Fairy Tale of Brothers War

Chapter 23] Bittersweet

June's day baby face.There is nothing wrong with this sentence. The sun was shining brightly the day before yesterday, and the drizzle was continuous yesterday. Today, the sky has become clear again.But that's fine too. When traveling, who wants it to be always cloudy and rainy?Today is the last day of the trip. After the wind and rain in the first two days, the last day is especially precious.After all, the next time I come back, it will be a year later.

Eili sat by the window, looking at the courtyard out of the window boredly. It had just rained, and the salty smell of the sea breeze was still in the air mixed with the fragrance of the garden vegetation. The smell was a bit strange, but it was not annoying.Originally, at this time, she should have gone for a walk on the beach with Ema - this was an appointment just made in the morning, but because it rained last night, and now I have a cold, so the appointment in advance is now gone. I had to change my mind.

Ema is by her sister's side, thinking that there are always various things these days so that she has no time to accompany this little guy, and then thinking of how the little guy fell asleep early when he came back last night, and finally thinking of today When he woke up in the morning, the little guy looked like he was coughing and catching a cold... As if he wanted to make up for the vacancy of the past few days until today, Ema stayed by the little guy in front of him throughout the morning.

That's great, Huili snuggled into her sister's arms, feeling that the third brother wanted to mention the "gentle hometown" to her.Ema is able to take time to spend with her - even if she doesn't do anything, the time spent together is fun.

Ema handed Eili a glass of water, put some medicine on it, and winked at her: "I prepared some candies for you, take the medicine obediently, and I'll give you the candies."

Eili nodded, put the medicine into her mouth, took another big sip of water and swallowed it down.Ema coaxed her to take medicine in the same way when she was a child. After eating the bitter pills, the rest was sweet candy. Why did Eili understand the truth of the four words "suffering and rewarding" from a very young age.She felt that the first person who uttered these four words must have taken a lot of medicine and sugar—what a painful awakening!

Eri's liking for sugar can be traced back to a childhood illness. The bitter taste of licorice slices lingered in her mouth for a long time, and there was always a bitter taste in everything she ate. Ema looked at her wrinkled face the size of a palm worriedly. The little guy didn't say anything, and after thinking for a long time, he thought of going to the store to buy a few pieces of candy to help the little guy get rid of his suffering.

Since then, the little guy has fallen in love with eating candy, no matter how unhappy things are, the things will pass.Bitterness and sweetness are actually relative. If you don't know what bitterness tastes like, sweetness will not be so pleasant.She felt that it was because the medicine was too bitter that the sugar was extra sweet when eaten.At that time, she didn’t know much about it when she was young, but many years later, when she thought about her childhood, she suddenly realized that she really had the potential to be a philosopher. For example, she could find contradictions in philosophy from such small things as taking medicine and eating sugar The substance of the point of view.

Ema patted Eri on the head, signaling the little guy to lie down.If you have a cold, take some medicine and then sleep and sweat.He took out a story book from his bag and sat beside Ema: "Go to sleep, okay, let me read you a story." This child has been obedient and obedient since he was a child.

There's nothing wrong with being treated like a child, Eri thought so spinelessly, after all, she really didn't spend much time with her sister, except for eating when she was a child, she rarely had time to spend with her.My sister seems to be busier than before, "Well, good. But before that, I always wanted to ask, what is my sister doing recently?"

Ema was a little surprised, she didn't expect the little guy to ask such a question suddenly, how to answer such a sudden question?Seeing Eri's serious expression, Eri had no choice but to reply slyly: "This, that, um...Recently, I haven't been very busy recently, just..."

"Onee-san is always with Subaru-san lately."

Eri explained what Ema was thinking in one sentence, and the next sentence made Ema's blood surge upwards, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in:

"Does sister like Subaru-san?"

Like it?

A gust of fresh wind rushed into the house through the window sill, stirring a string of wind chimes hanging in front of the window.The short book under the bell floats with the wind, and the glass bell wall collides with the round ball, making a series of crisp sounds.Ema didn't make a sound, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.Seeing her appearance at this moment, Eri leaned forward and held her hand: "Sister, don't like Brother Subaru."

Ema raised her head and met Eri's Yingying eyes, "Why?"

"Because my sister did that, someone will be sad."

Yes, I must be sad, the person who said he liked my sister from the beginning, the person who started preparing birthday gifts for her sister two months in advance, the person who would call her name even in her dreams.Why can't my elder sister see what brother Yosuke paid for?Isn't it unfair for my sister to treat brother Yusuke like this?

Ema calmed down her mood, and said slowly: "Eli, you are still young, and you still don't understand many things. 'Like' is not a sentence that can be blurted out. Once you say this sentence to the other party, you have to bear the burden of it." Matching responsibilities, because feelings are not a matter of one person. Subaru-kun is our new family, and I will only get along with him as a family should. I am very happy to have a new family, and I don’t want to destroy it easily It is rare to have family affection, so, do you understand what my sister means?"

Sister mean?Eri thought carefully about what Ema just said. My sister just said too much, her reflex arc was too long, and her memory was not good, so in the final analysis, she only remembered two sentences: one is that feelings do not belong to one person The second thing is that my sister doesn't want to destroy the rare family relationship with my brothers.So, isn't brother Yusuke hopeless?For a moment, Eili was a little depressed. Frankly speaking, seeing how sincere his affection for his sister was, she could more or less understand the importance of his sister in his mind. If he was with her sister, she would be very happy Well, but my sister directly killed this feeling in the cradle like this, and for a moment, Eri felt sad for Yusuke.As for the "feeling is a matter between two people" that my sister said at the beginning, although I can understand it, I always feel that it is a meaningless sentence.

"Then how does my sister feel about Brother Yusuke?" Out of curiosity, Eri still wanted to ask about the position of that man in her sister's heart.

"Yusuke, besides being my classmate, he is also a family member of Erishin and I." Ema replied almost without thinking.

Alas, Brother Yusuke is really pathetic—this is the conclusion Eri came to after summing up the conversation.

Because the cold medicine might be mixed with some mild sleeping pills, after a while, Eili felt dizzy and yawned several times in a row.But he still tried his best to look at Ema with his big eyes open.

This kid is really brave sometimes, isn't he? Ema reached out and pinched the little guy's face: "Good boy, sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up."

Eili nodded dizzily, closed her eyes, her sister felt a sweet smell, very comfortable, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Ema pushed back the broken hair on the little guy's forehead, and gently pressed a kiss on it.

Walking out of the room lightly, pretending to run into a person suddenly, Ema took a closer look, who is it not Yusuke with the flamboyant fiery red hair?Ema waved her hand, indicating that it would be better for the two of them to come out and talk.Yusuke responded softly, and followed Ema to the courtyard.

"Smelly brat...well, I mean how is Eri doing now? Is the cold better?"

"Well, it's much better. I just took the medicine and fell asleep."

After a few seconds of speech, there was a long silence.Yusuke scratched his head impatiently, there is no way to stay so stiff all the time, what should I say to Ema?He raised his head and met Kami Ema's questioning eyes, ah - don't look at him like that, the heart is about to jump out!Yusuke's face turned red.

"Yusuke-kun, are you alright?"

Ema didn't understand, so she looked at Yusuke who was blushing for no reason, what's wrong with him, he was fine just now, why is his face so red all of a sudden?But... I looked at my watch, it was already this time, "I'm sorry, Yusuke-kun, it's time for me to help Mr. Ukyo prepare lunch, is there anything else?"

What?Ready for lunch?Yusuke glanced at his watch suspiciously, damn it, it was already eleven o'clock, and he had been guarding the door since ten o'clock, how could he waste an hour in vain?Yusuke sighed more than a dozen times in his heart with great regret, "Well...it's nothing to do, you can go and get busy." I just want to be quiet with you like now, and be alone for a while, it's not necessary Things just come to you.

Ema smiled, turned and went back to the room.It wasn't until Ema walked far away that Yusuke came back to his senses. In your heart, am I just your classmate and family member? "Bang——" Yusuke slammed his fist on the trunk of a banana tree next to him, which is obviously not what I want!

Hmm... what is this sweet smell?It smells like flowers, very nice.

Eili who was lying on the bed closed her eyes and turned over.Itching on the forehead, forget it, just go to sleep.Huh?Why do you feel wet and hot on your cheeks?And on the lips... what's the matter with the soft touch?After tossing twice, Eri slowly opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Kiori's gentle face.

"Qizhi...brother?"

"Are you awake?" Qizhi helped Eri sit up, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Eili nodded, "It's just that I'm a little dizzy, maybe it's because I've been sleeping for a long time." Her eyes inadvertently caught a few small white daisies inserted in the white porcelain vase in front of the lattice window sill, pure white single petals, The golden stamens burst out from the center of the flower, and the emerald green flower stems are dotted with a few leaves, which is simple and elegant.

"It's so beautiful!" Eri happily pointed to the flowers on the windowsill, "It's a little daisy!"

Qi Zhi glanced at the place where Eri's gaze was on, "There are no such flowers in the yard, I made a few by myself..."

"Ah? It's a paper flower?" Eri exclaimed in surprise, "Did Brother Kiori make it? It's amazing, it's exactly the same as the real one!"

Kiori responded with a smile: "As long as you like it."

Eri jumped off the bed, walked to the window sill with bare feet, reached out and touched the flower stem made of colored paper, "Brother Qizhi is amazing! I remember that when I first arrived at this house, brother Qizhi gave me a small daisy. "Thinking of this, Huili suddenly yelled "Ah", "Oh no, no one has watered the flowers for the past few days when we came out, what should we do?"

Qi Zhi looked at Eri, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's only four days." The topic changed, "Even if it really withers, wouldn't it be good to change it?"

Didn't Brother Qizhi take care of that flower for a long time?Eri trembled, and pursed her lips. Is it possible to change something that has been with me for a long time?But on second thought, maybe this is just the thinking of adults?As Brother Yao said, adults and children have great surprises in their thinking. For example, adults always think that children don’t know anything, but children think they know everything in this world!This involves differences in world outlook, outlook on life, and values.

Thinking of this, Eri hesitated whether to learn from Qi Zhixue or not to always be so childish, and it would be uncomfortable for a long time to switch flowers like a silly little ghost.A flash of light flashed in my mind, and for some reason, the figure of the little squirrel Julie appeared again, thinking that Julie, who had been taken care of by me and my sister for so many years, if one day unfortunately turned into a squirrel and fucked her, how would she have the heart to do it right away? Go find another little squirrel

Sure enough, he still can't grow up?

Sure enough, the child himself can't understand the thinking of adults?

Sure enough, is it true that there are some things that Brother Kiori said that you can only understand when you grow up?

She raised her head and met Kamiori's cold eyes: "This is not good."

Qizhi: "Huh?"

"Nothing can replace another thing, even if it is really replaced, it will not be the same as the original."
