My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old

Chapter 349 Jumping into the Lake

 The wedding of an emperor or an empress is a major event in the world.

The Yan family also attached great importance to it. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Lin took Suisui to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings.

 Most likely we will stay there for a while.

As soon as we arrived at Huguo Temple, a boy suddenly invited Suisui to the corner.

Suisui couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw Zhou Ling covered in mud at the foot of the wall.

"I'm already engaged to brother Jiuxiao, why are you doing this? I really only regard you as my senior..." Suisui is really a bit big-headed.

 Six months ago, Zhou Ling was in high spirits and his eyes were bright.

 At first glance, he looks like a young man named Lang Lang with a bright future.

Today, he looks quite decadent, with gloomy features and no luster.

 He was also holding a basket of lotus pods in his hand, and his trousers were already soaked.

 My forehead was covered with sweat, and it was falling down in big drops.

His green shirt was stained with mud, and his whole person looked embarrassed.

 But the lotus flower in his arms bloomed just right.

 At this moment, he was looking at Suisui carefully.

 “I refused the engagement at home.”

 “I don’t like that girl, and I don’t want her to live in this life.” He whispered.

 “This is the last lotus flower of the year, given to you. And your favorite lotus pod.”

 “I never like eating lotus pods.” Suisui immediately refused.

Zhou Ling was stunned.

He was a little at a loss while holding the basket: "But when we were boating on the lake that day, you clearly ate a lot of lotus seeds. You also said they were not bitter at all..." Zhou Ling murmured.

"When will I go boating on the lake with you? When will we eat..." Suisui stiffened and her expression froze.

“Going boating on the lake? Do you like lotus seeds and wear green?” Suisui suddenly raised her eyes.

Zhou Ling always felt disconnected when she looked at Suisui's strangeness.

 Like Sui Sui but not Sui Sui.

Suisui was so confused, how could Zhou Ling see peace?

 He, he always regarded her as peace?

 Everything makes sense.

His sudden warmth and every thing he sends is for peace.

"You..." Suisui saw his unkempt beard and the pain that could not be concealed in his eyes, and her heart was slightly confused.

 Ping An has never said anything about this.

Suisui took a breath: "It's not me who goes boating on the lake with you. It's not me who likes to wear green, and it's not me who likes to eat lotus seeds."

“Anyway, I will give you an explanation of this matter after I return to Beijing.”

Suisui said seriously.

 This is Ping An's private matter. She has no right to speak out for Ping An. Ping An has his own thoughts.

 Zhou Ling was even more shocked, he was almost stunned.

Every time he came into contact with Suisui, he felt something strange and disconnected, but he never thought that it was not Suisui!

 “Then who is she?” Zhou Ling took a step back suddenly.

Suisui looked gloomy: "I will look for you after I return to Beijing."

Zhou Ling stood there in shock, then staggered and ran down the mountain.

Huguo Temple is a day’s journey from the capital.

Zhou Ling immediately rushed back to the capital. When he returned to the capital, it was not even dark yet.

The lotus in his hand was already blooming, and under the scorching sun, the water vapor in the lotus pods was dried.

He ran all the way to Yan's house, looked at the door of Yan's house and pursed his lips.

 “Eighteen years of reading the sage’s book has gone to the dog’s belly.”

The dignified number one scholar actually climbed into a dog hole.

Zhou Ling smiled bitterly. He walked around the Yan family and found that there was a huge dog hole under the wall of the Yan family.

The dog hole was covered with straw and looked clean, with many flowers planted inside.

“The Yan family is quite elegant, and they even grow flowers in the dog hole. It’s really an advantage for me...” Zhou Ling sighed.

 Looking at the dangling lotus in my hand, I felt a little bitter.

“I have been reading books about sages for eighteen years in vain, but I have never thought that... you are not Suisui.” He was smart since he was a child, and even though he occasionally felt strange and separated, he never thought that the two of them were not the same person. Thinking about it now, he couldn't have guessed it.

 What he met was Suisui's twin sister.

　　The sister who was killed and her identity was taken away from her at birth.

 The Yan family twins have already spread throughout the capital.

The first time we met was when Yanchuan invited him to his house to enjoy the snow.

The two of them were reciting poems and corresponding in a small pavilion in the middle of the lotus lake. Yanchuan left for business. He drank a few more drinks and accidentally fell into the lotus pond.

 The little girl dressed in green dived into the water, her scalp disheveled, like an elf in the water.

 Hooking him around the waist, he carried him to the pavilion.

That day, he had an impression of her for the first time.

 She is no longer the old-fashioned little aunt, but the clear look in his eyes.

 As night approaches, lanterns are lit everywhere.

There is no one guarding the lotus lake.

Zhou Ling carried the basket and walked onto the small wooden bridge, which made a creaking sound. The closer you get, the more nervous you can feel in your heart.

　　My heart is about to beat out of my chest.

There is a lotus in Yan's family that blooms all year round. Everyone knows about it, but he never thinks much about it.

He even wrote poems praising this lotus, and even stopped to watch it again and again.

 But never recognized...

 That's his little girl.

Zhou Ling took a deep breath. He knew that he was very embarrassed now and should change his clothes.

 But he couldn't wait a moment.

Stopping in front of the lotus, Zhou Ling squatted down and looked at the lotus.

“You always said before that no one has ever sent you flowers. Today, I’m here...” All the previous confusions have been answered.

 “And your favorite lotus…”

 He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and gently touched the lotus in the lotus pond.

  Touched its petals, touched its stamens.

Suddenly, the originally dazed lotus suddenly tightened its petals.

"Before, you always said that you were a shadow living in the sun. I was stupid and didn't understand what you meant." He patted the wrapped petals gently.

Seeing that she didn't want to come out, Zhou Ling sat cross-legged on the wooden bridge.

"Actually, I have known Suisui for almost ten years. I have always regarded her as my sister-in-law and my little ancestor. When I mention her, the first thing that comes to my mind is that of my little elder."

“But since I met you, your smile, your frown, your happiness, and every move you make have become clear.”

“It turns out that the person I like is not Suisui.” Zhou Ling smiled sadly.

 “Can I be your sun?”

 “The sun that only illuminates you.” I don’t want you to be a shadow.

 Thinking about the suffering she had suffered, he felt severe pain in his heart.

 I was born to suffer, and after death I was imprisoned, and now I still have to hide as a shadow in a dark pool.

"You still don't want to come out to see me..." Zhou Ling said with a bitter smile.

“Then, can I come and see you?” Zhou Ling whispered.

Stand up, open your arms, squint your eyes, and have a slight smile on your lips.

The breeze ruffled his robes and scattered his black hair.

 Tip your toes lightly and lean forward.

 Falling straight towards the pool.

 Plop sound.

 Make a splash in the pool.

The cold lake water flooded his mouth and nose, and a terrifying and desperate feeling of suffocation hit his face.

He offered no resistance and allowed himself to sink into the water, heading towards the dark and uncontrollable abyss.
