Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Y City, their hometown is a third rate city, the funeral custom is still traditional seven days mourning then continue the burial or cremation preparation, because the land is still available, Shen Yue chooses by burial custom. Since Ming Xin cannot lead the burial procession, both Shen Yue and Ming Yi are daughters so the procession is led by their uncles.

When the burial procession over Shen Yue thanked all relatives who came and helped one by one. After a while the relatives went home one by one, when there was no one left Shen Yue went back to the parking lot. In the parking lot Ming Yi sat on a bench near their rental car waiting for Shen Yue quietly. Ming Yi's uncle and his wife saw Ming Yi alone walk towards her then stood in front of her, Ming Yi uncle's face was unwilling while his wife put on a fake caring face.

"Ming Yi you alone now, grandma already old, no one look after you, auntie is willing to take care of you until you become independent, let's go home with us"

"No thanks, i still have my sister" Ming Yi replay firmly

Ming Yi uncle turn dark raises his voice scolded Ming Yi

"You ungrateful Jinx! She is not your blood sister, she is an outsider, she will abandon you!"

"No! You lied!. My sister won't abandon me. Stop pretending I know you guys just want the compensation money" yelled Ming Yi back

"You Jinx!"

Ming Yi uncle feel insult and raises his hand want to smack her

Shen Yue who already near parking lot see the commotion, when Ming Yi uncle about to smack Ming Yi Shen Yue run fast then push Ming Yi uncle away

"What are you doing!" yelled Shen Yue

Ming Yi who been pushed about to fall then his wife help him stand steadily, he push his wife away agitate yelled to Shen Yue

"Why do you always interfere in our family affairs! You are just an outsider, stop interfering. Get lost!"

Shen Yue sneered " Yes I am just an outsider for you but I am still her sister. On paper I am legally her guardian. Stop your evil thoughts. That compensation money is already notary with a lawyer, only Ming Yi and Ming Xin can get it when they get their ID, other people can't take it including me."

"You! You! You!" MIng Yi Uncle can't say a word. 

"Useless" With black face Ming Yi uncle drags his wife forcefully and walks away.

With Ming Yi Uncle and his wife gone Shen Yue look at Ming Yi who lowered her head in silence

"Are you okay"

Still lowering her head, MingYi asked Shen Yue sadly "sister am i really a jinx?My biology mother died because of me. My father and aunt are gone, Ming Xin is still in the hospital because we celebrate my exam score. Do I deserve to live as the only one that survives?"

Shen Yue sat beside Ming Yi lean her back look at the sky her face filled with dark circle exhaustion

"Don't think anything strange, it's not your fault. You know that uncle Ming and your biology mother have difficulty getting offspring, after two miscarriage you're successfully born, your mother knows her body can't handle the pregnancy while you are still seven months in the womb and about to give birth prematurely but she endured it so you would be born safely. About the accident it's the truck company's fault for cutting a short fund for profit, the truck is already old there is rarely any maintenance. So you shouldn't feel it's your fault"

"Thank you sister" Ming Yi tearful reply lowered her head still feeling guilty

Shen Yue knows it's not Ming Yi's fault; she never blames her. Shen Yue is still grateful that Ming Yi and Ming Xin survived, at least she was not left alone in this life.

Shen Yue and Ming Yi sat on the bench until the sun was about to set. Loot at the sky about to get dark. It's time to go home.

"Let's go home" Shen Yue then walks to the rental car, followed by Ming Yue.

After a long day finally they arrived at home. They live at the housing complex, each house separated by a small yard. Shen Yue parked the rental car beside their house, Ming Yi waited for Shen Yue in the small stairs in front of the house door. Shen Yue opened the door of their house inside is tidy as ever even hadn't been home for a while. It's just the house which usually feels cramped with five people living there now feels empty.

They already eat dinner on the way before arriving at home

"It's late already, let us rest, we will continue tomorrow. When you showering remember to use the water proof wrap around the wound, don't get water touch it"

Shen Yue and Ming Yi then entered their own bedroom to rest. After showering Shen Yue went straight to sleep, after a long day with no rest. Shen Yue sleeps tight.
