Little Shi Yun, with his short arms and legs, was very cute, like a fluffy little tail.
Shi Cheng would take him out to show off to others, and he also became a famous brother-loving demon in the surrounding villages.
Shi Cheng handed Shi Yun a peeled apple: “Mom and Dad went to the police station to cooperate with some things, I guess they’ll be back this afternoon, you’ll definitely give them a surprise!”
Shi Yun lowered his head, staring at the apple, feeling inevitably expectant and nervous.
He asked cautiously: “How are Mom and Dad doing these years?”
He didn’t dare to imagine that he had lost his memory and was living carefree, but how painful would those who had the memory be?
Where he couldn’t see, Shi Cheng’s hand, hidden by his side, was faintly trembling.
He hadn’t recovered from the excitement of his brother regaining his memory, and it took him a few seconds to react to Shi Yun’s question.
He rubbed Shi Yun’s head: “Mom and Dad are doing well, they miss you very much.”
Shi Yun took a bite of the apple, and his nose was a little sore.
On the rooftop.
An Huaixu threw a piece of candy into his mouth, and the sweet and familiar taste finally calmed him down.
He had actually done this mental construction many times, but he didn’t expect that when it really happened, he still wouldn’t be as calm as he had imagined.
On the one hand, it was because this was something he had been looking forward to for many years.
On the other hand, his feelings for Shi Yun had long changed.
He was an extremely greedy person, and he didn’t want to be separated from the person he liked even for a moment.
He couldn’t be content with being just brothers.
After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and was about to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, he had only just turned around when he stopped in place.
He looked up and saw the figure in front of him, his brow furrowing slightly.
“Huaixu.”
An Mingli leaned against the rooftop door, his eyes, which seemed to see through everything, had been watching him for who knew how long.
“I didn’t notice you coming over for so long, that’s not like you.”
An Mingli had a cigarette in his mouth that wasn’t lit and slowly approached.
An Huaixu didn’t speak.
An Mingli leaned against the railing, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: “What are you thinking about? Tell your brother.”
An Huaixu started to leave.
An Mingli: “Dare to like but not dare to pursue?”
An Huaixu stopped in place: “What do you mean?”
An Mingli seemed to be mocking him: “Should I tell you about my story when I was in college and chasing your sister-in-law?”
When An Mingli was in college, he fell in love at first sight with Li Zhiqing, who was a senior, and after pestering her for two years, he finally shook the heart of the girl who ‘only wanted to study and didn’t want to be in a relationship’.
Li Zhiqing was from a famous scholarly family in A City, and her parents’ requirements for their son-in-law were extremely strict.
An Mingli used all kinds of tricks and finally won the blessings of the two elders on his 17th visit.
Later, Li Zhiqing went abroad for further studies, and An Mingli inherited the family business, and the two started a three-year long-distance relationship.
It was said that An Mingli’s life was smooth sailing in both love and career, but that was only half true.
His road to love was quite bumpy.
An Mingli: “You weren’t afraid of making Mom and Dad’s blood pressure soar when you came out, and now you’re knocked down by a small setback?” He lit a cigarette and still smiled: “Brat, don’t let me look down on you.”
An Huaixu continued to walk forward, and his calm appearance, which didn’t change at all, almost made An Mingli think that his accurate ‘brother-reading machine’ had malfunctioned.
But how was that possible?
An Mingli raised his voice a degree: “Don’t be so fierce, be nice to Shi Yun, I’m afraid his brother’s anger will burn me.”
An Huaixu surprisingly grunted this time.
An Mingli was gratified: “My stupid brother has finally seen the light.”
Before going downstairs, An Huaixu suddenly turned his head and took a picture of him with his phone.
An Mingli’s right eye twitched.
Then, his phone rang, and the screen showed—’Dear Wife’.
An Mingli hurriedly put out the cigarette and answered the phone: “Hello, wife~”
A woman’s sneering voice clearly came from the other side of the phone: “An Mingli, if you can’t quit smoking, don’t come back.”
An Mingli smiled obsequiously, but in fact, he had cursed An Huaixu over and over in his heart a thousand times.
Shi Yun was sleepy because he had just woken up, and he fell asleep again after talking to Shi Cheng for a while.
An Huaixu came back, and Shi Cheng was still sitting by the bed.
Shi Cheng greeted him with his eyes.
An Huaixu was about to turn his head when he suddenly thought of something and greeted stiffly: “Brother.”
Shi Cheng had never seen An Huaixu so ‘well-behaved’ after growing up. The apple in his mouth was immediately scared to the ground.
An Huaixu acted as if nothing had happened, naturally sat on the other side of the bed, and grabbed a few candies from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Shi Cheng looked at his every move in a daze.
An Mingli then came in and sat on the chair at the door.
Shi Cheng looked at him, his soul returning to his body.
He didn’t understand, pointing at An Huaixu and then pointing at his own head.
The meaning was—is there something wrong with my brother’s head?
An Mingli closed his eyes and didn’t want to see.
The path that his stupid brother was going to take was even more difficult than his…
The elders came faster than they had imagined.
Shi Cheng went downstairs to pick them up. As the footsteps got closer, Shi Yun slept more and more uneasily, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.
An Huaixu noticed this abnormality and gently stroked his head: “It’s okay.”
Perhaps An Huaixu’s voice was too gentle, or perhaps his breath comforted Shi Yun, he finally gradually calmed down and slowly woke up.
He seemed to be confused for a moment, staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking about.
An Huaixu’s heart ached when he saw him like this, and he subconsciously held his hand tightly, fearing that he would disappear again if he wasn’t careful.
Shi Yun came back to his senses and turned his head to look at An Huaixu.
His face wasn’t very good, and the smile he forced out to comfort him seemed so fragile.
He said softly: “I’m okay, I just miss my parents a little…”
An Huaixu felt the hand in his palm trembling slightly.
Shi Yun continued to look at the ceiling, and a large amount of darkness began to appear before his eyes, his head aching.
“Brother Huaixu, are my parents almost here?”
An Huaixu nodded: “They’ll be here soon.”
Shi Yun’s eyelids drooped: “That’s good.”
Before his consciousness plunged into darkness again, he saw two anxious figures pushing the door open and walking in.
Against the light, he saw their faces clearly.
He suddenly remembered many years ago when he woke up on his bed and reached out, staggering towards his parents standing at the door.
“Dad, Mom…”
“Xiaoyu.”
Shi Yun was rushed into the operating room, and the red light that lit up again pulled at everyone’s hearts.
Shi’s mother’s joy at seeing her son was shattered, and she cried silently, hugging her good friend An’s mother.
Shi’s father made a phone call and urgently contacted the best hospital in the country for a transfer.
An Huaixu stood on the edge, watching everyone busy, his heart pounding.
This familiar scene gave him a feeling that he was about to lose Shi Yun again.
He shook his head, took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out a few pills, and stuffed them into his mouth.
He leaned against the wall wearily, took a deep breath, but the surrounding atmosphere didn’t reduce his restlessness, but increased it.
He opened the medicine bottle and poured out a few more pills.
Just as he was about to put them into his mouth, a hand stopped him.
“What are you doing?”
An Huaixu tried to shake him off, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Shi Cheng.
This somewhat familiar face made him dazed for a moment.
Shi Cheng took the opportunity to snatch his medicine bottle away: “You can’t take so much of this medicine at once, don’t you want to live?”
An Huaixu didn’t speak.
Shi Cheng glared at him, feeling that he was hopeless. Just as he was about to say something, the doctor walked out of the operating room.
He was about to call An Huaixu to come over, but when he turned his head, he found that he was already one step ahead, following the crowd.
Shi Cheng sighed, looking at An Huaixu’s obviously worried figure.
Well, he didn’t understand the things these little kids were dealing with, so he would just leave it to them.
At most, he would help them talk to their parents.
Shi’s mother choked with sobs and asked the doctor: “How’s my son?”
The doctor quickly explained the situation: “The last time we diagnosed that there was a blood clot in the patient’s brain, we scheduled an operation for later, but after the patient first woke up, the memory recovered, and frequent stimulation caused the blood clot to move to an important functional area, so an operation is needed as soon as possible.”
After he finished speaking, he quickly took out a consent form and asked the family to sign.
Shi’s mother was weak, and Shi’s father supported Shi’s mother and signed his name on the consent form.
The doctor nodded and returned to the operating room.
The moment the door closed tightly, everyone’s mood fell to the bottom.
An’s father patted Shi’s father’s shoulder: “Xiaoyu is a lucky person, he will definitely be fine.”
Shi’s father nodded, but the worry on his brow didn’t disappear.
An’s mother approached and sighed. She gave birth to An Mingli, and she knew what he was like.
If things didn’t have an answer, he wouldn’t give up.
She pulled An Huaixu to the corner to rest and took a cup of warm water from the side and handed it to him.
“Calm down, what does it look like for Xiaoyu to see you like this?!”
An Huaixu moved when he heard Shi Yun’s name.
He rested his elbows on his knees and buried his head.
