Li Xue lives in a chain five-star hotel, which is located close to the commercial street in the city center. Discomfort.

Whether it's the European-style fountain at the gate or the unique artwork in the hall, Li Yuan feels out of place. He has a cheerful and rough personality, and has no appreciation for art, let alone luxuries with gorgeous packaging.But Li Xue is different, she is full of romantic cells all over her body, and she is naturally sensitive to art beyond ordinary people. The poems and paintings she writes have a sense of otherworldliness, so some admirers will describe her as A fairy above the nine heavens.

But now, the fairy from the sky has fallen to the earth, and buried all her arrogance and restraint in the soil.

According to the information Li Xue left, Li Yuan found the room where she was, and after a few knocks, Li Xue, who was wearing a lace woolen suit, opened the door.

"Xiaoyuan, are you here?"

"Well, what about pretty?"

Li Xue invited him in, and then called him a pretty name.Li Yuan looked at this room, and found that it was actually a room in a suite market, with bedrooms, study rooms, and living rooms all available, and the area was surprisingly large. It seemed that Zhou Jianlong was quite generous to his mistress.

"No! I don't want it! I don't want him to take me, I want to go with you!"

A beautiful voice came from the bedroom inside, Li Yuan had already seen her arrogance and willfulness, so he didn't pay much attention to her words, this was the problem Li Xue wanted to solve.What he was interested in was that Li Xue brought Liangliang back to City A, so what about Zhou Jianlong?Is he back too?

Thinking of that middle-aged man with a beer belly, Li Yuan's stomach would feel faint pain. On that night five years ago, the other party broke two of his ribs, and one of the broken bones pierced into his stomach, making him For a long time he could only eat liquid food.During that period of time, he lost a full 15 catties, leaving only a skeleton and a skin, coupled with his livid and pale complexion, he can act in ghost movies in white clothes without makeup.

If Zhou Jianlong appeared in front of him again, Li Yuan was not sure whether he could suppress the impulse in his heart and let him taste the suffering he had suffered back then.

"Liangliang, my mother will be back in a while, can I let my uncle take you?"

"No, I don't want that countryman to take me, I want my father... um..."

As soon as the word "Father" was uttered, the little girl's voice stopped abruptly. Li Yuan looked towards the bedroom and found that Li Xue gagged her daughter's mouth, choking what she said below.

——Maybe it’s to take care of my feelings, or maybe I don’t want me to find out that Zhou Jianlong is also in City A and trouble him?

No matter what kind of possibility it is, Li Yuan thinks it is unnecessary, he is no longer the reckless boy five years ago, even if he wants to take revenge, he will think carefully, and will not do that stupid thing again.But in fact, he never even had this idea, because he once thought that his sister was being persecuted or deceived. Later, he found out that maybe he did play a very despicable role in this matter, but the main reason is that Li Xue herself.It was Li Xue who first gave up the ordinary happiness that was at his fingertips, and chose a road that seemed magnificent but was actually full of thorns.

"Have you forgotten what your mother told you? Liangliang is obedient, and my mother will be back in a while, and then I will take you to buy your favorite set of toys."

Li Yuan's hearing is excellent, even though Li Xue lowered his voice, he can still understand the general meaning.Probably all parents would be like Li Xue, who used some harmless lies to make their children obey. Li Xue told him that he would not be back until eight o'clock at the earliest. statement.

The mother and daughter finally reached a consensus, Li Xue led Liangliang out of the bedroom, and tried to get her to call Li Yuan uncle, but still failed.Li Xuemian poured Li Yuan a cup of tea apologetically, and as soon as he took it, he smelled a strange fragrance.

He had never smelled such a fragrance of tea. Although there were only a few young leaves, it gave off a mellow fragrance like strong tea. This made Li Yuan, who didn't understand the tea ceremony, sigh: "This tea is really fragrant..."

"Yes..." Li Xue responded.

Li Yuan was attracted by the tea fragrance and wanted to taste it eagerly. When he lowered his head, Li Xue showed a flustered expression. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.But in the few seconds when she was hesitating, Li Yuan had already drank the first sip of tea, the arm that Li Xue wanted to stop stayed in mid-air, and then slowly retracted.She had a sad expression on her face, but the moment Li Yuan turned her head, she forcibly pulled out a bitter smile.

"This tea is delicious."

When she heard her brother say this, she replied flatly: "Yes...the tea leaves from a friend..."

Her tone was very drawn out, and her tone was also very weird. Li Yuan glanced at her without knowing why, and found that her sister's stiff expression was half a smile, which looked very awkward.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xue quickly raised her lips, hid her remorse and self-blame in her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I probably have to leave tomorrow, I'm a little... reluctant..."

Really reluctant, how could there be no news for five years?

Li Yuan didn't say this, his sister couldn't turn back anymore, so why bother to say these things that embarrass both of them?

The taste of this tea is so good that Li Yuan couldn't help but drink a few more sips.Watching her younger brother take the second and third sips, Li Xue's fists were clenched tightly, and the round and long and narrow nails were deeply buried in the flesh, but she couldn't feel the pain.

Xiaoyuan...I'm sorry...but I really can't find a second way...

"Xiao Yuan, it's time, I should go, Jing Liang will leave to you." She pushed her daughter to Li Yuan's side, then put on her coat and pretended to leave.

"Don't worry, although she doesn't like me, and I'm not good at taking care of children, I must let her be well."

Li Xue nodded, and said goodbye to her younger brother with a grateful smile. Before leaving, she also asked Liangliang to listen to her uncle, but she still only got contemptuous looks from her daughter.

After the door was closed, only the uncle and nephew were left staring at each other in the big room. Li Yuan felt that he was only responsible for keeping Liangliang from accidents. .

Fortunately, Liangliang shared his thoughts on this point. After Li Xue left, she ran back to the bedroom to read her picture book.Li Yuan was sitting in the living room watching TV boredly, dialing the remote control back and forth, changing dozens of channels but not finding a single interesting program.

Not long after, Li Yuan felt that the room was a bit stuffy. At first he thought it was because the air conditioner was too hot, but when he picked up the remote control, he found that the air conditioner was not turned on at all.

He opened the window and let the cool breeze hit his reddened cheeks. At first it still had some effect, at least it cleared up his drowsy mind, but then it became less and less effective. The hotness and discomfort that Gao could explain, Li Yuan stumbled back to the living room, half lying on it crookedly, only felt that his mind was muddy and he couldn't think about anything.

How could this be?

He suspected that he was sick. Since meeting with Li Xue yesterday, his mood has been very low, resulting in extremely poor sleep quality at night.Could it be the reason?

This disease was so violent that Li Yuan, who was usually as strong as a cow, collapsed on the sofa.

His throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and he urgently needed liquid moisture, so he called out to Liangliang with a weak voice: "Liangliang, Liangliang, give me, give me a glass of water..."

I don't know if his voice was too low, or the little girl didn't want to talk to him at all, Liangliang never came out of the bedroom.Li Yuan's eyes became blurred, he stretched out his hand in front of him but saw two shadows.

This... is so abnormal...

No matter which time he had a fever or cold, he had never had this kind of symptom, and the onset of the disease was too fast and violent, it was not like a common disease at all, but rather caused by some kind of medicine...

No, impossible...

Thinking of the strangely scented cup of tea he just drank, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly denied this possibility. Li Xue had no reason to drug him, not only because he It's her relatives, and she has no value worthy of the other party's doing so.

Apart from the house left by his father, Li Yuan has nothing. Every item on Li Xue's body may cost him a whole month's salary, so she won't, won't...

The weird symptoms continued to worsen. He was dizzy and his limbs were weak.There is a phone on the coffee table next to the sofa. He wants to call the hotel reception, but he can't do it anyway. The arm he finally raised is always put down because it is too weak when he is about to touch the microphone. .

At this time, even making a sound became a difficult task. He tried desperately, but suddenly saw the skin on his arm exposed to the air.

It was a very bewitching pink, similar to the color of the petals of a peach blossom near the pistil. This delicate color appeared on a man's body, which was indescribably weird and inconsistent.

"Yes, is there anyone, pretty, pretty..."

Li Yuan felt that he was about to die, and a dazzling white light even appeared in front of his eyes, making him think he saw heaven.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening, which to him was no different from the sounds of nature, and he called for help in a weak voice: "Help, help me..."

But the other party didn't respond to him, and walked directly past him to the bedroom inside.

"Mom! Why did you come back so soon!"

Although it was already difficult for Li Yuan to distinguish the things in front of him, his hearing was not damaged because of this, Liang Liang's words were like a thunderbolt, splitting his chaotic mind.

He turned his head and tried to widen his eyes to see the person coming, but his vision was so blurred that he could only see a faint shadow, which was a slender figure in a houndstooth pattern dress woman.

And his sister walked out of the room wearing such a dress 10 minutes ago.

"Why...why..." A wet feeling came from his face, and tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously, just when he confirmed the identity of the person who came.

"Xiao Yuan, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I really can't help it..." Li Xue was already sobbing, she covered her mouth, turned her head away to dare not look at Li Yuan's weak appearance, she knew what would happen next , as the instigator of that tragedy, she was condemned by conscience uncontrollably.

She rushed out of the door with her daughter as if fleeing, and Li Yuan's angry and resentful eyes made her feel like a light on her back.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, letting the turbulent tears run down his cheeks. He didn't know what Li Xue wanted to do, but his intuition told him that it must be something he was extremely reluctant to do, otherwise Li Xue wouldn't use it. Such a despicable way to bring yourself into submission.

His spirit became more and more lax, until later, he couldn't even distinguish between reality and memory. The scene of his father taking the two siblings to visit his uncle's grave appeared in front of his eyes. It was the first time that his father hugged himself.

At this moment, he heard the sound of the door opening again...
