Chapter 13: brother and sister
I saw Xu Zimian hugging his legs, huddled on the sofa like a cat, watching the silent TV program.
Xu Jinming felt sour in his heart, but it didn't feel right at all.
Thinking back on the conversation with your sister, is your tone too resolute and ruthless? She was so frightened that even if she was watching TV, she dared to turn her voice down to zero, lest it disturb her.
Xu Zimian glanced at Xu Jinming who was going downstairs, and asked suspiciously, "Is Brother Ming hungry?"
Xu Jinming sat beside Xu Zimian, hesitated for a few seconds, and still hugged his soft and glutinous sister on his lap.
Thin lips parted, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Why don't you turn on your voice while watching TV? Yes... Did I scare you?"
Xu Zimian shook his head, and replied obediently, "This is what I saw, and it looks good without a sound."
Xu Jinming turned to the TV and found that the animal world was playing on the TV.
Thinking that her sister is only six years old, what she is watching is not the science of animals, but all kinds of cute animals, and it's okay to have no sound.
But it is undeniable that the reason why my sister turned her voice to zero was because the words she left before returning to the house were too harsh.
Xu Jinming pinched her sister's bony arm, presumably she had not had a good life in the two years she lost, and she was used to the trembling life.
Is my sister afraid of causing her own unhappiness, being kicked out of the house, and being alone again?
Full of apology filled Xu Jinming, and he was almost breathless. He slowly tightened his hands, feeling his sister's warm body temperature.
"elder brother?"
Xu Zimian noticed the lingering sadness around her brother, and stretched out her little hand to hug her brother back.
Xu Jinming will not express his guilt with gorgeous words. If he wants to be good to a person, he will only express it with actions.
He rolled up his fat sleeves, looked energetic, and said with a smile: "It's twelve o'clock, Xiao Mian, do you want noodles? Or should we order takeaway? I can't cook other dishes, but tomato and egg noodles are a must. try it?"
Xu Zimian nodded happily and replied, "Okay!"
Xu Jinming, who hadn't cooked for a long time, was in a hurry to cook the noodles.
After finally making two bowls of warm tomato egg noodles, he looked at his sister expectantly, and asked nervously, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Xu Zimian picked up the noodles, snorted, and rolled them into his mouth.
The soup is wrapped in noodles, with the sweetness and sourness of tomato, and the fragrance of eggs, and the deliciousness dances on the tip of the tongue.
Although this bowl of hot noodles is simple, Xu Jinming's intentions are everywhere.
Xu Zimian gave a thumbs up, with dazzling stars in his eyes, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
With the approval of his sister, Xu Jinming slowly exhaled.
Sitting across from my sister, I also started to enjoy noodles. But compared to the food in the bowl, he felt that just watching his sister enjoying the food was enough to eat.
The well-fed brothers and sisters collapsed on the sofa in the same posture, occasionally looking at each other, not knowing why they were happy, and giggling in unison.
Xu Zimian yawned, two weary tears overflowing from his eyes, and asked, "Is my brother writing a novel?"
She wants to get to know her brother.
He started writing before his sister was lost. But my sister was still young at the time, so she probably couldn't remember things.
"Well, it's been almost four years since I wrote it."
"Wow!" Xu Zimian exclaimed, "Brother Ming is amazing! What story is he writing?"
Xu Jinming thought that he had no idea of writing anyway, so he might as well accompany his sister and tell stories to her.
"The first novel I wrote was "The Detective: Rumorous Words". The male protagonist Shang Huang used to be a policeman. After his girlfriend disappeared, Shang Huang chased the prisoner for a year, and in the end he only found his girlfriend's body. Retire."
"The Detective · Rumors"!
Of course Xu Zimian knew about this novel. When she was in high school, almost all the boys in her class were reading this novel, and they could often hear them discussing the plot.
It's a pity that she gave all her spare time to music at that time and didn't read the novel.
Unexpectedly, it was written by Brother Ming!
Xu Zimian immediately became very interested, and asked, "Then what?"
Looking at the curiosity in her sister's eyes, she is really interested in the novel she wrote!
Xu Jinming was also interested, and surrounded his sister, so that her head could rest on his arm, "Three years later, Shang Juan received a mysterious letter, and he glanced at the messenger, his face very much like his girlfriend. ."
"But he can be sure that the body he found three years ago is indeed his girlfriend!"
…
Xu Jinming originally wrote novels, and he told stories with ups and downs, which was very interesting.
The most important thing is that the small audience is very fascinated, which makes Xu Jinming's interest in storytelling surge.
Looking at his sister's longing eyes, Xu Jinming suddenly remembered his original intention of writing, didn't he just want to present the story in his heart to readers?
But I don't know when, his original intention changed, and it became writing for the sake of writing.
Looking back on the "Tomb of Heaven: Xingyuan" that he is writing, the story line has long deviated from his original intention and has become dissimilar, and he can't complain that readers are boring.
The depleted source of inspiration, the fresh spring water pours in again.
Xu Jinming's eyes burst into infinite light!
He picked up Xu Zimian excitedly, and took his sister around a few times. He smiled and said, "Little Cotton, you are my inspirational goddess!"
Xu Zimian didn't know the mental journey that Xu Jinming had just experienced. She was just happy for her brother: "Brother Ming, did you think of a more interesting story?"
"Yeah!" Xu Jinming couldn't wait to record the stories that emerged in his mind.
Unable to leave her sister alone in the living room to watch silent TV shows, Xu Jinming carried her sister into his bedroom and put it on the small sofa.
Xu Zimian looked curiously at his brother's room, which was light blue as a whole.
The flowers in the vase are delicate and beautiful. It seems that my mother often changes flowers, and she must be looking forward to her son to come home often.
Xu Jinming took a few books and a small blanket and walked back to Xu Zimian, shook off the small blanket to cover his sister's body, put the book on her sister's side, squatted down and said, "What book you want to read, go to the bookcase yourself. Find."
"it is good!"
Xu Zimian replied obediently, picked up a book at random, and found that it was a picture book. I think it was the book that my brother chose for her because she was worried that she was not yet literate.
With the sound of his sister flipping through the book, Xu Jinming's fingertips danced on the keyboard.
He already knew the misunderstanding he had entered, and decided to revise the first chapter and start over!
After revising the first ten chapters without a pause, Xu Jinming only felt that his whole body was full of water, and inspiration was still emerging, urging him to continue writing.
He uploaded the new top ten chapters and pinned the newly edited comment:
【Thank you for your continued support! I will temporarily stop the update and focus on polishing the plot. Please look forward to the new "Heavenly Tomb Xingyuan"! 】
As expected of Netherworld, as soon as it was released, comments appeared.
"I read the new first ten chapters, is this a revision!? Isn't this a rewrite?!"
"Ahhh! After reading the new first ten chapters, I'm looking forward to the follow-up story."
"This is my favorite Heaven Tomb series!"
"What happened to Netherworld? The before and after comparison of the first ten chapters is completely like a different person."
Xu Jinming replied with a smile: [Because I found my inspirational goddess! 】
After replying, Xu Jinming looked at his sister with tenderness in his eyes.
Xu Zimian seemed to feel something, looked up at her brother, and showed a sweet smile.
