"Come, come, it's rare for us to gather together, let's have a toast!" Jiang Chengyun raised his beer and started.

Xia Xingcheng held up the big basin filled with ice powder expressionlessly, and touched Jiang Chengyun perfunctorily, feeling depressed.

It was originally a date between him and Lu Wei, but Jiang Chengyun cut him off at the school gate, saying that he would treat the two of them to hot pot, so they met again in Jiang Chengyun's hot pot restaurant.

Jiang Chengyun glanced at Xia Xingche, and said in a low voice, "It's not the formal apology banquet you said, I already started it for you, why don't you take the initiative?"

Xia Xingche paused with the hand holding the beer, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, as if he was doing psychological construction for himself.

After hearing what Jiang Chengyun said, Xia Xingcheng held a formal apology banquet?Hehe interesting.While digging the ice powder, he looked at Xia Xingche, and Jiang Chengyun's anxious look by the way, feeling a little dark in his heart.

This is the pleasure of abusing my brother for a while, and begging my brother to cremate.

"Don't eat so much cold food."

He was still chomping on the ice powder and took his basin away with one hand stretched out from the side. He looked up and saw that it was Lu Wei, and his expression drooped immediately: "I didn't eat much either."

Reluctantly watching Lu Wei put the ice powder on a shelf.

"It's too cold, you'll have a stomachache after eating, be obedient." Lu Wei put the cooked meat slices into his bowl.

"Give me some spicy food."

"It's already mildly spicy."

"Don't lie to me, it's colorless!" Xia Xingcheng stared at the meat slices in the bowl, which were clearly boiled in clear soup, without saying a word: "I will definitely not eat hot pot with you in the future!"

What is life, there is no soul without spicy hot pot!

"Then who do you want to eat with?"

Hearing Wei Lu's somewhat unusual tone, he turned his face sideways and saw that Wei Lu seemed a little jealous, and couldn't help but hold Wei Lu's hand under the table, stroking his fingertips in the palm of the person.

Feeling the numbness in his palm, Lu Wei couldn't help but clenched this unruly hand, and then saw Xia Xingcheng smiling and trying to mess with him.

"Don't try to fool around like a baby."

"It works for you." Xia Xingcheng leaned closer to him, winking at him and smiling brighter.

Jiang Chengyun: "..." If it weren't for the two brothers getting drunk to relieve their worries, he wouldn't propose to go out to dinner with this couple, it hurts his heart.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Just when Xia Xingcheng was still playing with Lu Weiqian, he saw Xia Xingche stood up and held up the beer, with guilt and sincerity on his face that he had never seen before.

"I will not be so impulsive in the future, and I will correct my way of expression. I will think through my brain before speaking, and I will never hurt you again."

"Brother, let's make up."

Xia Xingcheng raised his eyes to meet Xia Xingche's. The longing in his brother's eyes seemed to be like a small flame, as if he was waiting for the fire to become hot.In fact, this guy has been apologizing to him all the time, but he just doesn't want to be sick with him, but he knows how strong this guy's self-esteem is, so it doesn't matter, they will slowly get better now.

Time heals everything.

He took the beer and clinked glasses casually, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The swaying sound of bubbles coming from the cans seemed to completely melt a relationship that was on thin ice. Although the thin ice was broken and there was a puddle of water, the water was cold, but it took time.

The flames in Xia Xingche's eyes instantly seemed to be dyed with a warm flame, and the sadness in his heart seemed to gradually lessen. He held the beer bottle and looked up at Xia Xingcheng and looked at Xia Xingcheng gratefully: "Thank you brother .”

"I know, I know." Xia Xingcheng didn't look in Xia Xingche's eyes, because he wanted to know how happy this guy was without knowing it.

This time his heart was also relieved of the burden, Xia Xingche's carefulness really burdened him.

This hot pot was finally eaten.

Halfway through eating, he probably ate too much ice powder and wanted to go to the toilet, so he patted Lu Wei's thigh and whispered to someone to go to the toilet, and then hurried to the toilet.

Lu Wei watched Xia Xingcheng go to the toilet, and frowned. The big bowl of ice powder in front of this guy had been taken away and eaten after he didn't look at it for a while.

Jiang Chengyun noticed Lu Wei's gaze, and joked, "No way, you even care about him eating ice powder?"

"He has a bad stomach and shouldn't eat things that are too spicy or too cold." Lu Wei said, "Don't always bring him to eat hot pot, and don't always order too spicy food when you bring him to eat. It's both spicy and cold. Very irritating to the stomach."

Jiang Chengyun shook his finger: "If it was me, I definitely wouldn't let him eat casually, but then again, last time he ate him until he suffered from appendicitis. It seems that he went to eat with you, right?"

Wei Lu: "...so I'm reflecting."

Jiang Chengyun suppressed a smile and nodded approvingly: "Yeah~ I understand." Then he looked at Xia Xingche, and found that there were only vegetarian dishes in this guy's bowl: "Why do you like to eat these grasses, learn from Xia Xingcheng, you can eat meat and enjoy it , although he eats a lot of meat and is still small."

Xia Xingche ignored him eating his own kelp knot, his self-contained happiness prevented him from hearing Jiang Chengyun's beginning, and immersed himself in his own world.

"Boss, do you need more food?"

At this moment, a waiter came over, Wei Lu looked at this slightly familiar boy, and then his eyes sank suddenly.

Jiang Chengyun waved his hand: "No need."

Sun Qihao took away the empty plate and left, still heading towards the bathroom.

Lu Wei's eyes fell on the back of this person, with a little coldness in his eyes: "Jiang Chengyun, why didn't you fire this person?"

"Ah?" Jiang Chengyun was confused by Lu Wei's unreasonable words. He turned his head to look at the waiter who had just left, and smiled as if thinking of something: "No, Mr. Lu, you don't like it. The clerk opened the brush?"

"This boy bullied Chengcheng before." Lu Wei's eyes darkened: "The first time was Chengcheng's first day at work. After work, I passed by the store door and saw this boy bullying Chengcheng. The second time was when my friend beat Chengcheng at the door of the store."

"Fuck!" Jiang Chengyun put down his chopsticks and got up without saying a word.

Only then did Xia Xingche react and grab him, "Don't be impulsive, just ask that waiter to come over again."

After Jiang Chengyun sat down, he crossed his arms in anger. He suddenly thought of his father's dismissal of Xia Xingcheng: "What reason did my father dismiss Chengcheng last time?"

Only now did he think about it, why did his father know that Xia Xingcheng worked in his shop?

"The last time Chengcheng fought with this person, I asked my friend to detain him in the hospital. I wanted to ask him the next day, but he was taken away." Lu Wei looked at Jiang Chengyun: "Jiang Hong is your father. Right."

Jiang Chengyun's eyes flickered, his eyelids drooped: "Well, it was my dad who told me not to let Xia Xingcheng stay in the store."

Lu Wei seemed to understand something, Xia Xingcheng must have been under surveillance since he came out, and he still had no freedom in essence.Fortunately, he settled everything, and stopped many people in the dark in the past few days. Xia Xingcheng's father is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But neither is he.

Jiang Chengyun quietly glanced at Xia Xingche. Seeing that this person had a subtle expression, he rubbed his head and sighed: "I don't know what my father and Uncle Xia are doing, but I only know that they stare at him. Looking at Xia Xingcheng, it’s not about surveillance, it’s like a kind of protection. I don’t know why they use this method. I asked my dad why Uncle Xia did this, but my dad didn’t tell me. to beat me."

"They were worried that Xia Xingcheng had bipolar disorder like me. After all, my brother ran out and was worried about what would happen outside, so he had to be secretly protected. But they thought too much. My brother didn't have bipolar disorder, but I had it alone. That's all."

Xia Xingche's sudden opening made both Lu Wei and Jiang Chengyun look surprised, but it was also expected.

Bipolar disorder?

Jiang Chengyun felt his head buzzing, and he held Xia Xingche's hand under the table: "It's fine, everything will be fine."

The hands gradually tightened.

Lu Wei naturally knew, after all, the last time Xia Xingcheng chatted with his father, he was there, and suddenly he seemed to feel something and turned his head to the bathroom: "I'll go find Chengcheng."

Involuntarily feel uncomfortable.

Xia Xingche's eyes followed Wei Lu's back, and he said, "Jiang Chengyun, that waiter who bullied my brother can't be easily let go." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became cold.

Jiang Chengyun frowned when he saw that his mood had changed little.

In the bathroom, Xia Xingcheng was coming out after flushing the toilet. He stood in front of the mirror and moved his numb legs. He really squatted until his legs were numb, and the pain was excruciating. Sure enough, he couldn't eat spicy food and cold food at the same time.Just as he was looking at himself in the mirror, a familiar and disgusting figure appeared in the mirror.

"I knew the boss was coming, and you will definitely come."

Sun Qihao!

He turned around and turned his wrist with a smile that was not a smile: "Ah, you haven't been fired yet? You have some tricks, Sun Qihao!" Just as he was about to walk forward, the pain in his feet made him stop, really...

He secretly scolded himself twice for squatting in the pit for too long, which affected his combat effectiveness.

Sun Qihao looked at Xia Xingcheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, still with a piercing smile in his eyes: "As expected, it's different to be nourished by a man, and she's beautiful again."

"Sun Qihao, I advise you to have some morals." Xia Xingcheng turned his ankle to try to quickly relieve the numbness in his foot, so as not to be at a disadvantage for a while.

Just as he finished speaking, Sun Qihao strode forward and pinned him against the wall.

"Xia Xingcheng, I underestimated your ability. You are very good at making small reports. Sure enough, people like you like to blow pillows. The boss is one. My uncle, you also got it?"

The moment the back of his head hit the wall, he felt a little dizzy, but he recovered after a while. Seeing Sun Qihao who was grabbing his collar, he suddenly became angry. Hit it on your own leg.

Sun Qihao felt the severe pain in his wrist, and bent down in pain: "Fuck, you will sneak attack!"

Xia Xingcheng laughed twice when he saw him bent down, and unceremoniously punched him in the abdomen with his fist, which was not firmly clenched. The fist was full of strength, and this guy was hit by him again. He would never do it again. Let it go.

"Keep talking so well, let me see if you can stay this time."

Sun Qihao suddenly felt annoyed. Although he didn't know how to fight very much, so why was he beaten by such a thin guy?The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he just went head-on, taking advantage of his height and body shape to hit Xia Xingcheng, his limbs were moving randomly, he couldn't believe it and he couldn't handle it!

Xia Xingcheng was a little dumbfounded by his sudden violent fight, and at the moment when he was distracted and didn't pay attention, Sun Qihao pushed him down against the wall again. He hit the wall, and the bump on his body was painful at most, but he hit the back of his head again.

This time it was really dizzy.

A double image suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and then a large green area appeared again, flashing in front of my eyes like a flashlight, and Sun Qihao's cursing voice seemed to come from far away, so I couldn't hear it very clearly , the whole person was very dizzy, his limbs were a little weak, and the feeling of nausea and nausea was violent.

He closed his eyes in pain, he couldn't do it, he had to find a place to sit down.

Sun Qihao raised his hand to beat him down, but he saw Xia Xingcheng's face turned pale and his body slid down, he backed away in fright: "No, what are you doing, I didn't hit you, Pengci!"

Xia Xingcheng sat on the floor along the wall, buried his head in his arms in discomfort, and hugged his head vigorously, trying to relieve the discomfort at this moment.Even with my eyes closed, I can still see that green flickering violently, which is extremely terrifying.

The dull pain in the back of his head made him feel a little dazed.

——Chengcheng, what should I do if you are so good at drawing, you are dead, okay?

The air in his throat was suddenly pinched by a pair of hands, he desperately wanted to breathe and struggled desperately.

At that moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, and he saw the woman in front of him.

Still in the water-blue dress, with long hair and shawls, she is so beautiful but has such a hideous and terrifying face. This woman is his mother and wants to strangle him to death.

——Brother woo woo woo...

His consciousness gradually became blurred. He heard a child's cry, and turned his head to the door where the sobs came from. He saw his father standing at the door holding Xia Xingche who was a child. He saw Xia Xingche crying hard. He desperately stretched out his hand, and his father also burst into tears, but he didn't come in.

——Zhou Rui, why are you doing this.

—— Xia Shangzhe, let me go, I beg you.

——I never forced you, so why let it go.Zhou Rui, feel your conscience and say, am I treating you badly?don't i love youYou want to work hard all over the world, you want to paint, I have hired so many excellent painters to teach you, am I not good to you?

——But I can’t draw anymore!

——Zhou Rui, don't deceive yourself, you have never been able to draw!

These words seemed to completely irritate his mother who was pinching him:

——You are not allowed to come here, I will die with Chengcheng!

——Zhou Rui, I let go, you can go.

After his father said this, the hand holding him seemed to loosen, and he began to pant desperately, and then he looked at Xia Xingche.

——I don't want a mother, I want a brother... brother...

At this time Xia Xingche seemed to be crying so hard that he could hardly breathe. He saw his father covering Xia Xingche's eyes with complicated eyes.

He suddenly felt himself being pushed aside violently, and the next second he heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him, and he turned his head in shock.

——Chengcheng don't look!

Don't look?

He climbed to the window, stood on the small bench, and looked down at the small garden below.

In the gorgeous blue enchantress, his mother was lying in it covered in blood, and the aqua blue dress was gradually dyed red, turning dark green in his world, like a dark green like a nightmare.

He turned around in a daze, and then he saw his father kneeling on the floor, hugging Xia Xingche who passed out from crying, tears streaming down his face.

So his mother wanted him to die, and his father didn't rush to save him, the essence was the same, he didn't want him.

This time, it couldn't be clearer. He clearly saw how his mother wanted to kill him, and how his father compromised and gave up on them for his mother's sake.

The anger that had been pent up for a long time seemed to explode in an instant, the burning heat surged up in the internal organs, and the increasingly rapid breathing seemed to be gushing out. At the same time, the dull pain in the head stimulated the brain, accompanied by Anger is like a volcano, eager to find an outlet to vent.

Suddenly he felt some liquid flow out from under his nose, raised his hand and lowered his head to look, but saw nothing.

Total darkness.

"Cheng Cheng!!!"

Lu Wei walked into the bathroom and wanted to find Xia Xingcheng, and at a glance he saw Xia Xingcheng sitting in the corner with a pale face and nosebleeds, his brain was buzzing and he was dizzy, the uneasiness just now could be traced.

He walked quickly to Xia Xingcheng's side and immediately supported his limp body. His eyes were dark and angry, and he was close to bursting out. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Xia Xingcheng's nosebleed.

"Chengcheng is not afraid." His own voice was trembling with anger.

Sun Qihao backed away guiltily: "It wasn't me, I didn't hit him..."

Xia Xingcheng raised his head, and at this moment, all the movements were infinitely magnified without being able to see them. Fear, discomfort, and irritability, many, many voices poured into his ears.

Can't see?

His head was buzzing.

He blinked and still couldn't see.

"Chengcheng, is there something uncomfortable?" Lu Wei wiped his nosebleed with a handkerchief, but he stopped his hand the moment he met Xia Xingcheng's eyes, as if something that he didn't dare to think about in his mind some time ago really happened.

"Brother Wei..."

"I'm here."

"why can not I see you?"

Lu Wei's heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly, feeling his heart was frozen by ice, and his whole body was numb.
