: Unchanged

"I'm not afraid that you didn't look at me. I'm afraid that you are looking at me, but when I see you, you won't dare to look at me!"

I was stunned, and then touched the girl's head, "Can you eat people? Why don't I dare to look at you?"

Chu Yuan raised her head carefully and saw that I looked at her without diverting her gaze. She breathed a little relieved, "Are you really not afraid of me?"

"Afraid."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan jumped back reflexively, as if he was carrying something harmful and unclean on him, afraid of contaminating me. It was not an exclusion of me, but a fear of inferiority, "I'm afraid of me...what?"

I looked at my hanging hand, then at Chu Yuan's panic expression that touched my heart, and slowly reached the hand in front of Chu Yuan. When she showed doubts, I bounced her finger hard on her forehead.

"Um--" Chu Yuan exclaimed in pain, and tears burst out. I deliberately used my strength. Not to mention that she was shot into the forehead without any defense. Even if it was shot on the back of her hand, it would be enough for her to hurt for a while. This girl was expected to be angry and launched a counterattack when she was attacked. This is no longer a habit, but her instinct, so she naturally showed her little fangs and said angrily: "What are you doing?! I kick you to death--"

When the words "Kick you to death" fell, she realized that she had become her usual self again.

Of course, she didn't kick me, and I pressed my hand on her head again and said frankly: "I'm afraid too, I'm afraid of things you're afraid of."

Chu Yuan was stunned and let me stroke her long fluffy hair. After a while, she whispered, "Hate..."

But she pressed her forehead against the chest of this annoying person...

"Silly girl, you're thinking too much," I said, "You are still you, brother or brother. Let's live and grow up together. This kind of bond cannot be cut off by anything."

"Well, I know..." Chu Yuan asked softly: "Brother, we still get along like before yesterday, is it okay?"

"Why not?"

"Because...I think something will become different from the past."

I understand what Chu Yuan refers to. There may be no difference in the essence of hiding love and hiding love, but the methods are very different. When Chu Yuan no longer has a secret, can we still go back to the past?

Yes! Because Chu Yuan is still Chu Yuan, because I am still me, I can’t tell whether to persuade or comfort, but there is no doubt that I am saying to myself, “Only when people change, the way they get along will change.”

Chu Yuan said curiously: "How can people change?"

This question stumbles on me, how can people change?

"When people grow up, they will change."

"Oh..." Chu Yuan nodded, "Then I'm relieved, I haven't grown up yet."

This sentence made a strange thing flow in my heart. If I said what Chu Yuan’s biggest change was after last night, then this was the case. She always hoped to grow up soon, suddenly became less than that...

"And...even if I grow up, some things will not change," Chu Yuan looked at me with some smugness, a little shy, but very confident, "No matter whether it is me or brother."

At this moment, my heart hidden in my flesh and my thoughts were like being cut open by Dongfang countless times, and seemed to have been cut open by Chu Yuan. I think I understand what she is referring to, but what is terrible is that I think she knows what she is referring to...

"Well, by the way, I asked you something..." I was trying to hide it. I didn't want Chu Yuan to become like Dongfang, and could easily see through my heart. So I thought of a question related to Dongfang.

"What's up?"

I glanced at the bathroom and asked in a low voice: "Dongfang's birthday...is it Christmas?"

"Yes." Chu Yuan's answer was very straightforward, just like a thunderclap, which shocked me almost petrified.

"Eh?" Chu Yuan suddenly felt puzzled, "Brother, have I told you Dongfang's birthday before?"

No...so I can be so sure--I didn't dream at all last night. Dongfang Xiaoniang did climb onto my bed with a kitchen knife!

"Huh~ It feels so comfortable-"

I was still shocked, Dongfang walked out of the bathroom with a comfortable face. Before I could stop Chu Yuan, the girl couldn't help but ask, "Dongfang, how did my brother know that your birthday is Christmas? Did you tell him?"

The exaggerated satisfaction that Dongfang deliberately performed was frozen on his face. Obviously, this girl with a flash of thought understood what Chu Yuan’s problem meant. When our eyes met, what I saw in her eyes was a complexity of countless and incomprehensible...

"That... did I say it? It seems that I have said it, but I haven't said it," Dongfang said incoherently, "Brother Nan is not confused, right? No... Have you seen my ID card?"

These words are purely for Chu Yuan to hear. Have I read her ID card? She knew the most clearly in her heart. Chu Yuan believed it and let her breath out, but I was still suspicious, making her still panic-Why was she panic?

I decided to test it out, "You told me, have you forgotten? You also said that you are looking forward to Christmas every year most because that day..."

"Brother Nan, your wallet~" Dongfang crashed into my arms, and the wallet was stuffed into my hand, but her nails were inserted into my flesh. The little girl smiled so erraticly, and the corners of her mouth were twitching. She couldn't tell whether it was a threat or a begging. She said: "It was wrong for me to play the prank just now, and it was my fault to bend it. I apologize and promise that I will never fool you again in the future..."

The implication is nothing more than not letting me talk down. Sure enough, in the past, she showed disdain for her mother in front of Chu Yuan. The fact that she loved her mother deeply was a secret that only she knew... No wonder Chu Yuan always told me that Dongfang had a bad relationship with her mother. It turned out that Dongfang had always hidden this secret, and even Chu Yuan had never told her.

It seems that Dongfang left his mouth because he was too excited last night and had no idea. Otherwise, when she forced me to agree to the request, she should have added one more and asked me to keep this secret for her.

Little girl, you actually scared me with a kitchen knife. Did you get retribution? I actually caught your weakness...

Chu Yuan asked, "How was that day? Brother, are you talking all the time? Speaking of which, Dongfang, we have known each other for so long, I seem to have never celebrated your birthday. I don't know what you expect from that day..."

"Of course, I look forward to the gift, because many people will give me gifts that day. What I look forward to most is to share the gifts I gave me the next day, because we are good friends!"

Dongfang's reaction was so fast that he could think of such a pleasing reason, which moved Chu Yuan...

"Okay, OK, it's been delayed for so long, Brother Nan is almost late. Let's go quickly, where is Sister Xiaoye?" Dongfang's intention to distract the topic was very obvious.

"Sister Xiaoye is picking up the power in the room..."

Before Chu Yuan finished speaking, Dong Xiaoye, who was so gloomy or excited, opened the door and stepped out of the room. Before I could ask, she said to me in a deep voice: "Hurry up, let's go, I must go back to the bureau immediately!"

"What happened?" My intuition told me that it was a big deal, otherwise Sister Hu would not be so anxious, "A good thing or a bad thing?"

Sister Hu said: "There is news about the Sand Boat! He has not left Beitian yet!"

"Good thing?" I was not sure because I couldn't see Sister Hu's excitement.

"But..." Dong Xiaoye's tone changed and his face became gloomy, "He is in Dongcheng District."

Dongcheng District?!

Not only me, but also the two little girls Chu Yuan and Dongfang were stunned...
