"Brother Rui?"

"..."

"Brother Rui!"

Yu Rui's shoulder was hit hard, and when he regained his senses, he turned his gaze to the side and saw Qiao Shengyu chasing up from behind in confusion, "Here's your homework, thank you!"

"Well, you're welcome."

"But what were you thinking just now, so engrossed? I called you several times from behind and you didn't respond."

"It's okay." Yu Rui walked out two steps, hesitated for a while before asking, "Do you know Ye Mumu?"

"Ye Mumu?" Qiao Shengyu was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, when I went back to get my schoolbag, I heard someone in the classroom say that she blocked the door and confessed to you today, right?"

Yu Rui was helpless, "It doesn't count."

"Ye Mumu's brother is from outside the school, so it's really not easy to mess with, but Brother Rui, if you are worried that she will threaten you next time, then leave this matter to me, and I will help you clear it up." Qiao Shengyu slapped his chest loudly.

"I can solve Ye Mumu's matter."

"Then what bothers you?"

"..." Yu Rui was silent for a moment, and rarely frowned, "Xie Li had a conflict with Ye Mumu today, will her brother do anything to Xie Li?"

Hearing Xie Li's name, Qiao Shengyu's expression suddenly became weird, "Xie Li doesn't seem very polite to you, are you still worried about him?"

"This incident happened because of me. If something happens to him, I can't explain it to the teacher."

"That's right..." Qiao Shengyu scratched his head, "But you don't have to worry about Xie Li at all, he won't be in trouble if anything happens to him."

"?" Yu Rui stopped walking.

"I can't say too much. Brother Rui, just remember, don't provoke Xie Li if you have anything to do, stay as far away from him as you can."

Qiao Shengyu muttered something again, and without waiting for Yu Rui to speak again, he waved his hand and walked away noisily with the gang of cronies in the school.

Yu Rui stood where he was, with an uncertain expression.

One of his life creeds is to play wisely and protect oneself.So he didn't want to provoke someone like Xie Li who was obviously ill and whose condition was unknown.

However, the current situation is that he does not cause trouble, but the trouble seems to be on him.

"Thank you, Li."

Yu Rui frowned and said it again, pursed his lips, put on his earphones and left.

-

Yu Rui lives in the old town.The walls of the residential buildings in the community are mottled, and the side floors are covered with creepers, which are obviously old.

This is a dormitory building at the end of the last century, with the highest five floors, no elevator, and the corridors are dilapidated.The sensor lights on the second and third floors had been broken for a long time, so Yu Rui slowed down to avoid the debris piled up in the corridor.

Up to the fourth floor, he took out the key, unlocked and entered the house.But the house was also dark.

Yu Rui stopped in the entrance, "Xiaoli?"

The empty living room was quiet for a long time, and with the sound of a decayed metal door hinge, the door of a small bedroom was pushed open from the inside.

The thin figure in the darkness stood for a while, then called softly, "Brother."

Hearing his younger sister Yu Li's voice, Yu Rui heaved a sigh of relief, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"I turned off the light after finishing my homework, so I can't waste electricity." In the dark, the girl whispered.

Yu Rui was helpless, he glanced at the closed master bedroom door, "That person didn't come back?"

The girl shrank her eyes and shook her head.

"Have you had dinner?"

Yuri shook her head again.

Yu Rui turned on the light in the living room and put his schoolbag on the sofa.Then he straightened up with a smile, and raised his hand to rub the girl's hair.

"Then go back to your room and read a book first. I'll cook and call you when I'm ready."

"Aren't you tired, brother? Let me do it."

"You?" Yu Rui walked towards the kitchen, and a joking laugh came back, "Are you here to bake the kitchen?"

"I won't!"

"I'll be fine, you go back and study."

"Oh……"

Yu Ruiqing fried two vegetables out of the pot, and when he was about to take them to the restaurant, he saw Yu Li running into the kitchen with his mobile phone.

"Brother, someone called you."

"Well, who's calling?" Yu Rui asked without looking back.

"I don't know the number and voice, but it's a bit fierce." Yu Li recalled, "He asked me who I was, but I didn't tell him."

"Yeah." Yu Rui washed his hands and took it, and there was indeed an unfamiliar number on the screen. "Xiao Li, take the dishes to the living room first."

"it is good."

Yu Li left, Yu Rui hesitated for two seconds before calling back.

The opposite side is connected almost instantly.

"Is the squad leader busy at night too?" His tone was low and mocking, still tinged with the coolness of the night.

The smile on Yu Rui Qingjun's face faded, "Is there something wrong with Xie Li?"

"Who is the girl who answered the phone just now?"

"It's none of your business."

"So it's your girlfriend."

"..."

Yu Rui discovered that this person had a "special ability" - Xie Li seemed to be able to easily exhaust the endurance he had cultivated for more than ten years, and then bring him close to the edge of failure in the shortest possible time.

Yu Rui endured it, "That's my sister."

"Ah." The other person paused for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, "I'm sorry for not saying good evening to my sister. I'll bring her a gift next time to apologize."

Yu Rui: "..."

Yu Rui: "That's my sister, not your sister. And I won't let you see her."

"Tsk. The squad leader back home is really cold." The man laughed hoarsely, "Is it because no one else is there, so there is no need to cover up?"

"...If you're okay, then I'm going to hang up."

"Okay, good night, monitor."

"..."

When he heard the beep, Yu Rui hadn't recovered yet.

He stood there for a few seconds before he could react, and then put down the phone with a stiff movement.The screen that lights up is showing the words "Call ended."

Yu Rui: "?"

He didn't say anything when he called, as if he just wanted to say good night... What kind of sick state is this?

"Brother, let's eat."

"Well, here we come."

Yu Rui put away the gloom in his eyes and walked towards the living room.

After the meal, Yu Rui checked Yu Li's homework and urged her to go to bed.

The girl in her early teens was just at the time when her mind was sprouting, pestering Yu Rui and him chattering and excitedly talking about things in school.Yu Rui has always been the most patient with Yu Li, without any anxiety. He didn't get up and leave the room softly until he coaxed the girl to fall asleep.

Yu Rui returned to his room after packing up the tableware in the living room.He put on rimless glasses, and when he was halfway through a brand new comprehensive examination paper, someone knocked on the outer door of his house.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The rumbling sound seemed to wake up the people in the whole building, and it was vaguely accompanied by the man's rough drunken cursing——

"Little rabbit, bastard... Where are you going to die! Why don't you hurry up and open the door for... Lao Tzu!"

Under the pale light, there was not much surprise on the young Qingjun's face.

Emotions were also indifferent in the dark eyes.

He glanced back at the closed door of Yuli's small bedroom, and without hesitation for too long, he turned and went to the entrance to open the door for the drunk outside.

As soon as the metal door was opened, there was a disgusting smell of alcohol.

Yu Rui frowned.

There were two people standing outside the door.Yu Rui on the left didn't know him, and he didn't want to know him; the one on the right was still cursing and being supported by the person beside him like mud.

"You are Yu Rui, right?" The stranger smiled awkwardly at Yu Rui, "Your father drank too much again, and finally found the house, you can help him back."

Yu Rui didn't reach out.

He just stood there calmly, glanced at his father who was so drunk like a stranger, and then raised his eyes indifferently.

"Uncle, if he still drinks like this next time, you don't have to send him back. It's okay to throw him by the side of the road."

"……what?"

"My sister is young and sleeps lightly. She has to go to school early tomorrow morning, so she can't afford to worry about it. If you drag him back next time to get drunk and send him back, don't blame me for not opening the door for you."

"Hey, look at your kid..."

The drunk-eyed Yu Congsheng seemed to be awake, twisted a few times, pointed at the indifferent Yu Rui and cursed: "You rabbit, bastard—I don't even care about your father, right!? I gave birth to you two for nothing Goods - bah!"

The person next to him shook his hand in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.He turned his head to look at the young man standing inside the door, expecting to see his blushing face, but unexpectedly, the young man seemed to have heard nothing.

Cursing sounded endlessly, Yu Rui only frowned before the man's voice became louder. "Xiaoli is already asleep, don't wake her up."

"You fucking dare to teach me a lesson! Who gave you the guts!"

The man's face was flushed, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and suddenly he raised his hand and slapped the boy on the face.

A crisp slap.

Yu Rui's face was slapped sideways, the rimless glasses were a little crooked, hanging on the bridge of his straight nose, a dazzling red soon appeared in the cold white complexion.

There is a fishy sweetness in the throat.

This time even the person outside the door was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he hurried to pull Yu Congsheng, "Old Yu, are you confused? Why are you beating your own child!"

He didn't dare to let the father and son get along again, so he hurriedly dragged Yu Congsheng into the master bedroom and threw him on the bed, then closed the door and came out.

The man comforted Yu Rui with a few embarrassing words before leaving.

The door is closed.

Yu Rui stood there silently for a while, raising his hand to fit his glasses.

Without looking back, he turned and walked into his room.

The comprehensive science paper on the desk is half done.Under the light of the desk lamp, the handwriting formed a faint yellow double shadow.

Yu Rui sat down at the table and picked up a pencil.After completing the two multiple-choice questions, the nib of the pen stopped, leaving slight lead marks on the scroll.

Then the pencil was placed on the table.

The boy at the desk slowly leaned back into the back of the wooden chair.

After a while, he laughed softly.

Probably because the light from the desk lamp was too dazzling, Yu Rui raised his hand to cover his closed eyes with a smile.

Then dead silence.

The window was open, and the late summer wind was blowing into the room.

In the scorching heat, Yu Rui looked at the ceiling and shivered slightly.
