"Ling, are you awake?"

I knocked on Ling's door and asked in a gentle voice.

"Bang, bang, bang."

At this point, my heart was beating a little faster.

Because I have a lot of questions about Ling in my heart that I want to be answered, and I am also a little worried that she is obsessed with some things and ignores me.

Time seemed to stand still.

After I knocked on the door, there was no answer for ten seconds.

"Well, I'm awake."

Ten seconds later, Ling slowly spoke in a clear voice.

Whew-

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Ling didn't care too much about some things.

"I brought you breakfast, how was your sleep last night?"

I slowly placed the breakfast tray in front of Ling's door, and then asked with some kindness.

"I slept well."

Through the door, she said succinctly, her voice was closer, probably coming to the side of the door or leaning against the door to talk to me.

Ling didn't let me into the room, which I understand, after all, it's always been like this, usually I can't enter her room without absolutely important things, not to mention that now she probably just woke up and hasn't washed and changed clothes, girls pay attention to their appearance in front of others.

So you can talk.

However, I still need to get to the point quickly, and I want to ask a few questions that I have been worried about just now, and listen to Ling's personal answers.

I made up my mind in my heart, and slowly sat down in front of Ling's door, leaning against hers.

"Ling, that second personality of yours, how is it now.......

I asked slowly, clenching my fists slightly.

“……”

There was a period of silence, Ling seemed to be thinking and hesitating about something, but did not speak.

"My second personality is settled down now and did something impulsive to God yesterday...... I'm sorry. ”

Ling was inside the door, and said slowly word by word, she rarely apologized to me.

Well...... But since Ling said that, he probably remembered what the second personality had done.

"It's okay, Ling, I don't mind."

I slowly comforted her.

“……”

There was silence between the two for a moment.

No.

Ji Shen, it's not that Ling needs to apologize to you.

There are some things that require you to apologize to Ling, whether it was last night or something a long time ago.

"Ling, I feel ...... about some things I'm sorry for you. ”

I leaned against Ling's door and spoke in a heavy tone.

“…….”

She didn't speak.

"When I was a child, we should have seen the stars together at the top of the Crescent Mountain, and at that time, we also made a promise."

I continued, reminiscing about the past with Ling.

In my mind, I can't help but have a picture:

Under the deep and distant night sky, a girl in a white dress faces a boy, hooking her fingers under the starry sky, and makes a lifelong appointment.

"Our agreement, I remember now, we said: no matter what the future may change, we will keep our promise today, we will be married, we will be together forever, if our love will be difficult - please let us become birds and fly away......."

I said the words of the year word for word, but not with affection, but in a somewhat bitter tone.

It's a beautiful appointment.

However, it is unrealistic and ethereal.

Now, Ling and I are real brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters who are not allowed to fall in love by the world.

What's more, we are both bound by a troublesome second personality and are prone to make mistakes.

Therefore, we can only be normal brothers and sisters, carefully separated by a heart door, reserved to each other, completely forgetting the love when we were children, and linking the bond between the two with family affection.

Say it, Ji Shen.

If you don't make it clear to Ling now, it will only keep us both hurting in the future.

I leaned against Ling's door, my hand hanging slightly—and then, speaking:

"Ling, the agreement we made when we were children was a mistake, a very unrealistic and absurd mistake."

I said with a wry smile.

”…….“

She still didn't speak.

"We are brother and sister, and we can only be brothers and sisters in this life, in fact, I asked you yesterday to bring our relationship closer in a way similar to that of lovers..... But now, I don't think even that is realistic. “

I said this through the door, feeling so bad that I had to force myself to say it.

"We both have a second personality, and if we don't keep a certain distance, it will only bring great sadness to the two of us....extremely sad ending.....

I clenched my fists, leaned hard against the door, gritted my teeth and said what was in my heart.

The breakfast on the side was slowly steaming up, and the empty corridor showed a faint loneliness and sadness.

Then, with a wry smile, I spoke:

"Ling, let's forget everything we got before and become a normal brother and sister, okay?"

Through the door, I said this and bowed my head.

At that moment, the fingertips also fell into the palm of the hand.

In my heart, the beautiful picture of the boy and the girl making a marriage contract under the starry sky slowly cracked, collapsed, and then fell apart.

Time seems to stand still.

Ling inside the door, since I just introduced this topic, I haven't said a word.

"Whew-"

A cool breeze blew in through the window, blowing the bangs that had been covering my eyes.

"Well, so be it."

Inside the door, Ling's voice finally came.

A few simple words announce the end of all our love.

The moment she said these words, I felt that a stone in my heart might have been put down, or maybe it was even more depressed.

I think I should be in a good mood and breathe a sigh of relief, but there is still a feeling of tightness and weakness in my chest, which makes my body soften.

However, I can't change my decision because of this fleeting feeling.

The end is the end.

"Hmm..... Then so be it, breakfast is for you at the door, don't eat it when it's cold, it's not good for your health. “

I said this to Ling, and then stood up tremblingly, no longer leaning against her door.

"Uh-huh....."

For my advice, Ling gently responded.

"By the way, when Ling's body was hot last night, I wiped your body slightly..... Sorry, I hope you don't mind. “

I remembered it and apologized to her.

"Uh-huh....."

Ling still answered me with one word.

"Okay, then I'll go, pay attention to your body."

I finally gave a somewhat long-winded remark.

"Hmmm......"

Ling replied softly.

"Click, click, click."

Then I walked away away from her room.

When he left, the fingertips of his fingers were kept fierce, fiercely inserted in the palm of his hand.

I was right to do so.

I was right to do so.

I did that, and I was right.

I said this in my heart.

"Boom-"

But when I got back to my room, I gritted my teeth and punched the door—

…….

【

In the room next to Ji Shen, the girl sat on the bed with her knees crossed and her long hair draped.

"Stupid..... A sucker..... Stupid ......"

She buried her head in her jade white knees and sobbed quietly.

"Click, click, click......"

Crystal tears, drop by drop, dripped on the bed, and then slowly spread.

She heard every word he said just now, very clearly.

The two of them were obviously leaning back to back on the door, but she felt as if they were separated by infinite distance.

From the moment he said those heartless words to herself, she wanted to shout at him for being stupid and pour out her love to him.

However, she did not say it.

There was something that seemed to keep choking her throat, making her calm all her hysteria and turn it into indifference.

She hugged her knees with one hand, and slowly flipped through a thick book with some yellowing with her fingertips in the other.

The notebook is her diary, engraved with her love for the boy from the day he agreed, ten years ago - to the present ten years, three thousand six hundred and fifty days.

"What do you say about your impulsiveness when you were a child, and what do you say about forgetting your old ......"

She whispered, tears streaming down the diary.

"Click-"

Then a crystal teardrop, dripping on her first sentence ten years ago.

[I like my brother Ji Shen, no matter what happens in the future, I will always like him. 】

Her fingertips gently caressed the sentence—

Then, the red lips opened lightly and spoke—

"I've always, always liked you, loved you—stupid brother."
