The next morning, Lu Yi woke up in Gu Yan's bed.

Lu Yi was stunned for a while and slowly got up from the bed.

Gu Yan didn't know where he went and was not in the room.

Lu Yi returned to his room and washed up briefly. When he went down to the first floor, he saw Gu Yan sitting on the sofa with a laptop in front of him. He was typing on the keyboard. When he saw Lu Yi, his expression was faint: "Awaken?"

Lu Yi whined softly, a little surprised to see him during the day.

According to Gu Yan's workaholic level, his fever yesterday morning could not stop him from working. What is the fever in the middle of the night?

Gu Yan put his hand on his lips, coughed a few times, and then said to Lu Yi: "Thank you for what happened last night."

Lu Yi shook his head: "No need to thank you."

"There is a breakfast on the table," Gu Yan didn't look at him, "I bought it for you."

Breakfast bought for him?

Lu Yi said thank you and sat by the table. There were the cucumber buns, millet porridge, and crystal steamed dumplings bought by Gu Yan, which were very rich.

Lu Yi finished eating all of them, then took out his cell phone and looked at the calendar.

It's already the fifteenth day today.

At present, Lu Yi has only received one variety show and is not very busy. The notices he should have run away before have been basically completed. Wen Su knew that he would be free on the fifteenth of the month and would not usually arrange work for him.

Lu Yi put away his cell phone and walked out the door.

Gu Yan is an adult and has the ability to take care of himself. Last night, he was just an emergency and he shouldn't need his care today.

Gu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Lu Yi about to leave, raised his eyes: "Where are you going?"

Lu Yi did not answer him positively: "I have something to do."

After changing his shoes, Lu Yi stood up and turned around and instructed: "The medicine is placed on the third floor of the locker. If you want to take it, take it yourself."

Gu Yan looked at him with a secret look.

But Lu Yi didn't notice it, so he walked out.

On the fifteenth of every month, Lu Yi was resting, and he had to stay in the old alley in Beicheng District for two days.

After the college entrance examination that year, he had a very chaotic and dark life, which lasted almost a year. Then he met Hong Ying, who felt sorry for him and took him home to raise him as his younger brother.

But she is not a charity either. If Lu Yi lives with her, she has to rely on workmanship to pay for it.

This actually reduced Lu Yi's psychological burden. At that time, Lu Yi had just fallen from heaven to hell, but was full of hard bones. If Hong Ying picked up Lu Yi and did not want anything, he would definitely not have followed her.

Hong Ying also has a younger brother named Hong Xiao, who is ten years apart from Lu Yi. When Hong Ying was doing business outside, she asked Lu Yi to take him.

This kind of life took three years, until Lu Yi graduated from University and moved out of Hong Ying.

Hong Ying is no different from his own sister, and he remembers her kindness in his heart.

Even if he started working, Lu Yi would go back every month.

When we arrived at the old Hutong, a monkey-like child was squatting at the entrance of the Hutong. He was wearing a white T-shirt with a hat and ragged jeans. He was chatting with a fortune-telling blind man Hu Tianhai, and was biting a bag of Xizhilang jelly in his mouth.

Lu Yi walked over and reached out and flicked the child's head.

The child jumped up with a whistle, covered his head, turned his head, and opened his eyes wide open: "Fuck! Who--"

The remaining half of the words were drowned in the moment of seeing Lu Yi.

Hong Xiao changed his face like a book, took down the jelly, bared his teeth at Lu Yi, and showed a well-behaved smile: "Brother Lu."

Lu Yi responded, and saw that Hong Xiao's skin was fair and his face was covered with collagen, he couldn't help but pinch it twice: "What are you doing squatting here?"

Hong Xiao's face was deformed by Lu Yi's pinch, like a white dough, but he was happy to let Lu Yi knead it, his eyes curled like crescent moons, and a soft smile inside: "I'm telling fortunes, counting my final exam results."

Lu Yi couldn't help laughing and let go.

"This fortune teller is very accurate and he is pretty good. I said I have no money, and he said game coins will be done." Hong Xiao held Lu Yi's arm and put his face on his shoulder, like a soft little sticky cake. "He said I will definitely pass this time."

This hexagram stall has been here for many years. I have known all the children in the alley.

Lu Yi greeted the fortune teller, and then led Hong Xiao into the alley: "Isn't that good?"

"Of course!" Hong Xiao was so happy that he was about to jump up, full of youthful vitality, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, my sister promised me that if I pass the exam this time, I would take me out to play, and said I would take you with me. Do you have time?"

Lu Yi has no job recently, but he is not sure if he has time in the future.

"When will you go?" Lu Yi said, "Tell me in advance before going, I will spare time."

"Ah!" Hong Xiao smiled and couldn't even close his mouth, "Okay!"

Lu Yi smiled and rubbed his hair, took out two pendants from his pocket. The pendants were made of Hetian jade, two rings, one larger and the other smaller. He hung the small one on Hong Xiao's neck: "I wish A Xiao a passing exam this time, this is my reward."

Hong Xiao touched the jade novelly and said sweetly: "Thank you brother!"

The two of them happened to walk to the door and were caught by Hong Ying leaning against the door. Hong Ying's eyes were sharp, and they saw the black rope around Hong Xiao's neck at a glance. They narrowed their eyes: "Hong Xiao, what have you taken your brother again?"

Previously, Hong Ying reminded Hong Xiao and Lu Yi that it was not easy to work, and that he would not accept any valuable gifts from him, and that he would suppress the evil spirit that Lu Yi brought them every time he came back.

Hong Xiao didn't know how many times he was being scolded for this, but now he shivered in a reflex manner and took the jade off his neck: "Brother Lu, I can't accept it. How much does it cost you?"

"Don't listen to your sister's nonsense," Lu Yi said with a smile, "This is what I went on a roadside stall when I came. It costs three yuan per person and three yuan ten yuan, which is cheap."

Hong Xiao said oh, looked at Lu Yi, then looked at the jade in his hand, treated it as a treasure, and put it on his neck with confidence.

Hong Ying came to them, took the jade, twisted his fingers, and then placed it under the sun, and smiled at Lu Yisi and said, "It's so cheap? Okay, I'll give you 30,000 yuan in return. You can give me a wholesale dozen, and I'll give you a fun."

"I was wrong," Lu Yi touched his nose, very sincerely, "Sister Hong, I will never bring anything to you next time I come. I will come over empty-handedly, eat yours for free, live yours for free, and I won't leave if I don't eat well or stay well."

Hong Ying reached out and pointed in the air, said nothing, and turned around and entered the room.

After a while, a laughing voice came out—

"Why don't you come in and have a meal? The meal is ready."

***

Hong Ying and Hong Xiao have lost their parents since childhood. Hong Ying has not liked to study since childhood. In order to pull Hong Xiao up, I don’t know how many hard work I have done. But it is not easy for a girl to make a living and still take care of her children. So she was forced to learn a lot of skills, and she was decisive and fierce in fighting. She gradually became more fierce than men in this area, and everyone called her "Sister Hong".

After having a life on the tip of the knife, Hong Ying wanted to settle down, so she moved to the alley. She rented a store two streets away from the alley and opened a small restaurant.

I picked up Lu Yi back then, but it was Lu Yi who reminded her of her original self.

As a result, she made a fortune, and she had a caring younger brother, and she was not making trouble. I don’t know how many times she was well-behaved than Hong Xiao.

During the meal, Hong Ying's face repeatedly flashed with expressions of wanting to speak but stopping.

Lu Yi knew what she was confused about when she looked at people's faces. She took the initiative to say, "Gu Yan is very nice to me."

On the day of getting the marriage certificate, Lu Yi called Hong Ying and said that she was married.

"Gu Yan..." Hong Ying narrowed his eyes, and several pictures flashed through his mind. He asked with some uncertainty, "Is it the one who left a tattoo on you?"

Below Lu Yi's collarbone, there is a tattoo, a blood-red rose, next to the flower is the abbreviation of the two letters GY.

However, Lu Yi has always worn high-neck or round-neck clothes, and has always hidden the tattoo tightly and not allowed anyone to see it.

Hong Ying knew that there was such a tattoo, but the day when he picked up Lu Yi, he curled up in a corner, dying, his clothes were stained with blood. After she took him home, she saw it when she changed his clothes.

The snow-white skin, bright red tattoos, and the flowers bloomed freely, enchanting and bright, as if they were blooming in the snow, shocking.

Lu Yi was silent for a while, lowered his head and nodded softly.

Hong Ying hissed and frowned: "He is really good to you?"

It seems that the two of them had a relationship before, but... Lu Yi was so miserable at the time, why didn't he see this Gu person appear?

Moreover, Lu Yi and Gu Yan's marriage was also a temporary decision, and there was no sign of any sign before.

The more Hong Ying thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He put down the chopsticks with a snap, his eyes curled up, and his expression looked a little fierce: "It's not that he forced you to do this marriage?"

Lu Yi: "......"

This was the second time he had heard this in twenty-four hours.

Lu Yi was amused and crying, and was a little helpless: "No, do you think the five words written on my face are particularly easy to bully?"

Before Hong Ying could speak, Hong Xiao, who was holding a bowl of food, curled his lips and whispered: "I look quite like it."

Hong Ying raised her eyebrows: "Even a child can say this to you, Lu Xiaoyi, should you reflect on yourself?"

Lu Yi looked at Hong Xiao like a stream of good deeds, with a blank expression on his face: "Hong Xiao, I'll give you another chance."

He grinned and grimaced: "Am I super fierce?"

Hong Xiao burst into laughter, almost choking by the food. Following his words, he was overjoyed: "Brother Lu, you are so fierce."

Lu Yi grinded his teeth and felt that he was so kind to this little boy on weekdays.

"I think it's not reliable," Hong Ying was very worried about Lu Yi. She couldn't even eat at this moment. "Why do you find some time to bring someone back and see me?"

Lu Yi fell silent again.

"What?" Hong Ying asked, "Don't you?"

Not that I don't want to.

But it's not necessary.
