Chapter 43: Dusty Memory
I can't remember how many times I've ended a story with a swollen nose and a swollen face, to be honest...... It's sadistic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ji Meng took the girl to change into a set of her clothes and came to the living room again, while I was like a prisoner, bowing my head on the sofa and not daring to make a sound, like sitting on pins and needles.
Boss Cao, this bastard...... Why don't you say goodbye?
"Shall we have a drink?" Liyue brought a few glasses of water, the girl didn't take the glass, she was supposed to sit with Ji Meng, and then got up and rubbed next to me, like a sticky little kitten, she kept laughing sweetly, and kept muttering my name in her mouth.
"Ahem...... Cough. "I subconsciously shifted my position, and I had to be reserved at this time.
"Excuse me...... The girl's name? ā
The girl paused for a moment, and the reaction was obviously that she thought I should know her: "Zixiu...... With Scarlet Leaves...... Joke? ā
"Oooh...... Scarlet leaves, huh...... Let me ask first...... We...... Are you a familiar friend? ā
This is the most critical question, depending on the age, it should not be a classmate, how can a guy like me be as introverted as he knows a girl other than a classmate in school?
"Zixiu?" Scarlet looked at me stunned, and suddenly reached out and touched my head, "Fever?" ā
I shook my head, took out my phone, and gestured to her, "Phone...... I called you, you say, six years ago? What happened six years ago? ā
"Six years ago...... Father died. Scarlet Leaf's smile gradually retracted, "Because...... Scarlet leaves. ā
And then ...... Sub-repair...... was taken away. Don't? Scarlet touched her head and asked me, "Amnesia?" ā
Ji Meng was still listening with relish, and a mouthful of hot water suddenly squirted out. Wait a minute......
"Father?" If memory serves, my dad died six years ago.
I pointed at myself, and then at Scarlet, "Father, you say?" ā
Scarlet nodded, "Father...... Scarlet Leaf ...... Sub-repair...... It's family. ā
The plot has unfolded like a god, I have lived for more than 20 years, and it is the first time I know that I have such a sister who is still lost for many years!
Could it be that my father is innocent and dedicated to his mother on the surface, but secretly has an illegitimate daughter with another woman behind his back? Oh, my God...... Is this the curse of our Cao family's inescapable wife-controlled man!
And then he was approached by someone else, and he couldn't stand the blow of this reputation, so he committed suicide?
It's a good guess, but my dad died of illness.
The key is...... I'm not impressed at all...... This sister.
"You're my sister?"
Scarlet Leaf shook her head, "Yes...... Family. ā
My gaze shifted to Ji Meng and Rei Yue.
The three of them looked at each other.
"Family but not sister?" Retsuki asked. Strange to say, when Retsuki talked to Scarlet Leaf, she seemed to be very defensive, holding me all the time, and shaking her head constantly.
Unfortunately, things have come to a dead end, and this scarlet girl, who is suspected to be my sister, seems to be lacking in expression skills, so we have never been able to figure out what she wants to say.
Probably Scarlet Leaf also noticed this, and raised his hand to keep gesturing, and he was about to die.
"Soul Master...... Villain...... Scarlet leaves ....... angry...... Kill them all! ā
Hey, hey...... You seem to have mentioned something terrible, huh?
"Six years ago...... What's going on? ā
Scarlet sighed reproachfully and pulled me to my feet.
"Where are you going?"
Liyue and Ji Meng followed.
We went to the kitchen on the first floor, and Scarlet Leaf ran into the storage room at the back of the kitchen, constantly feeling the cracked bricks on the wall, not knowing what he was looking for. But seeing that she is so familiar with my home, has she really stayed in my house?
After a while, Scarlet Leaf came out of the dust, threw himself into my arms, and handed me what he had found.
It's a burnt photo, only half of it remains.
Although the photo has turned a little yellow, my young handsome face is very clear--now, it seems to be only about one-tenth of the handsomeness of a teenager, but it is still handsome anyway, and it is fine.
In the photo, I grinned handsomely at the camera, and a little girl about 10 years old was thrown into my arms?
The little girl is also cute...... Uh-huh?
Scarlet Leaf stretched out her finger and introduced to me:
"Zixiu...... Scarlet leaves. ā
I felt a lot of pressure behind me.
"Zixiu...... You have a younger sister, but you want to abandon her and let her wander outside alone, so pitiful, even if you are not the same mother, you are still her brother! Where is your responsibility? ā
Ji Meng is going to give me a negative score for my evaluation again, but Lianyue has not shown any intention of punishing me yet, is she brewing emotions?
Scarlet Ye grabbed Ji Meng, "No...... Not a sister...... It's family. ā
"Isn't my sister family?" Ji Meng was obviously stunned.
Scarlet took my hand.
Zixiu said...... Scarlet Leaf ...... Will it be...... Wife...... Family. ā
Ji Meng's small universe is about to explode again!
The iron fist of justice is accumulating!
"Hey, hey, hey...... There's no way I'm going to do such an unseemly thing, can I? I am...... A good young man with three positive views, what is the forbidden love of brother and sister...... Thinking about it isn't something I'll do either! I'm a man of knightly honor! ā
At this time, I can only use Form 2 to save my life!
"You really don't remember anything?" Liyue stopped Ji Meng, "including...... The presence of scarlet leaves? ā
I shook my head, "If I had even the slightest memory, I would never have allowed my lovely sister to suffer outside." ā
Retsuki frowned. As a squinting-eyed Horcrux, hurry up and inherit Zhuge Liang's intelligence and answer my questions, wife!
"The whole thing is weird. Since you said that your overall memory is not missing, but Scarlet Leaf did stay with you, then...... There is only one possibility? ā
I swallowed my saliva and silently waited with Ji Meng for Reyue's speculation.
"There's a good chance that the memories in your head have been tampered with. But why others do this, why they can do it, I'm afraid only Scarlet Leaf can answer you. ā
"Scarlet Leaves...... Scarlet leaves. "I suddenly realized that I have three younger sisters now, but the more creatures there are, the better!
A loud grunt came from Scarlet Leaf's stomach.
"I haven't eaten all the time...... Let's get something to eat first! ā
I was sent to buy instant noodles at a kiosk in town.
"Hey, Zixiu, when did you come back? I've been coming back a lot lately. "Cao Er, the owner of the commissary, was a good friend of mine in junior high school, and of course my relationship with him was based on sharing the Little Yellow Book. Although I was admitted to the city's key high school with a very high score, he couldn't extricate himself because he was immersed in the little yellow book, so he had to drop out of school and come back to help his family do some small business.
So, learning is the most important thing.
"Uh-huh...... Leave it alone. I suddenly realized something, and patted Cao Er stunned, "Hey, did you say I used to have a younger sister?" The beautiful kind? ā
Cao Er laughed and patted me on the shoulder. "Brother, have you been single for too long, and you are hallucinating? You're having a chic life in the city now, what beauty doesn't have a chance to touch? Don't always hide at home and watch movies, you have to taste more of the outside taste, like my brother, I don't have much chance...... By the way, let me tell you, I heard that someone saw a middle-aged man come to our village with two peerless beauties last night, do you know whose relatives it is? I heard others say that the uncle's temperament is called a domineering, those two beauties...... Hehe, the kind that makes people drool when you think about it, it seems that the big brother on the underworld came to the countryside to take refuge. ā
I snorted a few times in agreement, disapproving: You guy, what you say is the same as what you have seen with your own eyes - the face of the old ancestor is not recognized, and he is embarrassed to talk nonsense with me here. As for those two beauties, one of them is my wife, a guy like you, I'm afraid I won't have this blessing in this life!
Calm down...... This kind of thing still can't be flaunted casually, so as not to cause extraneous complications, I'm a reserved guy.
I came home with a pile of instant noodles and stood at the door, and I had a whim.
What do they talk about when I'm not around?
I sneaked through the window to look through.
Ji Mengzheng enthusiastically shared some of the remaining biscuits in the luggage with Scarlet Leaf, Scarlet Leaf devoured it, and she ate whatever Ji Meng took, and she didn't pick at all.
How did she live before......
Think about it and suddenly feel good stuffed.
But the wife has been sitting opposite the scarlet leaf, holding a glass of water in her hand, and her eyes have been staring at her, as if she is guarding against something.
A woman's mind...... It's hard to guess.
Let it be.
......As soon as I came back, Scarlet got up from the sofa, threw herself into my arms, and gave me a daily hug.
What a sudden happiness......
"Must be hungry, right? I didn't have time to buy vegetables at home, can my brother cook noodles for you? ā
"Uh-huh!"
I put down the bag and suddenly remembered, "Have any of you seen where Boss Cao went?" ā
Liyue and Ji Meng shook their heads, "Didn't he sleep in the living room with you?" ā
"I didn't see him when I woke up in the morning."
Well...... Never mind. There is no need to worry about Boss Cao's safety, the other party is a traitor in troubled times. Although it has become strange now, on key issues, it should be worth entrusting.
WhewW...... I got a sister who was related by blood, and suddenly I became very excited, and I even cooked noodles more carefully.
"Cao Zixiu."
The only one who can call me by my name like this is my tsundere wife.
"Uh-huh...... Are you going to help, Retsuki? ā
Retsuki stood next to me, her eyes fixed on the pot where I was cooking.
"Don't you think...... The appearance of the scarlet leaves...... Is it abrupt? ā
"Abrupt?"
"Before...... A sister who has never appeared...... It was only in the period after the start of the Battle of the Emperor Spirit that it suddenly reappeared. ā
"But...... Did we call her first? ā
"That's the crux of the matter." "Scarlet just told us that she had been living in a welfare home before, but when she asked about life in the welfare home, she was hesitant. Moreover, if the welfare institution knows that she has you as an immediate family member, it is impossible not to contact you, no matter what happened before. ā
"In this way, she must have deliberately failed to tell the welfare institute." I turned off the fire, "We should find out what happened six years ago, so that Scarlet Leaf thinks that he killed our father." ā
"But ......" Retsuki was still trying to explain something, but Scarlet Leaf suddenly ran over and hugged my back.
"Zixiu...... It's a scarlet leaf...... You...... Don't speak! ā
"Okay, okay...... "What a stupid sister, actually eating the vinegar of her future sister-in-law." After eating the noodles, Scarlet Leaf will tell us about the past, okay? My brother really doesn't remember at all. ā
"It's not...... Brother. Scarlet Leaf blushed.
"Not my brother?" I haven't reacted yet.
"It's Zixiu!"
Forehead...... Don't go on with the previous topic of indecent love...... Otherwise, Ji Meng would definitely beat me.
