I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 76

at night, Shang Can tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

After Yun Duan finished applying the medicine, she left, despite repeatedly assuring her that she was just next door and could come to help at any time. However, out of politeness, she left Shang Can alone.

Under normal circumstances, after not being able to sleep at all the previous night, Shang Can should have been able to sleep soundly now. Yet, she found herself wide awake.

Was it her imagination? Even now, she seemed to faintly catch the scent that belonged to Yun Duan, inexplicably making her restless.

Yun Duan's firm tone during the application still lingered in her ears. She had said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."

This wasn't a good thing, Shang Can thought; she should have realized that.

The word "future" carried a vague ambiguity, yet Yun Duan, always meticulous, could simply and confidently speak of it.

It was a beautiful promise, but Shang Can dared not dwell on it.

Shang Can considered herself somewhat reckless, living in the moment with a "seize the day" mentality, treating the present as the utmost priority. Ever since recognizing their identities, she had deliberately avoided topics about the "future." Even when Yun Duan brought it up, she brushed it off with laughter. Given Yun Duan's intelligence, she clearly noticed Shang Can's avoidance and no longer mentioned it.

Shang Can found it difficult to think about anything related to the future. After all, she was someone without a past, while Shang Can felt she was someone without a future. She believed that Yun Duan must want "Shang Can," yet just today, Yun Duan had said that her identity posed no conflict for her. Every word conveyed a sincerity that only her presence mattered.

What was she to do?

Shang Can harbored unspoken feelings for Yun Duan, yet even without this affection, she wished she could gather all the beauty in the world for Yun Duan. She would even want to pluck the moon from the sky for her. Yun Duan was her only junior sister and the person she cherished the most in this world.

Weary, Shang Can closed her eyes.

...But at this point, what she held in her hand to give to Yun Duan was merely a dream.

The next morning.

After washing up, Shang Can slowly stepped out of her room and was greeted by the aroma of food wafting through the air as she walked into the hall.

"Finally awake? You really can sleep!"

Wan Shao, who had mysteriously disappeared the night before, was shouting from afar, her voice full of complaints. "Yun Zhongjun has already prepared breakfast. We were just waiting for you!"

Hearing this relaxed tone made Shang Can seethe with anger. She sat down leisurely, wearing a warm smile as she replied, "I didn't know you had an appetite for breakfast. I thought the chestnut cake from Yun Cheng was enough to fill you up. Was it good?"

"..."

The chatterbox suddenly fell silent. After a moment, she awkwardly replied, "It was... good..."

"Oh, that's really great." Shang Can nodded with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, then pressed on, "Which place did you get it from, the one in the East City or the West City? I think the West City one is better."

Wan Shao seemed hesitant for some reason, stammering, "Uh, I just randomly found a place on the roadside; I didn't pay attention to which one..."

"Let's not talk about that!" She abruptly interrupted, asking, "How's your back injury? Is it feeling better after Yun Zhongjun applied the medicine yesterday?"
