Chapter 891

"But then, I heard from Jin Xiaoxiao that you said that you 'helped my sister'. Not 'wanted to help', but actually 'helped'. At this moment, I became suspicious. How did you help your sister? What kind of failure did that sister have in front of you again?"

Xia Ling's expression was serious, listening to the deduction of the matter.

A gust of wind blew outside the window.

"I read my sister's diary. She wrote in the diary almost every day during elementary school. I learned about the situation at that time by reading the diary."

Xia Enxue took out her sister's diary from her schoolbag and showed it to Xia Ling.

"Actually, there are records about my sister's encounter with you and the subsequent exchanges. Your 'Protection Declaration' is also clearly recorded on it. By the way, my sister was aware of your kindness at the time, and she was very happy."

"……yes."

"but."

After finishing speaking, Xia Enxue put the diary on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

"No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the diary of the day you helped my sister. This diary clearly records even the smallest daily chores."

"...Is it... this..."

Xia Ling was surprised and opened his mouth wide.

"Is it because... I'm sorry? Elder sister, she really feels very outstanding... But she made a mistake, of course I feel ashamed..."

"Yes."

Xia Enxue nodded.

"It's natural to think this way. If it's really just like this, then there's nothing you can do. Without records, there's no way to investigate. Although I can ask you directly, but from Jin Xiaoxiao's report, I really don't think you will cooperate. Actually What's the situation? Since I'm here to find the truth, will you answer me?"

"..."

After pondering for a while, Xia Ling shook his head.

"That's right. So, the investigation stopped here. Because it is related to what happened eight years ago, it is natural to refuse. But——I suddenly had an inspiration."

As he spoke, Xia Enxue looked directly into Xia Ling's eyes.

"I had an idea. 'Some possibility.'"

Xia Ling showed a surprised expression, and Xia Enxue said to him: "Speaking of it, you, this is the story of my sister and I in the past."

Speaking of the beginning, Xia Enxue recalled "that day".

It was a rainy day.

Thick clouds cover the sky.

"As I said just now, I am a clumsy girl. No matter what I do, I always fail, and I am always careless. I also lost something that day, and I lost the big set used by the arithmetic teacher."

"..."

Xia Ling's expression changed.

"I burst into tears. After all, what was lost was the school's public property, something that everyone would use, and I was very anxious. This caused a big mess. Teachers and others who had met recently gathered together and everyone looked for it. Finally, we found it. My sister came to pick me up and comforted me and took me home. My sister also wrote about this day in her diary."

Xia Enxue opened the diary and showed Xia Ling that page.

"right here."

The way Xia Ling read that page... It should be said that he was a little flustered, and he was scratching his hair indiscriminately.

"in addition."

Xia Enxue took out a photo from her schoolbag.

"On that day, it was a boy who first searched for and finally found the set square. He was probably in a higher grade than me, a kind boy. This boy was—"

With that said, Xia Enxue handed over the photo.

"……it's him."

The person above is——

"...This...isn't it me?"

——Much shorter than now, with an innocent face, this is Xia Ling in the third grade of elementary school.

Xia Ling's eyes widened, and Xia Enxue asked him: "...Do you remember? What you helped that day was not my sister, but me."

"..."
