Ruan Xi's birthday was during the summer vacation. During that time, Ruan's parents happened to be on a business trip and did not come back in time.In previous years, his parents would arrange birthdays for him, and they would gather at home. He invited some classmates and friends over to have fun. Of course, Xi Yu was also there.

This year when his parents were away, Ruan Xi simply booked a restaurant and only invited some classmates, none named Xi Yu, his parents were away, he was afraid that Xi Yu would be embarrassed if he didn't know others, and at the same time he hoped that Xi Yu would remember his birthday.

It's just that Ruan Xi didn't wait for a message from Xi Yu until the party was over.It's already eleven o'clock when I got home after playing crazy.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xi Yu sitting in the living room, a cake was placed on the coffee table, the candles hadn't been lit, and there was a circle of snacks, Xi Yu looked at him coldly.

Ruan Xi stood there, overjoyed and at a loss.

Xi Yu said, "It's past eleven o'clock."

Ruan Xi muttered: "Professor Xu is not here, so don't worry about access control..."

The Ruan family's parents dote on their only son, but it's not unprincipled, such as the ten o'clock access control this evening.Ruan Xi is still very obedient, and rarely disobeyed, and tonight was also driven crazy by her classmates.

"Drinking?"

"No……"

After all, Xi Yu was still not willing to get angry with Ruan Xi on his birthday, thinking about asking him to copy the text the next day, but said: "Come here."

Ruan Xi was still very afraid that Xi Yu would get angry, so when he saw his face calm down, she happily trot over and sat down.

Xi Yu lit the candle, turned off the light in the living room, and said, "Make a wish."

Ruan Xi obediently closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

Xi Yu looked at his slender eyelashes, and resisted the desire to fiddle with them.

Ruan Xi made a wish, blew out the candles, and cut the cake.Xi Yu hadn't eaten at night, and the cream was too sweet, so he ate an extra piece.And Ruan Xi had already eaten at the restaurant before, but he thought he could eat some more.

After eating the cake, the two sat in the living room for a while, and went upstairs to get ready for bed at twelve o'clock.

Before closing the door, Xi Yu said, "Happy birthday Xiaoxi, good night."

Looking at his gentle appearance, Ruan Xi suddenly felt courageous, and grabbed Xi Yu's hand: "Brother, I like you!"

He straightened out his immature chest, anxiously trying to show some momentum.

Xi Yu was no less uneasy than him, but he was an adult, so he calmed down quickly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't make trouble, take a good rest."

As he spoke, he was about to push Ruan Xi's hand away, but Ruan Xi didn't expect Xi Yu to think he was joking, he was anxious, and blurted out some words: "Brother! I really like you, I have liked you for a long time! "

Xi Yu's expression didn't seem to change at all: "How old are you, are you childish? Study hard."

Ruan Xi stared dejectedly at Xi Yu's closed door for a while before returning to the room.

What he didn't know was that after he calmed down from the bathroom, Xi Yu, like him, didn't fall asleep all night.

Early the next morning, while Ruan Xi was still lying on the bed, he heard the sound of the door closing. When he went downstairs, Xi Yu had already driven away.

After that, there was another long period of neglect.Ruan Xi always wanted to get closer to Xi Yu, trying to curry favor with him and soften his heart.But this time, Xi Yu seemed determined to push him away.

The strange atmosphere between the two of them was felt by Ruan's father and Professor Xu, who was devoted to academic pursuits. Seeing this, he thought it was his son's self-willedness that made Xi Yu angry again. Knowing that they had a good relationship and the brothers were making trouble, It doesn't matter.

Ruan Xi thought: He is not my brother.

The relationship between the two eased slightly when Ruan Xi was about to take the college entrance examination.Although it can't be as close as before, a little softening by Xi Yu is enough to make Ruan Xi happy for a long time.

Ruan Xi thought that everything would be fine, and he believed that there would be a day when Xi Yu was willing to accept it.

Things turned around two months before Ruan Xi's college entrance examination.

Ruan's father went to the construction site to investigate and encountered a collapse accident. After being sent to the hospital, rescue failed and died.

All this happened so suddenly that there was no time for everyone to react.When Ruan Xi rushed to the hospital, she only saw the death verdict in the hands of Father Ruan and Xi Yu who were covered under a white cloth and had no breath.

The boy who was not yet an adult had his legs weak and was supported by Xi Yu. His hands were shaking so badly that it took him a long time to read the words on the paper clearly.At the end, he forgot to breathe, and his face was flushed with choking.Xi Yu hurriedly dragged him to sit down, stroked his back to comfort him, but couldn't say anything to comfort him, so he said, "Xiaoxi, be good."

Ruan Xi slowed down for a while, the color on her face faded, she was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, but she didn't cry, she just said softly, "Where's my mother?"

Professor Xu fainted on the spot after hearing the news, and is now lying in the ward.Xi Yu helped Ruan Xi up, but found that Ruan Xi couldn't even stand firmly, and she was about to fall if she took a step.

Xi Yu couldn't bear to hug him.

Ruan Xi has been looking forward to being hugged by Xi Yu, but now he brushes Xi Yu's hand away: "I can do it."

"I can……"

"I can……"

He leaned stubbornly against the wall, staggered like a toddler to the ward, and sat next to his mother.

He held Professor Xu's hand, bent over and leaned on the bedside: "Mom."

Ruan's father's funeral was arranged by Xi Yu alone.Ruan's father was highly respected during his lifetime. Many well-known scholars and some business partners came to the funeral. Xi Yu stood at the door and greeted him.Professor Xu was ill, Aunt Ruan was taking care of her, Ruan Xi knelt in front of the mourning hall, when guests came to comfort him, he just nodded with a sullen face.

Ruan Xi, who hadn't shed a single tear since hearing the bad news, cried out for Ruan's father, and the sound fell in Xi Yu's ears, making his heart ache.Ruan's father died at the age of 62. Xi Yu also felt very sad about the death of his close elders, but the Ruan family's orphans and widows were already very sad, so he had to shoulder this burden.

After the funeral, Ruan Xi has been taking care of Professor Xu, refusing to leave a step.Aunt Ruan felt distressed seeing him so thin, so she could only make him something to replenish his body, and she also persuaded Professor Xu to cheer up just for the sake of the child.

Professor Xu and her husband are deeply in love with each other, and when they first heard the bad news, they wanted to bear it with their own bodies. At this time, they thought that there was an underage child at home. This child had never suffered setbacks since he was a child. Get better.

However, Professor Xu is still not well, and Ruan Xi, who has not had much rest, fell ill again.

In order to take care of Ruan Xi conveniently, Xi Yu stayed at Ruan's house.

He was worried that Ruan Xi would not be able to sleep, so he got up at night to see him.Ruan Xi had a nightmare, clutching his hand and yelling "Mom and Dad".

Still a child.

Xi Yu comforted him patiently: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Xi is good, senior brother is here, don't be afraid."

After a long time, Ruan Xi calmed down, but her brows were still frowning, and she subconsciously said "Senior Brother".

"Brother, don't ignore me..."

Xi Yu sighed inaudibly, and lay down: "Xiao Xi is good, my brother takes care of you, my brother loves you..."

He said to himself: After this period of time, it will be fine, and he will pamper himself for this period of time.

He is also pampering Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi woke up early, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xi Yu lying beside her. Xi Yu had been working hard these days, and there was a short layer of stubble growing on his chin and he didn't have time to shave it.Even if he is so careless at this time, in Ruan Xi's eyes, he is too good to be doubted.

Ruan Xi showed a pale smile, he stretched out his hand from Xi Yu's forehead to touch his nose bridge to his lips, when his fingertips lingered on Xi Yu's lips, Xi Yu opened his eyes.

Ruan Xi withdrew his hand in shock, he had just lost a loved one, and was afraid that Xi Yu would push him away again.Xi Yu just looked at him misty-eyed for a while, then patted his head, and his hoarse voice fell into his ears: "Are you awake? Get up and wash up, I'll cook something to eat."

For a moment, Ruan Xi almost thought that they had returned to the past.
