Just as I walked out, I heard a clear and lively voice in the crowd of people: "Brother!"

  I subconsciously grasped Tang Jiao's hand tightly, and her expression was also moved.

  We saw her.

  After getting off the boat, Wu Miao is still alive today.

  She was also wearing a cheap but beautiful skirt, and on her face, which had some similarities with mine, shone a radiant smile that seemed to swallow all the darkness in my heart. I smiled too, but my eyes were slightly moist. Only Tan Jiao beside me could hear it, I took a deep breath slowly, suppressing the tears that belonged to my brother. She grasped my hand tighter and then let go, saying softly: "Go."

  This is the third time I've seen her since Wu Miao's death. This thought flashed through my mind.

  I walked over with big strides and tightly hugged Mèimei. Wū Miào was obviously a bit embarrassed and unexpected, saying: "Brother, what's wrong with you? So passionate all of a sudden... I..."

  I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, then let her go, stroking her head and smiled: "Wu Miao, brother is back to accompany you."

  Wu Miao looked at me for a moment, then turned to look at Tan Jiao behind me. It was clear that her interest in Tan Jiao far exceeded her interest in me, her own brother. I pulled Tan Jiao into my arms and said, "This is my girlfriend, Tan Jiao. Jiao Jiao, this is my younger sister, Wu Miao."

  Tan Jiao revealed a very sweet smile and stretched out her hand to Wu Miao, as if they had just met for the first time: "Hello, Wu Miao, I'm Tan Jiao, also known by my pen name, Qi Zhu."

  Wu Miao's face froze instantly: "Seven... seven pearls? Is that the one written by Qiuzi, the Seven Treasures Pearl of the great treasure?"

  My girl, the kind and generous girl, has proactively reached out to hug my waist. I heard her say in a very gentle voice: "Right, Qī Zhū, also known as Dà Zhū. Thank you for liking my book, I'm also very happy to be able to... see you again, Wū Miào."

  The remaining sound was only Wu Miao's surprised and excited cheers: "Ahhhhhhh! Am I dreaming?! Brother, have you gone crazy? You're chasing after my goddess?!"

  I rented a car at the airport in advance and drove home. Tan Jiao and Wu Miao sat in the back row. The two women chatted all the way, almost as if I didn't exist. At first, Wu Miao was still a bit nervous and shy, after all, she had met her idol. But Tan Jiao was a girl who spoke freely and had no airs about her, and was also clever and friendly. Wu Miao quickly put aside her tension, and the two of them almost stuck together chatting.

  "How did you and my brother get to know each other?" I heard Wu Miao ask in a voice that she thought was soft.

  "Hmm..." Tan Jiao replied, "That's a long story. We actually met on the 'Yunnan Beauty'."

  "Yunnan beauty?" Wu Miao was surprised, "You were also on that boat? Hey, brother, you're really impressive, not a single leak."

  Tan Jiao and I both smiled, without saying a word.

  Wu Miao can't remember. When we retreated back to the boat, she was with us. And also Xian Yuan and Chen Ruying. They all died later on.

  "Wu Miao sighed and said: 'My brother, such a proud and arrogant person, also has a girlfriend. Dazhu, I think he must have been sincere, he really likes you.'"

  My heart was slightly burning with anger upon hearing this.

  Then I heard Tan Jiao say in a low voice: "I know."

  I gazed at them through the rearview mirror, and then my eyes fell on Tan Jiao. She noticed it too, and looked back at me from the mirror, our eyes locked in a gaze, her eyes warm and gentle beyond measure.
