Ashes in the crematorium

Almost fled.

Li Ran who fled back to the bedroom leaned against the door, panting deeply.

It took a while to calm down, after Li Ran adjusted, he lifted the quilt and got in.

He thought that he was destined to have trouble sleeping that night, but he didn't expect to sleep deeply in the end. When he opened his eyes, it was dawn.

Li Ran got up and prepared to make breakfast, but when he got to the kitchen, Chi You was already inside.

Li Ran who was standing at the door didn't stop or leave, because Chi You had already seen him, so Li Ran couldn't pretend nothing happened.

There is only one feeling in my heart, embarrassment.

"Are you awake?" Chi You spoke first.

Li Ran hummed.

Chi You then handed over a glass of milk, and Li Ran caught it. He lowered his head and didn't look at Chi You, but Chi You's eyes seemed to be glued to Li Ran.

"Have you thought about it yet?" Chi You asked suddenly.

Hearing Chi You's words, Li Ran sighed silently.

"Let me think about it again."

Li Ran once again fell into the ostrich mentality.

Procrastinate as long as you can.

Chi You didn't say anything, but Li Ran looked at his expression carefully, and could guess that he was not very happy.

But so what if he is unhappy, Li Ran is really not ready.

Ready to accept another person.

On the way to work, the two of them were relatively silent, Li Ran could only pretend to be playing with his mobile phone to resolve the embarrassment in the air.

Li Ran told Li Jialin what happened last night.

He asked Li Jialin on WeChat: How do you say I should reject him without hurting him?

Li Jialin: I think he is very good, isn't he?You are not going to try?

Li Ran: That's easy to say.

Li Jialin: What's wrong with him?

What Li Jialin asked stumped Li Ran, he frowned and thought deeply.

What's wrong with him?

Li Ran thought for a while, then replied: There is nothing wrong with him.

It's just that I don't have a heartbeat, and Chiyou takes good care of him, and it's very relaxing to stay with him.

However, his heart just couldn't beat.

Li Ran is like an old unmarried leftover fighter, Li Jialin is an old mother who keeps urging marriage, and Chi You is a satisfied and perfect marriage partner.

He kept praising in front of Li Ran, how excellent this young man is, how good he is.

But Li Ran was unmoved after all, but the old mother was terribly worried.

Li Ran looked at one message after another and felt a little headache, so he could only turn off the phone. Now, the world was finally quiet.

During this time, Li Ran's heart has been on work, he likes being busy.

Because when he is busy, it can keep him from thinking wildly.It also makes time go by quickly.

But most of the time, some irritable things disturb him, making him in a state of mental tension all the time.

Li Ran saw Li Xiao when he got off work.

Li Xiao was wearing a black down jacket, hunched over, and had a cigarette in his hand.

Even if it's not frontal, Li Ran can tell from his posture that this person is Li Xiao.

The moment he saw Li Ran, Li Xiao threw away the cigarette in his hand, then walked towards Li Ran quickly with big strides.

"Li Ran!" Li Xiao spoke first, and called out familiarly.

When Li Ran heard it, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"What are you doing here?" Li Ran asked coldly.

"I'm here to see you." Li Xiao pretended not to see Li Ran's cold face, and said with a smile.

"I don't have any money for you." Li Ran couldn't be more clear about Li Xiao's purpose for coming here.

"Brothers, talking about money hurts feelings. I just came to see you. We haven't seen each other for many years." Li Xiao looked disappointed, and people who didn't know thought that the relationship between their brothers was so good.

"Are you working here?" Li Xiao put his eyes on the building behind Li Ran, and sighed.

"I knew you kid must be very promising."

Chi You was also by Li Ran's side, he looked at the two and speculated about their relationship.

This man should be Li Ran's brother, but no matter how it looks, Li Ran seems to hate him very much.

He had heard Li Ran say before that he had no brothers, and felt...something was wrong.

Li Ran said to Chi You, "I still have something to do, you should go back first."

But Chi You didn't leave, and he didn't want to leave either. Instead, he asked, "Who is he?"

Li Ran didn't want to introduce Li Xiao's identity because it was embarrassing, and he even thought viciously that it would be great if this person didn't exist in this world.

Before Li Ran could speak, Li Xiao spoke first, "Hi, I'm Li Ran's elder brother, my name is Li Xiao, you are colleagues, right?"

"Yes, we are colleagues." Chi You said.

Li Ran didn't want to talk to Li Xiaoduo, he gave Li Xiao a cold look, and walked away without saying a word.

Li Xiao managed to find and beat Li Ran, how could he let him go so easily.

He grabbed Li Ran's arm and said anxiously, "Li Ran, can you forgive brother?"

The hand that tightly grasped Li Ran's wrist was like a python clinging to a cold python. The icy touch made Li Ran feel a terrible chill in his heart.

"Go away!" Li Ran struggled hard, breaking free from Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao didn't expect Li Ran's reaction to be so strong, and his fingertips still hurt slightly, which shows the degree of anger in Li Ran's heart.

"Brother has been educated and changed his mind. I will definitely not be the same as before. Can you forgive me?" Li Xiao lowered his posture and almost begged.

Li Ran looked at him like this, and wanted to laugh.

When his father was still there, Li Xiao used this deceptive appearance to deceive his father.

Now he is repeating his tricks to deceive him.

But he is not as easy to deceive as his father.

"Don't come to me in the future. I don't have a brother like you, and I won't give you a penny. You don't have to sell yourself in front of me."

Li Xiao's expression changed slightly, and panic flashed in his eyes for a moment, "You can't do this, we are blood brothers, broken bones and connected muscles, as long as I don't die, I will be your brother forever."

Li Ran sneered, "You are not my brother, I will warn you one last time, don't come to me again, you will only waste your time, I will not give you money."

Li Ran spoke seriously, not as a joke, and Li Xiao also saw it.

He put away the pitiful expression on his face, his eyes widened with anger, and returned to his old rascal, shouting in a hoarse voice, "You kid forgets your roots if you have money, right? Let me tell you, I am your brother, I've been your brother all my life! You fucking heartless little bastard..."

Li Xiao came out to hang around before finishing junior high school, and he used all kinds of curse words without repetition, and his voice was so loud that people passing by all looked at them as if they were watching the excitement.

With an indifferent expression, Li Ran quietly looked at him and scolded him.

Scold it, scold it, whatever you want.

He doesn't feel ashamed, so he should be ashamed too.

Li Ran could have scolded Li Xiao like a shrew, or just punched Li Xiao without talking nonsense.

But he didn't do that, the people passing by all looked at him, looked at Li Xiao, those scrutinizing and curious eyes made Li Ran feel difficult to breathe, like an invisible hand, ruthlessly restraining him throat.

He thought he could ignore it and pretend he didn't hear it, but in the end, Li Ran found that he couldn't do it at all.

He couldn't be like Li Xiao, making jokes without scruples, sitting on the ground, cursing obscenities, and attracting strangers to watch in a funny way.

Even more impossible, let the passers-by who watched the show help to judge.

Li Ran couldn't help laughing.

His brother, dear brother, what kind of weirdness is he?

Why should the same blood be shed on them.

Li Ran wanted to run, wanted to leave here, but Li Xiao's appearance disrupted his life.

Li Xiao wants to be a clown.

But he doesn't want to.

I study desperately, earn money desperately, just want to leave that family, leave that mountain village, and leave Li Xiao.

But everything Li Xiao did was like a hard slap on his face.

This slap reminded him.

impossible.

Li Ran raised his head and looked at the faces of strangers around him, they gathered more and more, forming a circle, surrounding Li Ran and locking him inside.

These unfamiliar faces gradually blurred, Li Ran was in a daze, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes, looked around vigorously, his vision was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, Li Ran heard a buzzing sound, and even Li Xiao's curse words could not be heard.

Li Ran vaguely saw a blurry shadow rushing towards him, Li Xiao's cursing voice turned into a cry for help.

The word "help" became the word he uttered the most.

The vision is no longer blurred, and the ears are no longer buzzing.

Li Ran woke up, and hurried to pull Chi You who was twisted with Li Xiao.

Li Ran was very worried about Chi You at this time, and based on his understanding of Li Xiao, he would definitely blackmail Chi You for this matter.

Chi You's fist was stained with Li Xiao's blood, the corner of Li Xiao's mouth was bleeding, and a broken tooth was lying on the ground. While protecting his bruised and swollen face, he shouted, "I want to sue you, I want to call the police, I will I will put you in jail!"

Chi You was not threatened by Li Xiao, he was gearing up and wanted to hit him.

Li Xiao panicked when he saw it, and his threatening voice became smaller and smaller.

Passers-by who were watching a play stopped Chi You and tried to persuade him not to be impulsive.

Later, whoever called the police, a police car came and took the three of them away.

As a result, Chi You lost some money, wrote a letter of apology, and under the mediation of the family police, the matter was settled.

But Chi You was not satisfied, he stayed at the police station and refused to leave.

"I don't care! I don't accept it, I want mental damage."

When Li Xiao opened his mouth, it was called by the lion. The police originally wanted to pay some medical expenses and close the case, but Li Xiao would not let him go.

After checking the record of this person, everything is clear, and the criminal record is so large that it can be published in a book.

The police could only give a final warning, "I remind you, if you continue like this, I will detain you for extortion!"

Hearing what the police said, Li Xiao was immediately scared, and never dared to mention the mental damage fee again.

Chi You was implicated because of himself, Li Ran felt very sorry, and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Now that he made a move, Chi You thought of this result.

"It's okay, except that the apology letter makes me unhappy, it's quite refreshing to beat him, and it has the effect of releasing stress."

After the incident, Chi You couldn't figure out how Li Ran, a sheep-tempered person, could have such a rascal elder brother.

"Next time, don't be so impulsive." Li Ran said.

But Chi You didn't listen, "If he behaves like this next time, I'll beat him up."

Chi You's words warmed Li Ran's heart, it was impossible not to be moved.

"Thank you." Li Ran said in a low voice.

The voice was a little low, like a mosquito, but Chi You still heard it, and he raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

After leaving the police station, Li Ran stopped a taxi, Li Xiao saw it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly followed it.

Chi You saw that this man was helplessly haunted and seemed to want to get into their car, so he said harshly, "Try taking a step closer!"

The place Chi You beat up just now was still hurting, Li Xiao felt a little trembling when he saw him, he stared at Li Ran with all his strength, but he didn't dare to go forward because of Chi You.

He could only stop at the same spot, and looked at Li Ran with pleading eyes, "Li Ran, where are you going, please give me a ride, brother, I just came here, I don't know the place where I live, and I don't even have a place to stay... ..."

Chi You was amused by Li Xiao's look of a pitiful little white rabbit. This man is so interesting, like a face-changing Sichuan opera, he told him to be careful at the beginning, but now he almost cried like Lin Daiyu.

Li Ran was unmoved, and cast a cold look without warmth, and then said two words, "Drive."

The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, and after the car started, he quickly distanced himself from Li Xiao behind him. Li Ran looked at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye, and saw Li Xiao in the rearview mirror, opening and closing his mouth quickly, with an angry expression.

No need to guess, Li Ran must have been warmly greeted by Li Xiao again.

Chi You stuck his head out of the car window and couldn't help grinning. It was rare to see such a strange thing, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

The taxi turned a corner and drove into the corner, but Li Xiao's figure was out of sight, and Chi You stuck his head in.

He turned his head to look at Li Ran, and saw that his expression was strangely calm, without anger or sadness, as if this was just a very common thing.

Li Xiao is very proficient in cursing people, guessing based on his shamelessness, it may not be the first time, but Li Ran's overly calm appearance gives people a look that I have long been used to.

Thinking of this, Chi You couldn't laugh immediately.

Chi You thought that Li Ran must be feeling uncomfortable at this moment, and he silently organized words of comfort later in his heart.

"Let's eat Thai food later, shall we?" Li Ran suddenly said with a smile.

What Chi You was about to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak immediately.

After a pause for several seconds, I finally realized, and said yes slowly.

"I know that there is a restaurant that serves more authentic Thai food, but it is from far away." Li Ran said again.

"It's okay, I'll listen to you."

"Master, let's change the road to Haiyun Road."

"Okay." The master responded, turned on the turn signal, and turned over the front of the car.

When they arrived at Haiyun Road, Chi You followed Li Ran all the way.

"I have eaten several Thai dishes, but none of them are very authentic. This one is the most authentic one I have ever eaten, because the proprietress here is a Thai..."

Li Ran talked a lot today, he kept talking with a smile on his face.

Seeing the chattering Li Ran, Chi You became silent instead.
