Since that day, He Xi's physical condition has not been very good. He can't eat or sleep, and he is in a daze every day as if isolated from the world. He is in a trance and always asks Hu Li what is the date.

Hu Li always took the trouble to answer him, coaxing him to eat and sleep. He took a long vacation and took care of He Xi's basic necessities every day, but it was useless. He Xi's condition did not improve at all.

Soon, Christmas Eve was coming, He Zheng's verdict came down, compensation and three years in prison, this was the best possibility Hu Li could win, but he didn't dare to tell He Xi.

Hu Li originally planned to take him to see a psychiatrist after Christmas. He felt that his brother's condition was very bad and he had to rely on external treatment.

On Christmas Eve, Hu Li went out to get the Christmas tree he had ordered in advance, and to visit a psychiatrist.

He chatted with the doctor for a long time, and the doctor's preliminary analysis was: post-traumatic stress disorder.

The doctor gave him a lot of advice, and he took careful notes. It was evening when he said goodbye, and he hurried to get the Christmas tree, and it was dark when he got home.

He was afraid that He Xi would starve, so he bought his favorite crab roe soup dumpling and took it home.

The whole house was pitch black, the lights were not turned on, Hu Li was afraid for no reason, he dropped his things and went looking for someone, the living room, kitchen, bathroom, gym, study room, bedroom, there was no sign of He Xi.

Hu Li was frightened into a cold sweat, and ran to the yard to search all over, but still couldn't find it. For the first time, he had the illusion that he was dead and his brain would not turn, and he was numb after panicking.

He stood up from the ground, just ran too fast and fell down, his trousers were dirty, what should he do now?Yes, change clothes and go to the police station to call the police.

He lost his brother, he lost his brother, the phrase kept ringing in his head, making him dizzy and sick to his stomach.Suddenly his whole body lost strength, Hu Li squatted on the ground, buried his head and cried silently.

He just wanted to cry, but he couldn't delay too long. He lifted his heavy feet upstairs and opened the wardrobe.

As a result, the person he was looking for curled up in the closet and fell asleep holding his clothes.

He Xi can no longer recall what happened when Hu Li left for a few hours, because it was too scary, like the whole world turned black, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the corner. He searched for Hu Li all over the world, but he couldn't find it. , he was desperate and angry, where did this stinky brother go!

In the end, he could only hide in the closet to avoid the malice around him.

"Brother?" Hu Li calmed down. The moment he saw He Xi, his quiet heart resumed beating. He wanted to be as gentle as possible, but his mouth choked up, "Why did you come here?"

He Xi opened his eyes, there was finally light in this world, because Hu Li came back, and when he returned to him, he couldn't help scolding: "Where did you go?"

"I'm going to buy a Christmas tree." Hu Li rubbed his head and carried him out, "Today is Christmas."

He Xi grabbed his shoulders, buried her head in his neck, and breathed desperately: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You were still sleeping when I left." Hu Li put him on the side of the bed, half-kneeled in front of him, took his hand to support his face, with a devout gesture, "I don't want to disturb you."

"No." He Xi lowered his head and looked at him, feeling suddenly sad, "Don't leave me."

It was like years ago when little Hu Li begged him not to ignore him, feeling helpless and afraid.He Xi seemed to finally understand that kind of feeling, the hot, helpless, unrequited feeling, the feeling that the more you love, the deeper you bury.

He withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, and stammered, "I'm a little hungry."

Hu Li was happy, because this was the time when his brother had been emotional for a few days, and he was no longer numb and indifferent, but would blame him and get angry.

"I bought you soup dumplings. It's downstairs. Come down and eat." Hu Li stood up and found slippers for him. "I'm going to fix the Christmas tree."

He Xi sat on the sofa and quietly ate soup dumplings. Hu Li looked at the instructions and played with the two-meter-high Christmas tree. He just wanted to put it in the living room to enliven the atmosphere, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, so he could only resign himself to his fate and busy up and down. Arrange lanterns and hanging decorations.

"Brother, which one do you like?" Hu Li had already placed the small pendant. The five-pointed star above his head had two options of gold and red. He turned around and asked He Xi.

He Xi put down the bowl and thought for a while: "Golden."

"It's the same as I thought." Hu Li smiled and winked at him.

"Hu Li." He Xi called him to stop.

"What's the matter?" Hu Li had just hung up the star and was still standing on the stool, so he could only turn his head sideways.

"Give me that light blue ball." He Xi stretched out her finger, "It's at your waist."

Hu Li quickly took it off and handed it to him: "Why, do you want a toy? How about I play games with you?"

"No." He Xi shook his head, he held the ball and played with it in his hand, "I just think this color is very beautiful, just like your eyes."

"..." Hu Li also held the ball, wrapping his big hand around his small hand, not letting him move, "Then tell me, my eyes are more beautiful or this ball is more beautiful."

"Your eyes." He Xi raised his head and looked at him. He looked at Hu Li's eyes very seriously, as if seeing a distant place, "I have always thought you are very beautiful, especially these eyes. , sometimes I feel like a pure lake, filled with misty mist, and sometimes like a bright and quiet sky, spotless blue, clean and transparent."

Hu Li chuckled, and lowered his head to touch his forehead with his own: "I didn't know that my brother was so talented before."

"You said you love me." He Xi still looked directly into his eyes, "Are you serious?"

Those talking blue eyes have changed again. They are no longer lakes or sky, but sapphires, shining with dazzling light, bright and noble, so beautiful.

However, He Xi took a closer look and realized that those beautiful rays of light were all refracted by Hu Li's tears, the beauty of despair.

"Do you know?" Hu Li cupped his face, "Know my feelings for you."

"Yeah." He Xi nodded, he was very calm, as if he suddenly understood a lot of things, and acted like a brother, "Actually, I should have realized it earlier, but I seem to be very good at playing stupid, so I have been turning a blind eye. "

"Do you feel sick?" Hu Li tightened his fingers, "Are you planning to abandon me again?"

He Xi shook her head: "Every time I say I don't want you, I'm lying to you. I'm just angry."

Hu Li couldn't stop the tears that flowed down, and they quickly gathered into a river, flowing into He Xi's heart. Just like how he defended Hu Li countless times when he was a child, he also chose to defend him this time.

He Xi raised his head slightly, and touched Hu Li's lips. He touched them tentatively, to feel the soft and tender lips.

Hu Li was only stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

He is like a hungry wolf that has never had enough to see a piece of meat, like a traveler who has trekked for several days in the desert and encounters an oasis. The countless longings in his heart and the sweet dreams of thousands of nights have finally come true.

He didn't even have time to think about why He Xi did this, and he didn't have time to think about what to do next, he just completely followed his instinct and inner desire and kissed He Xi.

The two had already changed positions, Hu Li was sitting on the sofa, He Xi was kneeling on his lap, they were still lingering, under the lights of the room, the ambiguity was boundless.

The clock was ticking, and He Xi quickly noticed the changes in Hu Li. He was shy, knowing that everything was provoked by his own impulse, but he didn't know how to end it.

He didn't know why, but at that moment, looking into that blue eyes, he wanted to do that, so he did it.He is a frank character who is not good at making excuses, so he feels ashamed and ashamed at this moment.

He Xi pushed Hu Li away, both of them were panting, something was about to explode, and they were forced to suppress it, He Xi adjusted his breathing, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Hu Li's face: "How old are you, why are you so angry?" Still crying?"

"I was just scared." Hu Li stopped his hand and put it on his lips to kiss, "Because I have had such thoughts for my brother since I was very young. I have always hidden it very well. I am afraid that you will find out and be hated by you. But you obviously don't know anything, why do you still hate me and alienate me?"

Hu Li lowered his eyelids, full of grievances: "So I'm very scared, if you know my thoughts, will you hate me more, alienate me even more, won't you even talk to me?"

"No." He Xi couldn't stand him like this, and subconsciously coaxed, "I don't hate you, I just feel that you are hiding things from me, and I am very unhappy. In fact, I knew you were with Si Rui at that time. I should Jealous, but I'm not at all, I'm just very sad, very sad, because you lied to me... So I think my feelings for you are deeper than for her or anyone else. "

"How dare I lie to you, silly brother." Hu Li said sincerely.

"You'd better not!" He Xi pulled out her hand and scraped his straight nose like she did when she was a child.

"Then brother, why did you kiss me?"

"I don't know." He Xi was still lying in his arms, her whole body was weak, even her bones were soft, "If you want to kiss, I will kiss you."

Hu Li was about to start teasing, but the man hurriedly stopped him.

"You think I'm you? You don't dare to say what you like. You only talk secretly when I fall asleep. Who can hear it? What's the point?" He Xi still spoke unforgivingly.

"Didn't you hear that?" Hu Li chuckled, reaching out to lift his chin, preventing him from escaping, "Brother also pretended not to know."

"I..." He Xi argued with a blushing face, "I'm different from you, anyway, I'm more upright than you."

"Okay." Hu Li didn't argue with him, because he was so happy that his brother came back, and he came back with love for him. Is there anything more important than this?

Hu Li knew that he was thin-skinned and loved face, so he was not in a hurry to attack. Anyway, he had a lifetime to spend with him. He kissed He Xi's forehead and said seriously, "Brother, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas." He Xi replied.

His heart has never been so peaceful and comfortable, full of safe and beautiful power. It turns out that Hu Li is so important in his life, much more important than he imagined.
