Chapter 36 Sisters
She jumped from a tall building.

Stretching his arms, like a bird pursuing freedom.

"boom!"

An Xianyuan stared at the splashes of scarlet not far from the window, in a daze.

"Why don't you eat?" The man sitting opposite was also looking out of the window, but the movements of his hands and mouth never stopped.

She couldn't help frowning at the loud clatter of bowls and chopsticks.

"Your appetite is quite good, Zhang Xian'an." She turned her head to see the man devouring, her words were sarcasm.

"I think it's a good meal." Zhang Xian'an withdrew his gaze from the window, lowered his head and stirred the mapo tofu in the bowl.

The pure white spoon confused the boundaries between red and white. He opened his mouth wide, held it gently with his hand, and slowly sent it into his mouth.

"I'm a little sick to my stomach..."

An Xianyuan spoke softly, still staring out the window at the woman's corpse shattered on the cold ground.

Red and white are intertwined on the ground, mixed with a few strands of blue-green long hair.

"My head is blooming, why are you still staring at it?"

He spoke vaguely, and a little white stained with red accidentally overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"what……"

She finally retracted her gaze, let out a long sigh, her tense back relaxed, and she fell towards the soft seat back.

"Experimental subject, do you have it?"

As he asked, he reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin on the table.

An Xianyuan rubbed her brows, which were a little swollen and sore, but did not answer.

"It seems that there is not?" He looked at the tired woman, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing his white teeth, like a man-eating ghost.

"Can you stop for a day?" she asked back, frowning.

The smile on the man's face made her sick.

"Miss An, you can't resist me." He knocked on the table, and the smile on his face became more ferocious.

An Xianyuan lowered her head and slowly ate the first bite of dinner tonight, without saying a word.

Zhang Xian'an nodded in satisfaction, got up and left his seat, and sat next to the woman.

"leave me alone……"

"Look, that little mouse is a good experimental material."

Zhang Xian'an ignored the woman's cold warning, gently grabbed her hair, and let her head look in the direction of his line of sight.

Under the neon lights at night, a tightly wrapped little girl was squatting by the trash can, munching on some dirty food.

"You are such a...beast!" She looked at the poor little girl with pity, while resisting the frivolity of the big hands beside her.

"Ha! Thanks for the compliment!"

Regardless of her struggle, he left a deep hickey on that beautiful face with all his strength.

"Okay, you know what to do..." He whispered into An Xianyuan's ear word by word, "Go and bring her here..."

He opened his mouth lightly, and gave the final order.

An Xianyuan gave up struggling and slumped on the seat.

"it is good……"

she answered softly.

"Hello……"

Laura held the unfinished food tightly in her small hands, raised her head, and stared warily at the mature woman who greeted her.

Another rich guy who is bored.

Laura thought, still squatting on the ground, protecting the food in her hands.

"Hello, what's the matter?" She asked, her voice hoarse and unpleasant because she hadn't drank water for several days.

She didn't choose to turn around and run away rashly.

Past experience tells her that if she rashly rejects the extravagant "kindness" of the rich, she will only make the other party angry and get beaten up.

I just need to squat on the ground obediently, be an obedient pet, and wait for the charity quietly.

Only in this way can we survive.

An Xianyuan pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the poor little girl in front of her.

"Is today... your birthday?" She asked softly.

"Big sister... how do you know?"

Laura asked timidly back.

I heard that only criminals will be known personal information.

Have you sinned yourself?

"Sister, I...have a prosthetic eye, which can scan your basic personal information, such as birthday, gender, name, etc..."

An Xianyuan took a few steps forward, bent down, and took advantage of the little girl's daze, hugged the dirty girl without hesitation.

"Sister?" Laura frowned awkwardly, trying to get out of her warm embrace cautiously.

The little girl was worried, worried that the dirty spots on her padded jacket would rub off on the big sister's expensive clothes.

"Just call me Sister Xianyuan..." An Xianyuan saw through the little girl's thoughts, and hugged the trembling petite body even harder.

"My name is Laura..." Laura worried that her struggle would be annoying, so she could only lower her head helplessly and said softly.

"Sister celebrates your birthday, okay?"

"why?"

An Xianyuan opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, not knowing how to answer.

"Am... am I... going to die?"

The girl in her arms stopped trembling, and raised her head, with ripples in her emerald green eyes.

She watched her eldest sister quietly, and asked softly every word.

"It will not happen……"

An Xianyuan gently stroked Laura's little face covered with scars, and also answered word by word.

"Then please sister Xianyuan take me away..."

As if seeing An Xianyuan's embarrassment, Laura lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

All struggle and resistance are futile, she can only wait quietly for the end to come.

"...Let's go, my sister will take you there to celebrate your birthday!" An Xianyuan seemed to be recalling her dead sister, her heart was throbbing, and she would burst out with the most fiery emotions at any time.

She wanted to just drag the little girl away, leave Night City, and flee to the ends of the earth.

It's a pity that the man's cold eyes are always following her.

Not a shred of hope of success.

Zhang's traitor has only one way to die.

An Xianyuan sighed, held the little girl's dirty hand tightly, and walked towards the mall.

"Sister Xianyuan? Where are we going?" Even though she had accepted her fate, the little girl still looked around anxiously.

"Go to the mall to dress you up beautifully...and your face...my sister will also find someone to heal you."

She held Laura's small hand, just like she held her dependent sister when she was a child.

"Zhang Xian'an... I beg you, at least today..."

After leaving the area that the man had divided in advance, the phone call of Suo Ming came immediately.

For the first time she made a humble plea to the beast before he opened his mouth to growl.

"The price...you know..." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a few frivolous laughs.

"it is good."

"Just for a little girl who picks up trash and eats it? Are you going to sacrifice your chastity and dignity?" Zhang Xian'an said quietly.

He suddenly realized that he had never really known her.

"I just hope that I'm worth enough to be worthy of your high hand, Mr. Zhang..." she murmured, and hung up the phone voluntarily.

"Sister Xianyuan?" Laura tugged at the warm hand that she had been holding.

"what happened?"

"Sister...why are you crying?"

"Crying? No... My sister just has a little pain in her eyes."

"elder sister……"

Laura opened her mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

Under the moonlight, the two girls, one big and one small, were relatively speechless, but held each other's hands even harder.

The ending may have been doomed.

But at least they can choose to be decent.
