The door of Huo Yulin's room was closed, but the light inside was still on. Huo Yao knocked on the wooden door and called out 'Third Brother'.
The old house used to have almost no sound insulation effect. When Huo Yulin heard his sister's voice, he put on his coat again and went to open the door.
When the door was opened, the scent of sandalwood that had just been lit in the room wafted out.
Huo Yao's eyes flickered when he smelled it.
She had prepared a special traditional Chinese medicine for the third brother's situation before, plus acupuncture as an auxiliary treatment. It has been a while since he didn't need to rely on burning incense to help him sleep.
Tonight, it suddenly clicked again. Obviously, he had something on his mind.
"Do you mind chatting with me?" Huo Yao looked at Huo Yulin with concern in his delicate eyes.
Huo Yulin's hand holding the wooden door tightened, but when he met his sister's clear eyes, he felt a strange sense of tranquility. He loosened his fingertips and nodded.
When Huo Yao walked into the room, she closed the door casually. She glanced at the censer curling up in the clouds, then pulled the old wooden chair beside her and sat down.
"Third brother, you are not in a good mood today... Did something happen to you?" Huo Yao asked directly.
Huo Yulin looked at her, and sighed pretending to be relaxed: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from my sister's eyes."
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, "So?"
"I just suddenly remembered something from the past." Huo Yulin didn't intend to tell about Lu Xia's visit because it was unnecessary.
Huo Yao also guessed what was going on, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The reason why some past events feel painful when you think about them is because you didn't face them directly."
Her third brother's pain probably came from not daring to face the previous kidnapping case.
She had never experienced that kind of despair, but after trying to give him psychological hypnotherapy once, she did feel the pain of despair.
Huo Yulin's eyes fell on the lamp on the bedside table, his eyes were a little hazy, and after a long time, a deep and deep voice came out of his mouth, "Everyone thinks that I am in pain because of the kidnapping case back then, but actually... not all of it. "
Huo Yao didn't move his fingers on his knees, but just listened quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Huo Yulin raised his head, there was some indescribable emotion on his white face, he took a breath, he suddenly looked at Huo Yao, fixed his gaze, and said, "If the third brother is not as normal as you imagined, Man, are you afraid?"
He squeezed his left hand tightly.
Huo Yao noticed his emotional change, raised his eyebrows slightly, broke the heaviness in the air, and asked without answering, "What if I'm not the sister you imagined?"
She is also helpless for some things that cannot be explained normally by science.
Huo Yulin was taken aback by this question, even the nervousness subsided unknowingly.
It doesn't mean the imaginary sister... is it because there are many secrets
"No matter how many secrets you have, you will always be my sister." Huo Yulin replied seriously.
Huo Yao nodded, and his voice was a bit awkward, "So, third brother, you just asked that question too badly, so you don't trust your sister so much?"
Huo Yulin was stunned again, these words obviously didn't sound like comforting words, but at this moment, he inexplicably calmed down his emotions, and slowly loosened his clenched left hand.
After Xiao Xu was silent, Huo Yulin pursed his lower lip with a broken smile, and raised his eyes to look at Huo Yao again.
He also understands why the second child and the fourth child no longer look like older brothers, probably because they were invisibly distracted by this little thing.
see you tonight~
