Lin Zi saw that Xu Shen hadn't replied to the message for a long time, and thought of his inexplicable speech today, so he couldn't help but send several messages to the past.

— Xu Shen, Xu Shen?

— What's wrong with you today?

- Is there something wrong with you?

—Xu Shen, are you still there?

—Xu Shen?

Xu Shen came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, looked around, and found that Xu Chenrui, who was originally sitting on the sofa, suddenly sat on the balcony, his expression was not as comfortable and relaxed as before, and he was gloomy all of a sudden.

The phone kept ringing on the couch.

Xu Shen walked to the sofa, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was all news from Lin Zi.

Xu Shen clicked on the dialog box with Lin Zi, and his eyes widened.

How so?

The eldest brother actually took his own number and got up with his sister-in-law, and unexpectedly learned that the sister-in-law and Yi Zhen, my God, what a thrill this is, no wonder the eldest brother is depressed at this time, daring to love This is a broken love, and he is borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

Xu Shen secretly glanced at Xu Chenrui out of the window and thought to himself.

Looking at the messages from the other party on his mobile phone, Xu Shen hesitated.

Do you want to tell your sister-in-law that it wasn't me chatting with her just now, but my brother Xu Chenrui?

Why don't you probe the other person's tone first?

Xu Shen thought, so he picked up his phone and typed on the screen.

— Sister-in-law, that, I'm here.

— Where have you just been? Why haven't you replied, and, you're weird today, it feels like a different person, and the tone of your speech, if I hadn't looked up and confirmed the notes, I would have thought I was talking to your brother.

Lin Zi couldn't help but tremble when he thought of Xu Chenrui's ill-intentioned face.

Seeing this paragraph sent by Lin Zi, the corners of Xu Shen's mouth couldn't help twitching, thinking, you guessed accurately.

— Hehehehehe, you, you think too much.

Every time he issued a word, Xu Shen couldn't help but feel empty.

- Sister-in-law, that, I have something to ask you.

- What's the matter?

- What, what do you think, how is my brother Xu Chenrui?

- What's that?

- Well, what do you think of my brother?

— Your brother?

— Just tell the truth, I won't tell him, I swear.

- Your brother is a person who speaks poisonously, loves to bully me, and likes to scare me, which makes me feel very angry every time.

- Ahem, doesn't my brother have any merit?

Xu Shen couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for his brother.

However, he was always there for me when I needed it most, to help me, to protect me, so he was a very good, righteous friend, and if one day, he needed help, I would definitely do it.

— Do you have nothing but my brother, friend?

Xu Shen still asked without giving up.

- Isn't it unkind to ask a girl who is not single now?

— Is this question difficult for you? Or is it ......

- Hey, hey, hey, you're thinking too much, I really just treat him as a friend.

— Really?

— Or else? Of course it's true, do you want me to dig out my heart and show you?

— It's not necessary, just kidding.

—Xu Shen, you are really strange today, what happened?

Xu Shen glanced at the balcony, Xu Chenrui's back looked very lonely at this moment, he had never seen his brother's mood so low.

In his impression, Xu Chenrui always has an incomprehensible look, and he is indifferent to everything, even when he went abroad alone, he never cried for half a minute. Even his father's severe scolding, the external media's catchy reports and overwhelming gossip failed to hurt him in the slightest.

Such an arrogant Xu Chenrui would now show such a depressed and smug look.

This is the first time, Xu Shen really feels that Xu Chenrui cares so much about Lin Zi.

Xu Shen couldn't help but feel a little distressed about Xu Chenrui.

— It's okay, it's just ...... Sister-in-law, oh yes, I can't call you sister-in-law now, but I really want you to be our sister-in-law, although there is little hope now, but you are still my good sister forever, you are in love, do you still recognize me as a younger brother, can I still call you Sister Xiaozi in the future?

- Fool, of course, I've always thought of you as my brother.

- Then, Sister Xiaozi, I hope you are happy, if that Yi Zhen dares to bully you, tell me, I will definitely stand up for you and beat him all over the ground to find teeth.

— Good, good.

Lin Zi looked at Xu Shen's words on the screen, and Xu Shen's slightly naïve but extremely sincere appearance appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but laugh softly.

Lin Zi looked at the time and saw that it was almost early in the morning, and remembered that he would have to say goodbye to Yiyi tomorrow morning, so after saying goodnight to Xu Shen, he closed the screen and fell asleep.

— Well, good night.

After Xu Shen finished these words, he turned off the screen, threw the phone back on the sofa, and looked at Xu Chenrui outside the window, Xu Shen sighed to himself.

In the end, I still couldn't tell the other party the truth.

One is his own brother, the other is his most valued sister and friend, and the other is already in pain, so why let the other person he cares about fall into a dilemma.

Love is really this, a few families are happy, and a few families are sad.

Xu Shen sighed.

After a long time, Xu Chenrui walked in from the balcony, looking at Xu Shen's unspeakable but slightly sympathetic expression, and before Xu Shen could speak, Xu Chenrui interrupted him.

"Stop, I know what you're going to say, you're thinking too much, I just feel a little stuffy in the house, sitting on the balcony blowing the wind, breathing fresh air, you smell the smell of hot pot in this room."

Xu Shen heard that Xu Chenrui was still duplicitous, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was really strong, sure enough, he was still the proud Xu Chenrui in front of others.

"Brother, I want to stay with you tonight."

"Stay here? Aren't you afraid that your mother will say that you will be spoiled by me again? ”

Xu Shen smiled and said, "I've grown up, but I'm no longer the stupid and ignorant kid I was back then." ”

"That's it, whatever you want, go to the guest room and make the bed by yourself, don't go into my room, I'll go to sleep."

As he spoke, Xu Chenrui turned around with the wine and walked in the direction of the room.

Xu Shen looked at Xu Chenrui's back and couldn't help shouting, "Drink less!" ”

Xu Chenrui turned his back to Xu Shen, waved his hand, did not speak, and then entered the room, closed the door, leaned against the door frame, Xu Chenrui sat on the ground, pulled his collar, picked up the wine bottle, and drank it one after another.

Xu Shen returned to the sofa, picked up his mobile phone, and turned off his mobile phone after sending his mother the news that he was not coming back and was going to sleep at his eldest brother's house, because, without thinking about it, his mother, Mrs. Xu, and Ms. Wang Wanqing, would immediately call him countless times, accusing him of why he went together with his eldest brother again.

Of course, Xu Shen knew that his mother didn't like his eldest brother Xu Chenrui, after all, she was now the wife of the Xu family, and Xu Chenrui's existence was undoubtedly reminding her that she was just her father's choice, and he Xu Chenrui was the Xu family's room and the eldest young master of the Xu Group.

In addition, her mother's background is very good, of course she doesn't want her children to get too close to people like Xu Chenrui.

When Xu Shen and Xu An were young, Wang Wanqing often told them to brainwash them, Xu Chenrui was a bad person, a wild child, and a bad person who came to rob their father and property with them, so remember to stay away from him.

At first, because of his young age, he was easy to be guided and led astray by what adults said, and although Xu Chenrui was young at that time, he had already experienced all kinds of life, which made him face anything since he was a child, and he had a composure and calmness that did not match his age, but it was also because of this too precocious maturity that Xu Chenrui became unapproachable and did not like to talk.

Xu Shen remembered that when he first started, he especially listened to his mother's words, stayed away from Xu Chenrui, didn't talk to him, and even looked down on him from the bottom of his heart until that happened.

For children, no matter what kind of family they are born in, no matter how strict the family education is, after the adults are not at home, it is inevitable that children love to play and love noisy nature.

Xu Jinheng happened to be in the rising period of his career at that time, the company was planning to go public, and it was inevitable that he would not go home for a long time to have a meeting with the bigwigs, and Wang Wanqing was also a young lady from a big family anyway, and the two families were inextricably linked in business because of their marriage, which means that Wang Wanqing would inevitably accompany Xu Jinheng on business trips and socials.

This has also caused a situation where parents will be away from home for a long time, and there are no elders to take care of Xu Shen and Xu Anxiao except for the domestic servants.

It is precisely because Wang Wanqing usually disciplines the two of them very strictly, so this makes Xu Shen and Xu Anxiao, who are rarely uncontrolled, feel liberated.

Children, too, like to chase and fight.

The two of them didn't have enough fun in the living room, so they ran into their father Xu Jinheng's study.

Xu Jinheng has never allowed anyone to run into his study, and even Wang Wanqing is no exception to this, let alone the two children.

Therefore, Xu Jinheng's study has also become a forbidden place for the Xu family except for Xu Jinheng.

For a small child, the more he is not allowed to go in, the more he wants to go in.

Taking advantage of the absence of the adults, Xu Shen and Xu Anxiao played hide and seek in their father Xu Jinheng's study.

Xiao Xu Shen pulled Xiao Anxiao to the door of the living room and said to her: "You count from one to a hundred, and then you can open your eyes and come to me, don't peek." ”

Xiao An looked at Xiao Xu Shen with a smile, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, are we playing hide and seek?" ”

Xiao Xu Shen nodded vigorously and said, "Well, so, don't peek, you play the role of the person looking for me first, wait a minute, we will change back, you go to be the one who hides, okay?" ”

"Okay, then I'll start counting now."

As he spoke, Xiao An smiled and leaned on the wall, closed his eyes and began to count.

"One, two, three, four, five......"
