The splendid flowers bloom on the table, and the fragrance is so fragrant that it is difficult to realize that they have left the branches and become corpses.

Lu Xingchuan watched his father and brother sit down, and then fell into his own seat, and he didn't say a word as usual.

"Here, try the steak I made myself." He Mei changed into a unique virtuous appearance in front of her husband, brought up the exquisite dishes with a smile, and then touched Lu Xingchuan's head: "You eat more, it's too thin."

Lu Yuejing raised his eyebrows on the other side: "Xingchuan is already in the third year of junior high school?"

"Yes." Lu Xingchuan replied.

He had seen this brother in the company of his mother before, and they talked about embarrassment and unhappiness.

The atmosphere is still unpleasant, but there is no escape.

"Study hard, have the opportunity to study abroad, don't just mess around in Beijing like me." Lu Yuejing is obviously a top student at Peking University, but he deliberately said that he was worthless.

Of course, his smart brother understood that this meant telling the other party to get out of the way early.

As the head of the family, Lu Tao always looked at the three of them with a half-smile, feeling that they seemed to get along well, so he said, "Let's eat, Yuejing, you should come back to see your mother more."

"There's a lot to study, and I can't help it." Lu Yuejing made excuses for refusal.

He was only eighteen years old, and he was tired of He Mei's nagging and began to rebel against Lu Tao's control.

"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing all day." Lu Tao's face was cold.

"Oh, our family finally got together, why did we start to be fierce in two sentences?" He Mei brought wine: "Come, it's rare to be happy, and the two children should drink less."

"I'll have to drive in a minute." Lu Yuejing refused.

"Leave tomorrow morning, there is still one shortage of you in school on the big weekend?" He Mei has always regarded her son as a flower in front of her eyes.

"But I just promised Little Joe to take him to a car race." Lu Yuejing said helplessly: "Then I'll drink it, and you can deal with it when he comes to the door in a while."

Lu Tao had a very good relationship with Qiao Bai's father, Qiao Feihong, and waved his hand to stop, "What kind of wine did you drink at a young age? Yuejing, take your brother with you, it just so happens that he and Xiao Qiao are classmates."

He Mei turned to Lu Xingchuan and smiled, "Then let's go outside with my brother after eating."

Lu Xingchuan no longer has any feelings about the two-faced swords of others, he is too naïve and is a privilege that only the lucky ones like Qiao Bai have, and he has already entered this tomb-like marriage, and he has already become a worthless victim in hell.

"Okay." It's not that he can't, but after smiling, it's boundless embarrassment.

When he went out with Lu Yuejing, how he would behave was predicted by Xingchuan without using his brain.

——

Qiao Bai, who was finally able to go out and go crazy, was very excited.

He waved goodbye to his father and Xiao Demu early, humming a song and waiting at the gate of the Lu family.

Seeing that Lu Yuejing's figure finally appeared, he immediately rushed over and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, let's go!" I'm going to be late!"

"Wait a minute, my brother." Lu Yuejing walked under the shade of the tree to start the car.

"Eh, is he going too?" Qiao Bai was not stingy, he had already forgotten about his kung fu after such a while, and ran to the gate of the Lu family and called: "Xingchuan!"

Lu Xingchuan, who put on his coat and went downstairs helplessly, couldn't figure out where he got his self-familiar spirit at all, but he could only let him pull him away under his father's gaze.

"There's still an hour, and if it's a traffic jam, it'll be over!" Qiao Bai had already regarded watching the game as the top priority in his life, and climbed into the back seat, and then shouted to Lu Xingchuan, who was a little hesitant, "What are you doing?"

Lu Xingchuan pulled down the door, but he couldn't open it.

Seeing this, Lu Yuejing didn't say anything, and walked over to reach out to help.

Seeing that the door of the sports car was moving up and down, Lu Xingchuan's embarrassment deepened, and he pretended to sit next to Qiao Bai calmly.

"Mom, Dad, we're leaving." Lu Yuejing shouted into the courtyard.

He Mei appeared in front of the window in style, smiling as warm as the sun: "Pay attention to their safety and come back early."

Seeing that the two of them looked good to Lu Xingchuan, Qiao Bai couldn't help but feel that he was thinking too much a few days ago, so he took out the jelly from his schoolbag and stuffed it into his hand: "Please eat."

"How old are you?" Lu Xingchuan always felt that he was about to become an adult, and he didn't know how he could be so naïve.

Qiao Bai's mouth was bulging from eating, and he replied vaguely, "Fourteen, what's wrong?"

Lu Xingchuan looked at the rapidly regressing street scene depressedly, thinking of the peaceful weekend that could have been spent reading books, and actually having to accompany this fool and black-bellied brother, he felt a sense of suffocation that he wanted to pass out on the spot.

——

Lu Tao treats Xingchuan's mother Anxi well, but she needs very little, so that her son's life is no different from that of an ordinary well-off family.

Something like a car race, of course he hadn't seen it.

When the sports car raced all the way to the suburbs and entered the lively scene, Lu Xingchuan was immediately attracted by the crazy young people who ran to the audience spaciously, so that he sat in his own seat and still did not come back to his senses.

Qiao Bai was very proficient, took out the official gift bag from under the seat, first blew the trumpet, and then took out the national flag sticker and smiled at Lu Yuejing: "Come, I'll stick one for you."

"Shame dog." Lu Yuejing ruthlessly refused, warning this kid, "Don't run around today, otherwise there will be no next time."

"Oh......" Qiao Bai blinked, looked back and saw two big beauties sitting in the back row, and immediately turned around with an innocent face: "Sister, do you want to eat jelly?"

Lu Xingchuan frowned and squinted.

Who knew that the two girls were very happy with the beautiful little Zhengtai: "Okay, do you want to give it to us?"

Qiao Bai immediately handed it over as if he was offering a treasure, and chatted by the way.

It wasn't until this time that Lu Xingchuan discovered that his self-familiarity was not aimed at himself, but that he was born such an unreliable person.

——

After all, he is a boy with strong blood, although he doesn't know the rules very well, but watching the speeding cars drive round and round on the field, the time is still very fast.

Lu Xingchuan didn't say much during the whole process, and when it was almost over, he looked at his watch and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Lu Yuejing had been playing with his mobile phone, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Bai, who was cheering excitedly, and said, "I'll go too."

Qiao Bai was confused, watching the two brothers who didn't care about each other go farther and farther, and became worried inexplicably.

——

The game was still going on, and there was no one in the spacious bathroom.

When Lu Xingchuan was washing his hands, he immediately stiffened when he saw his brother's figure.

"Are you having fun today?" Once Lu Yuejing smiled, his thin lips would be slightly tilted to the side, looking very unfriendly.

Lu Xingchuan turned off the faucet: "It's okay."

"Don't worry, as long as you stay in this house, I will make you happy every day, more and more happy." Lu Yuejing said and patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Xingchuan frowned and quietly clenched his fists.

Lu Yuejing pinched his younger brother's face, and said in a cold voice: "Listen, I can only bear you staying in Beijing until you are eighteen years old, what is yours and what is not yours, you better remember it clearly."

Lu Xingchuan was not submissive, he felt the pain in his face bones, and immediately punched Lu Yuejing in the stomach.

In an instant, Lu Yuejing gave him a harder blow.

Just as the two of them were about to fight, Qiao Bai's voice suddenly sounded from outside: "Brother Lu! Two dogs! It's over! Let's go eat!"

Lu Yuejing didn't seem to want him to see this kind of scene, and instantly let go.

Qiao Bai ran to the door, looked at Lu Xingchuan's eyes shining with anger, and swallowed nervously.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Yuejing took his shoulders and took him out.

"Burger!" Qiao Bai shouted, and looked back at Lu Xingchuan.

He couldn't tell the specific reason, but he saw that this young man who was not easy to approach had a strong back and a flushed face, and his originally relaxed and happy heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by something, and he became very sad.

06

Lu Xingchuan's feeling is not wrong at all, Qiao Bai has never wanted to treat him as a reliable person in his life.

The most unreliable thing about this guy is that he doesn't like to act according to normal reason.

Although an American-style meal was very tempting for Qiao Bai, he was very uncomfortable because of the sibling conflict he had just peeked into, and when he heard Lu Yuejing's friend calling to meet him in the car, he immediately made a fuss: "Brother Lu, I don't want to eat, I want to go home and have dinner with my dad."

"Didn't you just clamore for a hamburger steak?" Lu Yuejing was speechless.

Qiao Bai frowned: "I don't want to eat, I miss Ergou."

Since he was a child, Yuejing on the mainland has been accustomed to this guy's wayward problems, compared to Xingchuan, Qiao Bai is more like his younger brother, anyway, it is not interesting to take a child outside at night, so he sighed and said, "Then I will send you back."

"No, we can just take the bus from the front, there is a direct one." Qiao Bai smiled and said, "You go play with yours."

"Are you not eating it anymore?" Lu Yuejing looked at his younger brother from the rearview mirror.

Lu Xingchuan always looked out the window and said nothing.

"Okay, give me a call when you get home." Lu Yuejing heard the car on the side of the road, pushed the boat down the river and got rid of these two little burdens, pretended to give a few words of advice responsibly, and then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

——

The cold streets of the autumn night finally relaxed Lu Xingchuan's tense nerves, he slowly gasped in the wind, then hesitated to turn his head, frowned and said, "You really don't want to eat? My hungry stomach is crying......

"Hey, hey." Qiao Bai didn't feel embarrassed, and replied with a big grin: "The main thing is that you really don't want to stay with your brother, am I very sensible?"

Regardless of what happened before, Lu Xingchuan could see that his behavior this night was completely because of himself, and he couldn't help asking, "What do you care about me?"

", it's not that I'm afraid that Brother Lu will bully you!" Qiao Bai almost jumped on the spot, then touched his head and said, "Your brother is very smart, and his grades have always been very good, but he has a big demerit in any school, just because he always bullies his classmates and fights, and then Uncle Lu spent money to smooth it out...... Although he is good to me, I think that I am not a mother with him, and I must be very unkind to you......

"Really?" Lu Xingchuan was stunned.

No wonder Qiao Bai has been saying arrogant words to help him since the day he saw him.

It doesn't matter if he's nosy or not, after all, he's also kind.

Thinking about it from this, Lu Xingchuan's original boredom faded a lot.

Just as the two of them were standing on the side of the road, Qiao Bai's stomach screamed again.

Lu Xingchuan sighed: "Why don't I invite you to dinner?"

"Yes, yes." Qiao Bai was immediately elated.

"I can't afford the kind of restaurant my brother goes to, eat McDonald's." Lu Xingchuan saw M Ji on the other side of the road, turned his head and walked there, although he got the pocket money that Lu Tao asked Uncle Wang to give him regularly, he didn't want to squander it casually.

Who knew that Qiao Bai, who looked squeamish, was not picky, and followed the fart next to him and ordered: "I want to eat a double custard burger, and I want to eat a sundae, ahhh

Lu Xingchuan couldn't help but look sideways at his stomach.

Qiao Bai actually lifted his T-shirt on the street and looked at his white and tender belly: "What's wrong, I'm not fat."

"Hurry up and eat, I'm going home to read." Lu Xingchuan felt embarrassed, so he suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him away in three steps and two steps.

Qiao Bai still smiled: "You like to read, don't you like to read my dad's books?" I have a lot of them in my house, and I suspect they are all stocks that he can't sell!"

——

People who have a good appetite at all times are especially lucky, at least when they encounter unhappiness, they can vent by eating and drinking.

After Qiao Bai got the pile of junk food he ordered, he rolled up his sleeves and ate happily.

On the contrary, Lu Xingchuan is an unlucky ghost who is particularly easy to lose his appetite, and he recalled the evil voice of his brother he heard in the racing venue, and his heart was inevitably filled with grievances and anger.

"What's the matter, you're still figuring it out?" Qiao Bai bit the fries and persuaded, "Brother Lu is that virtuous, take care of it first."

"Aren't you on good terms with him?" Lu Xingchuan questioned, after all, this guy had to be jealous and attentive before watching the car competition.

Qiao Bai smiled evilly: "It's good, are you jealous?"

"Are you sick?" Lu Xingchuan came from the bottom of his heart.

"He's good to me, I'm good to him, they're all neighbors." Qiao Bai took it for granted, and then added: "But I don't like him bullying people very much, and ......."

He preached here, looking around, as if he had mentioned some horror: "He likes men."

Lu Xingchuan, who was drinking Coke, choked instantly, covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Qiao Bai leaned back with a smile: "It's true, I didn't lie."

"People's **, you talk nonsense, is that okay?" Lu Xingchuan wiped the corners of his mouth with a face towel.

"What...... Qiao Bai pouted: "Your father and your stepmother had a quarrel because of this before, and our neighbors all knew about it, and then my mother didn't ask me to play with him, but my dad told me that it was nothing, and it was normal for me to be gay."

Lu Xingchuan is completely unenlightened in terms of feelings, although he likes girls in the original school, but he is upset about family affairs, and his attention is not there at all, and his first love has not even happened, let alone understanding comrades, so he just dislikes: "Your expression doesn't seem to be normal."

"It's funny." Qiao Bai didn't understand: "The man doesn't have big breasts, where is it?"

Lu Xingchuan didn't want to talk about this with an idiot guy who had just known him for a few days, so he turned his head sideways in embarrassment and didn't answer.

"Why are you still blushing? Would you like me to lend you something good?" What Qiao Bai said didn't match his angelic face.

"Save it." Lu Xingchuan said disgustedly.

Qiao Bai held back a laugh for a while, and then said, "Hey, I won't talk nonsense with you, anyway, after they quarreled, Brother Lu went to live in Peking University, and he usually doesn't go home, if you come back, don't be alone with him, there will be nothing, he is very afraid of Uncle Lu."

In his new home, Lu Xingchuan was completely confused as if he had stepped into a dark void, but now listening to this kid's ramblings, he inexplicably found some indescribable sense of security, and had the illusion that he was not surviving alone.

"I've told you so much, let's make friends." Qiao Bai's claws reached out to his McNuggets.

Lu Xingchuan didn't react: "What's the good of making friends with someone as boring as me?"

"I like you a lot, you look like my second dog." Qiao Bai took out a photo of Xiao Demu from his wallet and gestured to his face: "Really!"

"Where's it!" Lu Xingchuan never liked to be excited, but now he suddenly had an urge to push him.

"Eyes! Black shiny black shiny! Hee-hee-hee!" Qiao Bai laughed enough before saying, "Actually, it's called a pickup, and it's a birthday gift from my mother, it's super cute."

Lu Xingchuan couldn't help but say, "It should be called Chopper."

"Huh! Why do you also watch "One Piece......" Qiao Bai instantly covered his face in horror, looking like he had dropped his vest.

"Your nickname?" Lu Xingchuan asked rhetorically.

Qiao Bai snorted, "Boring, broken comics."

"It's pretty good, God." Lu Xingchuan is not a lively personality after all, and when he saw that the food on the table was almost the same, he got up and said, "Go home."

"Yes." Qiao Bai hooked up with his shoulder, and then continued to be depressed: "Hey, why are you taller than me?"

「…… You're not going to find out today, are you?" Lu Xingchuan looked sideways.

Qiao Bai was confused.

"Have you heard a word?" Lu Xingchuan smiled rarely.

"What?" Qiao Bai had an ominous premonition.

"Dogs look down on people."

「……」
