Chapter 71 third chapter

She was playing the ball alone in the long corridor.Her dear brother is not at home, so she can only play at home boredly, waiting for his brother to come back. She likes her brother, and being with him is the happiest time in her short life. This big house is indeed full of eerie feeling and extremely cold as the doctor Chen said, so she doesn't like it here, and she doesn't want to play alone in the empty corridor.If it weren't for her gentle brother living here, she would not want to stay in this frightening place. Many times, she would wake up in the middle of the night, awakened by nightmares.She really wanted to escape from here and return to the original humble but warm home.But when she saw her sleeping brother next to her, she dismissed the idea. She loved her brother deeply, just as he loved her deeply.

However, my brother is sometimes very mysterious. My brother is a taciturn person. Sometimes he will sit on the couch in front of the fireplace all afternoon, motionless, as if the whole person has merged into this old big house and become a part of it. Sometimes her brother would disappear out of nowhere for no reason, and she was sure he hadn't left the house because she hadn't seen him go out, not just once, but many times.What's even more strange is that when she was confused and frightened, her brother would suddenly appear from a dark place and startle her.But every time she asked her brother where he was hiding, he never answered, and his face would become very gloomy.

Only at this time, she felt that her brother was a terrible person. Moreover, her brother made many weird rules for her, such as... Suddenly, she slipped, and the ball fell out of her small hands, bounced far away, and hit an open door.The door squeaked open a gap, and the ball rolled to the side wall. She ran to pick it up, then looked at the door that was ajar.She had never been in this room, because the house was huge and there were many rooms she hadn't seen.She approached the door and saw that there seemed to be someone inside. She walked in and saw a girl in a white one-piece dress lying on a white bed with her back facing her, and her curly black hair was scattered like waves on a white pillow.

She has never seen this girl who seems to be sleeping in front of her, why is she in her house?Is she someone my brother knows?All kinds of questions appeared in her little head, so she couldn't help being curious, walked over, patted the girl's arm lightly, "Who are you?" The girl didn't respond. She tried to wake the girl up again, but the girl was still in a deep sleep, so she shook the girl's shoulders vigorously until she rolled over. She was stunned, her face was full of horror, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, she dropped the ball in her hand and fled the room as if flying.And when she turned the corner in the corridor, she bumped into something.Hit someone, to be precise.

She looked up, and her brother's gentle smiling face was looking at her at this moment. "What's the matter, Jiajia?" "That, that..." She said out of breath: "In that room, there is a sister, it's scary..." Her immature little finger pointed to the end of the corridor, the room with the half-open door. And he just looked at the door blankly. "Jiajia, I told you not to come here to play, right?" "what?" "But you are disobedient...why don't you listen to brother? Jiajia!" Luo Luo still had no expression on his face, but his voice was extremely cold.

"Yes... sorry... I didn't mean to..." "Jiajia is a bad boy... brother don't want Jiajia anymore." "No...don't! Brother! Don't be like this! I won't dare to do it again next time!" "Disobedient children should be punished well." Saying this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again. He squatted alone in a corner of the attic, hiding in the shadows. He had just taken a shower and was only wearing a white bathrobe. His wet hair dripped from his neck to his chest with the open collar. Lily's portrait is still hanging on the wall, and on the easel beside it are the portraits of Sasha and Jiajia.

He looked helplessly at their smiles in the painting in the dark, and then turned to look at Lily on the wall.His expression suddenly became painful, and his voice was full of bitterness. "I thought... I really found it this time..." He murmured, but his tone seemed like he was about to cry. Jia Jia betrayed him, she did not become the well-behaved, submissive girl he expected.Jiajia betrayed his love because she was not as perfect as Lily after all.She is too far from Lily! "Jiajia, why did you betray me?...and Sasha..." The corners of his mouth twitched. I don't know where he picked so many gardenias. He tore up those flowers and scattered them around the portrait. The rich fragrance of flowers immediately filled the small room.He breathed and sprinkled to his heart's content, as if completing some mysterious religious ritual.His expression was solemn, almost divine.

After a long time, he stopped moving. He stood up, went to the corner and squatted down again, crying, letting the cold wind outside the window pour into his bathrobe, making his thin body even colder. A few days later, during an opera performance, Chen Linfeng saw that person again in the auditorium.The man was wearing gold-rimmed glasses as usual, and beside him stood a little lady with dark hair. After the opera, he took the initiative to say hello. "Hello, Mr. Luo." Luo Luo hesitated for a moment before saying coldly, "Oh, hello, Dr. Chen, long time no see." This man was as he expected, a typical arrogant guy.Chen Linfeng noticed the little girl beside Luo Luo.

"Come on, Lala, say hello to Dr. Chen." Luo Luo seemed to have read his mind. The little girl stepped forward obediently, "Hello, Dr. Chen." "This lady is..." He looked at the other party with some confusion. "She's sister Lala," Rollo said. "Huh... So, that Miss Jia Jia didn't come?" Then he noticed a change in Luo Luo's face, a very small, almost imperceptible change, only he could see it. "Who is Jiajia?" Lala on the side asked. "...Sorry, I think we have to say goodbye, Dr. Chen." Luo Luo tightly held the hand holding Lala.

"Oh, that's really a pity. I hope we can meet again next time and have a good chat." Chen Linfeng showed a sincere smile. "I thought so too," he said. Although Chen Linfeng knew that he was just pretending to be false, but he was still a little happy to hear him say that. Then he saw Rollo leave the opera house with Lala almost as if fleeing. If he wanted to draw a conclusion to such a situation, he might say it was called "fate". Of course, he knew that Rollo would never think so, he might think it was called "bad luck" or "curse" of.

On the third day after the opera performance, he received news that Rollo was ill, and of course he, a doctor, had to visit him. "It's just a cold. Take some medicine and you'll recover in a few days." After seeing Rollo's condition, he said to the old butler beside him.And Lala looked at Rollo worriedly by the bed, "Get well soon, brother, Lala doesn't want to lose you." "I'll be fine, Lala." He patted Lala's head in relief. "Okay, don't get too close to me, you'll get infected." Lala was led out by the old butler with great reluctance, and Chen Linfeng followed behind.But when he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Rollo. He approached the bed. At this moment, Luo Luo seemed drowsy due to taking the medicine, but Chen Linfeng knew that he was not asleep yet. "It's just a little cold, can you be so weak?" He smiled, but it wasn't a mockery. "You are really a very delicate man, Mr. Luo." Rollo didn't answer. Chen Linfeng didn't know if the other party listened, but he knew that the person was awake.He bent down, stretched out his hand and brushed Rollo's hair loose on his forehead to one side, then turned and walked out of the room. Just as he was leaving, he saw Lala playing the piano in the hall. He walked over, "Lala...can I call you Lala?" The girl nodded. "Do you know where Jia Jia is? I didn't see her, where did she go?" The girl blinked her big taupe eyes and asked curiously, "Who is Jiajia?" He froze for a moment, "I thought she should be your elder sister or younger sister...she is also your brother's younger sister, right?" "I only have my brother, and I don't know Jiajia." Lala said honestly, "My brother said that he only has me as his sister." He was completely stunned. He remembered that day when Luo Luo anxiously looked at the sick Jiajia, and kept saying her name.But where is Jiajia now?After the opera performance that day, Luo Luo never mentioned about Jiajia. What happened to Jiajia? Suddenly, he felt a chill coming out of his body, and a trace of uneasiness floated in his chest for no reason. He felt something was wrong. "I like my brother the most," Lala suddenly said when Chen Linfeng was in a daze, and stopped playing, "because he brought me to be his sister." "Bring?" He suddenly heard the little girl's confession that didn't match his lips, and he was a little confused about the situation for a while. "So... where were you... I mean, before you came here?" he pressed. "I used to live in a place with many, many children, as well as nuns, aunts and pastor uncles... Aunts and uncles are our parents." "Wait, wait a minute, Lala," Chen Linfeng had to admit that he couldn't understand at all, he needed to let Lala speak in a language he could understand. "Why are aunt nun and uncle pastor your parents?" "Because everyone has no parents, so aunts and uncles are our parents. Sometimes, some children will be taken away by new parents and go to new homes... Although I still have no parents now , but it doesn't matter, I just have a brother." Chen Linfeng suddenly understood that this little girl came from an orphanage run by the church, and Luo Luo adopted her and took care of her as his own younger sister.So, is Jia Jia adopted, or is she really Rollo's biological sister? He looked at Lala's curly black hair, and he remembered that Jiajia also had such hair, and those gray-brown eyes were so similar to Jiajia's that it was creepy.Was it because Lala resembled Jiajia so much that Rollo adopted her?Or, are Jiajia and Lala actually substitutes for someone else? He didn't dare to think about it any more. He hurriedly left the Luo mansion, and secretly prayed that the uneasiness in his heart would not become a reality.But deep down in his heart, he faintly felt that that was the truth.
