Big Brother ... Big Brother ..."

Who? Who is it? Are they calling me?

Xie Bi An opened his heavy eyelids and found himself in the mist. It seemed that there were many people hiding behind a curtain of mist, shadowy and hazy. Some are shouting, some are whispering, and some are sighing, but none of them could be heard clearly, except for the words "Big Brother".

He wanted to move forward, cut through the fog and find out what was going on, but his body is not listening to him.

"Big brother, big brother."

Who? Who is it? Where am I?

A small figure rushed out from the mist and jumped into his arms like a puppy, calling out crisply, "Big brother!"

Xie Bi An hugged that soft little boy. His heart twitched in pain. For a moment, it was as if something missing had been filled back in. He seemed to have known this child for a long time. He could even be sure that this child was very beautiful, very intelligent, and very dependent on him, but he could not even see this face.

Who are you? Why do you call me big brother?

Xie Bi An wanted to ask him, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Big brother, what are you cooking for Xiao Jiu today?"

Xiao Jiu? Your name is Xiao Jiu? Are you my younger brother? I heard from master saying that everyone in my family died of the plague, so perhaps I do have a younger brother?

Xie Bi An couldn't bear to let go of his hand, but his arms were suddenly empty, and Xiao Jiu had disappeared. He panicked. Where is Xiao Jiu? Where is his younger brother? He shouted for Xiao Jiu, but nothing came out.

He didn't know who Xiao Jiu was and he couldn't see Xiao Jiu's face, but he knew that Xiao Jiu is very important to him and he couldn't lose him.

As he was searching anxiously, his shoulders suddenly sank again, and a young boy intimately grabbed his neck. A voice as clear and pleasant as a mountain stream rang in his ears, "Look, big brother, I'm almost as tall as you."

Who are you?

"Hahaha, what if I grow taller than you in the future? Will you regret always making sure that I don't leave any leftovers?"

Could you be ... Xiao Jiu? How come you've suddenly grown so tall?

Xie Bi An was afraid that Xiao Jiu would disappear again and grabbed the teenager's hand. He was still trying hard to speak but was unable to make a sound.

Even though he tried his best to grab it, the teenager still disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving only a string of cheerful laughter that gradually became softer.

No, don't disappear. Where are you going? Don't disappear!

Xie Bi An hurriedly chased after him, but after a few steps, his ankle was suddenly grabbed. He looked down and saw that it was a bloody hand! The owner of the bloody hand crawled on the ground, and he could see the raging pain and hatred from the blurred mass of his face.

"Why ... big brother ... why did you do this ...?" Each word was hurting his heart.

What?

"Not you, tell me, not you! Big brother ... why ..."

He recognized this voice, even though it had changed and had a voice between that of a teenager and a man, it was still clearly the same Xiao Jiu from before.

How did you get hurt? What are you talking about? What did I do?

"I trusted you so much, I listened to everything you said, I treated you ... why are you doing this to me?!"
