This wasn't Big Sister's magic trick.
It was Big Sister's spell.
Xu Enguang suddenly understood.
That was right.
Could a magic trick really make a flower bloom out of thin air without using any props?
Xu Enguang shook his head slightly.
No matter how amazing it was, magic had its limits...
Xu Enguang's eyes shone.
The more he thought back on the moments he'd spent with Big Sister, the more he believed Xiao-gege's words.
Maybe the rest was just his imagination...
But this bookmark...
The flower inside it...
That should count as ironclad proof, right?
Xu Enguang gently rubbed the surface of the bookmark with his fingers.
It was a gift from Big Sister.
A gift from... a monster...
Aside from his memories, it was his only connection to Big Sister.
And his memories...
Right now, he'd only forgotten what Big Sister looked like.
There was no telling whether he'd eventually forget all the moments he'd spent with her, too.
He only vaguely remembered that someone like Big Sister existed.
That made this gift all the more precious.
Because... it was the only proof that the time he'd spent with Big Sister had been real.
What if...
What if one day he forgot everything about Big Sister?
Xu Enguang's fingers stopped moving over the bookmark.
After a long moment, he suddenly smiled.
If he forgot, then he wouldn't know anything about it.
He wouldn't feel anything, either.
How could he worry about all these things he was thinking about now?
No.
He shook his head.
He wouldn't forget.
If he even forgot Big Sister...
Then, in that long stretch of memories, there really wouldn't be anything worth looking back on.
Wouldn't that make him a little pitiful?
Xu Enguang got up and sat
