Towards my sister's side, step by step to seek a hug.

Ye Chun slowly opened his arms, waiting to give his sister a tight hug.

It looks like a touching reunion.

That's of course, because Ye Chun, who thought he was dead, is now here in a good way.

Because she turned out to be alive. Live –

"Huh......

The feeling that something was wrong suddenly had a clear outline.

Xia Jing recalled what Ye Ya said a week ago.

- It was my mother who killed my sister.

Assuming that what Ye Ya said is true, the only conclusion is that Ah Le replaced Ye Ya's mother. She first killed Ye Ya's mother and pretended to be the leader, and then attacked Ye Chun.

But Ah Le failed at the critical moment, so Ah Le returned to the state of only one head. Ye Chun barely survived, and then appeared here...... Completely logical, even overly reasonable.

Why did Ye Chun appear at Nangong's call?

Could it be that Nangong knew that Ye Chun was still alive from the beginning, and he had obeyed her orders in the first place?

Yao once said that Nangong and Ye Chun have a good relationship, so it should be like this. Does this also mean that Nangong is not an enemy from beginning to end?

If you think about it from this perspective, you can get an explanation.

Explanations can be obtained, but—

If Ah Le didn't replace Ye Ya's mother at all.

If it was indeed his mother who strangled Ye Chun's neck in the family's mansion.

If Nangong and Ye Chun are companions, but they are not Xia Jing and the others' own people—

"Sister......!"

Ye Ya pulled his legs forward and prepared to hug Ye Chun.

Xia Jing Huoran followed and rushed out.

"Yaya, don't go over!"

Xia Jing shouted, pounced on Ye Ya from the side, and stopped her from hugging Ye Chun.

「…… Yikes!"

The two fell to the ground after a fight.

Xia Jing quickly got up from the ground, and his eyes drifted towards Ye Chun.

The picture that catches your eye confirms the ominous premonition of Xia Jing.

That thing was hidden behind the back.

One of Ye Chun's hands, unconsciously, held an old-fashioned sword.

It was a sword with a double-edged blade.

Connected to the white-gold hilt, the blade of the blade, which is about sixty or seventy centimeters long, is—

"...... sword?"

Ye Ya, who was sitting on the ground, muttered to himself in a trance, "...... Sister?"

Ye Ya's face was full of doubt.

Why does Ye Chun have a sword?

Why did Ye Chun take out the sword at the moment when he was about to hug her?

"Sister...... That's...... Why ......"

"Stand up, Yah!"

Xia Jing protected Ye Ya behind his back and blocked Ye Chun in front of him.

Xia Jing was reluctant to think like this. But the conclusive evidence is in front of us.

This guy ...... Ye Chun's attempt.

To put it bluntly, it is - kill Ye Ya.

"Ya, she's an enemy...... This guy ...... It's your enemy."

"Xia Jing, what are you talking nonsense? This man is my ......."

Maybe it's incredulous, or maybe it's unbelievable. Even though the evidence was ironclad, Ye Ya still condemned Xia Jing in an embarrassed voice.

"That's not right. You're wrong, Yaya."

Mother tried to kill Ye Chun?

That's probably true. The mother of the former patriarch and Ye Ya's sister was ...... that night

exposed his daughter, the eldest daughter who should be the next patriarch......

"This guy...... This man named Ye Chun is the mastermind of this rebellion and the murderer who set fire to your village."

She intended to cause a tragedy.

"The person you saw that night wasn't Ah Le, it was your mother."

Ye Ya's mother must have taken the responsibility for the rebellion, so she planned to kill her own daughter with her own hands.

But she failed.

Ye Chun survived. Not only that, but also recruited Nangong as a subordinate, and has been acting behind the scenes of the prosperity faction.

"And...... The death of Anno's parents is probably also ......."

An Shen and An Li said that they were killed without resistance. Xia Jing has always been puzzled by this matter, but assuming that the murderer is Ye Chun, it can be explained that the family and daughter who thought that they were long gone came to the house alive, and Anye's parents were too late to be surprised, and they never expected that Ye Chun would actually be the enemy.

invited Ye Chun into the house without vigilance, and then after leading Ye Chun into the living room, she was plotted with a knife from behind - once they were attacked, no matter how strong they were, it was useless.

"Impossible."

Ya shook her head desperately.

"Impossible, Xia Jing, don't spray people with blood!"

Ye Ya refused to face the reality and blindly denied it.

It's no wonder that she says she doesn't want to admit such a fact.

Nangong, who was watching the whole process, coldly made fun of such Ye Ya.

"Giggle...... Accept the facts, Yaya. Son-in-law, you are really discerning."

Nangong walked up to Ye Ya and squatted down, lifting her chin as if he were a fool.

"Do you really think that the murderer of Lord Ye Chun is us? Didn't I remind you that a long time ago...... I didn't kill Lord Ye Chun, and no one in the Prosperity Sect was unfavorable to Lord Ye Chun. It was the former patriarch who attempted to kill her, but she missed."

The face that forced a smile was full of superiority.

"You saw it with your own eyes, but you forgot it completely. You can't believe it, so don't open your eyes and turn a blind eye...... It's ridiculous, I'm about to vomit when I'm so weak to save it, I'm so naïve that I have enough pockets. In this way, you dare to proudly call yourself the patriarch...... This taught me how I couldn't stop laughing."

Maybe Nangong knew all this from the beginning.

No, I'm afraid - only Nangong and Ye Chun have a complete grasp of the whole situation.

It is not known what kind of connection Ah Le had with the rebellion, and it is possible that Ah Le was the culprit who originally proposed this plan. At least for Ye Chun and the others, Ah Le's name and existence are excellent tricks.

put all the responsibility for the rebellion on Ah Le, and he cheated to death and hid.

A plan that is both cunning and well-established, and appalling.

"Actually...... You should have died that night, second daughter."

Nangong's words hit Ye Ya mercilessly.

"I didn't expect that in the end, I was out of the world, and you escaped the catastrophe, not to mention, and even the sword was taken away by you. This mistake also led to a bunch of troublesome problems in the future."

Ye Ya's lips trembled.

The strength and determination of the past are long gone.

It feels like an abandoned puppy, weak and defenseless.

"Forget it, it's okay."

Nangong stood up from the ground, as if disdainful of the puppy's existence.

"That's all you're worth now. We want your life, not your people - don't understand what that means? It's okay, I'll understand right away...... So."

Nangong turned his head to face Xia Jing, too lazy to glance at Ye Ya.

Xia Jing suddenly stiffened.

Why is she staring at me?

Xia Jing intuitively thought that she wanted to be unfavorable to herself, but she didn't feel murderous.

In the next moment, Nangong's actions turned Xia Jing's stiffness into confusion.

Somehow she knelt down in a pretentious look......

「…… My son-in-law, the slave and maid have come to meet you."

Then he said with extra caution and politeness.

「…… Huh?"

Son-in-law.

Nangong has always used this word to call me, but I only think she meant to tease, thinking that she is belittling Ye Ya by using my name.

"Abducted son-in-law" - she said this more than once.

There are two interpretations of this sentence depending on the perspective of thinking.

One is a man who mistakenly got on a thief ship and became a son-in-law, and the other is a "son-in-law" who was abducted.

"Giggle."

Nangong smiled sinily and raised his drooping face.

"You're a sinful man, too. Although I don't like you all the time, the deer clan seems to have been born to make things difficult for their friends' sweethearts. It seems that I am not exempt from vulgarity either."

"What ...... you say?"

Now the confusion is gradually starting to turn into chaos.

I don't understand what this guy means.

I don't want to understand.

The sound of confusion that has been there for a while must be just my worry, it should be the sense of incongruity that Ye Chunmu has subconsciously guessed, and this is definitely the case. But, in that case—

Obviously all the truth has been revealed, why hasn't this murmur disappeared for a long time......?

"Summer view."

Someone is calling me.

I turned around.

The one who called me was not Yaya.

"Long time no see. I've always wanted to see you, Xia Jing."

Round eyes.

It looks shy, but it seems to be hesitant, and it seems to be full of longing expression.

Long black hair and dark blue hanfu.

The childish atmosphere hides a beautiful, upright face.

"How, maybe."

yes - I remember.

I've seen this girl before.

Remember a long, long time ago.

I was probably five or six years old, and I guess I hadn't started elementary school yet.

It's winter.

I was playing in the yard of my house, and she appeared next to me unconsciously.

- Is it the first time you see snow?

I nodded with an "um".

- Don't you feel cold?

No, I laughed.

I distinctly remember that she seemed to feel extraordinarily mature.

- You are so lively and energetic.

I'm not called "you." My name is Xia Jing, Xia Jing.

- Summer view? Good name.

What's your name? I still remember, because she talked like a very stinky fart, I asked her like this.

-- I--

I finally remembered what her name was.

- My name is Ye Chun.

"Liar, man."

How could such a thing happen.

"I don't ...... Faith."

Because that's, that memory is.

Me and Yaya. The first encounter between the two of us-

I always thought it was right - it turned out to be just a one-sided misunderstanding on my part?

"I miss it so much. You've grown up, but you haven't changed at all."

Ye Chun lowered his eyes.

Her tone was exactly the same as Ya's. No, maybe Ye Ya is imitating her.

Because Ye Ya said that she admired and respected her sister very much.

"It's just a matter of accident, I'm sorry."

Indeed, the two sisters look very similar.

Ye Chun's appearance is like that of the younger Ye Ya, and his temperament gives people the feeling of a mature version of Ye Ya.

「…… Summer Scene."

Ye Chun came and stood still in front of Xia Jing, who was unconsciously paralyzed in place.

"How tall are you...... What are these glasses? Has your eyesight deteriorated?"

The finger that touched Xia Jing's cheek touched the frame.

"Why?"

Under the gaze of a gentle gaze, Xia Jing struggled to say a few words.

"Why do you do such a thing......

"Do you need to ask this?"

Ye Chun smiled happily.

"To fulfill the promise with you, of course."

"About ...... Definitely."

Conventions?

What did I make with her in the winter snow that day?

「…… Ahh

- Na, Xia Jing.

The memory of the original disconnection was reconnected after meeting Ye Chun.

After she made a snow rabbit, she played with Xia Jing, and then came to the edge corridor and drank the hot milk brewed by her sister.

"It's delicious." Ye Chun said with a smile, looking at her side face, Xia Jing somehow began to beat his heart faster.

Soon it was almost dusk, and Ye Chun said that he had to return home, so Xia Jing smiled and invited her to come over again tomorrow. Let's play together again tomorrow, the snow won't melt so quickly.

Ye Chun showed a lonely smile.

- No way tomorrow.

So when will we see each other again?

Xia Jing probably liked her at that time.

"I want to see you again, we're going to play together again." He stubbornly pestered Ye Chun, who was about to go home, which made her embarrassed.

- I can't guarantee when I'll see you again.

"I don't care." Xia Jing played awkward angrily.

- Ahhhh I'm in the same mood as you, and I hope we can see each other again.

Ye Chun also looked sad. I saw that she seemed reluctant - her cheeks were faintly flushed.

And then—

"That's right......"

Ye Chun, she-

Grabbed Xia Jing's hand in a serious manner.

- When I reach the age of fifteen and reach adulthood, I will be free to leave the village.

It was as if he had a brilliant idea.

It's like sketching a dream for the future.

It's like a look of shame for what I've imagined.

- I will come to see you then, and I will definitely come. So wait until then......

"Ah......h

He said.

I remember she did say that.

- You will be my husband.

In this way, we can be together for the rest of our lives.

"Hmm." Xia nodded yes – even though he didn't understand what it meant to be a husband at the time.

Then, Ye Chun slowly told Xia Jing, who was at a loss, the reason: "Actually, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, and my original plan was to pick you up as soon as I turn fifteen."

Her face seemed to be full of nostalgia and a little lonely.

That day – the day when the outdoors was covered in winter snow.

Not only did Xia Jing have a faint affection for Ye Chun, but Ye Chun also fell in love with Xia Jing at first sight.

Originally, it may just be an emotion that will gradually fade away as time flies and grows up, but Xia Jing really forgot it. If it weren't for such an episode today, I might never remember it for the rest of my life.

- However, Ye Chun did not grow up with the passage of time.

Later, Xia Jing reached the age of going to school and began to communicate with many children of the same age. All the way up from the lower elementary school to the upper grades, and then to the junior high school. During this period, there will inevitably be a specific person who likes it, but the result is no progress, and I will also talk to other people about who is dating whom, and in this way, I slowly grow up in human society.

- However, Ye Chun lives in a closed village and will not meet other boys.

Presumably, in the years she has lived in a village full of women, she has only thought of Xia Jing alone.

The memories of that winter have not been forgotten, only stronger.

The snow in memory never melts.

Looking forward to the appointed day——

「…… But then I got sick."

The disease of the deer.

Like Blue Yang, the body stops growing as a disease.
