[Lei An] Extremes must be reversed

"Have you had fun today?" When the car stopped at the red light, the man driving turned his head and said kindly to the boy sitting behind with a smile.

"Happy! Thank you Dad!"

The boy raised his head happily, and waved the shuriki-shaped toy as proof.

Today, in order to reward his son for the No. 1 exam in the class, my father took him to the playground to play.

"After you go back, you have to study hard."

"I know, I will definitely rank first in the exam next time!"

The little boy nodded resolutely.

The green light was about to turn on, the car restarted, suddenly, a speeding car crossed the intersection without warning, and rushed straight towards their car, and the sharp horn sounded from all directions, and the boy panicked. Eyes wide open, mouth wide open.It happened before his brain had time to receive the dangerous message.The memory of those few minutes was shattered by the violent impact and the rolling heat wave. His eyes were red, and he reached out to grab the corner of his father's clothes, but it was in vain...

An Mixiu woke up from the car, the corners of his eyes were still a little sour.He hadn't dreamed about the past for a long time.Since he decided to start a new life at the age of 12, the past disaster has been sealed in the depths of his memory, and he decided not to dig it out.

"You can sleep a little longer." Lei Shi, who was sitting next to him, was fiddling with his laptop with his head down. When he saw him wake up, he turned his head and said to him.

"No need." An Mixiu rubbed the center of his brows, turned his neck back and forth a few times, his upper body ached from his drowsy sleep all the way, moved his butt forward, and asked Camille who was driving in front: "How long do we have?" arrive?"

"Half an hour." Camille said.

Today was the day they had planned to go back to Lei's house together.

An Mixiu picked up a bottle of mineral water and moistened his throat, and his chest was less stuffy.

Speaking of which, as his nominal guardian, Lei Shi brought him home for the first time.

But... the relationship between the two now, or the relationship on the surface, is much more complicated.

An Mixiu's eyes fell on the ring on her ring finger. The design of the ring was unique, with a double-layered ring, with silver on the top and rose gold on the bottom, with a diamond sandwiched between the two rings.When he first got this "gift", he couldn't control his excitement at all, but when he thought that it was just a necessary prop for "pretending to be his fiancé", he was extremely disheartened.

Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Lei Shi thought he was not feeling well, so he lowered the car window, and the salty, humid and mild sea breeze blew in front of him and poured into the car.

Lei's villa is located in the rich area along the coast, facing the beautiful bay and backed by the green mountains.The car drove into the territory and passed through the first gate. Camille slowed down, and An Mixiu stuck his head out of the window. It was almost evening. The afterglow of the setting sun blended with the indigo night. The fountain entered a modern European-style building in sight, and they arrived at their destination.

Waiters in dresses stood outside the door. After the three got out of the car, one of the waiters was responsible for parking the car to the parking space in the backyard.

An Mixiu is wearing a light-colored casual suit jacket today, with gouache-style flower patterns printed on it, a thin material vest inside, and a pair of khaki casual trousers on the lower body. He Minglang was fully displayed, and it also set off his straight figure and gentle temperament.When choosing clothes, Lei Shi specially put together a "couple outfit" for the two of them. He wore a dark shirt with bright flower patterns printed on it, and black trousers on his lower body.The two wore the same ring, and they did look like a couple.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lei Shi grabbed An Mixiu's shoulders. An Mixiu almost couldn't stand still and bumped his face into his chest. After he realized it, he wanted to hug Lei Shi's waist, but felt that it was too much Deliberately, he raised his hand and put it down awkwardly.

Looking at the two people's lack of tacit understanding of "showing affection", Camille sighed silently.

It seems that today will not be so good.

Although An Mixiu knew that the Lei family was rich and powerful, it was the first time that he saw such a rich and powerful villa so directly.After all, although Leishi has a little money, the place where they live is not very exaggerated.Entering the villa, An Mixiu found that the interior decoration style was not as magnificent as imagined, full of local tyrants, but leaned towards the modern and simple European style.But no matter what, he couldn't feel a trace of "home" life, and with the busy waiters everywhere in the room, it was more like a place specially used for business talks than a house.Thinking about it this way, based on his own understanding of Lei Shi, he can guess that Lei Shi would not be happy living here when he was a child.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Leishi."

Lei Yun had already arrived first and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Seeing them approaching, the impatience on his face subsided a little.

Today she was wearing a black tube top dress with star dots on the skirt, and a black coat with stars shining on it. Her long dark purple hair was tied up, revealing her white and slender neck.

An Mixiu and her have not met a few times, but the impression has always been deep.As expected, Lei Yun and Lei Shi are siblings, their facial features are very similar, An Mixiu even had the illusion that if Lei Shi were a girl, she would be so beautiful.Both of them are very imposing, but their temperaments are slightly different. Lei Yun looks more glamorous, while Lei Shi... An Mixiu thinks he is very cunning.

"I hope today can end soon." Lei Shi yawned, tightened his arms around An Mixiu's shoulders, lowered his head slightly, and said to the people around him in an ambiguous tone: "If you are tired, you can go to bed later. Go back and rest."

An Mixiu felt goosebumps all over his body, it was too greasy, and it was the first time that Lei Shi spoke to him in such a "gentle" tone.

"I see." An Mixiu moved aside calmly, and appropriately distanced the two of them.

"Is this your first time for An Mixiu? Don't be nervous." Unexpectedly, Lei Yun's attitude towards him was better than expected. The smile on her face and the thoughtfulness in her eyes were not at all hypocritical.

Dinner is about to start. Today is a family banquet. The main members attending the dinner are Lei Shi's father, Lei Yi, the young master of the Lei family, Lei Yun, the second daughter of the Lei family, and the third sons, Lei Shi, Camille, and An Mi. Repair a few people.Entering the main dining room, Lei Yi was the only one sitting in front of the long marble table.

An Mixiu met Lei Yi when he was a child, and he still remembers the first time he met Lei Yi in the hospital. At that time, Lei Yi was lying on the hospital bed, his temples were pale and haggard, and there were many people standing around them, including lawyers and doctors. , and some adults in suits and ties with cold faces... seem to be shareholders of the company.They said a lot of things that An Mixiu couldn't understand, but he didn't understand at all at that time, and he didn't want to understand, he just wanted to hide behind his father, although...he knew that his father was gone.Just when he was about to cry, Lei Yi touched his head, explained everything to him in a gentle and patient tone, and calmed his flustered emotions.

Today's Lei Yi is completely different from the one in his memory. He has a strong body, black hair on his temples, and exudes a majestic aura.

"Where are the others?" Lei Shi led An Mixiu to his seat, and asked casually, without even looking at his father.

"Brother doesn't know that you are coming back." Lei Yun took a seat opposite him, her tone hesitated when she spoke, and she glanced at Lei Yi after she finished speaking.

"He came here in the morning, let's not talk about him."

Lei Yi waved his hands irritably, and Lei Shi could probably guess without him saying more, and the two of them probably quarreled again.In the past few years, they had quarreled quite a lot, and the reason was nothing more than related to Lei's company's equity and inheritance rights.

"An Mixiu, welcome." Lei Yi suddenly raised his glass and said to An Mixiu, the indifference on his face eased a lot.

"Thank you... sir..." Xiancai was still thinking that he couldn't fit into the conversation of Lei's family at all, but when he was called on suddenly, An Mixiu was startled, and hurriedly raised his wine glass in return.

"Don't be cautious, I heard from Xiaoyun that since you have decided to marry Lei Shi in the future, then we are a real family."

An Mixiu almost spit out his wine, he quickly winked at Lei Shi next to him, Lei Shi shrugged disapprovingly, as if he had already guessed it.

The waiter put the appetizers together, Lei Yi stood up and said a few words, and after a few people toasted, they began to eat quietly.

An Mixiu doesn't like this kind of feeling very much. Everyone at the dinner table has their own concerns and mutual suspicion. He has to be careful and rack his brains to recall Western food etiquette so as to prevent himself from making a fool of himself. This makes him sit on pins and needles. Comfortable.

He recalled that when he was young, he and his parents would go to the supermarket every weekend to buy a lot of ingredients and cook together. Their family was not rich, the house was very narrow, and the loan would have to be repaid for decades, and the dining table could only be set. In the kitchen, but no one cares about that.At the dinner table, they talked to each other about interesting things in life. My father always liked to tell some stories, which made him and his mother dumbfounded. The atmosphere at home was always warm.Later, he lived with Lei Shi, and although they bickered every time they ate, the atmosphere was always relaxed and happy.

Subconsciously, An Mixiu cast his eyes on Lei Shi for help.

Lei Shi elegantly cuts the dishes on the plate, and he skillfully uses those dazzling Western-style tableware, and his gestures are extraordinary.

He used to know that Lei Shi came from a wealthy family, but he couldn't connect with an elegant gentleman with his unscrupulous appearance on weekdays. Now he finally realized that the other party is really different from himself. Well-educated, pampered, raised in the palm of his hand.

"I'll go back after dinner." Lei Shi wiped his mouth, put the napkin aside, and said bluntly, An Mixiu noticed that he ate very little, and spent most of his time pulling the bowl with a knife From time to time, he would cast a few glances at Lei Yi and Lei Yun for those precious ingredients in the food.

"I came back because I heard that you have a health problem. I think you are quite healthy. You also know about the matter between me and An Mixiu. It's nothing serious. I'll go back later."

"It's too late today, you're not tired, An Mixiu and Camille also need to rest." Lei Yun also stopped, seeing that Lei Shi was merciless, she turned to look at the other two.

"I will follow the arrangement of my elder brother." Camille said calmly, and the atmosphere at the table became tense in an instant.

As an illegitimate child, Camille was not recognized by the family since he was a child, and he didn't care. In order to ease the relationship with Lei Shi in the past two years, Lei Yun and Lei Yi's attitude towards him has also changed a lot, but for their efforts, The two brothers themselves dismissed it.

An Mixiu looked at Lei Shi in bewilderment.

"Today is just a family banquet, Lei Shi, I know what you mean, I will not force you to pay for the family anymore, this time I let you come back, I also have other things to say, are you willing to give this little time?"

Lei Yi's deep voice sounded, and his high-ranking tone was full of threats. Everyone except An Mixiu knew that this was the biggest concession he could make.

"Okay." After a brief stalemate, Lei Shi finally put away his aggressiveness.

After that, An Mixiu only felt that he had eaten the worst meal in his life. If he had to choose, he would rather choose the dark cuisine that Lei Shi cooked for him when he was a child.Of course, the taste of the dishes is impeccable, but the atmosphere is too depressing. At the table, Lei Yi talked about the company's affairs from time to time. Naturally, it is impossible for the lion to be humiliated so obediently, hiding the knife in his words, not only accusing the Lei family's corrupt system all over the place, but also analyzing the current operating conditions of the Lei family group, mocking a few people who do nothing but are highly valued. Shareholders, both sides insisted on their own opinions, obviously wanting to beat each other up, but there was still an elegant smile on the surface, seeing that An Mixiu shuddered, he looked at Camille as if asking for help, and the latter was eating leisurely. What I like, let the waiter add a few pieces of delicious cakes from time to time. It's common for you to fight with each other on this kind of table.

Finally made it through the dinner, An Mixiu was relieved, Lei's villa is huge, with three floors, when Lei Yun told him to live in that room tonight, Lei Shi came over and pulled An Mixiu into his arms inside.

"An Mixiu will stay in my room tonight, so don't bother you." He drank a lot of wine, and the smell of sweet red wine and cologne mixed together, and An Mixiu felt too tired. The smell of the lion is still his current behavior.

"Lei Shi, enough is enough." Lei Yun couldn't help clenching his hand, Lei Shi ignored him, put his arm around An Mixiu's shoulder and turned to leave.

An Mixiu turned his head and mouthed "I'm sorry" to her, only then did he see that the anger on her face had faded, replaced by a wry smile.

"Uh, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

After entering the room, An Mixiu questioned the big bed in the room.

It would be a lie to say that there are no expectations and fantasies. His heart is still pounding, and the calmness on his face is completely forced.

"Let's lie down halfway, I won't move you." Lei Shi said, yawned and sat on the bed.

"I can't believe your sleeping position."

Oops, An Mixiu felt that his face was getting hot, and he didn't know where to put his eyes. Lei Shi is usually very sharp, but today he may have drunk too much, and his reaction was slow, so he didn't notice his eyes. Something is wrong.

"I'll take a shower first."

After finishing speaking, Lei Shi was about to unbutton himself, An Mixiu quickly dragged him from the bed and pushed him into the bathroom, for fear that he would suddenly strip naked in front of him,

Hearing the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, An Mixiu sat down on the bed discouraged.

Looking around, this should be the room where Leishi used to live. There are not many things in the room. There are huge French windows beside the bed. From the window, you can see the lights of the garden at the bottom of the building and the ocean under the night in the distance. There is a row of A bookshelf with some old books on it.

The mood suddenly calmed down.

An Mixiu walked to the bookshelf, which contained some design-related books, artist's picture books, and some old magazines. His hand stroked the spine of the books, and it seemed to overlap with the thunder lion in the past time and space.

The old things in the room still have traces of their owners’ past lives. He imagined a small figure sitting in front of the bookcase, flipping through those books over and over again, and the sunlight soaked in the sea breeze outside the floor-to-ceiling windows fell on him.

There was a box under the bookcase that attracted An Mixiu's attention. He took out the box, hesitated for a while and still didn't open it.

"What are you looking at?"

At this time, Lei Shi had just finished taking a shower, and he walked out of the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, and the water that had not been wiped off his body dripped onto the carpet.

"It's nothing." An Mixiu trembled guiltily, and the box almost fell to the ground. He hugged it tightly, his eyes flicked across the tattoo on the other's waist, and he couldn't help breathing.

"Just look around, there seems to be something from my childhood inside." Lei Shi glanced at him, and there was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but he didn't mind, knocked on the box, and muttered "I Almost forgot about this."

"Is it okay?"

"Anyway, I've turned over your room a few times, aren't you curious?"

It is rare for An Mixiu to see a hint of embarrassment on Lei Shi's face. Speaking of Lei Shi's attitude towards him today... An Mixiu can more or less guess, maybe he wants to make up for himself.

Having obtained permission, An Mixiu carefully opened the box.

On the top, there are a few photos first, and the year and date are marked on the back of the photos.

In the first one, a 13-year-old boy, Lei Shi, is standing in front of a wall. He is wearing a sweater and jeans that look like children's clothing. His body is covered with paint. He is holding a paint bucket in his hand, smiling triumphantly. On the wall of , there is a graffiti painting that has just been painted, abstract stormy seas and ships sailing in a storm, the colors are a bit dirty, the brushstrokes are messy, but full of fun.

In the second photo, there are 4 people in it. Lei Shi is standing in the center of the stage. He is carrying an electric guitar and holding a microphone in one hand. The practice room was immersed in the music ecstatically, and Camille only showed half of his face. This photo was taken by him with the front camera.

There is also a student ID card inside, which looks a bit familiar. An Mixiu realized that this is the one issued by his school, but now the background color on his student ID card is red, and the one of Leishi is very similar to his. But there are differences.In the photo, Lei Shi is wearing his school uniform crookedly, with a Band-Aid on his face, he should have just had a fight with someone.He hadn't heard Lei Shi mention the matter of high school.

There are still some small items left, such as commemorative stamps with deep sea patterns, yellowed card game cards, a few glass beads, and a piece of folded fabric at the bottom. A piece of fabric was spread out, with pop-style surf-themed graffiti printed on it, and the fabric had ugly tears. An Mixiu guessed that it was cut from clothes or somewhere.

"You drew this? Can you still draw?"

An Mixiu asked in surprise.There seems to be something blocked in the chest, but the head is light and light, and the mood is between happiness and entanglement.He was entangled because he found out that he didn't know anything about Leishi's past, so he felt regretful; he was happy because Leishi showed him his past, and he couldn't wait to learn more.

"This is the first time I have participated in a design competition." Lei Shi said, he picked up the piece of fabric, the emotion in his eyes was very flat: "This brand will hold juvenile design competitions regularly, and the prizes are customized designs with winning patterns. I didn’t tell my family members, and then signed up. I won an encouragement award that time. I know that although it is a competition for children, there will still be ghostwriters, but It doesn't matter. I just told Lei Yun about it, and next time, I will win the championship."

Leishi refolded the fabric: "They printed a T-shirt with my painting and sent it to my house. The family was very happy. The old man called me to him and told me that as long as I obeyed, he could achieve All my wishes. I thought it was bullshit. Then I cut up the T-shirt and threw it in the trash can. Lei Yun found it for me and apologized to me. In fact, I don’t think it’s necessary. I don't even bother to argue with her."

Lei Shi said it casually, but An Mixiu had mixed feelings when he heard it.

He could imagine what kind of contempt this was for Leishi, who was already proud, and he also understood why Leishi didn't want to go back to this home.The elders in the upper position always do some self-righteous things like charity, and then immerse themselves in self-satisfaction and complacency. In fact, they don't know what the cherished person really wants.

"You used to go to my current school too?"

"When I was in high school, I was abroad in junior high school. I didn't want to go home. When I returned home, I chose a city far away from home to go to school. Later, I got used to this place. When I was in college, I wanted to settle down there and start my own business. This school is very good. Not bad, it's close to home, isn't it good for you to stay?"

"It's pretty good..."

But the meaning is different.

He walked the road that Lei Shi once walked, but missed the time.Liking someone is always dissatisfying, wanting to monopolize that person's future, and together with the unchangeable past, it also becomes greedy.

An Mixiu wanted to say something more, but Lei Shi sneezed suddenly, and he realized that this person was still wet.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, I'll go out and get some air."

After An Mixiu finished speaking, he closed the lid, hesitated, and asked, "Can you give these to me? I mean... take them home and keep them for you?"

"It's yours. Don't be too late, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Lei Shi pinched his cheek, went to the closet to get a change of pajamas, An Mixiu carefully put the box back to its original place, and left the room.

The room of the two of them is located on the third floor of the villa. This floor has a spacious terrace with wrought iron tables and chairs. It is an excellent place to drink afternoon tea and enjoy the scenery at night.It is early summer now, and the sea breeze at night is not so cool, and it is very comfortable to blow on the body.An Mixiu took a few deep breaths, leaned against the railing and looked at the scenery below, letting his thoughts go away a little bit.

"An Mixiu, are you still asleep?"

A voice sounded from behind, and An Mixiu was startled. The person who came was Lei Yun. She took off her makeup and was wearing a white nightgown. Her long hair hung down her shoulders. Gentle sister next door.

"Well, not too sleepy."

Due to Lei Shi's not-so-good relationship with her, An Mixiu also felt a little embarrassed at the moment, Lei Yun walked over, staring at his face with eyes very similar to Lei Shi's.

"I want to chat with you."

"Happy to accompany."

An Mixiu subconsciously put on a standard knightly smile, this reaction seemed to amused Lei Yun, the corners of her lips curled up, and the corners of her eyes gently curved.

"I still remember the first time I saw you in the photo. At that time, you were very thin, like a malnourished bean sprouts. I didn't expect that my unreliable brother could take care of you so healthy. I And don't worry."

Lei Yun's eyes wandering over An Mixiu made his ears turn red with embarrassment. An Mixiu was able to handle junior girls and girls of the same age with ease, but when facing a mature big sister, he was still... The person he likes looks so much like a beauty, he panicked a little.

"An Mixiu." After a sigh, her tone suddenly sank, and her gaze became serious. An Mixiu felt something foreboding, stared at by her burning eyes, and swallowed unconsciously.

"You...do you know why Lei Shi adopted you?"

Her voice was like a rolled-up ocean wave, hitting the rocks in his heart.

An Mixiu was stunned for a few seconds, his palms were slightly sweaty, he licked his slightly dry lips, and replied, "I know."
