Ning Meng's head was throbbing with pain. An unfamiliar memory seemed to be forcing its way into her mind, causing her to hold her head and frown.
Ning Ke, who was standing beside her, panicked when she saw her. Her voice rang in her ears, but it sounded as if it came from a faraway place.
"Sis, what's wrong?"
"Sis, don't scare me."
"Sis …"
Ning Meng felt as if the whole world was falling apart, as if it was about to collapse. Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her shoulder, and a familiar scent entered her nostrils.
It was him.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt a sense of security, calming her mind.
She turned her head, and the moment she saw the man, Huo Beichen reached out and held her shoulders, pulling her into his arms.
The man looked at Ning Ke warily, his voice low and murderous. "Who asked you to bring her here?"
Ning Ke stood there in panic, her mouth open, wanting to say something, but she did not know what to say.
Huo Beichen turned around and walked out with Ning Meng. As he walked, he turned back to look at Ning Ke. "Stay away from her in the future!"
After saying this, he carried Ning Meng and walked out of the door. Then, he got into the car, leaving Ning Ke standing there.
She looked at the school gate blankly. She wanted to say … 'I just wanted my sis to acknowledge me. I really did not expect her to have such a big reaction …'
Unfortunately, the school that was on vacation was empty at this moment. No one was willing to listen to her.
Ning Ke clenched her fists tightly.
Suddenly, she hugged her knees and squatted on the ground.
Why did her sis not acknowledge her?
If her sis did not remember her, then what was the point of her living?
These thoughts rang in her ears like crazy, playing in a loop in her mind, causing her body to tremble …
When Su Ye heard the bodyguard's words and rushed over, Huo Beichen had already left with Ning Meng, leaving Ning Ke alone.
Her whole body was trembling.
Su Ye took two steps forward. She seemed to have heard his footsteps. She raised her head abruptly and called out, "Sister!"
Unfortunately, after seeing the person in front of her, Ning Ke's eyes slowly dimmed.
Su Ye walked up to her.
His leg was still injured, so he walked with a slight incline. He pressed Ning Ke's shoulders with both hands, frowned and said, "Ning Ke, what the hell are you doing?"
"Why did you bring Madam here? Do you want to tell Madam about Boss and your sister's past and make her give up again?! "
"Last time when you saved Madam, I thought you had gotten better. I didn't expect you to relapse in the solid state! Boss is very angry now. He'd rather you never see Mrs. Huo again. "
Su Ye's words made Ning Ke raise her head in a daze.
She seemed to understand Su Ye's words, but at the same time, she did not seem to understand them at all.
Moreover, she did not want to tell Su Ye that Mrs. Huo was her older sister. How could this person not even recognize her older sister?
Ning Ke smiled bitterly and slowly stood up.
When Su Ye saw her like this, she scolded angrily, "Ning Ke, she passed away eight years ago! Can't you just walk out of it? Can't you just live for yourself?! Is she the meaning of your life?! "
Was the meaning of life her?
Yes.
Ning Ke lowered her eyes.
No one knew that for the past eight years, she had treated herself as her older sister. That was how she had managed to survive. She had originally been misanthropic and lowly.
She did not have the right to live like that.
She had lived like her older sister. She had drawn comics, published albums, and even invested in Chinese comics. That was her older sister's dream.
But now, her older sister had returned. She could do those things on her own.
Her eight years of perseverance had become a joke.
Ning Ke smiled bitterly.
She could not think of a reason to live.
Her eyes were a little red. Just as she was about to shut herself up in self-loathing, something her older sister had said a few days ago suddenly flashed in her mind …
She was like a person who had fallen off the cliff and was holding on to the last straw of hope.
Yes, her older sister still had a dream that had not been fulfilled.
She wanted to help her older sister …
Ning Ke suddenly raised her head, and her eyes gradually lit up.
Huo Beichen carried Ning Meng into the car.
Her quiet appearance made Huo Beichen very nervous. He patted her back lightly and asked, "Meng Meng, are you okay?"
Ning Meng's mouth moved, but she did not say anything.
When she finally calmed down, she struggled to sit properly and said, "I'm fine."
Huo Beichen did not let out a sigh of relief. Instead, he looked at her carefully. "Did you remember something?"
Ning Meng looked at his eyes.
The man's dark eyes were as deep as the night sky. It was hard to read.
Ning Meng's heart slightly panicked. She tightened her jaw and said, "No."
Huo Beichen was rarely able to see his emotions. He let out a sigh of relief and grabbed her hand. "Don't think too much. Let bygones be bygones."
Ning Meng nodded.
Let bygones be bygones.
She tilted her head and looked out of the car.
The city was in the midst of development, and there were many changes every year. Everywhere was strange and yet familiar at the same time.
She smiled bitterly to hide her feelings.
Huo Beichen saw that she was not talking and felt a little uneasy. He tried to find a topic to talk about. "Is there no one in your group chat today?"
As soon as he said this, Ning Meng took out her phone and opened the group chat. She saw that Ning Zhi had just sent a message.
Ning Zhi: [I'm so sad.]
Qi Shan: [What happened to you?]
Ning Zhi: [You're so handsome, but you can't kiss your own face.]
[!!!!]
After sending this message, the group became very quiet.
Ning Meng typed: [Do you know what the highest level of shamelessness is? Ningzhi]
Ning Zhi: [What does it look like?]
Ning Meng: [Your appearance.]
Ning Zhi: […]
Ning Zhi: [You're my sister. How can you say that?]
Ning Meng smiled and did not say anything else.
Soon, they arrived at Yuxiu Garden.
The two of them got out of the car and returned home.
"Mengmeng, what do you want to eat?"
Ning Meng waved her hand. "Whatever."
"Mengmeng, I'm craving tomato egg noodles." Huo Beichen paused for a moment.
Ning Meng's footsteps paused as she walked toward the bedroom. Her back was facing Huo Beichen, and her face was half bright and half dark, just like her current mood.
Her lips suddenly curled up. "Oh, I don't want to do it."
After saying this, she went into the bedroom.
Huo Beichen looked at her back and paused for a moment.
Ning Meng went into the bedroom and sat on the sofa, massaging her temples to relieve the swelling pain.
Suddenly, someone appeared behind her. Huo Beichen's warm hand was pressing on her acupuncture point, and his deep voice could be heard. "Did you remember something?"
