This question has existed for seventeen years, but only one person knows the answer.

But the man who had thrown her away that year couldn't answer the question.

If it was the girl's younger sister that the housekeeper had abandoned, perhaps she would have enjoyed her originally bright and beautiful life. The regret is that her fate was in the hands of others.

"Do you think you're wrong?"

"Do you regret making this decision?"

The girl stared at the man's face with her empty eyes, trying to get an answer stubbornly.

The butler's throat had been cut by the wind blade, and his body was covered with sand and sticky blood. He fell to the ground and was thrown into the flower fountain beside him. He could only utter faint and vague syllables with all his strength:

"I……"

He looked in the direction of the resentful ghost's finger and saw the black lacquered coffin. Inside was the person he had cared for his entire life, who was like a daughter to him.

"Um……"

The blood-red claws pierced his chest, and bright blood gushed out along his heart veins. After he groaned in unbearable pain, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and the butler died with a look of astonishment on his face.

But until the last moment, she didn't get the answer she wanted.

Maybe I feel it is no longer important, or maybe I am afraid to face the obsession deep in my heart.

The vengeful spirits have no emotions, and do not experience the joys and sorrows of normal people, because they are already dead. The only reason they exist is because they feel unwilling to accept the heavy burden in their hearts, and they are reborn for revenge.

Normal people will usually selectively forget the trivial things in their lives, and will only remember the face of the person who killed them very clearly.

The housekeeper died, and the sandstorms finally stopped.

When the mist cleared, a child of about six or seven years old was revealed. She was sitting in the ruins, crying and breaking down.

The girl no longer had that scary appearance. She looked like a normal person, wearing a piece of clothing that looked old and had a few square patches on it, but was unusually warm.

Her eyes were no longer hollow and dark, but round and bright, reflected by the aggrieved light, like grapes that had been cooled in ice water.

Then, the surrounding environment changed——

The entire rose villa with a gorgeous appearance was flattened. After the smoke dissipated, a small wooden house appeared out of thin air in its original location, and the rose maze became a cozy chicken coop and duck house.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but something seemed a little wrong.

There was no one around the wooden house, and the livestock cages were filled with transparent, motionless animals that didn't even open their mouths to make a sound, so they looked fake.

All the scenes here are like static photos frozen somewhere.

"This is the most profound image in her mind," Shao Yan said.

"All of this was her own fantasy. These were the things she remembered most and persisted in most during her lifetime and after her death."

"She is now the age she was when she died in life."

Some people lived to be seventeen or eighteen, but that was not her wish. Perhaps she had died the moment the housekeeper took her away from the old woman.

Physical death and mental death are always different.

Si Mo listened quietly, and then his fingers moved suddenly. He walked slowly over and squatted in front of the girl, who was already crying so hard that she seemed to want to squeeze all the tears out of her eyes.

Si Mo quietly wiped the tears from her cheeks, but they kept coming one after another and could never be wiped away completely.

"Let me do it." Shao Yan said softly.

After Si Mo pushed her away, he helped the girl up and placed his warm, dry palms on her gravel-and-muddy hands. The girl's crying gradually stopped.

She had to tilt her head back to see Shao Yan's face clearly, but after just one glance, the girl said with certainty: "I remember you."

"You said you were my brother. Right?"

Shao Yan smiled calmly and said, "Yes."

A few years after she was bullied in the manor, her brother, who had just reached adulthood and passed the academy assessment, finally returned home, only to learn from outsiders that he had a new sister.

At that time, the girl was being bullied by the servants, and the boy happened to see this scene.

Then he shone straight into the girl's eyes like the only shining light in the darkness.

He also held her hand in the same way at that time, lowered his eyes to look into her tearful eyes, and gently comforted her.

Shao Yan said: "I am your brother, and I will never let you be bullied again."

During the months he was there, the girl had the support of a brother.

He always said, why make things difficult for a little girl.

Perhaps it was this kind act that made the girl remember him. Even though she became a vengeful spirit and forgot many things, she always remembered that she must not hurt her brother.

He was the only person who had ever given her warmth in her hellish life.

"Can you guys take me home?"

Everything has settled, revenge has been taken, and her memory will forever stop at this year. The girl will not grow up, maybe she will live her life like this, or maybe she will go to another world early to see the person she misses most.

"Of course," Si Mo walked to Shao Yan, leaned over and rubbed her head affectionately, then picked up the little girl and asked, "Where is your home?"

The girl put one hand around his neck and pointed at the small wooden house not far away with the other hand, looking confused.

"I understand. My brother and I will take you home." Si Mo promised.

The original location of this small wooden house was on the edge of Rose Town. When the two men took her back, the girl was so tired from crying that she fell asleep on Si Mo's shoulder. Her tears wet a small piece of the clothes on his shoulder.

"We're here." Si Mo woke her up softly.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw the familiar wooden house at a glance. As soon as she was put down, she saw a person walking out of the door of the wooden house in the distance.

The old woman was leaning on a cane, hunched over, looking outside, as if she was waiting for her granddaughter who was playing outside to come home for dinner.

"Mammy!" The girl's innocent childish voice rang out, blending into the soft breeze. Both of them heard laughter, as if they saw her carefree childhood.

The girl staggered over and saw the nanny opening her arms. The scene gradually moved into the distance.

It seemed as if I sensed something, a breath of parting.

Si Mo felt a little uneasy. He held Shao Yan's hand tightly and called out, "Shao Yan."

He heard his own heartbeat, and it seemed like Shao Yan's as well.

"follow me."

Shao Yan just smiled and looked at him without saying anything.

He belongs to this world, and his fate is already determined.

"Hey, we'll see you later."

"Most definitely."

Si Mo was stunned for a few seconds, and felt a pain in his eyes. In the end, Shao Yan hugged him, and their chests pressed tightly together were evidence of their love.

—My lady, take care of yourself.

——I will wait for you next time and look forward to meeting you.
