168 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Parallel Time and Space Extra – Orthopedics Chapter (8)
byXie Zhaozhao approached him step by step, forcing Xie Ciyan to have no place to escape. Today, he was going to prick the wound that had scabbed for eight years but not healed thoroughly, and asked her what she had not had the chance to ask back then.
“I still remember every word written on that birthday card here.” She raised her hand and pressed it on her heart, with red eyes, “Xie Ciyan, you obviously like me too, why don’t you admit it now? It was obviously me who smoked back then, and the cigarette was mine, so why did it end up in your bag, and why did you go abroad without saying a word?!”
She should have asked these words eight years ago, but Xie Zhaozhao, who was still a girl at that time, did not have the courage to ask, and Xie Zhaozhao now also has no courage, fearing that after the window paper is broken, the man in front of her will disappear silently again.But once the words were spoken, there was no room for maneuver.
But this time, she has grown up. Even if Xie Ciyan avoids going abroad, she can follow in his footsteps.
Seeing that the man was still silent, she clenched her fists tightly and her voice gradually lost control.”Speak!”
Xie Ciyan took a deep breath, his lowered eyes were full of forbearance, without any glimmer of light, and his throat was tight.”I am your brother. I should not and cannot make such a mistake. I know that this dark emotion is not allowed, so why do I let it continue to spread? I should have stopped the twisted thoughts at the beginning.”
He always thought that he had hidden his twisted thoughts very well, but he never expected that the greeting card he wrote eight years ago had become Pandora’s box. If a glimmer of love that should not have been glimpsed was released and exposed to the sun, it would only lead to disaster.He closed his eyes heavily and suppressed all the emotions that should not be exposed. His fingertips unconsciously tightened, as if trying to grasp something, but finally let go quietly.When I opened my eyes again, it was already deserted and there was no other emotion.
Xie Ciyan returned to his previous appearance, and his whole body was surrounded by a cold and hard aura. “As for the smoke, I found an opportunity in your schoolbag to go abroad in this way and leave here to live again.” His voice was low and cold, like a blade cutting through the air on a cold winter night, without a trace of warmth.”I took advantage of you.”
Xie Zhaozhao’s tightly clenched fists suddenly loosened, and crystal tears fell silently from his eyes like broken pearls. His slender fingertips quickly touched his cheeks and wiped away the tears in a panic, “Do you think saying this can erase everything that happened to us?” She sneered, “Xie Ciyan, if you really don’t care about me at all, just turn around and look into my eyes and say it.”
As if Xie Ciyan wanted to end this farce quickly, he suddenly turned around and suddenly raised his eyes to meet her red eyes a few steps away from her.The statement that had been rehearsed several times in my heart was instantly choked in my throat. My thin lips moved, but there was only silence when I spoke.
The returning reason kept telling him that it was time to leave now, that he should turn around and leave here without hesitation, forgetting everything that had just happened.But his body couldn’t move, his feet seemed to be nailed in place, and he couldn’t even move a step away.
He sighed deeply, his eyes dim and unclear, trying his best to suppress all the emotions that should not surface again.”Stop making trouble.” His voice was hoarse to the extreme, and the coldness was a little lighter. “If you really make trouble in front of your parents, how will you handle yourself? How will they live?”
After all, Xie Ciyan couldn’t bear to say those words. He turned away and stopped looking at her, not letting Xie Zhaozhao notice the unbearable emotion in his eyes. His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, as if he was suppressing something.”Put on your clothes and go back quickly. Don’t let your parents worry.” This time, after he finished speaking, he opened the door of the box and walked out, leaning his back against the wall and taking a deep breath.He glanced sideways at the still closed door of the box, and a faint wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a reckless young man who had discovered his secret and only knew how to escape.
When Xie Zhaozhao came out again, she was no longer wearing the eye-catching red skirt, but an ordinary shirt and jeans. All the makeup on her face had been removed, and she looked like a quiet and well-behaved underage girl.He didn’t ask how she got out of the house after the access control time. The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak again. Xie Ciyan walked ahead and took out his mobile phone to take a taxi and went back with her without saying a word, just like two strangers carpooling.
Xie Ciyan and Xie Zhaozhao entered the house together. Only then did he know that his parents were not at home tonight. They went out to attend a banquet and would not come back tonight.Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on Xie Zhaozhao casually, and then quickly moved away. It was really deliberate.What happened just now, they shouldn’t be alone in the same room tonight, Xie Ci flirted with the idea of going out and staying in a hotel for one night, but then gave it up because he was worried about Xie Zhaozhao. After watching her return to his room, he ordered the servants to go down to rest, and then returned to his room.
After closing the door and facing darkness in the room, Xie Ciyan exhaled a breath of turbidity.He rubbed his painful forehead with two fingers, and there was a little bit of uncontrollable fatigue between his brows and eyes.He walked to the desk that he had not used for a long time, stretched out his fingertips to open the dusty drawer, but when he was about to touch it, he hesitated and retracted his fingertips, and finally pulled it open.
The drawer that had not been opened for a long time made some strange noises. The papers in it were all scattered from his high school days. The old papers were a little yellowed and filled with a faint musty smell.He flipped up the paper expertly, groped underneath with his big palm, and took out the photo frame that was pressed underneath.Even after many years, there is still no hesitation in the movements, as if they have been repeated many times.
It was a photo of his family when they were traveling to the island. At that time, he was still wearing the back hair that his parents strictly required. His forehead was shiny and there was no extra hair. He wore a pair of flat glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked like a top student, which was completely different from his current appearance.Xie Zhaozhao still looked innocent and obedient, with his ponytail flying in the wind, a cheerful smile on his face, and a very earthy “yeah” gesture towards the camera.And he didn’t like taking pictures. There was a little impatience between his brows and eyes, but he still had no choice but to cooperate. He put his palm on Xie Zhaozhao’s shoulder and hugged her. He leaned a little closer, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc. The camera captured that moment.
When Xie Ciyan looked at this photo again, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but deepen, and his eyebrows softened instantly.He turned the photo frame over to the back, opened it and found that the greeting card hidden inside had disappeared. It must have been taken away by Xie Zhaozhao.He rubbed Xie Zhaozhao’s cheek in the photo with his fingertips. Until now, he dared to use the cover of the quiet night to gently touch the thoughts that he shouldn’t have. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes hidden in the darkness were filled with a lingering love and turbulent struggle that grew like vines.
The cool evening breeze blowing by outside the window, like his fingertips lingering over the girl in the photo, quietly agitated his heart that was already unable to calm down and could not calm down.Xie Ciyan laughed at himself, and his thoughts followed the photo in front of him back to the time when he first realized that he had feelings for her that went beyond brother and sister.
In fact, he couldn’t remember when he had such feelings for her. When he was a child, his parents were busy away from home, and the only person who spent the most time with him at home was his sister, who was only a few years younger than him.He also had some resentment towards his parents who rarely accompanied their siblings, so he didn’t want Xie Zhaozhao to feel abandoned by her relatives, so he took care of his brother’s responsibilities and took care of her in every way.When she couldn’t sleep, she would tell her stories to coax her and stay with her. When she was free, she would take her to a nearby small park to play.
The little girl was quite clever, and she completely relied on him when she came and went. She would follow him wherever he went, like a little tail.Later, it got even worse. He had to help her even take a bath. No matter how much the servants tried to coax her, she would come to his room to sleep like a little hooligan at night. She would even cry when he chased her away. He had no choice but to feed this little ancestor who he had indulged himself with.
In the following years, the two of them continued to live like this, and even the servants couldn’t help but sincerely sigh that the brother and sister had such a good relationship when they saw them.Xie Ciyan was also used to having a little tail behind him, a gangster who followed him wherever he went. It wasn’t until his parents finally shifted their focus back home that they curbed their lifestyle.
After that day, no matter how much he looked back, he could not see the figure of Little Tail, but Xie Ciyan couldn’t get used to it.When going out, he would subconsciously pick up Xie Zhaozhao’s shoes. He would naturally bend down to put them on for her, only then suddenly realized that she would no longer follow him out.At that moment, he couldn’t tell what he was feeling. He was so irritated that he was not even in the mood to go out and play.
When Xie Ciyan grew older, he gradually realized that his feelings for Xie Zhaozhao were no longer just brother and sister, but the feelings of a man who liked a woman and wanted to possess her so that she could only be his.When such twisted feelings first emerged, he was only shocked for a few days before accepting it calmly.At that time, he didn’t think it was unreasonable to like his sister. Xie Zhaozhao had grown up with him since he was a child, and they lived and ate together. Why did he become distant when he grew up?Has intimacy become a taboo?
The essence of brothers and sisters is just a man and a woman living under the same roof. They just have an extra blood bond than others. It is precisely because of this blood relationship that they should be closer to each other, right?
As he grew older and received etiquette and moral indoctrination, Xie Ciyan gradually realized that his love was a deformed love that was not recognized by the world.The pace that was about to cross the moral boundary suddenly stopped, and he retreated before crossing. He didn’t want the person he cherished to be criticized by worldly morality, so he learned to be forbearing and restrained himself from approaching her. Instead, he became her little tail, following her like a rogue, but he didn’t dare to let her know.
He has always been extremely restrained, and the only time he couldn’t help it was when he watched his beloved girl grow into a woman little by little on her birthday.Xie Ciyan was madly jealous, and at that moment he clearly realized that Xie Zhaozhao would one day fall in love with the man she should like, marry the person she liked, have children, and spend the rest of her life together, but he could only watch the girl in his hand marry someone else.That night, he couldn’t suppress the emotions in his heart, wrote the greeting card, walked to her room door, raised his hand to knock on the door, and then lowered it after hesitating for a moment. In the end, he did not send the greeting card out, but hid it in the interlayer of the photo frame, as if this could hide his thoughts.
But everything is just a cover-up of his desires.
Xie Ciyan really overestimated himself. He thought he could hide this thought until he was old and until the day he died.But he didn’t expect that his obsession with her would become stronger day by day, and he even had the idea of hiding her forever, so that no one would hold high the moral banner to criticize the two of them, and she would not marry another man. It would be great to belong to him only for the rest of her life, living together as before.
When he realized that he was terminally ill, Xie Ciyan found a cigarette in her schoolbag. He hid it in his schoolbag and planned to find a time to have a good chat with her, but before that, he was accidentally discovered by the teacher and invited the parents.While his parents were scolding him repeatedly, he caught a glimpse of the figure hiding in the stairwell. His eyebrows suddenly softened, and he was secretly glad that it was him who was asked to be a parent today, and not Xie Zhaozhao.
She was so cowardly that she didn’t even dare to look. How could she withstand the anger of her parents?It was also at this moment that he had the idea of leaving this home.Today I just found cigarettes in his schoolbag. I didn’t even ask him. He was so angry. If the second elder found out that he was possessive of his biological sister, he would probably make these two people in front of him angry to death.Xie Ciyan didn’t even listen to a word of what they scolded, he just wandered into space thinking that if Xie Zhaozhao was scolded like this in the future just because he was standing here, he would probably be heartbroken to death.
He gave a wry smile. At that time, would Xie Zhaozhao blame him?It was because of his delusions that she lost her home.When the old man saw that he looked like he was in need of food and salt, he became even more angry and said harshly that he wanted to send him out of the country.At that moment, Xie Ciyan looked up as if he had suddenly made up his mind, and said calmly that he wanted to go abroad.
He was afraid that one day he would be the one who hurt her. Perhaps only by leaving could he restrain his growing thoughts.Xie Ciyan avoided her, and even made up his mind not to say a word to her on the day he left. He was afraid that when he saw her, he would not want to leave, and he was afraid that she would ask him why, so he ran away like a deserter and hid in a place where Xie Zhaozhao was not around.
After going abroad, Xie Ciyan lived a very chaotic and arbitrary life, as if he wanted to numb himself and forget something.Clubbing, racing, and doing every crazy thing, he even refused to refuse anyone who came. He couldn’t talk to different women for more than three months, and he never had a trace of sincerity. He was a complete and slutty Neptune.
But every time when he was about to cross the thunder pool, Xie Zhaozhao’s face would flash before his eyes, and then he would look up at the woman in front of him who was completely different from her. He would instantly feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. He could no longer arouse any interest, and could not even kiss her. At that moment, he knew that he might not be able to accept any woman other than Xie Zhaozhao in this life.
He thought that after 8 years, his obsession with Xie Zhaozhao had become much lighter, but he did not expect that Xie Zhaozhao now grew up to be as dazzling and thorny as a rose, and he could not ignore her even if he wanted to.When he saw her again, his heart would still beat violently, which was completely opposite to those women who were as calm as water. When he heard her say that she liked him, he seemed to have really lost his heart at that moment. He didn’t know whether he was overjoyed or was shocked and chilled.
But now, he has passed the age when he should be impulsive as a teenager. If he takes one step forward, he will plunge Xie Zhaozhao into a place of eternal disaster, and will undoubtedly make his parents who are already too old to bear the stimulation die.
The evening breeze gradually became cooler, and the chill on his skin brought him back to his senses.The eyes staring at the photo were stained with a thin layer of sadness that could not be erased. His voice was low and he was mumbling to himself, as if he was asking the woman in the photo who had made his heart a mess, and he was also asking himself, “Zhaozhao, what should I do with you?”
