This key looks very ordinary, with a cross handle and a flat key plate without any decoration.It is impossible to tell where the lock can be opened just by its appearance.

But to Shao Jun's surprise, when the firelight from the stove under the stove was projected onto the key board, three colorful small characters—Yao Yingyi—appeared out of thin air on the originally undecorated metal plane.

Shao Jun chewed the name carefully in his heart.

Just like when he saw his brother for the first time in that dark room, these three words seemed to have an indescribable magical power, like a key in his hand, gently opened a door in Shao Jun's mind again. Door.

Shao Jun seemed to be able to smell the refreshing smell of flames burning spices in his nostrils, and what he saw was no longer the dark, damp and cold kitchen.

He felt that he was stepping on the soft blanket with bare feet, walking through rows of wooden bookshelves, towards a place where he didn't know where but felt extremely at ease.

This may be a memory he lost.

Shao Jun was thinking like this, allowing himself to be immersed in memories, forgetting the attack just a moment ago.

"Jun Jun, come here." Brother's familiar voice came from a distance.

Following the sound, Shao Jun's body involuntarily quickened his pace.

He saw himself trotting across the bookshelves, without putting on the slippers at the boundary between the blanket and the floor, and approaching his brother by the fireplace in the back of the room barefoot.

My brother squatted by the fireplace and pointed to the two keys in front of him: "It's done."

As he spoke, he held up a handful and handed it to Shao Jun.

Looking at his elder brother in front of him, Shao Jun felt a strong joy in his heart.That kind of emotion blurred everything around him, leaving only one person in front of him undoubtedly occupying his entire field of vision.

The elder brother in front of him saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, so he directly grabbed his palm and put the key in his palm.

He held the key carefully, bent down and half squatted by the fireplace with his brother, and turned to check the key he had just received.In the firelight lingering with the soothing aroma, the two colorful characters Junjun on the key board emerged out of thin air.

Shao Jun originally thought that he would say something to praise the brother who made the key, but this was not the case in his memory.Taking advantage of his brother's unpreparedness, he mischievously grabbed another key.

The words that appeared on the key in the firelight were the words Yao Yingyi.

"Brother, did you do it on purpose! Why did you write a nickname on my key, while your own is so formal."

The elder brother on the opposite side lowered his head slightly, his shoulders shrugged slightly with the uncontrollable laughter.

"Brother!" Shao Jun saw that he put down the key angrily, and pushed his brother to the ground.He looked down at his brother under him, and suddenly fell silent.

But Shao Jun knew that he had nothing to say at that time, even the turbulent emotions in his heart kept pounding his heart, and he wanted to say that sentence more than ever.

But he didn't dare to say it, and he was afraid to say it.

Shao Jun felt that his lips were constantly opening and closing, but he couldn't get out the words that were lingering on the tip of his tongue.

"Brother, I...I..."

At this moment, Yao Yingyi who was below him suddenly lost all expression. He pressed Shao Jun's shoulder, pushed him away and stood up: "Jun Jun, we are brothers."

Shao Jun only noticed that he was unconsciously saying sorry, he staggered back a few steps, suddenly stepped on something, twisted and fell to the ground.

He looked sideways at the thing that made him fall in a trance.

An open book lay at his feet.And the place where the book was opened happened to be a double-page illustration.The illustration depicts a monstrously hideous, half-human monster.

In an instant, Shao Jun woke up from the memory, and pulled his thoughts back to the dark and damp kitchen again.

He noticed that the monster in the painting had these beastly claws, very similar to the creature he had just attacked.This striking similarity occupied all his thoughts, and he didn't even bother to be surprised at his unethical feelings for his brother.

But at this moment, a burst of rapid and loud footsteps came from far and near.

Shao Jun didn't care about thinking about the monster's situation, and instinctively put the key back into his mouth and hid it.

Just as he closed his mouth, a drenched figure of Yao Yingyi appeared at the window, looking at Shao Jun sitting on the ground with tearful eyes.

"Junjun!"

Hearing a bang, Yao Yingyi rushed into the room and grabbed Shao Jun's arms.

"Jun Jun, what's wrong with you?" Yao Yingyi checked Shao Jun's body in a panic with trembling hands, and asked anxiously, "Who came in?"

Shao Jun patted Yao Yingyi's arm lightly, shook his head, then twisted his arms to signal Yao Yingyi to let go, and then wrote on his palm: "I'm fine, brother let go..."

Before the words were finished, Shao Jun was hugged tightly by Yao Yingyi.

The clothes that had absorbed the rainwater sent the chill to Shao Jun's skin along the tightly connected limbs of the two.Shao Jun couldn't help trembling, and Yao Yingyi immediately let go of his embrace.

But Shao Jun took his arm and wrote on the palm of his hand: "It's okay, brother."

Yao Yingyi rubbed Shao Jun's beautiful fingers in his palm, looking at Shao Jun who was wet and dirty, trembling slightly from the cold, his heart ached.Immediately, he hugged Shao Jun with one hand, and hurried towards the bedroom guarded by the iron gate, and said, "Jun Jun, don't worry, brother is here, no one can hurt you."
