Super Soldier in the City

These words came from Su Yiyi, who usually speaks the least. This meant that everyone had been harboring similar thoughts deep down but avoided bringing them up out of consideration for Xu Yingying’s feelings. Su Yiyi had initially planned to suppress these feelings too, but her naturally kind heart and the evident sadness from Xu Shanshan’s departure prompted her to blurt them out.

Some things can remain unspoken, allowing everyone to feign ignorance. But once they’re said, there’s no need for such pretense anymore.

Lin Qiong chimed in at this moment, saying, "Yiyi is right. Put yourself in her shoes. If this had happened to me, I’d never let Shanshan go find another man. I’d feel as though, when she’s with another man, I myself am also being... well, you know, XXOO’d by that man."

Xiao Ling’er nodded repeatedly, saying, "Exactly, exactly! That’s how it feels. If you look at it from Shanshan’s perspective, she and our husband have already been together countless times. How could she possibly find another man after that?"

Su Mengxin sighed and said, "Thinking about it now, Shanshan has truly endured so much. She can’t even express her feelings. She has to act as though nothing has happened when she’s with our husband. If it were anyone else, they would’ve long been unable to bear it and would have clung to him actively instead."

Listening to everyone’s chatter, Xu Yingying stammered, "So... you’re all saying... you support Shanshan being with our husband?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Ye Yunzhu, seated beside Xu Yingying, patted her shoulder and said, "Honestly, from our perspective, we do support Shanshan being with our husband. But the challenge lies with you. Shanshan is your younger sister. Sisters marrying the same man is inherently hard to accept. This also touches upon ethical and moral boundaries. And there’s also the concern about your family’s reputation, especially whether your parents could accept it."

Xu Yingying’s lips twitched slightly as she slumped weakly onto the sofa. Her body displayed a strong physical reaction, but the mental pressure prevented her from dwelling on that. She said, "If I claim I haven’t considered this, I’d be lying. Sometimes I’ve wondered if perhaps it would just be better for Shanshan to be with him, so neither of us would have any emotional burden moving forward. But she’s my biological sister, and I always feel this isn’t right. Plus, there’s no way my parents would accept this. If relatives and friends found out that the two of us share a husband, I fear we would never be able to lift our heads again—it’s not like our current circumstances where no one knows. But when we go back to our hometown, we’ll inevitably face our relatives."

Su Mengxin smiled slightly and said, "Yingying, the key is you. If you can overcome this hurdle within yourself, the other issues can be tackled little by little. Surely, you wouldn’t want Shanshan to spend her entire life alone, would you?"

Xu Yingying forced a bitter smile and said, "Of course not. I can’t be that selfish."

Su Mengxin nodded and said, "Then I’ve thought of something. Let me know if you think it works."
