The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

At the end of the corridor, moonlight slanted across the cold tiles of the window.

Xu Nian sat on the ground and picked out all the letters addressed to him.

The first email was scheduled for delivery in ten days.

This is the date Huang Jianjun predicted Xu Xi's death date.

He trembled as he tore open the envelope and took out the white letter woven with delicate handwriting.

"Hey! My dear boy, are you alright?"

"It's so cold and windy. Did you wear the scarf I knitted for you?"

"I went to a magical place and made many new friends."

"Also, I see you right now, you're crying very sadly."

"This doesn't look good, I'm so embarrassed."

"Tears are precious things. I hope that the boy I love most sheds tears because of the purest happiness."

"Oh? You're asking how I saw you crying?"

"Shh..."

"Wait for the sun to set and the moon to rise."

"Close your eyes and count silently in your mind."

"3...2...1..."

"I looked up!"

"I am right here in heaven, watching over you quietly!"

...

The second letter was dated late August.

Happy 21th birthday, brother!

"I see it. Although you've grown another year older, you're getting younger and younger."

"The wrinkles on my face have decreased a lot, and my hair is gradually turning black again."

Actually, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you yet.

"Your smile is beautiful, sunny, and handsome!"

"Brother, can I see your smile a little longer?"

...

Happy 22th birthday, brother!

"Is going to school tiring?"

"Actually, I don't like going to school at all."

"Want to go catch snails in the little garden?"

"I will use magic to make them crawl very, very slowly."

"You can reach out and grab it."

"Don't forget to feed it grass!"

...

...

Happy 30th birthday, brother!

"Congratulations on finding a relaxed job."

"Drinking tea and reading newspapers, occasionally enjoying a fairly long vacation."

"Don't earn much money? That's okay!"

"Yaoyao has opened Xiaoxi Cafeteria in all the universities in Yuncheng!"

"You're the largest shareholder, you must be making so much money you can't count it all."

"Now that you've established your career, it's time to think about settling down and starting a family."

"Have you met a girl you like? Is she pretty?"

"No matter how outstanding the other person is, please don't feel inferior."

"My brother, you are the most outstanding person in the world."

......

One letter a year, from youth to old age.

The boy's life was written in his neat handwriting.

Suddenly I couldn't see.

Because tears flowed like a burst dam, pouring down endlessly.

The girl sincerely said goodbye to everyone she knew.

But she never said goodbye to him.

Because she never left, she just changed her way of staying by the side of the boy she loved most.

......

The next day, in the ward.

Good morning, White Rose.

Good morning, Violet.

Zhou Xiaoman picked up a chair, sat down gracefully, and gazed at the girl on the hospital bed with a smile.

She greets everyone with a smile.

Including the person who had threatened her life.

"I never imagined that we would actually sit down and open up to each other."

Xu Xi raised her eyes and stared intently at the face she had wanted to kill countless times.

This was the first time she had seen Violet's true face.

She was very beautiful, and exuded an air of nobility and elegance.

It's completely impossible to associate her with the little Dieyi crying under the bridge in the book.

She was like a proud queen, and every smile and frown could captivate countless knights.

"You like my brother, don't you?"

Zhou Xiaoman smiled gently and nodded.

Why do you like him?

Zhou Xiaoman walked to the window, gently tucked her hair behind her ear, leaving Xu Xi with a lonely silhouette.

"If Dieyi had a relative like Mr. Xu, perhaps she wouldn't have had to enter the mortal world and could have had a childhood that wasn't happy, but was still something she could have."

"White Rose, I envy you so much. You have everything that Dieyi once longed for."

I envy you too.

Xu Xi said softly.

She envied Zhou Xiaoman for having endless time.

But she no longer had time.

"Tell me, what brings you here?"

Zhou Xiaoman withdrew her sadness and put on a smile again.

Xu Xi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.

Her pale, thin lips parted slightly, uttering a word of despair.

"After I leave, my brother will be entrusted to you."

Please take good care of him.

As she said those words, her heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

How much courage does it take to give up the boy you love most?

If she could still stay by her brother's side, she would never allow any other woman to have anything to do with him.

But she didn't have time.

In less than half a month, she will be separated from her brother for good.

That clumsy boy needs someone to accompany him through the rest of his life.

I chose Zhou Xiaoman because she not only had feelings for my brother, but was also very reliable.

As for her feelings for her brother, let her express them in the next life.

Zhou Xiaoman chuckled softly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

"I won't agree."

Why?

Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, and an incredulous look appeared on her pretty face.

She clearly likes her brother, so why did she reject his request?

"How dare a butterfly with such a filthy body defile Mr. Xu's pure soul?"

Zhou Xiaoman smiled gently.

"Sometimes, Dieyi also hopes that Mr. Xu can become a little more depraved, so that Dieyi can stand by Mr. Xu's side without any worries."

"But if Mr. Xu is really so depraved, no different from the men Dieyi has ever met, then she wouldn't have fallen for him."

"Therefore, Dieyi can only love the sea of ​​flowers, but cannot possess the sea of ​​flowers."

Xu Xi fell silent.

The reason my brother left in anger that night was because he felt he wasn't good enough for me.

Zhou Xiaoman was sincere towards her brother, but after learning that she liked him, she chose to withdraw because she felt she was not good enough for him.

"Then... are you comfortable entrusting him to other women?"

"Why hand it over to someone else?"

Zhou Xiaoman walked up to Xu Xi and looked at her with a light smile.

"He already has you, so I'm at ease."

"But I'm leaving soon!"

Xu Xi's voice rose a few decibels, and a hint of anger appeared on her pale face.

Zhou Xiaoman was so smart, how could she not know that she was already a dying person?

The reason she refused to be her brother's lover was to preserve the title of his first love and give him someone to entrust his life to in the future.

Now Zhou Xiaoman says that her brother already has her?

This is mocking her. So what if she has it? She's still going to die soon anyway.

Zhou Xiaoman simply smiled faintly and lightly touched the girl's forehead with her fingertips.

"He will follow you, like a bird returning to the sky, a fish returning to the sea; no one can stop him."
