Because there was no way to send Bai Li, who just passed out, back to Bai Li's house, so Jinwei had no choice but to take Bai Li back to his own home.

Although Bai Quer is about the same size and height as Jinwei, Jin Wei, who is not strong, still has to use his strength to carry Bai Quer home.

An Xin was still working in his study, Jin Wei heaved a sigh of relief.

Jinwei is not afraid that An Xin will get angry with him and take people home casually without saying a word, Jinwei feels that An Xin will not be angry with him for such a thing.What Jinwei was worried about was An Xin's questioning after seeing the unconscious Bai Oak.

Jinwei wanted to take the white oak into his room, but it was fine if it was flat. Facing the stairs, Jinwei was powerless at all.

Although he struggled to walk a few steps at first, in the end, Jinwei, who was tired and weak, staggered in the end, and even lost his balance and almost fell down the stairs with Bai Li.

With such a loud noise, it would be impossible not to disturb An Xin.

After a while, An Xin heard the sound and walked out of the study.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing that Jinwei, who was already thin and frail, was carrying a white oak that was almost the same size as him, An Xin couldn't help frowning.

"What's up with him?"

Anxin walked downstairs quickly, ran to Jinwei's side and wanted to take Bai Li, but Jinwei, who was full of small thoughts in his heart, stubbornly held Bai Li's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Just let me carry him. Uncle, you... just help me to support him."

Jinwei said softly, he hadn't had a good conversation with Anxin for several days, now Jinwei felt a little nervous.

"What's up with him?"

An Xin didn't insist on hearing the words, and stretched out his hand to help.

"Uh..." Jinwei pursed his lips, and after thinking for a while, he lied, "He... seemed to have a fever, and suddenly fainted halfway due to exhaustion. Because the place where he fainted It's closer to us, so I brought him back."

Jinwei didn't know if Anxin believed what he said, he peeped at Anxin's side face, thinking of Jinmu's words, Jinwei felt flustered in his heart.

"The bad guy... is right next to my brother, he lives in a field of flowers..."

——Would uncle really do such a thing?uncle he...

"Do you want to contact his parents?"

An Xin turned his head suddenly, Jinwei and An Xin looked at each other, making him turn his head away in panic.

"No, no need. It's so late, it's not good...wait for tomorrow! If Bai Li is not in good health tomorrow, call auntie and the others."

"...Well, if you think it's okay."

An Xin glanced at the white oak on Jinwei's body. Although he felt a sense of disobedience, he simply pretended not to know because Jinwei made it clear that he didn't want him to know.

"Uncle, thank you, I'll just take care of him myself from now on."

Finally, carrying Bai Li on his back, he walked back to the door of his own room. Jinwei, who didn't want An Xin to follow in, began to rush An Xin away.

Jinwei's words and deeds made An Xin know there was a ghost in it all at once, but he didn't intend to go deeper.

As long as what Jinwei does will not be detrimental to Jinwei himself, no matter what Jinwei wants to do behind his back, he will not care.

"Huh, I'm so tired."

Asking Bai Qu to lie down on the bed, Jinwei heaved a long sigh with difficulty.

Bai Qu, who had been sucked a little blood, looked pale now, and Jinwei was a little thankful that he stopped Jinmu in time, so Bai Qu didn't lose too much blood, otherwise, he would have to be sent to the health center for blood transfusion immediately. When things get serious, I'm afraid no matter how much you think about it, the matter will still reach An Xin's ears.

Jinwei didn't quite understand why Bai Li still went out at such a late hour.

Recently, the village has been very uneasy. Even Bai Qu himself said that the villagers would lock their doors and windows tightly at night and dare not go out. So why did Bai Qu go out at this time?

After thinking for a while, Jinwei suddenly remembered what Bai Li said to him that day.

"Although I can't come to see you in a fair manner, I will try to prove your innocence!"

Almost for a moment, Jinwei suddenly understood.

At that time, although he thought that Bai Li was comforting him, it was only at this moment that Jin Wei suddenly realized.

Bai Li didn't just talk about it, he wanted to use himself as a bait to catch the murderer to prove Jinwei's innocence.

— But, who was the person who texted me at that time?

Jinmu's language organization ability is very poor, and Jinwei believes that it should not be Jinmu's hair, not to mention that he didn't have a mobile phone at all before Jinwei was taken in by Anxin.Calls are made by the phone in the school dormitory, so Jinwei believes that it is impossible for Jinmu to know his mobile phone number.

It can't be Jinmu, and it can't be the victim Bai Li, so who is it?

"no, do not want!"

Bai Li suddenly screamed on the bed, and Jin Wei, who was deep in thought, was taken aback.

Seeing Bai Li's terrified look, Jin Wei felt guilty.

"I'm sorry, for someone like me, you have suffered such a terrible memory."

If Bai Qu asked him who the person who attacked him was after waking up, how should he answer then?

Faced with such a person who would wholeheartedly treat him well, Jinwei didn't want to and dare not say that the person who attacked him was his own brother.If it is said, it means that Jinwei's secret will also be exposed. If it is exposed, probably...

I can't be friends anymore.

"……Well!"

Bai Li's body moved, and Jin Wei hurried over.

"here is……"

Bai Li looked around, the moment he saw Jinwei, his body visibly trembled, and he froze for a moment, when he saw who the person in front of him was, Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Ugh, I'm so dizzy...Gunwei...Thank you for saving me."

Shirakawa slowly reached out and grabbed Jinwei's hand.

Jin only felt that Bai Quer's cool hand was covered with sweat.

"I should say thank you. I didn't expect you to use yourself as bait to catch the murderer. I put you in danger. I'm sorry, if at that time...you..."

"It's nothing, because you didn't take your own safety into consideration when I was in danger and rushed over to save me right away?" Bai Li smiled weakly, "Speaking of which, the one who attacked me at that time... Is it human?"

Jin Wei was a little guilty all of a sudden, he quickly pulled out a smile.

"What are you talking about? Of course it's a human, isn't there a ghost?"

"but!"

Bai Li tried to recall the face of the person who attacked him, relying on the light of Jinwei's cell phone, he could see it clearly.

It was a face that was so rotten that the flesh and bones were glued together, and one could even vaguely see his brain inside.Just getting a little closer, the strong rancid smell hits the face, which is unbearable at all.

Those red eyes seemed to be about to burst out, and the two sharp and thick fangs looked like wild animals, and even the breath from his mouth was full of stench.

At the moment when the fangs pierced the flesh, for the first time Bai Qu felt that death was so close to him.

Although at the beginning he was arrogant and high-spirited, he felt that he would not be afraid no matter what came, and he was determined to find out the murderer who committed the crime and let Jinwei be blamed, but when he saw the true face of the murderer At that moment, although Bai Li didn't want to admit it, he really regretted it.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't mind my own business.

If I knew it earlier, I would have listened to my parents and stayed far away from Jinwei.

Such thoughts kept popping up in his head, and he even thought that if he could escape from death this time, he would definitely never associate with Jinwei again.

So at that time, when Bai Li saw Jinwei rushed to save him regardless of his own safety, he felt an unspeakable sense of guilt in his heart.

"By the way, how did you repel that murderer back then?"

Bai Qu thought of a very important question, how could Jin Wei, who was thinner than Bai Qu, have the ability to beat the opponent away.

Hibiscus was surprised.

He forgot about the problem.

Jinwei lowered his head and thought for a while before finally thinking of a reasonable explanation.

Jinwei smiled awkwardly and said: "Uh, it's not considered repelling... I just took a wallet to attract his attention and threw it into the distance. While he was chasing after me, I ran behind your back Lost……"

"...Is that so..."

Bai Li nodded and yawned, but did not question it.

"You sleep here tonight, you can go back tomorrow."

"Well, you should rest early, too."

Bai Li didn't make any excuses, he was still a little weak because of the night, he was even more sleepy, and he fell asleep after a while.Compared with Bai Quer, Jin Wei, who was so preoccupied, couldn't sleep at all.

*

I don't know what's going on recently, Jinwei will become sleepy at night, but will be very sleepy during the day.

No matter how late he is, Jinwei has somewhat noticed that recently his routine has become the same as that of An Xin, and he thinks that maybe this is a precursor to becoming a vampire.

Giving all the medicines to Jinmu made Jinwei a little worried at first. At first he even thought about asking Anxin for some more medicines, but once he thought that he might face Anxin's questioning later, he couldn't help but give up.

At first, Jinwei was a little worried about whether he would be as thirsty for blood as before, but probably because he had stopped taking the medicine several times before, his body had already gotten used to it.Although thirsty will still be thirsty, but it is already within the tolerable range.

Although Jinwei felt a little scared that he might become a vampire if this went on like this, he also felt a little indifferent.

Since he was able to endure not drinking blood after these few days, it may mean that he can endure not drinking other people's blood in the days to come.

Jinwei doesn't care about becoming a vampire as long as it doesn't hurt others.

Anyway, the people he cares about the most don't care about him...

I don't know if it's a simple dream or a memory, Jinwei dreamed about the past.

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Mu, stop playing and come to eat."

From the house not far away came the mother's gentle calling, while the father stood at the door and waved gently.Not far away, there were two three or four-year-old children who were dressed exactly the same, looked exactly the same, and also had bright smiles on their faces, running over wagging.

"dad!"

The two children ran to their father's feet together, and then reached out and hugged one of their father's legs at the same time.

——This... is my childhood memory?

Maybe it's been too long, and Jinwei doesn't have much impression of these memories.

"Daddy, guess who we are!"

"Hmm... You guys are wearing the same clothes on purpose to play a prank, right? The clothes Mom gave you this morning aren't the same clothes, right?"

The father smiled softly, bent down and picked up the two children together.

"Hey hey! Daddy guess!"

The two children shouted in unison again.

"Then... Dad is holding Xiaowei in his left hand, and Xiaomu in his right hand. Isn't that right?"

The moment they heard the answer, the children laughed happily and clapped their hands happily.

"Wrong, wrong!"

"Dad guessed wrong again!"

The two children screamed happily, and their clear laughter like copper bells made their parents laugh in unison.

"It's really a headache, you two little guys look exactly the same, even Mom and Dad can't tell the difference."

"Hey! Dad guessed wrong, I want to punish Dad!"

The young Xiao Jinwei shouted happily, while Xiao Jinmu on the other side happily clapped her hands in agreement.The parents who heard this were full of helplessness.

"Then what do you want?"

After washing her hands, the mother took off her apron, and put her arms around Xiao Jinmu, who then stretched out her arms and hugged her mother's neck.

"I want a bear doll!"

Little Jinwei stretched out his fat baby finger to a bear sticker on the wall.

"So what does Kogure want?"

mother asked softly.

Little Jinmu didn't think much, and replied, "I want to be like my brother!"

The child's simple answer made the parents laugh out loud.

"Does Kogure really like brother?"

"Yeah! I like my brother the most!"

Xiao Jinmu raised her head and smiled brightly.

Maybe it's because this memory has long been buried in the torrent of time, Jinwei never thought that Jinmu, who later became estranged from him, didn't hate him as much as Jinwei imagined.

"Huh? Xiaogure's favorite is not mom and dad. What about Xiaowei? Xiaoyu likes Xiaogu most or mom and dad?"

It was his father who asked this question, and Xiao Jinwei tilted his head when asked, but without any hesitation, he quickly said the answer in his heart.

"I like Uncle Ann the most!"

Uncle Ann?

...Are you referring to Anxin?

Jinwei was not very sure, and was even more surprised that he might have had contact with Anxin when he was young.

At this time, Jinwei noticed that the moment the little Jinmu heard this sentence, his face suddenly wrinkled, and he stared at Xiao Jinwei with very angry eyes.

That gaze made Jinwei feel scared, but for the young Jinwei at that time, he didn't realize how cold the gaze was.

"Wow..."

The next moment, Xiao Jinmu began to cry loudly.

Xiao Jinmu kept yelling "I like my brother the most, but my brother doesn't like me", no matter how her parents persuaded her, she couldn't stop crying.In the end, Xiao Jinmu even started to shout, "My brother doesn't like me, and I don't want to like my brother anymore."

The memories ended here, and then everything fell into darkness, and then another scene changed.

"Xiao Wei, who do you think is here?"

The father's voice came from outside the door, and Xiao Jinwei, who looked about four or five years old, ran out happily when he heard the sound, while Xiao Jinmu ran into the room with a sulky face.

"Uncle Ann!"

Little Jinwei with a bright smile didn't need to guess at all, he already knew who was coming.

"Come."

The person Xiao Jinwei ran to was dressed in black, his appearance and voice were exactly the same as An Xin's, no, that person was An Xin himself.

An Xin bent down, hugged Xiao Jinwei, and Xiao Jinwei happily put his arms around An Xin's neck, and rubbed against An Xin's bearded face with that soft smiling face.

The painful but itchy touch made Xiao Jinwei laugh "giggle".

"Xiao Wei, you like Uncle so much, aren't you afraid that Dad will be jealous?"

The father asked in a doting voice, making it clear that the lifeless voice was full of love for little Jinwei.

"Xiao Wei can't help it!" Xiao Jinwei pursed her mouth, looking cute with a smile on her chubby face. "Who told me to be my uncle's bride in the future!"

——!

Such a simple sentence is like a key, unlocking the box that blocks the memory.

"Xiao Wei really likes Uncle."

"Hmm! I like my uncle the most! When I grow up, I will be my uncle's bride!"

"I can't help it. When Xiaowei grows up, you will forget Uncle, and you will not like Uncle."

"No! Even when I grow up, I will remember Uncle, and I will continue to like Uncle!"

"Well then, let's make a promise. If you still remember my affairs and like me after Xiaowei, you will be my bride, okay?"

——It turned out that the "child" was me.Why?Why do I forget such an important memory?

Suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head, the picture in front of him suddenly went dark again, and then another scene that Jin Wei had no impression of appeared.

"Xiao Wei, I have to go."

An Xin hugged Xiao Jinwei and sat under the tree. Xiao Jinwei, who was still scratching happily with a smile, turned his head the moment he heard these words.

Although she was still young, Xiao Jinwei vaguely felt that this sentence was not as simple as the usual farewell before going home.

"Where is Uncle going?"

"I don't know, but I probably won't see you again in the future."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinwei's face suddenly became mournful, and tears came out all at once.

"Why? Didn't Uncle agree to let me be Uncle's bride? Did Uncle go back on his word? Did Uncle hate Xiaowei?"

Tears were streaming down, Xiao Jinwei tightly hugged An Xin's neck with her small hands, lest An Xin would leave him just like that.

"I, no matter how long it takes, I like Xiaowei the most. But, if you continue to stay by Xiaowei's side, Xiaowei, you will be in danger. No matter what happens, I will protect you, and I don't want You are in danger."

An Xin said softly, but Xiao Jinwei refused to let him. He kept shaking his head buried in An Xin's neck.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want my uncle to leave me! Woooooo..."

Xiao Jinwei cried sadly, but An Xin was determined.

"You'll forget me, forget everything about me. Go to sleep now, and when you wake up, you won't remember me, baby."

With a voice that seemed to have hypnotic power, Xiao Jinwei, who had been crying a moment ago, suddenly calmed down.It's just that even after falling asleep, Xiao Jinwei's tears still didn't stop.

Then, after handing the little Jinwei who had fallen asleep peacefully to Jinwei's father, Anxin left, and he never appeared in front of Jinwei's eyes until something happened at Jinwei's house.

Jinwei can clearly feel the feeling of heartache, and the memory hive that has always felt a little vacant seems to be filled.

Thinking about it now, Jinwei realized that his memory before the age of five was actually intermittent, but at that time he was perfunctory by his parents.When I grew up, my memory of my childhood began to fade, and finally I no longer remembered this kind of thing...

When the memories ended, Jinwei woke up.

Jinwei still doesn't know whether what Jinmu said is true or not, but he has made up his mind, he won't think about it anymore.

Jinwei decided to believe in An Xin, the man who once said in the book "willing to give his life for this child".
