Half of Xue Fan's face lost all flesh and blood, only white bones remained, but he still called his name. Xue Lingyu tried hard to plug her ears, but couldn't, the voice still reached his ears.

He felt that Xue Fan had finally found him.

He came to claim his life.

I failed to kill myself 12 years ago, and now I finally found it.

"Brother." It seemed that seeing Xue Lingyu's complexion was not good, the bloody young man who was exactly the same as him stretched out his hand and gently wiped off the cold sweat on the other's face.

"Brother, don't leave me..."

It rained even more.

………………

"Xue Lingyu? Xue Lingyu, wake up." Xue Lingyu opened her eyes and saw Lin Chen's face.

"What are you doing so close to me?"

"You have a high fever."

It was still raining lightly outside, Xue Lingyu remembered that she went out to look for food yesterday, got caught in the rain and had a fever at night.

They have been hiding in this cave for three full days.

It was really bad luck. It was clear and cloudless when I went out, but it started to rain at night, and it didn't stop after a while.

This is autumn rain.

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness. With the rain, the temperature in the mountains has dropped completely. Xue Lingyu and Lin Chen have been wearing the same clothes when they came here, so they will naturally catch cold.

It took Xue Lingyu a long time to accept the fact that she was sick after hearing Lin Chen's words.

He rarely gets sick. Although he has always looked thin, his body has always been good since he was a child. He is rarely like his younger brother, and he never knew that being sick is such an uncomfortable thing. The vitality of the whole person is drained All that's left is weakness.

Fu Zhen had been waiting on the side, and when she saw Xue Lingyu woke up, she immediately brought water from one side and fed it to him.

Xue Lingyu laughed when she saw it. He really didn't expect that Fu Zhen, who was a girl, was fine, but she, who seldom got sick, had a fever for no reason.

Xue Lingyu's high fever came quickly. If Lin Chen hadn't discovered it early and kept cooling him down physically, he might have had a fever last night.

A high fever in sleep is extremely dangerous. There is a lack of medical care and medicine in the wild. Lin Chen was afraid that the other party would not wake up from such a sleep. Seeing that Xue Lingyu finally caught his eye and said something, he felt relieved.

But even so, Xue Lingyu, who had been burning all night, was still very confused. He half-opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen, and it took him a long time to confirm that the other party was not Xue Fan, and he was finally out of the crimson dream.

Lin Chen had a strange expression, "What did you dream about?" Xue Lingyu's expression in the dream was really ugly.

Xue Lingyu didn't speak.

Lin Chen didn't care when he saw it, and took out a half-dried newspaper from Xue Lingyu's coat.

Xue Lingyu has always given her the impression of being lively, and this is the first time she has known him for so long when she met him with such a blank look.

"By the way, I found this from inside your clothes. It rained last night and it was all wet, so I took it out to dry it for you."

Xue Lingyu came to her senses at this time, and took it anxiously. Sure enough, the newspaper was crumpled because it had been wet by the rain. Even though it had dried at this time, the writing on it had long been hideously together.

Xue Lingyu knew that the one who died back then should have been her own.

"By the way, I haven't asked you all this time, you always carry this with you wherever you go?" Lin Chen really didn't understand that an old newspaper made the other party sick and he didn't even forget it.

"Here." Xue Lingyu lightly brushed the folds of the newspaper, "It's about my parents and younger brother."

"Parents?" Lin Chen was shocked when he knew about this case. The public security in S City was very good. There were very few such blatant shootings. All three members of the family died at home, and he never heard of any other survivors.

In addition, there has been no progress in the investigation of the case. After a long time, it has become a taboo. Lin Chen knows about this case, but he has never been able to understand it. Its files have been sealed in the police station for a long time, and ordinary people have no authority at all. to mobilize.

However, Lin Chen was too young at the time, and as time passed, this case was gradually forgotten, or maybe suppressed, and it became an unsolved case.

Lin Chen just heard from a senior who was about to retire when he first joined the job that the couple who died were both Ph.

The case seemed to have become a taboo, with few people mentioning it, photos of the deceased were destroyed, and no one ever heard of the couple leaving behind any children.

"My brother and I are twins." Xue Lingyu saw Lin Chen's doubts, "He is in poor health and has been raised in the countryside."

For some reason, Lin Chen suddenly remembered the little boy he met back then. The time seemed to be right, but too much time had passed, and after so many years, his appearance might have changed a long time ago.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xue Lingyu, and it really made him find that the eyes of the two were very similar.

What a coincidence... Lin Chen put his thoughts behind him, how could such a coincidence happen.

Xue Lingyu concealed the reason why Xue Fan was sent to the countryside back then, "My parents always took me to see him in those two years..."

Xue Lingyu remembered that every time she went there, Xue Fan was extremely happy, as if the child who wanted to drown her brother was another person.

On his birthday, Xue Fan pulled himself aside and asked pitifully, "Brother, can you let me go back with Mom and Dad this time?"

"I know I was wrong." The other party leaned on him, made a very intimate gesture, and rubbed his face against his hair, "I also want to go to the playground with my parents, I have never been there since I was a child. "

Xue Lingyu hesitated.

Xue Fan's health has always been poor, and he seldom goes out. Even the neighbors only know him and never know that he has a younger brother. Xue Fan exists like a shadow.

But this is not up to you to decide.

Xue Fan has been very clever since he was a child. Seeing that Xue Lingyu was loose, he immediately hit the snake on the pole and squeezed out a few tears. "My brother and I look the same, my parents can't recognize me, I'll change it back next time, please~"

Xue Lingyu was young at that time, and Xue Fan could forget the evil deeds the other party had done by saying something nice, and agreed to the other party's request as soon as his heart softened.

So Xue Fan happily followed his parents away.

never came back.

When Xue Lingyu said this, she still looked at the newspaper, with no joy or sorrow on her face.

"Later we often did this, sometimes I was the elder brother, sometimes I was the younger brother." But when we finally played this game, we never changed our identities again.

He was shot dead in Xue's house, along with his parents.

"I used my brother's name until I was adopted."

"Gu Mingzhe is your adoptive father?"

"Probably." Xue Lingyu smiled, "It's just that he never let me call him adoptive father, and always let me call him Mr. Gu along with his subordinates."

Gu Mingzhe's attitude towards Xue Lingyu has always been unpredictable to others. The position of the head of the Gu family has always been reserved for those who can, and Gu Mingzhe is the adopted son of the previous generation of head.Gu Mingzhe treated Xue Lingyu well, he did everything by himself, but he never taught him about business matters, and he was always not an attitude towards heirs.

"I always feel that he is hiding something from me." At least he knows the cause of his parents' death.

But the other party has always avoided talking about this aspect.

After so many years, Xue Lingyu has become obsessed with the tragedy at home. He remembers that when he was thrown in such a small village, he waited and hoped for his parents to come back to pick him up, but he waited and waited for the whole time. One year, I didn't wait for my parents, I didn't wait for Xue Fan to come, but I only waited for a strange man to come.

The man was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves half rolled up, and he smiled and held out his hand to him.

Xue Lingyu remembered that hand, the fingers were long and bony, they were a pair of artist's hands.

The man told the news of his parents' death and picked him up.

"Who are you?" asked the young child.

"My name is Gu Mingzhe. You can call me Mr. Gu just like them." The man smiled and helped the child wipe off a stain on his face. "We will live together in the future, and I will take care of you."

Xue Lingyu nodded ignorantly, and left his hometown since then.

Xue Lingyu has never said these things to others, and the most important thing is that there is no suitable person and suitable opportunity. It may be that he is rarely sick today, showing unusual fragility, or an old man who has not seen him in his dream for a long time. Reappeared, so Xue Lingyu confided to Lin Chen.

Gu Mingzhe didn't like him to advance his home. He asked twice, but after he couldn't get an answer, he wisely stopped asking. After a long time, he hid these things in his heart and slowly fermented them.

But people are not grass and trees, after all, someone needs to listen.

Obviously Xue Fan had died ten years ago, but Mr. Xue felt that Xue Fan was always by his side. The two of them were so similar that he could fully know what Xue Fan would look like ten years later.Xue Fan, who was exactly the same, and the shadow of his parents always troubled him, reminding him of the death of his family back then.

"Actually, I regret..."

regret what?Regret agreeing to switch identities with Xue Fan?Or do you regret not being able to see your parents for the last time?Xue Lingyu couldn't speak for herself, so she simply closed her eyes.

Whenever his mind is very disturbed, he closes his eyes, so that in the dark, his mind can be emptied.

When Lin Chen saw Xue Lingyu close his eyes, he thought that the other party was tired. He talked too much today, and Lin Chen vaguely knew the reason why the other party had to travel thousands of miles to return to City S.

Xue Lingyu was willing to tell herself this because she trusted him. He should have been happy, but he didn't feel happy at all.

He just felt distressed.

The other party's past was bitter, but he couldn't share this bitterness.
