“…… In fact, when my brother was just discharged from the hospital, although we hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, we still used a lot of phone calls. ”

Chu Jiajia recounted the story of the past with the "photographer brother" in a calm tone, and Rococo also listened carefully on the side and did not intervene much.

"Although my brother has to go to a lot of real wild natural environments to shoot, so he often can't be contacted in a short time because the radio signal can't be connected, but as long as the signal can be connected, my brother and I basically talk on the phone once a week, just like before, on the phone, my brother will tell me all kinds of things he has seen and heard in the outside world, even if it is just a little thing, as long as I am interested, my brother will tell me very seriously.

In this way, about half a year later, my brother said on the phone that he had completed the photos of the scenery in the catalog I wrote to him, and added some additional humanities and beautiful scenery that he had seen along the way, and the rest only needed to do some editing and post-processing on the computer, and the photo book could be completed.

"At that time, I was really happy when I heard my brother say that it would only take about a month to get this photo book that he made for me, not only because of the photo book itself, but also because the end of the trip around the world meant that my brother was able to go back to the hospital to visit me. In this way, I was immersed in joy and joy, counting the days day by day with anticipation...... However, during the month of waiting, I never received any calls from my brother except for the first week, and even when I did, he never answered.

"I was confused and worried, maybe because my brother was busy editing the photo album for a month so he didn't have time, or maybe because my brother finally closed his hair and didn't shoot a certain scene, so he went to make up the photo temporarily...... In this way, while comforting myself with various reasons, I called my brother every day or two, hoping to get a reply, but in the end, my brother never answered my phone again, nor did he take the initiative to contact me. ”

Speaking of this, although Chu Jiajia's tone was still calm, her eyes were already a little watery, and she put the photo album in her arms on her lap and raised her hand to gently stroke the writing, and Rococo, who had already vaguely expected some clues on the side, also looked at this photo album with a heavy expression.

"Eventually, one day a month later, I received a package in the hospital with this photo book in it...... and a letter. There is no doubt about the photo album.,It's what my brother told me.,The one he compiled for me to shoot beautiful scenery in various regions of the world.,It's just that I received the long-awaited gift.,But I wasn't happy at all at that time.,Because my brother he had already made this gift.,But he chose to send it to me instead of visiting me and handing it over to me in person.,I couldn't contact my brother for a month before.,I suddenly had a very bad premonition.。

Sure enough, on the letter sent with the photo album, I finally learned the bad news that almost broke me down again at that time...... Brother he died.,After half a year of running around the world.,And then after editing this photo book.,Brother he died because of the deterioration of his condition.,This letter written by my brother before leaving and this photo album was sent to me by my brother after his death.。

"After reading that letter, I realized that my brother had lied to me...... More than half a year ago, my brother was not discharged from the hospital at that time, on the contrary, my brother's attending doctor told him that there was no solution to his illness with today's medical methods, and he might not even be able to delay the deterioration, and at most he only had about a year to live.

"One year is too short a year for my brother, who loves the art of photography, to make any decent efforts for his dream of becoming a world-famous photographer...... However, the brother said in the letter that he could at least use the time to enjoy photography one last time, as well as ...... Help my 'sister' fulfill a little wish. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Jiajia's words finally stopped, Rococo raised his head, and saw the black-haired girl clutching the quilts on both sides of the photo album tightly, her teeth clenched, and her eyes were red and tears flowed silently.

"Jiajia ......"

Rococo's call eased Chu Jiajia's mood a lot because of the painful memories, and with a snap, Chu Jiajia's tears fell on the hard cover of the photo album on her knees, and then she gently wiped them away with her hands.

“…… Obviously, he can not do this, right? Brother he...... My brother has given me so much, he has kept me from dying of endless grief and depression, and he has told me how beautiful and beautiful the world is except for the hospital...... There was only one year left, even if it was short, if not enough for him to fulfill his ideals, but at least, enough for him to do some other things he wanted to do.

“…… This 'photo book' is really beautiful, but in fact, if you take a closer look, you can find that this is not a published official photo book at all...... My brother is just a rookie photographer who is not famous, how can a magazine publisher agree to help him publish such a photo book with a messy theme? Just for a person like me, he even did not hesitate to overdraft his remaining half a year of life to travel around the world to take pictures, and then painstakingly edited and sorted out the finished photo album and made such a book himself...... It's really a waste...... Stupid, right? ”

"That's not the case!!"

Chu Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and raised her head a little confused, she ...... Was it yelled at?

In fact, Luo Coco didn't know why he not only didn't comfort the sad Chu Jiajia, but suddenly roared, but inexplicably, just after Chu Jiajia finally said something like that, a complicated feeling of anger and distress suddenly appeared in her mind, making her cry out involuntarily.

"No, it's not like that...... I, I know, maybe it's not appropriate for me as an outsider, but I don't think things will be the way you think things will be...... It's not a waste, absolutely not! Because ......"

Luo Coco herself can't tell what kind of feeling this is, as she said herself, for the past between Chu Jiajia and the "photographer brother", she is obviously just an "outsider", but I don't know why, at this moment, Luo Coco blamed Chu Jiajia for Chu Jiajia's seemingly self-deprecating words, but some words came out of her mouth from the heart.

It seems that if that "photographer brother" was sitting in front of Chu Jiajia now and hearing these words, he would also say it without thinking.

“…… Because, Jiajia, you are his sister! ”

After a period of silence, Luo Keke suddenly realized that he seemed to be reckless, no matter what his position was, even if he wanted to persuade Chu Jiajiake, there was no need to use such a radical attitude, but to her relief, after Chu Jiajia heard her words, she did not look angry or unnatural, but just after being stunned for a moment, there were tears on her face, and she laughed like that.

"Yes...... If it were 'brother' and he heard what I just said, he would seem to say the same thing. ”

Saying this, Chu Jiajia raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and then held the photo album in her arms again, but her eyes looked at Rococo with strange eyes.

"Just now, for a moment, I thought that you really seemed like ...... Coco."

"Uh, uh?"

“…… Nothing~"

In Rococo's unexplained gaze, Chu Jiajia seemed to be in a much better mood all of a sudden.

"Well, thank you, Coco...... Actually, I know in my own heart why my brother did this, although I still have some doubts about whether I am worthy of being his gift, but in any case, since I have received this heart from my brother, it is absolutely impossible not to cherish it properly. I have already decided that I will take my parents' share and my brother's share to live well and find the joy of life in this cruel world in my own way...... So, thank you, Coco, thank you, for being able to be a friend to someone like me, I really ...... Really, really, very happy. ”
