"Brother..." The voice, tinged with tears, made Lin Mu's body stiffen instantly, and the panic in his heart couldn't be hidden. Why did he have a feeling of going back to the past?
He wouldn't be called that by his recent behavior! Nor would he have that timid and cautious tone again!
He could no longer hold back, putting her down from his back and roughly grasping her slender wrists to pull her into his arms, lifting up her chin, his icy sharp blue eyes piercing deeply into the tear-filled eyes of the girl in front of him.
When he really looked into those eyes, all his heartache vanished instantly, but a contradictory sense of suffocation struck him instead!
These aren't the eyes he's been obsessed with all along!
Timid, cautious, simple, fragile, inferior...
How could this be the blue eyes he had been deeply infatuated with all along!
The girl he loved had always had a kind of elegant and pure aura, her blue eyes were calm, gentle, confident, pure, clear, and warm, how could it be the pair in front of him!
The rain was still falling, and the originally small drizzle suddenly poured down, hitting the two people, and it's unknown whose heart was chilled by that thick and cool sensation...
How can you hear breathing with such a loud rain, even if two people are very close to each other? Not even the cicadas and frogs themselves could hear their own breathing sounds. Were they suffocated or had they forgotten how to breathe?
The long and slender hands released the delicate wrist of the girl in front of him, revealing a fragile red mark on her pale wrist that had been tightly grasped by him. However, the boy's blue eyes remained calm and unruffled, like a frozen lake surface, nobody knew whether there were turbulent waves underneath or if it was already frozen solid, or if anything could stir it at all.
She is not herself...
An incredible idea flashed through the young man's mind.
The person he loves wouldn't be so timid and humble, looking at him with such a lack of confidence, wouldn't dare to meet his eyes, wouldn't have such an unconfident posture with their waist slightly bent, and wouldn't cry so pitifully. Moreover, how could someone's gaze change so thoroughly in an instant?
At that time when she woke up, the change wasn't too hard to understand. People who grew up in an instant weren't unheard of, but people who instantly changed back completely? Absolutely none!
The boy and girl stood facing each other, the rain showing no signs of stopping, occasionally thunder and lightning flashed above them, illuminating their handsome and beautiful faces.
He stared at the girl in front of him, that face he was used to thinking about and missing now made him so repulsed. If she really wasn't her, then where did she go?! Was it a split personality or something?
It seems like Lin Xiang has seen a glimmer of hope. Having multiple personalities is fine; she can always come out on her own, but he doesn't want to face the one in front of him right now!
"Get her out!" Akagi Kaito suddenly grabbed her shoulder fiercely, his extremely excited voice sounded hoarse, but full of endless longing. He was afraid of the feeling that she wasn't in front of him or not in his world! That feeling made his heart too stifling, too panicked!
His hands were so strong that they could convey his anxious and suffocating emotions to her. The girl was in great pain, with tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes, mingling with the rainwater. She looked at her brother in front of her with a heartbroken expression, she had only appeared in front of him again for an answer, but this young man, from start to finish, only cared about the girl who occupied her body...
From young to old, she received endless doting from her father and mother, but could not get even a little attention from this brother. Now, she just discovered that the doting of her father and mother was not endless, compared with the girl who occupied her body, the love given by Akio Takaaki and Shizuka Ryoko seemed so little, which was truly boundless...
Now, this brother who never cared about her before is going crazy wanting that girl back...
She was heartbroken...
But even if she cried bitterly, bitterly, and bitterly, she couldn't wash away the endless desolation and sorrow in her heart. Why do people with different souls have different fates? The simple-minded her didn't understand, all she knew was that she couldn't compare to that girl...
Even if she came back now, she was afraid that she couldn't take everything away from the girl. Although the girl was an imposter, but in the heart of this young man who had become indifferent and emotionless, she had somehow managed to occupy a place... She looked at this young man with deep longing, and asked herself if she could replace the girl.
What about Father and Mother? Have they also forgotten their precious one? She suddenly wanted to know this...
She wants... Father and Mother, don't forget her... Don't forget her, okay? She doesn't want to leave just like that, but nobody remembers her. Even if they remember a girl named Lin Mu Xiang, it's absolutely not her...
Looking at the girl who didn't seem to let her out, Akagi opened his shoulders and seemed to calm down, but the girl looked at him and only felt a throb in her heart. The air around was already cold enough, but he seemed to be freezing the surroundings...
She wants an answer...
She wants to see if her father and mother have forgotten about her...
Otherwise she was reluctant to leave...
Originally, she never left this world, she has been living in her own body all along, watching that girl replace her identity and get to know one person after another who truly dote on and care for her. In the bottom of her heart, there is infinite satisfaction, even if it's not towards her, at least that girl made Lin Mu Yan herself get attention, which was something she had yearned for so much...
A self-enclosed girl, afraid to face other people's gaze, but deep down in her heart yearning for others' attention, that contradictory and painful thought makes her only know how to bow humbly instead of standing up straight.
That girl, from start to finish, was calm and confident, gentle yet warm, soft yet inclusive, strong yet beautiful, shining with a pure and dazzling light that illuminated the people around her. Unlike others who would retreat into the shadows, timidly lowering their heads, wrapping their entire body in search of safety but still finding none. That girl, whenever she furrowed her brow, there were people who came to ask if she was uncomfortable, and there were those willing to offer her a haven for a lifetime of happiness...
But what about her? She has nothing...
Now, she can only hold on to the last thread of hope. As long as her father and mother still remember her, she can forget about everything else. That's all she wishes for - not to be forgotten by everyone, okay?
He gazed coldly at the girl in front of him, and saw a firm glint in her tearful eyes. His heart sank again! This girl didn't want to let her out!
He suddenly really wanted to scold someone! This timid girl, when was she not firm, but just at the time he wanted to go crazy, she became firm! He didn't know what she was going to do, but at least he knew that he still couldn't see her!
"Let's go!" Two cold words, seemingly the coldest two words he had ever spoken. Heaven knows how much impulse he suppressed to not tear this girl apart!
Sister? What's that? Never appeared in his life!
He finally acknowledged that the girl was his sister, but only after he realized he had fallen in love with her, despite not wanting to admit it, and even though they shared a blood relation. However, now he has discovered that the one he loves is not the girl he had ignored for over a decade.
The girl who suddenly appeared in his life like a meteor and left him at a loss for words is not the one now!
But at the same time, the suffocating feeling made him unbearable and he couldn't help but want to bend over, what he feared most was that she would never come back!
The girl looked at the boy coldly and said two words, without showing any tenderness or care for the girl, not even making a gesture to pull her over. She turned her head to look at the hand hanging by her side, as if she had a slight desire to stretch out and let him hold it.
She clenched her fist, but there was nothing in the palm of her hand. Even rainwater and air would slip away from her fingers, leaving her with only a suffocating emptiness that had no shape.
The figure of the boy in front, vaguely seemed to let her see him carrying that girl on his back, while she stood behind and watched helplessly, watching as he was gentle, watching as that girl was being taken care of by him, while she could only be forgotten in the dark shadows without light...
He suddenly turned around and came back, without saying a word, he carried her on his back, her heart skipped a beat!
Why? Older brother...
She clearly saw the repulsion in his eyes...
It seems that Akagi heard her question, and the girl only heard a voice that was almost frozen to the point of trembling, "Take care of her body!"
……
A thick sense of desolation and sorrow had been swirling around her heart, as if it refused to leave.
It's true that this indifferent brother, who has emotional and physical cleanliness issues, couldn't possibly care about her... Everything is just because he's waiting for that girl to come back.
Brother... Hehe, it hurts her so much. This is obviously... her own body... That girl took away brother's heart, and even took away her body...
Is it... she wants everything gone?
Dad... Mom... are you also going to give baby the final blow? Let baby... from now on lose heart and disappear from this world?
Transparent tears, pale sorrow, silent grief, helpless soul... Where will you eventually go to...
……
When he finally arrived at the Ling District, Lin Mu had already composed his emotions. Although his eyes were filled with a dark and cold aura, his breathing was very steady.
He gave the girl time, although he would wait anxiously, but he had to wait! But... hoped she wouldn't challenge his patience limit! He wasn't a very patient person! Otherwise, if driven mad by torture, he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted!
The girl had always known about the recent events and knew that this was to find Akane Tendo and Yotsuya Katsuragi, but looking at the people in front of her, she suddenly became afraid. She was afraid that she would really see Akane Tendo and Yotsuya Katsuragi completely deny the existence of her former self. She loved this family, she loved Father and Mother!
With deep sorrow and unease, the girl finally lowered her eyes.
Akane Kaito has already put her down, and the rain has stopped early. The mud on Akane Kaito's body had been washed away by the rainwater, but his body was still wet.
The girl looked up at the boy who had never given her a glance, looking at his slender and smooth hand leaning to one side. She had wanted to hold it so many times before, but now she wanted to even more, yet still couldn't muster up the courage. How many times had she seen her brother show that special affection to that girl, her heart was racing...
"Brother, before meeting Father and Mother, can you answer my previous question?" A soft and timid voice sounded from behind the willow tree, he paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with an unclear emotion, seemingly melancholic, yet also seeming to despise ants, disappearing in an instant.
"You're not worthy, let me gaze at you..." The emotionless words fell like hail, causing the girl's heart to feel extremely stifled!
No one is qualified... Not even a blood-related sister has the qualifications!
In Kaito Minami's view, he was not wrong. He was originally indifferent and cold-blooded, always following the strong man's idea that even if it wasn't one of the strong men, there should be some advantages or qualities worth his appreciation or respect to win his attention. He acknowledged Akigi Tatsu and Shizuka Ryoko because Akigi Tatsu was a strong man in his eyes, he supported such a large family of Akigi! That was his father! No doubt about it!
While Shizuka Ryoko is the woman who gave him life, he acknowledges that maternal love exists.
However, he was originally not good at expressing himself. Even his rejection of Akane Motomiya and Shizuka Naokora was limited to physical and psychological cleanliness. He loved being alone, although he also had a dead party like Kiyomizu Sakuya, but since Kiyomizu Sakuya could be his brother, how could it be simple?
There was only this sister, from the moment she appeared in his life, except for that period of infancy when she was at everyone's mercy, she had always been timid and spoke in a soft voice, so weak that there was no vitality at all. In his eyes, she was like a rotten shrimp, unable to be lifted up!
This girl who never dared to look him in the eye, didn't dare to stand close to him, with her head hung low as if she couldn't face anyone, and even shrank away when she saw him. He thought that this girl had never taken the initiative to enter his world, she was always shrinking out of his space! So why should he take the initiative to enter hers?
He has never met anyone who would take the initiative to get close to him!
...until I met her.
The girl seemed to have something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak for a long time. After what felt like an eternity, her voice finally came out with a hint of hoarseness, "......I understand"
Until now, she finally realized that the one who was wrong all along was herself. She was too timid and in his eyes, she was the lowest of people, even her sister was the same, not even having the qualification to receive his attention. This young man, who had been immersed in the education of a noble heir since childhood, learned to be cold-blooded and emotionless, taking the strong as his creed, with an indifference that seemed to lack any human emotions. However, he did have them, only he hadn't met the person who could stir his heartstrings... And it was unique... The most fleeting yet heaviest love in a person's life...
Even if he seemed to have no feelings for Akane Motomiya and Yoshiko Ryūzaki, he always acknowledged them as his parents.
But from start to finish, he never acknowledged having a younger sister...
Even if she woke up now and wanted to get close, the girl knew it was too late. This lifetime, she had lost the chance to be this young man's little sister. Even if she could prevent that girl from coming back, the young man would not let her into his heart because that would mean erasing the existence of the person he cared about, and he would only hate her...
When those two familiar figures appeared in the distance, the girl didn't know how long she had cried before her dry eyes welled up with tears again.
Dad... Mom...
