"Sister."

His voice, even after so many years of separation, was not unfamiliar to me when it rang in my ears again, because this voice had echoed in my nightmares countless times, and this moment was like those nightmares that had haunted me for years. My fingertips trembled in the palm of his hand.

He seemed to feel it, moved closer to me, raised his other hand, and slowly reached for my cheek.

"Sister......

But at this moment, I had no room to pay attention to his voice, to avoid his hand, for it was then that I realized that he had to raise his head to look at me, and he had to raise his hand to touch me.

Because of him, in a wheelchair!

"You-"

I stared at the scene with wide eyes, but I couldn't believe my eyes at all, until his hand had already touched mine, and some sweaty palms were ironed against my cheeks, although there was no such hot temperature, but the moment it touched it, it seemed to stir up a spark, and made me tremble.

"Your legs!"

"You're finally back."

"Your legs ......"

"Sister, I'm finally waiting for you to come back."

“……”

I wanted to speak again, but I couldn't say anything, and I looked at him looking at me, as focused as ever, as if he wanted to engrave my figure in his eyes, and refused to let it go again.

That frightening obsession.

I didn't know whether it was fear or shock, but I took a step forward, and a trembling hand reached out to him, slowly touching his knee.

I don't know how a person in a wheelchair is different from a normal person when he is touched, maybe not at all, at least his face has not changed at all, not even the slightest loss that he can only sit and look up at me, still looking at me with ecstasy, and muttering, "I finally, wait until you come back." ”

I slowly squatted down, looking at his two legs that were placed there in a regular manner, which used to be how unruly the two legs, all day long, I like to run all over the mountains, all relying on these two legs, and even ignoring the ban again and again, climbing over the wall and crossing the house, also relying on these two legs.

I looked up at him, "How could this be?" ”

He looked at me with a smile, but there was not the slightest pain in his eyes, but a gleam of pleasure: "Sister, remember, I used to like to come here the most." ”

“……”

"Remember?"

"Yes."

"But at that time, this was not the Sister Tower, but the Hongyan Tower. I like to climb over the wall to come in, and it's always at this time, because that's the only time I can see my sister. ”

My hand on his knee suddenly turned cold.

Yes, I didn't forget.

In the days he spent in Hongyan Building, he would often come, of course, not to come in openly, but to ignore the ban and come in over the wall again and again. The first time I came in, when he stood by my bedside and watched me from my sleep, until I woke up from the burning gaze I felt from my dreams, and met his quiet but bright snake eyes in the night, which made me almost scream.

At that time, he was only a teenager.

But it scares me.

Of course, the fear is not just the kind of eyes that stare at me in the night.

Now, he still looks at me with that kind of gaze, the world has changed, he and I have changed too much, age, identity, status, and even their respective bodies, but his eyes have always remained the same.

I trembled and said, "I remember, every half month, you come to see me; Every time, it's this hour, and I sneak in through the wall without telling someone. ”

He looked at me with a smile: "Does that sister know why I only come once every six months?" ”

Just......

He said it was as if he was supposed to come every day.

But when he looked at him, it seemed that it really should have been. I was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know, because every time you see me, you're going to be beaten up." ”

He looked at me with a smile: "I knew that even if my sister was in Hongyan Building, I couldn't hide anything from my sister outside." ”

“……”

yes, you can't hide it from me.

I knew very well that every time he saw me, he would be punished by his mother to kneel and beat him on the leg with a rattan stick, asking him if he dared to come again, and if he did, he would break his leg.

Of course, the woman couldn't have really broken his leg, but she just injured him, and he was able to run and jump for a while, so he dodged the guards again, climbed over the wall to see me, and then when he went out, he was injured in the leg again.

Sometimes, I wonder where the terrifying attachment in him comes from, but if I think about it carefully, I may understand that blood is thicker than water, he is like a father, and like his mother, and not many women can really bear to hit their son's leg like this, he doesn't admit his mistake, and she doesn't stop beating until she is scarred, and even when I go out of Hongyan Building, I find that his leg has fallen some old wounds.

I put my arm on his knee and said, "I know your leg has been injured many times, but after so many years, it should be healed." ”

This time, he fell silent.

His lowered eyes were momentarily dim under the full lights around him, and when he looked up at me again, he was calm and dark: "That year, my father was gone. ”

“……”

As soon as I heard this, my body, which had been a little tense, collapsed.

I think I'll probably never be able to be a downright bad guy in my life, because I can't be hard-hearted.

Although I cried countless times, and even gritted my teeth with hatred in many nights and dreams, the news that only confirmed his death still made my heart ache.

And the person in front of me is someone with the same blood as me.

No matter what I do to him or how he treats me, but sometimes, maybe between heaven and earth, only me and him are the only ones in common.

Thinking of this, the original guard was also lowered, and I held his knees, choking slightly.

A slightly cool hand slowly and gently stroked the back of my hand.

He leaned over to my ear and whispered in a voice so gentle that it was almost unreal—

"I also know that you are actually married."

“……！”

My heart trembled, and I hurriedly raised my head.

He just looked at me like this, and there was nothing else in his eyes that were close to me, and the dull darkness made me feel palpitations, and I was about to push it away, but his hand that caressed the back of my hand suddenly clasped me, and the strength of his hand almost crushed my finger bones, but his voice, and his eyes, were still so gentle.

"You're married......"

Touched by his hand, the coolness from him touched my skin from his fingertips, and soon spread all over my body, and there was a feeling of being spread and swallowed by nightmares.

My throat choked: "So what? ”

“……”

"You know very well what the ending will be when I leave Hongyan Building? And now, I'm married again. My husband is on the first floor of the tower. ”

He stared at me, "It's different. ”

My face sank suddenly.

When he said this, his voice was still calm, but I could clearly hear a hint of blade-like fierceness in it.

At this time, I also slowly stood up, and pulled my hand out of his hand with all my strength, leaving traces on my skin like a knife, I glanced down, wiped it with my thumb lightly, and then said: "Yan Qingchen, did that scholar pass back my words at the beginning." ”

"Yes, every word is clear."

"And do you remember what I said?"

He looked up at me.

The candle flame behind me sprinkled my shadow on the ground thickly, and also covered his eyes, I couldn't see what kind of expression was in his eyes at this moment, but after a moment of silence, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was almost childlike, and then pushed the wheelchair forward two steps, stopped in front of me again, reached out and took my hand, and stroked the red marks that he had just made.

He stroked it gently, just like I did when I was a child, and blew gently.

My hand was in the palm of his hand, and although I tried my best to control it, I still couldn't help but tremble lightly.

He smiled and looked up at me: "What my sister said, it's not good, I forgot it." ”

“……”

"I only remember the good ones."

“……”

"I only remember that my sister said that she would be with me for the rest of her life."

“……”

"I just think, this one."

Looking at the pair of dark eyes that were close at hand, no matter how many candles were flickering around, just like the wind and waves that my mind experienced at this moment, but his eyes were always dark, not even a little light, the only bit of agility was the reflection of my shadow close at hand.

Slender and weak, it was completely reflected in those pupils.

Like, trapped in it by him.

The feeling of suffocation hit me again, and I just felt like I couldn't breathe.

At this moment, a determined voice sounded behind him-

"The person she wants to be with for the rest of her life is me."

My hand trembled, and I subconsciously wanted to withdraw it, but he also subconsciously clenched it, and as soon as I turned around, I saw that at the stairs, Pei Yuanxiu was standing there, looking at us calmly.

"Yuan Xiu!"

I hurriedly called him, and he immediately got up and walked over, all the way he didn't squint, as if he didn't see the paintings around him at all, he walked straight in front of me, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled my hand out of Yan Qingchen's palm, and closed his big hand to protect me in his palm.

Yan Qingchen sat in a wheelchair, looking at him calmly and lightly.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Other people can have her past, have her memories, own her portrait, anything." ”

“……”

"But she's mine."

Yan Qingchen sat there, calmly listening to him finish speaking, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Really?"

Pei Yuanxiu's face sank.

Neither man spoke, only looked at each other in silence, and although it was just a look, it made me feel as if an invisible blade was fighting, and the sharpness and sharpness that had almost hit me through the wind.

I subconsciously took a step forward: "Light dust." ”

He smiled and turned to look at me.

"I'm not here to fight with you this time. Give my daughter back to me. ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, so that I couldn't see the expression inside, only his smile, still the same as the child in my memory, innocent with a little indescribable evil spirit.

"Your daughter is not with me."
