Xu Shanlan

Wang He put his hands on the back of his head, and said comfortably: "It's all right now, I don't worry if you two settle down soon, or else I will be worried for her after procrastinating."

Xu Shanlan sneered: "What does it have to do with you? What do you know?"

"Oh." Wang He straightened his back, "Why is it okay? You two are my good friends. If you break up in love, I will comfort someone then."

Xu Shanlan didn't understand: "What kind of good friend? It's obviously..." He wanted to explain that he was an elder, but fortunately he stopped talking in time and didn't confess Cong Zhanyi, so he waved his hands and ignored Wang He, as if he was going to lie down again on the table.

"Why aren't you a good friend? You are not, or Luo Yanan is not." Wang He said quite confidently.

Xu Shanlan felt something was wrong, and frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"Luo Yanan, isn't it because she likes you?" Wang He widened his eyes, suddenly saw Xu Shanlan's astonished expression, finally understood, and pointed to Xu Shanlan's nose, "Could it be... oh my god!" He sat back in the chair with a bang, and scratched his hair angrily, "It's not her who has been arguing for a long time, you see what happened!"

Xu Shanlan was very shocked, he didn't think about that at all, Luo Yanan was just his classmate all along, but he was cheerful, so he got along better.Wang He saw through it a little bit today, and everything in the past has changed. Looking at his eyes, the tone of his voice, and the way he brushes his hair around his ears with his fingers from time to time... He closed his eyes, his head was in a mess, why did everything go wrong? Got together?

Wang He patted the table: "Okay buddy, just pretend that I didn't say anything, just pretend that you don't know, what should we do? We'll continue to help Luo Yanan's house later."

Xu Shanlan panicked, he was most afraid of this, he stood up hurriedly and said: "Brother said to step up training, and the game is about to start." After speaking, he ignored Wang He and rushed outside the door.

Luo Yanan was cleaning the mop and walking back, when he saw Xu Shanlan running towards him, he asked, "Hey, aren't you going to my house today?"

Xu Shanlan didn't dare to look up at Luo Yanan's face, and stammered, "Something... something... I'm going first." Luo Yanan looked at his back, puzzled.

For several days, Xu Shanlan lived in panic. He was afraid that his senior brother would suddenly break into the house, and he was also afraid of facing his tablemate Luo Yanan, so he was in a trance all day long.Fortunately, Cong Zhanyi had already made up his mind to give the junior brother time to adapt to this sudden change, and urged him to practice martial arts as usual; and Luo Yanan seemed to have noticed something in Xu Shanlan's flickering eyes and evasive words. , never invited Xu Shanlan to her house again, but she was much more silent than before, and she smiled less.

As the days passed, Xu Shanlan gradually calmed down.Everything between him and Cong Zhanyi was as usual, as if what happened that day never happened.Xu Shanlan is such a person, and the method of boiling frogs in warm water is definitely suitable for him.Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not change easily, and he is unwilling to break away from the life he has long been accustomed to.He is afraid of change, because as long as he changes, he will lose something, and he doesn't have much in the first place.This kind of temperament was developed from an early age, since his mother took him out of the house to "change" to the jungle - that time, he lost his parents; from the jungle to "transform" him out of the fishing village to the city - that time , he lost several senior brothers; when Cong Zhanyi took him out of the Cong family to "transform" into the Yin family—that time, he lost his master and second senior brother... Xu Shanlan faintly felt that he was still afraid, and Compared with the changes in Cong Zhanyi's relationship, he is more afraid of losing.That feeling was too uncomfortable for him to bear.

Xu Shanlan would rather pretend to be stupid than live in such a chaotic way.If Cong Zhanyi didn't force him a little bit, if Cong Zhanyi let him continue to be ambiguous, there would never be an ending between the two of them.

It's a pity that Cong Zhanyi is not such a person. He has patience, perseverance, and a firm and strong temper. Once he makes up his mind, he will never let go.Cong Zhanyi has already taken Xu Shanlan under his wing, from the moment Xu Shanlan turned around without getting on the train; from the moment he lifted Xu Shanlan's quilt and almost raped him; From the moment he said without hesitation: "Lanzi follow me!"; or, from the moment many years ago, when he was in a completely strange city, on the deserted street, carrying his childhood From the moment Xu Shanlan walked with her...

He only has him, and he only has him. For so many years, so many years to come, nothing has changed.

Cong Zhanyi expected to give Lanzi about a month to calm down. He originally planned that after one month, there must be a result no matter what.But the world is unpredictable, even if Cong Zhanyi has a well-thought-out plan, he never expected that such a drastic change would happen at this moment.

When the phone rang, Xu Shanlan had already gone to sleep in his room - he had been unconsciously avoiding the elder brother for the past few days, and Cong Zhanyi didn't force him, so he just pretended not to know.Cong Zhanyi came out of the bathroom, casually wiped the water from his hair, and then heard the phone ring.

At that moment, Cong Zhanyi felt flustered and short of breath for no reason, almost suffocating.He pressed his chest and took a deep breath, frowning. Does he need to go to the hospital for a physical examination?While thinking, he picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, it was Yin Yi.Cong Zhanyi said, "Hello, Uncle Master."

It must be Yin Yi who called. Conglin never called Cong Zhanyi unless he had to. When peace affairs are always passed on the microphone.

Cong Zhanyi didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Yin Yi was angry with the old man and wanted to come home again - they would stage this kind of drama every once in a while.It's strange to say that Jungle served Yin Yi with good food and good food. Yin Yi was used to being pampered and didn't care about anything. The senior brother knew his temperament and matched his temper in every way, but he just couldn't get it together. go.One complained that the other was too old-fashioned, and the other disliked the other for being too smooth, so they quarreled. In fact, the matter might have nothing to do with them at all.After the quarrel, the uncle moved back to live, and in two days, Lin Lin would definitely come to the house—of course, he had to speak softly during the day when Cong Zhanyi was not at home, and the uncle would go there again.It's okay, it's noisy, it's not too noisy.

The three apprentices are used to it, no one persuades, no one pays attention, maybe the two of them find it quite interesting.Old children, old children, old children are like children.

Cong Zhanyi was thinking about asking Aunt Chen to tidy up Yin Yi's room, when the uncle's voice came from over there, his voice was very low, as if he was avoiding something, as oppressive as the dense dark clouds before the storm.He said, "Zhan Yi, I have something to tell you."

Yin Yi's voice trembled, he had never been like this before, the uncle in his impression was always calm, even when he quarreled with the jungle, he never said a serious word.Cong Zhanyi shivered, a very bad premonition welled up in his heart, he couldn't help but lower his voice, and said, "Master, tell me, I'll listen."

There was silence for a long time, only the sound of Yin Yi's breathing could be heard, as if he was desperately suppressing something, it was rapid but heavy.Cong Zhanyi's feeling of something bad was even stronger, he subconsciously straightened his waist, put one hand on the edge of the table, and repeated: "Master, tell me, I'm listening."

After a while, Yin Yi finally said: "It's your father, he..." Yin Yi took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "He's not feeling well recently, I took him to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said It's lung cancer, I suggest hospitalization."

Cong Zhanyi had already realized something when Yin Yi just said "I'm in poor health". When he heard the word "lung cancer", he closed his eyes tightly, and it took him a long time to open them again. He said, "I know Now, I'll take Lanzi to take a look." The tone was surprisingly calm and calm, "Tomorrow, tomorrow." Yin Yi hurriedly stopped him, "Your father doesn't know yet, don't pretend to let him notice come out."

Cong Zhanyi pondered for a while, and said, "That's good. Master, pay more attention to your body."

Yin Yi was speechless and hung up the phone silently.

Cong Zhanyi sat on the head of the bed without moving his place for a while. After thinking about it calmly, he made a dozen or so phone calls in a row, waking up many people from their sleep. The answer is not optimistic.Finally, I contacted the United States, and asked a friend to help contact the experts there, saying that the patient should be sent over for examination as soon as possible before making a conclusion.

This kind of thing can only be done like this, do your best to obey the fate, and now Cong Zhanyi realizes how little personal power is.You can have a wealth of wealth, but you can't match the word fate.Cong Zhanyi couldn't imagine that a tough, sturdy, and firm person like his father would be overwhelmed by illness one day.

Lung cancer is one of the cancers with the highest mortality rate in the world. It was discovered that it was at an advanced stage, and there was almost no cure for it... These news filled Cong Zhanyi's mind, making him terrified and exhausted.He pressed his forehead with one hand and propped it on the bedside cabinet, and the past scenes flowed before his eyes.When I was young, I rode on my father’s neck to watch open-air movies. I was beaten and punished by my father so painful that I couldn’t sleep overnight. When I was sick, I was hugged by my father and went to the county to see a doctor. Quarrels, conflicts, abandoned games, and ran away. ... Cong Zhanyi used to think that he didn't care about that person, he didn't care about the relationship with him that became more and more alienated, and eventually became a stranger.

But at the end of the day, Cong Zhanyi couldn't suppress the grief in his heart after hearing such news.

That person could be dying, lost, lost, never, ever again...

He is his father after all...

Cong Zhanyi lowered his head deeply, and buried his face in his broad palms, just like the jungle where he took Xu Shanlan away in anger and fell on the chair behind him, helpless.

Xu Shanlan got up early in the morning, changed his clothes and went to the yard to prepare for morning exercises. After waiting for a long time, Cong Zhanyi came out of the room.Cong Zhanyi has always been very punctual. No matter how late he was drinking and socializing the day before, even if he didn't come home until four or five o'clock in the middle of the night, he must get up at six o'clock to practice kung fu with Xu Shanlan, rain or shine.what is it today?Seeing the past ten minutes, there was still no sign of the elder brother.Xu Shanlan couldn't wait, so he ran upstairs to have a look.

He gently opened the door, and saw Cong Zhanyi sitting by the bed, still wearing pajamas, the bed was neatly made, as if he had been sitting like this all night.Xu Shanlan walked slowly to Cong Zhanyi's side and called out, "Elder brother?"

Cong Zhanyi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, he said, "Let's go see Master, he's sick."

Xu Shanlan's heart trembled. He saw that something was wrong with Cong Zhanyi's expression, and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"It's lung cancer."

Xu Shanlan gasped, and exclaimed in shock, "How could it be?!"

Cong Zhanyi wiped his face and stood up: "He doesn't know yet, let's go and find out."

"Oh." Xu Shanlan panicked for a while, and suddenly came to his senses, "I'll go change immediately."

The two changed their clothes and got into the car together without eating breakfast.Cong Zhanyi remained silent along the way, looking out the car window with a stern and serious face, without any emotional fluctuations.But Xu Shanlan still sensed the heavy sadness hidden deep in his heart from the flickering eyes of the elder brother.At this time, any words were feeble, and Xu Shanlan didn't speak. He pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and firmly held the elder brother's, as if he wanted to pour all his strength into it.

Cong Zhanyi didn't look back, and didn't look at Xu Shanlan, but his palms were clasped back with great force.The palms of both of them were aching, but the pain made people feel at ease for no reason.

No matter what lies ahead, I will be by your side and I will never leave.
