Chapter 20: The Younger Brother
"In the end, they defeated the demon king and lived happily ever after......"
Qianling put down the fairy tale book and looked down at the sleeping child beside her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tuck the quilt tightly and reach out to turn off the orange lamp at the head of the bed.
Starlight flowed, and she straightened the silver hair that fell from his cheeks. looked at the little face that was sleeping peacefully, and gently imprinted a kiss on the forehead, and the voice was gentle and loving:
"Good night, Satsuki. ”
Pulling the quilt, a bit of golden-green light flashed in the corner of his eye.
Reaching for the badge beside the pillow, she gently stroked the golden laurel branches and leaves on the badge by the starlight.
On the surface of the glossy badge, there is a slight golden-green brilliance in the gemstones, but the light seems to be better than before. It can be seen that it is often cleaned and wiped without a trace of dust.
The night breeze is shallow, the starlight is sprinkled on the window, and the small wind chimes rotate slightly, shining with brilliant brilliance.
Like the wings of a butterfly,
Silver lashes lift slightly.
Feeling that there was no movement, he quietly turned to the side and glanced sideways.
She finally slept.
Buried his face in the pillow, he blinked helplessly.
Recently, she bought a few fairy tale books on a whim, and told him fairy tales every night, and sometimes burst into tears when the climax of the story came, and he could only pretend to be asleep to escape her magic voice.
The soft silver hair flowed with starlight, quietly spreading out among the white pillows.
There seems to be a slight warmth on his forehead.
In the dark night, he stared at the ceiling in a daze, and a blush crept up his cheeks.
Early morning.
The morning breeze brings a faint floral fragrance, and the pale blue hyacinths in the window swaying gently.
The body was heavy, as if something was pressing on the body and making people breathless.
Satsuki frowned and opened her eyes in a daze.
Brown Sugar curled up on his chest, looking like he was sleeping incredibly comfortably.
"You fat cat. He reached out and picked it up.
The green cat's eyes narrowed, and it opened its mouth and yawned widely, revealing its little pink tongue.
Living room.
"What are these things, where did you get them?" Lin Chuan poked his finger at a large purple flower in the flower pot.
Suddenly, a crack opened where the finger was poking, and the purple flower suddenly opened its big mouth and bit the finger.
"It hurts, it hurts—!" he exclaimed in pain, and pulled his hand out with all his might, only to see deep tooth marks on his fingers, and blood pouring out.
"This is a large-mouthed insectivorous flower, it is very well-behaved, whoever asked you to poke it with your hand deserves to be bitten. ”
Qianling put down the clothes she had just collected in her hand, walked to the flower pot and gently reached out to stroke the petals, the big purple flower rubbed her hand very affectionately, and opened her mouth at Linchuan, looking provocative.
"What's the use of you raising these strange things?" Lin Chuan sat on the sofa, far away from the flower pot, raised his fingers and blew hard, it seemed that he was bitten lightly.
She raises a lot of "weird things".
"What's that weird thing? It helped me eat a lot of mosquitoes and flies. ”
Qianling picked up a glass jug and poured a glass of lemon juice and handed it to him: "If there is no wine, you will drink lemon juice." ”
Glancing at his fingers, "Do you want to bandage it?"
"This small injury, heal in a while. Lin Chuan shook his fingers, gasped again, and grinned in pain.
"Why did you have time to come over today?" Qianling took a sip of lemon juice.
"I've wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I haven't had time. ”
He looked around, and a slight smile curled into the corner of his lips: "It seems that you have been doing well all these years?"
"I loved it here. She smiled softly.
"You really haven't changed at all, you still like to collect these strange gadgets," Lin Chuan looked at all kinds of weird little things in the room, took a sip of lemon juice, and smiled helplessly, "Even this lemon juice has not grown." ”
"Yes, I haven't seen you for many years, I haven't changed much, but you've changed a lot," Qianling smiled, "How does it feel to be the captain of the guard?" ”
"It's no different, isn't it the same as back then, leading a group of little brothers to do things?"
"You can only compare the captain of the guard to the leader of the gangsters. Qianling shook her head.
"But it was really thanks to you last time, otherwise it would have been really troublesome. She looked at him earnestly, "Thank you." ”
"Don't say thank you, let's get it from the truth, what's the matter with your 'brother'?" he looked at her with the same earnestness.
"Satsuki, he ...... He was the only survivor of the explosion in Galandelle not long ago. Her voice was low.
"Explosion?" Lin Chuan's eyes lit up, "As far as I know, there were no survivors of that explosion. ”
“...... You never doubted his identity? Maybe he's not what you think he is. He said tentatively.
"I don't want to force him to recall those things, everyone has sad things that they don't want to face, it's good to let the past things stay in the past, I just hope that Satsuki can live a good life in the future......"
"Stupid, he's not the same as we are, he ......" He paused, as if something had come to his lips but swallowed it back.
"Linchuan?" she looked at him, a little puzzled.
Lin Chuan raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were a little complicated.
Suddenly, a pair of hands gently pressed her shoulders, and Qianling looked at him with some surprise.
"Qianling, whether you like to hear it or not, there are some things I must say. The voice was low, "You will marry one day, you will have to start a family, you can't live with a child of unknown origin for the rest of your life, and ......"
He paused slightly.
“…… That kid was dangerous. His eyes looked at her deeply, as if with a warning, "Trust me, stay away from him." ”
"Satsuki is only five years old, what danger is not dangerous?" she frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"He has no parents and no relatives, if I don't care about him, what can he do alone?"
“...... That place, perhaps, is also a place to go. His voice was low, as if he were talking to himself.
"You ......" Her eyes widened in astonishment, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, and she reached out to push him away, "Do you know what you're talking about? You want to talk about the Rose Garden?! Don't you know what kind of place it is? I will never let Satsuki go there!"
"I'm just proposing...... Take it easy. He was surprised by her reaction, and hurriedly picked up the lemonade and handed it to her, "When will your temper change when you say it's fried?"
"I know you're good for me, Linchuan," she bowed her head, took the lemonade in her hand, and her voice was low but clear, "but...... I can't leave him alone. ”
She looked up at him, amber eyes full of light.
"I don't want to regret it anymore. ”
He was stunned, opened his mouth slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile.
"Silly girl. ”
A hand gently rubbed her hair, and he lowered his head as if sighing:
"That's your reason?"
"I should have guessed a long time ago...... So, the last time you went to the garden party, it was because of this?"
"......" she kept her head down and did not speak, noncommittal.
"Qianling...... You know, even if you take him to the garden party, cook him a delicious meal, tell him a bedtime fairy tale, do everything you couldn't do before, you think you've made up for your regrets, but he's not a thousand feathers, and a thousand feathers are dead. Even if you do everything to be good to him, Qianyu can't feel it and won't come back. ”
"They're different. ”
Qianling lowered her head, her short chestnut hair hanging down her shoulders, covering her face.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, don't cry. He reached out and wiped her tears a little flustered, "You can do whatever you like, okay?"
The death of her five-year-old brother Qianyu many years ago has always been the deepest pain in her heart, and even after so many years, it still can't be erased.
It was the most forbidden area deep in her heart, and no one could easily touch it.
Meow -
Suddenly, the meow of a cat sounded.
"Ouch, what a big cat, come here and tell your master not to be angry. Lin Chuan beckoned to the brown sugar on the floor.
Meow -
Brown Sugar shook his big tail, jumped on the sofa, meowed and walked towards Qianling, rubbing lightly on her.
Qianling wiped her tears and turned her face,
But he froze for a moment.
Silver hair hangs down at his feet.
The breeze blows lightly, and the hair blows lightly in the wind.
The boy stood there silently, motionless.
Linchuan looked up and saw him, and he was also stunned.
"Satsuki......" she stared at him blankly.
He raised his eyes slightly, his silver eyes stared straight at her, his cheeks were a little pale, but his slightly immature voice was cold to the bone:
"I'm not your brother. ”
