Ema's younger brother

words21:35:30

"Snapped--"

The crisp beating sound resounded in the silent ward.

Hinata, who had a needle on the back of his hand, turned his head sideways, his left cheek turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin irritated by the pain gradually swelled.

Ema withdrew the hand that slapped her younger brother just now, her brown eyes were cold and paranoid: "Why did Chen hurt himself? Why couldn't he protect himself well? Do you not value your own life like this?! "

For the first time, the gentle and weak girl abandoned her tears and prayers. Standing beside the hospital bed, only determination and anger remained on her beautiful face.

......

The Asahina brothers who were driven out of the ward by Ema looked at each other listening to the voice in the room.

After hesitating for a while, the men still decided to stay outside the door and wait and see what happened. Although they were already new family members, there were still some things that they could not intervene at will.

In the room—

With a pale face, Ryu Xiangchen gently raised his lips: "My...fate?"

The curvature of his face was the usual ridicule and disdain, but the dark red eyes were covered with a shadow of obscure emotions, and the whole person was like a withered and yellowed flower.

There is no longer any trace of life.

"Sister..." The boy sitting on the bed stared at Ema, and called out a title he hadn't said in a few years, "Do you... value my life... ?”

"What does Chen think?"

Ema, who was so calm that she asked back, sat down beside Hinata Chen, put her hands on the boy's fair neck, and lingered on the boy's delicate collarbone.

Ryu Xiangchen frowned slightly, and dodged back uncomfortably—but was immediately caught by the throat.

"When Chen was injured and refused to tell me the reason, when Chen refused my care again and again, when Chen got closer and closer to others... I was in pain."

"It's so painful...I already want to kill Chen."

Ema leaned on the boy's shoulder, and her whispered words wrapped around his body like a snake, making him lose the strength to struggle.

"But I can't bear it."

"I want Chen to depend on me, call me sister obediently, and look at me with concentration and admiration."

"Just look at me alone."

The lack of oxygen blurred Hinata Chen's hearing, he couldn't hear Ema's dark words clearly, he could only feel the other party's fingers gradually loosening up.

"Cough-cough-"

He leaned on the back of the bed and retched a few times in embarrassment, and the needle inserted in the back of his hand was accidentally inserted into the bone of his hand.

"hiss--"

Hyugamo pulled the needle out reflexively, blood flowed out from the needle hole.

Ema watched everything calmly.

Dust...don't reject my sister anymore...if only death can keep you from staying away from me and resisting me...

—I don't mind killing you with my own hands.

"I'm leaving the hospital."

The boy's weak voice stopped Ema, who was about to ring the call bell: "What did you say?"

Ema, whose expression was still cold, spoke softly, but her brown eyes darkened, and a cold emotion like ice in the abyss overflowed from her little by little.

"I said, I'm going to—"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Hinata looked behind Ema in horror, her slightly parted lips trembled uncontrollably.

"Run... run!"

The boy's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with water, and his weak and limp body fell to the ground, but he desperately crawled towards Ema: "Run... please. .....Sister...get out of here."

"dust......?"

Ema looked sideways - there was clearly nothing behind her.

Frowning, she ran to Ryu Xiangchen's side, hugged him, and held his bloody palm: "I don't know what Chen saw, but I won't run away by myself."

--I beg you.

Ryu Xiangchen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, tears rolled down his fair and delicate cheeks and fell to the ground.

——He never wanted to kill someone important to him.

The bloody wraith's long hair reached the ground, and his black and rotting body was covered with maggots. It looked disgusting and frightening.

——Hi Xiangchen felt that he would never forget the appearance of the ghost who tore his parents apart, and the blood and stumps that were scattered on the ground that day were deeply imprinted in his soul.

"Don't be afraid, sister will protect you."

The girl holding him had a gentle voice, soft limbs, and a faint fragrance on her body.

Ryu Xiangchen stared at the resentful spirit with a distorted smile and stretched out his hand to pinch Ema's neck, the despair in his eyes became more and more profound...

"Ahhh-"

The Wraith screamed in pain.

After burning the hands of the Wraith, the golden light from Ema's body burned fiercely to other places of the Wraith, and the maggots crawling on it fled in panic.

——The spreading despair stopped.

Ryu Xiangchen suddenly remembered that when he was pinched by a resentful spirit in his childhood and couldn't break free, he faintly heard a trembling childish/tender/female voice when he fell into a coma.

——"You are not allowed to hurt my brother."

......

"Ugh..."

His white and slender fingers grabbed the corner of his sister's clothes, and the bruised teenager finally couldn't help crying loudly. The hoarse and tearing cry attracted the attention of Asahina brothers outside the ward.

"咚咚-"

Yachen knocked on the door, but got no response, he frowned worriedly.

"Crack-"

Chun turned the door lock with a cold face, and pushed the door open, but the picture imprinted in his eyes made him froze in place.

——The pale-faced boy crouched in the girl's arms fragilely, tears dripping down his curled eyelashes, washing away the pain and despair hidden in his eyes.

The sunlight fell into his ruby-like eyes, and the pear-yellow broken hair also rendered a soft warmth.

"Shh-"

Ema stretched out a finger in front of her lips, signaling them not to disturb Hinata.

Chun froze for a moment, his serious and calm face suddenly showed a frivolous and playful arc as usual, and his fingers also made an 'ok' gesture with exceptional sharpness.

The unexpectedly reliable five men quietly closed the door before the big event, turned around and showed a relaxed smile to the brothers sitting on the chair: "Don't worry, you can go in and see brother Sang later."

—Cry.

——For so many years, so many injuries, let’s cry out.

No need to alienate everyone in order to protect others, no need to suffer from the abandonment of my sister, no need to face hideous ghosts alone, no need to pretend to be indifferent to stab all good intentions.

three months ago -

"Does Xiaochen remember how he survived?"

The monk in white/cassock/cassock/ looked at the paper umbrella in his hand, and casually asked the boy beside him.

Hinata Chen was stunned for a moment: "I don't know."

"Well...that's it." Bei Daozhi closed the paper umbrella, and looked at his apprentice with a smile on his face, "Tell Xiaochen one thing, there is a kind of person in the world who is lucky... ...the laws of this world will protect them."

"I watched the stars at night, and found that Xiaochen will meet them, um... about three months later, and there are still as many as thirteen."

The monk nodded like a magic stick.

Hinata rolled his eyes, he didn't believe his master's words at all, after all, Bei Daozhi had tricked him more than once with the phrase 'gazing at the stars at night'.

"Believe what Master said, you will understand when you see it, people with great luck are a kind of existence that can be called a bug in the world."

Hinata boy expressed indifference to this.

......

"Well... In fact, there is one beside Xiaochen, a lucky man. But I won't tell you."

Quietly watching the back of the boy leaving, Bei Dao smiled and threw the paper umbrella in his hand on the ground.

——The paper umbrella immediately turned into black mist and disappeared into the air.
