The End Times as a Song

Chapter 486 Don't Talk Nonsense

Hearing Tu Shanlong's words, Yan Cai calmed herself down a bit, took a deep breath, and said, "Long'er, if you can't accept this reality, it's just that you can't get over this hurdle in your own heart. The one who should really bear the responsibility is your neglectful mother, and it has nothing to do with your brother. He is also a victim in this matter!" As Yan Cai spoke, she gently patted Tu Shanlong's shoulder to comfort her.

Tu Shanlong opened her mouth, but found herself unable to find any words to respond to Yan Cai. She silently lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Tu Shanlong had stopped speaking, Yan Cai frowned slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong? Haven't you figured out the reason yet?" After saying that, she stared at Tu Shanlong quietly, waiting for his response.

"What you said seems to make some sense...? It really has nothing to do with Tu Shanyan...? Are you saying that if anyone's to blame someone, it's my mother?"

Tu Shanlong listened for a long time and thought for a long time before finally understanding the meaning of the second half of Yan Cai's story. Tu Shanlong then asked Yan Cai another question.

"Hey...! Stop...! Don't talk nonsense, I absolutely didn't mean that, okay? What are you thinking? You need to analyze the things between you and your mother separately. So many years have passed, and although your mother may not have shown you enough love...? But think about it, hasn't your father been trying his best to make up for it? From what I know, the chief of our Tushan clan has been spoiling you a lot all these years...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Cai's face turned bright red with anger, her once large, watery eyes now bulging like saucers. She angrily interrupted Tu Shanlong's incessant chatter, continuing her frantic analysis and explanation: "Hmph! Even so, can what my father can give me be compared to what my mother can give me? They're completely different things!"

However, Tu Shanlong seemed to have entered a dead end, stubbornly sticking to his own opinion, and even retorted with self-righteousness: "Oh dear, how can you be so stupid? If you think they are all the same, wouldn't all the problems be solved?"

Hearing this, Yan Cai was practically bursting with rage. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the raging fire in her heart, and then unleashed a torrent of abuse at Tu Shanlong: "Ah...! How could you be so stupid! According to your logic, wouldn't everything in the world become incredibly simple?!"

Just then, an unexpected scene unfolded—Tu Shanlong suddenly seemed to have a revelation, slapping his forehead and exclaiming in realization, "Oh...! So that's how it is! Now that you mention it, it does seem to make some sense...! Well then, this young master will believe you this once."

"Of course! Is there even a question? Who am I, Yan Cai? This little thing is nothing to me..." Yan Cai elegantly placed her hands on her chest, confidently raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing unparalleled confidence, and a faint smile on her lips as she softly said, "That's for sure! Trust me, you won't go wrong."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shanlong, who had been teary-eyed and pitiful, seemed to be suddenly infused with a powerful force. He quickly raised his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and replied in a slightly trembling but firm voice:

"Yes, then why am I still crying! I can't be so weak anymore!" she said, suppressing her sadness and grievances, trying to pull herself together and starting to tidy her somewhat disheveled appearance.
