"Mr. Xia, Second Young Master sent Eldest Young Master to live with him."

The huge office is clean without any dust, and the simple and elegant silver-gray style seems to have no human touch. There is only one oil painting on the wall, which is a very fresh green field, and there is no other decoration.The books all over the wall seem to show the owner's habit of reading books, because there are faint labels at the bottom of each book.

The middle-aged man in a silver-gray suit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows frowned slightly when he heard the assistant's words.

The originally calm eyes slightly rippled, and the frowning eye movements pulled the fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. The traces of the years did not leave too deep marks on this cold and elegant face, but there were traces to follow.

Xia Shangzhe turned around and looked at his assistant with worry in his eyes: "Live together?"

"Yes, live with the school."

"Is anyone following them?"

"Yes, don't worry about that, the second young master didn't do anything drastic, but the eldest young master is still very dissatisfied with the second young master's behavior."

Xia Shangzhe sighed helplessly.

The assistant continued: "However, the young master has acute appendicitis, and he underwent a resection last night."

"Where's Cheche?" Xia Shangzhe looked down at the eraser in his hand, and gently wiped the erased corner with his fingertips.

"Second Young Master doesn't know about Eldest Young Master's hospitalization."

Xia Shangzhe's playful movements stopped abruptly, and the calm waves in his eyes seemed to be overturned: "I don't know? Why don't I know? Aren't the two of them together?"

The assistant continued: "You also know the relationship between the two young masters."

Hearing this, Xia Shangzhe seemed to be stabbed in his heart by something, he looked down at the eraser in his hand, yes, why did it happen.

"And there is someone beside the young master."

"Who?"

"It's the neighbor next door to the young master's rented house, who also plays art."

Hearing this, Xia Shangzhe's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and the lines at the corners of his eyes seemed to become deeper: "Playing art? Check it out and tell me in half an hour."

"Do you also care about the art of seal cutting?"

Xia Shangzhe's frown was slightly relaxed: "It's not an oil painting, right?"

"No."

"That's good."

"Mr. Xia, why are you afraid? It's not your fault. Don't you say that the two brothers will be misled by their own wrong consciousness for the rest of their lives." The assistant looked at the eraser Xia Shangzhe had been playing with and sighed softly.

"How should I say that their mother doesn't love them? To leave at all costs, hurt me, hurt them." Xia Shangzhe suddenly clenched the rubber in his hand as if thinking of something, his joints turned white from the force, and his eyes fell Outside the window: "I'd rather be this villain than let their supposedly gentle mother become a villain. At least I have some thoughts, don't I?"

"Then go and see the two young masters."

Xia Shangzhe's hands froze, his eyes seemed to be avoiding: "No, let them watch."

The assistant said softly: "Young master was admitted to the hospital once because of hypoglycemia."

After speaking, as expected, Xia Shangzhe turned his head and his eyes changed.

He continued: "I also fainted once at school, also because of hypoglycemia. At the beginning of school, I also injured my hand because of fighting with the second young master."

Xia Shangzhe pursed his lips and frowned even tighter: "What are these two guys doing?"

"Second young master is just as awkward as you, why do you take everything on yourself? The studio was only on fire because of the air conditioner, not the second young master, and all the paintings were sent out safely at the first time. The fire was too big at that time The young master doesn't know the specific situation, if he rushed in like this, if the second young master didn't find out when he went in to stop him, he would definitely die, the second young master would rather hurt him than lose him completely in order to save the young master, why didn't he say it?"

Xia Shangzhe seemed to be thinking of something, and finally heaved a heavy sigh. He turned around and looked at the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The eraser in his palm seemed to still be warm, and his eyes fell on somewhere thoughtfully.

The voices of the teenagers kept echoing in my mind, like sharp knives.

—Dad, did you force Mom to death?Why did you stop her from painting, why didn't you come to save her that day, why didn't you come to save us, don't you want us?I hate you so much, I hate why I have such a cold and heartless father!My brother forgot and I will never forget it in my life!

——Dad, it was you who made me panic. It was you who made me afraid when I saw that studio. My brother ran into the burning studio and my mind was instantly stunned. What if he died? If my mother is like... no , I can't let him die, I can only hurt him, but I didn't mean to...I'd rather he hate me than leave him.

——Why don’t you let me draw? Is it wrong for me to draw?

——It’s all right now, I can’t see anymore, are you satisfied?

Such accusations are like a sharp knife on his heart, because his negligence caused the accident from 12 years ago until now, the two children have been greatly stimulated, and even subconsciously they have hurt over each other.Especially the memory of how his mother left was all wrong, and it was him who was wrong in their memory, and he didn't quibble, if he thought it was him, then it was him.

But he never thought that the relationship between the two brothers would become like this.

Especially for Xia Xingche, the situation has become more and more serious over the years.

I thought his price was that the children who always pestered him when they were young would no longer show any smiles to him, never say they loved him, and would just turn a blind eye to his arrangements, and their father-son relationship became Very indifferent, as the years seem to fall into a hole that cannot be repaired.

But he didn't expect that it would suddenly become a dispute between three people. Everyone was on their own side, including him. He was also afraid that what happened before would happen again. He would rather regard himself as a villain and want to put an end to this It all happened again, but it all seemed wrong too.

It was he who wiped out Xia Xingcheng's innocence and romance with his own hands, and because of his own negligence, the child suffered damage that might not be repaired in this life, but he couldn't let the tragedy repeat itself, he could only make himself a villain.

——As a child of the Xia family, you must shoulder the responsibilities of the future. What kind of painting to learn is not what you should learn, and I will not let you learn it again. As long as you draw another painting, I will try my best The destruction of methods, including your teacher, you can resist and try.

He could still recall Xia Xingcheng's jealousy after he said this, the unyielding look in his eyes seemed to be condemning his father's selfishness.

And the last words I said before leaving home:

——Xia Shangzhe, I must have picked it up, Xia Xingche is your son, you are not my father, but Xia Xingche's father.

Hold the rubber in your hand.

He just didn't want the child to remember the past, because he was already afraid, afraid that Xia Xingcheng would suffer from mental disorders like his mother.

Emotional, nervous, worrying about gains and losses, and even can't help my temper but immediately regret it after speaking, like schizophrenia.

but……

"Mr. Xia, I will contact the doctor for the eldest young master, but it's time for the second young master to undergo the fourth psychological treatment this year."

"Well, I'll tell him."

It was not Xia Xingcheng who was almost strangled to death at that time who suffered from such a disease, but Xia Xingche.

——Dad, I'm not sick, but my brother is sick, and I will protect him.

He closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh.

.

"What?! I'm going to be hospitalized for a week?!" Xia Xingcheng widened his eyes in shock when he heard the nurse's words after waking up: "That can't be done, it's my National Day!"

He also said that he would have an interview at the end of the vacation, and he couldn't miss this opportunity.

Agitated and accidentally pulled the wound on the abdomen, gasping for breath in pain.

"Be obedient."

He grinned at Lieutenant Lu's eyes in pain, and the joy in his heart that had been throbbing for a whole night and finally calmed down began to ripple again. He didn't stare at Lieutenant Lu like usual, but nodded obediently.

This look is too good to be true.

Wei Lu:?

He found that his talking seemed to be a little useful.

After the nurse adjusted the hanging water, she gave a few instructions and left the ward. This kind of feeling that single dogs should not enter made her feel too uncomfortable, so she wanted to leave quickly.

Lu Wei put a pillow on the back of Xia Xingcheng's waist, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, as if he was going to have a long talk.

"For the part-time job, explain the situation to the owner of the gallery now. Special circumstances are handled specially. If he wants you, he will definitely keep you. Painting is different from other labor forces. It is not easy to encounter a powerful one."

"The hospitalization can't be changed according to your thoughts. You have to recover before you can be discharged from the hospital."

"In the future, you are not allowed to eat spicy and cold things. I will not indulge you in ice cream and beer in the future, and in the days to come, I will try my best to eat with you and supervise you."

"We'll do a full body check after you remove the stitches."

Xia Xingcheng: "..." This is what to do: "Brother Wei, in fact, it's just appendicitis, won't it be fine if you cut it off? And how can there be no ice cream and beer, then it will be unhappy, and there will be no one to accompany it Don’t you feel lonely when you drink beer and eat ice cream? You can still eat it once in a while.”

What's going on, it makes him look like he has a serious illness.

But, Wei Lu's nervous and serious look is really handsome.

He lowered his head and snickered.

"I'm not joking with you anymore." Lu Wei saw that he was smiling and thought he didn't take his words to heart, and he was a little unhappy: "You should take care of your body when you are young, and you have to take your body seriously. ?"

"Understood, Mom." Xia Xingcheng didn't dare to laugh anymore, but nodded obediently.

Cannibalism is soft.

This "Mom" made Lu Wei feel that it was no longer pleasant, and it was necessary to change it.

Xia Xingcheng lowered his head and lifted the quilt to look for his mobile phone. He wanted to call the teacher, but after searching for a long time, he found that the mobile phone was not here at all. He looked at Lu Wei sadly: "My mobile phone is at home."

"Someone will deliver it later."

"oh oh."

After finishing speaking, Xia Xingcheng fell into silence. Instead of looking at Wei Lu openly, Xia Xingcheng peeked at him. While peeking, he was thinking about what happened last night. It was strange. How did Wei Lu know that he liked him? Was it so obvious?

He recalled his various behaviors and carefully analyzed them in his mind for a long time.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that indeed, I seemed to show a very positive attitude after getting warm with Lu Wei, and I didn't stand out from others at all, and I didn't want Nian to rub the bed, what a shame!

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am really thick-skinned, and I don't know if I have left a bad impression in Lu Wei's heart.

From the corner of the eye, he watched Lu Wei lower his head and move his right hand, and then he remembered that Lu Wei carried himself on his back.

"Give me your hand."

Lu Wei was slightly stunned, and looked up at Xia Xingcheng, only to see someone stretching out his hand towards him: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you get it from me last night? I'll give you a massage."

After hearing this, Lu Wei understood, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

The young man's hands were still slightly cold, perhaps because the weather was also cold, and his body was not good enough to be cold. The temperature transmitted from his fingers to his palm made him want to hold his hand, but it was still being massaged.

His eyes fell on Xia Xingcheng's face.

I saw that the man lowered his head slightly, his expression was very focused, his slender eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, and when they stroked his eyelids, they seemed to tickle his heart, and his blood color had recovered. And being angry made his mood unconsciously joyful.

He wants to take good care of people and not make people sick anymore.

He didn't want to see the pale Xia Xingcheng.

Xia Xingcheng felt that Wei Lu's right hand was slightly stiff, and frowned tightly: "Brother Wei, is your hand stiff because you carried me on your back, will it hurt?"

I felt a little uncomfortable, if it wasn't for acute appendicitis caused by eating so much sushi, I wouldn't let Lu Wei carry him on his back, looking down at his stiff, swollen hand, he felt really bad.

It seems that he has been making trouble for Lu Wei all the time.

Very unpleasant.

"It's often like this. I get stiff every day when I wake up, and I need to move to recover. So every morning when I get up, I practice the rock-holding movement, which is to move my hands. It's not because I'm carrying you that it's stiff." Lu Wei found that Xia Xingcheng's eyelashes trembled more frequently than Be quick just now: "I'm fine."

Cried?

"Brother Wei."

"What's wrong?" Lu Wei didn't feel relieved when he didn't hear Xia Xingcheng's crying voice.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Xia Xingcheng raised his head to meet Captain Lu's eyes, his hands were still pressed and did not let go.

These words are undoubtedly like a stone hitting the calm water and causing ripples. Lu Wei was silent for a moment, did the little guy notice anything?

"How am I treating you?" Keep calm first, and respond to all changes with the same.

Seeing Lu Wei's reaction like this, Xia Xingcheng seemed to be different from what he thought. Didn't Lu Wei feel that he was very, very kind to him?Or did Wei Lu treat everyone like this?

"Then you treat everyone like this?" His heart suddenly felt as if the vinegar vat had been overturned, and it was extremely sour. Did he think too much?Otherwise, why did Wei Lu ask himself this question last night, or did he see that he was too enthusiastic?

Before Wei Lu opened his mouth, he heard a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside:

"A Wei, it's my Uncle Gui."

Lu Wei stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Uncle Gui standing at the door, followed by an aunt, and the two were pulling suitcases.

"Why is Aunt Luo here?" Wei Lu asked suspiciously after taking the suitcase from Aunt Luo.

"Mister and wife asked me to come and take care of you. Didn't I hear that your little friend is sick and I'm afraid you won't be able to get distracted?" Aunt Luo looked into the room curiously.

A flash of panic flashed in Lu Wei's eyes, and he lowered his voice: "Don't talk about my little friend, he doesn't know."

He knew that his parents could not be relied on, and everyone must know that he has a sweetheart.

"Okay, okay, I know you young people's petty interests, secret love." Aunt Luo didn't speak too loudly, and when she walked into the ward, she saw the boy in the ward not far away, her eyes lit up.

Ouch, this child looks like a little angel.

beautiful.

Uncle Gui smiled awkwardly at Wei Lu: "No way, just get used to it."

Lu Wei smiled without saying a word, he has long been used to it.

Xia Xingcheng felt a little disappointed. Just now, when he saw Lu Wei being so friendly to the middle-aged couple, he knew that he was definitely not the most important thing. He knew that he was thinking too much. What about the door.

It seems that Wei Lu doesn't feel that way about him, so he has to be more reserved.

Treat it calmly, and respond to all changes with the same!

The enemy doesn't move, I don't move!

That's right, that's it.

Hehehe, he is not someone who is easily defeated!

Chengcheng: Exactly!I can do it!I will make Lieutenant Lu like me!
