the innermost part of the heart

, but he was so distracted that he obviously forgot some of the things Yu Xiaojiang taught him, not to mention that Aci was more proficient in using those abilities than he used to be almost instinctive.So he didn't know that when he was slumped against the wall outside Ah Ci's door, Ah Ci heard his footsteps and did not leave.

The eldest brother is guarding outside his door, why?Ah Ci stared blankly at the door of his own room, waiting for his brother to open the door at any time before coming in.

But no.

Half an hour later, Ah Ci finally couldn't help turning over and getting out of bed, and he quietly approached the door of the room.The eldest brother didn't come in, but his footsteps didn't leave either. Is he still there?Ah Ci leaned against the door and listened, but he couldn't hear anything.Ah Ci tiptoed to his bedside to get an empty cup, stuck it on the door and continued listening, but still couldn't hear anything.

Could it be that the elder brother has quietly left?It shouldn't be!If he had already left, why didn't he hear footsteps?Unless his elder brother deliberately concealed his footsteps, as he did.But it doesn't make sense. Could it be that his elder brother found out that he was eavesdropping?

Just when Ah Ci was about to open the door to have a look, he suddenly heard a light sigh from outside the door, followed by the sound of his elder brother's footsteps leaving.

Sure enough, he was there all the time!

After hearing his elder brother's footsteps coming down the stairs, Ah Ci gently opened the door a crack, but saw that his elder brother did not go back to sleep at all, but went to the study.

Ah Ci hesitated at the door of the room for 10 minutes, and finally made a decision. He risked being discovered by his brother and went to guard the door of the study. He wanted to see how his brother lived every day!

Ah Ci didn't expect that he would keep guard until dawn. Looking at the blurred silhouettes of his brother smoking one cigarette after another in the study, Ah Ci's heart became heavier and heavier.What kind of life did his elder brother live?Tell yourself this and that every day, but what about him?He smokes more than before, sleeps for less than three hours, and sees less and less food every day. How can the elder brother ruin his health like this?

Just when Ah Ci was so angry that he was about to open the door to arrest people, Ah Si suddenly came out.

Ah Si didn't expect to see Yang Muci at the door of the study, just about to yell, Ah Ci made a "shh" gesture, and then quickly came to Ah Si's side.

"Why are you here?" Ah Si kept his voice extremely low.

"My elder brother smokes like this every day and doesn't sleep?" Ah Ci's voice was also extremely low, but he could still hear the anger in it.

Ah Si nodded, but was still at a loss, "You are..."

"Who's outside? Ah Si?" After all, Ah Chu is not the same Ah Chu as before. His hearing and vigilance are much higher than before.Feeling a faint movement outside the door, Ah Chu simply asked, and got up to open the door.

"Don't say you saw me." Ah Ci ran to his room after finishing speaking.

Ah Si was dumbfounded.Is this Mr. Yang a monkey?Leaving the stairs alone, he jumped over the railing and climbed up to the second floor in two steps.How does this look like a well-injured person!He saw that Mr. Yang was healthier than his boss, and he didn't know how much.

"Si, what's the matter?" Ah Chu came out of the study, just in time to see Ah Si in a daze.

"No, I...I'm thinking whether I should make breakfast first, or go to the study to see you first." It's not so easy to tell a lie with Ah Si's dull personality.

"What breakfast are you making, what time is it?" Ah Chu looked at his watch, it was past four and not yet five. "Are you getting up earlier and earlier?"

"Boss, you are too." Ah Si happily blocked this sentence.

Ah Chu was taken aback, then smiled, "That's right."

"Now that you're up, come and practice boxing with me. I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm not used to it." Ah Chu called Ah Si to come in.

"Now? In the study?" Ah Si was dumbfounded, what kind of brain circuit does this boss have?Why can't he keep up!

"Do you have a better idea?" Ah Chu took the lead into the study.

"No, I'm just afraid of hurting you..." Ah Si's voice disappeared through the closed study door.

Ah Ci, who was hiding at the door of his room on the second floor, closed the door which was concealed, and dragged his limping legs back to the bed.He felt that he had to do something, and he couldn't let his brother go on like this. Maybe, he should talk to some people who knew.

It was rare that Ah Chu came to knock on the door during breakfast, but Ah Ci refused to get up, not because he was sleepy, but because his leg couldn't be discovered by his elder brother now.

"What's the matter, Ah Ci? Isn't it sick?" Seeing that Ah Ci refused to come out, Ah Chu pushed the door open and entered.

Ah Ci, who was hiding in the bed, was afraid that his elder brother would lift the quilt, so he blurted out in a hurry, "It's not because of your quarrel last night that I didn't sleep well." As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Ci regretted it, but he had already said it I can't get it back anyway.

But Ah Chu suddenly remembered that not only last night, but also the night before last, he seemed to have quarreled with Ah Ci, "Then you should sleep a little longer!" Ah Chu walked out awkwardly.

The door closed, Ah Chu went downstairs.Ah Ci turned over and sat up, raised his hand and gave himself a mouth.It's not that he doesn't know what's going on with his brother, how can he say such a thing?This is great, it must have hurt someone again!

After a while, Ah Chu knocked on the door again, but his voice was very soft, and his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing him, "Ah Ci, I left you breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat when you get up, we are going out gone."

Ah Ci didn't speak, because he didn't know whether he should answer or not.Ah Chu, who didn't hear Ah Ci's reply, didn't knock again, but walked away quietly.

Ah Ci hid by the window and watched Ah Si, elder brother and Yu Xiaojiang get into the car, and it was not until elder brother's car left that Ah Ci went downstairs to have breakfast.

After hastily eating breakfast and putting on a disguise, Ah Ci went out the back door, hailed a rickshaw, and went to Chunhe Hospital.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yuechun was taken aback when he saw Yang Muchi in the consulting room. He never thought that Ah Ci would come to call him. How could the ready-made doctor in their family allow him to come over?

Ah Ci pointed to his leg, and Xia Yuechun immediately realized that Ah Ci came in on his leg just now.

"How could it be so serious?" Xia Yuechun frowned immediately as he pulled up his trousers.This knee is already swollen! "Ah Chu just let you mess around?" Fortunately, there was no one else in the consulting room, so it was convenient for the two of them to talk.

"My elder brother doesn't know." Ah Ci retorted.

"It's already so serious and you can hide it from him?" Xia Yuechun was a little surprised.

"His sleeping problem is so serious, it's not like he can hide it from me!" Ah Ci lashed out.

Xia Yuechun was taken aback, and looked at Ah Ci, "You know?"

"What's going on?" Ah Ci must ask the matter clearly today.

"Who told you? Ah Si? Yu Xiaojiang?" In short, it couldn't be Ah Chu himself.Xia Yuechun asked.

So they all know, except him! "You don't have to worry about who told me, you just need to tell me, what did my elder brother dream about? Also, how long has he been having nightmares?"

"Why don't you ask him himself?" Xia Yuechun didn't know whether to tell Ah Ci about his situation behind Ah Chu's back, or, what level should be appropriate to tell Ah Ci.

"Do you think he will tell me the truth? If he could tell the truth, I wouldn't have to come here." The elder brother would have told him earlier that his legs would not be like this!

"How much do you know?" Xia Yuechun still decided to tell Ah Ci some truths. As for how much to say, it depends on Ah Ci's attitude.As Yuechun asked, he began to deal with Ah Ci's leg injury.

"I only know that he takes sleeping pills and will be awakened by nightmares." Ah Ci frowned, watching every movement of Xia Yuechun.Fluid extraction, intraosseous injections, and bandages all made him feel uncomfortable, but the most painful thing was the heartache for his elder brother.

"That's right, I know a lot!" Xia Yuechun didn't expect that what Ah Ci knew was so close to the truth.

"I'm not joking with you." Ah Ci was in a hurry.

"I'm not kidding either. These are almost all his symptoms. What else do you want to know?" After dealing with Ah Ci's leg, Xia Yuechun looked at Ah Ci.

"Did my elder brother dream of me?"

Xia Yuechun didn't expect Ah Ci to be so straightforward, so pointing at the point!

"Yes." So he also gave an affirmative promise.

"What did he dream about that made him suffer so much?" What Ah Ci wanted to know more was what did he do to his elder brother in his dream?

"Your death." After pondering for half a second, Xia Yuechun gave the answer directly.

"My death?" Ah Ci opened his eyes wide, not understanding what kind of answer this was.What Xia Yuechun meant was that he was here alive, but his elder brother dreamed that he was dead?

"To be exact, it was the accident where you went to die on his behalf. He seemed to have witnessed the scene of your fragmented explosion in his dreams every night."

Ah Ci opened his mouth wide, but couldn't find his own voice for a long time.This is too cruel!

"You also think it's cruel?" Xia Yuechun seemed to understand what Ah Ci was thinking, "Every night, the constant explosions tortured his spirit, no matter how strong a person is, they can't bear it."

"He, why didn't you tell me?" Ah Ci already had tears in his eyes, suffering from the pain of his elder brother.

"He doesn't want to trouble you, so he insists on not telling you." Xia Yuechun said.

bother me?What's the meaning? "Speak clearly." Ah Ci stared at Xia Yuechun tightly.

"Didn't you find out? The reason Ah Chu has been able to successfully hide it from you is because he doesn't have nightmares when he sleeps next to you." Looking at Ah Ci's expression of sudden realization, Xia Yuechun continued, "But he doesn't want to affect
