Chapter 141: The End Of The Story
Fengyang City was hot in the summer, and the air conditioning in the mall was turned on high, so many parents with children came to the children's area of the mall to kill time.
Qi Yuan sat in a dessert store on the second floor, watching the noisy children's area on the first floor from the French window while waiting for her sister to arrive.
There was a small self-service photo studio next to the children's area, and children went in and out from time to time.
"What are you looking at?" When Qi Yao came in, she saw her sister staring at the floor below in a daze.
She casually put her handbag on the table, leaned over and knocked on her sister's head. "You look so serious."
Qi Yuan covered her head with one hand and pointed downstairs. "Sister, let's go downstairs to take pictures—I suddenly remembered that we haven't taken many photos together in all these years."
Qi Yao, who didn't like to be on camera, looked at the photo studio that was obviously prepared for children and said helplessly, "You want to take instant sticker photos?"
"Sister, you actually know about instant sticker photos?" Qi Yuan cupped her face and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "That's not an instant sticker photo booth. You’re still living in the old times."
She took her sister's hand and went downstairs. The two squeezed into the small photo studio. "Look, isn't it interesting? Let's take two photos, and then..."
She glanced at the shelf next to her.
In the end, the girl who couldn't resist her sister accompanied her to take two photos, and bought two silver necklaces specifically for the photos.
When Qi Yao saw her sister carefully opening the photo frame and putting the photo in, she laughed. "You’re so careful. Don't tell me you’re going to wear it to sleep from now on."
"Of course." Qi Yuan pouted. "When I wear it, it feels just like you’re always with me, hehe."
……
"Sister!" The girl who came back from her date held a beautifully packaged box and skipped into Qi Yao’s room. "It's for you."
"For me?" The girl who was leaning on the soft chair reading a book looked up at the thing in her sister's hand and raised her eyebrow. "What’s it?"
Putting the box on the table in front of her, Qi Yuan winked mysteriously. "Open it yourself."
Under her sister's expectant eyes, Qi Yao put down the book, untied the ribbon tied into a bow on the box, and opened the box.
It was a SLR camera.
A thought crossed Qi Yao’s mind. She looked at her sister in surprise and blurted out, "Did you buy it?"
"No, no, no!" Qi Yuan shook a finger pretentiously and said with a smile, "It was given to you by Chu Yuan!"
"Chu Yuan? For me?" Qi Yao was stunned.
"Yes." Qi Yuan sat cross-legged opposite her, stroking her chin. "As soon as I saw this camera, I knew it must be something for you—Sister, what happened between you last night? Why would he think of giving you a SLR camera?"
Last night... she was drunk.
Qi Yao could only shake her head. "I really don't remember... Maybe I said something I shouldn't have said when I was drunk." She pushed the camera to the front of her sister. "Besides, this is a gift for you. In his eyes, you’re Qi Yao."
"Sister!" Qi Yuan showed an annoyed expression. "You know clearly in your heart that this is a gift for you!"
For some reason, she suddenly got angry, and without waiting for Qi Yao to reply, she got up and ran out of the room.
"A gift... for me?"
Looking at the SLR camera in the box, she smiled bitterly and closed the box.
She had never used that SLR camera once.
It was just that occasionally when she saw the box that she had carefully placed in the cloakroom, she would remember that she had received a gift.
It was her favorite gift.
……
On the sidewalk, Qi Yuan and the servants were fighting. Perhaps she had some kind of awakening, and her crazy manner made it difficult for the servants to subdue her for a while.
Qi Yao stood at the side anxiously, but was helpless.
"Let her create a din." Her father stood beside her with a cold expression and sneered. "Let’s see how long she can continue with this ruckus."
"Dad..." Qi Yao bit her lip and suddenly felt tired.
Perhaps all this should have ended long ago.
When the direct line of the Chu family was schemed against, when her father used her to set a trap to lure Chu Yuan into the trap, it should have ended.
Just let it all end.
She thought that since she was used by her father to deceive Chu Yuan and Qi Yuan, then just let her end it all with her own hands.
"Ah!" A scream rang in her ears. She snapped out of her thoughts with a start. Looking over, she saw her sister fell off the sidewalk, and a car was speeding toward her not far away.
"Qi Yuan!"
"Qi Yao!"
Two screams rang out at the same time.
By the time she realized what she had done, Qi Yao had already rushed out onto the road. At the instant the car hit her, she hugged her sister tightly in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, Qi Yuan."
Don't be afraid, it would be over soon.
I could finally give you back what I owed you.
She thought so, and while she felt relieved, she also felt a little regretful.
In fact, she should have been braver. At least, she wouldn’t have any regrets before she died.
At least...
Before she lost consciousness, she heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear.
"It's okay now, Sister."
The familiar voice no longer held the irritable tone from quarreling. It was gentle and bright, like the wind in March, lightly passing through her ears.
Before closing her eyes, in her blood-blurred vision, the silver photo frame with the headshot of the two of them was detached from the chain. Stained with blood, it rolled far away, and then was crushed to pieces by the wheels.
……
She didn't know how long she had been running. Not only were the chaotic footsteps behind her not shaken off, but they got closer and louder instead.
She tightly grasped the small photo frame attached to her chest, looked at the iron wall in front of her, and forced a bitter smile.
It was a dead end.
This not-so-beautiful story should also come to an end.
Actually, God still treated her well. At least in the end, she managed to express her apology and love to that person.
She probably had no regrets in her life.
The only pity was that she probably couldn’t keep the appointment for the barbecue.
……
The night was gentle. Qi Yuan dried her hair, got into the quilt, and pulled her sister's hair.
Grabbing her sister's hand, Qi Yao pinched her face. "What are you doing?"
"Sister, have you heard? A classmate in our class was found out by the teacher for dating early, and her parents were called in. She had to write a letter to reflect on her mistakes. How pitiful..."
"I haven't heard about it." Not interested in gossip, Qi Yao turned off the bedside lamp. "Let’s turn in. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Sister, why are you not interested in gossip at all? You’re just like a little old lady~"
"And you're just like a long-billed parrot."
"..." Qi Yuan muttered, "You're like a parrot instead..." She pulled her sister's hair again. "Qi Yao, people say that twins have telepathy. What if we fall in love with the same guy in the future?"
"Huh?" As if she had heard something ridiculous , Qi Yao grabbed her sister's rebellious hand and poked her head. "I couldn’t possibly have such poor taste. You think too much."
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Yuan tickled her. "You have good taste? Huh? Huh? Your judgment is obviously worse than mine!"
"Nonsense! My judgment is naturally good!" She smiled and dodged. "The person I like must be the best one in the world!"
"Oh, Qi Yao, don’t you feel embarrassed to say that?" Qi Yuan continued to tickle her. "Who doesn't like the best guy in the world? Tell me, if we really like the same person, will you compete with me for him?"
"Okay, okay..." Qi Yao laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and said perfunctorily, "I'll let you have him, I'll let you have him. After all, you’re my sister. If you like that person, I'll let you have him..."
"That's more like it." Qi Yuan was satisfied and put her arms around Qi Yao’s waist. "Sister, I love you the most, hehe."
After a pause, she muttered, "But even if we like the same guy, I’ll definitely not compete with you for him. After all, you’re my sister."
Looking at the girl hanging on her waist like a koala, Qi Yao touched the top of her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
"Good night, Qi Yuan."
