Chapter 150 Qixi Extra: Just Met You (Happy Qixi Festival)
Chapter 150 Qixi Extra: I just met you (Happy Qixi!)
When she was very young, Lin Daiyu knew that her brother was not in good health.
Adults always think that children don't understand anything. In fact, she had already seen something strange at home through the expressions of her parents.
After moving to Yangzhou, her brother often fell ill. Although her mother didn't say anything, she would always worry about it when she was halfway through playing with her. She would get up to check on her brother.
The newborn brother was really ugly, with a wrinkled and red face.
Daiyu asked Lin Ruhai why her brother's face was so red. I still remember that Lin Ruhai smiled and held her on his lap and told his daughter that she was like this when she was born.
Because of this sentence, Daiyu looked in the mirror for a long time and couldn't believe that she would be so ugly.
The Lin family didn't have many relatives in Yangzhou, and it was the same in Gusu. I heard from my father that my grandfather had a few old friends before him. But after my grandfather passed away, they didn't keep in touch much.
After moving from the capital to Yangzhou, Daiyu felt as free as a bird in the sky without the nanny who controlled her.
There were always countless fun things in the new home. Ants in the corner, the bright moon by the window, a room that belonged to her, and a library that she could enter at will.
Every day when she waited for her father to come back, she would pester Lin Ruhai to teach her to read.
There were so many happy things. If only her younger brother could grow up quickly and play with her.
But the older her younger brother got, the more time he spent lying in bed.
Daiyu could see the sad faces of her parents, so she had to hide her thoughts.
During that time, the atmosphere at home was not very good. Until Dad suddenly said during dinner that he had a sister who was also in Yangzhou.
When Daiyu heard this, she was happy and surprised. It turned out that there were relatives in our family.
Jia explained to her: This aunt is the daughter of Dad's teacher.
Daiyu was still too young to understand the relationship here. She only knew that this aunt was really nice. Every time she came to her house, she would bring her gifts, tell her stories, and teach her to read and write.
Every time Daiyu remembered a sentence, her aunt would praise her. Until one day, when she was chatting with her mother, she said, "Yu'er is so smart in studying, even compared to her uncle's disciple, she is not worse."
"Aunt, is that person very good?"
"His name is Chen Heng, and he is as good as your father in the past."
"Then Yu'er will compete with him to win face for your father."
Since there was an aunt who often walked around the family, the adults smiled more. In order to make her parents happier, Daiyu, who was encouraged, studied harder.
In the following years, she also received news from the other party intermittently.
Lin Daiyu, who was secretly competing, had been waiting for an opportunity. She would read a lot of books, and then suddenly appear in front of the other party, giving this guy named Chen Heng a big scare.
Jia once teased her, "When you see him, you should call him brother."
I don't want to call him brother, even if he is better at studying than me, I won't call him brother.
If I call him brother, wouldn't it mean I'm giving up? I don't want to.
Young Daiyu thought so in her heart.
What should I call him when we meet?
She always thought that he would come to Yangzhou to study, but she couldn't come up with an answer.
But knowing which academy Chen Heng was in, she couldn't help but find Lin Ruhai and wanted to go out to study with him. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai really agreed.
Lin Daiyu, who was holding back her energy to go to school, was ready to lurk in the academy. Then she waited for an opportunity in secret, appeared in front of her opponent, and made him bow down with her literary talent.
But she waited for a tree of paper cranes.
The first time Jia saw a paper crane, it was Daiyu who hung it by her brother's bed. She once asked her daughter what kind of bird it was, and it was folded beautifully.
"Mother, this is a paper crane." Daiyu smiled brightly, "Some people say that if you make a wish to it, your wish will come true."
"This is just a lie for children." Jia couldn't help laughing, "What is your wish?"
"I hope my brother grows up well and can study with me."
"Okay." Jia smiled and held her daughter's hand, "Now mother hopes that this paper crane will be of some use."
That year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she finally met her opponent at home.
Daiyu also thought of a name for the other party.
"Brother."
"Hello, sister."
This person has dark skin and speaks politely, but his eyes can't help looking at herself. Could it be that he envies that I am whiter than him? Daiyu couldn't help thinking in her heart.
There are more and more paper cranes under the tree, and time seems to urge people to grow up little by little. When everything is getting better, bad things will emerge in the dark.
My brother's health seems to be getting worse and worse. Lin Ruhai and Jia don't allow Daiyu to go to the academy again. During those days, she could only hide in the room, folding paper cranes over and over again, and making wishes to them over and over again.
She hoped that someone could come to help her, and hoped that someone could save her brother.
Then, her brother appeared.
Chen Heng, who was exhausted from the journey, sat with her on the steps.
"Don't be afraid, this doctor is very powerful, and he is the master of my friend."
"Sister, have you lost weight? Haven't you eaten well recently?"
"Your friends are very worried about you, but unfortunately I came in a hurry and didn't convey any message for them."
Brother, why are you so fond of nagging like mother? Although she was happy in her heart, Daiyu couldn't help thinking.
These days, her parents didn't take care of their daughter, so she could only worry and be scared by herself. But listening to the other party's concerned nagging, even the stench of the other party's body that hadn't been washed for a few days became bearable.
"Brother."
"Ah?"
"I made a wish to the paper crane."
Chen Heng laughed awkwardly, "Oh, that is..."
Before the brother finished speaking, Lin Ruhai walked out of the house and held Chen Heng's shoulders, "Good boy, good boy."
Although the father didn't say much, Daiyu looked at him and knew that her brother's health would get better.
Brother, I want to make a wish to the paper crane again.
The next day, when Chen Heng was still sleeping, Daiyu, who got up early, took advantage of the adults' lack of time to look after him and sneaked into Chen Heng's room.
Looking at the sleeping person, she took out the newly folded paper crane from her arms. Putting the paper crane on Chen Heng's chest, watching the paper crane with its wings spread up and down, Daiyu couldn't help laughing.
She wanted to wait, wait for him to wake up, and then tell him the news that his brother was getting better.
She also wanted to tell him that she had a good meal this morning.
Daiyu suddenly felt that she had a lot to say to him.
This eager mood made her couldn't help but shout out: "Brother, brother."
She stretched out her finger and poked Chen Heng's sleeping face.
What responded to her was Chen Heng's turning over.
"Paper crane, you pressed the paper crane." Daiyu was really angry with the pig in front of her and cried. But no matter how she shook, the other party just didn't wake up.
She was so angry that she turned around in the room. But for some reason, when she sat back on the bed, she laughed again.
"Forget it, forget it, sleep well if you are tired." She supported her chin with her hand, "When you wake up, I will secretly take the paper crane away."
In this way, you won't know the wish I made for the paper crane.
It's outrageous. The singles in the group are clamoring to see the extra episode. Scratching my head, I love you so much, so of course I agree to it. I wish you a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, and may lovers finally get married.
