Lin Zining

【1】

After Lin Zining's 12th birthday, almost overnight, everyone around said to him: "Your brother saved your life, and you have to take care of him for the rest of your life."

So after ignorantly accepting the fact of losing his parents, the concept of "taking care of his younger brother for the rest of his life" was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He really couldn't leave Lin Ziyu behind, because in that accident, Lin Ziyu almost left with his parents in order to save 80% of his body from burns.

Lin Ziyu was less than ten years old this year. He was covered in bandages and couldn't even open his eyes. A vague whimper sounded unconsciously from his throat choked by the smoke; Lin Zining stood outside the ward and looked at him, thinking Thinking over and over again of Lin Ziyu's appearance when he was pushed out in the fire.

He is still a child, not even a teenager, but he is lying in the intensive care unit because of his brother, and his future life may be as unrecognizable as his skin.

Lin Zining recalled the scene of the fire all day long, and finally took out all the inheritance of his parents at his disposal, and begged the doctor to do his best to restore Lin Ziyu to his original state.

The Lin family's parents did not have many relatives, and the custody of the two brothers was transferred to a distant cousin.The loyal man privately advised Lin Zining to save some savings for his future, but Lin Zining just shook his head.

"I want to give Xiaoyu the best."

In this way, Lin Zining ended his otherwise smooth life early. He took a break from school for a year and took care of Lin Ziyu day and night. Until Lin Ziyu could speak and move normally, he went to a professional school with the help of his cousin. Middle school, and from then on, I have lived a life with the purpose of taking good care of Lin Ziyu.

He once thought about his future, which was probably just to get a barely a diploma, spend most of his time working part-time to earn money, and take care of Lin Ziyu until the two of them were old, and then he passed away alone.

Lin Ziyu is a well-behaved younger brother, and he also knows what his elder brother has done for him over the years. The two brothers depend on each other for life. He never utters the pain caused by the pain, and he never dislikes the life that is so different from before the accident. Even after barely recovering his health, he asked several times to go out to work to earn money, but was naturally arrested by Lin Zining.

Lin Ziyu had a large area of ​​skin grafted on his body, so he was very prone to allergies. Lin Zining would not let him go out if he could. He stayed in the dilapidated house left by his uncle for almost a long time. Had to draw the curtains.

Neither of the two brothers complained to each other, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they never left each other.

This kind of life left Lin Zining with no extra thoughts to think about other things, even though he liked the handsome and cheerful Chen Lu who lived next door more and more day by day.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Lu, who was alone, had the same thoughts as him, and enthusiastically helped to take care of Lin Ziyu, and also took care of Lin Zining who never had to be taken care of by others.

"I don't have anything very good." When confessing, Chen Lu rubbed his hands nervously, "But I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Can you promise so easily for a lifetime?Lin Zining didn't know, but he had lived this tense life for too long, and he would be moved by this sudden tenderness.

But he didn't nod. His life made it impossible for him to easily bring others into the mix.

It was this day's hesitation that pushed Chen Lu and Lin Ziyu together.

What can Lin Zining do?He said he wanted to give Lin Ziyu the best, so when Lin Ziyu told him his love for Chen Lu eagerly, Lin Zining could only smile hard and rub his hair.

"That's good, go after it if you like it."

How could he let Lin Ziyu go after someone so hard.

So in the following years, even if Chen Lu became an out-and-out scum, even if everyone told him that his life was being dragged down by his younger brother, he never complained.

Because the fruits of the years to come are all due to the causes planted at this time.

In country R's mercenary base, Shaozhou's name is very famous.

The recruits who come to the base every year are warned by the veterans that there are three instructors in the entire base not to disagree with them even if it is a punctuation mark. One of them is Shaozhou from China.

Shao Zhou is actually very young, and his physique is very strong. Even standing among several white instructors, he can stand out tall. I have seen his proud ranking in the usual life-and-death competition.

But he is different from the other two instructors who roared like a hill, Shaozhou doesn't seem to have a bad temper, and he always looks a little foolish with a half-smile, but he is a person who is full of scars from bullets and rain. , Just a quiet look in the eyes makes people shudder.

The recruits can't discuss too much about the instructors, and no one knows what kind of person Shao Zhou is outside the school.

In fact, Shao Zhou is not a mysterious person.

But he is just a boring person who is desperate under gunfire and doesn't know what to do when he is free.

Yes, boring is Shao Zhou's definition of himself.

In his free time, he just smoked and drank to pass the time. He was not homesick like Instructor Song, who was also Chinese, and he was not like the white guy next door who ran into the city to go clubbing.If it weren't for the sudden reconciliation with the old man at home, he might still stay in this base for the rest of his life as a mercenary instructor.

Occasionally there will be a little fluctuation in life, such as the song instructor who often drinks together suddenly initiates spring.

This bald man is like a young girl in Huai Chun who watches a noisy variety show on the computer every day, and the room is covered with posters of the same person—all of them drove more than 100 kilometers to the city with the photos. I went to print it, and even got into a fight with the boss's assistant because the base network could not be used on domestic forums.

Shao Zhou sat on the roof with his legs dangling and smoking a cigarette, watching Instructor Song crawling back with a bruised nose and a swollen face, his face full of enjoyment.

He knew the name of the star that the other party liked from Instructor Song. He was a member of an idol group that was popular in China, and was called Ning Bao by fans.

This "Ning Bao" male and female has cat-like eyes. If Song Instructor didn't tell her, Shaozhou would have thought he was a female star.

Neither male nor female.

Shao Zhou sneered, and smashed out the cigarette butt with some contempt.

Uncle Shao, who has lived for more than [-] years, never thought that his later life would have any intersection with this "neither man nor woman" idol star, and naturally he would never have imagined that after a few years, he who would dominate the entire R country would Willingly let the other party ride on his head.

Alas, this unexpected life.
