Chapter 440 Brother and Sister

I actually want to ask my brother why?
Guo Shan hated herself for asking questions even though she already knew the answer.

why?
She obviously knew why!

She hated herself even more for not being able to ask such a question that she already knew the answer to!

……

Guo's mother thought that her brother studied too hard, so she specially found various ways to nourish his body.

When she saw her brother smiling and telling Guo’s mother that it didn’t matter, and saw Guo’s mother lovingly touching her brother’s head with a look of relief on her face, her heart was shouting: No, no!
My brother is not so thin because of studying hard!

There is a monster, there is a monster pestering my brother!

……

But in the end she just lowered her head, eating her meal stiffly and mechanically, without any taste.

There was suddenly an extra piece of meat in the rice.

She looked up and her brother smiled as gently as ever. He asked her why she only ate rice and no vegetables, and said that today's meat was delicious.

Looking at her brother's slightly sunken pale cheek and listening to his gentle words, at that moment, she laughed as if she was crying.

……

Several times, she was hesitant to speak when she saw her brother's concealing expression and behavior.

The brother she loved so much, the brother who was so good to her.
For the first time, I felt hatred in my heart, which did not understand anything.

She hated that monster!

She saw her brother in such pain and despair, she knew it all.

Obviously she knows
But she did nothing!
She can't do anything!
Because she was afraid!
She is so scared!
It’s so scary!
……

When she first spotted the monster, she clearly only saw a rough outline, but at that moment, the feeling of being stared at by the beast's eyes filled with malice and greed was so terrifying.

The feeling that she would be devoured if she made any move was so terrible!
……

She seemed to be tightly wrapped in darkness so thick that not a single ray of light could penetrate. She felt suffocated as if her throat was tightly gripped by sharp claws, and the sharp nails dug into the soft flesh of her neck. She even vaguely smelled the smell of blood and rust.

She opened her mouth, but could only make a "ho ho" sound that only she could hear, like a broken doll.

……

So scary, so scary!
Guo Shan burst into tears and her hands involuntarily grasped her neck tightly, but her round nails left red marks on her delicate skin.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and grabbed Guo Shan's hand, and gently but irresistibly took the child's hand away from her neck, which had become somewhat shocking in such a short time.

He felt the child's powerful exhalation, as if he had used up all his strength.

But for Xiao Xiao, it is still "vulnerable".

He let the child's hands struggle and scratch in his hands.

Looking at the child, he was like a huddled and desperate little animal crying.

……

Guo Shan seemed to be trapped in some kind of nightmare.

Her voice was hollow and dreamy.

In fact, there was one time when she really couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to hug her brother and tell him not to be afraid and that she would stay with him.

"belch."

Guo Shan actually wanted to laugh, but what came out of her mouth was a burp.

She was a little dazed.

Because she suddenly remembered that she had never hugged her brother again since she found out there was an unknown monster on his body.

Not once.

……

How could she be so excessive?!
How could she be so cruel?
……

That impulse quickly disappeared.

Because that monster actually wanted to rush over to her? !
Although he was stopped by his brother in the end.

Looking at her brother's dejected and desperate expression, she couldn't say anything.

She heard her brother's hoarse roar, what he said was - don't touch my sister!
……

But what about her?

After her brother told her that everything was fine, she actually treated it as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps it was the guilt and uneasiness that was about to bury her heart, and she urgently needed to do something to cover up her guilty conscience and unbearableness. She subconsciously pulled her brother's arm, but he dodged her. For a moment, she didn't know whether she felt more disappointed or more relieved.

Did Brother Xinliang finally hate her, a cowardly and timid sister, or was she glad that she didn't grab her brother's arm?
Because there is also a monster on my brother's arm.

……

However, her brother quickly grabbed her hand and smiled weakly but gently at her.

……

"Master Xiao, I'm really terrible, right?"

Guo Shan gasped loudly, and kept twisting her body and struggling with the force of Xiao Xiao's hand, as if this could alleviate some of the pain in her heart.

"I'm not worthy of being my brother's sister!"

Guo Shan's face was full of tears, and her expression was gloomy and regretful.

Such a young child, with such a tender little face, should have been full of innocent expression, but now it was distorted to be almost hideous.

"I really didn't mean to hide it from my brother."

"I'm so scared."

"sorry."

"I'm sorry, brother."

"Wow~"

Guo Shan burst into tears again.

She had been suppressed for too long.

She was about to collapse from the guilt in her heart.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes slightly and looked down at the child who was crying so miserably and pitifully.

Just a child.

But...Guo Shan is just a child.

……

Two years ago, Guo Shan was about the same age as Guo Shan is now.

He was so scared, so lonely and desperate.

He thought no one could understand him.

He tried to protect everyone.

However, the only person who could give him comfort had been pretending to be blind.

……

Xiao Xiao's expression revealed a hint of coldness.

Some people might think he is too harsh on a child.

Guo Shan is just a child, and a more delicate girl at that. Her timidity and cowardice are understandable and forgivable.

……

However, if he had not met him, Guo Shan would most likely have ended his too short and too dark life in despair and loneliness.

Until the last moment, no one could truly comfort the child.

……

Guo Shan can obviously make up for this shortcoming.

For two whole years, two years, not one or two days, nor one or two months, but a long twenty-four months, a full seven hundred and thirty days, this little girl did not take even the smallest step!
……

A sister who sacrificed her brother for her and pretended not to know his pain because of her own cowardice.

In fact, it is hard to say who is right or wrong, or whether it is worth it.

It's all your own choice.

But, just think of him as meddling in other people's business. He really felt sorry for Guo Shan.

He still remembered the light in the child's eyes when he said he wanted to protect his sister.

I remember the child said - if someone must bear all this, let him do it.

……

The child was clearly on the verge of giving up, but he persisted for two years for the sake of his sister.
