She muttered under her breath

"Sister Manxi, do you know? After so many years, I really want to find someone to complain about, my dad used to be a glamorous corporate executive, and now he lives on social assistance;

My mother used to be a famous artist, and after my brother's accident, she went crazy and ran away from home, and now her whereabouts are unknown, and I don't even know if she is still alive;

My brother...... I'm still in jail. ”

Miao Miao hammered her head in annoyance, and her voice gradually became hoarse

"I want to resent, I want to hate, I don't think I deserve such a fate.

But I don't even know who to blame or who to hate.

Our family is miserable except for me, and I am at least free, and I have a life that can be called life.

Sister Manxi, please tell me, who should I hate? ”

Su Xi shook his head slowly, puzzled

"Miao Miao, why do you have to live with resentment?

What your brother did was his own choice, you and your parents did nothing wrong, and all four of you, except for your brother, were all joint victims of this case.

You don't need to be so self-reproachful and live so full of resentment. You don't need to hate yourself, and you don't need to hate your mom and dad, it's a crime committed by your brother alone. ”

Miao Miao raised her face, her face was pale, and the smile on her face was distorted and desolate

"Sister Manxi, if things were really that simple, it would be fine. But I can't forgive myself.

I thought I loved my brother very much, but in the end, I selfishly chose to protect myself.

What I can't accept is actually this kind of me.

It wasn't until it had already happened that I realized how much I regretted it.

I hope it's me who goes to jail, and even if I can exchange my death for my brother's innocence, I'm willing!

If I could do it all over again, I would never say that testimony. ”

Su Xi was startled and stood up suddenly

"What? Is your brother innocent? He, didn't kill anyone? ”

Miao Miao shook her head painfully

"I ...... I do not know. I'm not sure! However, I did lie about his alibi.

At two o'clock in the morning, I was indeed with my brother. ”

Miao Miao's empty eyes stared at the ceiling, but the words she spit out were so clear and unquestionable

"I'm in his room."

Rewind to eight years ago.

At about half past ten the night before the crime, Miao Miao watched "Annabelle" on her tablet computer for a while in her room, and after watching it for 20 minutes, she didn't dare to watch it because she felt very scared, so she prepared to go to bed.

But the previous twenty minutes of the plot had been replaying in her mind, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

After tossing for a long time, Miao Miao had no choice but to get up and confirm the time, it was half past one in the morning of the next day.

It turned out that I had been suffering from insomnia for almost three hours.

Miao Miao, who was completely sleepy, decided to fight poison with poison, and after watching the film, maybe she wouldn't be afraid after knowing the ending.

But he didn't dare to look at it himself, so he secretly ran to his brother's room next door.

She also thought that her brother might have fallen asleep by this time.

但哥哥向来对她有求必应，就算大半夜吵醒他，应该也不会生气吧。

Miao Miao sneaked into her brother's room with a tablet, and when she entered the house, she was surprised to find that her brother hadn't slept yet.

And instead of wearing pajamas, he wore a neat coat, jeans, shirt, and a knitted jacket on the back of the chair at hand, looking like he was ready to go out.

Miao Miao was a little surprised

"Brother, you don't sleep at night, why do you still wear so much?"

Zhou Jincheng closed the laptop in front of him and smiled at her, "What about you?" Why don't you sleep at night? ”

Miao Miao was laughed gently by her brother, and her flirtatious heart was out of rhythm, and she blushed and whispered

"I ...... I watched a horror movie, and I watched a little bit of it, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. So, I want to ask my brother to watch it with me. ”

"Silly sister."

Zhou Jincheng rubbed Miao Miao's head and ruffled her hair.

Miao Miao smelled the fragrance of the shower gel emanating from her brother's body, and couldn't help but sniffle vigorously.

The girl stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around her brother's lean waist, and swayed, dragging out her voice and saying coquettishly

"Brother~ As you said before, I will help you write a semester's essay, and you will promise me ten things."

“…… Miao Miao, I seem to have completed twenty of your unreasonable requests. Why go to buy you fried rice cakes in the middle of the night, and why skip class to accompany you to the amusement park...... Besides, the transaction of 'essay for requirements' seems to be last year's old calendar, okay? ”

"I don't care! I don't care! ”

Zhou Jincheng couldn't resist her, so he had to pick up his sister

"Sit here, brother will accompany you."

Zhou Jincheng patted the bed and instructed, "You sit here, leaning against the head of the bed, so comfortable." ”

And he himself sat in his original place, that is, in the chair next to the desk.

Zhou Jincheng found a mobile phone holder and put Miao Miao's tablet on the desk to support it, so that both of them could read it.

Miao Miao watched her brother go about his business, and her own careful thoughts also moved around

Why did my brother sit so far away? Then when I see the scared plot later, won't I be able to ask my brother for comfort!

Just wanted to protest and let his brother sit closer, Zhou Jincheng looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and said softly to Miao Miao

"Miao Miao, just watch for twenty minutes, and then go back to the room and go to bed obediently."

"But ......"

"No, but, girls can't go to bed too late, I see you're too pitiful today, my brother has already made an exception for you, but don't take it as an example, girls will hurt their skin if they go to bed too late, understand?"

"Oh." Miao Miao pursed her mouth and didn't reply, but she was still a little sweet in her heart

My brother cares about me, cares about my skin, cares about my health, and cares about whether I'm beautiful or not.

Twenty minutes were pretty fast.

Unexpectedly, the content of the 20-minute movie is quite boring, not as exciting as the first 20 minutes, just in the transition stage, they are all going through the plot, there is nothing too scary, and she naturally has no chance to make a fuss and ask her brother for comfort.

Miao Miao was a little disappointed, but she was indeed not afraid, and sleepiness came up.

Zhou Jincheng glanced at the wall clock on the wall again, urging her to go back to her room to sleep.

Miao Miao reluctantly stood up, walked to the door, glanced back at her brother, and saw him pick up the sweater and cardigan jacket on the back of the chair.

So I was slightly surprised

"Brother, are you going out so late?"

"Go to bed! Also, don't tell Mom and Dad about tonight. ”

Zhou Jincheng had a smile on his face and did not answer positively, but he undoubtedly urged his sister to go back to his room.

Miao Miao walked out of the room backwards, and was about to close the door, but she opened it unwillingly, just when she saw her brother open the curtains of the room.

The street downstairs emitted the light of a street lamp, softly illuminating the figure of the boy.

A gust of wind blew, and the curtains rolled up and covered the boy's body, shaking and shaking, like gentle waves.

——This is Miao Miao's mind, about the last realistic memory of her brother.
