Judgment

lead:

For Li Mingyi, her brother is a real person, but also just a fantasy.

He knew from an early age that he had a lost brother.

This elder brother he had never seen before was a sustenance in Li Mingyi's heart since childhood.

During the days when he was neglected by his parents, Li Mingyi relied on fantasizing about the brother he had never met to satisfy his need for family affection.

In his imagination, his brother should be handsome, omnipotent, and very gentle.Relying on this virtual imagination, he was able to keep the warmth in his heart during many cold and helpless days.

For him, the word "brother" is beautified by distance and imagination into a symbol.

A psychological sustenance that has supported him for more than ten years.

--------------------------

"Good morning, Your Highness."

As always, when Wang Chen came down from the second floor, William was standing at the stairs waiting for him.

The young candidate was still delirious and sleepy.William combed Wang Chen's messy hair gently with a comb, helped him tidy up his messy pajamas, and handed him a wet towel.

After Wang Chen wiped his face and regained consciousness, William led him to the dining table and handed him the cutlery.

In front of Wang Chen, who got up early, was an fried egg and a glass of milk.

William has been preparing milk for Wang Chen since a while ago. He thought that now is the developmental period of his young Highness. Since he can't replenish human souls at any time, he should reluctantly use milk as nutrition.

"William, even if I drink ten cups a day, I won't grow any taller." Wang Chen looked at the cup of milk and pushed it away without a trace.

"No milk, no fried eggs."

William's face remained unchanged, and he scooped up the plate containing the fried eggs.

"I was just talking, and I didn't say no to drinking." Wang Chen resentfully picked up the glass and drank all the milk.

"Drink it up, return the fried egg to me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The young monster and the butler were enjoying themselves, but some of the onlookers had their eyes widened.

Zhou Zimu looked at this scene with incredible eyes.

"Are they playing a butler game?"

Liu Tao took it easy and said, "It's not a game. You have to remember that in this family, the boss is the young master, and the cold-faced man is the housekeeper."

"Is this your game setting?" Zhou Zimu's eyes widened when he saw William reaching out to wipe away a drop of milk from Wang Chen's mouth.

"Hey, are you envious?" Liu Tao suddenly smiled, "I'll feed you too, come on, ah——"

Looking at the chopsticks handed in front of him, Zhou Zimu smiled slightly.Just when Liu Tao thought he would not take this trick, Zhou Zimu suddenly pulled his hand and bit down the snack on his chopsticks.

While chewing, Zhou Zimu said: "Next time, put something salty, remember, I don't eat sweet."

"You, you—!" Liu Tao clutched his right hand with a look of grief and indignation.

Originally, he just wanted to deliberately disgust Zhou Zimu, how could he think that this person is so thick-skinned that he actually ate it!

Someone laughed gleefully, Liu Tao turned around angrily, and when he saw that it was a certain birdman, he had to close his mouth reluctantly.

The lessons learned in the past few days have taught Liu Tao not to provoke people who should not be provoked.

But the bird man walked straight to them, no, he walked directly in front of Zhou Zimu.

"you are very funny."

Zhou Zimu looked at this man and noticed that there was a bird feather on his head that he didn't know where it came from.

"You're funny too," he replied.

"Bai Fei." Birdman stretched out his hand and introduced himself. "Now it's the young master's captive and toy."

Zhou Zimu only thought he was joking, and imitated him and said: "Zhou Zimu, I am pawning it to your young master now."

"I remember, I've 'seen' you before."

The birdman Bai Fei said something inexplicably, took a look at Liu Tao, then walked to the side and sat down.He looked at the plates in front of everyone and asked, "Why is there no breakfast for me?"

Liu Tao snorted, "I'm sorry, there's no bird food here. If you're hungry, go dig some worms in the garden to eat."

Bai Fei just smiled and looked at him.

"I prefer some food with special flavors to bugs."

Liu Tao shivered and stopped talking.

Zhou Zimu secretly looked at all the people in this room, and felt that they all gave off a very special feeling, as if they didn't exist in this world.Even though he was sitting in front of these people eating breakfast together, he felt that he was not squeezed into their world at all.

"Last night, there was a lot of trouble in the First Hospital."

Wang Chen said suddenly, "The son of Li Huasheng, the richest man in City N, is missing, and everyone is looking for him now."

"Find me." Zhou Zimu replied, "but I'm not his only son."

"You didn't say before that your father is Li Huasheng."

"Three days ago, I didn't even know he was my father." Zhou Zimu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't even know that I have a younger brother who is critically ill."

Wang Chen was keenly aware of the hostility in his tone, "You hate them."

"No, they hate me. But they can't do without me. One wants me to save the other son's life, and the other waits for me to save his life."

Wang Chen thought the story was quite interesting, and asked with great interest, "Then what do you think?"

Zhou Zimu raised the corner of his mouth, "What does their life or death have to do with me?"

"Even if your own brother will die because of it?"

"If he doesn't die, I will die." Zhou Zimu remained expressionless, "In this case, let him die."

When he said this, the blackness in his eyes was deep, and he was lifeless.

Wang Chen suddenly clutched his stomach, "...William, I'm hungry."

Bai Fei nodded in agreement, "The delicious food is in front of me, and I'm pretty hungry too."

At that moment just now, the emotions emanating from Zhou Zimu's body were so strong that several monsters in the room aroused a strong appetite at the same time.It was a kind of hatred and hatred that I didn't even realize, and it was very tempting.

The only monster butler who remained silent looked at the two salivating creatures in front of him, and reminded: "Your Highness, eating indiscriminately will ruin your stomach."

Then, he said to Birdman: "Until your boss comes to pay your ransom, don't even think about eating a single meal here."

"Is this also okay?" Bai Fei asked pitifully, pointing at Liu Tao.

"No, that's His Highness's reserve food."

This was the first time Liu Tao thanked William for speaking. He twisted his hips and sat a little further away from the hungry birdman.

Zhou Zimu didn't understand the true meaning of these people's words, and he was not interested in understanding it. He just looked at Wang Chen and said, "Li Huasheng is very capable, and he will probably find this place."

"He might find another place." Wang Chen said, "Who did you live with before being brought back by Li Huasheng?"

Zhou Zimu's face changed suddenly, he thought of his adoptive parents.He disappeared suddenly and was nowhere to be seen. Will Li Huasheng, who was in a hurry, find trouble with them?

Wang Chen looked at his face and said, "If they find out that you escaped by yourself, they will probably use someone you care about to threaten you. What are you going to do?"

His face changed several times, and finally Zhou Zimu said coldly:

"Then an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If he really pushes me to that extent, I will also grab his weakness."

"Oh, your seriously ill brother?"

"Li Mingyi." Zhou Zimu said: "He should also be in the No. [-] Hospital now. I want you to do me a favor and help me find out which ward he is in."

"You do not know?"

Zhou Zimu laughed sarcastically, "I don't know, of course they dare not let me know. But now, I have to go and see this brother."

"What are you going to do after you find him?" Wang Chen asked.

Thinking of that scene, Zhou Zimu gradually felt excited.

"He may be waiting to trade my life for his."

He said word by word: "I will tell him that he will never wait for that day. Then, I will watch him die with my own eyes." Zhou Zimu had a pleasant smile on his pale face.

"What if Li Huasheng threatened you with the life of someone you care about to save him?" Wang Chen asked curiously.He wanted to see how far this person could go.

"Then I'll pierce this heart." Zhou Zimu tightly covered his heart with his hands, with distorted pleasure on his face. "I want them to see with their own eyes that the only hope that can save him is shattered, and let him watch this heart overflow with blood!"

Zhou Zimu is not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself.When someone forced him to a dead end, he would choose to die together without hesitation.Zhou Zimu is happy to exchange the despair of others at the price of death.As long as he thinks of that scene, the corners of his mouth can't stop smiling.

Twisted, vicious, devilish.

However, looking at Zhou Zimu like this, Wang Chen was very satisfied.

He thought, maybe this person could really be food.This time, he will brew a delicacy himself, just like what Jean did in the first place.

So he said: "I will do everything to help you and make your wish come true."

Zhou Zimu looked up at him, and heard the young man whisper:

"And the price is your soul."

At that moment, Zhou Zimu saw death in the pair of black eyes facing him.The young man's tone was flat, but it reminded him of the demon that tempted mankind to fall.Demons always whisper in human ears, promising various benefits, and finally drag people into infinitely terrifying regions, where they are tortured.

But he didn't back down.

"Yes. But, I have to wait until I see my younger brother die with my own eyes."

"You hate him that much?"

"No hate." Zhou Zimu smiled, "There is nothing to hate about a stranger."

Without love, how can there be hatred.

Zhou Zimu just really hated the brother he had never met but had everything he never had, that's all.

Last quote:

After confirming that her father was looking for her brother, Li Mingyi tried many ways to stop him.

But in the end, all his obstacles were like a joke in front of Li Huasheng.It didn't take much effort for Li Huasheng to learn all the news about his eldest son.That night, he threw a photo in front of Li Mingyi's bed, like a defeated general.

"This is your brother, a trash who can't stand up and has no education." Li Huasheng said in a cold tone, "How can the life of this kind of person compare with yours?"

"Being able to save you with his life is his only value."

"I'll go see him tomorrow."

From the beginning to the end, Li Mingyi didn't say a word.It was not until Li Huasheng left that he scooped up the photo Duanxiang.

The young man in the photo is pale, thin, and sitting in a wheelchair.

Looking at it, Li Mingyi suddenly laughed at himself.

"I imagined you to be omnipotent since I was a child, but in fact you are just an ordinary person." His tone was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

Such an older brother is not the great hero he dreamed of when he was a child.He even looked weaker than Li Mingyi who was seriously ill now.

"Since you can't protect me..." Li Mingyi smiled, "Then let me protect you."

He stroked the cheek of the person in the photo, looked out the window at the dark night, and made a decision in his heart.

---------------

A week ago, Li Mingyi made up her mind to protect her brother at all costs.

A week later, Zhou Zimu made up his mind to watch his younger brother die.

In this world, no one knows what will happen in the next second.

For example, the person you protect is looking forward to your death.
