The girl was still crying, crying out the grievances and guilt in her heart.

From those intermittent words.

Xu Xi finally understood the real reason why Mo Li was reluctant to meet him.

It is the regret of witnessing the death of loved ones and being unable to do anything about it. It is the escape from becoming a heavy burden and being unable to accept the cruel facts.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

"It's all my fault. I harmed my brother..."

"I was the one who was wrong. It was me who caused my brother to lose his life. I am the one who should apologize..."

Xu Moli's voice became increasingly sad, gradually turning into pure crying.

She lay on Xu Xi's back and buried her head in his shoulder. All her regrets turned into crystal tears, wetting the shoulder she leaned on.

The once sickly girl has become a being beyond eternity.

But until today.

She still couldn't forgive herself.

It is unforgivable that I caused my brother's death, was completely powerless and could only howl in despair.

"Mo Li."

The voice from Xu Xi once again rang in the girl's ears, causing her body to tremble.

Is my brother going to scold her?

Will her brother not accept her change?

Everything the fairy feared did not happen.

The slow and gentle words were like the warm spring sunshine caressing my cheeks: "It has been hard to be alone all along, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so late."

The man did not mean to blame her. On the contrary, his voice was full of sympathy and love, constantly comforting the insecure girl.

But such words are like a sharp stab.

It went straight through Xu Moli’s chest and heart.

It made her cry even harder.

Autumn is cold, and the coming winter is even more chilling.

The passage of time brings about external changes.

Compared to the end of the first simulation, Xu Moli's appearance has changed a little. That change is called maturity, and also called loneliness.

The system is pleased with the girl's growth, but also feels sorry for the price paid.

one time.

Two times.

Xu Xi sat down and stretched out his hand, placing his palm lightly on the little head that was crying sadly on his shoulder.

He stroked the top of her head gently, like comforting her sister when she was a child.

"It's good to be back. There's no need to blame yourself or feel guilty. Let the past be the past."

Xu Xi's voice is very gentle.

The girl didn't answer.

But the sound of her crying became weaker and weaker, and the hug of Xu Xi became stronger and stronger. The heaviness and tightness meant that the helpless and crying little girl had someone to rely on again.

She once again possessed the "hero" who would step on thorns and face the scorching sun to resolutely save her.

"Brother, will you leave Mo Li again?"

A trembling voice came from behind.

"… Never again."

Not a lie, but the truth.

After getting the answer she wanted, the girl's mood seemed to ease a lot, but she still hugged Xu Xi's neck tightly and rested her head on Xu Xi's shoulders from behind.

He refused to let go.

Inexplicably, Xu Xi felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar.

Why is that?

"I remember, I seem to have experienced this somewhere." Perhaps he searched his memory and soon found that he had woken up several times in the morning and felt his body was stuffy and anxious.

The feeling is the same as it is now.

In other words, the so-called sleep paralysis does not exist. Is the discomfort I have been feeling because of my sister's sneaky behavior in the middle of the night?

Xu Xi smiled.

He was laughing at the truth of the farce, and also at his sister's bad temper.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but with Xu Xi's gentle caress and comfort, the girl finally stopped crying. Xu Xi held her hand and sat her on the other side of the wooden table.

now.

Xu Xi finally saw the girl's full appearance.

Strange? No, she is still the familiar, crying little girl.

Are you familiar with it? I don't think so.

Unlike the witch who is always 17 years old, although Xu Moli's face remains forever due to her cultivation of immortality, her body will still grow.

He was taller, had longer hair, and looked cooler than Xu Xi remembered.

The sister who used to chase Xu Xi and ask him about the length of life has grown up to the point where she has her own experience of life as time goes by.

It's trance-like.

"it's beautiful."

Xu Xi spoke softly and helped wipe the tears from the girl's face, making her face clean again.

"Thank you, brother..."

Familiar words, but with a different tone.

When Xu Moli was young, his voice was extremely lively and full of childish innocence.

But now, the girl, who has grown up, is a little hesitant. The long-awaited reunion makes her a little reserved and she doesn't even know what to say.

"Mo Li, have some candy."

Maybe the department decided to ease the awkward atmosphere.

He opened the sugar jar again, took out a brown soft candy and handed it to Xu Moli who was sitting next to him.

"Um."

The girl responded obediently, took the candy and put it in her mouth.

The candy doesn't taste outstanding.

But there is one thing that is special.

The love contained in it will never expire.

Because the person who gave the candy meaning, the only brother she cared about, was sitting next to her, looking at her tenderly.

"Brother, the candy is delicious. Mo Li likes it very much."

Finish eating the soft candy.

Xu Moli smiled at Xu Xi.

This time, the expression on her face seemed familiar, with some of her childhood coquettishness and the innocence of her sickness, as if she had returned to the past.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Just smiling and laughing.

Two lines of tears fell uncontrollably.

Make cheeks moist again.

"As long as you like it, there are still plenty of candies. We can eat them slowly later." Xu Xi's movements were very delicate. He slowly wiped away the tears on his sister's face, wiping away the pain left by the past years.

In the first simulation, the brother and sister had a happy childhood.

After the simulation ended, Xu Moli felt very sad.

Maybe it's an attempt to repair that broken heart.

But the girl shook her head.

There was no need to repair it anymore, no need to cover it up anymore. The moment she truly appeared in front of Xu Xi, her cold heart became warm again.

As long as she looked at Xu Xi, as long as she looked at Xu Xi, the girl would feel extremely satisfied.

"Is that so? At least everything is alright."

Xu Xi smiled.

Subconsciously want to touch the girl's head.

But he suddenly remembered that his sister had grown up and had gone through many years of training and killing. Maybe she no longer liked this kind of trick to coax children.

So Xu Xi withdrew his hand again.

Unexpectedly, Mo Li took the initiative to hold Xu Xi's wrist, lowered his head, and placed his palm lightly on his head.

"Brother, do you still remember?"

"Remember what?"

"When I was little, I complained to my brother that he patted my head too many times, which was why I didn't grow taller."

"That's true, but why are you still..."

"Now, Mo Li has grown up and doesn't need to grow taller."

The girl whispered.

His eyes were looking at Xu Xi, but it seemed as if he was looking at something from a distance.
