Two Continents

That night, Bai Che bought a plane ticket and flew back to China. Ji Kaifeng failed to catch up with his brother, and was left here anxiously waiting for his brother's news every day.

And his brother seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he didn't reply to the message.Ji Kaifeng didn't even care about studying, he sat on the steps of the house and stared at the nests the birds built under the eaves of his house.He didn't know where the mother bird had gone, but when he looked up, he could see the screaming little chicks in the nest, and he felt inexplicably sad.

The mobile phone has now become Ji Kaifeng's personal pendant, which he carries everywhere, staring at the screen every minute, even taking a shower.

Ji Kaifeng, who skipped class and didn't go to school, was staring at the bird's nest in a daze, when suddenly he was slapped hard on the shoulder.

Unsurprisingly, it was Tang Ai: "Hey, the brat sits here and misses your brother? I got a message from him! Do you want to listen?"

Ji Kaifeng suddenly stood up and turned to his brother Ai. This made Tang Ai happy, and worried that his buddies would relax a little: "Your brother asked me to take good care of you."

"What else?" Ji Kaifeng couldn't believe it and it was gone.

Tang Ai shook his head: "Your brother has only been away for three days, and he has been following the road for two days. What else can you tell him to say?"

Ji Kaifeng's tense body relaxed, staggered and almost fell.It's only been three days... Every minute and every second of these three days feels like a year to him.

At this time, he looked down at the phone again. The empty screen made him feel extremely disappointed. His brother sent Tang Ai a message without replying to him.He suddenly thought that it should be four o'clock in the morning in China, and his brother didn't rest at four o'clock, would he be exhausted...

"Okay, obediently go to school and wait for your brother to come back."

Tang Ai packed his schoolbag and sent him to school like a duck.

Naturally, Ji Kaifeng didn't go to the dance class, Ye Xiaoxuan couldn't see him, so she dragged her brother Ye Yunfei to the door.Ye Yunfei actually planned to come over to ask Tang Ai if he had any updates on Bai Che's situation, but maybe Bai Che was too busy and didn't say anything to Tang Ai.So Ye Yunfei left without gaining anything from this trip.

Bai Che went back for more than half a month, Ji Kaifeng couldn't sit still any longer, and used the pocket money he had saved to buy a plane ticket to go back to China, but was caught by Tang Ai as soon as he left the house.

"Little ancestor, don't go back and make trouble for your brother!"

Then he was dragged back with his luggage by the "temporary guardian" Tang Ailian, and sat in the room sulking.He really wanted to go back and help his brother, because he knew that what happened this time must be something serious, so suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and started searching the Internet for Father Bai's name.

Finally, he found a piece of news on a financial news media, and Ji Kaifeng quickly read it and his eyes widened in shock—the chairman of Wanding Group owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and was murdered in a mansion with a woman.

Ji Kaifeng read it again three times before he knocked on Tang Ai's door as if he had lost his soul. After reading it, Tang Ai completely lost his soul.The two lost souls sat face to face in the room for a while, and Tang Ai, who came back to his senses, booked two tickets.

It was as if the magnetic fields of Tang Ai and Bai Che resonated, Bai Che sent a message to Tang Ai almost at the same time: Don't come back to look for me, I'll be back the day after tomorrow.Ji Kaifeng grabbed Tang Ai's cell phone almost like grabbing a cell phone and read his brother's content repeatedly.

Ji Kaifeng had been sitting at the door waiting for his brother every day for the past two days. When he accidentally looked up, he found an adult bird in the nest under the eaves, snuggling up with a nest of chicks.

His brother did come back two days later, and he lost weight obviously in just one month.

After Bai Che came back, he first talked to Tang Ai in the room for a long time. Ji Kaifeng listened outside the door. Tang Ai's voice was loud and excited at first. I pressed it back.

"What can you do when you come back, drink the northwest wind with me?"

Then Tang Ai's room fell silent, and Ji Kaifeng imagined Tang Ai's dejected appearance.

Then his brother's voice came out vaguely again: "Xiao Aizi, finish your college studies well, and then talk about supporting me."

What followed didn't look like a conversation, but rather like Bai Che was explaining many things to Tang Ai.

The door opened, Bai Che looked at Ji Kaifeng who was standing outside the door, and rubbed his head as usual: "Come on, I have something to tell you."

Ji Kaifeng anxiously followed his brother to the first floor. Bai Che asked him to sit down, and pulled out a chair to sit on himself. It seemed that it took a lot of energy to stand. Ji Kaifeng looked at his brother. My heart hurts very much.

His brother looked into his eyes and spoke with great difficulty: "Xiaofeng, I made an agreement with your brother Ai that he will take care of you from now on. My father... has passed away, and I have to go back to take care of my mother and Nana. Are you here?" Living here with Brother Ai is guaranteed, and you can continue to go to school."

"No! I'm going to follow you!" Ji Kaifeng shouted eagerly almost before his brother finished speaking, then grabbed his brother's hand, and said in a wet voice, crying or crying: " I can... I can not go to school! Brother, you can't leave me..."

Bai Che sighed: "Stupid or not, our family owes a lot of debts, be obedient, follow your elder brother Ai, he can continue to support your education and grow up, you will not be able to eat with me."

Ji Kaifeng didn't say anything, just hugged his brother's arm tightly.

Unexpectedly, his brother turned cold and called him by his full name: "Ji Kaifeng, I won't want you. I want to sell this house. You can either follow Tang Ai, or you will live on the street." His brother's harsh words were shocked, and he let go of his hand suddenly. Taking advantage of the situation, his brother shook off his arm and went back to the room, locked the door and did not come out for a whole day.

Just when Ji Kaifeng was in a daze, Tang Ai walked behind him at some point and put his arms around the little boy: "If you follow Ah Che, you will put a burden on him, even though our family has suffered financially this year. The good influence is a bit tight, but it’s still okay to continue reading the book.”

Tang Ai actually thought that Ji Kaifeng was a good kid from the bottom of his heart. He knew that life with Ah Che would be difficult, but this kid valued friendship. Even if he tightened his belt, he would continue to support such a kid.

Ji Kaifeng's thoughts were extremely chaotic, and he went back to his room listlessly.

He just sat at the table like this until the sun went down and the room was pitch black, still sitting quietly like a statue.A slight movement outside the door woke him up, and he could hear the door of his brother's room opening.

Ji Kaifeng waited until the whole room became quiet again before he tiptoed out of the room, went downstairs, walked to the living room, hid in the corner and looked at Bai Che who was sitting in front of the French window with his back turned to him.

His brother didn't turn on the light, maybe he didn't want Ji Kaifeng to come out with him, but he just took advantage of the light outside the house to organize documents and pack some things.

Ji Kaifeng saw a letter wrapped in an extremely beautiful cardboard folder next to his brother. He knew what it was. It was the pre-admission letter from Pudong University. It was just delivered to the mailbox today, and Tang Ai took it back Put it on the table.

He just watched his brother put away the acceptance letter and put it together with other discarded documents.Before he put it down completely, his brother's fingers lingered for a long time on the English name of the university that was shining silver under the cold light.This is the admission letter from the world's top ten universities, which was abandoned in a pile of waste paper.

In his last life, his brother went to college, and the accident happened to the Bai family in the last year of college, and both parents were there. It wasn't such absurd reason, it wasn't because of a woman who got involved in someone else's family and the family was ruined.

The reason was so absurd that Ji Kaifeng couldn't prepare as planned.He didn't even know how Bai Che, who still had half a semester of high school unfinished, was going to live with him and his sister.It was hard work in the previous life, but Bai Che, who graduated from university, found a job and continued to support two small oil bottles for school.

At this moment, Bai Che was also very confused, grieving for his lost father and his mother who had a heart attack and was lying in the intensive care unit, with his head bowed.Ji Kaifeng hid in the corner and saw the cold light outside the window illuminating a tear that slid down his brother's cheek.

With just one drop, his brother slightly adjusted his sitting posture and continued to pack the documents cross-legged.Ji Kaifeng was moved and decided to follow Tang Ai, so that he could find a way to earn some money and quietly let Tang Ai subsidize his brother.

He thought so, but when his brother packed up the house and asked the intermediary to sell all the assets here to fill up the huge debt hole, and when he was about to return home at the airport, he wanted to follow his brother to death.

Maybe it's because the annoying Tang Ai cried too sadly, as if he was saying goodbye to his buddies, crying so much that Ji Kaifeng seemed to be saying goodbye to his brother too.

Bai Che patted Tang Ai's back: "Don't be ashamed, don't cry, maybe your future girlfriend is nearby, okay, you cry like I'm going to die."

Tang Ai was sobbing: "Bah, bah, bah! What did you say on the plane!"

Bai Che sighed: "So don't cry, remember, you concentrate on your studies and sell our project to Ye Yunfei. With the Ye family in charge, Uncle Yuan dare not use the platform to launder money."

Ji Kaifeng finally vaguely remembered why he had a bad feeling for Uncle Yuan at first, and then realized that the timeline of many things had been advanced.

His brother signed him up for the national standard dance, met Ye Xiaoxuan, and with Ye Yunfei supporting their electronic platform, the platform developed rapidly. Uncle Yuan, who was affected by the bad economic situation this year, wanted to use their platform to withdraw money.Uncle Yuan's incident happened when his brother was in college.

At this moment, Tang Ai hugged his buddy bear, choked up and said: "Ache, wait for me to come back, I will come back to find you as soon as I have a holiday!"

"..." Ji Kaifeng found that he no longer hated Tang Ai at this moment, but just stared at his brother blankly.

Bai Che finally looked at him, and the hand hanging beside him moved. Ji Kaifeng felt in a daze that his brother was going to rub his head as usual in the next second.

In the end, Bai Che didn't move, but just said something lightly and follow you, brother Ai.

Just turned around and left.
