Lu Shijun's roommate is a banana who speaks Chinese very well. He moved out in the name of an independent portal, and entered Landscape with him on the recommendation of his parents.Lu Shijun likes to call his Chinese name "Xiao Zai" because the pronunciation is very similar to "boy eh". When facing an empty room or someone who used to suffer from a second illness, the sound of shabu-shabu cooking downstairs is drowned out, even the TV The stalks on the screen that can really hit the backs of Americans have gradually become tasteless chewing gum.

Seeing that his friend was about to die suddenly in front of the computer screen, Xiao Zai persuaded him: "Sinjon, I have booked a pub tonight, there are several beautiful models, do you want to come and have fun?"

Lu Shijun rubbed his sore neck, and glanced at the other side by the way: "Well, no need."

"Don't be so vegetarian, you have to go out occasionally to relax your body. If you don't want to make friends with girls, that's fine."

Lu Shijun: "Oh, I don't seem to have told you that I like men."

Xiao Zai's eyes were so wide that the lines on his forehead appeared: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?"

Lu Shijun buried her head in rushing to work: "I don't like you, do you know what it means?"

"What does it matter... We live together in this house, ah, we have lived together for so long. No, I mean, I treat you as a brother, and I actively promote beautiful women to you, and you are telling me now your sexual orientation?"

Lu Shijun smiled and said: "Probably because, if you tell a man that you are gay, it is equivalent to confessing to him."

"Whaaaaaat, what kind of nonsense is this?"

"A man told me."

Xiao Zai rolled his eyes: "Then he must not be a serious person."

Lu Shijun paused with her fingers, raised her head and smiled and said, "I think, compared to you who yell 'suckmyd*ck' all day long, you are quite upright."

The moment Xiao Zai took the door to the room, Lu Shijun's tense consciousness suddenly relaxed, and his tiredness squeezed himself into a small ball in his skin. He never thought that one day he would speak out to rectify Gao Shuli's name, even if It's an unintentional joke.The emotion of companionship that he had always thought of, began to thaw and recover in the stream of being alone, and grew stronger with a new look, flowing in his life.When drinking beer, I will think of him, and I will think of him with gossip stories; His pupils were full of sunshine.At first he thought it was a hopeless habit, but one day when he saw fallen leaves swirling in front of his eyes, he was frozen and burst into tears. Only then did he realize that what had been tormenting him was not loneliness and emptiness, but just that person.From the moment he booked the plane ticket to seeing that person by chance later on, it took him more than three years to fall in love with a person, instead of spending three years to forget the heartbroken one like the other person.

"After the earthquake, I went to the United States. I returned to China last year. I met him in Jize a while ago." Lu Shijun briefly recounted the process of their acquaintance and their experience in Gaojing. As for the inhumane details, he So-so skipped.

Mother Zhong put on her gloves again: "It seems like a very long story." Then she bent down to wash the dishes, and said, "Shijun, when you lived together, did you cook the food?"

Lu Shijun was inexplicably nervous: "I usually buy breakfast downstairs, and when I go home at night, if I don't go to the restaurant, it's basically me who cooks, and he sometimes helps."

"Where's the bowl? I remember his housework is okay."

"Dishwashing is usually done by two people in turn. However, there is also a habit of reneging on debts."

"What about the hygiene at home? Are you also in charge of it in rotation?"

In the past, cleaning was usually his last choice to divert his attention from being tortured by the brief. After returning to China, he still didn’t like cleaning by hand. Instead, he hired part-time workers regularly. Since Zhong Shuli moved in, the house seemed to be clean all the time.He said with a guilty conscience: "Shu Li should clean the sanitation when I'm not around. I don't pay much attention to this matter."

Mother Zhong nodded: "Very good. So what kind of person is your father Lingtang?"

"It's just a lackluster ordinary person." Lu Shijun took a deep breath, with a dull pain in his chest, "They all work in the insurance company. My dad likes to play mahjong the most, but they only get together at the table during the holidays. My mother likes to listen to But I can’t sing well myself, so I usually just hum in the kitchen. They once agreed to travel around after retirement, making up for all the regrets of their youth.”

"It's really enviable." Zhong Yu said with a smile, seeing the past future from other people's stories, it seemed that it had reached the prologue according to the established script.

The next day, Zhong Yu led the two of them to meet with his netizen. He was an Englishman who looked decent, but when he heard the other party say that he would live in China for the first half of the year because of a job transfer, Zhong Shuli still frowned. I couldn't help wrinkling.After inquiring and confirming Edward's identity information, and following up for another day, Zhong Shuli reluctantly believed that the other party was not a scheming international fraudster or a swindling old widower, and Fang and Lu Shijun went back.

When September came, Zhong Shuli's printing shop transfer contract came into effect, and the contracts with various training institutions were also successfully terminated, so he became a freelancer of the Paravina project wholeheartedly.One day, the new owner of the printing shop called and said that he had left some things in the shop and asked him to go back and pick them up.

When Zhong Shuli came to the store, the new boss gave him an apologetic smile: "Boss Zhong, I'm sorry, you haven't left anything behind. It's just that a child begged me to call you back to school, so I lied. Well, there he is."

He saw Cheng Sicheng sitting in a corner, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you just tell me if you want to find me? Let's go out and talk."

Cheng Sicheng walked behind him, suddenly quickened his pace, stood still in front of him and said: "Boss, I spent a summer vacation thinking about what you said, and now I understand it."

Zhong Shuli frowned and thought: "Well, what did I say?"

The other party showed a little disappointment, bit his lip, and said, "Tell me that fulfillment is the responsibility of a person's life."

Zhong Shuli was scratching his head to recall the reason and the situation when he said this, Cheng Sichengzhu said in a low voice: "Boss, I heard from Mu Ming that you are his real brother, right?"

When Zhong Shuli heard the word "Mu Ming", the first thing that came to mind was the way he opened his teeth and claws at the door of the printing shop and shouted at himself, "Gao Shuli, I hate you", nodded slightly and said: "Don't dare to be, don't be, Zhong has only a little blood relationship with him."

Seeing this, Cheng Sicheng quickly added: "He has known you since he was a child. He met you when he was very young. Later, his mother kept mentioning in front of him that he has an elder brother who is nine years older than him, and this only son of the Gao family has everything. Well, his mother always compares him with him in terms of food, clothing and education, so he has a problem with you when he urinates."

Zhong Shuli stopped in his tracks: "Gao Muming told you these things?"

"One night he drank too much, and he told me everything I could think of and couldn't imagine."

Zhong Shuli felt that this was probably a growth script that was shrouded in the shadow of other people's children all day long. He had the impression that similar advertising copy was about tutoring machines.

Cheng Sicheng continued: "He said he wanted to hate you very much, but he couldn't, so he had to hate you, especially when he found that he couldn't catch up with you no matter what he did—you just went abroad to study in middle school, But he tried his best and even gave gifts to get into the key city; you went to England with good college entrance examination results, but when he came to Jize, only his mother came to see him off. So when he knew that you had contact with Lu Sizhe, he felt that You stole her."

Zhong Shuli was a little helpless. At the beginning, he went to study in the UK because his father offended a business rival involved in the underworld, so he was sent abroad to avoid disaster; One is vicious, and he chose to return to England in a fit of anger.He acknowledged the existence of class differentiation, and he did enjoy the benefits of being born well, but he never thought that his life would be closely watched by another pair of eyes, which would become an ironclad evidence of the so-called occupation of other people's lives.He said, "So, Cheng Sicheng, what do you want to explain?"

The other party looked at him directly: "Mu Ming, he doesn't hate you, he needs you."

He heard the words and smiled: "It seems that you care about him very much." People who have not met for 20 years need themselves, so how many people in this world who they don't know hate themselves?

Cheng Sicheng said: "You said that you want to fulfill, so I want to fulfill his real thoughts and wishes. Since the beginning of school, he has not eaten or drank for several days, and he has been in the dormitory without listening to anyone's persuasion. Go and see Him."

Zhong Shuli said helplessly: "He is not a child. Even if the child is hungry and thirsty, he will eat naturally. Besides, there will be no major problems if his roommates are watching. So what if I go, he is not persuaded by anyone. Don't you listen?"

Cheng Sicheng lowered his head: "He is your own brother, don't you care about brotherhood?"

"Does blood relationship mean inevitable family affection? If he grew up beside me in the past 20 years, or at least, had contact with me for a period of time, Jiajia's relatives may turn into a slightly stronger bond. Now that each of us can live in peace, why bother to care about each other."

Cheng Sicheng couldn't find any words to refute for a while, his heart tightened and he remembered Gao Muming's haggard description that night. He counted his mother's faults, and even used dirty words that he had ignored for many years on the other party, cursing and crying: "Sicheng, if your mother destroys other people's marriages, gives birth to you without your consent, quarrels with the neighbors all day long, is greedy for petty gain, loves to evade fares, beats, scolds and punishes you as she pleases, and she puts up hard work to raise you, while you grow up fearfully. , will you still love her?"

"Yes." He added what he hadn't answered in a daze last time, and Zhong Shuli gave him a puzzled look because his donkey's lips didn't match his horse's mouth.

He took the opportunity to grab Zhong Shuli's arm, and said solemnly: "I beg you to go and see him, no matter how much he hates his mother, he loves her, and the same goes for you."
