"No, let's not be brothers today. I still have to do laundry." Shi Mu pushed Zhou Zhi away and prepared to go to the bathroom with a pile of clothes.
Zhou Zhi stopped him, relying on his height to hold Shi Mu, and then took Xia Hangyi with him, and took the two of them directly to the balcony to find Fu Yunshen who was washing his sneakers.
"Since everyone is here, I'll say it frankly." Zhou Zhi looked at Fu Yunshen with a serious expression, "Brother Shen, you can see ghosts, and Brother Mu can..."
After a pause, he directly moved the subject to Xia Hangyi, "And you, I originally thought that you were a mortal like me, but you deceived me, and the three of you deceived my feelings. I think you isolated me and despised me."
Shi Mu: "...Please tell me your evaluation of me objectively first."
Zhou Zhi: "You are a gourmet."
"..." In some ways, it was really impressive, and Shi Mu was very satisfied.
Fu Yunshen brushed his shoes, not even bothering to look at him, and sneered, "You are very self-aware."
Zhou Zhi was choked, and angrily pulled Shi Mu's sleeve, "Brother Mu, look at him, you take care of him!!"
Shi Mu's eyelids jumped, and he shook off his dishonest hand, "I'm not his wife, how can I take care of him?"
Fu Yunshen stopped moving his hands, pursed his lips, and vigorously rubbed the heels of his sneakers with a shoe brush.
[Ding! Fu Yunshen's brotherhood value to you has dropped by -50, for unknown reasons.] ? ? ?
Did she say something wrong again?
Shi Mu was confused.
Fu Yunshen shook off the foam on his shoes, picked up the basin and squeezed the three people apart. After changing the basin of water, he carefully rinsed his sneakers. Seeing Zhou Zhi still unwilling to give up, Fu Yunshen sighed and looked up, "Come on, tell me, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Zhi pouted and said coquettishly, "A brother of mine just opened a nightclub and asked us to go over and support him."
He blushed, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Because I fought with you and didn't do well in the exam, except for the necessary living expenses every week, the rest was taken back by me. I originally I saved a little, but I used it all on the medical treatment of my little brother's family..."
Xia Hang looked at him: "So you pretended to be rich, but now you have no money to go?"
Zhou Zhi raised his middle finger: "The summary is very good."
He squatted in front of Fu Yunshen and looked at him eagerly: "Brother Shen, let's go out and have fun this week. The store is just four blocks away from your community. It only takes ten minutes to get there. It's very convenient. Besides, Lao Xia just moved in, so we have to hold a welcome party to exchange brotherly feelings. What do you say?"
"No." Fu Yunshen pushed him away and prepared to pour water.
Zhou Zhi was very considerate and took the basin first, then trotted over to pick up the sneakers and put them aside to dry. Fu Yunshen ignored him, wiped his hands, went back to the house and changed out of his sweaty clothes.
Fu Yunshen was hopeless, Zhou Zhi looked at Shi Mu again.
Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't look at me, I have no money, I am penniless, I don't know who to ask for living expenses."
Zhou Zhi sighed and lay down on the table. In fact, he just wanted to go out and play. Since his living expenses were cut off, Zhou's sister ignored him. He had a lot of money, but she certainly couldn't ask for money from him. It would be embarrassing.
"Do you really want to go?" Xia Hang leaned over and approached him.
Zhou Zhi hummed, his eyelids drooping: "I just want to go out and play with you guys. It's so fun to sing together. We can also invite Bei Ling and the others to come over."
He is a person who can't sit still. It would be crazy for him to stay at home every week. It's not easy to get to know a few close brothers, so naturally he wants to go out and have fun together.
Xia Hang pursed his lips and patted his shoulder: "Okay, I'll invite you this week."
Zhou Zhi's eyes lit up, and he shook his head again.
Xia Hang smiled and said, "It's okay. I have enough living expenses. Besides, I just came to this city. I'm not familiar with anything and don't know anything. I also want to go out and have some fun. You don't have to be polite. After all, you have helped me a lot."
"Okay." Fu Yunshen suddenly slapped him and said, "I'll take you there. Don't bother others. Go and wash my clothes." "
Okay!" Zhou Zhi smiled and took the two pieces of clothes on the bed to wash.
Shi Mu looked at the bed sheet in his hand and stuffed it over: "Wash it for me too."
Zhou Zhi was unhappy: "Why? You don't pay, you wash it yourself."
Shi Mu straightened his chest and said shamelessly: "Because Brother Shen and I are family, I am him, he is me, you wash it for me is equivalent to wash it for him."
Zhou Zhi was convinced by this logic, happily picked up a bag of laundry, and went downstairs with a basket of clothes.
Behind him, Fu Yunshen smiled: "Huh? Family?"
She was stunned, her face flushed, and she turned her back as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not your family, don't recognize relatives randomly." He opened his mouth and slowly made a little gay mouth shape, then his face was pulled, and Fu Yunshen hummed a little song and went into the bathroom.
[Ding! Fu Yunshen's brotherly affection value for you +100. ]
Brotherly affection value?
Isn't it brotherly affection?
Shi Mu covered his face, still confused.
Xia Hang, who was sitting on the side eating melons, looked at Shi Mu and then at Fu Yunshen, frowned, and felt that things were not simple.
When the school bell rang on Friday, Zhou Zhi rushed into 415 first. When Shi Mu and the others came back, Zhou Zhi had packed up his things and was sitting by the bed waiting.
Shi Mu took back the clothes that had been hung out to dry on the balcony one by one and folded them. Zhou Zhi was shaking his legs, and when he couldn't wait, he suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten for a long time. He opened the drawer of the bedside cabinet and found a USB flash drive from it. Shi Mu took a look and realized that it was left by the four male ghost seniors. They hadn't had time to look at it yet.
Zhou Zhi put it in his pocket and chuckled twice: "We'll watch it at Brother Shen's house tomorrow."
Shi Mu retracted his gaze, shook his head and said: "Forget it, your brother Shen will not allow this thing to be played on their TV."
"Why don't I take my computer back? If he doesn't want to watch it, we can watch it secretly."
Shi Mu snorted and laughed: "Aren't you afraid that there are viruses in it."
After Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes twice, he sneaked up to Shi Mu, lowered his voice and smiled evilly: "I guess there should be that kind of thing in it."
"What kind of thing?"
He pinched his chest and laughed obscenely, and Shi Mu understood.
Don't say, there might really be this kind of stuff inside.
"Hurry up, let's go." Fu Yunshen, who had already packed up, urged impatiently at the door.
The two did not dare to delay and hurried to catch up.
Xia Hang put on the old canvas bag and said, "Beiling is on duty today, I have to wait for her first, otherwise you should go first and call me when the time comes."
"No, we are going together. I'm staying at Brother Shen's place today. Why don't you and Beiling come with us?"
Xia Hang shook his head and said, "I don't mind, but Beiling is a girl, it's not good for her to be with us."
That's true.
Shi Mu fluttered her eyelashes twice, "How about this, let's go to Brother Shen's place tonight, I'll cook you a meal, and tomorrow night we'll go to the restaurant Zhou Zhi mentioned." She looked at Fu Yunshen, "Is that okay, Brother Shen? If not, you can go to my place, but my place is a little small."
"I want sweet and sour pork ribs."
After saying that, Fu Yunshen turned around and left with his schoolbag on his back.
After picking up Bei Ling in the evening, he took a car directly back to Fu Yunshen's house. Shi Mu changed her shoes and went into the kitchen. The refrigerator was stuffed with a bunch of vegetables again. It was obvious that it was Fu Yunrui who did it.
Xia Hangyi and Bei Ling were both here for the first time and were a little reserved. Zhou Zhi was not polite and took a bite of an apple: "Don't be so formal. This is your home, so feel free."
The floor of Fu Yunshen's house was polished to a shine. There was a huge French window in front of the sofa, from which you could see the flowers and plants planted in the small courtyard outside. Xia Hangyi had lived in a large courtyard in the countryside since he was a child. He originally thought that Bei Ling's family was luxurious enough, but he didn't expect the Fu family to be even more luxurious.
He changed his shoes carefully, patted his butt and sat on the sofa, looked around, and whispered to Fu Yunshen: "There are so many of us, your family won't mind, right?"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Zhi got a bite of apple stuck in his throat. Shi Mu, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, almost cut off his finger, but Bei Ling was quick and grabbed his sleeve directly.
Anyone who has followed the news knows that Fu Yunshen is an orphan with an extremely complicated past.
The atmosphere was frozen, and Xia Hangyi was not stupid, so he immediately realized that he had said something wrong.
"I am the only one in my family." Compared with the three nervous people, Fu Yunshen looked calm, his eyebrows and eyes were normal, without any trace of anger.
Bei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Shi Mu busy in the kitchen alone. She felt a little sorry. She pinched the corner of her clothes and stood up: "I, I will go to help Senior Shi Mu, you guys chat."
As she said, she went into the kitchen.
Zhou Zhi joked: "Lingling thinks it's boring to sit with us."
She staggered and said nothing.
The TV was on, and Fu Yunshen turned to the sports channel as usual, supporting his chin and watching quietly.
Xia Hangyi's fingers on his knees kept moving, and he looked up at him from time to time, opening his mouth but unable to speak.
Fu Yunshen dropped the remote control and looked over: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, don't be shy."
Xia Hangyi glanced in the direction of the kitchen, narrowed his eyes, and very deliberately lowered his voice: "I heard that Shi Mu... ate your mother?"
Puff!
Zhou Zhi was really choked by the apple this time.
Fu Yunshen's deep eyes passed over Zhou Zhi, and he hummed softly and corrected: "Stepmother."
"Stepmother is also a mother, you... are not angry?"
Since knowing this, this question has been lingering in his mind and he can't figure it out. He thought that Fu Yunshen was not a stingy person. Since they were roommates, it would be better to ask some things clearly.
Zhou Zhi came over and whispered, "This is a bit complicated, you'd better not ask."
Xia Hangyi looked blank: "Complicated?"
Zhou Zhi scratched his head, not knowing what to say. After all, this was Fu Yunshen's private matter, and outsiders were not allowed to ask. If he went deeper, it might hurt the relationship between brothers. Although he was also curious about the truth.
Fu Yunshen curled his lips and looked straight at Xia Hangyi. His eyes were piercingly cold: "Do you want to know?"
Xia Hangyi shook his head and smiled softly: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I just asked a few questions."
He smiled coldly: "I killed my stepmother, twice, once to take her life, and once to make her soul fly away."
Xia Hangyi was stunned.
Zhou Zhi was also stunned.
Even though he had read the news, when he really heard him say it in person, his heart still went cold.
Fu Yunshen retracted his gaze, picked up the remote control and continued to turn the table.
Now that the topic was opened, Zhou Zhi was not prepared to keep it to himself. He asked carefully: "Brother Shen, can you tell me why? The news at that time said that you... said that you were afraid that your stepmother would take your inheritance..."
There was no expression on his face. Zhou Zhi was afraid that Fu Yunshen would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained: "Of course, I didn't misunderstand you. We have known each other for so long..." Clenching his fists, Zhou Zhi took a deep breath, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. I take back what I said. Fu Yunshen, you will always be my buddy."
He turned around, turned his head, and grabbed another big apple.
Xia Hangyi looked at the TV screen, "Me too."
Zhou Zhi chewed an apple, "I think your stepmother is definitely not a good person. I really support you."
Xia Hangyi nodded, "Me too."
Zhou Zhi: "Don't think too much. Don't kill me to silence me at night."
Xia Hangyi continued to nod, "Me too."
"Fuck, you are a fucking repeater. Can you stop imitating my words!"
"Me too..."
Xia Hangyi came back to his senses and blushed without saying anything.
The originally heavy atmosphere warmed up instantly because of these two people. Looking at the noisy Zhou Zhi and the shy Xia Hangyi, Fu Yunshen's lips gradually smiled, and the gloom in his eyes was melted by tenderness.
The lights in the room were on, and it was very warm. There was the sound of
a stove in the kitchen, and a friend was sitting next to him.
He watched TV and suddenly felt that it was great to be alive.
