What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]
Chapter 23
Li Huaikang was still very flustered at first, but after being yelled at by Wang Guihua, he came back to his senses. After hearing her words clearly, he frowned and said, "I'm not heavy on my feet. Who would have thought he would hit the sofa? Just send him to the hospital. You yell!" What."
Wang Guihua couldn't believe that Li Huaikang was so indifferent and selfish. The surprise of seeing her son earlier disappeared at this moment. Seeing her little son lying on the ground covered in blood, she remembered that Li Huaikang had never Concealed disgust and disgust, Wang Guihua couldn't help crying.
Seeing Wang Guihua crying loudly, Li Huaikang's expression became even more impatient. He turned his head to look at the assistant, and said coldly, "What are you still doing, call an ambulance."
The assistant froze for two seconds before quickly nodded. He never expected that things would develop like this, let alone Li Huaikang kicked his younger brother to the ground, and now his life and death are still unknown.
The secretary dialed 120 very calmly, and when Wang Guihua was screaming, he pushed Wang Guihua away and said calmly: "Don't shake him, the child's head is injured, you will make his injury worse."
"My son... my son, is he..." Wang Guihua trembled, but she couldn't say that word.
"Just passed out, nothing happened."
The secretary knelt down to look at it and came to a conclusion, and then gave Jiang Bao emergency treatment.
Wang Guihua stood aside with her mouth covered, Jiang Bao's face was full of blood in her mind, she turned her eyes to Li Huaikang in a daze, and saw him standing aside with his chest folded, frowning impatiently and irrelevant, her eyes Instantly turned red.
"How can you be so cruel!" Wang Guihua strode forward, grabbed Li Huaikang's collar and asked, "That's your brother, that's your own brother! How could you go down, your brother was kicked by you Now lying there unconscious, you act like none of your business, you are still human! Ah? Do you still have a conscience?"
Li Huaikang frowned and shook off Wang Guihua's hand. He felt funny when he heard her words, took a step back and said coldly: "He's not my younger brother, my surname is Li, and you didn't have soft hands when you beat Li Huaicheng before, oh , you look like you don’t know who Li Huaicheng is? It’s Jiang Yuan who was abused by you before, let me tell you, what is Li Huaicheng’s position in your heart, and what is your son’s position in my heart, let me go.”
Wang Guihua only felt a humming in her head, and she fainted. Before she lost consciousness, there were only two words in her mind - retribution.
When Li Huaicheng opened the door, he saw Li's mother standing outside the door, ready to knock on the door. Seeing him open the door, he smiled and said, "There's a phone downstairs, I'm looking for you."
"Find me?"
Li Huaicheng was a little surprised, but nodded despite his doubts, "I see, thank you mom."
Hearing Li Huaicheng's polite thanks, Li's mother smiled slightly, and said softly: "Go down and answer the phone, don't make people wait for a long time."
As soon as he took two steps, Li Huaicheng guessed who was calling. After coming to Li's house, he only called Zhang Xing's family to report his safety, and no one else knew the phone number here.
"Hi, I'm Jiang Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan! I have big news for you!"
Sure enough, it was Zhang Xing, the smile on Li Huaicheng's face deepened a little, and his tone became casual.
"what news?"
"Guess what I'm going to say first!" Zhang Xing's voice was very excited, but he still wanted to show off: "You will never think of what I'm going to say! And it's absolutely amazing! After hearing it, I guarantee that you will be in such a good mood today!"
"You got promoted?" Li Huaicheng guessed without distraction.
"Why are you happy about my promotion?" Zhang Xing clicked his tongue, very dissatisfied with Li Huaicheng's perfunctory.
"Oh..." Li Huaicheng thought for a while, "Is it related to the Jiang family?"
"Smart!" Zhang Xing said triumphantly, "Uncle Xing, what I'm going to tell you is first-hand information. Now call uncle to uncle. I'll listen to it. Uncle will tell you as soon as he's happy."
Li Huaicheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said, "Whether you like to talk or not, I'll hang up if you don't."
"Would you respect the old, love the young, and respect the elders, kid?" Zhang Xing stopped being impatient after complaining, and a gloating laugh came, while laughing, he said, "Do you know that Wang Guihua and Jiang Bao were together yesterday?" Entering the hospital, one with blood on the face and one with a pale face and dying, they were all carried into the ambulance, you didn't see it, everyone in the community who heard the movement of the ambulance immediately went to join in the fun, That scene was spectacular. At that time, Wang Guihua and the others were accompanied by two men and a boy. I don’t know what they did in the past. They left with the ambulance. Now everyone in the community is guessing what happened last night. What, Zhao Tianguang, who lives across from your house, told us later, who do you think that man is? You can never guess..."
"Li Huaikang, the person who switched contracts with me back then." Li Huaicheng interrupted Zhang Xing lightly and asked, "Did I guess right?"
Over there, Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of annoyance, put away all the excitement in his voice, and carefully asked: "...how are you doing at your biological parents' house?"
Hearing Zhang Xing's concerned voice, Li Huaicheng's smile deepened, but his voice was very low: "That's it, is there anything else?"
"You...are you unhappy?" Zhang Xing's voice became more careful, "Actually, if you are unhappy, the bed in my room has not been put away, and you can come back anytime you want."
"Hahahahaha..." Li Huaicheng laughed out loud, "I lied to you, what kind of grievances can I suffer in my biological parents' house."
Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't believe it. He asked, "Are you unhappy and dare not say it? You and I don't have to do this. If you are unhappy, you can tell me, and..."
"Where did you hear that I'm not happy?" Li Huaicheng asked.
"You used to fake or sneer, but you laughed so loudly just now, I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard it."
The smile on Li Huaicheng's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up the phone. Help me and Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang speak."
"Don't!" Zhang Xing quickly stopped.
After hearing Li Huaicheng's clear but indifferent voice, Zhang Xing was sure that Li Huaicheng was doing well, he let go of his worries, his voice regained its vitality, and said, "There is something else I want to tell you. , Lei Lei came back two days ago. I heard that your biological parents left me a contact information after they brought you to Qingshi. They want me to tell you that if you have trouble or want to run away from home, you can find him. I will give him his number. Tell you."
When Li Huaicheng heard the words, he said grace, picked up the notebook next to the phone and wrote it down.
After reporting the phone number, Zhang Xing said: "But I told Lei Lei that even if you run away from home, you will come to find me and not him, so you can just check the number. If there is anything to do, of course you should call me, brother Xing."
Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and a shallow but warm smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He hummed lightly, but his voice was very cold: "Brother Xing, according to the degree of reliability, Lei Lei is more reliable than you. I still have to make up lessons, so I'll hang up first."
Hearing the busy beeping on the phone, Zhang Xing looked at the phone that showed the end of the conversation, and murmured to comfort himself: "The elder nephew has no conscience, and the elders don't care about him."
Putting down the phone in his hand, Li Huaicheng couldn't hold back a low smile. When he looked up, he saw Li Huaijin walking towards him. He was surprised for a moment and said, "Brother, do you want to call? I'm done."
Li Huaijin shook his head, "No, I just came to remind you that the teacher who will make up your lessons is here."
"That's it." A faint smile appeared on Li Huaicheng's face, "I'll go up, thank you for reminding me."
After finishing speaking, Li Huaicheng saw Li Huaijin standing there watching him motionless, and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
Li Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know what to say, and seeing Li Huaicheng's curious expression, he gave a temporary reason: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, why would you call me and ask me if I want to go swimming, so I'll ask Ask you, if you want to go, I will take you with me after class in the afternoon."
Li Huaicheng really thought about it when he heard the words. He has never swam in two lifetimes. It sounds interesting, and he hasn't been out much since he came to Li's house. It's not bad to go out for a walk.
"Okay." Li Huaicheng smiled and said, "If you don't mind the trouble, I want to go with you after class."
Li Huaijin frowned slightly, and said lightly: "No trouble."
Seeing Li Huaijin's frowning eyebrows, Li Huaicheng didn't think he was unhappy as before. Through this period of getting along, he found that the rumors about Li Huaijin in his previous life were still somewhat wrong. Li Huaijin did not have many facial expressions, but it was not all the time. With a cold face, it is only because he is more mature than his peers since he was a child, so he looks calm and calm.
Most of the time, as Li's mother said, he is just not good at expressing, just like frowning. Li Huaicheng found that Li Huaijin frowns most of the time because he is entangled or doesn't know what to say, not because he is really unhappy.
"Then I'll go to your room to find you after I finish class." Li Huaicheng smiled.
"Yes." Li Huaijin nodded, and suddenly thought: "You don't have swimming trunks?"
Li Huaicheng was taken aback by this question, he did not have swimming trunks.
"No."
Li Huaijin frowned again, and he pondered for a moment: "I'll take you to buy swimming trunks first, and then we'll meet He Xiang after shopping."
Li Huaicheng thought he couldn't go today, but he was a little surprised to hear Li Huaijin say that, he hesitated and said, "Will this delay the time of you and Brother Xiang, I will go next time."
"Don't delay, you go to class first, and I will find me in my room after class in the afternoon."
Back in the room, Li Huaijin closed the door and dialed He Xiang's number.
As soon as the phone was connected, He Xiang's laughing voice came over: "It's rare! Mr. Li actually has time to call the little one at this point. Did he miss me, brother, or did he finally want to come out to play?"
"Ah."
"Forget it, I know you must have something to look for—" He Xiang paused and repeated: "Yeah! You just said eh? Did you eh because you missed me or because you wanted to come out to play, no, you Is it Li Huaijin, you hum again, let me know if it's the real body!"
Li Huaijin twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "I have something to do with you."
He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew you had something to do with me, what are you, you scared me to death just now."
"Because what I want to say is to ask you to go out to play." Li Huaijin didn't seem to hear He Xiang's yelling over there, and his speech was as steady as a report at a meeting: "At six o'clock in the afternoon, I will Take my brother out to the newly opened swimming club you mentioned last time, and we will meet there."
"Your brother? Which brother? Li Huaikang or Li Huaicheng..." In the middle of speaking, He Xiang remembered Li Huaikang's going to Shashi, and said, "You mean you brought Li Huaicheng out? Yes, I just like it. His, and the most important thing is that meeting him is like seeing a smaller version of you, which is very interesting."
"En." Li Huaijin asked, "Do you know where there are swimming trunks for sale, suitable for teenagers?"
"Swimming trunks?" He Xiang asked puzzled, "Didn't I just give you a pack last time? They are all the latest models this year, so you can just wear those."
"I bought it for Huaicheng."
"Well, you go to Hai Rui. It's your uncle's property. There is an area on the seventh floor that sells swimsuits. The styles there are all new and professional."
"Well, thank you."
Hang up the phone, He Xiang thought about it.
Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Li Huaicheng has become so important in Li Huaijin's heart. Even when talking about Li Huaikang before, Li Huaijin never said the word "my brother" so intimately, at most he called him "Huaikang" ...
But who cares, as long as Li Huaijin is happy, why don't you want to put this problem aside, climb out of bed and go to the bathroom humming a song.
dong dong dong-
Almost at the same time as the knock on the door, Li Huaijin opened the door.
Li Huaicheng was still raising his hand, he didn't expect Li Huaijin to open the door so fast, he was stunned for two seconds before putting down his hand and said: "Brother, I'm done."
"Then let's go."
Li Huaijin came out and closed the door, rubbing Li Huaicheng's head very naturally.
Sitting in Li Huaijin's car, Li Huaicheng always felt that there was something wrong with Li Huaijin's writing today, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Huaijin who was driving like a car from the corner of his eye. It's no different, Li Huaicheng looked away, thinking that he might be thinking too much.
This was Li Huaicheng's first time in a car driven by Li Huaijin, but he felt unexpectedly safe, because Li Huaijin's driving style was the same as his own, very calm.
After arriving at Hairui Plaza, Li Huaijin took Li Huaicheng straight to the seventh floor.
Neither of them like to go shopping. After Li Huaicheng tried the swimming trunks recommended by the salesperson and found that the size was suitable, Li Huaijin bought the order directly.
When Li Huaijin and his brothers arrived at the swimming club, He Xiang was already waiting there.
He greeted Li Huaicheng and walked to the middle of Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin in a very familiar way, and smiled and put his arms around their shoulders, then turned to Li Huaicheng and asked, "Chengcheng, have you ever swam before? How was it?"
Li Huaicheng glanced at the hand that could easily rest on his shoulder, shook his head and said, "I haven't swam."
He Xiang rubbed Li Huaicheng's head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's okay, your brother doesn't know how to swim, every time he splashes by the water for a long time, it's very funny, you don't know, before he was in junior high school, whenever he swam, he had to hug him." A swimming ring. After junior high school, I feel embarrassed and don’t need a swimming ring. But I only dare to splash in the shallow water. Basically, he doesn’t want to come to the swimming pool except for swimming lessons. Every time I ask him to come out to swim, he doesn’t come. Today He suddenly said that he would take you with him..."
"Cough-cough-"
Li Huaijin turned his head away, clenched his fists to his lips, his throat seemed to be very uncomfortable, he coughed for a long time before he stopped, his eyes were red.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Cough, cough, it's okay..." Li Huaijin coughed and shook his head, as if saying two words could hardly suppress the itching in his throat, so he began to cough.
"Did you catch a cold, or we..."
"It's okay, he just feels uncomfortable when he sees the swimming pool, so don't bother him." He Xiang raised an eyebrow at Li Huaijin, smiled and said to Li Huaicheng: "Let's warm up first, and then change into our swimming trunks after warming up."
Li Huaicheng didn't expect He Xiang's warm-up to be very professional. After doing a set of stretching exercises, he felt his whole body warmed up, and the joints and ligaments were stretched.
After warming up, take a shower to adjust to the water temperature before swimming. It just so happens that each locker room in the club has its own shower.
Just as Li Huaicheng left, Li Huaijin and He Xiang also left the locker room.
"I just said why do you want to swim, so it's for Chengcheng." He Xiang joked with a smile, "The acting skills are good, and it's okay to change careers to be an actor in the future. My brother looks like this, and there are countless people standing in front of the camera. Female fans screaming."
"He is very obedient and sensible." Li Huaijin ignored He Xiang's last sentence and said calmly.
"Indeed." He Xiang smiled slightly, threw the swimming cap in his hand on the stool casually, and said, "I really like Chengcheng, you should treat him better."
Li Huaijin: "He is my younger brother, so I will naturally treat him well. No matter how much you like him, he is not your younger brother."
He Xiang: ...
"Yes." He Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, but as your best friend, in order to prevent you from regretting it later, I still want to remind you that your real brother and fake brother must be clearly distinguished. , even if you have feelings, if you are not kissing, you are not kissing after all, so whether it is psychological or action, you'd better have a clear expression."
Li Huaijin paused, his face was thoughtful, and he said after a few seconds: "I know."
Li Huaicheng was standing by the pool, when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head and waved to Li Huaikang and He Xiang.
Li Huaijin and He Xiang came talking and laughing, and when they saw Li Huaicheng waving, they also raised their hands and waved at him, but before they put down their hands, they suddenly stopped, and the smiles on their faces disappeared little by little.
The eyes of the two fell on the boy's white back at the same time. There were many large and small wounds on the boy's back, the most obvious of which was the light pink scar that was nearly ten centimeters from the shoulder blade to the spine, probably just healed. After a while, he could still faintly see the traces of the stitches, which looked particularly hideous on his fair skin.
Li Huaicheng saw that Li Huaijin and He Xiang were still waving at him one second, but suddenly stopped and stared at him with a very strange expression in the next second.
Under the eyes of the two, Li Huaicheng looked down at himself suspiciously, wondering if there was something strange about his body or face, but after looking at it, there was nothing wrong. It suddenly appeared that he had seen horror movies about swimming pools, and at that moment, he felt as if the temperature around him had dropped by two degrees.
Li Huaicheng's body stiffened. In the past, he was neither afraid nor believed in these things, but this incident of rebirth taught him a vivid lesson, making him clearly realize that there are many things in this world that he has never seen, but are not familiar with. Represents the unknown that does not exist.
The picture in his mind became more and more terrifying. Li Huaicheng felt his hairs stand on end. He quickly got up and walked towards them, asking, "Brother, Brother Xiang, what are you looking at?"
Li Huaicheng's voice brought Li Huaijin and He Xiang back to their senses. As Li Huaicheng approached, Li Huaijin found that there were many scars not only on his back, but also on his arms. The most obvious one was like a burn. He reached out and grabbed it. Li Huaicheng's hand, wanting to see if there were any other wounds on his body.
However, Li Huaicheng was taken aback by Li Huaijin's unusual expression and sudden movements. With a shaking hand, he quickly shook off him, took a few steps back, and looked at them vigilantly.
"I won't hit you."
Seeing Li Huaicheng's subconscious defensive action, Li Huaijin thought that he flinched reflexively because of his previous experience, which made Li Huaijin's heart ache. His eyes swept over the other wounds on Li Huaicheng's body that were already faint, and his fingertips were so angry Trembling uncontrollably.
When watching TV before, Li Huaijin had seen these wounds from the photos taken by the doctor. Although he felt unbearable at the time, he didn’t feel real because he was separated from the TV. Later, Li Huaicheng was brought back by his parents. Some of them turned pale and didn't see any other problems, so he forgot about it.
But now, when he really saw these wounds on Li Huaicheng's body, he finally understood what kind of life his own brother lived in the Jiang family for 14 years.
Originally, he thought that his father's punishment to the Jiang family was enough, but now he felt that it was not enough to let Jiang Aiguo go to jail for 30 years, and then send some local hooligans to harass Wang Guihua, because they deserved what they deserved, and they didn't get the real punishment at all. punishment.
"Hit me?"
After hearing what Li Huaijin said clearly, Li Huaicheng was even more confused. His eyes moved to Li Huaijin's sad and angry expression, and a guess floated in his heart——
Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?
Li Huaicheng was so frightened by his guess that he took another two steps back. After rationally denying his guess, he turned to look at He Xiang. After finding that there was no difference between He Xiang's expression and Li Huaijin's expression, he licked his lips. mouth, telling himself that it was impossible while continuing to back away.
"Huaicheng...be careful!"
Li Huaijin saw that Li Huaicheng had retreated to the edge of the pool, and was about to fall into the pool, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled the slightly thinner Li Huaicheng into his arms.
Suddenly hugged by Li Huaijin, the guess just came to mind again, Li Huaicheng felt his scalp explode, he tried his best to push Li Huaijin away, Li Huaijin was worried that he would hurt Li Huaicheng and relaxed his strength, but the next second, Li Huaicheng Slipped and fell into the swimming pool.
With a plop, water splashed everywhere.
He Xiang quickly jumped down, this is a deep water area, Li Huaicheng can't swim at all.
Li Huaicheng struggled in the water, a lot of self-rescue knowledge about accidentally falling into the water emerged in his mind, and he adjusted his posture while telling himself to calm down.
However, as soon as Li Huaicheng moved, he felt cramping pain in his calf muscles. He opened his eyes and wanted to curl up to relieve his leg muscles. However, when he saw the blue swimming pool water, his limbs suddenly seemed to be pulled away. With all the strength, the water scrambled to squeeze in from the nostrils and mouth, and the bone-chilling feeling before death filled Li Huaicheng's body again.
Li Huaicheng struggled to float up, but he couldn't control his hands and feet at all. His head became dizzy, and the color of the pool water reflected by his retina gradually deepened. He seemed to have returned to the dark and turbid sea water again: the hands and feet were weak after being interrupted. Floating with the sea water, the muscles and bones of the whole body are uncontrollably stiff, several fatal wounds on the body have been soaked in sea water and become numb...
The swelling pain caused by the lack of oxygen seemed to be piercing through the skull. Li Huaicheng couldn't tell whether it was in the sea or in the swimming pool. He seemed to see someone swimming towards him in a trance, but the dull pain in his head made his consciousness gradually blurred. He closed his eyes and sank slowly, but his heart was peaceful.
No one will save him, so be it...
After He Xiang rescued Li Huaicheng, he quickly squeezed out the choked water for him, but the water coughed out, but Li Huaicheng showed no sign of soberness.
"Doctor, why is my brother still awake?"
Li Huaijin shook the doctor's hand very violently, completely unable to see the calmness beyond his age at all, and his face was at a loss.
The club doctor frowned and shook his head. "Your brother didn't stay in the swimming pool for long. Logically, he shouldn't have choked on the water and passed out. Moreover, after you rescued him, you did a good job of emergency measures. Normally, he should be awake now."
"Then why hasn't he woke up yet?" Li Huaijin's tone was almost questioning.
The doctor was stunned by Li Huaijin's question, and he was a little angry when he was questioned by the patient's family. However, although he was angry, he knew that people who could come to this kind of club and rent a private swimming pool were either rich or expensive , he absolutely can't afford to offend, not to mention the doctor's parents' heart, he can understand the panic of the young man in front of him.
"The equipment in the club is relatively complete. The result of our inspection is that your brother's body has no other problems other than malnutrition. It is very likely that he is unconscious now because of other reasons. Maybe he just fell asleep because he was too tired. gone."
After saying the last sentence, the doctor felt guilty. No one would wake up after falling asleep with such a loud movement, but according to his examination, there was indeed nothing wrong with the patient's body.
Seeing Li Huaijin's cold expression, the doctor added: "If you are worried, we can contact the ambulance and send him to the hospital for other doctors to take another look."
He Xiang, who had been standing by the side, came over and said, "Go and make arrangements." Then he winked at the doctor to signal him to leave first.
"Chengcheng will be fine." He Xiang patted Li Huaijin on the shoulder and said, "He was rescued in less than 2 minutes after falling into the water, and you saw him cough up all the water he choked in. There must be nothing wrong with him." thing."
Li Huaijin shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Can you help me go to the dressing room and get my clothes? My mobile phone is there. I need to call my parents."
Seeing Li Huaijin's face, why did he want to move his lips, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally just patted Li Huaijin's shoulder and turned to leave.
Li Huaicheng woke up and found that he was still a little dazed when he was in the hospital. After seeing Li Huaijin who pushed the door and entered, he belatedly recalled what happened in the swimming pool.
"Are you awake?" Li Huaijin walked over quickly, looked carefully at Li Huaicheng's face, and asked, "Is there any discomfort?"
Li Huaicheng shook his head, and glanced at Li Huaijin's face indistinctly, trying to judge something from his expression and tone.
Li Huaijin seems to be the same as usual, but he always has an indescribable strange feeling that Li Huaijin is a little different from before, but just like before, he can't tell exactly what is different about Li Huaijin.
Without noticing Li Huaicheng's gaze, Li Huaijin carefully observed his bloodless face, and said worriedly: "If you have any discomfort, you must tell me."
"I am fine."
Li Huaicheng smiled and asked tentatively, "Brother, why did you hug me suddenly when you were in the swimming pool?"
Li Huaijin was startled, Li Huaicheng's scarred body appeared in front of his eyes again, the tip of his nose was sore, he touched Li Huaicheng's head carefully, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I don't know that you have suffered so much in Jiang's house before. hurt."
Why did you suddenly talk about the Jiang family?Li Huaicheng was at a loss.
However, before Li Huaicheng could figure it out, Li Huaijin continued: "I will make the Jiang family members pay the price."
Li Huaijin's voice was cold, but he looked at Li Huaicheng with a gentle expression, "You don't have to be afraid, with my brother here, no one will dare to hurt you anymore."
Li Huaicheng's mind turned twice, and he reacted after connecting what Li Huaijin said with his previous actions, hesitantly said: "You looked at me like that when you came out of the locker room, because you saw the scar on my body?"
Li Huaijin's expression became more apologetic, he lowered his eyes and nodded, and said sorry again.
Only then did Li Huaicheng heave a sigh of relief. Thinking of his previous guesses, he thought he was very funny, so he couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Li Huaijin's expression was still apologetic, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, these wounds happened a long time ago."
However, Li Huaijin felt that Li Huaicheng was just trying to hide his sadness with a smile. Thinking of the scars on Li Huaicheng's body of different sizes and shapes, he suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and asked in a soft voice: "Why did Jiang Aiguo and Wang Guihua beat you? What hit you? And when I was watching the news, that Jiang Bao seemed to like to bully you, what did he do?"
Li Huaicheng: "..."
For Li Huaicheng, who was 27 years old in his last life, these scars are very far away, and he thinks that some scars on boys are not a big deal, but seeing Li Huaijin's persistent expression, he can only vaguely say: "When they are unhappy Generally, they hit me with whatever they picked up, but I forgot what it was.”
However, Li Huaijin was even more sad because of Li Huaicheng's indifferent attitude. How many times did he experience such beatings for no reason, and how desperate he was before, so that he could talk about it in such a calm tone.
"No one will dare to hurt you again—"
"Chengcheng!"
Li's mother's voice interrupted what Li Huaijin was about to say. She walked quickly to the hospital bed and sat down. She looked at Li Huaicheng's pale face with red eyes, and said distressedly: "How could you drown? You take your brother out, why don't you go out?" Didn't get a good look at him?"
The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Li Huaijin. Li's mother never blamed others casually, but when she saw her son, whom she finally lost and recovered, lying unconscious on the hospital bed, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"I'm sorry, Mom." Li Huaijin also felt that he was responsible for this matter, and apologized very sincerely.
"It's none of my business, it's my own carelessness."
Li Huaicheng really felt that it had nothing to do with Li Huaijin. If it wasn't for his own wild thinking, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. If he really wanted to say who was responsible, he could only blame himself. After all, even he didn't expect to die in the last life. The shadow brought to him is so great.
"It's my responsibility." Li Huaijin looked at Li Huaicheng with a serious expression, "You are my younger brother, taking you out to protect you is what I should do, and it is my dereliction of duty if you fall into the water."
"It really doesn't matter..."
Li Huaicheng wanted to explain again, but just as he opened his mouth, Li's father came in. His eyes swept over the people in the room, and when they fell on Li Huaicheng, his eyes softened a lot.
"Huaicheng, the doctor just said that you can leave the hospital when you wake up. Do you want to have a check-up at the hospital, or leave the hospital directly?"
"Get out of the hospital directly."
Li Huaicheng thought that if given a choice, most normal people would not want to stay in the hospital for too long.
Using his eyes to stop his wife who wanted Li Huaicheng to observe for a few days, Li's father took her hand and went through the discharge procedures together.
After arriving home, Li Huaicheng could only go back to the room to rest under the strong request of Li's mother, while Li's father called Li Huaijin to the study.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my brother today." Li Huaijin apologized as he entered the door.
Father Li rubbed his forehead, pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down first, you are indeed responsible for this matter, there can be no next time, but I called you in because I want to tell you another matter."
Li Huaijin sat down and waited for Father Li's next words.
"What do you think about leaving Li Huaikang in the Jiang family?"
Li Huaijin was taken aback when he heard the words, and answered irrelevantly: "Will mother agree?"
Father Li shook his head, sighed and said, "You also know your mother, she..."
Father Li's protracted tone showed his helplessness, but as a father, he didn't want to talk about his wife and children's mother in front of his son, so he simply said: "Your mother thinks things more simply, and is very It's easy to think in a better direction, but Li Huaikang's incident will cause endless troubles, we can't let him stay in Li's house."
"Then let's tell mom that the Jiang family won't let anyone go." After Li's father finished speaking, Li Huaijin had a plan in his mind, and he said, "In this way, mom won't force Li Huaikang to stay."
Hearing Li Huaijin's quick and decisive answer, Li's father was very surprised. As a father, he knew his son very well.
From a very young age, Li Huaijin showed a more calm and calm side than ordinary children, and what is very rare is that he is not only stable, but also has a long-term vision and precise judgment. He once thought that the eldest son would inherit the world in the future. Cloud Group will also be a qualified manager.
The only thing that Li's father is very worried about is probably influenced by Li's mother. Although Li Huaijin has precise judgment, he can't make a decisive decision. In many aspects, he is quite benevolent. Such a manager It may be possible to manage the group well, but it is difficult to lead the group to go further.
But now it seems that Li Huaijin is a little different.
"Are you going to use this excuse to lie to your mother?" Father Li asked in a deep voice, his complexion dark and unpredictable, as if he was angry.
However, Li Huaijin did not take back his proposal just because of Li's father's gloomy face. He analyzed very calmly: "This is not a deception. The Jiang family definitely wants to live with their son. The old saying goes, pity the parents of the world." Heart, in the past, the Jiang family even did such things as changing the bag in order to let their son live a good life. Now, because they are reluctant to part with their son, is it strange that they don’t want to be separated from him? We just put the Jiang family’s heart The deep choice is only told to the mother."
When he said these words, Li Huaijin's expression was calm and orderly, and there was no feeling for Li Huaikang, his younger brother who had lived together for more than ten years, in his tone, which surprised Li's father even more.
He was clear about Li Huaijin's feelings for Li Huaikang before. After all, the two had been together as brothers for 14 years. Before knowing this, Li Huaijin was considered a good brother who loved his siblings very much, so he decided to stay with Li Huaikang At that time, Li Huaijin silently said that he was on Li's mother's side, which was expected by Li's father.
Li Huaijin's decisive and cold appearance today is like a different person.
Father Li was puzzled and asked, "I remember you wanted Li Huaikang to stay before, why did you agree to send him away today?"
Hearing Father Li's question,
Wang Guihua couldn't believe that Li Huaikang was so indifferent and selfish. The surprise of seeing her son earlier disappeared at this moment. Seeing her little son lying on the ground covered in blood, she remembered that Li Huaikang had never Concealed disgust and disgust, Wang Guihua couldn't help crying.
Seeing Wang Guihua crying loudly, Li Huaikang's expression became even more impatient. He turned his head to look at the assistant, and said coldly, "What are you still doing, call an ambulance."
The assistant froze for two seconds before quickly nodded. He never expected that things would develop like this, let alone Li Huaikang kicked his younger brother to the ground, and now his life and death are still unknown.
The secretary dialed 120 very calmly, and when Wang Guihua was screaming, he pushed Wang Guihua away and said calmly: "Don't shake him, the child's head is injured, you will make his injury worse."
"My son... my son, is he..." Wang Guihua trembled, but she couldn't say that word.
"Just passed out, nothing happened."
The secretary knelt down to look at it and came to a conclusion, and then gave Jiang Bao emergency treatment.
Wang Guihua stood aside with her mouth covered, Jiang Bao's face was full of blood in her mind, she turned her eyes to Li Huaikang in a daze, and saw him standing aside with his chest folded, frowning impatiently and irrelevant, her eyes Instantly turned red.
"How can you be so cruel!" Wang Guihua strode forward, grabbed Li Huaikang's collar and asked, "That's your brother, that's your own brother! How could you go down, your brother was kicked by you Now lying there unconscious, you act like none of your business, you are still human! Ah? Do you still have a conscience?"
Li Huaikang frowned and shook off Wang Guihua's hand. He felt funny when he heard her words, took a step back and said coldly: "He's not my younger brother, my surname is Li, and you didn't have soft hands when you beat Li Huaicheng before, oh , you look like you don’t know who Li Huaicheng is? It’s Jiang Yuan who was abused by you before, let me tell you, what is Li Huaicheng’s position in your heart, and what is your son’s position in my heart, let me go.”
Wang Guihua only felt a humming in her head, and she fainted. Before she lost consciousness, there were only two words in her mind - retribution.
When Li Huaicheng opened the door, he saw Li's mother standing outside the door, ready to knock on the door. Seeing him open the door, he smiled and said, "There's a phone downstairs, I'm looking for you."
"Find me?"
Li Huaicheng was a little surprised, but nodded despite his doubts, "I see, thank you mom."
Hearing Li Huaicheng's polite thanks, Li's mother smiled slightly, and said softly: "Go down and answer the phone, don't make people wait for a long time."
As soon as he took two steps, Li Huaicheng guessed who was calling. After coming to Li's house, he only called Zhang Xing's family to report his safety, and no one else knew the phone number here.
"Hi, I'm Jiang Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan! I have big news for you!"
Sure enough, it was Zhang Xing, the smile on Li Huaicheng's face deepened a little, and his tone became casual.
"what news?"
"Guess what I'm going to say first!" Zhang Xing's voice was very excited, but he still wanted to show off: "You will never think of what I'm going to say! And it's absolutely amazing! After hearing it, I guarantee that you will be in such a good mood today!"
"You got promoted?" Li Huaicheng guessed without distraction.
"Why are you happy about my promotion?" Zhang Xing clicked his tongue, very dissatisfied with Li Huaicheng's perfunctory.
"Oh..." Li Huaicheng thought for a while, "Is it related to the Jiang family?"
"Smart!" Zhang Xing said triumphantly, "Uncle Xing, what I'm going to tell you is first-hand information. Now call uncle to uncle. I'll listen to it. Uncle will tell you as soon as he's happy."
Li Huaicheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said, "Whether you like to talk or not, I'll hang up if you don't."
"Would you respect the old, love the young, and respect the elders, kid?" Zhang Xing stopped being impatient after complaining, and a gloating laugh came, while laughing, he said, "Do you know that Wang Guihua and Jiang Bao were together yesterday?" Entering the hospital, one with blood on the face and one with a pale face and dying, they were all carried into the ambulance, you didn't see it, everyone in the community who heard the movement of the ambulance immediately went to join in the fun, That scene was spectacular. At that time, Wang Guihua and the others were accompanied by two men and a boy. I don’t know what they did in the past. They left with the ambulance. Now everyone in the community is guessing what happened last night. What, Zhao Tianguang, who lives across from your house, told us later, who do you think that man is? You can never guess..."
"Li Huaikang, the person who switched contracts with me back then." Li Huaicheng interrupted Zhang Xing lightly and asked, "Did I guess right?"
Over there, Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of annoyance, put away all the excitement in his voice, and carefully asked: "...how are you doing at your biological parents' house?"
Hearing Zhang Xing's concerned voice, Li Huaicheng's smile deepened, but his voice was very low: "That's it, is there anything else?"
"You...are you unhappy?" Zhang Xing's voice became more careful, "Actually, if you are unhappy, the bed in my room has not been put away, and you can come back anytime you want."
"Hahahahaha..." Li Huaicheng laughed out loud, "I lied to you, what kind of grievances can I suffer in my biological parents' house."
Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't believe it. He asked, "Are you unhappy and dare not say it? You and I don't have to do this. If you are unhappy, you can tell me, and..."
"Where did you hear that I'm not happy?" Li Huaicheng asked.
"You used to fake or sneer, but you laughed so loudly just now, I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard it."
The smile on Li Huaicheng's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up the phone. Help me and Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang speak."
"Don't!" Zhang Xing quickly stopped.
After hearing Li Huaicheng's clear but indifferent voice, Zhang Xing was sure that Li Huaicheng was doing well, he let go of his worries, his voice regained its vitality, and said, "There is something else I want to tell you. , Lei Lei came back two days ago. I heard that your biological parents left me a contact information after they brought you to Qingshi. They want me to tell you that if you have trouble or want to run away from home, you can find him. I will give him his number. Tell you."
When Li Huaicheng heard the words, he said grace, picked up the notebook next to the phone and wrote it down.
After reporting the phone number, Zhang Xing said: "But I told Lei Lei that even if you run away from home, you will come to find me and not him, so you can just check the number. If there is anything to do, of course you should call me, brother Xing."
Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and a shallow but warm smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He hummed lightly, but his voice was very cold: "Brother Xing, according to the degree of reliability, Lei Lei is more reliable than you. I still have to make up lessons, so I'll hang up first."
Hearing the busy beeping on the phone, Zhang Xing looked at the phone that showed the end of the conversation, and murmured to comfort himself: "The elder nephew has no conscience, and the elders don't care about him."
Putting down the phone in his hand, Li Huaicheng couldn't hold back a low smile. When he looked up, he saw Li Huaijin walking towards him. He was surprised for a moment and said, "Brother, do you want to call? I'm done."
Li Huaijin shook his head, "No, I just came to remind you that the teacher who will make up your lessons is here."
"That's it." A faint smile appeared on Li Huaicheng's face, "I'll go up, thank you for reminding me."
After finishing speaking, Li Huaicheng saw Li Huaijin standing there watching him motionless, and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
Li Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know what to say, and seeing Li Huaicheng's curious expression, he gave a temporary reason: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, why would you call me and ask me if I want to go swimming, so I'll ask Ask you, if you want to go, I will take you with me after class in the afternoon."
Li Huaicheng really thought about it when he heard the words. He has never swam in two lifetimes. It sounds interesting, and he hasn't been out much since he came to Li's house. It's not bad to go out for a walk.
"Okay." Li Huaicheng smiled and said, "If you don't mind the trouble, I want to go with you after class."
Li Huaijin frowned slightly, and said lightly: "No trouble."
Seeing Li Huaijin's frowning eyebrows, Li Huaicheng didn't think he was unhappy as before. Through this period of getting along, he found that the rumors about Li Huaijin in his previous life were still somewhat wrong. Li Huaijin did not have many facial expressions, but it was not all the time. With a cold face, it is only because he is more mature than his peers since he was a child, so he looks calm and calm.
Most of the time, as Li's mother said, he is just not good at expressing, just like frowning. Li Huaicheng found that Li Huaijin frowns most of the time because he is entangled or doesn't know what to say, not because he is really unhappy.
"Then I'll go to your room to find you after I finish class." Li Huaicheng smiled.
"Yes." Li Huaijin nodded, and suddenly thought: "You don't have swimming trunks?"
Li Huaicheng was taken aback by this question, he did not have swimming trunks.
"No."
Li Huaijin frowned again, and he pondered for a moment: "I'll take you to buy swimming trunks first, and then we'll meet He Xiang after shopping."
Li Huaicheng thought he couldn't go today, but he was a little surprised to hear Li Huaijin say that, he hesitated and said, "Will this delay the time of you and Brother Xiang, I will go next time."
"Don't delay, you go to class first, and I will find me in my room after class in the afternoon."
Back in the room, Li Huaijin closed the door and dialed He Xiang's number.
As soon as the phone was connected, He Xiang's laughing voice came over: "It's rare! Mr. Li actually has time to call the little one at this point. Did he miss me, brother, or did he finally want to come out to play?"
"Ah."
"Forget it, I know you must have something to look for—" He Xiang paused and repeated: "Yeah! You just said eh? Did you eh because you missed me or because you wanted to come out to play, no, you Is it Li Huaijin, you hum again, let me know if it's the real body!"
Li Huaijin twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "I have something to do with you."
He Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew you had something to do with me, what are you, you scared me to death just now."
"Because what I want to say is to ask you to go out to play." Li Huaijin didn't seem to hear He Xiang's yelling over there, and his speech was as steady as a report at a meeting: "At six o'clock in the afternoon, I will Take my brother out to the newly opened swimming club you mentioned last time, and we will meet there."
"Your brother? Which brother? Li Huaikang or Li Huaicheng..." In the middle of speaking, He Xiang remembered Li Huaikang's going to Shashi, and said, "You mean you brought Li Huaicheng out? Yes, I just like it. His, and the most important thing is that meeting him is like seeing a smaller version of you, which is very interesting."
"En." Li Huaijin asked, "Do you know where there are swimming trunks for sale, suitable for teenagers?"
"Swimming trunks?" He Xiang asked puzzled, "Didn't I just give you a pack last time? They are all the latest models this year, so you can just wear those."
"I bought it for Huaicheng."
"Well, you go to Hai Rui. It's your uncle's property. There is an area on the seventh floor that sells swimsuits. The styles there are all new and professional."
"Well, thank you."
Hang up the phone, He Xiang thought about it.
Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Li Huaicheng has become so important in Li Huaijin's heart. Even when talking about Li Huaikang before, Li Huaijin never said the word "my brother" so intimately, at most he called him "Huaikang" ...
But who cares, as long as Li Huaijin is happy, why don't you want to put this problem aside, climb out of bed and go to the bathroom humming a song.
dong dong dong-
Almost at the same time as the knock on the door, Li Huaijin opened the door.
Li Huaicheng was still raising his hand, he didn't expect Li Huaijin to open the door so fast, he was stunned for two seconds before putting down his hand and said: "Brother, I'm done."
"Then let's go."
Li Huaijin came out and closed the door, rubbing Li Huaicheng's head very naturally.
Sitting in Li Huaijin's car, Li Huaicheng always felt that there was something wrong with Li Huaijin's writing today, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Huaijin who was driving like a car from the corner of his eye. It's no different, Li Huaicheng looked away, thinking that he might be thinking too much.
This was Li Huaicheng's first time in a car driven by Li Huaijin, but he felt unexpectedly safe, because Li Huaijin's driving style was the same as his own, very calm.
After arriving at Hairui Plaza, Li Huaijin took Li Huaicheng straight to the seventh floor.
Neither of them like to go shopping. After Li Huaicheng tried the swimming trunks recommended by the salesperson and found that the size was suitable, Li Huaijin bought the order directly.
When Li Huaijin and his brothers arrived at the swimming club, He Xiang was already waiting there.
He greeted Li Huaicheng and walked to the middle of Li Huaicheng and Li Huaijin in a very familiar way, and smiled and put his arms around their shoulders, then turned to Li Huaicheng and asked, "Chengcheng, have you ever swam before? How was it?"
Li Huaicheng glanced at the hand that could easily rest on his shoulder, shook his head and said, "I haven't swam."
He Xiang rubbed Li Huaicheng's head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's okay, your brother doesn't know how to swim, every time he splashes by the water for a long time, it's very funny, you don't know, before he was in junior high school, whenever he swam, he had to hug him." A swimming ring. After junior high school, I feel embarrassed and don’t need a swimming ring. But I only dare to splash in the shallow water. Basically, he doesn’t want to come to the swimming pool except for swimming lessons. Every time I ask him to come out to swim, he doesn’t come. Today He suddenly said that he would take you with him..."
"Cough-cough-"
Li Huaijin turned his head away, clenched his fists to his lips, his throat seemed to be very uncomfortable, he coughed for a long time before he stopped, his eyes were red.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"Cough, cough, it's okay..." Li Huaijin coughed and shook his head, as if saying two words could hardly suppress the itching in his throat, so he began to cough.
"Did you catch a cold, or we..."
"It's okay, he just feels uncomfortable when he sees the swimming pool, so don't bother him." He Xiang raised an eyebrow at Li Huaijin, smiled and said to Li Huaicheng: "Let's warm up first, and then change into our swimming trunks after warming up."
Li Huaicheng didn't expect He Xiang's warm-up to be very professional. After doing a set of stretching exercises, he felt his whole body warmed up, and the joints and ligaments were stretched.
After warming up, take a shower to adjust to the water temperature before swimming. It just so happens that each locker room in the club has its own shower.
Just as Li Huaicheng left, Li Huaijin and He Xiang also left the locker room.
"I just said why do you want to swim, so it's for Chengcheng." He Xiang joked with a smile, "The acting skills are good, and it's okay to change careers to be an actor in the future. My brother looks like this, and there are countless people standing in front of the camera. Female fans screaming."
"He is very obedient and sensible." Li Huaijin ignored He Xiang's last sentence and said calmly.
"Indeed." He Xiang smiled slightly, threw the swimming cap in his hand on the stool casually, and said, "I really like Chengcheng, you should treat him better."
Li Huaijin: "He is my younger brother, so I will naturally treat him well. No matter how much you like him, he is not your younger brother."
He Xiang: ...
"Yes." He Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, but as your best friend, in order to prevent you from regretting it later, I still want to remind you that your real brother and fake brother must be clearly distinguished. , even if you have feelings, if you are not kissing, you are not kissing after all, so whether it is psychological or action, you'd better have a clear expression."
Li Huaijin paused, his face was thoughtful, and he said after a few seconds: "I know."
Li Huaicheng was standing by the pool, when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head and waved to Li Huaikang and He Xiang.
Li Huaijin and He Xiang came talking and laughing, and when they saw Li Huaicheng waving, they also raised their hands and waved at him, but before they put down their hands, they suddenly stopped, and the smiles on their faces disappeared little by little.
The eyes of the two fell on the boy's white back at the same time. There were many large and small wounds on the boy's back, the most obvious of which was the light pink scar that was nearly ten centimeters from the shoulder blade to the spine, probably just healed. After a while, he could still faintly see the traces of the stitches, which looked particularly hideous on his fair skin.
Li Huaicheng saw that Li Huaijin and He Xiang were still waving at him one second, but suddenly stopped and stared at him with a very strange expression in the next second.
Under the eyes of the two, Li Huaicheng looked down at himself suspiciously, wondering if there was something strange about his body or face, but after looking at it, there was nothing wrong. It suddenly appeared that he had seen horror movies about swimming pools, and at that moment, he felt as if the temperature around him had dropped by two degrees.
Li Huaicheng's body stiffened. In the past, he was neither afraid nor believed in these things, but this incident of rebirth taught him a vivid lesson, making him clearly realize that there are many things in this world that he has never seen, but are not familiar with. Represents the unknown that does not exist.
The picture in his mind became more and more terrifying. Li Huaicheng felt his hairs stand on end. He quickly got up and walked towards them, asking, "Brother, Brother Xiang, what are you looking at?"
Li Huaicheng's voice brought Li Huaijin and He Xiang back to their senses. As Li Huaicheng approached, Li Huaijin found that there were many scars not only on his back, but also on his arms. The most obvious one was like a burn. He reached out and grabbed it. Li Huaicheng's hand, wanting to see if there were any other wounds on his body.
However, Li Huaicheng was taken aback by Li Huaijin's unusual expression and sudden movements. With a shaking hand, he quickly shook off him, took a few steps back, and looked at them vigilantly.
"I won't hit you."
Seeing Li Huaicheng's subconscious defensive action, Li Huaijin thought that he flinched reflexively because of his previous experience, which made Li Huaijin's heart ache. His eyes swept over the other wounds on Li Huaicheng's body that were already faint, and his fingertips were so angry Trembling uncontrollably.
When watching TV before, Li Huaijin had seen these wounds from the photos taken by the doctor. Although he felt unbearable at the time, he didn’t feel real because he was separated from the TV. Later, Li Huaicheng was brought back by his parents. Some of them turned pale and didn't see any other problems, so he forgot about it.
But now, when he really saw these wounds on Li Huaicheng's body, he finally understood what kind of life his own brother lived in the Jiang family for 14 years.
Originally, he thought that his father's punishment to the Jiang family was enough, but now he felt that it was not enough to let Jiang Aiguo go to jail for 30 years, and then send some local hooligans to harass Wang Guihua, because they deserved what they deserved, and they didn't get the real punishment at all. punishment.
"Hit me?"
After hearing what Li Huaijin said clearly, Li Huaicheng was even more confused. His eyes moved to Li Huaijin's sad and angry expression, and a guess floated in his heart——
Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?
Li Huaicheng was so frightened by his guess that he took another two steps back. After rationally denying his guess, he turned to look at He Xiang. After finding that there was no difference between He Xiang's expression and Li Huaijin's expression, he licked his lips. mouth, telling himself that it was impossible while continuing to back away.
"Huaicheng...be careful!"
Li Huaijin saw that Li Huaicheng had retreated to the edge of the pool, and was about to fall into the pool, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled the slightly thinner Li Huaicheng into his arms.
Suddenly hugged by Li Huaijin, the guess just came to mind again, Li Huaicheng felt his scalp explode, he tried his best to push Li Huaijin away, Li Huaijin was worried that he would hurt Li Huaicheng and relaxed his strength, but the next second, Li Huaicheng Slipped and fell into the swimming pool.
With a plop, water splashed everywhere.
He Xiang quickly jumped down, this is a deep water area, Li Huaicheng can't swim at all.
Li Huaicheng struggled in the water, a lot of self-rescue knowledge about accidentally falling into the water emerged in his mind, and he adjusted his posture while telling himself to calm down.
However, as soon as Li Huaicheng moved, he felt cramping pain in his calf muscles. He opened his eyes and wanted to curl up to relieve his leg muscles. However, when he saw the blue swimming pool water, his limbs suddenly seemed to be pulled away. With all the strength, the water scrambled to squeeze in from the nostrils and mouth, and the bone-chilling feeling before death filled Li Huaicheng's body again.
Li Huaicheng struggled to float up, but he couldn't control his hands and feet at all. His head became dizzy, and the color of the pool water reflected by his retina gradually deepened. He seemed to have returned to the dark and turbid sea water again: the hands and feet were weak after being interrupted. Floating with the sea water, the muscles and bones of the whole body are uncontrollably stiff, several fatal wounds on the body have been soaked in sea water and become numb...
The swelling pain caused by the lack of oxygen seemed to be piercing through the skull. Li Huaicheng couldn't tell whether it was in the sea or in the swimming pool. He seemed to see someone swimming towards him in a trance, but the dull pain in his head made his consciousness gradually blurred. He closed his eyes and sank slowly, but his heart was peaceful.
No one will save him, so be it...
After He Xiang rescued Li Huaicheng, he quickly squeezed out the choked water for him, but the water coughed out, but Li Huaicheng showed no sign of soberness.
"Doctor, why is my brother still awake?"
Li Huaijin shook the doctor's hand very violently, completely unable to see the calmness beyond his age at all, and his face was at a loss.
The club doctor frowned and shook his head. "Your brother didn't stay in the swimming pool for long. Logically, he shouldn't have choked on the water and passed out. Moreover, after you rescued him, you did a good job of emergency measures. Normally, he should be awake now."
"Then why hasn't he woke up yet?" Li Huaijin's tone was almost questioning.
The doctor was stunned by Li Huaijin's question, and he was a little angry when he was questioned by the patient's family. However, although he was angry, he knew that people who could come to this kind of club and rent a private swimming pool were either rich or expensive , he absolutely can't afford to offend, not to mention the doctor's parents' heart, he can understand the panic of the young man in front of him.
"The equipment in the club is relatively complete. The result of our inspection is that your brother's body has no other problems other than malnutrition. It is very likely that he is unconscious now because of other reasons. Maybe he just fell asleep because he was too tired. gone."
After saying the last sentence, the doctor felt guilty. No one would wake up after falling asleep with such a loud movement, but according to his examination, there was indeed nothing wrong with the patient's body.
Seeing Li Huaijin's cold expression, the doctor added: "If you are worried, we can contact the ambulance and send him to the hospital for other doctors to take another look."
He Xiang, who had been standing by the side, came over and said, "Go and make arrangements." Then he winked at the doctor to signal him to leave first.
"Chengcheng will be fine." He Xiang patted Li Huaijin on the shoulder and said, "He was rescued in less than 2 minutes after falling into the water, and you saw him cough up all the water he choked in. There must be nothing wrong with him." thing."
Li Huaijin shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Can you help me go to the dressing room and get my clothes? My mobile phone is there. I need to call my parents."
Seeing Li Huaijin's face, why did he want to move his lips, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally just patted Li Huaijin's shoulder and turned to leave.
Li Huaicheng woke up and found that he was still a little dazed when he was in the hospital. After seeing Li Huaijin who pushed the door and entered, he belatedly recalled what happened in the swimming pool.
"Are you awake?" Li Huaijin walked over quickly, looked carefully at Li Huaicheng's face, and asked, "Is there any discomfort?"
Li Huaicheng shook his head, and glanced at Li Huaijin's face indistinctly, trying to judge something from his expression and tone.
Li Huaijin seems to be the same as usual, but he always has an indescribable strange feeling that Li Huaijin is a little different from before, but just like before, he can't tell exactly what is different about Li Huaijin.
Without noticing Li Huaicheng's gaze, Li Huaijin carefully observed his bloodless face, and said worriedly: "If you have any discomfort, you must tell me."
"I am fine."
Li Huaicheng smiled and asked tentatively, "Brother, why did you hug me suddenly when you were in the swimming pool?"
Li Huaijin was startled, Li Huaicheng's scarred body appeared in front of his eyes again, the tip of his nose was sore, he touched Li Huaicheng's head carefully, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I don't know that you have suffered so much in Jiang's house before. hurt."
Why did you suddenly talk about the Jiang family?Li Huaicheng was at a loss.
However, before Li Huaicheng could figure it out, Li Huaijin continued: "I will make the Jiang family members pay the price."
Li Huaijin's voice was cold, but he looked at Li Huaicheng with a gentle expression, "You don't have to be afraid, with my brother here, no one will dare to hurt you anymore."
Li Huaicheng's mind turned twice, and he reacted after connecting what Li Huaijin said with his previous actions, hesitantly said: "You looked at me like that when you came out of the locker room, because you saw the scar on my body?"
Li Huaijin's expression became more apologetic, he lowered his eyes and nodded, and said sorry again.
Only then did Li Huaicheng heave a sigh of relief. Thinking of his previous guesses, he thought he was very funny, so he couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Li Huaijin's expression was still apologetic, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, these wounds happened a long time ago."
However, Li Huaijin felt that Li Huaicheng was just trying to hide his sadness with a smile. Thinking of the scars on Li Huaicheng's body of different sizes and shapes, he suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and asked in a soft voice: "Why did Jiang Aiguo and Wang Guihua beat you? What hit you? And when I was watching the news, that Jiang Bao seemed to like to bully you, what did he do?"
Li Huaicheng: "..."
For Li Huaicheng, who was 27 years old in his last life, these scars are very far away, and he thinks that some scars on boys are not a big deal, but seeing Li Huaijin's persistent expression, he can only vaguely say: "When they are unhappy Generally, they hit me with whatever they picked up, but I forgot what it was.”
However, Li Huaijin was even more sad because of Li Huaicheng's indifferent attitude. How many times did he experience such beatings for no reason, and how desperate he was before, so that he could talk about it in such a calm tone.
"No one will dare to hurt you again—"
"Chengcheng!"
Li's mother's voice interrupted what Li Huaijin was about to say. She walked quickly to the hospital bed and sat down. She looked at Li Huaicheng's pale face with red eyes, and said distressedly: "How could you drown? You take your brother out, why don't you go out?" Didn't get a good look at him?"
The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Li Huaijin. Li's mother never blamed others casually, but when she saw her son, whom she finally lost and recovered, lying unconscious on the hospital bed, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"I'm sorry, Mom." Li Huaijin also felt that he was responsible for this matter, and apologized very sincerely.
"It's none of my business, it's my own carelessness."
Li Huaicheng really felt that it had nothing to do with Li Huaijin. If it wasn't for his own wild thinking, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. If he really wanted to say who was responsible, he could only blame himself. After all, even he didn't expect to die in the last life. The shadow brought to him is so great.
"It's my responsibility." Li Huaijin looked at Li Huaicheng with a serious expression, "You are my younger brother, taking you out to protect you is what I should do, and it is my dereliction of duty if you fall into the water."
"It really doesn't matter..."
Li Huaicheng wanted to explain again, but just as he opened his mouth, Li's father came in. His eyes swept over the people in the room, and when they fell on Li Huaicheng, his eyes softened a lot.
"Huaicheng, the doctor just said that you can leave the hospital when you wake up. Do you want to have a check-up at the hospital, or leave the hospital directly?"
"Get out of the hospital directly."
Li Huaicheng thought that if given a choice, most normal people would not want to stay in the hospital for too long.
Using his eyes to stop his wife who wanted Li Huaicheng to observe for a few days, Li's father took her hand and went through the discharge procedures together.
After arriving home, Li Huaicheng could only go back to the room to rest under the strong request of Li's mother, while Li's father called Li Huaijin to the study.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my brother today." Li Huaijin apologized as he entered the door.
Father Li rubbed his forehead, pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down first, you are indeed responsible for this matter, there can be no next time, but I called you in because I want to tell you another matter."
Li Huaijin sat down and waited for Father Li's next words.
"What do you think about leaving Li Huaikang in the Jiang family?"
Li Huaijin was taken aback when he heard the words, and answered irrelevantly: "Will mother agree?"
Father Li shook his head, sighed and said, "You also know your mother, she..."
Father Li's protracted tone showed his helplessness, but as a father, he didn't want to talk about his wife and children's mother in front of his son, so he simply said: "Your mother thinks things more simply, and is very It's easy to think in a better direction, but Li Huaikang's incident will cause endless troubles, we can't let him stay in Li's house."
"Then let's tell mom that the Jiang family won't let anyone go." After Li's father finished speaking, Li Huaijin had a plan in his mind, and he said, "In this way, mom won't force Li Huaikang to stay."
Hearing Li Huaijin's quick and decisive answer, Li's father was very surprised. As a father, he knew his son very well.
From a very young age, Li Huaijin showed a more calm and calm side than ordinary children, and what is very rare is that he is not only stable, but also has a long-term vision and precise judgment. He once thought that the eldest son would inherit the world in the future. Cloud Group will also be a qualified manager.
The only thing that Li's father is very worried about is probably influenced by Li's mother. Although Li Huaijin has precise judgment, he can't make a decisive decision. In many aspects, he is quite benevolent. Such a manager It may be possible to manage the group well, but it is difficult to lead the group to go further.
But now it seems that Li Huaijin is a little different.
"Are you going to use this excuse to lie to your mother?" Father Li asked in a deep voice, his complexion dark and unpredictable, as if he was angry.
However, Li Huaijin did not take back his proposal just because of Li's father's gloomy face. He analyzed very calmly: "This is not a deception. The Jiang family definitely wants to live with their son. The old saying goes, pity the parents of the world." Heart, in the past, the Jiang family even did such things as changing the bag in order to let their son live a good life. Now, because they are reluctant to part with their son, is it strange that they don’t want to be separated from him? We just put the Jiang family’s heart The deep choice is only told to the mother."
When he said these words, Li Huaijin's expression was calm and orderly, and there was no feeling for Li Huaikang, his younger brother who had lived together for more than ten years, in his tone, which surprised Li's father even more.
He was clear about Li Huaijin's feelings for Li Huaikang before. After all, the two had been together as brothers for 14 years. Before knowing this, Li Huaijin was considered a good brother who loved his siblings very much, so he decided to stay with Li Huaikang At that time, Li Huaijin silently said that he was on Li's mother's side, which was expected by Li's father.
Li Huaijin's decisive and cold appearance today is like a different person.
Father Li was puzzled and asked, "I remember you wanted Li Huaikang to stay before, why did you agree to send him away today?"
Hearing Father Li's question,
