After Xu Duhang left, Lan Xue looked at the direction he left in a daze for a long time, and her mind was always wandering with what Xu Duhang had just said,

"I really want to go back to when I was a child, if only I really went back to the past······ Not only will I never pay attention to crying little girls anymore, but I will never read fairy tales again······ Little one, maybe in that case, we'll all be a little lighter now. Xu Duhang is right, maybe it's because I had too much attachment when I was a child, and when I grow up, I will be overwhelmed by those attachments that I can't forget anymore.

Lan Xue slowly moved her gaze to the sketchbook that Sun Xiaolin had placed on the coffee table, she carefully reached out and picked up the notebook, and slowly put it on her lap.

She held all the shredded pieces of paper in the notebook in the palm of her hand, sorted them out little by little, and spread out a small pile of the sorted pieces of paper on the notebook and put them together again······ Gradually, the little boy lying on the beach reappeared in front of her eyes.

Lan Xue's gaze was deeply imprinted on the little boy's face stained by the bright sun, looking at the gentle, warm face, she smiled bitterly and said to herself, "In that case, I will be very relaxed." If I could go back to my childhood, I wouldn't be clinging to that little boy. No matter how sad and lonely he looks, you must stop clinging to him······ That way, I'll have an easy time······" Lan Xue raised her head and slowly looked at the family portrait on the wall.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that the smile on her face in the original photo was so happy, so cheerful, and so carefree······ The parents around him, although they smiled lightly, the happiness in their eyes was so intense and brilliant.

Looking at her parents in the photo, Lan Xue was almost in a trance, forgetting herself in the smile of her parents.

But at this moment, Lan Xue turned her head suddenly, her gaze swept over the empty living room, and the wheelchair leaning on the edge of the sofa······ Only then did she realize that this family had long since changed from what it used to be, and things were different from people.

There will never be three more smiles together, there will never be such a happy time again, and there will never be the carefree self again······ Dad is gone, Mom is gone, and the only one who remains in place is the crippled self······ Lan Xue lowered her head, tears slipped down in an instant, falling drop by drop on the collaged picture, she looked at the picture that had been wet with her own tears, looked at the calm little boy on the picture, and a cone spread all over her body

"It's just me······ I'm the only one left······ Is this my retribution for sticking to you?" Lan Xue slowly closed the notebook and threw it into the trash can under the coffee table along with the other scraps of paper.

Resting his head on the back of the sofa and looking up at the chandelier above his head, the family photo was accompanied by the bright yellow light and Lan Xue's heartbroken cry in this empty living room at this moment······

"Why do you want to torture yourself like this?" Lan Xue heard the familiar voice in her ears, she slowly lifted her head against the backrest, with tears on her face, she looked at the person in front of her, and said with a light smile: "This is not torture, I just hope that I don't forget the mistakes I have committed······ I'm sorry, Brother Shadow, but I haven't drawn that picture until now. I know that the person you want to give her a Western painting is Senpai. Qiu Yingsheng slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Quanjia behind Lan Xue, and said softly: "Since you know, cheer up and paint that picture for me." Lan Xue cautiously looked at the cloak on Qiu Yingsheng's body, wanting to say something, but in the end she stopped talking.

"Want to ask me if I'm happy now?"

"I ······" Her thoughts were debunked by Qiu Yingsheng, and Lan Xue felt a little embarrassed. However, in addition to being embarrassed, Qiu Yingsheng's faint laughter appeared in her ears

"You're so careless that you forgot that I'm a ghost, and there are some things you don't have to say that I know. Lan Xue was suddenly stunned, yes, she had forgotten that Qiu Yingsheng was a ghost.

After getting along with him for a long time and becoming friends, I forgot about such a special thing. Lan Xue couldn't help but smile and sighed: "It's so good to be a ghost, you can have the power to do anything." ”

"Do you think so?" Qiu Yingsheng's tone suddenly became a little lonely, he slowly bent down, carefully raised his arm, and stretched his palm towards Lan Xue's face.

I saw that although his palm was about to touch Lan Xue's face gradually upward, Lan Xue didn't feel anything, not only did he feel nothing, but what shocked Lan Xue even more was that Qiu Yingsheng's hand actually passed through his face.

Seeing that Lan Xue was so surprised, Qiu Yingsheng withdrew his arm and said, "If I really can do anything, the first thing I want to do now is to help you wipe all the tears off your face." Unfortunately, I can't. Qiu Yingsheng paused for a moment and continued: "However, I can cover your body and bring your body to the bedroom, so that you can sleep well tonight." Qiu Yingsheng's tone was a little playful.

It was this bit of playfulness that made Lan Xue suddenly a little unbearable to continue to ask herself the question she had just asked, but in the end, she still hoped that she could hear Qiu Yingsheng's answer with her own ears, she exhaled lightly and asked, "Brother Yingsheng, are you happy?" Qiu Yingsheng nodded and replied, "Happy." Two wishes have been granted, and I am very happy. ”

"That ······" Lan Xue thought for a while, plucked up the courage to continue asking, "Can you put down the hat on your cloak and let me see what you look like?"

"I'm sorry. Qiu Yingsheng rejected Lan Xue. Although the rejection was something that Lan Xue expected, Lan Xue didn't expect Qiu Yingsheng to refuse so simply.

Qiu Yingsheng turned sideways, paced a few steps, stopped and said, "When all my wishes are understood, I will let you see what I look like······ You'll see me when the person I have to remember remembers me too. "The afternoon sun is mild and bright, just a thin ray of light on the person's body, and the whole body will be refreshed.

Ah Lu helped Kawashima Luya to take a walk in the small garden, and the sun sprinkled warmly on Kawashima Luya's body, making her whole person much more energetic.

In fact, she had already recovered, but Qiu Yingsheng still insisted on asking her to recuperate, and also instructed Ah Lu to help her out for a walk after dinner every day.

Of course, Kawashima Luya understands Qiu Yingsheng's kindness, but she always feels a little weird when she thinks about it.

Before they got married, although Qiu Yingsheng often stayed in the study, at least he could see him occasionally.

But recently, he hasn't seen him once, and he still treats himself as well

"Locked in" in the study, it seems that he has completely put himself in

"Locked in" in the study. I don't see him every day when I eat. What's even stranger is that she is the only one in the whole family who finds it strange.

It's just that Ah Lu reminds herself every time that it was the second young master who asked her to come over and help her go out for a walk, Kawashima Luya really doesn't understand, since Qiu Yingsheng cares about herself, can't she come over to see her?

She gradually began to worry about whether there was something wrong with Qiu Yingsheng's body, she asked Ah Lu what Qiu Yingsheng was doing recently, whether he was not feeling well, Ah Lu didn't know anything, Qiu Ruoyu was busy with the business of the silk village and taking care of the snow marks every day, she was not too embarrassed to ask him, she asked Ah Cheng, but Ah Cheng didn't know, even Ah Lan and the housekeeper answered the same.

Except, though

"I don't know," each of them told themselves that Qiu Yingsheng's body was fine, and told them not to worry.

Although they had the possibility of hiding Qiu Yingsheng's illness from themselves, Kawashima Midoriya could tell from their sincere eyes that they had not deceived themselves.

There's no way, everyone doesn't know, so she won't ask, as long as he doesn't have a physical problem, let him do what he wants.

Kawashima Midoriya felt a little tired as she walked, so she said to Midori, "Midori, let's go sit in the pavilion for a while." ”

"Okay. Ah Lu answered, and helped Kawashima Midoriya into the pavilion and sat down at the stone table.

Midori Kawashima picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the beads of sweat off Midori's forehead. Midori stared into Midori Kawashima's eyes and smiled happily

"Second young grandmother, you are so good to me. Kawashima Midoriya gently put her finger on Ah Lu's forehead and smiled: "Forgetful girl." As I said, we are both 'Ah Lu', and it is the fate of being sisters. I'll be angry if you call me like you did. The smile on Ah Lu's face became even more excited, and she nodded and said again: "Sister, you are so good to me!" As soon as Ah Lu's words fell, she heard someone shouting from beside her

The voice of "sister". She looked sideways and looked around, only to see that Snow Scar was screaming as she ran

"Sister" came in their direction, and behind her was Ah Lan, who was panting after her.

Ah Lu was pleasantly surprised and said to Kawashima Midoria: "Sister, look, it's Miss and Sister Ah Lan who are here. Midori Kawashima turned to the side and beckoned to Snow Mark with a smile on her face

"Snowmarks, I'm here. Snow Scar saw Kawashima Midoriya waving to him, and his pace quickened, but in the blink of an eye, he ran to Kawashima Midoria's side.

As soon as Snow Mark ran over, he firmly grabbed Kawashima Midoriya and didn't let go, it seemed that he had just played with the soil, and all the dust on Snow Mark's hand was stuck to Kawashima Midoriya's hand.

She looked into Kawashima Midoriya's eyes and didn't speak, just smiled. Gradually, Ah Lan also chased after him.

Ah Lan saw that Kawashima Midoriya was stuck to the soil in her hand by the snow marks, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "I'm so sorry for the second young grandmother, Miss just played with soil in the yard and made your hands dirty." With that, Alan stepped forward to pull the snow mark away

"Miss, if you pull the second young grandmother like this, the second young grandmother will not be able to play with you. No matter how Alan persuaded him, Xueji just wouldn't let go, and he looked reluctant.

The persuasion failed, and Ah Lan had to explain to Midoriya Kawashima

"Second young grandmother, Miss may be lonely. The eldest young master went to the west of the city today to discuss business, and there is no one to play with the young lady······" Seeing that Ah Lan was a little embarrassed, Kawashima Midoriya said with a smile: "It's okay, I play with Snow Marks, I haven't played with Snow Marks for a long time." You and Ah Lu are also very tired, you go to rest, I will accompany the snow marks. Kawashima Midoriya smiled and patted Snow Scar's shoulder, and said softly, "Let's play with my sister today." Snow Scar still didn't speak, still smiling happily and looking into Kawashima's eyes.

In the pavilion, only Kawashima and Snow Mark are left, and Snow Mark is sitting next to Kawashima obediently, bowing his head and playing with the embroidery pattern on Kawashima's cuffs.

Kawashima smiled and stroked the snow marks of the hair

"Snow marks are so good, as a reward for Sister Snow Marks to play games with you, huh······ What's the best thing to play? Is hide and seek good?"
