The Wheel of Chronos

Chapter 43 Recalling the Purple Iris

Time flies, Xue Lun has a heavy classwork in the highest military academy, and as a top student who the school focuses on and cultivates, she has a full schedule every day, except for half of the time for dinner in the evening. Hours, as time to talk to family members.Almost all of the 25 minutes of the half hour were taken up by Josephine.Although Josephine is also a student and has homework, she seems to be able to handle the homework of Eton College with ease.Outside of schoolwork, she will inevitably miss her sister who is separated from the two places and cannot see each other.Sharon can only come back to accompany her during the winter and summer vacations, and Josephine seems to have returned to her former lonely life, always deliberately keeping a distance from her classmates, and not in-depth contact with anyone.

A year later, Josephine entered the third year of junior high school and became a candidate.And Sharon also entered her sophomore year, starting a new round of competition for credits.In her sophomore year, Xue Lun had more and more strict requirements on herself, because she hoped to obtain one of the few day-study qualifications in the highest military school after she entered her junior year, so that she could go home and live.The highest military school is located in the western suburbs of the central region, which is actually very close to Spencer’s home. If you take a special city maglev every day, you can get there in less than 10 minutes, and it takes about an hour to drive.Josephine hopes to get a good grade in the exam, continue to study at Eton College, and obtain the precious recommendation qualification of Eton College, and enter the cradle of English writers-the University of Edinburgh to study.

So for the whole year after that, the two of them were desperately busy with their studies, and even the contact with each other seemed to be in a hurry.Even so, they still insist on talking on the phone every day, no matter how long or short it is.Sometimes, the appearance in the video conversation is also hard to hide the tiredness, and it is inevitable that the other party will notice the state of hard work, but neither of them persuaded the other to relax a little bit. They both know that this is to live together better And working hard is also to pursue a more positive life. They support each other tacitly.

In fact, Xue Lun was quite concerned about whether Josephine had someone to associate with, whether male or female, she cared very much.It is said that there is no, but she is very worried and always worried.The younger sister's appearance and temperament are more and more outstanding, and there must be many people who like her. The younger sister declares that she will concentrate on studying and studying, and does not think about love affairs. Maybe it can block some people, but some stubborn guys will still pester her. Don't let it go, it's very annoying.

What Sharon didn't know was that Josephine was also very concerned about her sister's situation in the Supreme Military Academy.And she has far fewer channels to get information about Sharon, and often she can only guess about Sharon's current situation by relying on the state of Sharon in the video conversation.Josephine actually had the idea of ​​taking the exam for the highest military school, but she knew how weak she was. Even if she passed, she might not pass the physical fitness test, so she had to give up.And she still has a literary dream after all, and she still can't give up her dream in the end.Girls hope to use their immature shoulders to provoke a balance between dreams and reality.In the past, she escaped from reality and only had unrealistic fantasies.But now the unrealistic fantasy has become an ideal within reach, and she will never escape from reality, because in that reality there is the person she cherishes the most.It is this most cherished person who has been encouraging her and supporting her, so that she can make efforts to transform fantasy into ideal.

Finally, a year of hard work has paid off.Sharon's application for commuting in the third and fourth year of her junior year was approved, while Josephine successfully passed the exam and was promoted to the high school of Eton College, and entered the Literary Club of Eton College with a long history.This is basically the equivalent of getting a school recommendation in advance.As long as Josephine does not violate discipline or law, her grades do not plummet, and there are no accidents, she will definitely enter Edinburgh to study smoothly.

During the summer vacation, Sharon rushed home excitedly, intending to share the good news with the girl face to face, but unexpectedly, Josephine fell ill, with a fever of 39 degrees, and the cause was heat cold.This girl's physique was originally not good, and because she had been studying too hard recently, she didn't get enough sleep and her food was not delicious, which led to a drop in resistance, and she caught a cold after blowing on a little air-conditioning.

Sharon sat beside Josephine's bed, looking at the girl with flushed cheeks and drowsy sleep, her distress was beyond words.Gwen, the family doctor of Spencer's family, came to see Josephine. There was nothing serious about Josephine, but this fever was a bad start. After that, Josephine often caught colds, and her resistance declined rapidly. A comprehensive physical examination was performed, but no other cause was found, which made the family very worried.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Josephine fell ill, and she was not fully recovered until the end of the summer vacation.During this period, Sharon has been taking care of her personally and staying by her side.Pour water for her when she is thirsty, go to the kitchen to feed her food when she is hungry, read to her when she is awake, and sleep with her when she is sleepy.When she was in good health and able to get out of bed and walk around, she accompanied her for a walk around the mansion, and even washed her changed clothes with her own hands.

The meticulous care of her sister made Josephine so satisfied that she often sighed. The sensitive girl was even afraid of what she would do if she lost her sister one day. She would definitely not be able to accept it.And the relationship between the two sisters is so good, mother Lilian was relieved, but also fell into some inexplicable sense of disobedience.The way the two sisters get along always reveals a strange feeling, as if they have surpassed the boundaries that sisters should have and entered a certain subtle and ambiguous state.This made Lilian feel a little worried. However, her husband Nurente has been so busy with congressional elections and financial reviews recently that he hardly cares about his family or his children. Nothing to disturb Nurent, so the status quo can only be temporarily put aside.

Lilian was not the only one who saw that the relationship between the two sisters was unusual. The servants in the mansion actually felt the same way, and occasionally discussed it in private.But because they were afraid of losing their jobs, they didn't dare to spread the word too much, and if they mentioned it occasionally, everyone would keep it secret.As a result, the atmosphere in the mansion also seemed weird.

In fact, in today's era, same-sex marriage is not a problem at all, and the two sisters are not related by blood. It stands to reason that they love each other, and marriage is completely acceptable to anyone.What Lilian and the servants cared about was not their gender or their legal sisterhood. What they cared about was how the two children would take this step if they really had feelings for each other.This is not easy. Just imagine if there is a rift in the development of the relationship in the future, or if they want to break up with each other, can they return to the state of sisters?After all, it is a family, and if you break up, you can't avoid it like ordinary couples. If one of them runs away to avoid embarrassment, the family will never be complete again, which is really worrying.When Lilian married Nurente, she just hoped to change Josephine's personality a little bit so that she could live in society more easily in the future, but she never thought that such a situation would happen.

The adults' worries were actually Sharon's worries.She has long since realized her feelings for Josephine, but she has no intention of expressing or expressing these feelings. She only hopes to be her good sister in this life, always be with her and take good care of her That's fine.She is a very intelligent person, and therefore insightful, she never makes long-term plans, because she understands that the future is unpredictable.Her philosophy of life is to try to do what she can do well, and if something happens beyond her ability to handle it, then just let it happen.For her, her feelings for Josephine were beyond her ability to handle. She had no way of predicting her and Josephine's future, so she was very afraid of disrupting the current balance.Furthermore, Josephine was still young, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she hadn't figured out what she really wanted. She hoped that she would at least wait until Josephine became an adult before considering how to deal with the relationship between them.

On the day Josephine reported for the first semester of high school, Sharon wore her summer military uniform of the highest military school to attend the opening ceremony.This ironed air force uniform and the second lieutenant epaulets shining on her shoulders are the result of her hard work in the past year.She won the school-level first-class meritorious service in the annual competition of the highest military academy, and she was awarded the rank of second lieutenant before her classmates. Most of her classmates were awarded the rank of second lieutenant only after they graduated from college and completed the graduation assessment.

Unsurprisingly, she attracted a lot of people's attention at the opening ceremony. This time, her father was too busy to take the time to come, so she came here to accompany his mother, Lilian, instead of her father.After the opening ceremony, they took a group photo at the gate of the chapel.Josephine was in a very good mood that day. Although she was not fully recovered from her illness, she really looked healthy. When taking pictures, she mischievously pinched Sharon's hand, so that Sharon's attention was all on her. , without looking at the camera.She entered the mirror with a bright smile on her face. Mother Lilian didn't know why she liked this photo very much. Although the photoshoot failed, she kept it in the family's electronic photo album.

Lilian accepted the feelings of the two girls that day, and she felt that as a mother, she had to protect the future of the two children.No matter what happens, she will be by their side, watching them leave the track of life step by step.She also understands her husband. Although Nurent seems to advocate freedom and equality, he is actually a typical British, and he is still traditional and stubborn in his bones. Perhaps he is not so accepting of this matter, and she chose to hide it for the children.As long as the children are not open and honest with her, she will act as if she doesn't know anything.

In her junior year, Sharon started to go to school. Although she could live at home, she had to leave early and return late every day because of her busy schedule. She often missed the chance to meet Josephine.When she went out early in the morning, Josephine couldn't get up, and when she came back late at night, Josephine was already asleep.She could only go to Josephine's bedroom to see her every day. Even so, she was very satisfied to see the girl's sleeping face and kiss her forehead secretly.

In the very beginning, Josephine forced herself to get up early or wait until Sharon came home to go to bed. As a result, her sleep deprivation and her health became worse and worse, and even the first three months of the first year of high school , she called for sick leave four times.Under the coercion of her family, she had to take medicine containing sleeping ingredients, go to bed early and wake up late, and try to prolong the sleep time, and the situation improved.During this period, Sharon got acquainted with the good friends Josephine made after entering high school, which was very novel, and it was the first time she met someone who could have such a good relationship with Josephine.The girl's name was Miranda Walker. When Josephine was sick, she would often go to Spencer's house to give Josephine her homework and visit her frail and sick friends.This is a very gentle girl, and Sharon has a good impression of her.

Later, the girl began to communicate with her sister by exchanging diaries. Every day before going to bed, she wrote down what she saw and heard about the day, and spread it out on the desk. Sharon, who came home late, would sit by her desk and spend the next day Write down her own itinerary for the day on the page.Waking up early the next day, the first thing she did was to read the diary left by her sister last night.Josephine does not need to send text messages. She loves books and the feeling of writing with her own handwriting. This kind of classical hobby has also created their romantic way of communication.Even if they couldn't meet each other, they had no complaints about it, and they were happy with it.

The only thing that makes Sharon sad is that the girl often writes "Sister, I miss you so much" at the end of her daily diary, "Can I come back early tomorrow, I'm going to bake you a cake" "I found a new book and want to I'll watch it with you", but Sharon had no way to respond, so she could only evade and write nonsense like "drink more hot water", "don't stay up late", "add more clothes".She counted the days on her fingers, hoping that Josephine would grow up soon, and that she could graduate early and go out on her own, that she could hold her in her arms as soon as possible, and pamper her as a lover instead of an older sister. lifetime.What worried her was her father's attitude. She didn't know how her father would react if he knew about her and Josephine.But no matter what, she firmly believed that she would fight to the end, just like her father fought against his grandfather back then.

When the last page of a thick exchange diary was used up and replaced with a new one, they passed the junior year and the first year of high school respectively, and entered a higher grade.Sharon's schoolwork was finally much easier. She completed all the credits of the undergraduate stage ahead of schedule, and took the third-level commander exam, known as the "hell test", and obtained her graduation qualification ahead of schedule.At the same time, she has also obtained the qualification to continue her studies in the highest military academy, and will continue to study command studies under the guidance of General Romanov, the head of the highest military academy.

In May of this year, Josephine turned sixteen and became a legal adult.Sharon thought about it and wanted to find an opportunity to confess to the girl. The girl's attitude towards her for a long time made Sharon very sure of her feelings for the girl. She could feel the girl's extraordinary feelings for her. Generally speaking, I have been patient.

But she still couldn't muster up the courage, and she always cowardly thought to wait, wait, maybe it would be better to wait until Josephine graduated from high school, so that it would not affect her homework.She would never think of how much her future self would hate her clumsy and timid handling of feelings at that time.

After so much delay, December came.On Christmas Day, all registered Christian believers have a three-day holiday.No matter what, Sharon never imagined that in this year's white Christmas, she would never lose the chance to confess her love to her sister, and also lose one meter of sunshine in her life forever.She died at such a young age of 12, and a huge bloody wound was opened in her heart, which could never heal again.Not only did he lose his sister, but he also lost his father and mother. From then on, he was alone and alone.

Since then, there are only four sentences left in her life: Fate is ruthless, and regrets are always with me.If you go back in time, you must live up to the fleeting years.
