When Chu Shici was five years old, a new neighbor moved in across from his house.

It was two young men with a little boy.

The boy is the same age as him, and his birthday is a few months older than him. According to his parents, the boy's name is Shen Lianzhe.

Chu Shici felt that the newly moved little brother was very good-looking.He ran to play with Shen Lianzhe every day, chasing him and calling him brother.

Shen Lianzhe seemed difficult to get along with and didn't like to talk.The other kids in the neighborhood didn't like him, saying he was weird.

But Chu Shici just liked to play with him.

Every time he hugged Shen Lianzhe, the little brother's originally fair face would instantly turn red.

In order to watch him change color, Chu Shici often sneaked over to hug him when he was not prepared.

He thinks the little brother is a chameleon.

----

It has been half a year since Shen Lianzhe and his two adoptive fathers moved into their new home.

He made a friend in this old community.

That man was a few months younger than him, named Chu Shici, who lived opposite him.

Every morning, Chu Shici ran to the door of his house and slammed on the door: "Brother! Brother, I'm here to play with you!"

The first time Shen Lianzhe made friends, he was at a loss.

Chu Shici is cute, lively and active, and can always come up with many interesting little games.When Shen Lianzhe was wronged, Chu Shici would help him find a place.

New friends are good everywhere, but sometimes Shen Lianzhe can't understand what he is doing.

For example, ambushing at a certain corner, poking around and waiting for him to come.Then she threw herself directly on top of him, staring expectantly at his face.

Or ask him suddenly if he can climb trees and walls, and if he can change into other colors.

Shen Lianzhe was at a loss.

When Chu Shici came to pinch his face again, he couldn't help asking, "Why?"

He is only five years old, and he speaks like an adult, and his voice is also childish.

The two adoptive fathers were laughing beside them, pointing at him while chatting in a low voice.

Shen Lianzhe vaguely heard the adoptive fathers whispering.

"Fuck, was Team Zhe so cute when he was young, wife, you said that when the world ends and Team Zhe recovers his memory, will he hit us?"

The other adoptive father took a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket, pulled one out and put it in his mouth.

"It was the two of them who chose to come to this world for vacation. They said they wanted to make up for the regrets of Ah Ci's childhood in the parallel world."

"But Team Zhe didn't say that we can be his father."

"I spent so much money to create a small world for him, what else is he dissatisfied with?"

"But I remember Team Zhe paid for it."

The man in the suit didn't reply.

He touched Shen Lianzhe's head, showing a strange smile, "Good boy, call me Dad."

Shen Lianzhe:?

He hesitated for a few seconds, then whispered, "Mr. Yi."

The man in the suit clicked his tongue and went out to smoke with a lighter.

When the other adoptive father also left, there were only two children left in the room.

Shen Lianzhe turned to look at the little brother beside him again, and asked him in a cold tone, "Why do you always stare at my face?"

Chu Shici looked at him enviously, "Your face will change color, and I want it too."

"What's changing color?"

"Just brush it once, and it suddenly turns red."

Seeing that the little brother still didn't understand, Chu Shici grabbed him and ran into the bathroom.The two of them huddled together on the bench, stepping on their feet and looking at the bathroom mirror.

Chu Shici motioned him to keep an eye on the mirror, then suddenly turned around and kissed him.

Shen Lianzhe seldom had intimate contact with people. He tensed up so nervously that he almost fell off the bench.

A good friend shouted excitedly, "Look, brother! Your face is turning red!"

Shen Lianzhe looked in the direction he pointed.

In the mirror, his cheeks were gradually covered with blush at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally his entire face was completely flushed.

Chu Shici propped his chin and looked at him with bright eyes, "You can be popular, but I can't. Brother, do you have superpowers, just like Spiderman? Are you Appleman?"

Shen Lianzhe hadn't figured out what was going on, when suddenly there were muffled laughter behind him.

He turned his head and saw that the door of the bathroom was opened a crack, and the two adoptive fathers were lying on the crack of the door, peeping, and frantically taking pictures with their cameras in their hands.

The two men finished filming them and started talking strange things again.

"When this world ends and these two people recover their memories, guess if they will find a crack in the ground and sneak in."

"Team Zhe will, he has a small face."

"Hehehe, Apple Man. I recorded them all, and I will give them a souvenir at that time! Speaking of which, I can understand that Team Zhe and A Ci shrink their bodies. After all, they want to experience childhood, but why do they still ask to temporarily seal the two people? memory?"

The man in the suit was strangely silent for a moment.

It took a while before he explained in a low voice: "They are in the honeymoon period, and they can't restrain their inner restlessness, so they can easily misfire."

"What's the matter, anyway, they are a couple."

"Team Zhe only accepts adults, not cubs. A Ci encountered a pedophile when he was a child. He has a psychological shadow, and there is also an age requirement in this regard."

The smoke floated into the bathroom with the wind. Seeing this, the man in the suit snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.

"There are memories of being in love. They are worried that after shrinking, they will still be unable to resist using the child's body to do intimate things, such as kissing, touching, etc. So let me seal the memory and let them be free from scratch develop, and untie it as an adult."

Shen Lianzhe didn't hear what the two said after that.

When the two adoptive fathers left, Chu Shici grabbed Shen Lianzhe and whispered in his ear: "Brother, your adoptive father is so strange."

Shen Lianzhe agreed, "They always say things that I don't understand."

"Do you think they are aliens? In the movies I watched, aliens like to wear black suits."

"...No, you're thinking too much."

----

Under the operation of the two adoptive fathers, Shen Lianzhe and Chu Shici are in the same class in the same school in kindergarten and elementary school.

Chu Shici's mind is very clever, and his grades are also excellent while learning and playing.He has a lot of tricks, a cheerful temper, and can play with anyone, and his classmates like him.

Compared with him, Shen Lianzhe, who was taciturn and lacked expression, became a marginal figure in the class.

As if seeing that he was lonely, Chu Shi resigned and took Shen Lianzhe with him everywhere.Introduced him to other friends, and patted his chest and said that he would cover him.

Writing a composition in the fifth grade of primary school, the title is "My Good Friend"

Shen Lianzhe wrote about Chu Shici and his daily life.

And what Chu Shici wrote was about him and his neighbor's pet cat.

Realizing that his status was inferior to that of a cat, Shen Lianzhe cried for a long time on the way home, and Chu Shici couldn't coax him well.

In order to make the little brother who grew up together happy, he rushed out an essay overnight to praise the friendship between the two of them.

With red eyes, Shen Lianzhe folded the composition and stuffed it into the small box he used to hold treasures.

His two adoptive fathers watched the whole process and laughed wildly beside him.

Shen Lianzhe ignored them.

He locked the box carefully and put it away.

In Shen Lianzhe's impression, his friend is always cheerful and optimistic, with a bright smile on his face.

Until one day, Chu Shici burst into tears in class.

When Shen Lianzhe asked, he found out that his mother was seriously ill and was hospitalized a few days ago.

Chu Shici was just an ordinary family and couldn't bear such a big financial pressure at all.His father is borrowing money everywhere, and he is afraid that if he fails to borrow money, his mother will die of illness.

After returning home, Shen Lianzhe smashed the piggy bank and gave him all his money.

"Thirty-five thousand."

"Brother, you are so rich."

"Mr. Yi gave me the New Year's money and pocket money. I can earn some money by doing housework for him."

Chu Shici imitated an adult and wrote an IOU by hand.

Shen Lianzhe didn't want it.

He hugged his friend and comforted him earnestly: "It's okay, it will get better. If it's not enough, I'll ask Mr. Yi tonight."

"Mr. Yi? Does he have money?"

"Well, I remember he had several companies."

Chu Shici: ...

Only then did he realize that his little friend who was always crying was secretly a rich second generation.

----

The death of his mother was probably the biggest regret in Chu Shici's life.

In order to change the plot, the two systems disguised themselves as human beings and paid for his mother's medical treatment.

In the end, she succeeded in pulling the woman back from the line of life and death by relying on her money ability, but she still needs to be hospitalized for long-term observation.

Owing so much money to the neighbors, the man got up early and worked hard to make money.

The family suffered great changes, his mother was hospitalized and his father left early and returned late. Chu Shici should have grown up overnight.

But when he was about to learn to live alone, the neighbor across the door took him into his home and let him live there temporarily.

Chu Shici had already finished elementary school, and at the age of twelve or thirteen, he also understood some things.

He felt that his family owed money, and he was embarrassed to eat and drink at the neighbor's house, and insisted on going home and not causing trouble to them.

Shen Lianzhe was so excited that he didn't sleep all night last night when he heard that he could bring his friend to live with him.

Today, his illusion was disillusioned, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he hid behind his adoptive father and wiped his tears.

Pushed twice by his adoptive father, Shen Lianzhe ran out to hug Chu Shici, sobbing softly in his ear, "But I want to live with you, I even prepared your bed and desk, aren't we good friends?"

He cried, and Chu Shici cried too.

After coaxing the young Zhe team and the young Aci into the bedroom, the two men disguised by the system leaned against the door to hold back their laughter.

After laughing enough, the system asked the boss in a low voice: [Ah Ci's money owed by his family, do you want more? 】

The boss was smoking a cigarette, [It depends on the situation and his father's performance. 】

[I think his dad looks okay, he's working hard. 】

[I don't know, let's look again. 】

After the two of them finished speaking, they heard a strange sound coming from inside the house.

The system opened the door a crack and squinted to look inside.

In the bedroom, two children are sworn brothers.

Maybe they wanted to imitate the Taoyuan trio. When they swore, they put a teddy bear beside them to make up the numbers. It was their third brother.

The system silently raised the camera to record the embarrassing moments of the host and Meng 1.

After the vows, Chu Shici imitated the name on TV and called Shen Lianzhe Brother Zhe.

But Shen Lianzhe refused to call him second brother, and insisted on calling him Aci.

Chu Shici suspected that Brother Zhe liked to watch Hong Kong movies recently.

----

After temporarily staying at Brother Zhe's house, Chu Shici's life is very nourishing.

The two adoptive fathers seem to like him very much, they always spend a lot of money and buy him a lot of delicious food, as if they are afraid that he will be hungry.

Once when Chu Shici passed by the master bedroom, he saw his carefree adoptive father crying, while Mr. Yi, who liked to smoke, coaxed him.

Chu Shici didn't want to eavesdrop, but their voices were really loud.

"When I was working with Ah Ci in Punishment World before, he told me that he couldn't eat in junior high school, and he always went to the trash, starving to the bone. Fuck, I feel so fucking heartbroken."

The man in the suit hummed: "It's okay, he won't be hungry."

"But now that he eats so well, he probably won't like fried noodles as much in the future."

Chu Shici blinked blankly.

At night, he climbed into Brother Zhe's bed, huddled with him, and told Brother Zhe the conversation he overheard.

At the end, he also sighed, "I don't know who that A Ci they are talking about is so hungry, so pitiful."

Chu Shici didn't know why, but when he said this, he felt inexplicably panicked.

Shen Lianzhe's expression was not very good either.

He hugged Chu Shici, patted him on the back and swore, "A Ci, I won't let you go hungry."

Chu Shici nodded, and silently retracted into Brother Zhe's arms.

He felt very happy, much happier than the person with the same name.

----

Chu Shici went to school during the day, and took a lunch box to the hospital to take care of his mother after school.When Mr. Yi got off work in the evening, he drove him and Shen Lianzhe home.

His father left early and returned late, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

In the first few months, his father would visit his mother in the hospital, buy some gifts and send them to neighbors, and talk with Chu Shici.

But during this period of time, men rarely came to see Chu and resigned.

He doesn't know what his father is doing, he only knows that he is making money outside.

One Friday, school dismissed early, and Chu Shici and Shen Lianzhe went home at noon.

On the way home, they saw his father holding another woman's hand, and the two were talking and laughing as they walked into another community.

Chu Shici pulled Shen Lianzhe to follow, but saw his father kissing another woman at the corner.It's not enough to just kiss, but also to touch.

He realized that his father seemed to be cheating.

Chu Shici was very angry, and rushed over to explain to the woman: "This is my dad, and he has a wife. Go away, don't be with him."

The woman took out 100 yuan from her pocket and touched his head: "Good boy, I will be your mother from now on, call me mother."

Chu Shici collected the money, pointed at her nose and scolded, "You idiot."

After scolding the woman, he punched and kicked the man again, "Trash scum! Betrayed my mother, you are fucking shameless!"

Shouting embarrasses the man.

He grabbed Chu Shici and wanted to slap him twice.

Seeing this, Shen Lianzhe hit him with his schoolbag with a cold face.

The three of them started fighting, but Chu Shici was so angry that he had never fought before.Shen Lianzhe lowered his head and looked for bricks on the ground.

The adoptive father arrived soon, took the two children into the car and sent them home, and they stayed here to deal with them.

When Chu Shici was stuffed into the car, he was still scratching his neck and cursing: "You two bitches! My mother is still lying in the hospital, and you just treat her like this!"

How much you scolded on the road, how much you cried when you came home.

Shen Lianzhe wiped Chu Shici's tears and hugged him in his arms to comfort him.

Ah Ci's father cheating is not a good person, and I will never become a man like him in the future.

He will be loyal to his lover, and will not find another new love just because the other party is in a trough.

----

After the man cheated, the boss completely lost his face.

Originally, it looked at Chu Shici's face and didn't want the man to pay back all the money. Now not only does it have to pay back the money, it also asks for interest in a devious way.

Chu Shici never went home again, and stayed at Brother Zhe's house all the time.

His father is unreliable, he might run away with another woman one day, he wants to earn money to support his mother.

Chu Shici asked Mr. Yi if he had any work that a person of his age could do.

Mr. Yi said that he employed child labor wherever he went, but not at home.

Chu Shici earned a little money from his two adoptive fathers by doing housework.

Brother Zhe also taught him a few ways to make money, such as writing homework for classmates and copying for others.

They partnered to buy a piggy bank and put all their money in it.

Chu Shici touched the little pig, looked at the money inside, and suddenly felt that Brother Zhe's family was really kind to him.

Recently, the two adoptive fathers seem to have something on their minds, and they are strictly forbidden to go out at night or go to the park.

The adoptive father, who was even more eccentric, even dragged Chu Shici to ask him to keep close to Shen Lianzhe in commuting to and from school, and not to run around alone.

Chu Shici didn't understand what he meant, but nodded in response.

One day after school, Shen Lianzhe stayed in the class on duty, and Chu Shi quit the small shop outside the school to buy ice cream.

On his way back to school with his bags, he was blocked by two men.

They gathered around him and asked him if he wanted to play pool together.

Thinking of what his adoptive father said, Chu Shici shook his head.He turned to run, but was grabbed by someone.

Those two people dragged him to the small alley, Chu Shici threw ice cream on their faces, and wanted to go back to school to find Brother Zhe.

Shen Lianzhe, who was supposed to be cleaning up in the class, ran out at some point.

He held his phone in one hand and a broom in the other.Seeing Chu Shici being chased by someone, he took a broom and chased him away.

The two men seemed to be about to do something shady. They looked at the security guard at the gate, then at the two students hiding in the school gate, and finally fled with their necks shrunk.

Shen Lianzhe took pictures of their faces and complained to his adoptive father.

Putting down the phone, Shen Lianzhe turned around, only to see Chu Shici standing there in a daze.

He asked worriedly, "Uncomfortable?"

Chu Shici shook his head, rushed over and hugged him, "No, I'm just so happy suddenly, it seems that something annoying has disappeared from my life!"

The corners of Shen Lianzhe's mouth could not be restrained from rising slightly.

For some reason, at this moment, he also felt inexplicably happy.

It was as if he hadn't come late at last, successfully protected a very important person, and made up for the regret in his heart.
