The flower in her hand was snatched away by Xu Zisheng. Zuo You was a little upset and pulled Fu Shenzhi to play the project.
Sitting on the pirate ship, taking advantage of the gap when the ship slowly rose, Zuo You couldn't help but ask the same question again: "How did Xu Zisheng and Mu Chuan know each other?"
Zuo You had thrown this question out of the window a moment ago, but now he couldn't help but think about it again.
Fu Shenzhi said calmly: "They are brothers."
Zuo You screamed: "What?!"
What a joke! Not to mention that one of them has the surname Xu and the other Mu, they don’t look alike.
Fu Shenzhi added: "Reconstituted family."
"Xu Zisheng's father and Mu Chuan's mother are a reconstituted family."
Zuo You thought to herself, "So that's how it is," and couldn't help but sigh, "The two brothers have such a good relationship. They're probably closer than biological children."
Fu Shenzhi hummed, his gaze turned to the distance, and he said indifferently: "Children who grew up in the gutter supporting each other, the hardships they experienced together have long surpassed the ties of blood."
Zuo You didn't understand what he meant and tilted her head in confusion.
Fu Shenzhi said: "Mu Chuan's mother is a street prostitute. She is not mentally normal and acts crazy on weekdays."
Zuo You didn't expect Mu Chuan to have such a background. She was stunned for a moment and stammered, "Then, then, then Xu Zisheng's father..."
Zuo You wanted to ask Xu Zisheng how his father fell in love with Mu Chuan's mother, but she felt it was impolite and she kept choosing her words.
Fu Shenzhi saw what he was thinking and said calmly, "The bitch is quite pretty, and besides, Xu Zisheng's father is raising two children, one of whom has a mental problem. Ordinary women would never look down on him."
Zuo You said, "Two children? What does that mean?"
Fu Shenzhi's eyelids drooped, covering the look in his eyes: "Xu Zisheng has a younger brother who is autistic. This disease runs in his family and the incidence rate is very high."
"Usually you see that idiot Xu Zisheng looking dumbfounded." Fu Shenzhi said, "He also has this gene, but it's not as dominant. Although his reaction is slower than others and his emotional intelligence is lower, he can still communicate normally with others."
Zuo You didn't know what to say for a moment.
She had always thought that Xu Zisheng was really stupid, and that he often meant well but did bad things. He looked at you pitifully with a pair of innocent puppy eyes. She felt annoyed, but she couldn't get angry when she looked into those black eyes.
In the end, I can only sulk by myself.
Unexpectedly, it was because Xu Zisheng was ill, and Zuo You felt a surge of guilt in her heart.
I immediately decided that I would never be angry with Xu Zisheng no matter what he did in the future!
Fu Shenzhi looked at her and said, "Xiao Yueliang, don't treat Xu Zisheng as a patient."
"Xu Zisheng would rather you treat him as a normal person and not get angry even if you scold him. If you treat him like a patient and pity him, he will... feel uncomfortable."
Zuo You understood what was going on, and over here, the people the two were talking about were having dinner together.
Xu Zisheng placed the bouquet from the little mermaid in the middle of the table, and said that whoever took the Disney princess bouquet would be with their loved one forever.
Xu Zisheng was peeling shrimps for Mu Chuan with gloves on. The bright red shrimp shells piled up like a small mountain on the table.
"How is Xu Ziwei?" Mu Chuan took the shrimp and stuffed one into Xu Zisheng's mouth.
Xu Zisheng said, "It's the same old same old thing. Boring. I don't do anything else except playing games."
Although Bodhi had lunch with Fu Shenzhi and the others at noon, he was obviously still not satisfied. He was now mixing with Xu Zisheng and Mu Chuan and trying to get another meal.
Bodhi said rudely, "Fellow Daoist, please peel two shrimps for me."
"Okay." Xu Zisheng nodded obediently, pressed the shrimp shell to pull out the shrimp meat, and handed the tender and spicy lobster meat to Bodhi.
Bodhi's eyes narrowed with smile: "Oh, so good, so good."
Mu Chuan said angrily: "Xu Zisheng, you are so honest. You just do whatever others ask you to do, idiot."
Xu Zisheng handed the lobster to Mu Chuan in a flattering manner: "Brother Chuan Chuan, eat, eat, I peeled them all the biggest for you."
Mu Chuan couldn't do anything about him. He took the lobster meat from his hand and looked at Xu Zisheng's bright black eyes, and was stunned again.
This scene is very familiar and has lasted for more than ten years, from when he was seven years old to now.
As if he had thought of something, Mu Chuan's eyes softened little by little.
Eighteen years ago, when Mu Chuan was seven years old, the woman he called "mother" took him away from the cramped and dilapidated rental house.
We arrived at a small residential building. It was dirty, messy, and crowded in the huge city, like a down-and-out homeless person.
But at least, I don’t have to hide from others and be chased by them to pay the rent anymore.
The person who opened the door was a decadent middle-aged man. Seeing the two of them, he said warmly, "Come on, come in."
The crazy woman pinched his arm hard and forced him to call her dad.
Mu Chuan's thin arm was pinched with purple bruises. The young boy tried his best to endure the pain and didn't say a word.
Xu Dashan smiled innocently and scratched his head: "If the kid is embarrassed, don't force him. Just call me uncle."
Mu Chuan followed the woman into the house. The living room he saw was not as messy as he had imagined. Although it was shabby and gray, it was surprisingly tidy.
The woman also had moments of normality. She asked Xu Dashan in surprise, "How come you three old men keep the house so tidy?"
Xu Dashan said, "It wasn't me who took care of it. It was Zisheng. Zisheng, come out quickly and say hello to... Auntie."
