After getting off the high-speed rail station and taking the subway to the neighborhood, Ren Suo felt like he was home for a long time.
Miraculously, this may be the first time in the past two years that he has gone home in a regular way.
He went home for the first time this year and was transferred from Lianjiang City to Baiyun City in the ambulance, completely unconscious.
The second time I went home, I was sitting in Qiao Muyi's car. I was harassed many times by the female driver like a spoiled pretty girl. Along the way, I was petting the cat and staring at Qiao Muyi. How could I still want to go home?
The third time I went home, right now, I took public transportation honestly and enjoyed the convenience of city facilities, the speeding high-speed train, the security check of the subway, the slightly crowded flow of people, and the slightly shaking carriage, making Ren Suo taste the feeling of 'waiting'
'The taste of happiness.
Ren Suo doesn't like traveling. One of the important reasons is that he doesn't like to spend time in traffic. Ren Suo, who has had symptoms of motion sickness since he was a child, has experienced many unexpected incidents of being vomited by buses during spring and autumn outings.
I am becoming more and more resistant, after all, there is not a subway everywhere.
And even if he could take a taxi, Ren Suo would still have to talk to people with different accents and watch the unfamiliar map move before arriving at his destination, which undoubtedly made Ren Suo feel very troublesome.
But going home is different.
Going home is returning to a familiar place from a strange place. You can plan the route without a map. There are already expected queues of people, you are accustomed to the station announcements, and even the chatting voices are full of familiar swear words... It makes people feel at ease.
.
However, when Ren Suo and his sister were changing subway lines, his sister suddenly grabbed him.
"Can... go home?"
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment: "We are just going home."
"I mean, go back to Lianjiang," Ren Xingmei said with a hint of pleading in her voice: "I will call my mother later to explain. Can I go back to see them after a while? We don't need to be in such a hurry."
As she got closer and closer to her familiar home, Ren Xingmei became more and more frightened.
She thought she was strong enough to face whatever happened, she thought she was ready to fly into a flame, and she thought the determination she made in junior high school would crush all gossip.
But no.
Moths fly to the fire because there is nothing in the darkness, so even if there is just a glimmer of light, the moth is willing to burn the whole world, just to keep itself warm.
But Ren Xingmei's world is not all dark. She was born to be guarded by the warm sun and cared for by the naughty moon.
If Dong Chengling knew her sincerity and Qiao Muyi guessed her wrong love, it only made Ren Xingmei a little embarrassed, then facing her parents directly, Ren Xingmei suspected that her sanity would collapse.
Ren Xingmei loves her parents more than anyone else. No matter in terms of deeds or heart, Ren Suo can't compare to her. 60% of the elopement fund prepared by Ren Xingmei is pension for her parents, which is enough for them to live in the future.
Before your blood pressure gets too high to get on a plane, you can travel around the world at the highest level. If you are still not satisfied, you can even go back a few more times.
The plan she had made for several years was very detailed, including how to tell her parents when the time came, what to do if they broke up, how to prepare heart-saving pills, how often to return home after elopement...
However, now that Ren Suo hasn't even given a reply, Ren Xingmei doesn't even dare to see her parents.
She was not only afraid that Ren Suo would give an answer that she didn't want to hear, but she was even more afraid that Ren Suo would give an answer that would disappoint her parents.
Ren Xingmei, who has always hated escaping and believed that a happy future must be earned through hard work, subconsciously wanted to drag Ren Suo back to Lianjiang to escape reality.
In fact, as long as they don't say anything, their parents will know nothing; even if Ren Suo doesn't reply, Ren Xingmei thinks it doesn't matter.
If the status quo can be maintained, it will be the best for Ren Xingmei.
Perhaps Ren Xingmei was escaping from the beginning: save enough money before starting, go to college before thinking about it, graduate before taking action... After dragging and dragging, Dongcheng Ling Qiao Mu Yi Gu Yueyan appeared one by one.
She could only watch everything happen, using Ah Q's spiritual method to draw circles and curse them for hating her brother.
She had the closest relationship with Ren Suo from the beginning, so she was so hesitant, like a child with a perfect cake. She wanted to taste the deliciousness but didn't want to ruin the perfect appearance. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't
I thought someone actually came to share the cake.
Last night when others were discussing the issue of 'who comes first and who comes last', Ren Xingmei was a little disdainful and a little superior - she is Ren Suo's only childhood sweetheart. When they played in the mud together, you must have been less naive!
Therefore, Ren Xingmei would rather Ren Suo didn't reply to her than to have their family relationship undergo drastic changes now.
She now also found out that she had been deceived by Loliface, who encouraged her by saying things like, "Why don't you delay him?" and "Are you willing?" However, Loliface was completely different from her -
—
First, Loliface and Ross are not siblings!
Second, Loliface is an orphan!
She envied Loliface, but she couldn't be Loliface.
Feeling the fear in his sister's voice, Ren Suo breathed out, held her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Has your brother ever lied to you?"
Even with your IQ, you can’t deceive me!
Ren Xingmei no longer even thought about complaining, and walked into the subway like a puppy as she was led by Ren Suo.
Ren Suo did not let go of her, as if he was afraid that the sister would escape and slip back to Lianjiang. He held her while playing with his mobile phone.
When there was still one stop left from home, Ren Xingmei suddenly tried to break away from Ren Suo's hand, and Ren Suo subconsciously increased his strength. He was now a fourth-level monk, and his physical enhancement after being promoted to cyclone was gradually revealed. With his physical strength, he could easily suppress his sister.
This is a second-level monk.
He saw his sister looking anxiously at the door, and when he stood up, he saw a girl standing behind them.
"Little Xingxing!" the girl greeted, "Long time no see. I heard you went to Tianlian Academy? Hey? Did you bring your boyfriend home?"
Ren Xingmei: "He is my brother."
The girl looked at Ren Suo with little stars in her eyes: "Oh...wait a minute, speaking of little stars, your brother is the Holy Fist who ranks at the top of the third-turn monk rankings..."
"That's right, that person is me, Ren Suo, the Heaven-Mending Tribulation Hand!" Ren Suo said confidently.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and all the little stars in her eyes were shattered. After greeting Ren Xingmei for a few words, she walked to the other side of her own accord and did not disturb them again.
After the acquaintance left, Ren Xingmei complained: "Why didn't you let go of my hand just now?"
"Why let go?"
"Avoid suspicion! It's not good to be seen by others. Fortunately, that person is my high school classmate. He usually has a tight tongue, so he shouldn't talk nonsense."
Ren Suo scratched his head: "But you don't call this avoidance of suspicion, right? To avoid suspicion is to act upright, stand up straight, and have a clear conscience. You look like you have a guilty conscience..."
Ren Xingmei's face turned red and she asked, "What about you?"
"I?"
Without waiting for Ren Suo to answer, the subway arrived. It was the closest subway station to their hometown community.
Ren Xingmei breathed out softly and waited for Ren Suo to take her home. However, Ren Suo did not lead her away until the screen door closed.
Noticing his sister's confused look, Ren Suo smiled and said, "Before you go home for dinner, please accompany me to a place first."
After two stops, Ren Suo took his sister out. Without looking at the signs or map, Ren Suo took his sister and took Exit F to leave.
As soon as she left the station, Ren Xingmei turned around and saw several familiar white buildings: "Southern Second Hospital?"
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University is the hospital where Ren Suo lived when he was in coma. It is also the hospital where Ren Xingmei lived for the longest time.
Ren Suo took his sister and walked to the atrium of the hospital. Although there was no flower garden fountain like the big hospitals in TV series, there were some patches of grass and green plants and a few benches.
Patients come to sit in the atrium when they have time. After all, the green grass looks very comfortable, without any traces of garbage or trampling. In the garden of the hospital, the warning "Today you step on my head, tomorrow I will grow on your grave"
The slogans all appear to be particularly powerful and effective.
Ren Suo pulled his sister to sit down and looked at the crowded corridors and familiar buildings. He suddenly pointed to the road by the creek not far away and said, "Wasn't that a cobblestone road before?"
"Not only is it not a cobblestone road, there is no stream either." Ren Xingmei said, "I don't know where the running water is."
"I wonder if the chubby head nurse is still there."
"It's been more than ten years. I remember that the head nurse was already quite old. If she were still here, it would be even worse."
"Maybe. I used to be a handsome doctor who often gave me sweets. Now his bald photo is hanging in the chief physician column at the door. Time is really a butcher's knife."
Talking about the hospital, Ren Suo and his sister started talking, from doctors and nurses to architectural styles. People who didn't know heard their conversation and might have thought that the two of them were interns without white coats.
While chatting, Ren Suo suddenly raised his forehead and sighed: "This hospital actually occupied such a large share of my childhood memories..."
Ren Xingmei smiled and said, "After all, you used to stay with me in the hospital."
"It's not just the hospital," Ren Suo raised his head and looked at the white clouds above his head and said: "There are also communities, homes, squares, shopping malls... When we were young, we almost all acted together. You have me in your memories, and my memories
You are inside."
Ren Suo said seriously: "I have always had very few friends, so I have always been lucky to have you as my sister."
Ren Xingmei seemed to feel something, she closed her lips tightly and listened to Ren Suo's trial of her.
"Meeting new friends is very troublesome. You have to introduce yourself and adjust your views. However, you will still hurt others unintentionally, or be hurt by others... So Xingmei, you are the most special existence to me."
"The adventures of Little Tigers that I watched with the fan blowing in the summer, the fun games that I spent time with you in the hospital to play through, the joy of being a child that I enjoyed during the Spring Festival firecrackers, and many, many more, you participated in everything
in."
"In my past life, I ate with you, played with you, drank with you, and had fun with you... Xingmei, you made up my life. Without you,
I definitely can only make friends with loneliness."
Ren Suo turned his head and looked at her and said: "And to you, I am equivalent to a similar existence."
"So, you will have some kind of illusion, some kind of wrong love. Secret love is the easiest way to move yourself and hypnotize yourself. The world in your eyes will put on a thick filter, making you mistakenly think that it is reality.
"
Ren Xingmei: "I..."
"Because if you like someone for a long time, it is equivalent to completely tying that person to your past. If you regret someone you liked before, isn't it like denying all your previous time?"
Ren Xingmei bit her lips and stared at Ren Suo without saying a word.
"It took ten years to brew a daughter's beauty, but I was already drunk enough to make it flesh and blood."
Ren Suo said softly: "Should all seeds bloom and bear fruit? Those seeds that fall into the saline-alkali soil, miraculously bear bitter fruits and bloom the flowers of evil fate, are they the best fate if they never germinate from the beginning?
?”
"You are afraid of being seen by your classmates and afraid of confessing to your parents. Can you bear the censure and rumors that have not yet happened?"
There was mist in Ren Xingmei's eyes. She suddenly understood Gu Yueyan's mood. However, she was completely inferior to Gu Yueyan - seeds that sprouted later still had room to compete, but seeds that grew in the wrong place had to be uprooted.
fate.
"No, you can't bear it."
Ren Suo looked at his phone, took her hand and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home for dinner."
Ren Xingmei nodded silently, she suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
People are so weird. If you hand in your summer homework halfway through, you will be so anxious that you can't sleep at night because you wonder whether the teacher will find out and punish you. But if you hand in a blank homework directly, you will expect the worst.
The ending will make you feel at ease - the unknown horror is far better than the tragedy.
You are anxious and afraid because you have always been expecting and worrying about something in your heart. It always makes you feel that there may be a surprise in the next second.
Tragedy is not scary, it is the surprise that does not belong to oneself that makes people worry about gains and losses.
Just like your favorite TV series may have a sequel.
But now that the sequel has been shot, she naturally let go of all expectations and mentally prepared herself to end this story that was not interesting and even disliked by everyone.
When she returned to the community, Ren Xingmei saw Ren's mother buying groceries in front of her, so she broke free from Ren Suo's hand and ran all the way to help her mother carry the grocery basket. She naturally switched to the persona of a good girl.
Ren's mother was so angry when she saw Ren Suo: "Look at you, you don't even know how to take the initiative to help get things! Are you a lazy pig?"
Ren Suo, who was too lazy to take things, nodded: "I'm a lazy pig."
"Are you a pig? You are worse than a pig, and you can't even hold a cabbage!" Speaking of this, Ren's mother got angry, snorted coldly, and took her good daughter home.
Ren Suo scratched his head in confusion, thinking that he just asked his mother to cook some food, why was he so angry?
After going home for a while, Ren's father also rode his bicycle home. His eyes lit up when he saw Ren Suo. He came over and patted Ren Suo's shoulder and said, "Let's have a drink later."
Ren Suo: "I don't drink..."
"When you are sad, you should use your sorrow to relieve your sorrow." Dad Ren said with a happy face:
"If you don't drink, then let's not drink anything white first. When I passed by the canteen, I asked them to bring a bunch of beer for you and me to drink slowly later. Your dad has no class in the afternoon."
One of you skipped classes and the other had no classes. This life is too exciting, right?
When Ren's mother prepared a sumptuous meal and put it on the table, Ren's father poured a full glass of beer for Ren Suo and said in an encouraging tone: "Don't worry, son. Although you have gone astray, you will not have to start over again. You are still young!"
"
Although she felt very unhappy, it was her son after all, so Ren's mother reluctantly encouraged him: "You have to be a human being in the future. Your parents can't help you. You can only rely on yourself to live a happy life."
Ren Suo was stunned by what they said, and asked: "Have you all guessed it?"
Father Ren, who looked loving, and Ma Ren, who sighed, nodded. Ma Ren said, "You are my son. I know when you raise your buttocks and poop and pee. How can you hide it from me? Tell me now, so that everyone can
Be more comfortable."
Ren Xingmei looked at them with some confusion. She always felt that her brother and parents were not on the same channel.
Ren Suo thought that this was true, so he asked: "Then you have to answer me a question first."
Dad Ren: "Lin Xianyu."
Ren’s mother: “I can’t choose.”
Ren Suo didn't bother to pay attention to which channel their thoughts jumped to, and asked directly: "Are Xingmei and I brother and sister?"
Ren Xingmei was stunned for a moment, looked at Ren Suo in astonishment, and then at her parents.
"Hmm? Well, of course... hmm?"
The expressions of Father Ren and Mother Ren changed drastically in an instant, but they were both seasoned veterans. Mother Ren put down her chopsticks, managed to calm down and said with a smile: "Why do you ask such a question? Of course it's a kiss."
"I don't believe it," Ren Suo said directly: "It's useless for you to lie to me. I just need to take some hair from me, my sister and you to test the DNA, and then I will know the result——"
Soon enough, Ren's mother suddenly picked up a beer bottle and was about to smash the table in protest, but Ren's father, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, stopped her: "Calm down, you made all these dishes!"
Ren's mother gasped heavily, thinking that it took her a lot of effort to serve a table full of food, so she slowly put down the beer bottle, stared at Ren Suo and said: "If you dare to do any DNA testing, then you will never come back to this house in your life."
Dad Ren also said: "Whether you are siblings or not, you are all our children. Suo Zai, your mother is serious. She doesn't want our relationship to deteriorate because of a useless DNA report."
"
Ren Suo said: "I understand that if it were me, I would do the same thing. If I adopt a child, the best way is of course not to let her doubt her life experience and let her grow up happily. After all, both parents have
Children can avoid a lot of bullying in childhood. The information of the original parents must also give way before the child grows up."
"But now that we are all grown up, do we really not even have the right to know?"
Although he said this, Ren Suo was very sure that his sister was adopted. After all, the figures of her parents who appeared in her childhood memories were completely different from those of her parents and her mother.
But there is another possibility, that is, he is also adopted. On a dark and windy night, when Ren’s mother went to recharge her phone bill, suddenly...
Ren's mother narrowed her eyes at them and said, "You haven't yet."
"When will that happen?"
"Let's wait until you two get married and start a family." Ren's mother said, "Only when you are both happy and no longer entangled by the phantoms of the past, I will let you know the truth."
Ren Suo and Ren Xingmei looked at each other, and Ren Xingmei nodded.
She is already very satisfied with the result!
Ren Suo and her are actually not siblings!
Although Ren Xingmei knew that this didn't mean much. At most, it meant that she had less moral flaws and less scruples when reproducing, but it didn't help the relationship between the two of them.
Ren Suo believed that her feelings were an illusion bound by the past, a secret love that could not stand the test, and a flower of bad fate that should not bloom. Then Ren Xingmei had no choice.
Loliface has a saying that is right, if you wishful thinking, you have to be willing to admit defeat.
Ren Suo breathed out: "It's nothing, I just want to confirm this matter. Anyway, no matter what, you are my parents."
"When I came back, I actually wanted to tell you something else."
I'm coming!
Ren's mother and Ren's father, who were in a bad mood due to this episode, recovered in an instant.
Needless to say, Ren's father was full of expectations, waiting for Ren Suo to tell the news that he had been dumped, and then, as a father, he comforted him, guided him, and hinted him to pursue true happiness.
Ren's mother refused to admit defeat. How could she continue to pursue her after being dumped? She must never give up hope as a human being, maybe someone would be blind again? She wanted to encourage her son, a lazy pig, to strike out again, so she had to give her a shot no matter what.
Cabbage is back!
Facing the expectant eyes of his parents, Ren Suo coughed, and in front of his sister's stunned gaze, he took her hand and raised it up, saying:
"Dad, Mom, I like Xingmei."
Ren's parents blinked, as if they thought they heard something wrong.
"I liked Xingmei when I was a child because I thought she was my best friend and the sister I must protect."
"I liked Xingmei when I was a teenager because she, like Yugi, was my purest first love."
"I like Xingmei now because I hope that she who accompanied me in the first half of my life can continue to accompany me in the second half of my life."
"Brother..." Ren Xingmei couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
Ren Suo turned his head, looked at her and blinked: "Of course the seeds that fell on the saline-alkali land should not bear fruit, but it is not the seeds that should be blamed, but the saline-alkali land."
"Xingmei, you and I were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. I have all your illusions and your wrong loves."
"You have been a game master that I have admired since I was a child. Did I really just want to play games when I was honing my gaming skills? Yes, but the more reason is that I just want to find a reason to play with you."
Ren Xingmei murmured: "So your level has already been tempered..."
Ren Suo's face darkened, then he laughed and said: "Our past has long been tightly bound and inseparable."
"It's not that I was moved by you, nor did I fall in love with you, but... I suddenly had a new idea."
"You and I tried every means to save Zhao Ling'er, we practiced jump sniping hard to beat the gunsmith in the next class, and we helped my parents with housework in order to buy games... It's you who made me who I am today."
"There is nothing wrong with being bound by the past. It is precisely because we have a good past that we have expectations for the future.
"I also want to play more games with you, witness the development of games, play virtual reality VR games together, and welcome the holographic era of intubation in the back of the head together..."
"My future cannot be without you."
"And..." Ren Suo turned his head, his eyes drifted, and his tone became erratic: "You don't have to worry about too much debt..."
Ren Xingmei stupidly listened to Ren Suo's messy confession. After sorting it out, she suddenly smiled and said, "You like me just because you want me to help you play games?"
"is it not OK?"
"How could there be a brother like you..."
"Because I have a sister like you."
Ren Xingmei blinked her eyes, with the moonlight shining in her eyes, and said softly: "Oh, why are you so bad at the game? You really can't even watch me, then..."
"This little girl is not talented, but I am willing to agree to your lifelong request to form a team. No matter any criticism or rumors, I will -"
Ren Suo shook his head: "No need, as a salt-alkali land where the flowers of evil fate bloom, I have long been aware of it. I will handle all the blame -"
Snapped!
When the two of them were chatting, Ren's father and Ren's mother did not drop the line.
They silently put the food on the table in a safe place behind them, and then put a dozen beer bottles on the table. After hearing Ren Suo's words, Ren's mother picked up two beer bottles and was about to smash them over - her son became
One of the benefits of becoming a monk is that you don't need to keep your hands when fighting, and you can use any tools.
At this time, Dad Ren stopped her again: "Wait a minute, son, let me ask you, what are you going to do with the other girls?"
"Of course I can't let them down. I'm not a scumbag." Ren Suo said matter-of-factly.
For a moment, he didn't know if the word 'let down' was used in this way. Dad Ren was silent. He said to Mom Ren, "Wait a minute. I'll go and draw the curtains. Don't expose the family scandal to anyone."
Ren Suo's eyebrows jumped wildly when he saw it, and he quickly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, can we discuss it calmly? Mom, put down the beer bottle first!"
Ren's mother gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Fuck, trough, nigga!"
Mom has gone crazy.
Ren Suo swallowed, pulled his sister back and said, "Didn't you say that you had guessed my purpose? Didn't you say that you know that I raise my buttocks to shit and urinate? Why are you still so angry!"
"How could I have guessed that you damn thing would actually want to eat your own baby cabbage? Lift your butt up! I won't bully you either. I spanked you ten times when you were a child, and I spank you ten times now!"
