[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Ah Ci has always disliked rainy days, especially light rain.

He turned his head and looked at the dense rain outside the car window in a daze, and his mood was as gloomy as the sky at this time.

In the underground garage of the hospital just now, he walked to the right front door of the car and paused, then took two steps back, and opened the right rear door.

Ah Chu was stunned in the driving position, looked back at him, patted the passenger seat and said, "Come and sit, it's not good to talk like this."

"Then don't talk about it." Ah Ci insisted on sitting in the back, and pulled the car door behind him.

"Don't worry, even if you do collide, I won't let you have an accident."

"I know." Ah Ci leaned back in the chair, looked up at the roof of the car, "That's why I sat in the back."

Ah Chu sighed, and drove the car out of the garage without any further persuasion.

The two had their own concerns and remained silent all the way.Ah Ci didn't want his father to know about the car accident. Although he would have to tell the old man sooner or later, it wasn't now.He is not in the mood to confide now, nor does he want to expose his scars to the sun in front of his relatives and friends, he just wants to move back to the apartment he shared with Ronghua to be quiet.For the rest, wait a few days.

And Ah Chu had said first, he would take care of Ah Ci wherever he went, so he lived in with him logically.

When entering the house, Ah Ci walked in front.Opening the door, a familiar feeling mixed with strong sadness rushed over, and the smell of Ronghua's perfume seemed to still be in the air.He froze, bewildered.If the door is not opened, can the aura of glory be preserved forever?

"There's no need to force yourself. If you feel pain, we can stay in a hotel first." Ah Chu was behind him, patted him on the shoulder.

Ah Ci shook his head, and walked in with his legs.

On a cloudy evening, the living room looked very dark.

He sat down on the couch, and habitually pressed the switch of the floor lamp.Warm yellow light, warm and hazy.In the past, every time I came back from the night shift, I always felt warm and at ease when I saw the living room under the soft light.But now, the whole room is like a yellowed old photo, telling the past that has passed away.

He caressed the empty seat beside him, and suddenly remembered many things.I remember the day when we first moved in, Ronghua stood by the sofa and asked him to choose the flavor of instant noodles for supper with a smile; when he accompanied Liu Yunpu to drink and return late, Ronghua leaned on the sofa, uneasily confessed his mistakes, and promised that he would not eat vinegar indiscriminately in the future ; and when pestering him to watch costume dramas, Ronghua patted the coffee table and criticized the overly conservative male protagonist... The past scenes were played slowly before his eyes, and Ronghua's frowns and smiles were so beautiful.Unfortunately, everything is irreparable.

A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.In the hospital in front of outsiders, he could still control his emotions, but when he returned home and removed his psychological defenses, he could no longer hide his grief, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Where did you hide the rice? I almost searched the kitchen, but I couldn't find it!" Ah Chu poked his head out of the kitchen and asked.

Ah Ci turned his face away, quickly wiped away his tears with one hand, and replied in a nasal voice: "No rice."

Ah Chu pretended not to see him wiping his tears, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you guys never cook on fire and buy ready-made food?"

After being interrupted by his brother, Ah Ci's sadness was mostly reduced. He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and said, "There are instant noodles in the cabinet."

"I don't know how to do that stuff!" Ah Chu walked over and said, "I'm not familiar with this area, take me to the supermarket for a while."

Ah Ci had no choice but to pack up his emotions and accompany him to the supermarket.

……

The supermarket is right at the entrance of the community, but there are not many parking spaces nearby. Instead of wandering around looking for a parking space, it is more convenient to walk directly there.Since Ah Chu insisted on not using Ronghua's lace-trimmed flower umbrella, they could only share one umbrella.

The two walked in the rain, and their coats were slightly wet by the rain.Ah Ci looked at the wet space on the outer shoulder, and complained about the difficult Young Master Yang, but was stopped by Ah Chu's sentence, "If you are willing to hold a small umbrella, we don't have to be so crowded".

Ah Ci felt a little resentful, and he found that he was getting more and more disadvantaged in getting along with Ah Chu.On the one hand, it was because that guy was really sharp-tongued; on the other hand, with Ah Chu's life-saving blood transfusion in front of him, he always seemed to be a bit shorter, and his speech also lacked confidence.

They bought some fruits and miscellaneous grains in the supermarket, went to the porridge shop for dinner, and then returned home.

Ah Ci really had enough of being supervised for three meals and could only eat liquid food, so he couldn't help but suggest: "Brother, I'm fine, I'm fine by myself. Look, you've been tossing and tossing for almost a month, go back and rest A few days."

"What? You want to drive me away?" Ah Chu gave him a sideways glance, "The bridge started to be demolished before the river was over?"

"No... If you don't go back, Aizhong Aihua won't know you anymore."

A Chuman said indifferently: "They didn't know me at all. They are all top-notch, and they didn't even bother to open their eyes when I stood by the bed."

Ah Ci thought to himself, with your personality, the children you will give birth to must be top-notch.He thought for a while, and then said: "The child is easy to talk about, but what about Yashu? She just got an email last time, and she became so jealous. Now you don't come home at night, if she thinks you have a mistress, how do you explain it?"

"Let's just say it straight!" Ah Chu raised his chin at him with a smirk, "There is no mistress, but Xiaobailian has one."

Ah Ci's face darkened: "You're just an asshole!"

"Okay!" Ah Chu stretched out his hand at him, "My lord, the expenses of the supermarket and the porridge shop were paid in advance, please settle the bill."

Ah Ci angrily put his hands in his pockets, but he missed the wallet.He suddenly remembered that the wallet was still in the pocket of the leather jacket he wore when the accident happened.So he slapped Ah Chu's debt-collecting hand away: "Stop making trouble, be serious. Do you have the leather jacket I wore when I got into a car accident?"

"I think it's unlucky, I've already thrown it away... Don't feel bad, I'll buy you a new one later."

"...What about the things in your pocket? Don't you throw them away too?"

"Of course." Ah Chu nodded, seeing that Ah Ci's expression had changed, he hurriedly said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking. I've saved everything in your pocket for you."

Ah Ci asked again, "What's there?"

Ah Chu thought for a while: "A bunch of keys, a wallet... Ah, the mobile phone has been given to you in advance."

Ah Ci frowned: "Is there nothing else?"

"What else?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, suddenly enlightened, "Oh! And the pair of little golden locks, I thank you for Ai Zhong Aihua! I have already put them on."

Ah Ci still frowned: "What else? Have you seen a USB flash drive? It's black, it's so big..."

"No." Ah Chu shook his head, "Is it very important?"

"It's very important." Ah Ci is now very sure that his previous guess is correct.The wallet, mobile phone, and golden lock are all still there, which means that the other party is not looking for money, but for the USB flash drive.Seeing that Ah Chu's expression became serious, he hurriedly said, "It's okay, if you lose it, you lose it, it's no big deal."

……

The wound on Ah Ci's left leg was the deepest and longest, measuring ten centimeters.The scar after the stitches were removed looked like a centipede.Seeing that the wound was a little swollen, Ah Chu was cautious and didn't let him take a shower. He still wiped his body with a towel as he did when he was hospitalized.

After scrubbing, Ah Ci put on his pajamas and went to the bed in the bedroom to be in a daze—he had never slept in this double bed.When Ronghua was here before, he always slept on the sofa in an orderly manner.When Ronghua was on duty, he didn't bother to come back alone, so he just spent the night in the police dormitory.He always thought that the two of them would talk about marriage after a few years of dating before they could sleep on this big bed in a legitimate way.But he didn't expect that he finally got into this bed after she was gone.If the glory is alive in the sky, you will find it ironic, right?

"Things have come to this, it's useless to think too much." Ah Chu walked over and put a glass of water on the bedside table, and there was an artistic photo of Ronghua in the photo frame next to it.Ah Chu put the photo frame on the table casually, and said, "Go to bed early, I will accompany you to the cemetery tomorrow... If you feel uncomfortable at night, remember to call me. I'm in the living room." After finishing speaking, he went straight to the sofa in the living room .

Ah Ci looked at his brother's back, and couldn't bear it—he had slept on the sofa for a year, so he naturally understood the feeling, which was far less comfortable than the bed.Out of respect for Ronghua before, the house was too small to fit the second bed, so he had no choice but to sleep on the sofa.But brothers don't pay much attention to these things, so there's no need for Ah Chu to make do with it.

"This bed is big, we can sleep together, come here." He shouted towards the living room.

"No need." Ah Chu replied quietly.

"It's really all right." Ah Ci couldn't bear his sneering annoyance.Although usually sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed, he deserves a beating, but when he becomes pitiful, it always gives people the illusion that he is abusing small animals.Ah Ci walked to the door of the bedroom and leaned against the door frame. If his body hadn't fully recovered, he would have gone over and dragged him if he hadn't fully recovered, "I don't have a clean freak, so I don't dislike you."

"I have." Ah Chu answered briefly.He lay on the sofa, covered himself with his coat, and didn't even care about the quilt.

Ah Ci reacted for two seconds before he understood the meaning of these two words.He had good intentions, but he found it boring, so he complained about "difficult to serve", then ignored Ah Chu, turned around and went back to bed to sleep.

Maybe it's been a long time since I haven't exercised and my energy is exhausted, and I feel tired after shopping in the supermarket.Ah Ci slept soundly, a rare night without dreams.

……

The next morning, the sky had cleared, and the air after the rain became fresh and humid.

Ah Chu's driver took a taxi and rushed over early.Ah Ci took a closer look, isn't this the bald head that Ding Zi almost dragged to the police station last time?

Ah Chu introduced him: "Ah Ci, this is Liu Ah Si, I met him before..."

Ah Ci nodded, and after getting in the car, he asked Ah Chu who was beside him in a low voice: "Why don't you drive by yourself? Why did you ask Ah Si to take a taxi?"

"Isn't it convenient to chat with you in the back seat!" Ah Chu said naturally, "I didn't talk all the way yesterday."

"Don't make trouble, tell the truth!" Ah Ci asked in a low voice, "Is it because the driver's license hasn't been retrieved yet?"

"Well, it's true that I didn't get it back...how can I go when I have time?"

"Then you were still driving yesterday? If you get hit by an unlicensed driver, it doesn't matter at all."

"If you encounter a scratch, use your driver's license to hit it." Ah Chu said with ease, "Don't worry, the old rules, I will pay the fine."

"It's not about fines!" Ah Ci glared at him, "Why didn't you call the driver yesterday?"

"I didn't know you wouldn't sit in the front yesterday!" Ah Chu yawned and leaned on his shoulder, "I didn't sleep well, I'll make up for it."

"Don't tell me, you have a cleanliness freak, how can you make do with it?" Ah Ci shook his shoulders, not letting him be trusted.

Ah Chu was angry and funny: "Bastard, you really hold a grudge!" After finishing speaking, he leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Ah Ci looked at his side face, his expression faded.Going to a cemetery is no better than going to a park, and your mood won't be improved by a sunny day.Ronghua's death weighed heavily on his heart, and he was very uncomfortable.But he could see that Ah Chu was not in a high mood.This guy has always paid attention to his appearance, and he didn't even shave his beard clean.Presumably, the conflict with Yashu must not be resolved yet, but she is still pretending to be fine and bickering with him to dilute the sad atmosphere.

When the car turned a corner, Ah Chu's head tilted.Ah Ci frowned, silently moved his shoulders to support them.

……

Ah Ci had a lot of things in his mind, and wanted to tell Ronghua, but when he got to the grave, he didn't know where to start when he saw the calm smile in the photo—what can a person leave behind in one lifetime?A cold stele?

He frowned, feeling his heart was constricted so much that he was choked up for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Ah Chu silently stuffed a bouquet of flowers into his hand.

Ah Ci looked down at the few lilies in the bouquet, they were as noble and elegant as Ronghua.He squatted down, put the flowers in front of the tombstone, and looked closely at the photo on the tombstone—it was a photo of Ronghua in uniform, which looked solemn, soft but not flattering.

What made this weak woman protect him with her life?is love.Without her love, he should be the one lying here.Ah Ci felt that Ronghua's love had penetrated into his life and would accompany him for the rest of his life... her love was enough.He has no strength to love anyone anymore, and he dare not be loved so deeply by anyone anymore. To be entangled in life and death, once in a lifetime is enough.

He stood up and looked at Ah Chu: "Brother, let's go back."

Ah Chu observed his expression and asked, "Ah Ci, do you...do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No." He caught a glimpse of another bouquet of flowers in Ah Chu's hand, but he didn't intend to put it down, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Ah Chu gritted his teeth, and his voice was rarely trembling: "Then let's go see Dad together."
