Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

The pink lips moved several times, but no words were said.

"Sit on the bed first. The ground is cold and you'll easily catch a cold if you don't wear shoes." Li Mo was extremely patient and behaved very kindly.

Bronya wasn't beside her, most likely asleep.

Seele found him in the middle of the night without Bronya's knowledge. There must be something that Bronya couldn't know.

But even Bronya can't know, so why does Seele think he can know?

Does Seele think that she is closer to him than her sister Bronya, whom she grew up with, even though she has only known him for a day?

Although I do behave like a gentle big brother next door.

"Brother, can I sit on your lap?"

Xier took a deep breath, raised her head, mustered up her courage, and made a very strange request as seriously and solemnly as if she was stepping into a battlefield.

This name seems somewhat natural and familiar.

"Of course." Li Mo was stunned for two seconds, then patted his thigh. He didn't think the request was excessive.

The children in the orphanage usually called him Brother Li Mo, so they were stunned when Xier called him "brother".

"Ok!"

Xier sat gently on Li Mo's legs, her bare little feet swaying slightly in the air.

"Brother, can I read this book?"

Xier pointed to the fairy tale book on the table and asked cautiously.

Li Mo answered without hesitation: "No problem."

The reason is very simple. Since he speculated that Seele and Kanagawa Kimu are very likely the same person, then Seele will definitely show a different expression when reading the book he wrote.

Compared to the mysterious and dangerous ghost on the fourth floor, the living Xier in front of him is more worthy of exploration and there is no danger to his life.

Xier picked up the fairy tale book, turned to the title page and looked at the name on it hesitantly: "Brother, I don't understand."

Li Mo quickly asked, "Xi'er doesn't recognize the Chinese language?"

Xier nodded and responded naturally: "Well, Cocolia's mother didn't teach me."

"..."

Li Mo observed Xier's every move and it didn't feel like she was acting.

"Is that so? Then I'll read it to you. But Xi'er, are you sure you want to listen? This book tells a very cruel story."

"Has brother seen it?" Xier asked back.

Li Mo didn't lie: "Yeah, I've seen it many times."

In order to get clues about the source of the weirdness in the story, Li Mo carefully considered every word in the dark fairy tale.

"Since the story is so cruel, why should I read it again... and again? Wouldn't it be better to read a better story without the tragedy? Then, I wouldn't be sad because of the cruelty of the story..."

Li Mo let out a long sigh and touched Xier's head.

Xier adjusted her posture obediently, allowing Li Mo to caress her at a more comfortable angle.

Li Mo felt quite emotional in his heart, sister, there is something behind your words, promise me that you won’t be a riddle man like that woman Irene, okay?

Although he complained, Li Mo did not express his complaints out loud.

"Well, maybe it's because the adult world isn't perfect, and reading those perfect fairy tales makes me feel tired and childish."

"The story of this book is quite novel. From my perspective, it tells a complete tragedy. Even if the protagonist knows everything, the tragedy cannot be changed. This book is such a not-so-good story. But it can bring people a sense of 'tragic comedy.'"

"It's a kind of 'painful joy'. By feeling the same pain as the characters in the tragedy and crying for them, we can truly discover the shining points of humanity in the story - even if they are gone."

"It destroys things of beautiful value in front of people, warning them how to weigh choices in reality, constantly groping through regret and remorse to find the 'option' that best suits them, even if it brings regret, even if it leaves behind irreparable regret."

Li Mo smiled, he didn't mean to tell Xier this.

He was just a little lonely and wanted to express his thoughts.

Li Mo was very clear that he had obviously changed a lot, and he would obviously keep such things to himself.

"Since you're interested, I'll read it all to you. It's not a long story, so it won't take long."

Li Mo picked up the storybook, glanced over the title page, and turned to the first page.

Xier can also see the words on the book.

During the long night, Li Mo quickly finished telling the story in the book, but for Xier's physical and mental consideration, Li Mo deliberately deleted some bloody and violent words.

By the time the story was finished, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Xier fell asleep in his arms, her chest rising and falling slightly, her small nose pink and tender, and she exhaled a faint breath.

"are you asleep?"

Li Mo tentatively shook Xier's shoulders, but Xier did not respond.

So this girl couldn't sleep and asked me to be the bedtime storyteller?

Emmm...some children do need someone close to them to tell them stories before going to bed, so that they can feel safer when they sleep.

Xier's behavior tonight was normal, and Li Mo couldn't see any clues.

She is like a cowardly girl who knows nothing, wants to know everything, but is afraid to know.

This timid and introverted attitude is consistent with Li Mo's impression of Xier.

In the original book, when Bronya was beaten, Seele was so scared that she hid in a box, holding her head and crying silently.

Coward...

"Just let Xier sleep in my room for one night? But where would I sleep..."

Li Mo was stunned. There was only one bed. It was impossible for him and Xier to sleep in the same bed, right?

I felt that Qiluo would crawl out from under the bed in the middle of the night and stare at me with strange eyes while I was sleeping.

hiss……

A bit scary.

"Xier, Xier, wake up."

Li Mo shook Xier with a little force and kept calling out to her until Xier slowly opened her eyes and let out a sweet, muffled sound like a kitten.

"Um...Brother? I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I just accidentally fell asleep. I didn't mean to..."

Xier rubbed her sleepy eyes, and after realizing her situation, she apologized instinctively, not daring to look up at Li Mo.

"It's okay. This story is still not suitable for children of your age. Don't blame yourself." Li Mo comforted.

"Thank you, brother. Xier heard that the prince committed suicide and the princess tied herself to the cross in the church and set herself on fire. Is this the end of the story?" Xier asked naively.

Li Mo shook his head. "That was the first round. The ending of the story is the second round. Xier can understand that the second round is the story after rebirth, but the different choices made by the characters lead to different endings."

"What's the story of the second round?" Xier asked.

Li Mo simply summarized it: "The princess was reborn at the age of twelve, but she did not wait for the prince to marry her. Instead, she was married to the same prince in another country by the king."

"But the prince may have been reborn. To prevent the kingdom from being destroyed, he treated the princess in the worst possible way, until the day she turned into a witch on her eighteenth birthday... and then he drew his sword and killed her."

After listening to Li Mo's story, Xier fell into silence and thought.

"Brother... why, why is it such a story... the princess has done nothing wrong, why did she become a witch..."

Xier clenched her small hands and asked with her head down.

Li Mo sighed and placed his hand on Xier's, feeling the slight tremor. "Who knows? Many things cannot be explained or solved. Fate pushes people off the edge of a cliff, and the most people can do is hold on to the edge tightly to prevent themselves from falling."

"Be good, you don't need to think about these things. It's just a terrible fairy tale, not reality."

Xier said "hmm" weakly, raised her head and looked at Li Mo, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But the next second he jumped off Li Mo's legs and walked quickly to the door.

"I...I'm going back to my room to sleep first. Thank you, brother, for telling me a story tonight."

After saying that, Xier left in a hurry.

Li Mo shouted towards the door, "Remember to wear shoes! Don't go barefoot again!"

After a long time, a faint response came from outside the corridor.

"This girl, she wanted to say something just now, why didn't she say it? Was she worried that I would notice something?"

Li Mo touched his head in confusion. He thought Xier would ask, "If you were the prince in the second round, how would you treat the princess?"

If Xier really said it, Li Mo would be sure that Xier was definitely more than twelve years old.

Now... it's still not clear, I can only observe more in the future.

At least Xier behaved normally.

"Don't think about it. My head is a little dizzy. I've been using my brain too much these days. I need to go to bed early. I have to take the kids to school tomorrow."

Li Mo climbed onto the bed with difficulty, and suddenly, he picked up the phone with trembling hands.

Found the kind 99+ message from Shigure Kirara.

“…It’s over!”

The sleepiness disappeared instantly, and Li Mo sent several messages to explain.

At the same time, Xier did not return to her room, but went to the fourth floor alone.

Unlike Li Mo who took the elevator to the fourth floor, Xier took the stairs and reached the fourth floor smoothly.

Bare feet stepped on the dusty floor, but left no footprints.

Even the snow-white little feet were not stained with dust.

There was no sign of sleepiness on his face, but instead a happy smile.

Xier walked to the bookshelf, took down the fairy tale book with her name written on the title page, and opened it with a sweet mood.

It was clearly written in Chinese characters, but Xier was fascinated by it.

"Brother probably didn't notice..."

Xier put the fairy tale book back to its place and was about to leave when suddenly she found herself back at school during the day.

The office was crowded with people, including teachers who came to watch the show, students who were curious about the fun, and... Li Mo, who had an expressionless face.

"Are you Xi'er's guardian?"

"Yes."

Li Mo's indifference made Xier's class teacher feel a little strange, but for now, he still had to explain the matter clearly.

As Xier's teacher, it is necessary to let Xier's guardian understand the troubles she has encountered recently.

"It's like this. Xier is surrounded by a few thugs from outside the school every day when she comes home from school. What's even worse is that they pour drinks on Xier's head."

"It's not just about going home after school, but also going to school. Xier comes to school soaking wet every day...it affects the other students quite a bit. I'd like you to pick Xier up and drop her off at school. Is that okay?"

The teacher made pertinent suggestions. According to her thinking, Li Mo should be angry.

Can……

All the teacher could see was a calm expression. Li Mo didn't even look at Xier to say anything comforting.

I have a bad feeling...

Li Mo groaned, "It takes two to tango. Why do others only bully her and not others? Think about whether it's your fault. Don't bother me with such a small matter. Solve it yourself."

After saying that, Li Mo turned and left, not caring at all about the strange looks Xier was looking at.

Students and teachers all looked at Xier with pitiful eyes.

This kind of gaze, this look, is like looking at a poor creature.

Xier bit her lip, clenched her sleeves, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Xier...your brother..." The teacher hesitated to speak.

"It's okay... Xier, find a way to solve it yourself... It's okay... This is all Xier's fault..."

Her voice broke, and Xier tried hard to hold back her tears as she quickly fled from the murderous gaze in the office.

Back in the classroom, the students around me covered their mouths with their hands before speaking, but this could not cover up the whispers coming from all directions.
