Qiushui Village.

Zhou's small bungalow.

It was past ten o'clock when the two came back, and Juan'er had to rush to cook when she came back, so that the youngest brother would not have anything to eat when he came home from school at noon.

Xie Xingzhi is not used to the feeling of being a drag on others: "I have nothing to do if I stay in the room, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Juan'er smiled and waved her hands: "You're hurt so badly, there's nothing you can do to help me, go back to the house and have a good rest, get well soon."

Xie Xingzhi glanced at the firewood she was about to chop.

It doesn't seem like he can help.

"Okay." He said helplessly, "If you have anything to do, call me at any time. Although my leg is injured, I won't be completely useless."

"Okay, do you have time to help your brother with homework in the evening?" Juan'er smiled, thinking that people in big cities must have a lot of brains.

Xie Xingzhi of course responded: "Yes, he can ask me anything he doesn't know."

In the evening, Zhou Jintao had to work overtime, so he asked someone to bring a message saying that he would be back later and that he would not have to wait for dinner.

Juan'er sent her younger brother to Xie Xingzhi's small guest room: "Here, let this elder brother teach you your homework, my sister is going to do the laundry, don't be naughty, be good."

The little boy hugged the book, nodded to Juan'er, and when he turned around and looked at Xie Xingzhi, he didn't know if it was an illusion, the latter always felt that there was timidity in his eyes.

"Come here, what's the problem?" Xie Xingzhi waved at him and said with a smile.

"Yes, there are a lot of questions..." Speaking of studying, the young boy pursed his lips, as if he was ashamed to speak.

Xie Xingzhi guessed that the educational resources in the small town were not as good as those in the city, and maybe his academic performance was the one thing that bothered him.

However, he has always been patient with children, and he smiled when he heard this: "I will tell you as many as you have, don't be afraid, I will tell you until you know it."

The boy didn't quite believe it at first, but when Xie Xingzhi finished explaining the two questions to him, his attitude changed completely.

"Brother Xie Xingzhi, it would be great if you were my brother." Waiting for Xie Xingzhi to drink water to moisten his throat, the young boy suddenly whispered.

Xie Xingzhi put down the water glass, and scratched the tip of the child's nose itchyly: "Isn't it enough to have Zhou Jintao as a brother? Little Greedy."

Knowing that he has a gentle temper, the young boy is not afraid at all, he smiled and said: "Brother Taozi is too fierce, if he told me the topic just now, I didn't understand it after explaining it like this four times, he must have already given me the answer." The broom hit me!"

Zhou Jintao did seem to be a hot-tempered person. Xie Xingzhi thought about the scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Really! Don't believe it." The young boy saw him smile, and became anxious, "Sister Juan'er can't understand my question, and the grandpa who plays chess next door has bad eyesight and can't teach me at night, so I just I can only ask Brother Taozi, everyone in the village knows that I have to be chased by him with a broom every night, running from street to street.”

"Then you hide behind Sister Juan'er, and he will definitely not chase you." Xie Xingzhi rolled his eyes.

Brother and sister were not present, and the young boy complained with righteous indignation: "No way, Sister Juan'er will only laugh at me next to me, and let Brother Taozi spank hard and spank my ass."

Xie Xingzhi: "Then does he really hit you every time?"

The young boy paused and shook his head: "That's not true. If he really hits me, I will definitely never get along with him again."

Xie Xingzhi was overjoyed, he touched his head, the kid's fluffy hair felt really nice to his hands: "You are so cute, he definitely can't bear to hit you, just to scare you."

The young boy obviously knew in his heart that it was very comfortable to be touched by him along his hair, and he couldn't help raising his head: "Brother Xie Xingzhi, when your injury heals, are you going to leave?"

"Correct."

"Or you can stay at our house and don't go, okay?"

Xie Xingyi was taken aback, and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?"

The young man looked at him eagerly: "Because I like you so much, and sister Juan'er also likes you."

He was afraid that Xie Xingzhi would disagree, so he jumped off the chair and hugged his arm and shook it from side to side: "How about it, Sister Juan'er cooks delicious food, please stay with us, so I will have two older brothers."

The child raised his head, his black eyes were dark and innocent.

Xie Xingzhi's heart softened, but he still smiled and said softly: "I'm afraid it won't work."

The little boy: "Ah...why?"

Xie Xingzhi: "I also have a younger brother in my family. He will be anxious when he knows something happened to me. I have to go back and find him."

"Alright then." The young boy lowered his head, "It's wrong to steal someone else's brother, I know that, I'm not a bad kid."

"He's much older than you, so he won't bother you about these things." Xie Xingzhi propped his chin, and when he mentioned Xie Anheng, his eyebrows were much gentler, "If there is a chance to meet, you have to call him brother."

The boy couldn't help being curious: "Is he as handsome as you?"

Xie Xingzhi was suddenly praised, but Xie Xingzhi hadn't reacted yet.

But when it comes to appearance, his appearance in his previous life was indeed impeccable, and his height and stature have improved a lot in this life, so it is naturally perfect in Xie Xingzhi's eyes.

He then nodded: "Handsome, he is taller than me, probably a lot taller, and more handsome than me."

This borrowed shell couldn't be more pleasing to the eye than his own appearance.

"Wow." The little boy's eyes widened, "It's so tall."

With a stature of 1.8 meters, Zhou Jintao was already considered a tall man in the village, and since Xie Xingzhi came back, he couldn't see his height either lying down or sitting up. He had never seen a taller person.

The little boy: "Is he so tall since he was a child? I want to grow so tall too."

Xie Xingzhi laughed loudly: "Of course he wasn't so tall since he was a child. He was shorter than you when he was your age, thin and small, just like a little Douding, I can hug him with one hand."

The little boy stretched out his hand and gestured: "Then I will definitely be taller than him in the future!"

Xie Xingzhi: "If you exercise more, you can grow taller."

The little boy asked: "Then how did he exercise?"

"He..." Xie Xingzhi showed a look of reminiscence, "He has class at eight o'clock, I told him to go to bed before eleven o'clock in the evening, wake up at six o'clock in the morning, put his schoolbag in the car, and he ran to school behind the car, Run three laps on the playground after school, and learn fighting with me on weekends."

For five years, I have never slacked off. After high school, I even secretly got up at five o'clock for a while, just to make time for him to make breakfast for him in the morning.

Xie Xingzhi drooped his eyelashes, his gaze was somewhat complicated.

"I also have class at eight o'clock..." The little boy murmured in surprise.

But every morning he still loses his temper with his sister for staying in bed.

The school has a school bus that comes to the village to pick him up, and the bus arrives at 07:30. He can stay up until [-]:[-] every morning, let alone weekends, and let himself sleep until the sun rises.

This contrast was too strong, and the young boy's heart was greatly shocked.

"I want to be like him!"

Xie Xingzhi lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth: "You don't have to work so hard, I'm too strict with him. You can go to bed early and get up early to run in physical education class."

"No, I have to be strict with myself." The young boy was very determined this time.

Xie Xingzhi still wanted to say something, but the door was pushed open suddenly, and Juan'er looked flustered: "Brother Xie, it's not good, it seems that someone is asking the village about you again, I think they are coming soon."

Xie Xingzhi's complexion changed.

The hut he lived in was at the back of the bungalow. It looked like a storage room. It was very inconspicuous. It was only escaped during the last search.

But the people of the Shi family checked and called back again and again, so it was hard to guarantee that they had heard some rumors, so they might not be able to hide this time.

Juan'er obviously thought of this, she asked her younger brother to go back to her room, and said to Xie Xingzhi: "There is a small hill in the backyard of my house, and the forest is dense inside, so hiding someone in at night should not be discovered."

"Then go there and avoid it first." Xie Xingzhi said seriously.

Juan'er nodded immediately.

She pushed Xie Xingzhi, carefully hid him under a rocky slope, gathered some dead branches to cover it up, and finally kicked away the traces of the wheelchair on the ground before running back home in a hurry.

But when she opened the door, Juan'er found that the people who came this time were not the same group as last time, but a young woman with delicate makeup was the leader.

With the experience from last time, she calmly responded to the questioning, and when they left, Juan'er would immediately want to run back to the mountain to fetch Xie Xingzhi back.

But by coincidence, I saw the young woman leading the group of people up the mountain.

"Oops." Juan'er turned around anxiously.

On the back side of the mountain, Xie Xingzhi heard footsteps and subconsciously breathed lightly.

"I saw that rabbit running here just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

The girl's coquettish reproach came from the small slope above her head.

The voice was very familiar, Xie Xingzhi frowned as he recalled it.

It's Xu Sisi.

It turns out that people from the Xu family are also looking for him?

Someone nearby advised her: "Miss, the forest is dangerous at night, maybe there will be snakes later, let's go back."

Xu Sisi: "There's nothing to be afraid of snakes, it's really useless."

"..."

That's what she said, but she still seemed to be ready to leave, but after a few steps, she suddenly remembered the phone ringing.

Xu Sisi stood still and answered the phone: "Hello?"

Xie Xingzhi could only stand still.

"Dad... I have already found a small village next to Xiping Town. I am not lazy." Xu Sisi seemed to be coquettish with his father, "I did not find it. I have asked every family, and no one has seen him."

"Look further? Dad!" Xu Sisi stomped her feet vigorously, and a small piece of gravel slid down the dirt slope in front of Xie Xingzhi, "This is some kind of place where no one shits. If you look for me further down If you don’t want to follow, let the people below find it by themselves.”

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited. The woods were very quiet at night, and some words could be vaguely heard.

"Xie Anheng... for you..."

Xu Sisi: "He treats me well? You didn't even see the way he looked at me at the banquet that day. I felt that he wanted to strangle me to death! He pinched my wrist and almost broke my bones. ...and even smashed that goblet directly, it was frightening to death!"

"Our family... is married..."

"I know, I know, of course I know that this is good for our family, but besides the family, do you have nothing else to care about? Isn't my happiness not important?" Xu Sisi's voice gradually became sharper.

Xu Sisi: "Marriage... It's easy to say, our family is not the only one who has this kind of thought, isn't there a small number of people who put people around him? Men and women... But do you think he has given good looks to anyone?"

The other end of the phone still persuaded her fiercely.

Xu Sisi didn't speak for a long time, and after about ten minutes, she suddenly spoke, her voice became indifferent and deep.

"There's one thing I never told you."

"He was drunk on his birthday party. I followed him to my residence in the southern suburbs. You all think he did something to me... Heh."

"But nothing actually happened. I didn't even go in the door of his room."

"Why? Because I was kicked out! In front of all the servants, he threw me at the door like a piece of trash!" Xu Sisi sneered.

"Why am I hiding it from you... Do I have a choice? If I don't do what you say, won't I end up like my sister?"

Xie Xingzhi frowned.

Over the phone: "A few days ago...Xie's company."

Xu Sisi was too excited and spoke faster: "You still have the nerve to ask me, since you insist on asking, then I'll tell you!"

"I went to his company, and I also entered the top floor. The door of his office was unlocked, but do you know what I saw?"

Xu Sisi gritted her teeth: "I saw him put his forehead on a photo...it was the photo of Xie Xingzhi, he, he leaned over... leaned over and kissed!"

"The way he looked at that photo... that kind of eyes... I can't be mistaken." Xu Sisi's voice trembled, as if he couldn't speak.

Xie Xingzhi was a little stunned.

What is she saying?

Why he can understand every word, but it seems a bit difficult to understand when put together.

Xu Sisi's shrill voice reached Xie Xingzhi's ears again, completely breaking the last trace of luck in his heart.

"I said I couldn't be wrong! Even if I was wrong once, he kissed that full body photo from head to toe, so many times, did I get it wrong every time?!"

"Anyway, he's a lunatic! He rejects everyone, he doesn't like boys or girls, what's wrong with his body..."

"He has abnormal feelings for that Xie Xingzhi!"

Xie Xingzhi's eyes widened.

The arrival of the Xu family's group made a commotion in the village again, but fortunately, the people brought by Xu Sisi were quite polite and did not smash everywhere like the Shi family did.

Near ten o'clock at night, the small fishing village finally returned to silence.

Zhou's backyard.

Juan'er has been standing by the side, observing carefully, making sure that the young woman in the lead and his subordinates have all left, and then lightly went to pick up Xie Xingzhi with a small flashlight.

But apart from Xie Xingzhi helping her lift himself up from the small stone pit at the beginning, Xie Xingzhi looked like he was wandering all the way home.

"Brother Xie, Brother Xie?" Juan'er called him a few times but no one answered, she gently pushed Xie Xingzhi's shoulder.

Xie Xingzhi snapped back to his senses: "Ah... what did you just say?"

Juan'er blinked at him: "Brother Xie, what are you thinking... so engrossed."

"No, nothing, just a little tired." Xie Xingzhi suddenly felt guilty.

"That's right, I'll push you back to the room to rest." Juan'er didn't say anything just now, she just wanted to tell him that the group had already left, so he didn't have to worry about it tonight.

Xie Xingzhi nodded in response, the two of them were just about to go around the front yard and go back to the back room, when the yard door opened without warning.

"Ah!" Juan'er quickly stood in front of Xie Xingzhi.

Xie Xingzhi's heart tightened.

But then, a familiar and no longer familiar loud voice with a crying voice——

"Brother Xing!!! Is it really you?!"

Xie Xingzhi opened his mouth slightly: "Xiangyang?"
