born stubborn

The students from Class 7 of the United States who participated in the training camp in other colleges and universities had not yet arrived. Li Xinze, the head teacher, gave the students who came back first a day of free time.

On this day, they can choose to practice their works in the studio, or they can choose to go home and rest.

Yuan Yang and Liang Yue originally planned to stay in the studio for a day to consolidate what they had learned in the intensive training class.

However, the arrival of a text message made Yuan Yang unable to stay any longer.

[Lack of money? ]

Mom's three-character message was as unemotional as ever.

Yuan Yang's mood suddenly fell into irritability and restlessness, and he was so oppressed that he couldn't draw a single stroke.

He remembered that before he went to the training class, Xia Weichu said that his brother Yuan Tao hadn't been home for a long time, and his mother was looking for him every day with Yuan Tao's child in her arms.

You don't need to make up your mind to imagine how irritating that scene is. If Yuan Yang can stay in peace any longer, it's not Yuan Yang.

"Liang Yue, I'll take a day off." Yuan Yang got up suddenly and started to pack the painting tools.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue looked at him wonderingly, the decision he had just made suddenly changed, something must have happened to Yuan Yang, "What happened?"

"I'll go back to my hometown." Yuan Yang pressed Liang Yue's shoulder, "You wait for me, I will try to come back at night."

After coming out of the studio, Liang Yue chased after him as soon as he reached the stairs.

"Yuan Yang, I'd better go with you, anyway, I'm not used to being alone."

Yuan Yang looked at Liang Yue for a while, then nodded silently.

He didn't want Liang Yue to go back with him, after all, his hometown was the source of trouble for him, and he didn't want Liang Yue to be involved.

But there is a kind of loneliness in his heart, home and his current life are opposites of two different emotions.

He was afraid of diving headfirst into the negativity, the uncomfortable feeling of not being able to see the sun.

Now that Liang Yue, the walking healer, followed him, he felt a little more at ease.

I bought two tickets, and Liang Yue sat beside him, but Yuan Yang still couldn't drive away all the anxiety.

It's been a long time since I went back. That small city should still be the same, right?

There is also the old street that is about to be demolished, and the spacious but empty home with a single family courtyard.

Yuan Yang sat by the window, looking out the window thoughtfully.

Something flew past outside the window, all of which were out of his focus.

Liang Yue didn't speak at first, Yuan Yang's occasional indifference should be his bottom line, Liang Yue never took the initiative to ask.

But now, he doesn't want Yuan Yang to be troubled by these emotions again, if possible, it's best never to.

"Yuan Yang?" Liang Yue grabbed Yuan Yang's hand, and it took a lot of effort to divert Yuan Yang's attention.

"Huh?" Yuan Yang looked at Liang Yue in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yue smiled and shook his head, his eyes filled with warmth.

"Yuan Yang, we both have things we want to escape but can't escape, so I want you to promise me one thing."

"You're showing off your philosophy again," Yuan Yang smiled indifferently, "Liang Yue, you can just speak up if you have something to say, if it's too devious, I have to think hard."

Liang Yue raised his eyebrows, leaned back on his seat, pulled Yuan Yang's hand over and rubbed it on his leg.

"I mean, in the future, we will no longer divide yours and mine. Shouldn't the two of us face our difficulties together?"

Yuan Yang froze for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

Lonely disappeared because of Liang Yue's words, and the troubles of one person became the difficulties faced by two people.

Having a boyfriend turned out to be so wonderful.

The two of them each carry a beam from one end, which is indeed much easier than one person.

The old street that is about to be demolished is still the same, with red and white circles painted on the walls of shops and residents along the street.

Yuan Yang and Liang Yue walked side by side towards the door of the house.

On the corner of the street, the owner of a delicatessen shop set up a stall outside, and beside him stood a neighbor's aunt who was buying cooked food.

"Slice the pig's ears into shreds." The neighbor's aunt told the little boss, and raised her eyes to see two handsome boys in high school uniforms walking towards this side, squinting her eyes curiously.

After recognizing that one of them was Yuan Yang, the neighbor's aunt whispered to the little boss who was cutting pig ears for him: "Hey, look, Yuan Wenqian's second child is back."

The little boss immediately stopped his knife, looked up at Yuan Yang and the others, and frowned.

"It's not unusual for the second child to come back, it's only strange for the eldest brother to come back."

The neighbor's aunt cut out, "You don't know, this second child hasn't been back for half a year. I didn't expect to grow so tall, so energetic."

The little boss simply put the knife on the case, wiped his hands with a rag, and looked carefully at Yuan Yang and Liang Yue while leaning on the cooked food stall.

"It's true, it's much more decent than that boss."

The neighbor's aunt shook her head and clicked her tongue, "Look at it, it must be a lot of fun when the boss is at home, and the two brothers may have to fight again. It's really a crime."

The little boss snorted twice, "Hit it, no one will feel sorry for killing that white-eyed wolf."

When Yuan Yang walked in front of them, the aunt and the little boss in the neighborhood had already shut up, with a homely smile on their faces, they kept looking at Yuan Yang, and by the way, they also paid attention to Liang Yue.

"Hey, Yangyang is back?" The neighbor's aunt first greeted with a smile.

"Auntie, I'll come back and have a look." Yuan Yang politely waved to the neighbor's aunt.

"Oh, hurry back and have a look, your mother has been..."

Before the neighbor's aunt finished speaking, the little boss quickly touched her arm, and answered her words: "Yangyang, come back and spend time with your mother."

Yuan Yang smiled at them and said nothing else.

He didn't have anything to say, the affairs of their family, not to mention the neighbors, the residents on the whole street knew everything about it.

It's not because his father is gone, but because of his prodigal and addicted brother.

There is no family that has not been cheated of money by his elder brother Yuan Tao.

"Yuan Yang, your family is considered a wealthy family in this area, right?"

Liang Yue looked at the grand gate and spacious courtyard of Yuanyang's family in amazement.

He had never lived in this kind of compound, and he had been locked up in that living prison-style home since he could remember.

Now seeing this kind of residence where you can have fun in the yard, I have an indescribable liking in my heart.

Yuan Yang snorted with a cold face: "There's nothing good, it's empty."

The once wealthy family can only be described as down and out. Just looking at the fallen leaves and grass clippings that have not been cleaned for a long time in the corner of the yard, Yuan Yang is not happy, let alone the paint on the gate and those bald spots. wall covering.

Liang Yue didn't answer, he didn't know which sentence to say would make Yuan Yang happy, or which sentence would make Yuan Yang uncomfortable, so he just shut up and followed Yuan Yang into the courtyard.

The two of them didn't take a few steps in when they heard a mess of arguing.

There were women and men, and there were intermittent crying of babies.

"Yuan Tao, fuck me. Your mother, your mother forced you to hit me! Divorce! Divorce..."

This thin, weeping female voice is relatively young.

"Yuan Tao, you bastard! You're so mad that I'll forget it..."

This female voice has obviously experienced a lot of vicissitudes.

"What the hell are you two old ladies doing? Don't drag me, let me go!" The male voice was very rude.

"Wow..." The child's cry seemed to be dying.

The whole family is actually there. I didn't expect to come back suddenly for such a day, and they will catch up with an unexpected reunion!

After Yuan Yang heard these quarreling sounds, his anger immediately surged all over his body.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and ran towards the house.

"Yuan Yang!" Liang Yue didn't hold him back, but hurriedly followed him and ran in.

The sister-in-law was sitting on the ground near the door with her legs stretched out, her back leaning against the wall.

A child who looked like a purple eggplant was crying with his face between his arms, and the other arm was wiping tears and snot all over his face.

And Yuan Yang's mother, Xia Weiyang, is engaged in a fierce tearing battle with her eldest son, Yuan Tao.

It seemed that Yuan Tao wanted to run away, but his mother was holding her tightly.

Xia Weiyang's hand pinching Yuan Tao's arm, the knuckles were all white, it can be seen how much effort she put in, gnashing her teeth.

Yuan Tao didn't pay attention to her painstaking efforts, and resisted with the other arm.

Yuan Yang stepped into the door, his eyes couldn't help showing a cold light, and his expression was extremely cold.

Liang Yue was quite frightened, even when Yuan Yang beat up the young people in society, he never showed such a frightening expression.

"Fuck, let go!"

Yuan Yang roared angrily, rushed forward to tear Xia Weiyang away, and swung his elbow at Yuan Tao viciously.

With a muffled bang, Yuan Tao was swung against the wall like a salted fish.

"Yuanyang?!" There was a scream in the room, except for the child who knew nothing, who was still howling like dying.

Yuan Yang stood in the middle of the room, staring at Yuan Tao who grinned and pulled himself out from the wall, his face was as cold as the frost in the middle of winter.

"Yuan Yang, fuck you!"

Yuan Tao didn't finish cursing, probably he hasn't seen his younger brother for a long time, and he still couldn't cuss out his words suddenly.

He held it back for a long time, then suddenly jumped to the corner in despair, picked up a sweeping broom, and rushed towards Yuanyang.

Yuan Yang didn't even hide, he still stood there and stared at Yuan Tao with a cold face.

Yuan Tao held his broom and rushed to Yuan Yang who was a head taller than him, and swung it on Yuan Yang's forehead with round eyes.

Yuan Yang raised his leg mercilessly, and kicked him back to the corner of the wall.

This kick was a bit harsh, Yuan Tao groaned and rolled in the corner of the wall.

When he got up again, the leg kicked by Yuan Yang was a little limp.

"Mom forced Yuan Yang to wait for me!"

Yuan Tao cursed and limped into another room, not knowing what to look for.

"Yuan Yang, why are you back?"

Xia Weiyang only started talking to Yuan Yang at this time, while she was asking, she rushed over, grabbed Yuan Yang's sleeve and dragged him out.

"Go back, hurry back to school!"

"I'm not leaving!" Yuan Yang poked at the spot vigorously, looking at Xia Weiyang motionlessly.

There was a bruise on Xia Weiyang's face, and a big lump swelled up on the back of the hand that was holding Yuan Yang.

It must have been beaten by Yuan Tao when he was torn up with Yuan Tao before.

Yuan Yang frowned, but he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and his mother was haggard like a day lily.

The dry hair is very messy, and the fine folds on the face are getting deeper and deeper.

Those eyes, which were incomparably similar to Yuan Yang's, sunken deeply into the blackened eye sockets.

Yuan Yang looked at Xia Weiyang's appearance for a long time, and suddenly yelled with red eyes, "I will never leave again!"

"You want me to die!" Xia Weiyang yelled at him with a broken voice: "Who else can I count on! Who else can I count on!"

Listening to their conversation, the sister-in-law next to her suddenly burst into tears, making long, high and low tones like singing.

"You are biased, you can't live through this day, hey divorce..."

"Li!" Xia Weiyang gritted her teeth and turned her head, pointing at the crying sister-in-law, trembling with anger.

"When Yuan Tao comes back, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to leave with you!"

Liang Yue couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only poke aside.

He couldn't understand how chaotic Yuan Yang's house was, but he could feel it.

Although it was more lively than his family, it was a mess.

"Go, call Yuan Tao over, leave now, I don't want to stay in your Yuan family for a day!"

When the sister-in-law heard her mother-in-law turned against her, she got up from the ground, pointed at Yuan Yang and shouted loudly.

Yuan Yang glanced at her coldly, and the anger in his heart became more and more raging.

This sister-in-law is also very naive, but Yuan Yang can't do anything to her.

When the sister-in-law saw that Yuan Yang ignored her, she got even more excited.

He wanted to akimbo, but there was a child on his arm and he couldn't do it. Seeing someone standing beside him, he pushed the child over without hesitation, and then jumped up to Yuan Yang and Xia Weiyang, hopping and shouting: "Fuck you all! Bully me, bully me! There is not a single good person in your Yuan family!"

Liang Yue, who had never held a child before, was suddenly stuffed into a soft ball in his arms, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged him firmly.

I carefully looked at which side was the head and which side was the foot, for fear that I would hold it upside down.

The little guy howled dryly with his little red mouth open, his voice was rough, and he sounded like a boy.

Liang Yue suddenly felt very distressed. Looking at the tense atmosphere in the room, he frowned helplessly and left the room with the child in his arms.

The courtyard is quiet, the children are innocent, and there is no point in suffering with a group of ignorant adults.

Miraculously, Liang Yue carried the child to the courtyard for a while, and the little guy stopped crying. He opened his big swollen eyes, looked at Liang Yue curiously, and stretched out a tender little hand to grab the baby. He grabbed Liang Yue's clothes.

Liang Yue suddenly wanted to feed him a bag of milk, this little guy looked a bit like Yuan Yang, Liang Yue subconsciously made his brain into Yuan Yang's baby version.

Yuan Tao sneaked out from the window of a room. He couldn't beat Yuan Yang, so he wanted to run away, but as soon as he jumped into the courtyard, he saw Liang Yue.

Liang Yue looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Yuan Tao quickly brushed against the base of the wall and tiptoed out for a certain distance, then ran towards the gate.

"Yuan Tao! Fuck!" Yuan Yang saw it through the window, jumped out of the room, and ran after him.

"Yuan Yang!" Liang Yue didn't stop him, seeing Yuan Yang chasing him out of the courtyard, Liang Yue also ran out with the child in his arms.

The irritable Xia Weiyang and the crying sister-in-law also ran out and stood at the gate to watch.

The shadows of Yuan Tao and Yuan Yang had long disappeared on the street, only Liang Yue was standing at a fork in the road with the child in his arms, not knowing which way to chase.

"I can't get over it, divorce..." my sister-in-law yelled and ran off to another road without a trace.

Xia Weiyang trembled twice, her face suddenly turned pale, she leaned on the wall of the gate, and slowly slid on the ground.

Liang Yue looked back and ran back to the door, clamped the child tightly with one hand, and helped Xia Weiyang who was sitting by the wall with the other, and helped her back into the house.

Liang Yue put the child on the head of the bed, and helped Xia Weiyang who was half paralyzed to sit on the chair.

"Auntie? Auntie, are you okay?" Liang Yue had never encountered such a situation, and he was afraid that Xia Weiyang would get sick from anger.

Xia Weiyang let out a long breath of resentment that had been stagnant for too long, with tears in her eyes, she leaned her head back on the chair, and howled feebly: "Wen Qian, take me away!"

Liang Yue poured a glass of water, helped Xia Weiyang to feed her slowly, and breathed with his hands behind her back.

"Auntie, don't worry, Yuan Yang will take care of it."

Xia Weiyang drank a few sips of water, her face finally eased, she slowly turned her head to look at Liang Yue for a while, tears finally flowed down her face uncontrollably.

"Aren't you my son?"

"I am!" Liang Yue didn't know why, seeing Xia Weiyang's haggard look, felt sour, and replied inexplicably, "I am."

Xia Weiyang suddenly clenched Liang Yue's hand tightly and began to cry.

"Son, you are not my son, my son has never served me..."

Liang Yue felt blocked, he had never served his mother, and his mother had never given him a chance.

It was the first time in this life that she served a mother who was Yuan Yang's mother.

Xia Weiyang cried a few times, wiped away her tears, looked at Liang Yue carefully, and asked in a hoarse voice: "My child, are you Yuan Yang's classmate?"

"Well, my name is Liang Yue, and it's him... Yuan Yang's friend." Liang Yue explained.

"Hey!" Xia Weiyang sighed, "Yuan Yang is a good boy, he can't be delayed by this family."

Liang Yue frowned, not knowing how to answer these words.

Yuan Tao didn't run very far with a limp, when Yuan Yang caught up and grabbed the back of his neck.

Yuan Tao was in a hurry, and he turned back with a hard elbow.

Yuan Yang didn't react, his ribs were in pain, his hand suddenly softened, and Yuan Tao took the opportunity to break free again.

Yuan Tao originally wanted to continue running, but when he saw that there was a dead street in front of him, there was nowhere to run.

He knew that if he didn't want to make some moves, he would definitely not be able to escape Yuan Yang's grasp this time.

There is a garbage dump on the corner of the street, it looks like someone's house demolition waste materials are piled here, there is a mess of everything.

Yuan Tao took out a crooked iron rod from the garbage dump and pointed it at Yuan Yang.

"Yuan Yang, get the fuck out of my way, you can't control me!"

Yuan Yang looked at him with a cold face, and didn't want to tell him anything he disliked.

Yuan Tao saw that he ignored the soft stubble, so he could only be tough, holding up the iron rod and swung it towards Yuan Yang's head.

Yuan Yang dodged to the side, grabbed Yuan Tao's wrist and twisted it in the opposite direction, and the iron rod fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ouch, I fucked Yuan Yang against you!" Yuan Tao yelled twice when he was twisted.

Yuan Yang put his knees against his waist and pushed him to his knees on the ground.

"Are you still betting, huh? Believe it or not, I crippled your hand!"

Yuan Tao rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment, suddenly picked up half of a brick, raised his hand and slammed it hard on Yuan Yang's forehead.

In the fine dust that flew up, a thread of sticky blood trickled down Yuan Yang's forehead to his fair face.

"Fuck!" Yuan Yang felt dizzy and tinnitus, and almost sat on the ground.

Enduring the pain, he got up and grabbed Yuan Tao's neck tightly, lifting him from the ground and dragging him back.

"I'm ashamed of taking off your arms and legs on the street, go, go home and settle the score!"

"Let go, Yuan Yang, let go..."

Yuan Tao, who was being dragged backwards, wanted to turn around but couldn't turn around. He grabbed Yuan Yang's wrist and staggered on the street in a panic.

The pig ears at the cooked food stall had just been cut and packaged, and the eyes of the neighbor's aunt were all round.

"Hey, what did I say, you see the two brothers are really fighting."

The little boss stretched his neck and looked this way.

"It's useless to beat him. The boss is really useless, unless he can't get out of the bed by removing his legs."

"That can't be, it's two brothers anyway." The neighbor's aunt shook her head, and suddenly her eyes widened again, "Oh, it's over, it's over, here comes the cripple!"

"Fuck!" The little boss chopped the knife on the chopping board, frowned and sighed, "Fuck it! How did you catch up with this bastard?"

Yuan Yang grabbed Yuan Tao and stood at the street corner, looking coldly at a tall and thick man on a motorcycle standing in front of him.

"Step aside!"

The man looked contemptuously at Yuan Yang, then at Yuan Tao behind him, stared impatiently, and said in a rough voice: "Da Tao, are you fucking going or not?"

"Go, go." Yuan Tao saw him as if he saw a living Bodhisattva, "Cripple, please help!"

The cripple looked at Yuan Yang again, "Who is he? Is it your creditor again?"

Yuan Tao hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry about it, get him away quickly."

The cripple got off the motorcycle and stood in front of the two of them. Only then did Yuan Yang realize why Yuan Tao called him the cripple, because he was really lame on one leg.

Although he is lame, it doesn't affect his ferocious aura, and the barbaric aura around him is not a bird to be messed with at first glance.

"Hey, little brother, you let Da Tao go."

The cripple poked at the opposite side of Yuan Yang, and pointed to the embarrassed Yuan Tao who was being grabbed by Yuan Yang.

Yuan Yang ignored him, and walked around with Yuan Tao in his arms.

"Oh fuck!"

The cripple who ran across the streets and no one dared to provoke him had never received such a cold reception in his life.

Yuan Yang's disdainful attitude made him lose face, and the cripple's vicious retaliation was just a violent swing.
