Chapter 211 God's Descent 02
Jiang Yuelu never thought that one day he would doubt his own sister.
Just one door away.
He was only one door away from the sister he had been looking for for more than two years, but he did not open the door for her immediately.
He stood at the door and listened to Yan Lu knocking on the door for a while. In the distance, there was Yan Fei's voice, "Brother, are you still not awake?"
Yan Lu said angrily: "It's all your fault. You insisted on making my brother go to the parents' meeting. He got sick because of you."
Yan Fei: "I didn't. I've always been a good role model. You should ask him about this. Ah Yin, did you fight with someone at school again? Look how mad you made me."
Jiang Yuelu couldn't hear Yan Yin's voice, but he could guess that he must have tacitly agreed to this matter and kept making faces at his brother and sister.
Sure enough, Yan Lu raised his voice the next second and rushed over angrily, "You are still happy, come here and admit your mistake to me!"
The sound faded away, and there was a commotion.
Jiang Yuelu was blinded unconsciously. He saw his own smile in the mirror opposite. That smile was relieved and sincere. How long has it been since he felt so relaxed?
"Brother, brother." Yan Lu had already grabbed Yan Yin's ear and came to the door, "Hiss, it hurts, can you be gentler, brother, please come out quickly, come and save my ear!"
"Creaky——" the door opened.
"elder brother!"
"elder brother!"
Yan Yin rushed over immediately and hugged his brother's thigh tightly. Yan Lu saw it and didn't want to be outdone, so he hugged the other one. As soon as Jiang Yuelu opened the door, two children grew on his legs. He shook them hard, but they didn't move. He said helplessly: "Can you come down first?"
"Why? Brother, I won't come down unless you forgive me..." Yan Yin muttered, and suddenly he saw his sister on the opposite leg winking at him. He rolled his eyes, obediently let go of her hand, and retreated with Yan Lu.
Yan Lu smiled and said, "Brother, Yan Fei has already prepared the meal, shall we go eat first?"
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "Okay."
They finished their dinner quickly, and when they were clearing the dishes, the biological parents of the three Yan siblings, Jiang Yuelu's adoptive parents, had not returned from the company yet. The four of them were used to this.
After Jiang Yuelu finished eating, he subconsciously started to clean up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes as he did before. He knew that these three children could not be alive and he did not need to treat them specially, but washing the dishes after a meal was like muscle memory, engraved in his mind.
Maybe they are too realistic.
Every move is vivid.
Yan Lu felt wronged for waiting for him to open the door for a long time. She would subconsciously blink when she was scheming, and discuss bad things with Yan Yin. As for Yan Fei, the food he cooked tasted like this. Jiang Yuelu almost couldn't recover when she tasted the first bite just now. All this was too realistic.
This made him start to get into the role.
In order not to get lost in the situation, he decided to do something he didn't usually do.
So he put down the dishes, and Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong, brother?"
Jiang Yuelu: "You guys take the shower today. I'm a little tired."
The three children watched him turn around and leave. After they went upstairs, it took a long time before they heard the door close. Yan Lu whispered, "Did you forget?"
Yan Yin: "He won't remember these things."
Yan Fei has already started washing the dishes. "Let's proceed as planned. Are all the things ready?"
“Ready!”
…
An hour later.
Jiang Yuelu opened her eyes again.
Still the same ceiling.
It seemed that he would not wake up from this dream for a while, so he sat up resignedly and began to think about whether the three people outside were real or fake.
First of all, he saw the bodies of the three children with his own eyes.
Then he picked up the "admission letter" from the instigator, and his goal became clear from then on. He wanted to find out the suspicious points about their deaths, no matter what force it was that distorted science to the point of non-existence and made the dead appear in another way, he would look for it.
Now all three children showed up.
His doubts were gradually dispelled after he felt their genuineness. Does that mean... he can try to believe them?
Sometimes, believing is much harder than doubting.
Jiang Yuelu planned to find something to do first, and the first thing he did was to observe his room. The room itself was nothing special, but Jiang Yuelu saw the calendar on the table, with today's date marked with a circle and three exclamation marks. When he saw the date clearly, thunder rumbled in his mind.
Today... is Yan Lu’s birthday.
Yan Lu’s birthday!
That was the day the fire broke out!
Jiang Yuelu opened the door and rushed out as fast as the wind. He didn't even wear socks, and the cold went to his bones as he stepped on the stairs. When he ran down the stairs and was about to turn into the living room and see the three children, he suddenly stopped.
He didn't dare move anymore.
Not a day went by in the past two years when he didn't dream about the fire that night.
There was not a single time when he was not firmly fixed in place by external forces, watching the fire burn the house to ashes. That was how it was. He did nothing that night. When he was asleep on the second floor, Yan Lu and the others were burned to death downstairs. Didn't he hear the screams of his brother and sister while he was sleeping soundly?
He could not forgive himself for the nightmares that had continued for two years.
Time finally came to that night again, and this time he was fixed in the same place, and he could witness everything with his own eyes.
At this time, Jiang Yuelu thought he would rush in eagerly, but he didn't, he didn't dare.
I don’t know how long he stood there barefoot before he took the first step hesitantly.
The first thought that came to my mind was: there is no fire.
Yes. There was no fire in the living room, it was pitch black. God knows how much comfort and courage this darkness gave Jiang Yuelu. He walked into the living room step by step. When he was about to touch the sofa, there was a sudden "crack" above his head, as if something exploded slightly and fell on his head.
Tiny debris stuck to the back of his neck, and the slightest movement made Jiang Yuelu hold his breath.
The light suddenly came on, not too glaring, but warm and gentle.
A huge cake was placed on the coffee table. Yan Fei, Yan Yin, and Yan Lu popped up together, waving their hands like three little saplings, "Happy birthday, brother!"
Jiang Yuelu opened her mouth but no words came out.
Yan Yin winked and said, "Are you so touched that you can't even speak? You have to give us gifts later, don't forget!"
Yan Lu scolded, "It's a gift for me, something neither you nor Yan Fei have! Don't think too much about it."
Yan Fei: "Okay, okay, listen to what I have to say, you guys are really too noisy..."
Jiang Yuelu felt a little dizzy. "Today... uh, you are celebrating my birthday. No, isn't it Lulu's birthday? Why are you wishing me a happy birthday?"
Yan Lu said aggrievedly: "Brother! You forgot! Didn't we agree on this a long time ago? Our birthdays are both in this month, so we celebrated them together. You looked so weird today..."
Jiang Yuelu was stunned. "Really?"
Yan Lu was really unhappy now, "Yes, look, I even wrote you a greeting card."
She really had a greeting card in her hand, which read: I wish my brother and I happiness every day (ps, let Yan Fei and Yan Yin be happy too). Below the blessing was a doodle, the brushstrokes were very childish, four little people were singing in the flower field, one big, three small, and the smallest little person had two pigtails, just like Yan Lu's pigtails at this moment.
Jiang Yuelu noticed that it was his technique and he was the one who tied Yan Lu's hair.
Yes...it was indeed him who tied Lulu's hair that morning.
But why did it become like this?
Jiang Yuelu looked neither happy nor touched, which made Yan Lu and the others very confused. Yan Lu stepped on the sofa and touched her brother's forehead, "It's not a fever... Brother, you... you don't want to celebrate your birthday with me?"
Jiang Yuelu shook her head subconsciously, "No, I just..."
"I just..."
He thought for a long time before finding the words, "I just didn't expect it to be like this."
They didn't understand, "What's this?"
"That's right... I thought you weren't writing greeting cards, but playing the game of summoning spirits..." Jiang Yuelu still felt a chill at the thought, and he quickly shook off the feeling, "Haven't you always been interested in the game of summoning spirits? We even agreed to play it together."
"But brother, didn't you say you didn't like us playing this kind of game?"
Jiang Yuelu: "Did I say that?"
"Yeah. You also lost the small cards and candles that Yanyin bought. I got really angry that day... Why are you talking about this again today?"
Yan Fei had been observing the battlefield, and only spoke up at this time, "Brother, are you afraid that we are still playing secretly? We won't."
He gave Yan Yin a warning look. Yan Yin licked her lips and said honestly, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Actually... I found the candles and cards that day, but -! Don't glare at me yet, wait until I finish! But I checked the box the next day, and those things were gone again!"
"Gone?"
"Yeah. I thought my brother threw me out again..."
Yan Lu said angrily: "Of course it is, you didn't listen so your brother is so angry!"
"I was wrong……"
"It's all your fault. My brother still suspects me on my birthday..."
The familiar quarrel made Jiang Yuelu sigh, "Okay, I get it. You don't have the heart to play the game of summoning spirits..."
A light bulb went off in his head.
Since I’m not playing anymore, does that mean that the future will be different from this moment on?
Jiang Yuelu celebrated her birthday with them half-believingly. When the clock reached zero, everything was fine. The three of them were alive and well. There was no fire, and no death.
Yan Lu looked at him and put down the half-eaten cake, "...Brother, why are your eyes red?"
No.
My brother was just too happy.
Jiang Yuelu never thought that this day would end normally.
He no longer had to do autopsies or take over the company. Admissions and colleges all disappeared perfectly from his life.
His life returned to normal, and the Yan family also returned to its previous trajectory.
Yan Fei was trained as a key person, Yan Yin studied what he was interested in, and Yan Lu grew up freely. They were admitted to high school and graduated with excellent grades. In the end, Yan Fei studied for an MBA, Yan Yin became a pilot, and Lu Lu stayed in the local area and started a cosmetics company on her own.
On the opening day, Jiang Yuelu also went to help cut the ribbon.
That day he met Yan Lu's boyfriend for the first time. Yan Yin gritted her teeth as she handed him the scissors, "I shouldn't have brought him to meet my sister. What kind of brother is that? Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows!"
Yan Yin vowed to break up his sister's love, but things did not go as planned, and they entered the wedding hall a year later. When Jiang Yuelu was applauding from the audience, it was hard to believe that this beautiful girl in a wedding dress was the charred body he saw in the morgue many years ago.
...Why do I think of these things? He shook his head, thinking that he might be a little old.
Yan Fei got married, and so did Yan Lu. After so many years, how could he stay where he was?
He had lived peacefully and smoothly these years, and only occasionally would he think of a pair of red eyes. Who... who were they?
Through the hazy dream, I looked at myself expressionlessly...
It seems to be saying...
Why did you forget me again?
Jiang Yuelu shook his head and raised his hand to hit Yan Yin on the head, "Boy, you are the only one left. When will I, your brother, feel at ease if I see you not flying to the sky?"
Yan Yin smiled and said, "Then you will be disappointed. Look - I'm getting married too!"
He took out an envelope like a magician. Jiang Yuelu took it with a smile, and said as he opened it, "Good boy, it's just like how you quietly prepared to take the college entrance examination that year..." His smile froze on his lips.
The wedding invitation inside the envelope was black.
He turned it over and saw a line of big words: Admission Letter.
