Ji Tian knew that what Duan Xuchu cared about was not whether Wei Weiyi had been touched by other men, but that Wei Weiwei was going to marry another man in the end.

Duan Xuchu waited for a full ten years and loved for ten years, but in the end he still couldn't become a husband and wife with Wei Wei, which was too big a blow to Duan Xuchu.

The room was silent, the windows were open, the wind blew the white curtains, and the plain white under the flying made people feel barren, Duan Xuchu put down his palm again, and stared at the phoenix tree outside the window for a long time.

The phoenix trees are full of flowers, covered with treetops, and the large areas of fiery red are especially magnificent, and the green leaves reflect each other, reflecting Duan Xuchu's eyes, such a color makes people's hearts warm, but he laughs bitterly.

Decade......... He has planted this phoenix tree for ten years, and its flower language is parting and missing, so does it mean that from the beginning he can only stick to this phoenix tree all his life, only with lovesickness and heartache?

A cold wind hit, Duan Xuchu clenched his fist against his lips and coughed, and the fishy sweet smell spread to his throat again, he swallowed it indifferently, turned his head slightly and asked hoarsely: "Where are they now, have they returned to China?" ”

"I don't know what the reason is, Sanshao is hospitalized." Ji Tian walked over and closed the window, feeling that the room was still cold, she turned up the temperature again.

Duan Xuchu frowned, "Hospitalized? He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I'll take a look." ”

His face was pale, and in just a few months, the contours of his face had been shaved off and he had lost a lot of weight, and his lines were more resolute and three-dimensional, but he almost planted it when he walked out a few steps, Ji Tian saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "I'll replace the second brother to go over, and the second brother is resting at home." You have an old illness, and Li Ao also asked me to take good care of my second brother........"

Duan Xuchu heard half of it, and when he took a step, he turned around and stared at Ji Tian expressionlessly, "It's not your turn to take care of my affairs." ”

He is not a person with strict words, many times he is always a kind of strategizing cloud and light wind, at this moment, such an awe-inspiring and cold appearance frightened Ji Tian not to say more, lowered his head and whispered: "I know." ”

When Ji Tian walked out and was about to close the door, Duan Xuchu stopped Ji Tian again, "Find a buyer." He leaned one arm on the black door frame of the bathroom, his tall figure stood there, his eyes still falling on the phoenix tree, the last small cluster of scarlet in his eyes turned to ashes, and his thin white lips moved slightly, "Sell this place." ”

Ji Tian was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and it took a while to realize that Duan Xuchu was indeed going to sell the residence where she had lived with Wei Wei at the beginning, she was sad in her heart, nodded and lowered her voice, "I'll contact you immediately." ”

***

Duan Xuchu stood in front of Pei Yanqiao's ward door with a bouquet of flowers, Ji Tian stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after hearing the sound inside, Duan Xuchu pushed the door and walked in.

Pei Yanqiao sat there with a needle on the back of his hand, seeing that Duan Xuchu still had a faint expression, he naturally didn't have a good attitude towards his rival, and pursed his lips and said sneeringly: "I accepted your heart, but if you come to see my jokes, then you may be disappointed." Even if I was stabbed, what if I still got Wei Wei in the end, right? She still made my woman. ”

"Yes." Duan Xuchu put the flowers on the bedside table, his hands in the pockets of his long windbreaker, and stood there looking down at Pei Yanqiao, "If you think this is a gamble, then you have won." From childhood to adulthood, you only won this once, but it was enough. ”

Pei Yanqiao frowned.

"I'm not here today to fight with you, and I've never really fought with you. We have been brothers for about 25 years, long enough, you saved my life back then, and I have enough of all these years, and from today on, we will break off. Duan Xuchu glanced at Pei Yanqiao, and then turned his gaze out the window.

Winter is approaching, the leaves of the trees have fallen, only the black branches remain, and a thin layer of hoarfrost covers them, compared to the phoenix tree in the yard full of fireworks and red flowers, the eyes here are full of gloomy color, but the mood is always the same.

Duan Xuchu watched it for a long time, and his voice became more and more hoarse and low, "The love with you has come to this point, not because the woman I love the most is about to become the wife of the best brother, but because I can't accept him marrying Wei Wei as any man except me." I saw Wei Wei lying on the chest of another man, and I didn't know how much my heart would hurt, so Pei Yanqiao, whether it was selfish or ruthless, I didn't want to be a brother or even a friend with you anymore. ”

In the 12 years that Pei Yanqiao misunderstood him and hated him, he never gave up saving this relationship, for him, Pei Yanqiao is a benefactor, a relative, and in addition to Wei Weiyi and Nannan, he is the most important and caring person in the world, from eight to twenty years old, getting along day and night, inseparable, born and dead, and each other has fought for each other's lives to block bullets......... How deep the relationship used to be, how painful it is now at the moment of cutting off the robe and breaking up.

No one is wrong, it's only to blame for making people fall in love with the same woman, because he cares too much, so he can't accept it calmly, he gives up Wei Weiyi first, he has no position to complain about Pei Yanqiao, but he can't sincerely bless Pei Yanqiao and Wei Weiyi, so he used to be the best brother, but now he can only be a stranger.

Pei Yanqiao pursed his thin lips tightly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were pale, his hand with the needle was clenched into a fist, and the blood flowed back into the infusion tube under the green tendons.

Duan Xuchu looked at Pei Yanqiao again, he laughed self-deprecating and bitterly, "It's useless to say this, anyway, you have long forgotten the brotherhood between us if you have amnesia." Although I know that you love Wei Wei very much, I still ask you to treat her well in this life, don't delay her youth for so many years like me, and finally let her down. ”

Pei Yanqiao didn't say a word from the beginning, the inky hairline of his head was lowered to cover most of his face, his dark brown eyes were surging, and when he heard the footsteps gradually moving away, Pei Yanqiao suddenly raised his head, "Duan Xuchu, I am the only one ........ Wei"

Duan Xuchu paused, holding one hand on the door lock, standing there with his back to Pei Yanqiao for a long time, still not hearing the second half of Pei Yanqiao's words, a smile on his lips, gentle but like treating all ordinary people in a rude tone, "Take care of yourself!" After saying that, he walked out with a steady step and gently closed the door from the outside.

And Pei Yanqiao in the ward arched his head and buried his head in the crook of his arm, his fingers tightened and grabbed his hair, he closed his eyes tightly, and only the sound of tears falling one by one could be heard in the darkness.

It turned out that the loss of Duan Xuchu's brother, who had been his brother for many years, was as painful as ripping off his heart, and he overestimated his ability to bear it.

***

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Wei Wei drove the car to the top of the mountain and stopped, she opened the car door and went down, walked over and stood at the highest place, looking down at the cliff below.

On Chinese New Year's Eve of the year they lived together, Duan Xuchu drove her here, and they just stayed in the car very quietly all night, he rarely kissed her gently, held her in his arms against her forehead, and watched the snowflakes flying outside the car window together.

When she was pregnant, she said that she would like to come here again to see the snow, but now she is the only one left.

The sky was dark, the whole world seemed even more vast, Wei Wei stood on the edge of the cliff in plain white, her hair and clothes were blown by the wind, lining her whole person more and more thin and slender, she took a step forward, raised her face and gently closed her eyes.

Wei Wei stayed on the edge of the cliff for a few hours, and when she returned to the car to leave, she saw the familiar black car in the rearview mirror, and she sat in the car without moving.

After a while, the tall figure of the man appeared outside the window, and the door was then opened, and the breath that belonged to him poured in with the cold wind in an instant, until he sat in the passenger seat, and the whole cramped car was full of the smell of his body, which had once made her obsessed with falling.

Wei Wei tilted his head, his eyes were still in the rearview mirror, he didn't look at Duan Xuchu, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to him, the two just sat quietly like that, and after half an hour, Duan Xuchu opened his mouth to break the silence, "I just went to the hospital to see Pei Yanqiao, and he told me that you ........ last night Together? ”

He used a question, Wei Weiyi's shoulders trembled slightly, he closed his eyes and remembered the blood and yin of last night, and his ears still echoed Pei Yanqiao's heavy gasping sound and the comfortable roar after venting, Wei Wei suddenly clenched into a fist, his nails pinched into the delicate flesh of his palm, and he responded to the next word lightly, "Yes." ”

Duan Xuchu's back shook, and he suddenly leaned over and pressed over, raised his hand to pinch Wei Weiyi's chin, he turned his head and kissed Wei Weiyi's lips hard, sucking very hard, but in just a few seconds, he withdrew, stroked his lips with his fingers, and sipped them as if tasting her taste, and then hooked the corners of his lips and sneered, "Sure enough, the taste is different." However, how does it feel to have sex with a second man other than me? ”

"Good." Wei Wei also stared at Duan Xuchu with a sneer, and said clearly word by word, "Thank you, Mr. Duan, for the success of the female subordinate next to you." ”

Duan Xuchu raised his eyebrows and said disappreciably: "Thank her for what?" You should thank me for fulfilling you and Pei Yanqiao in advance. Seeing Wei Wei's eyes widen and his look of disbelief, Duan Xuchu took out a cigarette and lit it, and laughed deeply, "My subordinates don't dare to drug you without my instructions." Anyway, you have to marry Pei Yanqiao sooner or later, premarital sex is too normal. ”
