I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In the Duke's Mansion, with its carved beams and painted buildings and deep courtyards, the sun was like a golden veil, gently sprinkled on every inch of land, and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of flower fragrance, mixed with the unique quaint atmosphere of ancient buildings, filling the air. Chen Jue supported Chen Jia and walked carefully in this mansion full of stories.

Chen Jia was still a little weak and her face was a little pale, but under Chen Jue's careful care, her eyes had some brilliance. She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue dress, and the hem of her dress swayed gently with her steps, as if she was a blue flower dancing in the breeze. Chen Jue was focused, and his eyes never left his sister. His eyes were full of worry and care, fearing that his sister would feel the slightest discomfort. He was dressed in a blue shirt, with an upright posture, walking side by side with his sister, with one hand firmly holding his sister's arm.

They walked along the winding corridor, the bluestone road under their feet was polished by time and smooth like a mirror, reflecting the two figures. The pillars of the corridor were carved with exquisite patterns, including dragons and phoenixes, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Every detail was lifelike, as if telling the former glory of the Duke's Mansion. Chen Jia's eyes were attracted by these carvings, and she showed admiration in her eyes, "Xiao Jue, look at these carvings, they are really exquisite. Why didn't I find them so interesting when I was a child?" She raised her head slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and a curious light flashing in her eyes.

Chen Jue followed his sister's gaze and nodded in response: "Yes, sister. These carvings are the painstaking work of the craftsmen. Every cut contains their skills and emotions. Just like our lives, every ordinary moment is worth savoring." His voice was gentle and steady, like the breeze in the Duke's Mansion, giving people a sense of security.

The two walked slowly through the corridor and came to the garden. In the garden, flowers were in full bloom, colorful flowers competing for beauty, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow. The breeze blew, and the flowers swayed gently, as if nodding and greeting them, and also sent bursts of rich fragrance, which lingered in the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy. In the flowers, butterflies and bees were dancing, they were busy shuttling between the stamens, adding a bit of vitality to this beautiful picture.

Chen Jia took a deep breath, feeling the beautiful atmosphere. "Xiaojue, look at these flowers, they are so beautiful. I feel so much better after walking here." Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her eyes were shining, as if the beauty of the flowers had been reflected in her heart. She gently closed her eyes and took another deep breath, as if to keep the fragrance of the flowers in her memory forever.

Chen Jue smiled and nodded, his eyes never leaving his sister's face. Looking at the glow blooming again on his sister's face, his heart was filled with joy. "Yes, sister, the flowers here are all carefully cared for by the gardeners in the mansion, just like I take care of you. I hope you can always be happy." His eyes were full of doting, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a warm smile.

They walked slowly along the cobblestone path. Chen Jue kept an eye on her sister's pace, fearing that she would get too tired. The pebbles were of different sizes and shapes, but they were arranged very neatly, gleaming in the sunlight. The flowers and green grass on both sides of the path seemed to have been inlaid with colorful lace, and every step she took was like walking through a painting.

Occasionally, butterflies danced among the flowers, their colorful wings sparkling with charming luster in the sun, like flowing colors. Chen Jia's eyes were attracted to them, and her eyes were full of surprise and joy. "Xiao Jue, look at that butterfly, how beautiful it is, like a moving painting." She stopped and bent down slightly, wanting to observe the butterfly more closely, with a childlike innocence in her eyes.

Chen Jue followed his sister's gaze and said, "Sister, when you are fully recovered, we can try to paint these beautiful butterflies. We can use the most delicate brushstrokes to depict their beauty and preserve this moment forever." His eyes revealed anticipation, as if he had already seen the heartwarming scene of the two of them painting together after his sister recovered.

Chen Jia stood up and patted Chen Jue's hand gently, "Xiao Jue, you always have so many good ideas. I'm really looking forward to that day." Her smile became even brighter, and her eyes were full of longing for the future.

As they walked, they came to a small pond in the garden. The water in the pond was crystal clear, and the surface was like a mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding scenery. Lotus leaves were crowded and covered the surface of the water, as if covering the pond with a green blanket. Crystal clear water droplets rolled on the lotus leaves, and under the sunlight, they looked like bright pearls. Some of the lotus flowers were still buds, waiting to bloom, like shy girls; some were already in full bloom, with pink petals and golden stamens, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Chen Jia looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, her eyes full of admiration, "Xiao Jue, look at these lotus flowers, they are pure and untainted by the mud, they are really charming. They are like gentlemen in this world, they can maintain their purity no matter what the environment is." She moved slightly closer to the pond, wanting to see more clearly, and Chen Jue held her tightly to ensure her safety.

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Sister, you are right. Lotus has always been a favorite in the writings of literati and poets. Their beauty lies not only in their appearance, but also in their inner qualities. Just like in our lives, we must stick to our original intentions and not be contaminated by the world." His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.

There is a small pavilion beside the pond. The top of the pavilion is made of glazed tiles, which sparkles with colorful light in the sun. There are several strings of wind chimes hanging on the pillars of the pavilion. When the breeze blows, the wind chimes make crisp and pleasant sounds, adding a bit of agility to this quiet scene. Chen Jue helped Chen Jia walk into the pavilion, and the two sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Chen Jia sighed softly, "Xiao Jue, this illness made me think a lot. When I was unconscious, I felt like I was wandering in the dark, but I knew you would come to save me. The desire for life and the attachment to my loved ones make me cherish everything I have now even more." There was a hint of emotion in her eyes, and her expression became a little solemn.

Chen Jue held his sister's hand and patted it gently. "Sister, it is our greatest luck that you woke up safely. This experience also made me understand how important you are to me. From now on, I will never let you get hurt again." His eyes were firm and sincere, staring into his sister's eyes, as if he was making an eternal vow to her.

The two rested in the pavilion for a while, and then continued on their way. They passed by a bamboo forest, where the bamboos were tall and slender, and the green bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, as if playing a melodious piece of music. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, forming patches of light, like golden stars on the ground.

Chen Jia walked into the bamboo forest, feeling the quiet atmosphere, "Xiao Jue, it's so quiet here, it makes people feel calm." She closed her eyes, listened to the rustling sound of bamboo leaves, and a relaxed expression appeared on her face.

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Sister, if you like, we can come here often. In this noisy world, it is a blessing to have such a quiet place." He reached out to catch a fallen bamboo leaf and looked carefully at the patterns on it. The patterns were like mysterious symbols written by nature.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, they came to the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. There was a rockery in the backyard, with jagged rocks and many small caves and gaps. Next to the rockery was a lush meadow with some unknown small flowers blooming on the meadow, colorful, as if embroidering beautiful patterns on the meadow.

Chen Jia looked at the rockery with a hint of interest in her eyes, "Xiao Jue, we used to play hide-and-seek on this rockery when we were kids, do you still remember?" Her face was filled with a smile of reminiscence and her eyes were sparkling with happiness.

Chen Jue smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember, sister. At that time, you could always find some very secret places to hide, and it took me a long time to find you." His eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he had returned to that carefree childhood.

They walked around the rockery, reminiscing about their childhood, their laughter echoing in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. Although Chen Jia's body had not yet fully recovered, she was in better spirits during the walk, and the relationship between her and Chen Jue became deeper in this warm atmosphere.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed orange-red. Chen Jue supported Chen Jia and walked back slowly. Their figures were stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were a warm silhouette, embedded in the ancient and beautiful painting of the Duke's Mansion. Along the way, they didn't say much, but just quietly enjoyed this rare tranquility and the warmth of family affection, and their hearts were closer to each other.
