Chapter 14: Iniquity
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and a slap hit Lan Suying's cheek hard, and her father's face turned red from anger, and the raised palm seemed to be about to fall again.
Lan Suying didn't cry, just quietly looked at the potato chips scattered all over the ground, her eyes were cold.
Seeing this, his eyes turned red, and he stepped forward a few steps and grabbed his father's hand, his voice hoarse and trembling.
"Don't hit the child, it doesn't matter if you don't call your mother, it's okay to call Aunt Lan, and you will be called Aunt Lan in the future!"
In the end, the situation that could not be controlled broke out.
Lan Suying laughed and pushed away the woman in front of her, and shouted in an almost crazy tone: "Aunt Lan, haha, Aunt Lan, no wonder you married your mother, it turns out that you have long hooked up and found someone with the same surname, but I am afraid that you will call the wrong person in your dream, right?"
These words stabbed straight at his father like a sharp blade, he took a few steps back and sat on the ground at once, trembling and pointing at her and scolding: "Get out, you get out of here!"
Okay, I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and now I'm finally saying it!
Smiling secretly in her heart, Lan Suying rushed back to the room quickly, pulled the luggage she had packed early in the morning, and rushed out of the house without looking back.
Tian Chen chased after her, but didn't say anything, just silently grabbed her suitcase, took a car, and sent her to school.
Lan Suying in the car was still stubborn and refused to shed a single tear, just leaned quietly on her brother's shoulder.
"Brother, I only have you!"
Hugging her tightly, Tian Chen sighed deeply, but didn't say anything.
Lan Suying's school is like a boarding school, and the reason why she didn't live in it was because she coveted the comfort at home, and now that her home is gone, it's good to have such a place that is not quiet but can live.
Tian Chen's schoolwork is also heavy, but she will come to see her on time after school every day, take her to eat all kinds of delicious food, accompany him for a walk in the playground, and watch her do her homework in the study room, which makes those boys who want to pursue her timid, because she always doesn't explain whether this outstanding boy is a lover or a brother, and Tian Chen has never asked for so.
Occasionally, the brother and sister would mention family matters, Tian Chen was used to calling her stepmother's woman, but Lan Suying only called her that woman.
Tian Chen said that the continuation is not as vicious and treacherous as the legend in the story, at least their stepmother is not like that, she is very gentle and kind, she never says much in front of her father, and she loves her father even more, and she is definitely not the kind of bad woman who comes for money.
And every now and then, Lan Suying would punch him or kick him angrily, and squeezed some sour words from his nostrils by the way: "How old are you, will you be fooled by the way you coax children?"
After she finished saying this, Tian Chen always didn't speak, but no matter how he came, he would say this to her every time.
"I see you, brother, you've been killed by her sugar-coated cannonballs, and you're here to speak for me!"
When Lan Suying was annoyed by what she heard, she would run on him together.
However, Tian Chen never got angry, let alone angry, just smiled faintly and still said good things for his stepmother, until his sister pointed his nose and scolded him for being ungrateful, and his mother's bones were not cold, and he was going to be a son for someone else.
One day, Lan Suying learned from a friend's brother that Tian Chen had fallen out of love, and went to school to comfort him.
"Brother, we are so handsome, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a girlfriend?"
Kicking away a small pebble under her feet vigorously, she actually felt a trace of pleasure rise from her heart. As early as Tian Chen revealed to herself that when she was in love, she was looking forward to him breaking up as soon as possible, but she didn't expect him to be so sad.
Shaking his head, Tian Chen's eyes were still looking at the sunset, and muttered: "It's too, it's also ......."
"Look at me, I'm not afraid of falling out of love, because I've always had a crush on ......"
Lan Suying didn't know if she was too excited in her heart, and she knew that she was wrong before she finished this sentence, so she quickly closed her mouth.
"Crush, do you have a crush too?"
Although she collected it quickly, she was still listened to by Tian Chen, so he tilted his head to her side with interest, and the corners of his good-looking mouth pulled a warm smile.
"Brother, if I wasn't your sister, would you fall in love with me?"
Lan Suying's originally smiling face stopped smiling, bit her lip, and asked firmly.
"Don't make trouble, I'm not your brother, who else can I be!"
Tian Chen sighed helplessly and knocked on her head gently.
"Don't you really remember anything?"
Obviously, his attitude disappointed Lan Suying a little, and reached out to poke back at his head.
Biting her lower lip tightly, the past that was silent in her heart, Lan Suying decided to tell everything today.
"When I first saw you, you were lying in the hospital, with a lot of tubes inserted in your body, and Dad later took you home and let the family's private doctor take care of you, and later, you woke up, you couldn't speak and didn't know who you were, and Dad taught you every day, until you began to identify that you are my brother, a member of our family, Dad said, you are a friend's child, your whole family had a car accident, only you were left, and you had amnesia, in order not to remind you of the past, he never allowed me to say it, but, we, we are really not, not brother and sister, we are not related by blood!”
Tian Chen was frightened, his head shook into a rattle, and his mouth repeatedly chanted: "No, no, you lied to me, why don't I have any impression at all, it's impossible!"
However, his voice became smaller and smaller, he knew his sister, this look and attitude was sincere, she did not lie to herself.
"I, I don't believe it!"
I don't know why I stood up, Tian Chen's tears instantly filled his whole face, he couldn't believe that his close family members had come from his happy life for so many years.
Lan Suying grabbed him who turned around and wanted to leave, and tears were also soaked in her eyes.
"Brother, don't be like this!"
Holding her shoulder, Tian Chen's voice trembled: "Why do you want to tell me, why do you want to tell me?"
"Because of me, because I love you, from the first time I saw you in the hospital, I fell in love with you, I, I, I just wanted to marry you!"
Lan Suying was frightened, but her mind was unusually clear, she desperately held his hand, and said very gently.
"No, no, I don't believe it!"
Tian Chen pushed Lan Suying away hard, turned around and ran away.
And Lan Suying stood in place stunned, choked up and barely made a sound.
Scenes from the past flashed in Tian Chen's mind like a movie, his dear father became an uncle, and his most beloved sister became a stranger, what happened to this world?
He can't figure it out, he can't remember it, no matter how hard he tries to remember it, those things that may have happened in the past have no impression at all, but if everything is fake, why can't he remember his childhood memories?
Thinking back to it, I think that my mother was always scolded very harshly whenever she was in trouble, and her eyes were always cold, although she didn't do anything terrible to herself, she never got close to herself, and since she can remember, she has never hugged herself like her mother, and she has never even held her little hand.
It turned out that all this should have been like this, because she had no responsibility for herself, let alone love, or in her heart, she even felt a little disgusted with this wild child who was picked up by her husband, but she was too cowardly to express it to her husband.
Maybe it was for Tian Chen, Lan Suying still decided to go home!
That day, the stepmother was very happy, but Tian Chen's heart became more and more uncomfortable. The smile of his family looked like pity in his eyes, and the expressions of his stepmother and father who loved him more than his sister made him fall into a fog.
Lan Suying's return made his father very happy, and he drank a few more glasses of wine for the first time, and the smile on his face was full of happiness.
The stepmother's love for her still did not win her favor, and she was still full of guilt for this stranger.
In the middle of the night, Tian Chen was awakened by a nightmare, sweaty, got up and poured a glass of water, and sprinkled the ground with the desolate moonlight like ice, which made people's hearts cold.
For so many years, although his mother was not warm enough to him, and although his father was too fond of him, he could ignore it completely, but this sister could not rest assured, but this sister was not a relative.
Lan Suying in the other room took a hot bath, looking at herself in the mirror, her face was like peach blossom skin, her skin could be broken by blowing, and she was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
Wrapped in a bath towel, she tiptoed out of the room, but found that her brother's door was open, so she floated in like a gust of wind, and a heart hit the fawn.
As soon as I entered the door, I found Tian Chen standing in front of the window with his back to the door, Lan Suying walked over, reached out and hugged his slender but not thin waist, and her cheek was pressed against his solid back.
"Brother, are we okay together?"
Tian Chen's heart was shocked and he wanted to push her away again, but he lost his courage in an instant, and just responded lightly: "Ying'er, give me some time, okay?"
In the depths of his heart, he has been tormented repeatedly in the past few days: In addition to the love of brother and sister, is there any other affection for his sister?
At least not yet!
It's just that since she was a child, her sister's dependence on herself far exceeded that of her parents, if she loses herself, how will she spend her life? Those bloody wrists are still vividly remembered, and he can't bear it, and he can't let her hurt herself like that again.
So, he hesitated!
Looking at Lan Suying, who was sleeping in the crook of his arm, Tian Chen was still at a loss, like a ship in the sea that had lost its rudder, and he couldn't see his heart without direction!
