I became my brother's treasure

Lu Xijia rushed out subconsciously, but stopped suddenly when she reached the door.The thoughts in my mind gradually cooled down, and my thoughts became clearer.There were only three people living in the house, and the housekeeper didn't go in and out of his room at will to rummage through his coat pockets.It is self-evident who took the appraisal report.

Lu Yun found out that he was not the young master of the Lu family.The other party may have known about it yesterday, but he doesn't know when the other party knew about it, maybe it was yesterday, or the day before yesterday, or even last week.

He didn't know how the other party knew.Maybe it was the small restaurant he was looking at that night when the other party found out, or maybe it was Tang Mingri who saw him coming out of the gate of the private appraisal center when he drove by tomorrow.

Lu Yun took the report with him when he left, did he not want him to take that report to the Lu family to confess the truth while the other party was away?Lu Yun knew the truth without any preparation, but accepted the truth calmly in the shortest possible time, and told him in such a clear manner that he didn't need to bear it alone in this matter.

All he has to do is to sleep well when Lu Yun is not around, then get up and eat well, like every day in the past, buy the latest games to play, chat with friends about the latest ball games, and attend all kinds of parties, all his worries and concerns Things like the cold disappearing after waking up will be perfectly resolved in the end.

It's just that Lu Xijia couldn't do it all.Even in the past 19 years, he did rely on the material and spiritual indulgence given by the Lu family, but all of this is based on the premise that everything belongs to him.When he saw his favorite limited-edition sneakers and a note with Lu Youning's name in Lu Yun's room when he was a boy, he never thought of taking the sneakers away and keeping them for himself, let alone now.

He won't take anything that doesn't belong to him.

He once wished so much that the facts presented in that report were false, but when Lu Yun gave a hint that he could regard the truth as an illusion, Lu Xijia became resistant and unwilling.

It's not that he doesn't have any feelings for Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any nostalgia for his bedroom in Lu's house, nor does it mean that he doesn't have any longing and expectation for the blood relationship between himself and Lu Yun.

It's just that when these collided with lies, his self-esteem almost forced him to tell him that he should and could only choose to give up the former.He didn't even leave any room for hesitation and hesitation.

Lu Xijia changed out of her pajamas and put on the coat, opened her schoolbag to take a look at the English books inside, finally unzipped the zipper on the hidden bag, and took out another appraisal report.Lu Yun took away Lu Youning's card, and Lu Xijia also had an authentication certificate with her and Lu Yun's names written on it.

Lu Yun didn't want him to go back to Lu's house this weekend, but he decided to go.Lu Xijia realized very clearly that his resistance and willful behavior at this moment were all due to Lu Yun's feelings for him.If he hadn't entered Dibao's body, he would have just unconsciously slept on the hospital bed for a month.

After waking up, he didn't break the ice with Lu Yun, they still had the name of brothers but they were strangers.He didn't realize that he fell in love with his own brother, and his brother didn't fall in love with him so coincidentally.So at this moment, can he still be so proud that he can go back to the Lu family fearlessly with a paternity test and a lonely courage based on the so-called "self-esteem"?

Undoubtedly the answer is no.All he relied on was that when he gave up his rich past and the future he should have held in his hands for the sake of self-esteem, he didn't have nothing.It's really ironic, but it's something that can't be completely let go and let go.

Lu Xijia went back to Lu's house after lunch. She wanted to make a quick decision, but she didn't want to, but she sat there from noon until it was getting dark in the evening, and she didn't find any chance to speak out.He was restless under the eyes of the old lady and the old man, and even felt that the smile on his face had already froze, but the two people in front of him hadn't noticed it from the beginning to the end.

From the moment he stepped into Lu's house, he didn't even enter his own bedroom.Lu Xijia put her schoolbag on the sofa in the living room on the first floor on the grounds that she was going back to Lu Yun's house after dinner.

The housekeeper came to remind them of the time for dinner, Lu Xijia got up behind the old lady Lu, sat down at the dining table absent-mindedly, her eyes swept across the faces of the old couple of the Lu family, and the words that had been brewing hundreds of times in her heart finally slipped to the lips.

The half-open window in the kitchen was making moderate noises from the wind, which happened to interrupt the train of thought in his mind.Mrs. Lu, who was holding chopsticks to pick up vegetables in his bowl, raised her head when she heard this, and suddenly remembered something, she got up and went to the kitchen to take a look out through the wide open window.

The leaves in the distance rustled in the sight, and there was a bit of coolness in the temperature that could be touched by the skin.Suddenly the wind picked up.The weather software in the mobile phone immediately popped up the news of the rainstorm warning, and the speed of the sky getting dark was a little faster than in the past.

The old lady Lu turned around to look at her beloved flowers in the small garden in the backyard. Lu Xijia got up and followed her, turned into the living room halfway, opened her schoolbag, and took out the identification report and stared at it for a while. , and finally folded the report with a silent expression, and threw it on the corner of the coffee table without saying a word.

When Mrs. Lu returned to the living room from the backyard, she happened to see Lu Xijia standing by the sofa carrying her schoolbag.She stepped forward suspiciously and called him by his nickname: "Why are you leaving now, didn't you agree to leave after dinner?"

Lu Xijia seemed to be frozen in place for a second, then turned around with a normal expression and said, "It's going to rain heavily, I didn't bring an umbrella, I have to go back before it rains."

The old lady frowned in disapproval and said, "It's not like you rushed back. If it really rains heavily, you can stay at home and sleep tonight."

Lu Xijia shook her head stubbornly and said, "I'm going back now."

He took a step towards the entrance, and happened to bump into Mr. Lu coming out of the dining room upon hearing the sound. When Mrs. Lu was about to ask Mr. Lu to stop her, she caught a glimpse of the place where Lu Xijia had stood a second ago, lying on the bed. With a folded white paper.

The old lady Lu subconsciously bent down to pick it up, opened the paper and lowered her head to look at the paper, and called out to Lu Xijia: "Did something fall—"

Halfway through the speech, Mrs. Lu seemed to have seen something unbelievable, with an expression of shock that could not be added on her face, and her voice stopped abruptly.Lu Xijia stopped and turned around, her eyes fell on the paper with clear fold marks in her hand, and she didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, as if she had finally come to her senses, Mrs. Lu slowly raised her head and asked, "Jiajia, what is this piece of paper you dropped?"

There was no fluctuation on Lu Xijia's face, "What do you think it is, it is what it is."

The old lady Lu's expression froze slightly, and then she forced a smile, "Jiajia, don't make such jokes with grandma."

"This is not a joke." Lu Xijia spoke steadily and calmly, "The name is also real, the sample is real, and the identification result is real." When he first stated his words, he could still maintain a basic calm and calm look.

It's just that the further he got to the back, the more he seemed as if he couldn't even bear the words he said. While gradually speeding up his speech uncontrollably, the emotion on his face seemed to be split from the middle, "I'm not Lu Yun's real brother is not your real grandson, but Lu Youning is. I will leave the Lu family and move out from here."

He added quickly, but raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "It's not right to say that you moved out. All the things I left in Lu's house were given to me by you, and they never belonged to me." He began He became a little incoherent, and finally left a hasty "I'm sorry", turned around and pushed the door open and rushed into the night without looking back.

As if he just remembered what he said, Mr. Lu hurried forward to snatch the identification report from Mrs. Lu, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the densely packed black letters on the paper.The old lady Lu subconsciously took a step forward, as if she wanted to call him to stop, but she couldn't make any sound in the end.

A second later, Mr. Lu angrily threw the identification report in his hand on the ground, raised his head with a livid face, breathed slightly and said, "What Jiajia said is true?"

The old lady Lu also looked back at him with an ugly expression, and her subconscious reaction was to take out her mobile phone and call Lu Yun.The first time the phone was connected, she pressed the speaker button and blurted out hastily: "Is the paternity test your brother showed us true?"

Lu Yun paused slightly on the phone, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, it's true."

The two old men seemed to have lost their strength from top to bottom, and they also showed a dejected look on their faces.After a long time, Mr. Lu murmured with a ecstasy on his face: "The blood of our Lu family can't let him stay outside forever. I thought it was to let the little grandson stay outside for five years, and then recognize him after five years. At that time, my biological parents were already gone. But I didn’t expect the real mistakes in the past ten years. When I go down, I really have no face to see your parents.”

"This matter has nothing to do with Lu Xijia. I will find out what happened back then with the person concerned, and you can also recognize Lu Youning. I just need a word from you." Lu Yun's low tone was tinged with no doubt, "Whether Lu Xijia herself Whatever he wants, he will always be from the Lu family."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even leave any time for the two old men on the other end of the phone to react. He only left a last sentence with a calm expression before hanging up the phone: "The plane is about to take off. If there is nothing wrong, I'm hanging up."

When Lu Xijia came out of the Lu family's villa, thoughts in her mind were like a ball of wool that could not be sorted out.He compulsively forced himself to recall the words he said over and over again, as well as the ever-changing expressions on the faces of Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu when they heard those words.

He didn't even remember to use his mobile phone to call a car, and when he walked halfway in a daze, the wind that brushed past his face finally wrapped up thin strands of rain.Pieces of rain gradually spread in the night into big raindrops hitting the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, and finally even turned into torrential rain.

Lu Xijia finally remembered that she needed to hide from the rain, and hurriedly took off her schoolbag to cover her head and walked under the big tree beside the road, when suddenly a bright light came from behind her.At the same time, the short car honking, which is especially loud in the silent night, came to my ears.

A slight hope suddenly floated in Lu Xijia's heart, he opened his eyes wide, and turned his head to look at the car parked by the roadside with imperceptible expectations and joy in his eyes.The window of the car slowly came down in his line of sight, Tang Mingri's face poked out from inside the car, the faint light in Lu Xijia's eyes suddenly went out, and his face returned to a expressionless look.

Tang Mingri opened the car door and got out of the car holding an umbrella, and put the black umbrella over his head, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

There was a vague resistance on Lu Xijia's face, "I won't go back."

Tang Mingri nodded following his words, "Then you go back with me first, Lu Yun is already on his way back."

Lu Xijia was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then raised the corners of her lips seemingly nonchalantly, "How could he be on his way back, he won't be back until next week."

Tang Mingri looked at him with complicated expressions, and finally sighed softly after a while, "I have been waiting for you outside the Lu family's gate for a long time. From day to night, I called your brother just two hours ago. "

Only then did Lu Xijia suddenly raised her head, looking at him in astonishment and shock.

With chaotic thoughts in his mind, he followed Tang Mingri back to the other party's apartment in the city center.He ate a bowl of noodles in the other party's apartment, took a hot bath in the other party's apartment, but insisted on not changing into the new pajamas that Tang tomorrow gave him, still wearing the long sleeves and jeans when he went out in the morning, sitting on the side Lying in the dim light, I stared at the rainwater falling on the glass in front of the window without saying a word.

Finally, at midnight, Lu Yun, who had rushed back overnight, arrived.In just one day when the other party was away, every cell in his body seemed to be clamoring for the other party.And when Lu Yun really appeared in front of his eyes, he belatedly recalled what he did a few hours ago, and he no longer even had the courage to look directly at him.

He heard Lu Yun talking to Tang Mingri in a normal tone, but he took him out of the other party's house with a cold expression, and stopped a taxi on the side of the street to take him home.From the beginning to the end, he kept his lips pursed and remained silent, never saying a single word to him.

The initial guilt and uneasiness finally turned into a faint panic in the thick night passing by outside the car window.He stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party on the stairs on the second floor of his home. When he was at a loss and wanted to call him brother as usual, he suddenly froze for a moment. In the end, he just opened his lips soundlessly, but there was no sound. It also failed to send out.

He slowly spread his five fingers, let go of the hand holding Lu Yun's forearm, and lowered his head silently in the shadow behind the lights in the corridor.Lu Yun raised his hand and pushed open the door of the study beside him. After stepping into the door first, he turned around and asked him, "To come in or not?"

Lu Xijia hung her head and did not answer him.Two seconds later, Lu Yun's only patience finally ran out, and he reached out to grab his wrist and dragged him in from the boundary line outside the door.Lu Yun turned off the light on the ceiling of the study and walked in. The room was suddenly plunged into darkness. Lu Xijia hurriedly followed the last silhouette in sight, and tightly held the opponent's palm.

Lu Yun walked to the desk and stopped, bent over and turned on the desk lamp beside the desk, the warm yellow light poured down along the air, wrapping the two of them in it silently.Lu Yun turned around and picked up Lu Xijia and put it on the desk, raised the warm yellow desk lamp to shine on his still drooping face, and called his name in a flat tone: "Lu Xijia, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Yes, Lu Xijia quickly answered the words in her heart, there were too many.For example, how did you know that there was a problem with my identity, and when did you know about it.Or will you blame me for not listening to you, or will your early return not have any adverse impact on company affairs.

But in the end he didn't say anything, he just raised his face slowly under the light yellow light, looked straight at Lu Yun with his dark and dim eyes, and said in a dry voice: "I am no longer the Lu family. baby."

Lu Yun looked at him and didn't speak.

Lu Xijia gritted her teeth and looked straight into his eyes. A faint redness slowly faded from the corners of her eyes, her Adam's apple rolled slightly, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Are you still my brother?"

"No." Lu Yun finally said slowly, "I am no longer your real brother."

Lu Xijia's eyes froze slightly, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.It seemed that even the warm yellow light emitted from the desk lamp beside him could no longer shine into the depths of his eyes.

Lu Yun narrowed his eyes suddenly, leaned over and hugged him vigorously, "Lu Xijia, there is one thing you must remember clearly. Maybe from this moment on, I will no longer be your brother. But I will always be better than you Brother is more important."

That night, they slept in the big bed in the master bedroom.Lu Yun kissed his browbones and the tip of his nose, kissed his lips and chin, swallowed his vague ravings and low gasps, stroked his neck and collarbone, and whispered in his ear with a hoarse voice: "You are no longer the Lu family's baby, you are still my baby."

The lamp in the master bedroom of the Lu family's old house was lit all night.Firstly, it was because of the feelings he had poured into Lu Xijia over the years, and secondly, because his grandson had lived in other people's homes for more than ten years.Mr. Lu was going to call Lu Youning that night, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu on the grounds that Lu Yun had left a message.The old man couldn't bear it when he was getting old, and finally fell into a coma when the sky was about to dawn.

The old lady couldn't sleep all night because of Lu Xijia and Lu Yun's words, what appeared in her mind was Lu Xijia's appearance for a while, and Lu Youning's face for a while.The balance between inner emotion and rationality is always oscillating.The relationship with a child that has been raised for more than ten years does not mean that it can be discarded just by throwing it away, not to mention that she has always disliked Lu Xijia's suffering and grievances.

It's just that she didn't recognize Lu Youning back to the Lu family, but she was even more sorry for her biological son and daughter-in-law as Mr. Lu said.If Lu Youning wanted to return to the Lu family as the young master of the Lu family, Lu Xijia would no longer have any place in the Lu family.

Old Madam Lu's heart was full of bitterness, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, she walked out the bedroom door with mixed steps.He even complained to himself involuntarily. If he hadn't spoiled and indulged Lu Xijia in every possible way when he brought Lu Xijia back home, even if Lu Xijia left the Lu family alone, she probably wouldn't have encountered too much harshness in her future life.

But after all, Lu Yun is still there.The reason why Lu Xijia and Lu Yun were allowed to ease the relationship at the beginning was to plan ahead for Lu Xijia's future when she and the old man were no longer alive.I don't want to use it here by mistake right now.

The old lady Lu's sad face eased a little, she walked out of the bedroom and walked down the stairs slowly, just in time to see the cook coming out of the kitchen with a steaming breakfast.She walked into the dining room and sat down in front of the table, leaning on the corner of the table, and motioned to the busy cook to remove a portion of the breakfast for two from the table.

The cook looked up towards the second floor as if aware of it, "Is the old man still up?"

The old lady Lu explained softly with her eyes half closed: "I slept a little late last night."

The cook put the plate in her hand back on the table, dragged her hands on the apron in front of her, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked vaguely, "Is there something bothering the old lady and the old gentleman?"

After finishing the question, Mrs. Lu suddenly raised her head and looked at her, her slightly aged eyes were full of solemnity and sensitivity.The cook made up her mind secretly, and asked with a hesitant expression, "Is it about the young master?"

The old lady Lu raised her eyelids and looked at her steadily, "What do you know?"

The cook bent down to the old lady's ear, and told her about seeing Lu Yun and Lu Xijia walking out of Lu Xijia's bedroom disheveledly in their pajamas that morning.

She has been working in the Lu family for several years, and the relationship between Lu Yun and Lu Xijia can be clearly seen in her eyes. Not to mention that although the relationship between the two has improved recently, it is really surprising that the relationship has changed so quickly. It's unbelievable.She rubbed her fingers a little nervously, and spoke carefully, "I came from the countryside. Even if there is no extra kang in our house, there is no such thing as brothers of this age sleeping together at night."

Born in a rural area with a conservative mindset, she naturally didn't think in that direction about the brothers of the Lu family, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this matter, and there was something weird about it that was bright but unexplainable, so she kept it in her heart when she turned around. With a mind.

The old lady Lu was shocked when she heard the words, and sat in the chair for a long time without saying anything.All the incomprehensible details became clear and transparent, and all the pictures that had been easily ignored became full of meaning.

"So it's like this... So it's like this..." The old lady Lu muttered in a trance, her whole body seemed to be in a daze, her eyes fell straight and loose in the void, her heart seemed to be floating in the sea. heavy.It was not until a long time later that she finally muttered to herself, her voice was so soft that others could hardly hear it, "It's okay, it's okay...it's okay...it turns out that it's still a child of the Lu family..."

She raised her head and stared in the direction of the bedroom on the second floor, wondering what she was calculating.After a while, she withdrew her eyes as usual and looked at the respectful cook beside her, squinting her eyes and asking in an unclear tone: "Didn't the young master warn you that you can't say something casually when you work in this house?" ?"

The cook was caught off guard and froze in place, and after a few seconds she stammered and said, "Eldest, Eldest Young Master told me, but Eldest Young Master doesn't live at home all year round. I've thought about it these days, and I still think it's better to tell you -"

The old lady Lu shook her head invisibly, and interrupted her in a cold tone: "You have been in the Lu family for so long, don't you know who is the head of the Lu family now? The Lu family will give you an advance payment for the remaining half year's salary, You pack your luggage and leave here tomorrow."

Lu Xi Jiahao didn't notice what happened in the Lu family.He felt as if he had had a long dream.In the dream, the sun was shining brightly, the wild flowers on the roadside were blooming brilliantly, and there was a hint of sweetness hidden in the light breeze.And just after many days like this passed, he finally waited for a storm that was about to fall.

Before the storm came, he indulged himself in the sea of ​​love for the last time.And now, waking up from the dream, he should get out of bed calmly and face the storm of his life without complaint or hesitation.

This morning, after Lu Xijia got up, she carefully brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes. When she walked down from the second floor holding her mobile phone, Lu Yun was sitting at the dining table as before, with another steaming breakfast on the opposite side.Lu Xijia sat down at the dining table with a natural expression, placed her mobile phone by the table, and reached for the soft and sweet toast on the plate.

When the fingertips touched the toast, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.Lu Xijia withdrew her hand and glanced at the caller ID that was beating on the screen. It was the young man from a rich family who had had a drink together.

Lu Xijia curled her fingertips slightly, and picked up the phone from the table naturally.A lot can happen and a lot can change in one night.

The upper circles have never lacked any medium for delivering messages.Maybe at this time Lin Xi had already learned about his life experience from Lin Yuan, or maybe Lu Youning was already sitting at the Lu family's dining table enjoying breakfast.So now, his storm is finally coming.

He lowered his eyes to pick up the phone, and said slowly, "Hello."

However, the expected scene did not appear, and the rich young master asked him loudly on the phone: "Young Master Lu, are you out drinking today? My buddy has made some interesting things here, do you want to come and have a look?"

Lu Xijia was slightly taken aback, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.A few seconds later, he raised his eyes blankly and looked at Lu Yun who was sitting opposite.The latter noticed his gaze, and raised his eyes as usual, "Go if you want, call me before you go home at night, and I'll pick you up."

Lu Xijia's hand on the phone gradually tightened.After a long silence, he looked back at the person on the other end of the phone and said, "No, I won't go. Don't call me again in the future."

He hung up the phone abruptly and stood up from the dining table.

Since I was a child, I have stubbornly and conservatively believed that boys should not shed tears.When he mistakenly thought that he was locked out by Lu Yun, he didn't cry, but his eyes were red.Hearing Lu Yun tell him personally that when the two were no longer brothers, he didn't cry, but his eyes turned red.

At this moment, as if he could no longer restrain himself, he threw himself into Lu Yun's arms and cried loudly: "Brother...Brother...I haven't passed CET-[-] yet..."

Lu Yun held him in his arms, lowered his head and kissed him tenderly, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

The storm will come one day.Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow——

But he will eventually become no longer afraid to move forward.

--Finish--
