Zhenming District is neither far nor near, and usually takes nearly an hour to get there by car.Fortunately, today is the Spring Festival, the road is very empty, there is no traffic jam at all.

So it took him four or ten minutes to get downstairs.

The people in the family naturally welcomed him very much.It seems that every time Yu Shulian comes home, he will be greeted unanimously and simultaneously by the old and young in the family.But although he had a smile on his face, he was not necessarily happy in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know what to do, but that his family is like this... It seems that he is regarded as a distinguished guest who comes to visit, not a family member.

This year Xiaofei's parents are also celebrating the New Year together at home.Because of Jing Shuo's illness, Xiao Fei's family also helped her a lot.I have to say that Jing Shuo's marriage to Xiao Fei is really a blessing in his previous life.For Jing Shuo's serious illness, not only did Xiaofei's natal family not feel far away from her, on the contrary, they did their best to contribute people, effort and money.Jing Shuo is not like their son-in-law, but more like a son.

A family of seven or eight people gathered together, but it was quite lively.

Xiaofei's natal parents have long heard that Jing Shuo has a powerful and capable elder brother, and now they are even more shocked when they see it.In fact, Jing Shuo's appearance is already handsome enough. At that time, his daughter was able to marry Jing Shuo, let alone being envied by others.Looking at this elder brother at this time, I can understand that sentence better: A mountain is taller than a mountain.

The two sons of this little Fei's mother-in-law's family are really very upright.

Yu Shulian greeted the elders politely, and put the presents on the table.These are not cheap supplements.Xiaofei's parents liked Yu Shulian very much, so they dragged him to talk for a while.

Although Yu Shulian doesn't like to have too close contacts with people, he is not a person who holds it in his hands, especially when it comes to elders.He basically coaxed the two old people to be extremely happy without any effort.

"What does Xiaoshu do?" Xiaofei's mother was very enthusiastic.

"Interior design."

"Oh, I understand! You are usually asked for help in the design of houses, right?"

"Yes, that's understandable."

"Oh, that's amazing!" Xiaofei's mother smiled, "Little Shu, how old are you this year?"

"After the new year, I will be 33."

"Are you married?"

Yu Shu paused and smiled: "No."

"Is there an object?"

"..." Yu Shulian was taken aback, wondering if he wanted to introduce someone to him again?

"You young people are all focused on your work and don't think about your own problems. This is not okay... Hey, I have an old sister who dances in the square. Her daughter just returned from studying abroad, and now..."

really.

"Mom, you eat this orange! It's so sweet!" Xiaofei was almost sweating when she heard it.The parents of the family are not very aware of the awkward relationship between the family members, and they want to introduce someone to others as soon as the warm-hearted problem comes up.She was afraid of making her elder brother unhappy, so she hurriedly stopped her mother's words.

Seeing her daughter winking at her, Xiaofei's mother realized that she had indeed crossed the line, and she was a little embarrassed.

Jing Shuo rubbed his nose, and quickly found an excuse to call Yu Shulian away.

"My mother-in-law is too warm-hearted, don't take it to heart, bro." Jing Shuo was a little embarrassed.

Maybe I didn't think it was a problem before, but since I found out that Yu Shulian's sexual orientation is a man, I see how awkward it is when the elders in the family introduce a partner to my brother.

Yu Shulian smiled: "I'm not that narrow-minded." He glanced at the people beside him, "How is it? How is your body recovering?"

Jing Shuo is now able to walk on the ground. Although he still looks very thin, he is getting better day by day.

"It's not bad. I went to the hospital for an examination and said that all the indicators are normal. The current task is to make up for the deficit a while ago."

Yu Shu nodded and smiled: "That's good."

The two brothers watched the special program of the Spring Festival Gala on TV while eating fruit, and the rest of the family were either busy in the kitchen or got together to play with Xiao Yueyue.

"Brother," Jing Shuo tentatively glanced at Yu Shulian, "You and Yan Cheng... are you still in touch now?"

Yu Shu paused his hand peeling the orange, and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask this? I thought you hated him so much that you didn't even want to mention his name."

Jing Shuo shrugged his shoulders: "Revenge in ancient times paid attention to 'one life for one life'. Now that my health is getting better and better, I don't want to drag on those bad things before. It's so boring."

Yu Shulian peeled off the last piece of orange peel, broke off an orange segment and threw it into his mouth, the sweet and cold juice burst in his mouth.

"I met Yan Cheng's elder brother, and I learned some things from him." Yu Shulian said suddenly.

Jing Shuo was stunned for a while, but didn't speak.

"An Jun's family has been ruined, and now he is half disabled, and he will never return to China in this life."

Jing Shuo's face turned pale, and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Why didn't you tell me when you were wronged so much?"

Jing Shuo smiled and said calmly: "This is my business, and I can solve it. I don't want to trouble you."

"Fart." Yu Shulian turned his face to look at him, "You are a college student with no foundation and you are dead against that kind of big man. You may not know how you lost your life someday! You can solve the fart!"

Jing Shuo's face turned pale again, and he didn't speak.

In the room, you can hear the sound of the little crescent moon learning to speak, the laughter of the old people, and the sound of festive firecrackers on the TV.Only the two brothers' side was eerily quiet.

Yu Shuxian's expression has always been casual, but Jing Shuo's expression is dignified.Yu Shulian threw the last piece of orange into his mouth, took out a wet towel and wiped his hands.

"You are the only brother in my life, and so are you. I am the only brother. If you don't tell me if you have something to say, who will you tell? This is not allowed in the future."

Jing Shuo had a sore nose and wiped his eyes.

Yu Shulian sneered and stretched out his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of the man's eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile, "I'm already a father, don't be so worthless."

Jing Shuo also smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Then do you still want to be with him?" Jing Shuo asked suddenly.

Yu Shulian turned to look at him: "Let's brothers, don't go around the corner when you talk, just say what you want."

Jing Shuo clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I hated Yan Cheng very much at first. But even if I know that he is innocent now, I can't turn my head around for a while. To be honest, I... …I don’t quite accept homosexuality, maybe that thing has left a shadow on me. But I have also thought a lot recently. Maybe everyone has their own way of life, and following the majority is not necessarily the most suitable Your own. To put it bluntly, how you live is your freedom, and no one can interfere. But, brother, this road is not easy, it is too difficult."

Yu Shulian didn't speak, and listened quietly, but his eyes were so dark that people couldn't see his emotions.

"Brother, you hide it very well. I haven't found it for so many years. Since you are such a smart person, since you have been able to hide it from your family for so many years, it is not impossible for you to hide it for a lifetime. But you still let me find it easily. Given the fact that Yan Cheng is living with you, if there were no such bad things, would you want to put him on the bright side? I heard that you brought him to our house to meet his parents." Jing Shuo smiled Next, "The moment I saw Yan Cheng, I knew that you should like him very much. I like that kind very much. I was a little scared..."

"I used to think he was a devil, a heinous bad guy. You are my brother, the elder brother I respect the most. I respect your sexuality, even though I am a little bit against this group, but because you are my brother, I I will support you. But I don’t want this person to be Yan Cheng, I think he will bring you harm. This is not allowed. But now, my mentality has changed, I think about whether you will suffer because of it, Putting everything aside and just looking at Yan Cheng's words, whether it is the most suitable for you."

Yu Shulian frowned slightly, but did not interrupt him.It wasn't until now that he realized that he didn't know this little brother well enough.

"Yan Cheng has a good family background and good looks. He has all the characteristics of a playboy. I don't think he is a person who takes relationships seriously. I always think so. I'm afraid you will be confused by his appearance." Jing Shuo pulled his lips and smiled, "But after I was sick and hospitalized, I found that many things overturned my cognition. For example, I thought I was healthy, such as Yan Cheng. During the first two days in the hospital, you should be in a bad situation. Status of contact. Sometimes Yan Cheng will hold his phone in his hand as long as he is in a daze. Almost every time it is the interface for chatting with you on WeChat. I have seen him edit a long string of texts and delete them one by one in the end. He will also secretly Watch the award presentation video of your early years. But I thought he was just acting."

Yu Shulian squeezed the wet wipe tightly in his hand, and the line of his lips was stretched into a straight line.

"Later, he told me to accept his donation and hide it from you with him. I gradually felt that maybe...he really likes you. But I was too stubborn at that time, and I didn't want to doubt or deny myself , I didn’t tell you these things. Brother, do you know when I started to waver?”

Yu Shulian didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Jing Shuo smiled: "When you were crying for Yan Cheng."

Yu Shuxian was taken aback.

"The night when Yan Cheng was told that the second drawing was going to take place, I was also in the corridor. I was going to get some air. When I heard someone coming in, I hid on the jogging platform upstairs and didn't make a sound. I didn't expect it to be you I heard your suppressed cry." Jing Shuo wiped the wet red eyes, "At that time, I was thinking, what is my original intention? I want to do it for your own good. But I think... You don't seem to be happy about it."

"Brother." Jing Shuo looked at Yu Shuxian, "You can do whatever you want to do with confidence. I want to see you happy and happy. I was ignorant when I was young, so I might have taken away your happiness. Now that I'm grown up, I I can’t do this kind of thing anymore. Actually, I’ve thought about this for a long time, but I haven’t had a chance to convince myself to accept that the real villain is An Jun, and that Yan Cheng is not so heinous. But now, I have Accepted. It has nothing to do with anyone, I figured it out myself."

Yu Shulian watched Jing Shuo silently, and after a while, stretched out his hand and gently touched Jing Shuo's head.

Jing Shuo suddenly felt sore eyes.They have been brothers for so many years, but they rarely get close.When he was a child, he longed so much for this brother to be close to him, to take him to play, help him with his homework, or just touch his head like other brothers...

Unexpectedly, until today, his childhood dream has not come true.

"People have to live selfishly. Jing Shuo, you never owe me anything, don't make yourself so tired." Yu Shulian's voice was low and steady, with the magic power to make people feel at ease, "I will make myself happy. But You have to know that there is also a part of you in this happiness. My happiness can only be complete when you are healthy and happy. We are brothers and a family."

"elder brother……"

This year is different from every previous year. For Yu Shulian, for the first time, he has a so-called sense of belonging and participation, instead of watching other people's family reunion with cold eyes.

The whole family made dumplings together, cooked a large New Year's Eve dinner, and watched the embarrassing performances of the sketch actors on TV, but they were able to laugh heartily.Xiao Yueyue can speak a lot of words now, and especially likes to cling to Yu Shutitle.Yu Shulian probably won't have any children of his own in this life, so he loves this little niece very much.He wrapped a very thick red envelope for Xiao Yueyue, and gave Yu's mother a card.

At first, the family members didn't want it, but Yu Shuxian had no choice but to talk about winning a lottery ticket, and the family was persuaded to accept it.Yu Shulian suddenly discovered at that moment that in fact, his family not only demanded from him, but also had many other things.

It was something he looked forward to and dreaded.

He thought, maybe after this year, everything will be fine.

In the evening, the family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and Yu Shulian's cell phone kept ringing from eight o'clock, full of blessing messages from others.He replied politely.

At 11 o'clock, among the many blessing text messages, there was a different one, only six words.Yu Shulian almost saw it at a glance:

[Ashu, happy new year. 】

It's Yan Cheng.

Yu Shuxian stared at the text message on the phone for a long time, but did not reply, and finally put the phone away.He watched the program on TV, and the laughter seemed to be unable to penetrate his ears.

He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly picked up his coat and car keys and walked out.

Mother Yu was startled when she saw it: "Where are you going, Shubian? The dumplings are almost cooked!"

Yu Shu didn't reply: "I'll go out for a while."
