It’s April and the temperature is getting hotter.

Even when eating at the beach, I can't help but feel that the temperature has risen to such a level that it's depressing.

After lunch, Tianhai Jiuliuli declined invitations from all her classmates to go out for a walk in the afternoon and went back to her hotel room to take a lunch break.

But the strange thing is that no matter how much I want to go to bed... I can't fall asleep.

In the past few days, a voice has been echoing in my mind.

That Kagawa Raku suddenly agreed to his promise to fly him to England to see Maple Leaf Avenue.

Every time I open my eyes and look at the ceiling above my head, I will think of his serious expression when he promised me.

You can definitely take me there.

You will definitely take me there.

Lejun will definitely abide by the agreement.

......

Tianhai Jiuliuli always hints at this information in his heart.

Sometimes these hints wash over her nerves like a torrent, causing her to open her eyes immediately and her chest to rise and fall restlessly.

When I reacted, there were already a lot of sweat drops on my forehead.

......

Myself...what's going on?

Don't understand.

I don’t understand the origin of these inexplicable anxiety.

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't understand something at all, so she lay on the bed with her hands spread wide and took several deep breaths.

After her body and mind relaxed for a while, she reluctantly propped herself up, leaned her back against the wall, and sat up from the bed.

The girl grabbed her phone, opened LINE, glanced at the sky with flying seagulls outside the window, and finally turned her attention to the two commonly used contacts in LINE——

Kanhara Raku and Tianhai Qimingyue.

Her finger hovered over the avatar ID of Kaname Yuara's account for more than ten seconds, and then she suddenly closed her eyes.

......

......

She chose Tianhai Qimingyue.

Pressing the video call button with her fingertips, Tianhai Jiuliuli hugged a pillow into her arms.

All...all...

After a few short communication sound effects, the video was connected.

The mobile phone screen soon showed the face of Tianhai Qimingyue that was similar to his own, but looked extremely tired and calm.

She wore an off-the-shoulder summer dress and seemed to be sitting in a seaside restaurant, with the azure sea and lush strait behind her.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned when he saw his sister's appearance.

"Why don't you seem to have slept in July?"

After hearing this sentence, Tianhai Qimingyue on the mobile phone took the initiative to switch the front and rear cameras of the mobile phone and put the camera angle on Tianhai Zhixue who seemed to be sitting opposite her.

Tianhai Zhixue seems to be eating coconut crab meat rice, she is quiet and gentle.

Qi Mingyue is using the camera to explain why she seems to have not slept.

Okay...

Tianhai Jiuliuli understands.

The screen perspective returns to the face of Tianhai Qimingyue again.

[It’s even more strange that my sister took the initiative to call me... My sister found out because of her conscience, and now she wants to switch classes with me? Is it because we are so far apart that she feels the mental pain of your twin sister?]

"That's not true." Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at her sister on the phone.

[Sister is really a cruel woman, she actually doesn’t care about your sister at all.]

Tianhai Jiuliuli took the initiative to ignore Qi Mingyue's complaints and said to her: "Is it convenient for Qi Mingyue to talk to me alone now?"

[...]

The seven bright moons in the sky on the screen obviously lowered their eyes a little more, like beautiful dead fish eyes.

[The person opposite me is my sister?]

"Of course."

[Sister, don’t you think what you said is strange?]

Tianhai Jiululi's white legs were propped up together, with her back against the wall, holding her mobile phone in both hands and putting it on her knees, "It's very strange, after all, we had a huge quarrel not long ago."

Tianhai Qimingyue in the mobile phone screen put the mobile phone on the dining table.

The phone was then stood up, and she alternated her hands and lay on the table.

[Sister, are you planning to give in?]

"What do you think of July?"

[It’s impossible to think about it...but my sister took the initiative to call me, which proves that she has something very important or something she wants to discuss with me.]

Tianhai Qimingyue, who seemed to be framed in the mobile phone screen, closed her eyes, lazily resting her arms on her arms while turning her head sideways. Her delicate white fingers tapped on the table, making a sound.

[Also, you are talking to me on the phone instead of talking to your brother. This is the first time in more than ten years.]

Qi Mingyue's words "This is the first time in more than ten years" made Tianhai Jiuliuli feel emotional.

Just as she was about to speak, Qi Mingyue immediately said another sentence, blocking what Tianhai Jiuliuli was about to say.

[I know what my sister wants to say...but no one should explain it to me. I understand that my sister always likes to show off her strength in front of me.]

"About this...I have always hoped that you would understand in July."

[Of course I understand. After all, she is my sister who is five minutes older than me. As a sister, I have to help her share everything. I don’t want her to touch physical activities at all. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I will avoid her and never do anything.

Will take the initiative to talk to her and speak openly.]

What I said in July is also true.

I don’t want my sister to see myself as weak, I don’t want to see my sister as not good, and I don’t want her to worry about me instead of saying that I can’t help her as a sister.

...Looking back carefully, Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly felt that the previous relationship with Qiyue had become more and more distant.

She closed her eyes. Except for the waves coming from her hands, the area around the hotel was so quiet that she couldn't hear anything.

[Why did my sister suddenly stop talking?]

"I'm calling you now mainly because there are some things that I still don't quite understand."

[Then why don’t you look for your brother, but me?]

"These emotions are not suitable to be shared with him...I am a little confused and not very clear."

[Why? Because my brother always comforts you, my sister, unconditionally?]

"...Probably, I always feel that the more comfort Leju feels, the more I feel sorry for him."

[Why do you think so?]

"Don't you think in Qiyue that this is my brother who has been taking care of me...? And what have I given him?...A few days ago, he even took the initiative to tell me that he would definitely take me to...that place.

.....The more these thoughts take root in my head, the more out of breath I feel...It seems that I have nothing that Lejun needs..."

Tianhai Qimingyue stopped tapping her fingers on the table.

She turned her head and looked at her sister in the video conversation again. Her tone was correct and her emotions were normal, but when she said this, she turned her face away.

Everything is obviously normal.

But it seems that at this moment, my sister is full of anxiety and uneasiness.

While feeling anxious, my sister was still trying to control her inner emotions, which is why she said these words to herself now.

[My sister has really never changed.]

"What?"

[Sister is still as weak as ever.]

"Weak as ever..."

Tianhai Qimingyue deflected her sight again, and her fingertips continued to lightly hit the wooden board of the table:

[My sister’s uneasiness comes from not understanding my own value, and from the fact that my sister will deny your own value, sister... But my sister has never thought that my sister herself has value. Even if she is standing still, what will she do?

Even if you don’t do it, there will still be people who will love you and people who will want to care about you.

[The first thing my sister needs to understand is that everyone has his or her own value and meaning of existence. It does not require external affirmation or approval. It is also a value to oneself.]
