Xiao Xiao didn't dare to think about it. If the child Guo Shan knew that his sister had always known his pain but didn't say anything, what would that strong and gentle child think?
Will it crash?
No, he knew that the child would forgive his sister.
No matter how sad I am, I will still forgive my sister for whom I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect her.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at Guo Shan, how could she see the parasitic vine monster?
How could she be willing to let her brother face all that alone and fight alone?
How could she be so cruel as to pretend that nothing had happened in front of her brother?
…
You really can't underestimate children.
Xiao Xiao felt this.
My brother is amazing. He endured great pain but didn't let anyone doubt him.
However, this child may be hoping that someone will doubt him, right?
Discovering that something is wrong with him and entering his world, even just a word of comfort can be his salvation.
…
However, my brother is great, and my sister is even more powerful.
Probably it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and even children as young as this are no exception.
Guo Shan perfectly played the role of a ignorant and ignorant sister in front of her brother.
Perhaps part of the reason is that Guo Shan was occupied by monsters and had no time to notice anything wrong with his sister.
…
"Master Xiao."
Guo Shan cried until her eyes were blurred with tears. She looked at Xiao Xiao blankly and shouted softly, her voice becoming hoarse due to the hysteria before.
For two years, this incident has been a thorn in her heart.
It hurt her so much.
But she could only let the wound continue to bleed and suppurate without being able to pull out the sharp thorn.
It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.
...
She hated herself for being timid and cowardly, but she couldn't change it.
What's even more frightening is that as time goes by, she is horrified to discover that she, who could only pretend to have discovered nothing in front of her brother even if she put all her efforts into it, actually becomes better and better at pretending day by day.
?!
Even though she didn't want to do this, unconsciously, she became more and more accustomed to ignoring or even ignoring her brother's pain.
She was used to her brother's pale and sunken cheeks, her thin body, and his occasional talking to himself.
I'm used to it and even secretly feel lucky that my brother keeps distance from me.
As for her brother's eyes that once made her so painful and frightened that she dared not look directly at them, they were like eyes covered with a thick layer of gloom. She could now look at each other briefly with an innocent smile.
This kind of myself is really scary!
...
She had already forgotten what her original brother looked like.
How could she get used to such a haggard and weak brother?!
...
There was not a day that went by that her heart was not suffering.
However, the pain caused her to become numb.
She was no longer anxious about her brother's painful look, no longer flustered by her brother's too pale face, and no longer even felt heartbroken by her brother's normal smile.
It was obviously so painful and difficult to pretend at the beginning, but when did it become a natural disregard.
Ignore your brother's pain.
Ignore your brother's despair.
Ignore my brother’s cry for help!
…
However, just a few days ago, she saw her brother's bright smile without a hint of gloom for the first time in a long time.
She was stunned for a long time.
Her brother's worried voice reached her ears, and she suddenly came back to her senses. Then, she discovered it!
The looming monster in my brother is gone!
At that moment, her mind went blank and she wanted to cry.
She bit her lip tightly, and after a stinging pain, the smell of rust filled her mouth.
She stared at her brother with her eyes wide open, and "scanned" him carefully from top to bottom, left to right.
Really, no more!
Before she could react, tears fell unexpectedly.
...
Although her brother was flustered and hurriedly trying to comfort her, she cried for a long time.
…
Her brother was fine, but she couldn't let herself feel at ease and let the matter pass so lightly.
Even though she expected it in her heart.
But the next moment, she would scold herself in her heart: How could she be so shameless?
...
She had actually thought about it more than once, how nice it would be if she couldn't see.
Like everyone else, she didn't see a monster haunting her brother.
That way, she wouldn't have discovered that she was such a cowardly, selfish, and cowardly person.
That way, she won't be in torment all the time without relief.
She was really in pain.
Why should she see it?
…
Brother is fine.
She is really happy, very happy.
I'm so happy that I can't find my way around.
She saw her chance at redemption.
She wanted to confess her mistakes, but looking at her brother's smile that had never changed, she found with great frustration that she couldn't speak out.
Because she is so scared.
I am afraid that my brother will never pay attention to me again.
She couldn't bear such a result.
After several attempts to speak, she gave up.
She once again chose to retreat.
...
However, there was no way to confess to her brother, so where could she express her regret?
She secretly read her brother's diary.
She knew about Master Xiao.
So, she appeared here today.
Come meet this hero who saved your brother and made him admire him so much - Master Xiao.
She came to thank and to repent.
She needs to talk.
She...needs to understand.
…
"Master Xiao."
Guo Shan murmured again.
She looked at Master Xiao, with unknowing hope and desire in her eyes.
…
"Master Xiao?"
Guo Shan felt inexplicably uneasy about Xiao Xiao's silence.
After the bamboo tube crackled like pouring beans, Guo Shan's mood was no longer as exciting as it was at the beginning.
Maybe I'm a little tired.
As she slowly calmed down, she noticed the strange silence in the bedroom.
She could clearly hear her heavy breathing and uncontrollable hiccups from time to time.
After all, she is a girl. Even though she is still young, Guo Shan is still a little shy about her hiccups.
Her hand that was originally held by Xiao Xiao was released at some point.
She tried to take a deep breath, clenched her little hands into fists and tapped her chest lightly.
…
Guo Shan slowly stopped what she was doing, and couldn't help but clench her hands tightly together.
Thin green veins appeared on the back of the child's white hands.
She could even look her brother in the eye, but she lowered her eyelids under Xiao Xiao's dull gaze.
She held her breath and concentrated, not even daring to breathe out.
There seemed to be a burning sensation in the corners of her eyes again, but she did not dare to let it flow down easily.
…
The little child huddled up looked too pitiful, not to mention that Xiao Xiao could clearly see the child shivering.
He heard her regret and pain, as well as her luck and fear.
