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

Under this cramped roof, every night is a long and painful ordeal for Xie Ran.

He hugged his brother Xie Xuan'an tightly in his arms, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to embed his brother into his body, never to be separated again.

He buried his face deeply in his brother's back, greedily breathing in the familiar and reassuring breath. Only in this way could his always panicked heart gain a tiny bit of peace.

"If my brother falls in love with Su Yi, what should I do? Will I still have a place in my brother's heart?"

Countless late nights, when everything was quiet, Xie Ran would stare wide-eyed in the darkness, repeatedly asking himself the same question in his heart.

Every time he asked himself this question, it was like an extremely sharp knife with barbs, cutting through his heart and pulling it back and forth.

Anxiety and uneasiness were like thick ink, seeping into every pore of his body bit by bit. The fear of the future was like a boundless, airtight net, binding him tightly and tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight was only shyly showing a tiny glimmer in the sky, Xie Ran would feel, in a state of half-asleep and half-wakefulness, his brother very carefully and gently lifting the quilt for fear of making even the slightest sound.

His brother's eyes were filled with a concentration that no one else could see, as if he was only thinking about preparing breakfast for Su Yi. His serious, almost pious expression made Xie Ran feel that Su Yi had instantly become the only existence in his brother's world.

And after Su Yi's breakfast is carefully prepared, his brother will casually prepare some food for the two of them as if he has completed a task.

Every time Xie Ran saw such a scene, his brows would unconsciously frown, his lips would tremble slightly, and he would mutter to himself in his heart:

"Brother, why are you so concerned about Su Yi? Am I not worthy of your more attention?"

At noon, the scorching sun was like a ruthless tyrant, pouring scorching flames mercilessly on the earth. The whole world seemed to be put into a huge oven.

My brother was sweating profusely outside the house, and every movement he made seemed so heavy and tired.

Every time Xie Ran saw such a scene, his heart would feel like it was being plucked by a huge hand, causing him to feel so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

He would walk up quickly, with a voice that was hard to conceal the pain, and say:

"Brother, let me help you."

My brother would then look up, a pleased smile on his face, and say, "

My brother is really sensible."

But this simple compliment sounded so pale and powerless to Xie Ran.

How he longed for his brother to stop what he was doing, touch his head gently like he did when they were little, and give him a hug that was warm enough to melt everything. However, all this was just a wish deep in his heart.

Whenever he saw his brother becoming distracted and depressed because of Su Yi, even with red eyes and moist eye sockets, the jealousy in Xie Ran's heart was like wildly spreading weeds, instantly occupying his entire heart.

He couldn't help but hold his brother's hand, and said with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice:

"Brother, don't tire yourself out. I'll feel bad."

His eyes were full of anticipation. He hoped that his brother could pay even a little attention away from Su Yi's world and see the concern and worry in his eyes.

He also had such an extreme and terrifying thought in the deepest part of his heart:

If something happened to me, would my brother care about me as much as he cared about Su Yi?

But as soon as this thought appeared, he would slap himself hard and curse himself in his heart.

"Xie Ran, how can you be so selfish and vicious? If this is true, my brother will be so sad and upset."

For Su Yi, Xie Xuan'an is like a spinning top that never stops spinning every day without a moment's peace.

Not only did he have to get up early to prepare three delicious meals a day, but he also had to act like a sentry, always paying attention to even the slightest movement in Su Yi's room, hoping to appear in front of her the first time Su Yi needed him.

Every day, Xie Xuan'an would drag his heavy body back to the bedroom very late. He often fell on the bed, without even taking off his clothes, and fell into a deep sleep, immersed in endless fatigue.

That day, Su Yi woke up early as usual and began waiting for the letter from Xie Xuan'an.

In the past, she would always receive the words full of warmth and care at a fixed time, but today, she waited until the sun set and the familiar letter still did not appear.

His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and a feeling of uneasiness continued to spread in his heart.

He paced back and forth in the room, his eyes full of anxiety and confusion. "Why is there no letter today? Did something happen to him? Or has his feelings for me changed?" Su Yi's heart was in a mess.

Every time Xie Ran saw his brother working so hard for Su Yi, he could only turn around silently and move back to his cold bed step by step.

With every step he took, he felt as if his heart was falling into a bottomless, bone-chilling abyss.

Currently, Xie Ran only dares to do some small actions secretly, and is very careful not to let his brother find out.

He would secretly spill a little bit of the food his brother prepared for Su Yi when his brother wasn't paying attention; or secretly write a few strokes on the note his brother wrote to Su Yi with trembling hands; or quietly take away some of the fruits his brother left at Su Yi's door.

Once, when Xie Ran was about to spill the food, his brother suddenly turned around without warning.

At that moment, Xie Ran felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a huge hand, almost stopping beating. His hand froze in mid-air, and his face instantly turned pale, without a trace of blood.

He hurriedly pretended to be calm and fiddled with the things around him, mumbling stutteringly:

"Why is this thing placed here?"

His brother looked at him doubtfully, a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly turned his head away and continued to work on his tasks.

Xie Ran stood there, his back already soaked with cold sweat. He secretly thanked God that his brother didn't notice. At the same time, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he must be more careful next time and never reveal any flaws again.

One day, Xie Ran received the anonymous text message:

"Xie Ran, wake up!

Su Yi, that guy, has bewitched Xie Xuan'an. Your brother is obsessed with her now, so how can he care about you?

You no longer have a place in his heart. Even if Su Yi tells him to go east, he doesn't dare to go west. Your brother is no longer your brother."

Seeing these malicious and provocative words, Xie Ran felt that the world in front of him began to spin, as if the whole world collapsed in an instant.

The intense jealousy and possessiveness were like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly breaking down his last line of defense of rationality.

While his brother was not paying attention, he sneakily stole the letter his brother wrote to Su Yi and hid in the toilet like a thief.

His hands trembled like leaves in the wind as he slowly opened the letter.

Every word was like a sharp needle, piercing his fragile heart mercilessly, causing him to almost faint from the pain. His eyes burned with anger and unwillingness, his teeth chattered, and he kept muttering to himself: "Why, why did my brother say these sweet words to him, why?"

Unable to accept all this, he lost his mind in extreme anger and burned the letter.

At this time, Xie Xuan'an's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door:

"Ran Ran, haven't you finished using the toilet yet?"

Xie Ran panicked for a moment and frantically tried to deal with the still burning ashes.

His movements were hurried and hasty, and his heart was filled with fear and regret. After finally dealing with the ashes, he trembled and opened the door and walked out.

When Xie Xuanan walked into the bathroom, he immediately smelled a pungent burnt smell.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were full of doubt and puzzlement. He carefully looked at every corner of the toilet, and when he saw the small piece of black ash in the corner, his eyes became sharper.

He turned his head to look at Xie Ran, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. It seemed that he had noticed something unusual but didn't know where to start.

In the days that followed, Xie Ran's heart fell into an abyss of even greater pain and suffering.

Every day he was torn between fear and desire, not knowing how to face his brother.

He was afraid that his brother would discover his shameful little thoughts, but at the same time he desperately wanted more attention and love from his brother.

And his brother Xie Xuan'an was still busy taking care of Su Yi, and seemed to have completely ignored these subtle changes in Xie Ran, which made Xie Ran even more painful and helpless.

Su Yi felt more and more uneasy because he didn't receive the letter. He began to have wild thoughts and even considered whether he should take the initiative to find Xie Xuan'an to ask for clarification.
