In the woman's whisper, the night is getting deep.

*

Late at night.

Some people still haven't fallen asleep.

The Guan family's old house had already turned off the lights, just waiting for the dream to come.

In the darkness, Guan Xi wore a lotus-coloured silk nightgown, went downstairs silently by the moonlight by the window, got a bottle of red wine by himself, and poured himself a glass in the kitchen.She sat on the cabinet, her long skirt moved up, revealing her ankles that were the same color as the moonlight, and the light from the wine swayed, as if reflecting the light in her eyes.

The shadows of the trees outside the window, she thought of the girl she met, her carefree face and calm and unrestrained figure, and the two lives that were intertwined because of a small mistake more than ten years ago.Thinking of her cheerfulness and friendliness, which is what she most yearned for and hoped for but could not become, the temperature of her fingertips seemed to be ignited inch by inch in an instant.

She curled her fingers.

She picked up the cup and took a sip, feeling bitter in her mouth, her ten-year life was like a joke.

How to do?

...Just occupying her identity openly like this, enjoying resources that shouldn't belong to her?No, it's not her.She has received so many years of education, not to be such a villain.Guan Xi is proud, she should always be proud and never fall into despicableness.

In the dark, Guan Xi caught a glimpse of the shadow at the door, the dog's eyes were bright like searchlights, it looked a little scary at first glance.The Alaska she raised is lively, enthusiastic, and loves to tear down the house.A dog that is the complete opposite of Guan Heping, a retired military dog ​​has a limited lifespan after all. Guan Xi lost his first best friend in his life and does not intend to replace her with another dog just like her.

Guan Xi glanced at it, ignored it, and took another sip of wine.

——What kind of people are her biological parents?

She tried her best to recall the stack of reports on the table, and the plain language simply described the first half of the two people's lives.It should be a good pair of parents to be able to teach people like Lu Yun.Guan Xi thought melancholy that the wine had bottomed out, and she simply drank it in one gulp, as if she had lost her sense of taste in her melancholy, unable to drink whether the wine was astringent or sweet, whether it was joy or depression.

She was a little scared.Even though she tried to straighten her chest, she closed her eyes and thought about what kind of scene she was about to face—those peers would only double-down on laughing at her, humiliation, embarrassment, and loneliness—thinking of this, Guan Xi almost wanted to change schools.

Her hands trembled a little, and she poured herself another glass tremblingly.

"You just wasted a good bottle of wine like this." Someone commented in the dark.

Her hand shook, and the glass fell from the high cabinet. Fortunately, the man reacted very quickly and caught the falling glass, but most of the wine was spilled.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes: "Brother."

Guan Yue let out a "hmm", put down the goblet, went to get another cup, and signaled to Guan Xi.

Guan Xi took a breath, held his breath, and poured wine for him, with the mouth of the bottle resting on the rim of the glass, shaking and shaking until there was a creaking glass sound.

Guan Yue stared at her deeply, and sighed softly.

The wine is full.

He was leaning against the cupboard, very close to Guan Xi, slowly shaking the cup, and said after a while: "This seems to be the first time our siblings drink."

Guan Xi smiled: "Because you don't drink much, brother."

"You're not an adult yet." Guan Yue said, his eyes were cold, "You shouldn't be drinking in the first place."

"It's red wine," she argued in a low voice, "very low alcohol content."

At some point, the big dog lay down at the feet of the two of them and fell down.

Both were silent.

Neither of them is good at words, the age difference between the two is eight years, although the eldest brother is like a father, but since he became busy as an adult, Guan Yue has no time to take care of this younger sister, and there is not much communication on weekdays , I don't even know what to say at this time.

The moonlight fell inch by inch, and the brother and sister, who were not related by blood, had no more conversations, and just drank the wine little by little under the shadow of the moonlight and trees.

The strength of wine rushed up little by little, Guan Xi felt a little dizzy, and finally fell asleep.She smiled to herself, went to get the wine bottle again, but was pressed down by Guan Yue: "Don't drink."

"elder brother--"

"Go back to sleep."

Guan Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, gave up struggling, and put the cup away: "...Okay, got it, let's go."

When he stepped through the kitchen door, he heard Guan Yue's voice, calm and steady.

"You will always be my sister."

—So don't be afraid.

Chapter 10

Monday is a sleepy day.

Lu Yun went to school with her schoolbag. On the way, she met a lot of yawning and weak students, walking on the campus with drooping eyes. The yawning seemed to be contagious, and Lu Yun couldn't help but hit one too, feeling very tired.When I arrived in the classroom, I found myself lying down. Except for those who were scribbling hard to catch up with their homework, everyone else's faces were covered with the word "indifference" that appeared due to lack of sleep.

Lu Yun was tall and sat in the third row from the bottom. As soon as he sat there, he took out his homework, and immediately stretched out his hands in all directions, almost tearing the exercise book into a hexagon.

"Whoever breaks it will pay for it." She also looked indifferent, and leaned back in her chair, "After copying, remember to hand it to the team leader for me, so that the old class won't find out."

"All right, all right." Xia Yi successfully snatched the exercise book from behind her, "Your exercise book is up to you, thank you sister Yun, I'll treat you to Mala Tang tomorrow."

Lu Yun waved his hand, yawned again, and fell asleep on the table - getting up at six o'clock in the morning is really terrible.
