Inheritance of Rebirth

1. Seven years

On December 2030, 12, the weather was gloomy and dry, and there were few people and cars on the street. Luo Chao didn't receive a single order for more than half an hour.Looking at his phone, it was almost three o'clock, and he turned around and drove home.

As soon as he entered the door, he knew that grandma was in trouble again today.

Because the temperature in the room is very low, there is a fragrance of laundry detergent, and there is also a bit of bitterness from the old north wind in December. It is obvious that the window was opened before to let the wind pass, and it has not been a short time.

In this case, the grandmother with dementia usually grabs the poop all over the bed again.

He looked towards the balcony, and sure enough, the two drying racks were fully set up.It's all from grandma's house: sheets, quilt covers, three quilts, and a few clothes.

Luo Chao sighed, and gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

Grandma was sleeping soundly on the tatami mats in half the room, snoring one after another.All the bedding on the couch has been replaced, and looking at the wall, there are a few large wet marks on the wallpaper.

Luo Chao closed his eyes tightly.

After closing the door and exiting gently, he turned around and knocked on the second bedroom door, but there was no response. His younger sister Luo Shan should go to school, and Luo Chao walked into the kitchen.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yuan Cheng was peeling noodles in the pot, and the other stove was warming mutton stew on a low heat.The aroma was bubbling, overflowing the warmth of the room, Luo Chao took a deep breath.

Yuan Chengshou didn't stop, didn't look back, he just settled down, "Wash your hands, you'll be fine soon."

Luo Chao washed his hands, looked at the clean cooking table, chopped garlic and chives in a small bowl, there was nothing to do.He hugged Yuan Cheng from behind, "Grandma is confused again."

"Well, blame me."

Yuan Cheng's tone was flat, "I asked Shanshan in the morning, and she said she wanted to eat shaozi noodles. When I went to buy meat, the old lady was still awake, and when I came back, the wall would be covered in paste."

"I'm sorry." Luo Chao lowered his head and pressed it against the back of Yuan Cheng's neck.

I can't count how many times, because I can move, sometimes my grandma will tear off the diapers because they think they are stuffy. If they just have a bowel movement and they don't find out to clean them in time, she will grab them out and spread them all over the place.

Yuan Cheng is obsessed with cleanliness. At first he was so sick that he vomited, but later he was able to tidy up quietly.

"What does it have to do with you?" Yuan Cheng's expression was calm, "Fortunately, the noodles were reconciled early in the morning, please rub them for me."

Luo Chao felt sad, and his arms tightened again before they let go.The person in his arms was too thin, and his face was ugly, with the tired look of driving all year round.

They first met in the hospital, Yuan Cheng had just finished the operation, but even then his complexion was far better than now.

"Shanshan went to school today?" Luo Chao kneaded the dough.

Yuan Cheng stirred the pot with chopsticks, and pushed the noodles away, "Well, I said I haven't had a headache for the past two days, and it's almost the end of the semester, so I'll go to school to review and mark the key points."

"Chengcheng, I'm serious, don't follow me through."

Luo Chao kneaded the dough vigorously, his voice was low, indescribably exhausted, "I have no head."

Yuan took over the dough he kneaded, "Is it seven years, I don't itch, you have to tickle me before you stop?"

"..."

"Chao, besides, I really beat you." Yuan Cheng threatened softly while continuing to cut the noodles.

Luo Chao didn't speak, and hugged him from behind again.The person in his arms was so thin that he seemed to be able to leave at any time, which made him feel dazed.

Thinking of Yuan Cheng's passionate pursuit when we first met, it's hard to imagine that this silent and withered person was once so passionate.And at that time they really thought that as long as they were together, no matter how difficult it was, they would be able to bear it.

Although the reality was slapped in the face later, they have hardly ever quarreled, let alone fought in seven years together.Because they both cherish each other very much, when they disagree, they will communicate and actively seek solutions.

Only this time, after the younger sister self-harmed, they had nothing to say.

Luo Chao didn't know what to say, he thought Yuan Cheng was probably disappointed.Coupled with the physical communication that had disappeared a year ago, life was depressed to despair.

Luo Chao knew that his accusation was unreasonable, because Yuan Cheng loved his sister even more than himself—he even insisted on working the night shift all the time, so he told his sister that he liked to eat the food cooked by Brother Yuan Cheng.

Luo Chao knew seven years ago that what Yuan Cheng wanted was very little - he never disliked his grandmother and sister, he has always taken care of the three of them, all he wanted was a private space with himself.

What Yuan Cheng wanted was to live a good life with himself, but life turned into an endless loop.

It's you who overestimate your own strength, Luo Chao, you love him, but you have no ability to make him live better.He gave you everything, but what did you give him?The quagmire status quo that cannot be broken out and cannot be changed, and there is no hope in sight.

He had never loved anyone like this, and he had never owed anyone this much.

He hated him, but didn't want to drag him down.

He said the words to let him go, but hugged him very tightly.

The tighter and tighter embrace made Yuan Cheng feel Luo Chao's struggle, he let go of his strength and leaned on Luo Chao's body, and after a while he said, "This life will be like this, if there is another life, we won't meet again .”

I'm so tired, I've used all my strength to live, and I'm so tired that it's even troublesome to breathe.

Of course, there is no next life.

Luo Chao's arms tightened when he heard this.He wanted to say, I will work hard, grandma will leave, Shanshan's illness will be cured, everything will be fine, give me a chance to make up for you...

However, after all, he just opened his mouth and said nothing.

Why do you let him suffer like this with you?Luo Chao, is it because you love him?
