The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

It was summer, and in the middle of the night, thunder roared outside the window and raindrops hit the window violently.

Xie Ran gently pushed open the rusty door of his home, and the house was filled with the alluring aroma of food.

"Brother, I'm back." Xie Ran said while changing his shoes.

He walked into the kitchen and saw his brother Xie Xuan'an cutting vegetables skillfully. The knife in his hand rose and fell, and the clanging sound echoed in the somewhat shabby room.

The knife flashed coldly under the dim light, and for some reason Xie Ran suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if this sharp knife possessed some mysterious power.

Xie Xuanan brought out hot soup from the kitchen and called out to Xie Ran: "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

The food on the dining table was simple, and the surrounding walls were a little mottled. Xie Xuan kept picking up food for Xie Ran, muttering, "Eat more, you're as thin as a bamboo pole." Xie Ran's face was filled with a happy smile as bright as the sun, and he ate the food in big mouthfuls.

"How was your fun with your friends today?" Xie Xuan'an asked casually.

Xie Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Just like usual, I wandered around, played basketball for a while, and sang for a while." As he spoke, he secretly observed his brother, thinking that he would deliberately say that he went out to play with a boy and a girl to see if his brother would be jealous.

Xie Xuanan asked again: "Who are you with?"

Xie Ran deliberately paused and said, "With a man and a woman." After that, he stared at his brother's expression.

Xie Xuan'an frowned at first, and Xie Ran felt nervous, thinking that his brother was going to be jealous. But then Xie Xuan'an smiled and said, "Do you have a girl you like? Do you want to find a girlfriend? That's great."

Xie Ran felt uncomfortable when he heard his brother say that. He had expected his brother to show some concern, but his brother's indifference made him feel disappointed. He ate a few mouthfuls of food and muttered, "Brother, you don't worry about me being snatched away at all."

Xie Xuanan smiled and said, "If you can find someone you like, I will be so happy. Tell me quickly, what about that girl?"

Xie Ran curled his lips: "Actually, there's nothing special about it, just ordinary friends playing together."

Xie Xuanan patted Xie Ran on the shoulder: "No matter what, just have fun."

Xie Ran felt confused and finished his meal in a hurry. He no longer had the excitement he had before.

After dinner, the two brothers sat on the worn-out sofa and watched TV. The screen of this ordinary TV flickered from time to time, making a buzzing sound. During the commercial break, Xie Ran cleared his throat and said, "Brother, actually when we were playing together today, the girl took the initiative to give me water. She really cared about me."

Xie Xuan'an still had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all. He gently put his arms around Xie Ran's shoulders, held him against his chest, and slowly touched the back of Xie Ran's neck.

Xie Ran was a little shy, his face slightly reddened, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. He bit his lip and continued, "Later, when we were singing, she even sang several love songs with me."

Xie Xuanan patted Xie Ran on the head and said, "Very good, very good. It seems that this girl is interested in you."

Xie Ran couldn't help but break free from his brother's arms, frowning and saying, "Brother, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Xie Xuan'an was stunned for a moment, then he said gently: "Brother has grown up, it's a good thing that a girl likes you, brother is happy for you."

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and a flash of lightning flashed, illuminating Xie Xuan'an's somewhat gloomy face.

Xie Ran turned his head away angrily, and stopped talking. He just held the remote control tightly in his hand, staring at the TV screen, but his mind was obviously not on the show. Xie Xuan looked at his brother, sighed softly, got up and walked to the kitchen, and poured a glass of warm water.

He returned to the living room, handed the cup of water to Xie Ran, and said softly, "Ran Ran, don't be angry. Drink some water first. I may not have expressed myself well just now."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to drown the whole world.

Xie Ran took the cup of water in silence, but did not drink it. He just put the cup on the coffee table beside him, still without saying a word.

Xie Xuan'an cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Of course, tell me, does that girl do anything else besides giving you water and singing love songs with you?"

Xie Ran was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice: "Brother, what's the point of asking these questions now? You don't care anyway."

Xie Xuanan quickly said: "Don't say that, I care, I really care, I just didn't express it clearly just now."

Xie Ran was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "She also praised my handsome posture when playing basketball and said that I was very sunny and cheerful."

Xie Xuanan then asked: "So how do you feel about her?"

Xie Ran said unhappily: "I don't know, and you don't care anyway."

Xie Xuan'an looked helpless: "Of course, don't say that, I really want to know."

After a long while, Xie Ran seemed to calm down a little, and whispered: "Brother, I hope you can care about me a little more, even a little bit. I just want you to be more nervous when I tell you this, and not be so indifferent."

Xie Xuan'an felt a pang of pain in his heart after hearing this. He hugged Xie Ran tightly in his arms, and said with a little guilt in his voice: "Ran Ran, it's my fault. Brother, I will definitely change in the future. I will change to whatever you want, according to your requirements."

Xie Ran was shy in Xie Xuan'an's arms, but he nodded slightly and agreed to him. Although he didn't know whether his brother would change, he put forward his own request: "Brother, no matter what happens to me in the future, you must listen to me carefully and not perfunctorily. When I am in a bad mood, you must be the first to notice and make me happy. If I am sick, you must be by my side to take care of me."

Xie Xuanan listened carefully, nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, I've remembered it, and I will definitely do it."

Although Xie Ran was very touched, he still didn't intend to forgive his brother so easily.

The two brothers were getting ready to take a shower. Xie Ran walked into the bathroom first, looking angrily, and Xie Xuan followed behind him with a helpless smile on his face.

Xie Xuanan said outside the bathroom: "Of course, brother put the new shower gel in there."

Xie Ran responded in a muffled voice: "I know."

Xie Xuanan continued: "I just adjusted the water temperature, you can try it and see if it is suitable."

Xie Ran still replied unhappily: "Yeah."

After a while, Xie Xuanan asked through the door: "Ran Ran, do you need me to get you pajamas?"

Xie Ran replied unhappily: "No, I have one myself."

Xie Xuan sighed helplessly and waited quietly outside. Xie Ran came out of the shower and still ignored Xie Xuan, walking towards the bedroom on his own.

Xie Xuan'an hurriedly followed him and said, "Of course, I really know I was wrong. Don't ignore me like this."

Xie Ran sat on the edge of the bed, still silent.

Xie Xuanan sat down next to him and said gently, "How about we go play ball together tomorrow? Just the two of us."

Xie Ran then looked up at his brother, and his expression eased a little.

Although Xie Ran's expression eased a little, he still lay down with his back to Xie Xuan'an. Xie Xuan'an also got on the bed, gently hugged Xie Ran from behind, and said, "Ran Ran, I will definitely pay more attention to your feelings in the future." Xie Ran trembled slightly, but did not break free.

After a while, Xie Ran muttered softly: "Brother, I will trust you for now."

At night, Xie Ran turned over in his sleep and unconsciously moved closer to Xie Xuan'an.

In a daze, he recalled every expression of his brother, quietly reached out his hand, hugged his brother's waist, and rubbed gently in his brother's arms, his face blushing unconsciously.

Xie Xuanan was awakened by his brother's movements and asked softly, "Ranran, are you still asleep?"

Xie Ran said in a small voice with a hint of shyness: "Brother, I want you to hold me like this."

Xie Xuan'an raised the corner of his mouth, touched his brother's neck, and hugged him tighter: "Go to sleep, brother is always here."

The morning sun shone into the room. Xie Ran woke up first. Looking at his brother who was still sleeping, the anger in his heart had completely dissipated.

He got up quietly without waking up Xie Xuan'an, thinking that he would make a loving breakfast for his brother later.
