Lucid dreaming

He could have arrived at the Li family's mansion earlier, but when he got out of the train station, he stopped several taxis at the taxi stand and refused to take them, saying that he lived too far away, and the cars were empty all the way back, and he couldn't get anyone, unless Li Zhaowei was willing. Pay double the price.

Li Zhaowei held back his anger, and managed to stop a car. After getting in the car, the driver saw that Li Zhaowei didn't know the way, and deliberately went around several times, until Li Zhaowei recognized the old lady selling oranges by the roadside, and quarreled with the driver , was driven down by the driver, and could only walk towards the mansion along the direction in memory.

After going through many hardships, it was already evening when he arrived at the main residence of the Li family.The gate was locked tightly, and the sprinklers on the lawn were spouting water inside the European-style fence.Installing this thing on a lawn more than three meters wide looks like a pure brain damage.

This must be the taste of Li Zhaomin, a woman who has received a Western education through and through, and is committed to making her home look like a middle-class community.

Li Zhaowei sighed deeply, and rang the videophone, but no one answered, but the security lock of the door immediately popped open, and his younger brother must be guarding the door as before.He opened the door and went in. Sure enough, when he stepped into the yard, the paulownia door of the main house was opened. His younger brother, wearing a T-shirt and worn-out jeans, and pulling slippers, ran along the marble passage, without saying a word. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

Li Zhaowei felt extremely strong warmth in his heart.He patted his younger brother on the shoulder awkwardly and asked, "Is there anyone else in the family?"

"There are two aunts." Li Zhaohyuk let go of his brother and narrowed his eyes.I haven't seen him for two months, and my younger brother has reached his chin. I didn't expect the child to grow up so fast.It seems that after a period of separation, the younger brother will be as tall as him.

Together they walked across the iridescent lawn and into the main house.

The lobby was just as he had left it, still like a model home in a magazine.Li Zhaohe jumped onto the sofa in one step, and told his aunt to get something to eat quickly. When the aunt came out of the room, she was shocked when she saw Li Zhaowei, and said that it was no wonder that crabs were sent today. of.

Li Zhaowei didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing them busy in the kitchen, he sat down next to his younger brother and asked, "Egret doesn't have a sports meeting, why don't you go to school these two days?"

Lee Zhao Hyuk was taken aback: "The project to visit the United States, brother, have you forgotten?"

Li Zhaowei suddenly realized with an "oh". He really forgot that Bailu Middle School organizes students to visit prestigious American schools for ten days every year from the first year to the third year of high school.In the past two years, he has been busy and did not go, it seems that this year Lee Zhao Hyuk signed up.

"Brother, why didn't you sign up before?"

Li Zhaowei thought about it, it seemed that the first time he was not interested, and the second time he was unwilling to stay with Zhou Mingyuan for ten days.

"I don't want to go."

"I really want to go." Lee Jo Hyuk said.

"Then you go." Li Zhaowei said.

Li Zhaohyuk moved to his side, looked at him very closely, and whispered, "Brother, do you want to go this time?"

Why does he want to know so much about his attitude towards the visiting program?Li Zhaowei leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and waited for his younger brother to reveal the true intention of calling him here today.

My younger brother has been like this since he was a child. Once he has an idea, he won't go around in circles and just turn his eyes around. When his courage reaches a certain level, he will say it by himself.

Sure enough, Lee Zhao Hyuk couldn't bear his brother's silence, hesitantly said: "The elder sister said that if you want to come...she can say hello to the teacher alone and ask you to join the group..."

"I won't go." Li Zhaowei flatly refused.

Are you kidding me, why do you have to get involved with Li Zhaomin in this kind of thing, he wouldn't go into the courtyard with Li Zhaomin at home, let alone fly to the United States to see her on his own initiative.

Li Zhaohyuk was a little unwilling: "Brother, don't be like this. Eldest sister is a good person..."

Li Zhaowei frowned: "Big sister? You call her big sister? You've called her big sister so soon, why don't you call her little mom?"

Lee Jo Hyuk fell silent.After a while, he said expectantly again: "Brother... Dad wants to know... when will you move back."

After saying this, he exhaled a long breath, as if he had put down a big rock.

The second boot also hit the ground.

"I won't move." Li Zhaowei said.

Both proposals were rejected, Lee Zhao Hyuk was very disappointed, he squatted beside him with his legs crossed, and thought for a while: "Is it because of your boyfriend?"

"Who?"

"The boy you want to accompany." Li Zhaohyuk said, he couldn't help showing a little amazed expression on his face, "It's so fast, you have a boyfriend after only two months..."

He has long since come out to his family, which can be regarded as an enlightenment education for his younger brother.Now it seems that the educational effect is not bad. Mentioning boyfriends is as calm as mentioning girlfriends.Li Zhaowei slapped his younger brother's head casually: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's a classmate."

Lee Zhao Hyuk wanted to say something else, but it happened that his aunt brought black tea and interrupted the conversation between the two of them.

After being interrupted by the aunt once, both of them lost the idea of ​​continuing to talk about their boyfriend. Li Zhaowei took a sip of black tea, which was sour and bitter, and always unpalatable.But the only thing Li's family could immediately bring out was black tea.

He pretended to ask his younger brother casually: "Did your classmates make things difficult for you?"

Li Zhaohyuk glanced at his brother, turned his gaze away, and stirred the transparent amber liquid with a small porcelain spoon. "No...the news about your grade did not reach us, and I told them that I am Korean."

The younger brother's name was also given by a master, but it was not a Taoist master, but a Buddhist master, as if it was a lucky omen or something.Li Zhaowei looked at his younger brother's stubborn side face: "They believed it? But you are not like Koreans. Koreans have flatter faces."

Li Zhaohe agreed, and his eyes continued to wander: "Speaking of which, brother... Dad said that the student you stabbed was discharged from the hospital, and nothing happened. You don't have to worry. He has also been demoted. This year's college entrance examination, but it seems that he I'm not preparing for the college entrance examination either, I want to apply to my eldest sister's school to study abroad."

There are so many universities in the world, why do you have to go to Li Zhaomin's alma mater to study.Li Zhaowei drank black tea again, he wasn't thirsty, he just didn't want to keep his mouth idle.

Lee Zhao Hyuk also took a cup of black tea, took a sip and then put it down, his facial features huddled together: "It's so bitter. 33... Brother, is it 33? Has anyone mentioned that in 33?"

Li Zhaowei's heart skipped a beat.He tried his best not to shake the hands pinching the teacup, and asked as naturally as possible: "Did Mr. Li ask you to ask?"

"No." Li Zhaohyuk scratched the tip of his nose blankly, "You deliberately transferred to a school so far away, no one should know you."

"Then why are you asking this?"

"Why not... Brother, are you angry?"

"No." Li Zhaowei said coldly.

Li Zhaohe pressed his hands to his face like a raccoon, and rubbed it in a circle: "I think about what else... ah... Dad also said that if you make any troubles in 33, I will send you to Eldest sister. Brother, don’t let anything happen to you. Move back, I’m so bored living here by myself.”

Li Zhaowei looked at his younger brother, his eyes were full of expectations, he almost said "yes", and suddenly remembered Ke Xi who was still living at home recuperating from his injuries.

What would Koshi do if he came back.He couldn't imagine that Ke Xi, who was curled up on the big sofa in the study, would go back to the dirty bedroom.He stared at the gilt cup in his hand.The cups on the light blue background are painted with simple flowers and birds, which is completely different from the complicated rose bone china tea sets that my mother loved to buy in the past.

"I really don't want to move. Your little mother should go back to China after graduation. I can't stand living in the same house with her."

Li Zhaohyuk protested like a puppy: "There are four floors, you won't meet her, and she seems to be doing an internship outside first, and then returning to China after a while."

This woman is amazing.I don't care about my family's own business, but I go abroad to work for someone else's company.But she will be back sooner or later.

Thinking of that woman with shrewd eyes, Li Zhaowei couldn't help trembling.Since a year ago, when Mr. Li finally divorced and married her, his mother said, Li Zhaowei was very uncomfortable.He had seen Mr. Li's eldest daughter, Li Zhaomin, her half-sister, who, like her mother, exuded an aura that terrified him.

Hearing that Li Zhaomin is extremely good, he was ready to be ridiculed by her, but when they met, she held him by the shoulder and praised him for being handsome, even more handsome than his father when he was young, and praised his younger brother Baozi's face is round and cute, and he is smart and cute at first glance. He has also inherited the charming red phoenix eyes of Li's mother, which will grow from the womb, revealing intelligence.

Her logic made him feel at a loss.

He moved into the main house five months ago, and he stabbed a classmate with a knife three months ago. Li Zhaomin's handling was very... like his own sister.When they met, they were intimate and polite, and they were very disappointed after knowing that he had made a mistake, and the conversation was comfortable and sharp... But how could she treat him as a real brother?

He didn't know what Li Zhaomin was thinking, her attitude was too friendly and calm, which made him feel strongly uneasy.Something is stirring beneath the surface of calm.He instinctively wanted to stay away from that woman.

"Brother, I'll take you to see the game room that the eldest sister made!" The younger brother suddenly grabbed him, and Li Zhaowei woke up from his contemplation, and asked, "The game room?"

"It's so beautiful!" My brother said happily.

Li Zhaowei didn't want to go upstairs at all. After moving out, the house felt strange. Going upstairs seemed to invade his privacy, but his younger brother kept pulling him.

He followed Li Zhaohyuk at the door of a guest room on the second floor, his face flushed, he opened the door abruptly, and turned on the light, exposing the whole room to the soft light.Li Zhaowei couldn't help saying "ah".

The room has the original curtains and carpets of the guest room, possibly wallpaper and hanging lights, but everything else is completely different.The wall is covered with game posters and hanging scrolls, a huge display screen, a console, a full set of stereos, and handles. There is a piece in the middle, and another carpet is laid on the carpet, obviously for playing some kind of visual game.At the other end of the room, there were two huge glass cabinets standing at the head of the bed. The cabinet on the left contained smaller models, while the cabinet on the right was like a peripheral exhibition hall at the entrance of a movie theater.

Li Zhaowei looked around the room and admired sincerely: "It's so professional."

Li Zhaohyuk blushed with excitement, and jumped on the spot: "Yes! I have always wanted a room like this, and my dad said I would buy whatever I want! I just bought these... Brother, do you want to play?" ?”

He had really wanted a room like this since he was a kid.Li Zhaomin really dared to spend money in order to please him.It's a pity that Li Zhaowei has no interest in games at all, and shook his head: "I don't play, I can watch you play."

The younger brother forced him to sit in front of the console, and showed him the game that the elder sister bought, until the golden sunset turned into a deep blue twilight, the younger brother reluctantly put down the controller and stretched his waist: "It's great to be able to move in!" Brother, are you not coming back?"

Li Zhaowei sighed after returning to the real world from his wandering mind.

"No. Don't move. Don't bring up this topic again."

Li Zhaohyuk was so disappointed that his shoulders drooped: "Eldest sister is really nice, I don't understand why you don't like her. She came back specially during the summer vacation to ask me what university I want to go to in the future... By the way, elder sister brought back a lot of things and said We each have a share, I just forgot!"

He got up, pulled out a cardboard box from under the glass cabinet, and pushed it in front of Li Zhaowei.Seeing that Li Zhaowei was not willing to open the box himself, he had to sit on the ground, tear off the tape, and open the carton.There were so many things to see inside, Li Zhaowei raised his eyebrows.

"These are all brought back by the eldest sister." Lee Zhao Hyuk placed them on the carpet one by one.There are indeed a lot of things, there is a thick pile of admissions materials of major universities in the United States, popular novels, Marvel comics, and limited merchandise of some movie characters.There are also some gift boxed snacks.To say that they are precious is not so precious, they are all toys.There was one thing Li Zhaowei had never seen before, and it was a silver stainless steel bottle.

He picked up the bottle and tossed it up and down twice. His hand was heavy and cold, with a strange shape, like two stainless steel straws welded to a steel thermos cup.He held the bottle up to his brother's eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Li Zhaohyuk glanced at it, then shook his head blankly.Li Zhaowei turned the thing around twice, but it didn't look familiar no matter what.

Li Zhaohyuk suddenly patted the carpet: "I remember! Cream gun."

"Cream gun? What's it for?"

Now the younger brother was speechless: "... let's make some cream..."

"She brought me a butter maker from the United States." Li Zhaowei repeated, smiling ironically, and threw the butter gun back into the carton, "Give it to the wrong person, it's time to take it to the kitchen for auntie."

"No, no!" Li Zhaohyuk shook his hands hastily, "I remembered. She said this was used when they had a party. Look, there are still photos... Wait for me to link Wippin..."

"Stop it." Li Zhaowei stopped him, "There's nothing fancy about whipping cream."

Li Zhaohyuk shook his head vigorously, and showed him with a cream gun: "Put this air bomb in one end, deflate it, turn this switch, just this wrench, and the air from the air bomb will be blown into the balloon. They inhale this balloon to play."

Li Zhaowei remembered that five months ago, when they moved into the main house of the Li family and held a welcome banquet at home, Li Zhaomin took a breath from a balloon and made a very funny sound.Father, mother, and Lee Siu-hyuk were all laughing, only Li Zhaowei thought she was stupid, and people in their 20s still pretended to be Donald Duck.

"Oh, I remembered, it's the one whose voice changes after inhaling."

"It seems so." Lee Zhao Hyuk said.He repacked the cream gun and other things into the cardboard box, and pushed towards Li Zhaowei, "Sister said this one is for you."

There are at least eight boxes of matching gas bombs in the carton.Does Li Zhaomin think he likes Donald Duck very much?He is not a fool.Li Zhaowei pushed the box back and clearly refused: "I don't want it."

Li Zhaohyuk looked at him dejectedly: "Take it. Otherwise, the eldest sister should be angry again. Last time you threw away the book of Moon City, she was very angry... This time you threw away her materials again , she must go to find her father. She told me that she spent a lot of effort to buy this comic."

Li Zhaowei looked at the comics in disgust, and flipped through them twice: "Spiderman, there are so many Spidermans. How old are these children? How could she think I like this kind of stuff?"

"do not know."

It seems that Lee Zhao Hyuk didn't want to be a buffer between him and his elder sister at all. He closed the box with his mouth puffed up, without even looking at his brother: "Dad kept saying that elder sister had a heart. How did elder sister offend you? What did she say?" Everything is done very well, but you are still making trouble with her. What did you do to please the elder sister? Leave me alone at home."

Really getting angry, Li Zhaowei let out a snort: "Okay, I'll take it, I'll call a courier tomorrow, and send this pile of junk to Moon City."
