On my eighteenth birthday, my brother Su Yan disappeared.
He left a note: "Forget me."
There is also a key that asks me to go to the old house in the south of the city to find the answer.
Five years later, the Su family fell into decline, and I was forced to marry Lu Huaichuan, a famous dandy in Nancheng, for my sister.
On the wedding night, Lu Huaichuan was drunk and pressed me against the wall——
"You don't want to know where your brother is?"
I was shaking all over: "You know?"
He smiled, but his eyes were colder than a knife:
"He was dying. He was dying five years ago."
I ran to my old house in the south of the city like crazy and used the key to open the eastmost door on the third floor.
There are pictures of me all over the wall.
From the ages of seven to eighteen, there is the same line of words underneath each one:
"Azhao, brother wants to stay with you for one more year."
One year, and another, and another.
He wrote for ten years.
At this moment, Su Yan was sitting in a wheelchair in the center of the room,
Half as thin as when I left,
Looked at me and smiled softly:
"Azhao, why did you find yourself here anyway?"
