The empty and silent villa was cold and lifeless.
Only the smell of alcohol was strong.
The wine bottle rolled all over the floor.
The remaining wine dripped from the bottle's neck and onto the floor.
The air was filled with a damp, sticky, and pungent smell.
On the soft leather sofa, Pei Ji tilted his chin dejectedly, the protruding Adam's apple on his neck rolled up and down, his drooping eyebrows and eyes were wet and red, looking pitiful, and he hugged himself tightly.
The man dyed his hair back to gray.
The delicate eyebrows and eyes seem to slowly overlap with that of a seventeen-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality.
But he is twenty-seven.
He is no longer the seventeen-year-old Pei Ji.
"We are now interrupting with an emergency notice. A vehicle collision has occurred in Atlanta Half Moon Lake. Please be careful and avoid it when traveling..." The news broadcast in English was interrupted on the TV screen.
It was just an ordinary piece of news.
Pei Ji's gaze suddenly stopped.
Then he stared at a figure that flashed by on TV.
Pei Ji's breathing suddenly became very light. He hurriedly picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button.
Yes...sister.
Even if it's just a fleeting back view.
But this is the sister he has been looking for for so many years...
Pei Ji didn't dare to delay for a second and immediately rushed to Half Moon Lake.
Because of a traffic accident involving two cars ahead, the asphalt road was completely blocked. Pei Ji made his way through the stagnant traffic, his eyes red as he frantically called out, "...Sister! Sister, where are you?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Ji.
One reason is that his appearance is too outstanding.
Second, he was surrounded by a feeling of despair and death, like the last piece of driftwood that a dying man grasped.
They didn't know what this handsome man had experienced, but they could feel his pain and sorrow firsthand.
Pei Ji's throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.
His violently beating heart slowly returned to silence.
I should have gotten used to it long ago.
Pei Ji lowered his eyes, his long crow-feather eyelashes trembling slightly, covering his scarlet eyes.
Sister, don't you want Pei Ji anymore...
But Pei Ji has been very well behaved, very well behaved.
elder sister.
Where are you?
Pei Ji slowly lifted his heavy legs and turned back with empty and wooden eyes. However, the moment he turned around, he saw the slim and familiar figure in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became red.
Pan Shu slowly turned around.
The people around gasped.
The woman was only wearing a simple woolen coat, with a dark green knitted scarf around her neck. Her long hair, like a waterfall, was lazily half-curled up. There was a slight curve on her lips, and she was extremely bright and beautiful.
This is a treasure that attracts crazy pursuit.
Tempting people to sink into the sea of love.
From then on, I couldn't help myself.
The wind stopped.
Even the honking of horns was quiet.
Everyone, including Pei Ji, stared in amazement at the woman in front of them, whose beauty was beyond human imagination.
Five years later——
Pei Ji finally found his sister.
Pan Shu raised her lips slightly, "Are you still crying?"
"elder sister……"
Pei Ji almost didn't dare to blink, fearing that everything before him was just another hallucination. When he woke up, everything would be gone. Only he would be left.
"Um?"
"elder sister."
Pei Ji's heavy and slow footsteps became faster and faster until he was just a few feet away from her.
Pan Shu looked at him quietly, with an indulgent smile on her lips.
Pei Ji was much thinner than she remembered. His prominent brow arches were covered with a faint layer of gloom. He was shrouded in a faint, dull and lifeless aura. Pan Shu slowly reached out and touched his increasingly delicate eyebrows. "Pei Ji, why aren't you talking?"
"Am I dreaming, sister?"
Pei Ji moved his lips and uttered these words with trembling voice.
He didn't even dare to hug.
He was so cautious, afraid of disturbing her.
Pan Shu smiled and put her arm around Pei Ji's waist. Smelling the alcohol on him, Pan Shu paused, "Have you been drinking?"
Pei Ji felt a little guilty, "...a little bit."
Afraid that Pan Shu wouldn't believe him, he raised his hoarse voice slightly, "It's really only a little bit."
He missed his sister so much.
So even if everything before him was a dream or an illusion, he was willing to immerse himself in it and didn't want to expose it.
Pei Ji took Ban Shu back to the villa nervously.
In order to find Pan Shu, he almost turned the earth upside down. The villa in Atlantis was just his temporary residence.
Pan Shu leaned against the door frame, looking at the messy house, crossed her arms, and said lightly, "Clean up the house."
Pei Ji said "Oh" obediently.
Although he had been drinking, he was still conscious. It was difficult for him to clean up such a big villa by himself, not to mention that he wanted to spend more time with his sister, so he tapped his phone a few times, contacted the housekeeping company, and then smiled ingratiatingly at Panshu.
"Sister, this time... can you stay in Pei Ji's dream a little longer? A little longer?"
Pei Ji's eyes were red and he turned his head away pretending to be calm.
"Otherwise, I really can't find a reason to continue living."
Panshu's originally tense expression suddenly softened, and she hummed softly.
"What if you can't find me?" she asked softly.
Pei Ji lowered his head and rested it against Ban Shu's collarbone, rubbing it gently like a spoiled child. Her soft, gray hair was like the fur on a kitten's belly, not prickly at all when it touched the skin, but instead made people feel even more soft-hearted.
"Keep looking." He said stubbornly.
"What if we can't find it?" Pan Shu asked again.
Pei Ji paused for two seconds, "Sister, then Pei Ji has no reason to live."
He whispered, "Life is so painful."
Pan Shu's heart suddenly ached.
The housekeeping company quickly cleaned the villa. Pan Shu touched Pei Ji's hair helplessly and softened her voice, "Okay, let me go, Pei Ji."
"No."
Pei Ji raised his head, his eyes red, "What should I do if my sister is leaving again?"
Ban Shu: "...I'm not leaving."
"Sister lied."
Pan Shu had no choice but to let him hold her.
She drooped her eyelids sleepily, found the bedroom and lay down, pulling the quilt over herself, "I want to sleep, don't make any noise."
Pei Ji whispered the word "good".
Pan Shu opened her eyelids, stared at Pei Ji's sparkling eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed, "Pei Ji, you are such a grown-up, and you still act like a spoiled child. Isn't it shameful?"
She heard Pei Ji mumble something.
But before Panshu could hear what he said clearly, she fell into a deep sleep.
She dreamed of Chen Que and He Jiali.
With red eyes, they grabbed each other's hair without caring about their image, and turned their heads to ask Pan Shu aggrievedly, "Sister, am I more important to you or is he more important?"
“…”
Is it ever going to end?
"elder sister!"
"elder sister--"
This is Pei Ji.
