Chapter 28: It's Me

Kawashima didn't dare to go back to Qiu Mansion, she was afraid that the people of Qiu Mansion would see that she couldn't even walk steadily and looked embarrassed, especially Ah Lu, who was regarded as her sister, and of course, she was even more afraid that her appearance would scare Snow Marks. She asked the guy at the pharmacy to deliver the medicine to Qiu's mansion, and told the housekeeper that she had met an acquaintance and wanted to go back later.

When the housekeeper told Qiu Ruoyu the news, Qiu Ruoyu was not surprised, he could be sure that Kawashima had gone to report to Kurosawa, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

At this point in the story, Lan Xue's heart seemed to be raised, and she looked at Ying thoughtfully and asked, "Why didn't you stop and tell me how Kawashima was?" ”

Shadow was silent for a while, and raised her head in the direction of the wall clock, "It's been too long today, aren't you sleepy?"

Lan Xue shook her head, her face without tiredness, "Go on, I'm worried about her." It's not dawn yet, so you can move on. ”

"Okay. That day, I didn't know what was wrong with me, maybe I became a little greedy, and I even wished I could see her again in the evening. I placed an oil lamp on the stone table, hoping to help her light the way. But I waited a long time and she didn't show up. I don't think she might be here today••••••"

Qiu Yingsheng was about to go back with the lamp, and suddenly thought about whether she hadn't come back yet. It was so late that he couldn't leave her alone, so he thought of this and walked forward with the lamp••••••

Qiu Yingsheng was walking on the small bridge in the garden with a lamp, and he faintly heard a thin cry. If you look closely, it is Kawashima standing barefoot in a small pond full of lotus flowers. Qiu Yingsheng threw down the lantern in his hand and pulled Kawashima up from the small pool. He didn't bother to say anything, just unfastened the buckle on Kan's shoulder as quickly as he could, draped it over Kawashima, and led her to the pavilion. Reflecting the light of the oil lamp, Qiu Yingsheng could clearly see the tears on Kawashima's face and the palm prints on his face that had not completely receded. Kawashima's shoes were no longer available, and he put on his own cloth shoes for Kawashima.

Kawashima looked at Qiu Ying, who was squatting and putting on his shoes, and said lightly: "Don't you know who I am? Why do you still treat me like this, I won't treat the foolish young master as a benefactor." ”

Qiu Yingsheng helped her put on her shoes and got up again, helping her tie the buckle on her shoulders, "This way it won't be cold." ”

Kawashima slowly placed his palm over his heart, feeling his heartbeat. Qiu Yingsheng pulled her palm to warm her, "Don't always ask me why, I just know that I can't let you freeze to death there." Kawashima retracted his hand, continued to place it on his heart, and whispered, "I just want to know where the water is colder there and here." I wonder if there's nothing colder than my heart. It's so cold in my heart, so cold that I can't feel it anymore. ”

Qiu Yingsheng slowly approached her, gently put his hands on her shoulders, and let her lean into his arms little by little•••••• Kawashima slowly closed his eyes in Qiu Yingsheng's arms. Why, why does he always see his embarrassed appearance, why, he is afraid that he will see his embarrassed appearance, why, the tears buried by himself, will •••••• shed like this••••••

Kawashima carried the medicine box to look for snow marks, and a faint smile hung on her face. Kawashima is not a big laugher, but these days, she suddenly wishes she could have more smiles on her face. happened to meet Qiu Ruoyu at the door of the snow mark room. Kawashima nodded slightly, "Young Master Ruoyu••••••"

Qiu Ruoyu only bowed his head slightly and went in.

Kawashima swallowed the words that had already come to his lips and followed behind him.

Qiu Ruoyu half-squatted beside Xueji's bed, holding Xueji's hand, Xuezhen no longer had a frightened look, and her fingers traced the outline of Qiu Ruoyu's eyebrows along his eyebrow bone.

Seeing that there was no longer fear in the eyes of the snow marks, Kawashima also breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, Midori Kawashima, you finally did one thing right.

"Doctor Kawashima, can I take Snow Marks out to play?" Qiu Ruoyu asked.

Kawashima nodded and replied, "Of course, if she smiles at you now, it proves that she has accepted you." I don't think I'll be very good without me following her. ”

"Thank you. After Qiu Ruoyu finished speaking, he carefully carried Xue Zhen out of bed, and walked towards the direction of the door with even steps, ignoring Kawashima who was standing in place.

Kawashima stood in place, looking at the stranger in front of him, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you taking her to fly a kite?"

"Hmm. Qiu Ruoyu replied softly.

Kawashima didn't have anything to say, and just nodded slightly, "Snow Scar will definitely be very happy." And ••••••Young Master Ruoyu, today is the death day of my relatives, I ••••••"

"Dr. Kawashima is going to do something. ”

Kawashima was suddenly stunned for a moment and said, "You're not afraid of my ••••••"

"Dare to ask Doctor Ikawashima, who has lived in Qiu's house for so long, have you found out that I have done anything to my friend that I shouldn't have done?"

"No ••••••"

"You should have something to prepare, let's go together. ”

"Okay••••••"

Ah Lan was about to go to the kitchen to get some snacks to eat when the young lady returned, but when he passed through the corridor, he saw a teary-eyed Ah Cheng.

Ah Lan hurriedly grabbed Ah Cheng, "What's wrong?"

Ah Cheng sobbed and said, "Sister Ah Lan, Second Young Master, Second Young Master, •••••• not good." ”

Ah Lan's eyes became more and more eager, "Second Young Master, what's wrong!"

Ah Cheng wiped his tears and said, "Because there are outsiders in the family who can't deliver medicine to the second young master on time recently, the eldest young master specially instructed me to be especially careful of the second young master's body if it's cold at night." Last night, when the wind was strong, I went to deliver the quilt to the second young master, but I found that the second young master was not in the room. I waited for the second young master for a long time to come back, but I don't know what's wrong, the second young master's shoes are gone, the cloth socks are also wet, the shoulders on my body are gone, and I still have a low-grade fever••••••"

"Then why don't you tell the eldest young master!"

"The second young master didn't let me say it, he said that the eldest young master was already very tired from taking care of the young lady, so he didn't let me tell him. ”

"And now!"

Ah Cheng suddenly cried: "No•••••• it's not good. ”

Ah Lan's heart was also in a mess, she grabbed Ah Cheng's shoulder, "Quick, go to Dr. Li! ”

"However, if it is discovered by Miss Doctor, then, then ••••••"

"She's not here now, you go!"

"Hey!" Ah Cheng said and ran forward quickly••••••

Kawashima had already walked out of Qiu's Mansion before remembering that she had forgotten to take the rice balls she had made early in the morning, and her sister liked the rice balls she made the most when she was alive, and she turned back when she thought of this••••••

Kawashima returned to Qiu, and the scene in front of her struck her as strange. The people in the house were as if they didn't see her, the maid and the guys were busy, and even the butler trotted past him. What surprised Kawashima even more was that the room where he had always wanted to "explore" was open, and Ah Lan and Ah Cheng hurriedly walked out of the house with a copper basin and a kettle•••••

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Kawashima cautiously approached the room. Although all the doors were open, the room was still dark. Kawashima gasped and stepped inside••••••

It was just an ordinary study, and Kawashima thought to himself that the secret must be in these books. Kawashima rummaged through all the books on the desk, and there was nothing special. But Kawashima suddenly discovered that under the paperweight was his portrait. The painting of himself is what he looked like on the first day he came to Qiu's mansion. Kawashima couldn't believe her eyes, she brushed aside the paperweight and gently picked up the drawing paper and stroked the ink on the paper.

"Put down my painting. ”

When Kawashima came in, he didn't notice that there were still people in the room, but the voice with his back to him was all too familiar to Kawashima. She smiled and put down the painting in her hand, and had already acquiesced in her heart to the end of this game of waiting for the rabbit, and if she was caught, she would admit defeat, which was no big deal. Kawashima designed countless eyes for herself after turning around, either calmly or calmly, but she never thought about what kind of eyes the person standing behind her was. The moment she turned to face the person, she was almost completely evacuated, and she subconsciously stepped back as if the whole person was about to be embedded in the desk. "Qiu Ruoyu" stood in front of him, his eyes were red as if he was oozing blood, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were colorless, haggard and distressing. His body was unsteady and he was slightly half-bowed, his trembling hands on his chest and the other on the carved door frame in the middle.

Qiu Yingsheng struggled to straighten up and took a few steps forward, he looked at Kawashima's eyes that were already welling up with tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "I scared you." Didn't I tell you a long time ago that there was something terrible in this room•••••• and it was me, not a human or a ghost, that scared you? ”

Kawashima gently dipped his tears with his fingers and gently pressed them under the corners of Qiu Yingsheng's eyes, "This is the first time I shed tears for others. Qiu Ruoyu, you are more vicious than the devil, didn't you go out to play with snow marks? Why did you suddenly become like this again? Deliberately lured me into this trap, right? You don't have to pretend to be like this, and you don't have to go to great lengths to trick me. That's right, I'm just a bad spy, and I'm already a rumor now. Becoming a king and defeating Kou is the first idiom I learned, and now you are the king and I am Kou, I will dispose of it at your disposal•••••• but even if you catch me, you will not be able to threaten Kurosawa Jun, because no one cares about an insignificant toy ••••••"

Qiu Yingsheng's body really couldn't support it, and the Kawashima in his eyes gradually became blurred, and it didn't slowly disappear until the moment he fell••••••

Seeing "Qiu Ruoyu" fall in front of him, Kawashima's whole person was frozen in place, his limbs did not obey his own call at all, and he couldn't move. She sat on the ground with her legs limp and collapsed, she reached out to touch the face like white ice, the scalding stinged her fingertips, and she shouted his name loudly, "Young Master Ruoyu•••••• Qiu Ruoyu! Wake up, it's me who is wrong, please, wake up!"

She hugged Qiu Yingsheng's head and desperately called for him to wake up••••••

"Doctor Kawashima!"

Kawashima suddenly raised her head, another Qiu Ruoyu! She couldn't believe everything in front of her, if the person in front of her was Qiu Ruoyu, then who was the person she was holding in her arms?

Qiu Ruoyu glanced at Ah Lan, Ah Lan lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry young master, I didn't know that Miss Doctor would ••••••"

Qiu Ruoyu ignored Ah Lan's words and rushed directly into the house, he pushed Kawashima away, picked up Qiu Yingsheng and put him on the bed in the inner room. Then he looked back at the snow marks that had been following him and had been scared and cried, "Snow marks, don't be afraid, your shadow brother is just uncomfortable." I'll have to stay and take care of him, so let Ah Lan and Doctor Kawashima accompany you first. ”

Ah Lan hurriedly came over to support Xue Zhen, "Miss, go back to the room with Ah Lan." ”

Qiu Ruoyu flattened Qiu Yingsheng's body, and then walked to Kawashima's side and helped her up, "Doctor Kawashima, my brother is not feeling well, I have to stay here to take care of him, Xueji, please leave it to you." ”

Kawashima didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't say anything, just nodded, and left with Alan••••••

Back in the room of the snow mark, Ah Lan was busy coaxing the snow mark with snacks and candies while carefully keeping an eye on Kawashima who was in a daze.

finally put Xueji to sleep, and Ah Lan came to reassure Kawashima, "Miss Doctor, do you want to eat some snacks?" ”

Kawashima sat on the edge of the snow-stained bed, and suddenly she came back to her senses from her own world, she grabbed the corner of Ah Lan's clothes and asked eagerly, "Ah Lan, he, has he never walked out of that room?"

Ah Lan deliberately dodged Kawashima's anxious gaze, "Then do you want to have a cup of tea••••••"

Kawashima looked at Ah Lan's deliberately evasive eyes, and then slowly put down his hand, "Ah Lan, do you know what my surname is?"

Ah Lan shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that you are Miss Doctor." ”

"My surname is Kawashima and I'm Japanese. Except for Qiu Ruoyu, only Ah Lu knows that I am Japanese. I also deliberately concealed it, for fear that you would alienate me. At this point, Kawashima looked at Alan almost pleadingly.

Ah Lan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Kawashima was Japanese, but looking at the warm tears in Kawashima's eyes, Ah Lan gradually calmed down and said: "Ah Lu said that you are a good person, you are good to her, and you still heal our young lady•••••• I'll tell you." Second young master, he and the eldest young master are twins. The second young master has had tuberculosis since he was a child, and his health has been not good, so the master has not let him go out, the eldest young master goes to school, and the second young master studies at home with the gentleman invited by the master. The second young master has a quiet temperament, and the eldest young master and the young lady go out to play, and the second young master paints at home. The eldest young master is smart and studious is the pride of the Qiu family, everyone envies the old man for having such a good son, the second young master doesn't want outsiders to know that the Qiu family has a son who can't live to be twenty-five years old, and he doesn't want the eldest young master's partner to laugh at him for having a sick younger brother, so he chooses to hide himself and never step out of the Qiu Mansion again in this life. We also asked the second young master why he stayed in the dark study all the time, even if it was to walk in the garden. But the second young master always said that he hoped that the entire Qiu Mansion would be as if there was no him, if the eldest young master and the young lady were used to not appearing without him in their lives, then when he passed away, they would not be sad. In that case, even if he is not there, the eldest young master and young lady will still live as before and will not be affected in any way. ”

Listening to Ah Lan's words, Kawashima sneered while wiping away the tears on his face: "What a fool•••••• why do you want to be in my world if you want to not exist." ”

After the doctor used the medicine, Qiu Ruoyu has been staying by his brother's side. He looked at Qiu Yingsheng's pale face and sighed: "It's not fair, why does my brother have to suffer like this." Daddy, help me, help me make my brother better, or let me bear it for him. I want him to be healthy, healthy••••••"

"Big brother••••••" Qiu Yingsheng gradually woke up.

"Shadow!" Seeing that his younger brother woke up, Qiu Ruoyu's heart finally landed.

Qiu Yingsheng grabbed Qiu Ruoyu's wrist and said in a weak, staccato voice: "Big brother, do you know•••••• before, I always thought, just leave it at that, I don't want to be a burden to you anymore." But today•••••• I, I want to wake up. I want to live. ”

Qiu Ruoyu grabbed Qiu Yingsheng's hand tightly, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, and be willing to wake up." ”

Qiu Yingsheng's eyes reflected Qiu Ruoyu's dark pupils full of concern, and he gasped slightly and said, "I want to live, because •••••• I want to live a little longer, in that case, I can take someone to heaven•••••• I want to accompany her." ”

Qiu Ruoyu touched Qiu Yingsheng's head and took off the wet handkerchief on his forehead, "Why?"

Qiu Yingsheng smiled faintly, in his opinion, this is a question that will make him feel happy" Because, she will be afraid of the cold alone. ”

The sky is gradually getting brighter, but Lan Xue is still unsatisfied, "Shadow, are you leaving, will you come again tonight?"

Facing the sunlight shining out of the window, Ying sighed lightly, "Little girl, stories don't have to be heard every day. ”

"Then •••••• Kawashima, where is it now?" Lan Xue still didn't want the story to end like this.

"I don't know where ••••••, but I think I'm living a good life in this life. Shadow's body became transparent in the daylight.

Lan Xue followed the shadow of her vanishing until she reached the window, "Don't you want to go to heaven with her, why is it like this?"

"I'm a lonely ghost, and I'm no longer qualified to accompany her. However, I am glad that there is no me in her life in this life, everything is new••••••" The shadow slowly disappeared in the sunlight, and only this voice echoed in Lan Xue's ears••••••
