"Just stop at the intersection in front." Seeing that they will soon reach the foot of the mountain, thinking about it, they can be sure of Qiao Yixia's safety.

After Lu Xizhan got out of the car, the driver lowered the window and said to Lu Xizhan who was about to leave: "Girl, the road here is not easy, be careful. Remember to pack more clothes, you will catch a cold easily if you wear too little." .”

No matter what time it is, a good-looking person will always make people like it a little more. Although Lu Xizhan is a bit mean, but with his good looks, the driver can't help but want to tell her a few more words.

The bitter cold wind gave Lu Xizhan a headache. She walked in the snowy world with a woolen coat in her arms, but she didn't want the sweater that had been stained with dirt to stain the coat that Qiao Yixia bought herself. When she came, she only had a thin sweater to keep out the cold.

The bell rang untimely, and looking at a string of unfamiliar numbers on the phone screen, Lu Xizhan pressed the answer button.

When Qiao Yixia returned to Lu Xizhan's house, there was a tall and graceful young woman standing outside the gate of the iron fence. It was not difficult to recognize that she was Helan Qiubai.Seeing Qiao Yixia appearing, Helan Qiubai was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled. It was a Helan Qiubai-style smile, beautiful and deep.Helan Qiubai was dressed gracefully, wearing a white turtleneck mink fleece sweater, a royal blue woolen coat, and a pair of Martin boots, which made her look even taller despite her already tall height.

"Miss Joe."

"Miss He Lan is here to find Professor Lu."

Helan Qiubai's smile deepened: "However, I don't want to look for her now. If Ms. Qiao is free, would you like to sit down with me?"

Qiao Yixia and Helan Qiubai went together to a cafe with a literary atmosphere not far from the foot of the mountain. Perhaps because of the weather, there were not many people, so the two chose a place by the window, and there was Feng Feifei's "Chasing After Love" in the shop. "Dreamman", the owner is a forest girl in her early twenties, humming a song.

"Yesterday, the weather forecast said it would snow, but unexpectedly, it actually snowed." He Lan Qiubai stirred the rich coffee in his cup with a small iron spoon, and his tone was as calm as a bowl of boiled water, "Xizhan must be very unhappy."

Qiao Yixia didn't respond, she lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"The first time I saw Xizhan was in such a snowy day. She was only 16 years old that year." He Lan Qiubai stopped stirring the coffee, as if he had a lot to say, but finally sighed With a sigh, she looked up at Qiao Yixia, "Didn't she ever mention anything about Xizhan to you?"

Qiao Yixia said, "I never asked."

Helan Qiubai smiled slightly, she really deserved to be someone who could be seen by Lu Xizhan, this arrogance was really comparable to her, she didn't say whether she had mentioned it, but said that she hadn't asked.

"Xizhan quarreled with you." It was not a question, but a plain statement.Just like the confident Helan Qiubai.

Now Qiao Yixia was startled.Seeing that she was at a loss, Helan Qiubai stroked her hair and said, "The last time I saw such heavy snow was ten years ago." Finally, Helan Qiubai's face became completely serious. The deep, serious expression can easily give people a sense of oppression, "The last time I saw Shuye was also ten years ago."

At the mention of this name, Helan Qiubai's eyes turned pale, but she took a breath and quickly returned to normal: "Xizhan's brother, Lu Shuye. He died ten years ago."

Qiao Yixia suddenly felt palpitations when she thought of Lu Xizhang serving food for her "brother" when she went to Lu's house that day.Come to think of it, Lucy must have a very good relationship with her brother.However, the pain of the death of a loved one can never be empathized. Only the person concerned can deeply experience the pain of the skin, the pain of life is worse than death.Just like when Xiaohui left him back then.

At that time, she was kneeling outside the morgue, hot tears stained her cheeks, and even pierced through the thick floor, but no matter how she shouted, how much she prayed that the person who died was her, time would never restart for her One more chance.

In fact, many times, people who are alive may not be luckier, because they have to spend their whole life remembering the person who is no longer there.

"I've heard Shuye say a long time ago that his sister is a genius, a treasure he holds in his hands. Shuye is a mad devil who loves sisters, and Xizhang, who can be seen from a distance in the eyes of outsiders, but not filthy Playing, she is always a little fairy who is high above her, and she only smiles like a child in front of her brother." He Lan Qiubai's eyes seemed to be filled with something, "My brother calls my sister Cang Cang, and my sister calls my brother Mang Mang, Shuye said that this was an agreement they had made since they were young. At that time, Xizhan was only five years old when she was in primary school, and she had already memorized poems. Ye Mangmang was repeated to Shuye, and Shuye told her that the sky was blue in order to tease her."

"Shuye said that Xizhan is the person he cherishes the most in this world. If you want to be with him, you have to accept that he will always put his sister first. I accept it. Because Xizhan is a person who let People can't help but cherish the girl. He has done a lot of incredible things for Xi Zhan. He always said that Xi Zhan is a genius. In my opinion, he is the real genius, because he is seven years away from Xi Zhan. He didn’t dare to skip a grade because he was afraid that his sister would have no one to take care of her when she went abroad, so she went to college step by step. In Xizhan’s freshman year, Shuye was in senior year like me, and chose to stay in Harvard for graduate school. The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is far beyond the imagination of others."

"But I'm not jealous, really." Helan Qiubai smiled, but it was extremely bitter, "In the second year of research, we got married, and I think I am the happiest person in the world. I really regard Xizhan as my My own sister will love you. If."

When she said this, she didn't continue talking, but changed the topic and said: "That day ten years ago was also a snowy day like this. Me, Shuye, Xizhan, the three of us were on the Harvard campus Taking a walk, I helped them take pictures of their brother and sister, two people who are usually the same wood, as long as they are with each other, they always smile very happily."

"But that day, the two siblings quarreled for the first time."

Helan Qiubai's tears finally dripped down and hit the table fiercely. Su Rui's "The Feeling of Heartache" is playing in the store now, which may be Helan Qiubai's heartfelt voice at this moment.

"Xizhan said, brother, you have forgotten your sister since you had a wife. You used to call me Cangcang, but now you call me Xizhan. Why, is it because you are afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous?"

"But Shuye said, it's just a title, why do you care so much. Xizhan was not angry at first, but after hearing what Shuye said, she became serious. She said, because that's what I agreed with you , You promised me, and I promised you. Shuye smiled and said that she was naive, and she was still so childish. After that, she was always depressed, and she said she would go back to review her homework before she left. It's very slow, I can see that she wants Shuye to chase her, even if it's just to coax her, but Shuye doesn't, Shuye told me that he has always been too spoiled by his sister, if this continues, he is worried It will be hard for her to get used to him not being around her one day."

Hot tears choked Helan Qiubai's throat, she took the tissue from Qiao Yixia, clenched her fists tightly to calm her emotions: "That night, something happened to Xizhan, that day, a pervert murderer that the fbi had been tracking Kuang finally made another move, but it was Xi Zhan who was kidnapped. A well-known FBI agent made friends with Shuye, informed Shuye of the specific situation at the first time, and agreed to him to participate in the follow-up investigation of this case. "

"Shu Ye, he is almost going crazy."

"As for the ending, you should know that Xizhan is safe and sound, and Shuye..." Helan Qiubai swallowed all the tears abruptly, wiped the tears off his face, and smiled stubbornly: "I didn't expect that." , One day I was able to recall what happened ten years ago so peacefully."

"Xizhan's paranoia also developed from that time. She didn't forget that memory, but she forgot Shuye's death. In her memory, Shuye didn't leave, but had both legs amputated and prosthetics replaced. But this has become the nightmare of my life."

Qiao Yixia didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, she suddenly felt that there might really be two people in the world who are attracted to each other because of the same experience, no wonder Lu Xizhan was already high above her, she got everything but couldn't get happiness .Because she, like her, is cursed by the heavens and will never live in peace.

"I don't hate her." He Lan Qiubai lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, "Because Shuye loves her. But she is no longer worthy of happiness."

Qiao Yixia met Helan Qiubai's eyes, and Helan Qiubai, who had always been gentle and charming, finally showed a look full of hostility: "You want to say, this is not her fault, she is also a victim." Helan Qiubai nodded, " Yes, so I will still treat her well, as long as she is not happy."

"I don't care what is right or wrong, I like her, so I will protect her, I want to make her live happier than anyone else." Qiao Yixia said word by word, right and wrong, it has nothing to do with her, she cares It's just Lucy, and as for who is right and who is wrong, she doesn't care at all.

"Like her?" Helan Qiubai laughed heartily as if hearing a big joke, "I like her only because she is special to you. But have you ever thought about why she is such a high-ranking person? To be nice to you for no reason?"

He Lan Qiubai stood up, pressed his hands on the table, leaned over to her, lowered his voice and smiled and said to her: "I don't think I can compare to Miss Qiao's appearance, but Miss Qiao didn't think that you and I, long Do they look alike?"

The time ticked by, the music in the store was silent, only the panting and heartbeat of the two people remained, Qiao Yixia looked straight at her, and snorted coldly: "So?"

"Xizhan is just because she is ashamed of me and has no face to face me. Your appearance reminds her of me and Shuye. Miss Qiao, if I were you, I would not be willing to just be a substitute. A pawn used to pay off debts."

Qiao Yixia lowered her eyes, remembering how gentle and special Lu Xizhan was to her, her eyes, her tone, she forced herself to eat the unpalatable dishes she cooked, it was the first time she cooked for herself, she helped herself When she solved the case, she kissed herself for the first time, and she said to herself on the Ferris wheel, if you were the one who died, I would not be able to meet you.

"I don't care." Qiao Yixia met her gaze and said forcefully, "I like her, cherish her, and want to spend my whole life caring for her. So don't call it a pawn, even if she wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, and I Even that knife, I am willing."
