Fate has tied us together, why exactly? I believe in fate, but I have never felt as strongly as I do now.
Master Abbot told me that my sister and I are destined to live together. If we separate, we will suffer, but if we join, we will benefit.
My sister didn't know what I was struggling with, and thought I didn't believe her. She quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoxia, do you always have a grudge against your sister?"
"Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so indifferent during this time." After I came back from my dazed thoughts, the words my father told me when he entered the yin and yang world appeared in my mind along with him, making me look ashamed.
Some of them didn't dare to look at their sister, so they had to lower their heads and said.
"Silly brother, how could my sister blame you? I'm just worried that you might be hiding something in your heart. Now it seems that you are dissatisfied with your sister." My sister sat next to me, smiled softly, and held my hand.
"Sister!" I raised my head, looked at her, and took her into my arms.
"Well, are you going to strangle your sister to death?" It seemed that I accidentally strangled my neck, causing my sister to look up and stare at me, saying dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, this is better." I put in a little more strength and said with a smile.
My sister, on the other hand, was playing with her hair and telling me things I didn't know.
Especially about the English speech contest, it turned out that they didn't want me to know because they were afraid that I would worry, or they were afraid that I would think too much.
When Liu Mengying proposed it, she wholeheartedly agreed.
There is no other reason. My sister hopes that I will have the ability to protect myself. If I meet Abe Seimei or other island country onmyoji, I will directly use the curse, so they hide it from me.
After listening to her detailed explanation and knowing the truth, I felt very uncomfortable and regretted that I had wrongly blamed her.
"Okay, if you still dare to treat me as an outsider in the future, will you see if I ignore you?" My sister broke out of my arms, blushed and held her pink fist at me, protesting.
If she is like this, if my classmates know about it, I may not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Sister, you have a lot of knowledge, don't care about me." I looked at her with a pitiful look on my neck.
…
At the end of the year, it’s the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar.
Lanterns decorated with colorful lights were hung all over the streets and alleys, making the whole world feel festive. The laughter and laughter from a distance came from time to time, making my heart feel warm.
Looking at the laughing and busy people, I smiled at my sister, took her hand and ran deeper into the alley.
"Xiaoxia, why did you drag your sister here?" Looking at the people everywhere in the alley, my sister didn't understand why I dragged her here, so she asked.
"Sister, look here?" I pointed to a small couplet restaurant deep in the alley.
"Didn't you already buy the couplet?"
"Sister, have you forgotten that we haven't bought our bedroom yet?"
"No need to post it in the bedroom!"
"Hey, let's go."
I smiled mysteriously, picked her up and walked towards the couplet shop.
On the other hand, there were many people waiting in line at the Couplet Restaurant, so we found our way and followed the queue.
"Hey, don't worry, everyone. Get your change ready. I'll help you write a couplet for five yuan."
Hearing what the old man said, my sister turned her head and looked over. Unfortunately, there were still too many people, so she couldn't help but raise her head and asked: "Xiao Xia, did you say this couplet yourself, and then the old man wrote it for you?"
"Sister, yes. Every year, my father and I come here to write to the old man. Unfortunately, my father is gone this year, so I have to drag you here." I looked at my sister with a sad expression.
My sister smiled slightly: "Xiaoxia, my sister will accompany you here every year to write."
She saw why I dragged her here. Writing couplets has become a part of my New Year celebrations and has become a habit.
During the long wait, the old man looked at us and smiled slightly: "Hey, little guy, we are here again this year. Is this your girlfriend? She is so handsome."
"Old sir, this is my sister." I looked at my sister who blushed at what he said first, and explained to the old man with a smile.
"Haha, what couplet do you want to write?"
I didn't rush to say it, but asked my sister: "Sister, do you have any good couplets?"
"Xiaoxia, are you coming?"
"Okay then!" I nodded, looked at the old gentleman and said, "Thousands of doors will open to welcome the new year, and thousands of people will look up to welcome the new year. Thousands of people will be marching towards the four modernizations to make every move a breeze."
"Young man, you have a good mind, okay, I'll write it for you." The old gentleman smiled slightly and praised quickly.
Watching him write with great energy, strong and graceful, I couldn't take my eyes off him.
It is also interesting to watch people write, especially this old man. As long as I can remember, my father will take me here.
After finishing writing, the old gentleman wanted to chat with me for a few more words, but the people behind him started urging me, so I had no choice but to take the couplet I just finished and drag my sister out.
After walking out of the alley, my sister looked at me with some confusion: "Xiao Xia, apart from the good calligraphy, is there anything special about this couplet?"
"Sister, after going through so many things, you probably won't think that some things in this world are not nonsense. The old gentleman's calligraphy, my father once said, can be used to control the house. It is very effective."
"Then do you want to write another one?" After hearing what I said, my sister looked at me in surprise and asked.
"Okay, sister, this one is enough. Paste this one on the door. Paste the other ones on the other doorways."
Come out of the alley and go straight to the parking area.
When I got home, the things I bought made me, the only laborer, very tired.
After spending half a day, my sister and I made the house full of warmth and sweetness, not too deserted.
"Sister, let's make some things to eat during the Spring Festival." I smiled, "By the way, sister, how did you live alone before?"
"Ever since my grandparents passed away, I have just made some simple meals alone during the Spring Festival every year." When my sister recalled the days when she spent the Spring Festival alone, her face was inevitably a little lonely.
"Sister, I'm sorry for accidentally asking you about something sad."
"It's okay, I will have you in the future, and my sister will no longer be alone." My sister was optimistic and smiled warmly at me.
After two or three days of busy work, New Year's Eve came as promised.
On New Year's Eve, my sister and I spent it happily.
That night, my sister and I didn't know how we ended up in bed. On New Year's Day, we found that we were sleeping hugging each other.
It seemed that because she had a criminal record, my sister was not shy at all. On the contrary, she looked at me and made her face turn red with embarrassment.
However, feeling the joy, I just stayed in bed and slept for a while. My sister didn't call me. She obviously knew that we have a custom here and we are not allowed to wake our relatives up early in the morning for three days on New Year's Eve.
