He Chusan knelt on the ground and was beaten without dodging or dodging. He was unusually sensible since he was a child, and Abba He also emphasized the way of education. He has only beaten him twice in his life. The last time was when he broke his leg and hid it from Abba. However, the last time Abba He took a stick and He Chusan howled and begged for mercy miserably, but this time, no matter how Abba He beat him to death, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
When Abba He saw his unrepentant appearance, he was even more angry! At the critical moment, the old man did not lose the chain at all, and did not commit cerebral thrombosis or heart disease at all. He kicked He Chusan to the ground with one foot, and he was half-dead. Xinxin and Wu Ma came to stop them many times, but they were pushed away by him yelling and yelling.
Seeing that He Chusan began to curl up and cough under the stick, whether it was because of the pain or because of the cold and sore throat, Xinxin couldn't stand it anymore, so she cried and threw herself on He Chusan, "You Fight! If you want to kill Brother, kill me first!"
"Get out of the way!" He Abba couldn't help his daughter.
"Brother saved me! I can give him my life!" Xinxin cried, "Brother said that Brother Liuyi also saved him, Brother Liuyi is so good, what's wrong with him like Brother Liuyi? Why did you hit him! He was with Brother Liuyi, and he never hurt anyone! Just because he likes Brother Liuyi, isn't he your son!"
He couldn't get back to his father after she said a word. Seeing He Chusan lying miserably on the ground, he couldn't fight anymore. He threw away the broom angrily, turned and opened the door and strode away. Wu Ma looked at He Chusan worriedly, told Xinxin to stay and take care of him, and hurriedly chased after He Abba - afraid that he would have a heart attack, she wanted to wait for him to calm down before persuading him.
He Chusan was lying on the ground, the world was spinning, his stomach twitched, and he vomited out the whole dinner.
In a trance, he was lifted up by Xinxin and walked to the bedroom. However, before he touched the bed, he fell softly under his feet.
"Brother!" Xinxin was startled.
"I'm fine," He Chusan closed his eyes and said softly, "Daddy didn't call anything important, don't take me to the hospital. I haven't slept for a long time, let me sleep for a while."
He was dazed and thought he might really be sick. He has always been healthy and energetic, and he can't remember the last time he fell ill. He has never been so exhausted in body and mind as he is now. In the eyes of others, he is a young hero, an elite in the industry, and a "boy who makes money" as the people in the world call him. He is young and rich, smart, alert, confident and calm. But he's not flawless, he's not invincible, and he can't easily play with applause. For every ounce of beauty in front of others, he has paid countless points of effort behind them. He was born and raised in Jiaolong Fortress. The helplessness and embarrassment of life haunted his childhood. He was used to seeing sorrow and separation, and he was used to seeing ups and downs. How many people can do everything they want and are bound to get it? The invincible and omnipotent protagonist in the movie, who can easily do it in reality? He is alone, young and weak. If he wants to turn the tide and turn the tide, he needs to go through many difficulties and hardships, and how much hard work he has to put in. He knows it clearly, so step by step is like walking on thin ice.
During this period of time, on the one hand, he secretly investigated, moved around, worked diligently, laid out the network and accumulated capital for the future big action; and. The hard work day after day, the high degree of mental tension, the tension and concern for Xia Liuyi, the fatigue of running around, and the depression of insomnia have gradually emptied him... Dad's anger and disappointment towards him are crushing him. The last straw.
He felt remorse - grief and loss made him forget to pick up the lost ring; he felt guilt - he had never thought to irritate and hurt Abba like this, even if he confessed to Abba one day, he would have been fully prepared for it , wouldn't be so passive and hasty; he felt anxious - Xia Liuyi had not asked him for peace, he was a little unsure of how much he weighed in Xia Liuyi's heart, he was afraid that Xia Liuyi would go his own way, and he would not have time to start Already on the road of no return. However, he has no energy to think about what to do now, he will not stop, he will not give up, but he is very tired and really wants to take a break, even if it is only for one night.
He was in a daze, feeling that he was being dragged onto the bed by Xinxin, then wiped his face with a towel, helped him get up and rinsed his mouth, took off his coat and trousers, and put them on his shoulders on his back. He smeared some bruises on the red, swollen and bruised areas and covered the quilt. He exhausted all his energy and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Xinxin turned off the bedroom lights and backed out. While cleaning up the mess in the living room, she sighed, and felt very upset for her brother—why did her father beat him? Such a good son! It doesn't bother anyone if you like a man!
While complaining in a low voice to her father, she cleaned and tidy up the room. When she saw the clock on the wall, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, but she did not see her big brother, sister-in-law, returning home. So I simply dug out He Chusan's eldest brother and wanted to make a phone call to tell my sister-in-law to come back soon. I flipped through the call log column for a while, and found that He Chusan had only been talking to some people who seemed to be colleagues and customers in the past few days. She turned to the phone book again, and she didn't see Xia Liuyi's name, but there was a person named "Kitten" who had sent a message to He Chusan many days ago. Sister-in-law no doubt.
Kitten refers to kittens.
"Pfft..."
Xinxin was caught off guard by the show of affection, thinking that her handsome sister-in-law was a kitten in his brother's mind, she couldn't help but shivered with goosebumps while holding back her laughter.
She was just about to dial the number when she suddenly felt that something was wrong—the coffee table at home was full of dust, my brother said that he slept in the company for several days, my brother was very haggard, and the diamond ring was thrown in the crevice of the cupboard, so late Sister-in-law didn't go home either, their phone contact has been cut off for a long time...
She was secretly surprised, and the woman's intuition told him that the two were likely to break up.
Since we broke up, why didn't you tell Dad just now? At least you get hit less!
Now that they broke up, why are sister-in-law's things still here? Didn't he take it away
Xinxin couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, she just didn't bother to think about it anymore, and she stopped calling for the time being - she didn't know the situation between the two, maybe her brother was blaming her for being troublesome.
She was sitting on the sofa with her coat on, and was going to sleep here tonight, and buy some cold medicine for her brother when it was dawn tomorrow. Turning the TV to silent, the more she watched, the more confused she became, her head twitched little by little, and she was about to fall asleep immediately.
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound of the elevator door opening from the corridor outside, followed by a series of footsteps coming here, and then the sound of a key opening the door.
Suddenly alert, she jumped up, grabbed the broom and ran behind the door. The person who came hurriedly opened the door and was greeted by a big broom and Xinxin's nervous and alert face.
Xia Liuyi also had a nervous look on her face. Seeing that it was her, she was very puzzled, "Xinxin?".
"Brother Liuyi!" Xinxin was surprised and delighted, "You're back!"
"Where's your dad?" Xia Liuyi, as if facing a big enemy, probed into the house.
"Go! Go!"
Xia Liuyi came with the heroic feeling of contradicting He Abba and giving his life to save Asan. When he heard that he didn't have to confront He Abba head-on, he was relieved and then became nervous again, "Where's Asan?! How is he? Are you injured?"
"Inside..." Before Xinxin finished speaking, Xia Liuyi squeezed in beside her without taking off her shoes. Seeing that there was no one in the living room, she hurried to open the bedroom door.
"Shh, he's sleeping." Xinxin hurried up to stop him, "be quiet."
Xia Liuyi opened the door carefully, walked to the bed gently, and used the moonlight to see He Chusan's sleeping face. He Chusan's face was pale and haggard, his brows furrowed, and he looked deeply sad in his dreams. For a moment, his heart ached, he couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and he was afraid of waking He Chusan, so he could only stop his movements abruptly.
After staring at He Chusan in a trance and infatuation for a while, he woke up and quickly withdrew lightly.
"What's wrong with him?" he asked Xinxin in a low voice, "where is the injury?"
"There are only some skin injuries, so he was smeared and beaten with alcohol. But he has a cold, and his spirit is very poor. He vomited just now." Xinxin said, she was keenly aware of the strangeness, "How do you know he was beaten?"
Xia Liuyi said embarrassedly, "Cough, I put bodyguards next door."
Abba He was beating and scolding just now, and the movement could be heard through the wall. The bodyguard heard that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly called the boss. The boss was drifting at sea to accompany Qiao Ye to have fun. When he heard that his sister-in-law was beaten by his husband, he was so frightened that his heart jumped into the sea. He quickly lied that the company was in a hurry, and asked a few pretty girls to take Qiao Ye to the cabin to play 'electricity'. Game', he took another motorboat and rushed back.
"Why did your father beat him?" he asked suspiciously. He Chusan has always been filial, sensible, and considerate, so he shouldn't do anything that would provoke Abba He into rage or even act.
Xinxin touched her pocket and found the diamond ring she had just picked up while cleaning, and reached out to Xia Liuyi's eyes, "Here! Dad picked it up!"
Xia Liuyi's eyes widened at the big diamond ring that shone brightly and was incomparably conspicuous—wasn't it thrown by Asan? ! Did he not pick it up after throwing it? ! Was discovered by Father He? !
"Then, that Abba, he, he..." He stammered for a moment.
"He found out about you!" Xin Xin said.
"..." Xia Liuyi's ear suddenly sounded a deafening roar of a big tooth drill! For the first time in my life, my calf is weak! He tremblingly covered his cheeks, which were beginning to be sore, and stayed on the spot, at a loss!
Xinxin's face turned pale when she saw him, and she covered her face and trembled. She couldn't help laughing or laughing. When she recalled her brother's panic when his father discovered the ring just now, she felt that her brother and sister-in-law were really cowardly. Yes, a pair on the ground. A financial elite, a big gangster, he was calling for wind and rain outside, galloping on the battlefield, and when he came home, he saw his father blowing his beard and staring at him, he hugged his head and fled...
She couldn't get used to Xia Liuyi's frightened appearance, and questioned the current relationship between Xia Liuyi and He Chusan, and also smelled the sensual smell of his body - the smell of wine, smoke, and the smell of women's perfume. - Immediately very indignant, "Did you go out drinking with someone?!"
Xia Liuyi looked even more embarrassed, "Cough, I have work to talk about."
"Have you not been in touch with my brother for a long time?" Xinxin asked pressingly, "Did you break up with him? Did you bully him?"
Xia Liuyi was pushed into the corner by her, very embarrassed, "It's not what you think, we didn't break up, we just quarreled..."
Xinxin glared angrily, and said, "Brother was almost killed because of you! You not only quarreled with him! You also went out drinking with others! Sister-in-law, you are too much!"
You just said it doesn't matter to him! How was he beaten? ! Xia Liuyi was guilty and worried, completely ignoring Xinxin's "sister-in-law".
"I don't care, you hurry up and make up with him!" Xinxin said decisively, "Brother is not in a good mood, not in good health, and he was beaten because of you! You are not allowed to leave tonight, you have to Take good care of him and apologize to him when he wakes up!"
Xia Liuyi nodded quickly. He won't leave, and even if Father He rushes back tonight and beat him to death, he won't leave.
"Also, keep the ring," Xinxin shoved the diamond ring back into his hand, "How can something so important be thrown around?! How could you be so careless!"
Xia Liuyi was scolded again inexplicably, and he was too embarrassed to speak - the conscience of heaven and earth, the ring was obviously thrown by He Chusan.
Xinxin criticized him raggedly, and finally handed over the task of taking care of He Chusan to him, and prepared to leave.
"Warning you not to bully my brother again! I'll be back tomorrow to check!"
Xia Liuyi nodded helplessly, "Go back quickly. It's getting late, ask the bodyguard next door to take you back."
"Forget it, let them stay and protect you! In case another bad guy comes to kill my brother! Do you know how hard it is for him to date you?!" Xinxin stabbed him before leaving.
Xia Liuyi was stabbed by her to the point of bleeding seven orifices, and quickly waved to her to see off the guests, and in her heart she attributed Xinxin's terrifying level to the back of Abba He and He Chusan who was smiling strangely.
After Xinxin left, he put the ring on the bedside table, then carefully checked He Chusan's condition, twisted a wet towel to wipe He Chusan's sweat, washed himself, and finally went to bed cautiously. Next to He Chusan.
He also hadn't slept well for a long time. The night without He Chu San was as deadly and suffocated as sinking into a swamp.
Touching He Chusan's face, he silently watched He Chusan for a long time in the moonlight, until his consciousness finally became blurred, and then he took He Chusan into his arms and closed his eyes. fell asleep.
…
Xia Liuyi had a not-so-good dream, and when he opened his eyes sweating profusely, he had forgotten all the contents of the dream. He stared blankly at the room full of morning light, and then subconsciously reached out and probed He Chusan's forehead, feeling hot to the touch.
He quickly got out of bed and called the private doctor. The doctor came in a hurry, gave He Chusan a fever-reducing injection, and hung drips on the bedside.
Xia Liuyi changed ice cubes and towels back and forth to cool He Chusan's forehead. The doctor was the one who was invited to Thailand before. At that time, he witnessed Mr. He's careful and thoughtful service to the boss day after day, and had already guessed the relationship between the two. Now that he saw the boss taking care of the sleepy Mr. He nervously, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you leave the 'that' in there after you did the 'thing' last night and didn't clean it up for him?"
"Fuck you!" Xia Liuyi scolded, worried that He Chusan would be disturbed, so he quickly lowered his voice, "I didn't."
"It's really not cleaned up?!" The doctor cast a condemning look.
Xia Liuyi's mind couldn't help but the ambiguous scene He Chusan cleaned up for him after the incident. He couldn't help but itch at the back door, and his face turned red with embarrassment, "What are you thinking about? We didn't do anything last night. ."
The doctor cast a distrustful look. Big Brother Xia was inexplicably labeled as a "scumbag" again.
…
At noon, Xinxin came over to check whether the sister-in-law was bullying the elder brother, as well as the raw fish porridge cooked by Wu Ma. Seeing that He Chusan had a high fever, was wearing drips, and was weak and lethargic, she felt resentful and wanted to criticize her sister-in-law. But seeing A-sister's anxious and guilty look, she felt that the other party knew something was wrong, so she could only go home and express her anger to Abba He - Brother was beaten by you until he had a high fever! They're going to die!
Dad He was still angry, but he couldn't help feeling sorry for his son, and muttered angrily, "I won't hit him, and I won't care about him! He can do whatever he likes!"
He thought of what He Chusan's mother said before her death: "Son is your surname, don't let him be a gangster". Now, although my son is not involved in the underworld, he is messing with the underworld people on the bed! What's the difference? ! He carefully nurtured and taught him earnestly, and finally hoped that his son would grow up and become an adult, but he ended up taking such a devious path! The other party is still a man! How can he be worthy of He Chusan's mother!
And that Xia Liuyi! He looks upright and upright, and he can be regarded as a reasonable man with a sense of etiquette. He looks a little more reliable than those swindlers out there. That's why he tolerated his son's dealings with Xia Liuyi. The results of it? ! This street tycoon didn't kidnap women from a good family, but abducted a young boy from a good family!
Dad He was so sad, he went up to the rooftop to smoke a smouldering cigarette, and the big cigarette rod was rattling. Wu Ma brought him a bowl of porridge and tried to persuade him. Seeing that he was still angry and he couldn't enter the oil and salt, she could only sigh and go down again.
…
In the middle of the night, He Chusan woke up with a pungent burnt smell. He still had a fever, and he was not very conscious. He only felt in a daze that his kitchen was on fire. He struggled out of bed, and headed out of the bedroom top-heavy.
At the same time, Xia Liuyi ran out of the kitchen where the smoke was billowing in confusion while covering his nose and coughing, wearing an apron and holding a spoon in his hand. The two faced each other and were dumbfounded.
Am I dreaming? He Chusan thought blankly, dreaming that Brother Liuyi was cooking for me? How could he burn the kitchen even in his dreams
Xia Liuyi quickly tore off his apron and said embarrassedly, "Cough... Xinxin delivered porridge at noon, I want to warm you up."
He Chusan opened his eyes, looked at him in a fog, lowered his head and rubbed his face, and finally woke up.
"Why are you here?" His expression instantly became indifferent.
For the first time, Xia Liuyi took the initiative to build steps after the quarrel, wiped the sweat from his face embarrassedly, and put the spoon on the cupboard beside him, "You still have a fever, go back to bed first."
He approached to help He Chusan, but He Chusan took a step back to avoid his hand, "How do you know I'm sick? Where's my mom and dad? Where's Xinxin?"
Xia Liuyi didn't know where to start, and he didn't dare to pull him forcibly, so he could only persuade, "Go back to bed first, and I'll tell you slowly."
He followed He Chusan into the house. He Chusan got into bed by himself and sat on the head of the bed. Xia Liuyi walked over and sat beside the bed, still not knowing where to start, so he could only pick up the ring on the bedside table and hand it to him, nervously picking up a very clumsy remark, "I got the ring back. ."
"My dad got it back," He Chusan corrected him, "You can keep it."
Xia Liuyi choked on him for a while, unable to speak for a long time. He didn't have the skill of coaxing people like He Chusan. After thinking about it, he finally said, "Do you remember what you said before, 'We won't quarrel or get angry in the future'?"
"Brother Liuyi, don't you understand yet?" He Chusan looked at him sadly, "We are not quarreling this time, nor are we angry, we are divided..."
Xia Liuyi covered his mouth, "Don't say that word! I didn't agree!"
He Chusan looked at him silently, with the words in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if you agree or not? I can make a unilateral decision."
"What do you want me to do?" Xia Liuyi let go and said in pain, "I really don't want to quarrel with you, and I will never part with you!"
He Chusan remained silent.
Xia Liuyi stood up, walked a few steps in the room irritably, and finally sat back by the bed, took out the photo from his pocket, and said, "Don't you just want to know this photo? Yes, I admit it. , It is related to Qinglong, and my trip to Thailand is also related to Qinglong. In the photo, this Thai man killed Qinglong's father and also killed Qinglong. I went to Thailand to seek revenge for him. I lied to you before, I am afraid you will worry, I'm afraid you won't let me go, it's my fault!"
He Chusan glanced at the photo, "There are three people on it, and there are two more?"
"… "
Xia Liu paused for a while before saying, "One is Qinglong's father, and the other has nothing to do with this matter. These things are over, I... I will not go anywhere in the future, I will be with you in peace, okay? it is good?"
He Chusan met his implicitly flickering eyes, and the rain and fog in his heart condensed into frost bit by bit.
-Since Xia Liuyi admitted that the Thai man in the photo had something to do with Qinglong's death, could the other person, Xie Yingjie, still have nothing to do with him? If it is true that Xia Liuyi said that everything has ended in Thailand, how can Xia Liuyi continue to fall into nightmares, murmuring revenge and hatred over and over again? How could this photo be considered so important, not only to keep it close to the body, but also to rage and ask him for it after it was lost
He didn't want to expose Xia Liu's half-truth "confession", which would expose his relationship with Lu Guangming, but at this time, he was really tired and hurt by this relationship. Xia Liuyi's cowardice, withdrawal, stubbornness, and deceit in his relationship, like a sharp blade, stabbed into his heart one by one.
He suddenly felt that his persistence, his dedication, and the careful care he had always taken for the relationship between the two seemed meaningless. Does Xia Liuyi really love him, or just treat him as a companion who is attentive and pleasant to get along with? And he had always thought that he loved Xia Liuyi deeply without any intention of repaying or caring about it, so why did he gradually begin to feel sad, wronged, dissatisfied, and even jealous
"Don't be naive, Brother Liuyi. How can these things come to an end? There will always be a person between me and you. As long as you still have him in your heart, you still remember those kindnesses and grievances. We will always be two. People from all over the world. How can they be together?"
"I'm so tired," he said softly. "The two of us... Forget it."
