Qiangwei stayed in Matsumoto Sho's arms and cried for a long time, so long that her voice became hoarse, so long that she finally fell asleep...
Matsumoto Sho had been holding her carefully, not allowing anyone to approach or speak. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, beautiful and without any defense against him, and suddenly felt so warm and warm.
These days, the man's damp and gloomy mood has been released by the appearance of roses. In Matsumoto Sho's eyes, roses are his medicine, the medicine that can cure all his pain!
Until the funeral was over and everyone left one after another, Qiangwei never woke up. Maybe in the girl's subconscious, she hoped to escape all this through sleep!
The church was empty, all the people were gone, only Matsumoto Sho and Qiangwei were left.
The man maintained the same posture for a long time, trying to make Qiangwei in his arms sleep more solidly and comfortably, so much so that he felt that his arms were almost completely sore and numb, but he still had no intention of waking Qiangwei.
He just watched her sleeping quietly, quiet and peaceful, like an angel.
Matsumoto Sho didn't know why Qiangwei appeared in a wedding dress, but in any case, in his eyes, she could become a bride now, because she was so beautiful, just like Rose.
Qiangwei finally woke up, as if she had gone through a hibernation. When she opened her eyes, she saw Matsumoto Sho's handsome and familiar face. Her heart was so peaceful that she didn't even feel scared anymore.
"you're awake?"
He was still looking at her, his voice was low and magnetic, making her feel as if she was about to fall asleep and feel peaceful.
"How long have I been asleep?"
She got up from his arms and rubbed her neck uncomfortably.
Although Matsumoto Sho's arms were warm and soft, her neck was still a little sore from the long sleep.
"Is it over? Oh, I was so confused that I fell asleep at the funeral!!"
The girl looked back at the empty church. There were no white wreaths, no mourners in black clothes, and the black and white portrait of the rose in the center of the church had also been taken away. The huge church was empty and quiet. It was unimaginable that just a few people were there.
A few hours ago, a sad funeral was held here!
"It's actually just a prank, right?"
Although Qiangwei asked Matsumoto Xiang with a smile, her tears could not help but fall down.
Matsumoto Sho remained silent and let out a long sigh. He held her hand and asked, "How did you know?"
"Newspapers, TV programs... Oh, the news is spreading all over the world, but as her only relative, I am the last one to know."
"you......"
That's right, Shangguan Yu has always been the focus of the media. How could such a big thing happen without letting people know about it?
He thought he could hide it from Qiangwei for at least a year and a half and let her be carefree for another year and a half. But now that he thinks about it, he was still too naive!
Matsumoto Sho looked at Qiangwei and couldn't say anything to comfort her.
He is a god in everyone's eyes, but at this moment he feels helpless and powerless as a god.
"Don't blame me. The reason I kept it secret from you was because I didn't want to make you sad."
Even now, Matsumoto Xiang does not regret that he deceived Qiangwei.
Because in his opinion, a black and white portrait with a peaceful smile is far easier to accept than a cold and stiff corpse.
Qiangwei wiped away her tears and said with a strong nasal voice: "Actually, when you came to see me that day, I knew you were hiding something from me, but I didn't expect..."
"I was too disobedient and willful. I didn't expect that the last time I saw her ended in a quarrel!"
Qiangwei really hated herself. It was clear that Rose's death had nothing to do with her, but when she thought of her former self-willed and disobedient self, who only knew how to cause trouble and make her sister angry, she blamed herself and wanted to slap herself.
"I was thinking, if I had been more obedient, nothing would have happened to my sister. If I had not quarreled with her, attended the dance obediently, and stayed at home with her, she would not have been killed!!"
When Qiangwei said this, she burst into tears even more.
When her sister was worried about her, she went missing. When her sister had an accident, she was still thinking about becoming a celebrity, and she was thinking about making some achievements to compare with her sister. She was really the best in the world.
The worst sister.
"Silly girl, you are not God. Life and death are impermanent, and it is not something you can control. Don't say such things again!"
Matsumoto Xiang looked at Qiangwei distressedly, she was just a child, why did God let a child endure so much.
If pain can be shared and transferred, how much he wants to share all the pain for her, how much he wants all her unhappiness to be transferred to him, even if he himself is already scarred...
"Without my sister, I will be an orphan that no one wants from now on!"
Rose is Qiangwei's only relative in this world. Now that Rose is dead, she no longer has any position to stay with Shangguan Yu. When she thinks of this, she can't help but feel sad.
She likes Shangguan Yu, the aloof man she needs to look up to. From the first time she saw him, she was deeply impressed by his strong and elegant charm like a king.
From then on, her little heart could only hold Shangguan Yu.
She knew that Shangguan Yu was her prospective brother-in-law, and she never thought about anything happening with him. She just liked him silently, enjoyed the days of living with him, and enjoyed them sitting at the same table to eat.
She tells jokes and he meddles with her...
The feeling of truly liking someone is that just looking at him is happiness. In Qiangwei's heart, every day she spent with Shangguan Yu was happiness, although sometimes his sweetness with her sister would make her heartbroken.
"How could it be? How could you be an orphan? There are so many people who love you around you..."
"The person who loves me? Oh, who will it be?"
Qiangwei shook her head, and with a maturity that did not match her age, she sighed heavily and said: "No one will love me, they only love my sister. Now that my sister is gone, who else will love me!"
She twisted her fingers and bent her slender fingers into various shapes. Even though she was still wearing a wedding dress, these little movements betrayed her!
After all, she is just a little girl who is not yet sixteen years old.
Legally speaking, she does not even have full civil responsibility. She has no right to decide major events in her life. Even if she is really an orphan, she can still apply for assistance from a welfare home at such a young age...
She is such a young girl, but her heart is more realistic than anyone else. She knew early on that she would be in an embarrassing situation in the future!
"Don't talk nonsense, everyone loves you very much, for example..."
When Matsumoto Xiang said this, his expression was a little unnatural, as if someone had discovered a little secret he had hidden for many years. He cleared his throat unnaturally and said: "For example, Yu, he has always loved her, and
It’s not all about the roses!”
"you mean……"
"I mean, you are you, Rose is Rose, we like you, not just because you are Rose's sister..."
"What's that for?"
Rose's eyes are simple and clear, as clean as spring water in the mountains.
Matsumoto Sho often gets lost in this spring water, how could he be willing to break the brightness and clarity in her eyes.
He pulled her up and said, "Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
Yes, where to go?
Her sister is gone, her only relative is gone, she has no home, where else can she go?
"Of course I'm going home, what you need most now is to have a good sleep!"
"No, I don't have a family anymore, I'm an orphan!"
She broke away from Shangguan Yu's hand and walked backwards, her high heels making a "clucking" sound on the ground, which looked particularly crisp in the empty church.
She once dreamed that one day she could wear high heels, but her sister always said that she was too young and inappropriate. At this time, she always thought about how wonderful it would be without her sister and how free she would be without her sister.
Now that she puts on high heels, she realizes that her sister is right, she is really too small, and she will only feel pain in her feet when wearing high heels...
However, growth is accompanied by pain, isn't it?
"I told you, you are not an orphan, no matter what, you still have me!"
Matsumoto Xiang looked at Qiangwei and said firmly: "I said, even if everyone in the world abandons you, I won't!"
"You said that once, but you still drove me away!"
"I did it because I had difficulties. I was afraid..."
The words came to my lips, but I still didn't have the courage to continue.
When the barrier between them is broken, it is still unknown whether they will be closer or farther apart. Matsumoto Sho does not dare to take this risk.
"Afraid? Are you afraid too?"
In Qiangwei's heart, Matsumoto Sho has always been the representative of omnipotence, and she never thought that he would be afraid.
"Of course I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Matsumoto Xiang wanted to say, "I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you," but before he could say it, Qiangwei's attention suddenly wasn't on him.
"listen……"
"What?"
He was confused by her surprise.
"Footsteps..."
Qiangwei held her breath and listened carefully, then she quickly rushed to the door of the church, leaving Matsumoto Sho behind.
The church door was pushed open, but Qiangwei threw herself tightly into Shangguan Yu's arms the moment it opened.
"elder brother……"
She called him with a tearful voice, burying her face tightly into Shangguan Yu's neck, as if the helpless grass had finally found a big tree to live on, and all the grievances and pains poured out at this moment, like a dam bursting.
Like a flood...
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Shangguan Yu gently patted Qiangwei's back with a tired voice. He seemed to be ten years older and as heavy as his father.
"It's okay, let's go home!"
Qiangwei was the only one that Rose could not let go of during her lifetime, and the only one who relied on him. The only thing he could do to make up for Rose was to be nice to Rose.
"Um!"
Qiangwei nodded heavily, and she and Shangguan Yu left here leaning on each other.
She seemed to have forgotten to look back, because if she was willing to look back, she would definitely see a pair of eyes watching her until she disappeared and never left.
He said that he would always watch her. Wherever she could see or not see, he was always there and would never leave...
