Lin Shixing never thought about her life in the first ten years, that she would come to a strange city with her brother who had always had a bad relationship.
The very difficult journey that had been planned, but also because of Lin Shiheng's presence, became more at ease and easier.
Seven hours later, they arrived in the city where there was a game, and at this time, the sky was just beginning to get brighter.
After getting off the bus, the two first found a safe hotel to stay.
Lin Shiheng even ordered two delicious breakfasts that were full of color and flavor. After eating, the two brothers and sisters who hadn't slept much all night began to make up for it.
My parents' phone calls were remembered when they were sleeping soundly.
Lin Shiheng answered the phone, listening to his father's roar, he put his hands on his head impatiently, and sounded in a tired voice: "I just took my sister out to play for a while, what's the matter with you?"
"I'm nineteen, she's seventeen, and we're not children anymore."
Father Lin on the other end roared almost furiously: "You are children!! How old are you? Ah?? How old do you dare to run away from home!!"
He turned on the speakerphone, and when Lin Shixing, who was sleeping on the other bed, heard his father's voice, he woke up with a jolt. The reaction was that after the family found out that they had run away from home, he suddenly looked a little scared and looked at him. brother.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that after Lin Shiheng skillfully took her through the city, bought a bus ticket and booked a hotel for breakfast, Lin Shixing, who had traveled so far for the first time, was already somewhat dependent on him.
She didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only open her mouth and make a speech silently.
-what to do
Will my parents run over and catch them in a fit of rage
"Wait a moment."
Lin Shiheng yawned and got up from the bed, gestured ok to his sister, and stretched out in the golden sunlight: "Dad, do you know what it means to run away from home? Run away from home without telling the parents. If we leave the house under circumstances, we are different and leave a letter."
"Okay, just tell me if you have anything to do. I haven't slept well all night, I have to get a good night's sleep."
Lin Shixing's eyes widened when he clearly did something wrong and looked at him with a face that was right. He couldn't imagine how his brother could still have such a good attitude in the face of angry parents.
"Lin Shiheng!!!"
Father Lin on the other end was even more angry, "Give you a day to bring your sister back to me! How old are you? Ah? Don't be afraid of accidents outside!!"
"Look at what you said, Dad."
Lin Shiheng was not affected at all, and still said in a lazy tone: "When you asked my sister to go to work, why weren't you afraid of her accident? Why did we just go out for a trip and react like this."
"Can that be the same?!!"
"Why is it different?"
Under the sun, the young man said eloquently: "Dad, you and my mother don't have to worry, I promise, I will call you every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, okay?"
"Fuck! Come back to me immediately!"
"Dad, why are you like this? Can't we negotiate and negotiate? Look, I won't listen to what you say anyway, so it's better to cooperate with me."
"I'm cooperating with you! You wait, I'll go get you back now!"
Lin Shiheng shrugged: "I don't mind, but Dad, do you know which city the competition venue is in? Do you know when we will go to the competition? China is so big, as long as we want to hide, you can't find us."
"I advise you, don't waste your time, don't worry, you will treat us as a tourist, at most half a month, and definitely go home."
"By the way, if you are worried, Dad, why don't you put some money into my card. It's rare to come out. We still want to have fun, love you, love you, or I will give you and my mother a heart..."
-Snapped!
Lin Shiheng took down the phone, saw his sister looking at him nervously, shrugged, and made a helpless gesture: "Hang up."
The elder brother, who was clearly communicating with his parents, was still calm, and Lin Shixing, who was listening on the sidelines, felt that his nervous heart was about to burst out.
She covered her heart and asked nervously, "Mom and dad won't really come to us, right? I heard Dad seemed very angry. He has never been so angry before."
"Relax."
Lin Shiheng yawned with a sleepy look on his face: "They are also familiar with the locals, old antiques like parents, who don't easily leave the city they are familiar with, if we run away without leaving anything, they will definitely look for them. We, but this kind of contact, even if they are angry, they can only admit it."
"But they were very angry, and when they went back..."
"Let's go back and talk about it, they can still kill us."
The youth looked indifferent: "Lin Shixing, aren't you always jealous that I am more favored at home? Do you know why?"
n bs Lin Shixing's expression darkened, even if this topic has passed, bringing it up again will make her recall the previous sadness and despair.
She lowered her head to keep her tears from showing: "Because you are a man and I am a woman."
"Not only that, but also because you don't know how to fight for your interests at all." Lin Shiheng raised his eyebrows and stretched out his index finger and swayed left and right, "When I was a child, my parents bought two popsicles, one for you, one for me, and one for me. Hurry up, you eat slowly, I still want it after I finish eating, so I stole yours, how did you do it?"
Where did Lin Shixing remember such a long time, he shook his head blankly: "I don't remember."
"You, I was robbed of an ice lolly, so I hid in my room and cried. I finished eating your ice lolly and told my mother that you went to bed in the room after eating. When I came out, I didn’t even mention that the popsicle was robbed by me.”
"Tell me about you, it's obviously you who suffered a loss, why are you hiding it? You are bullied, and you don't want to cry outside for fear of being looked down upon. What are you hiding in your own home? If you cry and act like a spoiled child, you will die if you expose your grievances."
Lin Shiheng did not hesitate to teach his sister his unique skills:
"It was the same when I was in school. At that time, my tablemate was taller than me and robbed me of my stationery box. I hit him directly and knocked out one of his teeth. When I saw someone called the teacher , and immediately hit the ground several times, all over myself. It looked as miserable as it was. When the teacher came, I cried more than anyone else, and kept saying that he bullied me. I was afraid to beat him. After his parents came, they thought that my injury was more serious, and they only cared about comforting me, do you remember this?"
Lin Shixing looked at his brother with a face full of words: "My impression is that you were bullied, and your parents bought you a lot of new toys to comfort you. You were only eight years old at that time."
"Yes, at the age of eight, I can protect myself with my own abilities and abilities, and you will only be bullied and hide and cry."
"As for you think I've been bullied, that's because I found that as long as I keep my miserable appearance, my parents will feel sorry for me and give me whatever they want, so I didn't tell my family that it was me pretending to be."
As he said that, he showed a sunny smile: "I also pretended to be decadent for several days, and my parents were very distressed in those days. I agree to play games."
Lin Shixing: "…"
Now she is not at all sad that she has suffered losses since she was a child and her elder brother. For a person like Lin Shiheng, even if she was given another chance, she would not be able to play against him.
"Look, so sometimes I'm really weird. We are obviously brother and sister, so why am I a tiger and you are a little white rabbit?"
"It doesn't matter, even if you are a little white rabbit, I can train you to be a little fox. How about you, do you want me to help you train?"
Various experiences from childhood to adulthood flashed through Lin Shixing's mind one by one.
It stands to reason that she is a younger sister, she has good grades, she is obedient and well-behaved, but whether at home or at school, she has been bullied heavily because of her soft temper, and she has taken all kinds of blame.
She is in pain.
So, change it.
Lin Shixing nodded firmly to his brother.
With a smile, Lin Shiheng stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Shixing's left cheek, kneading it like he was kneading dough, "Okay, leave it to me, although because you are not biological, and your genes are different from mine, I don't have much confidence. But talking is better than nothing.”
Lin Shixing, who was still in "My brother is a scheming boy at such a young age" and "I want to become a scheming girl too", was shocked and looked at his brother in disbelief.
"You... what did you say??"
"Huh? Don't you know?"
A surprised look appeared on the young man's face: "You fought so fiercely with your mother yesterday that I thought you already knew that you were not biological."
Lin Shixing stared at him in disbelief. Tears appeared in his eyes almost unconsciously. He shook his lips for a while before he made a hoarse voice: "I'm not biological? I... I'm not?"
"what… "
Lin Shiheng's eyes flashed with obvious annoyance, he patted his head irritably, stretched out his hand to hold his sister's shoulder, took a few deep breaths, "Shi Xing, don't listen to my nonsense, I like to talk nonsense, I was just kidding. And you."
Lin Shixing couldn't hear anything, she cried and shook her head, "You make it clear, you make it clear..."
"Ok… "
The young man frowned and sighed deeply: "Do you remember our cousin?"
"Actually, you are his sister's child. Their family is poor. You can't afford it after birth, so you have to give it to our family."
Lin Shixing cried dazedly: "But, but Mom said that the family paid a large amount of fine for me..."
"Yes, because Planned Parenthood thinks you are our own child."
"I do not believe… "
Lin Shixing shook his head and sobbed: "I don't believe it, my parents don't like girls, how could it be possible to adopt me, I must be biological, you lied to me... I, I don't believe... "
"Eh… "
Lin Shiheng sighed, patted his sister's head, his eyes full of pity: "You don't even think about it, you are blood type A, I am blood type B, how could we be brothers and sisters."
"And you don't look as good as me. Besides, in our family, my grades are not good. My parents graduated from elementary school, and you are the only one who has studied well. Don't you notice anything?"
Lin Shixing had already cried to tears, she slumped against the bed and sat on the ground, "Impossible, impossible..."
"You lied to me, right? Brother, tell me, you lied to me..."
"Unfortunately."
Lin Shiheng also sat down and faced his sister face to face. With regret and sympathy, he stretched out his hand and touched her head.
When the last trace of hope in her eyes disappeared, he sighed and lowered his head.
The next second, the young man raised his head, with a triumphant and arrogant smile on his face.
"Hahahaha of course I lied to you, you idiot!!"
"Dad is blood type A, mom is blood type B hahahahahahaha!!!"
Lin Shixing stared blankly at his brother who was laughing wildly with tears on his face. After two seconds, he jumped up and threw a pillow in one hand.
"Lin Shiheng!!!"
"You bastard—"
"Hahahahaha don't be angry, am I not teaching you how not to be bullied? Sometimes necessary lies are still very necessary, so tell you, if I lied to you that you are not the biological child of your parents, you Wouldn't it make you feel sorry for your parents' partiality?"
"Fuck off!!!"
"Although it's not good to lie, but if you meet someone who wants to hurt you, it doesn't matter if you lie and get away with it. To be honest, sometimes a lie is more comfortable than reality."
Lin Shixing picked up the pillow that fell on the ground and threw it again: "Don't make excuses for your brazenness, lie to me like this, you are not afraid of thunder!!"
"I'm really not afraid."
The young man took the pillow thrown by his sister and smiled proudly at her: "Benevolence, morality, etiquette, righteousness and shame, you are a saint if you obey, but if someone bullies you and makes you suffer, is it useful to obey them?"
"You are simply unreasonable!"
"Yeah, I don't deny that."
Lin Shiheng threw the pillow lightly, and walked to his sister step by step: "Do you know why you feel pain?"
"Because when you are hurt, even if you are angry, you are worried that your anger will burn others."
Lin Shixing's eyes were red and he looked at his brother panting heavily.
She knew that he had always been like this.
Reckless, I do what I want.
He never considers whether his actions will hurt anyone, just for himself.
Sometimes it is because his brother is ignorant that his parents are sad, and Lin Shixing wants to be more sensible and obedient to comfort his parents.
But now, he told her that her previous actions were wrong.
Lin Shixing didn't understand, she asked:
"I am good to them and feel sorry for them, did I do something wrong?"
"of course not."
The young man, who has always been a fool, patted his sister's head: "But when they hurt you, you can be not so good and feel less distressed for them."
"You love them, who loves you?"
"You are yourself first and the daughter of your parents. You can be filial to them and be nice to them, but you can't obliterate yourself because of their demands, understand?"
"How do you say that?"
"Kindness doesn't mean stupid, tolerance doesn't mean you have no temper, tolerance doesn't mean you can be played at will, and accommodation doesn't mean you can do bad things to her. You can be a good person, but you must be yourself first."
Lin Shixing's tightly clenched hands gradually loosened, she turned her face away, hid her crying face, and wiped the tears with the back of her hands, but more tears still flowed out.
Her voice was a little choked: "I see."
"What are you hiding? If I were you, crying like this, I would definitely let everyone see how wronged and uncomfortable I am, let them feel guilty, let them feel sorry for me, let them comfort me, even if they don't feel bad for me , I also want to let them know that I am uncomfortable, I am uncomfortable, tears that have not been seen, are they still tears?"
Lin Shixing turned his face back while sobbing obediently.
"elder brother."
A crying voice came along with tears: "I'm very sad."
"I know."
Lin Shiheng hugged his sister and patted her back lightly.
"Actually you've been doing really well."
"But I think you can do better."
