Chapter 194: Rimlyn's Winter Cherry Blossoms (7)
"Thanks," said Attarani, "sister, she's asleep again." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Why don't I understand every time you speak. β
"My sister is very weak and can't get out of bed, she falls asleep a lot of the time, and lately she has been sleeping longer and longer, sometimes for a whole day," Atalani rewrapped the paper bag and held it in her arms, feeling the heat transfer, "I don't want to wake my sister, she needs sleep." β
"So you choose to sit outside all the time," Rhine glanced at Atharani, she hugged the paper bag tightly, her face was close, and the whole person curled up together, such a figure coincided with her brother in Rhine's mind for a moment, although the two personalities were completely different, Athalani's appearance was not so much protecting the hard-won food, but more like leaning on the small paper bag, "You are cold?"
Atalani smiled stubbornly at Rhein, her face flushed from the cold.
"It's hard to get the clothes of the division, and I won't even bring you that kind of thing. β
"It's okay, we'd be grateful to have the food brought to us, but we'd be embarrassed to bring the clothes as well. β
"Yes. Rhein whispered.
The two fell into silence, and the two of them were talking and talking, when suddenly they entered into an uncomfortable silence, and there was silence all around, as if everything was silent, except for the occasional sound of the wind.
"Give. Rhine couldn't endure this atmosphere again, he had been living in silence all along, but every time he faced this girl with cherry hair, he also spoke, and such a special situation caught him a little off guard.
Atalani watched as Rhein silently took off his coat and handed it to him.
"Is that okay?"
"I have a higher affinity for the ice element than the average person, don't worry about me. β
"Thank you," Atalani hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to understand that Rhine had made up his mind, and then took the coat and draped it on his back, "It's so warm, give her the clothes when my sister wakes up." The moment he put on his clothes, Atalani looked surprised.
"Why is Mr. Rhein so nice to us?"
"Don't add the word sir, I'm young. β
"I'm sorry. β
"Probably, because we are all the same," Rhine said, looking up at the night sky, with a sigh, "my parents, my sister, are dead. β
"I'm sorry," Atalani bowed his head and apologized again, "Reminds you of something sad." β
"It doesn't matter," said Rhine, "it's in the past," he turned to look at Attalani again, "it's good that you can still have a sister, some of them are already lonely." β
"Actually, my sister is not my real sister. β
"Huh?" Rhine was puzzled.
"My sister and I are not related by blood, the only thing we have in common is our own fate," Attalani said. The war took away all my family, took everything around me, at first I was also confused, every day was spent in a mess, because I didn't know how to continue to live, I didn't know what the meaning of continuing to live was, until I met my sister, my sister and I were the same, no family, no everything, day after day repeating the pale life, maybe the two of us have an indescribable sense of closeness, I recognize her as a sister, she treats me as a sister, and since then we have lived together, it's incredible, obviously it has been such an uncomfortable time before, When there is suddenly a 'family' around me, all of them have become no longer gray, and I feel that there is still some light in the future, although I can't say clearly, but I can feel that after meeting my sister, I no longer feel that life is a painful thing. β
Rhine was suddenly stunned, he seemed to understand, why this girl with cherry hair gave her a special feeling, she is really different from others, everyone just lives to live, they only need food, all the time is used to find food, gradually they become numb, looking for food all the time has become the only thing in their lives, and what this girl wants is not food, what she wants more than being able to fill her stomach is just to have someone she can rely on, so she has not become a walking dead like everyone else, and her eyes still have not lost their brillianceγ
"Look at this," Atalani took out an object in his hand, Rhine had seen, it was in Attarani's house, the only "furniture", a pot of cherry flowers, "my sister said, this flower was suddenly found in the snow, in that white everywhere, there can still be such a bright color is wonderful, she said that it is with the presence of this cherry flower, she can persist without losing the faith in life." β
"Your sister is a strong person. Rhine said.
"What kind of person is Rhine's sister?"
Rhine closed his eyes, and the pictures of the past flashed one by one, the long flaming red hair that was completely different from the Plath family, and the pretty face with a beautiful smile like a sunny smile that had never been removed, were the charm of his sister Lena Plath, who had always been an older sister in the young age of the three of them, and encouraged them with a smile to withstand the countless gossip. So Rhine and Lyle are very fond of their sister, they have lost their parents, so their sister is all they rely on.
It's just that the nostalgic figure disappeared too quickly, and so suddenly, when the world suddenly fell into complete darkness, Rhine, like his crying brother, couldn't bear it at all.
That strong figure is gone, but life still has to go on, Rhine is the elder brother, he only has that younger brother left, so now, it is up to him to take care of everything alone.
Although, it was not until many years later that he understood the mistakes and extremes of his approach.
"My sister is the same," Rhine choked up a little, but he quickly adjusted back to his usual cold tone, "She's strong, much stronger than I am. β
"Yes," Atalani plucked a petal and stuffed it into Rhine's hand, "I'm sorry to remind you of sad memories, but Rhine is a good person, and I don't want Rhine to be as negative as I used to be, so this is for you, this flower has brought strength to my sister, and my sister has brought me strength, but Rhine's sister is no longer there, so let this flower add strength to you." β
Is it strong, yes, in this offensive reality, you really can't survive without being strong, Rhine thought to himself.
"You're such a strange person, I only helped you deliver food twice," Rhine looked at Athalani's flawless face, then held the petals up to his eyes, cherry blossoms filling his vision, "It's like your hair." β
"Sister she said the same thing," Attalani smiled, "this can be used as proof that we met, I don't think I will forget the Rhine." β
Rhine looked at the petal and was silent, and after a moment, held it in the palm of his hand.
