Morbid domestication

I leaned on the hospital bed and looked at the man sitting beside me, who was peeling an apple with a fruit knife.

he looks

It was the first time to do this kind of thing, the fruit knife was not very handy, and the apple was peeled with pits and holes. He seemed very dissatisfied, frowned slightly, and looked at the strangely shaped apple in his hand. A few knives cut the apple into a square.

"A Nian," he handed the apple in front of me: "Eat the apple."

I recovered from his face that looked the same as mine, and took the apple, "Thank you."

He paused while wiping his hands with a wet towel, and there seemed to be displeasure between his brows, but it quickly dissipated, he said.

"I'm your brother, there's no need to be so polite."

I didn't speak, just silently put the apple into my mouth and took a bite.

No one in the ward was speaking, and the atmosphere became quiet for a while, only the crisp sound of me slowly chewing an apple could be heard in the room. I could see that he wanted to ask me a lot of questions, but it might be because I just woke up and didn’t Ask out immediately.

In fact, I was also very surprised to see him. After all, I thought that in this life, I would never see him again—my twin brother, the real Xu Tangyi.

It's ridiculous to say that we have been together since the embryo, born on the same day, have the same face and blood type, and we have the most subtle and closest connection in the world.

We were supposed to be the closest, but because of our parents' failed marriage, we were separated for 16 years, so that we were sitting together now, and we couldn't speak for a while.

I don't know how he rescued me from Feng Jue, but it took a lot of thought to think about it.

An apple that was peeled by him with little pulp left was quickly eaten by me. I put the core aside and fell silent again.

"A Nian." Xu Tangyi sighed, "Where have you and Mom been all these years?"

I stared blankly at the white lines on the quilt, and replied, "Yuncheng."

It was a small southern city in the fourth tier, where it was like spring all the year round, and flowers bloomed all year round. It was a beautiful place. I still remember when I first arrived in Yuncheng, I asked my mother why I came here.

At that time, I hadn’t escaped from the sadness of my parents’ divorce and my brother’s divorce. I only felt that the world was gloomy.

I don't understand why my mother chose Yuncheng, which is four hours away from City B by plane.

The woman full of romanticism explained to me, "A place where flowers bloom all year round, but people's hearts are also soft. I will like this place after thinking about it."

What my mother didn't expect was that this new beginning she thought was the beginning of her tragedy...

"How is Mom doing now? Are you still in Yuncheng? You've been out of touch for so long, she should be worried, why don't you take this opportunity to bring her to City B, I now—"

"Mom is gone." I raised my head to interrupt Xu Tangyi's words.

He was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of my words.

"It was gone nine years ago," I repeated.

Xu Tangyi suddenly lowered his head, and put his hands on his forehead as if to cover up something. I heard his somewhat suppressed and distressed panting, and didn't speak.

It took a long time before Xu Tangyi raised his head.

His eyes were slightly red, and his emotions were still not calmed down. His voice was trembling: "How did Mom go? I remember that she has always been in good health. It is impossible, impossible..."

He couldn't go on, his eyes were full of mourning.

"She was sick, mentally." I exhaled tremblingly: "She felt too tired, so she committed suicide."

Yes, she is too tired, Yuncheng is beautiful, but it is not suitable for aloof and arrogant people, she has not been flattened by life, but broken by life.

After so many years, I still can't forget that day.

My mother, when I received the admission notice

The next day, wearing her favorite dress, smiling and lying on a bed covered with flowers, she committed suicide by burning charcoal on a sunny afternoon.

At that time, I hadn't seen her smile for a long time. She was either hoarse or sad and desperate, but when she left, she still chose the most decent and beautiful way.

After a long time, Xu Tang's image seemed to suppress his sadness a little, and he asked, "Then why haven't you come to City B to look for me and Dad in these nine years? I've been looking for you all these years, but I couldn't find you, but you are If you know I'm in City B, why don't you come to me?"

why?

I thought about it before. When I first arrived in Yuncheng, I thought about going back every day, but after more than ten years, things have changed, and my mood has long changed. Especially after my mother left, I think more about it. Get used to being alone.

Besides, what's the use of coming back?

"Isn't it good now?"

"Do you think it's good to call it like this now?" Xu Tangyi's tone was very light, but there was anger in it: "A Nian, I am your brother, and we are the closest brothers in the world. If it weren't for this accident, wouldn't you Are you going to see me forever?"

I was silent for a while, and then calmly replied: "I know you are doing well."

Xu Tangyi's face turned ugly. He might want to get angry, but I could see that he forcibly held back, and in the end he just took a few deep breaths.

"What's going on with you and Feng Jue?"

Feng Jue, when I heard this name, I was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously grasped the bed sheet with my hands, clenching my teeth unconsciously, I didn't want to answer Xu Tangyi's question.

However, he didn't seem to intend to get an answer, so he just continued: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, you can rest assured."

"I won't let him go."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened, and a familiar Zhang Yang's voice came from the door.

"Xu Tangnian, I'm here to see you!"

I turned my head and saw an unexpected person, but the moment I saw him, I let go of what I had been carrying all along, it was Feng Chen.

He was carrying an exaggerated fruit basket and strode in.He first looked at Xu Tangyi, frowned, and then said hello in a careless tone, "Boss Xu is here too."

Xu Tangyi stood up, and said displeasedly to Feng Chen: "I didn't allow you to come to visit."

Feng Chen first put the fruit basket on the table at the side, then lazily leaned against the wall at the side, raised his eyebrows and said in a tone of embarrassment: "I didn't say I came to see you, I came to see your brother .”

Then he looked at me, and deliberately raised his voice: "—Isn't it, Xu Tangnian."

"Honestly." Xu Tangyi said slowly, "I don't think my younger brother would have such a dubious friend."

Feng Chen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he stood up straight suddenly, with an angry look on his face.

"you--!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, I had no choice but to stop it.

"Feng Chen has helped me a lot." I looked at Xu Tangyi and called out softly, "Brother..."

Xu Tangyi was stunned for a while, and then said to me, "Ah Nian, then I'll deal with some work matters first."

Xu Tang wanted to leave.

Feng Chen walked to the chair next to my bed, sat down with a somewhat unruly movement, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." I paused and asked, "Are you okay, last time..."

The last time I was in the hotel, I didn't see Feng Chen when I was taken away, so I don't know what Feng Jue did to him.

Feng Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, at most Feng Jue will use the name of supervising the project, throw me to a place where I don't want to shit, let me suffer, no matter what, he has to look at my father's face , not too much."

"It's you." Feng Chen looked me up and down: "He didn't do anything excessive to you after he took you away, right?"

I froze for a moment and shook my head.

Feng Chen had a look of disbelief: "Then why did you fall into the sea? Don't tell me that it was because you were careless while swimming."

"How do you know I fell into the sea?"

"Of course I know." Feng Chen's face was hot as it should be: "Otherwise, how would you think you were rescued?"

I looked at him and felt a little puzzled. Xu Tangyi didn't bother to say this when he was thinking about it. Now that I think about it, it's impossible for Xu Tangyi to find me suddenly.

"I didn't take you to the EM Group last time. When I saw Xu Tangyi, I felt something was wrong at that time. How could there be someone who looks exactly the same? I obviously wanted to go forward and call Xu Tangyi, but you must hold me. If he had been stopped at that time, there would have been no such things in the future.”

I smiled a little embarrassedly, and listened to Feng Chen continue talking.

"Later, I was taken away by Feng Jue. It took me more than half a month to find a chance to escape. As soon as I came out, I tried to contact Xu Tangyi."

As he spoke, he curled his lips in disdain: "You don't know, it takes a lot of effort to contact Mr. Xu."

"After I saw him, I asked him if he had a brother or something, who looked the same as him, and he immediately became anxious when he heard that, and asked me to tell him where you were."

"After that, we went to City A to look for Feng Jue, and we got the news that he sent a person to the hospital. He made a lot of noise. I probably guessed that it was you, so I sent Xu Tangyi directly to the hospital. "

Feng Chen suddenly said excitedly: "You didn't see it at the time. When Xu Tangyi and Feng Jue were confronting each other, I think if it wasn't because you were in the hospital and you were being rescued, the two of you should have fought."

There was some regret in his tone: "I don't know what they said later, but after your physical condition stabilized, Feng Jue left, and then you were dragged to City B."

After I listened to Feng Chen's words, I didn't make a sound for a while, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

"I'm thirsty after talking about it, I'll peel an apple and eat it." Feng Chen picked up the apple and fruit knife from the table, and hooked the trash can beside him with his feet.

"Hey! Xu Tangnian, are you free to cut apples for fun?"

"Huh?" I didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

"Why is your trash can full of rotten apples?" Feng Chen gestured a few times with his hands: "The real version of cutting fruit, phew!"

I bent down to look at the trash can, and suddenly remembered the square apple that Xu Tangyi handed me, which made me a little funny.

"No." I denied.

Feng Chen just said it casually, he sighed while peeling an apple: "You don't know, how surprised I was when I knew you were Xu Tangyi's twin brother, a person like him actually has a younger brother."

"Besides, you two have very different tempers. You have the same face. Why is his personality so bad? You are fine."

Feng Chen quickly finished peeling the apple, he took a bite, and said vaguely: "But Xu Tangnian, is it not good for me to say that your brother has a bad personality in front of you?"

As he said this, there was no sign of embarrassment on his face.

"No, and—"

My mother was incognito at first.

Xu Tangyi was young at the time and was unable to find his mother and younger brother. When he grew up, he wanted to. The names of his mother and younger brother had been changed, and now Anian took his mother's surname.
