The scumbag brother is finally accepted

On Anxu Peak, Xuanqiu retreated for many days, worrying and forgetting all day long, thinking about Su Tao in his heart, having trouble sleeping and eating.This day, I finally couldn't help but wanted to go to see her, but when I got to the door, I was turned away.It wasn't the first time she was rejected by her, and Xuanqiu was used to it.

With all the troubles these days, he hadn't seen Su Tao for more than a month.Even if there are thousands of words in your heart, no one can tell them, so write them down.

Xuanqiu sat at the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, dipped his pen in the ink, stared at the white paper for a long time, thinking about it, all the past came to his mind, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

Shen Mengzhuang and others returned to Anxu Peak with the Tianzi scroll, Zhou Bufan felt uneasy.Before he came back, he promised Ye Zhenzhen that he would take the blame, but when he walked to the gate of Taixu Pavilion, his heart beat, thinking of facing Xuanqiu, to him, it was more painful than a thousand cuts.

Zhou Bufan stood at the door, swallowed, straightened his sleeves, took a few deep breaths, as if a strong man was about to die, he reached out and gently knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

"Enter."

The wooden door opened with a "squeak", and Zhou Bufan walked in bravely. The atmosphere in the attic was overwhelming, exactly the same as Xuanqiu's gloomy face.Zhou Bufan came here twice in total, once when he entered Cangxuan at the beginning of the year, and once at this moment.

Xuanqiu stood by the window, with his back to the gate, and he could see his gloomy and tingling face just from his back, which was the only face Zhou Bufan didn't want to see in this world.

Zhou Bufan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt straight on the ground, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Master."

Hearing the sound, Xuanqiu turned around slowly, looked at the people at his feet, and said after a long silence, "I heard that you were controlled by a ferocious beast?"

Zhou Bufan was taken aback for a moment, then replied softly: "Yes."

Xuanqiu stroked his beard, remained silent, thought for a moment, and continued: "People who can be controlled by fierce beasts have resentment and obsession in their hearts. Do you have resentment in your heart?"

Zhou Bufan remained silent.

Xuanqiu turned sideways to look at the ginkgo tree outside the window, and said to himself: "You should, and you should also hate me."

Zhou Bufan lowered his head and did not look at him, and replied in a cold tone: "I dare not."

"If you don't resent me, why were you controlled by the beast? And why haven't you called me until now?"

Zhou Bufan suddenly raised his head to look at him, frowning, the past hatred and unwillingness were all condensed on his face, and finally turned into a strange sound——

"father."

Xuanqiu turned around to look at him, stood with his hands behind his back, and slowly said: "I was murdered by someone back then, with your mother...it's useless to talk about it now, I finally betrayed her. Thinking about my life, running around for the common people , looking back, I found that I have let down the people around me. Although you joined the Cangxuan Sect and followed me since childhood, I have never fulfilled my father's duty. You should blame me. As a father, I failed to teach you, As a master, I failed to teach you well."

After speaking halfway, Xuanqiu took one last look at him, then slowly walked towards the desk, waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it, let's go back."

Zhou Bufan looked at his back, although he had a thousand words to say, he couldn't say a word at this time, and finally just bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Disciple, leave."

Coming out of Taixu Pavilion, Zhou Bufan did not return to the bedroom, but went straight to Wudao Gate and knelt under the door. This was the second time he knelt here, and this time he was willing.

At the same time, the backyard was noisy, and a group of young disciples gathered outside Lu Qingyuan's bedroom, arguing for some reason.

"As soon as you came back, my things disappeared, and you said you didn't steal them!"

"I said it wasn't me!"

In Lu Qingyuan's bedroom, a disciple who was five-year-old and three-year-old angrily lifted the quilt, threw all the pillows and bedding on the bed, and ransacked the house without knowing what he was looking for.

"Where did you hide it? Hurry up and hand it over to me, or I will tell the master and let you go around without food!"

The disciples on the side also stepped forward and said: "Junior Brother Lu, if you take something from others and return it as soon as possible, we will let this matter go by, and we will still be brothers after leaving this sect. If you are obsessed with obsession, even the Master will not be able to save you." you!"

"That's right, things with unclean hands and feet, Master is the most taboo!"

"Why was everything fine before, but things disappeared as soon as you came back? Could it be you or a ghost?"

The rest of the people pointed and pointed, but Lu Qingyuan stood there unmoved.

At this time, whoever was gossiping, she muttered like a gossip: "Oh, I think we should just forget about it and treat ourselves as unlucky. He is very cunning, and the elder brother was coaxed into submission by him. The ghost is obsessed with protecting him, we can't afford to offend him."

"I've heard that too, and I've also heard that the Second Senior Brother was punished to kneel at the Wudao Gate because of him. This is the second time."

"Could he be the reincarnation of a vixen? I think we'd better stay away and don't get caught up in the bad luck. Otherwise, like the elder brother, it won't be worthwhile for a good person to be ruined."

"That's right! I'm sorry for our beloved elder brother!"

……

Lu Qingyuan was still indifferent just now, but now he heard them slandering his senior brother behind his back, he was filled with anger, clenched his fists tightly, stared at the group of disciples with eyes like knives, grabbed one of them by the collar, and punched him hard .

When the rest of the people saw this, they rushed forward one after another.

The noise almost lifted the roof, Shen Mengzhuang heard a noise in the backyard, so he came looking for the sound.

Walking outside Lu Qingyuan's bedroom, he felt a little dissatisfied when he saw a group of people holding on to the door and wooden windows.

He lifted his gown and strode in, with a dignified look, although his face was calm, but not angry, he said in a deep voice, "What is making such noise?"

Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the door, and saw a white shirt that was more snow-covered, standing against the light, covered with a layer of soft sunlight, like a mortal god, standing on the altar, and could only watch devoutly from a distance.

Seeing Shen Mengzhuang approaching, a group of disciples retreated to one side, bowed their hands respectfully, and said in unison: "Eldest senior brother!"

Shen Mengzhuang casually glanced at the room, it was in a mess, even worse than ransacking the house.The anger in my heart became worse, and my face became more and more ugly.

Before Shen Mengzhuang could open his mouth, the junior brother who caused the trouble came over and complained, "Eldest brother, you are the pillar of Anxu Peak, the master respects you, and the juniors also rely on you. You have always been selfless and kind-hearted, like the brightness of the sun and the moon , Junior Brother, I have always looked up to you—"

This disciple is also a good person, he knows to flatter before asking for help, and blows Shen Mengzhuang to the sky inside and out, but Shen Mengzhuang is not moved at all.If it were normal, he would naturally eat this way, who doesn't like to hear nice words, especially Shen Mengzhuang, a stinky fart, but today he only thinks this person is noisy.

It's not that his flattery was wrong, or his words were not sweet enough, but because - the person he bullied was Lu Qingyuan.

Shen Mengzhuang became impatient when he heard it, and looked sideways, looking at him coldly.

The disciple met his gaze, couldn't help but tremble, his whole body trembled, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes in broad daylight, otherwise he would have thought he was hallucinating, what he saw was not the peach blossom Shen Mengzhuang with a human face, but the cold mountain mist in the cold winter ice cellar.

There was still a stomach full of flattery, but the man swallowed it back alive, and said straight to the point: "Brother, Lu Qingyuan stole my jade pendant, you have to make the decision for me!"

The people on the side echoed: "Yes, senior brother, that jade pendant is the only thought left to him by the younger brother's mother. If it is a small thing beside it, let the younger brother Lu like it. Let him take it. We are not people who care about everything. It's just that this jade pendant is very meaningful, so please return Junior Brother Lu with mercy."

The disciple walked in front of Lu Qingyuan, and said confidently: "I'll give you whatever you want, only this jade pendant, you don't want to take it away!"

Lu Qingyuan looked at that person, and then at Shen Mengzhuang. At this moment, the aura of fighting with people just now disappeared without a trace in front of him. He just called softly, "Senior Brother..."

The disciple interrupted him and said, "You don't want senior brother to protect you. I tell you that if you don't take out the jade pendant, this matter will never end! Senior brother will not protect you for a person with dirty hands and feet like you. Don't even think about pestering you." Big brother!"

While talking, the disciple went to the bed and writhed, angrily said: "I don't believe it, this room is so big, where else can you hide!"

A pile of rattles came out from the bedside cabinet, and the man searched carefully but couldn't find the jade pendant.But he still didn't give up, and continued to rummage inside.

There is a wooden box placed against the wall next to the pillow, it is very delicate, hidden in the corner, you can't find it unless you look carefully.As if he had discovered some terrible secret, the man pulled out the small wooden box and said, "Okay, I finally found it, and even said that you didn't take it, and you got the stolen goods!"

When Lu Qingyuan saw the wooden box in his hand, he panicked and wanted to rush to grab it, but was stopped by the people around him.

"Don't move! There's no—"

Before he finished speaking, the man had already opened the lid and poured out all the contents.

Things crashed on the ground, and there was no jade pendant that the person was looking for inside, but what was hidden left everyone present dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The man picked up one of them, examined it carefully, and said, "Isn't this... Senior Brother, isn't this your hairband?"

There are two peach petals embroidered on the end of the hairband, only Shen Mengzhuang of the Cangxuan School uses this style, and others can spot it at a glance.

Shen Mengzhuang stared at the hairband that had disappeared for a long time, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.That day after he washed it, he hung it outside to air dry, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. He thought it was blown away by the wind, why...

"And this, isn't this the brother's sachet?"

Shen Mengzhuang heard the sound and looked over. The disciple was holding the sachet that he had lost for a long time. He thought he had accidentally lost it when he went down the mountain, but...

"Also, senior brother, this is all yours!"

Shen Mengzhuang looked at the pile of things, besides the hair belt sachet, there were also his girdle, handkerchief, sword tassel, and even his inner coat.

The disciple pointed to Lu Qingyuan and said, "Okay, you not only stole my things, but also the elder brother's. Don't you have any sense of how the elder brother treats you? Moreover, you also stole so...so..."

When the words came to his mouth, the man seemed a little ashamed to speak, so he turned his face to look at the senior brother, and said angrily: "Senior brother, how do you deal with this matter? Lu Qingyuan is sneaky, his hands and feet are not clean, he should be dealt with according to the school rules !"

Shen Mengzhuang was indifferent, looked at the pile of things, and said in a deep voice: "I gave it to him."

"What?" The disciple opened his mouth in disbelief, "But these are all your personal belongings, why would you give them away like this..."

Shen Mengzhuang turned his head to look at him, with a calm face, he paused every word: "Is there a problem?"

The man had no choice but to withdraw his neck resentfully, and replied: "No, no problem..."

The disciple continued to rummage through the entire house several times.

Lu Qingyuan stared straight at Shen Mengzhuang, with tears in his eyes. The moment the wooden box was opened, it seemed that his secret, which he was ashamed to see, was pulled out from the darkness where no light could be seen, and was exposed to everyone in a grandiose manner. in the eyes.

There was no place to be ashamed, his cherished thoughts, the joy he had enshrined in his heart, were all thrown naked at the feet of the crowd, pointing and laughing at will.

Lu Qingyuan looked at Shen Mengzhuang's calm side face, feeling uneasy and terrified.Senior brother saw it just now, he saw everything, he secretly collected his things behind his back, he fantasized about him day and night behind his back, senior brother treated him so well, but what did he do?He is unrealistically delusional, and wants to ask beyond his limits, will the senior brother laugh at him?Will Senior Brother hate him?Brother will feel that he...disgusting?

The turbulent movement in the house continued, and suddenly someone broke in and shouted: "Junior brother, I found your jade pendant! Here it is!"

The disciple looked up at the sound, took the jade pendant, and said happily, "Where did you find it?"

"I found it under your bed. Could it be that you threw it under the bed when you changed the quilt yesterday?"

"It's possible, ah, it's all right. Well, senior brother, I found the jade pendant, and I'm sorry for taking you so long. I'm sorry, brother. If it's all right, we'll leave first, so we won't disturb your rest."

The man was about to leave after saying that, but Shen Mengzhuang said: "Stop."

Hearing the sound, a group of people obediently stood where they were, not daring to move.

"You have framed someone, and now you plan to escape?"

That disciple pointed to Lu Qingyuan and said, "He hit me first!"

Shen Mengzhuang stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "I didn't see it."

"Brother, you—"

With such blatant protection, that disciple could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and swallow any dissatisfaction in his stomach.Who told him to be Shen Mengzhuang, a senior disciple whom Master Xuanqiu trusted and respected, if he really wanted to sue Master, it would be clear at a glance who he would trust.

The man walked up to Lu Qingyuan, scratched his head, as if a jack was pressing on his head, remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered vaguely: "I'm sorry——"

As soon as the voice fell, the man ran away without a trace, and the rest of the people followed behind and quickly evacuated.

After everyone had left, Shen Mengzhuang's face turned slightly, walked up to Lu Qingyuan, and said softly: "It's all right, if you come to me directly if something like this happens in the future, I won't let them bully you."

Shen Mengzhuang stretched out his hand to touch Lu Qingyuan's head, but his palm had not yet landed on top of his head.Lu Qingyuan suddenly took a step back, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, like a flood breaking a bank.

Lu Qingyuan kept wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his face was covered with tears.Shen Mengzhuang had never seen him so sad, his heart was twisted into a ball, and he was extremely distressed, all the emotions of the people in front of him affected his own emotions, he was sad, and he was also sad.

Shen Mengzhuang stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, but Lu Qingyuan continued to back away, as if avoiding him.

From sobbing, it gradually turned into howling uncontrollably, as if to vent all the sorrow hidden in my heart.Lu Qingyuan rubbed his eyes, his face was wet with tears, his clothes were also wet a lot, his voice was choked up, and he said intermittently: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Senior brother is so kind and gentle to me, I'm very happy, really happy Happy. But I'm really, really sad, sorry...sorry...please..."

Please don't be so cruel to him, please don't let him be delusional anymore, please don't give him hope again and again, please...

For him, the tenderness of a loved one is the best antidote in this world, but also the most difficult poison to cure.The world is beautiful with mountains and rivers, and the world is too beautiful to behold. However, he, Lu Qingyuan, only wants to be alone.

This person is his world.

But this world is just his delusion.

If you can't love it, the world is suffering.

Lu Qingyuan turned around and turned his back to Shen Mengzhuang, his whole body trembling.It was as if he had exhausted all his life's courage to tell the person behind him his thoughts, the thoughts that had been hidden deep in his heart, no matter whether the person accepted it or hated him, he wanted to tell him himself.It's not that I just thought about it today, but today I finally couldn't help it anymore, the affection in my heart has surged to my throat, and I don't know when it will jump out of my mouth, defenseless.

Lu Qingyuan lowered his head and sobbed, still intermittently, and whispered: "Actually... I have always... been very, very... very happy... very happy... always very happy... happy..."

When the words came to his lips, Lu Qingyuan suddenly felt a little timid. The unprecedented panic and anxiety surrounded him from all directions. If he said it, what would happen to him and his senior brother?If he keeps silent and hides this thought in his heart forever, will he and his brother get along forever?Senior brother will always treat him so well and won't hate him, but... that's all, him and senior brother, that's all.

They will always be brothers, brothers and sisters, and they will always be able to stand behind him and look up at him instead of walking side by side with him.

I want to stand beside him, I want to hug him generously, I want to monopolize him with dignity.

If you want the name "Shen Mengzhuang", it will always belong to "Lu Qingyuan".

So, I want to tell him, I want to convey this feeling to him personally.

Lu Qingyuan covered his tearful eyes, gritted his teeth, and shivered as if he was suffocating. Perhaps only those who love in their hearts will be full of courage.

In the end, desperately, he said softly but firmly:

"I like you!"

When the heavy words came out of his mouth, Lu Qingyuan suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if a hole had been pierced by a thin needle, and all his strength was drained away.

He said it out, he said he likes senior brother, it's ridiculous.Senior brother treats him tenderly, but he has such filthy thoughts towards senior brother.Day and night, thinking about senior brother's personal belongings, senior brother must think him disgusting.Between the two men, there is actually a love for children, and there are also unreasonable thoughts.

Lu Qingyuan helplessly covered his face with a wry smile. He said that he was about to lose his senior brother, and he could no longer be by his side forever. However, he had no way to let go of this relationship from now on, even if his senior brother would hate him and find him disgusting. , he will always miss and admire forever.Brother is such a beautiful person, of course it is impossible to be with him, brother will marry the best girl in the world, how could it be his turn, he is so———

The distracting thoughts in his head were entwined and grown unscrupulously like a mess, Lu Qingyuan lowered his head and smiled wryly, but before he could vent his full of cranky thoughts, he was suddenly shrouded in warmth behind him.

The whole person was hugged tightly in his arms, Lu Qingyuan's eyes were wide open, his breathing was stagnant, and even his heart stopped beating, all messy thoughts were swept away.

Shen Mengzhuang hugged him fiercely from behind, hugged him tightly in his arms, his chest pressed against his back, even though there was a gap between them, their heartbeats were still connected.

Real temperature, hot breath, rapid heartbeat.

Shen Mengzhuang leaned on Lu Qingyuan's shoulder, leaning against Lu Qingyuan's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "I've been waiting for you."

Lu Qingyuan's heart jumped into his throat, the tip of his nose became sour, and tears flowed out uncontrollably again, like broken beads.

Brother means...

Lu Qingyuan turned around, hugged Shen Mengzhuang back, hugged him tightly, his chest pressed against his chest, and called out: "Senior brother..."

After going through many obstacles, the two finally embraced each other bravely and firmly.

Love is also love, the world is the most joy.
