The afternoon sun shone through the golden veil in front of the bed and on his body. Flowing golden light and shadow, brilliant and soft. Memphis's face was smeared with a faint golden glow, and his side was extremely handsome, and his aura was more than before, and he looked like a statue.
Mephis's voice was low: "Sister Wang......"
"It's me." I replied in a low voice, as if I was afraid that if I was louder, I would alarm some gods and deprive us of the good time of this peaceful reunion.
He looked at me quietly, and his blank gaze gradually gained focus.
There was a faint sadness on his once high-spirited face, and he saw me and smiled at me. But behind that hint of laughter, there was more of a long and somber sadness. I have a feeling that although we are very close now, I have no idea what is going on in his heart, and I don't know how far away the distance between hearts is, far more than two years apart.
Memphis was once like a hard stone, but now it is like a deep river.
He must have been through a lot, right?
Frustration and suffering can lead to growth, but the process is painful and unbearable.
I raised my hand and gently stroked the top of his short head, which made the palms of his hands itch slightly.
"I used to think I'd never see you again." I wanted to say so much, but my throat seemed to be choked by something, and my fingertips trembled slightly, and after a while, I only said a short sentence: "It's good to come back." ”
A mist gradually formed under his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just leaned his head gently over my shoulder.
Just as before, just as we did when we were young.
At that time, I was the sister he could trust and rely on.
We are each other's only relatives.
Right now...... It's the same.
His experience, you don't need to ask carefully, you know, must not be happy. If he was happy, he wouldn't be what he is now. If he's happy on that end, why should he come back?
He must have bled on his head in the coming era, right? There, his pride, his identity, his prowess had no place......
Memphis, although the future era is good, it does not belong to you.
I used to think that maybe you would heal your wounds and live there. Although you have lost too much in that era, with Carol here, she will support you and accompany you......
But now it seems that everything is not as perfect as I assumed.
I didn't say anything, and Memphis didn't speak. The dormitory was empty and quiet, with the faint sound of river waves, wind, and faint human voices in the distance......
Memphis, I also came from that era, and I knew that the two eras were very different, that it was a time of freedom, of broken faith, and that Egypt, as one of the four great civilizations, was no longer glorious, and how much and how much he felt lost.
Alan's voice came from afar outside, and I was stunned for a moment, I didn't hear the first half of the sentence, and I heard the second half of the sentence very clearly: "Lord Immorton is back." ”
Memphis looked up, and I looked at him, not knowing for a moment what to say to him.
The heavy door outside was pushed open, and footsteps could be heard from far and near.
I was about to say something, but Memphis smiled and shook his head, and whispered, "I know...... Sister Wang and he are in love. As long as my sister is happy, it's not that I can't accept him. ”
The curtain was pulled aside, and Immorton stood there.
Memphis stood up and took two steps forward barefoot. The short shirts that the ladies put on him made him look casual and sleek. Memphis was as physically fit as I remembered, and Immorton looked more polite than he could remember. In fact, they are the same height, and they are all the same vigorous and brave, but Immorton has a wider range of experience, and the calmness accumulated from the vicissitudes of life is also more subtle.
Immorton's expression wasn't particularly surprising, and he certainly had some of the news.
"Pharaoh, welcome you back."
Immorton slowly bowed down, and Memphis said calmly and calmly, "Calm down, Lord Priest." ”
I picked up the golden lotus that was placed next to the bed and whispered, "He is no longer a priest." Because you weren't there, he helped me for a long time, certainly not as a priest. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." There was no emotion in Memphis's voice, and he was quite calm: "You can take off this responsibility in the future." However, there is another thing that I have to trust you. ”
He turned his head and held out his hand.
I watched him quietly for a long time, put my hand in his palm, and slowly took a step forward.
Memphis smiled at me, turned to Immorton and said, "Sister Wang has given everything for you, and I believe you will do the same to her." Later...... Sister Wang will entrust it to you, you have to treat her well and make her happy! ”
"Memphis?"
I couldn't believe that the words just now were said by the Pharaoh's brother, who had always had a strong desire for exclusivity.
"Sister, I know that the life you want to live is not in Memphis, not in this palace. But I didn't understand before, I always felt that I was the one who could protect you, and you should stay with me to be safe and happy. But...... Now I know that I was too immature to think about what you wanted, but in fact, your happiness is not here. Sister, go with him and find your happiness...... The sea and the sky are vast, you can go wherever you want, and you can do whatever you want. ”
I looked at him in amazement.
Memphis?
Why didn't I feel any joy when I heard him say that?
What kind of things has he experienced now that he is so open-minded, so tolerant and considerate...... Transformative?
Memphis, where did you leave that proud, empty-eyed you?
Who stole all my proud brother?
Why isn't Carole with you?
What did you experience when we parted?
