crossing the dangerous bridge

When the "little emperor" has a younger brother, he must announce it to the world.

It's just that the territory of the "emperor" is currently worrying, it is limited to the Lin family's square inch, and no special introduction is needed. The nanny and bodyguards who live at home already know it clearly, which greatly limits Lin Jianxi's room to play.

But it doesn't matter, little friend Lin can exploit others.

Xiong Cui and Xiong Can sat on the ground well-behaved, staring at the child sitting on the sofa together, two chubby bear cubs sitting side by side, the scene looked like whack-a-mole.

The children didn't realize it, and were still immersed in the joy of "I will not be the youngest child from now on", trying to put on a serious elder expression, asking a lot of chattering questions.

"Lin Lin, how old is your brother?"

"Five years old."

"Then does he have to call us brother too? We are all older than him."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxi thought about it for a while, and felt that he was not very happy. He wanted to share the joy of being an older brother with others, not a younger brother. Why did his younger brother call someone else's elder brother? They had a good idea.

Maybe it was because he had been thinking for a long time, Jiang Yu suddenly hugged the doll, climbed off the sofa anxiously, ran behind him and hid.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Jianxi's clothes and shook: "Brother..."

Lin Jianxi lowered her head, "What's the matter?"

"No... I don't want to..." Jiang Yu puffed up his face in grievance, his eyes flickered, he looked at the two chubby children, then at Lin Jianxi, and finally hugged Lin Jianxi, hiding himself behind him, not talking anymore.

Lin Jianxi understood: "You don't want to call them brother, do you?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "Well..."

Lin Jianxi pinched Jiang Yu's plump cheeks in relief: "As expected of my younger brother, it just so happens that I don't want you to call them elder brother either."

The two of them are not real brothers, but they staged a scene of brotherly love, which made the real brothers Xiong Cui and Xiong Can very dissatisfied, "Why don't you want to call us brother, what's wrong with us?"

Jiang Yu has an introverted personality and is not very courageous. He clings to Lin Jianxi because they played together before. In an unaccompanied environment, Lin Jianxi is the elder brother he can rely on. As for Xiong Cui and Xiong Can, then Just complete strangers.

He was a little scared, and the two strangers had unhappy expressions on their faces, and he was even more scared, holding on to Lin Jianxi's clothes tightly, not showing his head at all.

The two children are used to their skin, and they have been careless since they were young. They didn't expect that the little brother would be afraid of him, and even wanted to ask for clarification. It was just a joke in their eyes. To Jiang Yu, it was basically no different from intimidation.

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Jianxi helplessly, curled his lips, curled his lips again, his big round eyes sparkled at some point, seeing that he was about to cry, Lin Jianxi quickly pulled the two children aside : "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, you will scare my brother to tears."

Two children: "..."

They felt that they had caused trouble, and they couldn't figure out why, so they stared at Lin Jianxi aggrievedly: "But we didn't bully him."

The three pairs of eyes looked at him with aggrieved eyes, and Lin Jianxi suddenly felt the helplessness of adults at this moment: "My brother is afraid of life, he doesn't know you, you have to introduce yourself first."

"Oh."

The two brothers listened and introduced themselves seriously: "My name is Xiong Cui, you can call me Big Brother."

"My name is Xiong Can, you can call me little brother."

Lin Jianxi: "..."

"No," he resolutely refused: "I don't even call them, my brother can only call me brother."

"Why? Wouldn't it be good to have two more brothers? We can also play with the little brother." Xiong Cui asked doubtfully.

"No, no," Lin Jianxi blinked: "Big Bear, you already have a younger brother, why do you still want a younger brother, don't you want Little Bear?"

Xiong Cui quickly explained: "I didn't mean that..."

But Xiong Can had already listened. He strangled Xiong Cui by the back of his neck and shook him frantically: "I knew you disliked me. You told your mother yesterday that you don't want a younger brother. Goblin, die."

Xiong Cui: "I...no...have..."

The two brothers fought again within an hour. Lin Jianxi dragged Jiang Yu aside and rubbed Jiang Yu's face: "Brother, look, the two of them are so fierce, you must stay away from them in the future." point."

Jiang Yu took a look, then turned his head and rubbed against Lin Jianxi's arms, "Brother is not fierce..."

"Of course I'm not fierce, I'm super good." With the comparison, Lin Jianxi boasted very confidently.

Jiang Yu raised his head, blinked his eyes, said "um", and shoved back into Lin Jianxi's arms embarrassingly.

The younger brother is a clingy person who is easily shy. Within a few days, Lin Jianxi had a clear idea of ​​Jiang Yu's character. While stroking Jiang Yu's little head, he thought endlessly, the younger brother is like a little sister, no wonder Aunt Xiao will wear skirts for her younger brother.

Speaking of which, where did Aunt Xiao go?

During the day, Big Bear and Little Bear would come to play, and Lin Jianxi would take him around to find the way around, and if someone made a fuss, the children would not be able to take care of other things, but at night, the younger brother would Hiding in bed and crying, I often wake up from my dream crying.

Lin Jianxi was woken up many times by crying, and every time he patted him on the back in a daze to tell him not to cry.

He also had times when he missed his parents and woke up crying, so he didn't find it annoying, he just coaxed his younger brother, stop crying, stop crying.

That night, Lin Jianxi sneaked into Zhao Yunqi's study while Jiang Yu was asleep.

Zhao Yunqi was discussing with Lin Zhiming and Jiang Sui's lawyer about the Jiang family's affairs. After discussing it until now, their spirits have been tense for a long time, and they are all a little tired.

Seeing Lin Jianxi coming in, Zhao Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and waved to him: "Why are you still not sleeping so late. Come here, let mom see if you have grown taller."

Lin Zhiming also smiled: "Son, come here and let Dad see if you are fat or not."

Lin Jianxi rushed over, and Lin Zhiming picked him up to play with and held him high: "It's not heavy, you ate so many good ones at home, where did you eat them?"

Lin Jianxi hummed: "I don't want to be fat."

"Okay, okay," Lin Zhiming put him down, "Father and uncle go downstairs to have a cup of tea, you talk to mom."

"Okay," Lin Jianxi waved his hands to them: "Goodbye, Dad, goodbye, Uncle."

Lin Jianxi watched them leave all the way, making sure that his father had closed the door, then turned his head, leaned against Zhao Yunqi's arms, raised his face, and asked with a puzzled face: "Mom, where are my brother's parents? Brother, every night I miss them all and cry all the time.”

Zhao Yunqi's raised hand paused, and slowly fell on top of Lin Jianxi's head: "My brother's parents have gone to a far away place and will never come back."

Lin Jianxi seemed to understand but half understood: "Where did they go, why didn't they come back?"

"Baby," Zhao Yunqi's eyes were filled with a bit of unconcealable sadness, but Lin Jianxi still couldn't understand: "Look at Journey to the West, where will Sun Wukong go to find help when he encounters difficulties?"

Lin Jianxi replied, "Heaven."

"Uncle and aunt are going to heaven." Zhao Yunqi said softly: "Lin Lin, my brother has no parents to protect him, so you can't bully him, you understand?"

"I won't bully him." Lin Jianxi leaned into her arms, and it took a long time before he replied sullenly: "I won't bully him."

Zhao Yunqi hugged him, and gently stroked his hair: "Yes, our family Lin Lin is a good brother."

Lin Jianxi was not happy about being praised, but rather sad.

An indescribable feeling stuck in his heart, and his breathing became stuffy.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Mom..."

"Ok?"

"I made a wish on the orange tree before." Lin Jianxi said, "I said, I want a younger brother. Mom, is it because I made a wish on the orange tree that my younger brother came to our house?"

He spoke intermittently, without coherence, with a childish and naive childishness: "Then I make another wish, can Orange Tree return my brother's parents to him?"

Zhao Yunqi couldn't hold back, her eyes were red: "Lin Lin, my baby..."

The room fell silent, and after a while, Lin Jianxi suddenly heard Jiang Yu's helpless cry: "Brother..."

The voice faded away, sounding like it was looking for him.

Lin Jianxi wiped her eyes: "Mom, I'll go out and have a look."

"Go," Zhao Yunqi said, "Take my brother back to sleep, Lin Lin, good night."

When Jiang Yu woke up, he didn't see Lin Jianxi, and he couldn't find it in the room. He panicked and searched everywhere anxiously.

The Lin family’s villa is neither big nor small, at least for the five-year-old Jiang Yu, it can be regarded as a maze. There are still night lights in the corridor, but he still feels scared. Lin Jianxi is not there. Everything around him became a strange environment again, which frightened him.

He hugged the doll, tears welled up in his eyes, "Woo...brother..."

Lin Jianxi pushed open the study door: "I'm here—"

Hearing his voice, Jiang Yu hurried over and threw himself into his arms: "Brother."

"Hey," Lin Jianxi responded, "Why are you crying again?"

"I can't find you..." Jiang Yu said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid..."

Lin Jianxi took his hand and walked into the room: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's go back to sleep."

"Okay." Jiang Yu said, struggling for a few seconds, and then said: "Brother, don't want me."

This sentence was a bit confusing, Lin Jianxi was stunned for a moment, "No."

Back in the room, Lin Jianxi washed his face with Jiang Yu first, then he took out a giant panda pillow from the cabinet and placed it on Jiang Yu's left.

After laying it out, he slept on the right side by himself, "This is the doll I held in my arms when I was a child, and I'm lending it to you now. You treat it as me, and there are people on both sides to accompany you, so you don't have to be afraid."

Jiang Yu said "Oh" ignorantly, but as soon as the lights were turned off, he still sneaked into Lin Jianxi's side: "Brother...good night."

Lin Jianxi replied, "Good night, brother."
