"Thank you," Jade said.
Jade smiled, took her arm and shook it, just like when they were children, the two of them were squeezed together for a moment, and the next second, Jade hissed in pain.
Crystal subconsciously pushed up Jade's sleeves, seeing bruises and bruises.
Needless to say, we knew who hit her. The thirteen-year-old child already had self-esteem. She silently lowered her sleeves.
Was it because she was saving money to buy gifts that she got hit? Or was it because she ran to Central Town alone without telling her parents? Or is it just because her parents are in a bad mood? A child who is not taken seriously does not need a reason to be beaten. Jade scratched his head and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"As long as I think that you will come back to see me, I won't feel the pain."
"Sister..."
Jade said quietly, "Will you come back to see me?"
The girl's eyes flashed with hope.
"Sister, my birthday is coming soon... you missed it before, and it's not important anyway. This year... will you come back to City D to see me?"
Crystal was suddenly confused. Jade in her previous life also asked her to celebrate her eighteenth birthday with her. She agreed, but because she was out of town at the time, she couldn't rush back.
"——You agreed to celebrate my coming-of-age ceremony, but why didn't you come? You know that no one except you will remember my birthday anymore. You don't want me. Why don't you want me?"
Crystal didn't say anything. Jade lowered her head, looking a little sad.
"I knew you wouldn't pay attention to me."
She grabbed Crystal's arm, "Crystal, if you can't come to see me, forget it, but you must... don't forget me."
Two lines of tears flowed down Jade's face. She is still very young, but she is beautiful. Even if she has not been treated well, she is still beautiful. But beauty is for a girl who is sensitive to love. It's not a good thing; it made her mistakenly think that she can exchange beauty for love. But she didn't know that the beautiful skin was just a drug, which made her fall into the mire and couldn't extricate herself.
Crystal wiped her tears.
After a while, Nick called back and asked her why she hadn't gone back yet.
"The security in Central Town is not as good as in City A. It's so late, so you'd better come back early."
"I know..."
Crystal was busy with business.
"My sister came to Central Town to see me, so I was delayed a bit."
Nick smiled as if he was joking, and his voice floated out of the phone lightly.
"I still want to go. I'm waiting for you, Crystal. Don't come back so late."
Crystal nodded and looked up again; Jade was gone.
The red scarf she loved fell to the ground, covered in unsightly mud.
...
There are two transport beads in total, one she gave to Crystal, and one...
Jade took out another bracelet from her pocket and put it on her hand.
"Sister..."
"Sister?"
She smiled strangely.
"I'm still waiting for you~"
She stared at the expensive bead for a long time, then suddenly took off the bracelet and threw it into the mud.
"Crystal, you are wonderful. Live your life again, and there will really be more people around you."
She turned around to leave, but the next second, the small bead, rolled with mud, returned to her wrist, and the black rope held the girl. The snow-white wrist was tightened firmly, and the thick rope was embedded in the flesh, causing pain like tearing.
Jade trembled in pain, but when she raised her head, she met a pair of familiar eyes.
".. Crystal?"
She was a little anxious,
"Sister... what are you doing? You hurt me."
Crystal smiled faintly, "Don't pretend anymore."
Jade was stunned, "Sister, what did you say? Why should I pretend?"
Two quick and hard slaps, Jade was stunned, and looked at that person in disbelief.
It was a familiar face, always showing a good-tempered smile, making people think that she had no bottom line, no dignity. Dignity can be trampled on at will.
Jade fell to the ground, and Crystal pulled her out of the mud.
"Don't you have anything to say to me now?"
Referring to the two slaps just now, but also referring to other things.
Jade got up, feeling numb all over, "Thank you...sister..."
The woman smiled and touched her head, "Good child."
Was Crystal ashamed of Jade? She no longer wanted to think about whether Jade was ashamed of her. In fact, she still had a lot to say to Jade. They tacitly did not mention the matter of rebirth. Crystal's hand felt a little sore after beating the person. She was thinking of continuing to speak, but in the end, she said nothing; it was unnecessary.
She was too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Jade rushed over and hugged her as if she was doing the same thing before. Crystal was annoyed to death and squeezed her arm, not caring whether it was on the wound or on purpose.
"Do you know why I hate you?" Jade shook his head.
"Because you are disobedient,"
"Not only are you disobedient, but you also don't understand. Maybe this method of communication is suitable for you..."
Crystal raised his hand, "But I don't like it."
Jade stunned.
Taking advantage of her daze, Crystal pulled her hands out of her arms,
"I have no other intention of beating you today. I just want to tell you that you are wrong. I am your sister. If you think you can crawl on top of me, manipulate me, that's impossible."
"If you want me to continue to hate you and annoy me to the core, then just continue to pester me."
Jade didn't move, and Crystal was extremely annoyed. I really don't know how she was raised to be so virtuous. Did she just get used to it? She continued to speak, "On the contrary, if you obey and do as I say, maybe I will..."
She chuckled lightly.
Half-covering up is not a good habit in chatting, but for Jade, the false things may be what she longs for most, because only falsehoods can lead to success, and only then can there be possibility and possibility. Speaking of it, it feels fake.
The girl slowly let go of her hand.
