This novel contains sensitive and taboo content like R*pe, Mu**er etc. Read only if you are comfortable.

“We’re not the same kind of people at all! Even if we share the same body, I’m nothing like a naive idiot like you! I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Go eat your meal!”

“Song Yang” curled himself into a tight ball, hugging his tail as he shrank into a dark corner.

They were not the same kind of people.

Song Yang was innocent and kind, with not a brain cell to spare—always easy to deceive, a textbook naive sweetheart!

And yet it was precisely this naive sweetheart who was now living a good life…

No longer worrying about making a living, surrounded by a whole bunch of family, and even possessing—“love.”

What a beautiful word, “love.”

Yet this beautiful word had never once descended upon them.

He and Song Yang were originally identical twins. Back when they were still inside their eggshells, he had already begun to remember things.

He remembered their parent’s voice, and he clearly remembered how their parent abandoned them.

Before they were born, their parent treated them very well. Every day, their parent played music for them and told them stories.

But once they were born, their parent coldly discarded them.

That day, it rained heavily. They were thrown into a trash bin.

He was a bit stronger than Song Yang, so the rain didn’t affect him as much.

At that time, Song Yang hadn’t even developed self-awareness yet. Separated by the eggshell, he trembled from the icy rain.

Back then, Song Yang was so tiny—his eyes hadn’t even opened, his breathing extremely faint, as if he could die at any moment.

And what was he doing then?

At first, he merely watched coldly as Song Yang curled up and shivered. His little brother was too weak; even if he managed to hatch in the future, he wouldn’t live very long.

But as Song Yang’s breathing grew weaker and weaker, he suddenly became afraid—afraid that Song Yang would really die.

He and Song Yang had nestled together inside the eggshell for so long. They had once been so close.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he only had this younger brother left.

Their parents no longer wanted them. If his brother were to die as well, then he would have no family left in this world.

So he hugged Song Yang tightly, using his own body heat to warm Song Yang’s body.

But Song Yang was too weak. In the end, he still failed to survive that rainstorm.

Little by little, the warmth drained from Song Yang’s body in his arms, until not a trace of heat remained.

His younger brother died. His brother died without even opening his eyes once.

If only it hadn’t rained that day. If there hadn’t been that rain, Song Yang might really have survived…

He held his brother’s corpse, not knowing what to do. What else could he do? He couldn’t even break out of the shell yet.

They were identical twins—two individuals split from the same egg. Why couldn’t his body be used together with his brother’s?

After that, he fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was when Song Yang had been picked up and brought back to the nursery, lying in a medical pod to recover.

His brother had survived. His brother lived on inside his body—they were sharing the same body.

His brother didn’t remember him, but that was fine. After all, his brother hadn’t even opened his eyes before dying; it was normal that he wouldn’t remember him.

…However, after he finished reading through his brother’s memories, he regretted it.

Was this silly, sweet idiot really his brother? He absolutely did not want to admit that this stupidly sweet fool was his brother!

Could his brother really be this dumb?

That scummy man who bullied his brother—he obviously didn’t look like a good person at all, yet his brother actually trusted him at first!

So stupid. How did such a stupid brother even manage to live until now?

He had already developed more slowly than him back then, and now his IQ was still this low. This stupid brother was beyond saving and would definitely get tricked again in the future.

He decided it—he would sever all ties with this stupid brother.

He would absolutely never admit that he was this idiot’s older brother! Never!

Luckily, the stupid brother didn’t remember their relationship. That way, he could openly and shamelessly deceive him.

Anyway, with that stupid brother’s intelligence, there was no way he’d ever figure out the truth. He could just let the idiot think they were the same person~

The silly, sweet, stupid brother now had a family—and even had “love.”

…How… jealousy-inducing.

Why does such a stupid little thing deserve happiness?

They’re clearly using the same body, aren’t they? And this body is even his.

So why?

Why does the silly, sweet brother get happiness, while he doesn’t?

Just because the silly one is naïve and kind?

Exactly where is he inferior to that silly sweet fool?

In terms of physique, he’s stronger. The silly one couldn’t even survive something as trivial as a rainstorm back then.

In terms of brains, he’s smarter. When he first began forming memories, the silly one didn’t even have self-awareness yet!

But now? Now he can only curl up inside this body, spying on the silly one’s beautiful life like some dark, lurking worm.

…He also wants to be loved. He also wants to have a family. He also wants Song Yiran to pat his head.

When he switches places with Song Yang, he’s felt Song Yiran’s head pats, and he’s felt the warmth of Song Yiran’s embrace.

But that tenderness wasn’t meant for him—it was meant for Song Yang.

The one Song Yiran hugged was Song Yang. The one he wanted to comfort was Song Yang. The one reflected in Song Yiran’s eyes was always Song Yang, never him.

Back when Song Yiran found someone by the roadside, it was Song Yang. The one he told bedtime stories to and coaxed to sleep was Song Yang. The one he held in his arms and comforted over and over again was still Song Yang.

From beginning to end, the one Song Yiran cherished was Song Yang—not him.

He was so jealous, jealous to the point of going mad. This body was clearly his! If it weren’t for him, that silly sweet fool would’ve died long ago!

So why is it that now, only that silly sweet fool gets to be happy?

So disgusting!

Absolutely disgusting!

Just thinking about how that silly sweet fool could obtain happiness made him feel sick!

Aren’t they the same person now? Aren’t they using the same body?

Then why were their fates so different?

Should he snatch the body back? This body was his to begin with. That silly sweet fool was so weak—there was no way he could win against him.

But…

“Song Yang” irritably scratched at the fur on his tail with his claws. Forget it. If that silly sweet fool lost the body, he’d probably curl up and cry miserably in his heart.

Who knew—maybe he’d cry and cry until he died. He really didn’t want that silly sweet fool to die again…

Still, one thing was one thing. He really hated that silly sweet fool! He would absolutely never acknowledge that silly sweet fool as his younger brother!

Absolutely never!

After the meal, everyone gathered in the nursery courtyard to watch Song Yiran teach Song Yang how to walk.

Yes—an upright-walking human teaching a fluffy little cub that walked on all fours how to walk.

Just watching this scene made Xiao Zhong’er doubt his entire existence as a system.

He couldn’t help but complain, “Can this really work? You walk on two legs, right? Can you really teach him how to walk on four legs?”

Song Yiran actually didn’t have much confidence either, but he still had to try.

He first asked Song Buli to demonstrate in front of Song Yang. Song Buli showed Song Yang how he walked.

To make it easier for Song Yang to see clearly, Song Buli deliberately slowed down his steps.

After walking a few laps in front of Song Yang, Song Buli felt it was about enough. He stopped and asked, “Yangyang, little brother, did you see clearly?”

Song Yang nodded. “I saw clearly!”

Song Buli looked at Song Yang with an eager expression. “Yangyang, little brother, then try walking the way I just did, okay?”

Song Buli felt he had performed perfectly just now—Yangyang would definitely be able to learn how to walk!

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Song Yang imitated Song Buli and stepped forward with his right front leg. Next should have been the left back leg—but his left back leg didn’t move at all.

He failed…

Song Yang lowered his head helplessly. He was so stupid…

“Song Yang” rolled his eyes. He really didn’t want to admit that this idiot was his brother. “What’s stupid about you? You’re not allowed to think you’re stupid!”

“But… didn’t you always say I was stupid before too…”

“Song Yang” was about to die of anger. “Do you even understand? When I said you were stupid before, I wasn’t saying you were stupid at this! I meant your brain was stupid!”

“I think it’s about the same… anyway, I’m just stupid, and now my legs can’t move either…”

“Song Yang” rolled his eyes in disgust. How could he have such a stupid younger brother?

“…You’re stupid beyond saving! Whose fault is it that your legs can’t move right now? Shouldn’t you blame that scumbag man? Why are you blaming yourself?”

“What you said makes so much sense!”

“You’re just too stupid! Anyway, you’re not allowed to think you’re stupid! I can call you stupid, but you’re not allowed to think you’re stupid!”

“You’re so domineering…”

The corner of “Song Yang’s” mouth curled into a disdainful smile as he mocked, “I’m way better than someone who can’t even walk properly right now.”

“Then if it were you using this body instead, would you be able to walk smoothly?”

His words gave Song Yang another idea.

“Of course. Do you think everyone’s as useless as you?”

“Song Yang” lifted his head proudly. He was far more capable than that silly sweet fool!

Song Yang asked tentatively, “Then could you maybe—” Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

“No. You can’t. I won’t help you! Do your own things yourself!”

“Okay then…” Song Yang retreated in disappointment.

Song Yiran soothingly patted Song Yang’s head and comforted him, “It’s okay. We still have plenty of time to practice slowly.”

“Even if you can’t walk for your whole life, it doesn’t matter. Big brother will always take care of you.”

Xiao Zhong’er also comforted him, “Not being able to walk isn’t a big deal. Ever since I was born, I’ve never walked at all!”

Song Yiran sighed. How could that be the same?

Xiao Zhong’er and Song Yang moved in completely different ways. Xiao Zhong’er could fly—Song Yang couldn’t.

Song Yiran decided to manually help Song Yang walk. He reached out with both hands and gently held Song Yang’s two back legs, then had Song Yang start walking.

Song Yang stepped forward with his right front leg, and Song Yiran manually guided the right back leg forward. Song Yang then stepped with his left front leg, and Song Yiran guided the left back leg forward.

Song Buli stood nearby—lavishing praise. “Wow! Yangyang, little brother can walk now! Big brother is amazing! Yangyang, little brother is amazing too!”

Song Fu also joined in praising, “Big brother is awesome! Little brother is awesome too! Little brother, keep it up!”

Only Song Xiuhu narrowed his eyes. Something wasn’t right. There was something a little off about the way Yangyang was walking now…

Song Yiran accompanied Song Yang, helping him manually as they went around the courtyard again and again.

Very soon, Song Yang found the feeling of walking again. Song Yiran quietly let go, and Song Yang was still able to walk steadily.

Song Yiran clapped his hands in satisfaction. “Congratulations! Yangyang can now walk through his own efforts! Yangyang, you’re amazing!”

Song Yang looked at his back legs in delight. His back legs could move again!

Excited, Song Yang walked back and forth around the courtyard, again and again, feeling the strength in his back legs.

Gradually, Song Yiran also noticed something was off.

“Song Yang” sneered, “You’re still there grinning stupidly—take a look at how you’re walking right now!”

Xiao Zhong’er noticed it too. Song Yang could walk now, but—

Why had Song Yang started walking with his left and right legs moving together?

He was walking all wrong.
