Qi Yan had never thought of meeting Jiang Shui on the street. There was not only Jiang Shui, but also Jiang Ze... and the heroine. By chance, he found Jiang Shui and Jiang Ze arguing on the street, and a weak girl was trying to persuade them.

Qi Yan was holding a newly bought shirt in his hand, standing blankly on the other side of the street, looking at it.

He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Angry? Not really. Aggrievance? Not much. Qi Yan touched his chest and felt more sadness.

His intuition told him that the girl was the heroine in the original novel. And the reason why Jiang Ze and Jiang Shui were arguing must be her.

Things were moving too fast. Jiang Shui's affection for him was only at the stage of being ignorant and curious about a man-man relationship. If he felt that the heroine was more suitable for him at this time, it would be a matter of a moment for him to have a favorable impression of her.

After all, in the minds of ordinary people, the feelings between men and women are much more normal than those between men.

Qi Yan thought it would be better for him to leave quietly, not to push Jiang Shui too hard, and not to show any emotions beyond friendship. This would be very helpful for him and Jiang Shui now.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a woman's scream suddenly came from there. Qi Yan looked back reflexively and saw Jiang Ze punching Jiang Shui in the face angrily. Jiang Shui staggered and stepped back, and happened to step on the curb on the street. He lost his balance and fell backward. Sitting on the

road, Jiang Shui's eyes were spinning. When he came to his senses, he heard the shrill sound of a car horn ringing in his ears.

The girl screamed, and Jiang Ze was also startled. He ran over to help him up, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, Jiang Shui felt a strong force pushing him from behind. He was pushed to stand up from the ground, and the sound of the brakes and the sound of a heavy object falling behind him the next second made his heart beat violently.

"Ah! Someone was hit!"

"There's a car accident, call 120!"

Passersby screamed in panic, Jiang Shui felt that he couldn't hear clearly, and Jiang Ze and the girl who rushed over expressed their concern for him...

A bad premonition arose in his heart, and Jiang Shui didn't dare to look back, for fear that he had seen something bad.

But he had to look back.

Five meters away from the vehicle involved in the accident, a man in casual clothes was lying. Under him was bright red blood, flowing out from an unknown wound, gathering into a small pool, the bright red was dazzling and nauseating.

The man's clothes were very familiar.

Jiang Shui didn't want to admit who had worn this set of clothes before. He didn't want to recall the words that the man whispered when he pushed him away.

- It's really stupid to quarrel in the street!

Familiar tone, still speaking insincerely, with a hint of venomous tongue that is never concealed.

In that person's heart, everyone is a fool... In fact, he is also a fool. If he is not a fool, how can he support a fool like himself who is unwilling to fight for no reason?

Slowly brushing away Jiang Ze and the girl's hands, Jiang Shui walked away blankly, slowly moving towards the pool of blood.

"Hey..." Jiang Ze called him from behind: "I have called 120, don't worry!"

Jiang Shui seemed not to hear it. After walking over, the moment he saw the man, the tears that had been swirling in his eyes burst out.

"Qi Yan..." Jiang Shui choked, walked over, and knelt beside him.

Not caring about the blood staining his pants, Jiang Shui picked up Qi Yan's body, leaned on his shoulder and sobbed softly, calling Qi Yan's name again and again, like an abandoned puppy, without getting any response.

Jiang Ze looked there in shock, and it seemed that he didn't expect that the man was Jiang Shui's friend. He lowered his head and looked at his hands, as if his hands were stained with human blood.

Everyone around sighed. When the ambulance came, Jiang Ze and the girl also wanted to go to the hospital, but were pushed away by Jiang Shui coldly.

"Please stay away from me."

Jiang Shui knew that perhaps such cold anger was unfair to them, but he had no time to think about that now.

If Qi Yan had any accident, Jiang Shui didn't know how long he could hold on.

Qi Yan was sent to the operating room, his blood dyed the blue sterilized sheets red, Jiang Shui was covered in blood, sitting dejectedly on a bench outside the operating room.

He seemed to be floating on the clouds, exhausted and in pain.

What if something happened to Qi Yan? No, nothing will happen, he won't let anything happen to Qi Yan...

Tears covered his entire cheeks, but Jiang Shui stared at the floor in a daze, his expressionless face seemed to be stupid.

Seeing this, Jiang Ze, who dared to come alone, leaned against the wall in silence.

"Sorry..." Jiang Ze lowered his proud head: "You can hit me or scold me, but don't do this... For Rongrong, we can compete fairly."

"Leave here." Jiang Shui's voice is numb: "For the time being, don't let me see you."

"...I know he is your friend, so you are very angry and sad, but this is not an option for you." After a pause, Jiang Ze seemed reluctant to say: "Rongrong will also feel distressed." Jiang

Shui curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and snorted indifferently: "No need, any of you have pity."

"Hey, Jiang Shui, don't be ungrateful!" Jiang Ze spoke without thinking: "I admit that I was wrong? I apologized, and the medical expenses can be counted on me. What else do you want? We are brothers!"

Jiang Shui was silent, and it took a long time before he slowly raised his head.

Facing Jiang Shui's face, Jiang Ze was stunned. He had never seen his dull elder brother cry before. Just now on the street, he was already shocked. Now, he was stunned again.

No matter how bad their relationship was, no matter how much he looked down on this elder brother from his uncle's family, no matter how disappointed he was with the path he chose, he had never felt so sorry for his elder brother as he did now.

He cried like a child, he was at a loss, he was waiting for an unknown news.

Maybe, they will be separated by Yin and Yang, never to see each other again; maybe, everyone will be happy and have a good time.

The man's injuries were really scary.

Jiang Ze didn't say anything else. He knew very well that he was wrong, but now there was nothing he could do.

[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan increases by +20, current favorability: 90]

Do you know why a relationship beyond friendship is defined?

If it were before, Jiang Shui would say, I don't know.

Now, he will smile bitterly and tell everyone that it was a heart-shaking tragedy that made him understand what is the love that cannot be separated.
