delicate flowers and weeds

Tang Hua had been kneeling in the clan ancestral hall for two days. During this period, he hadn't touched a drop of water, his lips were chapped, and a small bite would turn into a small piece of skin.

His legs were already numb, and the old-fashioned ancestral hall had very little light, and he felt a little time-disordered.

Can't remember how long it's been.

His head is stiff now, his temples are throbbing, at first his delicate stomach will feel a burning sensation, and he protests, and then he twitches, and now it is completely cold.

There was a messy voice in my ear, through the crack of the door, I couldn't hear it clearly.

It may be that there is trouble downstairs again, Tang Hua thought to himself, but he has no energy to take care of these. He has some symptoms of tinnitus and dizziness, which is a warning that his body is before the limit state.

Where did the young master of the Tang family, who is so pampered and beloved, have suffered so much?He didn't pass out but persisted until now, his perseverance is amazing.

Tang Hua couldn't bow his head that day.

He remembered what he said to Tang Mu: "If Dad really did this, it would not ruin Fei Cao, but me. Because I will remember him for the rest of my life. If you cut off Fei Cao's future, I will also That's all for now."

He still remembered Tang Mu's shocked and heartbroken eyes after saying these words.

and then?

He can't remember.

His thinking was chaotic, and it took a little effort for his pupils to even focus on one place. Tang Hua felt that he was about to lose control of his body. He stretched his eyelids, and managed to see a few log pillars from a blank space. Jue realized that he was still kneeling in the ancestral hall.

Oh, right.

Father Tang came back later.

There was a small meeting at home, and Tang Hua knelt in the ancestral hall for a long time, and never got up again.During this period, Mother Tang cried, Tang Xing made trouble, and even a few servants seemed to beg for mercy, but the door of the ancestral hall was never opened.

The sound of crying and crying spread from the air, came to the second floor, passed through the solid doors and windows, and reached Tang Hua's ears through the gap.

Time flies both fast and slow.

Tang Hua thought to herself, if I persist a little longer, maybe if I persist a little longer, they will agree?If I missed the opportunity to be with Fei Cao because I didn't hold back today, then when I think about it later, I will definitely not forgive myself now.

When the window was opened and the white light came in, it was dazzling for a moment, Tang Hua shook his body, supported himself with his hands before barely falling, he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes with difficulty.

After a long delay, he saw the silhouette of the person coming through his fingers.

It's his brother.

For a moment, he felt that he might be dreaming. Tang Jing was a "child of someone else" in the second-generation circle. He studied etiquette with his grandfather since he was a child, and was brought up by Tang's father. He has the dual temperament of a western-style elite and a traditional young master.

His brother was already carrying awards home when others were still running noses; while others were obsessed with love, his brother had already started running several companies.

Speaking of which, he is the most decent child in the entire Tang family.

Tang Hua had never seen her brother in disheveled clothes, let alone came in through the window this time.

When Tang Jing was originally full of anger when she saw her younger brother, she couldn't express it.

The person in front of him had chapped lips and a sickly pale complexion.He was already thin, but after kneeling for two days without eating, drinking or closing his eyes, he looked even thinner now.

The wrists exposed under the shirt were astonishingly thin, Tang Jing only looked at it, and the circles of her eyes almost turned red.

He looked away, not knowing whether to be angry or distressed. After a long time, his hands trembled, and he touched his younger brother's head: "Is it worth it for you to do this for him? Little Huaer."

Tang Hua nodded slowly.

Tang Jing felt even more distressed.

He took a bottle of water from the bag in his arms, his hands shook twice when he unscrewed it, the bottle cap fell to the ground, he quickly picked it up, wiped it and put it aside, then took out a small cup, poured a little, In this position, I fed my younger brother two drinks.

Have you ever seen the appearance of sudden rain on the dry and cracked wasteland?

The cracked earth greedily absorbs water, and the water seeps down quickly, and the land returns to its dry and cracked appearance.It has been too long without water, and the land has lost its ability to retain water.

Tang Jing looked at his younger brother, and for a moment thought of the North African wilderness where he had been on a business trip, a large piece of dry and cracked land. For some reason, he suddenly connected the two together, and his heart seemed to be scratched hard, very sore.

His voice was a little hoarse: "Xing Xing had a quarrel with Dad, and was locked in the room and was not allowed to come out. She...she cried a lot, and so did Mom. She drove Dad to sleep on the sofa, and didn't let him in."

Tanghua's body absorbed the water, and Tang Hua was a little energetic, but it also made his cold and unfeeling stomach burn again, and he was in severe pain from the burning. He curled up and put his hand on his stomach, only then realized that He still has a stomach!It hurts when you're hungry!

He said, "Why bother?"

Tang Hua didn't feel that he was wrong, he knew his heart, he liked Fei Cao, and there was no right or wrong in liking someone.What's more, Fei Cao saved him back then, and he forgot about him for so many years.Now that he has lost it, he will never let it go.

But comparing his heart with his heart, he can also understand his parents. He knows that the Tang family loves him, and he knows that he is doing something to stab their hearts.

So he can only kneel.

Tang Jing put down the water glass, turned to look at her younger brother, and asked softly, "Little Hua'er, do you really want him?"

"Well. Brother, you don't know, I really like him, seriously."

It took a lot of effort for him to speak, his lips were dry and sticky, and he managed to finish a coherent sentence.

Tang Hua continued, it seemed that only when Fei Cao was mentioned could his dull eyes light up.

"He saved me, but I forgot about him for so many years. They all said he was not good, but he was very good to me. Brother, I think I will never meet such a person again."

"A person who is happy just thinking about it."

"Brother, let me give it a try, okay? Even if I find out that I was wrong later, I will never regret it. Dad always said that there is a [-]% risk that I can't let me try, but I'm already an adult , I’m going to have my birthday soon, and I can take it all.”

Tang Hua was really tired, so Tang Jing knelt down on the cushion next to him and hugged him on her shoulders.He listened carefully to his younger brother's truth, heaved a long sigh, and keenly sensed that something was wrong: "I saved you?"

"Yeah, he saved me." Tang Hua closed his eyes and took a rest: "Brother, I couldn't live without him when I was eight years old. He is really a very good person..."

Tang Jing rubbed the center of his brows, the serious words he wanted to say turned around in his throat and still didn't come out, he was reluctant.How can you be willing?This is his younger brother who he watched grow up, and seeing him hurt a little bit is even more uncomfortable than his own hurting a lot.

His heart swelled so much that he finally only said: "Let's not talk about this, little flower, you need to rest, I will take you away."

He covered his younger brother's eyes with his palm, and he could feel the trembling of the eyeballs from the palm of his hand, which is the amplitude of a person who is extremely tired. He softened his voice: "You are tired, Dad needs to calm down, I will send you Go to my villa outside to rest for a while, and I will bring you back when the time comes."

Before waiting for an answer, Tang Jing turned to look sideways, only to find that her younger brother had fallen asleep on his shoulder, his eyes were turning blue, and he was frighteningly white, so the blue was particularly obvious.

Tang Jing raised her hand and touched the marks under his eyes lightly, before she spoke for a long time: "I really don't know whether I should promise you, Hua'er. My brother wishes you to be happy, but you are not happy now."

He stood up and took off his coat and put it on Tang Hua's body. He moved gently, then hugged his younger brother in his arms, and left here resolutely.

When Tang Jing returned to Tang's house, Tang's father was sitting in the main hall with his hands behind his back, his face was serious, the lights were bright, but only the father and son were in the quiet space.

"You sent him away? You are so brave, Tang Jing! It has only been a long time since you took over the Tang family, and the wings are stiff. I'm afraid you have forgotten who is in charge of this family, right?"

Tang Jing knelt on the floor with both knees.

"Dad, eight years ago, it was the same night. You called me to the study to discuss the matter of the stars. At that time, I thought you were right. She is my own sister. I want to protect her. Let her stay away from those people with despicable family backgrounds, which is also for her own good. That night I planned to cheat Xu Duanhong away, and I personally arranged everything about Xing Xing's going abroad. I think, although she will blame me, she will always One day she will forget that person, and she will get better and better under my protection."

Father Tang's expression froze for a moment: "So you're blaming me?"

Tang Jing shook her head: "Dad, I never thought about it that way, I just regret it. I thought that everything I did was for their benefit, but what happened to Xing Xing made me realize that's not the case. Dad, Xing Xing is not happy. , this fact made me doubt myself for a while. After taking over the Tang family from you, I knelt in the ancestral hall and told you that I will lead the Tang family to become better and better, and I will protect my younger siblings. You were very happy at that time , patted my shoulder, and you said that the stars and little flowers will be handed over to you in the future."

"I saw Xiao Hua'er in the ancestral hall tonight, and I couldn't believe it was my younger brother. Did you know? In less than three days, I felt that he was about to lose ten catties. Every bit of weight was towards me. Heartache, Dad." Tang Jing paused, then continued, "I said I would protect him, I always thought I could protect him, but I made him suffer so much..."

"Bullshit!"

Father Tang slapped the table heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Just because of this, you took him out? Your heart softened? Are you going to let him continue to be with the murderer's son?"

Tang Jing raised her head: "If you had asked me that eight years ago, I would have told you categorically that I would never do so. I would try my best to stop them, even if it meant hurting another person, even Xiaohua My son would hate me for it. But now that you ask me that, Dad, I don't dare to say it."

"To be honest, Dad, the moment I picked up Xiao Hua'er, I even felt that if he begged me again, I would grant him. Dad, in the final analysis, the reason why you objected was because the child named Fei Cao Family, but what is there to worry about? After all, there is me and the Tang family who can protect Xiao Huaer and help him control the danger. Is it just because he fell in love that he is about to leave the Tang family? Isn't it my brother?"

"Thinking about this, I thought, if this is what Xiao Hua'er wants, why can't we fulfill him? He is my Tang Jing's younger brother, and he has the right to live as he pleases and choose what he likes."
