[Whirlwind Girl + Tomb Raider] Replaced

Holding the handle, gently pushed open the door of the ward, and Ruobai saw the girl lying quietly on the hospital bed at a glance.That girl once had a pair of eyes that were as clear as a stream, but now those eyes have not been opened; that girl once had a smile as charming as a spring breeze, but now her lips are white and pursed in her sleep.But in just over half an hour, she was already lying there so pale, like a withered flower lacking moisture.

The ward was very quiet, only the weak breathing of the girl on the bed, and Ruobai's own heartbeat.He held his breath, and slowly approached with his flustered heartbeat.As he got closer, he realized that there was a little bit of embarrassment and sadness in her expression, as if she was not sleeping peacefully.Her eyes rolled wildly under her white eyelids, as if she was making a difficult choice.

Ruobai felt that every breath of the fragile girl in front of him seemed to grab his heart, making him unable to move even a tiny bit.He stood there silently, as if waiting for something.

Finally, he heard the girl call softly in a soft voice: "Mom..."

This was the first time Ruobai heard An An say this title.He raised his eyes in a daze, and saw a drop of transparent liquid slipping from the corner of An An's eyes, quietly dripping on the white pillow cover.

Ruobai suddenly felt that he had never really understood this girl.They had been together for a few months in the past, and what he knew were just bits and pieces.He still remembers the first time they met, she couldn't even express her own thoughts clearly, but she had a good skill beyond ordinary people; she didn't like to laugh, but those clear eyes always expressed her emotions clearly; He has a cold personality, but always shows such bright eyes when he sees him... He can't remember when, that little girl who always opened her eyes wide to look at him also had a slight smile on her face, Perhaps something has changed since then.

Like a revolving lantern, An An stood there in a daze, watching the memories of the past flow past his eyes little by little.In the end, a thin figure in a black cloak was frozen in the heavy snow.

There was a hot and humid touch around the eye sockets, An An bit her lower lip, reached out and groped at the neckline for a while, and finally grabbed the thin metal chain, pulled the light blue pendant to her chest, and stared fixedly at the metallic surface .

This is the last thing Zhang Qiling left her, she didn't know what it was, she just knew how to cherish it.

She still remembered Wu Xie's surprised expression when he saw the pendant, and he asked her with that expression: "When did my brother give it to you? Didn't he tell you what this pendant is for?"

She thought of the sudden space in her feet when she was walking in the snow of Changbai Mountain, and the dizziness that followed, and the world and lost memories that were completely different from her cognition after waking up. not understand.

Then she heard a gentle voice asking her softly, "Have you figured it out, An Anke?"

An An froze, and immediately turned her head to look for the source of the sound.

The voice seemed to come from behind her. In fact, when she turned her face at this time, she did see a figure.It was a young woman who looked very young, her long black and soft hair was neatly tied into a bun with a peach blossom jade hairpin, her face was as white as jade, and her bright pale golden peach blossom eyes were shining brightly. A gentle smile floated on the pale pink lips.She walked slowly towards An'an, with a graceful figure, and a silk brocade cheongsam embroidered with lotus-colored pear blossoms exuded a faint milky white halo with her movements.

An An's eyes widened in astonishment, she couldn't believe her eyes, and the call that was lingering in her heart also blurted out: "Mom..."

"An An, my daughter." The beautiful and gentle young woman stopped in front of An An, and held her hand with a slight smile.

An An told herself that all this was an illusion, but the warm and soft touch from the fingertips was extremely real.After hesitating for a while, she still murmured involuntarily: "Mom..."

The young woman curled her lips knowingly, and her pale golden pupils were shimmering, holding her other hand. "An An, you have grown up, you are a big girl."

An An's eyes became hot, and tears fell involuntarily.

She hasn't seen her mother for more than 20 years, and she doesn't even remember her mother's appearance, but she always remembers her mother's eyes full of trust and maternal love when she was dying, just like these eyes, clear but inclusive eyes like lake water.

"Don't cry, my child." The young woman reached out her hand to wipe away her tears with some helplessness and distress. "It's my mother's fault. You are left to grow up alone, and you are left to work hard for the Huo family. You have done a great job, and your mother can see it."

"Mom..." An An has never been so vulnerable, but at this moment she is unwilling to be strong, and only wants to tell her mother who is right in front of her. "Mom, I can't let go of my sister and the Huo family, but I can't go back..."

"Does An An want to go back?" The young woman was taken aback for a moment, and soon showed a clear smile. "Mom understands, An An is reluctant to part with that little brother."

"Mom..." An An didn't know what to say for a moment, she was so surprised that she forgot to cry.

"You are not easy children, because your family and destiny have burdened you too much." The young woman sighed softly. "Although the Huo family needs you, my mother also hopes that my An An can live the life she really wants."

An An listened in a daze, but still couldn't help shaking her head: "Mom, but, I'm here..." She thought she couldn't go back.What's more, if she left, what about Ruobai?How about everyone in Songbai?

"Ruobai is indeed a good boy." The young woman could understand her daughter's thoughts, and stroked her black hair soothingly. "If you want to stay, mom won't object."

If... you want to stay?An An heard the meaning behind the words and almost screamed out: "Mom, I..."

"An An, you have always put yourself in someone else's place to do everything, now, you should really follow your heart and make some choices." The young woman touched An An's cool cheek pitifully. "You are a member of Songbai and a member of the Huo family. The key is not to look at your identity, but your will. Do you want to stay in Songbai? Or, do you want to go back and find the person you miss?"

An An really didn't expect her mother to give her such two choices, so she could only look back blankly with wide eyes.

"If you choose to stay here, you can continue to be An An. If you choose to go back to Huo's house, you may no longer be An An." The young woman slowly told her the pros and cons, her eyes always resting gently on her face . "Think carefully."

An An lowered her eyes.She had imagined more than once what she would choose if she had the opportunity to return to Beijing, but now, this choice finally appeared in front of her.She never knew what she really wanted in the past, and she still doesn't know what she really wants.

"Mom, I want to ask a question." An An bit her lower lip and looked up at her mother uneasily. "That day, why did you leave me?"

The young woman probably expected her doubts early, and smiled lightly. "Mom thought a long time ago that one day I would explain this to you, but it was too late at that time, so I could only pray that you would listen to what my mother said. Fortunately, An An, you are a good boy. Making the mistake of hating your grandmother is exactly what Mom wants to see."

A few light words fell on An An's heart like a heavy hammer.She stared at her mother intently, waiting for her mother to say one of her previous assumptions——

"Your father passed away just two days ago. He once said that he lived alone in the past and failed to live according to his own ideas. He hoped that his mother could accompany him to change the future. Mom chose to accompany your father. But I failed to watch you grow up, do you blame your mother?" The young woman explained every word, looking at An An with tears in her eyes.

"Mom..." A certain conjecture in my heart was confirmed. An An didn't feel it was very abrupt, but just shook her head vigorously. "No, I don't blame my mother..." Not being able to live according to her own ideas... Of course she understands what kind of life it is.

"Thank you, baby." The young woman blinked, letting the crystal tears roll down her cheeks, but her hands gently hugged An An's shoulders. "But my mother didn't expect that this decision would make you repeat the same mistakes and follow your father's old path. So, An An, don't hesitate, think more for yourself. No matter what your decision is, mother will support you."

"I..." An An paused for a moment, a pair of ice-like deep black eyes flashed in front of her eyes.Taking a deep breath, she hugged her mother's waist with her backhand, and raised her eyes determinedly. "Mom, thank you... I think, go back to him."

Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's because she can't let go of the Huo family and Huo Xiuxiu... In short, she really won't change her decision.

Maybe it was Mo Ruomu, the eldest daughter. The young woman didn't ask any more questions, but just reached out to caress Fu An'an's cheek with loving eyes.

Ruobai didn't know how long it took him to distract himself, but when he regained his senses and looked again, he sensitively realized that something was wrong.I can't tell what's wrong, but something in my chest is hitting my chest desperately, as if something bad happened.

Ruobai frowned, walked a few steps closer with some anxiety, reached out his hand almost instinctively, and touched An An's forehead.

Cool, with a little stiffness.

The author has something to say:

I am actually very sad to write this chapter, not only because I am not good at writing about the gentle and kind mother An An, but also because I let An An die in front of Ruobai, I made Ruobai sad...

The next NE is divided into two endings for the time being (there may be more), namely NE1 and NE2, and NE2 is the real ending, which is the so-called TE (True-Ending), because NE1 has a better ending, so come to NE1 first, Next update.
