Lock and secure

He was 21 years old when he graduated from his senior year. His parents had an accident when he was in his junior year, leaving behind a one-year-old brother.

Shortly after the incident, Luo Yao's girlfriend of three years cheated on him in his house, and Luo Yao was diagnosed shortly thereafter.

After suffering from depression, Luo Yao has been receiving treatment with the company of his younger brother and little Tuanzi. He has been trying to live according to the doctor's advice and has been to many places.

I've learned to bake cakes and desserts, helped out at a flower shop, learned to cook from food bloggers at home, discovered music, tried my hand at making small things, and occasionally took on some interesting designs as a design consultant for small companies...

Luo Yao does everything that can heal him and make him feel at peace, in order to be happy and for his brother.

After three years of persistence, a man appeared.

It was an accidental kindness. Luo Yao was too kind, too simple and too lacking in love, so he thought he had met true love. He didn't even realize that within two or three months, his sexual orientation had changed, even though he liked girls before.

I fell in love and couldn't extricate myself, and then there was darkness for nearly half a year.

Being homosexual is still not accepted by others. With the confusion of his friends and the disappointment of his grandfather, Luo Yao breaks through everything and bravely pursues love.

Even when his grandfather was seriously ill, he went to the man's city. Although he tried his best to come back, fate played a trick on him and he was stuck on the highway.

After not being able to see her loved one for the last time, Luo Yao gradually calmed down and discovered the man's many subtle character flaws.

Luo Yao quietly put away his like.

After the man discovered her thoughts, his character was exposed: paranoid, selfish, controlling, and even abusive.

In the last month of his life, the man imprisoned Luo Yao, forbidding him from leaving the house, confiscating his cell phone, and confining him to a small, windowless room. He remained in captivity for over two weeks, and when he was released, his mental state was extremely poor, with signs of violent tendencies.

Resisting any contact from everyone, including his younger brother.

The man tied Luo Yao to the bed and tortured him every night. Because Luo Yao reacted violently, the man could do nothing.

At first, she whispered sweet words of love to Luo Yao, but later when she got angry, she beat Luo Yao with a belt and punched and kicked him.

One day the man came home drunk and took off his belt as soon as he entered the house.

No matter how Luo Yao resisted, he was raped brutally.

The younger brother squatted in the corner and watched the man raping his brother, crying heart-wrenchingly. The man did it twice in a hurry and then fell asleep.

In the darkness, Luo Yao cried until his tears dried up, and the pain all over his body made him calm down after a long time.

He groped his way out of bed in the dark, and groped his way towards the direction where his brother was sobbing. Holding his brother's hand, he endured the severe pain and left the man's villa.

Two people, one big and one small, were walking on the empty lakeside road at two o'clock in the morning. The wild wind from the lake blew Luo Yao's shoulder-length hair into the air.

Luo Yao was wearing a loose and dirty white T-shirt with the collar torn by a man and a pair of ripped and wrinkled jeans.

Little Luo Xinchen held his brother's hand tightly and walked forward, his small body taking big strides ahead.

Luo Yao stared ahead, but his thoughts were elsewhere. The streetlights glowed white, and in his mind, the white light gradually expanded into a vast, empty space, as empty as a polar snowfield. Luo Yao could not see the road...

"Is Chenchen cold?"

Luo Yao looked ahead and asked his brother softly.

Luo Xinchen stopped, looked up at his brother and shook his head.

The two continued walking and entered the deserted city.

At the corner of the street, a huge commercial billboard was playing an advertisement for a new high-end dress from a company called YongAnLE.

Luo Yao stopped and finished watching the advertisement.

"Brother?" Luo Xinchen shook his brother's hand.

Luo Yao knelt on one knee, tidied up his brother's clothes, and pulled the hood of his hoodie to help his brother put it on.

"Chenchen, do you want to play games with your brother?" Luo Xinchen asked while holding Luo Xinchen's little face.

"Brother, are you in a good mood today?"

Luo Xinchen did not answer Luo Yao's question and asked seriously.

Luo Yao felt tears about to well up in his eyes, and he blinked.

"Brother is doing well today!"

Brother is lying, Luo Xinchen lowered his head.

Luo Yao talked about the rules of the game.

"The rules of today's game are very simple. Chenchen, do you see the two blue houses?" Luo Yao pointed in the direction of the police station.

Luo Xinchen looked in the direction his brother pointed. He knew very few words. Of the five words "Hujing Police Station", he only knew the word "Hu" in "Da Hu", and he didn't know any English.

Luo Xinchen looked at his brother in confusion.

"Chenchen, go there now and sit on the small chair at the door and wait for your brother. Your brother has something to do, and he will come to pick Chenchen up when he is done."

Luo Xinchen looked at his brother in confusion. He didn't want to play this game.

Luo Yao looked at him without giving in, and the two men were in a stalemate for a while.

"Is it a game like the one in the flower shop?" Luo Xinchen asked with his head down.

"It's like in the flower shop. Sit on a chair and wait for your brother. But this time, Chenchen can't talk to any strangers except the brother and sister in black clothes in the blue house. Can you do that?"

Luo Xinchen nodded.

"So awesome!" Luo Yao pinched Luo Xinchen's little face, pulled his brother into his arms, hugged him tightly, and tears flowed from his eyes.

The early morning breeze whistled by, and the bustling streets were deserted. There was not a single star in the black sky, and the moon was nowhere to be found, with only the dim glow of the streetlights.

After his tears dried up in the wind, Luo Yao let go of his brother.

"Go!" Luo Yao gently touched his brother's head.

Luo Xinchen looked at his brother seriously. He wanted to know whether his brother was happy today.

Luo Yao smiled.

Luo Xinchen walked away, looking back every step of the way, afraid that his brother would disappear if he wasn't paying attention.

Luo Yao stood up and watched Xiaotuanzi cross the zebra crossing by himself, then walked into the police station and climbed onto the chair at the door with his short legs.

The wind started to blow, a bit strong, and the young man who had been standing on the street disappeared into the night sky...

The street in the opposite direction of the way we came was deserted and the wind was very strong. The young man's loose white short-sleeved shirt was blown in by the cold wind and leaked out, and was twisted into various shapes by the wind, like a torn plastic bag.

Luo Yao thought of that dark river...

After his time traveling, his depression symptoms disappeared in some ways.

"hiss"

"Brother?" Luo Xinchen saw his brother in a daze, and he had pricked his hand, so he stretched out his short little hand to give his brother a blow.

Luo Yao was afraid that he would fall off the bed, so he quickly grabbed his little arm.

"Don't move around. If you fall off the bed, you'll become a little fool. Chenchen, do you want to become a little fool?"

Luo Xinchen blinked his eyes and didn't dare to move. He couldn't become a little fool. A little fool couldn't be a general and couldn't protect his brother!

Luo Yao closed the stitches and lifted up the dress, feeling very satisfied and full of design sense.

"Brother makes beautiful clothes!"

Everything my brother makes looks great!

"Little guy, what's so good about it, huh?"

Luo Xinchen, a child under four years old, hadn't formed his own aesthetic taste at all. Luo Yao didn't believe the little dumpling's flattery.

Sure enough, Luo Xinchen looked at the clothes in confusion, unable to tell what was good about them.

Luo Yao was amused by his brother's conflicted expression.

“Come and give it a try!”

Luo Xinchen opened her little hands and let her brother put on his clothes.

The Luo family has strong genes, and his grandfather is very heroic. The parents in his memory also have faces from the 21st century and are very handsome. Luo Yao's face is a mixture of his parents' genes and is softer. Luo Xinchen inherited his father's genes completely. The heroic spirit in the Luo family genes can be faintly revealed from the chubby little ball. At first glance, he is a material for being a general.

Once she put on the clothes with a slightly stand-up collar, the red outer and black inner collar made her short white neck look longer and whiter.

"Chenchen is so handsome. He will definitely be pursued by many girls when he grows up!"

"Chenchen is a man, he's not good-looking!" Luo Xinchen retorted

"Yes! Chenchen is handsome!"

Luo Yao originally wanted to make a similar piece for himself, but it was already very late when he finished making his brother's clothes. There were no lights in ancient times, so Luo Yao gave up after feeling a little dizzy.

Thinking of the clothes drying outside, Luo Yao decided to go see if the clothes he had hung on the osmanthus tree branches had dried. He opened the door, and a gust of cool wind rushed into the room. Luo Yao quickly closed the door. With such a strong wind, the silk clothes would definitely be dry by tomorrow.

Luo Yao was confident and gathered up the scraps of fabric left over from sewing clothes. The two brothers lay side by side on the bed.

"Brother, can I really see grandpa tomorrow?" Luo Xinchen was too sleepy to open his eyes.

"Of course. Go to sleep. You can go home early tomorrow morning."

"Good night, brother." Luo Xinchen drowsily imitated his brother to say good night.

"Good night."
