Watching Zheng Li being sent to the ambulance, Lin Xiaodong turned to look at Manager Hu.

Seeing the frightened look of a group of people, he smiled calmly, waved his hands, and said relaxedly: "Goodbye, if I get kicked out one day, remember to leave me a private room in Wanxiao."

It was noon when Lin Xiaodong left, and the sun was shining on the street.

Humming a song, he strolled near No. [-] Middle School without knowing it.

Walking to the bulletin board at the school gate, I saw Lin Xiamian's photo as expected.

Look at the title of the column again, "Excellent students in morality, intelligence, physical education and beauty".

Good guy.

In the photo, the two idiots smiled brightly, and wrote a message to themselves:

"I wish I had a little more courage to be frank."

"I used to be a frequent visitor here." Lin Xiaodong looked at it for a while, and proudly said to the students next to him.

The two girls glanced at his flowery arms with disgust and fear, and walked away quickly.

Lin Xiaodong looked down at his arm.

In fact, more than half of the tattoo stickers on it have fallen off, but they were long-sleeved when working in Wanxiao before, and Gu Xi didn't seem to care whether he had tattoos, so he kept them until now.

Speaking of which, why did Gu Xi fall in love with him?

Lin Xiaodong thought about it, and it must be because of Lin Xiamian.

He looked up and saw his own reflection on the glass of the bulletin board.

The eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same as the boy in the photo, but his temperament is completely different.

No wonder Gu Xi looked at him last night, but Lin Xiamian's name came out of his mouth.

Lin Xiaodong didn't connect Gu Xi's confession with his new hair color at all. In his opinion, the man's behavior like this is completely rooted in love for his cheap brother.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, Lin Xiaodong looked down and found that it was Gu Xi who transferred 4000 yuan to him in WeChat.

Remarks: Buy a pair of pajamas.

Last time it was [-], this time it was [-].

It seems that the boss is planning to fight for a long time.

He tore the clothes himself, and Lin Xiaodong happily accepted them.

"White Moonlight~somewhere in my heart~"

He hummed a song, thinking that since he had received the money, he should be more dedicated as a substitute.

These days, a good double is a good double if you don't fight or grab it.

"Tell me, what excuse should I use?" Lin Xiaodong pondered, "If I rush to Gu Xi and tell him that I love him to the death, even if you treat me as my brother's substitute, I won't give up. Mind, he definitely won't believe it."

System: "Gu Xi has a big mansion in this city. It is said that no outsider can ever enter it. If you can let him take you there, the first stage may be considered a success."

The system is very calm now. Anyway, as long as you collect all the good people cards to complete the task, the rest is nothing to do with it.

In this crazy duel, it wants to see how far Lin Xiaodong can go.

After returning, Lin Xiaodong asked the system to open Lin Xiamian's biography.

The so-called biography of a character is, to put it bluntly, the memory of this person as the first perspective.In fact, he originally wanted to choose Gu Xi, but he was a little concerned about what Lin Xiamian wrote on the bulletin board of No. [-] Middle School, so he changed his mind in the end.

"Do you want to open the biography of 'Lin Xiamian'?"

"Yes."

Lin Xiaodong lay down on the bed according to the system's instructions, and closed his eyes.When it opened again, the scene in front of it had turned into a dilapidated small building.

This is Lin Xiamian's memory.

Before Lin Xiaodong figured out how many years it was, he heard a loud cry coming from "myself", a curse came from the next room, and a woman with disheveled hair was wrapped in a quilt and barefooted. Opening the door, he yelled in this direction: "Lin Xiaodong! Didn't I ask you to take good care of him?"

After the voice fell, a thin and small child came out of the kitchen.

He seemed to be only four or five years old, not even as high as the table. Hearing what his mother said, the child silently walked to his side, skillfully changed a diaper for him, and held the baby in his arms with difficulty. Put the pacifier in his mouth.

The woman complained a few more words in boredom, then turned around and went back to the room with the guest.

The moment the door closed, the child stopped moving.

He stretched out his hands expressionlessly, and placed them on "my" throat vainly, tightening his ten fingers little by little.

The feeling of suffocation from extreme hypoxia gradually came to his brain, Lin Xiaodong looked at the child above through Lin Xiamian's eyes, and even his heart stopped for a moment.

But in the end, the child slowly let go.

The scene changed.

Lin Xiamian grew up, went to elementary school, and went to and from school with her brother every day.

On the way home from school, he was carrying his schoolbag, holding his brother's hand, and in a childish voice, he was talking to his brother, who was only two grades older than him, about the interesting things that happened at school today, chirping like he was squatting on the road. A sparrow on a utility pole.

"No one in my class has an older brother," he said proudly, "Only I have one!"

"is it?"

"Yes," Lin Xiamian thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he had missed someone, "No, Da Wang also has an older brother, but he told us that he hated his older brother because he bullied him at home every day and robbed him of his snacks. .”

As he spoke, he showed a sympathetic look: "It's too pitiful. Fortunately, I have a good brother."

The boy who held his hand laughed.

"None of my classmates have younger brothers," he said from the bottom of his heart, "I really envy them."

"...Brother, what did you say?"

Lin Xiamian's attention was completely attracted by the chicken stalls on the side of the road, and she didn't hear the boy's words.

"It's nothing." The boy's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly covered it up.

He looked down at his younger brother beside him, and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Braised pork!"

Lin Xiamian cheered, jumped into the boy's arms, and kissed him big: "Long live brother!"

The screen changed again.

This time, both brothers have grown up.

Lin Xiamian was in the second year of junior high school, and Lin Xiaodong was promoted from the lowest junior high school in the district to the first middle school with the first grade in his age.

"Xiaodong, did the school give you a scholarship when the school started?"

In the middle of the night, Lin Xiamian got up from the bed in a daze, rubbed her eyes and went to the bathroom, but overheard the conversation between her mother and her brother.

Probably because the sons have grown up, the woman's temper has gradually eased. When Lin Xiamian came home from school, she could occasionally see her mother busy in the kitchen.

But facing the rare and gentle mother, the elder brother just lowered his head and gave a soft "hmm".

"Then can you lend me two thousand first?" The mother's expression was a little embarrassed, she whispered, "Xiaodong, you also know that mom is not in good health, and the medicines are too expensive now, and I can't afford them at all."

"……I have no money."

"Nonsense, I clearly saw a pile of money stuffed in the crack of your bed when I was packing things that day!" Mother raised her voice, but soon realized that her attitude was too severe, she lowered her posture and begged, "Xiaodong, mom It's not easy to know you, it's my mother's incompetence, I'm sorry, but I'm your mother after all, can you just watch me die?"

"That's the tuition fee for Xia Mian and I." His brother raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, don't say these words anymore, I'm tired of hearing them."

"You! You unfilial son, white-eyed wolf..."

Lin Xiamian slipped away before finishing listening.

The rental house was not big, and he and Lin Xiaodong had been sleeping on the same bed. When he returned to the house, he opened the bed and counted the money inside, no more, no less, exactly [-].

These are all saved bit by bit with the scholarship from him and his brother.

The door was closed, and Lin Xiamian raised her head abruptly.

It was his brother who came back.

"What are you counting?" His brother came over with a tired face, and fell on the bed. "Didn't it be agreed at the beginning that this money must not be given to her, otherwise our lives will be useless."

Lin Xiamian didn't speak.

Hearing the sobbing sound from the next door, he whispered after a while, "But brother, do I think we are being too unfair to my mother? We are her children, so we really can't leave her alone..."

"Then did she control us!"

Lin Xiamian was startled by his brother's sudden raised voice, and knelt on the bed in a daze, not daring to move.

After an unknown amount of time, his brother sighed, rubbed his head, and stuffed the money into his hand.

"Forget it, you can give her the money," he said calmly, "I will find a way about the tuition fee."

Only then did Lin Xiamian recover.

He was really frightened by his brother's expression just now.

"Brother, you are so nice."

He gave a big smile and ran out of the room with the money.

The mother who was crying with joy gave him a strong hug: "Xia Mian, you really love your mother the most..."

The next memory is in the hospital.

Lin Qiaoqiao was seriously ill in the hospital, and she couldn't do without someone to take care of her. In order to treat her, the family owed a large sum of money, and the creditor came to collect the debt every day. Lin Xiaodong and Lin Xiamian couldn't even leave the house, let alone go to school.

In desperation, the brothers decided to draw lots, and those who won the red lottery dropped out of school to work and take care of their mother.

"Mom, I..."

The boy walked into the bedroom, but saw that there was an extra signing box that should have been kept in his mother's hands.His eyes widened, and just as he was about to say something, the woman leaning against the bed "shushed" at him: "Hush your voice, don't let your brother overhear you."

He watched helplessly as his mother dropped the lottery box, so that no matter how much he drew, he would never win the red lottery.

"Your brother is soft-hearted, he won't say anything," his mother said to him, "Lin Xiamian, when you grow up, you must repay your brother well, do you hear? He only has you."

Lin Xiamian stared at the lottery box in her arms and was silent for a long time.

But he didn't say anything after all.

The last memory happened in the future of the original world line.

"Brother, do you really like him that much?"

The adult Lin Xiamian stood in the kitchen, staring at the figure in front of her bewilderedly.

As they grow older, the gap between the two brothers is getting wider and wider, not only in terms of education, status, and living environment, but even their appearance has undergone very obvious changes.

Now, no one will ever be able to tell them apart.

Because of dealing with people in the gray area for a long time, his brother has become more and more silent, with dark eyes, like a skinny vicious dog, who only occasionally shows a docile expression when he is beside Gu Xi; In school, with his outstanding academic ability and outstanding appearance, he is now a god-level associate professor who is popular on campus.

The person who was killing the fish stopped.

"Lin Xiamian," his voice was hoarse, in an attack on Gu Xi not long ago, his vocal cords were accidentally damaged in order to protect the man, "I come back once in a while, so stop talking about these unpleasant topics .”

But Lin Xiamian didn't seem to hear him, instead she took another step forward and put her arms around his waist.

"Brother," he put his face on the man's back, took a deep breath of the man's breath, and the words he said made the body in his arms tremble uncontrollably, "Give up, the person Gu Xi likes is Me, no matter how much you please him, even if you sacrifice your life for him, he will never look at you."

"To shut up!"

The man propped his hands on the chopping board and growled in despair.

"Why don't you admit it?" Lin Xiamian laughed softly when she saw that he was pushed to the limit by herself.He stretched out his hand, trying to hold the face similar to his own, but the other side avoided it with a look of hatred.

"Lin Xiamian," he said coldly, "I should have strangled you to death in your swaddling baby."

Lin Xiamian paused.

Immediately, instead of being angry, he smiled, picked up the bone-eviscer knife that was still stained with blood on the chopping board, and forcefully stuffed it into his brother's hand.

"You can do it now," he whispered in an encouraging tone, "As long as you kill me, there will be no 'Lin Xiamian's substitute' in this world, and from now on, you will be Gu Xi's only... "

The man's breathing gradually increased.

"Kill me, bro!" Lin Xiamian clenched his hand suddenly, ordering in a tone so excited that it was crazy.

A pulling force came from his wrist, and the man subconsciously passed the handle forward.

The tip of the knife pierced her abdomen, Lin Xiamian let out a muffled grunt, and slowly knelt down on the ground.At the end of his consciousness, he saw his brother knelt down and hugged him in panic, just like when he was a child, the good time when they only had each other...

Lin Xiamian closed her eyes contentedly.

Because he knew that Lin Xiaodong would come to accompany him soon.

In this life, he only allowed brother to look at him alone.

The biography of the characters ends here.

The system was silent for a long time without making a sound.

Although Lin Xiaodong had reminded it repeatedly before, after reading this memory, the system was still deeply shocked by Lin Xiamian's delicacy.

Even it itself feels that living in such a distorted family environment, it is simply impossible to become a good person with a pure heart and a kind heart! ?

But Lin Xiaodong couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

System: "What's so funny?"

"Don't you think it's very interesting?" Lin Xiaodong asked back with a smile, he could even think of Lin Xiamian's expression when he found out that he and Gu Xi were together in the future, it must be very exciting.

"My younger brother really didn't disappoint me."

Personally, I think Lin Xiamian is not love, but more like a spoiled child's paranoid occupation of his own possessions. Of course, everyone's understanding is different, please leave a message in the comment area~
