Chapter 26 Has My Sister Been Separated From Me?
He lowered his jaw, but didn't answer.

Yun Xi couldn't guess what was going on in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak.

There was silence for a while, except for the boiling water on the stove.

After a long time, he sighed softly, "Is my sister separated from me?"

Yun Xi raised his head suddenly, with unconcealable panic in his eyes, "Brother..."

She pursed her lips, "Why can't Yuan'er understand what brother means?"

"Sister has never been like this before."

He smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at her quietly, "I am in the academy, and my sister is the most worried about her. Every few days, she will come to see me by sending things. When I go on a long journey, no matter how late I come home , and my sister will be waiting for me under the eaves. Not to mention the crabapple cakes given in spring, and the fan pendants made by myself in summer..."

"People in the house say that although we are not biological brothers and sisters, we seem to be closer than the third sister. Because of this matter, the third sister is often bitter and jealous."

Yun Xi lowered her eyes, looked at the intricate and exquisite begonia embroidery on the skirt, and answered, "It was my brother who saved me from the cliff..."

Therefore, it is very reasonable to treat him well.

"Yes." His voice was as clear as ever, "My sister was kind to me before, so I was also kind to her. As long as my sister asks, I can satisfy her, including that day..."

He watched her face turn pale little by little, "Didn't my sister say that? You will forget everything and act as if nothing happened. I am still your respected good brother. But..."

He slowly got up and looked down at her.

The clear sunlight was cut off by him and fell in front of Yunxi, it was very dark and difficult to see.

He was not in a hurry, pressing step by step, "What is my sister doing now? Is she planning to stay far away from me? Or is she going to go on like this, until she gets married and leaves the house, and never sees me again?"

"No."

Yunxi looked panic-stricken, and shook his head repeatedly, "I never thought about having a relationship with my brother. I'm really just sick, and I didn't stop seeing my brother on purpose."

In a moment of desperation, she cried with tears in her eyes, and gently tugged at the corner of his sleeve, "Brother, brother Xingzhi...

She called him repeatedly, "Brother, don't be angry, I won't be like this again in the future."

After getting the answer he wanted, he smiled slightly, still the gentle and kind brother Xingzhi.

"Sister, don't cry." He squatted down and looked at her, gently brushing away her tears with his fingertips, and his voice was gentle, "It's my fault, I misunderstood my sister. Please don't be angry."

She didn't dare to be annoyed, sobbing and choking her tears, she went to tug on his sleeve again, "Is brother angry?"

"Not angry." He smiled and comforted her in a gentle voice, "How can you be willing to be angry with your sister."

That's how the matter was revealed.

Later when Xu Zhijian and the others came back, they saw their brother and sister sitting opposite each other, chatting and drinking tea, very happy.

So they all laughed, "Okay, tired of our feelings, we took advantage of this, and went to the forest to hunt wild deer under the scorching sun. It's better for them to just pick up ready-made ones."

At that time the venison had already been roasted, Yun Xi twisted the handkerchief and tore a small piece into his mouth, chewing carefully.

After hearing this, he just smiled and did not argue.

After that day, the two returned to their usual intimacy.

Occasionally, if you don't see each other for a long time due to the heavy homework in the academy, there will be letterheads left by the girl in the food box sent by the house.

Most of them are just a few lines of poems copied when they have nothing to do, let him see how they are written.

Sometimes I will talk about trivial matters at home.

Today the mansion is very safe, tomorrow my grandmother went to the Xiangji Temple to pray for her two grandchildren, Qiu Wei, and the next day my sister Shuang climbed the fence and was arrested, and my uncle was so angry that he went to the ancestral hall to ask for family law.

The tone was casual and ordinary, with a little playfulness of a girl, and she didn't say anything about herself.

Xie Heng saw it, and didn't pierce it. He slowly folded the letter and put it in the sandalwood box on the case.

In a blink of an eye, there was also a thin stack of letterheads in the box.
