not because of love

Saturday.

Li Che and Yan Lei got up and had breakfast, and because they were too bored, they lay down again under the covers. Just as they were about to close their eyes and go back to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter, didn't they bring the keys?" Yan Lei got his head out of the thin air-conditioning quilt.

Li Che shook his head, grabbed Yan Lei's coat and put it on, "I don't know, let me go and have a look."

"Your leg, can you go?"

Li Che got up and got out of bed: "Okay, there is no fracture, and it's not a cast leg, so you can't walk?"

There was another knock on the door, three polite knocks.

Subconsciously, Li Che felt that looking at the cat's eye was a very... obscene gesture, so he opened the door directly.But after recognizing the person, his intestines were full of regrets, and he wished to go back in time and let him be wretched again.

"Hello." Song Yuan smiled politely at Li Che: "We seem to have met before."

Li Che's hand was still on the doorknob, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Is Leilei in this dormitory? So you are roommates." Song Yuan still smiled.

"Who is it?" Yan Lei's voice came, he sat up from the bed and scratched his messy bangs.

Song Yuan cast a questioning look at Li Che: "Can I go in? I have something to say to Leilei, is that okay? His phone is turned off and I can't get in touch, so I have to come here. I'm sorry."

Li Che had no reason to refuse, he took a step back and signaled Song Yuan to be free.

Song Yuan thanked Li Che, then walked in slowly, and after closing the door, he still stood by the door, not taking a step closer.

Yan Lei rubbed his eyes again, and looked up: "Li..." Before the word Che fell, he was stunned.

"Leilei." Song Yuan said softly, "I..."

"Who asked you to come?" Yan Lei's voice was rare indifference: "I told you, you, your family, don't come to disturb my life, why did you show up?" Without wearing it, he walked up to Song Yuan quickly: "What do you want? Do you think you don't get enough? I've already given you everything I have, what else do you want?!"

"Yan Lei!" Li Che was afraid that he would attack Song Yuan, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Song Yuan patted Li Che's shoulder, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, classmate, can I trouble you to avoid it for a while?"

"Why do you?" Before Li Che could speak, Yan Lei grabbed Li Che's arm and dragged him behind him.

Yan Lei exerted too much force. As soon as Li Che stood still, there was a faint sharp pain from the wound being torn from his knee.

"Leilei, I really have something to tell you." Song Yuan remained gentle.

Yan Lei did not hesitate: "But I have nothing to say to you, please leave."

"Leilei, I won't occupy you for too long, this matter is really important..."

"Politeness is useless to you, isn't it? Let me put it another way." Yan Lei stretched out his hand and opened the door: "Go away."

But Song Yuan didn't move.

Li Che didn't care about that anymore, he squeezed Yan Lei's hand tightly, pulled him to his bed which was closest to the door, and pressed his shoulder to let him sit down.

Song Yuan was still standing by the door.

"I'm sorry, Yan Lei doesn't want to see you, so it's inconvenient for me to invite you in." Li Che looked at Song Yuan, and said lightly: "If you really have something important, just talk about it now, I'm not You don't have to be wary of outsiders."

Yan Lei rested his head on Li Che's chest, facing out the window, without saying a word.

Song Yuan hesitated to speak, and said: "That news... has been suppressed. There are all kinds of revelations in the entertainment industry every day. It won't be long before people forget it. Don't be afraid. Dad said, if you want, he I can transfer you to another school..."

"And then he will go to that school to be behind the scenes?" Yan Lei chuckled lightly: "Let more people know that I am Song Zhicheng's illegitimate son?! My mother is the third party who meddles in other people's feelings, isn't she? The whole world knows, right?" Yan Lei turned his head and looked at Song Yuan, with a smile on his lips: "Song Yuan, don't forget, my mother is Song Zhicheng's first legal wife, what do you think? You can be the eldest son of the Song family, I have nothing to say, but you have made it clear to me, who is more suitable for the word illegitimate child?!"

Li Che held Yan Lei's hand, too shocked to say a word.

"I'm sorry, Leilei, I'm sorry." Song Yuan took a step forward, then backed away abruptly.

"Li Che, Li Che let him out, let him out." Yan Lei clutched Li Che's clothes, lowered his head, his knuckles were turning white.

It was useless for Li Che to stand, he just looked at Song Yuan quietly.

Song Yuan nodded, finally opened the door and walked out, his back was thin and lonely.

Yan Lei raised his head when he heard the door closing. He looked at the tightly closed door and felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

Li Che touched his hair, imitating Yan Lei's appearance last night, and said softly: "Yan Lei is not sad, I am with you, and I will be with you in the future..."

"No more." Yan Lei threw himself into Li Che's arms: "Just stay with me, and there is no need to say anything later. I don't have a mother, and I didn't have one many years ago."

Last night, Li Che made a wish, saying that Yan Lei must be happy.

But he didn't know that Yan Lei had never been happy.

He bit his lip and hugged Yan Lei tightly with all his strength.

He told himself that no matter what happens in the future, he will try his best to protect the big boy in his arms, and not let him suffer any more grievances.

They still sleep together at night.

The curtains were not drawn, and the night and stars were visible.

The moonlight shines in, and the air seems to be full of loneliness.

"Li Che." Yan Lei called out in a low voice.

"I'm here."

Yan Lei was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Am I being too greedy?"

"No." Li Che answered seriously.

"Why not? I really want too many things, too many..." Yan Lei smiled bitterly: "From childhood to adulthood, I don't seem to lack anything. My dad dotes on me very much and is used to everything. Looking at me, my mother is very strict, but she also loves me very much... I seem to, as if I really want something... Even, even if my mother is gone and my father brings another woman back, he is still used to it. Looking at me, that woman, and Song Yuan, they are all very gentle to me...

Why are they being gentle with me..."

Li Che kept stroking Yan Lei's hair, listening to him quietly.

"Actually, Song Yuan is really kind to me, he is really a...very good brother, but Li Che, I don't want any kind of brother, nor do I want another kind...stepmother.

I just want my mom back. "

"Yan Lei, none of this is your fault." Li Che said softly, "Everything is not your fault. If you don't want to accept their favors, then don't accept them."

Yan Lei closed his eyes.

The air returned to silence.

There are many secrets that he never opens his mouth to tell.

He has always acquiesced to the identity of that woman and Song Yuan, and never refuted it, because he didn't hate it.

However, he will be wronged.

He carried the criticism, gritted his teeth and accepted that he was the illegitimate child, and he alone carried the criticism of his mother from outsiders, without refuting or proving the facts.

He has done his best, but he can't be gentle with Song Yuan.

Later, Li Che asked Yan Lei if he had seen the news a long time ago, Yan Lei laughed heartlessly, and said yes, you still want to hide it from me?

But Li Che couldn't laugh, rubbed Yan Lei's hair and said seriously, "I won't hide it from you, I won't hide it from you again, but don't pretend anymore, you are obviously sad, why are you laughing?"How can you laugh?

Yeah, how can I laugh.
