"Brother, don't do this." Xia Tian jumped up and hugged Xia Xi from behind, "Please stop."

"I have killed my eldest brother and our family. Do I have the nerve to go back? My parents must hate me." Xia Xi said almost desperately.

"I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. The final conclusion given by the forensic doctor was sudden death, which has nothing to do with anyone. The eldest brother was under great mental pressure before the college entrance examination. Maybe he didn't want to disappoint his mother, so he studied hard, Dad

During those days when we were waiting for scores, my eldest brother stayed up all night long..." Xia Tian was crying while pulling Xia Xi back, not knowing how much of her words Xia Xi actually listened to.

"I think my mother should hate herself even more, so she sits and closes herself all day long. My father...he has disappeared without a trace long ago and has never been seen again after the divorce. I think, if you

Go home, maybe mom will feel better..."

The small living room was once again shrouded in silence. Xia Tian could hear the sound of car doors opening and closing downstairs, the honking of cars in the distance, and even Xia Xi's strong heartbeat.

Xia Xi stood there like an unwinded doll, tears welling up silently. He didn't even have the strength to cry. After a while, he raised his head slightly and looked at the box on the refrigerator.

There were several glass jars, with pills occupying more than half of them, as if to remind him that it was time to take medicine.

A mother has lost one son and may soon lose her second son. Instead of doing this, it is better to follow what she thinks in her heart. The second son may be living well somewhere, but she just doesn't want to go home.

Should this be done? This must be the best result.

"So, they have divorced a long time ago?" Xia Xi's voice seemed to be rusty, hoarse and dry.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Xia Tian slowly let go of him, went to the bathroom to blow his nose, and washed his face with cold water. After coming out, he said: "We divorced a long time ago. We sold our house and paid the compensation to Lai for the student banquet."

Our family moved to an old house in the suburbs for a guest, and he left after staying there for less than 10 days."

"What happened after that? You said mom closed herself off, but it was you who was always there at home and outside the house..." Xia Xi couldn't continue asking, her chest felt like it was hit by a meteorite falling from a height of 10,000 meters, and her internal organs seemed to be crushed.

It was broken into pieces and turned into a ball in the abdominal cavity...

He rushed to the bathroom, closed the door behind him, opened the toilet lid, knelt down and retched, except for a few mouthfuls of sour water, nothing else came out.

"Brother...I'm sorry...Mom...I'm sorry...Tiantian...Brother, I'm sorry for you...What kind of bastard things have I done...God...all my begging before doesn't count...please do it now

Kill me..."

The switch that controlled her tears was out of control again. Xia Xi had only cried so sadly when she was drunk. Unexpectedly, crying when she was sober was hundreds of times more painful than that.

Xia Tian held her cell phone and stood at the bathroom door quietly waiting for him. After 15 minutes, she started knocking on the door.

"Brother, come out. You shouldn't cry for more than 15 minutes, otherwise it will cause all kinds of discomfort." Her tone was like a doctor.

Then there were sounds of crying and laughing inside...

Xia Tian also pursed her lips and smiled. She had cried countless times over these changes in her family. Now when she mentioned the old things again, she could only sigh and could no longer cry.

Memories of the past, painful lovesickness...

Hang up decisively!

Recalling the past is painful...

Hang up again!

I recalled...

Hang up and reply to Dabai: "Busy."

Dabai: "Where do you work?"

Xia Tian: "Busy, let's talk about it later."

Dabai: "The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, have you gone home?"

I'm at work, I'll see you later...

Xia Tian deleted this WeChat message before it was sent out, and then replied: What kind of job do you do? I am in Hainan with my mother, not at home.

Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief and was almost brought in by him. It seemed that after telling a lie, he must remember it.

Dabai: "That's it. That's such a pity."

"What's such a pity." Xia Tian muttered in a low voice, and then she suddenly thought about whether Chengze and Jin Yan had talked on the phone, what if Jin Yan leaked...

She knocked on the bathroom door again: "Brother, come out quickly. I'm hungry. Cook ramen for me."

Xia Tian hid in the bedroom and dialed Jin Yan's phone anxiously.

"Sister, yawn -" Jin Yan seemed to have just woken up, "are you back?"

"No, I won't go back for the New Year. Did you go to my house? How is my mother?"

"I went there when I just got home. My aunt is still like that. I have been having a reunion with my classmates and I haven't been idle these days."

"oh."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"No...nothing."

"Where do you work?"

"It's still a cattery. The owner goes on a trip and keeps the cats and dogs here. The work is not tiring. By the way, have you contacted Da Fei?"

"Get in touch, he's washing dishes in the restaurant."

"That……"

"I heard that Chengze also traveled abroad with his mother. I'm so envious."

"Really, he told you?"

"Listen to what Da Fei said."

"oh."

Xia Tian let out a long breath. After telling a lie, he had to use countless lies to cover it up. It was really tiring.

"You really won't come back for the New Year?"

"Well, otherwise there will be no one to take care of these cats and dogs."

"Oh, then I'll bring my aunt to my home."

"I guess she won't go."

"Then our family will go to your house to celebrate the New Year. Hehe, is there anything else? I'm going to dress up and go out."

"Okay, you're busy."

Dabai: "Then you have to take care of yourself outside."

Xia Tian: "Yeah."

Dabai: "After school starts, will you come to school on time?"

Do you even need to ask?

Xia Tian replied angrily: "Yeah."

Dabai: "That's good, I miss you."

summer:"……"

At this time, the door was pushed open by Xia Xi. With a smile on his lips, he asked: "Why, someone confessed to you?"

Xia Tian shook his head: "No."

Xia Xi asked: "Why is your face so red? Show me your phone."

Xia Tian hurriedly locked the phone, lowered his head and said, "Really not."

Xia Xi held back her laughter and asked, "Is he the boy who gave you the bracelet? The guy who waited for you at the door of the villa last time?"

Xia Tian walked past him to the small dining table and sat down to serve some noodles.

"no."

"You lied to me. I left in a hurry last time and I didn't even take a good look at what he looked like. To be able to give you such an expensive gift, I must be from a good family, but he doesn't belong to the right family. I'm afraid you will be looked down upon if you marry him.

.”

"Brother, he is just a junior of mine. There is no way we can do it. As you said, he is a rich second generation and I am not worthy of him."

"You are so beautiful, how could you not be worthy of me?"

Xia Tian almost spit out the noodles after one mouthful.

"You are talking nonsense with open eyes. One sentence is beautiful and the other is beautiful. I almost believed it."

"Why are you talking nonsense? You look so much like me."

"Are you bragging about yourself? But that's right. Among us brothers and sisters, you are the prettiest."

"I know."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The scene just now was as if it never happened.

Dabai: "Will you go back to school a few days early?"

Dabai: "No way?"
