Ye Zhi and his brother went to a nearby dojo to practice when they were in elementary school, but under the influence of his mother, who worked in computer magazines, Ye Qiu preferred keyboards to kendo and quit the dojo in the second year. But unlike her brother, who has only started, Ye Zhi and Kendo are very compatible, and after her grandfather died, she still held a bamboo knife.

Ye Zhi is 15 years old this year. Last year, at the final meeting of junior high schools, we achieved a relatively high ranking in the country, and we were recommended to a famous high school in the prefecture by the decision of the school in the spring.

But—

My previous self was not confused about what to move forward with. I already like kendo, and being able to respond to the expectations around me is more pleasing than anything else.

But just two years ago, his brother was involved in an incident that shook Japan, which made Ye Zhi confused in his heart. She regretted it, so to speak. When Ye Zhi was seven years old, his brother gave up kendo, and there was a deep generation gap between the two, and the fact that the generation gap was not narrowed made Ye Zhi feel very regretful.

The elder brother who gave up the bamboo knife still seems to be seeking healing, immersed in the computer all day long. For Ye Zhi, it was like the bond with his brother that had always been suddenly broken.

When I was in elementary school, I made a machine out of parts, and I also completed programming with the help of my mother. For Ye Zhi, these are like foreign languages. Maybe Ye Qiu is the so-called genius, Ye Zhi has always felt so.

Of course, the school also teaches some knowledge of computer operation, and Ye Zhi also has a small computer in his room. However, she can use the computer to send emails and search to the extent of searching, but she still can't understand the world her brother lives in. Especially when her brother became obsessed with online RPG games, it made her feel a huge sense of disobedience. I'm a novice to computers.

So she put on a disguised mask, but she still can't talk to someone wearing the same mask.

Since childhood, Ye Zhi and his brother have always had a good relationship as friends. And now that his brother has gone to another world and is far away from him, Ye Zhi has devoted himself to kendo as if he wants to eliminate loneliness. The distance between the two is constantly widening, and the daily conversation is constantly decreasing, and I don't know when the relationship between the two has become ordinary.

But to be honest, Ye Zhi often feels lonely. She wanted to talk more to her brother. I want to understand my brother's world, and I want my brother to watch my game.

However, this incident occurred at a time when these emotions were about to be expressed.

Nightmarish VR game events. The consciousness of 10,000 young people across Japan has been imprisoned in an electronic cage and has been sleeping there for a long time.

The day Ye Zhi went to visit the large-scale hospital where he housed his brother for the first time.

When she saw her brother lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in many data cables, wearing that catastrophic helmet and falling asleep, Ye Zhi cried, the first time she had cried since she was born. She hugged her brother and cried.

I may never be able to talk to my brother again. Why, I didn't make an effort to close the distance between me and my brother before. This is not a difficult thing to do, and I should be able to do it.

Reconsidering whether to continue kendo or not, my true thoughts are also at this time. However, because I was very confused, the answer never came out. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, when she didn't meet her brother, Ye Zhi was persuaded by the people around her to recommend her to go to school, and the wavering idea of whether to continue on this path has always occupied her heart.

My brother has already returned, and I will definitely talk to him a lot this time. To dispel all the troubles and confusion, while the time is talking. Ye Zhi made this decision, and then two months ago, a miracle happened. The elder brother escaped from the restraints by his own strength and woke up.

- However, the relationship between my brother and myself has changed dramatically. learned from the mouth of his mother Cui that Ye Qiu was not Ye Zhi's own brother, but his cousin.

Father Feng Song is an only son, and mother Cui has an older sister who died at a young age, but Ye Zhi has never known about these. Therefore, when she suddenly knew that Ye Qiu was the child of her mother's sister, she was also at a loss and didn't know what kind of relationship she should maintain with her brother.

Is it estranged, or is it the same as now. She couldn't put it into words.

Well. But there is one thing that will not change.

Ye Zhi meditated on these in his heart, as if he wanted to interrupt his thinking, and swung the bamboo knife in his hand sharply. It's terrible to think about it any further, as if you're going to transfer your consciousness elsewhere, and you keep dancing the bamboo knife.

After the allotted number of times is reached, the angle of the sun also changes in the morning. She wiped the sweat from her head, put down the bamboo knife, and turned around to go home—

"Ahh

Just as he was looking at the road leading to his home, Ye Zhi suddenly stood still.

I don't know when, Ye Qiu, who was wearing a sweater, stood in the corridor with his waist up, looking this way. With squinting eyes and smiling, he spoke:

"Good morning. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the bottle of mineral water he was holding in his right hand. Ye Zhi caught it with his left hand and said:

"Morning, good morning. Really, if you see it, call me out. ”

"No, you look serious. ”

"No, I've always been like this. ”

In the past two months, being able to do this kind of conversation naturally made Ye Zhi happy from the bottom of her heart, and then she sat down at a subtle distance on Ye Qiu's right side. Standing aside, she unscrewed the bottle and drank it, the cold water would enter her hot body, making her feel very refreshed.

Well, you've been practicing."

Ye Qiu picked up Ye Zhi's bamboo knife, sat like this, and gently waved it a few times with his right hand. quickly turned his face to look at Ye Zhi and said:

"It's very light."

"Huh?"

Ye Zhi left the water bottle with his mouth and looked at Ye Qiu.

"It's really made of bamboo, it's very heavy. However, compared to the carbon bar, it is still 50 grams away. ”

"Ahh That's just a feeling, but it's a question of comparison."

Ye Qiu snatched Ye Zhi's mineral water bottle and drank all the rest of the water.

"Ahh

Without thinking much about it, Ye Zhi's face began to heat up, as if she was going to mix it up, and she said unhappily:

"You, who are you comparing yourself to? ”

Ye Qiu put the empty water bottle in the corridor and stood up.

"I said, do you want to be Bibi. ”

Ye Zhi looked up at Ye Qiu's face wordlessly.

"Is it a competition?"

"Yes. ”

Although he didn't have the slightest interest in kendo, Ye Qiu nodded as if he took it for granted.

"Then you have to wear armor?"

"Well, although it's okay not to wear it, it's not good to make Ye Zhi feel guilty. Grandpa's armor is still there, so let's go to the dojo now. ”
