Late at night, the Lin household returned to silence. The parents had fallen asleep early due to travel fatigue, and behind the partition wall, only faint breathing sounds remained.
Yu An lay on the bed, his mind filled with Yu Han's trembling body in the dark room. He couldn't sleep; once that "possession" addiction was triggered, it could never be quelled again.
At that moment, the doorknob emitted a faint turning sound.
A figure slipped inside. Under the thin moonlight, Yu An saw the familiar gray home T-shirt and the long, loose hair.
"Sis?" Yu An sat up, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a trace of lingering desire.
The other person didn't answer but knelt directly by the bed and threw herself into his arms. That familiar soap scent rushed to his nose, and Yu An instinctively embraced her, his palms roaming over her back, trying to find that matching warmth.
"I'm so scared... An, we've really gone crazy..." The girl in his arms muffled her voice against his chest, with a slight sob.
Yu An's heart softened. He lowered his head to kiss her hair whorl, his tone gentle to the point of pathology: "Don't be afraid. We look the same; we were meant to be together. Besides me, no one else in this world is worthy of you."
He lifted her chin, trying to find in the darkness those eyes that made him sink.
However, when the clouds parted and moonlight poured through the window, Yu An's hand froze.
The girl in his arms was smiling at him.
It was Yu Xi. She was wearing Yu Han's clothes, sprayed with Yu Han's most commonly used soap mist, and even imitated the nasal tone of crying to perfection. But at this moment, her eyes held none of Yu Han's struggle and shame—only a near-masochistic fervor.
"An, look, I can do it well too, right?" Yu Xi leaned close to his ear, whispering softly, her fingertips slowly tracing across Yu An's stunned face. "Since our souls are the same, why can't it be me?"
"You..." Yu An abruptly tried to push her away.
"Don't push me away." Yu Xi clung tightly to his neck with startling force, her voice carrying a destructive plea. "If you push me away, I'll tell Mom and Dad. I'll tell the whole school what you did to Big Sis. An, I don't want much—just a little share... even a tiny bit is fine."
Yu An looked at the face before him that was identical to both Yu Han's and his own, feeling an unprecedented fear.
This was no longer a secret between two people—it was three souls collectively drowning.
Yu An: Yu Xi... You... you... what... what did you say...
At this moment, Yu An was so shocked he couldn't speak!
Yu Xi suddenly burst out laughing: "I was just joking! Look how scared you got! How could I possibly like a blockhead like you! But... I already know your secret with Big Sis. Once I figure out what you'll use to keep my mouth shut, I'll tell you!"
Yu Xi didn't forget to flash Yu An her playful and witty eyes.
And at this moment, Yu Han witnessed everything from the doorway.
