Compete for crossing

Afterwards, Huo Pao often reflected on what went wrong with him and his family.

Is it wrong to let Shanqing study blindly, or is it wrong to send him away from his hometown, or is it wrong for them to never ask Shanqing how to spend money, never to teach Shanqing's behavior, or to believe that Shanqing can discipline himself? It is wrong to expect him to be the only pillar of the family, and to expect too much from him.

He couldn't find an answer.

Everyone was unhappy that night.

Meiling didn't stop her brother from driving Shanqing out, and Huo Pao didn't chase him out either.

He was very disappointed with Shanqing, but he didn't hate him.

He can't hate it, as an elder brother, he is used to giving to his younger brother, just like what his parents often said in his ears, "He is your younger brother, let him be more", he no longer knows how to teach Shanqing a lesson.

Meiling cried for a while, cried until she ate two mouthfuls of food, took a shower and went back to her room.She didn't lose her temper with her brother, which is probably the difference in how the Ajie brothers and sisters get along with the Huo Pao brothers.

Meiling's sadness also made Ajie feel guilty, but he still believed that what he did was right.Whether it's against Meiling or against artillery.

Huo Pao followed Brother Jie to smoke on the balcony, and he didn't know what to say other than saying sorry.

Ajie said nothing, I'm sorry, it's not your fault that Shanqing became like this.

"I'm uneducated, and I don't know how to teach." Huo Pao smiled embarrassedly, and wanted to hug Jie Ge's shoulders, but his hands stopped in mid-air, and he quickly retracted them.

Brother Jie has noticed his actions, and he also understands that his obstruction of Meiling and Shanqing's love will definitely make Huo Pao think that this has something to do with his rejection of outsiders.

But Brother Jie grabbed Cannon's hand and made it clear, "Shanqing is much more educated than you, so why doesn't he think for himself?"

Cannon couldn't answer.Perhaps it is also because of Shanqing's culture that he and his parents never think that Shanqing is wrong.

Huo Pao did not study any books. When he was in his hometown, the elementary school was attended by several grades together. The supporting teacher came to the school and taught for a few minutes in the first grade, then a few minutes in the third grade, and finally a few minutes in the fifth grade.

Not only that, but he is a teacher of Chinese and mathematics. After several years of study, Artillery is at most not illiterate.

How can it compare with Shanqing.

It is this gap that makes Shanqing a role model for young people who have gone out from the countryside.How can a role model be wrong, even if it is wrong, no one thinks he is qualified to point it out.

But coming to Hill City is different.

Brother Jie from Hilly City is qualified to do this. Likewise, he is also qualified to obstruct Shanqing, to regard artillery as a temporary pastime, and not to mention whether he likes it or not, not to think about the dawn, and not about the future.

"I'm sorry," said the Cannon, "oh, I'm sorry."

Hearing Huo Pao's blind apology, Ajie felt uncomfortable.

He said don't say this sentence again, Mei Ling just fell in love once, and was it really broken?I don't know, if Shanqing insists on chasing him back, it will be considered his courage.

But this is not the only thing Huo Pao wants to apologize to. After thinking for a long time, he said with difficulty—"And you and I...I'm sorry, Brother Jie, that night..."

He couldn't say enough.What happened with Brother Jie that night was the most beautiful accident he had seen in a long time, but now there was something impure about that beauty, which made him dare not even recall it.

In fact, if you ask yourself, Ajie is not full of confidence.He didn't allow his sister to associate with Shanqing, but he and Huo Pao had that night.Is it really appropriate for him to do this?Is it really fair?he does not know.

He can understand Shanqing's desire to get rid of the stigma of the past. After all, Shanqing can pass the exam and study so well in the hilly university. The sweat and effort required are different from ordinary hilly children.

The world is not fair to artillery, nor is it fair to Shanqing.

But looking back, it seems that Ajie didn't enjoy real fairness either.

Ajie is just an ordinary kid from Hilly City, and he is also affected by his parents' identity.He also wanted to get rid of some marks, to draw a clear line, and to prove himself—but there was so little he could do, and under such circumstances, he was so powerless and insignificant.

Before leaving, Ajie hugged Cannon.In fact, he didn't want the artillery to leave, but it was expected that such a thing would happen, and it would be embarrassing for the artillery to stay.

Cannon also embraced Ajie, but the strength of his arm was hesitant, not as strong and involuntary as before.

There were not many cars on the street, and the artillery did not hit the cars, so they walked all the way to the distance.And Ajie watched him from the balcony until he could no longer be seen.

That weekend was really long, so long that Ajie didn't know how to face his sister's eyes.

Meiling was indeed very obedient. After the night of separation, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't have the symptoms that Ajie thought should be due to the rebellious period.

On the contrary, it was Ajie who told his sister in detail before and after he met Huo Pao and Shan Qing, for fear that Mei Ling would miss something and would misunderstand him, thinking that he was a domineering power.

But Meiling was too quiet. After listening, she just nodded and said, I know, brother, I know everything.

Do you understand?Ajie was worried.Sometimes being too obedient can also make people uneasy, just like a volcano has been quiet, and when it erupts one day, it will burn all the vegetation and soil.

After sending Meiling back to school on Sunday night, Ajie drove aimlessly around Hilly City.He drove all the way to the outskirts of the city, passing through the most mixed places on the four corners.Then drove all the way back, and drove to the bustling city center.

He has opened Xiaokun's police station, opened his own branch, and also opened the hospital that he thought could do a good job, and the blood station that was likely to send him there.

Eventually, he drove the car home.

He walked all the way to the place he rented, imitating the way the artillery left that day, without taking a bus or subway.

Xiao Kun called him and told him that the registration time was up, and he had to register online first, and then he had to start reading books and preparing for the exam.

Ajie blindly responded, but Xiao Kun could hear something wrong in his tone.

Xiao Kun asked, what's the matter, Ajie, has something happened?

Ajie said nothing, what can I do.

Xiao Kun was silent for a while, then asked again, "Where are you, I'll go find you."

Ajie quickly refused, "I'm really fine, you don't need to come over, I don't know where I have gone, I will go home after a while."

I thought that Xiao Kun would really not come, but unexpectedly when Ajie walked back to the rental room, he found that Xiao Kun was already waiting at his door.

The moment he saw Ajie, Xiao Kun looked sideways, as if he was deciding whether Ajie would come back by himself or with someone else.

Xiao Kun asked, "Is the artillery not with you?"

Ajie was puzzled by this question, and he asked back with a smile—"Why did he want to be with me?"

Xiao Kun didn't answer, but he didn't leave either, as if he was waiting for Ajie to open the door and ask him to come in and sit down.

Ajie didn't want Xiaokun to come in. Ever since Xiaokun made it clear that time, Ajie tried his best to avoid contact with Xiaokun alone.

If the path of forensic medicine was not the only choice, he would not accept Xiaokun's help.

It's not that he has any opinion on Xiao Kun, but he just feels too embarrassed to accept his help after rejecting Xiao Kun.

But Xiaokun didn't intend to give up just now, especially seeing Ajie becoming more and more interested in Cannon, he felt that he had a [-] chance of pulling Ajie away from Cannon.

Xiao Kun came in anyway, Ajie was too embarrassing, so he couldn't stay outside all the time no matter what.

It's just that Ajie has nothing to talk about. After pouring Xiaokun a glass of water, he said vaguely that he has to go to work tomorrow. Maybe he has to clean up and can't take care of Xiaokun.

Xiao Kun didn't beat around the bush, and just as Ajie got up, he said-"I don't know what trouble you caused, but I can guarantee that if you are really with the artillery, you will still have a lot of trouble afterwards. "

Ajie was pouring water for himself, when he shook his hand, the water splashed onto the table.

He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Kun, prevaricating, "I don't know what you're talking about."

It doesn't matter, Xiao Kun knew, so he continued on his own-"Ajie, I don't know how much you know about artillery, but I can tell you that it is Jin Ye who is in power now, and Jin Ye values ​​artillery, so he let him Became the talker of a gang. But Jin Ye is in very bad health, I don’t know how long he can last. When the gang fights, you will become the weakness of the artillery.”

"I'll say it again, I have nothing to do with him, we just know each other." Ajie placed the kettle heavily on the table and raised his voice slightly.

Xiao Kun came at the wrong time. He didn't know what Ajie was upset about. Not only could he not resolve it, but it made his troubles even worse.

What's more, now Ajie doesn't want to think about his relationship with the artillery at all.

Ajie turned around, leaned against the dining table, looked at Xiao Kun, and reiterated again—"I don't understand the problems of those gangs, and I don't want to. I think this should be a secret between the police station and the gangs. You Better not to reveal too much to me."

Ajie's tone was a little blunt, and he felt a little guilty after saying this.

Yes, it was this kind of guilt that he was afraid of.I'm afraid that after he really accepts Xiaokun's help, he will suffer from this guilt every day.

So he turned his head back again, drank a little water with his back turned to Xiao Kun, and then stared at the water glass in a daze.

Although he said that he didn't know the gang, Ajie still heard about the Jin Ye mentioned by Xiaokun, at least he had contacted him once.

Jin Ye is the leader of the largest gang in Hilly City, and he is said to be very prestigious in the gang.Both black and white have connections, so that when something happens, sometimes before the police station has a clue, Master Jin has already grasped the clues.

This is also the basis for Ajie to insist on letting the artillery stay after the artillery stabbed Uncle Leng to death.

At that time, he knew that regardless of whether the artillery returned to life or not, Lord Jin must have known the result of the mission immediately.

However, Master Jin did not intervene to help in the medical trouble incident later. It is expected that he intended to test the artillery, to see if the artillery has the ability to take care of himself, and whether it is possible to find a way out by his own strength.

Ajie doesn't like to be in contact with gangs, and he has never cared about gang struggles, but I have to say that if Huo Pao has to have a backer, Jin Ye is probably his best backer.

The meeting between Ajie and Jinye at the beginning also gave Ajie a more specific and intuitive understanding. At least from that time, it seems that Jinye is not an unreasonable person, not a person who likes to implicate innocent people, is domineering, and domineering. people.

If he had been told to never see Huo Pao again a few months ago, it would be fine, no problem, it would not be a problem at all.But tell him now—no, he doesn't think Xiaokun's words are convincing.

But obviously Xiaokun can do more than this, he can also remind Ajie—"If you are under the management of the police station, and you have to get so close to the artillery, I'm afraid I can't help you even if I want to."

Ajie's eyebrows twitched.

"What do you want me to do?" Ajie turned his head to the side and asked Xiao Kun—"The artillery rescued me from the punishment, and you made me turn my face and deny anyone?"

"It's best for you."

Xiaokun stood up from the sofa and approached Ajie, "You didn't ask him to help you. Besides, he resolved the dispute for his own sake. Don't think it's a great kindness, you really don't need it." Take those people's feelings too seriously."

Xiao Kun walked too close, so close that Ajie felt a sense of oppression.

Xiao Kun held Ajie's shoulder lightly and let him face himself.

"You should have just started, it's still too late to separate." Xiao Kun said.After turning Ajie around, his hand did not let go of Ajie's shoulder, "Don't wait until that kind of person is unwilling to score, then even if you want to break it, you won't be able to break it."

Xiao Kun's hands were getting stronger, his breath sprayed on Ajie's face, and his eyes were fixed on Ajie's. Ajie could even smell the sweat on his body and the aroma of shower gel.

Ajie has never been in a relationship, but it doesn't mean he hasn't seen others in a relationship.

He knew what Xiao Kun wanted now, after all, as long as he stood still and remained silent for a while, he could confirm his guess.

So instead of being silent, he said, "It's getting late, I really need to rest."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Xiao Kun's hand away and walked around.
