Chapter 228 Don’t Be Sad, Brother
"That day you were swimming, and brother wanted you to learn, so he let go, and you choked on some water, cried your eyes out, and ignored brother all day long." Zhao Ying pointed to a photo in the album where she had red-rimmed eyes from crying and was pouting unhappily, all the while her expression filled with a tender and nostalgic light.
Su Lu looked at the photo. There, a little girl with tear-stained cheeks and a boy sitting next to her, smiling and tying her hair into braids.
She recognized herself, no doubt about it. It was indeed her face, slightly different from when she first arrived at the orphanage, but not by much.
The boy sitting behind her, braiding her hair, was none other than what Shen Xun looked like now.
It wasn’t hard to guess, brother had made his sister cry and was now braiding her hair to cheer her up, while mom, holding the camera, had captured this moment.
Not only had mom captured it, but she remembered almost every day’s photo in this album, could describe what happened that day.
Su Lu flipped through the album and saw herself sitting in front of an old piano, playing.
She gently touched the photo with her finger.
"This is you practicing the piano, so earnest, every time you practiced, you were very serious. Other kids that age, asked to sit quietly at the piano for two hours, would have grown impatient long ago, but not you," Zhao Ying said with relief in her voice, "Even brother wasn’t like you, he wanted to go out and play after less than an hour of playing the violin."
Su Lu’s fingers gently touched the photo, her gaze slightly dazed, "I never knew why I played the piano. When the Su family sent me to learn, I picked it up quickly, as if I had already known how to play. It turns out I had already learned during this time."
Su Lu had never looked so seriously at so many photos before, looking at them felt like watching a life she had missed.
