Choosing and Staying for Responsibility

That night, Tom talked a lot with Luo Xuan. At Luo Qichen's house, Luo Xuan often faced the glare of her aunt and cousins, as well as various difficulties. When she arrived at school, she was bullied because she was an orphan.

Luo Xuan has a stubborn personality and refuses to accept defeat. Whenever others criticize her, she just sprays it back. Coupled with her disdainful explanation, her classmates also refuse to interact with her, making her isolated.

Due to her inherited beauty from her mother, as she grew up, both her appearance and body grew. She was entangled by male classmates at school, and when she returned home, she could still feel the strange gaze from Luo Qichen.

One night, Luo Qichen broke into Luo Xuan's bedroom. At that time, Luo Xuan was changing clothes. This uncle with a human face and animal heart attempted to have an affair with Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan rose up in rebellion, and in the end, she picked up a fruit knife under her pillow and stabbed Luo Qichen, seizing the door and fleeing.

This was something she hid to protect herself, and as expected, it came in handy.

At that time, she was so angry that she thought she had killed Luo Qichen. She was both scared and helpless, and ran away on the street late at night, only to be stopped by two thugs. They, like Luo Qichen, also saw Luo Xuan's beauty and figure and wanted to drag her into the alley.

At that time, she was almost on the verge of collapse and had a strong murderous heart. With resentment towards her uncle, family, classmates, and Tom, she launched a crazy counterattack with a twisted face, scaring two thugs into despair, and one of them was even stabbed a few times.

She collapsed and fainted next to the trash can, just as she was discovered by a passing warrior. Wu Wu saw the potential of her body and took her back to the local branch of the Tianxuan Society to train her as an apprentice.

It has to be said that Luo Xuan has a strong eye for martial arts. Without any training, under his guidance, in just two months, she could easily defeat a big man from the Tianxuan Society. At that time, she was only 15 years old.

Of course, in addition to her physical foundation, her cynical attitude also helps. She hates everyone, classmates, friends, relatives, and others. Her personality of not getting close to strangers remains the same even at the day selection meeting.

It was the hatred that supported her to endure all kinds of cruel training, and the end of the hatred was Tom. At that time, she felt that if it weren't for Tom betraying her and abandoning her, she wouldn't have had the result today.

She once searched for Tom's whereabouts through the organization's intelligence network, but when Tom left, he abandoned his identity and became a wanderer, with no interaction with the information society. It was better for organizations like the Tianxuan Society, which had relationships all over the world, to be unable to find his trace.

Wu Wu recognized that Luo Xuan relied on this hatred to survive the initial training, but also felt that she should not allow this cynical hatred to spread recklessly. It would hinder her further growth and limit her space for development in the martial arts world. He often admonished her for this, but the effect was minimal.

Later, as the date of the micro disaster approached, the Darwin Order reorganized personnel arrangements from all over the world, and the city of Morikawa was also being adjusted. The district even transferred Du Kang, the president of the Southeast District of the Chosen Day Society, to take over.

As the strongest expert in the southeast region of the Tianxuan Society, Yaowu is also on the mobilization list, and he brought over Luo Xuan, the eldest disciple.

After the Miniature Cataclysm, Luo Xuan was assigned as a caretaker, responsible for the Longyao Home area, and unexpectedly met examiner Wen Sitian. The gentle and sweet thoughts broke through Luo Xuan's cold defense, and the two became good friends.

Afterwards, Tom went to Longyao's home to explore and also caught the eye of Wen Sitian. After several times of layout, Wensitian controlled the queen ants in the community and mobilized a large number of ant troops to besiege them. Tom led the survivors to fight hard and finally managed to escape to the bridge.

Finally, Wen Sitian conducted an assessment on Tom, who had no way out. At the end of the assessment, Luo Xuan arrived late but recognized Tom at a glance. Angry, she immediately took action to kill Tom, leaving a trail of betrayal.

As a result, shortly after undergoing the reconstruction surgery, Jinghe had not yet fully stabilized. She was too emotional and fell into a coma, which allowed Tom to escape and be rescued by the flying machine of the Haiwei Mini Industry that arrived.

Afterwards, she was reprimanded by military officials and stripped of her qualifications as a caregiver, and was sent to other areas to serve as a caregiver. However, she was not satisfied and secretly found someone to help her keep an eye on the situation in Jiangxia Village. As a result, Tom and Shen Jiayi unexpectedly returned to Jiangxia Village, and were discovered by that person and reported to Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan hurriedly arrived, while the person followed her instructions and continuously exerted pressure on the old medical camp, but did not completely suppress it. This gave Tom and others some breathing space, and eventually persisted until the arrival of the Tianlong 1 monorail train. And Luo Xuan also arrived late, before she could catch up, she was caught by her master Wuwu. This time, even her qualifications as a protective examiner were stripped, and she was forced to take her back to receive more rigorous special training before transferring to work as a hunter.

Now, misunderstandings have been clarified. Despite years of separation between siblings, the familial bond that has been nurtured since childhood has once again heated up. After experiencing numerous setbacks and minor disasters, they cherish each other even more.

"Little whirlwind."

"Hmm?" Luo Xuan blinked her big eyes and looked at Tom with a smile.

"In the future, don't just take action if you don't agree, okay? This way..."

Luo Xuan hugged his arm and nodded heavily, "Hmm, I'll listen to my brother. If you say you want to take action in the future, I'll take action."

Tom felt a little unconfident in his heart because he had met his younger sister again, and with some internal reviews at the Tianxuan Meeting, it seemed that Luo Xuan had developed a violent female personality. He only hoped that in the future, he could restrain her more.

The two of them talked late at night, and before they knew it, Luo Xuan hugged Tom's arm and fell asleep soundly. Tom carefully carried her to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then stroked her messy bangs before gently exiting the room.

In the year when their foster parents passed away, it was the most difficult period for the two siblings. Luo Xuan often cried and shouted for her parents to refuse to sleep. Tom could only comfort her time and time again, telling stories and fairy tales, playing skits and pretending to be monsters. She changed her ways every day and took meticulous care of her younger sister.

Tom left the room and went outside to get some food, only to find Yue Shanshan sitting by the door dozing off.

Tom lightly patted her, and the girl suddenly woke up from her dream. Her confused eyes quickly scanned and confirmed Tom's identity, which softened.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to... I want to find you, but I'm afraid I'll disturb you and your sister."

Tom gave a bitter smile and said, "It's late, let's go back and rest."

"No, I just wanted to ask you... Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Tom hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, the situation with the ark is probably very serious and cannot be delayed."

"I... I'll go with you!"

"No, you belong here, your brother, and the place where your parents are guarding. We need you here!" Yue Shanshan has a high level of mind control, coupled with strong sensing ability. She has repeatedly made remarkable achievements in the defense of the Endeavour, which can be said to be a rare combat power.

"But... I like you, you know." The two of them had a "union" and their hearts were completely connected at that moment. Tom's feelings for her and her feelings for Tom were instantly exchanged.

"I know, but I have someone I love, you know."

"I don't care! Even if you have ten wives and a hundred children, I still want to be with you!"

This left Tom feeling a bit at a loss. He knew Yue Shanshan liked him, but he didn't know that she had reached this point. "You... you're just temporarily overwhelmed... I'm not worth it..."

Yue Shanshan grabbed his hand and pressed it onto her chest, "I know you can telepathize. Come on, enter my thinking world, let you see my determination, see if I'm a little girl with a hot mind."

Tom regretted it very much and swore never to communicate with other girls again in the future. The last girl who did that was while cleaning the subway station. With the help of Liao Jinglei, she gave spiritual hints to a sleeping mutant mouse. However, the girl accidentally stumbled into his thinking world and fell in love with him.

If it weren't for that, that girl might not have participated in the Tianlong expedition mission and ended up tragically dying at the Jinrui Hotel.

Now there is an additional Yue Shanshan, and this debt really cannot be calculated.

But also because of Liao Jinglei's lesson, he did not allow Yue Shanshan to go with him.

"I know your feelings, just like I really want to stay here with my sister and live with you. But I have a responsibility, someone needs me, so I have to leave. You also have a responsibility that belongs to you, the responsibility your father left for you and your brother. The people here also need you, and this responsibility is very important. It cannot be abandoned just because of one love."

Tom found that his speech had become somewhat awkward, no longer stumbling, perhaps due to the result of his experience after the Miniature Cataclysm.

In order to make this statement more convincing, he had a bold idea and directly held her cheek, kissing her forehead. "We all have our own responsibilities to do, don't we?"

Yue Shanshan's head exploded in an instant. This was Tom's first intimate contact with her, and of course, in her opinion, their previous fusion was a combat need, without any emotional attachment.

"Don't forget me..." The girl's tears welled up as she tightly grasped Tom's hand and made more demands. "Promise me, don't forget my number?"

Tom's heart thumped fiercely as he took a deep breath and replied, "| I won't forget you."

"Okay, I'll stay, but you have to promise me that you must live. It's really unbearable. Bring them back here, and we welcome you on the Endeavour!"

"I will!" Tom also nodded. The Endeavour was big enough, and there was no problem for the thousands of people in the ark to live in.

Yue Shanshan threw herself into Tom's embrace and affectionately hugged him for a while before letting go. "Then I'll go back to sleep. Tomorrow you leave, I'll see you off. Last time I didn't see you off, I was afraid. Now, I won't be afraid anymore!"
