"Hmm."

Although it is a little strange that there are only three people in the family photo, Leon, who has seen other photos of himself and his parents, does not think much about it because of this photo, but just asks casually:

"When was this photographed? Why is there only you in the family portrait, and there are no three of us? ”

"It's just a mistake in the photo studio."

Seeing that Leon didn't think much about it, Anna couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then replied as smoothly as possible:

"At that time, when we were taking pictures, the previous family had just left, and the person who collected the scenery dropped the sign of the family photo, and there was such a photo.

Although my mother was a little dissatisfied and wanted them to remove the sign and take a new photo, my father liked my mother's smile on the photo, and the people in the photo studio were willing to take only half of the money, so they made do with it. ”

"I see......"

After nodding abruptly, Leon lay on the bed and sizzled for a breath, and then said disappreciatively:

"What about the two of us? Why was it only you at the time? ”

"Because Melanie was born the next year, and this photo was taken for me."

Anna opened the album and rummaged through it, took out a photo with the same background and handed it over, and then said with a smile:

"It was the exam of the community school, and your score was the lowest in the whole school, but I won the first place, and my mother asked me what I wanted as a gift, and I said I wanted a photo to commemorate it.

Oh, the badge I wore on my chest was issued by the school to the first place at that time, although I also wanted to take a photo with you, but you were awkward at the time, saying that your grades were not good, and you just refused to take a photo together, and in the end there was no way to just take a photo of us. ”

"Ah...... Was I so stubborn when I was a kid? ”

Hearing what happened to him when he was a child, Leon, who had no relevant memories, couldn't help but scratch his head, looked up at Anna's expression, and said with some embarrassment:

"Then you won't be very upset, will you?"

"Not really, because I actually did it on purpose."

After smiling evilly at Leon, the sick girl smiled and said:

"When I was a child, you always liked to grab things with me, even my dolls, but you ran faster than me, jumped higher than me, had a stronger body than me, and even ate more than me, I hated you to death.

Fortunately, you were very naughty at the time, and your studies have always been very poor, and I am finally a little better than you, so I seized that opportunity and deliberately angered you fiercely, so that you would be awkward and unwilling to take pictures with me. ”

"You're really ...... I've been holding grudges like this since I was a child. ”

After shaking his head a little speechlessly, Leon, who was lying on the bed, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, since the ointment is finished, then you can go back to sleep quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Then I'll go back, you should also pay attention when you sleep, don't touch the pain again."

I know that it will hurt you if you touch it, and you still have such a heavy hand!

"Got it, got it!"

After giving her a blank look in the appearance of his sister, Leon turned his head to look at the small window of the second bedroom, turned his back to the door and asked casually:

"By the way, is my birthday right?" ?!!!

After hearing Leon's question, Anna, who was about to leave, trembled, and then whispered without looking back:

"How could it be wrong? Why did you suddenly remember to ask this? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I met a soothsayer who is said to be very accurate."

Leon, who was lying on the bed, squinted, then yawned and said:

"She asked me about my birthday and did the math, but she didn't know what she was doing, probably because she couldn't save face, so she didn't say that I told her that her birthday was wrong...... Hehe, it's just a three-legged unsteady road, you have to complain that the road is uneven, do you say it's funny? ”

"It depends on whether you pay or not."

Hearing Leon just ask casually, Anna, who was relieved, regained her composure and replied with a smile: "If you don't pay, then she's funny, if you pay, then you're funny~"

"Go, go, I think you're funny! It's so late, let's go back to bed! ”

After putting on the "majesty of the eldest brother" and getting rid of his sister who teased him, he looked at Anna, who breathed a sigh of relief in the reflection of the small window, and pushed the door away in a hurry, Leon's brows couldn't help but twist up.

Although Anna disguised it well, there was something unnatural in the end.

It may not be noticeable to others, but for Leon, who had spent months with her and spent two years in hell together, these unnatural places were all too obvious.

She's hiding something from me......

According to Anna's character, after seeing the photo drop, she will most likely just say "Oops, why did it fall." Instead of talking so much, he stopped to pack his luggage and sit on the edge of the bed, as if he was deliberately giving himself a chance to ask questions.

Also, looking at the appearance on her photo, this was at least seven or eight years ago, or even longer, but after hearing her own question, she didn't even have a reminiscence process, so she gave a direct answer.

In just a few sentences, he told all the things that happened back then, and everything was explained so tightly that there was almost nothing to question, as if it had been rehearsed countless times in advance.

When she asked about her birthday later, her obviously startled performance in the reflection of the small window directly confirmed her judgment.

Just like the black goat said, the probability of the Lord of the Stars making a mistake is almost zero, so the day he went to the water conservancy company was indeed his birthday.

And Anna's strange behavior proves that she must know something, but for some reason, she doesn't want to tell herself the truth, and even makes up nonsense in advance......

In the face of these almost imminent evidences, Leon, who had been exposed to all kinds of bloody plots in his previous life, almost instantly had a natural guess.

So...... Am I adopted?

After this rather bloody thought, Leon, who was in an extremely complicated mood, immediately turned over and got out of bed, tiptoed to the packed luggage, took out the old photo album and flipped it up.

However, after looking at the old photos for a while, Leon turned his head to look at the small window again, looking at the black hair that was exactly the same as his father on the reflection, and the Ying Ting eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to his mother, and couldn't help but be embarrassed for a while.

Even if the child of a cousin is not a stranger, it is unlikely that he will have both characteristics at the same time, right? Or am I thinking too much?

……

With a stomach full of unresolved confusion, Leon tossed and turned until the second half of the night, barely sleeping for a short time.

When it was dawn, although he was still far from sleeping, he was awakened by Anna from his sleep and learned that the carriage had arrived, so Leon had to get up in a daze, and walked to the entrance of Veteran's Alley.

After forcing his luggage into the cargo box and telling the coachman who had rented the location in advance, Leon, who had only slept for more than an hour, got into the four-man carriage with his younger brother and sister, who were also drowsy.

And Anna, who followed him to the carriage, looked at him so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, and couldn't help complaining angrily and funny:

"Brother! Didn't you go to bed quite early yesterday? Why are you stuck like this now? ”

"Yesterday...... Hatche ...... My mind was a little messy last night...... I didn't sleep much in the first half of the night...... Not...... Let me lean on ...... for a while."

After leaning on the shoulder of Anna, who looked a little flustered, leaned his body to the side with the shaking of the carriage, Leon, who was indeed sleepy, squinted his eyes weakly, with three points of temptation and 120,000 points of seriousness, and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry...... If you don't want to say anything, you don't have to ask.

Also, you can rely on me as you rely on me...... I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my sister. ”
