substitute

When I heard that Ke Ersha was lost, although I could comfort Sasha not to worry on the surface, in fact, I was very anxious in my heart.

She is so young, and her body has always been bad due to Qi deficiency. What should she do if she catches a cold and has a fever outside?What if some criminals with malicious intentions approached her and tried to abduct her?Will she, like Elisa, disappear from now on and never see her again?

My mind was full of bad thoughts, I rushed out of the clinic and called Maggie, praying in my heart that the Phantom Troupe had no tasks for her to deal with now.

Fortunately, she answered the phone quickly: "What's the matter?"

"Maggie!" As soon as I opened my mouth, I found my voice was a little hoarse with anxiety, "Kelsa is lost, are you free? Can you help me find her together?"

"What do you think of the child?"

"me……"

"Okay, I'll come out right away, stop talking nonsense, go find her quickly."

"Ok!"

After meeting up with Sasha and Ms. Madeleine's mother and son, I immediately started from the place where they found Keersha missing, and expanded the encirclement to search separately.

As time went by little by little, I became more and more restless in my heart, fearing that something might happen to her, but Sa Xia who was following me was full of self-blame, and kept silent, looking at his red eyes , It is estimated that as long as I say the key points in my tone, he will cry immediately.

About an hour later, Maggie called to tell me that she had found Corsa over there in a circular plaza.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately called Ms. Madeleine to reassure them.

When I arrived at the square, I saw Keersha obediently sitting next to Maggie licking a piece of ice cream that was almost finished, and I immediately became angry.

She saw me, stood up and said in surprise, "Ma Ma!"

I snatched the ice cream from her hand and reprimanded me: "How many times did Mom tell you that you are not in good health and can't eat such cold things as ice cream, why didn't you listen?"

As if she didn't expect me to be so angry, Ke Ersha was obviously taken aback, and said aggrievedly: "But, uncle bought it for me before he left."

"Which uncle? Is it an uncle you know?"

"No, but this uncle is very nice."

When I heard that a stranger bought it for her, I became even more furious: "Mom also told you not to approach strangers, right? Why are you so disobedient and want to make your mother angry?"

"I didn't..." Ke Ersha grabbed Sasha's hand, wanting to seek his help, "Brother..."

But this time, even Sasha, who has always been a sister-controlling attribute, was angry. He broke away from Ke Ersha's hand, bent his index finger and flicked her forehead hard, and said with a sullen face, "Why didn't you just follow my brother to ask for help?" Running away alone? And eating the ice cream given to you by a strange uncle, I don’t have a disobedient sister like you.”

Keersha endured and endured, and finally cried "Wow". She threw herself into Maggie's arms, crying, "Auntie Maggie, Xiao Ke is not a bad boy! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

I saw Maggie looking up at me, frowned and said: "Maggie, don't protect her, this girl really went too far this time."

Maggie sighed lightly, touched Ke Ersha's head, and said, "Then explain to your mother why you ran away alone?"

Ke Ersha raised her head in Maggie's arms, and she was about to sob after saying a few words, extremely wronged: "Because, I was on the road... I saw an uncle who looked very much like the one in my father's photo, so I ran to chase him I finally saw my uncle stop, and I realized that I was lost... This uncle is really nice, he hugged me on his lap to keep me from crying, and took me to feed the pigeons, and the ice cream is also uncle Bought it for me before leaving..."

A man who looks like a knight?

I was slightly startled, and looked at Maggie, who nodded and said, "He did go out this afternoon."

Although the probability is not 100%, but the possibility is very high. Did the father and daughter meet each other by accident?

I couldn't help sighing, squatted down, and waved to Ke Ersha: "Xiao Ke, come here."

She looked at Maggie, and she came over pitifully and put her arms around my neck. I hugged her and said, "Mom is also worried about you, so you are so angry, do you know?"

"Ah."

"Then do you know that you are wrong?"

"Well... I shouldn't be running around, talking to strangers, or eating ice cream."

"It's a good girl who knows what's wrong and can correct it." I hugged her and walked to Maggie's side. "Go, give Aunt Maggie a kiss. You have caused her a lot of trouble today."

Maggie immediately came over with a sharp look: "No need."

However, she couldn't resist Ke Ersha's winking eyes attack, and finally compromised.

I put Keersha down and said, "Apologize to my brother, and you have to apologize to Aunt Madeleine after you go back, you know?"

"Ok!"

I watched Keersha run to Sasha, then turned to Maggie and asked, "The auction is over, do you still want to stay in Youkexin?"

But she was silent for a moment, and said: "Wojin hasn't come back after the appointed time, he should be killed, we won't let it go, we will stay here for a while."

This time it was my turn to be silent, and she said again: "Yesterday, Xia Ke and Wo Jin came to you to remove the leeches."

"Ah."

"How did it feel to see him?"

"...You really don't need to test me again and again, Maggie," I smiled wryly, "I know I'm useless, and I also know that I'll always have his place in my heart, but that doesn't mean I'm Can't let go."

The corner of Maggie's mouth raised a slight arc inexplicably: "Who is it that can't let go now?"

"what?"

She didn't answer me, but just turned around and left: "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"Love you, Maggie." I waved to her.

"Go away." She said without turning her head.

I thought that meeting the knight this time was just a small episode, and my life would continue in a normal way, but the sudden change two days later really caught people off guard.

This afternoon, I came home from get off work, because I was thinking about cooking a delicious meal for the children in the evening, so my hands were full of ingredients.

I wanted to put all the dishes at home and go to the next door to pick up the children, but I didn't want to see the knight with his back against the wall at the door of the apartment.

As soon as he looked up and saw me, he stood up straight, his face pale.

To be honest, the moment I saw him, I was very depressed.

Why do you always appear in front of me like this when I pack up and prepare to have nothing to do with you anymore?

I took a deep breath, passed him as if I didn't see him, and wanted to take out the key to open the door, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled it back forcefully. In the next second, I was shackled in his arms, and my whole body was covered. It was the pleasant smell that lingered around him.

I was taken aback, and couldn't help feeling angry. The shopping bag in my hand fell to the ground, and I struggled to push him away: "Let me go! What are you doing!"

But he held me tightly like a traveler who was about to drown and grabbed his life-saving stake, and refused to let go no matter what.

"... Linsa."

The voice he called to me was like sandpaper grinding on a tabletop, it was so low and hoarse that it was about to be torn apart.

He exerted so much force that I couldn't move at all, so I simply gave up my futile struggle and said angrily, "Are you crazy, knight?! I'll say it again, please let me go!"

"In 1991, the person in Rinca City, was that you?" He said softly.

"..."

Did he come to me this time to verify this matter?I couldn't explain the reason for the sense of loss that came to my heart. I was so angry that I smiled and said, "So what if you are? So what if you are not? Does it have something to do with you!"

"Answer me." He insisted.

I don't know why he is obsessed with this question, but if he loves Eliza so much, how disappointed would he be if he knew the truth?

"No," I made up my mind and sneered at him, "are you at ease? The person you're dating is not me, Eliza's substitute, but her herself. Are you at ease?"

He trembled, but let me go slightly and looked at me. The smile on his face was sour that I couldn't understand: "Maggie said that you told her that you fell in love with me at first sight in Linka City, Now, Linsa, tell me, don't lie to me again, is that person you?"

"..."

His voice was too heavy, and my heart ached, but I couldn't tell any more lies. I couldn't help closing my eyes, took a deep breath, and didn't dare to look at his expression at all.

He saw through everything from my attitude, let go of me, and laughed in a low voice, so sad and powerless: "It's really you, haha..."

Looking at him like this, the pain in my chest made me a little breathless. I never thought that this incident would hit him so hard. Hey knight, is Elisa so good?Do you love her so deeply?

Why do you never look back at me?

Why is it that after four years, I still get hurt all over by you like this?

I bit my lip desperately, using the pain to wake myself up, I bent down to pick up the ingredients scattered on the ground, trying to make my voice sound calm and normal: "I lied to you for so long, let you and Eliza's beautiful I'm sorry for the blemishes in my memory, but we have long since owed each other, please come back."

Unexpectedly, he held my wrist again, and I could clearly feel the pain and the trembling from him.

Afterwards, I heard him whisper: "Linsha, let's start over, shall we?"

My mind went blank, and all I could hear was the pop open of the box that I had locked away all my complicated feelings for the past four years.

People I know say that I have a gentle temper and treat people politely. I also ask myself that I can always try my best to smile and accommodate when facing others. Only a knight, only him, can touch all my nerves with an understatement. , made me collapse all over the board, I really hate myself who is always being led by the nose like this.

I threw out all the things I was holding in my left hand that was not caught by him, and said hysterically: "Do it all over again? What game do you want to play this time? Tell you, I won't accompany you again!"

"You told me that the woman you like is dead, okay, I'll wait for you to be freed from the emotional shackles; you told me you're leaving, okay, I'll let you go, because I can't keep you at all; you're back Tell me that you like me and want to take me away, well, I'll wait for you to talk to Daddy with all my heart and then take me away in a fair way; you tell Maggie, don't let her tell me the truth about my family's genocide, because you don't want to see I want me to hate you all the time, okay, then I'll pretend I don't know anything, and keep avoiding you and hating you as you wish..."

After venting, I was left with a sense of emptiness, and I slumped on the ground powerlessly, and the tears I held back finally fell, and wept uncontrollably: "I obediently did everything as you said, but now you are What are you doing? Make my hard work a joke? Knight, you can’t just do whatever you want just because I love you, I beg you to let me go, I’m really fed up..."

His body squatted down with me, hugged me again, buried his head on my neck, and said suppressedly: "Linsha, do you know why I fell in love with Eliza?"

I desperately wanted to cover my ears: "I don't want to hear it!"

Even so, his voice still came into my ears clearly: "Because in 1991, I met her unexpectedly in Rinca City, she is different from when she was on Meteor Street, she is docile, cute, and trusts her wholeheartedly I, and then, I fell in love with her."

I was stunned, I couldn't believe it, but I felt him hug me even tighter, and his tone became more urgent and painful: "I approached you for her, and I used you as her substitute, but I was beaten by you day by day." Attractive, I dare not admit this kind of affection, I can only lie to myself that this is just an illusion of love and love, I want to let the Stola family be buried with her for her, and I push you into hell for her, and in the end, I love you People have been you Linsa from the beginning, this is really the saddest joke..."

His body trembled more and more, and then warm tears fell drop by drop on the pit of my neck. This is the first time since I have known the knight for so long, he has collapsed and helpless in front of me, crying like a child General: "You beg me to let you go, but who can let me go?"

My heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, it was very painful, I slowly stretched out my hand to hug him back, but at the critical moment, I flinched back uselessly.

I'm really afraid that in the end this is another sugar-coated poison/drug, and I really can't afford to lose.

For a long time after that, he kept hugging me, saying "Linsa, I was wrong" over and over again, and telling me how much he missed me in the past four years.

Finally, he said to me: "Linsha."

"……Um."

"Let's start over, shall we?"

"..." I lowered my eyes and didn't answer him immediately, but said, "Xiake, I have really suffered a lot in the past four years. When I was a young lady, I never needed to pay attention to any market. The dishes will be cheaper, how the washing machine should work, and even the next bowl of noodles will mix up the salt and sugar, but now I have learned. If you are expecting, I can give you the pure and flawless love like four years ago If so, I really can't..."

The unfinished voice was drowned in his warm lips and tongue, this kiss was just like what I expected when I was a young girl in Huaichun, it was so tender and lingering.

Although I am already a mother of two children, I have very little kissing experience, and I can't move at all.

Fortunately, he quickly let me go, leaned against my forehead, stared at me with those emerald eyes that were close at hand, and said: "This time, I don't need you to give me anything, remember I don’t remember when I wanted to take you away, I once told you that I can give you everything that the Stola family can give you, but now I can also give you what the Stola family can’t give you. Give you everything, including my people, my heart, everything, as long as you want, I will give you everything."

This is the most touching love sentence I have ever heard so far. It touched me a thousand times more than when he said "I like you" to me.

I turned my head away in a panic, wiped the tears on my face in embarrassment, and said: "You also know that I have always been weak and useless. This is really the last time I listen to you. If, if you If you still lie to me this time, I, I..."

He grabbed my hand and kissed my forehead: "I promise, this is really the last time."

If from the beginning, he did not admit the wrong person and I did not hide the truth, is it another story between us?

But in this world, there is no what if, and there is no medicine for regret. After four years of twists and turns, I was able to finally settle down with him. I think this is already a pity from the heavens.

The author has something to say:

If it is not expected, it will end soon, um, if it is not expected orz
