In the early autumn of Beijing, the breeze is not dry.

The weather was very good today, Lin Xi wore a simple high ponytail and wore a knee-length white skirt without any extra accessories.

She is pure today, with bright eyes and bright teeth. When you bow your head and murmur, your voice is soft and gentle. When mentioning some past events, she would frown and sneer from time to time.

Just like back then, in front of her brother, she has always been that squeamish little girl.

Holding a handkerchief and gently wiping the dust on the stele, looking at the familiar name on it, Lin Xi's fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Chen, an army officer, was only 27 years old when he died.

After his parents left, the eldest brother was like a father, Lin Chen took on the heavy responsibility, stopped work and rushed back from other places, staying in Beijing to take care of Lin Xi. It's just that it didn't take long for an urgent mission for him to return to the team.

Lin Xi remembered that she had insomnia and didn't fall asleep that night. It was about one o'clock in the morning when my brother suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

Only the nightlight next to her bed was still on in the room. The brother was fully dressed and sat down in a chair beside her bed.

That day, my brother's hand seemed to be rougher than before, and the calluses had accumulated a thick layer, so he carefully held her hand and rubbed it gently.

She didn't know that her brother was leaving, and she simply thought that he was worried that she would be scared alone at night and couldn't sleep, so she came to stay with her for a while.

When her eyelids were fighting, she seemed to see her brother move his lips.

But at that time, she was not wearing a hearing aid, and she was sleepy, and she only heard some small sounds, and she didn't hear her brother clearly.

That night, without a dream, she finally had a good night's sleep.

It was also after that night that she never heard her brother's voice again.

——

Coming out of the cemetery, Lin Xi had already adjusted his state, and he looked no different from before entering the door.

Walking back to where she got off the bus, she was still waiting for her.

Under the locust tree on the side of the road, the white BMW disappeared without knowing when. In its place, there was a somewhat unfamiliar big guy, the silver-gray Cullinan.

But the three people standing outside the car were very familiar.

Lin Xi stopped and stood in front of the car.

Cheng Si smiled at her, but this time it was different from usual, and he was more embarrassed and helpless when he smiled, a little reluctantly.

"Morning, Xixi."

Lin Xi pursed his lower lip, his gaze stayed on him for a few seconds, and then looked at Bai Xu and Qin Yu in turn.

Bai Xu stood up straight, his expression was a little weird, he seemed to have something to say, but when she looked over, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes desperately dodged.

Qin Yu's position is at the back, and he is the farthest away from her. He is still the most calm one, even now, he can still be expressionless.

"Ahem, Bai Xu, follow me to turn around." Cheng Si was still the most discerning, and directly dragged Bai Xu back to the car.

In normal times, Bai Xu would not listen to his arrangement. That is, the current situation is not right, he doesn't have any intention of watching the show.

It's a lot of, but no one has debunked it. The two of them drove the car quickly, saying that they were going to the front to make a U-turn, but this starting posture did not look like they were going to drive back.

After they left, Lin Xi and Qin Yu looked at each other from afar, both of them looked light, as if they were secretly competing, and neither of them spoke first.

As if knowing what she needed now, Qin Yu's right hand, which had been copied into his trouser pocket, slowly raised and made a posture of opening his arms.

Just with this one action, Lin Xi's surface camouflage was completely disintegrated, his eyes were moist, and his vision blurred in an instant.

When she saw her brother just now, she was already teetering on the verge of collapse. But my brother didn't like her tears.

So she just quietly red-eyed and tried not to let herself cry in front of her brother.

She forced herself to turn her back and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.

You can't go over, and you can't cry, Lin Xi.

She warned herself over and over again in her mind.

The warmth that greets you ahead comes from a blazing fire. Reason and dignity always prevailed, and they turned into chains to tie her hands and feet to prevent her from falling into it again.

Lin Xi took a deep breath desperately, trying to repair the crack in the city wall in his heart as soon as possible, so as not to make himself too embarrassed.

Contrary to expectations, Qin Yu approached without a hint, and the familiar aura surrounded her tightly. His powerful arms clasped her waist like it was about to rub her into his.

"No one will see it, not including me."

The man's low voice sounded in her ears, constantly bewitching her.

The second his hand was on the back of her head and gently stroked, Lin Xi's eyes were sour, tears burst into tears, and he hugged him silently.

She cried so much that her whole body trembled, and she choked up: "Qin Yu, I don't have a brother anymore." ”

——

In the car in the distance, Cheng Si silently withdrew his eyes, he lowered the window, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

Bai Xu stared intently at the two people hugging each other outside, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Half a cigarette went down, and Cheng Si felt that he was still choked in his heart.

They were all trapped in that year, and they couldn't let go of it for a long time. What about Lin Xi......

first lost his parents, and he was able to pick up a life. As soon as his health improved, he heard the bad news of his brother's departure again, and he didn't even see the last time.

Cheng Si still remembers that back then, Lin Xi cried until he fainted here.

That wasn't their nightmare.

None of them were able to come out, how could Lin Xi withstand these blows.

"What do you think of your old man's proposal last time?" He looked up into the rearview mirror and met the gaze of the person in the mirror.

"What proposal? Marriage? Bai Xu: "What, do you have an idea?" ”

Cheng Si said in his words, "I'm afraid, it's not me who has ideas." ”

After a few seconds, Bai Xu suddenly smiled, "I think the third brother has a lot of ideas. ”

Cheng Si raised his eyebrows, meaning something: "Is it just the third brother?" ”

"Or else?"

"That's for the best."

Bai Xu is not a character who can be at the mercy of others, and immediately asked: "What do you want to do?" Do you want to help the third brother, or do you want to rob people? ”

"Everyone knows Lin Xi's current situation, she is wary of everyone, so she can give an account to the third brother." Cheng Si looked at him, "Since the third brother is also a little interesting to Lin Xi, why don't you push it?" ”

"Of course, I can't do this alone."

Cheng Si's original intention was to let Bai Xu be an assist with him.

He didn't know what he meant until Bai Xu.

But Bai Xu didn't, "I agree with the others, but your sentence 'I can also give a bottom to the third brother', I don't dare to agree." ”

"How blind are you?" Cheng Si motioned for him to look outside.

When they were still there just now, Lin Xi kept pretending to be fine, and then look at the present......

Bai Xu: "Don't say anything else, just say that what she believes in the most has always been the second brother." Even if I want to help, I want her to be with my second brother. ”
