Shame.

Disgrace.

I'd rather die.

These words kept circulating in Hang Feng's mind.

For Hang Feng, he had been trying to maintain his pitiful and ridiculous self-esteem in front of Xu Che, his "brother".

But all his persistence seemed to have vanished into thin air at this moment.

Hang Feng's face was pressed to the ground, and if possible, he didn't want to raise his head at this moment.

End it, stop, let everything stop at this second, so that he doesn't have to face what will happen next.

Of course, Hang Feng's wish is a bit absurd and it is impossible to achieve it easily.

Because Shen Yujing had already released the hand that was pressing on his neck, and got up from the ground by himself, and shouted, "Sworn brotherhood successful!"

Song Yi's head was also groggy, but her instinct made her see Shen Yujing get up and then she also got up, and did not forget to pat the dust on her knees.

Then, Song Yi looked at Hang Feng dazedly and asked, "Hang Feng? Why are you kneeling here?"

"Kneel?" Shen Yujing turned around on the spot, staggered towards Hang Feng again, although confused but still smiled, "Why is he kneeling here? So stupid!"

Hang Feng: "..."

He began to wonder if these two people were really drunk or were deliberately playing a trick on him here.

But Hang Feng also realized that he was the only one kneeling on the ground.

So Hang Feng immediately stood up from the ground. The pain in his knees and the scene in front of him gave him a headache.

Xu Che stretched out his hand to stop Song Yi who was spinning in circles, frowned and looked at Hang Feng, and asked: "What's going on?"

"How should I know." Hang Feng just felt irritated, but still pulled Shen Yujing who was about to hit the wall, and continued: "They brought me here, saying something about playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking."

Xu Che asked: "Then what?"

Hang Feng said: "Then they kept losing and drank all the wine."

The two looked at each other, and at this moment they saw a complex emotion called speechlessness in each other's eyes.

The two brothers who had always been at odds with each other felt a strange resonance for the first time in this world of suffering.

Xu Che changed the subject and said, "He revealed your identity today. If nothing unexpected happens, your classmates and friends should all know it."

Hang Feng said in a flat voice, "I don't have any friends."

"Really?" Xu Che raised the corner of his lips, pointed at the two next to him, and asked, "Doesn't sworn brotherhood count as friends?"

Hang Feng: "..."

Inexplicable emotions surged in his heart, making Hang Feng feel even more irritated.

Since Xu Che is here too, he can handle everything, so he has nothing to do here.

Hang Feng was about to leave, but was blocked by Xu Che.

Xu Che put away his smile, stretched out his hand to block the wall beside the door, and said: "They came here to accompany you. Should you really abandon them? You can't be like this."

The two brothers looked at each other, trying to see some different emotions from each other's eyes.

It was like a silent confrontation.

Finally, Hang Feng gave in and asked: "What should we do?"

Xu Che said: "I have a house next to your school. Send them all there first." After

Xu Che finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Song Yi and waved, "Hey, what is this?"

Song Yi sat on the chair and felt that her head was painful and dizzy, and her eyelids were unusually heavy. She tried hard to open her eyes but it was very difficult.

But even so, there was still a strange thing waving in front of her, irritable and disturbing her sleep.

So Song Yi simply reached out and grabbed the thing directly.

That's good, it won't bother her anymore.

Thinking of this, Song Yi tried to hold the thing in her hand tightly to prevent it from escaping, and her head tilted and she fell asleep again.

Xu Che said, "Go and help Shen Yujing, and take them to the car first."

Hang Feng disagreed and asked, "Why should I help Shen Yujing?"

Xu Che raised his hand and shook it in the air. His big hand was held tightly by Song Yi's small hand, and such shaking was not enough to separate them.

There was no answer, but it was better than any language.

Hang Feng frowned, but still took one of Shen Yujing's arms and put it on his shoulders, and helped him out the door.

Looking at the backs of the two people going out first, Xu Che looked down at the girl sitting on the chair, but suddenly felt a little troubled.

Although Shen Yujing was drunk and acting crazy, he did not lose the ability to move. But Song Yi was obviously different. She sat here quietly and fell asleep.

At this moment, Song Yi loosened the hand that was holding him, raised it and rubbed her eyes, as if she was not used to someone staring at her with her eyes closed, so she turned her face to the other direction and continued to rest.

Xu Che hesitated for a few seconds, but still bent down, picked her up horizontally, and walked out.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Song Yi lose her sense of security, so she instinctively reached out and hugged Xu Che's shoulders.

The sky was getting a little dark, and the last ray of light from the setting sun fell on the girl's seaweed-like long hair and her soft-looking lips.

Xu Che just lowered his head and glanced away, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes was reduced a little. Under the silver earrings, his ears seemed to be a little red from earlobe to ear root.

Of course, it was just a seeming.

He increased the strength in his hands, hugged the girl tighter, and then quickened his pace to catch up with Hang Feng.

Fortunately, the car was not far away.

Xu Che put Song Yi on the back seat and put a few hangover candies into her coat pocket.

Xu Che sat in the driver's seat and looked at Hang Feng, "You sit between them, hold on a little."

"I won't sit with you either." Hang Feng silently withdrew his hand that was about to open the passenger door, opened the back door expressionlessly, and squeezed from beside Shen Yujing to the middle seat.

The back seat was quite spacious, and the two people were asleep, so it wasn't a big problem, Hang Feng thought.

But the moment the car started, two heads rested on Hang Feng's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

Hang Feng reached out mercilessly and pushed the two people aside at the same time without any discussion.

But the good times didn't last long, as the car started, the two people leaned over again.

Hang Feng, who was sitting in the middle: "?"

He reached out again and pushed the two people away, then adjusted their seat belts to the tightest to ensure that no matter what happened, they would be firmly fastened to their seats.

Xu Che, who watched the whole process from the rearview mirror in the car: "..."

This was something only Hang Feng could do.

In order to prevent Shen Yujing and Song Yi from being strangled to death by the seat belts in their sleep, Xu Che drove faster.

Song Yi felt that she had fallen asleep, and when her head no longer hurt so much, she opened her eyes.

The lights in the house were very dazzling. Before Song Yi could see the scene in front of her clearly, she heard a quarrel in her ears -

"Do I need him to recognize my identity? Should I cry and thank him for his kindness to me? Is this what you want to see?"

"Hang Feng, you know that this is not what I mean."

"So what? It was the wrong choice for me to go there today. I feel disgusted just by looking at him."

Song Yi raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, supporting himself to sit up from the bed.

As far as his eyes could see, Shen Yujing was lying on the sofa not far away.

He was lying carelessly with his arms wide open. If the sofa wasn't big enough, he would have fallen to the ground in the next second.

The door of the room was not closed tightly, leaving a gap so that the sounds from outside could be clearly transmitted.

Song Yi sat on the bed and listened for a while, and took this time to recall what happened before.

She and Shen Yujing wanted to get Hang Feng drunk, but in the end, except for Hang Feng, they were all drunk.

Thinking of this, Song Yi felt speechless.

She looked at Shen Yujing with disdain and whispered, "You're useless."

Song Yi stood up and walked to Shen Yujing's side, bent down and patted his face, "Hey, wake up, wake up!"

Shen Yujing frowned in his sleep, then stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, then turned over and faced the sofa, with his back to Song Yi.

Song Yi: "..."

Forget it, she shouldn't count on Shen Yujing.

Shen Yujing was drunk and not awake, Xu Che and Hang Feng were arguing in the living room.

After realizing this, Song Yi chose to lie back on the bed, thinking that it would be better for her to pretend to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground, as if a few yellow candies had fallen to the ground.

Song Yi picked it up and saw that it was written "hangover candy".

Although I don't know where this thing came from, it seems to be useful.

So Song Yi opened one and put it in her mouth, then lay down on the bed again.

The door was open, and the sound of quarreling outside was still clear.

Xu Che and Hang Feng quarreled for a long time, until Song Yi fell asleep while listening.

Forget it, let them be.

She didn't care, she wanted to sleep.

Sleepiness came again, Song Yi pulled the quilt over her head, and fell asleep again amid the quarrel between Xu Che and Hang Feng.

And the living room.

As two brothers, Xu Che and Hang Feng have never said more words to each other in their lives than today.

But they were all quarrels, disagreements, and contradictions.

Even if they both hated the man called father, it could not change the fact that they had many different concepts.

Like two wolves that had exhausted all their strength, they sat at the two ends of the living room, but chose to remain silent at this moment.

Hang Feng sneered, "You were here today, and he wanted to move my mother's grave! For the sake of his real estate development, he is a beast!"

"Hang Feng." Xu Che called his name disapprovingly, "Don't tell me you really can't see that he doesn't want to move that piece of land, that's just a means for him to make you compromise."

Let Hang Feng compromise, let him come back to this family obediently, let him change his surname from Hang to Xu, and become Xu Yuanguo's son again.

Hang Feng only uttered two words, "Dream on."

Xu Che continued to persuade him, "It's just a temporary setback. His body can't hold on for much longer."

Hang Feng said word by word, "No, impossible."

"Flexibility does not mean shame. Excessive self-esteem is sometimes stupid. When he dies, you can even build a garbage dump on his grave. I will never stop you." Xu Che took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then stood up and walked out, leaving only one sentence.

"Think carefully, do you really want to make your aunt restless?"

Xu Che's words fell, and the sound of the door closing rang out.

The whole room fell into silence again.

Hang Feng sat alone in the corner of the sofa, buried his head in his knees, and his eyes were red.

He understood the truth of what Xu Che said, but he just couldn't get over it in his heart.

If he could ask his mother, what would she want him to do?

Hang Feng felt that his mind was in a mess and he had no answer at all.

And suddenly——

There was a "creak" sound, and the door of the room was pushed open.

Song Yi poked his head out from inside and looked at Hang Feng, and asked, "Is he gone?"

"Yeah." Hang Feng nodded, and immediately raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes to avoid being noticed by Song Yi.

Song Yi smiled at Hang Feng and said, "I'm hungry."

Hang Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

Song Yi thought for a few seconds and replied, "Snail noodles."

-

Shen Yujing woke up in a strange stench.

He had never smelled such a strange smell in his life, it was like... like a toilet exploded.

Seeing the strange environment he was in, Shen Yujing quickly climbed up from the sofa, sniffed hard, and began to look for the source of the stench.

Shen Yujing walked forward step by step, and the moment he opened the door, a strong stench rushed into his nose.

At this moment, Song Yi and Hang Feng were sitting at the table, both of them buried their heads and ate something.

Shen Yujing opened his mouth and wanted to speak -

"Gee!"

Shen Yujing's shout made Song Yi and Hang Feng successfully discover his presence.

Song Yi raised his head and looked at Shen Yujing, his eyes and even his nose were red, with tears in his eyes.

Shen Yujing took a big step forward, stared at Hang Feng and asked, "What did you do to her?"

Song Yi: "?"

Hang Feng: "?"

Shen Yujing took out a piece of paper and pressed it on Song Yi's face, "Why are you crying? It's so ugly. He bullied you, didn't he? Tell me if you have anything to say."

Song Yi took the paper away from her face helplessly, pointed to the bowl in front of her, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm eating something, and it's spicy."

Shen Yujing followed Song Yi's gaze and looked over, and when he saw the "rice noodles" in front of him covered with chili oil, he believed what Song Yi said.

"You two have such a good appetite! How can you eat when the toilet exploded?" Shen Yujing said as he covered his nose with his hand, "Why are you sitting there like an idiot? Find someone to fix it quickly!"

Hang Feng: "..."

Song Yi: "..."

Song Yi waved to Shen Yujing, "Come here and sit down."

Song Yi pushed another unopened serving of snail noodles in front of Shen Yujing, and handed him a pair of disposable chopsticks, "Try it."

Shen Yujing took the chopsticks suspiciously and asked, "What is this?"

Song Yi did not answer, but helped him open the lid.

The stench that hit his face frightened Shen Yujing so much that he stood up immediately, took a few steps back, and said in shock: "What is this?"

He covered his nose tightly with his hands, looking like he was going to faint in the next second.

"The snail noodles I told you about last time." Song Yi rolled her eyes at Shen Yujing, "If you don't want to eat it, forget it, I'll go find Murong Huan and Jiang Yiheng tomorrow."

Wait, this is the snail noodles we said we would eat together last time.

If he eats it now, he will get it before Murong Huan and Jiang Yiheng.

The next time everyone eats together, he can be very proud because he has already eaten it.

This kind of "dignity" made Shen Yujing tremble and hold the chopsticks tighter. He sat down next to Song Yi again and raised his hand tremblingly.

Although this taste... but... it should be delicious.

Facts have proved that Shen Yujing was right.

When the first mouthful of snail noodles entered his mouth, his eyes widened.

Then he didn't even bother to say anything, and he took the chopsticks and buried his head in eating.

Delicious! Really delicious!

Mouth after mouthful of noodles was eaten by him, and Shen Yujing gradually adapted to the nauseating taste.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Shen Yujing took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the empty bowl, and posted it on WeChat Moments.

[Lonely Wolf]: Snail noodles [thumbs up] [Picture]

The first comment was Murong Huan.

[Welcome]:?

[Welcome]: You eat snail noodles behind my back?

[Welcome]: Speechless! ! !

[Jiang Yiheng]:.

A period is enough to express his mood.

Seeing the reactions of Murong Huan and Jiang Yiheng, Shen Yujing felt even better, and even his "vanity" was greatly satisfied.

It was already late, and the three of them left the house.

The driver of the Shen family had been waiting downstairs.

Shen Yujing was startled when he saw it, and asked as if he had seen a ghost: "Why are you here?"

The driver replied respectfully: "Master Xu contacted his family."

"You talk too much." Shen Yujing expressed his attitude towards Xu Che in three words, and then asked Song Yi and Hang Feng, "Get in the car, I'll take you home."

"No need." Song Yi pointed to the bus stop not far away, and then walked in that direction.

Hang Feng followed behind her.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Yujing frowned, and inexplicably thought of the day when Song Yi and Quan Le were racing with him on a shared electric car and were finally caught by the traffic police.

Forget it, considering that Hang Feng was really miserable today, let Song Yi comfort Hang Feng on his behalf.

So Shen Yujing closed the car window, closed his eyes, and said, "Let's go home."

At this moment, at the bus stop.

Song Yi and Hang Feng quickly waited for the bus they were going to take, but there were a lot of people on the bus, so Song Yi stood at the back door holding the railing.

Hang Feng stood beside her.

Song Yi sniffed and waved to Hang Feng.

Hang Feng looked at her, then lowered his head and put his ear closer.

Song Yi stretched out a hand and put it close to his ear, and asked, "I think we seem to smell, remember to take a shower and change clothes when we go back."

Hang Feng: "..."

Does she need to remind him? It's not like he doesn't know!

The car continued to move forward, and there was an empty seat at the station.

A young couple next to them was being polite.

"Honey, please sit down quickly." "It's

okay, baby, I'm not tired, you sit down."

"No, honey, I think you've worked hard today."

"But baby..."

"Stop." Song Yi stretched out a hand, "You two are not tired, right? I'm tired, so I'll sit down."

So Song Yi squeezed through the two couples and sat in the window seat. She leaned her head against the window and closed her eyes again.

I'm still a little sleepy, so I'll rest for a while.

The couple next to her looked at Song Yi with anger.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

The man was about to get angry and reached out to touch Song Yi, but suddenly felt a piercing pain in his hand.

Hang Feng grabbed the man's hand expressionlessly and turned it in the opposite direction, signaling him to move aside with his eyes.

The man turned pale in pain, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, so he endured the pain and took two steps to the side.

Hang Feng stood beside Song Yi and stretched out his hands to separate her position from the entire carriage into a small world.

It's not that he cares about Song Yi that much, but he is mainly afraid that she will be beaten.

On the other side, the Shen family.

Shen Yujing returned home, and his mother was unhappy because he entered the house with his left foot first.

Shen's mother asked: "Where have you been? Why did you come back now and smell of alcohol?"

Shen Yujing answered honestly, "I went to drink with Hang Feng."

Shen's mother looked at Shen Yujing with caution and suspicion, "Is it only Hang Feng? Why did I hear there was another girl?"

"You mean Song Yi." Shen Yujing pretended to be calm and answered: "The one you saw today."

After Shen Yujing finished speaking, he sat on the sofa and took a sip of the water in front of him.

Shen's mother suddenly asked, "That pretty girl, do you like her?"

"Puff--cough cough!"

Shen Yujing was almost choked to death by a bottle of mineral water, "What are you talking about? I'm still a student, my mission is to study, don't think about those messy things all day long!"

"But your study is very bad." Shen's mother said directly, "You can't recall your youth in the future and find that you had poor grades, few friends, and even no ignorant love, right? That's so embarrassing, don't tell others that you are my son."

Shen Yujing: "..."

It seems that there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"Nothing else matters, what matters is whether you like her or not."

Shen's mother said as she moved her face closer, with five big words written on her face-

I want to hear gossip.

Shen Yujing put down the water, turned his face to another direction, avoiding his mother's sight, and said: "She and I are just... friends."

"Just friends?" Shen's mother rolled her eyes, "When you saw her today, did you pay attention to your expression? At least be more restrained outside, and don't embarrass me if you don't catch her."

"Stop talking, you are so annoying!" Shen Yujing interrupted his mother dissatisfiedly, reached out and grabbed her blonde hair, then stood up and walked upstairs, "It's inexplicable! I can't explain it to you!"

Shen's mother looked at her son's back, shook her head with emotion, and commented: "The acting is really bad."

Who hasn't been young?

From the scene seen at Xu's house today, she can be sure that these three children all have a good impression of the little girl.

When these people stand together, the atmosphere of an idol drama is definitely there. That

's right. After all, the girl's appearance and temperament are so outstanding. She is so gentle, well-behaved and cute. Who wouldn't like her?

At this moment, Shen's mother, who had a wrong first impression of Song Yi, thought so, and silently voted for her son in her heart.

On the other side, Shen Yujing returned to his room.

He sat at the table, but his mind kept repeating his mother's words just now -

"Nothing else matters. What matters is whether you like her."

Shen Yujing opened the drawer in front of him and placed everything inside on the table.

On the left is a huge iron hammer, which was Song Yi's birthday gift to him.

On the right is a small gift box. When you open it, you will find a pink crystal necklace polished into the shape of a hammer, and it is also inlaid with the gift he failed to give to Song Yi.

Does he like Song Yi?

Shen Yujing frowned, he couldn't think of an answer.

As the saying goes, books contain golden houses and beautiful women. When you encounter problems, read more books.

So Shen Yujing came to his father's study and began to look for books.

A whole wall of bookshelves was filled with various books on finance, world classics, and a book of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".

This book looked a bit old. It might be that his mother used it to coax him to sleep when he was a child, and she just put it here.

But in this study, Shen Yujing felt that this was probably the only book he could understand.

So he took the book back to his room and opened a story at random -

"The Flying Box"

The storyteller Sven inherited his father's inheritance and soon squandered everything, leaving only an old box. But this magical old box could actually fly and brought Sven to the princess of his dreams. Sven tried everything to marry the princess, but in the end he found out that he didn't love money or the princess, but telling stories. [Note 1]

Shen Yujing: "......?"

He didn't understand, but he was shocked.

But his father said that reading can make you wise, and any problem can be answered in a book.

Could it be... Could it be...

Shen Yujing looked at the hammer in front of him and suddenly had a bold idea.

Could it be that he didn't like Song Yi, but... the hammer?

Huh? He likes a hammer?
