On the morning of June 7th, six years ago, Shizhi, she didn't get up until almost 8 o'clock. Normally, the school required students to be back by 6:30, so she was definitely late, but today was the college entrance examination, and she didn't enter the exam room until 8:20. She sped up changing clothes and washing, and ran to the school, just in time to make it without being late.
Just over 7 hours ago, she gave her first time to her brother - her beloved brother Liang. This made her feel physically and mentally happy, and in a great state. As a result, in the college entrance examination that year, she performed exceptionally well. Normally, she would be a distance away from the admission line in the mock exams, but in the actual exam, she not only reached the admission line but also exceeded it by more than 30 points. She applied to a prestigious university close to home. During her time at university, she did not live in the dormitory but commuted because she wanted to spend more time with him - Liang.
She hoped that she and he would not just have a sibling relationship living together, she hoped that they could get along like lovers. If her friends found out, they would definitely tease her for being "brother-obsessed." But that didn't matter. It didn't matter what outsiders said, there was no need to take it to heart.
In fact, she didn't want to ask for too much, she just hoped that he could hold her hand or kiss her when she needed it; to comfort her when she was lonely, that's all.
But after that night, Liang returned to his previous cold demeanor, staying in his room all day like a hermit, and treating her with an indifferent attitude. Sometimes he would go out alone without telling her, making her worry.
She knew that his personality was just like that, he just didn't know how to express himself. She knew that he loved her very much, as deeply as she loved him.
Several times, she hinted to him that she needed his embrace, needed his kiss, but she didn't know if he was too dull to realize it, or if he realized it but deliberately ignored it. He never reacted.
Once, she gathered up the courage and took the initiative. But to her surprise, he just coldly said, "It's not possible, we are siblings."
Is it not possible for siblings to be together? She is very disappointed in him. Although she is outgoing and lively, she is not a very proactive girl. It's rare for her to gather the courage to be so proactive, but he actually poured cold water on her, which is really too much! As a result, their relationship has never been able to progress. In the end, she finally gave up on him. Just at this time, Han Zhiye started pursuing her. Some men may think that women are all fools, as long as they use sweet words to coax them, they can easily deceive them. But Shizhi is not that kind of naive girl. She can see at a glance that this man is only approaching her for money and fame.
However, in order to alleviate the loneliness caused by the inability to further develop with Liang, she accepted Han Zhiye's pursuit with a self-destructive attitude. Since he was only using her to achieve success, they were even. She also used him as an emotional outlet, as a substitute for Liang. We are just pawns to each other, tit for tat.
When she told Liang that she had a boyfriend, his expression hardly changed, but with a woman's sensitivity, she still sensed the ripples in his heart.
To further stimulate Liang, Shizhi brought Zhiye home after dating for a while and introduced him to Liang in person.
Han Zhiye is both tall and handsome. In terms of male charm, the thin and gloomy Liang is clearly no match. Shizhi understands very well how much men value their self-esteem. In front of an Zhiye, Liang will definitely feel inferior, as well as jealous and angry. Indeed, from the moment the three of them sat down, Liang has been staring closely at Zhiye's face. His eyes still look dull and lifeless, but the sharp, piercing light from the depths of his pupils cannot be hidden.
When Shizhi introduced Liang to an Zhiye, she really hoped that he would firmly say, "I disagree with you dating my sister." If he really said that, then she would definitely break up with Zhiye. But Liang's weakness once again caught her off guard—
After listening to the introduction of the Zhiye, he just coldly and politely nodded, then ran down to the third floor and hid back in his gloomy room.
What a coward without dignity! Shizhi felt extremely angry and disappointed with Liang's actions.
So, in a fit of pique, she started a more intimate relationship with the Zhiye - that is, they slept together.
Then, that evening, she brought Zhiye home as usual. Liang was not at home. She hadn't seen him for a whole week, but she didn't mind too much. She had completely given up on him. She no longer hoped that he would say to her, "I love you, leave that man and be with me," because for that weak man, saying such words was even harder than reaching the sky.
That night, after being intimate with Han Zhiye, she went up to the rooftop to retrieve her clothes. However, as she descended to the platform on the fifth floor staircase, she suddenly had a strange feeling, and it seemed that the door next to her was causing this sensation.
It was the door to the fifth floor entrance. The fifth floor is now used to store miscellaneous items, which it wasn't before, so that door, like all the doors downstairs, was exquisitely heavy and completely soundproof.
As if driven by an invisible force, she subconsciously grasped the door handle and gently turned it to the right. The door slowly opened.
Upon seeing the situation inside the house, she instantly gasped for breath, her entire face contorting. Her eyes widened, her lips trembled incessantly, her body began to shake violently, and her screams almost burst out.
Brother - Liang was hanging there, already dead.
She rushed towards him. Although subconsciously she was very clear that there was no hope, she still wanted to untie the rope around his neck and bring him down.
However, perhaps due to being overly startled just now, she didn't notice it until she approached Liang's body and smelled that strong stench of death. She squatted on the ground, curled up, covered her mouth, and desperately held back from vomiting on the spot. She saw the farewell letter, on which only a short sentence was written, indicating that he could no longer write anything.
Shizhi Sitting blankly on the floor, staring lifelessly, half-open mouth. After a while, she suddenly noticed the large wet patch in front of her, soaked by her tears. She didn't cry out loud, but tears flowed incessantly like broken beads. Why?
Why did you have to die so selfishly?
Why did you have to leave me?
What do you mean by "a talented man reaching the end of his life"? You're only 32!
I can't write a novel, so what?! What am I supposed to do without you? What's the point of me being alive?
No! I don't want you to die. Are you kidding me? Wake up, you jerk! I don't want this! Bro, I don't want you to die!
......
She cried out in anguish, tearing at her heart and lungs. Other than Liang's lifeless body, she couldn't see or hear anything else, not even the almost suffocating stench. Shizhi was so heartbroken, not just because of Liang's death. He had committed suicide because he couldn't write a novel, indicating that although he loved her, writing was evidently more important to him. This made her even sadder and more heartbroken.
Shizhi She sat on the ground, feeling powerless. After about 20 minutes, she stood up unsteadily. She sniffed and wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.
Oh right, Liang-ge has already gone home, I need to lock the door... She stumbled down to the first floor, opened the door, walked into the yard, and locked the back door.
Then she returned to the house, closed the inner door, and locked that door too.
Her mind went blank, and when she came to, she realized she was back in the bathroom on the fourth floor, already soaking in the bathtub. As the water temperature gradually dropped, the coolness of the water helped her regain her senses. She felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if her heart had been torn in half, making it difficult to breathe. "Since you're no longer here, then I don't want to live either. Without you, what meaning does my life have?"
Perhaps, in this world, we are destined to never become lovers. But...
If we end up in Hell, then it should be okay, right?
If there is a next life, I definitely want to be your lover, never again your little sister.
But—I can't just die like this. I can't accept it. That man—that scum who treats women like fools, tramples on love—Han Zhiye must also be dragged down to Hell. Meijia must have been deceived by him too. Not only that, that man might use the same means to harm other girls in the future.
We can't let this scum continue to exist in the world. If I'm going to die, I'll drag you down with me.
Right. Aren't you using me? Now it's my turn to use you. Use you to achieve my death, and then—you'll spend the rest of your life regretting in prison!
She lifted her face, gazing up at the hazy ceiling due to the mist.
Brother, wait for me, I'll come find you right away. Shizhi She closed her eyes, a tear quietly slipping from the corner of her eye.
I love you, brother.
(End)
