20. The Past

When Su Jisheng woke up, what he saw was the terrible scene of blood flowing all over the place, and the old man in front of him.

His head hurt as if it was about to explode, and the only memories that echoed in his eyes were the sight of his mother bringing him a bowl of water and urging him to drink a bowl of water.

A bad premonition came over me.

Really.

The next second, he caught a glimpse of the corpses of his parents lying on the ground, their hands clasped tightly with each other, as if nothing in the world could separate them. At that moment, it was as if he was suffocating. Stumbling towards his parents' corpses, Su Jisheng let out a heart-rending roar

"Daddyβ€”"

"Mother-"

He hugged the bodies of the two men hysterically.

"Why, why did you leave me alone?"

Two lines of clear tears rolled down, and he sat on his knees in a daze, and lost the whole world in this way.

He was also a high-spirited young man, but now there is no longer any light in his eyes.

Looking at Su Wei who was standing on the side again, Su Jisheng was full of hatred to the extreme.

"You killed my father?"

Su Wei walked towards him step by step, and his scheming eyes reflected a bit of majesty.

"It's not important, you just need to know that from now on, you are no longer the young master of Huai Yufeng, but the son of Su Wei, the prime minister of the dynasty"

"Remember, your name will be Su Jisheng in the future"

The young man's eyes were filled with anger, and an uproar made his emotions boil to the extreme.

"Why?" He said coldly.

"I am the only one who can save you"

"This is your only chance to live." Su Wei stared at him and said word by word.

Since then, the seeds of hatred have been planted in his heart, and although he doesn't know if Su Wei is the murderer of his parents, he definitely can't get rid of it. And he urgently needs an outlet to vent.

Therefore, from the first time he saw Su Li, and saw her reaction to himself, he set up a game of chess in his heart, so as to start the game between her and him.

――――――――――――――――――――

Feeling the coldness coming from her forehead, Su Jili forced herself to open her eyes, and the corners of her cyan clothes gradually became clear from blurry, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Brother.

Forced to sit up, she was still a little dizzy at the moment.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Why don't you wake me up when you come"

Su Jisheng bowed his head and was silent at first, and after a while, he slowly spoke.

"I'm sorry"

The boy's eyes were still as calm as water.

"Brother, don't blame yourself," Su Jili tried his best to pull out a weak smile from his mouth.

"It's the playfulness of Ji'er who got into the water, and it's none of my brother's business"

"It was Ji'er who didn't listen to his brother's dissuasion and insisted on going to the pond"

Su Jili said with a serious face.

"It wasn't my brother who was wrong all the time"

The boy seemed to be touched by something, and spat out a few words from his mouth with difficulty

"Thank you...... Thank you"

"Thank you, you are my brother, my family, and the person I have to protect all my life" Su Jili stared at the young man's good-looking eyes and said with a serious face, as if he was making some great promise.

The two were silent for a long time.

"I haven't asked my brother yet"

"Huh?"

"My brother's name isβ€”"

She was still answered by a long silence.

"If my brother doesn't want toβ€”" After a long time, she couldn't help but speak again.

"Su Jishengβ€”"

"Dad said, my name is Su Jisheng"

"Su Jisheng, Su Jili," she murmured.

"When I heard it, it was a brother and sister, did you say brother?" Su Jili blinked his big eyes and said innocently

The boy nodded a little stiffly, but he remembered unbearable memories in his heart.

As it grew dark, she heard the chirping of birds in the trees not far away.

"Brother, go and eat, it's not good to be hungry"

Su Jisheng hesitated for a moment.

"You don't have to worry about Ji'er here, if your brother is hungry, you should be worried"

The young man hesitated to get up and agreed.

"Will my brother come to see Ji'er tomorrow?"

The distant back froze in place, and at the end, he finally nodded.

"Brother, you have to talk," Su Jili shouted at the distant back.

Laughter spread in the bottom of my heart, and I suddenly realized that being sick was not as bad as I thought.

Su Jili smirked

"Tomorrow is another day to look forward to"

―――――――――――――――――――――

Day 2

"Brother does he have something to eat," Su Jili looked at Su Jisheng who was guarding in front of the sickbed and suddenly asked.

Su Jisheng shook his head.

"What does that brother like to play?"

Su Jisheng shook his head again.

His father watched closely, and he spent all his time practicing on weekdays, and he had very little time to rest, let alone play.

"How can this be good," Su Jisheng thought with some concern

"When I get better, I promise to take my brother to eat, drink and have fun, and make up for all the debts I owe before"

"I'll talk about it when you're well."

Su Zhenli couldn't wait to get sick at the moment, and took Su Zhensheng to mess around. It's a pity that the illness is like a mountain, and the once vigorous she is long gone.

"Brother has ever practiced martial arts"

"Will be a little"

"Has my brother ever read?"

"Read some"

"It's so good, when I was a child, my mother taught me to read, but then she left, and I never wanted to study hard anymore" The light in Su Li's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Your mother?"

"That's right."

"My mother is a very gentle person, she will teach me to read, write, and draw, although I was still young at that time, but I still vaguely remember something"

"Later, my mother fell ill, her health deteriorated day by day, and she didn't have too much energy to teach me to read and write."

"One day she left us suddenly, and at that time I asked my father if my mother didn't want us anymore, and my father was red-eyed and said that she had just gone to a far away place and couldn't come back for a while."

"But I know that my mother is too far away, so far away, that she will never come back."

"Do you miss her?"

"Of course I want to, I dream every night, I can always dream of her, dream of her gentle smile at me"

"I miss my mother too," Su Jisheng looked down at his cyan clothes and said silently in his heart.
