The boy glanced at him, about to say something, and then thought, Isn’t it so!

In any case, he felt that his status in this family was rather insignificant, and could only silently suffer any sort of bullying. Apart from his Daddy, to whom he could more or less talk back.

Whether it was Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ or Youyou, Yueyao, Lisa…

This was because he was the second oldest man in the family after his father. Of course, he had to be magnanimous. Especially when it came to Youyou and Yueyao, he had to let them have their way a bit more.

For some reason, when Little Yichen shot him an innocent look, the boy burst out laughing.

“Big Brother, am I bullying you too much? Sometimes I feel like you’ve become a punching bag.” Little Yichen’s eyelids twitched at that. He could not process Youyou’s sudden change of att.i.tude.

“Uh…”

“Alright, alright. I’ll stop bullying you. I wouldn’t want you to feel that you’re always being bullied by your little brother.”

Little Yichen pursed his lips. “Well, I’m your Big Brother after all,” he said in an old-fas.h.i.+oned way. “Besides, I fought you for nourishment when we were in Mommy’s womb and you were born with poor health…”

His voice trailed off as he spoke. Others might not be able to understand his feelings. The boy was vaguely aware that Youyou’s poor health might have something to do with him.

When they were in her womb, he must have been the domineering one, fighting with his brother for nourishment. As a result, he felt an inexplicable guilt towards the boy.

If it hadn’t been for him, the boy might have been perfectly healthy!

At least, he wouldn’t have had wasted much of his childhood cooped up in the hospital.

He would have been like the other kids, going out every day to fly kites and play with his buddies.

He wouldn’t have to watch on while others had fun.

Little Yichen suddenly recalled, “I remember I used to play a horror game where the main characters were a pair of twin sisters.”

“Twin sisters?”

“Yeah.”

“In the old folklore of many countries, in fact, the first of the twins to be delivered is considered the younger sibling, and the last to be born is the older sibling.”

“Oh? Why is that the case?”

The boy answered, “I read a report saying the medical opinion was that the first of the twins should be the younger sibling because the baby to arrive second is in the higher position in the uterus, pointing to the fact that it had developed earlier. The first baby to develop occupies a favorable position inside the uterus, causing the later baby to be closer to the womb opening and to be born first.”

“I see!” The boy could not help but find this interesting.

“Then by that logic, I should be the big brother!” The boy rubbed his chin in mock seriousness as he reached a conclusion.

“In that game, it’s the same set-up. The first ones born are the younger ones, and the ones born later are the older siblings.”

“No wonder I’m a little more mature than you.”

This game that Little Yichen played was called Crimson b.u.t.terfly.

In the game, there was an ancient village. The Minakami Village was a village established at the entrance to the h.e.l.lish Abyss. In order to suppress the Void at the entrance to the h.e.l.lish Abyss, the village was a host to a ritual called the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual.

When the power suppressing the Void was weakened, another crimson sacrifice had to be offered. Otherwise, if the Void’s resentment erupted, it would cause the village to be destroyed.
