"Brother, if you have any questions, just ask them directly. Why do you have to do this?"
"Little sister, please listen to my brother's explanation."
"Brother!"
"Xuan'er, tell me."
Liu Xuan held the wine bag in her hand and signaled again.
"Brother, please."
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Xuan complicatedly, took the wine bag from her and sighed softly.
"Oh, drink for my brother, drink for my brother."
"Brother, when Xuan'er was still young, you loved Xuan'er the most.
Back then, whenever you had some free time, brother, you would play with Xuan'er.
When Xuan'er gets tired of playing, you will tell Xuan'er stories to make me happy.
Although the stories you told Xuan'er, brother, are so absurd and interesting now that I think about them, there is no trace of logic at all.
But every time Xuan'er thinks back to the stories you told me, big brother, she still feels very happy.
】
What makes my little sister happy is not how interesting the stories you told me back then were.
It's because those stories contain the best memories of our younger days as brothers and sisters.
The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
Time flies by so fast.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed.
More than twenty years, more than twenty years.
Brother, you are already so old. Xuan'er, a little girl back then, is now almost thirty years old.
More than twenty years have passed, so much time has passed.
However, when the younger sister recalls the scene from that year, she still vividly remembers it.
I just don’t know, brother, do you still remember? "
Young Master Liu drank the wine silently and nodded sadly.
"Remember, little sister, you remember it, how can you not remember it as a brother.
Hahahahaha, you were just a silly girl at that time. "
Liu Xuan nodded slightly, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"Hehehe, it turns out that big brother, like little sister, you still remember those past events that have passed a long time ago!
very nice! very nice!
However, I don’t know when it started.
We, brother and sister, seem to have become a little distant, and we are no longer as close as we were back then.
Even when you speak, you have to be careful and go around in circles.
Sometimes when I have nothing to do, my little sister can't help but go back and make guesses.
Why have we, brother and sister, reached this point today?
After all, it’s your eldest brother who has changed? Or have I, Xuan'er, changed?
It's a pity that I have been thinking about this problem for many years, but in the end I haven't come to a conclusion.
Maybe it’s you, big brother, who has changed, or maybe it’s me, little sister.
It's also possible that both of us have changed. "
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and patted Liu Xuan's shoulder.
"Little sister, have you ever thought about it, in fact, neither of us, brother and sister, have changed."
Liu Xuan suddenly turned her head to look at Young Master Liu: "Hasn't it changed?"
"Yes, nothing has changed."
“Hehehe, maybe.
Sometimes, little sister, I really can’t figure it out.
Like, right now.
Little sister, I really can’t figure it out. Is there anything that we, brother and sister, can’t talk about directly?
Brother, if you want to ask my little sister something, just ask directly.
Little sister, if I knew, I would naturally tell you everything.
On the contrary, it is the little girl who will ask you what you want.
I think, big brother, you will definitely tell me everything you know about me. "
As Liu Xuan spoke, she directly raised her jade hand to take the wine bag in Young Master Liu's hand, opened her red lips and took a big sip of the wine.
Liu Da rarely saw this situation and quickly stretched out his hand to tug her sleeve.
"Xuan'er, drink slowly, don't choke."
Liu Xuan nodded her head gently a few times, wiped the wine from her lips with her fingers, and looked at the bright moon in the night sky with melancholy in her pretty eyes.
"Hey, eldest brother, you used to love my little sister the most.
But, why has it become like this now?
Brother, tell me, why did everything so good turn into this? "
As Liu Xuan spoke, two lines of tears quietly fell from her pretty eyes.
As for why these two lines of tears were shed, she herself couldn't explain.
It seemed that it just flowed out without any warning and inexplicably.
Seeing this, Liu Dasha patted Liu Xuan's shoulder with a melancholy expression, sighed and put the wine bag into her hand.
"Oh, little sister."
"Hey, brother?"
Liu Mingzhi took a long breath and walked forward slowly, facing the moonlight and the gentle breeze.
Liu Xuan took a deep breath, wiped the tears on her cheeks with her sleeves, and followed slowly.
Liu Mingzhi looked back at the younger sister Liu Xuan who had followed him. He lit a pot of shredded tobacco familiarly and took a few puffs of smoke.
"Xuan'er."
"Why."
"My dear little sister, there are some words that I have been keeping in my heart for many years.
I don't know who to tell, let alone how to tell others. "
Liu Xuan silently nodded her head a few times and said softly: "Brother, if my guess is correct, your concern should be related to sister Qingxin...sister-in-law Qingxin.
Right? "
When Young Master Liu heard his younger sister Liu Xuan's sudden change of address, he chuckled and shook his head.
"Silly girl, my brother and Qingxin girl are not really married yet.
You are a few years older than her, so it is reasonable to call her Qingxin sister. "
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, no, it's more appropriate for me to call her sister-in-law Qingxin.
Brother, you have to know that habits are harder to change.
What if one day, she really becomes my little sister and my sister-in-law.
It would be embarrassing if I called her sister again out of habit. "
“Hahaha, whatever you want.
As long as you get along with Qingxin girl, you can call her whatever you want. "
"Yeah, little sister, I understand."
Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of the dry cigarette, frowned slightly and let out a long breath.
"Little sister, now that the matter is over, how about we, brother and sister, have a frank chat with each other and open our hearts?"
Seeing the serious look on Mr. Liu's face, Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded her head a few times.
"What about 'Ren Qingxin'?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded without hesitation.
"Of course!"
"Okay, let's just talk. I wonder, brother, how do you want to talk?"
"Little sister, I have been sitting in that position for more than seven years.
However, even though more than seven years have passed.
The incident involving Ren Qingxin back then is still a thorn in my heart.
This thorn has troubled my brother and me for seven years. "
Liu Xuantan took a sip of wine with her mouth slightly open, and silently turned her head to look at Young Master Liu.
"Brother, you are worried that sister-in-law Qingxin will become like the Ren Qingxin from back then..."
Before Liu Xuan could finish her words, Young Master Liu interrupted her.
"No!"
Liu Xuan's face was slightly startled, and she frowned involuntarily.
"Huh? Big brother?"
Young Master Liu took a long puff of dry cigarette and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Little sister, I know very well what the Qingxin girl looks like now.
Brother, I will naturally wait and see what she will become in the future.
Now, Brother Wei only wants to know one thing.
That is, who is the so-called demon queen Ren Qingxin who accompanied the child Li Ye back then?
What is her true identity?
Apart from this one thing, I am not interested in anything. "
Liu Xuan nodded lightly, smiled and raised the wine bag towards her mouth.
"So, the topic goes back to the original question."
Young Master Liu nodded with a smile and said with a noncommittal chuckle: "Hahaha, you can say that."
Liu Xuan lightly shrugged her shoulders a few times, smiled and nodded to Young Master Liu.
"Hehehe, okay, big brother, just go ahead and ask."
Seeing the calm expression on his younger sister, Mr. Liu's heart tightened and his expression suddenly became hesitant.
He couldn't help but feel his heart twitch when he saw Liu Xuan's face with the corners of her lips slightly raised and her eyes smiling.
"Little sister, I...as a brother...big brother, I..."
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Xuan hesitantly. In addition to some hesitation, the expression on his face was also mixed with a bit of confusion.
That question was clearly on his lips and should have been blurted out.
At this moment, I couldn't say anything.
Seeing her eldest brother's complex expression and hesitant expression, Liu Xuan gently shook the wine bag in her hand, smiled sweetly and handed the wine bag to Young Master Liu.
“Brother, have a drink.
After the wine enters the throat, many words can be said. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded sadly, raised his hand and took the wine bag into his hand.
"OK."
"By the way, there's not much drink left. Brother, you have to drink less and leave some for me."
"Hahaha, stinky girl, as soon as we get out of the garden, my eldest brother will ask someone to refill your drink.
In our wine cellar, my eldest brother, I don’t have enough old wine.
At that time, Xuan'er, you can drink whatever wine you want.
Even if you empty out my wine cellar, big brother, there will be no problem. "
Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows and nodded with a slight smile.
"That's pretty much it. Then you can drink it."
After a few gulps of wine went down his throat, the tangled look on Young Master Liu's face gradually calmed down.
Young Master Liu took a deep breath of alcohol and turned to look at Liu Xuan.
"Hu-Xuan'er."
"Hey, brother?"
"Xuan'er, is that you?"
Liu Xuan looked at Young Master Liu calmly, smiled and shook her head.
"Brother, no!"
Hearing the answer given by his little sister, Young Master Liu suddenly trembled and his body tightened violently.
"No...no...isn't it?"
"Yes, no!"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Xuan's calm eyes and took a puff of dry cigarette. His eyes were filled with excitement and uncertainty.
"Really?"
Liu Xuan raised her hand to fan the lingering smoke exhaled by her elder brother, looked at Young Master Liu solemnly, smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, really."
Seeing the serious expression on his younger sister's face, Young Master Liu took a deep breath, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
More than seven years, more than seven years.
The thorn in my heart, the burden weighing on my heart.
Now, I am finally relieved.
Thinking of this, Young Master Liu couldn't help but laugh a few times, and ecstatically raised the wine bag and put it towards his mouth.
"Hahaha, hahaha, okay! Okay!"
The pressure that had accumulated in Young Master Liu's heart for a long time was finally completely released at this moment.
"That's great, that's great."
"Brother."
Young Master Liu forcibly controlled the smile on his face and looked at Liu Xuan with a smile.
"Hey, little sister, tell me."
"Brother, are you so happy?"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm happy, of course I'm happy for you, brother.
Xuan'er, you are still young and there are some things you don't understand. "
As Young Master Liu spoke, he drank the rest of the wine in the wine bag in one breath.
Then, he grabbed Liu Xuan's wrist and walked quickly towards the exit of the garden.
"Xuan'er, let's go, let's go quickly. As soon as Brother Wei comes out of the garden, Brother Wei will have someone refill your drink right away.
No, no, no, we, brother and sister, will go to the wine cellar in the backyard together.
What kind of drink do you want to drink? Brother, I will prepare it for you personally. "
Seeing her eldest brother's ecstatic reaction, Liu Xuan gently shook her head.
"Brother."
"Hey, hey, Xuan'er, say it, Xuan'er, say it, brother, listen!"
"Brother, maybe my little sister really doesn't understand your thoughts and doesn't know what you are thinking about.
However, your reaction is a little too intense, right? "
Hearing this, Young Master Liu laughed and looked back at Liu Xuan.
"Hahaha, hahaha, Xuan'er, good little sister, I'm so happy for my brother.
Brother, I am so happy, you know? "
Liu Xuan's pretty face froze, and she nodded with a strange expression.
"Uh! Okay, brother, just be happy."
"It's necessary, of course I'm happy for my brother.
We brothers and sisters went to the wine cellar and took out more than a dozen jars of fine wine at once.
Then, let's go back to the pavilion to find the old man, mother, and your sisters-in-law.
For the sake of brother, I no longer go to the study to think about other things.
Our family must get drunk tonight before resting. "
Hearing Young Master Liu's excited words, Liu Xuan's pretty face was startled, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Brother, that's not the case, is it?"
"Hey, stinky girl, how come it's not like this?
Brother, I'm happy today. We have to get drunk before we can rest. "
Liu Xuan shook her head gently and nodded with a wry smile.
"Okay, little sister, I still say the same thing. Brother, just be happy."
Young Master Liu knocked out the ashes in the smoke pot directly under his feet, and pulled Liu Xuan quickly towards the outside of the garden.
"Xuan'er, come on, let's go quickly."
"Brother Stinky, you are holding my wrist right now. Little sister, I would like to go slower. Am I too slow?"
As time passed, Young Master Liu's excitement gradually calmed down.
However, when the brother and sister were about to walk out of the garden, Young Master Liu suddenly stopped.
"Hey, brother, why don't you leave?"
The smile on Young Master Liu's face suddenly disappeared, and he took a deep breath with a slight frown.
"Brother?"
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at Liu Xuan, his face suddenly became nervous.
"Little sister."
"Hey, brother?"
"Little sister, since that person is not you, is it her?"
