When Qiangzi and I returned to the residence, Lei Lei and the others had already returned, and the third, fourth and seventh ducks were playing poker.

'Brush!'

Lei Lei looked up at me and Qiangzi who entered the door, and didn't speak, just continued to play cards.

I took the strong son into the room and took the initiative to say to them: "I will introduce you to someone!"

"Yo, Brother Fei is taking the little brother with you!" The third child squinted at Qiangzi, and said to me with a smile.

"Third brother, this is one of my little hair! Qiangzi, this is the third brother!"

"Third brother!"

"This is Leng Lei!"

"Brother Lei!"

"This is Sister Ting!" I pointed to the duck and spoke again.

"Han Fei, you hate Ang!" The fourth duck pinched the orchid and pointed at me, and then smiled at Qiangzi: "Don't listen to his nonsense, just call me Tingting!"

"Hey...!" Qiangzi looked at the charming appearance of the duck and was a little cold.

"This is the seventh child!"

"Hello!" Hadron greeted politely again.

"Snort!" Lao Qi glanced at Qiangzi and let out a sigh of relief through his nostrils.

When I finished introducing everyone to Qiangzi, Lei Lei never said a word, and was silent for a long time before he looked at me and said, "What do you mean?"

I smiled at Lei Lei: "I'm small!"

"Hehe!" Lei Lei looked at the strong son meaningfully, and then nodded: "Hello!"

The third child also laughed: "Do you know how to play poker?"

Hadron grinned: "Yes!"

"Let's play together!" the third threw the cards into the pile, and then began to reshuffle the cards, making way for me and Qiangzi, and then the six of us sat around and played double up.

In the process of playing poker, there was basically no communication between me and Lao Qi, but the two of us did not have any friction again, and we both knew in our hearts that everyone still had to mix in a circle, so we also took each other's dimensions and no longer let the conflict escalate.

After playing cards at night, Qiangzi didn't leave, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, in the early hours of the morning, Lei Lei didn't know where to call a girl, and the two of them tossed for half the night.

……

The next morning, after I got up, I got dressed, and squatted in the yard with a water cup to brush my teeth.

"Poof!"

After I spit out the mouthwash water, I turned my head to look at Lei Lei: "I want to talk to you!"

Lei Lei held the water cup and glanced at me casually: "...... Let's talk!"

"You've been looking at me a lot lately!" I sat on a chair on the side and talked to Lei Lei in a chat-like tone.

"What do I think you're not pleasing to?"

"Don't pretend, I can feel it, you have emotions for me, is it because of Beijing?"

"......!" Lei Lei brushed his teeth, not admitting or denying it.

"We chose to go to Beijing together, I know why you are angry with me, because in the end I didn't choose to accompany you back to Anyang, right? But you should know me, the reason why I chose to stay is not because I covet life in Beijing, but because I can't leave Gao Lei behind, do you understand......

Lei Lei waved his hand and interrupted me: "I didn't force you to come back, you don't have to explain this to me!"

"But I'm already back! And I left Gao Lei behind, just to be with you, because you are my brother! If there is a gap between you and me, then does it make sense for me to stay in this circle?"

"Why is it meaningless, doesn't Madman Tian like you very much!"

"The reason why I have stayed until today, and I still haven't left, is not because of Tian Madman, but because you are Leng Lei!" I looked at Lei Lei's indifferent appearance, and my mood was very low.

"Han Fei, let me reiterate once again, the contradiction between you and Lao Qi has nothing to do with me, and I personally have no dissatisfaction with you!"

I nodded and stretched out my finger to the house: "Okay, then let me ask you, if I go in and fight with Lao Qi now, who will you help?!"

"I'll help Lao Qi!" Lei Lei replied without hesitation.

"Why?"

"Because Lao Qi is my younger brother, and you are not!" After Lei Lei finished speaking, he got up and planned to leave.

"Leng Lei!" I saw that Lei Lei was leaving, and opened his mouth to shout, Lei Lei's body froze, standing in place, I looked at his back and sighed: "Are we still brothers?"

After listening to my words, Lei Lei stood in place and was stunned for a moment, and then didn't make a sound, and went back to the room with a step, I sat outside alone, and I was in a very bad mood, I don't know why, since I came back in Beijing, my relationship with Lei Lei has become more and more rusty, I have a hunch that the friendship between the two of us is getting closer and closer to the break.

I was sitting alone sulking, and the fourth duck also walked out of the room, he first looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he hooked his finger at me: "Hey! Han Fei!"

"What's wrong?" I asked with a frown as I looked at the duck's charming little eyes.

"Come with me!" The fourth duck waved his hand at me and took the lead in walking out of the courtyard, I looked at the mysterious appearance of the fourth god, and stood up curiously.

Outside the yard.

"Come here, what are you doing so far away from me!" The fourth duck was a little displeased when he saw me keeping a distance of two meters from him.

"You can say anything, what are you doing so close, there are no outsiders here!"

"I hate it, are you still afraid that I will eat you?" the fourth duck rolled his eyes at me again and walked over.

"Leng Xin told me, when you were down, you once sold a fart eye, you tell me the truth, are you the same sex?" I looked at the duck and asked a little apprehensively.

"Oh, don't I belong to life!" The duck replied with a coquettish smile: "Don't worry, I have no idea about you, and I prefer to slap women than being scolded by men!"

"That's good, in this society now, there are fewer and fewer types of animals, but there are more and more types of people, but as long as you don't plan to deal with me, that's fine!"

"Don't be annoying, I'll tell you the right thing!" The fourth took another step: "I heard just now, you quarreled with Lei Lei?"

After a few days of contact, I found that the fourth child was not a bit of a mother, but in fact, there was nothing bad about him, so I teased him: "What's the matter, you also plan to be like the third child, stand out for Lei Lei and them?"

"You can pull it down, fighting is what your old men do, I don't want to get involved!" The fourth child pursed his lips and smiled at me, and then sighed resentfully: "I, I just don't think it's worth it for you!"

"Isn't it worth it for me?" I was amused by the fourth child's words.

"Well, it's just not worth it for you...... Sit down for a while!" The fourth child found a stone to sit down, then took out two crumpled cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to me: "Han Fei, I heard them chat before, mentioned you, and knew you more or less, but after I really got to know you, I realized that the you I saw were different from what Lei Lei said!"

"What kind of me am in Lei Lei's mouth?" I was very interested in the topic of the fourth child, and I also sat next to him with a cigarette in my mouth.

The fourth thought for a while: "In your heart, Lei Lei has always been your best brother, right!"

"Yes!" I didn't think twice.

"But have you ever thought about whether Lei Lei has ever regarded you as a brother?"

“...... What do you mean by that?"

"Before this, Lei Lei mentioned you, he said more than once, you are not a good person, he said that you are timid, and when you do a lot of things, you are also quite cowardly, anyway, in a word, you are too indecisive, Lei Lei said, people like you are not worth making friends!"

"Are these words said by Lei Lei?" I opened my eyes wide and looked at the fourth child incredulously.

"I have no grievances with you, there is no need to lie to you!" The fourth child shrugged his shoulders innocently and continued: "Lei Lei also said that you didn't choose to come back with him from Beijing at the beginning, just to make more money for yourself, and he also said that when you came back from Beijing this time, Zhang Zongliang must have given you a lot of money, but you would rather see everyone starve than take out this money, so for this matter, everyone also has an opinion about you...... Forget it, since I've said so much, I'll just tell you everything, when Lei Lei said these words, Madman Tian also heard it, the reason why he is so good to you now is because he thinks you are rich!"

"......!" Duck Laosi's words, I was stunned, and at the same time I felt very desperate in my heart, this is the first time in my life that I know that I will be so unbearable in the eyes of my closest people.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the duck reached out and patted me on the shoulder: "Han Fei, in fact, I don't think it's a big deal in this matter, because your money is also earned by your girlfriend's hard work, whether to give it to others or not, it is your freedom, I have been to the sea and been a duck, so I naturally know how difficult it is to make money in this industry, so I can understand you!"

"Hehe!" I shook my head slightly, and squeezed out a wry smile at the fourth child: "If I say, I will bring back a thousand yuan from Beijing, do you believe it?"

"A thousand bucks?"

"Yes!"

Duck Lao Si pointed at himself: "Do you think I look like a fool?"

"Hehe, believe it or not!"

"......" Duck didn't answer me, but I could tell from the look in his eyes that he thought I was watching out for him.

"Hehe, a year ago, I thought I met a good big brother like Zhang Zongliang, so I went to Beijing with Lei Lei, and then Lei Lei had a conflict with him and chose to leave alone, at that time Lei Lei asked me to go with him, I didn't agree, because I knew that if I went with Lei Lei, then Zhang Zongliang's business in Beijing would definitely not be done, in that case, he would blame all the faults on Lei Lei, I think we owe Zhang Zongliang, so I want to return this kindness, and I don't want everyone to be completely stiff because of this matter, but I can't figure out why in the end, but I became a victim of this!"

"Alas......"

The fourth sighed and looked at me sympathetically: "Han Fei, believe me, leave this circle, now all the people here have prejudices against you in their hearts, even if you stay, everyone will not have a heart-to-heart with you, the circle is different, why bother to melt it?"

"No, Lei Lei got into trouble in Inner Mongolia, and when I went to pick him up, he told me that from the day I picked him up, we were brothers!" I shook my head stubbornly, constantly finding reasons to comfort myself.

"I can't really say anything about you...... You're just stupid!" The fourth child looked at me helplessly: "Have you ever thought about it, if Lei Lei really treats you as a brother, will the third child dare to bully you?

"I'm not his brother, but he's my brother!" I smiled, stood up and patted the fourth child on the shoulder: "Thank you, at this time, you can still say so many sincere things to me!"

"When I went to other places, I was also excluded by others, and I can understand this feeling of being excluded!" The fourth child also laughed: "But we are different, if one day I can't bear it, I will choose to leave!"

"...... me?"

I looked at a lone goose across the sky at the entrance of the alley, and I was sad.

At this moment, I am like the lonely goose, trying to find a flock of geese that can give me a sense of belonging, no matter how much this group of geese hates me, but for me, this is a nest.
