Xiu doesn't know how long it took.

All he knew was that he was slowly sinking into darkness, and everything around him felt very cold. But there is... The light that can't be blocked by the eyelids.

It's not like sunshine... But...

Xiu found himself unable to describe the light.

He wanted to see the light. What is it that gives off such a glow?

His consciousness began to return, and his body gradually regained a little consciousness. He suddenly found himself in a state of softness. His body was cold, but he felt a faint warmth in front of him. Someone seemed to be carrying him.

Delusion, no one usually cares about him, and now that he is covered with sweat and soil, who would want to touch himself.

He tried his best to open his eyes, but he saw a patch of long snow-white hair.

His father's hair was resolute, and his own hair was soft. And this piece of gray hair is different from theirs. It exudes a faint smell of sunshine, smooth like fine silk sent from the East, and soft as a swan's soft pillow. It's like... It's like...

"Mom..."

A small voice alarmed the owner of the snow-white patch. She glanced back, "Ahhhh You're awake! ”

The voice is not as hard as that of adults, nor is it as hard as adults. There is a little girly voice in the soft voice.

The girl hurriedly put Xiu down and asked him to rest against a tree for a while.

Xiu struggled to regain his scattered consciousness, he breathed deeply, letting his gaze gradually regain the light and find focus.

Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced at the girl who was squatting beside him. She wears a half-length nun robe with white trim on a black background, black cotton socks wrapped around her legs, and black boots on her feet. The standard dress of a church nun, but the holy nun's dress is covered with dirt stains. Waist-length snow-white hair was supple and scattered over his shoulders, and his sapphire-like eyes were staring at Xiu's face tightly.

Looks like she's a little older than me.

"You... Who is it? Why do you care about me?" Xiu asked.

"If I don't care about you, you'll die there!" The girl was obviously a little annoyed, and she wiped the dirt off her body, "What the hell are you doing when your physical strength is so exhausted?" Is someone chasing you? Kaslana Castle is there, why not seek refuge? ”

"No one is chasing me." Xiu tried his best to make a polite smile... But it's hard to see "I live in the castle, I came out to train myself, but my body is so bad that I accidentally fall down..."

"Your physical strength is completely overdrawn, can you not fall. Needless to explain, I'm trained, and I can tell if I'm physically exhausted. You have to get a break right now. Come with me to the castle. After saying that, the girl was going to help him up, but Xiu was resisting.

"No, for some reason I have to finish my training. I've already done 3 laps, and I'm only seven laps away. There's still a lot of time left for today, I can finish it slowly, thank you for your kindness..."

"But you're going to die here!" The girl suddenly became angry, "Why don't you value your life so much!" You are overdrawing in this way, you have used your strength tomorrow today, so what will you do tomorrow! Use the day after tomorrow! You have to now..."

"My name is Xiu Kaslana, this is the territory of the Kaslana family, and in the name of the second son of the Kaslana family, I order you to leave..."Xiu paused for a moment, "Order you to leave me!" As he spoke, he was about to break free from the girl's hand.

But as a result, the hand was grabbed even tighter.

"Didn't you hear!" Xiu yelled a little uncontrollably, "Leave me alone!" ”

The girl was not angered by Xiu's roar, nor did she leave because of Xiu's anger. She just looked at Xiu quietly and didn't say a word.

Xiu sat on the floor dejectedly, tugging at his hair in frustration.

After a long time, the girl spoke, "Have you lost your breath?" ”

Xiu nodded.

"Can you listen to me?"

Xiu nodded again.

"Can you tell me why I'm so obsessed with exercising?"

"Because... At least that way, my father might not hate me so much. ”

"Does he hate you?"

"Hmm. My father has never asked me anything else for so many years, except for one thing, hoping that I can practice the family's gun fighting skills well. But my body has not been up to the requirements of the practice...

"Very early on, Grandpa Arthur tested me. He did a lot of tests, a lot of tests, but I just didn't pass. Right now... He's given up training on me. Because even if I practiced gun fighting, I could only make my body collapse.

"Last night my father drank again and made a lot of noise in the bedroom. By the morning the maids had quietly cleaned the room, and I used to hope that my father would drink some water to relieve his headache... But he told me to pour out the water and bring him wine.

"I wonder if if I could meet my father's requirements and that he wouldn't drink every day... At least, my father wouldn't scold me every day. ”.

The girl raised her hand and gently placed it on the top of Xiu's head, stroking it softly.

"Has my father been so excessive all these years?"

"Father?" Xiu looked up suspiciously.

"Hmm." The girl nodded slightly, "He's my father, too, but I haven't seen each other for almost eight years." Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. My name is: Karen. Karene Kaslana. Shao Kalian withdrew her hand, "Remember my brother, I'm your sister." ”

Xiu looked at the girl with a mischievous smile on her face in a daze, and did not come back to her senses.

After a while, he chuckled softly.

Ah, it's my sister. Is... A brilliant light, so dazzling, so holy. That's what I am... A sister you've never met?

Xiu lowered his head, "But sister, I still can't go back." I... Want to continue my training. ”

This time, Karen was really angry, "Are you so unserious about your life!" ”

"Sister!" Xiu said loudly, "Sister... They won't understand me. My body can't be compared to my sister, but... I can change that! I can exercise slowly and make up for the gap little by little, so I have to work harder and harder than others..."Xiu gritted his teeth tightly, "What's more, this time, it was my father's request, and he asked me to do it very specifically, this is my father... It's the first time you've asked of me! Xiu raised his head and looked closely at Kalian's blue eyes, "At least, this time, my father will be satisfied with me..."

Karen looked closely at Xiu's purple pupils. These eyes were filled with the determination that flowed from these eyes, just like the eyes of the other Valkyries on the Honkai Front. But after perseverance, there is also... Pleading like a puppy.

Karen knew she had no choice but to do it.

"Do you have to finish the run?"

"Hmm!" Xiu nodded firmly, and shook off a few pieces of dirt stuck to his hair.

"So, let's do it together."

"Huh?"

"I said, let's be together." Karene patted the dust off Xiu's head and helped Xiu tidy up her clothes. At least make Xiu look less embarrassed.

"I'm your sister, my brother is affected, and my sister can't watch from the side." Karen gave Xiu a big smile. Without waiting for Xiu's reaction, Karen took Xiu's hand and ran in the direction of the sun.

"Xiu, you have to remember!" While running, Kalian turned around and smiled at this Xiu, "You can't stop until my sister stops!" ”。

Many years later, Xiu still vividly remembers the scene when he first met his sister. At that moment, the sun shone through the side of Kalian's face. Long flowing white hair, glowing pale skin, and a refreshing smile. At that moment, Kalian was holy like a light, and her hand was tightly pulled by that light.
