About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Sakakihara Suzu felt that her elder brother was a little too ridiculous.

How could you tell your father-in-law about your cheating?

Although he is not the real father-in-law yet, but he is almost there. Brother dares to tell about Zhixue. Isn't that courting death? !
This matter was really unacceptable, Sakakibara Suzu was stunned for a while before slowly opening her mouth.

"...Brother, did you really say it? Well, then, uncle, haha, what do you think, uncle?"

Sakakihara Suzu didn't know if there was something wrong with her head.

She actually felt that her uncle's tone on the phone was so calm that she was completely lifeless!

Can you not be angry when something like this happens?
Brother, he can be regarded as cheating on uncle's daughter.
Sure enough, after he asked this question, his uncle remained silent for a long time.

[Not too surprised. ]
"Eh?!" Sakakihara Suzu was extremely surprised.

[Ling, long before Xiao Le confessed to me, I vaguely knew what Xue Zhixue was thinking.Regarding Zhixue, I can clearly say that the current situation is not only your grandfather's fault, but also part of my responsibility. ]
".?" Sakakibara Suzu couldn't figure it out even more. Uncle could be blamed for this, isn't he a scumbag?
[It’s a long story about treating Zhixue, I told Xiao Le about it.But it's not that complicated
[The Tianhai family has always owed Yu Zhixue.

[She was born in Tianhai's family, but suffered prejudice from her family because of her mother's departure.She was born with flaws, and was not valued by the Tianhai family. Even her father did not value her existence in the past. ]
"."

Suzu Sakakibara listened quietly, holding her mobile phone, and glanced at Yuki Amami staring at the ceiling in a daze in the rest area.

[I was in England when Yuki was born, and Ruri and July were just born.For more than ten years, I had conflicts with your grandfather, and I have never been in touch with the family, so I only know the news of my mother's dystocia and death.

[I remember the first time I met Zhixue, it was the first time I met the old man after I returned to Japan after many years. I just came out of his study.It was midnight at that time, and Zhixue appeared barefoot on the carpet in the corridor outside the study.

[I stopped, and she stopped too, looking straight at me like that.

[I didn't know her at the time, so I thought she was a child from a collateral family who came to visit, so I asked who she was and why she was still here so late.

[Zhixue's first glance seemed to be a little bit wrong. When she faced my question, she just said dully that she was hungry and came out to find something to eat.

[At that time, I still had important things to do, so I didn't pay much attention to her. I just told her a direction, and then watched her leave in front of my eyes.I went out of the hall and came to the door. At this time, Uncle Ying had already driven the car to the door for me. I took advantage of the opportunity and asked which family the girl I met just now was from.

[You Uncle Ying looked at me with an indescribable look, and then euphemistically told me that that is my youngest sister, who is already ten years old. ]
Uncle stopped here.

Even though there was no special tone, Sakakibara Suzu felt that her uncle was laughing at herself.

This is not difficult to understand, uncle is Zhixue's only older brother.

However, as an older brother who is related by blood, he hasn't spoken a word to his younger sister, and they don't even recognize each other.

[Later, out of curiosity about this younger sister who hadn’t met for ten years, I asked you Uncle Ying to find out about her situation. The more we got to know, the more I felt that your grandfather was ruthless. It’s been more than ten years, and I only remembered Zhixue now. is his daughter.

[She has nothing, no classmates, no friends, no acquaintances, and even no real family.

[The family members also know that the old man doesn't like Zhixue, so they won't mention her existence in front of him.

[For more than ten years, she seems to have been forgotten by your grandfather in a corner. Every time, Uncle Ying takes her to the hospital for routine checkups.

[Ling, what do you think Yuki has ever owned? ]
"."

Sakakihara Suzu couldn't answer, or could not answer.

As the eldest lady of the Tianhai family, Yuki can have everything, but has nothing.

There are two extremes with myself when I was a child. My family has no money, but I have an elder brother and a mother.

Thinking about it carefully, even though it was a difficult time, it was actually quite happy.
There is a guy who will accompany me to be happy every day.
[Thus, after Zhixue came to this house for a while, I vaguely noticed that she would start to rely on Xiao Le very much. Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli have proved the precedent, so it is not surprising. ]
"The uncle's meaning to my brother's thoughts is—" Sakakibara Suzu was cautious and didn't dare to say too much.

But sure enough, my uncle was not without some thoughts, he seemed a little angry.

The tone became solemn.

[As an elder brother, I hope Zhixue can live happily.

[Similarly, as a father, I want my daughter to be happy.

[I failed to care for them, so naturally I cannot deprive them of the right to pursue happiness.

[As for Qijiu, he should pay corresponding responsibilities and fulfill the responsibilities of his identity. This is the fact he has guaranteed. If he really has some unrealistic ideas, Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli are not used. go to him.And under this premise, there is nothing wrong with giving Zhixue some love from the family. ]
"."

Good. Good fellow, how did my brother convince my uncle?
Obviously, he could still feel that his uncle was angry, but it was also suppressed anger.

Obviously something is preventing uncle from returning from vacation immediately to slap his elder brother.

Sakakibara Suzu doesn’t know what the elder brother said, but she is very curious
"Uncle, uncle, did my elder brother say something special?"

[]
[Your brother, let me and your mother try to trust him. ]
"T-Trust him?"

[Yes, believe him, believe that he can handle the relationship between several people, so that everyone can have a result that can be recognized.And he also made a promise to us that if he fails to do so, he will jump into Tokyo Bay without us dealing with his affairs. ]
The call with my uncle is over.

Although she failed to achieve the purpose of using her uncle to make several people interact, Sakakibara Suzu felt that she saw her brother's actions from another angle.
He said that it can handle the relationship of several people.

But in the end, how to deal with it?

Sakakibara Suzu put down her phone and stared at Amami Yuki who was sitting in the rest area, puzzled.

*
The night wind in the early morning of summer is humid and cold.

Standing on the edge of Tokyo Bay, looking at the neon-lighted ferry on the bay, even Tianhai Qimingyue herself couldn't understand why she came to this place after school.

Greet the sea breeze with your cheeks, and feel the vastness and prosperity of the border between the sea and the city with your floating hair.

The reflection of the city shines on the river, like glass.

There was movement from the phone.

Tianhai Qimingyue didn't need to look to know that it was her sister asking where she was again.

Not only did he not go to her basketball training today, but he also sneaked out while she was taking a shower, without telling her in advance.

It's no wonder my sister isn't worried.

Speaking of which, I hardly talked to my sister today, did I?
why?
Tianhai Qimingyue thought about it in her heart, and in the end she could only blame the answer on the fact that her sister's current thinking was different from her own.

Because of the divergence of ideas, Tianhai Qimingyue felt that even her sister could hardly understand how she felt in her heart now.

She hugged her arms that were somewhat cooled by the sea breeze, looked at the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, and watched the sightseeing boats cruising above for a while. Then, she stepped over the guardrail in a mysterious way and walked towards the edge of the bay.

Tianhai Qimingyue came to the top of the embankment, squatted down, hugged her legs, lowered her head, and looked towards the sea.

She stared at her ups and downs reflection in the bay, at her face blurred by the night wind on the water, at her curving face.

Is it cold. Sea water?
How would it feel if you plunged in?
In recent years, the treatment effect of Tokyo Bay has not been very good. There should be a lot of pollutants from chemical plants in the seawater, right?

Heh, if you die inside, I'm afraid it will be ugly even if you die
However, death is dead, and there is no need to care about the appearance after death.

Why should the afterlife matter so much?

Tianhai Qimingyue squatted on the beach and gradually calmed down, but the wind kept ringing in her ears along with the sound of the tide returning.She felt the wind and the movement of the sightseeing boats on the bay. She didn't know what she should do, and what goal she should live with in the future. This hard-to-see future reminded her of the past. The appearance of her sister being abandoned by her mother.

This is probably the feeling of being abandoned by someone you trust.
"Here, take it, I just bought it."

"."

Tianhai Qimingyue hugged her legs and turned her head in hesitation.

Some guy who shouldn't be here has appeared beside him at an inopportune time.

And he sat down on the embankment with his legs hanging outside, holding the sausage in a biodegradable plastic box that was handed out to him.
Tianhai Qimingyue first glanced at the object in his hand, and then looked at Sakakihara Raku's side face gazing across the bay.

His hair was blown by the sea breeze, as if he was feeling emotional.

"Student Tianhai Qimingyue, the scenery here is not bad, how did you find this place?"

"Why are you here."

Sakakihara Rakuzen pretended not to hear, he put the disposable lunch box between the two of them, and continued to eat the unfinished sausage in his hand.

While eating, he admired the night view of the bay and answered irrelevant questions:
"Well, this should be the kind of niche attraction that no one has discovered. No, it should be said that it belongs to the feeling of a 'secret base' among children, and it only belongs to the two of us."

Tianhai Qimingyue hugged her legs, her expression was dissatisfied, but her tone was normal, "I'm asking you something."

"Speaking of which, is this a place we discovered together? There are sea breezes, cities, neon lights, and you can see the Linhai Bridge not far away."

"Sakakihara-san."

"The beauty is very beautiful, and it really feels like a good place to rest in peace, etc., did I say something wrong, Tianhai Qimingyue, you are squatting here alone, doesn't that mean—"

Ugh.
A certain person talked to himself, and his shameless attitude made Tianhai Qimingyue helpless.

"You are simply thinking too much, thinking that I will completely deny my value because of certain things? Wrong, I am Tianhai Qimingyue, I don't need someone, even if I am alone, I can live as a matter of course, And live better."

"Of course."

Sakakibara nodded earnestly in front of the bay, "You are Qimingyue. Is there anything you can't do? Is there anything you can't do? You are so good. When you are playing, you are trying to restrain yourself. When others are enjoying happiness, you are trying to improve yourself. Who can't find someone as good and beautiful as you?
"So, student Qi Mingyue, it doesn't matter whether you have someone or not."

"." Tianhai Qimingyue didn't know how to answer this guy's words.

Sakakihara Raku put the grilled sausage bamboo stick in his hand into his disposable box, stood up on one foot, put his hands on his knees, and said softly while enjoying the sea breeze:
"I think that someone actually understands that Qi Mingyue has long been able to be independent, and has long been able to ignore someone's existence at all. The reason why she still cares is actually because some things in her childhood were restraining her. She regards that shadow as a lifetime longing, and she is willing to give absolute trust to it.

"But once that shadow overlaps with someone now, and she is deceived by someone again, she will definitely deny without hesitation that someone is no longer the same as before."

Sakakibara turned her head, looked at Tianhai Qimingyue, and said with a smile:
"Actually, didn't Qi Mingyue have been able to run far away?"

".You think I don't want to? Now, there is nothing in you that I can trust."

"July."

"Pay attention to your identity, Sakakihara-san. First of all, we only have a normal relationship now. Secondly, you suddenly appeared here. I have reason to doubt your purpose."

Tianhai Qimingyue's indifference made Sakakihara feel that she was different from before.

And when she spoke, she stood up directly, obviously not wanting to have close contact with herself.

Sakakihara saw this and knew that she was really angry and disappointed in herself.

"It was Liuli who called me here."

".what?"

"Liuli said that you disappeared suddenly in the middle of the night. She searched for a long time and contacted you for a long time. You didn't reply and she could only ask me to help you find you."

".Then you came out to find me in the early morning?"

"Otherwise?" Sakakihara asked back.

"hypocritically."

"Why is this fake? You disappeared, and Liuli asked me to help you find you, so I came out to look for you? Not only me, but Ling and Zhixue also came out to look for you."

"hypocritically."

"July, I didn't lie at all about my concern for you."

"hypocritically."

Tianhai Qimingyue was very unhappy, and had no trust in this guy at all, "Did you forget what you said not long ago?"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said. I must also be responsible for Zhixue's matter."

"Why do you say that you should be responsible for yourself? Shouldn't you be responsible for me and my sister?"

Rarely, Tianhai Qimingyue raised her voice.

Sakakihara didn't want to provoke her, so she lowered her voice and said:
"I will also be responsible to you and Liuli."

".But it's a pity that someone didn't make it."

"Listen to me first, July. I know you can't trust me, but please listen to me. Don't you know the matter between me and Zhixue? If I leave Zhixue in the hospital Regardless, what will happen to Zhixue? Her illness has reached a very serious level."

"She can be sent to her aunt's house after her treatment."

"And then? Do you think that after Zhixue goes to her sister's house, Qiyue will be fine? Don't forget, Qiyue, who used to look down on Zhixue. Her fourth sister's family also has a very tempered son. July Do you think Zhixue will be fine once you send it back?"

"That's better than staying by your side. Her pain to you is only temporary, and she will soon forget it."

Sakakihara shook her head: "But what is the fact? The fact is that Zhixue has forgotten everything, but she has not forgotten me, and she has been expecting me to visit her. She treats her every day and takes medicine every day. Make her happy by saying that I will go to see her.

"Also, why can you say that Zhixue is a temporary relationship, and you haven't chased a certain shadow for more than ten years in July, why do you think Yuki will forget it so easily?"

Tianhai Qimingyue frowned, "Isn't that a good thing you did? Why do you care so much about others?"

"That's why I'm responsible."

Sakakihara Raku's expression suddenly became serious:

"Don't forget, July, I did such a good thing to a little girl under the bus platform more than ten years ago."

"."

During the slightly stunned pause of Tianhai Qimingyue, Sakakihara continued to say seriously:
"July, if I was the kind of person who would not save me, then I would not choose to say hello to the little girl who fell down that day, and I would never take care of you, Qi Mingyue, before that." Feel the July and you can recall the memories well. Is the snow in your past and present the same situation?
"July, as you said, you have to be responsible for my own actions. Since I have made mistakes, I have to take corresponding responsibilities. Could it be that before July, let me be myself, let me put myself and Sakakihara in this If people follow through to the end, it is also a lie to lie to me? Aren't you also lying to me?"

Both fell silent.

Sakakihara didn't want to quarrel with Qiyue.

July is not very rational now.
Taking advantage of the surrounding environment to calm down, Sakakihara said to her again:

"July, Zhixue has been blaming herself and blaming herself for what she thinks in her heart. When she sees us quarreling, she will think it is her own fault. Don't you also like Zhixue? You She also wrote in her handbook that if you have trouble, you can come to sister Qiyue. So, don't avoid me deliberately, how about it? "

Tianhai Qimingyue took a deep breath, folded her hands on her chest, "...I'm a little messed up."

"I know."

"Let me tell you, I have no intention of forgiving you."

"no problem."

"As for the things at school, forget it. I don't bother to avoid you anymore. Since I don't care about it, I just treat you as a passerby at school."

"Of course."

Tianhai Qimingyue has no intention of continuing, "That's it for today, and I don't want to say anything more. Thank you for coming out to find me in the early morning today."

"What about basketball practice? You won't hide from Zhixue and me in July, will you?"

"I do what I say."

Watching Tianhai Qimingyue go back, and her unusually lonely back in the night wind, Sakakibara let out a sigh of relief. He knew that persuading Qiyue was a success, but not yet completely successful.

As for the grilled sausage that was given to her just now, it seemed that she was the only one who ate it.
