The peninsula is like a shadow

Chapter 16
Sending Eri to school as usual, Li Yan felt like he was about to split in two. What Eri saw was a smiling and angry Nai Masayan, but the real Li Yan felt empty in his heart and disappeared from sight. Eri inside, with her hands on the steering wheel, didn't know where to go.

For a whole day, no one contacted him, but Li Yan always believed that Zhao Zhuxi would not break the promise. What a person like her said to someone like him was called a promise. She would never tease Eri like she did, and sometimes she would not break the promise after saying it. He didn't take it to heart, Li Yan was very panicked, and unknowingly drove to the door of the school. It was time for Eri to finish school. He hoped that Zhao Zhuxi would come later, and maybe he could have dinner with Eri.

Looking at the Mercedes-Benz waiting on the roadside, and then at Zhao Zhuxi standing in front of the car, Li Yan felt very cold. Even though the cotton-padded jacket was wrapped tightly around his body, Li Yan was still cold.

Eri always comes out last, because the security at the school gate has to wait for all the students to leave before handing over to class.Countless students passed by Li Yan, but Li Yan couldn't hear any sound at all, as if everyone in the world had disappeared. He stared closely at the students' coming, and it was almost time for Eri to come out.

From a distance, Eri must have spotted herself standing outside the school gate first.When Li Yan looked at her, her cheerful expression suddenly dropped, and she pretended not to see him and looked to the side. However, the way she deliberately lifted the hair beside her ears was obviously for her own benefit.

She always felt that she had grown up and would make such actions in front of her from time to time.She said it was the charm of an adult woman, but Li Yan couldn't tell it. He always thought about finding a place to buy some beautiful colorful hairpins for her during the day.

After all, she couldn't hold it back, turned around and glanced at herself secretly, then held her schoolbag strap with both hands and ran towards her.Li Yan wanted to open his arms like before, but he found that he couldn't do it at all.He was even roaring in his heart,

"Eri, run, don't come here!"

Eri stopped and bowed slightly to the security guard guarding the school gate, then tilted her head and jumped towards herself.Li Yan felt that his throat was so tight that he couldn't even speak.

"Eri, come here."

Zhao Zhuxi's voice was very charming. It was not loud, but Li Yan could hear it clearly. Li Yan also saw Eri's expression, so she must have heard it too.

Eri stopped and looked at Li Yan in front of her, the smile on her face disappearing little by little.She did not look back at the person who called her, but stared at Li Yan closely.

Li Yan didn't know what kind of eyes he was looking at Eri now, but Eri's eyes were praying to him like a stray puppy.She must have hoped that she would say something, but Li Yan felt as if he had been frozen.Not to mention speaking, he couldn't even move.

"Eri, it's my aunt. Come here~"

Eri still looked at him, and Li Yan found that Eri's hands were tightly clenching the strap of her schoolbag, and her eyes became a little angry.But she still didn't look back, still staring at herself closely.

Zhao Zhuxi walked over slowly, touched Eri's shoulder first, and found that Eri still didn't make any movement, so he simply walked to Eri and squatted down.

"Eri, since you've come to Korea, let's spend time with your aunt. You don't know how lonely my aunt is alone in Seoul. It's too cold outside, let's go home."

Zhao Zhuxi's voice was very gentle, but Eri was not moved at all.Looking past Zhao Zhuxi, he was still staring at Li Yan.Li Yan knew that Eri was angry. She was rarely really angry. The look in her eyes was slowly fading away. He looked at Li Yan and said slowly and calmly,
"Moving? To a good place? Is that so? Nai Masaen-san."

Hearing Eri's question without any emotion, Li Yan wanted to answer, but in the end he could only nod.Li Yan saw tears welling up in Eri's eyes instantly. Eri's silent crying was the most distressing way for Li Yan.Li Yan felt that he might take Eri away from Zhao Zhuxi at any time, but Li Yan knew that he shouldn't do that, for Eri's sake.

"Eri, you see my aunt is so anxious to wait for you that she forgot to put on her coat. It's so cold. Let's go quickly."

Zhao Zhuxi simply took Eri's hand and tried to guide Eri back to the Mercedes-Benz with her.But when she stood up, she realized that Eri was stubbornly standing there. Her hands were as cold as ice and she couldn't move them at all.

Zhao Zhuxi sighed and turned to look at Li Yan.

"Li Yanxi, are you going back to RB soon? When you come to Korea again when you are free, remember to come and see Eri."

"Thank you, thank you, I will."

Li Yan finally made a dry sound, and then he saw Eri shake off Zhao Zhuxi's hand and slowly walk towards him.All the way up to a very close distance.

Eri looked up at Li Yan,
"Squat down, you said, don't let me look up to others." Li Yan slowly squatted down. He heard the sound of his bones, but facing Eri, Li Yan seemed to hear the cry in the heart of the girl in front of him. .

Eri stretched out her hand to touch Li Yan's face. The cold hands made Li Yan's face immediately have a stress reaction. Eri felt all this and wiped it heavily on Li Yan's face.Then he grabbed Li Yan's collar with his little hands and straightened it up, and said softly in a trembling voice,

"Your name is not Li Yan, your name is Nai Masayan. You are my Onii-chan, Nai Masayan. You must remember it."

Li Yan watched the tears falling in clusters on Eri's face, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe it gently.Eri's little hand immediately pressed on Li Yan's hand,
"Onii-chan, do you feel it? My hands are so cold. In the past, you would hold them on your stomach to warm them up. I already knew you were lying, but I still want to believe you. Because I know you Because I will always turn lies into truth. Is it too difficult this time? Then I will forgive you once. Just this time, okay?"

Li Yan wanted to wipe away the tears that kept pouring out of Eri, but Eri's little hands pressed too hard.He didn't know how to answer. Eri was obviously just a little girl in his eyes, but he couldn't answer in the same way as a little girl, at least not this time. He couldn't say it.

Eri looked at the silent Li Yan and finally cried out.
"As promised, just this time, Onii-chan, I'm really not angry. I will grow up well, drink hot water, and I will carry medicine with me at all times. If I have a stomachache, I will take it in time. I I will pack my schoolbag and go to school to study obediently. Onii-chan, just this time, don’t lie to me next time, okay? Please promise me now, please.”

Li Yan heard Eri's aggrieved voice and hugged Eri tightly into his arms, letting Eri hit his chest and cry heartbreakingly.

Looking up at Zhao Zhuxi, Li Yan said hoarsely,

"Just 2 minutes, please give me 2 minutes."

Zhao Zhuxi said nothing, looked at Eri, nodded, turned around and left first.

When Li Yan saw Zhao Zhuxi leaving, he first gathered his little hands that were tightly grasping his collar and stuffed them into his cotton-padded jacket and placed it on his stomach. Then he took out a tissue and ignored Eri, still banging against him desperately. He pulled away a little and pulled Eri away. Wiped all the tears on his face.

"Eri, grow up well and remember what you just said."

"But you're not with me, Onii-chan, I don't know what to do."

Li Yan tried hard to control his emotions, held Eri's little face with both hands, nodded and said,

"Listen to me, Eri, you must grow up well. You will be like an aunt in the future, you know? You know what kind of person I envy the most, right? You know, you must become like that people."

Eri sniffed and nodded, then ran into Li Yan's arms again.His two small hands were still tightly holding the clothes on Li Yan's belly.

Li Yan has never been in love and doesn't know what love is, but now he feels like his heart is broken.This kind of pain is more unbearable than any previous injury. Every second that passes, a knife is inserted into my heart.

~~~
Eri followed her aunt and left in the silver Mercedes-Benz.Li Yan stood on the roadside and looked at the direction in which the Mercedes-Benz was leaving. He didn't know where he should go for a moment.

The school security guard who had been watching saw Li Yan's condition and slowly walked over and patted Li Yan's arm.

"If you want to be more open-minded, it's a good thing that the family finally found their child and is still a rich man who can afford to drive an imported car."

Hearing what the school security said, Li Yan nodded quickly and replied seriously,

"Yes, it's a good thing, it's a good thing."

Li Yan didn't even realize that he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
