"Brother! Don't go! Don't leave me!"

The moment she regained her consciousness, Wuhe Qinli had unspeakable fear in her eyes. She sat up from the ground like a spring, and the first thing she looked at was her hands...the hands were empty and contained nothing.

The pupils shrank, and the horror in her eyes was even worse. With a few traces of hope that she couldn't believe, she looked around... It was the lake water she was familiar with. The fire reflected on the lake shook slightly, crackling. There was a crackling sound, and the broken tree foot fell to the ground, as if it was burned along with her hope, and the girl's eyes gradually became colorless.

She had a dream. In the dream, her favorite brother was still by her side, living an ordinary life, and the world was still a peaceful world. There were no elves, no special armed forces, and no wars. It was so ordinary. It used to be what she was looking forward to the most, but...was the dream just a dream?

The girl was sitting by the lake with her knees in her arms, her head deeply buried in her knees. In the flickering firelight, her already petite shoulders looked even more fragile, as if they were about to disappear at any moment.

"Ding ding ding ding ding... ding ding ding ding ding..."

Suddenly, a burst of rhythmic music sounded in the air, breaking the peaceful burning night. At the same time, it also gently touched the hope in the girl's heart, causing her to raise her head instinctively.

"One more shot, ah, one more shot, socialist Yaksi... one more shot, ah, one more shot, socialism is your uncle... Hey elf, you're okay Do you still remember who I am? I am the magic brother Mantouka..."

"This is Shidou...brother's voice!" Hearing this unfamiliar singing but extremely familiar voice, Wuhe Kotoli's expression changed suddenly, and she quickly looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice.

"Go to Tiangong City and meet my god-sister. Under the firelight, your back, let's dance together..."

"It's really brother's voice!" Hearing that familiar voice again, Wuhe Qinli burst into tears.While wiping the tears on his face, he ran desperately towards the direction where the singing sounded.

"My sister's body is underdeveloped, we have to use Jinkela, Jinkela, don't fight, don't fight... No one in this world understands my heart, only my darling, the elf, the platinum version of love~~~"

"Where is it? Brother! Where is it?" Wuhe Qinli ran like crazy, crying and shouting while searching.The overgrown branches knocked her to the ground, but they couldn't stop her from moving forward, ignoring the wound on her hand from the broken rock, and ran again.

"The cloud in Tiangong City has now become eternal. Ah, do you still remember me? Thousands of miles of white gold and snow are all over the sky, the flames of war are rising, and even when we parted, we met with swords..."

"No! No! Kotori... Kotori will never forget, brother!" Listening to the sad singing, Kotori shook her head and cried, and her running speed became faster.And the singing was clearer.

"War, punishment, the price of all mankind! Fuck, pompous, collapse in front of me! I use, my whole life. To restart this decadent world, for you, stay, platinum and pure world...Genders are different, how to fall in love .Everyone is naturally dumb, gender is different, how to fall in love, chrysanthemums and lilies will always bloom!"

"I am looking for your figure, even if you are immoral, it doesn't matter, you will never recognize me after being blackened~~ You are a younger sister, so beautiful, I am a brother, I love you so much, Yuyi is like an angel descending... you After leaving, I am only lonely, I want to find you and be with you~~together~~together~~together...no one in this world understands my heart, only my darling, Xiaoqinli, the platinum version Sister~~ The gunpowder smoke in Tiangong City is like a dream last night, ah, can I still find you? My heart is pale and silent after a cannon fire, and I let the world go to destruction...Death, collapse, the death of all human beings The price! Kotori, sister, disappear in front of me! I will use my whole life to burn my sister-in-law's soul, and stay for you, the platinum will be pure in the world!"

"elder brother!!!"

With the end of the song, Wuhe Kotori finally stopped. In her line of sight, an incomparably familiar figure was standing on a high tower. The moonlight shining like silver frost shone down on him. The shadow of her was stretched slender... In the night, this scene will be forever frozen in her heart.

The young man on the tower took the flute from his mouth, and with a gentle smile on his face, he watched the girl below slowly open his hands, and said softly, "Qinli, my cutest sister, I finally found you .”

"elder brother!"

At this moment, Wuhe Qinli's tears flowed backwards into a river, completely abandoning the girl's restraint, calling out with a hiss, the whole person flew upwards, and threw herself directly into the boy's embrace.

Familiar voice, familiar taste, familiar body temperature, everything is exactly the same as in her memory, although she knows that it is impossible, but she really came back, if... If this is just a dream, then I will never It's good to live in this dream.

"Brother! Brother! Brother..."

In the cries that seemed to be venting, the girl's long-standing emotions finally burst out, and she burst into tears.

Tang Cheng gently patted the girl's slender back, silently comforting her, while looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, staring at the full moon in the sky, as lonely as snow.

Whether it's the idiot at home or the godmother now, the hearts of the elves are too fragile. Faced with this kind of existence that is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, he believes that even if it is a two-fly game tonight, it will be easy. Yes, and following this trend, as long as no one comes to disturb, it is not a problem to subdue all the elves.

Oh, invincible, what a loneliness!

Half an hour later, Wuhe Qinli seemed tired from crying, and finally fell asleep in Tang Cheng's arms.

Tang Cheng picked her up and ran towards the house where she was temporarily staying tonight at a gentle pace.

……

When he got back to the house, the idiot foodie still hadn't woken up, holding a pillow as bread, biting it from time to time or talking in his sleep, it made people speechless.Tang Cheng didn't bother to care about her, so he took off Wuhe Qinli's coat and threw it on the bed, letting the two fairies get out of bed.

"What a pity. I have the principle that I will never push my sister as someone else, otherwise you two will be miserable tonight." Tang Cheng shook his head and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Early the next morning, Tang Cheng was studying the map when suddenly, the sound of the two running away came from the bedroom.

"Yadao God Tohka!"

"Wuhe Qinli!"

"Shidou is mine, go to hell!"

boom!

The door was pushed open heavily, Tang Cheng glared at the two elves in the bedroom, and shouted: "Quiet me!"

In the bedroom, Yatogami Tohka and Wuhe Kotori stood at the head of the bed and the other at the end of the bed, disheveled and staring at each other with their weapons, as if they were about to fight at any moment.

It was also fortunate that Tang Cheng came in time, otherwise, once they started fighting, this innocent house would surely be wiped out.

"elder brother!"

"Brother... Huh! Shidou?"

Following Tang Chengna's drink, the two looked at him immediately, shocked, joyful, and puzzled.

"Kotori, stay here first, I have something to say to Tohka." Tang Cheng pointed to Wuhe Kotori, and then led Yatogami Tohka out of the bedroom.

"Wait...wait!" Wuhe Qinli wanted to say something, but before she could finish, Tang Chengcheng had already closed the door, and when she opened the door again, the two of them had disappeared.

"So, you are not Shidao, but Brother Shisanxiang?" In the barrier, after listening to Tang Cheng's explanation, Shixiang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Why are you so disappointed? Do you just hope that I am Wuhe Shidao?" Tang Cheng pinched the girl's face, flattened and rounded it, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"No, that's not it!" Tohka quickly explained, "I just think Kotori is so stupid to believe that my brother is Shidou so easily, she really is a child."

No, you who are at the same level as Cirno have no right to call others stupid.

"In short, things are like this, in front of Qin, you can just treat me as Wuhe Shidao."

"I understand."

Shixiang nodded, and the same sentence, it's really great that this foodie elf is an idiot, no matter what explanation she can fully accept, there will be no doubts at all.

However, Tohka will accept his trick, will Wuhe Kotori really accept it?

Although Wuhe Qinli completely regarded him as Wuhe Shidao last night under the impetus of illusion, atmosphere and various aspects, but Tang Cheng believed that with the other party's IQ, even if he could deceive him for a while, he would not be able to deceive him forever, even... Now that he has come to his senses, Wuhe Kotori may not regard him as Wuhe Shidao anymore, even if he has now changed to Wuhe Shidao's appearance.

However, it is not difficult to control Wuhe Qinli.

Because of human attachment.

Tang Cheng is very clear about the mentality of human beings, mature human beings, immature human beings, hopeful human beings, and hopeless human beings... For their inner thoughts, Tang Cheng is even clearer than themselves.

Wuhe Shidao is already dead, even if he can reappear as a great elf after collecting all his body parts, but now he is dead after all, Wuhe Kotori cannot be unaware of this, and he should be able to understand that he just is a fake.

But that doesn't matter, with Wuhe Qinli's attachment to her brother, when a hope appears, she will deceive herself, even if that hope looks ridiculous, she will not puncture it... …Get support and sustenance from the fake, knowing that it is fake, but want to harvest real feelings, and live on it.

Regardless of whether the heart is fragile or strong, human beings need fantasy and disguise after all.
