I heard they all love me

Chapter 14 Disappointment

Jiang Xingzhe was very likable when he was a child.The little child is white and tender, with a delicate appearance like a little girl, whoever sees him can't help but want to hug him.But there were only two exceptions, one was Father Jiang and the other was Jiang Xingjian.

Jiang's father didn't like Jiang Xingzhe, and everyone guessed that it had something to do with Jiang Xingzhe's mother.Jiang Xingjian doesn't like Jiang Xingzhe, but everyone knows that it has something to do with Jiang Xingzhe's mother.

It is said that 21 years ago, Jiang Xingzhe's mother went to Jiang's house to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Jiang's father.But this matter cannot be hidden from Jiang Xingjian's mother, Xie Li.Xie Li fell ill because of this, and died within a year.After her death, Jiang Xingjian moved out of the house directly, and lived in Li's house most of the time except for school.It wasn't until Jiang Xingjian's grandfather passed away in the second year of junior high that Jiang's father took him back.

At that time, Jiang Xingzhe was only five years old. It was the first time he saw Jiang Xingjian, and it was also the first time he realized that he had an older brother.Because of his naughtiness, Jiang Xingzhe often fought with the children in the kindergarten. One of the children's most frequent words was "I want my brother to beat you".Although this elder brother never appeared, he left a deep impression on the little Jiang Xingzhe as a deterrent.For Jiang Xingzhe, his elder brother is the backer, the umbrella, and the person who helps him fight.

He longed for an older brother countless times in his heart, and then his older brother really appeared.

Jiang Xingzhe liked Jiang Xingjian very much, and wished he could revolve around Jiang Xingjian 24 hours a day. He gave Jiang Xingjian his favorite toy, and at night hugged the quilt and cried to sleep with Jiang Xingjian.But Jiang Xingjian didn't like him, didn't accept his toys, and didn't talk to him at all.Jiang Xingzhe didn't know how to read people's faces at that time, and he still followed Jiang Xingjian tirelessly.

Until after he fought with a child again, he pointed at the other party and shouted: "I want my brother to beat you."

After leaving these words, he ran home to look for Jiang Xingjian, but Jiang Xingjian blocked the door.

Jiang Xingzhe was very sad, hiding in the garden alone and refusing to eat, hoping that Jiang Xingjian could come to him.But Jiang Xingjian didn't show up until his hungry stomach growled.In the end Jiang Xingzhe had to surrender to his stomach and went home alone.

Probably because he was very hungry, he ate a little too much, but he couldn't fall asleep when it was time to go to bed.He sneaked out of bed to find Jiang Xingjian, but in the corridor he heard a conversation between his nanny and another person.Although more than ten years have passed, that conversation is still as clear as yesterday.

"Hey, the young master is still young and ignorant, so it's no wonder the young master. It's hard for a mother to fall in love with Xiao San's child after being forced to death by Xiao San's door. The young master also likes to hang out with the eldest master, isn't it every time Poke the young master's heart!"

"You can't blame Xiao Zhe for what happened back then, what's wrong with the child."

"It's not that the young master is wrong, but it's not wrong that the eldest master doesn't like him."

Jiang Xingzhe didn't understand the meaning of this passage at the time, but he could vaguely understand that Jiang Xingjian didn't like him, so he didn't want to look for him anymore.When he was older, he learned of his parentage from the nanny, and the self-esteem of a young man made him unable to face Jiang Xingjian calmly. Looking back, he even believed that Jiang Xingjian hated him.

This knowledge lasted until his death in a car accident.

……

Maybe it was the familiar decoration style that made Chu Li relax, or maybe the fight with Ning Weidong consumed too much energy, and he slept until noon the next day.If it weren't for the fact that he was so hungry, he would probably continue to sleep until the end of time.

Before opening his eyes, Chu Li habitually wrapped himself in a thin blanket and rolled around on the bed twice, muttering and asking, "Aunt Pei, what can I eat, I'm hungry."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he woke up suddenly, and realized where he was while maintaining a half-prone position in the middle of the roll.He got up annoyed and wished he could go back in time and swallow the words he had spoken.Fortunately, he occupied a guest bedroom by himself last night, so Jiang Xingjian should not be able to hear what he said.Slowly relieved, Chu Li reminded himself to pay attention.He didn't want to be exposed in front of Jiang Xingjian, and then stage a "Brothers Recognition", and die again in the end.

Thinking of this, he became nervous.

With a few upturned hairs, Chu Li sat on the edge of the bed and kept thinking, carefully recalling whether he was exposed when he was with Jiang Xingjian.After thinking about it carefully, he unexpectedly found that he was doing pretty well, except for the "Qin Mu" last night, which almost revealed him, but it was a dream, he couldn't control himself from dreaming, everything else was fine.He silently gave himself a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, full of confidence in his future life.

After solving this problem, Chu Li scratched his hair and quickly finished washing in the bathroom that comes with the guest bedroom.He knew he got up late, and wondered how he could sleep so soundly.But one of the advantages of getting up late is that you may not need to face Jiang Xingjian.In Chu Li's cognition, Jiang Xingjian is quite self-disciplined, and he strictly abides by the time to get up and work, which should have gone all over the world.

"woke up?"

Chu Li opened the door in a good mood, but was stunned by Jiang Xingjian's greeting.Before he could react, Jiang Xing gave the instruction concisely and concisely: "Get ready to come over for dinner."

Jiang Xingjian, who was talking, stood at the door of the kitchen, still dressed like a dog, with trousers and a white shirt. He looked like he had just come out of the kitchen, rather than just finished a meeting.He ordered the table, on which two dishes were already set.Chu Li glanced subconsciously, and recognized at a glance that the two dishes were his favorite dishes in the past, Aunt Pei's specialty dishes.

He was still a little dazed, Jiang Xingjian had already entered and exited the kitchen once more, and brought out another two dishes.

Chu Li finally had a reaction this time, and said slowly, "...what else, I'll take it."

Jiang Xingjian was arranging the dishes, and when he heard the words, he looked up at him, and said with a calm expression: "There is another soup, be careful not to burn it."

"oh oh."

Chu Li agreed, and walked towards the kitchen with a strange expression.He felt that the beginning of this day was particularly mysterious, and it almost broke his previous understanding of life.Jiang Xingjian can cook?Jiang Xingjian actually cooks for him?For the former, he really couldn't think of when Jiang Xingjian learned to cook, and he seemed to be a true biography of Aunt Pei.The latter, he couldn't help but think, when he was Jiang Xingzhe, Jiang Xingjian wouldn't even look at him.Now that he has become Chu Li, with the same face, Jiang Xingjian condescends to cook for him himself!

He sat across from Jiang Xingjian in a complicated mood. He had many thoughts at first, but when the aroma of the food entered his nose, all his thoughts disappeared, and tears almost filled his eyes. How long has it been since he had eaten such a rich meal? Meals are up.It would be great if there were no two eye-catching seafood dishes.

Jiang Xingzhe doesn't eat seafood. This is a picky eater's problem that he developed since he was a child. Anyone who knows him well knows it.

I don't know if it was intentional, but two seafood dishes were placed in front of Chu Li, but the other two dishes he liked were closer to Dejiang Xingjian.

Chu Li glanced at the fried golden squid rings in front of him with disgust, and subconsciously went to grab his favorite General Tso's chicken first.Across the dining table, Jiang Xingjian shook his hand holding the chopsticks, and his eyes fell deeply on Chu Li.He noticed that Chu Li still avoided the two plates of seafood in front of him for the second time.

The faint hope in my heart was watered by this fact, and there was a faint tendency to grow, evolving from malnourished bean sprouts to kohlrabi.Jiang Xingjian's dry heart seemed to be poured into a clear spring. He sat up straight, and nervousness appeared on his calm face.

Chu Li didn't notice Jiang Xingjian's nervousness, and sincerely praised the delicious food.Then, under Jiang Xingjian's gaze, he stretched out his chopsticks and gently picked up the squid roll in front of him.

"Well, this one is also delicious."

Of course, he may not necessarily think so in his heart.Chu Li swallowed the squid roll patiently, never thought that he would have to slap himself in the face one day after being a picky eater for more than ten years.He thought back when he told Wen Liang that he had found an acting job, it was a prophecy.

Without knowing it, he tasted all four dishes one by one.

Jiang Xingjian's gaze on him became increasingly dimmer, as if the bubble of hope had been punctured, his whole body seemed to be drained of vitality suddenly, and a circle of despair surrounded him, forming a dark prison .From hope to disappointment, to hope to be disappointed again, Jiang Xingjian suffered repeatedly from last night to now, and the meal became more and more silent.

After the two of them had dinner, Chu Li perfectly explained what it meant to return home like an arrow.It didn't take long for the rain outside to stop, but the water had receded a lot, and there were already many people on the street from the window.Chu Li bid farewell politely, Jiang Xingjian paused, and said with usual expression: "I'll see you off."

He put on the mask again, and in front of Chu Li was that polite and alienated young talent again.

Chu Li quickly noticed the difference, but he didn't care.This kind of Jiang Xingjian was familiar to him, but he was taken aback by Jiang Xingjian's appearance before.He had no intention of analyzing the reasons for Jiang Xingjian's change, he just wanted to go back as soon as possible.

An hour later, Chu Li patted the door of the bar dormitory.Pei Kai exaggeratedly pulled Chu Li to look around, making sure that Chu Li didn't even lose a single hair in Jiang Xingjian's house.

He talked about what happened last night: "Don't worry, Sister Hua already knows, don't be afraid that Ning Weidong will come to the bar to make trouble, there is Sister Hua."

Chu Li thought of Sister Hua who he had only met a few times, so he had no doubts about it.For a woman to be able to open such a large bar, she must have something to rely on.With nothing on his mind, he called Pei Kai to pack up his things and move them home.The old house left to him by Chu's father has already told the agent not to sell it, and the dispute with the neighbor's compensation will be handled by Jiang Xingjian's lawyer.In the lawyer's words, the compensation proposed by the other party is unreasonable and has the nature of extortion, and the specific amount of compensation should be determined according to the law.This is because Jiang Xingjian came forward. Without Jiang Xingjian, Zhang Qiguo would not be able to withstand the other party's bullying because of Zhang Qiguo's weak character. It's not that he promised what the other party said.

For several days in a row Chu Li was busy with his own affairs, either going to the hospital to visit Chu's mother or accompanying Zhang Qiguo.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingjian never contacted him.Fortunately, Chu Li wished that Jiang Xingjian would show up as late as possible. Instead, Zhang Qiguo heard that Jiang Xingjian borrowed money from Chu Li and helped him find a job. He felt that he owed him such a big favor, so he must ask Chu Li He came home for a meal.

Chu Li dragged on a few times, hesitating whether to contact Jiang Xingjian, but Pei Kai brought him unexpected news.

"What? Brother Ma was fired from the crew?" Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It's Ning Weidong?"
