Big brother, stop it.

"People like this should be hacked into pieces, preferably together with those two bastards from the Gao family."

Li Zhu said a few words and put down his phone. He didn't know if it was because he was used to playing the role. He used to like to play badly and was a calm person, but as soon as he thought of what the three beasts did, anger would surge in his heart.

Gao Cong'ai said indifferently, "He can't escape."

Li Zhu suddenly remembered something very important - did Miss Liang really leave after killing Gao Yanhe and drowning Gao Congyu?

Now that the two instigators were dead, he subconsciously accepted that the matter was over.

But Master Huang, who once suppressed Miss Liang and suggested sacrificing people as substitutes, is still alive. Although he is not the main culprit, his crime is equally unforgivable.

"Will your mother continue to take revenge on him?"

Gao Cong'ai didn't say anything, but his cold eyes told it all.

Li Zhu felt relieved, because evildoers should be punished.

Master Huang saved a lot of money in his early years, and after a few years, he came out to continue enjoying life. This kind of good thing must be left in dreams.

Within two days, Gao Cong'ai brought new news.

Master Huang got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and fell headfirst into the toilet. The other inmates only discovered it when they got up in the morning.

When the man was pulled up, his entire face was soaked.

It looked like it had been submerged in water for more than ten days. When it was carried away, everyone stayed away from it.

Li Zhu sighed, he had been stuck in the toilet for most of the night, so he must have gotten used to it.

Lang Feng had already heard his brother talk about what had happened recently, and he slapped his thigh vigorously, "It's so satisfying! I'm going downstairs to buy some wine. We have to celebrate."

"Drink your balls!" Li Zhu hit him on the back of the head. "I'm tired after a day. I want to go to bed early."

No one can stand delivering food for a long time.

Li Zhu had won the business championship for several consecutive days and felt a little tired. He raised his hands to stretch his tired body, and lowered his eyes to see Gao Cong'ai looking up at him.

Those eyes were staring straight ahead, and from Gao Cong'ai's angle, he could just see the young man's waist under his clothes.

His abdominal muscles were clearly defined and appeared whiter than the skin on his face and backs of his hands.

Gao Cong'ai still remembers the unexpected touch that morning.

Li Zhushun lowered his head and glanced. No way, are you staring at my waist?

abnormal.

He quickly lowered his arms and pulled at his T-shirt in an attempt to cover up his mistake.

The two brothers met Gao Cong'ai downstairs in their shared house. Gao Cong'ai had sent them a text message before they came, but Li Zhu didn't see it because his phone was out of battery.

The street light dyed the man's hair orange. After seeing him, Gao Cong'ai's dim eyes suddenly brightened.

At that moment, Li Zhu couldn't describe what he felt.

In reality, his father died early and his mother was busy with work. Later, she remarried and gave birth to a younger brother. She gave some of the little attention she already received to the second child.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Zhu attended boarding schools.

When he occasionally went home for dinner, he always felt that those three were his family.

He once tried to talk to his mother to ease the increasingly distant family relationship.

But his mother didn't take it seriously, saying that he was thinking too much, that he was too thoughtful, and that he was stuck in a rut.

He also said that he had poor academic performance and had become jealous of his younger brother.

Later, when Li Zhu started working, the relationship between mother and son became more distant. Because his abilities were not outstanding enough, his mother thought he was a loser, and their relationship reached a freezing point.

This was the first time Li Zhu knew that there was someone willing to wait for him.

Knowing that they had not eaten, Gao Cong'ai specially brought food from the hotel and invited the other two roommates.

When Shen Pingfang poured the food into the plate, it was already cold. She didn't know how long this person had been waiting outside.

Thinking of this, Li Zhu quietly retracted the curse "pervert" in his heart.

No matter what others think of him, Gao Cong'ai is a good man who lacks love and is a little paranoid in his eyes.

Zhuang Hengchuan keenly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and his gaze jumped back and forth between Li Zhu and Gao Cong'ai.

Suddenly I understood.

He cleared his throat and grabbed Lang Feng and walked towards the door: "Drinking is bad for your health. Let's buy some drinks."

"No, you can go buy drinks by yourself, why drag me along?"

Lang Feng's voice of resistance quickly disappeared outside the security door.

Shen Pingfang, who had heated up the food, walked out with the plate in her hand and was a little confused to find that the living room, which had been bustling just a moment ago, had suddenly become quiet.

"It's time for dinner. Where are they?"

"I went to buy some drinks." Li Zhu sat down again, and as soon as Chen Pingfang left, he leaned towards Gao Cong'ai, "Can you please stop staring at me?"

"I like it." Gao Cong'ai's voice was steady. If Li Zhu didn't know this man's temper, he would have thought he was provoking him.

"What's so good about a grown man like me?" Li Zhu said in a rough voice, feeling a little panicked.

"I don't know." Gao Cong'ai thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because you are my only friend."

"Yes, yes, that must be the case." Li Zhu agreed repeatedly.

A slight sense of loss welled up in his heart. If Gao Cong'ai had enough friends, he would have focused on others instead of just staring at him.

He wouldn't send me messages every night, nor would he wait for him downstairs with delicious food like he did tonight.

——

Zhuang Hengchuan came out of the convenience store carrying a large bottle of Coke.

Lang Feng muttered from behind: "You're only buying one bottle, and you drag me along."

"You really don't know, or are you pretending not to know?" Zhuang Hengchuan turned around and looked at him, "Didn't you notice?"

"What did you notice?" Lang Feng was stunned.

"There's something off about Xu Xiaozhe and his friend," Zhuang Hengchuan said. "What's the word for it? Oh, atmosphere. They just don't have the right atmosphere."

"Something's wrong."

"When anyone looks at Xu Xiaozhe, their eyes are almost glued to his face."

After this was mentioned, Lang Feng also noticed it.

Ever since his brother came back from Gao's house, Gao Cong'ai came here from time to time. Every time he asked to stay overnight, he was sent home by his brother.

And every time he turned his head, he would see Gao Cong'ai staring at his brother.

He had to watch his brother when he spoke and when he drank water. Just now, before he went out, he even had to watch him when he stood up and stretched.

"Damn!" Lang Feng stopped in shock. "They're going to be together?!"

He thought his brother had become a better person, but he actually changed his partner!

Seeing his grim expression, Zhuang Hengchuan frowned: "I've noticed before. Are you very opposed to Xu Xiaozhe liking men?"

"What's the point of liking a man? You can't get married or have children. My brother wants to start a family and build a career in the future. If he likes a man, he won't be able to have a normal life."

"What is normal?" Zhuang Hengchuan lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then took one out of the cigarette box and handed it to Lang Feng.

Lang Feng held it in his mouth but didn't order anything yet. "Just like everyone else."

"What are the others like?"

"Date, get married, have children, and grow old together."

"Dating can lead to breakups, marriages can lead to divorces, children born into a relationship may not necessarily be filial to their parents, and living together until old age is even less certain. Who can control time, life, and death?" Zhuang Hengchuan said. "In my opinion, following your heart is right. Of course, it must be based on legality and not violate moral principles."

Lang Feng was disgusted, "Why do you speak so elegantly?"

"Well, I read it in a book, too." Knowing the other person wasn't the petty type, Zhuang Hengchuan spoke frankly. "He had a crush on me before, and I was really annoyed. I thought he was perverted and abnormal, so I asked about it online and even called homosexuals sick. But I ended up getting a lecture. Oh, and they also criticized Xu Xiaozhe for his extreme behavior, even more so than me."

"Some people said I shouldn't be prejudiced against the gay community. After all, they didn't spend my money or eat my rice. I shouldn't discriminate against people based on their personal choices. But I later looked it up and found it's not a disease... I was just too narrow-minded before."

"..." Lang Feng never expected that he had such a high level of awareness, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

For a long time, he was the most anti-gay person, except for the person harassed by his brother.

Now that his teammates are on the opposite side, will he still persist alone?

And what Zhuang Hengchuan said was right. As long as he didn't hurt others, it didn't matter whether his brother was gay or not. It wouldn't affect their brotherhood.

If he persists in his own opinion and continues to oppose, cracks will inevitably appear in the strong brotherhood.

"I understand." Lang Feng said in a low voice, with his brows drooping, obviously not fully accepting it.

Zhuang Hengchuan patted him on the shoulder, understanding that it was difficult to make a complete change all at once.

When the two returned home, a variety show was playing in the living room and the food was on the table.

Looking at the table full of food, Lang Feng became more accepting of his brother's boyfriend.

I knew Gao Cong'ai brought a lot of dishes, but I didn't expect so many.

After being re-cooked, the appearance is naturally not as good as the original one in the hotel, but the ingredients can be seen.

Lang Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva. In fact, his brother was also doing well with Mr. Xiao Gao. They didn't have to worry about food and clothing, which was good.

The point is, he can get some benefit from it.

Li Zhu didn't know that he was being sold out because of a meal. He handed the chopsticks to Gao Cong'ai and poured him a glass of Coke.

Gao Cong'ai ate very quietly, slowly and without making any noise.

His appetite was still poor, and he only ate one-third of what Li Zhu did.

He looked him up and down, "How did you get so tall?"

Gao Cong'ai: "Extraordinary talent."

Li Zhu: “…”

With the death of Master Huang, the Gao family's affairs were completely over, and Li Zhu cherished this meal very much.

Because you never know when he will leave.

Lang Feng is independent and strong and can take good care of himself. Gao Cong'ai is used to being alone, and the world always looks at him with prejudice. If something happens to him one day, no one will know, and no one will care.

Li Zhu was worried.

He hoped that Gao Cong'ai and Lang Feng could establish friendship and support each other after he left. After hesitating for a moment, he decided for the first time to let Gao Cong'ai stay overnight.

Gao Cong'ai couldn't get what he wanted.

Just after ten o'clock after dinner, he went into the bathroom holding the old clothes that Li Zhu had found.

Lang Feng looked at his brother with an indescribable expression, "You..."

[Liar, what about the friendship we promised? How can it still be pure after staying overnight?! ]

Li Zhu stared at the line of words. It was just a simple text barrage and had no value.

"Brother Tong, what's going on?" He couldn't understand how staying overnight was related to purity?

365: "It's just a simple complaint, it doesn't involve any feelings towards the host."

Li Zhu accepted it well, as long as he didn't lose points.

The Gao family is gone, but the cheats are still there. It is not a pleasant thing to know every like and dislike of the other party at all times.

"When will the cheat stop working? When I leave?"

"Yes, host."

"Then when should I leave?" Li Zhu was reluctant to leave this world. He was not just a tool here.

"It depends on the arrangements from above." 365 monitored the host's emotions and knew his inner thoughts. "You can enjoy the present. We can deal with the future later."

Li Zhu: "Okay."

This mission seemed strange from the very beginning. In the past, they would just leave after completing the mission.

Li Zhu felt uneasy, "Could something have happened at the bureau?!"

365: "There's no benefit in scaring yourself."

"Oh." Li Zhu tried to calm down.

Gao Cong'ai came out of the shower, his wet hair dripping with water, his feet in slippers making a clacking sound as he walked.

It was a bit out of place, and Li Zhu burst out laughing.

Was it this funny when Gao Cong'ai came to stay with him? Li Zhu couldn't remember, probably because their relationship wasn't as close as it is now, and he didn't pay enough attention to her.

He took out a new pillow from his arms and asked Gao Cong'ai, "Which side do you sleep on?"

Lang Feng, who was sitting on the edge of his bed and browsing his phone, rolled his eyes.

Li Zhu caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, turned his head and looked, and saw that his good brother was posting comments again.

[Don’t you know who he’s after? Even with my toes I can tell he’s sleeping with you, okay?]

[Asking despite knowing the answer, fake, too fake, fake to death]

Li Zhu's fist hardened, and he said in a calm voice, "It's your turn to wash."

Lang Feng scratched his ears.

[Angry out of shame, tsk tsk tsk]

Li Zhu looked at his weird face and wanted to kick him, thinking he deserved a beating.

Gao Cong'ai watched the two of them interacting with each other, and he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

Li Zhu's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable. Glancing at Gao Cong'ai's expression, he sneered, "Why, you want to be scolded too?"

"Yeah, I do."

Li Zhu suddenly stopped talking, feeling embarrassed.

Gao Cong'ai took the pillow from his arms and placed it next to Li Zhu's pillow, "I'll sleep with you."

"Oh." Li Zhu pursed her lips and met the man's gaze. The inexplicable embarrassment became even more severe.

"I'm going out to drink some water." Then he ran away in a hurry.

The door was opened and then closed again.

Gao Cong'ai looked at the two pillows placed side by side, raised his hand and touched Li Zhu's.

It has a shampoo scent to it.

He leaned over and sniffed it, then let out a long sigh.

The Gao family was involved in a scandal, and the villa also became ominous. Gao Cong'ai sold it at a low price and moved to a larger flat.

Every night, he has to hold his cell phone before he can fall asleep.

The tracking software Gao Congyu had installed on the young man's phone was also transplanted to his own phone. Sometimes when the young man didn't reply to his messages or fell asleep, Gao Cong'ai would open the software and stare at the small red dot.

At five o'clock this afternoon, he sent a message and didn't receive a reply within ten minutes, so he immediately turned on the tracking software.

After knowing the young man's location, his irritable mood was mostly calmed down.

He used to have a strong possessiveness towards his friends, and this time it was the same, yet different.

Perhaps it was because Xu Xiaozhe was more special than them and they were more willing to tolerate him.

With Xu Xiaozhe, he doesn't need to hide his greed for monopoly because the other party knows everything.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Gao Cong'ai withdrew his hand from stroking the pillow, pulled back the quilt and half lay down.
