Shi Jin discovered...his brothers were crazy.
After he sent Liu Yong and Luo Donghao back, he actually saw his brothers fighting in the backyard. And it wasn't the kind of sparring type of fight that would stop at a certain point, but a group fight without any image.
He felt that either he was crazy or the world was crazy. He rushed over to stop them, but was blocked by his brothers in unison: "Don't come over!" Shi
Jin: "..."
Okay.
He was a little unhappy, and glanced at his brothers who were fighting again after talking, sneered, turned around and walked to Lian Jun who was watching coldly at the back door, took out his mobile phone from him, turned on the camera and aimed it at the backyard. You
want to exercise so early in the morning, right? Then fight to your heart's content, celebrities from all walks of life!
He thought angrily, poking the phone with great force.
Lian Jun looked at him sideways, turned back to the kitchen, took out a baked sweet potato, stuffed it into his hand, then took the phone from his hand and held it up himself, saying, "Eat and watch." Shi Jin
was stunned, looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and then looked at Lian Jun who was seriously holding his phone to take pictures beside him, and felt better, so he went over and kissed Lian Jun.
The scene in the backyard became extremely strange. Under the warm winter sunshine, the five brothers of the Shi family were surrounded by barbecue tools that had not been put away in time, and they were fighting passionately. At the back door, Shi Jin leaned against the door frame and ate sweet potatoes while watching the show. Lian Jun stood beside him and was responsible for taking pictures, enjoying Shi Jin's feeding from time to time.
"Yes! Right hook! Come on, fourth brother! Fourth brother is so awesome! Hit! Hit him in the face!" Shi Jin shouted while eating, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
However, Xiang Aoting on the field seemed to be excited when he heard the cheers. His expression instantly became more ruthless, and he really punched all his brothers in the face.
"Ugh!" Rong Zhouzhong covered his nose and was the first to leave the battlefield.
Li Jiuzheng accidentally tripped over the grill at the side of the yard when he retreated, and fell backwards. He was the second to leave the battlefield.
Bang!
Fei Yujing was thrown to the ground by Xiang Aoting with an over-the-shoulder throw. He lay paralyzed on the ground with a red and swollen mouth and a bruised forehead. He was the third to leave the battlefield.
In the end, only Shi Weichong and Xiang Aoting were left on the field.
Xiang Aoting looked at Shi Weichong and recalled the scene in his dream last night when he entrusted the rescued Xiaojin to him, but he didn't care at all. He also recalled the questions Shi Jin asked him during the military training. His chest rose and fell twice. He couldn't help but grab Shi Weichong's collar and punched him hard.
What kind of brother are you?
Shi Weichong didn't dodge and took the blow.
Blood oozed from the corner of Shi Weichong's mouth. Shi Jin's hand holding the sweet potato tightened instantly, his face darkened, and he shouted, "Enough!"
All the brothers turned to look at him, their expressions tense and suppressed, their eyes dark and deep.
Shi Jin felt upset when he saw them looking at him, and then he became furious and shouted, "What are you doing? You look like you are half dead. Did I mistreat you yesterday or do something to you? You guys are fighting in my new home and even bleeding. Do you want to piss me off to death? I--" The
five brothers who had been obediently accepting the scolding suddenly perked up when they heard him mention the word "death". Their eyes became terrifying and they said in unison, "Don't mention that word!" Shi Jin
choked, looked back and forth at them, and became furious. He dragged Lian Jun back to the house and decided not to care about these mentally ill brothers anymore.
After Shi Jin left, the brothers in the yard had no intention of getting up from the ground. Even Xiang Aoting and Shi Weichong, who were standing, sat down one after another. They all looked up at the sunlight above their heads in a daze.
"It's just a dream, Xiao Jin is still alive..." Shi Weichong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and lowered his head to cover his forehead. Rong Zhouzhong
stared at the sun, even if his eyes were red from the sting. He remembered the asshole words he said in his dream last night, and the words that Shi Jin forced him to say when he reconciled with him. His heart hurt as if it was about to explode. He took a deep breath and said, "If Xiao Jin also dreamed about it... then it's not a dream."
Xiang Aoting tightened his palms when he heard this, lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Jiuzheng suddenly got up from the ground and walked along the outer wall of the villa towards the front yard. He lowered his head with his shoulders slumped, his eyes empty, as if his soul had been taken away by something.
"Where are you going?" Shi Wei Chong asked.
Li Jiuzheng looked back at them and said expressionlessly: "Leave here... I don't have the face to stay here and enjoy Xiao Jin's care."
Everyone was silent after hearing this. Fei Yujing suddenly got up, pressed the wound at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I'm leaving too."
Rong Zhouzhong followed him and got up without saying a word.
"Are you going to escape again?" Xiang Aoting asked with suppressed anger, clenching his fists, as if he wanted to beat them again, "Are you waiting for Xiao Jin to pull you out again? What are you doing?"
The three people who were walking forward stopped in unison.
"If you want to leave, say goodbye properly. Don't let Xiao Jin worry." Shi Weichong also spoke, then stood up and walked towards the villa. At least this time, he would never leave Xiao Jin alone again.
Xiang Aoting looked at his back, loosened his clenched fists, stood up and followed.
...
Shi Jin was really angry. He went back to the house and ran to the window to see that his brothers had stopped fighting and were lying in the yard. He couldn't stay in the house any longer and simply dragged Lian Jun out, ready to go out for a big meal with Lian Jun and starve those careless brothers at home to death!
"Why do you think they fought? They are so old, and they are so reckless. Aren't they afraid of breaking their arms and legs?" Shi Jin was still very angry after going out for a while. He couldn't help but grab the mahjong pillow in the car and beat it violently.
Lian Jun turned the steering wheel and said, "When they went to the backyard, their expressions were very ugly."
"Did they quarrel?" Shi Jin turned his head to look at him, his brows tightly wrinkled, "Did you see the cause of their fight?"
Lian Jun shook his head: "No, they just started fighting after they got to the backyard, without saying anything." Shi Jin's
expression twitched, and he became even angrier. He continued to hit the pillow and said hatefully: "Don't worry about them, let them fight to death!" As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and turned it off. He was determined not to care about the group of brothers at home anymore.
...
Shi Jin took Lian Jun out for a day. They had roast duck for lunch and took a detour to a farm in the suburbs in the afternoon. They caught some local chickens and rabbits, bought a basket of local eggs and some homemade sausages. They had home-cooked dinner at the farm. On the way home, they took a detour to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for making dumplings.
It was already dark when they returned to the community. Shi Jin finally felt guilty and frowned, muttering, "Isn't it a bad idea to leave them at home like this? After all, they are invited guests..."
"Maybe they have already left. If you feel bad, we can invite them to get together next time." Lian Jun comforted him. Shi Jin
had already noticed that there was a light on in his villa, and said anxiously, "No, they didn't leave. The lights at home are on. Come on, let's go back. I don't know how they solved lunch and whether they have eaten dinner."
Lian Jun looked over and saw a light coming from the direction of the house. He glanced at Shi Jin, whose eyes lit up because the lights were on at home, rubbed his fingers on the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator.
After the car stopped in the yard, Shi Jin immediately got out and ran towards the house, pushing the door open.
The five brothers were all sitting in the living room obediently. The wounds on their bodies had been treated and they looked fine. I guess they had restrained their strength when they attacked Xiang Aoting. When they heard the door open, they all turned their heads and looked over, and then stood up immediately after seeing Shi Jin at the door.
Shi Jin saw them, and he felt relieved after a day of worry. When he saw them stand up together, he frowned again. He wanted to ask them why they had a fight, but when he saw that they all had bruises on their faces, he said, "Don't do this again next time... Come out and help me move things. It's late today, so stay another day and make dumplings together later."
The brothers who thought they would be questioned were all stunned, then some lowered their heads, some turned their heads away, and Rong Zhouzhong simply turned around, covered his eyes, and said, "I'm going to wash my face." After that, he walked away quickly. Shi Jin
was full of questions.
Xiang Aoting was the calmest. He coughed softly to suppress the choking in his throat, then took the initiative to approach Shi Jin, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "Welcome home."
Shi Jin was stunned by the hug, and vaguely realized that something was wrong. He looked at everyone and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why did they all look like they were about to cry?
"It's nothing. We all talked about some unhappy things in the afternoon. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable now." Xiang Aoting stepped away, touched his head, changed the subject and asked, "What did you buy? Did you have dinner?" Shi
Jin frowned, and carefully looked at everyone's expressions. Seeing everyone They all looked like they were trying to pretend that nothing had happened. They opened their mouths and didn't ask any more questions. They just turned sideways and said: "We had dinner and bought some New Year's goods... Why do you want to make yourself unhappy during the Chinese New Year? Just forget about the unhappy things and talk about them..."
"Well, you're right." Xiang Aoting touched his head again, tried his best to smile at him, and then went out to help Lian Jun get something.
Shi Jin watched Xiang Aoting walk to the car, then turned back to look at Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing who had already walked over.
"Sorry, I made you worry." Shi Weichong also smiled at Shi Jin, then stretched out his arms to hug him, paused for two seconds before letting go, touched his head, and went to help move things. Shi Jin
frowned, and after he left, he looked at Fei Yujing again and asked, "What happened to you?"
Fei Yujing didn't say anything, raised his hand to press his wrinkled eyebrows, hugged him, and then stepped forward to help move things
. Shi Jin: "..." What's going on? Even the most frank Fei Yujing is playing mysterious...
He was more and more confused, and before he could figure it out, Li Jiuzheng rushed over, hugged him and rubbed his face hard a few times, said sorry, then ran to the car, caught the fattest chicken and held it in his arms, and rushed back to the house.
Shi Jin again: "..."
When the things were almost moved, Rong Zhouzhong came back from washing his face. His nose and eyes were red, and he didn't look like he went to wash his face, but more like he went to cry.
Shi Jin looked at him with dead fish eyes and said, "I know, you also want to hug me, and then run to help move things with a constipated expression of "I have something to do, but I just won't tell you". I understand this routine. Come on, hug it sooner and it's done sooner." After saying that, he opened his arms with a numb face.
He was too lazy to care about what these brothers were talking about. It was New Year's Day, and he just wanted to spend it easily.
Rong Zhouzhong stared at him with red eyes, hugged him without any courtesy, and even shook him, then let him go, held his shoulders and said seriously: "Little bastard, who am I?" Shi Jin's
face turned black: "Who are you calling a little bastard!"
"Who am I!" Rong Zhouzhong asked persistently.
Shi Jin looked at his red and swollen eyelids, and couldn't bear to continue scolding him, and said: "What kind of idiotic question are you asking... You are the most handsome and popular actor Rong Zhouzhong, is this answer enough?"
"No." Rong Zhouzhong shook his head seriously and said, "I am a big bastard." After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed him heavily on the forehead, turned around and ran away with an inexplicable momentum. Shi Jin's eyes widened
, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and thought of something, and turned his head to look in the direction of Lian Jun.
Lian Jun stood by the car, looking at Rong Zhouzhong's back with a calm face.
Shi Jin: "..." It's over, he and his third brother are all done.
...
When making dumplings, Lian Jun took advantage of Shi Jin's absence and suddenly asked, "Do you want to drink?"
The brothers who were working hard paused when they heard this, and then looked at him. Shi Weichong, as a representative, responded, "Sure."
Lian Jun nodded, lowered his head and continued to make dumplings.
Shi Jin, who came out holding Li Jiuzheng's special edition bunny buns, had no idea that his lover and brother had already made some evil agreement. He walked to Lian Jun happily, showed him the buns in his hand, and said, "Fifth brother actually learned how to make this. Let's steam a few more today and use them for breakfast tomorrow morning? Use more dumplings for the filling."
Lian Jun looked at the slightly rough bunny buns in his hand and replied, "Okay, I'll help later." I promise to make it better than your fifth brother.
...
In the evening, after Shi Jin fell asleep, Lian Jun got up quietly and went downstairs to the living room.
The five brothers of the Shi family had all gathered together. When they saw him coming down, they each opened a bottle of wine on the table.
"Can your body bear it?" Shi Weichong asked.
"It's okay to drink less." Lian Jun replied and sat in the middle of them.
...
In the early morning, Shi Jin was awakened by the urge to urinate. He reached out and felt around him, but it was empty. He was shocked and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He sat up, lifted the quilt and looked around. He turned on the desk light and scanned the room. He really didn't see Lian Jun, so he got out of bed.
Finally, he found Lian Jun, who was already drunk, on the sofa in the living room. After that, he found the four brothers, one, two, three, and five, who were also drunk, at the table, on the carpet, behind the sofa, and outside the toilet door.
He stood in the living room full of corpses, smelling the alcohol in the air, veins on his forehead throbbing, and he wanted to get angry but didn't know how.
"You guys..." He let out a long breath, turned around and looked at Lian Jun on the sofa, angry and helpless, "Don't you know what's wrong with you? You dare to get drunk..."
"Xiao Jin?" Xiang Aoting's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Shi Jin was stunned and turned his head to look.
Xiang Aoting came in from outside with a trash can and asked, "Why did you get up?"
He was woken up by the urge to pee, but that's not the point!
Shi Jin pointed at the drunks around him and asked with a suppressed temper, "What's going on? What did you do?"
Xiang Aoting glanced at the drunk people and explained with a little embarrassment, "We all had a drink together and accidentally drank too much... You go back to sleep, I'll take care of them."
"Amazing, you actually drank with me behind my back." Shi Jin nodded, and he calmed down after being extremely angry. He turned around and glanced at the drunks, and said with a dark face, "You can't handle it alone, I'll join you."
...
The living room was too messy, Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting first moved everyone to the sofa, and then carried people to the room in batches. Out of selfishness, Shi Jin first let Xiang Aoting accompany him to carry Lian Jun back to the room.
When Shi Jin settled Lian Jun downstairs, he unexpectedly found that Xiang Aoting was also missing. He frowned and looked around, and finally found Xiang Aoting who had just vomited in the toilet.
"Fourth brother, why are you also..." He was really helpless and asked, "What happened to you? Fighting and drinking."
Xiang Aoting washed his face, looked at him through the mirror, was silent for a while, and asked: "Xiao Jin, the dream you told me when you were in the barracks, was it really just a dream?"
Dream?
Shi Jin was puzzled, and then quickly remembered what dream he was talking about. His expression was unnatural for a moment, and he turned his head and replied nonchalantly: "Why did you suddenly mention this? Of course it was a dream. Didn't I tell you at that time?"
His discomfort and reluctance to mention it were so obvious, how could Xiang Aoting not understand. He couldn't help but tighten his hands that were resting on the washbasin and said, "You were right at that time. Those things in the dream are very likely to happen... Xiaojin, say sorry to the you in the dream for me. Fourth brother did something wrong, very wrong. In that situation, nothing can be a reason for the elder brother to abandon the younger brother."
The salvation came so suddenly that Shi Jin was stunned. Looking into Xiang Aoting's eyes that were filled with apology and various complex emotions, he said a little dazedly, "Fourth brother, why are you..." "
Go to bed." Xiang Aoting turned to look at him again and smiled at him, "Let me deal with those guilty guys."
Guilty guys.
Shi Jin turned around to look at the other brothers who were drunk in the living room. He thought of their unusually late rise and loss of composure this morning, the fight afterwards, and the drunkenness now. He thought about Xiang Aoting's words and suddenly realized something. His heartbeat slowly accelerated. He turned back to look at Xiang Aoting and met his gentle and guilty eyes. His throat tightened. Before his brain could react, his voice had already rushed out of his throat: "Do you... regret it?"
He didn't know why he asked this, nor did he know what he was expecting. Maybe Xiang Aoting was just drunk and said something nonsense. He didn't mean anything in particular or hint at anything, but, but... But he suddenly just wanted to find an answer for the buried reluctance from the bottom of his soul.
Regret? Pain? Guilt? Did you finally understand?
Those questions that he thought he would never have the chance to ask again suddenly flooded his heart. No matter what, just treat it as a dream, he wants to know the answer.
Xiang Aoting's eyes were red, facing his expectant gaze, and replied word by word: "I regret it, everyone regrets it, Xiaojin, you can go home."
There was a faint sound of suppressed crying from the living room, Shi Jin's body suddenly relaxed, his eyes were blank for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled. He looked at Xiang Aoting, said nothing, turned around and went upstairs. When he passed the living room, he didn't look at the drunks lying on the sofa.
...
That night Shi Jin had a dream. In the dream, he was still fat and had just attended Shi Xingrui's funeral. When he walked out of the cemetery, he saw his five brothers waiting outside.
"It's time to go home, Xiao Jin." Xiang Aoting, who was standing in the front, stretched out his hand to him.
The perspective suddenly changed, he became the sky, and then the earth. From a third-person perspective, he saw the fat self stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up a little, and he ran happily towards his brothers who were waiting in front.
Suddenly, Shi Jin regained consciousness, opened his eyes in the darkness, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly pulled up the quilt to cover his eyes - so what he was most looking forward to in his heart was actually such an ending?
The body was suddenly hugged, and then his back was patted.
He came back to his senses, raised his head to meet Lian Jun's gentle eyes, his nose was sour, stretched out his arms to hug him tightly, and shook his head - no, he didn't want that ending, he wanted to meet Lian Jun, no matter how much hardship he had to endure, he wanted to be with Lian Jun.
"I had a nightmare." He whispered, holding Lian Jun's clothes tightly, his voice filled with joy after being relieved, "but I have decided to forget it."
Lian Jun responded with a low voice and hugged him tighter.
...
The next day, the five brothers of the Shi family said goodbye after breakfast, including Li Jiuzheng.
Shi Jin was surprised: "Fifth brother, you won't spend the New Year with me?"
Li Jiuzheng shook his head, suppressed his reluctance, and said: "This year I will spend it with my eldest brother."
"Ah..." Shi Jin glanced at Shi Weichong, and then he remembered that Shi Weichong had become a lonely man in a sense this year. He understood Li Jiuzheng's decision, smiled and hugged him, and said in his ear, "Fifth brother, you are the most handsome doctor I have ever seen."
Li Jiuzheng was stunned.
"If you don't like me anymore, come find me again. You're always welcome here." Shi Jin let go of his hand, took a step back, and looked at Rong Zhouzhong, who was clearly staying in the house but wearing sunglasses. He twitched his lips and hugged him. "You're also welcome to come anytime, Third Brother."
Rong Zhouzhong's Adam's apple moved, turned his head, but his hand hugged him back and patted him, saying, "I won't be polite to you."
After that, Shi Jin hugged Fei Yujing and Shi Weichong separately.
When Shi Jin hugged Fei Yujing, he took the initiative to say, "Keep in touch."
Shi Jin looked up at him, smiled at him, and nodded.
Shi Weichong said nothing. He just hugged Shi Jin tightly, buried his head in his shoulder for a while, and then restrainedly let go.
Shi Jin said nothing and just patted his shoulder gently.
When seeing everyone off, Shi Jin stopped Xiang Aoting and said, "Fourth brother, dreams are just dreams."
His voice was not small, and it was obvious that this sentence was not just for Xiang Aoting to hear. Several brothers who had already walked to the car stopped at the same time, but did not look back. Only Xiang Aoting, who was called, turned around.
"Happy New Year." Shi Jin smiled at Xiang Aoting, then took Lian Jun's hand and turned into the house.
Click, the door closed, separating the two worlds.
Xiang Aoting, who was outside the door, slowly warmed up his eyebrows after being stunned, turned around and walked to the car, patted his brothers one by one, got in the car first and left. The other brothers gradually came back to their senses, looked back at the gate of the villa, got in the car, and drove away.
Inside the door, Shi Jin hugged Lian Jun and smiled foolishly.
Lian Jun was infected by him and couldn't help but curl up his lips and said, "I thought you would be a little sad after sending them away."
"How could I be sad to send such a group of troublesome guys away?" Shi Jin refused to answer and said excitedly, "Lian Jun, let's celebrate!"
"Celebrate what?" Lian Jun asked with a smile. Shi Jin
looked up at the ceiling, smiling more and more foolishly, leaning on his shoulder, squinting his eyes and said, "Celebrate... I received a special gift last night."
This world has its own consciousness, and he has a feeling that that consciousness has actually been watching him, helping him, and pampering him, and it will be back soon.
