In the dream, Shi Jin really went to school. His classmates were frightened by his appearance, screaming and calling him a monster, and yelling for him to go home. Shi Jin sat in a corner with his head down, raising his hands to cover his face, trying to hide himself.
Shi Wei Chong outside the dream was in agony - how could he, in the dream, throw such a Shi Jin into the outside world.
The brothers outside the dream were in great pain, but Shi Jin in the dream was slowly becoming numb. In fact, except for being pointed at, ridiculed and avoided because of his appearance, his life was barely back on track. He still lived in that magnificent and empty house, and there were still many servants taking care of him. He had no worries about food and clothing, and he was picked up and dropped off by car when he went to school. He was finally no longer surrounded by the cold ward and the cold basement in his nightmares. He was already very satisfied.
However, even though he had accepted his fate, the harm was still coming.
Rumors about the Shi family suddenly spread in the outside world. Shi Weichong, as the current president of Ruixing, suddenly became the child of Shi Xingrui's ex-wife and the legitimate heir of Ruixing. Shi Jin became a shameful illegitimate child and an ugly freak. Everyone praised Shi Wei Chong's excellence, criticized Shi Jin's unpresentable appearance, and even maliciously speculated that the obese Shi Jin might not be Shi Xing Rui's child. Later, someone took a photo of Shi Jin and posted it online, so the whole world knew that Shi Jin was now a fat man with a disfigured face and a disabled finger.
The rumor soon spread to Shi Jin's school, and Shi Jin's barely peaceful life was completely ruined.
Malice surrounded him from all sides. Shi Jin was questioned by gossipy classmates, targeted by powerful teachers, and bullied and squeezed by small groups that hated the existence of illegitimate children the most... The campus bullying became more and more serious, and Shi Jin seemed to have been stripped naked and thrown on the street, and even the last bit of self-esteem was trampled on.
He tried to resist, but two fists could not defeat four hands. He wanted to seek help, but the teacher chose to watch coldly. The fire in his dry eyes rekindled, which was his distorted emotions that were about to collapse.
With the last glimmer of hope, he called Shi Weichong, but the call was hung up as expected. He didn't give up and wanted to go to Ruixing to block Shi Weichong, but he was discovered and driven away by the security guards just when he arrived at the entrance of Ruixing headquarters; he mustered up the courage to contact Rong Zhouzhong again, but in the end he only received a barrage of ridicule and insults; he frantically called and sent messages to Xiang Aoting and Fei Yujing, who he could never contact, trying desperately to find someone or something in the world who still had good intentions towards him... He didn't dare to think of Li Jiuzheng at all, and the sharp blade of the surgical knife became his biggest fear now.
However, everything was in vain. Shi Jin stretched out his hands for help to his brothers for the last time, but in the end he only held a ball of air.
Shi Weichong and others outside the dream looked at Shi Jin's desperate look, and struggled again to wake up from this dream - enough! Xiaojin was obviously fine, these were all fake! Fake!
Stop torturing him, that's enough.
Unfortunately, just like Shi Jin in the dream, their struggles were in vain. Shi Jin
in the dream began to skip classes. He no longer tried to contact Shi Weichong and Rong Zhouzhong. Instead, he wandered outside for a long time and always unconsciously called Fei Yujing and Xiang Aoting... Then one day, Shi Jin actually ran into Fei Yujing while wandering.
Shi Weichong and others outside the dream had hope in their eyes - hurry up! Go save him! Go hug him!
Shi Jin in the dream also had hope in his eyes. He ran over and called out to his second brother. In the dream, Fei Yujing finally saw Shi Jin. He asked the people around him to stop Shi Jin and said something that made Shi Jin in the dream and the brothers outside the dream tremble: "I don't know him, chase him away."
Fei Yujing left, and Shi Jin was thrown on the street. People around him pointed at him and talked about him.
The hearts of the brothers outside the dream sank, especially Fei Yujing. He clenched his hands and hated himself for the first time. They watched the hope in Shi Jin's eyes shattered, the softness disappeared, and then his eyes darkened and twisted little by little. Finally
, Shi Jin pushed away the people who blocked him, and roared at the people who pointed at him, like a real madman.
It's over.
Looking at Shi Jin like this, their eyes welled up - everything was over, the Xiao Jin they were familiar with, completely disappeared. They deceived themselves by reminding themselves that this was a dream, it was fake, all fake.
Just when they thought the situation couldn't get any worse and the dream should end anyway, Xu Tianhua appeared in front of Shi Jin. They realized that something was wrong, and when Xu Tianhua asked to talk to Shi Jin, they frantically said no in Shi Jin's mind.
No, don't get close to him, he will hurt you.
However, Shi Jin in the dream couldn't hear him. He hadn't been treated kindly for too long. Facing the smiling Xu Tianhua, he followed the other party almost without hesitation.
It was not difficult for Xu Tianhua to coax a child abandoned by the whole world. He paid attention to Shi Jin's recent situation, went to Shi Jin's school and talked to Shi Jin's teacher in person, and deliberately mentioned Shi Jin in an interview to help Shi Jin clarify the rumors of illegitimate children.
Shi Jin's life became better. He was grateful to Xu Tianhua, but also wary of Xu Tianhua. His past experience made him dare not trust others easily. Then, Xu Tianhua asked him a very tempting question: "Shi Jin, do you want to stand in front of Shi Weichong again?
In front of those brothers who ignored him?
Shi Jin's eyes were burning with fire, and he nodded with a twisted thought.
The brothers outside the dream were angry at Xu Tianhua's cunning and heartbroken at Shi Jin's agreement. They who stayed in Shi Jin's mind understood very well that the reason why Shi Jin nodded to Xu Tianhua was just because he wanted to have an opportunity to have an equal dialogue with his brothers. He didn't care whether Xu Tianhua wanted to harm him, he only cared whether he could change the status quo.
After the heartache, they strangely felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts, and couldn't help but cheer for Shi Jin, who had a gloomy look in his eyes at this time - go, take revenge on those who hurt you, drag them into hell, and then... live well.
They felt that everything in the dream might still be saved, Xiao Jin wouldn't have to be miserable forever, and Xu Tianhua was pretty capable, maybe he could really change something for Shi Jin in the dream.
They tried to calm themselves down, comforted themselves, and prepared to see Shi Jin's revenge.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Xu Tianhua did use Shi Weichong's identity as an illegitimate child to do something, and pointed out the more suspicious issues of the original will change. Shi Jin listened to Xu Tianhua's daily progress report, secretly looking forward to the day when he would see Shi Weichong again.
The brothers outside the dream also looked forward to it unconsciously - if this time succeeds, Shi Jin should be able to cheer up again.
Finally, time came to the day when Xu Tianhua took Shi Jin to confront Shi Weichong face to face. Shi Jin got up early, changed into his most handsome clothes, and even looked in the mirror for the first time. However, after looking in the mirror, the corners of his mouth unconsciously fell. He silently changed back into his ordinary school uniform, and got on the car to the Ruixing headquarters with an expressionless face.
The brothers outside the dream looked at the suit thrown on the bed by Shi Jin, with mixed feelings in their hearts. But they soon comforted themselves again, it doesn't matter, everything can be changed. Life can be changed, scars can be removed, as long as this counterattack is successful, Shi Jin will surely usher in a new beginning——
Bang!
The scene of the car collision was infinitely magnified in their eyes. The back seat where Shi Jin was sitting was hit by a small truck and half dented. The surrounding vehicles stopped one after another, and passers-by shouted that there was a car accident!
The brothers outside the dream looked at Shi Jin lying unconsciously in the back seat of the car, and their thoughts were briefly broken.
What...what? What happened? Why is this happening? Isn't everything going to be fine soon? Why is it like this? Xiao Jin...what will happen to Xiao Jin? What will happen to Xiao Jin in the dream?
They looked at the large amount of blood oozing from Shi Jin's body, and a huge buzzing sound rang in their heads.
Will he die? Xiao Jin...will he die?
He will die...No! Someone come to save him! It was
the first time they were so scared, as if even their souls were trembling.
Who! Anyone! Come and save him! Save their brother!
The police car came, the ambulance came, and all the brothers in the dream except Xiang Aoting came. The brothers outside the dream looked at themselves in the dream, and except Xiang Aoting, all of them wanted to kill themselves in the dream.
Why are you so late! Why did you show up now!
However, Shi Weichong and others in the dream could not hear the accusations of their other selves at all, and were still doing some heart-wrenching things.
Miraculously, Shi Jin survived the car accident, and then the brothers who had just gathered together all dispersed, as if they were afraid of being entangled by the plague. Li Jiuzheng and Shi Weichong stayed a little longer, and Li Jiuzheng said, "I want to take him away."
Shi Weichong glanced at him sideways, turned around and said coldly, "It's up to you."
Shi Weichong also left, and Li Jiuzheng stood there for a while, then left too. So when Shi Jin woke up from the car accident, he was faced with only a cold ward.
The brothers outside the dream were extremely angry, and they madly blamed themselves in the dream - how could you be so ruthless! Why didn't you care about Shi Jin who was still lying on the bed at this time! Is your blood cold!
Then they suddenly reacted - yes, their blood was indeed cold, and it was Shi Jin who warmed them up little by little and brought them into the normal world.
As if all their strength had been drained away in an instant, they didn't know who to pray to, and they just thought blankly - don't die, as long as you don't die, there is still hope.
The dream was really too long.
...
As soon as Shi Jin's physical condition got a little better, Li Jiuzheng took him away. He moved back to the cold ward. The difference from the last time was that this time he became a dying puppet who couldn't eat or speak normally. After the last struggle failed, he no longer had the desire to live.
"Do you want to die?" Li Jiuzheng stood beside Shi Jin's bed and helped him adjust the equipment. "Give up, you will live a long time, with this half-human appearance." Shi Jin
on the bed did not respond at all. He lay face up, his eyes were open, but he was full of death, like a corpse.
The brothers outside the dream were also filled with despair and silence - they all understood that Shi Jin could not live much longer. They no longer expect anything else, they just hope that Shi Jin in the dream can walk easier.
It's a pity that their last extravagant wish has really turned into a luxury.
Li Jiuzheng was obviously not a doctor who cared about the mental health of his patients. He always looked at Shi Jin with a penetrating look, said some terrible words in his ears, and even tried to pull out Shi Jin's life tube several times.
The brothers outside the dream were horrified, angry and powerless. Li Jiuzheng outside the dream had completely lost consciousness, and his heart was cold.
Not only Li Jiuzheng, but also Rong Zhouzhong. No one knew what medicine Rong Zhouzhong had taken wrongly. He suddenly started to come to the hospital frequently, sitting by Shi Jin's bed and talking to himself.
"Shi Jin, I hate you, everyone hates you. Actually, you are not a child of the Shi family, right? Look at you, you are so fat and ugly, you fat guy."
Shi Jin stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if he had not heard anything.
"You actually want to unite with Xu Tianhua and go against my brother, are you stupid? Ah, no, I shouldn't ask that, you are stupid, you know nothing idiot." Rong Zhouzhong continued to speak, and seeing that Shi Jin had always ignored him, he suddenly approached with malice and asked, "Do you want to know the truth? I can tell you everything."
Shi Jin's eyes finally brightened up, and he turned his eyes and looked over.
Seeing him looking over, Rong Zhouzhong was satisfied and really started to talk about the past he had acted in, the real thoughts that he disliked him, the fact that they wished Shi Xingrui would die sooner, and that they had long been planning to take Ruixing away... Shi Jin
listened, and his numb expression changed - he cried, his lips trembled, his eyes widened, and some tiny gasps came out of his throat.
Rong Zhouzhong in the dream stopped talking, and Rong Zhouzhong outside the dream wanted to rush in and kill him - enough! You scum, stop talking!
"You're crying now? You're really hateful and pitiful." Rong Zhouzhong in the dream certainly didn't hear his scolding, frowned and said this, then got up and left. Shi
Jin was still crying, and the more he cried, the quieter he became.
Li Jiuzheng pushed the door open and came in, stopped by the bed, admired him crying for a while, stretched out his finger to touch his tears, and put them into his mouth.
"Salty." He said expressionlessly, "You can still cry, you're amazing." Shi Jin 's
tears gradually stopped, and his eyes were empty.
He was killed again, silently and without any expression. The brothers outside the dream watched all this, and they no longer had the strength to fight. They just numbly hoped that this dream would end soon - wake up from the dream soon, they can't wait to hug the warm and healthy brother in reality. This time, they will never let go.
Tortured day after day, for more than a year, Shi Jin could only lie like this, struggling back and forth on the edge of life and death. In his life, there was only the ghost-like Li Jiuzheng and Rong Zhouzhong who came to say some annoying words from time to time. His eyes went from blank to dead, and finally became distorted.
Why hasn't he died yet? Why can't he be freed? So hateful, so hateful.
Then one day, Shi Jin miraculously became peaceful, and the distortion in his eyes dissipated and was replaced by numbness.
The brothers outside the dream realized something and their hearts tightened - is it coming? No, no...
It was a very ordinary day. Li Jiuzheng came to change Shi Jin's dressing again, and as usual, he whispered some messy words in his ear and took out his dangerous scalpel to play with. This time, Shi Jin actually responded. He said, "Fifth brother, good night. See you in hell." After that, he closed his eyes.
Li Jiuzheng in the dream looked at Shi Jin without realizing anything, and left after a while. After he left, Shi Jin opened his eyes, and a strong desire to survive suddenly burst out in his eyes. He struggled to move his body to leave the ward, and then suddenly, he froze, fell back on the bed with his eyes wide open.
Beep -
the monitoring equipment sounded the alarm.
Darkness suddenly fell. The brothers outside the dream also widened their eyes unconsciously, and all they saw and heard was Shi Jin's wide-eyed fall and the sad sound of the equipment. They gasped violently in the black dream, as if they had died again.
No, Xiao Jin is not dead, he is not dead.
Perhaps their thoughts were too strong, and the dream suddenly reappeared. Everything they had just seen began to reverse madly. Finally, time stopped on the second day after Shi Xingrui's funeral. Shi Jin, who was still intact and healthy, woke up from the dream. After a short period of silence, he suddenly seemed to be crazy, talking to himself non-stop, and made a series of strange actions that people could not understand.
Then, Xu Chuan came, and Shi Jin suddenly became serious again. He went downstairs to listen to Xu Chuan's announcement of his will.
The brothers outside the dream were confused and did not understand what this dream was about - were they going to do those painful things again? Enough, stop torturing Shi Jin, why is the night so long.
In the dream, after Xu Chuan finished reading the will, Shi Jin spoke and said, "I don't want these things."
The brothers outside the dream were stunned, and then suddenly looked at Shi Jin.
In the dream, Shi Jin's expression was tense, as if he was suppressing something, and he said firmly: "I don't want anything that my brothers don't have."
Fate finally went in different directions. They looked at Shi Jin in the picture, and remembered Shi Jin's series of reactions after waking up. They vaguely realized something, and their heartbeats slowly accelerated - no, impossible, it must be impossible...
Shi Jin, who refused to inherit, returned to the room. He once again showed a weird look of talking to himself in the room, and then after the servant came up and knocked on the door, reminding Shi Weichong that there was a call, his expression suddenly changed, picked up the pillow on the bed, walked around the room in a mess, rushed into the bathroom, and cut his wrists cleanly.
No!
They watched the blood oozing out, frantically trying to stop the start of another tragedy, and then their bodies suddenly shook and they regained consciousness. In front of them was an unfamiliar ceiling, and around them was the warm sunlight pouring in from the window.
They were dazed for a moment until they heard a vague roar.
"How can you be such a guest? You don't get up even when the sun is shining on your butts. Your breakfast is cold! How long are you going to sleep? Get up quickly, it's time for lunch! I'm counting down, and if you don't get up after the countdown, I'll come straight in and lift the quilt. Ten, nine, eight..."
They finally came back to reality from their dreams, almost rolled out of bed, and rushed out the door at the fastest speed in their lives.
Swish, swish, swish.
The five doors opened almost at the same time. Shi Jin, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, was startled. He looked at the five brothers who almost rushed out at the same time. He glanced at their surprisingly similar pajamas and bare feet, took a step back awkwardly, and said, "You are still sleeping... Well, you guys go back to sleep, go back to sleep, we are all brothers, don't take your morning grumpiness out on me..."
We are all brothers.
They looked at the lively and healthy Shi Jin in front of them, their eyes reddened a little, and they wanted to go forward, but bumped into each other again.
"Well, you guys go wash up first, I'll go down first." Shi Jin saw that their expressions were not right, and turned around and ran away without saying a word, disappearing at the entrance of the corridor in a blink of an eye.
So they stopped again tacitly, looked at each other, and discovered something from each other's eyes.
