[That year, he was sixteen and they were fifteen.]

"Guess who I am?"

The girl with twin ponytails suddenly burst into the room, winked and asked playfully,

The young man who was carving something with a knife in the room turned around helplessly when he heard the sound.

"A Ping, you are already a grown-up girl, why are you still barging into your brother's room like before?"

"No fun, you guessed it right away. Ping'er and I made a bet on whether you can tell us apart this time."

Ah Ping pouted, stretched out her legs to close the door, rushed forward and hung on He Li's back, and asked in a crisp voice:

"Then guess whether I'm betting on yes or no."

He Li didn't even raise his head, and didn't pay attention to the girl's intimate behavior. He continued to carve the object in his hand and said casually:

"A Ping is the best, she must be betting on success,"

"You guessed wrong this time. I bet it's impossible."

Ah Ping's face was immediately filled with a smug smile. She stretched out her fingers to twist He Li's hair, and when he didn't react, she rubbed his earlobe.

"Oh... Ping is awesome,"

He Li's response was flat and his tone was perfunctory, and his attention was obviously still focused on his hands.

"Woo~"

Ah Ping was a little unhappy, puffed up her cheeks and complained loudly:

"Brother, why are you like this? I'm talking to you, at least look up at me."

Unexpectedly, this guy still didn't even raise his head, just busy with the object in his hand:

"Don't make a fuss, it will be done soon,"

"Yeah, yeah,"

Ah Ping saw that even after she said that, the other party still acted the same way. She was so angry that her teeth itched. She stared at the other party's serious profile, bared her teeth, and thought about how to bite a piece of flesh off the other party's face.

After a while,

"alright,"

He Li let out a long sigh and placed the carving knife on the table.

I didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to make, but I finally did it.

"Humph~"

Ah Ping was sitting next to him with a book in her hand. Seeing this, she snorted coldly, moved her butt and turned to the side, with her back to He Li.

He Li looked at Ah Ping, whose every move showed "hurry up and comfort me", and couldn't help but chuckle. He bumped her shoulder and asked softly:

"Aren't you curious about what your brother did?"

"I'm not curious, don't make noise, I'm reading a book."

Ah Ping turned the page with a stern face, puffed up her cheeks, and was obviously still in a bad mood.

"hehe,"

He Li smiled and shook his head, and did not go forward to coax him. He just put the carved object to his lips.

"..."

After waiting for a long time without any comfort, Ping finally couldn't sit still anymore, closed the book, turned around angrily,

But his attention was instantly drawn to the thing He Li placed on his lips.

At the same moment when Ah Ping turned around, He Li blew the wooden flute beside his mouth.

A melodious voice sounded,

Ah Ping suddenly felt her eyes flashing, and the room she was in suddenly turned into a cliff, and the wooden chair she was sitting on turned into rocks on the edge of the cliff.

The sound of the flute changed, and suddenly there was flowing water on the cliff in front of me, with mist rising from the water surface, like a fairyland.

Ah Ping closed her eyes and felt the tranquility with her heart.

What he played was not a tune, but the fresh breeze between the cliffs, the freely floating clouds, and the sparkling stars.

The song ends,

Ah Ping seemed to be still in shock and murmured, "What is this?"

"This is called a flute. You've always wanted to learn how to play flute. This is my gift to you."

He Li smiled and handed the flute over.

He used to play music with leaves, and every time Ping heard it, she would pester him to learn it.

But how to teach the leaves? He Li thought of making a flute for her.

I didn't expect that this thing looks easier than it is difficult to do.

The size, distance, and even thickness of the various sound holes are very particular.

He Li could only cut a lot of bamboo in the back mountain and try them one by one with his natural musical sense.

Of course, the result was unexpectedly successful.

Ah Ping took the recorder and seemed to be still not reacting.

Put it in front of your eyes and observe it carefully.

"Is this really for me?"

There was some disbelief in his words.

Until my finger touched a scale, I turned around and saw that it was engraved with -

To my sister: A Ping,

Only then did I know that it was really for myself.

Unable to control her emotions for the moment, she rushed forward, clamped her legs tightly around He Li's waist, wrapped her arms around his neck, raised her head and bit his face:

"I love you so much, brother,"

"Haha, as long as you like it,"

He Li held her small buttocks and responded with a smile:

Ah Ping didn't mind He Li blowing it before, she imitated He Li's previous posture and tried to blow it by her lips.

This time, the song He Li just played was almost complete.

"A Ping, you are very talented," He Li was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, thank you brother."

...

at night,

"Guess who I am,"

A cold but familiar voice sounded outside the house, revealing a sense of helplessness in the words.

If Aping hadn't asked me to do so, I wouldn't have played such a childish game.

"Hey Ping'er, what are you doing standing outside? It's cold outside, come in quickly."

He Li opened the door.

Ping'er, as usual, was hesitant and reluctant to walk into He Li's room.

Taking the tea handed over by He Li, he said lightly: "A Ping likes that gift very much."

"I know, I could see that she kissed me at that time,"

He Li touched his face, smiling.

"Um,"

Seeing the smile on He Li's face, Ping'er nodded and said nothing more.

She recalled He Li's every move for the so-called flute over the past few months.

Perhaps to give Ah Ping a surprise, he always left home in the late night to cut bamboo in the back mountain.

If you encounter wild animals on the way, you can either avoid them or kill them.

He also suffered a lot of injuries during this period, and I helped him bandage them a lot.

It is also common to see him blowing air repeatedly to try to find the position of a sound hole, and then becoming dizzy due to excessive lack of oxygen.

I have seen all of this, so naturally I feel more or less distressed.

However, when Ping'er thought that the other party was doing this out of love for her sister, the words of dissuasion got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

You can't always advise people not to give gifts to others,

As for whether I have...

Tsk, I don’t want it!

"Ping'er, this is for you,"

He Li took out a long box from under the bed. It was much longer than the flute he gave to Ah Ping during the day.

"I...I have one too?"

Ping'er's mind was suddenly in a mess, and she took the box with both hands without knowing why.

But even though his hands were honest, his mouth remained firm:

"The flute you gave to Ah Ping was so short, but mine is so long. Aren't you afraid that I will go and complain to her?"

I was happy but also a little disappointed.

Although I am also good at playing the flute, I don’t like music as much as Ah Ping.

It can even be said that I am completely indifferent.

But this is also his intention, so I just do it reluctantly...

With this thought in mind, Ping'er opened the box.

Just one glance, and I can't look away anymore——

It was a red tasseled spear.

Looking at the dazed Ping'er in front of him, He Li smiled as if to say "just as I expected".

Ping'er took out the spear and stroked the patterns on it. She liked it more and more.

When she felt the gun handle, Ping'er lowered her head and searched carefully.

As expected, there was also a carving on it——

To my sister: Ping'er

"hehe,"

Ping Er chuckled twice, and kept stroking these words, her fingers unable to move away.

He Li pointed outside the house and said:

"Try?"

"it is good,"

Ping Er finally looked away, and made a gun flower, looking heroic.

The two walked outside, and He Li picked up a wooden stick, put his other hand behind his back, and swung at her:

"bring it on,"

"it is good,"

Although He Li had one hand behind his back, Ping'er still did not dare to be careless and stepped forward with a gun.

The wooden stick and the red tasseled spear collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

The two of them moved faster and faster, and the crisp sounds naturally became more and more frequent.

"No more fighting,"

Halfway through the fight, Ping'er suddenly stopped, touched the gun, and showed a somewhat distressed expression.

Then he walked into the room and carefully placed the red tasseled spear in the gun case.

Seeing He Li's puzzled expression, Ping'er explained softly: "You won't need this for future sparring. Take it out when you practice with your spear."

"Hehe, there's no need to be so precious. If you break it, I can just make you another one..."

He Li scratched his head with a smile, obviously not expecting Ping'er to value this gun so much. He immediately said that if it broke, he could make another one.

"Different..."

Unexpectedly, Ping'er shook her head stubbornly, walked forward, leaned forward,

chirp~

"Thank you brother... I will come to learn shooting from you tomorrow night,"

He said thank you very quickly, blushed, and trotted away with the gun case in his arms.

He Li was left alone in the room.

He touched his cheek, feeling the slight moisture that was still there, and smiled:

"What a sister who says one thing and means another."
