I trade seven with the gods

Li Hanyao stared blankly at the young man in front of him. He would never forget this familiar face no matter what.

boom!

Li Hanyao suddenly stood up and punched Xiang Tiange on the shoulder. He shouted with great excitement but anger:

"Why didn't you tell me that you were fine? Do you think this kind of joke is funny?"

The three or four people on the bus immediately looked at Li Hanyao strangely, but Li Hanyao didn't care at all.

With red eyes, he patted Xiang Tiange on the shoulder and murmured to himself extremely excitedly:

"Fuck, you scared me to death this time, but as long as it's okay, it's okay. By the way, you really are a cockroach, so it doesn't matter..."

"Do you know my brother?"

Unexpectedly, the next sentence of "Xiang Tiange" made Li Hanyao's smile freeze on his face.

"you……"

Li Hanyao's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at "Xiang Tiange" in front of him in surprise and said with a forced smile:

"Haha, brat, how long has it been, and you're still kidding me?"

Although Li Hanyao was trying hard to put on a smile on his face, his heart was getting colder and colder. Because he also noticed something was wrong with the "Xiang Tiange" in front of him.

This "Xiang Tiange" has softer facial lines, a slightly more immature facial features, and is a little shorter than the Xiang Tiange I knew before.

Li Hanyao was woken up by the cold water, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

This feeling is really uncomfortable. The most joyful idiom in the world is "a false alarm", and the most uncomfortable idiom is "a dream in the south".

……

But Li Hanyao still found it difficult to accept it. He glanced at the young man suspiciously and asked unwillingly:

"Why don't I remember that Tiange has a younger brother?"

The young man's expression was slightly lonely. He smiled bitterly, looked out the window and said slightly absent-mindedly:

"Brother...he probably doesn't want to mention me to outsiders."

Li Hanyao really believed what the young man said. Because Xiang Tiange almost never mentioned family matters to him, and never invited anyone to his home.

Therefore, although many people in the class knew where his home was, no one had ever been to his home.

But no matter what, Li Hanyao somewhat believed in the identity of the young man in front of him.

Because of this relationship, Li Hanyao looked at the young man with a slightly slower look and his tone became softer:

"Let me introduce myself first. Your brother and I are friends. My name is..."

"Li Hanyao, Brother Yaozi."

The young man was the first to speak. He touched his head and smiled sheepishly, "My brother is your only friend. I heard him mention it once."

Li Hanyao felt mixed emotions in his heart and remained silent for a while.

The young man had great respect for Li Hanyao and always spoke with honorifics:

"Brother Hanyao, thank you for always taking care of my brother. My name is Xiang Tianhe."

Li Hanyao smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to tell the young man or himself:

"I take care of him? It's more like he taking care of me."

The two of them had nothing to say, except for the occasional bumping sound of the bus.

Li Hanyao turned his head and looked around. The sun shone through the car window and shone on the side of Xiang Tianhe's face. Looking at it now, he saw that this guy really looked different from his brother.

After a brief silence, Li Hanyao looked at the schoolbag in Xiang Tianhe's hand and couldn't help but ask:

"The money in your schoolbag...is it the compensation given to your brother by Arashiyama Middle School?"

As expected, Xiang Tianhe nodded as Li Hanyao expected.

At a critical moment like the college entrance examination, the serious negative news about the collapse of a teaching building caused the reputation of Lanshan Middle School to plummet.

The school board must be eager to lose money and eliminate disasters, so it will provide compensation to the families of the deceased students so quickly.

only……

Li Hanyao glanced at Xiang Tianhe's small schoolbag. He couldn't help but frown, with a slightly cold expression.

At first glance, this money seems to be a lot, but if you say that this is compensation for a human life, it seems a bit shabby.

……

Ding--

The bus arrived at a new stop again, and people on the bus got off one after another. In the blink of an eye, only Li Hanyao and Xiang Tianhe were left in the car.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two teenagers. The driver yawned from the front.

Xiang Tianhe seemed suddenly ashamed. He lowered his head, gripped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag tightly, and said as quietly as a mosquito:

"Brother Hanyao, you won't look down on me because of this, right?"

"Ok?"

Li Hanyao looked away from the scenery outside the window, and he asked doubtfully:

"Why do you look down on you?"

Xiang Tianhe bit his lip, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Now that I'm carrying the money in my schoolbag home, it's as if I'm exchanging my brother's life for money."

"How could you have such a stupid idea?"

Li Hanyao knocked Xiang Tianhe on the back of the head, pretended to be angry and scolded:

"Your brother's death is not your fault. Why don't you accept the compensation from others? Can your brother be resurrected without receiving compensation?"

"Is it because you are afraid that others will talk about you behind your back, and just for the so-called face, why don't you give up the compensation? Whoever does this is a scoundrel!"

He understands Xiang Tianhe's age group so well, he is self-respecting and sensitive. But no matter how self-respecting you are, you still have to eat and continue to live.

At the very least, this money can make Xiang Tianhe's poor life much better.

……

"but……"

Li Hanyao said somewhat vaguely:

"However, I do have a doubt. Why are you the one who comes out to handle these things? Where are your parents and your mother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Hanyao instantly regretted them.

Oh, my damn memory!

"I have no father or mother."

Sure enough, Xiang Tianhe's words once again dealt a fatal blow to Li Hanyao's heart.

After a moment of silence, Li Hanyao said with a guilty expression:

"Sorry, sorry!"

"It's ok,"

Xiang Tianhe acted very free and easy. He smiled broadly and said:

"You can't blame Brother Hanyao for this. I know that my brother definitely didn't tell Brother Hanyao these things. Those who don't know are not guilty, haha."

……

The speed of the bus obviously slowed down, and Li Hanyao was a little suspicious. The driver was eavesdropping on their chat.

"Then...are you two the only ones in your family?"

Li Hanyao pulled Xiang Tianhe to sit in the back row, and then asked softly.

Although Xiang Tianhe didn't understand Li Hanyao's behavior, he still followed him and replied:

"Me, my brother, and my grandma, the three of us live together."

"No wonder."

Li Hanyao realized later and suddenly understood why Xiang Tiange was so short of money.

Thinking of this, he touched the latest white mobile phone in his arms and couldn't help but feel silent again.

……

After Li Hanyao and Li Hanyao took their seats in the back row, the speed of the bus obviously became faster.

15 minutes later, the terminal arrived.

Li Hanyao and Xiang Tianhe got up and got out of the car. The weather outside was a bit sultry.

"Brother Hanyao, do you live near here?"

Xiang Tianhe asked innocently.

Li Hanyao smiled and said, "No, go to your house."
