A man with a height of 1.87 meters, a decent build, dark skin, straight hair, and a fierce face, I am afraid that anyone would think that he has something to do with the underworld.
Lu Xiangming is such a person, so when Ji Chen'ai heard Lu Xiangming's question, he spit out the word "underworld" very naturally.
However, it is obviously not the first time that Lu Xiangming has encountered such a situation. He took a sip of water from his teacup and said, "My father is a policeman, and so am I."
Ji Chen'ai didn't expect Lu Xiangming's occupation to be this, he said: "Oh..."
Lu Xiangming continued: "I am seven years older than Yu Yu, and she is the most beloved youngest child in our family."
Ji Chen'ai was a little confused, he felt that Lu Xiangming had some inexplicable hostility towards him, and the words he said were also very strange.
Lu Xiangming's following words solved Ji Chen's answer, he said: "I don't approve of puppy love."
Ji Chen'ai: "...you are overthinking this time."
Lu Xiangming's heroic eyebrows raised: "I think too much?"
Ji Chen'ai said: "You must think too much, Lu Yuyu and I are classmates, he often helps me in school, so I also occasionally help her make up lessons."
Lu Xiangming smiled, and didn't comment on Ji Chen'e's words, but said: "I hope so."
Ji Chen'ai thought, this Lu Xiangming is indeed a sister-in-law.
Lu Yuyu also came back after going to the toilet. Seeing the subtle atmosphere between Ji Chen'e and Lu Xiangming, she said, "What did you say? Zhou Yaoqin, my brother's words are very irritating, so don't take it to heart. "
Ji Chen'ai shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, just chatted for a while."
Lu Xiangming also hummed.
Lu Yuyu gave Lu Xiangming a suspicious look. She originally wanted to invite Ji Chen'ai to dinner alone, but Lu Xiangming insisted on coming, so she couldn't refuse anyway.
This year is over, and the third year of high school is about to begin. Lu Yuyu asked Ji Chen'ai which school he wanted to be admitted to, and Ji Chen'ai told the goal that he told the head teacher.
Hearing that it was this school, Lu Yuyu didn't seem very surprised, she just sighed: "Zhou Yaoqin, sometimes I really envy you."
It was the first time Ji Chen'e heard someone say that he envied him, so he said, "What do you envy me for?"
Lu Yuyu said: "I envy you for being smart, unlike me, your brain is flooded, your grades are not good, and you are stupid."
Ji Chen'ai laughed when he heard the words, Lu Yuyu's character, it can be seen that she has been well taken care of at home, she is gentle and kind, like a flower in a greenhouse, blooming with beautiful colors.
As long as the conditions are good enough, it is definitely a happy thing to live in a greenhouse for a lifetime. Lu Yuyu has a brother who loves her, and according to Lu Xiangming's reaction, her family should also dote on her. He shielded her from the wind and rain, and when she found her lover, someone would continue to protect her.
Ji Chen'ai said, "I'm even ashamed of you praising me so much."
Before Lu Yuyu could speak, Lu Xiangming said, "I tell you to eat snacks all day long, the more you eat, the more stupid you become."
Lu Yuyu snorted: "I'm too lazy to tell you."
The ordered dishes came out soon, and Ji Chen'ai and the three chatted while eating. Judging from the performance of Lu Yuyu and Lu Xiangming, the relationship between their brother and sister was even better than Ji Chen'ai imagined. He is cold and hard, but when talking to Lu Yuyu, his eyes are always soft.
For some reason, Ji Chen'e remembered his brother Ji Suming, and before he committed suicide with him, Ji Suming looked at him with pity.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen'ai suddenly lost his appetite.
After eating, Lu Xiangming sent Ji Chen'ai back home. When saying goodbye, Lu Yuyu said that he would come to play with Ji Chen'ai again when he had time, and Ji Chen'e agreed.
Originally, Ji Chen'ai wanted to use the time of the vacation to go around, but Wang Zhixiu disagreed with everything, so he had to delay it in the end. Wang Zhixiu didn't expect Ji Chen'e's grades to be good, so she didn't plan to let Ji Chen'e use the time of vacation to make up lessons, but why didn't she worry about Ji Chen'e going on a trip alone? According to her, if she wanted to go out, she would Ask for leave to go with Ji Chen.
So in the end Ji Chen'ai stayed at home obediently. He knew that Wang Zhixiu was afraid that something would happen to her, so he chose to stay at home in the end.
Zhou Leling had six months left before the college entrance examination, and he had less time to meet Ji Chen'ai, but Lu Yuanyuan would come to see Ji Chen'ai when he had something to do, and often brought him snacks.
The incident with Lu Yuanyuan had a great impact on her, but now she has found a new job and rented a house outside. She has no acquaintances, so naturally she doesn't have to listen to gossip. The days are getting better and better. .
Ji Chen'ai was happy to see this situation, so every time Lu Yuanyuan came to see him, he welcomed him very much. Although the two of them didn't talk about anything, it was always good to talk.
Originally, Ji Chen'ai thought that this year would pass so peacefully, but the day before the new year, a person who should not be here suddenly knocked on the door of Zhou's house.
At that time, Wang Zhixiu was cooking, so Ji Chen'ai went to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face—Zhou Yaoyun, who had returned.
Compared with the same year before, Zhou Yaoyun has grown taller again, his cheeks are thinner than when he left, he is still handsome, his temperament is a little less youthful, his brows already have the smell of a mature man, his hair is a bit long, and he is wearing a suit. A windbreaker, with traces of snow melting on the shoulders, Zhou Yaoyun smiled at Ji Chen'ai and said, "Brother, I'm back."
Ji Chen'ai looked at Zhou Yaoyun in front of him, and didn't know how to react for a while.
In the end, it was Wang Zhixiu who welcomed Zhou Yaoyun in.
Ji Chen'ai remained silent when he saw Zhou Yaoyun. After knowing that Zhou Yaoyun had changed his coat and had another cup of hot tea, he said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Zhou Yaoyun laughed again, his smile was still so warm, like the sun, he said: "Because I want to surprise my brother."
During these two months, Ji Chen'ai and Zhou Yaoyun had no communication, and they didn't know how Zhou Yaoyun was doing. Now seeing Zhou Yaoyun's sudden return, he felt joyful and complicated.
Wang Zhixiu has been warmly greeting Zhou Yaoyun, asking him what he would like to eat for lunch and if he is still leaving.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Mom, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
The smile on Wang Zhixiu's face froze for a moment: "Leave so soon?"
Zhou Yaoyun nodded.
Wang Zhixiu didn't say anything, just forced a smile again, and went into the kitchen. When Wang Zhixiu picked up Zhou Yaoyun, Zhou Yaoyun was only a few months old, and she also raised Zhou Yaoyun as her own son. Although the conflicts in the whole family became more prominent because of the car accident, in the end, Wang Zhixiu was still right. Zhou Yaoyun embraced the love of mother and child.
When Ji Chen'ai saw this strange Zhou Yaoyun, he didn't know what to say. Although there were letters between them, most of them talked about irrelevant things.
Ji Chen'ai didn't speak, but Zhou Yaoyun started talking first, he said, "Brother, when will your legs get better?"
Ji Chen'ai looked down at his legs, and said, "It happened last year."
Zhou Yaoyun said: "It's a pity I'm not here." He paused, "Can I use crutches in the future?"
Ji Chen'ai said: "It's recovered well, it should be fine."
Then the two fell silent again. After a while, Zhou Yaoyun suddenly said softly: "Brother, are you angry with me?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen'ai just shook his head slowly, and said, "No."
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Then why don't you speak to me?"
Ji Chen'ai opened his mouth, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "I don't know what to say to you." I don't know where you are, what you're doing, and when you'll come back or leave.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "But didn't you say yes, do you want to wait for me?" When Zhou Yaoyun said this, the smile that filled his eyebrows faded a lot, and he looked at Ji Chen'ai, "Are you blaming me?"
Ji Chen'ai looked distressed, he said: "No, I didn't blame you, I just didn't know what to say to you."
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Well, I understand."
In fact, Ji Chenye also felt that he was a bit awkward, Zhou Yaoyun was so kind to him in the past, he should be happy to come back to see him now, but for some reason, looking at Zhou Yaoyun like this, he always felt a little strange. So much so that I didn't know how to say the words I wanted to say.
Fortunately, it was time for dinner, Wang Zhixiu brought the dishes to the table, and invited the two of them to eat.
Sitting at the dinner table, the stagnant atmosphere finally eased a little bit. Ji Chen'e was eating, and asked Zhou Yaoyun some insignificant things from time to time. Wang Zhixiu also seemed a little cautious in this regard, as if he was afraid of asking what shouldn't be asked. Zhou Yaoyun was in a dilemma.
After eating, Zhou Yaoyun went to wash the dishes. Seeing that there was no fruit at home, Wang Zhixiu wanted to go out and ask Zhou Yaoyun what he wanted to eat. Zhou Yaoyun said that anything is fine.
After Wang Zhixiu went out, only Ji Chen'ai and Zhou Yaoyun were left at home.
I didn't notice it when I was in a wheelchair, but now that Ji Chen'ai stood up, he found that his height was a bit far from Zhou Yaoyun's. He was at most 1.75 meters now, while Zhou Yaoyun had grown a lot, and went straight to 1.9 meters gone.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Brother, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ji Chen'e snorted, and finally asked the question that was suppressed in his heart. He said, "What are you doing? You really don't care... Has Zhou Yaoqin changed?"
These two questions have been entangled in Ji Chen'e's mind, because from his point of view, it is probably not acceptable to find out that the soul of his family has been changed, but Zhou Yaoyun accepted it so smoothly that Ji Chenye felt a sense of disobedience.
Zhou Yaoyun stared at Ji Chen'ai, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, still with his signature bright smile, and said, "Brother, are there only these two questions?"
Ji Chen'e thought for a while, and felt that these two issues were the most important at the moment, so he nodded.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "My brother is really slow." After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and began to unbutton his clothes.
Ji Chen'ai was taken aback by Zhou Yaoyun's actions, and thought that Zhou Yaoyun was going to take off his clothes and beat him up, but seeing that he took off more and more clothes, and saw that there was only one piece of underwear left, he couldn't help but wonder: "You are... "
Zhou Yaoyun smiled and said, "I'll give you the answer." After speaking, he also took off his underwear.
The moment Zhou Yaoyun took off his underwear, Ji Chen'ai gasped, and saw that Zhou Yaoyun's naked upper body was covered with dense scars from healed wounds.
One of them was the most ferocious, running directly from his waist to his heart. This scar was like a giant centipede, extremely conspicuous.
Zhou Yaoyun saw Ji Chen'e stunned, and said softly, "It looks scary, doesn't it?"
Ji Chen'ai said, "Did you do all this during this time?"
Zhou Yaoyun pointed to the scariest wound: "Except for this one, it was all done during the time I left."
Ji Chen'ai said, "Then this wound?"
Speaking of this, the smile on Zhou Yaoyun's face faded, and he said: "This wound was left to me by Zhou Yaoqin."
Ji Chen'e suddenly remembered that in the car accident Wang Zhixiu had mentioned, both Zhou Yaoyun and Zhou Yaoqin were injured during the car work, and Wang Zhixiu finally chose Zhou Yaoyun's life and gave up Zhou Yaoqin's leg.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "It's hard for me to like Zhou Yaoqin."
Ji Chen'ai said: "Why?" It stands to reason that Wang Zhixiu gave up Zhou Yaoqin for Zhou Yaoyun, so Zhou Yaoyun shouldn't have any malice towards this brother no matter what.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Because no one except me and Zhou Yaoqin knew that the car accident was caused by Zhou Yaoqin."
Ji Chen'e was so dizzy by the news, he listened to Zhou Yaoyun and continued: "We were young at that time, and I usually played around with Zhou Yaoqin, but he didn't like my younger brother very much, so he would bully me occasionally .”
Zhou Yaoyun said: "But even so, I am very happy most of the time, until he insists on pulling me across the road."
Zhou Yaoyun's words were like a key, unlocking the part of the memory locked by Xiao Qi, Ji Chen's head was dizzy suddenly, and he saw two children from the memory.
Zhou Yaoqin and Zhou Yaoyun could be vaguely seen on the child's face, obviously when they were young, in Ji Chen'er's memory, he saw the slightly older child dragging the younger child to the middle of the road , it seems that the young children are unwilling to cross the road, but they are dragged across the road abruptly.
However, the accident also happened very suddenly, because there happened to be a large truck next to them, and they were in the blind spot of vision. When a speeding car passed by, the two children just ran out of the blind spot of the big truck and crashed into the sky. , fell to the ground, severe pain replaced the picture, and Ji Chen'ai could no longer see anything clearly.
Seeing that Ji Chen'ai stopped talking, Zhou Yaoyun thought he was still surprised. He looked down at the hideous scar on his waist, and said calmly, "I hated Zhou Yaoqin very much for a while."
Ji Chen'e hummed.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "Because of him, my mother told me that I am not my own." Having said that, Zhou Yaoyun laughed at himself, "I am so jealous of Zhou Yaoqin."
Ji Chen'ai looked at Zhou Yaoyun's indifferent expression, and said in a low voice, "Put on your clothes first, don't be cold."
Zhou Yaoyun raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Chen'ai: "Do you think it's an eyesore?"
Ji Chen'e took a sip: "What an eyesore, I feel sorry for you, okay? Besides, your figure with this scar is pretty cool, if I were a girl, I would have pounced on it."
Zhou Yaoyun raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "It's fine if you're not a girl."
Ji Chenhe heheed twice.
To make the atmosphere less solemn, Zhou Yaoyun continued: "I am very grateful to my mother. Without her, I would have died, so in order not to make her feel more uncomfortable, I did not tell her the cause of the accident." Guilt has already caused Wang Zhixiu a lot of pain. If she knows that her son is the culprit, then she will probably suffer even more than now.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "This incident became a secret between Zhou Yaoqin and me, but afterwards, he seemed to really feel that this secret never happened at all, and I really owe him."
After Zhou Yaoyun paused, he continued: "He said he likes me and wants to be with me... How is that possible? I can take care of him in my life, but I will never be with him."
Ji Chen'e sighed deeply.
Zhou Yaoyun said: "I have said long ago that I am not a good person. When I first realized that he had disappeared, my first reaction was to be happy, and then I felt a little guilty towards my mother."
Ji Chen'ai still decided to tell Zhou Yaoyun, he said: "Zhou Yaoqin committed suicide."
Zhou Yaoyun fell silent when he heard the words, and after a while, he said, "Sorry."
This apology was obviously not meant for Ji Chen'ai, Zhou Yaoyun said again: "I really tried my best, but I can't give you love." He can take care of Zhou Yaoqin for the rest of his life, but he can't give Zhou Yaoqin what he wants.
Regarding Zhou Yaoqin's matter, Zhou Yaoyun gave Ji Chen'e a final answer, and Ji Chen'e was quite satisfied, so he jumped to the next question - what did you do a while ago.
Ji Chen'ai asked Zhou Yaoyun this question many times, but Zhou Yaoyun didn't give a positive answer, but Ji Chen'ai has a golden finger like Xiao Qi, and has turned into a voyeur very happily, so he also knows Zhou Yaoyun in bits and pieces What are you doing.
Zhou Yaoyun had many healed scars, and it could be seen that he did not live a good life. He put on his underwear one by one, and said, "I'm going to train."
Ji Chen'ai said: "For mixing with the underworld?"
Zhou Yaoyun: "Brother, what are you thinking..."
Ji Chen'e smacked his mouth, feeling a little disappointed for some reason... Isn't gangsterism unpopular now
Zhou Yaoyun also inexplicably saw the disappointment in Ji Chen'e's expression, he said helplessly, "Brother, what have you learned during my absence."
Ji Chen'e looked innocent: "It's nothing."
