Siheyuan log in and protect his sister

Li Wei woke to the familiar warmth of Xiaolian in his arms, her soft breathing a comforting rhythm against his chest. The sweet Xiaolian stirred, then, with a liberated tenderness, pressed a kiss to his lips. It was a silent affirmation, a promise made without words. Li Wei, understanding the unspoken sentiment, reached over and clicked off the lamp. In the soft darkness, the sounds of beautiful kisses and gentle caresses filled the room. Nothing more, nothing less, just a symphony of affection. He finally felt a profound sense of peace; his sister was truly his beloved. And while it felt like a thousand sweet, almost cloying moments, he knew this warmth, this overflowing love, was infinitely better than the cold, detached existence he'd seen in other narratives.

With a shared longing, they held hands, their fingers intertwined. Li Wei knew it was time. "Xiaolian," he began, his voice a soft murmur in the quiet room, "I... I am not from this world. I am a reborn soul." With patience and gentle words, he began to explain the overarching plot of the novel he remembered – the heroes, the villains, the inevitable conflicts that would arise. Xiaolian listened, wide-eyed and surprised, but instead of fear or confusion, she simply tightened her embrace around him. "Thank you, Gege," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion, "thank you for everything."

Li Wei held her close, pressing a kiss to her hair. "It doesn't matter what happens in this world, Xiaolian," he promised, his resolve iron-clad. "I will always keep you by my side. We will never abandon each other, and we will always grow stronger."

As these words of unwavering devotion left his lips, the System hummed with a new, powerful update.

**System Notification:**

**Deepened Connection Established with Beloved Partner.**

**Reward Granted: Soul-Bound Communication Thread – A direct mental link, preventing separation across time or space.**

**Reward Granted: Good Fortune Energy! (Provides subtle boosts to luck and positive outcomes)**

A wave of profound relief washed over Li Wei. A connection that transcended even the very fabric of reality. Confident in his path, Li Wei then did something extraordinary. He gathered all of his remaining accumulated energy and, with a silent act of will, poured it into Xiaolian. His fist, his resolve, would always be strong enough. He would always be above limitations. He promised himself, and her, that they would conquer this world together.

He showered her with more tender kisses. Though their blossoming courtship remained a secret from the outside world, within the confines of their shared bond, they laughed, whispered dreams, and vowed to survive everything that the passage of the main plot's time would throw their way.

**Reflections on Their Journey**

Their goals were clear, yet simple: survival, love, and unwavering growth. Li Wei wasn't driven by grand ambitions of world domination or becoming the ultimate hero. His purpose was singular, fiercely protective, and deeply personal. He understood that true strength wasn't just about smashing obstacles with his fist, but also about building an unbreakable sanctuary for the one person who mattered most. Their relationship, no longer just brother and sister in the traditional sense, had deepened into something unique, bound by destiny and a love that defied all conventional norms. Every decision, every training session, every whispered secret was for their shared future, their quiet rebellion against a predetermined narrative.

Life in the city continued, a vibrant tapestry woven with the mundane and the meaningful. They visited the bustling marketplace, where the scent of roasted chestnuts mingled with the chatter of vendors.

"Old Man Chen's rice wine is getting weaker, I swear!" grumbled a portly merchant to a fellow shopkeeper, wiping sweat from his brow.

"Nonsense, it's this heat making you soft!" retorted his friend, a laugh rumbling in his chest.

Nearby, two grandmothers huddled, fanning themselves. "Did you see the Mayor's son? Still hasn't found a bride, poor boy. At his age!"

"Ah, but his family is rich. He'll find someone when he's ready," the other sighed, shaking her head.

These snippets of everyday life, the concerns of common folk, grounded Li Wei. He was making sure that even as he strengthened himself and Xiaolian, they remained connected to the very fabric of this real, lived-in world. He bought fresh fruits, a small wooden toy for Xiaolian, always keeping an ear open, observing, learning.

When they returned to their rustic home, the familiar comfort of their small room enveloped them. Li Wei carefully prepared a meal, his skills honed, ensuring every dish was nourishing and delicious. He would watch Xiaolian eat, her small face alight with pleasure, and his heart would swell. Their days might seem short to an outside observer, their adventures contained to the immediate vicinity of their home and the nearest town, but for Li Wei, this was precisely the point. He was deliberately limiting their exposure to the wider, more dangerous world of the novel's main plot. He was using this precious time to enjoy every moment with Xiaolian, to build their love, and to quietly forge their strength, brick by brick, kiss by kiss. Their journey wasn't a sprint; it was a loving, deliberate cultivation of their unique world within a world.
