Huo Lei has been thinking about his elder brother's physical condition, but he dare not ask, for fear of hearing some bad news.

Huo Ming patted Huo Lei on the shoulder and asked, "Little Ah Lei, in the past four years in the United States, there is nothing wrong with your heart, right?"

Huo Lei nodded repeatedly, not daring to tell his elder brother, just yesterday, his heart had already protested twice.

Huo Ming is still worried, Huo Lei's character, he is clear, he usually doesn't talk much, and he announces good news but not bad news, he always handles things by himself.

Huo Ming squatted in front of Huo Lei, "Little Ah Lei, lift up your shirt."

Huo Lei's two long legs were originally propped carelessly on the ground. Seeing this, he quickly sat down properly and asked, "Brother?"

Huo Ming didn't explain, but tilted his head slightly, his knuckle fingers, one by one, patiently helped Huo Lei unbutton the shirt.

At the collarbone is Huo Ming's hot breath.

Huo Lei couldn't help breathing a little, he said awkwardly: "Brother, brother, I am no longer a child."

Before he finished speaking, his face was already slightly red.

Time goes back 18 years, he and the man in front of him, every day, don't they come here like this?

Feed in the morning and undress in the evening.

Now, he has grown up, but Huo Ming is old.

Huo Lei felt pain in his heart.

Huo Ming helped Huo Lei take off his shirt, folded it neatly, and put it aside.

Then, he knelt down on one knee, leaned forward slightly, and put his ear on Huo Lei's chest.

Huo Lei's breathing quickened suddenly.

He called out almost subconsciously, "Brother, don't, I'm sweaty and dirty..."

Halfway through the sentence, he regretted it.

For so many years, his elder brother pulled him up with shit and piss, when did he despise him?

Huo Ming's expression did not change, and he said softly, "Little Ah Lei, close your eyes."

"Inhale, exhale...adjust your breath."

Hearing these two sentences, Huo Lei's heart stopped.

Huo Lei didn't know if it was useful or not.

All he knew was that his own brother had been listening to his heartbeat almost superstitiously for 20 years.

It seems that in this way, the health of the younger brother can be determined.

Huo Lei followed what his elder brother said and tried to make his heartbeat sound normal, but he couldn't do it.

His heart beat uncontrollably.

Huo Ming frowned slightly, opened and closed his thin lips, and comforted softly: "Little Ah Lei, don't be afraid, brother is here, your heart is fine, come on, hold your breath, don't be afraid... "

Huo Lei's body trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, he did it, he managed to stabilize his heartbeat.

Huo Ming finally showed a calm smile, and gently rubbed his bare hands on Huo Lei's heart, as if praying silently.

"Please, okay, stop torturing my brother...he can't take it, huh?"

Huo Ming knew what kind of broken and fragile heart lay beneath his steel-like strong chest.

After all this was done, Huo Ming got up, but because he had stood for too long and got up too fast, he fell backwards as soon as a star appeared in front of his eyes.

Huo Lei's pupils constricted suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already hugged Huo Ming tightly, took him with him, and fell backwards on the bed.

"Huh-huh--" Huo Lei's panting was somewhat rapid, and he asked anxiously, "Brother, are you alright?!"

Huo Ming had already slowed down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he patted Huo Lei's sturdy shoulder, "Good boy, brother is fine."

"Little Ah Lei... has grown up..."

For some reason, when Huo Ming said this, Huo Lei seemed to see a trace of silence on his face.

Huo Lei nodded: "Well, I have grown up, I can... protect my brother."

Huo Ming stood up and finished, facing the vast sea outside the window, he said blankly:

"So soon, you are already 22, and my brother always treats you like the old one, who will only act like a baby in my arms, crying for mom and dad's child."

Huo Ming asked: "Little Ah Lei, does brother treat you like this...would it make you feel awkward?"

Huo Lei admitted that if someone else dared to get so close to him, he would have stepped up and kicked that person away.

But if it's the eldest brother, he's really... really a little, inexplicable, unexplainable.

He could only say, "I don't know either."

Huo Ming has a younger brother and four children, but among the five, Huo Lei was the only one who grew up with him step by step.

The reason is simple. When Huo Lei was born, he almost died on the operating table because of a severe congenital heart disease.Huo's mother died of dystocia, and not long after, Huo's father also passed away.

At the most difficult time in his life, Huo Ming pinned all his thoughts on his parents on his newborn brother who was 20 years younger than him because of his illness.

Ziyu still has his parents, but what about Huo Lei?

As the eldest brother himself, if he is ignored, Huo Lei will be almost like an orphan.

After years of companionship, Huo Ming discovered that his younger brother was different from his four children, and he couldn't quite tell what the difference was exactly.

Probably, he always felt that Huo Lei was actually the most affectionate one.

Huo Lei accompanied him through the most difficult years, and because of this, the family affection for Huo Lei was the most difficult to part with.

Huo Ming's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he finally recognized the reality.

Xiaolei has grown up and no longer needs his protection, and is even stronger than him.

"Little Alei," Huo Ming said, "you come back from further studies, would you like to work in the Huo Group?"

The younger brother's life should still be chosen by him. As an older brother, no matter how close he is, he can't make the decision for him.

Huo Lei suddenly remembered the words he heard at the door of the office room.

Huo Lei shook his head and said, "Brother, I have my own ideas, and I want to try to start a business."

Huo Ming was greatly moved. At least, such words full of pride and confidence were unlikely to be heard from the eldest son.

"Okay, go do what you want, don't worry, brother will always be your backing."

"En." Huo Lei nodded, "Brother, I will definitely not let you down."

Huo Ming smiled and said nothing.

Where there is no disappointment, his greatest wish for Huo Lei is to hope that he can be healthy and happy.

Don't follow your own old path and work hard for half your life. In the end, you lose both.
