Qi Zhengli was silent. It seems that my words hit him to the point.

"That's why I said I hated you," Qi Zhengli was the first to break the silence. I guess it's still the effect of alcohol. "You're like a roundworm in my stomach. This is also the reason why you are not as lively as Shi Jue and not as beautiful as Qi Yuzhen, but you attract my attention more. ”

"Don't say that again," I was a little angry, "and please don't think about it." Everything I do to you is done as a sister. Don't forget, I'm a year older than you. ”

"Yes, you're a year older than me, but I don't bother about it at all. Who stipulates that the woman must be younger than the man? Qi Zhengli looked at me defiantly.

I avoided Qi Zhengli's gaze.

"Hao Junqi, do you know what the reason for my real distress is?" Qi Zhengli continued his topic.

"It's Qi Zhengzhe. Didn't you already tell me? ”

"Yes. I told you about it. I also told you that Qi Zhengzhe and I have always been at odds. Don't ask why, it's also innate. Born that way. I don't like what he likes. It's as simple as that. Qi Zhengli made a saliva swallowing motion. He talked too much, and drank too much wine, and his mouth must have been dry.

"You are brothers, and you don't have a deep hatred, how can this be?"

"I said it all, it was born. I've had this thought since I was sensible. So when he dropped out of school, I was determined to study hard," Qi Zhengli smiled bitterly, "Now it seems that this is also contrary." Damn it. ”

"Actually, you don't have to be so insistent. You can transfer schools. "I'm going to change the subject of Qi Zhengli.

"I've thought about transferring schools, but I'm better at it."

"Why?"

"There's no why."

"That-" I paused, "Qi Zhengli, I guess you've said everything you need to say, that's all for today, I'm going to rest." ”

"What? Are you trying to drive me away? Qi Zhengli's mood that had stabilized suddenly rose again, "Today I rely on this place." Where am I done? How much more I haven't said? That, yes, 42 points, I scored 42 points twice. ”

"I've figured it out, you did it on purpose."

"But you don't know why I did it on purpose. It's I who want to create opportunities to be with you. Throughout the summer vacation, in addition to doing your homework, you helped them make steamed buns, keep the store, and stay with Qi Zhengzhe all day long. So I'm going to create opportunities. Qi Zheng Zheming, I can only be dark. When I graduated from sixth grade, my mother asked you to make up for my math and I found the best way to do it. ”

"So you deliberately scored 42 points, and then offered to let me tutor you in math. But weren't you miserable when I tutored you in math? "I can't tell you how surprised.

"Disguise."

"Then you're too terrible, too urban." I'm blunt.

"It's all forced by Qi Zhengzhe. How I want to express my feelings to you clearly like Ye Dingdi like Li Zheng and Qi Junhua, I don't want to be like a mole who has sealed my feelings for you in a hole where there is no sunlight for many years. ”

"Qi Zhengli, I remind you again, don't say such things." Again, I would like to take a position.

"It's because you don't have any feelings for me, right?" Qi Zhengli hiccuped and raised his eyebrows.

"I've always seen you as a brother."

"It's like you've always regarded Qi Zhengzhe as your brother."

"What do you mean?"

"When Qi Zhengzhe confessed to you, you also prevaricated him like this, didn't you?"

"You're thinking too much." I say.

"Could it be that he didn't confess to you? He is really my brother, he hides more than me, he is stupider than me, hehehe. Qi Zhengli laughed self-deprecatingly.

That noon just passed. Maybe it was because he woke up, or maybe he felt that he had achieved his goal, Qi Zhengli finished what he wanted to say, and left my room.

I was a little scareless. Qi Zhengli drank so much wine and came to me, I was not mentally prepared at all.

After that, I hadn't seen Qi Zhengli's shadow for a long time. I really wanted to find a suitable time to explain the matter when he was sober, but Qi Zhengli seemed to deliberately avoid it, so I never found a chance.

During this time, the Qi family's habit of eating together no matter what, was broken by Qi Zhengli. I don't know what he's playing outside or who he's playing with, I just know that he didn't get home at any point.

Take breakfast as an example, it turns out that because of school, we have to eat well before half past six, but now, Qi Zhengli almost sleeps until nine and ten o'clock, how can we still eat together?

The same is true for Chinese dinner, after everyone waited for almost an hour and did not see Qi Zhengli come back, the uncle slapped the table and ended the habit of eating together with the Qi family.

Qi Zhengli blew up his hand, and then didn't go to school, and mixed outside all day long, so that the sky of the Qi family was always cloudy. I often saw my uncle sitting in the hall of the building sighing, and I often saw my aunt sitting by the pier in the alley in a silent daze.

Uncles and aunts, who had never quarreled, now often quarrel over something unsatisfactory.

It seems that God's joke not only changed Qi Zhengli's fate, but also took away the peace of the Qi family and the happiness of his uncle and aunt.

None of them, however, saw that their youngest son had a fatal knot that, if not untied, would have caused more damage than the disability had caused to their youngest son.

Little did they know that I had brought this knot to their youngest son.

It was about a month and a half before Qi Zhengli confessed to me, that is, around the end of September, a day when I didn't have to go to school, Qi Zhengzhe went to buy goods, my aunt suddenly vomited and diarrhea because she ate something, my uncle sent her to the hospital, my father went to work in a farther place, and I didn't come back at noon, and I was left at home.

Qi Zhengli was floating outside, and it was uncertain when he would come back.

After lunch, I sat at the Jeongcheol wholesale department for a while and didn't see a single customer, and the strange itchy hair prompted me to close the store and wash my hair, so I quickly went about it.

Anyway, it's just a matter of twenty minutes, and it won't affect any business. Originally, I could have asked Qi Caihong on the other side to take care of it, but that day Qi Caihong also went to buy goods, and the store was not opened.

One of the remaining rooms of the Qi family's bungalow was separated by bricks and a small room for showers, and I washed my hair in this small room.

At that time, neither bagged nor boxed shampoo had been invented, or it was invented but did not spread to small counties, so I used soap from the wholesale department of Jeongcheol. This soap has a faint jasmine scent after use, which I really like.

The room was silent, but a cough broke the silence. I was taken aback. I wiped back the wet hair that was hanging in front of me and saw Qi Zhengli standing at the door of the small room.

His face was flushed.

"When did you come back?" I asked.

Qi Zhengli was silent. He just stared at me with his eyes. It dawned on me that he was staring at the very same parts he couldn't be targeting.

What's worse is that I took off my coat for fear of getting it wet when I wash my hair. I only wore a sleeveless underwear!

Qi Zhengli walked into the small room.

I hurriedly backed away. Qi Zhengli just stared at me when he walked in, not noticing the square stool on the ground and the water-filled basin resting on the square board. The square stool was kicked, the basin hit the ground, and the water was overflowing everywhere.

Qi Zhengli was still staring at me.

"What do you want to do?" I've retreated to the corner of the room, and I can't go any further.

Qi Zhengli is getting closer and closer to me, and the smell of wine is getting stronger and stronger. He didn't say anything, but opened his arms and took me in his arms, and his face was about to come close to mine.

I hurriedly used my hands to push Qi Zhengli's close body out, but it was useless, Qi Zhengli's chest was like a solid wall.

Seeing that Qi Zhengli was about to bully me, suddenly a sharp pain came from the middle finger of my right hand, and I couldn't help but scream.

The middle finger of the right hand has a feeling of wanting to break. It's like someone is using a thin wire to tighten my fingers, and the wire is going to sink into my flesh. Immediately afterward, the pain spread throughout the body.

Looking at Qi Zhengli again, he seemed to be experiencing a sharp pain, his eyes, nose and mouth seemed to be deformed, which was extremely terrifying. He didn't want to let go. But it was as if an invisible force was tearing his hand apart, and he had to let go of the hand that was holding me tightly. He snorted and leaned against the inner wall of the cubicle with his head in his hands.

I was stunned for a moment, forgetting my dangerous situation and forgetting my pain.

When I regained consciousness and thought of escaping, Qi Zhengli had also returned to normal, and he pointed at me with one hand, "You, you ......"

I looked in the direction of Qi Zhengli's finger, it was my right hand! The notched flesh ring on the middle finger of my right hand shone again!
