Prison Bird [GL Suspense Reasoning]

The cold wind is raging, but the strong New Year flavor of the city has not been reduced in the slightest. The old people who sell candied haws on the street wear furry hats, and there is joy in the corners of their eyes and brows. Holding the string in their hands, the balloons swayed with the wind, laughing and laughing, all peaceful and warm.Lu Xizhan was in it, experienced all of this, but was repelled by all of it, she was like a spectator with cold eyes, watching the harmony of others from a distance, admiring the so-called New Year in their eyes.

Across the door, she heard crying from inside, and it wasn't until Meng Liuchen, who was curled up in the corner with a disheveled hair, came into her eyes, that she realized that she had always cared about this younger brother who was half of her own blood from the bottom of her heart.Even though he has been accused more than once of being worthless and not seeking to make progress, but if someone he really cares about tears in front of him, he will never feel a little bit distressed.

He was like a poor child who was criticized by his parents, his eyes were red from crying, and he threw himself into her arms. Worse.

Lu Xizhan didn't push him away, but she didn't want to put her hands where they should be, and stretched her fists stiffly forward.

"Sister, I feel so stupid."

"When I first returned to China, my father said that I would not be able to become a big climate in the future. He said that I was not as smart as you and elder brother. I was not like his son at all. Let’s talk about me, since he was a child, he hasn’t fulfilled his father’s responsibility for a day, and he hasn’t even had a good meal with me, so why should he hurt me with such words?” He cried very sadly, with tears on his face. On the thick eyelashes, Lucy's clothes were wet, "I really want to prove to him, although I always look foolish, but I really want to prove to him that I am not the trash he said."

Hearing this, Lu Xizhan's stiff hand finally slowly placed on his back, and patted him lightly twice.

"Sister, do you know that sometimes I really envy you, you are so smart, you know everything, but I can't even pass the CFA exam, I'm like a fool when I'm with you, I can only be your foil forever..."

Lu Xizhan herself is not a person who loves to cry, nor is she a person who is good at listening to other people's complaints. In her eyes, Meng Liuchen, as a man, should have his own responsibilities, be strong and brave, work hard and make progress, even if he is defeated. She had to swallow her teeth hard, because he was her younger brother, and he shouldn't embarrass her.At this moment, she was hugged by him, and she was also given his own embrace. Hearing his heartbroken cries, her thoughts were unknowingly pulled back to a long time ago, pulling out a period that was sealed in her memory, but never. A past that will be forgotten.

She slowly pulled him away, not caring about being clean, and directly wiped the teardrops on his cheeks with her fingertips. She looked into his eyes, as if she saw herself a long time ago: "Actually, I am not born smart. In college In the eyes of some people, my success stems from my high IQ, but only I know that I work harder than everyone else."

Meng Liuchen nodded: "I know that success requires hard work, but sister, do you know that in order to pass this exam and impress my dad, I have only slept for three hours a day for half a month. My aunt told me before However, as long as I work hard to do one thing, I will be able to do it, but I feel that I am really stupid, no matter what I do, I will never escape a failure. I don’t even know that my sadness is because there is no way To prove myself to my father, or to live up to my own efforts... I don't understand why my friends can do it, but I can't! It's not fair!"

She took his hand, pulled him to sit next to the sofa, and put her arms around his shoulders so that he could lean against her comfortably.This was the first time she felt that she was so close to him.Maybe it's distance, maybe it's heart.

"During the first exam in elementary school, many students in the class got full marks in the exam, but I failed both homework. I didn't dare to tell my mother, so I showed my brother the test paper. My brother told me, you have to be serious. Listen to the class, write homework carefully after returning home, review carefully, and there will be improvement next time. So, before the second exam, I did a lot of hard work that I thought was enough, but I still failed. In my memory, I shed tears one of the few times. When I was very young, I was often praised as a child prodigy by the adults around me. There is an inherent arrogance in my bones, and I may accept it. I fail because of lack of effort, but I can't be comfortable with the fact that I tried and failed."

"That day was the darkest day in my teenage years, second only to my mother's death. My brother just came to help me wipe my tears every once in a while, without criticizing me or comforting me , I don’t know how long it took, he came out of the kitchen, holding pancakes in his hand, it was hot, I didn’t even care about my own image, I ate it big mouthfuls while holding the plate, because only that would make me feel bad My mood was temporarily calmed down. After eating, he patted my head and said to me, now that you are full, you can cheer up and continue to work hard." Speaking of this, Lu Xizhan paused, She held Meng Liuchen's hand even tighter.

"I have eaten a lot of delicacies since then, but nothing compares to the cake he personally baked for me that day."

Meng Liuchen looked at her and shed tears silently. In his eyes, his sister who was perfect and impeccable had this experience before?

"After that, I have never been depressed again, no matter what happened. Because I know that being smart is just a gift from God, and the real success has always depended on hard work. Others can only see that I am in various situations. This kind of pride of winning an award in a competition. I only see the scenery when I was admitted to a famous foreign school, but I don’t know how much I have paid for it. I have no holidays, no happiness, and even no childhood. If Lu Shuye hadn’t branded that for me Cake, I might not be who I am now, so I miss him, miss him, and love him, not only because we two are siblings who depended on each other after my mother died, but also because he changed my life."

"Liu Chen, maybe you are very envious and unwilling when someone else succeeds, thinking that this success should belong to you who worked equally hard, but what you don't know is that the person who seems to have achieved success easily sleeps more than you every day. How much less. I understand your despair at the moment, but the lovely thing about this world is that it will let you know at the right time, and it always grants fairness invisibly. Smart and astute people will not succeed if they don’t work hard People with mediocre IQs can succeed through hard work. What it bestows and sows can be called fairness, and it can also be called hope. It is precisely because of this hope that people who are not so smart by nature will not despair of this world. As for letting the story of 'Shang Zhongyong' repeat itself again and again." She rubbed his hair and said patiently, "Maybe you will complain that the test questions are not so perfect, but think differently, a person who has really made all the preparations, No matter which test questions you face, you can hand in a perfect answer, and you will not give the questioner a chance to stumble you. I have worked hard for more than 20 years, and there is no day when I feel that my knowledge is so profound that I can put down the book in my hand, because I don't want to encounter any possibility of defeating me, I must completely eliminate it at the beginning of its germination."

He raised his head and stared into her eyes. At this moment, he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart. Maybe the emotion had already annihilated the depression.He called her because he wanted his sister who had always treated him harshly to wake him up, but he didn't expect that she not only came to the house to find him, but also said so many thoughtful words to him.He used to think that Lu Xizhan would never be able to get close to him like he was close to Lu Shuye. In fact, his mind was too narrow. The woman in front of him, no matter how poisonous her mouth is on weekdays, but when he really needed her, she would never Reaching out without hesitation, giving the warmth and strength she has.

"Sister, do you really think I can do it?"

"Liu Chen, in this world, except for feelings, there is nothing you can't get through unremitting efforts, as long as you really want it."

In fact, he was not so sad anymore, but he still pretended to say: "Then what if I work hard and still can't get it?"

Lu Xizhan raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "Then I'll bake you a cake."

Hearing this, Meng Liuchen finally swept away the gloom and laughed out loud. He hugged her tightly, thinking that it was good to have such a sister around: "Sister, why are you willing to be so nice to a younger brother who is only half blood related?"

"When I was so disappointed with my relatives, you came to my side, who has the farthest relationship with you. Therefore, when you need to lean on the most, my shoulder also belongs to you."

Meng Liuchen was very moved. He has been in a weak position in the relationship with Lu Xizhan for a long time. Lu Xizhan has never said such heart-warming words to him. He shook her shoulder like a puppy. She said coquettishly, "Sister, I love you, give me a hug."

Lucifer quickly got up from the sofa as if avoiding the virus: "I can't bear your love."

"It doesn't matter if you can't bear it, as long as I know that you love me very much."

"Then you can only wait for the next life. My love in this life has been reserved in advance."

"Who is it!" Meng Liuchen said angrily, "No one is allowed to rob my sister!"

Seeing that he was recovering well, Lu Xizhan was about to speak when a bell rang.She proudly shook her phone at Meng Liuchen, saying that the caller was the one who took her love away.She didn't shy away from going to the study, but directly pressed the answer button.The clear and warm voice came, soaking her heart like a lake.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'm here at Liuchen, um, okay, come here directly after you get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xizhan resumed her original voice and said, "You stay at home, I'll go out and buy some ingredients."

"Sister, you don't even ask me if there is any food at home."

"A person who can't even clean up the most basic hygiene, do I need to have any confidence in the fact that you cook by yourself every day?"

"Then at least ask me what I like to eat. Aren't you going to eat here tonight?"

Lucy glanced at him: "Of course, you can eat whatever I do. Are you still picky?"

"Yes, I'm a picky eater. I don't eat ginger, green onions, coriander, or onions! Look, you don't even know me." Meng Liuchen said angrily, where did the sister who was so gentle and charming like a sun goddess go? up.Why did he become so cold and obnoxious again just after answering a phone call.

"Then I will definitely remember to put more ginger."

"It's not fair! Why are you talking so softly to Sister Yixia, just like me!"

The corners of Lucy's lips curled up, and she didn't intend to explain further.One of the most irritating things in winter is whether long hair is prone to static electricity. She stretched out her hand to smooth her hair, sliding her slender fingers like slicing onion roots, bringing out a faint fragrance of hair, which made Meng Liuchen feel refreshed.He has always known that Lu Xizhan is beautiful, but in terms of beauty alone, she is actually no match for Jiang Xiage. The reason why she is so attractive is because her supernatural temperament and exquisite facial features complement each other, making her look different. She looks like a person living in the mortal world, but she looks like a lotus flower that can be seen from a distance and can't be played with, like a fairy who is not stained with the world.

"Sister, let me go with you. Help you carry your things."

"Yixia is already on her way, she doesn't have a key, you stay at home and open the door for her."

"Okay, but you must not buy ginger."

Lu Xizhan nodded and walked towards the door. Meng Liuchen narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I know you are still good to me."

Lu Xizhan turned around and said without expression: "You may have misunderstood. Yixia doesn't like ginger."
