Chapter 86: Keiko's Awakening
Although his true confession was politely declined, the appointment with Shi Lang at the Temple of Literature did not bring too much loss to Mieko Kato. Shi Lang's sincerity and kindness deepened her infinite love for Shi Lang in her heart, and she firmly believed that she would be lucky enough to meet such an excellent man as Shi Lang for the rest of her life, even if she couldn't get it, it was an indescribable happiness and satisfaction to love each other silently.
Besides, for Shi Lang's love, he is not for nothing. Since meeting Shi Lang, Mieko Kato has found herself unconsciously changing, what is this change? She couldn't figure it out clearly, she just felt like she wasn't as confused as she used to be, and she didn't care about anything.
She gradually discovered that in fact, there are many beautiful things in life that are worth cherishing, and life is not all about sorrow and resentment, hatred and killing, but also sincerity and kindness, affection and love between people. And once this seed of love sprouts in the heart, it will immediately grow vigorously in the warm spring light.
As a sister who gets along day and night, Michiko Kato naturally clearly feels the changes in her twin sister, and she finds that Mieko Kato, who used to be silent and cold all day long, has become more and more lively in recent days. When it was time to rest at night, this sister of mine would get into her quilt and talk endlessly like a chatterbox, and the topic would often mention the Daming brocade guard named Shi Lang.
As an older sister, Michiko Kato is very aware of the grudges between her sister and Yoshino in the past, and it is these resentments and resentments that are frustrated in her sister's heart that cause her cynical and distorted personality.
Now that her sister is gradually getting rid of the haze of her soul and coming out of the shadow of the past, she is sincerely happy for her sister. At the same time, she finds that her sister has fallen in love with a person who is absolutely impossible to achieve results and may bring her sister to death, and she feels the need to talk to her sister.
Michiko Kato's conversation with her sister took place on an evening basis.
Michiko Kato sat cross-legged on her bed, sorted out her thoughts for a moment, and then called Mieko, who had just finished washing, over.
"Keiko, come, sister has something to say to you." Michiko Kato motioned for her sister to sit on the bed opposite.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? A serious look, it looks a little weird. Mieko Kato came over, put her arms around her sister's neck, and said playfully.
"Keiko, go, sit on your own bed, sister has something to ask you." Michiko Kato broke her sister's hand away with a serious look.
"Okay." Mieko Kato sat on the edge of the bed opposite her with a childlike reluctance.
ββ¦β¦ Keiko, how has my sister treated you all along? Seeing her sister sitting on the bed opposite, Michiko Kato thought briefly and asked.
"Oh, sister, why did you suddenly ask this, I remember how good you are to my sister!" Looking at her sister's serious face, Mieko Kato felt a little funny, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but get up and walk over and put her arms around her sister's shoulders.
"Don't give me a hippie smile, sit down." Before Mieko Kato could come over, Michiko Kato ordered sternly.
"Yes, Sister!" Mieko Kato deliberately pretended to be frightened, sat on the edge of the bed with her butt upright, pretended to be sincerely frightened, and looked straight at her sister opposite.
"Poof, okay, stop acting." Michiko Kato couldn't help but laugh when she was amused by her sister.
"That's right, that's right, that's what my lovely sister should be." Seeing that her sister was amused by herself, Mieko Kato couldn't help laughing.
"Alright, Keiko, don't make a fuss. Sister asks you, are you interested in someone? Michiko Kato restrained her smile and asked knowingly.
"Hmm...... Sort of! Mieko Kato was noncommittal.
"What do you mean by 'yes', and tell my sister happily, is there or not?" Michiko Kato looked at her sister strangely.
"Sister, it's not that you don't know, people have long intended to love someone, but sister, I'm just unrequited love. Alasβ" Mieko Kato let out a long sigh and lowered her head.
Seeing that her sister's mood suddenly dropped, Michiko Kato got up from the bed, handed a glass of water on the table to her sister, and then, patted her sister's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Keiko, it's not pouring cold water on you, my sister dares to assert that there will definitely be no good results between you and him." Aside from the fact that he already has a crush, even if he doesn't have someone he likes, it is impossible for the two of you to achieve any karma. Don't forget, the special identity between you and me and him. In the context of the war between the two countries, the relationship between you and me and him is incompatible. β
"Sister, but I just can't forget him." Mieko Kato looked at her sister with some pity, as if asking for help.
"Keiko, don't look at my sister like that, my sister can't help you in this matter. What my sister can do is to remind you not to be delusional. This may be a bit of a statement, but it is true. Sister doesn't want to see you go further and further down the dangerous road. Michiko Kato sat down, looked at her sister and said.
"That'...... What am I going to do? Mieko Kato asked faintly.
"It's very simple, forget about that Ming brocade guard, completely forget about it." Michiko Kato's tone was resolute.
"......" Mieko Kato looked embarrassed.
"Keiko, have you forgotten who we are and what the president has taught you? As an Koga ninja, can't you even do the little thing of abandoning your children's affection? Wake up, my good sister! Since the day I joined Koga, I have been doomed to bear a harsh and tragic fate that is different from ordinary people. Allegiance is our only credo.
"As long as we are loyal to the Tao, we can stimulate the supreme potential of our hearts, and we will have a strong will to endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and overcome the difficulties of supreme difficulties. As a ninja, if we can't be honest and can't keep in mind the five requirements of 'wisdom', 'benevolence', 'faith', 'courage' and 'strictness' that the president has taught us, we will definitely not be able to act in the opposite direction with our hearts, and our end may be death without a place to be buried. Michiko Kato said excitedly on her sister's shoulders and her eyes on her sister.
"Sister...... I know. Mieko Kato had never seen her sister so fierce to herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little timid.
"Keiko, you are my sister's only relative in this world, and my sister doesn't want you to suffer any grievances, let alone any danger. Remember, we are ninjas, ninjas who lick blood on the tip of a knife. Well, without further ado, let's get some rest early! Looking at her timid sister, Michiko Kato's tone softened.
Michiko Kato didn't say anything more.
The sisters each lay down on their own beds, thinking about their own thoughts.
The next afternoon.
Mieko Kato, who had not slept all night last night, took the time to come to the main hall of the Temple of Literature alone. In the scene in the hall where she and Shi Lang had a close conversation, she seemed to smell the incomparable and intimate aura emanating from Shi Lang's body again.
Yes, everything seems to be right in front of you, and the scene of face-to-face conversation with the person you like is vivid.
Think about it carefully, my sister's words are all heartfelt, and I should really get rid of this unrequited love as soon as possible. But the truth is easy to understand, and it is not so simple to really do it. How easy is it to completely erase a person you truly love from the bottom of your heart?
Mieko Kato clasped her hands on her chest, and looked fixedly at the statues of sages in the main hall of the Temple of Literature, which she was not familiar with, and her heart fluctuated. She clearly remembered how she felt when she first saw Shi Lang, and it was like a branch that had been ravaged by frost and snow for a long time, bathed in a warm spring light.
At that time, her heart was like a huge warm current rushing in, and this warm current strongly impacted a long-closed corner of her heart. In this corner, there is a sun-bathed seed that longs for love. This seed was forced to close itself off out of instinctive self-defense after being ravaged by an unexpected storm. Shi Lang's sudden appearance made this seed suddenly sprout a desire to soak in the sun.
Could it be that the inner door that I have just opened is going to be closed by the ruthless reality again? Mieko Kato took a deep breath, and then, slowly, exhaled, she was trying to calm her mind.
Yes, people can't be emotional sometimes, and in the face of a cruel environment, it's better to face reality. Thinking of this, a faint wry smile crossed the corner of Kato's mouth, and she turned around and prepared to leave.
The moment Mieko Kato turned around, a figure slammed behind her. Before Mieko Kato could react, the figure had already hugged her tightly from behind.
"Keiko, my little liver, aren't you alone in this deserted temple? Let me keep you company. With rapid breathing, Yoshino's deep voice came from behind him. His big mouth, which exuded heavy bad breath, couldn't wait to kiss Mieko Katen's delicate neck.
"Let go of me, you shameless scoundrel, scoundrel!" Mieko Kato felt a wave of nausea, and she struggled to break free from Yoshino's embrace, but she was helpless and had no strength on her own, and tried several times without success.
"I miss me these days, it just so happens that there are only you and me here, so let's be happy. My little darling! Yoshino's mouth was full of foul language, and at the same time, his two hands around Mieko Kato's chest began to eagerly unbutton Mieko Kato's clothes.
"Nothing can be said this time to make this hateful pervert succeed!" A hint of evil thought flashed through Kato's heart, and she bent forward sharply. Yoshino's body behind him immediately lost his balance, and he couldn't help but lie forward with Mieko Kato's leaning forward body. At this moment, Mieko Kato straightened up and struck Yoshino in the face with the back of her head.
"Ahh
Mieko Kato, who turned around, clearly saw that red blood was pouring from between Yoshino's fingers.
"You little bitch, how dare you be so cruel to me......" Yoshino covered his nose with his hands, tears overflowing from his eyes blurring his vision. He crouched on the ground in pain, cursing incessantly.
"I tell you, don't do anything to me in the future, or be careful that I kill you. Don't think that this girl is afraid of you, it's a big deal to fight to the death! Mieko Kato threw a few words down at Yoshino, who was squatting on the ground, and walked out of the main hall of the Temple of Literature with her hands.
"Okay, you stinky bitch, let's see!" Behind him, Yoshino's vicious invective sounded out.
Mieko Kato strode out the door.
The autumn afternoon sun shines warmly on the body, refreshing and comfortable.
Walking on the streets of Wangjing, Mieko Kato has a feeling of being reborn, and her steps are light and powerful.
