Occupied

"Si! Si!"

Xia Yuechun's voice became louder and louder, and Liu Ahsi realized that he had been distracted for a long time. He stood blankly in front of the window, staring at one place without focus for a long time.

He recalled a pain, and Yue Chun had already finished a cup of the bitter coffee that made him hard to swallow.

"Oh……"

When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how to respond, so he said something casually.

"What's wrong with you? Not feeling well?"

As a doctor, Yuechun's first reaction was to reach out and touch Ah Si's forehead.This warming breath made Ah Si take a step back.

"I'm... all right."

"It's okay, why are you in a daze? By the way, you don't like coffee, so I'll make you a cup of milk?"

"No... no need... I just need cold water."

Xia Yuechun sighed, turned around and poured half a cup from the cold tea mug, added some hot water from the thermos, and handed it to Ah Si.

"How many times have I said, don't drink water that's too cold, it's not hot yet."

This is the doctor's nagging, Ah Si drank warm water, and in the winter he used to eat cool water to satisfy his hunger.

Although that kind of day is gone forever, it still feels a little tingling when I think about it occasionally.

What kind of person is Xia Yuechun in front of him?Rich people, for sure.

In short, be different from yourself.He knew that Xia Yuechun came from a medical family, received a good education since he was a child, and later went abroad for further studies.

Such a young master who grew up in a greenhouse can actually give him an inexplicable sense of warmth, maybe just like his name, it is the kind of soft warmth like spring.

The poor and the rich are born in two worlds. When I drank cold water to satisfy my hunger in the winter, should Young Master Xia sit by the stove and drink milk?

Just such a person actually blocked a gun for him.

Why?what is this?

He also gradually got used to having multiple masters, following them through life and death, and Xia Yuechun told him that he would never give him to others in his life.

There is also the phrase like it or hate it, if you don't hate it, you like it, right?Having experienced so much together, he also knows Xia Yuechun's personality. Although they grew up in different environments, even very different, Liu Ahsi really didn't feel a little bit out of place.

The reason why he didn't choose to go abroad with Boss Ah Chu was probably because he couldn't let go of this person. He was obviously a person without any skills and self-protection ability, but he would still take risks without hesitation.

This is my long-standing habit, Liu Ah Si, who likes to protect people and is used to protecting people.From a long time ago, he knew a word, to hoe the strong and help the weak, even if he has been struggling in the underworld for many years, this is the principle he insists on following.

The glass of water was finished, Liu Ahsi continued to drink from the empty glass because he was lost in thought, until Xia Yuechun snatched the glass away.

"I think you are not right today!"

"No...no..."

"You are absent-minded."

"No...Dean Xia...I..."

"Dean Xia?"

Yue Chun raised his tone, and his eyes widened even more.

Ah Si frowned again, as if he had said something wrong again, but he was right.

Dean Xia, I've been calling for a long time. It's not wrong to be the surname Xia, and it's not wrong to be the dean.

"Dean Xia, Dean Xia! Don't I have a name? I've said it more than once, don't call me so foreign."

"I...that..."

The louder Xia Yuechun yelled, the more Liu Ahsi stuttered, his mind went blank and he couldn't speak.

"You don't know my name, do you?"

Of course not, Liu Ahsi wanted to answer, but just opened his mouth, and really didn't know what to call it.Human memory is so useless, once nervous, it is absolutely unreliable, what is it called?Xia Yuechun's yelling really made his brain go blank.

"Look, let me tell you, you really don't know! Listen to me, I'll say it again, my name is Xia Yuechun!"

Yuechun slowed down his speech, emphasizing every word, as if he was still thinking about explaining the meaning of the name, and changed his words again.

"Forget it, forget it if it's too complicated, just remember to jump over the spring, it's easy to remember. Leap! Spring!"

"Oh...Xia..." Just as he was about to call out the name he was used to, Xia Yuechun stared back at him. Ah Si could only say what he said just now, "Yue...chun..."

"Unnatural, call again."

"Leap...spring..."

"Call again."

"Leap...spring."

"Call again."

"Yuechun."

Just like a teacher in a school teaching reading and writing, Yue Chun asked Ah Si to repeat it over and over again until he stopped hesitating and stuttering.

"Well, remember? Call me Dean Xia again, and I'll call you Bodyguard Liu!"

Ah Si nodded. In fact, he really didn't care about the address, just like his own inconspicuous name. Bodyguard Liu is just Bodyguard Liu.

It's just that, for so many years, he has never called anyone by their first name. In his childhood memories, apart from those relatives who had titles, he didn't have any partners who let him call them by their names directly.

Later, when he was on the underworld, there was even no such opportunity. There are distinct levels in the road, and people's hearts are sinister. Forget what to do after thinking about it so much, he forcibly interrupted his unbearable memories and skipped it.

Director Han and the boss, these two people who have been in contact for a long time and have a good relationship, also have fixed titles.

After careful calculation, Dean Xia was really the first employer who asked him to call him by name directly. Ah Si sighed and frowned.

"Don't frown!"

Even this long-standing habit is banned?Liu Ahsi straightened his brows, and stared at the angry Xia Yuechun with wide eyes.

"Oh."

Nodding, obeying, is his style.

"Okay, I see you are exhausted, go to sleep quickly, the next room is empty."

Yuechun pointed to the room next to the dean's room. Liu Asi stood still, looking at the mountain of reports on Xia Yuechun's desk and asked, "This..."

"You can't help me with this. You go and rest first, and I'll ask you to drive me back when I'm done. I don't want to be in a car driven by fatigue. Go to sleep."

This is where Xia Yuechun's poisonous tongue lies. Although the first half of the sentence is very soft, adding another sentence after it will make people choke to death.

I remember that when the boss was still in Shanghai, he often bickered with Dean Xia, but now that the boss is not here, Dean Xia must also feel very bored facing him as a papaya.

"it is good."

Really didn't know what to respond, so Liu Ahsi could only obediently obey.

Obedience is the best.

Yue Chun was right, he really couldn't help with the stack of documents and reports.

Ah Si lay down on the sofa in the lounge next door, closed his eyes, and for the sake of driving without fatigue, let's take a nap anyway, even for the safety of the passengers.

He was a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep well. For some reason, Xia Yuechun always had Xia Yuechun buried in the report in his mind.

There is an indescribable pain in my heart, which is infiltrating faintly, as if a gap was gently separated by a knife, where the blood is slowly flowing, and people are there to experience the reality of this drop by drop. the pain.

He has never slept particularly soundly, and always stays vigilant, just like a trapped beast living in the wild, he has to be vigilant all the time in order to survive, but this has become a necessary skill in this era of wars and strife .

Ah Si has not recalled the past for too many years, and for some reason, starting from these few days, he always inadvertently thinks about things many years ago.

Sometimes he also wonders how Xia Yuechun spent his childhood, and he can probably guess the life of such a young master, but what makes him puzzled is, how can such a young master who has received a good education and should be pampered devote himself to life? into this dangerous business.

He can be his dean and run his hospital well.Why would a scholar who can barely wield a gun and knows no fists get involved in such a harsh class struggle.

People are forced, and Dean Xia must have his helplessness and reasons. Many years ago, he, Liu Ahsi, was just a miserable child who was bullied by others, and he was forced to become what he is now by the world.

Ah Si became helpless and alone since the early spring of that year.

Because of that damned broken bowl, he lay down for two days after being severely beaten by his aunt, without even bringing them a bite of food. Ah San missed work and stayed in the drafty little firewood room with his brother in his arms.

He woke up and fell asleep, and really wanted to sleep like this. At this time, he felt that the death of his parents, elder brother, second brother, and younger sister was a relief at all.

In this world, only he and Ah San are left to suffer. Only those who are struggling to understand how hard and tiring it is to live in this world.

Ah Si's body is in good shape, except for some skin injuries, and he can sit up on the third day.Thinking of Ah San agreeing to take him away, Ah Si no longer feels so desperate. He can beg for food and do anything he can do, but he just doesn't want to be angry for no reason anymore.

Ah San smiled and said to find him something to eat, and agreed that the two of them would leave together before dawn tomorrow. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the hope in their hearts spread its wings.

But that turned out to be the last time Ah San spoke to him, smiled at him, held his hand, and hugged him.

Sleeping in a daze until morning, Ah Si woke up suddenly, it was already past the early morning, and the elder brother promised himself to escape together this morning, why didn't he come back when he went out to find food last night.

Feeling anxious, Ah Si dragged a pair of straw sandals that were much bigger than his feet, and ran out with his still weak body.

It was not the first time he had seen the panicked look of the neighbor next door when he saw the neighbor running over in a panic. Every time he saw it, it was a crashing accident.

His heart was already clenched, but he still couldn't stop the thunder from the blue sky.

Following the direction pointed by the neighbor, he saw a broken straw mat with a person rolled up inside. The short straw mat couldn't cover the entire body, and the whole body was exposed from ankle to toe.

Trembling over, he lifted the straw mat, and what he saw was Ah San with a bruised face and blood at the corner of his mouth, motionless, no matter how he pushed, he remained motionless!

Third brother!he called out.

no respond.

Third brother!He cried out again, with sobs.

Still no response.

When he finally realized the truth and knew that his third brother had left him forever, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Parents are gone, elder brother and second brother are gone, younger sister is gone, and finally, even third brother abandoned him.

Liu Asi, who was only 11 years old, became lonely and lonely. He was not the only poor child on the beach. There were many scumbags on the street, and he was more.

He didn't know how he survived those days. He robbed those fierce little bums for food, ate meat from the slop thrown out by rich people, and occasionally got rations from kind people passing by.

It wasn't until he accidentally embarked on the road of the underworld that he realized that what he had experienced in the past was just a little hardship to make a living, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

He hated those rich people who ran amok. He couldn't forget the reason for Ah San's tragic death, just to find him something to eat.Ah San, who had been absent from work for two days, returned to her employer's house and stole some leftovers from the small kitchen that she thought would not be of much use. Anyway, it would not be delicacies from mountains and seas, but something that even rich people would not eat.

Discovered by the housekeeper of the employer's house, he was treated as a house thief, beaten by four or five servants together, and beaten to death.

This was told by the guy who worked with Ah San in this house, and Ah Si stared fiercely at the horizontal plaque at the door for a long time.He remembered that one day, he would get it back from these bastards.

"Si, Si?"

Someone called him, the voice was very familiar, Ah Si slowly opened his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep this time, and thought of too many things in the past.

Yuechun should have already dealt with the matter at hand, put on his coat and prepared to go back.

"Oh... Xia... no... Yue Chun... Are you done?"

"It's rare for you to sleep so soundly. You didn't wake up when I approached."

Xia Yuechun was a little surprised, and approached Ah Si's face, reaching out to break his eyelids.

"how?"

Ah Si hid in shock, Xia Yuechun felt uncomfortable whenever he got close.

"I always feel that you are not feeling well, why is there something wrong with your face?"

"I'm fine..."

Director Han is a good person, and the boss is also a good person, but there has never been anyone like Xia Yuechun who seems to be paying attention to his every move all the time. Even if he is in a daze, he will be regarded as sick.

It's a common problem of doctors, maybe the former boss is not so neurotic?

"Let's go."

Yue Chun picked up Ah Si's suit jacket hanging on the back of the sofa and handed it over, and went out with somewhat unsteady steps.

Sitting in the car, Dean Xia, who was tired for a long time, began to doze off, and Ah Si just drove his car quietly, turning his head to look at it from time to time.

The distance between cars was not long. Xia Yuechun was still sleeping comfortably until he stopped the car. There was no sign of waking up. Ah Si wanted to speak but hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he just took off his suit and covered him.

With a round face and round glasses, the tiredness of these days has given Yuechun's originally plump and round face some contours. It should look more handsome, but for some reason, he feels distressed.

He has noticed the recent busyness. Xia Yuechun has shouldered too many responsibilities. He is like a wise military adviser and a general who wants to control the overall situation. He needs to think about too many things and do too much. matter.

He Ah Si doesn't care who he follows, but he also has his own bottom line and never violates his conscience.But he never talked too much, and if Yuechun didn't say anything, he would never ask more questions, so Ah Si didn't know what kind of organization Yuechun joined.

In this world, there is no savior, the only one who can save you is yourself.

The teachings he had heard before emerged in his mind. Will Yuechun's confident and persistent belief really save this miserable society and turbulent country?

Without seeing the ending, no one knows the answer.Ah Si sighed, and leaned back on the chair, he remembered the past that he had forgotten for a long time, he didn't think about it deliberately, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

How he went from a street scumbag to a gangster in Shanghai is like an unbelievable dream.

He still vaguely remembered that day, it was raining, he hadn't eaten for two whole days, and his eyes were dizzy from hunger.

As soon as the rain stopped, a familiar little brother brought the news that there was a group of people setting up a stall on the road, and there were endless things to eat.

Hearing this, he and several little bastards rushed over in a hurry. Seeing the pile of white steamed buns, everyone swallowed, wishing to stuff all the piles of steamed buns into their stomachs.

Sure enough, there will be no pies in the sky, and there is no free lunch. At this time, a man said without emotion, and all the hungry and crazy children present in the next second risked their lives for those steamed buns.

Want to get full?Then rely on your own strength to defeat everyone, and you will no longer be hungry.

Hunger, at that time, was the greatest horror for children like them.

They will do anything to not go hungry.

He didn't even remember how he punched, how he lifted his legs, and how he knocked down the taller children beside him.

Maybe it was because the condition that he would never be hungry for a lifetime was too tempting. He used all his strength to fight for his own stomach.

Liu Ah Si, who never thought he was talented in fighting, actually stood there straight at the end of the fight, and turned his gaze to the white steamed bun.

"What's your name?" The man who had been watching them fight without saying a word since just now spoke, taking a few steamed buns and putting them in Ah Si's hands.

"Liu Asi." He answered quickly, and started to pick up the steamed bun in his hand and gnawed on it. It was soft and sweet, and the satisfaction of filling his stomach made him overjoyed. .

"Just you. Come with me."

"It will always be...do you have food?"

This was the question that Ah Si was most concerned about at that time, and he asked while eating.

"Yes, I won't live this kind of life without the next meal."

Ah Si smiled, nodded, and took another bite of the steamed bun.

"It's possible to die, though."

The man darkened his face and added something, looking at the little Ah Si.

die?He thinks that there is no more painful way to die than starvation, so as long as he is not starved to death, it doesn't matter how he dies, at least let him eat a few full meals before he dies.

"I'm not afraid."

"Okay, then follow me."

He just followed them away, and instead of living the days of wandering on the streets, he stepped into another world that was more uncomfortable than death.

When he thought about it later, he realized that starving to death was a happier way to die than what he had experienced next.

"Si! Why didn't you call me?!"

Xia Yuechun screamed, threw the clothes covering her back to Ah Si, opened the door, got out of the car, and hurried into the room.

Ah Si was still immersed in his memories, he took a moment to realize what was going on in front of him, put on his clothes, locked the car door, and followed in silently.

"I see that you slept too deeply, so I don't want to disturb you."

"I still have a report that must be completed. Because I have materials at home, I can't complete it in the hospital."

Yue Chun went upstairs in a hurry, turned around and entered the study room, the door slammed shut, making Liu Ah Si who followed to the door stunned, if he took another quick step, the door would hit his forehead.

Dean Xia is too desperate these days, and the boss and Ah Ci are no longer around, maybe he doesn't even have anyone to discuss with.

Xia Yuechun has never discussed work issues with herself. Although she always cares about herself from time to time, Ah Si always feels that something is wrong, but she can't say what is wrong.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Xia Yuechun, but besides fighting and killing, he can't do anything else.

He doesn't understand medicine, he doesn't understand English and German, and he doesn't understand many literary works and Western culture.

What else can he do?Ah Si seemed to have thought of something, turned around and went to the kitchen.

I always saw Xia Yuechun drinking coffee, and he gradually learned to make coffee. Although he didn't like the taste, it was barely something he could help.

"Ah Si."

Yuechun's voice came from the room, and Ah Si walked in lightly with a cup of fragrant coffee.

"coffee."

Yue Chun looked at the cup in his hand and smiled, just this smile made Liu Ah Si's heart beat faster.

"Thank you, I was just about to ask you to get me a cup of coffee, you are more and more worry-free."

Seeing him finish his coffee, Ah Si put away his cup and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned around and stood where he was.

"What's wrong? Anything to say?"

Xia Yuechun didn't look back, and continued to write vigorously in his hand, asking a question out of the blue.

"kindness……"

Ah Si didn't know what to say for a moment, and just responded.

"Tell me, I'm listening."

"It's getting late...you didn't sleep yesterday..."

Hell, Dr. Xia used to remind other patients of this kind of words, why did Liu Ahsi remind this great doctor today.

Ah Si didn't know what kind of demon he was, but he would burst out such a sentence.

"Okay, I know, I'm a doctor, I won't torture myself to death. Don't worry."

Xia Yuechun answered quickly, his mind was still active, as if refreshed by the coffee, the writing speed in his hand accelerated.

"Then I..."

"Go to bed first. I still have a while."

"Tomorrow afternoon..." There will be a secret meeting organized by Yuechun at two o'clock tomorrow, and they should be preparing a report for this meeting, and they have to do some other things tomorrow morning.

Ah Si was just a little worried, if he stayed overnight, would Yuechun be able to hold on tomorrow.

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine. We will go to Zhabei tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early as the driver, I can still doze off in the car. Again, I don't want to ride in a car driven by fatigue, you Hurry up and go rest."

Xia Yuechun seemed to know what Ah Si wanted to say, every time he didn't wait for a sentence to be finished, he would definitely answer, and he would never get the answer wrong, every time he was more accurate than fortune-telling.

He went back to the room, deliberately didn't close the door, he could see Yuechun's study across the corridor, the light was always on, and he just kept waiting.

Until he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, because he also promised Yuechun that he must maintain his energy and be a qualified driver.

Liu Ahsi managed to sleep through the middle of the night, while Xia Yuechun had another sleepless night.
