Absolute possession: This brother stands in the way of love

During the two-day weekend, Wang Kangming and Fu Zihua rushed back from City C to visit Bai Yu.

As soon as Fu Zihua entered the room, he came to the sofa and held up Bai Yu's delicate face. "Poor little Bai Bai, you have suffered so much, do you feel better?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's much better now. I can walk on my own with a cane."

Fu Zihua caught a glimpse of the marks on Bai Yu's neck. He turned his head and glared at Jian Shaoyang, who was ordering the servants to pour tea. "Can't you just be patient? He's not well yet."

Wang Kangming nudged him with his elbow and lowered his voice: "Don't interfere in the sexual affairs between husband and wife."

Seeing Bai Yu's ears turn red instantly, Fu Zihua quickly changed the subject, "When is your engagement ceremony?"

Jian Shaoyang sat down next to Bai Yu naturally and took him into his arms: "The engagement ceremony has been postponed until he fully recovers."

Fu Zihua: "Has Bai Yu been staying at home every day since he was discharged from the hospital? Isn't that boring?"

Bai Yu: "I plan to go back to school next week." He turned his head to look at Jian Shaoyang's tense profile, and added: "I can take care of myself, no problem at all."

"Who gave you the confidence?" Jian Shaoyang pinched his face: "I almost fell in the bathroom this morning."

Wang Kangming waved his hand: "I'm still here at school, what are you worried about? Have you forgotten that Bai Yu and I are classmates and roommates?"

Fu Zihua: "Let's go on a spring outing tomorrow, and take Bai Yu out for some fresh air." He turned to Bai Yu and asked: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Bai Yu paused and said, "I want to go home."

Jian Shaoyang frowned: "Go home?"

Bai Yu: "I want to go back to Yanhai to take a look."

Fu Zihua: "Well, let's go to Yanhai to see Uncle Bai together."

The wind was light, the grass was turning green, and the white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone were covered with morning dew, shining slightly in the sun.

A man in police uniform stood straight in front of the tombstone.

"Master, the mission in Yaquan Village has been completed. We have destroyed the den and eliminated the remnants of the Yanhai drug trafficking network." His Adam's apple rolled violently, and his voice trembled in his chest, "But another brother in our detachment has been killed."

Xia Lingzhen took out a photo from his chest pocket, placed it in front of the tombstone, and picked up a stone from the side to press it down.

"This is the drug dealer who shot you that year. He died two years ago. I was not able to catch him myself. I feel a little regretful..."

The sound of birds singing in the distance made the cemetery even quieter.

"Bai Ling and Bai Yu are doing well now. They have been adopted by the Situ family. Your worries back then were not wrong..." His voice suddenly choked, "Bai Yu had a car accident some time ago and was in a coma in the hospital for a long time. He is still recovering. But don't worry, the Jian family will protect him in the future."

Xia Lingzhen's figure had just disappeared at the end of the cemetery path when Jian Shaoyang, pushing Bai Yu's wheelchair, and Wang Kangming, Fu Zihua and others came to the tombstone.

They saw white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone and photos pressed by stones.

Wang Kangming: "Someone just came here." He bent down and placed the white lily in his hand next to the white chrysanthemum.

Bai Yu's fingers unconsciously stroked the armrest of the wheelchair: "It should be my brother-in-law."

Fu Zihua squatted down and removed the stone from the photo. He picked it up and looked at it. He suddenly froze, "It's him."

The three of them turned to look at him at the same time.

"The one who nailed me into the box on the ship."

After Fu Zihua finished speaking, he put the photo back to its original place and picked up a few more stones to press on it.

At that moment, memories came flooding back like a tide - the raging fire in the cabin, the chaotic footsteps and sharp gunshots on the deck, and the fear and despair that penetrated my bones when I was locked in the box and drifting with the waves.

Fu Zihua stood up and patted the grass clippings on his knees. The sun shone on his slightly red eyes. "Let's come to Yanhai to see Uncle Bai every spring."

On the way to Baiyu's old house, several people squeezed into an alley.

Wang Kangming looked at the moss-covered walls around him and kept exclaiming, "Wow, this place can be fenced off and made into a tourist attraction like an ancient village."

Bai Yu was amused by him: "Are you exaggerating? How can it be so ancient?"

Walk to Bai Yu’s house.

After observing the two mottled wooden doors for a few seconds, Wang Kangming said, "I've seen doors like this in TV dramas from the Republic of China! The door knockers are all old-fashioned!"

Bai Yu: "Does it feel like traveling through time?"

Wang Kangming: "Did you put the Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong on the door?"

Bai Yu: "Yes, it's from last year."

Walking into the front yard, Wang Kangming looked back and forth at Jian Shaoyang and Fu Zihua: "Don't you think this courtyard layout is very novel?"

But they looked calm: "We have been here before."

Wang Kangming ran up to the attic and stood on the small balcony, looking at the sea and the lighthouse in the distance. The salty and wet sea breeze blew in his face. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Not bad! It feels a bit like a spring outing."

Jian Shaoyang, Wang Kangming and Fu Zihua were standing in the kitchen with their hands on their hips, staring at the dishes bought by the bodyguard and lost in thought.

The only person here who can cook is in a wheelchair.

Jian Shaoyang: "We should bring two maids with us."

Wang Kangming: "Just throw it in a pot and boil it with water and you can eat it."

Fu Zihua: "Can your bodyguard cook?"

Bai Yu took out his cell phone helplessly: "Hello, brother-in-law, I'm at home... Yes, Yan Hai... Um, those brothers of mine who are from wealthy families can't cook..."

Not long after, Xia Lingzhen appeared at the door with two large baskets of seafood in his hands.

Xia Lingzhen: "How did you know I was back?"

He returned to the cemetery where Yan Hai had gone first, and then returned home. As soon as he got home and changed out of his police uniform, he received a call from Bai Yu.

Bai Yu raised his head and smiled: "We just went to see Dad."

Xia Lingzhen looked at him carefully: "You look good, and you have recovered well."

"Everything is basically fine." Bai Yu pointed to the kitchen, "It's just these few who can't take care of themselves..."

When Wang Kangming and Fu Zihua saw Xia Lingzhen, they called out to Officer Xia.

Jian Shaoyang: "Brother-in-law."

Wang Kangming and Fu Zihua quickly changed their words, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law."

Xia Lingzhen: "One of you go to town and buy two cases of beer, and then we can drink together."

Fu Zihua: "I'll go, I'll go, I'm familiar with it."

Going to the town to buy beer sounded very novel. Wang Kangming raised his hand: "I'll go too, I'll go with you."

Xia Lingzhen: "There is an electric bike at the door, do you know how to ride it?"

Fu Zihua took Xia Lingzhen's eMule key and said, "Of course."

The two of them ran out happily, as excited as if they were going to accomplish some great mission.

In the evening, Wang Kangming, who was curious about the nightlife of the small town, took Fu Zihua and Xia Lingzhen out.

Jian Shaoyang sat on the balcony holding Bai Yu. The night breeze brought the scent of the sea, and the waves beat against the beach, making a soothing sound.

The lighthouse with red light flashing in the distance is still lonely.

Above my head is the long-lost sky full of stars.

"Shaoyang, do you know what the stars were called in ancient times?"

"Of course I know." Jian Shaoyang lowered his head and stared into the bright eyes of the man in his arms, and kissed him at the corner of the eye, "Bai Yu."
