The cool B&B owner x the top of the decadent bar
"Don't forget each other, we must owe each other. We can't pay it back in this life or the next life."
He Zhiyun was only five years old when she was picked up by the He family.
When she was eighteen years old, her younger brother He Xiaozhen stole the family's money and put her on the train, saying: "Sister, go away and don't look back."
Seven years later, she returned to Pingxing Town with all her savings and opened a B&B, hoping to get him out of this quagmire.
But she discovered that the well-behaved younger brother in her memory had become the number one "Siren" that everyone in the bar flocked to.
Wearing heavy makeup and beguiling eyes, he used his voice to sell cheap ambiguity in front of the microphone at three in the morning.
He Xiaochen is most afraid of two things in his life:
First, his sister knew where he got his money;
The second is that his sister doesn't want him.
In order to support the moon in the distance, he crushed himself into mud and crawled around in the abyss.
The snow in Pingxing Town has been falling for seven years, burying He Zhiyun's past and freezing He Xiaochen's future.
She washed away her brilliance in the big city, returned and opened a B&B called "Shiguang", trying to piece together the broken family relationship.
In the bar at three o'clock in the morning, he transformed into a seductive "Siren", using his broken voice to support his distant sister.
Until He Zhiyun tore open his shiny skin and saw the dirty scars all over his body and the unspeakable hidden diseases in the medical records.
"Dirty, isn't it?" He smiled with red eyes, like a broken doll.
He Zhiyun didn't answer, just picked up a towel, dipped it in warm water, and wiped off the blood and makeup on his face bit by bit.
"Sister, it doesn't matter if I rot in the mud. As long as you can fly higher."
But this time, He Zhiyun didn't leave.
She tore up the ticket to leave, jumped into the mire, and hugged the scarred kraken tightly.
"Since you refuse to come up," she whispered in his ear, "then I will go down with you."
Later, everyone in Pingxing Town said that the He family siblings were crazy.
They burned down the old house and got on the train south.
No one knows where they went.
All I know is that on the streets of a strange city, someone saw a tall man squatting on the ground, tightening the loose shoelaces of a petite woman.
The sun was shining brightly, and the hideous scar on his wrist was gently covered by a compass tattoo.
[Reading Guide (Demining)]
1. Pseudo siblings: not related by blood, but have ethical shackles in the early stage. The relationship turns sour and there is a two-way crush.
2. The male protagonist is unclean: his body is unclean, his occupation is special, and there are a lot of descriptions of body transactions.
3. Realistic orientation: Involving the exploitation of native families, small town rumors, and the survival plight of the lower class. Not a cool piece of writing, with a depressing tone.
4. Redemption: Unconventional sweet pet. It is the painful redemption of "pulling you out of hell, and I have blood on my hands".
5. Ending: Open HE. They left the past behind, but the future remained unknown.
Purpose: "Love is not a cycle of sacrifice and debt, but the courage of two broken souls to recognize each other on the ruins and join hands to move towards the unknown."
