After getting off the high-speed rail station and taking the subway to the vicinity of the community, Ren Suo felt a sense of home that he had not seen for a long time.
Strange to say, this may be the first time in two years that he has returned home on a regular basis.
He went home for the first time this year. He was transferred from Lianjiang City to Baiyun City lying in the ambulance, completely unconscious.
The second time I went home, I was sitting in Qiao Muyi's car, like a baby boy who had been harassed many times by the female driver, and he was stroking the cat and staring at Qiao Muyi along the way, how could he want to get home
This is the third time I go home, and now is the time when I honestly take public transportation and enjoy the convenience of urban facilities, the speeding high-speed rail, the security check of the subway, the slightly crowded flow of people, and the slightly shaking carriages, let Ren Suo taste the "waiting" 'The taste of happiness.
Ren Suo doesn't like traveling, and one of the important reasons is that he doesn't like spending time in traffic. Ren Suo, who suffered from motion sickness since he was a child, has experienced many emergencies in which he was vomited by the bus during spring and autumn outings, and has become more and more resistant to going out. After all, there are not subways everywhere.
And even if he could take a taxi, Ren Suo still had to talk to people with different accents and move while looking at an unfamiliar map before arriving at his destination. These undoubtedly made Ren Suo very troublesome.
But going home is different.
Going home is returning to a familiar place from a strange place. You can plan your route without a map. The expected crowds in line, the usual station announcements, and even the voice of chatting are full of familiar swear words... It makes people feel at ease.
However, when Ren Suo and his sister were changing subway lines, his sister suddenly stopped him.
"Can you... go home?"
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment: "We are going home."
"I mean, go back to Lianjiang," Ren Xingmei pleaded in her voice, "I'll call my mom to explain later, can I see them again after a while? We don't need to be in such a hurry."
As she got closer to her familiar home, Ren Xingmei became more and more afraid.
She thought she was strong enough to face everything that happened, she thought she was ready to fly to the fire, she thought that the determination she made in junior high school would crush all gossip.
But no.
Moths fly into flames because there is nothing in the darkness, so even if there is only a glimmer of light, moths are willing to burn the whole world just to warm themselves.
But Ren Xingmei's world is not all dark. She was born to be guarded by the warm sun and taken care of by the mischievous moon.
If Dong Chengling knew her sincerity, and Qiao Muyi guessed her wrong love, it just made Ren Xingmei a little embarrassed, then Ren Xingmei suspected that she would lose her sanity when facing her parents.
Ren Xingmei loves her parents more than anyone else, and Ren Suo is no match for her in terms of deeds and hearts—60% of the elopement fund prepared by Ren Xingmei is pensions for her parents, which is enough to keep their blood pressure Travel around the world with the highest standard before it is too high to board the plane, and even come a few more times if you still want to.
She has written in very detailed plans for several years, how to tell her parents when the time comes, what to do if they break up, how to prepare a heart-saving pill, and how often to go home after elopement...
But now that Ren Suo didn't even give an answer, Ren Xingmei didn't even dare to see her parents.
She was afraid of Ren Suo giving an answer she didn't want to hear, but she was even more afraid of Ren Suo giving an answer that would disappoint her parents.
Ren Xingmei, who has always hated escape and believes that a happy future depends on hard work with both hands, subconsciously wants to drag Ren Suo back to Lianjiang to escape reality.
In fact, as long as they don't tell, parents don't know anything; even if Ren Suo doesn't give an answer, Ren Xingmei thinks it doesn't matter.
If the status quo can be maintained, it would be great for Ren Xingmei.
Perhaps, Ren Xingmei has been evading from the very beginning: save enough money before starting, go to college before thinking about it, graduate before making a move... After a while, Dong Chengling Qiaomu Yigu Yueyan popped up one by one.
She could only watch everything happen, using Ah Q's mental method to draw circles and curse them to hate her brother.
She had the closest relationship with Ren Suo from the very beginning, that's why she hesitated so much, like a child with a perfect cake, who wanted to taste the deliciousness, but didn't want to spoil the perfect appearance. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't I thought that someone would come to share the cake.
Last night, when other people discussed the issue of "who comes first", Ren Xingmei was somewhat disdainful and somewhat superior - she is Ren Suo's only childhood sweetheart, when they played mud together, you must have been less childish!
Therefore, Ren Xingmei would rather that Ren Suo did not answer her, and did not want their family relationship to undergo drastic changes right now.
She now also finds that she has been deceived by Lorifis, who said things like 'it's better for you to delay him' and 'are you willing' to encourage her, but Lorifis is not like her at all—
First, Lorifis and Los are not siblings!
Second, Lorifis is an orphan!
She envied Lorifis, but she couldn't be Lorifis.
Sensing the fear in his sister's voice, Ren Suo exhaled, held her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Has your brother lied to you?"
Even with your IQ, you can't fool me!
Ren Xingmei didn't even have the thought of complaining, and was led into the subway by Ren Suo like a puppy.
Ren Suo didn't let her go, as if he was afraid that the younger sister would escape and slip back to Lianjiang by herself, so he played with his phone while holding her hand.
When there was one station left from home, Ren Xingmei suddenly tried to break away from Ren Suo's palm, and Ren Suo subconsciously increased his strength. He is now a Rank 4 cultivator anyway, and his physique has been gradually enhanced after being promoted by the cyclone. With his physique, he can easily suppress his younger sister, a Rank 2 cultivator.
He saw his sister looking anxiously at the door, and when he stood up, he saw a girl standing behind them.
"Little Xingxing!" The girl greeted, "Long time no see, I heard you went to Tianlian Academy? Hey? Are you bringing your boyfriend home?"
Ren Xingmei: "He is my brother."
The girl looked at Ren Suo with little stars in her eyes: "Oh... wait, speaking of little stars, your brother, isn't it the Holy Fist that ranks at the top of the Rank 3 monk rankings..."
"That's right, that person is me, Ren Suo, the Sky Tribulation's hand!" Ren Suo said confidently.
The girl froze for a moment, all the little stars in her eyes shattered. After exchanging pleasantries with Ren Xingmei, she consciously walked to the other side and did not bother them any more.
After the acquaintance left, Ren Xingmei complained: "Why didn't you let go of my hand just now?"
"Why let go?"
"Avoid suspicion! It's not good to be seen by others. Fortunately, that person is my high school classmate, and he usually has a tight-lipped mouth, so he shouldn't talk nonsense."
Ren Suo scratched his head: "But you don't mean avoiding suspicion, right? Avoiding suspicion means doing things right, standing upright, and having a clear conscience. You look like you have a clear conscience..."
Ren Xingmei blushed and asked, "What about you?"
"I?"
Before Ren Suo could answer, the subway arrived. It was the nearest subway station to their hometown.
Ren Xingmei exhaled softly, waiting for Ren Suo to take her home. However, Ren Suo didn't lead her away until the screen door closed.
Noticing the puzzled look in his sister's eyes, Ren Suo smiled and said, "Before going home for dinner, accompany me to a place first."
After two stops, Ren Suo came out with his younger sister. Without looking at the signs and the map, Ren Suo took his sister to Exit F and left with ease.
As soon as she got out of the station, Ren Xingmei turned her head and saw several familiar white buildings: "The Second Southern Hospital?"
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, the hospital where Ren Suo lived when he was in a coma, is also the hospital where Ren Xingmei lived for the longest time.
Ren Suo took his younger sister to the hospital atrium. Although there was no flower garden fountain in the TV drama hospital in the atrium, there were also some grass and green plants and a few benches.
Patients come to sit in the atrium when they have free time. After all, the green grass looks very comfortable, without any garbage or trampling marks—in the garden of the hospital, there is a warning slogan "You step on my head today, and tomorrow I will grow on your grave" They all seem very powerful.
Ren Suo pulled his sister to sit down, looked at the passageway with people coming and going and the familiar building, suddenly pointed to the road beside the stream not far away and said: "It used to be a pebble road, right?"
"Not only is it not a pebble road, but there is also no stream." Ren Xingmei said, "I don't know where the running water is brought in."
"I don't know if the chubby head nurse is still there."
"It's been more than ten years. I remember that the head nurse was not young before. If she was still there, it would have been even worse."
"Perhaps, there used to be a handsome doctor who used to give me sweets, but now his bald photos are hung in the column of the chief physician at the door. Time is really a butcher's knife."
Talking about the hospital, Ren Suo and his sister opened their mouths, from doctors and nurses to architectural style, people who don't know heard their conversation, maybe they thought the two of them were interns without white coats.
While chatting, Ren Suo suddenly helped his forehead, and sighed: "This hospital actually occupies such a large memory share in my childhood..."
Ren Xingmei smiled and said, "After all, you used to accompany me in the hospital."
"It's not just the hospital," Ren Suo raised his head, looked at the white clouds above his head, and said, "There are also neighborhoods, homes, squares, shopping malls...we almost acted together when we were young. You have me in your memories, and I'm in my memories." have you."
Ren Suo said seriously: "I have always had very few friends, so I have always been thankful that I have you as my sister."
Ren Xingmei seemed to feel something, she closed her lips tightly, listening to Ren Suo's trial of her.
"It's very troublesome to meet new friends. Introduce yourself, adjust the three views, but unintentionally, you will hurt others, or be hurt by others... So Xingmei, you are the most special existence to me."
"The Adventure Little Tigers I watched with my fan blowing in the summer, I used the time I spent with you in the hospital to play fun games to clear the customs, the happy children I enjoyed with the firecrackers during the Spring Festival, and many, many, everything, you participate in."
"In my past life, to eat was to eat with you, to play was to play with you, to drink was to drink with you, to be happy was to be happy with you... Xingmei, you made up my life. Without you, I You can only make friends with loneliness."
Ren Suo looked at her sideways and said, "To you, I am equivalent to a similar existence."
"So, you will have some kind of illusion, some kind of false love. Secret love is the easiest way to move yourself and hypnotize your mood. The world in your eyes will wear a thick filter, making you mistakenly think that it is real. "
Ren Xingmei: "I..."
"Because if you like someone for a long time, it is equivalent to completely binding that person with your past. If you regret who you liked before, isn't it just denying all your previous time?"
Ren Xingmei bit her lips and stared at Ren Suo without saying a word.
"It took ten years to brew a pot of daughter red, but I was already drunk to the point of flesh and blood."
Ren Suo said softly: "Should all seeds bloom and bear fruit? Those seeds that fell into the saline-alkali soil, miraculously produced bitter fruits, and blossomed into flowers of evil fate, whether they never germinated from the beginning, is the best fate." ?”
"You are afraid of being seen by your classmates, and you are afraid of confessing to your parents. Can you bear the accusations and gossip that haven't happened yet?"
Mist appeared in Ren Xingmei's eyes, and she suddenly understood Gu Yueyan's mood, but she was completely inferior to Gu Yueyan—the seeds that germinated later still had room to compete, but the seeds that grew in the wrong place had to be uprooted fate.
"No, you can't bear it."
Ren Suo looked at the phone, took her hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home for dinner."
Ren Xingmei nodded silently, suddenly she was no longer afraid.
People are so strange. If you hand in half of your summer homework, you will be so disturbed that you can't sleep at night because you guess whether the teacher will find out or punish you. But if you just turned in blank assignments and expected the worst, it would be reassuring—the horror of the unknown far outweighs the tragedy.
Anxiety and fear are because you have been expecting and worrying in your heart, and it makes you feel that there may be a surprise in the next second.
Tragedy is not frightening, it is the surprise that does not belong to oneself that makes people worry about gains and losses.
Like a favorite TV show that might have a sequel.
But now that the sequel has been shot, she naturally let go of all her expectations and prepared herself mentally to draw a full stop to this story that was not interesting and even disgusted by everyone.
When she returned to the community, Ren Xingmei saw Ren's mother who was shopping for vegetables in front of her, she broke free from Ren Suo's hand, ran all the way to help her mother carry the vegetable basket, and switched to the persona of a good girl very naturally.
When Ren's mother saw Ren Suo, she was so angry that she couldn't beat her: "Look at you, you don't even know how to come over to help get things! Are you a lazy pig?"
Ren Suo, who was too lazy to take things, nodded: "I'm a lazy pig."
"Are you a pig? You're not even as good as a pig, you can't even get a cabbage!" Speaking of this, Mother Ren got angry, snorted coldly, and took her good daughter home.
Ren Suo scratched his head blankly, thinking that he just asked his mother to cook and order, so why are he so angry
After going home for a while, Dad Ren also rode his bicycle home. When he saw Ren Suo, his eyes lit up, he came over and patted Ren Suo on the shoulder, and said, "Let's have a drink later."
Ren Suo: "I don't drink..."
"When you're sad, you should take advantage of your worries." Dad Ren said with a happy face:
"If you don't drink, let's not drink white. When I passed by the canteen, I asked them to bring up a belt of beer, and I will drink it slowly. Your father has no class in the afternoon."
One of you skipped work and the other missed class. Isn't this life too interesting
When Ren Ma prepared a sumptuous meal and served it on the table, Ren Dad poured Ren Suo a full glass of beer, and said in an encouraging tone: "Son, don't worry, although you have gone astray, it's a big deal to start all over again, you are still young! "
Although she was very upset, she was her own son anyway, so Mother Ren reluctantly encouraged her: "In the future, you will be a man of nature. Parents can't help you. You can only rely on yourself to live a happy life."
Ren Suo was taken aback by what they said, and asked, "Did you all guess it?"
The kind-hearted Father Ren and the sighing Mother Ren nodded, and Mother Ren said: "You are my son, I know you poop and piss when you raise your ass, how can you hide it from me? Come on, so everyone Get comfortable."
Ren Xingmei looked at them with some doubts, she always felt that her brother and parents seemed to be on different channels.
Ren Suo thought that this was true, so he asked: "Then you have to answer me a question first."
Dad Ren: "Lin Xianyu."
Mother Ren: "I can't choose."
Ren Suo didn't bother to care about which channel their thoughts jumped to, and asked directly: "Are Xingmei and I real siblings?"
Ren Xingmei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ren Suo in astonishment, and then at her parents.
"Huh? Well, of course... hmm?"
The expressions of Ren's father and Ren's mother changed drastically in an instant, but they are both experienced old fritters. Ren's mother put down her chopsticks, calmed down with a smile and said, "Why do you ask such a question? Of course it's a kiss."
"I don't believe it," Ren Suo said bluntly, "It's useless for you to lie to me. I just need to take some of my sister's and your hair to test the DNA, and then I will know the result—"
It was too late to say it, but Ren's mother suddenly picked up a beer bottle, and she was about to smash the table to demonstrate, but was stopped by Ren's father, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed: "Calm down, you made all these dishes!"
Mother Ren panted heavily, thinking that the table full of food had cost her a lot of work, she slowly put down the beer bottle, stared at Ren Suo and said, "If you dare to do DNA testing, then you will never go back to this house in your life."
Father Ren also said: "Whether you are siblings or not, you are all our children. Suozi, your mother is serious. She doesn't want our relationship to deteriorate because of a useless DNA report. "
Ren Suo said: "I understand that if it were me, I would do the same. The best way to adopt a child is of course not to let her doubt her own life experience, and let her grow up happily. After all, a child with both parents Children, a lot of bullying can be avoided in childhood. The information of the original parents must also give way before the child grows up."
"But now that we've all grown up, don't we really have the right to know?"
Even so, Ren Suo was sure that his younger sister was adopted. After all, the figures of parents that appeared in the younger sister's childhood memories were completely different from Ren's parents.
But there is another possibility, that is, he was also adopted. On a dark and stormy night, when Ren Ma went to recharge the phone bill, suddenly...
Ren Ma squinted her eyes at them and said, "You don't have any yet."
"When will it be?"
"Let's wait until you both get married and start a family." Ren Ma said, "Only when you are both happy and no longer entangled by the phantoms of the past, I will let you know the truth."
Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei looked at each other, and Ren Xingmei nodded.
She is already very satisfied with the result!
Ren Suo and her are not siblings!
Although Ren Xingmei knows that this is meaningless, at most it is a little less morally flawed and less scruples in reproduction, but it does not help the relationship between the two of them.
Ren Suo thinks that her relationship is an illusion bound by the past, a secret love that cannot pass the test, and a flower of evil fate that should not bloom, so Ren Xingmei has nothing to do.
What Lorifis said is right, wishful thinking, then you have to be willing to gamble and admit defeat.
Ren Suo breathed out: "It's nothing, I just want to make sure about it. Anyway, you are my parents no matter what."
"I came back because I actually wanted to tell you another thing."
I'm coming!
Ren Mom Ren Dad, who was in a bad mood by this episode, recovered in an instant.
Needless to say, Father Ren was full of anticipation, waiting for Ren Suo to tell the news of his being dumped, and then comforting him as a father, guiding him, and hinting at him to pursue true happiness.
Ren's mother also refused to admit defeat, if she was dumped, she could continue to pursue her! As a human being, you must never give up hope, maybe someone will be blind again? If she wants to encourage her son, this lazy pig, to attack again, she must give her a cabbage back!
Facing the expectant eyes of his parents, Ren Suo coughed, and in the astonished sight of his sister, he took her hand and raised it up, saying:
"Dad, Mom, I like Xingmei."
Ren's father and mother blinked, as if they felt that they had heard something wrong.
"When I was young, I liked Xingmei because I thought she was my best friend and my sister who had to be protected."
"I liked Xingmei when I was young, because she, like games, is my purest first love."
"I like Xingmei now, because I hope that she who accompanied me in the first half of my life can continue to accompany me in the second half of my life."
"Brother..." Ren Xingmei couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Ren Suo turned his head, looked at her and blinked his eyes: "The seeds that fell on the saline-alkali land should not bloom and bear fruit, but it is not the seeds that should be blamed, but the saline-alkali land."
"Xingmei, you and I are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, your delusions, your false love, I have it all."
"You have been a game master I admire since you were a child. I used to hone my game skills. Did I really just want to play games? Yes, but the reason is more, I just want to find a reason to play with you."
Ren Xingmei murmured: "It turns out that your level has already been honed..."
Ren Suo's face darkened, and then he chuckled and said, "Our past has long been tightly bound and inseparable."
"I'm not moved by you, nor am I seeing one and loving the other, but... I suddenly have a new idea."
"You and I tried everything to save Zhao Ling'er, practiced sniper jumping hard to win the spearman in the next class, and helped parents with housework to buy games... You made me who I am now."
"There is nothing wrong with being bound by the past, because of the beautiful past, there is hope for the future.
"I also want to play more games with you, witness the development of games, play virtual reality VR games together, and welcome the holographic era of intubation behind the head together..."
"My future cannot live without you."
"And..." Ren Suo turned his head sideways, his eyes drifted, and his tone became erratic: "If you have too much debt, don't worry..."
Ren Xingmei listened to Ren Suo's messy confession stupidly, and after sorting it out, she suddenly smiled and said, "You like me because you want me to help you play games?"
"is it not OK?"
"How can there be a brother like you..."
"Because of having a sister like you."
Ren Xingmei blinked her eyes, with moonlight shining in her eyes, and said softly: "Oh, who told you to play the game so badly, I really can't stand it, then..."
"Little girl is not talented, and I am willing to agree to your request to form a team for the rest of my life. No matter what blame or gossip, I-"
Ren Suo shook his head: "No, as a saline-alkali land where the flowers of evil fate bloom, I have long since awakened. I will solve all the blame—"
Snapped!
While the two of them were chatting, Ren's father and Ren's mother did not drop the line.
They silently moved the food on the table to the safety of their backs, then put a dozen beer bottles on the table. Hearing Ren Suo's words, Ren's mother picked up two beer bottles and was about to smash them over - one of the advantages of her son becoming a monk is that he can fight without holding his hands, and can use any tool.
At this time, Dad Ren stopped her again: "Wait, son, let me ask you, what do you plan to do with the other girls?"
"Of course I can't let them down, I'm not a scumbag." Ren Suo said naturally.
For a moment, I didn't know if the word "below" was used in this way. Father Ren was silent, and he said to Mother Ren: "Wait a minute, I'll go and draw down the curtains, the family scandal must not be exposed."
Ren Suo's eyebrows jumped wildly when he saw it, and he stood up quickly and said, "Wait, can we discuss it calmly? Mom, put down the beer bottle first!"
Ren Ma gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Fuck, trough, ni, ma!"
Mom has gone mad.
Ren Suo swallowed, pulled his sister back and said, "Didn't you say that you already guessed my reason for coming? Didn't you say that you know that I poop and pee when I raise my ass? Why are you still so angry!"
"How could I have guessed that you, the goddamn, would actually want to fuck your own tender cabbage? Get your ass up! I won't bully you either. I beat you ten times when I was a child, and now I will beat you ten times!"
