my cp turned out to be

Speaking of being scratched by Ma Yuan with a knife and being stunned, Ma Jiao touched his arm with lingering fear, falling into memories.

You Fang and Lin Xi at the table looked at each other, and probably understood why Ma Jiao could call out the "Snow Country" bookworm: He lived in an extremely depressive environment since he was a child, was abused, and his heart was full of loneliness, anger and helplessness ... It is also difficult for him to resonate with Kawabata Yasunari's soul.

Lu Yao paid more attention to the abnormality revealed in Ma Jiao's words.He asked the bookworms in "Shan Hai Jing" with his eyes: Ma Yuan is acting so crazy, is it related to the statue of Guan Gong?

The bookworm who looked like an old man twirled his beard and said solemnly: "So the situation is more serious than I imagined."

JOJO's attention was also focused on the bookworm, with a curious light in his eyes, and he heard the old man from "Shan Hai Jing" say: "As I speculated earlier, this Guan Gong seems to be enshrined by Zhao Yuanbin's gang, and he receives incense and spiritual wisdom all day long. Gradually opened, and because of the evil spirit of the people around him, he left his mind and stepped into the devil's way. Later, Ma Yuan took this Guan Gong statue from Zhao Yuanbin and enshrined it day and night. He was still young and his mind was not yet firm. Being away from home, everything is not going well, and the heart is empty, so the whole person is polluted by the evil spirit of Guan Gong's statue... It can be said that at that time, this Guan Gong's statue was Ma Yuan's half life. This ceramic statue is really harmful. Shallow." He said, turning his head to look at Guan Gong's portrait.

Guan Gong seemed to have not recovered from the pain that JOJO caused him. He received the eyes of everyone condemning him, but he just "hummed" weakly, and there was still a bit of vigor in his tone.

JOJO asked Ma Jiao who was still in a trance: "Ma Jiao, you're back to your senses. Let's continue, what happened afterwards? Zhao Yuanbin took away the statue of Guan Gong, and Ma Yuan behaved even more abnormally?"

"For example," Lin Xi added based on her experience in writing supernatural novels, "his body became very weak, and his spirit became extremely poor?"

"Before that," You Fang patted Ma Jiao gently, "let's talk about who took the stun away first."

"Huh? Oh." Ma Jiao finally came back to his senses, showing a complicated expression: "The person who took me away was Brother Zhao."

=====

Ma Jiao woke up from a coma and felt tingling pain in his arms and legs.He opened his eyes, pushed away the silk quilt that did not belong to him, and found himself sleeping on a big strange bed.He inspected his wounds and found that both were bandaged and his clothes had been changed.

He rubbed his dizzy and swollen head, feeling that his throat was dry and uncomfortable. Looking around, he found that there was water in the bedside table on one side, so he poured it for himself, and just when it was half full, Zhao Yuanbin's voice sounded with laughter: " woke up?"

Ma Jiao was startled, and dropped the cup to the ground with a shake of his hand.The cup bounced twice against the thick carpet, and the water in it stained the sheets and the floor.Surprised and embarrassed, he looked at Zhao Yuanbin who stood up from the window in fear.

Zhao Yuanbin smiled at him, walked over, picked him up from the bed and put him on the couch, poured another glass of water for him, and finally pressed the summoning bell on the tea table, and said to the subordinates who appeared quickly: "Put the sheets and Change the carpet."

Ma Jiao sat there holding the cup tremblingly, not daring to drink or move.

Zhao Yuanbin was pleased by his frightened appearance, came over and sat beside him, rubbed his head: "Drink water."

Ma Jiao poured the water down with a "gudong gudong" and carefully placed the cup on the coffee table.

Zhao Yuanbin put his shoulder casually: "If you want to ask anything, just ask."

"Zhao, Brother Zhao, me, why am I here? Where is this place? My brother, how is my brother?"

"Your brother suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell into a coma after you left. My people sent him to the hospital. The doctor said that he had severe anemia and heart failure. He is currently receiving treatment. I will pay for his medical expenses and hospitalization expenses." It's on."

"Anemia and heart failure?" Ma Jiao was terrified, "How could it be? He didn't have this problem two days ago... As for the medical expenses and hospitalization expenses, I will pay you back."

"Return?" Zhao Yuanbin raised his eyebrows funny, and reported a four-digit number, "You are a poor student, can you still afford it?"

Of course Ma Jiao couldn't afford it, he clenched his fists uneasily, clawed the flesh in his palm with his nails, and said through gritted teeth, "Please let me pay it in installments... When I graduate and work, I will definitely give you double the amount. "

"You don't have to wait for you to graduate, I'll give you a chance to pay it back now. Little guy, let's make a deal." Zhao Yuanbin leaned over and bit his neck maliciously, "This is one of mine. Private property, how about you, come here to chat with me every weekend from now on. If you can do it, I promise to pay your brother’s medical expenses all the time. When he recovers, if he wants to go home, I will Give him a sum of travel expenses and let him go; if he doesn't want to go, I'll help him get an ID card and help him gain a foothold in the capital, how about it?"

Ma Jiao bit his lip.Undoubtedly, he was attracted by this favorable deal, but he did not forget that "there is no such thing as a free lunch".At that time, homosexuality was still a taboo topic in China. In Ma Jiao's consciousness, the behavior similar to nurturing was an embarrassment that only young girls would encounter.Faced with Zhao Yuanbin's proposal, Ma Jiao was at a loss as to what to do. He couldn't help but ask himself: For Ma Yuan, do I need to make such a big sacrifice?as well as--

"...Is this considered foster care? Why, why me?"

"Pfft!" After hearing Ma Jiao's words, Zhao Yuanbin burst out laughing.He took Ma Jiao into his arms a little arrogantly, pointed to the big bed not far away and said, "Little friend, taking care of you is going to bed~ What, do you want me to take care of you?"

Ma Jiao's face turned red immediately, and he shook his head like a rattle.

"As for why it's you... from the first time I saw you, I thought you looked like a person." Zhao Yuanbin stopped laughing and answered the second question.His mood became a little depressed, and he looked at Ma Jiao's eyebrows and eyes and said: "When I was young, I had a neighbor who grew up with me. He is just like you, obedient, soft, cowardly, but inexplicably stubborn. He studied Very good, the teachers in the school like him, but he especially likes to follow me. Every time I go out to fight with people, he will nagging me to persuade me to go back with him to study hard and be a good person..."

"At that time, I thought he was annoying, I thought he was stupid, and I always ignored him. But he always followed me, pulled me to make up lessons for me, bandaged my wound... when my parents didn't care about me , he is the only one who treats me well."

Ma Jiao was touched by Zhao Yuanbin's emotions, and he couldn't help but picture the appearance of that "him" in his heart: he must be a well-behaved and gentle boy with kind eyes, right?It would be nice if we could see each other.So he asked, "Where is that person now?"

"He's dead." Zhao Yuanbin said, embracing Ma Jiao like a child hugging a teddy bear. "Once I was surrounded by people, and he came looking for me and was caught. I beat him with a wooden stick in front of me... When his parents found him, he was no longer able to do it. I was terrified and regretted so much, I ran to the clinic with him behind my back, crying while running, and he whispered to me in my ear Said, he likes me, if he dies, don't let me be sad—this is the last word he left in this world."

Ma Jiao's eyes widened. It couldn't be said that he was amazed at the young man's feelings for Zhao Yuanbin, or sympathized with Zhao Yuanbin's soft remorse, or remembered the Ruyu boy who would never stop in Zhao Yuanbin's memory.Thinking of the crying of the young Zhao Yuanbin, and the expression of the boy stopping breathing on the back of his beloved... His eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to hug Zhao Yuanbin's back, and pat comfortingly.

Zhao Yuanbin continued: "As soon as I saw you, I felt that you resembled him, especially the way you said you were going to take Ma Yuan home...it was exactly the same as him. I admit that I, Zhao Yuanbin, am not a good person. I have committed murder and arson. , but if there is really one person in this world that I will not hurt, it must be him who is dead, or you who made me feel like him."

"Don't worry, I won't take you to bed, I won't do anything to you, because I know you are not him, never will be. I just want to see you often, take a good look at you, and protect you as much as I can, To make up for the favor that I will never be able to return to him." After he finished speaking, he let go of Ma Jiao, and gently rubbed his head, "How about it, do you agree?"

Ma Jiao looked directly into the other's eyes, and he saw a small figure in those eyes, but he knew that it was not himself.The strong sourness, helplessness and inexplicable trust overwhelmed the fear and doubt in his heart, and finally he nodded and said, "I promise you."

=====

"...So, from then on, we have maintained this weird relationship." Ma Jiao said, wringing his fingers a little uneasy, "He was very kind to me, and helped me in my studies. Help me arrange work. My brother was ill for more than half a year after losing Guan Gong's portrait for the first time, and all his medical expenses were paid by Brother Zhao in advance...Even this barbecue restaurant was bought by Brother Zhao. "

"Isn't nurturing one person giving money to another person to raise him?" JOJO listened for a long time, but found the wrong point with her mouth open, and asked Lin Xi curiously with big innocent eyes, "It turns out that if you don't go to bed, you can't sleep." Isn't that considered a nurturing?"

Lin Xi was ashamed and embarrassed, and knocked his head with flushed cheeks: "Shut up, children, don't care about these things!"

"Why can't you care about these?"

"Cough, I'm sorry, JOJO... he's a bit off-line." You Fang apologized to Ma Jiao, who was smiling wryly, observed his expression, slowed down his voice and asked tentatively: "Can you tell me... are you a bit off-line?" Do you like Brother Zhao?"

Ma Jiao smiled bitterly and relieved, and did not hide it: "As expected of a great god... you have seen it. Yes, I do like Brother Zhao... After all, he is very, very good to me... But What's the use of me liking him? He already has someone in his heart, and I'm not even a substitute." He said with a painful expression.

Lu Yao got up and poured him a cup of hot water.

Ma Jiao took a sip of the water, slowly recovered, and smiled gratefully at Lu Yao.Seeing the portrait of Guan Gong, he immediately straightened his expression and said: "I never ask about gang affairs. Brother Zhao is basically obedient to me, even a little overprotective...We have been together for so long, he and I The number of times I got angry can be counted on two hands, and two of them were because of the statue of Guan Gong."
