no longer ordinary friends

"You just said, let's forget about my relationship with her..." Jiang Xianghuai pushed his chin with the tip of his tongue, and then retracted it. His cheekbones hurt a little, but he still had a smile on his face.

"What?" Zhou Bingcheng didn't understand.

"Why don't you keep beating me." Jiang Xianghuai said, "If you don't want to be my brother, then I'll call you like Chengcheng, brother."

Hearing this title, Zhou Bingcheng's anger piled up layer upon layer, his eyes darkened, and he punched Jiang Xianghuai's abdomen all the time. I couldn't stand up straight.

Zhou Bingcheng tugged at his collar: "Did you treat me as a brother and Chengcheng as a sister? Do you know how sad she was at that time, and she told me at that time that she would stay in Beicheng in the future, first gap She worked for a year, and then she wanted to study an LLM before coming back, and the family prepared money for her, but not long after, she said that she would go back to work in Nanri and would not go to study abroad."

"It's the first time I've seen her so sad. My grandpa is sick and lost in love. Our family is not considered rich, but we have taken good care of her since we were young. She hasn't suffered much. She can go to the North City to fight hard. You can also stay in Nanri Anyi, and break up in love, which is natural, but she asked me once after drinking, if all love must be in the same family, and I knew that the other party disliked her from a small town."

He couldn't help but get angry: "The person who hates the poor and loves the rich is actually you. I'm fucking mistaken. I shouldn't have brought you home. I killed Chengcheng. It's better that you are older than her." How old are you, you walk in front of her, is it fun for you to bully her as a child with your experience based on your age and status? When you met, she was still a high school student. When you fell in love, she was just a college student. But you are an old fritter who has been in society for several years!"

As he spoke, he still punched Jiang Xianghuai on the corner of his mouth this time.

His teeth were knocked, and the bloody smell suddenly filled his mouth. Jiang Xianghuai still didn't hide, his teeth chattered in pain. He wanted to blame himself for these words. Even if he wanted to separate, he shouldn't have hurt her like that. .

Zhou Bingcheng pressed his elbow hard on his stomach again, and asked in a voice: "Did you not let Chengcheng tell me? Did you never admit your relationship outside? Did you let her leave Ming Dilu?" Place?"

His stomach was hit, and cold sweat broke out on Jiang Xianghuai's forehead. The pain seemed to be pierced by ice slag.

His stomach has only gotten better in the past few years. Before that, he ate irregularly, drank and smoked heavily, took medicine on an empty stomach, stayed up late and suffered from insomnia, which quickly dragged down his body. Fortunately, the worst result did not occur.

It was what Xia Mingning said that woke him up: "It can be seen that you broke up with Chengcheng because you love her. It turns out that you are going to get stomach cancer, and you don't want to drag her down, right? It's good, your life is messed up, but Zhou Zhicheng's life should be beautiful, born beautifully, studying smoothly, surrounded by love all his life, not loving you, a rotten person."

"Jiang Xianghuai, you don't want to have Jiang Xiangqing's shadow on your body, so you just resist. What do you mean by being submissive? You have been following the life blueprint they have planned for you. You are re-enacting Jiang Xiangqing's life step by step. You just Change your name to Jiang Xiangqing, the psychiatrist I introduced to you, you don’t need to go to follow-up visits anymore, just busy making so much bad money, your life is gone.”

"It's good, you and your parents can live a lifetime, don't harm Chengcheng."

The words are ugly, but the love is true.

Jiang Xianghuai couldn't answer Zhou Bingcheng's three questions. He never did it, but from another perspective, didn't he hurt her because he didn't do anything?

After Zhou Bingcheng finished venting, he let go of Jiang Xianghuai: "Stay away from Chengcheng!"

Jiang Xianghuai was in so much pain that he insisted: "I can't do it." Seeing Zhou Bingcheng's stare, he said again, "I can't do it even if I'm beaten to death."

He pressed his stomach heavily, and if it wasn't for his little cleanliness, he would have sat directly on the ridge at this moment, and he said: "You are Chengcheng's brother, you can't beat me too much, but I am serious about Chengcheng." , from beginning to end, and will never break her heart again."

Zhou Bingcheng was also tired from the fight, so he sat down on the side of the road casually: "Who can say it with your mouth? You should stay away from our house. Anyway, after your show is recorded, it's time to go back to your North City. Chengcheng won't be with you again." When you go back, don’t think that your Beicheng household registration is anything special. You are worthy of being a ‘Waishengzi’ and a ‘Beizi’ here. No one wants to marry their daughters out or far away. You and He Jinyu They are all ex-boyfriends, I will definitely vote for He Jinyu."

"I won't go back." Jiang Xianghuai said calmly, "I will settle down in Nanri."

Zhou Bingcheng only thought he was talking nonsense, his career was shining brightly in Beicheng, why did he come to Nanri?

"No, don't do this if you are all men. Even if you really give up everything in Beicheng, have you ever thought about how much psychological burden you have caused her? It seems that you sacrificed for her. You will not I love you, do you still want to blame her for hurting you?"

Zhou Bingcheng is regretting and blaming himself now.

He thought he was a pretty good brother. Although he knew that his sister was in love, he respected her privacy as an adult. If she didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask. He flew around all the year round, so he would work harder. The siblings met There were few opportunities, and he had too much trust in Jiang Xianghuai's character.

His chest was full of depression, he raised his head and stared at the dim streetlight, his voice was a little low: "So I'm not a good brother either."

Some childhood memories are vague, while others are deep.

He always remembers the evening when Chengcheng was born, the orange sunset covered the sky and spread like a fire. He came back from the kindergarten and followed his grandfather to the civilian hospital to see his mother and newborn sister. family portrait.Grandpa told him that in the future he will have more people to love him, and of course he should love one more person, because love is mutual, everyone loves each other as a family.

He thought so too. When he saw the ugly newborn baby, his heart was soft, because even if his parents were still not around, he would have someone to accompany him in the future.

Nanri County is a small hometown of overseas Chinese. In the early years, the economy was not good, and there was no place to make money. It happened that the country opened up. Many people went to Europe to work and do business in the 90s. Zhou Bingcheng’s parents did the same, leaving their two children behind. In my hometown, two elderly people are taken care of. They will only go home during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the two brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are typical left-behind children.

……

"Then according to your logic, Zhou Zhicheng also thinks that she is not a good sister." Jiang Xianghuai also looked at the lamp. Nothing was told to her."

Zhou Bingcheng choked, and those hurtful emotions dissipated. He still wanted to say that this is different, and that the world is even more unfair to women: "Besides, I couldn't be more serious with Jiang Li. Tomorrow I will be with you She orders."

"Me too." Jiang Xianghuai's voice resounded in the night.

"If you dare to propose marriage tomorrow, we really don't need to be brothers." Zhou Bingcheng sneered.

Of course Jiang Xianghuai would not be so reckless, he thought, touched his trouser pocket, there was a pack of cigarettes in it, and he handed the whole pack to Zhou Bingcheng, with a respectful and polite attitude.

Zhou Bingcheng squinted: "What are you doing?"

"Honor my brother-in-law." Very calm.

Of course Zhou Bingcheng didn't answer: "You quit smoking, where did you get the cigarettes?"

"Zhao Yanjia bought it."

Zhao Yanjia learned a lot when he went to the countryside: "As the saying goes, it's easy to do things when you have cigarettes. As a litigator, you have to be tactful and unsophisticated. Is this for cigarettes? No, it's human favor."

Jiang Xianghuai only hoped that the Zhou family would accept his affection.
