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

"Ridiculous! What does your scandal have to do with me?" Ah Ci said while starting the car.

Ah Chu rested his elbows on the car window, propped his head on his hands and looked at him: "Since it's okay, why do you put on such a face?"

"Maybe you call me an asshole, but don't let me show my face?"

"It's my fault." Ah Chu nodded, with a look of self-criticism, "I'm sorry, I slipped my tongue."

Ah Ci glared at him: "It's not a joke at all! It means that's how you scolded me in your heart!"

"Don't ask too much, it's not easy for me to keep my mouth shut." Ah Chu leaned on the attitude of admitting his mistakes, and said provocatively, "In all fairness, don't you mess around? Sneering, as if as long as Ai Zhong Aihua is willing, just directly It’s like packing me up and delivering it to Black Butterfly. How annoying am I that you are so eager to get rid of it? You should ask me what I think, right?”

"You have already opened a room with her, do you have any other ideas?"

"Pay attention to your wording, I'm staying in the same hotel with the cast and crew, not with her alone."

"That's what it says in the magazine."

"Do you trust me or the paparazzi?"

"...I believe you." Ah Ci thought to himself: In fact, sometimes paparazzi are more trustworthy than you.But he didn't say it after all, "So, the modification of the ending of the TV series because of jealousy is also made up by the paparazzi?"

"The ending has indeed changed. But it has nothing to do with jealousy. I'm just upset with the idiot fans of the 'Xiedie Forum'. Last time there was a scandal, they spared no effort to slander me through various means. If I still follow their wishes to make the ending I will not Surnamed Yang!"

Sure enough, it was the little black rabbit who must take revenge.But Ah Ci didn't have time to care about the broken glass heart of the brainless fan. He just wanted to find a reasonable answer on the "bastard" issue: "Even if I misunderstood the relationship between you and Black Butterfly, I just wish you a few blessings." Sentence! It’s good for you, you came to a blind date to make trouble, and you actually told them that I was here to help you check it out! Who is the bastard between us?”

"If you come on a blind date with sincerity, I won't spoil your good deeds. It's a different matter if you just make a fuss. I don't respond. How boring is your one-man show! Besides, no one has set the rules. You can’t choose a partner. People who really love you will not give up because of other people’s words. This only shows that they have not considered dating you. Otherwise, if I say that I am accompanying you on a blind date, someone will still leave me a call .”

"Is it great to leave a phone call?" Ah Ci said disdainfully, "I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from! Wake up, don't take it as personal charm, they are here for money! If a man wants money, he will be with anyone. Destined. If I rent a Ferrari, I will be like you!"

"It's not the same. To be honest, you don't know how to sell yourself at all." A Chu shook his head, "Ms. No. 6 told me that during the process of your conversation, you tried your best to portray yourself as a person who lives and eats at your brother's house." A little policeman who steals pocket money."

"She's talking nonsense! I just said that we live together, and I didn't say whose name the real estate certificate is in. Why should I say that I rubbed against you?"

Ah Chu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, it's indeed the Ferrari that's missing."

It was nearly 10 o'clock when I got home.

After confirming that the two sons had fallen asleep, Ah Chu locked the door, took out the playing card "9" from his pocket, and showed it to his younger brother.This action immediately caused Ah Ci to complain: "Why did you get the number back? Because of you, the whole deck of cards is not in order!"

"It's just a deck of poker, no one cares about it. But for me, it's a commemoration." Ah Chu's eyes were full of smiles.

Ah Ci raised his eyebrows: "What do you commemorate? Happy first blind date?"

"To commemorate our draw of 69! There are days in the dark, this must be a hint." Ah Chu's smile deepened.

Ah Ci yawned, and said in a dispirited voice, "I'm too tired today, let's rest."

Ah Chu immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise: "You actually understand the connotation of 69!"

"I didn't understand at first, but I can guess from your expression..."

……

Saturday is another day when children go to the Children's Palace.In the afternoon, Ah Ci came to pick up Aizhong and Aihua, and originally wanted to call Shang Zhuiming to the "old place" to have a cup of coffee and chat, but who knew that this kid didn't even say hello, so he got into Gu Xichao's car mysteriously slipped away.

"Where is the coach going?" Aihua asked blankly, watching the car.

"He might have something important... don't look, let's go." Ah Ci coaxed the two little guys into the car.

"Uncle, let's follow!" Ai Zhong jumped into the back seat, looking at Ah Ci with bright eyes.

"It's not good, the coach also has privacy." Ah Ci rubbed the top of Ai Zhong's head, "If you are curious, you can ask him tomorrow."

Ten minutes later, Ah Ci's Daqiri followed the Gu Brothers' car.

Because the two people in the car in front were too involved in chatting and bickering all the way, they didn't realize that they were being followed at all.

"The coach didn't go to eat chocolate cake with us, did he secretly eat something more delicious?" Although he hadn't heard a definite answer yet, Aihua's little face was already wrinkled.

"You know how to eat!" Ai Zhong looked at his younger brother helplessly, and guessed, "I think he is going on a blind date again!"

"Blind date is eating!" Aihua swallowed, "The last time he had a blind date, he even fed me cherry cake!"

Ah Ci preached: "It would be nice for us to find a restaurant to eat cakes by ourselves! Is it interesting to follow others without crying?"

Ai Zhong curled her lips: "But we used to quarrel, and you acted as if you didn't hear...Actually, you also want to follow, right?"

"I'm such a gossip!" Ah Ci scowled, "Everyone be quiet! From now on, if anyone says a word, I will stop following and go home around the corner! I don't have any cake!"

The two children immediately shut up, staring intently at the back of the coach in the front car like kittens practicing to catch mice.

However, the hunt still failed to go to the end, just in time for the song that suddenly sounded - "Only One Step Away".

Ah Ci connected the phone through the car Bluetooth hands-free, and heard his brother ask straight to the point: "Where are you?"

"I just picked them up, I'll be home later." Ah Ci said perfunctorily.

"Come back quickly. I'm going on a long trip tomorrow morning. I'm not sure when I'll be back. I have a lot of things to tell you."

Ah Ci frowned unconsciously: "Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'll talk about the details when I come back. Let's do this first, and concentrate on driving." Ah Chu hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Ah Ci also lost the mood to toss with the children, so he turned around at the intersection and drove back.Aihua turned his head and watched the chasing car drift away, and complained with a flat mouth and a slightly crying voice: "We didn't talk, why did you turn the corner and go home? Where's the cake?"

Ah Ci reprimanded: "You are still in the mood to think about cakes! Don't even ask where your father is!"

Ai Zhong immediately acted as a repeater obediently: "Where did Dad go?"

"...I don't know." Ah Ci felt like he was hit on the foot by a rock he lifted.

"I knew you didn't know, so I didn't ask!" Aihua said angrily.

……

"Stepfather had a stroke, I have to go to Cardiff." Ah Chu briefly explained, without stopping, busy packing the suitcase.

Ah Ci narrowed his eyes: "Take the opportunity to revenge him?"

Ah Chu rolled his eyes at him: "I came all the way here just to add insult to injury? Is your elder brother so narrow-minded in your heart?"

"No, I always thought they were treating you badly." Ah Ci scratched his head uncomfortably.In his impression, Ah Chu grew up under the bullying of his fierce stepfather and two mean sisters. Looking back, he may have overcompensated himself.

"I can't talk about good or bad, at least he let me finish my studies smoothly, I am very grateful. It's just that I am not biological, so there will be a gap." Ah Chu paused, and then said, "I mean there is no blood connection."

"I didn't think about that at first, but you insisted on explaining." Ah Ci glared at him, "Ai Zhong is better than me now! The diaphragm should be something you should think about."

Ah Chu shrugged: "One day, he will understand me... When he also becomes a father."

A Ci twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and turned to go to the bathroom.

He vaguely heard the melody of "Only One Step Away", followed by Ah Chu's voice, but he couldn't hear it clearly.After washing his hands, he came out and saw that Ah Chu was messing with his cell phone, so he shook the water off his hand and asked, "Did my cell phone ring just now? Did you answer it for me?"

"Taiping Life Insurance is calling, are you interested?"

"Is there any part of my body that you haven't insured?"

Ah Chu spoke like an infatuated poet: "Your heart. It's too fickle. I should consider insuring it."

Ah Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he had to admit that his immunity to love words was extremely low.This feeling of being overwhelmed was terrible, he even felt his cheeks were a little hot, so he pretended to be calm and turned back to the bathroom before being seen through: "Wait until I spit out..."

"Oh, I'm still so confused." Ah Chu said with emotion.

After dinner, Ah Chu arranged tasks for his younger brother.Ask him to go around the company in his own capacity from time to time, lest those subordinates take advantage of fish and be lazy.Ah Ci suddenly felt that he had become a scarecrow in the rice field to scare the birds. This task had no technical content at all, and it was not interesting, so he couldn't help but said, "Aren't you a high-blooded person? You still use me as a supervisor?"

"The most important thing to supervise is Gao Jixue! If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles."

"...Does it take you more than three days to go out this time?"

"My young master, you also feel sorry for me. It's been a day and a half since I flew back and forth by plane, and I have to adjust the time difference!" Ah Chu complained, "I have to stay for at least half a month before coming back. You know, I haven't been back for five or six years, and when my stepfather's condition stabilizes, I still have to find time to visit professors and old classmates."

"Is it an old classmate, or an old lover?" Ah Ci narrowed his eyes, still remembering the wicked Cong Hui.

Ah Chu laughed "puchi" and pinched his face: "You..."

That night, Ah Ci suffered from insomnia.Looking at the dark roof, he wanted to turn over but was afraid of disturbing his eldest brother, so he could only count the rabbits with a stiff body.

Ah Chu suddenly sighed and said, "Let's talk if you can't sleep."

"What are you talking about?" Aci asked hesitantly.

"Listen to you."

"...Let's talk about stepfather then. I want to know what kind of person he is." A Ci drew small circles on the bed sheet with his index finger, revealing his nervousness and hesitation—he wanted to know the truth, but he was afraid at the same time. Accidentally exposed Ah Chu's old wound.

"He is very tall. I remember when I first met him, I thought I had hit a tree—maybe it was because I was too short at the time." A Chu paused, and then said, "He seldom smiles, but he has a big heart." Bad. Many conflicts are just a matter of position, and now that I have become a father, I realize that he still showed me affection before."

"Did he hit you?"

"...Beating. When I climbed up the window to escape the house for the first time, he ambush me in the garden and beat me up. Then he told Mom that he mistook me for a thief and beat me up."

"It seems that this old guy is very cunning." Ah Ci was very sympathetic to what happened to him, "What happened next? Did you also get beaten up the second time?"

"No. I was very lucky. When he found out, my legs went limp and I fell down and fainted."

"If this is considered lucky, it can only mean that he beat too hard before... You actually said that he has a good heart!"

"Actually, as long as he pretended not to see it and didn't send me to the hospital in time, he would save the oil bottle. But he didn't do that."

After hearing this, Ah Ci felt sad for a while, feeling sorry for his elder brother's kindness.He always asks very little from others, even though he has been scarred, he still finds excuses for those who have hurt him.This is true for stepfather, and it is also true for He Yashu.Thinking deeper, once the assumption Ah Chu said became a reality, this person would have died in a foreign land more than ten years ago... Ah Ci shuddered, stretched out his arms and hugged his elder brother tightly, and said after a while: "Can you go to England two days later? I'll take a good leave of absence to go with you."

Ah Chu patted his arm and said, "No need, it's too troublesome for your unit to go abroad for approval, and you can't delay this matter. I'd better go alone. Do your own business and wait for me to come back."

Ah Chu was on the plane around [-] o'clock the next morning, and he and Ah Ci still had time to send the child to the Children's Palace.He sat on the back seat, hugged Aizhong Aihua affectionately and said: "Father is going on a long trip, and he will come back in a few days, so he must listen to Uncle..."

The sad thing is that the two brats didn't even say "I will miss you", they just clamored for him to bring back tourist souvenirs.

After seeing off the children, Ah Ci sent the elder brother directly to the airport.

Before boarding the plane, Ah Chu said: "Take care of yourself, if you lose half a catty, I won't forgive you."

"This should be what I said!" Ah Ci glared at him with dark circles under his eyes, "Be careful when you go out."

"Don't worry, I know." Ah Chu smiled warmly, gave him a hug, then turned and entered the boarding gate.
