The competition ended, and Chen Xing recalled Taotie to the Beast Taming Space.
After greeting his three teammates, he left the arena.
In the corridor, his tall sister's silhouette stood in a corner, quietly waiting for Chen Xing.
"If you teamed up with me, sister, the two of us siblings could've cut straight through to the finals," Chen Xing said with a grin as he looked at his sister.
Chen Lingya didn't speak but simply lifted her right elbow, gesturing for Chen Xing to support her.
Noticing his sister's subtle gesture, Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh.
He extended his left hand to hold his sister's elbow and walked side by side with her.
This motion sent Chen Lingya's thoughts drifting back to the distant past.
She seemed to see that tiny figure who would obediently wait at the classroom door after school each day, then take her hand and set off on the journey home together.
