"yes, I miss it so much that I built it from memory. Belch...... But there seems to be something missing here. Lu Daoheng walked around the study, thought about an empty corner for a long time, scratched his head, and sighed, "Sure enough, the memory has been blurred, what should be here?" ”

"That's Daddy's sunflower planted."

"Oh, come to think of it, it's it!"

Before the words fell, a pot of green and lush sunflower appeared in this empty corner. Lu Yunqian looked at this potted plant, hesitated for a moment, and said with some sadness: "This pot of sunflower began to turn yellow after you left, no matter how hard Dad tried to save it, it still became more and more yellow, and the leaves fell out a lot." I've not seen it look so beautiful in a long time. ”

The study suddenly became very quiet, and Lu Daoheng stood silently in front of the pot of loose-tailed sunflower he imagined. A strange light from the window shone into the room, scattering through the patterned glass on his body, and the thin figure became a little blurred, as if it would disappear in the next second.

Lu Yunqian was shocked, thinking that her brother was angry because of that sentence, so she immediately stepped forward and wanted to reach out to hold him, but heard a low question: "Then ...... Are you okay? ”

The outstretched hand was only ten centimeters away from the corner of his brother's clothes, but it stopped in mid-air. After a long time, she withdrew her hand, lowered her head and bit her lip to endure it, and said in a trembling voice, "They...... I miss you very much, especially my mother, she had a serious illness and her body has not recovered yet. Dad is also a lot older, and he's always trying to pretend to be strong, pretending to have come out of your business, because he needs to continue to support this family, otherwise, we're all going to collapse. I, I don't know if you still hate Daddy, but ...... If you can come and see me, you must be able to meet him, he really needs you! ”

"I understand, but I ...... I can't do it. Lu Daoheng replied weakly with his head hanging his head at the sunflower scattered.

"Huh?!" Lu Yunqian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Lu Daoheng turned around slowly, and finally stopped looking at the strange pot of loose tails, but shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hands and gestured to her surroundings and said: "You should also be aware that this is actually your dream, and I don't know why I suddenly entered here, so our meeting today was just an accident." I don't think I'll be able to stay here for a long time, and I may forget what I said when you wake up, but I still want to make a promise with you, okay? ”

"...... agreed?"

"Ever since my mother brought that weak, infant you to me eighteen years ago, a voice in my heart told me that I had become an older brother, an older brother with a duty to protect, an older brother who wanted to make his sister happy and happy. So I don't want to see you cry, but probably this weakness was caught by you, and once there is anything you are not satisfied with, you will use crying to make me compromise. ”

Lu Daoheng's brown eyes looked seriously at his sister who had been guarding him for more than ten years, and every word he said had a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen her appearance in the past few years from that innocent face.

She was still drooling and giggling in her swaddling clothes, chasing her to learn to walk, noisily feeding herself, and giving her a birthday card made by herself for the first time......

Time flies! You were a silly child when I left home, but now you're a slim girl. But my clocks are forever here, and you still have an endless way to go, and you can still ...... What can be done for you?

He paused for a moment immersed in memories, and when he noticed that there were tears in the corners of Lu Yunqian's eyes, he turned his gaze to the window of the study, and the happy smile on his face gradually disappeared, but with a little sadness: "But...... You have been spoiled by me, and by your parents, and you have started to become squeamish, timid, and cowardly. When something happens, you will either be in a hurry, so anxious that you will rush to the doctor, and you will grab anyone around you as a lifesaver to ask for help. Either they will hide the injured self like an ostrich in danger, hide it so that outsiders can't see it, and then force themselves to forget about it. For my thing...... Phew, that's what you did. ”

This call was almost word for word, Lu Yunqian held back tears and looked at her brother in a daze, feeling like she was discovered by her brother when she was a child. But it's not shame, it's fear, fear of being exposed about your weaknesses, fear that your brother will look down on you, and fear that you will hear about your weaknesses again later.

She was so scared that she wanted to run away, to avoid her brother's hot gaze. But her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she still stood there and listened quietly, after all, this was probably the last time she would speak face-to-face with her brother......

"So, the first promise I want to make with you is, don't cry."

"No...... Cry? Lu Yunqian mechanically repeated the most critical two words, but there was a hint of embarrassment in her doubts. Then he immediately sniffed as if he was reminded, but the cold tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes as if he were deliberately messing up, and made crystal marks on his face.

"Don't cry for prayer and compromise, don't cry for self-pity, don't cry for me." Lu Daoheng's eyes suddenly became deep, and he reached out lovingly like a father and wiped the tears that remained on her face, "Even if you really can't help it in the future, you must be strong after crying, reorganize your emotions, and know what to do in the next moment." Remember, sensibility is the river, and reason is the boat, and you have to steer the boat well in the water of the sensibility, but you must not let the river overturn your boat. ”

Originally...... Does my brother want me to be stronger?

The weak heart trembled suddenly, and the heart that was always wet and chattering was suddenly lifted away from the gloomy dark clouds by these words, and a beam of light came in, giving her endless strength to resist cowardice. Lu Yunqian nodded solemnly: "Well, I won't cry anymore, I definitely won't cry, I want to be as strong as you, brother, don't worry!" ”

"Ha......" Lu Daoheng smiled, he knew that his sister had indeed listened to these words, so he smiled very comfortably.

"That~ brother, with the first one, is there a second agreement?" Lu Yunqian asked curiously.

"Well, the second agreement is to follow your heart and do what you like."

"What I like ......" In the blink of an eye, Lu Yunqian's mind was immediately filled with scenes of fierce battles, looking at herself for so many years, it seemed that there had never been any interest in anything that could be higher than fierce battles. But then she thought of her father, and knew that it was impossible, so she fell silent again.
