About my hopeless brother and sister

"You...you promise?"

I looked at Song Yixin dumbfounded. Song Yixin's promise to do this should have been good news to me and the ending I wanted. But to say yes without so much as a bump in the road shocked me a little.

"What's wrong? I thought you came to me for help, I said yes, why are you so shocked, is it better if I say no?"

Song Yixin laughed teasingly, then said, "Didn't I say that? I'll be there for you, and if you're tired, I'll let you rest and rest, and if you need someone to help you, then I'll definitely help you. No matter what, Qin Feng, I'll help you, and your sister." Her hand lifted up, standing up and leaning over to touch my head, she smiled and said, "You've worked very hard, Qin Feng. Really, it's been hard. So, don't worry about here. I'll take good care of my sister, so don't worry."

I lowered my head, allowing Song Yixin's warm hand to gently caress my head. Obviously the same age as me, obviously no different from me, but her hand was exceptionally warm and reassuring. I didn't know how I should thank her, and at this moment, the only thing I could do was to say.

"Thank you, Song Yixin."

"You're welcome."

She withdrew her body, patted her thigh, looked at me with a fawning smile, and said, "Today, you need a good rest, right?"

"...Hmm."

By the time I got home from school, it was already dusk. I opened the door to my room and breathed in the cold, unfamiliar air.

How long has it been, how long has it been since I've been back here? Does this place still feel like home to me? After taking care of my sister, this place has basically lost all purpose except for me sleeping and cooking. Can this still be considered home? Rather, let's say this is just a supply stop for me for a short time to replenish. It takes a family to be considered home, but my family was gone before, and only later and now here has it become home again.

I went to the bedroom where my sister was sitting on the bed, headphones on. She couldn't see anything and had lost almost all of her entertainment. All that's left are e-books and songs, so maybe I should make my sister learn Braille later. And buy some books for the blind to read, maybe my sister will be able to write books or something.

It took a whole year for my sister to recover alone, and the color of her scars finally stopped being so scary, but they were still unbearable to look at. The dense scars are hideous, I don't know when they will go away, no, I should say I know, that is, they will never go away. My sister's scars would not recover, they would only fade, my sister's eyes would never return, they would only remain in darkness forever.

I don't know how painful it is to lose an eye after a brief moment, but I do know how devastating the loss of sight can be to a person. But I never saw my sister sad, and she never seemed to care about that. She never cried for herself in front of me.

She lost everything a young girl can lose, but never complained in front of me, she couldn't smile before because of her wounds, but after she was able to smile, she always had a smile on her lips. All I could see was usually a smile from her.

Except for one time when I saw her gently touch the scars on her face and cry silently.

She doesn't cry in front of me. Maybe it's her sense of duty as a sister, maybe she still wants to protect me even though she's become like this, just like she promised not to cry in front of me before. It's obvious that she's become like this, that I've taken care of her. But, she is still like this.

She can't see my tears, so I can cry in front of her all I want. But she knows I can see her tears, so she will never cry.

Fate, it's still the same cruelty.

A sister who has become like this, but still, misses me.

I went to the bedside and gently touched her head, my sister froze and took off her headphones. Turned to me, smiled and said, "Brother is back ah, what's going out today, what's the matter?"

I nodded and then realized that my sister couldn't see me nodding at all, I laughed bitterly at the fact that I always forget the fact that she can't see anything, is this my selective forgetfulness or am I simply unwilling to accept that fact? My communication skills are gradually rising now, just because I have to talk to my sister, I guess.

"Well, Sister, I have something to tell you."

I got down on one knee and took my sister's hand, gently touching the scar on her hand and said.

My sister tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter? It's important to be so serious, isn't it."

"Well, sister, in a little while, I'll be leaving the country. What happens after that..."

"Ahhh, I know I know." My sister interrupted me, touched my head and said with a smile, "Brother go out alone, be safe ah, even if it's a boy don't go out at night. Also take care of your body, the food over there is different from here. It's hard to meet people like you, isn't it? Take good care of yourself over there, and give your sister a call if you have time."

"No, sis, I wanted to say that I found someone else to take care of you." I interrupted my sister, I couldn't listen any longer, she hadn't thought about herself until now, she was worried about me, she hadn't thought about how she was going to live with a burned out blind man, she was worried about whether I would be able to live abroad.

I would cry if I listened any longer.

"Oh? Who did you call? I don't need to be taken care of, I've figured out the structure of the house, and anyway I've lived here for a long time, it's okay."

"I've got Song Yixin to help you, if you need anything, just tell Yixin, she'll take care of you. If you have anything more to say to me...I..."

Cut.....

I simply can't....

I'm over there, and I can't help my sister at all with anything....

"It's okay, I'll be fine, brother take care of yourself over there. Ah right by the way, help me buy Dior cosmetics over there! It's a bit hard on my sister at home not to bring back some cosmetics after I go abroad!"

My sister looked at me with a smile, and I looked at the scars that were entrenched on her face, and my throat tightened as I watched her smile. Obviously...my sister is already like this, but...still like this...if my sister was normal looking, I'd buy her as much makeup as I want, but now my sister, I touch When you get to the cosmetics, you get a twinge of pain.

"That's it then, ah brother always feels a little bad when I have to go. Brother, help me up a bit, I'm going to take a shower."

My sister tentatively reached out and hugged my neck, smiling.

I was stunned, hugged my sister, looked at her, and asked, "Sister you can't take a bath like this, I'll wipe your body later." "It's fine, it's fine, how can I let my brother look at my body when I'm a girl anyway? Hehe, no matter how weak I am, I can still do the bath. Just put the water on for me, brother."

My sister was picked up by me, but as soon as her feet touched the floor, her legs went limp and she sat on the edge of the bed. I looked at my sister worriedly, but my sister's face was smiling but I could tell it was very determined. Just like that night, the day after my confession with Qin Lan, she had been in tears and wouldn't allow me to touch her.

That should be considered my betrayal.

I walked into the bathroom and put the water on, looking at the foggy bathroom, I rubbed my eyes hard and looked at my blurred reflection, not knowing how hard I felt.

"Sis, I've put the water on, be careful, the floor is slippery."

I stepped out of the bathroom and saw my sister holding onto the wall and moving a little to the bathroom door. I walked over to her and held her and said.

"Good."

My sister nodded and said, "Well, please brother bring the clothes in later, and make sure not to come in oh."

"It's not like you used to be."

"You used to be my brother, but now you're Lan Lan's boyfriend."

My sister laughed, reached out and pushed open the bathroom door and walked in. I looked at the closed door, so worried about my sister inside. But I couldn't go in yet. Ever since I've been with Qin Lan, my sister basically doesn't do anything with me that she used to. I hated it before, but now, I miss it a little bit again.

"Tootie..."

I picked up my phone and it was a text from Qin Lan, "Did you go out today? Have you decided on a trip abroad? What day? I'll go keep you company, anyway, I don't know when I'll see you next."

See me...is it to do that kind of thing again...I laughed bitterly, my fingers skipped a beat and replied "Well, out, I got Song Yixin to take care of my sister, going abroad is set, leaving next month, I'll tell then You."

There was the sound of water coming from inside the bathroom behind me, it looked like my sister had found the shower, it was okay, my sister was still very familiar with the bathroom, don't worry.

I smiled and waited for a reply to my text message from the other side, what was Qin Lan doing, maybe she was playing on the computer, or maybe she was just bored and thinking of me, whatever, Qin Lan, was still thinking of me.

"Um, that's good. By the way, how's your sister?"

"Still..."

There was a sudden loud bang behind me, the muffled sound of something hitting the floor, and I reflexively shrugged off my phone and pulled the door open. A damp heat gushed out, filling my eyes, and I riffled through the mist with a grumpy shout.

"Sister! Sister! Are you okay? What's happening?!"

On the floor was a running shower of hot water, boiling hot air gushing out with the water, which at a glance was already at its highest temperature. A head of dark hair swung with the current, like seaweed boiled up by the hot water. My sister was lying on her side, reaching out and gripping the tub tightly.

I ran over and turned off the water, then quickly picked up my sister, she doesn't want to get burned if she's already burned! My fault, my fault, my fault is all mine! I shouldn't have left my sister alone to take a bath. She couldn't have done it!
