Fairy Tale of Brothers War

"Matsu Keiko."

"Huh? What?"

"Why do you always wear smoky makeup? It feels more beautiful without makeup."

On the way to school, Eili couldn't help asking the question she wanted to ask the most.Although I have never seen her without makeup, but judging from her facial features, she should be very beautiful. She is alone, with watery eyes, high nose bridge, and small lips. If you look closely, you really have that kind of classic The beauty of a woman is just how the makeup on her face goes against her.It doesn't look like it was painted for the sake of beauty.

And her hands, Eri turned her eyes to Matsu Keiko's hands again, she was surprised when she saw them for the first time, they are white, clean, small and exquisite, the proportion of knuckles is perfect, and the slender skeleton supports the whole body palm.She had never seen such a pair of beautiful hands, even compared with Brother Guang, they were even worse.

Just when Eili was in a daze, someone flicked her forehead suddenly.

"You're trembling, brat!" Matsueko threatened with a vicious tone, "If we talk about the makeup on my face, I'll give you another chestnut, do you hear me?"

"Ugh..."

Eri covered her forehead, and looked at Matsueko in front of her with an aggrieved look, the initial affection for her was almost gone by now, as expected, this guy is really fierce!

Because of what happened in the morning, Huili was a little dazed in class today.

"Hui Li, you look very bad." After class, Aisha, who is Hui Li's best friend, came to her desk, "Would you like to go to the infirmary to see, I always feel that your physical condition is not very good."

At this time, Amano Tomoya looked over, "I'll ask Mr. Kobayashi for a vacation for you. Would you like to take a good rest?"

Eili shook her head, it was nothing serious, as soon as she asked for leave, the teacher would definitely call home, how could she make her sister worry about herself because of such a trivial matter? "No, it's not a big deal." Huili forced a smile, feeling dizzy and indescribable.

"Are you really okay?" Aisha was still a little worried.

Eili nodded, and patted her chest confidently, "Well, I'm very good!"

As soon as the school bell rang, Hui Li took her schoolbag and walked home with heavy steps.Because Qizhi has to prepare for the exam, she has always finished class later than her. In the past, she would wait for him on the bench on the campus, but now...

After stopping at the school gate for a while, Huili continued to walk home with her schoolbag on her back.

——Sorry, Kiori-san.

Now it is the rush hour for get off work, the streets are constantly flowing, the crowds are bustling, and the harsh honking of cars is mixed in the noisy crowd.Because it has not rained for a long time, the air is full of dusty smell.Eri was carrying her schoolbag, her small figure seemed to be obliterated by the waves of the crowd.

The situation in class today is also bad.Eri lowered her head and looked at the English test paper in her hand. She originally thought that after Ukyo's tutoring, her grades would improve somewhat, but she didn't expect it to be like this now.Alas, Eri sighed softly.The relationship with brother Yusuke at home is also very bad, and then the relationship with brother Kiori is so embarrassing. Now that I think about it, nothing is going well.

"Beep-beep-"

The whistle of the car suddenly sounded behind him, and Huili was startled, only then did he notice that he was standing in the middle of the road at some point, and a delivery truck was parked less than [-] centimeters away from him!The driver of the car was clearly dissatisfied with this guy who stayed in the middle of the road and ran away, leaned out the window and yelled: "Stinky girl, you are looking for death! Don't come under my car, get out of here!"

"Ah—I'm sorry!"

Huili hurried to the side of the road with her schoolbag on her back.Huh——she took a deep breath, she didn't read the almanac when she went out today, she really didn't like everything, forget it, let's go home.

Hey, don't you want to cross the road, why are you back again...

After school, at the school gate.

"Really, has she already left?" Kiori said lightly.

Among the crowd coming and going, only this figure was particularly eye-catching. His handsome face and amber eyes looked like a pool of stagnant water.

Aisha was a little embarrassed by the girls watching around, and said nothing else.Just the jealous looks of those girls and the whispering voices made her unable to resist.God, how did Huili endure such stares on weekdays and come to school with this brother?It seems that having a popular brother is not entirely a good thing.

"Well, I've already left." Aisha nodded, and added as she thought of something, "Is Eili not feeling well? She's not in a good condition today."

Qizhi was slightly startled, but did not speak.

Not noticing Qi Zhi's expression, Aisha said to herself: "Speaking of which, Eri doesn't know what's wrong recently, she's always in a daze and doesn't say anything, and she's also careless in doing things a lot, obviously she wasn't like this before Is there something going on at home?" Aisha raised her head and looked at Kiori, but just after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that it was really inappropriate to ask such a thing from her own standpoint, so she smiled a little awkwardly, "It's okay Nothing to do, I just saw you waiting at the school gate, come out and let me know, I will leave if there is nothing to do, goodbye."

Aisha said, waved her hand, and walked away with her schoolbag on her back.

Prayer stays where it is.

Is she... hiding from herself?

Thinking of that kiss a few days ago, Kiori clenched her hands.Originally, he didn't intend to hurt her.Sure enough, this is the right thing to do, stay away from her, the farther the better.The closer you get to her, the more you can't help being attracted to her.However, whenever he was close to her, the sharp thorns on his body would always hurt her.

He kept telling himself that he just regarded her as an ordinary sister, and he just had ordinary feelings for her, but now, what is going on with this empty feeling?

It turns out that getting used to the company of one person is such a terrifying thing?

[Brother Qi Zhi, my Chinese score in today's test is the first in the class, hey, I'm very good, right? 】

The girl's hearty smile suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, clear and clean like a silhouette, fine light shone through the floating clouds and shone on her face, the smile was full of spring breeze, warm and intoxicating.

[Today is so annoying!The teacher is going to ask about English words again. 】

The girl muttered in a depressed mood, complaining loudly, saying what was the most annoying thing about English, and the words were so long-winded.Hehe, he really wanted to tell her that English is not that difficult, if not, he can also help her with tutoring, so don't worry.But he just looked at her and somehow couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

[Brother Qizhi?Praying brother. 】

She leaned up to her, looking at him with big eyes twinkling.

【You show that look again, why are you so sad? 】

She reached out to touch his face, looking at him worriedly.

【Brother Qizhi...】

She looked at him, put her hands around her shoulders, wrapped around his neck, and her pink lips came together like this...

【I really like you. 】

Sitting up suddenly from the bed, Kiori helped the sweat on his forehead.

Damn, how could you have such a dream?

The clock on the wall showed that it was just over two o'clock in the morning—four hours before dawn.He got up, put on his coat, and went to the window.In the late autumn night, the humidity is very heavy. Take a deep breath, and you can feel the irritating cool air rushing into the lung cavity.

The thirst in the mouth is unbearable, and the chest is even more stuffy, an indescribable sense of anxiety!Qizhi got up and got out of bed, put a coat on her body, and came to the living room.

After a few cups of cool liquid, my body barely recovered.

Worried about alarming others, he didn't turn on the light.But once the eyes had adjusted to the light in the room, such darkness presented no difficulty.The orange light from street lamps shone in through the window, which made the huge living room look warm.

Qi Zhi leaned against the window, the crystal moonlight shone on his gray-blue hair, and there was a little bit of soft light from a distance.There was no one on the street outside the window, and the chirping of insects that used to be heard on midsummer nights had now subsided a lot, and it was quiet.On weekdays, this home is always a mess, noisy, which makes people a little irritable.Now that I've calmed down, I'm not used to it.

【Brother Qizhi, I like you! 】

Familiar faces came to mind again.It is still the same sentence, which makes people tremble with fear.

He stood there, motionless, like a statue without emotions.After a long time, he raised his hand and grasped the cross that he had always carried on his chest. The cold metal felt in his palm, and his dizzy brain was also sober for a moment.

"Maybe I should have walked with you from the beginning, right?"

In the next second, he tightened the necklace of the cross violently. The metal chain wrapped around his fair neck like a snake with its fangs open, leaving scarlet scars one after another.

Yes, this kind of pain is right!

Only pain!Only then can he come out of his fantasy!

Only pain!Only then can he realize what reality is!

The reality is that the girl he loves most is named Shiraishi Donghua!She is dead!

died? !

Time seemed to stop in an instant!Kiori's eyes suddenly narrowed.

died?

who died?

He stopped his movements and held the cross in his palm dully, as if he wanted to brand it into it.

How can it be!She is still alive, still by her side!This cross was left to him by her, this is the best proof, isn't it?How could he have such an idea, how could he feel that she was gone?Kiori shook his head subconsciously, as if to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Lies are produced to deceive, but also to comfort, comfort those hurt hearts, and deceive those fragile lives.The beauty of the lies and the cruelty of the world have eaten away the remaining reason in the cerebral cortex bit by bit.

At last,

The last line of defense called kinship was breached, and the insensitive heart finally chose to believe in the seemingly dreamy and beautiful fairy tale.

Too much truth can only make people more painful, and the pain cannot be added.

The road ahead is vast and dark, but he still has to go on, whether it's lonely or lonely, he has to go on.

and,

Must be a person.
