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

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "I hear what you mean, you've been looking forward to suppressing me, right?"

Ah Ci shook his head and said, "No, I hope you get better. But recovery is a long process. During this period, I can do anything for you to ensure that your quality of life will not be compromised."

"It's rare for you to have such a heart. However, I have also learned your skills, it is really..." Ah Chu squeezed his brother's chin, and smiled helplessly, "You have to practice hard during this time, I will Check the quality you want to guarantee."

"Don't play Tai Chi with me, I know that's not what you're thinking about right now." A Ci looked at his elder brother's eyes that were still slightly moist, and asked, "Why were you crying just now?"

"No, it was because you sang a lullaby and yawned when you were sleepy." Ah Chu made a gesture to cover his mouth, and yawned again.

"You don't come here! You always say that I am not frank, but you are much more awkward than me!" Ah Ci was very dissatisfied with this answer, "It has been seven years, and you have never cried happily in front of me. I am leaving you The closest person, if you can't completely relax and vent your emotions in front of me, it's even more impossible to be with outsiders. After so many years, aren't you tired?"

"Hey, where are you talking about? We have been having a good time all these years, why should I cry when I have nothing to do?" Ah Chu frowned and looked at Ah Ci, but the smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't receded yet, and his expression looked a little bit reluctantly.

"No, these few years have not been easy for us. Since my mother passed away, I had a car accident, my father passed away, you got divorced, and this illness. It can be said that these are the most difficult years in our lives. Dad passed away When you said to me, 'Cry if you want to cry, don't hold yourself back. Be kind to yourself for everyone who loves you and needs you.' Now I want to say the same thing. Put your fears and Tell me the pain, let me face it with you... In fact, I am not as unreliable as you imagined. Compared with the pressure of reality, I care more about your opinion of me, which makes me feel like a failure. When Lao Yu passed away , you came back from England to comfort me, and even suffered from jet lag for several days because of it. I always hope that when you are in trouble, you can also rely on me like this. Only by supporting each other and taking care of each other can we be regarded as brothers." Ah His eyelids were reddish, he spread his arms, tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to give me this chance now to prove that you still need me?"

"Ah Ci, I have always needed you." Ah Chu frowned, two lines of tears were streaming down uncontrollably, he hugged Ah Ci tightly, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably , tears gradually wet Ah Ci's shirt, "I am not reconciled...Ah Ci, I am not reconciled!"

"What are you unwilling to do? Can I help you? Or after the operation, we will..." Ah Ci moved slightly. He wanted to look at Ah Chu, but was held down.

"Don't move..." Ah Chu stubbornly refused to let him see his crying face.

"Okay, I know it's not easy. Then cry, cry hard." Ah Ci compromised.He knew how it felt, having grown up in broken homes where they couldn't find anyone they could trust and lean on with all their heart, and they hadn't learned to be honest about their grievances.Ah Ci patted him on the back and said, "No matter what you are struggling with, you haven't lost yet. I have a hunch that you will be fine. My hunch has always been very accurate... After tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Ah Chu didn't speak any more, but hugged his younger brother tighter, letting the tears keep rolling down.

……

After a long time, Ah Chu cried until he was a little tired, and then slowly calmed down.He sat on the head of the bed, closed his eyes and breathed calmly, and said after a little bit of relief: "I'm fine, you can go back."

"I'm not going back today, I'll stay here with you." Ah Ci sat by the bed, refusing to leave.

"Go back and rest, I don't need an escort at this stage."

"Then it's fine if you stay with me." Ah Ci said very well.

"Don't make trouble! Hurry up and go back!" Ah Chu raised his leg and kicked him, "I have surgery tomorrow, so I'm going to bed now, I don't have time to accompany you."

"Sleep with you, I won't disturb you." Ah Ci rubbed his butt, still refusing to move.

Ah Chu didn't know what to do, so he put the wig on the bedside table, then lay down, leaving half of the bed for Ah Ci, and said, "Come on."

"Hmm!" Ah Ci quickly lay down next to him, looking at the marking line on the back of Ah Chu's head, feeling as if a wound of equal length had been stabbed in his heart.He stretched out his hand to caress the line, and asked, "Do you start the operation from here tomorrow?"

"Who still uses a knife? Go straight to the saw." Ah Chu turned over, grabbed Ah Ci's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm kidding you."

"I'll go, I really believe it..." Ah Ci let out a breath, and then said, "I won't disturb you, go to bed quickly. Brother has a tough battle to fight tomorrow. The operating table is your battlefield..."

"That's not a good analogy." Ah Chu interrupted him, "It should be said that doctors and tumors fight hand-to-hand, and I am the battlefield."

Ah Ci felt that his throat was a bit congested, and he choked for a while before continuing: "I just want to remind you, on the operating table, remember what you are doing... No matter who you dream of, don't just follow along!"

"What do you mean?"

"I was in your office before and read a book about the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't tell, you're quite superstitious."

"Because I have experienced it, I have to believe it." Ah Ci explained with some difficulty, "In the car accident five years ago, I felt that I was almost hopeless... Do you know my dream on the operating table? I dreamed of you Come see me off."

"Your situation at that time was really bad." Ah Chu recalled the scene at that time, still lingering in fear.He held Ah Ci's hand, leaned closer at the same time, and said against his forehead, "But I thought, even if you dreamed about it, it should be Dad or Ronghua."

"I think so too." Ah Ci said helplessly, "It's too unconventional to play the cards."

"Go on, what happened in the dream?"

"You said you wanted to send me to a place where there would be no pain, lies, and harm." Ah Ci felt his elder brother hold his hand tighter, and quickly said, "But I wasn't fooled, so I just scolded you away. "

"... Well scolded!" Ah Chu laughed, seeing his younger brother staring at him, put his arms around him and promised, "Don't worry! If I dream of you tomorrow, I will definitely scold you away too."

……

In the early morning, Xia Yuechun came to see Ah Chu in the ward, and when he saw Ah Ci, he asked in surprise, "Yo, why are you here so early?"

"I came here last night." Ah Ci answered truthfully.

Xia Yuechun gave a meaningful "oh", then asked Ah Chu with a smirk, "You must have had a good rest last night, right?"

"Heh." Ah Chu twitched the corners of his mouth, turned to his younger brother and said, "Ah Ci, go and eat something."

"I'm not hungry yet." At this moment, Ah Ci was not in the mood to eat at all, and just wanted to spend more time with his elder brother.

"You have to eat if you're not hungry." Ah Chu saw that he was about to refute, so he said first, "Stop bargaining, you don't want me to think about the fact that you didn't have breakfast during the operation, do you?"

"...Understood, I'm going to eat now, and I'll be back soon." Ah Ci still compromised, and left with his wallet after speaking.

Seeing him walking away, Ah Chu asked Xia Yuechun, "What did you tell him again?"

"How do you know what I said?" Xia Yuechun said angrily after receiving Ah Chu's blank stare, "It's nothing, I guess you should be quite nervous, so I suggest him to help you relax."

"Is that all?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows, "He was so provocative yesterday, it doesn't look like he came to help me relax."

"That can only show that your brother's comprehension is problematic." Xia Yuechun shrugged, and said, "Okay, don't put on such a face with me, you can get cheap and act like a good boy! You should thank me for finally turning your brother back into a Obedient and obedient. Do you have a sense of satisfaction from fulfilling your long-cherished wish?"

"No." Ah Chu shook his head, "It's fine if he doesn't change."

"Being able to say such a thing means that you have changed your mind."

"Maybe..." Ah Chu stared at the corner of the wall in a daze.

"Is it so difficult to admit that you like the new and dislike the old?" Xia Yuechun looked at him sideways, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

"...I was thinking, what would Aji do if I turned into a vegetable?"

"I'll water you with a watering can every day."

"Believe it or not, I'll water you with a watering can right now!" Ah Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Speak so harshly, you will be lonely forever."

Xia Yuechun crossed his arms, and said calmly, "Isn't it thanks to you that I am lonely all my life?"

Ah Chu was stunned, and said uncomfortably, "Do you hate me?"

"I can't talk about hate, but I will be upset." Xia Yuechun sighed, and said in relief, "But it's okay, when you enter the operating room and Ah Ci falls into my hands, we will be evened."

"No, I don't want to get even, you still hate me."

……

With concern, Ah Ci ate an egg in the dining room, and hurried back to the ward.At this moment, Ah Chu was talking with two doctors, so he sat quietly in the corner, looking at his eldest brother without blinking.

"Today next month, I will treat you to dinner." Ah Chu looked confident about the operation.

The young doctor immediately refused and said: "You don't get rewarded for nothing. Wait until you get off the operating table, and then talk about these scenes."

"It's okay, if I can't get off the operating table, I will go to Xiao Guan's dream to 'thank you'." Ah Chu threatened in a gentle tone.

"There is no room for you in my dream." Dr. Guan said, "Also, let me say it again, don't call me Xiao Guan anymore!"

Ah Ci frowned. He was dissatisfied with this doctor's attitude towards Ah Chu, but since the other party was about to use a knife on his brother's head, it was inconvenient to express it directly.

Xia Yuechun looked at Ah Ci from the side, naturally he didn't miss the wonderful expression.He burst out laughing, leaned close to Ah Ci and whispered: "Don't get emotional, he's already given face to be the chief surgeon. No one likes to be called 'little boy', 'little girl'...don't you Seeing that this guy is young and speaks fast, he has almost never missed an operation, and he seems to have a background in the water meter circle."

Ah Ci nodded, not because he was afraid of the background of the circle, but because of his excellent medical skills, he could endure everything.

After the two doctors left the ward, the operating cart rolled in.

Xia Yuechun asked Ah Chu: "Do you still need a surgical cart? You can walk there by yourself!"

"No. If I walk into the operating room, I will suffer from occupational diseases. Who will get the knife at that time?" Ah Chu lay down on the operating trolley, and told his brother, "When I have the operation later, you should stay away from this guy." point."

"What do you mean?" Ah Ci gave Xia Yuechun a puzzled look, and the latter showed a friendly smile.

"Don't believe anything he tells you, don't look at anything he tells you, anyway, just ignore this person completely!"

"Oh." Ah Ci nodded, not wanting to waste time on this issue.He followed the operating cart and sent Ah Chu to the door of the operating room. He just felt that the road was too short, and there seemed to be something to say, but he didn't know where to start.The moment the door panel opened, he finally couldn't help stopping everyone, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Ah Chu asked.

"Brother..." Ah Ci bent down, held his brother's hand and said, "...Do you believe in Buddhism or in Christ?"

"You ask this...Usually, I believe in myself more." Ah Chu raised his hand and touched his head, and said, "But the current image may be more convincing to believe in Buddhism."

"Then I will recite Amitabha Buddha for you until the operation is over."

"Don't mind! I'm afraid the operation is not over yet, you'll escape into Buddhism first." Ah Chu said, "You should read my name."

Just as he was talking, Xia Yuechun suddenly yelled strangely: "Oh, why is there a picture of the entrance of the delivery room messing in!"

Ah Ci was a little embarrassed, but he still held his elder brother's hand and refused to let go.

Ah Chu glared at Xia Yuechun and said, "If this is a delivery room, you have to prepare some money."

Xia Yuechun continued to spoil the atmosphere: "If the thing that was cut out can cry and make trouble and call me 'Uncle Xia', I'd be happy to pay for it."

"You're going to lose!" Ah Chu twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave up competing with his old classmates at the door of the operating room to see who was more venomous.

Xia Yuechun raised his eyebrows, very proud.

However, Ah Ci didn't want to end the topic like this. He was bored for a long time before he tentatively asked: "Then can I accompany the delivery?"

"Ci...don't be like this." Ah Chu frowned, squeezed his hand, "wait for me outside."

"...Mmm." Ah Ci let go of his hand helplessly, watching his elder brother being pushed into the operating room.The closing of the two doors blocked his sight, just like the back view of his mother when she took Ah Chu away, isolating him from their world, and he has no contact with him ever since.Ah Ci clenched his fists tightly, fear and helplessness were like two ferocious beasts, biting and gnawing at his heart.
