Two Continents

In an old house with one bedroom and one living room, just one bed takes up a lot of space, and the weather in late summer is very hot at night. Ji Kaifeng woke up from the heat, and opened his eyes in a daze, but there was no brother beside him.He woke up suddenly, got off the bed and walked out gently, and faintly heard the sound of soft talking in the kitchen.

"Nana is at Uncle's house, they agreed to raise Nana, well, don't worry."

Ji Kaifeng peeped at his brother on the phone in the living room.

"If you don't come back, you can't afford a lawyer. No, don't send money. It's not just about the lawyer's fee. I'm underage and can't become a legal person. The board of directors split up the shares. There is no...no will...by their The lawyer took advantage of the void. Still have to pay... the debt is not cleared."

After his brother finished speaking, he quietly listened to the angry voice on the phone. After a while, the phone finally calmed down a little, and Ji Kaifeng couldn't hear clearly when he said it was just a matter of business.

But his brother continued: "Thank Yunfei for me, and tell him that I will return the money to him. Help me politely tell Uncle Yuan that no, no, you know what Uncle Yuan actually wants me to do with him , Once this kind of thing is done, it is impossible to quit.”

"Wake up and sleep... The doctor said that he couldn't stand the stimulation anymore, so he was transferred to the hospital. Now it's the hospitalization fee. Well, there is Yunfei's money. After paying for this period of time, you don't have to worry. Okay, little Aizi, you Save me some traffic, go to class with peace of mind, and hang up."

His brother sat cross-legged on the concrete floor in the kitchen for a long time, while Ji Kaifeng just watched him through the glass door in the living room.Then his brother took out a cigarette, bent over and put his elbows on his legs, lit the cigarette and smoked.

In just over a month, when did he start smoking... Ji Kaifeng stared at his brother's figure, and felt that his brother seemed to have a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Ji Kaifeng just watched his brother smoke a whole cigarette immersed in worry, and quietly crawled back to bed and pretended to sleep when his brother stubbed out the cigarette butt.

His brother went to bed with slight movements, lay down and closed his eyes, Ji Kaifeng pretended to turn over in his sleep, and then arched into his brother's arms.The smell of inferior cigarettes remaining on Bai Che's body was a bit pungent, and Ji Kaifeng buried his head in his brother's shoulder, feeling his brother gently stroking his hair.

The next day, Bai Che took him to his uncle's house, which made Ji Kaifeng a little confused.

The uncle's house is in a high-end residential area in Linjiang, and the aunt opened the door for them with a displeased face. She stood at the door and watched them put on their slippers to make sure they would not step on the polished floor of her house before letting the children in.

The aunt called out to her husband, and sat down on the sofa in the middle: "Xiao Che, didn't we say that you would only visit your sister once a month? And who is this kid?"

Bai Che lowered his eyes slightly, and replied in a nice voice, "I'm sorry, auntie, I have something to ask you and uncle today, and I won't bother you later."

As soon as she heard Bai Che ask them one thing, her slender eyebrows huddled together: "We have done a lot to raise your sister, this is for your father's sake, Xiao Che, you have to know the truth of your relatives." There are limits to help."

There was a cough from upstairs, and the uncle came down after wearing a bathrobe, looking like he just woke up: "Xiao Che, look, it takes a lot of money to raise your sister, that's why I took your father's shares, and I'll give you that money You won’t spend a penny with your aunt! It’s all spent on your sister. So why did you come to your uncle so early today? It’s not about money, is it?”

The aunt changed her legs and leaned lazily on the sofa cushion. She accepted her husband's words and said, "Actually, we also want to take you in. It's not that you will become an adult soon and don't need a guardian." She remembered something, sour Continued sourly: "Xiao Che, you are so good, you are not as good as our family. It is a good thing to practice more."

Ji Kaifeng was very angry when he was listening, if his brother hadn't restrained him, he could have picked up the things on the table and slapped the bastard uncle and aunt on the face.

"It's not about money." Bai Che was still begging for help, "I want uncle to communicate with the principal of Nana School so that my younger brother can go to school together."

The uncle looked at Ji Kaifeng and asked doubtfully, "Your brother?"

Bai Che put his arm on Ji Kaifeng's back: "Your younger brother."

Afraid of being an illegitimate child?Could it be that woman's?Uncle thought sarcastically, it's embarrassing for the son of the wife to do this, is his nephew stupid in reading?

Bai Che asked his uncle again: "This is the last thing I ask of you, there is nothing else to bother you."

With these words, his uncle agreed: "Okay, then uncle, I will help your younger brother to enter the school. The tuition fee is not our responsibility."

"You don't have to worry about tuition fees."

At this moment, a small figure appeared on the stairs, hiding behind the banister and crying aggrievedly. Bai Nana thought that her brother didn't want her anymore, so she came out to take a look at them, stomped their feet, and ran back to her room crying.

Ji Kaifeng subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his brother. His brother must be really sad.There was an unknown emotion winding up like a crooked thread, Ji Kaifeng suddenly realized as coolly as being poured with a pot of cold water, his brother is only him now.

Bai Che was urged to leave by his aunt without seeing his younger sister. Perhaps it is more accurate that Bai Nana does not want to see her brother now.When he left the community, Ji Kaifeng felt that his brother touched his pocket habitually, and then restrained himself. His brother developed a bad habit of smoking to relieve his emotions.

"Brother." Ji Kaifeng stopped in front of his brother and hugged his waist, "You still have me."

Bai Che was trembling, and Ji Kaifeng could feel it.His brother hugged him, seemed to restrain himself for a few seconds before laughing hoarsely: "And you little oil bottle?"

The next moment his brother let go of him, patted his back and continued walking forward.

Bai Che sent Ji Kaifeng back to the old small house where they lived, and made a simple lunch before going out.

"Where are you going?" Ji Kaifeng stuck his little tail up.

His brother was changing clothes, he laughed at Ji Kaifeng and asked a silly question: "Make money, otherwise what would we eat."

Ji Kaifeng insisted on asking the bottom line, as if his brother was going to engage in some illegal business: "Where are you going to make money?"

"..." His brother ignored him lazily, this brat is now in charge of him!

Ji Kaifeng blocked the door, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I don't go to school." Then he shouted: "I don't go to school! Where did you get the money for me to go to school!"

"...What the hell are you worrying about, you have to fuck me." His brother moved him away with great effort, and then went out the door.

Ji Kaifeng has been avoiding confrontation since he was a child, and solving problems from the side, just like he secretly booked a plane ticket, this time Ji Kaifeng secretly followed his brother under the banner of "caretaker".

Facts have proved that Ji Kaifeng really thought too much, and his brother simply worked in a restaurant.The economy has not been very good this year, and Tang Ai's father stuffed some things into this job, and it took some affection to stuff the underage Bai Che into it.

Tang Ai's family has already stuffed Bai Che with a lot of money for emergency use. Bai Che is really embarrassed to ask his good brother's parents to give him anything, and Tang Ai's family's capital chain is also very tight this year. The money given was resolutely returned by Bai Che.

There was another person that Bai Che least expected.

Lawyer Guo sent Bai Che a sum of money. Although it was not much, it also said: "Heaven and earth conscience, this is your uncle Guo's advance payment for a lifetime meal. Xiaobai, you want your uncle Guo to come to eat at any time in the future!"Don't play tricks!

There will always be someone in this world who is passing on warmth.

Bai Che didn't tell Lawyer Guo about their family. It must be that Lawyer Guo missed Tang Ai's craftsmanship and wanted to have a meal, so he heard it from Tang Ai.

When Ji Kaifeng had dinner with his brother and said that he hated his uncle and aunt, his brother just rubbed his head: "Learn to deal with different people, just know what kind of person is the person you want to be."

Ji Kaifeng has been worried about where his brother got the money for his education, because he knows that all his brother's money is spent on Baimu's hospitalization expenses.He is very contradictory, he doesn't want to burden his brother, but how to support his brother if he doesn't read it.He wouldn't give Tang Ai a chance to raise his brother!

Moreover, his brother spent more time going out to work, and even came back in the middle of the night, often smelling of alcohol.Ji Kaifeng was very worried about what his brother would do for money, so he followed him out again.

Now I followed to the Hutaoli Music Bar, where young people in twos and threes enjoyed special food in a romantic atmosphere and ordered cocktails with sentimentality.The bar is decorated with flowers and plants, and even has a few delicate birdcage seats.

At this time, the atmosphere is very good, a few soft purple lights are on in the dark bar, and there is music to provide a musical atmosphere for guests to enjoy snacks and cocktails.

Probably for the sake of atmosphere, the light on the bandstand was relatively dark, but Ji Kaifeng couldn't take his eyes off the person playing the piano.

It was his brother, wearing a black shirt.

This was the first time Ji Kaifeng heard his brother play the piano, but he didn't play it for him alone.He thought his brother could only play famous songs, but tonight's songs are all love songs.Ji Kaifeng always thought that Bai Che didn't like playing the piano, only now did he know that Bai Che liked to play the piano by himself, otherwise why would he play so many songs.

What Bai Che doesn't like is playing the piano in front of others, but for his tuition...

In his brother's gentle voice, Ji Kaifeng's eyes were hot, and his wish that he had never been able to realize in his previous life was fulfilled in this way tonight.

Bai Che's gentle eyes looked over, and then flew away like a dragonfly.

All the noisy conversations and laughter around disappeared, and Ji Kaifeng seemed to only hear the sound of his brother's piano and singing.

In Ji Kaifeng's heart, this is the piano his brother played for him alone.
