Brother gives himself to you_

Inside the rental house, Mu Xingchen's old phone rang with a text message alert tone that almost never sounded. He stared at the phone for a long time before he tremblingly reached out to open the text message.

　　-Brother is home, waiting for your call.

　　Mu Xingchen didn't believe Lu Wenyi's words that he had returned home. He silently put down his phone and lay down for a long time, until he couldn't stand the hunger anymore. He got up and went out despite his fear, but unexpectedly, he didn't see the figure that frightened him nearby.

　　Is he really gone?

　　After walking around and not seeing Lu Wenyi, Mu Xingchen still didn't believe that he was gone. He assumed that he was hiding in a corner that he couldn't find. Holding the phone in his hand, he walked silently towards the small restaurant where he usually ate. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he received another new text message.

　　-Don't be afraid, brother.

　　Still not receiving a reply, Lu Wenyi lowered his eyes, put the phone back in his pocket, looked up at Qin Qing who was drinking water, "Thank you for taking care of him."

　　Hearing Lu Wenyi's words, Li Zhou, who was sitting next to him, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for telling us about Xingchen's situation. Before he is willing to go back with us, we may have to trouble you to take care of him for a few more days." Noticing Lu Wenyi's gaze, he hurriedly reminded and emphasized, "This is what we have discussed and confirmed with you! Don't regret it!"

　　Lu Wenyi pursed his lips and nodded, then picked up the cold coffee and took a sip. The coffee without milk was very bitter, but he felt that the taste was sweeter than the bitterness in his heart.

　　"...I've told you so much, shouldn't you also tell me why Xingchen is wandering around? When I first met him, he was much more miserable than he is now."

　　Qin Qing thought about the scene of his first meeting with Mu Xingchen and sighed, "He should have gone to the hospital to see a doctor for his leg, right? I saw him holding a wooden stick, ready to slide off the bus, so pitiful..."

　　These words pulled Lu Wenyi's thoughts back from the darkness. He raised his head and looked at the person sitting opposite him, who had made him almost unable to restrain his malice countless times, and asked in a hoarse voice, "When did you go to the hospital? Which hospital?" "

　　Four or five months ago? I don't quite remember. People's Hospital, we used to sing nearby."

　　Four or five months ago? And it was still People's Hospital.

　　Li Zhou looked at Lu Wenyi, who was frowning, in surprise, and subconsciously said, "Isn't the People's Hospital where you stayed when you had a car accident four or five months ago?" He reacted, lowered his voice, and said with certainty, "Xingchen went to see you."

Thinking of the many times he had passed by his beloved brother, Lu Wenyi couldn't stay for a moment. He returned to the downstairs of the rental house with three tails, and happened to meet Mu Xingchen who had just returned from dinner.

　　Lu Wenyi walked quickly to Mu Xingchen with a gloomy face. Under the gaze of those obviously frightened eyes, he stretched out his hand and pressed the person into his arms. His bearded chin rubbed his brother's forehead, "I'm sorry." He added in a very light voice, "Don't be afraid of me."

　　Mu Xingchen was released and even watched Lu Wenyi disappear around the corner. He didn't react yet. He looked blankly at Li Zhou and the other two standing in front of him, and confirmed with the system, "Did he just say sorry to me? Is he gone?"
