Chapter 462 Family Healing
Each word was like sunlight gently soothing her wounds.
All the pent-up grievances that had been suppressed and kept dormant for many years surged into her heart.
They scrambled to get out.
A self that was never seen before was thus discovered and described.
It was so gentle, without the slightest offense.
Despite being complete strangers, they understood her with profound depth and clarity.
She has no flaws or mistakes, only her true self.
Xiong Yu'an could no longer hold back his tears and burst into sobs.
The mother stared blankly at the heavy homework, the neat handwriting, and the tears welling up in her daughter's eyes, and felt a pang of heartache.
Regret and self-blame surged over her like a tide, leaving her bewildered.
Tears welled up in her mother's eyes, and her voice became hoarse.
"Mom...I misunderstood you."
She bent down and hugged Xiong Yu'an.
Neither of them spoke again, and Zuo Xiuyan also stopped talking, simply listening quietly to the weeping.
The parents themselves were unaware of the extent of trauma many of their actions caused to their children.
Fortunately, Xiong Yu'an's mother still loves and cares for her child.
They are able to recognize their mistakes and are willing to speak up.
A parent's apology can also be a healing process for a child.
Sometimes, children don't know how to express themselves, and parents don't know how to listen.
At crucial moments, there needs to be a bridge-like entity to connect the two on a spiritual level.
Just now, Zuo Xiuyan felt it was time for him to make his move—at the moment he received Xiong Yu'an's permission.

However, one apology does not mean it will never be done again.
Because a person's behavior and thought patterns are fixed and not easily changed.
Getting along well with family members requires a lot of adjustment and communication.
Today is a great start.
After the two calmed down for a while, the mother wiped away her tears with a tissue, and then helped Xiong Yu'an wipe his as well: "Then you write, Mom won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep early after you finish writing."
"Hmm..." Xiong Yu'an replied, watching his mother leave before closing the door behind him.
Xiong Yu'an suddenly realized that his sister must be the person who had seen him cry the most.
So embarrassing.
"I... I don't want this to happen, but I can't control myself."
“It’s okay. Emotions need to be expressed, no matter what they are,” Zuo Xiuyan said softly. “You know, I’ve never seen you that way.”
"..." Xiong Yu'an calmed down again, as if he didn't need to say anything in front of his sister.
If my sister hadn't spoken up for me, what would things have been like today?
It'll probably be the same as always.
My sister always makes the world different.
No matter where.
Xiong Yu'an reached out his hand, wanting to touch Zuo Xiuyan, but put it back down after raising it a little.
"Thank you sister."
"You're welcome, Yu'an." Zuo Xiuyan took out a tissue and handed it to her, gently smoothing her slightly messy hair.
[Dawn countdown... 1 minute.]
Is it time yet?
"Yu'an, I have a job now."
Xiong Yu'an paused: "Weren't you going to stay here?"
But she immediately realized it was inappropriate and quickly changed her words, saying, "Sister, you go ahead and do your work."
"it is good."
Zuo Xiuyan walked to the door of the room, waved to her, and then gently closed the door.
The living room lights were off, and Xiong Yu'an's parents had gone back to their room to rest.
As the sound of shattering came, seawater appeared at her feet.
She felt a pulling sensation, and the surroundings shrank, collapsed, and she flew far away until she stood on the sea surface, looking at that familiar screen.
……
Looking at the empty room, Xiong Yu'an suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and sadness.
She wiped away her tears and looked down at her homework again.
Ten times...
Keep writing, and go to bed early after you're done.
If we hurry, we can go to sleep around 2 AM.
She quickly copied down the answers, but she still felt a tightness in her chest.
I didn't do anything wrong.
This shouldn't be happening.
I can go to sleep now...
But the inexplicable fear and anxiety kept her writing.
Like a machine, printing meaningless fonts.

Xiong Yu'an nodded wearily several times during the journey, trying to stay awake.
When she stopped writing, the clock showed 3:10.
She didn't wash up; she simply changed into her pajamas and collapsed onto the bed.
It would be easy for me to fall asleep in this state.
But she still couldn't fall asleep, even worse than the night before, and curled up, trembling.
She continued until she seemed unable to bear it any longer and fainted.
She felt like she was having a nightmare, her breathing so rapid it was as if she were being choked and couldn't get any air.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in surprise.
Overwhelmed with fear, she looked towards the door, clutched the blanket tightly, and shrank into the corner.
After a long time, he covered his head, and then went through a cycle of trembling, unconsciousness, and sudden awakening.
……
Zuo Xiuyan frowned deeply.
This reaction is so strange; it shouldn't be happening at all.
Xiong Yu'an's condition and mood during the day should not have reached this terrible state.
Zuo Xiuyan originally thought that Yu'an would be better tonight.
But the truth is quite the opposite.
It's dawn, please open your eyes.
Upon hearing the notification sound, Zuo Xiuyan opened his eyes.
Last night was Christmas Eve.
[Target number of deaths: 5.]
Number of people who feigned death: 5.
A familiar cracking sound came from the crowd, and the five people simultaneously turned into white jade.
Zuo Xiuyan suddenly felt a sense of sorrow.
Xiong Yu'an died five more times.
What did it feel like for her to die in these little worlds?
Zuo Xiuyan suddenly wanted to know what Xiong Yu'an had experienced in other people's worlds.
All the data were once again displayed in the form of a hologram.
……
[Behavioral statistics in progress...]
[The Headmaster, the Prophet, the Tailor, the Fearless, and the Lobbyist used the Possession Card twice during this period, each obtaining two Boundary-Breaking Swords.]
The first three are E19, Su Guanming, Meng Xiyue...
The newly emerged "Fearless" is Sun Mu! And the "Persuader" is a Word Master!
Almost all the leaders of the three factions played two possession cards this time.
The broadcast continued.
[Phantom, Wind Listener, Tree Planter, Assassin... Use the Possession Card once during this period to obtain the Sword of Boundary Breaker.]
The long list of nicknames almost never stopped; almost everyone else used it once.
[Which of you above chooses to use the Sword of Boundary Breaker?]
Everyone spoke in unison.
"use."
Dozens of crystal swords began to form in front of the people outside the first wall, then simultaneously changed direction and blasted forward with fierce force.
"Boom! Boom!" The first wall seemed so fragile, as if it had been hit by an earthquake, collapsing in large sections without any resistance.
A wide expanse lies ahead.
The stone pillars beneath their feet propelled them forward, like a tank being pushed and crushed, creating a tremendous momentum.
