The substitute is actually a scum attacking himself

Someone walked by the side door together, and the sound of laughter was bustling.

Xie Xingzhou regained his senses from his grief and joy, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone. He almost dropped the mobile phone on the ground during the process. He hurriedly held it steady, and dialed Meng Siyi's number with shaking hands.

The phone had just been connected, and before Meng Siyi had time to speak, he had choked up and said, "Siyi, I seem to..."

Meng Siyi seemed to be driving, when a horn sounded from the other end.

She heard Xie Xingzhou's trembling voice that was hesitant to speak, and she couldn't help but worry: "What's the matter? Xingzhou, are you feeling well?"

"No..." Xie Xingzhou was so nervous that he didn't say anything for a while.

Meng Siyi started another topic and said: "I haven't seen you since I came back from Daobei Mansion last time. What do you think about what I told you that day? Are you still with that person... Sigh, let's forget about it." Well, I miss you a little bit, I don't have any classes recently, do you want me to come and see you in two days?"

"No need... I'm fine."

Xie Xingzhou suddenly thought of something, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, changed the topic and said: "I just miss you a little bit, I want to ask what you are doing, don't be distracted while driving, I will call you later Telephone."

"It's okay, and it doesn't affect..." Meng Siyi felt that Xie Xingzhou was a little strange, and wanted to say something else.

However, Xie Xingzhou had already hung up the phone, and the hand holding the mobile phone slumped down feebly. He leaned against the wall again, closed his eyes and calmed down.

He told himself over and over again not to be in a hurry, now is not the time to tell everyone about Duan Jize - he must first figure out why his brother escaped from the sea of ​​fire and did not come back, and also figure out what his brother has gone through these years, and why I don't want to recognize myself...

"Beautiful brother?" A youthful and familiar voice rang in his ears.

Xie Xingzhou opened his eyes and followed the sound, and saw Yu Tangtang standing at the door of the warehouse with a piece of ice cream in his mouth, looking at him with wide eyes, with white ice cream still on his mouth.

"Yu Tangtang?" Xie Xingzhou stood up, turned around and smiled at him, "Are you calling me?"

"That's right, pretty brother, did you find your carving knife? It should be in the lost and found box at the door." Yu Tangtang took a bite of the ice cream and said vaguely.

This is the person who has been living with my brother all these years.

Xie Xingzhou couldn't help but be kind, and he introduced himself to Tangtang: "My name is Xie Xingzhou, um... a star in the sea of ​​stars, a boat in a flat boat. I have found my carving knife, thank you."

"Brother Xingzhou? Your name sounds really nice." Yu Tangtang didn't seem to recognize his identity at all, and called "Brother" very fluently.

He then said happily: "But you don't have to thank me. It was my brother who said that the knife was very important. He also personally made a lost and found box and hung it at the door of the store. In the future, if a customer loses something here, he can find it. Brother is great, isn't he!"

"Yes." Hearing Yu Tangtang talk about Duan Jize, Xie Xingzhou's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help muttering, "Brother has always been very considerate in everything he does."

Yu Tangtang didn't hear his words clearly, so he raised his neck and asked him, "Beautiful brother, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Xie Xingzhou smiled, and tentatively asked: "Are you and your brother biological?"

Yu Tangtang stopped biting the ice cream when he heard the sound, and his innocent and happy expression froze for a moment, as if he had become vigilant for a while.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's his own. What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

How could it be, Xie Xingzhou fell into a daze, and said after a while, "I just think you like your brother very much, can I ask your brother's name again?"

"My brother's name is Yu Ze!" Yu Tangtang said "Oh", and proudly puffed out his chest. He exhausted all his life's knowledge to find an idiom, and imitated Xie Xingzhou and said: "The luster is as moist as jade!"

"Yu Ze... as moist as jade..." Xie Xingzhou repeated Yu Tangtang's words over and over in a low voice, "It's very similar to my brother's personality."

"Beautiful brother." Yu Tangtang threw the ice cream into the trash can and looked him up and down carefully, "Are you sick? Why are you talking to yourself and asking about my brother all the time? Could it be that you are..."

While talking, Yu Tangtang circled around Xie Xingzhou, and the words stopped on his lips for a long while.

Xie Xingzhou couldn't help being a little nervous, he felt that Yu Tangtang was not telling the truth, and he was very vigilant about Duan Jize's matter, as if... as if he had been deceived before.

His eyes followed Yu Tangtang left and right, and after a while he heard Yu Tangtang say again: "You must be scared by my brother's appearance! I...I apologize to you on my brother's behalf, but no one wants to If it becomes like this, if you despise brother, don't come to the store in the future, and I don't want you to make friends with me!"

"No, I don't." Xie Xingzhou watched Yu Tangtang's face gradually turn red, as if he was about to cry, and he said anxiously, "Tangtang, can I call you Tangtang? I want to be friends with you."

"Really?" Yu Tangtang let out a sob and calmed down.

When he saw Xie Xingzhou for the first time, he felt that although this elder brother was beautiful, he was cold and quiet, and seemed to be aloof and cold, but now he actually talked so much to himself.

Although Yu Tangtang was annoyed, he was flattered at the same time.

He confirmed again: "Do you really want to be friends with me? I don't have any friends yet."

Over the years, in order to find Duan Jize's relatives and the murderer who burned Duan Jize and threw him into the mountains, Yu Tangtang followed Duan Jize to many cities. He didn't stay in each place for long, so naturally he didn't have any true friends.

In the past, he didn't care about it, and felt that he was happy to be alone with his brother, but after meeting Xie Xingzhou, he couldn't help but suddenly had the idea of ​​making friends.

"Really, we can leave a WeChat message." Xie Xingzhou took out his phone and looked at Yu Tangtang expectantly.

This kid is very cute, even without Duan Jize, he would be willing to get close.

But Yu Tangtang scratched his head shyly, took out an elderly mobile phone from his satchel, and said embarrassingly: "I was saving money for my brother's scar removal surgery, and I secretly resold the smartphone that my brother bought for me. I can only send text messages with you, do you mind?"

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind, thank you..."

The child in front of him was thin and small, his gray short sleeves were washed white, but he was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. Xie Xingzhou couldn't help the tears welling up in his eyes, resisting the urge to reach out and touch the top of his head.

"What? Thank me for what?" Yu Tangtang looked at him puzzled.

Thank you for being with brother sincerely all these years, Xie Xingzhou said from the bottom of his heart.

He took Wutangtang's mobile phone and entered his number, saying, "Thank you for being my friend."

"Don't you have any friends?" Yu Tangtang asked him with flickering eyes.

But just after asking, he lowered his head in disappointment, how could the pretty brother be so good-looking and outstanding, how could he have no friends.

"Yes." Xie Xingzhou answered as expected, but added, "But I am very lucky to have met you."

"Me too! I'll invite you to play at my house from now on!" Yu Tangtang said, he felt that all friends would visit each other.

Xie Xingzhou smiled and nodded: "Okay, can you do me a favor now?"

Yu Tangtang: "Of course! What's the matter?"

"Help me tell the guests at table 25 that I'm not feeling well and leave first." Xie Xingzhou said.

Yu Tangtang glanced back, and saw the shadow of Desk 25 in the distance from the gap of the bookshelf facing outside the warehouse.

He asked: "But there are three guests at table 25, which one should I tell?"

Xie Xingzhou thought for a while, then smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "The one who looks the most arrogant."

"Understood! The most handsome one!" Yu Tangtang knew who Xie Xingzhou was referring to in a second. He winked playfully at Xie Xingzhou, and then ran towards the front hall bouncing around.

After Yu Tangtang left, Xie Xingzhou took a few more glances at this small but exquisite shop, and then reluctantly turned and left through the side door.

Today's sun is not too big, the weather is cool and suitable for walking.

Coming out of Yipin Bookstore, Xie Xingzhou walked slowly along the boulevard outside the fence of Luo University, and after the great joy, he was extraordinarily calm.

He thought of many things, all related to the fire that year.

Less than a week after Duan Jize was buried in the flames, Duan Jingcheng's company was hollowed out by directors. Before that, although those directors were dissatisfied with Duan Jingcheng's dominance, they showed no sign of rebellion.

Duan Jize's death, the company's disintegration, Duan Jingcheng's madness... These things piled up too fast and too densely. Could it be that the fire back then was not an accident, but something else?

But Duan Jize has no grievances or enmities with others, and no one would set fire to so many people to kill him...

Xie Xingzhou couldn't think of a result, so he stopped. He looked up and found himself standing in front of a beauty hospital.

He remembered that before going out today, he made an appointment for the mole removal project at this beauty hospital, and it should be almost time now.

Xie Xingzhou raised his hand to touch the mole on his earlobe, stared blankly at the entrance of the beauty hospital for a while, wondering what he was thinking, and walked in after a while.

The doctor prepared the bill for him, Xie Xingzhou settled the bill, followed the nurse's guidance, and lay down on the operating table.

"It's not a major operation. The equipment is very advanced now. A mole as small as yours is just bitten by an ant. You don't need any anesthesia." The doctor said to Xie Xingzhou when he opened the equipment.

Xie Xingzhou was still thinking about other things, his expression was numb, and he just nodded.

"This mole looks pretty good, and it suits you well. Are you sure you want to remove it?" The doctor asked again, applying iodophor on Xie Xingzhou's earlobe.

Xie Xingzhou let out a "hmm" from his nasal cavity, since he has already agreed to Jiang Muye, it's not a big deal, just take it.

"Then relax a little bit." The doctor smiled, "It seems that you are very reluctant."

"No... hiss—" Xie Xingzhou felt a pain in his earlobe just as he was speaking. He couldn't help closing his eyes, but suddenly remembered something.

It was a long time ago, and he still had a very young memory——

"Xing Zhou, I didn't realize before that you have a beauty spot here. '

'Not a beauty spot!Girls have beauty spots. '

'Beauty means a beautiful person, not just a girl. '

'real?Brother, do you like my beauty mole? '

'like. '

Xie Xingzhou opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the doctor in a panic, and said, "No, I won't take it..."

"It's too late, it's already been taken, don't touch the wound with water, remember to rub the medicine I just prescribed to promote wound healing." The doctor said helplessly, "I said it quickly, you should think clearly."

"I..." Xie Xingzhou stretched out his hand to pinch his earlobe, his eyes turned red instantly, he didn't know whether it was from pain or regret.

Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly took away his hand, and reproached him, "I told you not to touch it, but if you pinch it so hard, don't you feel any pain?"

"I'm sorry." Xie Xingzhou stumbled and fell off the operating table, and ran away with his head down.

The doctor could only look at his thin back and shook his head.

Xie Xingzhou ran into the bathroom of the beauty hospital in one breath, stood in front of the sink and looked in the mirror, the black mole really disappeared, and the white tender flesh inside was red and swollen.

Xie Xingzhou picked it up with his hand, and the spot started to bleed. He took the water from the faucet and rinsed it, and the blood was washed away to reveal the white wound. He finally accepted the fact that the mole was gone.

The induction faucet seemed to be broken, and water kept pouring out, and the sound of splashing water in the bathroom covered up Xie Xingzhou's choking.

What he said before going out really came true - some things are truly cherished only after they are lost.

Maybe God is slowly punishing him, punishing him for his selfishness, punishing him for being unable to bear loneliness, punishing him for his depravity and sinking in Jiang Muye...

The recruitment match for the school basketball team next week has been finalized. Zhao Lin is a medical student who has a lot of experiments, so he rushed back to school for experiments by himself.

Only Guan Cheng and Jiang Muye came out of Yipin Bookstore and went to the commercial street near the school.

"Brother Mu, why don't you buy two pairs of sneakers for the new players this year?" Guan Cheng asked Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye walked casually, nodded: "You sure, I remember there is a tattoo parlor nearby, where is it?"

"It's near here." Guan Cheng pointed to the direction of the body shop, and said strangely: "Brother Mu, didn't you say that you didn't want to fix all these bells and whistles before? Why do you like tattoos again?"

Jiang Muye paused slightly, tilted his head and smiled: "It's not that I like it, it's Xie Xingzhou who likes it."

"What?" Guan Cheng was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that Jiang Muye really said the name "Xie Xingzhou".

He doubted his ears, and confirmed, "Is it because of Xie Xingzhou? Then Su Ruan...you and Su Ruan are really in the past?"

Jiang Muye didn't break up with Xie Xingzhou for so long, Guan Cheng felt it was very strange. From today's perspective, Jiang Muye might be serious.

"Su Ruan and I have never started, and it's not even in the past tense." Jiang Muye said really, and even felt a little emotional, "I thought I liked him to death, but now that he's back, I feel a little It’s annoying, it’s better to stay with Xie Xingzhou happily, why do you say?”

"I don't know." Guan Cheng looked weird, and just asked Jiang Muye: "Brother Mu, are you really serious about Xie Xingzhou this time? Don't..."

"Okay, stop talking, lead the way." Jiang Muye frowned and interrupted him.

He really didn't like Guan Cheng reminding him over and over - he and Xie Xingzhou had a wrong start, and their love was destined not to be pure.

Guan Cheng stopped talking and led Jiang Muye to find the location of the tattoo parlor.

After the tattoo came out, Guan Cheng was hesitant to say anything throughout the process. He felt that the lisianthus was beautiful, but it didn't fit Jiang Muye's image, and he was ashamed to say where the tattoo was.

But Jiang Muye seemed to be in a good mood, so he had no choice but to ask casually, "Brother Mu, does it hurt?"

"What is this?" Jiang Muye said disdainfully, and suddenly thought of something, he added, "Maybe it hurts to get rid of a mole."

Guan Cheng: "What mole?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Muye walked up the escalator, turned his back to Chao Guan Cheng and waved, "Let's go."

Xie Xingzhou walked aimlessly outside for a long time, and didn't stop until there was no pain in his earlobe.

He finally went back to Jiang Muye's apartment, because his paintings, his stereotypes, his painstaking efforts and works were all still there, so he had to go back.

It was already dark, and the residents of the community turned on their lights.

Xie Xingzhou unlocked the door and entered, but the apartment was pitch black, and Jiang Muye didn't seem to be back yet.

This made Xie Xingzhou heave a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to reach out to turn on the light, someone embraced him from behind. He was startled for a moment, and smelled the restless breath on Jiang Muye's body.

The light was turned on, and Jiang Muye pressed close to his ear and asked him, "Why did you come back so late? I got the mole removed, does it hurt?"

Xie Xingzhou pushed him away expressionlessly, and whispered, "It doesn't hurt."

But Jiang Muye took him into his arms again, pinched his chin to look at him, and said with a smile: "Your face is pale, and you still say it doesn't hurt? Bravery."

"Jiang Muye, I'm tired." Xie Xingzhou was extremely cold, pushed him away again, and walked towards the studio.

Jiang Muye was caught off guard and pushed back a step. He frowned, grabbed Xie Xingzhou's wrist, and asked him strangely, "What's wrong with you today?"
