Time...... Back to ten o'clock this morning.

Xingqi Orphanage, a private orphanage in K City.

Min gently pushed the door open.

This gray and cramped room looks very dull.

"You...... Don't eat something? Min walked to the center of the room and looked at a man in a wheelchair with his back to her.

The person in the wheelchair, with a female surname from the back, appears to be very young, with long hair, but it is only shoulder-length. She didn't answer Min's words, but looked seriously at a painting hanging on the wall.

"Really...... It's rare for me to come back once on Chinese New Year's Eve, and you don't have to, right? ”

Min reached for the light switch on the wall and turned the light on...... Immediately the room became very bright. The man in the wheelchair slowly turned around.

It was a beautiful girl about eighteen years old. The girl was dressed in a white gauze dress like a doll, and she looked at Min in front of her with a vacant look.

"Don't ...... that" Min sighed and said, "I know you don't want to see me. Never mind...... In fact, I also know that even if it is this time of Chinese New Year's Eve, you will not want to see me. ”

A beautiful girl in a wheelchair raised her hand slightly. The sleeves of the dress were so long that they almost covered half of the hands, which showed that the clothes were worn without regard for physical condition. In fact, this is also a dress designed by the girl herself.

"I've already given the painting to the dean. You go out right away and turn off the lights. ”

The girl just said something faintly.

There was no hatred or joy in her eyes, just sheer emptiness. That's what makes Min even more unbearable. But she had to face it.

She and this girl can't be disconnected.

After leaving, she closed the door and walked back to the outside room. On the sofa there sat a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties wearing glasses. The man's hair was slightly gray, and his face was very kind and kind.

"Dean......" Min sat down and said, "Deep rain she ...... Doesn't seem to want me to meet her. I hope you can help her more, I am afraid that her life will become more and more difficult in the future. ”

"That's okay, her drawings are actually very good, but ...... Without funding and sponsors, it is difficult to open a large-scale solo exhibition. She's been working hard lately......" The middle-aged man added, "Also, although she doesn't seem to be willing to accept you, ...... Occasionally, I will ask you about your condition. Where do you work now? ”

"My current job is okay and my income is stable. Dean, I'd better go back tonight. Since Shenyu doesn't want to see me, then it doesn't make much sense for me to stay here. ”

"Well, in that case, I won't keep you any longer...... This is the painting that Deep Rain asked me to give you......" The director of the orphanage handed over a tightly wrapped square package.

Min, then, left the place. This one...... She lived in an orphanage for more than twenty years. As an orphan, it is very difficult for me to live and find a job. Because she is disabled, Shenyu still lives in an orphanage, and she can't live with the money she can earn from her paintings alone. As the dean said, without the support of sponsors, Shenyu would not have been able to hold a large-scale art exhibition and increase its popularity.

And ...... for yourself Entered this apartment again.

On that day, she really wanted to die. Although hesitating, although I also thought of deep rain...... However, if he really died, would Deep Rain feel pain?

No way?

Because she is so indifferent to herself, she doesn't even have her own existence in her eyes. I don't even hate myself.

In the heart of the deep rain, there is no self at all.

So, at this time of day, where to go? Back to the apartment? No, I don't want to go there at all.

At the same time, Xingchen also returned home.

In the huge luxury living room, there are brand-name imported furniture everywhere, and my brother lives alone, but it is not inconvenient.

"Xingchen ......" Xingyan, who was dressed in ordinary home clothes, said to his younger brother, "Don't you really plan to move back in?" I know you've always hated me for your eyes...... But ......"

"Don't talk about it, brother." Xingchen waved his hand and said, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's say something happy." What about Mom and Dad? Did you send a postcard? ”

"I guess I'll send a courier on the first and second days of the new year. I've already called my parents, but ...... Father's voice sounded not very good......"

"What's wrong?"

Although it is expressed in a somewhat subtle way, it seems to be ...... The mother's health is not very good. ”

"What? How is it bad? ”

"I wanted to ask my father for details, but my father said that for the time being, my mother would have to check for a while, and he wanted me to rest assured that the medical conditions in the United States were very good and there would be no problems. But it's clear that my father was actually worried. I asked him if he wanted me to go to the United States, but my father refused, saying no. ”

"So you didn't come back?" When Xingchen heard this, he felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Although Xingchen has always had a resentful attitude towards her mother, after all, she is a biological mother, and she is not in good health, so she is naturally not very comfortable.

"If it's not a serious illness, it's fine......"

"Father really can't tell me clearly...... Xingchen, why don't you move back in? It's also more convenient for the two of us brothers to be together, and I live alone in such a big house, so I'm not used to it. ”

This villa does occupy a considerable area, and the number of rooms is amazing, and Xingchen has even been lost in it before. In such a big house, my brother lives alone, which is indeed a little lonely.

But here's the problem...... Can I come back and live on my own?

"I'm sorry, brother......" Xingchen shook his head and said, "I am very satisfied with the place where I live now, and I don't want to come back for the time being." Brother, don't think too much......"

"Okay, forget it, it's good that you're here. Let's stay here for the night tonight, and leave again tomorrow and the new year. ”

The relatives of the Bian family are all abroad, so there will be no relatives to move around during the New Year.

"Brother, did you buy fireworks?"

"That's it...... I didn't think it was necessary, so I didn't buy it. Anyway, the family is together, just have a reunion dinner. I went out to buy groceries early this morning, and I'll go to the kitchen to get ...... later."

"Are you alone? I'm here to help......"

"It's fine. Well, then you go to the refrigerator first and take out one of the chickens inside......"'

The kitchen of this home is also very large, there are more than a dozen stoves at a glance, and there are refrigerators one after another. Xingchen was in the kitchen, helping to cut some vegetables and meat, and when he looked at his brother cooking a pot of soup, he said, "Brother, aren't you thinking about getting married early?" Living alone, and not hiring a helper, although your cooking skills are okay, but you usually have so many jobs to be busy, it's better to have a virtuous helper, right? ”

"I have no plans to get married in a short period of time, but you are Xingchen, do you have a favorite girl?"

"What's the ...... Who's going to like my 'one eye' ......"

The elder brother, who was stirring the soup, stopped moving. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Xingchen, the matter of your eyes, I ......"

"Don't talk about it." Xingchen shook his head and said, "That's not my brother's fault. ”

Yes, it's not my brother's fault. The stars are well aware of this, but ...... When he said this, he felt that he was extremely hypocritical. In the balance of hatred in his heart, his mother is actually more inclined to his brother than his brother. Even if you know that this kind of thinking is negative, bad, there is no way to make yourself think otherwise.

As night falls, all the food is ready to stop. In the dining room, the two brothers sit opposite each other. A table of delicious food is the result of the hard work of the two.

Xingchen suddenly felt a sadness in his heart......

Will this be the last meal I will have with my brother? In a few days, it's time to carry out the blood instructions......

After "Brother ......" began to move the chopsticks, Xingchen's eyes were obviously a little moist: "In the future, you will take care of your parents more......

"Well, of course...... But why do you say that? Don't you take care of your parents? ”

"Me? How can I be as capable as you...... I, really, really envy you, brother...... To be so liked by my mother ......"

Xingyan sandwiched a piece of braised pork, gave it to Xingchen, and said, "What do you say, you haven't drunk yet, you're drunk?" What do you envy me, eat vegetables. ”

This meal can be regarded as relatively warm.

At ten o'clock in the evening, neither of them had the intention of watching the Spring Festival Gala, Xingyan wanted to go to the study to do some more work, he was still very busy after the Chinese New Year, the school was going to hold several academic seminars, and Xingchen was not in the mood. I was going to go back to the apartment, but I thought it would be better to stay here for one night.

After separating from my brother, I walked down the long corridor to the second floor and followed my memory to my room.

This empty and huge villa seems very lonely at the moment, and it is so late......

Xingchen couldn't help but feel a little crunched.

"Really...... It's not carrying out the blood instructions, what are you afraid of......"

At this time...... Behind Xingchen, around the corner of a corridor, there was a trailing trail of blood!

The bloodstains stretched out on the ground, followed by the stars behind them!

Moreover, the outline of the bloodstain was clearly ...... A man who crawls on the ground alone!

Min is staying in his room in the apartment at the moment. Today's going to see Shenyu was also decided by her with a lot of courage.

However, it turns out that Shenyu, after all, faced himself and couldn't untie that knot.

is also understandable, after all, I have that kind of relationship with her......

At this moment, she was lying alone in bed, although she knew that many residents went to Hualiancheng's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but she had no appetite at all.

If it weren't for the deep rain, she wouldn't have been able to eat anything.

She picked up the package on the table, and bit by bit, tore open the package outside, she wanted to see what kind of painting the deep rain had given her......
