The young man who called Li Xinyun was handsome in appearance. Although he was tall, his facial features still had a bit of childishness, and there was a kind of vigor and vigor unique to young people in his demeanor.

Li Xinyun looked at him and was stunned.

Because he is no stranger to Li Xinyun.

This boy is the biological child of Li Xinyun's adoptive parents and Li Xinyun's younger brother.

Li Peifeng.

"Li..." Li Xinyun almost called out Li Peifeng's name subconsciously, and finally stopped, froze the tip of his tongue, turned his mouth with difficulty, and asked preemptively, "Who are you?"

Li Peifeng was still in a state of shock. He looked at Li Xinyun, as if he wanted to go forward but didn't dare to go forward. He stammered and asked, "You...you...are you a ghost?"

"I'm human." Li Xinyun said, probably because he had already met Jiang Xingyu, an old friend. Facing Li Peifeng, Li Xinyun could barely put on a very calm look, and asked nonchalantly: "Why do you ask such a question?" ? Why do you call me brother?"

"Ah... that's right, no ghost would come out in broad daylight," Li Peifeng heaved a sigh of relief, but looking at Li Xinyun's face, "Then who are you? Why do you look so similar to my brother? And you are in my brother's house." What were you doing sneakily before?"

"Your brother you're talking about... is Li Xinyun?" Li Xinyun asked.

Li Peifeng asked in confusion, "How do you know?"

"Do you know Jiang Xingyu?" Li Xinyun asked.

Li Peifeng thought for a while, and then said: "It seems to be a friend of my brother, she has been to my brother's funeral."

Next, Li Xinyun fooled around with Li Peifeng, saying that he met Jiang Xingyu by chance, and heard that she had a friend who looked very similar to him, so he was very curious.He said that he once heard from his parents that he had a twin brother who had been lost since he was a child, so he wanted to come and see if Jiang Xingyu's "friend" might be his lost brother.

Although Li Xinyun's excuse was very absurd, Li Peifeng was only a teenager after all, with little experience and a very simple mind, so he had no doubts about Li Xinyun's words. He believed Li Xinyun's words very easily, and then said: "I am Li Xinyun's younger brother Li Peifeng. But it's a pity, my brother has already..."

"Miss Jiang has already told me about your brother... It's just that I still want to go to the place where he lived. Is it possible?"

"If you want to see it, just watch it. I'm also here today to take a look." Li Peifeng stepped forward, lowered his head and opened the lock of the rolling gate. Li Xinyun helped him push up the rolling gate, and then pushed open the glass door inside.

Because there was no one there for a long time, when the door was opened, a cloud of dust rushed towards him, causing Li Xinyun to cough twice.The room was very dark, Li Xinyun subconsciously pressed the switch at the door, and the light in the middle of the room flickered a few times before turning on.

When the lights came on, Li Peifeng glanced at Li Xinyun, Li Xinyun smiled and said, "It's a bit dark."

Li Peifeng did not become suspicious of Li Xinyun's actions, after all, it is not uncommon for the light switch to be placed at the door.Li Peifeng lifted the dustproof cloth on the sofa and said, "Please sit down for a while."

"Thank you," Li Xinyun said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, you can go to your business first."

"Then sit down for a while, I'll go and have a look in my brother's bedroom."

Li Xinyun's house is a combination of living and working. It's not big. It only has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The living room was set aside by Li Xinyun as a working area. Because of the poor lighting, the lights had to be turned on all day long.Opposite the sofa where Li Xinyun is sitting is Li Xinyun's desk, which is also covered with a dustproof cloth. On the wall behind the desk is an acrylic board with the words "Sincere Information Consulting Co., Ltd." The strokes of the words have been blurred.

Li Xinyun walked towards his desk.

Lifting off the dust-proof cloth, Li Xinyun randomly placed folders, record books, and water cups on the desktop. Although they were messy, they were all Li Xinyun's habitual positions. There was even a sticky note on the file shelf that said the meeting time with the new client. The paper is still there, and nothing seems to have changed.

But one thing disappeared.

his laptop.

Li Xinyun's heart trembled.

At this time Li Peifeng came out of the bedroom, saw Li Xinyun standing in front of the desk, and asked suspiciously: "Sir?"

Li Xinyun frantically put the dustproof cloth back on, and said, "I just took a look, I wanted to see if there were any photos or something."

"My brother doesn't like taking pictures very much. It seems that he doesn't have any other photos except the ones from his childhood." Li Peifeng said.

"It's okay." Li Xinyun said, remembering the laptop that was missing on the table just now, and asked tentatively: "But it seems that this place hasn't been cleaned up for a long time?"

Li Peifeng sighed and said: "My brother's accident happened so suddenly. My mother and I were in a daze for a long time, and we didn't have the energy to pack my brother's things. We just covered up the furniture and were busy. I went to attend the funeral, but I didn’t come to clean up afterward.”

Li Xinyun was puzzled, if his adoptive mother or Li Peifeng didn't take away his computer, who else could it be?

Could it be that Lin Jing was the one who photographed first, even if he killed Li Xinyun, it was not enough to ensure that the evidence was completely destroyed?But Li Xinyun couldn't directly ask Li Peifeng if he had seen his computer.

Li Xinyun was a little dazed thinking, Li Peifeng called him again, Li Xinyun came back to his senses, smiled apologetically at Li Peifeng, and asked again: "But what are you doing here today?"

It may be because the person in front of him looks "like" Li Xinyun, and Li Peifeng is almost unsuspecting of him. Li Peifeng will answer whatever Li Xinyun asks: "This house belongs to my brother. My brother left. Originally, my mother wanted to let him go." Let’s leave it alone, but recently there is news that this place is going to be demolished. My mother wants to come and see if she wants to sort out my brother’s belongings, but she is not in good health recently. Come and have a look before we talk."

"Mom... How is your mother?" Hearing Li Peifeng say that her adoptive mother is not in good health, Li Xinyun was a little worried, "Is it serious?"

"Just some" old problems with headaches and brain fever, nothing serious.The family situation was not good before, and I was tired out. Although it is better now, these old problems still remain. "

Li Peifeng ordered the things in the living room again, and then took Li Xinyun out again. Li Xinyun originally wanted to take a look again, but it was not convenient for Li Peifeng to still be there, so he could only find a way to take a look by himself next time .

After leaving the door, Li Peifeng asked, "Sorry, I don't think I have asked Mr. your name yet."

Li Xinyun said: "My name is Rong Yun—but if you don't mind, just call me Brother Yun."

"What a coincidence, my brother's name also has the word Yun in it," Li Peifeng called naturally, "Brother Yun."

They walked out of the alley together, Li Xinyun said with a smile: "Since we are so destined, let me buy you a drink."

They walked to a beverage shop at the entrance of the alley, and Li Xinyun said, "Is it right here?"

The clerk greeted warmly: "What do you want to drink, sir?"

Li Xinyun didn't drink these drinks often, so he asked, "Any recommendations?"

The clerk pointed to the drink list and said: "Our shop's signature is peanut soy milk tea, which is very popular. Many people come here to drink it. In addition, grape coconut fruit is also very good..."

"How about a cup of peanut soy milk tea and a cup of grape coconut fruit?" Li Xinyun asked Li Peifeng.

Li Peifeng nodded and said, "Thank you—but can you drink peanut soy milk tea? My brother is allergic to peanuts, how are you?"

Li Xinyun is indeed allergic to peanuts. When he was young, eating peanuts directly caused dyspnea and almost went into shock. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, so he kept away from peanuts and all peanut-related foods.But now he is not the same body as before, so it should be fine.But Li Xinyun has become a habit of not eating peanut-related foods, so he said: "I should be fine, if you don't mind, you can drink peanut soy milk tea-but you remember your brother's habits quite clearly."

"Well, I really like peanuts... I remember this because once when I was a child, I fed peanut candy to my brother, and my mother saw it and beat me up," Li Peifeng said embarrassedly, "Can you remember this clearly?"

After asking about their sweetness and hot and cold requirements, the clerk said: "Sir, there are several takeaway orders coming first, so we have to make them first. Please wait a moment."

Li Xinyun was not in a hurry, he might rarely see Li Peifeng again in the future, and it would be useless to sit together for a while, so they sat on the chairs in the store and waited after ordering.

The two of them had nothing to say for a while, Li Xinyun and Li Peifeng, the younger brother, didn't meet much, but it seemed that his younger brother was too silly and sweet, and he deceived him with a few words, and he said to Li Peifeng: "But you Children are too easy to trust others, if they say they want to enter your brother's house, you will let me in, and if I say a few words, you will follow me, and you are not afraid that I will sell you."

Li Peifeng smiled a little shyly, "You really look like my brother, I see you are very kind, even if you really lied to me, just lie to me."

"However, do you and I really resemble each other?" Li Xinyun asked.

In fact, this is also a question that Li Xinyun also wants to know.

Li Xinyun also thought about why he resembled Rong Yun so much. Is it true that he and Rong Yun are brothers who have been separated for many years, as Li Xinyun lied to Li Peifeng just now?

But Li Xinyun knew that this possibility was very slim, because he knew that he was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage.

Moreover, is he really similar to the Li Xinyun in the past?He looked at himself in the mirror now, and sometimes felt more and more that the former Li Xinyun in him was getting farther and farther away.

Not physically, but something deeper.

For example, his soul and feelings, he has been transformed by Chen Hongting's love into something he is unfamiliar with.

Li Peifeng glanced at him again, scratched his head and said, "I do, but I don't see my brother very often, and I'm not very close to him, but I think you look like him at the first glance."

Of course Li Xinyun knew the reason why he and Li Peifeng were not close.

Not long after his adoptive father fell ill, Li Xinyun was sent to Jiuqiao Town. Although Li Xinyun, as an elder brother, often took care of this younger brother when he was still at home, but he was too young after all, so he probably didn't have much memory.After the adoptive father passed away, although Li Peifeng could remember nothing, Li Xinyun was already in college at that time, and he worked part-time outside during the holidays, and rarely went home.After Li Xinyun worked, not only Li Xinyun seldom went home, Li Peifeng had also started middle school, and his studies were inevitably busy. Except for the occasional meeting on holidays, it was almost difficult to see each other, so the relationship was inevitably unfamiliar.

Li Peifeng looked at Li Xinyun's face, and seemed to be aroused. He lowered his head and said, "Actually... I have always felt that I am very sorry for my brother."

Li Xinyun was surprised: "Why?"

Li Peifeng pursed his lips and said, "My brother was adopted by my parents. At that time, they thought they would not be able to give birth to children, so they adopted my brother, but then they got me again." He lowered his head, " Since having me, my brother has become very awkward at home, even though my parents are fair to me and my brother on the surface, there is still a difference."

"For a while my father was sick, and my mother couldn't take care of it. At that time, I was still very young and didn't understand anything. I only knew that my brother was sent away. I was sad for a few days, but children are very forgetful. After a few days I just forgot, and later my mother took me to see my brother, although I still didn’t understand, but looking at him, I seemed to know what loneliness is for the first time, and when I grew up, I kept thinking, is he It could have been less lonely."

"It's all because of my birth that changed his life. Originally, he could have all the love of my parents," Li Peifeng said, "I didn't have the courage to say sorry to him until he passed away. .”

Li Xinyun fell silent after listening to Li Peifeng's words, sighed for a long time, and said: "It's not your fault, you don't need to feel sorry, I think... your brother won't blame you either..."

Li Xinyun comforted Li Peifeng, but felt a little ups and downs in his heart—in fact, he had no malicious thoughts about Li Peifeng.

Li Peifeng learned to walk and speak a little late, so there is a period of time for his adoptive parents to train him, and he must learn to walk.But when Li Peifeng couldn't walk steadily, staggered around his adoptive parents, and said "hug" inarticulately, the adoptive parents scolded him and then hugged him into their arms. They hugged him for a while, and then hugged him He puts him on the ground to keep walking, and the cycle repeats.

This very ordinary scene always makes Li Xinyun feel jealous.

He would always think why Li Peifeng was born, since it was enough to have him in this family, why should there be Li Peifeng.

Why is he always not the chosen one, why can't he be the only one.

——It would have been nice if Li Peifeng hadn't been born.

But every time he looked at Li Peifeng and couldn't straighten his tongue and called him "brother" to want him, Li Xinyun could only look helplessly at that silly child's face, and resignedly hugged him up to coax him.

Just like at this moment, Li Xinyun could only helplessly pat Li Peifeng on the shoulder.

"Hello, sir, here is the peanut soy milk tea and grape coconut fruit you ordered." The clerk put down the drinks they ordered, pushed one of the drinks to Li Peifeng, and said, "Have something to drink."

Li Peifeng's eyes were a little red, he took a sip of his drink, tried his best to smile and said, "I'm sorry, maybe you and my brother are too similar, I couldn't hold back my emotions, I made you laugh."

Li Xinyun also drank his drink, and sighed softly: "Actually, no one is wrong. No one can do anything about this kind of thing. Don't think too much."

Because his mind was not on the drink, Li Xinyun didn't feel much about what he was drinking. He drank a few sips in one go to calm down his fluctuating mood, and then felt a strange and unfamiliar taste left in his mouth.

But after Li Peifeng took a sip of the drink, he picked up the cup and looked at the label on it, and immediately shouted: "Why is my bottle of grape coconut?"

Li Xinyun looked down at the quilt in his hand, the label was indeed peanut soy milk tea, so he realized belatedly that the strange and weird taste left in his mouth came from the peanut milk mixed in the drink .

"It's okay——" Li Xinyun just opened his mouth to comfort Li Peifeng, but found that his vocal cords were a bit difficult to speak, his tongue seemed to be paralyzed, he couldn't speak more words, and his voice was also hoarse.Soon he felt tightness in his chest, and the stuffy feeling spread from the chest all the way to the mouth of the throat. The throat seemed to be clogged with cotton, which made him unable to complete the breathing movement. He could only heave his chest quickly and open his mouth trying to inhale. Fresh air, but fresh air cannot be delivered to the lungs.

The immature face of Li Peifeng in front of him was full of anxiety, and he opened his mouth to say something, but his hearing degenerated along with Li Xinyun's uncontrollable breathing. Blurred, at last he couldn't even see Li Peifeng's face clearly, and the last thing he heard was Li Peifeng's panicked shout:

"Brother Yun!"
