[45] The distance between two people(1/2)
"Ling, are you awake?"
I knocked on Ling's door and asked in a gentle and gentle voice.
"Bang, bang, bang."
At this moment, my heartbeats slightly faster.
Because I had many questions in my heart that I wanted to get answers to Ling's questions, and I was also worried that she was resentful of some things and ignored me.
Time seems to be still.
After I knocked on the door, there was no response for ten seconds.
"Well, I woke up."
Ten seconds later, Ling slowly opened her mouth with a clear sound.
call--
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ling didn't care much about some things.
"I'm sending you breakfast to Ling. How did you sleep last night?"
I slowly placed the breakfast plate in front of Ling's door, and then asked kindly.
"I slept well."
Through the door, she said concisely, her voice was relatively close, probably because she came around the door or spoke to me against it.
Ling didn't let me enter the room, I understand this. After all, this has always been the case. Generally, I have nothing absolutely important to me and I can't enter her room. What's more, now she probably just woke up and hadn't washed up and changed clothes. Girls should pay attention to their appearance in front of others.
This way you can talk.
However, I still need to get to the point quickly. I want to ask a few questions I have been worried about just now and listen to Ling's personal answer.
I made up my mind so determined, and then slowly sat down in front of Ling's door and leaned against her door.
"Ling, how is your second personality now..."
I asked slowly, and clenched my fists slightly.
“…”
After a period of silence, Ling seemed to be thinking and hesitating about something, and did not speak.
"My second personality has settled now, and I did some impulsive things to God yesterday...sorry."
Ling said slowly in the door, word by word, "She rarely apologized to me."
Well... But since Ling said that, he probably remembers what he did in his second personality.
"It's okay, Ling, I don't mind."
I comforted her slowly.
“…”
The two were silent for a while.
No.
Ji Shen, it’s not Ling who needs to apologize to you.
There are some things that you need to apologize to Ling, whether it was last night or something that happened a long time ago.
"Ling, I feel...I'm sorry for you."
I leaned against Ling's door and spoke in a heavy tone.
“….”
She didn't speak.
"When we were kids, we probably saw the stars on the top of Crescent Mountain together. At that time, we also made an agreement."
I continued to talk, recalling the past with Ling.
A picture appeared in my mind:
Under the deep and distant night sky, a girl in a white dress faces the boy, hooks her fingers under the stars, and makes a lifelong agreement.
"I remember our agreement now. We said: No matter how the future changes, we must abide by today's agreement. We will get married and be together forever. If our love will be difficult - please let us become birds and fly away..."
I said the words of the past word by word, but not in love, but in a bitter tone.
This agreement is beautiful.
But, it is unrealistic and very ethereal.
Now, Ling and I are true brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters who are not allowed to fall in love in the world.
What's more, both of us are constrained by the troubled second personality and are prone to making some mistakes.
Therefore, we can only be normal siblings, carefully through a door of our hearts, keeping some of the other party, completely forgetting the love we had when we were young, and using family links between the two.
Say it out, Ji Shen.
If you don’t make it clear to Ling now, you will only hurt both of us all the time.
I leaned against Ling's door, my hands drooped slightly—and then, I spoke:
"Ling, our childhood agreement was a mistake, a very unrealistic and absurd mistake."
I said with a wry smile.
”….”
She still didn't speak.
"We are brothers and sisters, and we can only be brothers and sisters in this life. In fact, I asked you yesterday to get closer to our relationship in a similar way to a lover... But now, I think even this is not realistic."
I said this through the door, feeling extremely bad, but I had to force myself to say it.
"We both have a second personality. If we don't keep a certain distance, it will only bring incredible sadness to both of us... an extremely sad ending...."
I clenched my fists, leaned against Ling's door with force, and gritted my teeth and said what I was thinking.
The breakfast steam on the side slowly steamed upwards, and a faint loneliness and sorrow appeared in the empty corridor.
Then, I smiled bitterly and spoke:
"Ling, let us forget everything we have before and become a normal brother and sister, okay?"
Through the door, I said this, lowering my head.
At that moment, my fingertips fell into my palms.
In my heart, the beautiful scene of the boy and the girl setting up a engagement under the starry sky, slowly cracks appeared, disintegrating, and then falling apart.
Time seems to be still.
Ling inside the door, since I just introduced this topic, I didn't say a word.
"call--"
The cool wind blew in from outside the window, blew up the bangs that had originally covered my eyes.
"Well, that's it."
In the door, a cold voice finally came.
A few simple words declare the end of all our love.
The moment she said these words, I felt that a stone in my heart might have been put down, or it might have been even more depressed.
I felt that I was feeling relaxed and relieved, but I still felt a sense of chest tightness and weakness, which made my body soft.
However, I cannot change my decision because of this short-term feeling.
It's over and it's over.
"Well... Then let's do it. I'll leave breakfast at the door. Don't eat it again after it's cold. It's not good for my health."
I said this to Ling, then stood up tremblingly and stopped leaning against her door.
"Um....."
Ling responded softly to my advice.
"By the way, when Ling's body was getting hot last night, I wiped your body slightly... Sorry, I hope you don't mind."
I remembered this and apologized to her again.
"Um....."
Ling still answered me in one word.
"Okay, then I'll leave, Ling pays attention to his health."
I finally gave a little verbose instruction.
"Um......"
Ling responded softly.
To be continued...
