"We have known each other for so many years, but you never told me that you have a younger brother."

For some unknown reason that night, Du Jing suddenly brought up the old matter again.

"What?" Zhou Luoyang took away Du Jing's shirt and trousers, and said, "Are you still jealous? A watch."

Du Jing lay down, handed over his watch, and looked at Zhou Luoyang quietly.Zhou Luoyang took out the newly bought clothes to change for him, and said, "Besides, I haven't known you for many years, so change clothes."

Du Jing said: "So, you and Le Yao don't have a deep relationship, am I right?"

Zhou Luoyang wanted to frown and criticize Du Jing, but he knew that Du Jing had no other intentions.

"Yes." Zhou Luoyang admitted, and he replied, "We rarely saw each other in the past 16 years. Not even once in two or three years."

Le Yao is the child born to Zhou Luoyang's stepmother after his parents divorced and his father remarried.Zhou Luoyang seldom had any dealings with that place, and even during the years of acquaintance with Du Jing, he never went to Tokyo to visit his father.

Before the car accident, the only vague memory of Le Yao is that he went to visit relatives a few times and lived in his stepmother's house. The family kept the basic and polite manners towards him.

Thinking of Le Yao when he was a child, Zhou Luoyang still liked it very much, especially when Le Yao was five or six years old, he would take his toys and let his elder brother play with him.

Fortunately, during the period of taking care of Le Yao, their relationship gradually improved. Zhou Luoyang really got to know his brother, and Le Yao was willing to rely on his brother wholeheartedly.Emotionally, in the past 16 years, it is like strangers who have never met each other.

However, they have a blood relationship that cannot be separated and broken.From this point of view, Zhou Luoyang was obliged to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of him and accompanying him on the last stage of his life.

Everyone needs independence, and people with disabilities are no exception.

Zhou Luoyang wanted Le Yao to be independent, not to do everything by himself, but to be independent in spirit and personality, and Le Yao also understood this.

"My biggest wish now," Zhou Luoyang said, "is that he is like a normal person. If he wants, he can choose whether to fall in love, whether to start a family, and the ability to realize his personal value."

Du Jing said again: "Then look back at yourself, have you finished?"

"No." Zhou Luoyang simply admitted, "So you want to teach me a lesson? Just like before?"

The corner of Du Jing's mouth twitched, and he had the right to respond.

Zhou Luoyang said: "It's really rare, I finally laughed once." After speaking, he turned off the light.

"Today Le Yao asked why we separated in the first place." Zhou Luoyang said in the dark.

Du Jing didn't answer, Zhou Luoyang said, "I don't really understand."

Du Jing still didn't speak, but Zhou Luoyang clearly felt that his breathing was a little rough.

"You said that what happened in the past is not important," Du Jing seemed to control his emotions, trying to reply in a calm tone, "Anyway, I'm already back."

Zhou Luoyang adjusted his posture, and when he put his pillow on, he felt Du Jing's arm under the pillow, but he didn't let him pull it out.

He wanted to say something more, but changed his mind.

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang said, "Don't leave without authorization again."

Du Jing whispered in the dark: "I'm really surprised that you think of me for so many years. After all, you have many friends, and I'm not the only one for you."

Zhou Luoyang: "I'm really going to get angry if you say that again."

However, Du Jing tightened his arms and forcibly hugged Zhou Luoyang into his arms.

"Du Jing, don't do this." Zhou Luoyang wanted to push Du Jing away, but this action was a bit out of bounds.

"Don't move," Du Jing said in a low voice, "let me hug you for a while, even if it's an illusion."

Zhou Luoyang sighed, and quietly let Du Jing hug him without breaking free.Soon, Du Jing breathed evenly and fell asleep slowly.

The texture of this pajamas is not bad.Zhou Luoyang leaned in Du Jing's arms and thought to himself.

When Zhou Luoyang woke up the next day, he could vaguely hear conversations in the living room.

Are there any guests?Zhou Luoyang immediately got out of bed and pushed the door open like a gust of wind.

Le Yao was sitting in a wheelchair, three men in black suits were standing aside, and a strong man was sitting on the sofa, also wearing a suit, showing the tattoo on the back of his hand, looking like a domineering president, holding a can of Coke in his hand .

When Le Yao heard the sound of the door, he turned to look at his brother.

"Muye?" Zhou Luoyang almost remembered as soon as he saw him.

The last time I saw Makino was in the bathing city, today he obviously had his hair cut, he looked very energetic, with the arrogance of an elite man, Le Yao looked extremely weak in front of him.

His "military adviser" did not come.

Zhou Luoyang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he came here to make a fuss for Wu Xingping?

Mu Ye was startled, looked at Zhou Luoyang, and immediately remembered.

"It's you," Makino said, "I almost couldn't recognize you when you put on your clothes."

Le Yao: "..."

Le Yao looked at his elder brother with a puzzled face, Zhou Luoyang said, "Don't say such misleading things... This is my brother."

Makino nodded and said, "We've already had a brief chat."

Zhou Luoyang frowned deeply, and he was still wearing pajamas. After thinking about it, the other party came to his house, and there were still four of them. It was too oppressive. He didn't care, I was afraid that Le Yao would have unnecessary worries .

"How about we talk about it in another place?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Muye said: "I think this place is very good. Your name is Zhou Luoyang, right? Let me formally introduce, my name is Muye."

Makino also reached out his hand and shook Zhou Luoyang's.

Zhou Luoyang's mind is full of thoughts now, how to get Mu Ye and this group of younger brothers away, as long as it's not in front of Le Yao, it's easy to say anything.

"Well," Muye said, "since you know who I am, and you know what it means to come to my door in person, you have to give me this face, right? Let's just cut to the chase. The debt you two brothers owe, what is it?" Time to clear it up?"

Zhou Luoyang: "!!!"

At first Zhou Luoyang thought that Muye was here to ask about Wu Xingping's whereabouts, but he didn't expect to ask him to pay back the money!He almost forgot that Makino's job was to collect debts, so it should be that the creditors couldn't collect the money, so they packaged up the debts and handed them over to Makino to collect them.

"Oh, so is that so?" Zhou Luoyang finally came to his senses.

"Boss asks you! When will you pay back the money!" a follower shouted.

Le Yao was taken aback. Ever since she was a child, whether she was at home in Tokyo or by Zhou Luoyang's side, she had always spoken softly. No one spoke at this volume.

Zhou Luoyang was about to reprimand, but Mu Ye signaled, "They are scholars, don't be aggressive. Zhou Luoyang, do you need me to show the court judgment and the written notice?"

Zhou Luoyang swallowed his anger and said: "Give me a little more time, you have seen the situation at home, and I really can't come up with money."

At the same time, I thought, this is too much like the lines in a TV series... Sure enough, art comes from life.

"Your brother should need a lot of money to study, right?" said the attendant again.

Zhou Luoyang: "Can you stop doing this?!"

"Are you still in debt?" the servant said again.

Le Yao has never been clear about the family's debts, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he asked, "Brother, how much do we owe them?"

Zhou Luoyang said, "Leyao, go back to your room."

This was really the most embarrassing and humiliating moment in Zhou Luoyang's life. He knew that the collectors would come to his door, but he didn't expect to bump into Leyao at home.

"Six million and thirty thousand," Makino said, "it's unrealistic for you to take it all at once. But you have to show your sincerity, otherwise, when I go back, I want to speak for you, but I can't explain it. Are you right?"

This amount was too large, and the other party handed it over to Mu Ye and his group for collection, which was obviously a big project for Mu Ye, so he took it personally.

Le Yao said: "We will pay it back. You see, I can't run away with my appearance, can I?"

"Leyao," Zhou Luoyang said, "you go to the room first, go ahead, be obedient."

Mu Ye didn't expect that he would run into an acquaintance. Based on what he saw last time and the relationship between Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing, he was still unable to judge whether to take any action.What is a disabled person?Most of the families who owe money and don't pay back are old, weak, sick and disabled. They have a lot of ways to deal with it, which has long been commonplace.

However, at this moment, Zhou Luoyang's door opened again, and Du Jing walked out of the room.The three buttons of the pajamas were unbuttoned, the chest was half exposed, and the bare feet stepped on the wooden floor.

The people in the living room suddenly fell silent, looking at Du Jing together.Le Yao's expression was extremely complicated, even a little at a loss.

Du Jing didn't say a word, he found the trousers that were dried last night next to the washing machine, went into the bathroom to change, and washed.

"Yo, that kid again? What's the relationship between you two?" Mu Ye suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.

Zhou Luoyang said: "This has nothing to do with you. The creditor hasn't applied to the court for enforcement and promised me a grace period. Look, I haven't been listed as a dishonest person..."

Makino said, "That's a matter for the court, and it has nothing to do with us. All I know is that if the debt is handed over to me now, you have to..."

Du Jing opened the bathroom door, came to sit down in front of the sofa in the living room, and Makino lost his temper in the middle of speaking.

He was a little afraid of Du Jing.Zhou Luoyang found out.

"I'll pay back part of the money for him first," Du Jing said in a deep voice, "I'll bring you the account, and I'll pay you back in installments depending on the actual situation. If you need anything, go to my company to find me, and don't come to his house again."

Makino remained silent, and finally nodded. His subordinates found out the contract and handed it to Du Jing.

"Repay you 30 yuan first," Du Jing said, "write down the receipt."

"Du Jing." Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing transferred the money, took the receipt with fingerprints on it, handed it to Zhou Luoyang, stared into Mu Ye's eyes, and made a motion, indicating: Please.

"Next month," Muye said, "basketball kid, remember to prepare 100 million. It's only natural to pay off debts, and Brother Mu doesn't want to make too much trouble. Let's go."

Makino left with his followers, the remaining two brothers and Du Jing.

"Have breakfast? Shall I go downstairs to buy breakfast?" Du Jing asked Zhou Luoyang.

Zhou Luoyang said, "It's in the refrigerator."

"Let me come." Le Yao went to heat up breakfast.

Zhou Luoyang stroked his hair and went to wash himself. Four months ago, because of this debt, he ran to the court, visited the creditor, looked for relatives, and looked for the bank. He ran everywhere, but in the end he was still powerless.Whenever he hit a wall, he sighed, tried to smile, and continued to face it.

But when Du Jing transferred the money directly to pay him back without even looking at it, Zhou Luoyang's mood suddenly broke.

He turned on the faucet, took a deep breath, exhausted all his strength to control himself, kept pressing the center of his eyebrows with his thumb, trying to press back the complicated emotions.

At this moment, Du Jing made an extremely gentle move - he put his hand on Zhou Luoyang's head and rubbed it lightly.Zhou Luoyang's eyes turned red instantly, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

"Don't be seen by your brother." Du Jing looked into the mirror and reminded him in a low voice.

Zhou Luoyang quickly recovered his demeanor and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Du Jing said again, "Overnight fee."

Zhou Luoyang couldn't laugh or cry.

"How much is my tuition?" Le Yao asked thoughtfully while eating breakfast.

Zhou Luoyang said: "Parents have an inheritance, from which I divided the money, which is enough for you to use. Don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Le Yao wanted to say more, but in front of Du Jing, she held back her words.

Du Jing said: "Take you out for a stroll today? Where do you want to go?"

Zhou Luoyang remembered that Du Jing had taken a week off.

"Want to go?" Zhou Luoyang's mood had already recovered. He didn't know how to return the money to Du Jing, and he didn't know where to get the 100 million that Muye asked for next month.But he decided not to think about it at least today, so as to calm Le Yao down.

He looked at his phone, and the two companies that submitted their resumes replied, asking him to go to the interview on Monday, then leave the minimum living allowance, and then pay back the money slowly, trying to gain a period of time, which will probably convince Makino.

As for Du Jing's money, he can only bet on it first.

"I want to go." When Le Yao raised his head again, he had already recovered his smile. He has always been a very sensible child, and he knew that at this time, he could no longer trouble his brother.

There were three people in the family, but Du Jing was the most relaxed, even though he just paid back a large sum of money for Zhou Luoyang.

"Is your company still hiring?"

"You can't even recruit people, don't even think about it."

Du Jing printed three movie tickets in front of the self-service machine, and said to Zhou Luoyang, "Go play a secret room to survive in the afternoon?"

Le Yao was changing popcorn not far away, while Zhou Luoyang was still thinking.

"I'll go for an interview next week." Zhou Luoyang said again.

"Don't look for a job that is too tiring, try to go home and cook." Du Jing stretched out his hand and took some popcorn from Leyao's bucket.

Le Yao didn't say anything, Zhou Luoyang thought to himself, Du Jing, you are enough.

"I don't cook well," Zhou Luoyang said, "It will make you feel disgusted with life."

Du Jing had already forgotten what he had said, and began to push forward: "You can learn it, and I don't dislike it."

At the beginning of the movie, the two stopped talking.

Zhou Luoyang didn't ask Le Yao's opinion again. After all, he had made his statement last night and agreed to himself. Today, when Du Jing came again, Le Yao would not say anything more.

Of course he wouldn't say anything at first, Le Yao had many things hidden in his heart, but most of the time he didn't say anything.

Du Jing answered the phone halfway and left temporarily. Le Yao glanced at his brother.

But until the end of the movie, Du Jing still didn't come back, so he just sent him a message: [The company has something to do temporarily, deal with it, Zhuang Li will pick you up. 】

"Sister-in-law... okay?" Zhuang Li waited at the entrance of the shopping mall.

Zhou Luoyang didn't want to talk anymore, he looked at Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li said: "Brother Jing said...he moved in these few days?"

Zhou Luoyang carried Le Yao into the car and said, "Du Jing wants to move over to our house for a while."

"Okay." Le Yao nodded meekly.

Zhou Luoyang completed his confession. He didn't know what Le Yao was really thinking, but Du Jing had already proved to Le Yao that he was willing to do many things for them.

"Is there another case calling him?" Zhou Luoyang asked, "Zhuang Li, if you need it, you can go back first."

Zhuang Li said cheerfully, "It's okay, I'll take you home first."

That night, Du Jing didn't come back, he just sent a message to Zhou Luoyang, telling him to have a meeting all night to analyze a document, Zhou Luoyang took care of his younger brother to sleep first.The next day, he was going to send Le Yao to school first, and then pack Du Jing's things. Presumably this guy didn't have much luggage.

You guessed it right, Du Jing only has two sets of suits, a small drawer of underwear and socks, a photo frame with photos of the two of them at the West Lake, mobile phones, computer chargers and other miscellaneous items.

Zhou Luoyang used a bag to hold all of Du Jing's belongings, and when he carried it down, he happened to see Du Jing leaning in front of the car, drinking coffee thoughtfully.

He raised his eyebrows slightly at Zhou Luoyang, meaning; Le Yao left?

Zhou Luoyang had developed a tacit understanding with him that he didn't need to say much, and he didn't even need to say anything, so he nodded.

Du Jing said, "I haven't slept or eaten for two days."

"I didn't cook," Zhou Luoyang said, "I didn't even buy vegetables, because the family ran out of money and the rice was almost gone."

Du Jing drove, took Zhou Luoyang to buy vegetables, and put them in the refrigerator at home.Zhou Luoyang said, "I really don't like cooking."

"I really don't dislike it." Du Jing sat at the dining table, opened his wallet, took out bank cards and credit cards one by one, and spread them on the table.

"I heard that the last guy who sat in my seat cooked delicious food."

"Then you should learn from him." Zhou Luoyang glanced at the card and asked, "Is the password still the same?"

"I haven't changed it." Du Jing handed it to Zhou Luoyang one by one, and explained, "This is a salary card, and this is a deposit. I suggest you rent a complex with an elevator. This is a credit card. You pay attention to my wallet every week Just give me some cash."

"It's still the same as before," Zhou Luoyang said, "I'll take some cash and put it in the drawer. I have to take it by myself. If I don't have it, I will make it up."

With the popularization of electronic wallets, it is rare to need to use cash. Du Jing calmly turned over all the finances.Zhou Luoyang decided to take care of his account in a few days, cook him some favorite food first, and then let him sleep well.

When he returned to the dining table, he saw Du Jing seriously facing the six sheets of paper spread out on the table.There is a frontal photo of a person on each piece of paper, and the resume and information are recorded at the bottom.

"Go wash your hands, what's the situation?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

"Serial disappearances." Du Jing looked at the paper and murmured, "They all look pretty good. It's not just these six people, maybe there are still cases that haven't been reported."

He took the rice that Zhou Luoyang Shenghao handed over, and started the first meal that became the mainstay of the family's economy.Holding his chopsticks in his mouth, Zhou Luoyang downloaded the bank app, logged into Du Jing's bank account, and glanced at the running water.

Zhou Luoyang raised his head, the chopsticks in his mouth fell on the dining table, and said in disbelief:

"Du Jing, you can earn 40 a month as a private detective now?"

"Yes," Du Jing said politely, "Du is always tall, rich and handsome, pay attention to what you say, behave well, and serve me well. I will buy you whatever you want."
