Chapter 0207 – White? Black? Or red?
”Did you see that white shadow?” After the woman went out from the bedroom, her expression naturally changed, her eyes gently trembled, her face was pale, and she looked churlish.
”No.” Gu Feiyu glanced at the woman who had removed her mask, her expression slightly embarrassed, quietly turning her head to the side.
”Sit down first, I feel that the white shadow appeared in a somewhat strange manner.” The woman let Gu Feiyu sit on the sofa, she seemed to be feeling uncomfortable wearing high heels all the time, taking her shoes off to the side and entering the kitchen barefoot.
Hands gripping his baton tightly, Gu Feiyu was a bit nervous, fidgeting and shaking his legs unnaturally.
The woman took out two bottles of freshly opened drinks from the refrigerator and placed them on the coffee table, “I really thank you for today.”
”Duty calls, it’s too polite to say thank you.” Gu Feiyu was a little embarrassed.
”You must be properly thanked, if it wasn’t for you just now, I wouldn’t know what to do. After my sister disappeared, I don’t even have a relative now, I’m all alone in Jiujiang, and I don’t have much money left on me, so I’m just waiting to sell this house, and then I’ll leave here forever.” The woman sat on the sofa opposite the security guard, stunned, she crossed her legs over the edge of the sofa and rubbed them gently with her hands.
”It’s good to leave.” Gu Feiyu nodded his head, looking at the woman with some sympathy in his gaze, “But you don’t have to be too depressed, your sister is just missing, maybe she’ll be found one day.”
”Things are not as simple as you think, my sister and I are very close, the two of us grew up together, she would share whatever good things she had, and whatever secrets she had in her heart she would tell me, but it was just that on a certain day she suddenly disappeared, and couldn’t be found anywhere. I suspect that she is likely to have …… “The woman said to the end with a hint of choking, seems to be hard to hold on for a long time, finally in front of a stranger, remove the disguise.
Her body skeleton is small, arm slender, this gives a person a kind of soft and weak feeling, at this time a cry up more people can’t resist.
Gu Feiyu panicked at once, do not know what to do, froze for half a day before putting down the baton, will be on the coffee table toilet paper to the woman.
Receiving toilet paper, the woman was afraid to make up splattered, just gently rubbed the eyes: “I came back from work and saw the white shadow, the whole person was scared silly, do you think my sister is not taken away by that monster?”
Her voice was filled with a sense of despair, “Now that I’ve seen the White Shadow again, will I be the next person to go missing?”
”No.” The woman seemed to be too sad to notice that her posture was a little out of focus, and Gu Feiyu on the opposite side of the sofa saw it and voluntarily averted his eyes.
”I hope.” The woman picked up the drink in front of herself and gently touched the drink in front of Gu Feiyu: “Sorry to make you look at the joke.”
She lifted the drink up, Gu Feiyu only reacted at this time, and out of politeness, hurriedly picked up the drink and took a sip, “I don’t think there’s a need for you to be so pessimistic, there are a lot of people who have come to the neighborhood in the past few days to inquire about your sister, she’s definitely still alive, only that she might not have the means to see you for the time being due to some special reasons.”
The drink just came out from the refrigerator, refreshing and moisturizing the throat, the taste is very good, Gu Feiyu again unconsciously drank a mouthful: “Your sister disappearance has her suffering, anyway, I don’t believe in what ghosts and monsters and so on, she is presumed to be guilty of something, and want to escape from the law sanctions before making up this excuse. In fact, people who hide like her are quite sad, even the closest people can’t go to see, what’s the point of living?”
”You don’t understand her, you guys have never really gotten to know her.” The woman’s expression was pained, and her timbre appeared to change slightly, “She’s the best sister in the world, willing to share even her most beloved things with me.”
Gu Feiyu was a bit tired, he hugged his baton and leaned on the sofa, “It seems that your relationship is indeed good.”
The woman seemed to fall into memories, she looked at the drink on the coffee table that was half drunk by the security guard, “When I was very young, someone often bullied me, my sister was always the first one to stand up and help me, then we grew up together, but the differences in personality became more and more obvious, I’m selfish and love to cry and make a fuss, but no matter what wrongdoings I did, my sister would always tolerate me. She was a perfect person, beautiful, dignified and smiling.”
”I was very ignorant at that time, and the more she tolerated me, the more I hated her. I disliked all that she liked, she liked white, I liked black, it had to be the opposite of her.”
”It went on like that for months until that came along.”
Scowling at the guard, the woman spoke after a long time, “As much as it pains me to admit it, my sister and I fell in love with the same thing.”
”In the neighborhood where we lived, there was a sunny and handsome boy who fell in love with my sister, he loved to listen to songs, write and sang very well.”
”Whenever he dated my sister, I felt like my heart was in my throat, I didn’t want my favorite thing to become someone else’s private property.”
”My sister and I looked so much alike that I started wearing the same makeup and clothes as my sister.”
”The first few dates went well, but gradually the boy found out my secret, after all, I was not my sister, our personalities were completely different.”
”I cried and tried to stay, but he only loved my sister.”
The green veins on the woman’s arms were a bit scary, she was emotional, but Gu Feiyu, who was sitting across from her, looked as if he couldn’t see it, couldn’t fight his way out of it, as if he had stayed up for too long and was a bit sleepy.
”For him, I gave up my dignity and went to beg my sister. But my sister, who has always loved me, was silent this time.”
”We didn’t speak for a full week, and then my sister made a concession, saying that she would invite the boy to the house and let him make his own choice.”
”The boy was so excited when he heard that his sister was going to invite him to her house that he bought new clothes and flowers and stayed up all night recording a song that was his sister’s favorite.”
”When we arrived at my house, the boy expressed his love to his sister, but instead of accepting right away, she called me out and wanted the boy to make his own choice.”
”I had never looked forward to something like that before, but just a few seconds passed and all my expectations were shattered.”
”The boy didn’t hesitate, he chose my sister.”
Fingers gouged into flesh, and after all these years, the woman could still feel the sting.
She breathed heavily for a long time before she calmed down, “I felt like I was being torn apart, the pain was unspeakable, I wanted to just leave and run away to a place where no one was around.”
”My sister saw my pain, she seemed to have predicted this outcome.”
”In my greatest despair, it was again my sister who stepped forward, she hand fed the boy a drink, took her long white dress off and took a kitchen knife out of the kitchen.”
”She told me that there was actually another alternative to white and black that would be fairer to anyone.”
As the woman spoke, she fished out a kitchen knife from underneath the sofa cushions and used the toilet paper Gu Feiyu handed over to wipe off her eyebrows and face makeup.
She seemed to remember something she had done a long time ago, and held up the knife towards Gu Feiyu, who was physically unable to move, the wig coming off and the bare face coming up to Gu Feiyu’s ear.
”Darling, black, white, and red, which color do you prefer?”
