The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Give Up on My Dreams

Tao Ti sighed and did not speak.

Tao Bin, up in the tree, sighed as well, and he too remained silent.

Tao Shen grew even more worried, bombarding with questions, until the old monk who had hurried over resolved his confusion.

Tao Shen first looked at his younger sister, examining her carefully, his lips unwittingly curving upward.

Compared to the first time she appeared in public, looking pitiful and skinny, his little sister had indeed… gained weight!

Her little face was plump and tender white, igniting a strong urge to pinch it.

...

“I… really got fat?” Tao Ti asked in a small, pitiful, and helpless voice.

Tao Shen struggled to contain his laughter.

What to do, with his sister looking this… adorable!

He really wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks!

“No, you are just fine this way, you were too thin before. People like you better this way.”

Upon hearing the words “People like you,” Tao Ti’s pitiful, dim eyes suddenly lit up, her pupils shining bright, her eyes filled with hope, “Do people really like me like this? Will a lot of people like me?”

This reminded Tao Shen of the countless times he had watched that video where his sister told the actress Manli that she just wanted her sister to like her a little bit.

That humble and frail, hopeful, and yearning look was deeply etched in Tao Shen’s mind.

How much sorrow had his sister endured, and how much rejection had she faced to be so humble, desiring just a little affection?

Her lack of love was his fault for not having been reborn sooner, for not finding her sooner.

Tao Shen’s eyes reddened in a flash, his nose turned sour, he quickly lowered his eyelids to hide his nasal voice, struggling to appear normal, “Yes, a lot of people like you like this. You are a little star now, with lots of fans.”

“Really?” Tao Ti cheered, jumping up and down on the spot, revived fully.

Seeing his sister happy, Tao Shen looked up at his brother sitting on the big tree, still morose, and said irritably, “You brat, come down from there!”

Tao Bin sighed, “Let me be alone to think. I can’t figure some things out, I must find an answer.”

“Stop messing around! Come down now!”

Tao Shen reached out to grab his pants, attempting to pull him down.

Tao Bin, like a nimble monkey, shook off Tao Shen’s hand and quickly climbed higher up the big tree.

Tao Shen: “…”

Looking up at his frustrating brother, he tiredly said, “Just come down, you’ll break a leg if you fall!”

Still atop the tree, Tao Bin hopped a few times and cheekily laughed, “I’ve been climbing trees since I was a kid. Every tree in the temple holds my achievements. I won’t fall!”

He laughed confidently and boisterously, his entire demeanor lively and clear, but the smile lasted only three seconds, then disappeared, and his face reverted to its original sadness, utterly dejected.

“Ah, I should give up my dream.”

At these words, Tao Shen’s brows slightly furrowed. He knew what his brother’s dream was and used to think he was just young and naïve.

But having experienced the previous life, he knew his brother was no ordinary person; his dream would gradually come true, and he would become a true hero.

In fact, he had thought about stopping his brother, maybe that could have prevented his death.

But it was his brother’s dream. Why stop it?

He could protect his brother, ensuring that the tragedy of the previous life did not repeat!

Tao Shen asked loudly, “Give up, are you content with that?”

Tao Bin rubbed his face, looking bitter, “Not content.”

Far from content!

He involuntarily clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.
