Han Ji: "I've been drinking. It's not convenient for me to walk."
Han Jue: "With Second Uncle?"
Han Ji: "They all drank. Fourth uncle also had a drink with him."
Han Jue: "Not over yet?"
Han Ji: "It's almost over. It will be over when you come back."
Han Jue: "Okay, go back right away. I'll have a drink with him before he leaves."
Zhou Mo watched Han Jue put down the phone and she felt a little worried.
"Are you suspected by your family?"
"fine."
Han Jue didn't seem to take it to heart.
The taxi arrived at the gate of the apartment complex. Zhou Mo thought he would stop there, but unexpectedly Han Jue said, "Take you inside."
Zhou Mo: "No need, go back now."
Han Jue insisted: "I must send you in, otherwise Han Chen will not be at ease."
Zhou Mo thought it was only a few steps away, so he nodded.
Han Jue followed her all the way to the bottom of the apartment building before stopping.
"Which floor?" Han Jue asked.
"Third floor."
"Go up."
Zhou Mo looked at him, a little confused. She asked, "Why are you so nice to Han Chen?"
In other words, it’s too good to be true.
Han Chen is now in a difficult situation and has cut off all contact with her. The only one who comes to his aid is his fifth brother, who has no blood relationship with him.
Han Ji called him just now. Although Han Jue responded calmly and did not show any panic, the pressure from the Han family was real.
Even under such pressure, Han Jue was still willing to take action, and even considerately sent her to the door of the building.
This is a little different from what Han Chen said, that Han Jue doesn't fit in with them.
At this moment, there was no expression on Han Jue's face.
But precisely because he had no expression at all, Zhou Mo could better understand the pressure he was under.
"Because he's my brother."
"Hmm?" Zhou Mo was puzzled.
"It's the elder brother's responsibility to take care of his younger brother," Han Jue said without saying anything else, urging, "Go back, I have to go."
Zhou Mo nodded, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Zhou Mo turned and went into the building.
Han Jue watched Zhou Mo go in, then stood downstairs for a while. When he saw the lights on the third floor were on, he turned and left.
On the way back.
Han Jue suddenly remembered Zhou Mo's question in his mind - why did he help Han Chen.
Han Jue pulled the corner of his lips helplessly.
Since he is not close to everyone, naturally no one can understand what he is thinking, but his heart is not made of stone.
Han Chen treated him well in the past, and now it's his turn to help Han Chen. They grew up together and are brothers with the closest age, so there's no reason why.
If you really want to know why, it’s probably because Han Chen helps him choose gifts every time.
Every Chinese New Year, the Han family would buy gifts for the six brothers.
Although the eldest brother was much older than them, and was about to graduate from college when they were still little kids of five or six years old, the eldest brother still had gifts.
There were a lot of things bought, and they were very diverse. There were toy guns, cars, Legos, models that boys liked, as well as various books and picture books.
The items were for the six of them, and each person could choose whatever he wanted.
Because he was adopted, whenever he encountered such a situation, he would assume that he was the last choice.
If he comes across something he likes, as long as other brothers also like it, he will not compete with them. Whatever others have chosen is his.
A child without blood relationship has no right to compete with others in such a family.
The day before New Year’s Eve of a certain year.
Han Chen and Han Ze were building a snowman in the yard, discussing what gifts to choose for New Year's Eve.
Han Zeren was very smart. He had already found out from his uncles what each family had prepared, and he also secretly told Han Chen everything.
At that time, Han Jue moved a small stool and sat at the door to bask in the sun.
He never played with his other brothers because they were too naughty and following them would either get his clothes dirty or cause trouble.
No matter what happens, it will eventually implicate your parents.
If my clothes were dirty and my grandfather saw it, he would scold my mother. If I made trouble, he would scold my father if he found out.
His parents were looked down upon because they were unable to have children.
His parents were very good to him, so Han Jue had no reason to cause trouble and let his parents be criticized by his grandfather.
Han Jue was also more afraid of hearing someone say, "The adopted child is just not good enough."
Instead of doing this, it is better to be cautious in everything, smooth out all your personality and edges, so that others can't find fault with you.
So he basically doesn't participate in the activities of other brothers.
He would either read in his room or watch others play from afar.
Just like now.
He sat on a small stool, supporting his chin, staring blankly at Han Chen and Han Ze making a snowman. The book in his hand was rolled up, and he had no intention of reading it at all.
Han Chen and Han Ze were discussing heatedly. Han Chen turned his head and saw him sitting at the door.
"Fifth brother, come here and let's talk about what you want tomorrow," Han Chen said and waved to him excitedly.
Han Jue was in a daze and didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Han Ze, however, pulled Han Chen aside and whispered, "Call Lao Wu over here. How are we going to divide the things?"
"Just divide it slowly," said Han Chen.
"Okay, okay," Han Ze said nothing more, continued to build the snowman, and soon compromised.
"You guys play, it's too cold, I'm going in," Han Jue stood up, took the stool and book, and went into the house.
After dinner in the evening, Han Chen secretly came to find him.
He was practicing calligraphy at the time, and the Spring Festival couplets were to be posted the next day. Among the children in the family, his third brother Han Chi and he were the best at calligraphy. Grandfather Han Hongde said that Han Chi and he would be responsible for writing the Spring Festival couplets posted at home on New Year's Eve, one writing for the courtyard gate and the other for the front door.
After seeing the calligraphy he wrote, Han Chen praised it for being beautiful. Then he changed the subject and quietly revealed to Han Ze the gift list he had inquired about, and asked him what he wanted.
He said whatever he wanted.
Han Chen didn't believe it, so he pulled him aside and forced him to tell him two or three things.
Han Jue didn't understand why Han Chen was so persistent in wanting to know what he liked, so he casually mentioned two things that he could barely remember.
When it was time to distribute gifts on New Year's Eve, Han Jue finally understood why Han Chen did this.
Han Chen is the youngest in the family. Whenever this happens, the elders and his brothers in the family will let him choose first. The two things Han Chen chose are the two things he mentioned casually.
Before New Year's Eve was over, Han Chen came running to him with the gift in his hand and asked to exchange it with him, saying that he didn't like it and that's why he wanted to exchange it with him.
However, Han Chen did not do this for just one year, but every year thereafter.
He also asked Han Chen why he didn't choose what he liked, but chose what he liked.
Han Chen said that he didn't have anything he liked. Instead of having the first choice but not knowing what to choose for himself, it would be better to choose something for him.
Han Chen also said that Fifth Brother always made the last choice and the only things he could choose were books and other things that no one else had chosen.
He said that books are good and it is always a good idea to read more.
Han Chen said, however, that it is right to read more, but at this time what one is pursuing is the joy of receiving gifts.
If a gift makes people unhappy, then it is better not to have it.
