All the great truths in the book tell us that people should live for their freedom.

But Lu Xingchuan, who has changed too much because of stupid Qiao Bai, feels unprecedented happiness.

He began to get out of the study, learn the arts, practice cooking, and gradually discovered that the world was so vast and interesting in the face of the constant influx of new things.

In this way, it seems to be contrary to the truth in the book, is it considered to be the right life?

After high school, Lu Xingchuan thought for a long time before he suddenly realized that in fact, he did not live for Qiao Bai, but chose the greatest freedom in his life - he chose to like someone with his inner voice, and he has always liked him, and he never intends to change.

――

Qiao Bai, who is still swaying in Nancheng, has not changed much, although he has also put on his high school uniform, he still looks like he is alive all day long.

On this day, he rubbed the Lu family's car after school, and casually asked: "Did the entertainment company ask you to start training?" How's that? ”

Lu Xingchuan replied: "It's okay, I just want to learn music, headache." ”

"Art students have to learn, what's wrong?" Qiao Bai knows this very well because of his mother's relationship.

Lu Xingchuan fell silent.

Qiao Bai looked at him curiously, and suddenly realized: "Hey, are you incomplete in five tones?" I've never heard you sing! ”

The embarrassed Lu Xingchuan still didn't speak.

Qiao Bai suddenly looked at the joke and didn't think it was a big deal: "I'm still thinking that you can do anything, it turns out that you also have shortcomings, no one is perfect, don't be too sad, Conan is also a patient with pentatonic insufficiency." ”

"I'm not upset." Lu Xingchuan was helpless.

"Why don't I teach you how to play the guitar? If you want to go to an art school in the future, you have to perform some talents. Qiao Bai said: "But if you don't want to study art, it doesn't matter, anyway, I think you can pass the Tsinghua University and Peking University exams." ”

"Okay, so should I buy a guitar to practice?" Lu Xingchuan will never refuse any advice that can get along with him more.

Qiao Bai was about to introduce him, when he suddenly received a call from Ke Yizhu, and when he heard that he was invited to play a newly bought game console abroad, he immediately agreed excitedly: "Okay, good!"

Then he patted the driver of the Lu family: "I want to get out of the car." ”

Lu Xingchuan frowned: "Don't do your homework again?" ”

"I'll write in the evening." Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Bamboo, there is the latest Xbox!" I don't sell it in Beijing, but it's fun, do you want to be together? ”

Lu Xingchuan was too lazy to contact Ke Yizhu, shook his head and refused.

"Then I'm leaving, bye-bye!" Qiao Bai immediately slipped out and ran away.

Lu Xingchuan looked at his back, and began to be unable to suppress the loneliness in his heart again, but he didn't know where to speak.

――

On this day, Lu Yuejing rarely stayed at home, he was sitting on the sofa eating grapes and playing with the handheld, when he heard his younger brother coming home, he mocked without raising his head: "Yo, are you back?" The big star of the future. ”

Lu Xingchuan is developing at an age, his height and body shape are growing rapidly, and he is no longer the slender appearance of a year.

Besides, after staying here for a long time, I have become familiar with my father, and my momentum has changed a lot.

He replied calmly, "Well, good afternoon." ”

Then when I passed by, I noticed the handheld and couldn't help but stop my pace.

Lu Yuejing noticed his gaze, stopped the clicking buttons in his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Can you buy me the latest Xbox?" Lu Xingchuan's face did not change color.

Hearing his younger brother's words, Lu Yuejing felt very fresh, and looked at his delicate and dignified face: "Good students don't study obediently, what game console do you buy?" ”

"I know, you want to start a company recently, and you must be waiting for your father when you come back today." Lu Xingchuan didn't blush when he threatened: "If you buy it for me, I'll help you talk." ”

Lu Yuejing smiled: "What's the matter, now I still need your permission for my business?" ”

Lu Xingchuan didn't dwell on it too much, but said: "It's just a matter of Dad's thoughts, and between one thought, it's the difference between one more sentence and one less sentence." ”

In school and society, Lu Yuejing is a little master who is not good at serving, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by such a younger brother when he went home, and he was unhappy and funny, but because of the reason that Uncle Wang was monitoring by the side, he was a little more generous than usual: "Okay, as long as you help me, I can give you Xbox, with ten games, how about it?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Xingchuan nodded, carried his schoolbag and went upstairs.

Lu Yuejing followed behind and asked, "The fist bag in your room was prepared because of me?" What, do you want to do it with me? ”

"Don't take yourself too seriously." Hoshikawa looked back and said, "And, don't enter my room again." ”

When he had finished speaking, he went in and slammed it shut.

Lu Yuejing stood in the corridor with a half-smile and said to Uncle Wang, who was walking by: "This kid, why is his temper getting more and more rushed?" ”

――

Since the family gathered, the dinner was much more hearty than usual.

He Mei pretended to be virtuous and served Lu Xingchuan with vegetables first, and then persuaded her husband: "Yuejing is not small, he is a junior this year, and he is about to start a business, if our family has no conditions, then let him struggle by himself There is nothing to say, since there are such conditions, why bother him?"

Lu Tao was indifferent: "Either come to the family company to do things, or fend for yourself, and want to cheat money and go out to squander?" If you need funds to start a business, just sell your car. ”

"You ......" He Mei didn't know what to say, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked like she was going to quarrel again.

Since Lu Yuejing came to ask for money, he couldn't be arrogant, so he had to pretend to be honest and say: "Dad, I did it wrong before, but this time it's really serious, I've found a good partner, and I've also shown you the project proposal, what are you worried about?" ”

Lu Tao frowned and ignored it.

Lu Xingchuan, who never intervened in the entanglement between them, suddenly said: "My brother doesn't want to go back to the company, probably because he doesn't want to be treated differently, everyone knows that he is your son, how do you tell him to work normally?" ”

"When did he develop this self-esteem?" Lu Tao still treats Xingchuan as a child, and can't help but laugh at his "fairy words".

"And when I was in college, I started a business very well, and even if I didn't succeed, the experience I gained was very valuable." Lu Xingchuan said sincerely: "It's the first time I've seen him so motivated, Dad, you should support your brother, if you don't worry, it's good to be stricter in supervision." ”

"yes, didn't he say that he would report regularly?" He Mei hurriedly joined: "Do you have to say that Lao Lu's son will only eat, drink and have fun, and he is not willing to do anything serious?" ”

"That's it, you have one heart." Lu Tao waved his hand: "Let me think about it again." ”

Lu Yuejing showed a smug smile, and looked at his younger brother meaningfully, not sure if he really didn't grow up, or didn't care about the family property at all, but because of thousands of broken things, he helped himself fool his father for millions.

Lu Xingchuan, who was completely living in the trajectory of his own life, valued what they thought, and it was the most important thing for him to draw Qiao Bai's attention back from Ke Yizhu's house first.

22

Qiao Baiyang's little Demu is the same as Lu Xingchuan, saying that he will grow up when he grows up, and he looks high-spirited all day long, and he is so powerful that he can't take care of the home.

When he got home that day, he let the dog out without even entering the door, and stood on the side of the road throwing darts.

After tossing for a while, he ran to the courtyard of the Lu family as if he was in a no-man's land, went around the back and asked through the window, "Brother Lu is back?" ”

The meal was almost eaten, and Lu Yuejing, who had achieved his goal, was in a good mood, stood up and said with a smile: "Long time no see." ”

It's a pity that Lu Xingchuan is now a good friend of the fool Joe, and he turned to say: "Xingchuan, you teach me today's math homework." ”

"Well, then you come in first." Lu Xingchuan put down his chopsticks and drank the rest of the milk.

In addition to working out, he also strictly followed the recipe given by the coach, and he didn't seem to feel how unpalatable those things were.

This self-control made Lu Tao appreciate it very much.

Lu Yuejing, who was completely ignored, picked up the car keys and said, "Then I'll go back to school, today's club activities." ”

"What activities take place on the big night? I see you're going to a nightclub again, right? Lu Tao frowned.

"You stopped my credit card, which nightclub doesn't need money?" Lu Yuejing said speechlessly: "It's an archery club, and everyone has classes during the day." ”

"You eat this snack and then leave, I'll make it for an afternoon." He Mei brought out the cake as if she was offering a treasure to her son.

Taking advantage of the lively efforts of the three of them, Lu Xingchuan hurriedly took Qiao Bai upstairs to avoid the unstoppable noise in his ears.

――

"Mother Bamboo roasted chicken wings and steak for me, both of which were delicious, and I ate two servings." Qiao Bai still didn't realize where the contradiction between Lu Xingchuan and Ke Yizhu was, and he still showed off heartlessly.

Fortunately, Lu Xingchuan cherished his simplicity and didn't care: "Yes, I've also practiced frying steak recently." ”

Qiao Bai smiled: "Invite me to eat one day?" ”

"Okay." Lu Xingchuan opened the math homework book: "When He Mei is not at home, she is so annoying. ”

It would be nice if there were no superfluous people, he could even arrange time to take good care of Qiao Bai every day, it seems that he should develop more relationships with people in entertainment companies, and if he can make money sooner, he can win his freedom sooner.

Qiao Bai didn't notice anything wrong, touched his head and said, "I can't do this question or this question, it seems that I have taught it in class, but I fell asleep......"

Unexpectedly, before Lu Xingchuan had time to save his homework, he heard a terrible scream downstairs and an emergency brake.

Qiao Bai's face instantly turned to ashes: "Two dogs!" ”

"Wait, don't run." Lu Xingchuan chased him and rushed out.

Sure enough, Demu, who had just not bolted, was knocked into the side of the road, and his body was covered with blood, and after being hugged by Qiao Bai, he whimpered a few times, and then he didn't react.

Lu Yuejing, who was defenseless and caused trouble, was very worried: "The light here is broken, it suddenly ran out, I ......"

"Two dogs, my two dogs...... Woowoo...... Don't die......" Qiao Bai couldn't listen to those words, and Demu, who was sitting on the ground and hugging his breath, howled and cried, and no one could pull it up.

Liu Yunan, who heard the voice, was surprised: "What's the matter, son, don't cry." ”

"Sister Nan, I really didn't mean to." Lu Yuejing's face was full of embarrassment.

Liu Yunan also liked this little dog very much, but her husband was not at home, and the child was on the verge of collapse, so she had to suppress her feelings, so she bent down and persuaded: "Qiao Bai, stand up quickly, let's go to the veterinarian." ”

"It's dead, it's not moving." Qiao Bai's body was covered with blood, and the transparent tears in his big eyes crackled and fell: "It's all my fault, I didn't take it well, it's all my fault......"

Lu Xingchuan was very distressed, and turned to glare at his brother.

Seeing that his eldest son, who had never been ignorant, caused such harm to his neighbors, Lu Tao also had to explain, so he scolded angrily: "What kind of car are you driving, you haven't had an accident once or twice!" Leave the car for me, and don't drive it again! ”

"I ......" Lu Yuejing tried to plead, but Qiao Bai, who was crying wolf, still swallowed the aggrieved words.

Lu Xingchuan leaned over, forcefully broke Silly Qiao's hand holding the dog, and then forced him up and stuffed him into Liu Yunan's hand: "Auntie, you take her home first, I'll clean it up here." ”

Liu Yunan wiped the blood stains on Qiao Bai's body without feeling dirty, and he didn't know where he got the strength to stuff this kid into the door, so that this scene that shocked the neighborhood came to an abrupt end.

――

Lu Xingchuan still remembers that when he came here on the first day, this little German herdsman looked like a dragon and a tiger.

So when I buried the body in the courtyard of Qiao's house, I felt very uncomfortable.

He understands how much the kind-hearted Qiao Bai likes it, and he has to keep talking about it every day, but now that it is suddenly gone, it is not much different from losing a loved one.

"Your brother is gone?" Liu Yunan settled his son and came out to ask.

"Well, Auntie, I'm sorry." Lu Xingchuan lowered his head: "I obviously saw Qiao Bai walking the dog, and I forgot to remind him." ”

"No one wants this kind of thing to happen, tell your dad not to get angry." Liu Yunan pretended to be generous, but his eyes were red.

The tolerance of this mother and son made Lu Xingchuan speechless, and he worked hard to bury Ergou's body deep in the ground with soil, and then asked, "How is Qiao Bai?" ”

"I'm still crying, I can't help it, I just went to pour hot water, and I locked the door." Liu Yunan sighed.

"Can I go and see him?" Lu Xingchuan asked.

"Yes, but he didn't know where he had left the key for a long time, and I just called the unlocker." Liu Yunan replied.

Lu Xingchuan looked up at the two-story small western-style building, and suddenly said, "No." ”

――

Qiao Bai grew so big, and he made mistakes because of carelessness, but he never thought that the price he paid tonight would be Ergou's life.

The sadness and endless frustration in his heart made this simple-minded boy unbearable, and he squatted on the edge of the bed and became more and more sad the more he thought about it, crying until he almost ran out of oxygen, and began to breathe hard.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement from the balcony, and after a while, Lu Xingchuan opened the curtain and walked in.

Qiao Bai wiped his face vigorously, and found that he couldn't stop the tears at all, so he buried his head in the crook of his arm.

"Don't cry." Lu Xingchuan found that he was short of words for the first time, he touched Qiao Bai's soft short hair, and slowly knelt down on one knee and hugged him: "Don't cry, everyone is sad like you." ”

"My dad told me many times that I remember to lock up the dog, and I didn't care." Qiao Bai raised his head and sobbed and said, "I killed Ergou." ”

Lu Xingchuan is a little cleanliness on weekdays, and he can't find a tissue at the moment, but he immediately pulled up his shirt and helped him wipe all his tears and snot away, and then persuaded: "It's also strange that Lu Yuejing is driving indiscriminately, he's just a fool, I just buried the dog under your window, don't you have anything to say to it?" ”

"I don't have the face to see it!" When Qiao Bai heard this, tears instantly burst into tears again.

Lu Xingchuan never thought that a boy would cry so much, so he had to hug him again and gently pat his back to comfort him.

Qiao Bai always eats so much, but he is still very thin......

If he pushes harder, will he feel pain?

Lu Xingchuan, who was a little ape-hearted, thought of it like this, and the eyes he showed were impeccable gentleness.
