Chapter 42: Xia Xikong (Part 1)(1/2)
The summer sea breeze made my face itchy, but this was a long-lost memory. I continued to run forward, trying to see that person earlier.
When the Flower Street was still lively, I secretly ran out. The young man Ye Zi said would wait for me by the beach. I changed into a complicated kimono and came out in just a bathrobe.
Only Ye Zi and I knew about this, and I didn’t even tell the Star Bear Boy.
So, on the vaguely glowing seaside, I saw a figure. One step, two steps...
I finally got closer to him.
I was about to speak, but the man suddenly turned around.
like……
Too similar...
No, it's better to say it's not like it, I saw him... the grown-up brother...
"What's wrong?" he asked me softly.
I looked at him and didn't dare to blink, but just raised my hand slightly and pulled his sleeve: "My brother..."
But I was confused for a moment, and I immediately let go. Now I am not immersed in this joy...
"What the hell is going on? If you are your brother, who is the one in Kyoto now?"
He smiled gently: "Just think we are the same person."
"How is that possible!" I blurted out, "You...you should only be in my dreams, why do you do this..."
I've been incoherent, although I already know that there are two brothers... but still...
Sure enough, it is still easier to accept in dreams...
But the person in front of me is the brother who will appear in the dream. Only he will smile at me so gently.
"Okay, okay." He reached out and touched my head, "Is the job in the song shop very tired? Do you want to go to dinner with me?"
He reached out to me and waited patiently for my answer. I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I could only give him my hand.
...It turned out to be warm.
When I sat in the izakaya, I couldn't help but look at him again, just as I did when I was a child. But when he looked out the window, he did not ignore me, but turned his head to look at me.
"Is there anything wrong with Ah Zi?"
!!!!!!
This is...
This is really what he called me...
A light feeling came to my heart... I patted my face with my hand and asked with great uncertainty: "Are you really my brother?"
"Oh really."
At this time, he came up and gently pushed the bowl in front of me, showing my familiar pride on his mature face.
“Eat.”
Holding the chopsticks, I couldn't tell whether to bite the chopsticks and think about it or pick up noodles.
"But...but this doesn't make sense...how are you the same person? You obviously... you obviously..."
You haven't come to see me for so long, why are you here at this time? Is it the same as the brother in the capital? Is there any purpose?
"I'm sorry, A Zi." He lowered his green glazed eyes, "But can you please listen to my explanation?"
explain……
What would it look like?
So he confessed everything and awakened some of my fragmentary memories. But that didn't matter anymore...
After he finished speaking, I was silent for a long time, because I was a little sudden, sad, but I was still a little joyful.
"I always feel..." I spoke with some difficulty, but could only stand up, "I'm sorry, I don't know what I should say..."
He looked at me gently, without saying anything, as if he was tolerating everything about me.
Aoi seeds...
Indeed, I remember that there was such a person, and I also remember that I killed her...
That’s right, it’s precisely because of this reason that my brother hates me. But since then, my memory has been very vague.
I was at a loss, and I hurriedly looked at him, then said, "I'm sorry, I'll go back first."
I was already in a mess, my head was very messy, and I could hardly tell the truth. If it weren't for my incident, my brother wouldn't have become two brothers now...
When he stumbled back to the house, the Star Bear boy was drinking with a glass of wine.
"Oh, you're back." The boy from Xingxiong wiped his mouth and said, "The wine in this song shop is really good. Although it's not as good as the wine we brew, it's also worth waiting."
As he said that, he drank another drink.
By the way, I thought that the young man Qingming had also drunk wine, so I walked over and took the bottle, raised my head and poured it into my throat.
The hot smell irritated my throat, but I didn't want to stop.
The Star Bear Boy looked at me and was surprised: "Good alcohol...but what's wrong with you?"
After drinking, I let out a long sigh: "Nothing."
The boy star bear patted my shoulder and said, "We are here, you little human girls are evidently experiencing something."
I didn't push his hand away and put down the bottle in my hand.
Seeing that I had no reaction, the Star Bear boy had to sit aside and pick up the wood carving he had not finished carving: "By the way, that monster named Prajna has been looking for you."
"Well..." I got up and wanted to walk towards the door, but my feet were floating, and the door actually started to speak.
"The door is there, not here. Wait, that's just done-"
It seemed that the door was saying something, but I could no longer hear it. I touched something furry at my hand and suddenly thought of Tamamo's tail.
"Really, we've been doing it for a long time...Oh, don't pull our hair--"
"Soft...Master Tamamomae..." I grabbed the soft thing and held it in my arms, "A moment...a moment..."
"Takimomae?...No, don't you, fall asleep?...Forget it, we're sleeping, and I don't know when we will go back to Dajiangshan. I always stay here, and Shuitun Boy and Ibaraki Boy can't clean it.
…Oh… Why are we just having such a little girl…”
After a sweet sleep, I woke up almost immediately. I was stunned for a while before I realized that I was holding a furry thing in my hand, and the Star Bear boy was sleeping with his back to me.
Star Bear Boy's Braid?
I suddenly thought of what happened last night. After meeting my brother last night, I drank wine because I was in a bad mood...
I hurriedly threw away the things in my hands and stood up to let the maids bring water. No matter what, this is the case, and I must accept it.
Ye Zi came in with water, her eyes bright. I blinked, not sure what she was happy about.
"Miss Zi Ji, do you like that young man?" Ye Zi was cautious and a little happy.
Do you like...a gentle brother...
"Like." I answered seriously.
"Then...when are you going to leave?" Ye Zi looked at me, "Ye Zi will still help you."
"Yezi, we..." I said hesitantly, "Actually we are brothers and sisters."
But Ye Zi seemed to have not reacted yet.
"Of course, it's not easy for Miss Zi Ji to leave...what? Miss, you said...that young master..."
The leaves were a little shocked.
This time it was my turn to be surprised: "Are you any questions?"
"No... that young man doesn't look like a child from a poor family..." Ye Zi looked up at me, "Then why did you come here?"
Ye Zi looked very cute. I couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch her head: "Thank you, thank you Ye Zi."
"…Miss Zi Ji?" Ye Zi opened his eyes slightly, "You are smiling."
I withdrew my hand, but found Ye Zi screamed out with a "wow": "It's a chaotic monster!"
Then I realized that the Star Bear Boy was awake too, sitting behind me and looking at us. Seeing that we were all looking at him, I made a face: "What kind of chaotic monster? We are a famous monster."
Ye Zi looked panicked: "Miss Zi Ji, Ye Zi...I..."
I held Ye Zi's hand: "It's okay, he won't hurt others casually, it's different from other monsters."
Ye Zi shook her head: "Miss Zi Ji, you must be careful. Ye Zi has heard many stories about monsters eating the singer here. No matter what, if you are in danger, Ye Zi will definitely help you."
I nodded vigorously and watched Ye Zi slowly leave.
To be honest, I don’t know how to face everything now. Maybe I can slowly get used to the real existence of him when I meet him again today.
There are many things I want to ask, many things I want to say, but I don’t know if he can tell me anything…
Today, when Fuzhou came to my room to teach me Taigong, I don’t know how many times I said what made me concentrate.
To be continued...
