"Mo Jingchun, do you know what you look like now?"
"Are you like a turtle hiding in your shell? Do you think that hiding will make things go away?"
Xu Fan frowned, snatched the wine glass from Mo Jingchun's hand, and scolded him.
"I don't know what happened to you, but I know that running away will never solve the problem. It will only make things increasingly irreversible. It wasn't until I finally had to face it that I realized things had reached their worst point."
Mo Jingchun fell silent. He lowered his head with his bangs covering his eyes. He placed his hands on his thighs and looked at the floor of the bar with a shaky gaze.
He thought of Jiang Li, and remembered every time she lowered her head to cover her face in high school. At this moment, he actually made the same move.
At that time, Mo Jingchun didn't understand why Jiang Li was always like that?
I don't understand why she lowered her head and covered her face with her black hair. Now thinking back, maybe she subconsciously wanted to protect herself because of her past experiences.
It was a kind of self-protective escape, just like Mo Jingchun now. He didn't want to face it, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to choose to escape.
Looking back now, his relationship with Jiang Li seemed to have been going smoothly all along.
Whether it was the senior year of high school when they first met, or the three years that followed as lovers, they had only a long-lasting tenderness and never had any quarrels.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Jiang Li's gentleness.
She was like a tree hole. No matter what kind of bad mood Mo Jingchun had, Jiang Li could always receive it with the most gentle attitude. In the end, she gently hugged herself, just like her mother in the past.
The aloofness and coldness from the past seemed to have disappeared from Jiang Li, leaving only gentleness.
Mo Jingchun's tears suddenly flowed down, and he felt a little regretful, regretting what he had said at the beginning.
Jiang Li was very sensitive, and he knew it very well, but...
"But I really don't know how to face her...Xu Fan, I really, really..."
Mo Jingchun raised his head again, leaning his hands on the bar, his handsome face full of confusion.
Should he care about the four years Jiang Li had concealed? Or, could he accept what she had done...
However, before Mo Jingchun could think clearly, someone grabbed his collar. Then a burning pain spread from the corner of his mouth. He fell backwards uncontrollably, knocking over several high chairs.
"Sir, you..."
Seeing this, the waiter was about to stop him, but Xu Fan, with an angry face, had already come to Mo Jingchun's side.
"You little brat, I've told you so much, but you didn't listen. I'll have to give you a beating to wake you up."
Mo Jingchun and Xu Fan have a very good relationship. They grew up together and except for some fights when they were young, they have basically never had any physical conflicts since they grew up.
But Xu Fan remembered that Mo Jingchun once told him that if he ever behaved like a coward, he must be beaten to wake him up.
"Xu Fan, I hate cowards the most. If one day I become such a person, please make sure to beat me into a pig's head."
Mo Jingchun, who had just entered junior high school, waved his fists like a young man and spoke with a smile.
"Hehe, that's what you said, don't regret it when the time comes," Xu Fan nodded happily. Why does it make him laugh so much when he hears his good brother being beaten up?
"I definitely won't regret it."
"That's a deal."
"Yeah, it's settled."
…………
Before Mo Jingchun could react, Xu Fan's next punch was already in front of him.
Mo Jingchun grabbed the bar counter tightly with his right hand to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
Xu Fan's two punches hit Mo Jingchun's face so hard and hard that the corners of his mouth were broken. These two punches also made his head, which was a little dizzy due to alcohol, instantly clear up.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, or perhaps it was the suppressed emotions, Mo Jingchun stood up and punched Xu Fan back.
"Ahem."
Xu Fan took two steps back and bumped into the sofa cushion beside him. There were not many people in the bar at the moment and no one paid much attention to the fight between the two.
The waiter standing by saw the two men fighting so fiercely that he didn't dare to step forward to stop them. He could only stand there and wonder if something was broken.
Xu Fan touched the corner of his mouth and felt a burning pain. He looked down and found that it was bleeding. This kid hit him even harder than him.
Jingchun, you know what? You little brat, sometimes you really deserve a beating, just like you are right now. I can finally give you a beating with good reason.
Xu Fan smiled and took a step forward.
…………
"Sister Jiang Li, what's wrong with you two? Don't keep silent." Mo Ling felt anxious when he saw Jiang Li, who had been silent beside him.
Jiang Li's expression was obviously calm, but tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes as if she couldn't control it, adding a bit of sadness.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, just cried quietly. Just like when she was driven away, she could do nothing but passively leave her hometown and come to this strange city.
It's so hard to live as an outlier.
Not only do they have to carefully keep their secrets, fearing that one day their ugliest side will be revealed to the public, but they also have to restrain their inner desire for warmth.
Jiang Li clearly did nothing wrong, but perhaps, she herself was the biggest mistake.
“Sister Jiang Li, I know someone as gentle as you, it must be my brother who made a mistake.”
