People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

"However, if you want to explain it specifically, just ask your sister, she must have a deeper understanding."

"...I understand." A flash of understanding flashed in Barbara's eyes, and then she bowed deeply again, "Thank you, whether it is Mr. Albert or others, when we face them again, I think I know what to do."

Gu Bai paused, realizing that he had been here for a long time, although he didn't mind chatting for a while, but there was still something to do, so he talked about the last topic.

"After talking so much, I almost forgot what I was talking about at the beginning." He asked with a smile, "Do you still remember the source of the topic?"

Without waiting for the girl to answer, Gu Bai immediately said:

"You said you want to surpass your sister, but you haven't figured out what the motive is. If you still don't know, why not answer my question first."

"Suppose one day, this idea comes true, and you really become a better and more popular person than Qin, what would you do?"

"me……"

"Isn't it because you think this goal is too far away, and you haven't had time to think about it?" He joked, "I want to hear recognition from others, for example, let people around you admit that you are indeed better than Qin?"

"No." Barbara didn't rush to answer this time. She thought for a moment, then shook her head seriously: "If I really hear such words, I may not only not be happy, but I will stand up to fight for my sister's injustice."

"Because you always think that you can't surpass her?"

She replied somewhat dejectedly, "Maybe... no, that's actually how it is."

"Is that for Qin's approval?"

"Well... maybe a little bit."

Seeing her hesitate again, Gu Bai stopped asking, "Then I will give you an answer too, do you remember what I said just now, your sister took good care of this city, and besides Mond, everyone around you As a sister, she treats you the same way."

"Since you were young, your parents should have been very busy, right?"

"Well, my mother is on a mission outside the city, and sometimes it takes a few days to come back, and my father sometimes spends the night in the church. The beds for the two of them are always empty. At that time, it was my sister who took care of me."

Gu Bai nodded:

"Will she always help you solve all the troubles, from small things like food, clothing, housing and transportation to big things like being bullied... But it's hard to say whether anyone dares to bully you."

"Actually, there are." Barbara turned her face away in embarrassment, "I liked to cry when I was a child, and I still remember a child who was about the same age as my sister, who always called me a crybaby... My sister would stop me. in front of me, and glared unhappily."

"Is there such a villain?"

"You can't say that. Thinking about it now, it's more like a joke among friends. She didn't mean anything malicious, but I was a little afraid of her. My sister has a good relationship with her, but then..." Barbara said distressedly, "I don't want to Hiding it from you, I don’t remember very well.”

"In short, it's just like what you said, my sister took good care of me. I still remember the time when I was separated from her, and I always felt uncomfortable living with my father in the church."

"Oh...is that so?"

Gu Bai didn't dwell on the previous topic:

"Speaking of which, I have a friend who also has an older sister. When I was young, the siblings had a good relationship, but when I was a teenager, I began to be dissatisfied with the usual care, and felt that the other party was always treating him like a child. .”

"Then subconsciously distanced himself from his sister, to the point where he couldn't speak when they met."

"Is this the so-called rebellious period? I can't say for sure. After all, I don't have a sister, but I think he must have the idea of ​​proving himself in front of his sister. This kind of recognition is very important. Especially for those who have been taken care of since childhood For kids who are doing well."

Barbara's face was a little hot, and she shifted her gaze to her toes as she listened, and whispered:

"Sounds a lot like me."

"So I think that the competitive spirit you think you have is not really trying to be better than Qin, and it has nothing to do with emotions like jealousy. It's more like getting some approval from her."

"I think so too, but..." Barbara grabbed the hem of her clothes and said embarrassingly, "Mr. Gu doesn't think this is a very naive idea."

"Has anyone ever said that?"

"No."

"Even if someone said it, to put it in a harsh way, it's about the two of you sisters. What does it have to do with them?"

Gu Bai said again, "By the way, the honor of the family is also part of it. Although your sister is the first child, you must have been affected."

"For example, if someone points to Qin and says that this is the eldest daughter of the Gurnhild family, the pride of the family, etc.; and then looks at you, the evaluation will be-this is Qin's younger sister, not this Barbara. This kind of invisible pressure is still great."

"But it's been reversed now." Gu Bai laughed, "Now people will say when they see you, look, Miss Barbara is here!"

"It's much more enthusiastic than you guessed." Barbara also showed a smile, "At the beginning, I also thought, if one day, people see my sister and say, 'Wow, so this is Barbara. Miss' sister' what happens."

"But now, even if you want to hear this kind of reverse discussion, it's hard. After growing up, there are not many people who know that we are sisters. Most of them are seniors of the Knights, so...hehe , I can only hope to hear approval from my sister."

"It's more than that." Gu Bai thought for a while, "My friend and her sister are estranged, but it doesn't mean I don't care."

"In the past, for example, if he accidentally fell down, it was his sister who helped him up and coaxed him, and then gently applied the medicine; for example, when he was bullied by a child of the same age, her sister was taller than him, so she easily put him down. It's not difficult to dump a few brats."

"The key words are care and protection. I think he wants to find an opportunity to give back to the past-the people who protected him in the past can now protect each other. This is probably the idea."

"The story hasn't finished yet, until one time he saw his sister being harassed by a few gangsters, and then fought with each other. Although...the result was not very good, the relationship between the siblings warmed up after this incident .”

Barbara understood what he meant, subconsciously waved her fist, her eyes flickered, and then she said in frustration: "It would be great if my sister and I could change our identities."

"Actually, I have also had similar thoughts. I often think that my sister will be defeated when she is fighting with others, and then I will wear her saber to take revenge, but the fact is just the opposite. Whether it is swordsmanship or etiquette, I have never I have never been better than my sister..."

Gu Bai crossed his arms and agreed:

"Who says it's not? You can only blame your sister for being too good."

"The truth is even more exaggerated than this..." Barbara flicked her ponytail, "If people of the same age still have a little hope of catching up, let's put it on my sister. She doesn't even give others the chance to see her back. .”

"Very depressed?"

"Hmm...it's a little depressing to think about it."

Gu Bai laughed, "I'll teach you a way. When you're unhappy, just let your hair down and shout at the mirror—Jin? Gurnhild, it's all your fault!"

"That's right!" Barbara wrinkled her nose, and also denounced: "It's a big villain! It's all Qin's fault!"

"Phew...it's much better." The girl patted her chest, and then asked in confusion: "But why did you put your hair down in front of the mirror?"

"Do you dare to yell directly at your sister like this?"

"Eh?"

"So, put your hair down, it's better to wear a single ponytail, and then sneak out her uniform and put it on, it will be more substituting."

"Actually... no, it's okay!"

In fact, she really wanted to say that her sister's clothes were too big and she would wear them loosely, but she didn't say so in the end;

The girl just stretched her hand behind her head, trying to put the two ponytails together into one, imitating the appearance of her sister in her mind;

But if this is a joke after all, I still have to return to reality after laughing:

"To tell you the truth, in fact, the motivation for my initial efforts was to beat my sister once, but I didn't succeed once, so I simply thought, since I'm not good at fighting, then I should take care of the logistics work, and then under the guidance of my father became a nun."

"Very good." Gu Bai didn't understand why she had a sad expression when talking about this matter.

"It was very good at first. At that time, my sister came back from a mission, and I helped her bandage her wounds a few times. I even thought, maybe I am very talented in healing, and I can finally surpass my sister once, and then..."

Barbara looked like she was about to cry:

"Then my sister has the eyes of God, and her ability is healing..."

poor child.

Gu Bai mourned for her for two seconds.

The two sighed at the same time, wondering why such a perfect person existed for a while.

After a while, he comforted:

"Don't be too discouraged, at least you can figure out where the competitive spirit comes from. In fact, you want to help Qin share some responsibilities. She was always protecting you in the past, but now you want to take care of her more. Do what you can to help your sister, right?"

"But..." Barbara squatted on the ground again, burying her face in her arms, "I don't seem to be able to help my sister at all."

"In terms of strength, I'm not even as good as an ordinary knight. If you weren't there in this dragon disaster, I could only watch my sister leave, but I couldn't do anything."

"In terms of talent, in the eyes of people who know the truth, my sister will always be my sister and the pride of the family, and I will always be the younger sister of the deputy leader. No matter what I learn from childhood, I can't learn as fast as her. Even if I am proud She does healing too."

"In terms of popularity, many people like me. Of course I am very happy, but my sister is also very popular. It is not an exaggeration to say that people in the whole city trust and admire her..."

"I..." In the past, the "lost time" she set for herself was only 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, she had to regain her spirits no matter what, but this time, the girl buried her head in frustration, "I don't know What should I do."

"Have you told your sister these words?" Gu Bai was thoughtful.

"No, this is my own trouble, how can I bother my sister again, and..." She whispered: "Even if I want to talk, my sister has no time to listen."

"Actually...sometimes I really feel that I'm so useless, I can't even deal with the worshipers, these small things need the help of other nuns, and I haven't taken care of them, let alone take care of my sister."

"And even if I figured it out here, my sister is still worried about me. She always treats me as a younger sister, but she can't see my other identity..."

"So I thought, since I can't help my sister, I can always keep her from causing trouble. If I think about it this way, I will unconsciously avoid her."

"Even if I really want to get closer to my sister, there seems to be a voice saying at this time, she is not only my sister, but also the deputy head of the team. She is busy working until late every day, how can I let her spend her time?" Wasted on such childish ideas."

"But seeing my sister doesn't know what to say every time she sees me, it makes me feel very sad..."

"Hmm..." Gu Bai organized his words, "Maybe we can give up the idea of ​​surpassing her first?"

"I also know that it's meaningless to compare who is better with my sister, but I can't help thinking this way, as if I have more confidence."

"It seems that once I do it, I can stand upright in front of my sister and tell her that I have grown up. Not only do I no longer need her protection, but I can also help her with many things."

"Is that so." Gu Bai asked slowly, "Have you ever thought that now you can help my sister a lot?"

"I..." Barbara froze for a moment, her first reaction was to say how it was possible, but after thinking about it, she finally nodded sadly, stood up, and tried to force a smile:

"I understand what to do, cheer up, put away these complaints and awkwardness, and then concentrate on doing my own thing well, helping more injured people, and not letting my sister worry about me, this is how I can help my sister the best way."

Gu Bai quietly looked at her for a while, until the girl wanted to promise something more, then he shook his head:

"No, I mean, why don't you go to your sister."

"Go to my sister... tonight she will live in the Knights Order, I guess I won't be able to see it, I may meet tomorrow, then I will go to her and tell her what you said, um... it's like Untie, I should remember correctly..."

After she finished speaking, she hesitated again:

"But I may not see you tomorrow night. My sister will be very busy during this period. If you have time in the future, don't worry. As long as she is free, I will definitely..."

"Wait a minute, I'm not talking about tomorrow night, or later."

Gu Bai pointed to the ground and interrupted:

"It's now."

When Songs Sound: Chapter 208 Stay Tonight

"Now, now?"

"Now."

Gu Bai replied.

He took out his pocket watch and took a look, "When I came here, Qin had just settled down the people in Yunhan Society, so it just so happens that I'm not busy now."

"But my sister has other things to do, so go disturb her now..."

Barbara subconsciously refused, just thinking about it, she understood that there are still many things to do:

Coordinating the work of various teams, statistics of losses and casualties, arranging shelter for the homeless, forecasting and planning for the future situation, how to restore the operation of the city after the dragon disaster... and city defense, food, supplies etc.

In this case, it's not so much that she has no courage, it's better to say that she really can't bear to trouble her sister anymore.

Thinking of this, the girl quickly waved her hand, and just about to explain, she heard Gu Bai ask again:

"Why do you use the word disturb?"

"because I……"

"You are Barbara, Qin's younger sister, you two are blood relatives." Gu Bai looked directly into her eyes, "Why do you subconsciously consider finding your sister as a burden?"

"I still say that, you are good enough now, but no matter what, in front of Qin, you will always be her sister. You don't have to be an adult, and you don't have to be better than her. Although I understand , your idea of ​​wanting to appear in front of Qin with a better posture."

"You said that Qin always regards you as a younger sister, but she can't see another layer of your identity. This is her negligence. But it also means that no matter what you become, you will not mean anything to her." Change."

Gu Bai said seriously:

"Now she is the acting leader, and in a few years, she may become a full-time official and become what people call the grand leader; she may also be a certain other identity, such as an ordinary knight."

"The reason why I say this is to tell you that no matter how great the position is, it doesn't mean that you have to abandon your personal interests. Positions and identities will always change with time, but only your sister has been like this for many years."

"If you can understand what I mean, let's move on to the next question. You said that Qin is tired now, which is true; you don't go to her because you don't want her to spend more energy. The intention is good; but you know Well, you've always overlooked one point."

Facing her dazed eyes, Gu Baiwen said softly:

"You always feel that you need Qin, but have you ever thought about it, your sister actually needs you too."

"I……"
