clear moonlight

Shen Mingxi is the best child in the Shen family, and Shen Zitong is the most beautiful one.

Prominent family background, half-brothers, but they are matched with such indescribable prerequisites.

Almost everyone will inevitably think of a script in which brothers fight each other and turn against each other.But the Shen family was quite lucky not to encounter such a bloody drama, and the price was that Shen Mingxi would no longer be able to live a normal life.

When Lu Ci went to visit him this time, Shen Mingxi's lungs had already turned into an old sealed box. He had shaved off his thick black hair before, his cheekbones were prominent, and he was so thin that he looked like a man who could only breathe. skeleton.

He held Lu Ci with his thin and pale hands, as if he wanted to interlock his fingers but didn't dare to make too much movement, just repeated softly over and over again: "Xiao Lu, don't worry about these in the future, if you are busy Don't come to see me all the time."

Then there was another silence that would drown you.

Lu Ci was afraid that his emotional over-excitement would cause unacceptable consequences, so he could only pretend that the other party's voice was too low for him to hear, and emphasized to him with the wrong lips: "I know, brother , I will take good care of Tongtong, no one dares to bully him."

Shen Zitong could only stand aside blankly, without his usual playful smile, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, acting as a cheap repeater next to Lu Ci.

"Next time, don't come here with me. Seeing how you wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry just now, you have to wait for half a day to get better." Lu Ci took out two cans of coffee from the vending machine and put them in his hand After exploring, he picked out the slightly warmer can and threw it to Shen Zitong.

Shen Zitong was in a daze, pulling the tab away entirely by conditioned reflex, and retorted: "How could I ignore him."

"No one gossips about you." Lu Ci took out a tissue and carefully held up Shen Zitong's vacant hand to wipe the area that had just been cut, but the words he said were far less than the movements of his hand So gentle, "Your family is not all listening to your mother now? The one who pays is the uncle. According to the current relationship between the two of you, if you are willing to raise him with the current conditions, you will treat him well."

"Lu Ci!" Shen Zitong was really angry, he withdrew his hand abruptly, and called the person in front of him by first and last name.He wanted to say that if others don't believe me, don't you believe me too, but after meeting Lu Ci's gaze, he swallowed back his grievance and resentment.

Because Lu Ci was crying.

Tears fell silently, and the deliberately suppressed voice was slightly distorted in the empty corridor.Lu Ci felt that he hadn't cried like this for a long time. The meaning of tears was not about catharsis or compromise, but a deep helplessness with known consequences and had to accept.

"Tongtong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they said he probably won't last this year, I don't know what to do."

The lights in the corridor were bright, and the sunlight outside was warm, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless ward.Shen Zitong took Lu Ci into his arms, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the man's eyes, and plunged himself into great sadness in an instant.

None of them can be judges, let alone appeal.

……

Lu Ci really couldn't remember how a visit turned into the current scene.When he woke up, Chen Qianxia was leaning against the bed, with a tablet on his lap.

"Are you awake?" He turned slightly to Lu Ci's side, and asked softly and carefully in his ear, "Are you hungry, can I give you something to eat?"

Before Lu Ci could reply, Chen Qianxia jumped out of bed, apparently planning to go directly to the kitchen to get some food.

Lu Ci got up, and looked around with a tired face.The bedroom is not too big, but it is very simple and comfortable.Especially the big bed he is occupying now, the cushions are soft and comfortable, and the quilt also has a faint scent of lemon.

Lu Ci didn't ask how Chen Qianxia picked him up from the outside, and he didn't bother to determine what happened during the period when he was basically unconscious.However, he was indeed a bit fragmented now, but he didn't feel dizzy and weak after a hangover. Instead, he was lazy all over his body, as if he had experienced a long and fulfilling dream.

He got up from the bed and found that he was wearing a pajamas that were just the right size.The clock has reached more than four o'clock in the morning, and it is basically difficult for Lu Ci to feel sleepy again when he wakes up at this time.I just don't know where Chen Qianxia's energy comes from. When Lu Ci met him just now, that person seemed to be still busy with his computer while working on it.

"You're awake." Chen Qianxia placed the white tray firmly on the side of the dining table near Lu Ci, and pulled a chair to sit next to him, "Is it okay to eat these?"

Lu Ci lowered his head and took a cursory glance. On the plate was a small cup of hot milk and two slices of crispy toast. It looked like it was probably copied by a toaster, and there were streaks of burnt yellow lines on the bread.Without hesitation, he gently cut a small piece and put it in his mouth. As expected, he tasted the most normal texture and taste that bread should have. The milk unexpectedly added some honey, which was very sweet.

"Sorry." Chen Qianxia sat on the side with her head lowered, looking at Lu Ci cautiously, as if she dared not speak out but couldn't help but want to speak, "I will try my best to treat you well in the future, give me another one." Chance."

Lu Ci almost choked on the toast, and managed to recover after drinking half a glass of milk.He raised his head and glanced at Chen Qianxia, ​​he was embarrassed to tell the other party that this simple sentence almost caused a midnight accident.

Curious and helpless, he said, "Why are you sorry for me?"

Chen Qianxia apologized in a serious manner, and her tone was very serious, she said to Lu Ci one by one for self-reflection: "It's my fault, I didn't care about you before, when you come to me, I always think about work first and then think about it." You, I will correct this in the future."

Lu Ci put down the things in his hands, and he couldn't drink the sweet milk. In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so, after all, work was much more important than relationships.It's just that he really can't say it now, so he sighed and continued to ask: "And then?"

"Then I think we can make a more detailed plan. For example, I will spend one or two days a week with you, and you can come to my house to spend the night every three days." Chen Qianxia continued.

Lu Ci couldn't listen anymore: "You make me look like a moneyboy."

"..." Chen Qianxia quickly took back the previous sentence, "I don't mean that, I mean, we can spend more time getting to know each other."

He lowered his head, and his voice sounded aggrieved: "Like that boy in black, your relationship is very close."

Lu Ci tilted his head and thought for a while before realizing that Chen Qianxia was talking about Shen Zitong.It is obvious that the two of them have a good relationship. After a long time, those who know the inside story will basically not make any jokes. Chen Qianxia seems to be the first person to point out that "he and Shen Zitong are very close" in a long time.

There was still a bit of sourness in the voice, it sounded like he was jealous.

Lu Ci frowned, pushed the messy trifles out of his mind, and named the subject concisely: "I feel that the current situation is good, and there is no need to make any changes."

He collected his thoughts, met Chen Qianxia's gaze, and said in a cold voice that was almost cruel: "Although I don't know where your problem of being serious in front of outsiders and then acting like a baby at night comes from, but I can accommodate you to a certain extent. You, if you feel like your physical needs are not being met, then we can meet up a few times a week."

"But that's all there is to it."
