened after you, Jun and Mom…" her expression turned somber again as her eyes teared up.

The twins' ears perked at that question too.

A sigh escaped his lips. "Unfortunately, I didn't. I mean I saw some bits and parts here and there, but I never reached the conclusion. What happened to Dad and the family, what happened to Zhan Yahui…I never got to see that."

"Oh…"

"It all ended well for everyone."

Suddenly, Jin spoke with a soft and quiet voice.

Jun blinked and stared at him, confused. "What?"

Jin looked at his siblings, their expressions filled with question marks. A gentle smile lifted his lips. "It all ended well. Surely, it was dark and gloomy in the beginning. But everybody found their happiness eventually. Zhan Yahui and Hou Lin were punished and killed by Dad five years later. What we always thought that she won was wrong. Dad gave us justice in the end. Bro Jian and Sis Leina got back together and so did Sis Nuo and Bro Siying. You had very cute children too~"

Jian and Nuo felt their breaths stuck in their throats.

"Really…?"

"Yes."

The two weren't sure of the emotions they were experiencing in their hearts. It was something that had happened in the past but to them right now, it felt like it was their future which made their eyes turn misty.

"Bro Nian was-"

"No, no, no! Don't tell me about my past!"

"Huh? Why not?" Jin asked, dumbfounded.

"Because Xing Bi was…no more by then. I don't want to hear if I married another woman in the end and spent my life with her. There is only my dearest Xing Bi in my heart! I don't want to hear about any other woman!"

He even tightly shut his ears with his palms to express how much he resisted.

"Open your ears, Bro-"

"No, no! I am not hearing anything! It's only Xing Bi for me!" nov?dot?\o\?

Jin's brows twitched. "Listen to me-"

"La La La La La Laaaaaaaaaaaa…"

"..."

"Oh shut it! Your sorry ass remained single till the end so rejoice!" Jin screamed.

"Ah?" Nian slowly opened his ears and blinked at him. "You just said…"

He was exasperated. "I just said that you chose to be single till the end. Instead of getting married, you were happy to raise your nieces and nephews for the rest of your life. Don't worry, Bro. There was no other woman you got married to or had children with."

A waterfall of tears escaped his eyes. "R-Really, Jin? Are you telling the truth? Because if you aren't, then I will feed you to the sharks."

"Get lost!"
