regardless of

It was evening when Xi Shangyu arrived home.

Xi and Yang went to cook, and he sat by the window sill of the room, flipping through the books.

It stands to reason that he should be comfortable and relaxed now. He just needs to sit at home and wait for Zhao Baizhi to "get his wish", and then go to his brother with a "good news" and tell his brother with a gesture of asking for credit: Brother, you must not You know, your boyfriend Gu Chou is actually such a person.

But inexplicably, he was a little absent-minded.

He thought, maybe it was because his approach was not so correct.

But so what?

His intentions are good.

His brother will definitely understand himself.

However, this self-comfort soon became ineffective.

Not long after, he received a call from his brother.

For the first time, he received the anger from his brother so clearly.

During the years when the two grew up together, what Xi Shangyu felt the most about his brother was indifference.

Xi You is always indifferent and indifferent to everything, at most, with a touch of sarcasm.

For a person who doesn't have many emotions, if the emotions become a little bit heavier, it will be very obvious.

Not to mention, his brother's emotions on the phone didn't just get a little heavier.

Xi Shangyu was really frightened.

After hanging up the phone for a long time, he was still immersed in his brother's sentence "I promise, I won't tell you any affection", so that for a long time after that, he was surrounded by a kind of dazed anxiety.

He began to wonder if he had really done something wrong.

He thought that this uneasy mood would accompany him for a long time, but he didn't expect that his brother's "execution" would come so quickly.

After dinner, Yang Zhaoyuan and Xi Cailin went down for a stroll to digest food, and after they came back, they sat in the living room watching TV.

When the sound of the door lock being turned was heard, they were in unison in surprise, and then saw Xi You who opened the door and entered.

Both were stunned.

But before they had time to say anything, they saw that Xi You hadn't changed his shoes, and he was striding towards Xi Shangyu's room with a stern expression.

Before bedtime, Xi Shangyu's room door is usually not locked.

Xi You twisted the doorknob, pushed it, and the door hit the wall with a bang.

Xi You walked in without saying a word.

For that posture, it is not appropriate to say "walk in", but "break in" is much more appropriate.

Yang Zhaoyuan got up and followed, and at the same time scoffed angrily: "You still know--"

In the middle of her sentence, she was so startled that she stopped on the spot, only to see Xi You kick heavily on the armchair Xi Shangyu was sitting on.

Xi Shangyu didn't even have time to react, and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

The chair slid out with a clatter.

"What are you doing!" Yang Zhaoyuan screamed.

Xi Cailin was startled and rushed over.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, trainee You picked up the solid wood armchair with one hand.

The next second—

The chair smashed hard at Xi Shangyu's head.

With a "bang", the chair fell apart and scattered wood flew across.

When Xi Shangyu was in a state of panic, he let out a cry of pain, and blood gushed down his forehead.

But it wasn't over yet, Xi You glanced away, and his eyes stopped on the floor lamp standing beside the desk.

With one step, he reached the desk lamp, grabbed the desk lamp with his hands, and turned around to greet Xi Shangyu again.

The momentum has already risen, but the hand froze in mid-air.

Xi Cailin stood in front of Xi Shangyu, completely covering Xi Shangyu.

Yang Zhaoyuan stood aside in a daze, covering her mouth in horror.The trainee stopped her movements before she murmured, "Crazy! You are crazy!"

As she spoke, she rushed towards Xi You, pinched, wrung, scratched and beat Xi You, and shouted sharply: "You hit my son! I let you hit my son! You are a lunatic, a lunatic! Back then You should not have been allowed to come into this world, you should have been hanged in the womb! A wolf-hearted bad thing, a bad thing! You should be thrown to the dogs when you are born!"

On Xi You's arms, neck, and face, there were red marks and blood grooves drawn by the woman's long nails. He didn't blink, the jawbone on the side of his face was tense, silent and cold, as if he couldn't feel it at all. pain.

The entire space was filled with Yang Zhaoyuan's vicious scolding.

Later, the sound of Xi Cailin treating Xi Shangyu's wound was added.

Xi Shangyu was probably stunned, his body was trembling slightly all the time, every time he raised his head to look at Xi You, his eyes were full of disbelief and panic that couldn't be concealed.

Yang Zhaoyuan's words were harsh, and she continued to sting, until Xi Cailin said sadly, "Enough is enough, don't talk anymore", and she reluctantly shut up.

Yang Zhaoyuan's emotions were completely overwhelmed, and it was difficult to dispel it for a while.Xi Cailin had no choice but to pretend to be the rational one present. He frowned and asked Xi You: "Xiao You, can I ask, what did your brother do to make you rush in without saying a word to him?" With such a ruthless hand?"

As soon as he finished asking, Xi You, who had been silent for a long time, raised his eyes slightly.

Those eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of extremely cold mist, and when Xi Cailin met him, he couldn't help being startled.

Xi You didn't answer the question.

He glanced at Yang Zhaoyuan, and then opened his mouth, but what he said was irrelevant: "I came here today, mainly to help you educate your son."

As soon as he uttered these words, Yang Zhaoyuan's eyes went straight for an instant, she opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Xi Cailin pulled her arm off, she bared her teeth for a moment, and finally swallowed the words.

Xi You didn't care about their expressions and emotions, and continued on his own: "But since we're here, we have something to say, let's talk about it together this time."

"Let's talk about an objective fact first." He paused for a while and raised his eyelids. "It was your last resort and my misfortune that I was born. I said this is a consensus between us. Do you have any objections?"

Yang Zhaoyuan didn't speak, Xi Cailin hesitated to speak, only Xi Shangyu shook his head.

Xi You continued: "Since we are each other's abyss and disaster, I don't think we need to embarrass each other anymore."

When he said this, seeing Yang Zhaoyuan and Xi Cailin's expressions moved, both of them wanted to speak, so he stopped him and said, "Listen to me first."

"..."

Xi You's eyes fell on the two people whom he had called parents for 17 years, and he said calmly: "In the past, I called you parents because of the love you gave birth to. I never felt that I owed you anything. No, there won’t be any in the future. Don’t give me pua the saying that “birth is original sin”. You can still bluff if you push it forward seven or eight years. Now that I’m almost an adult, it doesn’t make sense for someone to arrive every day. Wan presses my head to pay for her mistake, and I will accept it as it is."

Who this "she" refers to is self-evident.

Yang Zhaoyuan's expression turned blue and red for a moment.

"It doesn't matter if you were treated differently in the past, or you were insulted by bad words. After so many years of training, I have been invulnerable to swords and guns." Xi You said, and glanced at Xi Shangyu, "However, your son is born out of blue. stabbed at the softest part of my body."

Xi Shangyu raised his head suddenly, his lips moved, trying to say something.

Probably because I don't know what I have unintentionally contributed to, so I want to ask about the situation.

Xi You could see what he wanted to ask, but didn't intend to answer him.

"It's too accurate." Xi You pursed his white lips, and there was a trace of astringency in his calm tone, "Take the little affection I only think about for you and this family, and stab it." There is nothing left. Even if I want to return you seventeen or eight dollars, I don't think it's too much. "

Hearing these words made people feel creepy, Xi Cailin opened his mouth to speak, but Xi Shangyu spit out a word before him: "Brother..."

"Don't call me brother, I can't bear it."

Xi Shangyu flinched, but finally couldn't hold back: "He..."

As a result, he stayed for a long time, but nothing came out of him.

Xi You echoed his words this time: "Gu Chou?"

Xi Shangyu nodded awkwardly.

Xi You deliberately said it to make him suffer: "He is in the emergency room now."

After hearing the words, Xi Shangyu's body froze as expected.

Xi You looked at him and said coldly, "Xi Shangyu, do you know?"

He spoke slowly on purpose.

"If Gu Chou died today, you would be the murderer."

"..."

Xi Shangyu obviously sat firmly on the floor, but when Xi You's words fell, he still staggered and shrank back a bit.

Although they didn't know what they were talking about, it didn't prevent Yang Zhaoyuan and Xi Cailin from being horrified when they heard some of the words.

They looked at Xi You in shock, and heard Xi You say to Xi Shangyu: "I still say the same thing, you'd better pray that Gu Chou is okay, and that he is alive safely. Otherwise, you have your parents to protect you today, and next time you will Not necessarily."

These words carried an imminent threat. Reminiscent of Xi You's madness when he rushed in the door, Yang Zhaoyuan couldn't help being a little frightened. She glared at Xi You angrily: "What can you do, are you really going to kill someone?"

Xi You twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't smile: "Didn't you say I'm a lunatic? A lunatic can do anything."

"..."

Seeing this, Xi Cailin wanted to stand up and be a peacemaker: "Xiaoyou, let's calm down, what's the matter..."

But before he finished speaking, Xi You shook his head: "There is no way to calm down. I've said so much, haven't you heard it yet?"

There was a moment of silence.

Xi You said: "You and I were originally incompatible. I think everything is in place today. There are events and atmosphere. It is suitable to sever the relationship. What do you think?"

"..."

The audience was no longer as simple as being silent. Among the four, it seemed that three of them stopped breathing on the spot.

Yang Zhaoyuan's eyes widened, pointed at Xi You, and opened her mouth like a "white-eyed wolf".

Xi Cailin: "Xiaoyou, aren't you joking with Dad?"

Xi You replied to him directly: "You are not my father, are you?"

Xi Cailin was dumbfounded.

Xi Shangyu's lips trembled, and he subconsciously called "Brother", forgetting even the pain of bleeding from his head.

Xi You raised his eyes: "Oh, I forgot. One doesn't need to sign or sign the relationship, and the other doesn't need to tell the world. I don't think I need to ask your opinions. It's good. Then I will unilaterally Announce it."

His words were ridiculed, which had the effect of making people speechless.

Even the unforgiving Yang Zhaoyuan's language system went down for a moment.

The three looked at him blankly.

Xi You looked around the room, and saw a paper cutter in the gap between the bookshelves.He walked straight over, flicked his finger, and the blade appeared.

The three of them were startled. As soon as Xi Cailin yelled, "What are you going to do", Xi You raised his knife and cut his forearm without blinking his eyes.

The hole was extremely deep, and immediately blood gushed out and dripped down, forming a puddle of blood on the floor.

Xi You glanced at the knife edge and said, "In order to show my solemnity, there is still a sense of ceremony."

His eyes fell on the three people in front of him, and he continued: "It is said that the body, hair and skin are the parents. If I cut myself, it will be regarded as breaking this blood connection."

Yang Zhaoyuan, who had a lot of "crazy words" in her throat, couldn't say a word for a while.

Although she has been biased for more than ten years, and often said that Xi You should not be said, she never thought that a son who was raised to adulthood would be able to do such a thing.

Xi Cailin's mood was also very complicated. Although Xi You was not his own, and he did not pour the so-called paternal love on Xi You, but after so many years, he has not been vicious to each other, and second, he has fulfilled the responsibility of raising him. The above is benevolence and righteousness.However, the current result...compared with the 17-year process that has not been treated harshly, it really does not match.

They didn't know what was the trigger of this situation, but they just thought incomprehensibly: Why did this happen?

And Xi Shangyu, who knew little about fuses, also found it difficult to understand.

He shed two lines of tears, wiped his tears and asked his brother: "Brother, what if Gu Qiu is all right? Are you going to break with us if he's all right? Aren't you being too arbitrary?"

"Don't be like this. We are always a family. If you are angry with me, you can beat me and scold me. I will never fight back, but don't leave us."

"It was my fault. I shouldn't trust others. I shouldn't be jealous. It's all my fault."

……

He wiped more and more tears, but his brother's indifference did not decrease at all.

Xi You buckled the knife body back into the knife slot, and inserted his backhand into the gap in the bookshelf behind him.

The slightly hooked back straightened, and just as Xi You was about to leave, Xi Shangyu suddenly knelt forward in two or three steps, hugged his calf, and eagerly called "Brother" twice.

Xi You frowned, didn't say a single extra word, and started counting down: "Three."

As soon as the word "two" was uttered, Yang Zhaoyuan and Xi Cailin stepped forward together, took away Xi Shangyu's hand holding his leg, and pulled him back at the same time.

Xi You picked up his steps and walked out. Xi Shangyu wailed behind him, but he never looked back.

After coming out, Xi You didn't take a taxi. The road to the hospital was very long, so he just walked with his head bowed.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers. He walked in the dark in such a black suit. He also had a sluggish and dejected demeanor. On his exposed arms and neck, there were countless fine scratches. Take a look, lest you can't avoid it.

Passers-by avoided him like a murderer, but they didn't know that the "murderer" himself really thought he was a "murderer".

Along the way, Xi You was thinking——

In that room just now, he said to Xi Shangyu, "If Gu Chou died today, you would be the murderer."But in fact, when this sentence was placed on him, he seemed unable to refute it.

Gu Chou will be in danger, and Xi Shangyu is an accomplice.

As a peripheral person, Xi Shangyu will be used, and he has a lot to do with himself.

That is to say, Gu Chou's encounter with all of this was indirectly caused by him.

Li Pei was right, it was because he didn't take good care of Gu Chou, it was because he didn't make a good boyfriend.

And he doesn't even know what to do and what to do now.

Just walking for an unknown length of time, the wind of Xia Ye slowly blew on his body, but it didn't blow away a trace of fear, anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

Xi You finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stopped, and slammed his fist hard on the tree beside him.

The trunk of the tree was thick and strong, and the bark was mottled and thorny. When he punched it, countless wounds were pierced on the back of his hand, with uneven blood spots.

When the bell rang, he froze for a moment.

Then the heartbeat became fast.

It's Li Pei calling.

He grabbed the phone and took a while to pick it up.

Li Pei's voice came quickly: "Where are you?"

Xi You looked around and judged based on the memory in his brain. This place is very close to the hospital, so he said, "It's just outside."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards the hospital.

Li Pei said, "Gu Chou woke up, let me tell you."

It seemed that the near-dead man whose mouth and nose were covered by a wet cloth was finally removed from the deadly weapon, and was able to breathe normally. Xi You let out a deep breath, and then said "um" in a low voice.

"Come here first," Li Pei said.

These words have obvious implication, Xi You can tell that he should have something to say to himself.

When he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he found Li Pei standing outside, apparently waiting for him.

Xi You walked over.

Li Pei saw the dense scars on his arm, especially the deep cut with black blood, and asked loudly, "Why did you go?"

Xi You didn't answer, but only asked, "Don't you have something to say?"

Li Pei still wanted to ask again, but Xi You went straight away: "Let's talk about things."

"Okay." Li Pei didn't care, took two steps, sat down on the next step with less traffic, and raised his hand to greet Xi You, "Sit."

Xi You glanced in the direction where his hand was swaying, and walked straight into the hospital while looking away.

He took two steps, and Li Pei stopped him from behind: "Don't go in, I was called out to be a microphone."

"..."

Xi You paused and continued to go in.

Li Pei cursed, "Fuck you!", quickly got up and followed, and grabbed Xi You's arm: "I told you the fuck don't go in there!"

With a wave of his arm, Xi You shook off Li Pei's hand: "Get lost!"

Li Pei continued to follow up again, this time not only being rough, he raised his hand to strangle Xi You's neck from behind, pulled him over with all his strength, and knocked him down on the spot.

Xi You fell to the ground, but quickly turned from passive to active.

Usually the relationship is good and good, but when they really scuffle together, no one will be soft.

Xi You didn't have the upper hand for a long time, he was injured, Li Pei licked his wound, Xi You immediately fell behind.

After a while, the faces of the two of them could no longer be seen. They were bruised and purple, and swollen with their own characteristics.

Fortunately, their position was blocked by a stone pillar, otherwise they would definitely be seen as monkeys or arrested by security guards for education.

There was another round of silent fistfights, and during a ruthless gap between punches, Xi said two words in a sad voice: "Reason."

He wanted a reason, a reason why he couldn't go in.

Li Pei grinned his swollen mouth, and hissed, "What the hell are you thinking? I said I'm here to deliver a message."

"Who is it to tell?"

Li Pei knew that Xi You was very clear, but he still had to listen to someone tell the truth before he believed it.

People are so funny.

"Gu Chou." Li Pei couldn't help it, "I'll pass on Gu Chou's words, okay?"

"He won't let me see him..." As if all Xi You's strength had been exhausted by this fight, he turned over and sat up, panting heavily with his head down, his voice was so hoarse that he almost lost his voice, "Why?"

"He didn't give me a reason, he just asked me to pass on a message." Li Pei clasped his hands together and put his forehead between them, "He is very weak now, and it is really not suitable for seeing people."

Xi You nodded, and didn't speak any more, but her breathing was extremely heavy, as if every time she took a breath, she had to exert all her strength.

The two were silent and sat on the steps for a long time.

After a while, Li Pei raised his hand and wiped his face heavily, and said, "But I think, I can give you a reason."

Xi You looked over at him, and saw Li Pei suck his nose, and then said: "There is a lock at the entrance of the alley, so Lao Xue and I went in quickly. When we went in, Gu Chou was still a little conscious , but he may be in too much pain, and his body can no longer move."

Li Pei paused, and bit his lower lip fiercely, as if this would prevent him from being speechless.

"We...we saw," Li Pei's throat choked, and his voice barely steadied, "Zhao Baizhi was right in front of Gu Chou, slowly, one by one, burning the paper towels on which he wiped his semen."

"Not only that, but we also saw a bundle of binding ropes thrown at Gu Chou's feet. And Gu Chou's body showed traces of being bound by ropes."

"Lao Xue and I didn't call the ambulance, it was Zhao Baizhi who called the ambulance at the right time."

"Except for Gu Chou himself, none of us know what he went through during the time when his heart was so painful that he couldn't resist."

……

After Li Pei finished speaking, he rubbed his face again before he dared to look up at Xi You.

Then he saw the young man's jaw line tightened in the night, his eyes were terribly red.

Li Pei tilted his head, and the tip of his tongue hooked a line in his mouth, with mixed feelings in his heart, he said, "That's the reason, if I were Gu Chou, I wouldn't want to see you for the time being."

"I didn't intend to tell you. Whether I want to tell you or not depends on Gu Qiu's will. But if I don't tell you, you should know soon."

"You know the character of Gu Chou. He can't pretend that nothing happened. The word 'forbearance' doesn't exist in his dictionary." Li Pei said, "I heard Gu Chou tell Aunt Gu that he wanted to sue Zhao Baizhi. Report him to jail."
