Early the next morning, they came to the hotel without luggage.

The room where Hu Aihua lives is at the end of the corridor.

The two of them stepped on the carpet at the door of the room and looked at each other silently. They didn't know whether it was good or bad to go in.Ji Tong took a breath and was about to knock on the door, Liang Yuchen grabbed his wrist and showed him a gentle smile: "Age before beauty (elders go first)."

In the end, it was my brother who knocked on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Hu Aihua turned his face to the sky, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and he didn't know who he was contacting.She didn't bring many things from China, and Ji and Liang came earlier, and their hair was messier than before.

"Mom." Ji Tong opened his mouth and called out.

Seeing his face, Hu Aihua first showed a sincere smile, then his gaze shifted to the hands they were holding, and his expression changed suddenly.

"Don't call me mom, I can't afford it."

Naturally, he didn't need to hide his true emotions when facing his own son, unlike Liang Yuchen, who remained somewhat polite.

Ji Tong was shocked by her cold tone, subconsciously wanted to let go of his hand, but after a second he slowly clenched it.

He doesn't want to let go.

However, Liang Yuchen could sense every bit of his emotion and feel it, so he took the initiative to let go of his hand, not to embarrass him.

As long as the hearts are together, it doesn't matter whether you hold hands or not.

Hu Aihua turned around and sat on the single sofa by the window, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and looked at himself in the vanity mirror instead of them.

She didn't expect Liang Yuchen to go against her will.

The two walked up to her, like two saplings, one big and one small, growing on the ground.Liang Yuchen's face sank like water, and Ji Tong's expression was cramped.

"Mom," Ji Tong's tone was more nervous than his expression, "Why don't you tell me when you come here."

Hu Aihua raised eyes full of anger to look at him: "If I tell you, will I still be able to see you today?"

Hearing her tone of voice, Ji Tong knew that today he would not be able to escape easily.His mother hasn't contacted him once since leaving China, not because she didn't care or figured it out, but because she was angry, and this anger couldn't be expressed clearly in a few words on the phone.

Hu Aihua is a strong woman who lived in a good environment since she was a child. Although she experienced a failed marriage, she never felt that there was any failure in her life, and she was used to taking the initiative in interpersonal relationships. Even with her remarried husband is also like this.She let Liang's father and son live in her own house, and paid for a new store for Liang Changlei. On the one hand, these things can be explained by her kindness, and on the other hand, it can also be explained that she is used to dominating.

At this moment, her son was disobeying her right in front of her eyes, doing so many things that she thought were too emotional and unreasonable, which both chilled her heart and made her feel embarrassed.

She was even ashamed to say the word homosexual, ashamed to use these three words to describe her son.

"Mom, don't be angry, I'll explain it to you." Ji Tong clenched his sleeves tightly.

It has been snowing all night outside the window.

Hu Aihua sat on the sofa, raised his eyes and stared at him: "Explain, I'll listen."

Ji Tong twitched the muscles in his mouth a few times, but it was difficult to speak for a while.I want to explain, but I can't talk about it.

"Let me tell." Liang Yuchen was used to taking responsibility, "I'll talk to Aunt Hu."

In the next second, someone grabbed his arm, "No need, bro, let me explain."

The relatives are his relatives, and the matter is also his business, which should be explained by him.Having shrunk his head like a turtle for a long time, Ji Tong almost forgot what was the world outside the shell.

When Hu Aihua saw the movements of the two of them, he felt dazzling and turned his head away.

"Mom," he took a small step forward, "Brother and I, no, it's me and Liang Yuchen, we are in a relationship now."

When he said this, he paused for a while, because he saw Hu Aihua on the sofa tensed up, like a female animal that was about to jump out at any time, and his eyes were only fixed on other places and not on him.

But he had to go on.

He moistened his dry lips: "He liked me before, and then I liked him too. In fact, I liked him when he liked me, but I didn't realize that I liked him Him. When I get it, I'll come to him, and then we'll—"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Aihua had already dropped the phone.Such a metal object was thrown against the wall with great force, and with a bang, it fell to the ground and the screen shattered to pieces.

Ji Tong shrugged his shoulders in fear.

"I like it, do you know what it means to like it?" She raised her head and slanted her face, staring at her son, as if she wanted to stare him out of a hole, then handed out the right cheek and patted it vigorously with her hands, "Open your mouth I like to keep my mouth shut, but you are shameless, your mother is shameless!"

"Let me tell you Ji Tong, things in this world are not as easy as you say, and the hard work of raising you is not for you to tell me these shameful bullshit likes!"

Her voice was loud and aggressive. Although she didn't have a single dirty word, Ji Tong's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't refute a word.

Besides, she was right, liking is not that simple, the relationship between Ji Tong and Liang Yuchen was originally shady.

She didn't miss a single word.

But she deliberately ignored Liang Yuchen, treating him as if he didn't exist, as if he was empty.She only targeted Ji Tong today.

It's not because Ji Tong is cowardly and can be bullied, but because Ji Tong is her only son.

"mom……"

When Ji Tong called her again, his courage had obviously lost half, and his voice was much weaker.

"Don't say that about us, if you say that...I really...I really..."

"Really what?" Hu Aihua raised his voice, "Is it really unbearable?"

"Let me tell you, I'm your mother, and I'll show you face when I say it. If people outside know about it and talk about it behind their backs, there will be more, you can't stand it now?"

"No," Ji Tong said, "I just hope we can have a good talk and stop arguing like this."

"How to talk, what to talk about? Aren't you here for a showdown today?"

She sneered, turned her face, and looked at Liang Yuchen: "You are an elder brother. I thought you should know the seriousness, so I went to you first yesterday. I didn't expect you to be good. I told your father to come and join me in the army. You know I don’t know, he was so angry that he quarreled with me and asked me why I didn’t tell him? Hmm? Tell me why, why? Because I’m so ashamed for you, I can’t open my mouth!”

Liang Yuchen was over 17 meters tall when he was 1.8 years old. Now he is nearly 30 years old and he is a mature man.It's a pity that the advantages of quick thinking and sophistication can't be used at the moment. Facing the elders, there is no other way except to understand them.

"Aunt Hu, I'm with Tongtong. It's normal to study and work. Nothing will change. He is still your son."

"Don't do this, I'd rather not have such a son." Hu Aihua's patience was obviously at its limit, and he cut off the conversation directly, "Although he is not sensible, you are already an adult, let's open the skylight and speak plainly."

"This kind of relationship between the two of you, at best, you have to cover it up, at worst, it's shameful. Yes, maybe you don't care now, and you think everything will be fine when you two are together, but in the future? Can you guarantee you Don’t care about it for the rest of your life? Can you guarantee that you can stand being talked about for decades and being pointed at everywhere you go, saying that you are brothers, incest, men and homosexuals?!”

The tone is sharp and the words are harsh.After the conversation, the room was so quiet that dripping water could be heard.

Ji Tong's face turned red and white, his eyes drooping and he remained silent.

Liang Yuchen didn't agree, he just felt that he was so stubborn, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Hu Aihua glanced at them: "So while I was still willing to reason with you, the two of them broke up immediately. I bought two air tickets, and Ji Tong will go back to China with me today."

When Ji Tong heard this, he shouted "No", just like last night.

Hu Aihua stood up abruptly: "Why not?"

"I can't break up with my brother, we were just together, we—"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the face.Hu Aihua's right hand, which had removed its nails, slapped the left side of his face with a slap, and instantly staggered him.

"It's the other way around!"

Ji Tong was dizzy from her beating, and the left side of his face was burning like a layer of flesh was scraped off. Tears filled his eyes immediately, and he covered his face and panted heavily.

"Don't do it!" Liang Yuchen didn't have time to think about it, and once again stretched out his arms in front of Ji Tong in a hurry, but Hu Aihua grabbed his horizontal arm and slapped him directly on the face.

"You still have the face to protect him? I will slap you next time!"

She used [-]% of her strength this time, Liang Yuchen was unprepared and had no time to hide, he was hit on the face, his cheekbone was directly scratched by the ring on her ring finger, bleeding immediately.

"Mom!" Ji Tong screamed and rushed over.

"I really want to break my head, but I can't figure out why I, Hu Aihua, can't forgive you." She was trembling with anger, stabbing Liang Yuchen in the eyes, and shook out every sentence of fierce words, "You father and son started from entering my house. I treated you heart and soul, served you with delicious food and drinks, and almost drew my blood for you to drink, but it turned out that you were fine, and instead brought my son to do this kind of thing, what are you pretending in your heart, Liang Yuchen? What? Ah? Do you still have a conscience?!"

"Mom!" Ji Tong tremblingly stepped forward and grabbed her arms on both sides, two tears rolled down his face, "Don't hit my brother, hit me, hit me!"

Hu Aihua was restrained by him but moved forward desperately, stretched out his left hand to pat Liang Yuchen's head, crying and shouting: "I'll kill you heartless white-eyed wolf, I'll kill you ignorant thing!"

She was mad with anger, and the truth, lies, anger, and the truth came out of her brain.

Liang Yuchen's back was stiff and painful.He didn't move at all, but his upper body dangled from being pushed and beaten by her.

"Mom, Mom!" Ji Tong knelt down with a plop, and cried hoarsely as he tugged at her trouser legs, "Please don't hit my brother, it has nothing to do with him, I came to find him myself, and I like him! "

"Get up for me!"

Hu Aihua kicked Ji Tong, trying to kick him up, but found that he was carrying him dead, and then kicked several times, but Liang Yuchen was protecting him, and kicked all of Liang Yuchen's abdomen, and the hard bone kicked the soft abdomen with a loud sound .In the end, all the hotel slippers were kicked out, and after all the strength in the body had been vented, he took two steps back, leaning against the sofa with bare feet and gasping for breath: "I'll kill you two shameless things..."

Ji Tong was hit on the left shoulder several times, the black down jacket was kicked askew, and he knelt on the ground crying hoarsely, both afraid and uncomfortable.

"Hmm..." Liang Yuchen groaned while holding his belly. The coat that was originally on his body was torn half open, the blood on his face flowed to the corner of his jaw, and he rubbed a lot of it with his hand. The back of his hand was bright red, and his body But still blocking Ji Tong tightly: "Aunt Hu, show mercy."

Hu Aihua was panting unevenly, and slowly raised the hand that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, his eyes seemed to hate him, and his index finger pointed straight at him.

"Just tell me one sentence, whether to stop or not!"

Today she will not give up until she reaches her goal.Liang Yuchen's heart stagnated, but he still said: "I still hope you can agree to us being together."

Snapped!

The index finger pointing at him suddenly turned into a five-finger slap on his face, as if to disperse all his arrogance and stubbornness.But the word "stubborn" is actually serious, what he said was only from the heart, he really couldn't do without Ji Tong.No matter how far others go, his heart will always be on Ji Tong.He has lived for his father and his life for 28 years, and now he wants to live for himself. Is this too much?

Hu Aihua took a breath, then turned to look at his biological son: "What about you?"

Ji Tong raised his head, with tears running down his face, he took two steps forward and fell on her lap: "Mom... please don't break us up... I finally found my brother..."

It has been a lot of hardships to get here, but the happiness is short-lived, and the snow that started from the night of the hot spring has not stopped.

Hu Aihua shook his upper body, said three good words in succession, two lines of tears flowed out of his face immediately, he stared at them with empty eyes for a long time, then suddenly stood up and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Ji Tong was afraid that she would hit Liang Yuchen with something, so he knelt down in fright and did not dare to get up, but his eyes followed her all the time.

She stopped for a moment, then rushed straight to the bathroom, picked up the disposable razor on the side of the transparent glass, and wanted to cut her own wrist!

"You keep going, I will stop!"

"mom--!"

The two people in the room were shocked, and Ji Tong got up and rushed into the bathroom to hug her from behind: "Mom, Mom! Speak up if you have something to say! Don't do anything stupid!"

Liang Yuchen blocked the door and wanted to grab the knife from the front. One of them called her mother and the other called her Aunt Hu, their voices were full of fear.But she was not afraid at all, she seemed determined to force her to death, regardless of their obstruction, her right hand held the plastic knife handle firmly, and her left hand desperately tried to break free from Ji Tong's restraint and move towards the blade.

"Mom—" Ji Tong was so frightened that his whole body trembled, the blood on his face faded, he hugged her arms tightly and did not dare to let go.

"Let me go!" Hu Aihua waved his knife and shouted, "I'm not your son, you're not my mother, I'm dead and I'm out of sight!"

"mom!"

"Aunt Hu, if you have something to say, please put down the knife!"

The only mother excitedly wanted to cut his wrists in front of him, Ji Tong was terrified and shouted hoarsely, if his mother really rowed on impulse, then he would never have a mother again.

"Mom, don't leave me behind!"

"Don't be like this, please put down the knife and let's talk about it!"

"Mom, I beg you, please, as long as you are well, I will promise you whatever you say!"

Liang Yuchen who was on the side seized the right moment and was about to grab the knife. Hearing these words, his heart skipped a beat and he almost grabbed the blade.

Ji Tong's eyes were full of tears, and he was still crying: "I promise you anything!"

Hu Aihua was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hugged his son tightly, with a joyful expression on his face: "Good boy! You promise mom, go back with mom, and don't be stupid again from now on."

"As long as you listen to mom, how can mom be willing to die? Mom also wants to see you get married and have children, and live happily ever after."

"Tongtong, did you hear that?"

Huairou's words lingered in his ears, Ji Tong's whole body was hot, he was hugged by her like a log, his heart was ups and downs in just a few minutes, beating abnormally fast, his eyes turned black, and he was still spinning but spinning.

Another lifetime, how many lifetimes do I have, and which lifetime is in my hand?

"Are you agreeing or not?!" Hu Aihua didn't give him a moment of hesitation.

His body was shaken, and he turned his head in a daze to look at Liang Yuchen, to see what his brother meant.Unexpectedly, just halfway through the turn, Liang Yuchen's expression was already seen in the mirror.

Liang Yuchen hung his arms and looked at him through the mirror.The deep eyes that were once full of tenderness, tolerance, or anger now only have complex emotions that have never appeared before. Apart from fear and confusion, there is more despair.

The person in the mirror is Liang Yuchen, who is absolutely unfamiliar. His face is so thin that his cheekbones are high and half of his face is covered with blood. He will be injured, vulnerable, and timid. He is afraid of losing Ji Tong. He cannot see Ji Tong's face, so he looks for him in the mirror. It's like looking for a life-saving rope in an abandoned well.

"Tongtong." Hu Aihua patted him on the back, "Do you promise mom?"

Ji Tong was shocked, looked away and shook his head, but he was still a little timid when he spoke.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I can promise anything, but this one thing... I... I have to be with my brother."

My brother had already made a choice last night.It used to be affection, but now it is arrogance and family affection. Liang Yuchen has given everything for him, and has nothing to give anymore. He is naked in the face of harm and naked in the face of prying eyes.

So of course he couldn't agree, he had to help Liang Yuchen put on the clothes of dignity, and go out with Liang Yuchen in the rain of swords.

"Don't agree?" Hu Aihuawan didn't expect him to react like this, the expression on his face changed from surprise to grief: "Are you going to give your mother a way out?"

"No!" Ji Tong hurriedly shook his head, "No! How could I—"

"If it's not you, agree!"

"Just this one thing," Ji Tong looked at her earnestly, begging, "Mom, I can't promise you this one thing, I just want to be with my brother for the rest of my life."

Hu Aihua was stunned for two seconds when he heard the words, and then showed determination, and shouted: "Okay! I will let you be together!" Then he raised the knife in his hand high in front of his eyes, and slashed fiercely at his wrist .In the blink of an eye, Ji Tong yelled "Mom", before he had time to think about it, he stretched out his arm to grab it, but his wrist went straight under the knife and was pulled diagonally by the blade for a long time!

"Tong Tong!"

Amid Liang Yuchen's urgent cry, the inside of Ji Tong's wrist was cut open and blood flowed across the face. The moment a small blood vessel ruptured, bright red blood spurted out and splashed onto Hu Aihua's face who was close at hand, and then dripped onto the dark carpet.

"Tongtong—!"

Ji Tong looked at the blood gurgling from his hands, and he was frightened and dumbfounded, with a numb expression on his face.After three seconds of stillness, Hu Aihua let go of the hand holding the knife, screamed and hugged her only son madly, and fell limp to the ground: "Son, son!"

"Get a towel!" Liang Yuchen snatched up and passed Ji Tong's back with one hand, picked him up and walked out, halfway through, he turned back and yelled at Hu Aihua: "Get a clean towel out, hurry up!"

Hu Aihua came back to his senses after being yelled at by him, responded in panic twice, scrambled to get a towel and followed out.

He gently put the person on the bed and lay down, fearing that Hu Aihua would not be able to explain clearly, he used his mobile phone to call an ambulance. Wrapping your wrist with a towel beside the bed, you asked, "Tongtong, Tongtong, how do you feel?"

The pain of tendon tearing is unimaginable to ordinary people. Ji Tong's forehead is full of cold sweat, his teeth are trembling, his eyes are wide open, he looks up at Hu Aihua who is holding him, shouts "Mom...", then slowly turns his head to look at Liang Yuchen, " Brother... bleeding... I'm afraid..."

Liang Yuchen held his intact left hand in one hand, the tiger's mouth was tightly connected, and wiped his sweat with the other hand: "Don't be afraid, brother is here."

When he opened his mouth, his voice trembled more than Ji Tong's.

"Tongtong, Tongtong..." Hu Aihua was already in chaos, the arms holding his son's right hand kept trembling, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

"The ambulance will be here soon." Liang Yuchen stroked his forehead as usual, feeling his soft bangs caressing his palm, and felt the pain in his heart, but he still said, "Hold on, the injury is not serious, no Something will happen."

Ji Tong leaned in the arms of the two of them, with his legs curled up, his body seemed cold and afraid, trembling, he sucked in his breath lightly, opened his mouth after a long while, and said weakly: "I won't just So dead..."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, pretending that he was just making a harmless joke, not because he was afraid of death.

Hu Aihua was shaken all over, his face was as pale as paper, and two lines of tears rolled down: "Son, don't be afraid, with mom here, and Yuchen here, you will be fine."

"Yeah." Liang Yuchen's eyes were red, and he wrapped his left hand with his hands and touched it to his lips, "Stop talking, save your energy."

The corner of Ji Tong's mouth was stiff and he moved his chin slightly: "Okay..."

Facing life and death suddenly, he still has a lot to say in his ignorant state, but they are all hypocritical, so it's worth noting.

Ten minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived, but it was inconvenient to get up alone, so Liang Yuchen simply picked him up and went out. Hu Aihua didn't even have time to put on his shoes and dashed forward to press the elevator desperately.

After getting in the car, the doctor wanted to check the depth of the wound to see if the artery was damaged. When Ji Tong uncovered the towel, he was timid, so Liang Yuchen protected his head and said, "Don't look."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the towel was removed, some blood flowed out again, and he could feel it himself.

His eyelashes trembled violently, he endured the pain and turned his face towards his elder brother, pursed his mouth, stared at him blankly, and said quietly: "Brother, we are so unlucky... When you like me, I don't like you, I wanted to save my mother, but I put myself in it again..."

After speaking, tears welled up suddenly.

Hu Aihua squatted on the other side, with his forehead touching his cheek, and couldn't stop crying, "It's all my mother's fault, it hurt you..."

Ji Tong wanted to shake his head, but he didn't even have much strength left to shake his head, and repeated in his mouth: "It's really unlucky..."

He thought he was dying, and he felt a lot of unwillingness and reluctance in his heart, but his brother didn't let him say it, so he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't know who to blame, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

It's unlucky, they are brothers, but they like each other but they can't be together well.

Liang Yuchen was agitated by his tone, couldn't hold back anymore, leaned over and kissed his eyes.

"It's not unlucky. It's my luck that I met you. It's the best luck I can wish for."

He raised his head slightly: "Really?"

Liang Yuchen said: "Of course it is true."

Only then did he lay down firmly, his heart suddenly settled.With the passage of time, as the fear and tears escaped, there was even some pride in the deepest part of his heart——

At least this time beautybeforeage.
