When Sheffield came back with the ice, the girl was holding her knees and crying silently.
If she hadn't wiped her eyes, Sheffield would have thought that she was having a rest.
"Why are you crying? It was just a bump on the head. You girls are so delicate!" Sheffield walked over and said maliciously.
Hearing his voice, Alina froze. Hadn't he left? Why did he come back?
She raised her head with tears on her eyelashes. Ashamed and annoyed, she said unhappily, "My head is not a stone. You bump your head to see if it hurts!"
Instead of replying to her, Sheffield kept his mouth shut and passed her a pack of ice and a towel.
Alina was deeply moved. She looked at Sheffield with eyes full of disbelief and gratitude. She couldn't believe that he had left to fetch her a towel and ice!
"Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, I'll throw it away!" Seeing the excitement on the girl's face, Sheffield looked away from her uncomfortably and said impatiently.
'What's wrong with him? Why is he so kind?'
Alina turned tears into smiles, "Please give it to me! Give it to me!" She took the towel and ice immediately and said, "Thank you!"
Sheffield didn't speak. He went back to the sit-ups with a straight face.
Alina wrapped the ice in the towel and put it on her forehead, watching him from the corner of her eye.
The hero should still be kind now, otherwise he wouldn't bring the ice and towel to her. Maybe if she was a little more active, she could settle the animosity between them.
The dim road seemed to be lit up by a starry light. The corners of Alina's mouth curled up slightly.
The air in the gym was extremely quiet and harmonious. Looking at the rising and falling figure of the boy, Alina suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Sheffield, I was ignorant before. I apologize to you. Don't hate me anymore, okay?"
She did not like to live in fear every day, though she lived the life of another person.
Instead of guessing, she was more willing to tell him.
Sheffield froze for a second and quickly sat up. He looked at the girl with the ice on her head and expectation in her eyes, and refused coldly with a dark face, "You wish!"
Since Wendy and Alaina came to the Xu Family, he had suffered many injustices and insults under the table. Now she wanted to write them off with an apology. How could it be so easy?
The boy stood up and walked aggressively to the girl who was sitting on the treadmill. He looked down at her and said sarcastically, "Do I have to forgive you just because you apologize?"
Alina raised her head and looked into the boy's gloomy eyes. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
What he said made her speechless. Since the wound had been caused, apologies could not erase the scars. It was reasonable for him not to forgive.
After a pause, Alina replied seriously, "No, It is your right not to forgive me."
Hearing this, Sheffield stared at her face, looking thoughtfully.
He was basically sure that she had lost her memory. But had her character really changed?
Was it possible that she was another person?
There was a disease called schizophrenia. A person had two or more personalities. Perhaps for some reason, his sister changed her personality to another one.
"You are not her, are you?" Sheffield said in a slow and certain voice, staring at the girl.
A shock registered on Alina's face. 'He's so sensitive and smart to figure out such an absurd thing, ' she thought.
She hesitated to tell him the truth.
If he knew that she wasn't Alaina who had bullied him before, would he forgive her and make friends with her? But she was afraid that he would vent his anger on her!
The surprise of the girl was noticed by Sheffield. He asked calmly, "You're not her, but you know her, right?"
"How do you know?" Asked Alina in shock.
Ignoring the astonishment of Alina, Sheffield continued to ask, "Does she know about you?" As far as he knew, not every personality knew the existence of another personality.
Since he had guessed it, Alina gave up the secret and answered moodily, "I don't think so."
Sheffield somehow relieved from this answer. He asked, "Do you know all the things she had done to me?"
Alina thought for a while and said, "No, I just know a little about it." After all, there were few descriptions of the hero's boyhood in the novel.
"It was you who brought me the noodles that night, not her, wasn't it?" Sheffield was sure. No wonder she would bring noodles to him. It turned out that it was not the same personality.
"Yes." The hero really had sharp observation and thinking.
After a moment, Sheffield suddenly asked, "When will she appear?"
Hearing this question, Alina was confused and shook her head. How did she know that? She was even confused why she would appear in the novel.
"You mean she won't show up or you don't know?" Sheffield wasn't satisfied with her shake of head. Her answer was too vague.
"If she doesn't show up, would you mind not taking out your resentment against her on me?" asked Alina seriously.
They were not the same person at all, although they shared a body.
Sheffield looked slightly surprised. He did not think she would ask this. "You didn't do it. Why do you mind?" he asked in confusion.
Alina was stunned. Why did she mind? How could she not mind? If she didn't mind, she would be punished severely in the future!
In addition, she felt that Sheffield accepted her identity too calmly. He didn't even ask her about her real identity.
"Because I like you!" Then Alina made up a white lie. She believed that love could explain everything.
Looking at the sincere and pure eyes of Alina, Sheffield was stunned. Then he cleared his throat and looked around.
She continued with her bright eyes, "I always wanted to have a brother since I was a child. He would listen to me, care for me and give me pocket money..."
Listening to her words, Sheffield's expression kept changing. He glanced at her disdainfully, as if he was looking at an idiot. Did she really want a brother? She only wanted a boyfriend!
After hesitating for a while, Alina looked at the boy and said, "I'll be a good sister in future. So let's be good brother and sister who love each other!"
