Flick of the Fingers--Tan Hua

"What bet?"

"I'll give you a chance to elope! You try to ask Mr. Li to go with you, and see if he is willing, so it can prove whether he likes you or not."

"What does this bet have to do with whether he likes me or not? Even if he likes me, he can't leave his family behind. There is something wrong with your conditions."

Mrs. Zhou narrowed her eyes and said, "As the only son of the Zhou family, you can abandon your family business and parents for him. He also has an older brother in his family. Why can't you do this for you?"

"..."

Zhou Hong was almost convinced by her.

"So, what's the bet?"

Zhou's father stood up and exchanged glances with Mrs. Zhou, their tone suddenly became extremely solemn: "It's very simple, if he is willing to spend the rest of his life with you, then he will let you go, and we won't interfere. "

"What if you don't want to?"

"The deadline is tomorrow night. If he doesn't want to, you have to go abroad overnight tomorrow night. And, you can't contact him again."

Zhou Hong was startled, it seems that Mom and Dad are serious this time.

"No, I don't gamble. I'm satisfied with my life now. Even if you disagree, it won't stop us from being together."

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't dare to bet... That is, the child is probably forced by you, and actually doesn't like you at all, right?"

"!" Zhou Hong blushed all of a sudden, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed. "Just bet, bet, you have to do what you say!"

Mrs. Li covered her lips and smiled softly: "Of course, when have I lied to you? You have to keep your promise!"

Li Sayu was finally released.

It wasn't that he had completed the procedures for going abroad, but that Mrs. Li had something to go out and asked Aunt Chen to watch over her youngest son.

After all, Aunt Chen couldn't bear to watch her grown-up child be locked up like this, so she immediately called Li Daoyu.

Li Daoyu quickly left the company affairs behind and went home.

There are already visitors in the home.It was Li Sayu's classmate Zhang Yucheng and Zhou Hong's best friend An Xia. They lingered in the living room for a long time. Aunt Chen entertained them carefully, but she didn't dare to let them go up to see Li Sayu who was locked up.

Zhang Yucheng went upstairs, stood outside the room, lowered his voice and asked, "Li Sayu, are you okay?"

Li Sayu said, "I'm fine."

Zhang Yucheng said: "Listen well, Zhou Hong wants me to tell you that he is willing to give up the inheritance of the family for you. But his parents don't allow it. If you are willing to give up everything and go with him, tomorrow night, he will be waiting for you at the airport .”

After a pause, he added: "You must go."

Li Sayu stuck to the door and stood there dumbfounded after listening to the message.

Suddenly the sky turned.

His usual life seems to be changed because of this decision.Li Sayu never thought that he would leave his family and go to a completely strange place with Zhou Hong, and start a life of two people.

Live like a real couple.Live like all normal people.They can go to the Netherlands, without worldly vision, without worrying about heavy family business, just find a place, find a job they like, earn a little enough for themselves, and don’t have to experience financial crisis, wrong decision-making, family disappointment, and other people’s eyes .Go through birth, old age, sickness and death, parting from love and hate, and then die plainly...

I really envy such a life.

Why don't you want to.

However, in the face of his elder brother who cared and cared for him since he was a child, how could he go away so ignorantly?How sad and sad my brother will be.

For this family, for his mother and himself, my brother gave up so many things.Therefore, I must not give up on my brother.

And mom.

I have always held high expectations for myself, which is why I have such a heavy burden on my body.She shouldn't have blamed her originally, she was just a mother who had expectations for her children.

Li Sayu clutched his chest, suppressing the surge of sorrow, and slowly slid down.

A voice came from outside the door, and Li Sayu got up quickly.The door of the room opened suddenly, and the light shone into the room as if the heavens and the earth had just opened. Standing against the light was his brother, Li Daoyu.

Li Daoyu tilted his head slightly, looking at his younger brother who was squatting on the ground.

All of a sudden, I felt sore eyes. Li Sayu really wanted to hug his brother, but he didn't dare to move. A selfish and cowardly brother like himself would always hold his brother back.

Li Daoyu pulled him up and smiled: "Why did you get into this state?" He put the bowl in his hand on the table, turned and sat down, "Come here, eat your meal."

Not daring to disobey his brother's words, Li Sayu held the bowl, scooped up the porridge with a small spoon and drank it quickly. Li Daoyu sat beside him, smiled slightly, and reached out to touch his head.

"Mom doesn't mean anything malicious, you know, he just wants you to be well. The son of the Zhou family is very nice, but you can't live your whole life, silly."

Li Sayu almost blurted out "Why can't we have a future", but finally held back.He also understood that his brother was not malicious.

Seeing him burying his head in the porridge, his elder brother looked so preoccupied, he could only sigh: "As long as you are well, I won't object. You too, don't talk back to your mother, be soft, and let her let you out first, won't you?" Is there anything easy to say?"

Li Sayu has always been a good boy, he will do whatever his mother says.Even if he doesn't like what his mother asks him to do, he won't object.He grew up like this, always gentle and polite, quiet and shy, only this one thing, not even the slightest compromise.

The stubbornness in his bones is the same as that of Li Daoyu.

"My brother still said that you are not the same as sister Gao Lan." Li Sayu sat on the carpet with his head down, and said sullenly.

Li Daoyu was speechless for a moment.

He understood this reluctance to be subdued.

After a while, he stood up and walked out.When I got to the door, I turned back: "Sa Yu, I have nothing more to say to you. I know that you have grown up and have your own ideas. No matter what you want to do, remember that brother will always support you."

Closing the door behind his back, Li Sayu waited for a long time, but did not hear the sound of locking it.

He pushed the door suspiciously, but it was not locked.

Brother will come home to prove that mother is not at home.When he ran to the stairs, he heard the sound of the door opening. It seemed that his mother had come back. Li Sayu quickly retreated and hid in his brother's room.After thinking about it, he conveniently locked his own room next to him.

Sure enough, it was my mother who came back, and behind him was a middle-aged man in a white coat. I don't know if it was the doctor my mother hired, and he followed behind with a medical kit.Mrs. Li went upstairs to Li Sayu's room, and said to the people behind her: "He won't eat, I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry." The middle-aged man said: "Then just drink the nutrient solution."

Definitely not a psychiatrist.Li Sayu knew her mother too well. For a decent person like her, there was a scandal in her family, and it was too late to cover her up. Even if she wanted to see a psychiatrist, she would definitely not invite her to her home.

Mrs. Li knocked on the door for a while, but there was no response in the room.Start to pick the lock.

As long as there is no one in the room, my mother will search the whole house immediately, and there will be no way to hide.When they enter the door, it is the only chance to escape.

Li Sayu leaned against the door and heard the sound of the door of the next room being opened.Immediately there was the sound of closing the door.

He opened the door, and sure enough, there was no one in the corridor. The room was clearly soundproof, but Li Sayu seemed to be able to hear his mother lifting the sheets and opening the closet to look for him.He jumped down the stairs quickly, ran across the living room and hallway, and opened the door.

Outside the door, the bodyguard in black looked at him expressionlessly, his burly body blocked the only way in front of Li Sayu.

Li Sayu calmed down, and said to the bodyguards with a normal expression: "There is something missing in the house. Mom told you to immediately guard the exit of the house and search the room. The thief should still be in the house, so he must not be allowed to escape."

Several bodyguards looked at him suspiciously, one of them took out the walkie-talkie and was about to speak, when Li Sayu yelled softly: "Hurry up!"
