Falling in love with you through the clouds

24 The Tao Family Sister and Brother

"This was originally my grandfather's room. After the old man left, it was changed into a study room. Look on it, there are awards and photos of our sister and brother from childhood to adulthood."

I first realized that the people in the photo frame were their sister and brother. I couldn't help but walk closer with my legs, and he continued: "She is six years older than me, so we have no chance to go to the same school except for elementary school, but she has always She took good care of me; you didn't hear what I said about her, did you?"

"Well, that's right..." The first photo frame I saw was that Sister Tao had just entered junior high school. Because she was in the north, I couldn't recognize which school's uniform it was. She grew so tall when she was a child!

She cut her student's head and smiled at the camera. The boy next to her who only reached around her waist was Tao Yi'an, right?She put her brother's shoulders on her shoulders, and she seemed to know that the relationship between the two must be good.

"Although she is an older sister, I heard from my mother that she has been very naughty and lively since she was a child, and she has a non-stop brain. She likes to draw and watch cartoons; she has a personality like a boy, and she is very independent. School is over... But even so, she still treats me very well and takes good care of me. She used to take me out to play video games without finishing my homework! Rather than saying that she is a sister, she feels more like a brother to me. But that was before elementary school."

"She makes it sound like she's not a lady!" It's hard for me to associate the "Sister Tao" in his mouth with the one who sleeps next to me every night.She is very independent, but unlike a boy, she is a very intellectual, elegant, and funny mature woman... Ah!It's true that she loves beer!

"My parents also love her very much, and have high expectations for her; of course, I am even more, I am a boy... It can be seen that our family's concept is still full of traditions, and children should inherit the family business. My sister went to high school and university. She has been working hard in this direction all the time, and she studied economics at university in order to help my mother's auction website."

"She studied science?" She didn't mention it to me.

"Well, so she is very good at computer things; my parents carefully arranged every step of our sister and brother, waiting for her to graduate from university, take a graduate school, and slowly let her enter the company to study management..." At this point , his smile disappeared, and my eyes returned to Tao Yi'an from the photo of her college and classmates.

"In the end, she became a deserter. After finishing college, she resolutely dropped out of school and only concentrated on playing with her camera. She even set up a studio with some college classmates."

"Did she say why?"

"We all believed that she was influenced by bad friends; she joined the photography club in her sophomore year. When I chatted with her, I found that she seemed to admire the president at that time. When she talked about the aperture, which I was not familiar with, Overexposure, composition, and some photography jargon, I started to know that she really liked it; before that, she was writing prose occasionally at best.”

So not only is she good at taking pictures, but she also writes so well. Is this the reason?

"Three years ago was the last time I persuaded her, and it was also the last time I met her so far; she told me that she stopped taking wedding dresses, and I asked her why, but she didn't tell. Asked her if she wanted to come home, she just shook Shake your head, and say firmly 'no' to me..." He lowered his head, and I sensed his frustration, so I went back to him and put my shoulders on him. "But she asked me a word at the time, and I was very impressed."

"What?"

"'Yian, you lost your feet, but you can't move freely. Why don't you let yourself do what you want? How long can you close yourself?'"

It's very similar to what Sister Tao would say.

"She knew that I was very talented in painting, but because I had enough grades, I still studied law... But I really didn't understand at that time. I begged her to come back. You also know that I went to college like this Yes, I begged her to come back... She didn't want it, and then it was like disappearing from the world, until later, I went to ask her friends from the former studio, and only one person knew that she had gone on a trip, so I started to follow her fans Page, until now." He pursed his lips, and I could feel that he was very excited and might cry at any moment.

"I still don't understand what happened to her, but it wasn't until I switched from law to art that I got a little idea of ​​what she meant by what she said to me; , I should still finish my legal studies... After all, who would want to find a lawyer who can't walk!"

After listening to his self-mockery, I just want to say one thing - "You love her very much."

He stared at me like I said something weird; I took a deep breath and continued, "And, deep down, you still want to see your sister again, don't you?"

"No, Xiaoning, why do you think so?" He shook his head, but tears fell from his eyes, which he quickly wiped away.

"Because that's what you told me. So you can't forgive her for leaving, and you're still worried about her reluctance to go home. If you just simply hate her, you won't be so excited when you talk about your past. To shed tears, if your relationship has never been close, then you can treat her departure like a stranger; isn't that just right? There is one less contender, and you will inherit all the property of your Tao family. "

He was speechless by what I said, I exhaled, and gently put the back of his hand. "You know? You're fine, really, but your biggest flaw is that you're not being honest with yourself; in fact, you've always understood, you understand why your sister told you that, and why she made such a decision ..."

He retorted stubbornly, "I don't understand."

"You understand!" I seldom raised my voice, "Because she just wants you to face yourself bravely and do what you want...Although I may not be kind when I say this...your illness may limit your Freedom also indirectly unlocks your shackles, allowing your talents to be seen by others; you exchanged your legs for the freedom of your mind and talents.”

I seem to understand a little bit... a little understanding why Sister Tao is so determined not to go home, and has almost severed ties with her family. That reason may be just for one person from the beginning to the end.

Avoiding emotional hurt is just an incidental reason, because she always misses this younger brother who only wants to do his best for the family business.

"Tell me, are you happy as a painter?"

His eyes were surprisingly bright. When I asked a question, what I found in his eyes was a flying spirit that I had never seen before.

I raised my mouth and grabbed his hand tightly. "She must really want to see your expression now."

"she……"

"Isn't there news about her?" This time I will remember not to talk about it! "Didn't you tell me that she is not in Tibet?"

"She recently went to Sri Lanka."

"Yes, Sri Lanka." I subconsciously touched the amethyst hidden in my neck. "Maybe she will come back, come back to this house, and visit you, the brother she still misses."

"Speak as if you have contacted her." He finally curled his lips, and there was no irony in this sentence. "Is it through fan page messages?"

"I haven't contacted her." I just slept next to her every day, and was almost kissed by her! "I just thought, if you have a channel to contact her directly, you may have a chance to persuade her to come back; I haven't seen her for three years, and she always doesn't show her face in front of the camera. Don't you wonder what she has become?"

"My news is from my aunt... I have an aunt who is a doctor."

I know because I just went back to see her the other day! "Then ask her to help persuade your sister. Your sister is not hard-hearted. Tell her a few more people, maybe she will come back suddenly when she wants to!"

"How do you feel that you, Xiaoning, are suddenly familiar with her?"

"Well... because I read her fan page every day! Her writing is so good, and the articles she writes make people feel warm when they read them. She must not be an indifferent person, right?" I began to admire my breaking skills up!

He glanced at the pile of photos and finally sighed. "Let's talk again! We've wasted a lot of time here for no reason, don't forget to make a report!" The wheelchair turned around, and he quickly left the room.

I also looked back at those sisters Tao when they were young, and felt that this pair of sisters and brothers had to break the ice... There is still a long way to go!

However, no matter how difficult things are, they need a beginning, don't they?

Decided!No matter what, I will definitely let Sister Tao at least come back to see Tao Yi'an!

This, perhaps, is also the biggest New Year gift I can give Tao Yi'an.

***

What kind of audio magazine, it really is not so interesting.

Tao Yi'an has actually made a lot of preparations for this report, after all, it is the magazine he chose; he has already typed most of the contents of the report, and there are only some oral modifications, so I read the entire briefing first, and aimed at him. I read the finished part a little bit, and asked him some questions by the way.

"If you are interested, our family has a whole group of home theaters; when you have time, you can play it and listen to music, and you will understand what is called the 'emperor seat'."

When it comes to listening to music, I can't help but think of the light music played by Sister Tao at work. "It's getting late now! I might have to have dinner at eight o'clock!"

"That's not easy? Eat at our house." I detected a hint of conspiracy from the corner of his raised mouth.

"What's the point of that?"

"Why are you sorry? This is a customer." He smiled, and the wheelchair swayed to the phone, picked it up and started calling. It felt like ordering the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of us. It was like hotel room service!

"I'll take you back to your place when you're full. Anyway, when you come to our house, I'll take care of everything. You don't have to worry."

"You are really yelling..."

He smiled, I deliberately stopped looking at him, and pretended to work hard to practice watching the slideshow to match the content of the report.

Four or ten minutes later—"Xiaoning, come, take a break." I almost fell asleep in front of his computer, he called me, and I turned around to see two cups of black tea in his hand.

"This, does this mean to drink afternoon tea?"

"It's a bit late, it's almost 04:30! But it's still drinkable."

The cup looked very high-end, and I held it carefully, lest it be broken and I would have to pay for it.

"Xiaoning, actually, I've always wanted to have a cup of tea alone with you like this." He said to me in a sensual and gentle tone. "It's not that I despise Yiting... It's just that compared to the lively Yiting, I appreciate you who are quiet and gentle."

It's kind of embarrassing for him to say that. "She's a bit noisy! But, I'm also quite rude, who said I'm gentle?"

"As soon as I talked about my sister, not only did you not blame me, but you were willing to comfort me like that, smoothing things over for her and me. Doesn't this prove that you are a gentle and considerate girl?"

"Well... I just can't bear to see you two have such a good relationship, but now you become like strangers."

He smiled slightly, and quickly said seriously: "Actually, I have gradually become obsessed with mermaids recently."

"Mermaid?" I opened my eyes wide, feeling like I haven't mentioned them for a long time.

"Well, you took me to listen to it live once, and I thought it was very good; however, part of it is purely to understand why you like their music so much. To put it simply, I want to know you better."

It's totally a whole course of action to come after me.

"Then, you were right when I painted the ancient clock; even if I lose my freedom of movement, I still have hands, and I can still show my talents and abilities. You, then I should show more confidence and ability."

These two sisters... don't they blush when they say such things in front of others?
