The hymn continued, each note like a blow to her heart, which had already been crushed to dust.
"Stop! Stop right there!"
"If you keep going like this, don't expect me to hug you or kiss you again!"
She roared, and the silver flames burned even brighter.
"Sweetie, be a good boy!"
"Aren't you the one who listens to me the most? Now I'm telling you to stop!"
She coaxed him, and the flames engulfed his neck.
"Sweetie, please, stop!"
"I can't live without you, sister..."
She pleaded, and the flames finally stopped.
Because it has completely swallowed up the person she loves with all her heart.
Xiao Wujie's body became completely ethereal; a single breath could dissipate it.
As the flames burned, he was also undergoing subtle changes.
His complexion began to regain its rosy hue, and his skin and features became increasingly youthful, as if he had returned to the moment he stepped off the plane from Harbin to the capital.
After countless sails have passed, the young man returns.
With his last gaze, he looked at Chu Liyue and smiled gently.
Thank you, sister.
I crave your pampering and your love so deeply that I demand it endlessly.
You made me realize that in this cold world, there are people who can give me the most passionate love, and you made me understand that it's better to be alive when you have someone to care about.
Even if this is just a dream I have before I die, even if this dream should end...
I have no regrets about coming here, and I have no regrets about meeting you.
I want to say goodbye to my sister again!
——
Chu Liyue began to regain consciousness, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds.
"It's a miracle. This level of injury could kill someone in a second, but Miss Chu wasn't hurt at all."
"A miracle! Could it be that someone is truly protected by God? This is unbelievable!"
...
The moment she opened her eyes, Bai Jingxuan threw herself into her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Liyue, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"
"How could you be so foolish? Why did you rush over? No matter how cute that child is, you can't risk your own life!"
Chu Liyue was held in her arms, her gaze lowered, her fingers rubbing together slightly.
It felt as if a gentle energy within my body had completely vanished; this was the miracle the doctor had described.
Memories can only be sealed away; the chains disappear, and all the things buried in the cage come to light.
The last thing he left her was gone.
“He… called me sister,” she murmured.
Bai Jingxuan was suddenly stunned, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she hugged her tightly.
"Liyue, it's all over now. Trust your mother, it's all over now."
A flicker of emotion crossed Chu Liyue's empty eyes. "It's all... in the past..." Three years have passed.
The story of the eldest daughter of the Chu family risking her life to save a child who had been separated from his family spread throughout the capital.
The media gave it extensive coverage, and the government even held an award ceremony.
That very night, flames shot into the sky from the cemetery in the eastern part of the capital.
Chu Liyue, dressed in a red suit, opened the ice coffin and took out the person sleeping peacefully inside.
Tears did not blur her vision.
She gently stroked his head and his flat stomach with her palms.
The suit he was wearing was the one she personally helped him choose when they got engaged.
The pink flower on the collar, in particular, makes the baby look so gentle.
But why are you being so cruel to me this time?
Three years, how could you bear to let me forget you for three years?
I promised you I would never let you be alone again, so why did you make me break my promise?
Do you know how much pain I've suffered for the three years I've forgotten you?
Fool, you want me to be happy, but how can I be happy without you in this world?
She knew he was afraid of the cold and being alone, so she hugged him tightly and came to find him.
She couldn't stand being in a world without him for even a moment longer.
She's too late; I wonder if she'll still be able to find him?
He's so foolish, maybe he's still foolishly waiting for her?
The flames consumed everything, and a photograph floated out of Xiao Wujie's pocket. In the photograph, Chu Liyue was hugging him, and he told Chu Liyue that he liked his sister very much.
The flames turned the color photograph into black and white, then burned it to ashes, which drifted away in the wind.
Chu Liyue saw the young man in the red suit get off the plane again. He was as aloof as an immortal, but when his eyes met hers, all of that turned into obedient, soft dependence and affection.
He came to her and said in a melodious voice, "Sister."
She stared at him blankly. After a moment, he put his hands behind his back, a hint of resentment in his eyes, and said softly:
"Why doesn't my sister call me 'darling'? Why doesn't she hug me?"
Chu Liyue: "You've been naughty this time, I don't want to hug you anymore."
The boy leaned closer to her, almost pressing himself against her chest, a soft, aggrieved look appearing in his eyes:
"But... Sister, I've been waiting for you for so long."
Chu Liyue's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She hugged him tightly, gently stroking his head and tenderly kissing the corner of his lips.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The boy nestled against her, clinging tightly to her, his voice trembling with a sob of grievance:
"I never want to be separated from my sister again."
Chu Liyue picked him up and walked into the distance: "I will never be separated from my darling again."
