farmer and fox

He Xi woke up from the dream with a headache. He was in a daze and didn't know where he was. He didn't wake up until he saw the photo standing beside the bed. He was on Hu Li's bed.

It was a sunny day outside, and only a small part of the bright sunlight shone into the room through the curtains. He Xi sat up, his brain finally had the ability to think, and suddenly remembered Hu Li carrying him home last night, and the injury to his right hand.

He hurriedly put on his shoes and went downstairs, the tall boy was leaning on the kitchen counter drinking coffee, he didn't expect He Xi to wake up so soon, slightly surprised, put down the coffee cup: "Brother, why don't you sleep more when you wake up so early? "

Seeing his calm face, He Xi pretended to be fine and asked, "Is your hand feeling better?"

"Yeah." Hu Li turned his right wrist, "It wasn't serious at first, it was fine last week."

"That's good." He Xi grabbed a chicken coop, a little embarrassed, "I want to wash up, do you have any spare daily necessities at home?"

"Yes, it's in the bathroom. It's ready for you." Hu Li paused, then turned to wash his hands, "I'll make breakfast first, what do you want to eat?"

He Xi was not used to this peaceful way of getting along, so he left the sentence "casually" and hurried upstairs.

Hu Li is impeccable in every aspect. Since he was a child, he has shown intelligence and super hands-on ability that can be learned quickly, not to mention the experience of living alone as an adult, which gave him full marks for his home skills.

He Xi ate the pancake in his hand, and wanted to cover it up: "I was drunk last night, and you didn't know when you came to pick me up. I didn't do anything strange, did I?"

Hu Li looked as usual: "No, you are very good when you are drunk."

"Cough." He Xi choked on the inexplicable praise, but he didn't dare to get angry at all, "That's good."

"Hmm." Hu Li was noncommittal, and handed him the soy milk.

He Xi was about to run away after dinner, he didn't know how to face Hu Li, and decided to bury last night's accident in his heart.

"Brother is leaving so early?" Hu Li glanced at the clock on the wall, "Anyway, it's the National Day holiday, why don't you stay with me?"

He Xi pursed her lips and was about to refuse.

Hu Li said again: "Just take it as a reward for taking you home last night."

Having said all of this, if the refusal seems too unreasonable, He Xi put down the sneakers he just picked up, and obediently walked back to the living room: "What are you playing?"

"The latest game, it's about fighting zombies." Hu Li wiped the last plate, "Try it?"

"Yes!" He Xi is from a game company, is very keen on games, and is a fan of Two-dimensional comics. The new game is simply not too appealing to him, "Where is it? I'll start it first."

"It's in the cabinet on the far left of the TV cabinet." Hu Li washed the stainless steel knife and fork, and his slender white hands were very gentle in the water.

"Oh, I'll look for it." He Xi opened the cabinet.

The game is packed in a light gray box, why not understand, is it necessary to pack it so beautifully?Until he opened the wrapping paper and saw the card inside.

It wasn't any ambiguous content, it was nothing more than polite and polite words of thanks, but the word "Yan Jiu" was signed, which made him feel a little dazzling.

Lost in the mood and didn't want to play at all, He Xi stood up and walked directly to the entrance, just in time to meet Hu Li who came over after washing the dishes, he passed Hu Li straight and was grabbed.

"What's wrong?" Before Hu Li had time to take off his apron, he looked like a gentle family man, "Who made you angry."

"I'm not playing anymore." He Xi said, "I'm not in the mood anymore."

"Why are you not in the mood?" Hu Li grabbed him and explained softly, "Did you not find the game? It was in the gift box. It was given by someone two days ago. You can find it when you open it."

"I found it." He Xi was annoyed, "You should unwrap the presents from others. It's impolite for others to open them casually."

Hu Li chuckled, thinking his brother's angry look was cute, he resisted and pushed him into the living room: "You are not someone else, my things are yours, and you represent me when you tear them down."

"Huh, you're a good liar." He Xi said unforgivingly, but felt much better in her heart, so she obediently followed him to the living room.

This is a 3D game, the background is that the whole population is infected with zombies, and the protagonist carries antibodies, and the clichéd story of overcoming obstacles and saving family members.

But the game music and background are very atmospheric. Although the content of the story is a bit monotonous, the overall experience is not bad with the exciting fighting scenes and a variety of weapon choices.

He Xi and Hu Li played two rounds, and after being cannon fodder twice, they gradually got on the road, and they became addicted to it after a while.

The battle was raging, Hu Li's cell phone rang, he frowned and pinched it off, and it rang again after a while.

"Let's find a place to cover, you answer the phone first." He Xi was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took the lead to walk into the ruins, "You stay here and hide, I will operate alone."

Hu Li put down the handle, picked up the phone to read the notes, frowned and got up and walked to the balcony.

"Hey?"

"Hey, Xiao Li." The voice of the person on the other end was obviously aged, but his tone was respectful, "I haven't received the sponsorship money for this month yet, have you forgotten?"

Hu Li squinted his eyes, looked back at He Xi who was concentrating on it, and lowered his voice: "Uncle He, didn't you say that you had made an important breakthrough in research last month, that you had already got a new sponsor, and you don't need my investment?"

"That's right, but there are still discussions over there, and there won't be any results so soon." The people over there faltered, "You also know that research is full of unknowns, and now it is a critical moment, and the capital chain cannot be broken. Ah, Xiao Li."

Hu Li was tired of hearing his rhetoric, from "to attract investment" to "research breakthrough", and then to "this is the last time", he used these excuses back and forth tirelessly for two years.

And he didn't know where to go. He knew that the money would go nowhere, and there would be no return at all, but he invested more than 1000 million in it.

If Hu Xue knew that he was so hard-earned about his hard-earned inheritance, the coffin boards would probably not be able to hold it down.

"Uncle He, my money didn't come from the strong wind. I couldn't hear any sound when I cast it, so I was also very embarrassed." Hu Li smiled, "If it weren't for the fact that you are an elder, you raised me Man, I really can't be such a fool."

"How can it be said that you are being taken advantage of!" The other side was anxious to please, and began to play the emotional card, "We are a family, once the research is successful, it will be ten times and a hundred times rewarded. As the largest investor in the project, the rewards are all you. Yes, Xiaoli."

Hu Li is really about to die of laughter. He is obviously a researcher who has received higher education. How did he degenerate like this?Every day, I have big dreams of Spring and Autumn.

"Okay, don't talk about this." He interrupted coldly, "I will give the money, but I'm not sure if it's the last time, I advise you to find investment soon."

"Hey, yes, yes." The other side was instantly elated.

Hu Li hangs up the phone, rubs his eyebrows and ponders, he can't be heartless, because they are He Xi's parents, and he will continue to create the illusion of a happy family for He Xi, even though he has to give 100 million to He Zheng's bottomless pit every month project.

Hu Li is very smart. At the age of 12, he realized that the Ho couple's overly caring attitude towards him was even better than their own son. At first, he was only grateful and touched, but any false feelings must be exposed occasionally. On the day of the flaw, he once thought that this layer of falsehood was sympathy for his poor background, but he didn't expect it to be just greedy desire.

Hu Xue gave Liu Ximei a large sum of money in return for raising Hu Li.

He Zheng is a biologist. At the beginning, he did his own research without fault, but for some reason, he gradually deviated from his original intention. Later, he actually wanted to research a drug that delays aging, hoping to increase his popularity and make a fortune.

Liu Ximei didn't support it at first, but she had money but no job, and was instigated by her husband every day, and she began to have dreams. Hu Xue's money could have kept them well-fed for the rest of their lives, but she was thrown into research in an instant and disappeared.

After squandering the money, the two were desperate, and finally put their minds on Hu Xue's inheritance. That huge amount of property could help them achieve their wishes and create miracles.

But its legal heir is Hu Li, and the two of them were determined to please Hu Li desperately, trying to plant a seed in Hu Li's little heart, but in the end they failed to take root and were uprooted by Hu Li.

When he was 18 years old, after meeting the lawyer in charge of the estate, he suddenly understood the illusion created by this family and the cold and cruel reality behind it.

"Xiao Li, we are your parents. Now that you have money, we have to share it together. We are not greedy, as long as half of it is enough." Liu Ximei said to him at that time.

Hu Li calculated those numbers and found it ironic and funny, he asked with a smile: "Then what can Auntie Liu give me?"

Liu Ximei was stunned, she didn't understand Hu Li's meaning, and didn't understand his attitude: "What does Xiao Li mean by that?"

Hu Li showed a smiling face with an innocent look: "When uncle and aunt can give me something, let's exchange it again."

He wasn't too sad, he could have torn his face on the spot, but in the end he chose to save face for everyone.

Because he knows that He Xi is innocent, only his elder brother protects and loves him because he is him, not because of the huge wealth behind him, those cold numbers, deliberately trying to curry favor with him and control him.

Although this brother is grumpy, nervous and clumsy, his love for him is serious.

This is the last warmth Hu Li felt for this cold world, the only human touch left in his bitter and dramatic life, and the only hope he saw when he was desperate.So no one knows how much He Xi is in his heart, no one knows how deep and persistent his feelings for He Xi are.

In the end, he pretended he didn't know anything, agreed to fund He Zheng's project, and promised to give Liu Ximei pocket money. He was not out of gratitude, but just to maintain a certain superficial balance and create a happy life for his brother.

Now he is a little tired, because he knows that people's greed is unrestrained.

Hu Li looked as usual, and sat back beside He Xi.

He Xi waited a little impatiently: "Who? It's been so long."

Hu Li picked up the handle with a smile, and moved the character in his hand: "Students from school, ask me about my thesis."

"Oh." He Xi replied and stopped caring.

"Brother." After a while, Hu Li said, "Do you plan to move out?"

"Move out?" He Xi was puzzled, "Where did you move out from? At home, why would you move out if you lived well?"

"Don't you want to own your own house?" Hu Li looked at him sideways, "I can give you one as your 25th birthday present."

"You're crazy!" He Xi was shocked, "You really think you have money, so burn it?"

"I thought you wanted your own space." Hu Li said lightly.

"I want it, but I don't want you to give it to me. I want to buy it myself, and I've been working hard to save money." He Xi curled her lips, "Anyway, a rich second generation like you won't understand this sense of accomplishment."

"You have taken care of me for so long, I don't think it's okay to give you a house." Hu Li said.

"Stop it, taking care of you is one thing, and buying a house is another. It doesn't matter. I said that I am willing to take care of you. Don't be grateful." He Xi pressed the handle and frowned.

He is a silly brother who doesn't want anything, dares to love, dares to hate, and is always open and aboveboard, but his parents want to drink every drop of blood in his body.

This made Hu Li feel powerless, life is really ironic.
