i might like my brother

--

During the May Day holiday, Li Chibin was about to pack up and leave, when He Jia came over to gossip: "Sun Fan was beaten, do you know?"

Li Chibin had heard about it, and the whole class was talking about it from morning to night, whoever called didn’t know, Li Chibin hadn’t spoken to Sun Fan for a long time, and club activities were basically done by contacting the president alone. Do, occasionally see Sun Fan is deliberately detour.

What should Li Chibin say, Sun Fan should belong to the kind of uncomfortable looking, especially the way he looks at himself, more like a predator looking at prey, which makes Li Chibin get goosebumps all over his body.

"The beating was serious, my leg was broken, I was disfigured, and I didn't take the final exam." He Jia described it vividly.

"Whatever." Li Chibin has been quite upset recently, although nothing else has happened since that incident, but the pointing eyes of the people around him always make him breathless.

"Don't mind me, maybe it was your brother who hit me?"

"Why do you push Li Jinzhi for everything? It's not like my brother beats up every one he sees."

"Anyone can see that Sun Fan is plotting against you, his eyes just want to eat you up," He Jia muttered, "Besides, it's not like you haven't seen your brother's protective behavior..."

"You're an idiot, who are you scolding!" Although Li Chibin scolded like this, he still had some doubts in his heart. He could feel that Li Jinzhi belonged to the one who didn't like Sun Fan very much, but Sun Fan insisted on it. It's just because he didn't think so much when Sun Fan and him didn't have a falling out.

Thinking about it now, including the fact that Li Jinzhi beat Hu Wei at that time, only the person involved and Sun Fan knew about it. Hu Wei would not sue the teacher for fighting each other and punish him, could it be Sun Fan?Li Chibin thought back then when Li Jinzhi asked himself what he thought of Sun Fan...

"Fuck." Li Chibin speeded up his packing, dragged his heavy schoolbag and rushed out of the school gate, onto the nearest subway.

Surprisingly, the lights in the house were all dark, and Li Jinzhi and Li Tunan were not at home.

Li Chibin first called Li Jinzhi, but no one answered, and then called Li Tunan.

"Hello? Dad, where are you?"

"In the No. [-] Hospital, your brother beat her and broke her legs."

"Who?"

"Don't worry about it, go to the street and rub yourself..."

Before Li Tunan finished speaking, Li Chibin cut off the phone and rushed to the hospital.

--

The pale lights in the hospital were crammed into the narrow and cramped corridors. Before reaching the corner, Li Chibin heard a woman screaming and cursing.

"Let me tell you, 200 million, not a penny less! My mother has worked so hard to drag her son to such an age, and he will take the college entrance examination soon. Who is responsible for beating my son like this?"

"Bah! Don't tell me that my son's hand is fine! How shameless your family is, I still owe 10,000+ outside, I'm busy enough outside every day and you still cause trouble for me, will you pay it for me? ?”

The woman was pinching a low-quality cigarette with one hand, and the smell of disinfectant mixed with it was very pungent. She was wearing a sequin suspender on her upper body, a pair of hot pants underneath, and she was also very tall with flip-flops. She was also a little depressed, but it could be seen that she was a good-looking woman.

The woman saw Li Chibin walking towards him at the end of the corridor, pointed at him, and satirized: "Hey, your youngest son? Has he grown so big? Why didn't he get hit and killed together?"

Li Chibin was stunned. This woman seemed to know about his car accident, but after thinking about it, he had never seen it before.

"Are you enough?" Sun Fan supported the wall, and slowly came out dragging a leg that had been put in a plaster cast. After seeing him for more than ten days, Sun Fan's complexion was even worse. Painful, it seemed to be begging a woman: "Stop talking, go back quickly."

"Why can't I say? Why, they can kill your mother after killing your father?"

Li Chibin looked up at Sun Fan, his eyes darkened.

Sun Fan struggled to take out 500 yuan from his schoolbag at the door and handed it to the woman: "Don't you still have a game of poker this afternoon?"

The woman glared at him: "I want to see the money they lost tomorrow."

Sun Fan nodded feebly, and Li Tunan went downstairs to pay Sun Fan's medical bills.

"That's your mother?" Li Chibin sat on the bench outside the hospital, glanced at Sun Fan, and Sun Fan acquiesced.

"Your mother knows me?"

"You had a car accident when you were young, do you remember?" Sun Fan sat on the bench without energy: "The driver is my dad."

Li Chibin was stunned. He had never seen the driver who caused the accident back then. It is said that he hit a tree and died.

"My mother was just diagnosed with liver cancer that day. He was in a hurry to go home, and there was a car accident on the way." Sun Fan rubbed his temples: "Later, my mother didn't want to be cured anymore. I went to play mahjong every day."

"I know it's not your fault, it's fate." Sun Fan opened his bloodshot eyes: "But I just don't want to see you, I'm just like my mother, I'm selfish. I wish you could be like me, Go to hell together."

Li Chibin finally understood why Li Jinzhi didn't want to see Sun Fan, he was still rushing, he had nothing to do with Sun Fan, and he took care of himself to get closer.

Li Chibin and Sun Fan sat without moving for a long time, and Sun Fan opened his mouth first: "I didn't know my mother would come, he said you...forget it."

Sun Fan knew what Li Chibin wanted to hear the most: "I won't let your brother be punished again, you can go back. Your brother went to the rooftop of the hospital just now because he thought it was a mess."

"That..." Li Chibin wanted to say something, but he couldn't sign one end.

"Stop talking, take care, brother." Sun Fan raised his head and smiled, returning him a sunny and cheerful smile, as usual.

--

The college entrance examination came as scheduled, Li Chibin and Sun Fan lost contact, and he was discharged from the hospital the next day.I don't even know if Sun Fan has taken the college entrance examination.

Outside the window, I heard a rustling song, and the electric fan above my head was spinning in a circle exhaustedly. Li Jinzhi wrote a series of fluent words, and the thin sweat on my body stained the school uniform.

"How is it?" Li Chibin hurried to the door to catch Li Jinzhi's figure when he heard the last bell that finished English.

"Functionally." Li Jinzhi rubbed Li Chibin's unruly bangs, while Li Tunan yelled, "That's right, why do you still have to ask? Let's go, your dad treats you."

"I want to eat barbecue." Li Chibin picked up Li Tunan's words.

"Who cares what you eat? Your brother has the final say today." Li Tunan ignored Li Chibin's request.

"Well, barbecue." Li Jinzhi agreed with Li Chibin.

Li Chibin stuck out his tongue at Li Tunan.

--

"Come on, come on, cheers." Li Tunan raised his glass first: "Congratulations on the end of our college master exam!"

Li Chibin and Li Jinzhi drank the orange juice to save face.

"Brother, have you decided which university to go to?" Li Chibin picked up peanuts with his chopsticks.

Li Jinzhi was stunned when he heard the words, and Li Tunan hurriedly ended the topic: "Why are you thinking so much now? Hurry up and eat this shrimp, it's delicious."

Li Tunan conveniently picked up a piece of shrimp for Li Chibin.

Li Chibin was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he was not so entangled.

"You two have a good time this summer vacation. Your father paid for it, so next year you should work so hard." Li Tunan paused after finishing speaking: "I have an outsourced project in summer vacation, and I have been on a business trip for a long time. Your brother's."

"Cut." Li Chibin rolled his eyes, and the whole family treated him like a child.

Li Tunan said that he was on a business trip during the summer vacation, but he didn't expect that he would leave the next day. Li Chibin hadn't had the holiday yet, so naturally he went to school early, so Li Tunan asked Li Jinzhi to help him pack his things.

"Hey, don't tuck that blue shirt in for me. I've been too fat recently." Li Tunan ordered Li Jinzhi to help him pack his clothes while tidying up his documents.

"It's done, I'll just take these few pieces, and I'll buy them when I don't have enough." Li Tunan zipped up the suitcase with satisfaction, and patted Li Jinzhi on the shoulder: "Let me tell you, your summer vacation Don't give me too much at home, and don't forget what you promised me."

"I know, I've already filled out the application form, as well as the letter of recommendation." Li Jinzhi lowered his body and continued to help him organize his clothes.

"That's fine, leave the rest to me," Li Tunan heaved a sigh of relief, "When are you going to tell Xiao Chi?"

"do not know."

"Wait a minute, I won't bother you to clean up my underwear, go back to the house and stay!" Li Tunan snatched the red underwear from Li Jinzhi's hand and started to chase people away.

Li Jinzhi didn't say anything, and watched as Li Tunan stuffed his red underwear into the suitcase and left.

Li Jinzhi, who finally regained his freedom, went out to buy a bottle of pineapple juice. It was evening, and the setting sun lit up the twilight. He stood under the willow tree at the door to hide from the sun, and waited for Li Chibin to finish his get out of class.

"Brother!" Li Chibin poked his head out of the crowd with his schoolbag on his back, waved and smiled at Li Jinzhi, tiptoed through the crowd, and he could hear He Jia's complaint from behind: "Li Chibin, why did you turn me on again? Drop it!"

"Here." Li Jinzhi took out the pineapple juice he just bought in his hand: "It hasn't been heated yet."

Li Chibin opened the can, ignored He Jia, and ran away with Li Jinzhi.

"Where's Dad?"

"Just left this afternoon."

"Why didn't you tell me, I'll take him to the airport."

"You go to school." Li Jinzhi said briefly, and took him home by bike: "What do you want to eat?"

"Pumpkin rice, sweeter." Li Chibin fed pineapple juice into his mouth, and was reminded by Li Jinzhi to drink it slowly.

Li Jinzhi fried a few more dishes for him, such as fried corn, Chiba tofu, and fried shrimp.

Li Chibin sat in a corner of the restaurant, looking at the kitchen filled with the aroma of food, Li Jinzhi was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.

Li Chibin's mind wandered wildly, but in fact he didn't have to think about anything.
