In the evening, the lights are on, and a little yellow light sets off a quiet and peaceful night.

Autumn in southern cities has a huge temperature difference between day and night. Maybe people who were still screaming in T-shirts and shorts in the morning must be shivering with cold wrapped in big cotton jackets now.

At this time, Li Yun and the two were still walking on their way home. The warm yellow streetlamps on both sides of the road fell on them, stretching the dark shadows for a long time.

"Hiss~" Li Xiaoxiao shuddered and wrapped the blue and white school uniform tightly around her body.

"Is it cold" Li Yun frowned and looked at Li Xiaoxiao, who was trembling and huddled into a ball, and couldn't help but clench the hand that Li Xiaoxiao was holding.

"No," Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her cold arm and said, "It's just that I'm wearing a little little little today, and the wind is always blowing into my clothes, and it's cold."

"Then let's go faster" Li Yun took Li Xiaoxiao's hand and took a big step to speed up the pace, "I'll be home soon"

"Hmm" Li Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, and also quickened her pace. I don't know why all of a sudden it's not cold, but my heart is still warm......

Downstairs for residents of Chaoyang Community

Li Xiaoxiao stood downstairs and raised her head, silently looking at the familiar place in front of her.

- Or is it the same as before, nothing has changed?

"It's different, the people who were once familiar have gone" Li Yun also looked up at the tall building in front of him like Li Xiaoxiao. The thin lips spat out a word that was colder than the cold wind.

Li Yun understood at a glance what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking now, just like having mind reading.

"Ah" Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head in frustration, and said in a decadent tone, "It's gone," she thought she was still there. Those neighbors who have lived together for more than ten years......

"Fool" Li Yun's tone was still cold, but his eyes were full of deep distress, "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed"

"I know," Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "but I still can't bear it", after all, I have some feelings after getting along for many years.

"Fool" Li Yun sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to caress Li Xiaoxiao's soft hair, and said helplessly, "Even if everyone leaves you, you still have a sister, don't you?"

Li Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Yun suddenly. The big apricot eyes were red, with warm tears.

"Sister" Li Yun held Li Xiaoxiao's face with both hands, her eyes were extremely firm, and her tone was extremely serious, "I will never leave you"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Yun in a daze, and the tears in her eyes couldn't hold back, and they fell down with a click.

"Sister" Li Xiaoxiao cried and looked at Li Yun aggrievedly.

"Okay," Li Yun wiped away Li Xiaoxiao's tears with her thumb distressedly, "Mom said, girls can't cry casually"

"Hmm"

Eight o'clock in the evening

Li family

Li Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa in a daze, her eyes empty and unfocused.

"Alas," Li Yun looked at Li Xiaoxiao like this, and sighed lightly.

Li Xiaoxiao has been in this state since she entered the door, and she didn't listen to her no matter how she was called. Li Yun had no choice but to sit on the side.

What Li Yun didn't know was that when she first set foot here, she was in even worse condition than Li Xiaoxiao.

"Sister" Li Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at Li Yun with empty eyes.

"My mother used to tell me stories here," she said, pointing to the couch beneath her.

Li Yun followed her hand and looked at the sky-blue sofa, as if she remembered something.

Li Xiaoxiao has been afraid of the dark since she was very young, but it was not too serious at that time. I still remember that at that time, Li Xiaoxiao pestered Li's mother to tell her stories every day on the grounds of being afraid of the dark, and every time she was on this sofa, Li's mother sat on her and lay on Li's mother's lap. Every time Li Yun taught Li Xiaoxiao a lesson because she was worried that Li Mu was tired, Li Mu would always smile and gently say to Li Yun that it didn't matter. And Li Yun's anger would disappear every time after seeing Li Mu's smile.

"Hmm" Li Yun silently grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's shoulder and asked her to rest her head on her shoulder.

Li Xiaoxiao leaned on Li Yun's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

She didn't cry because her mother said that girls can't cry casually, she has to listen to her mother.

Li Yun lowered his head and looked at the weak and helpless Li Xiaoxiao in his arms with a dark and deep look, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at the empty air in front of him.

- Mom, I'll protect my sister.

- Dad, Mom, I will definitely avenge you.

Li Yun's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

- I will let them suffer their due retribution.

In a trance, she seemed to see her parents who were gradually moving away hand in hand, and their faces with kind and happy smiles gradually disappeared into the light.

……

Twelve o'clock in the evening

Li Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were lying on the bed in the room where the Li family's parents lived before, and the two turned their backs to each other and did not speak.

Although Li Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Her eyes were wide open, and she faced the boundless darkness, and fear gradually rose in her heart.

She only recovered from her grief at almost eleven o'clock, and Li Yun stayed with her silently for a few hours when she lost consciousness, without speaking or disturbing her.

- My sister can finally rest, and I can't make trouble for my sister. Isn't it just black, what's there to be afraid of?

Li Xiaoxiao kept comforting herself in her heart, and kept taking deep breaths gently.

Although her movements were deliberately very light, for fear of disturbing Li Yun, how could Li Yun's acuity not be able to detect her small movements.

"What's the matter, are you still afraid of the dark" Li Yun turned around and faced Li Xiaoxiao's back.

"I ......" Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say that it was okay, but the words were all in her mouth, but she was still stuck by the fear of her heart. After being entangled in his heart for a while, he still decided to turn around and face Li Yun.

"Hmm," Li Xiaoxiao replied in a muffled voice. Because the room was very dark, she couldn't see Li Yun's current expression clearly.

"Alas"

Li Xiaoxiao heard Li Yun's sigh, and her heart tightened.

- Sure enough, is it still troublesome for my sister?

Li Xiaoxiao was thinking in a depressed mood. And in the next second, Li Yun's arm wrapped around her shoulder. And at this moment, she is being held in Li Yun's arms.

"Sister...... Sister"

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for two seconds before reacting.

"With my sister here, don't be afraid" Li Yun's voice was still cold, but her tone was much softer than before.

Li Xiaoxiao Zheng was stunned, and his mind kept echoing what Li Yun said. Gradually, the fear in my heart disappeared little by little.

"Hmm"

At this moment, her heart was filled with warmth, and the dark horror and coldness seemed to no longer exist.

"Didn't you say you had something to say home this afternoon," Li Yun said in a cold voice. quietly diverted Li Xiaoxiao's attention.

Sure enough, after Li Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, the blood all over her body immediately became hot, and all of them rushed to her head, making her face red in an instant.

"This ...... This ...... this," Li Xiaoxiao couldn't say clearly.

"Huh?" Li Yun raised his eyebrows slightly in the darkness, and his tone was raised, full of doubt.

"This ...... It's just," Li Xiaoxiao held back a big red face and hesitated for a long time before she said vaguely, "It's me...... I have someone I like."

"Huh?" Li Yun was stunned.

Favorite ...... Person?

"Oops~" Li Xiaoxiao shy shrank into the quilt and covered her head tightly with the quilt.

Li Yun was stunned again.

What's the matter, I haven't said anything yet!

"Xiaoxiao," Li Yun shouted at the big bag in the quilt. There was no response.

"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun patted the big bag. Still no response.

"Xiaoxiao," Li Yun frowned and raised her voice slightly.

Just when Li Xiaoxiao wanted to be unwilling to respond as before, she was shivered by the cold air that suddenly poured into the quilt and forgot to speak.

"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun lifted the corner of the quilt and called Li Xiaoxiao in a serious tone. At this time, the moon poked its head out from behind the black clouds, and the faint moonlight passed through the transparent glass and gently sprinkled on the room. Through the moonlight, Li Xiaoxiao could see Li Yun's frowning brows and her serious eyes clearly. Suddenly, all the blood coagulated, and the flush on his face receded.

"Sister......" Li Yun spoke again when she was about to speak.

"Come out, isn't it stuffy inside?"

"Ah" Li Xiaoxiao was stunned again.

She thought her sister was angry, but she was worried that she was stuffy inside. Suddenly, the blood was boiling again.

She slowly slipped out of the covers again.

"Just say what you have, don't get into the quilt," Li Yun said sternly.

"Hmm" Li Xiaoxiao's heart was sweet at the moment.

"So," Li Yun suddenly changed his words, "who is the person you like?"

"Ah~" Li Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became hot, "Is this...... It's my sister...... Acquaintances"

"Oh" Li Yun replied lightly, and didn't pay too much attention to who that person was.

"So, when did you fall in love with him," Li Yun asked suddenly.

"Hmm~" Li Xiaoxiao was asked by Li Yun's words, "When will it ......?"

"I don't know," Li Xiaoxiao suddenly said as if she had a sudden realization, "Maybe it was the first time he sent me back to the dormitory!" ”

"Oh"

"The day before yesterday I was in a bad mood and he gave me a candy"

"Hmm"

"That candy was sweet, the sweetest I've ever tasted"

"Hmm"

"He's the kind of person who looks cold, but is actually very gentle at heart"

"Hmm"

……

Li Xiaoxiao praised the so-called person she liked for a long time, and Li Yun had been listening silently to the response.

"So, do you want to confess to him" Li Yun suddenly spoke, but it made Li Xiaoxiao stiffen.

"I ...... I don't know," Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her voice muffled. He also quietly picked his fingers.

"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun silently clasped Li Xiaoxiao's fingers with his hand, and his voice was unprecedentedly deep, "Dad said before, if you like it, you have to fight for it, no matter what the result is." At least, if you have worked hard for this, you will not regret it.

So, my sister doesn't want you to have any regrets."

"But I don't know if he likes me too"

"Just try it"

"But ......" Li Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and couldn't see the emotion in her eyes.

- Daddy said that! At least, there will be no regrets.

"Hmm" Li Xiaoxiao seemed to have made up her mind, and nodded firmly, "No matter what the outcome is, at least I have tried"

"Hmm" Li Yun touched Li Xiaoxiao's head in a distracted manner, and his voice seemed a little distant and unreal, "At least I tried"

- I hope that person likes Xiaoxiao too.

——I hope Xiaoxiao's confession is successful!

- I'll take care of the rest! Xiaoxiao, you just need to be happy.

"Hmm"

"Alright, let's sleep! Classes are coming tomorrow."

"Hmm"

May you have a good night's sleep......
