Zhou Wu and I asked in unison, which made us both laugh. Amid Zhao Ruoxuan and Han Xinrui's doubts, I opened my arms and gave Zhou Wu a fierce bear hug.
We both know each other!
Not only do we know each other, we are brothers who were in trouble many years ago!
No wonder, just now I always felt that his back and voice were somewhat familiar.
Next, on the second floor of Phoebe Slow Bar, Zhao Ruoxuan was the host. Four people, Zhou Wu, Zhao Ruoxuan, and Han Xinrui, and I sat in a special private room to drink and chat.
Everyone introduced each other first. I introduced Han Xinrui as my senior sister, not my wife's sister. Since Han Xiaoyue married me in a low-key manner, I will not go around telling the truth about my relationship with Han Xiaoyue.
After the introduction, I found out that Zhou Wu was Zhao Ruoxuan's bodyguard at the Slow Bar, and the man in a suit who came to pick up Zhao Ruoxuan at the piano store in the afternoon was Zhou Wu.
However, Zhao Ruoxuan did not treat Zhou Wu as a bodyguard, but called him "Brother Zhou Wu." When Zhou Wu saw that she and I were colleagues in the music shop, he asked Zhao Ruoxuan to call him Brother Wu.
Calling them this way makes our relationship appear more cordial.
Zhou Wu didn't say why he was Zhao Ruoxuan's bodyguard, and Zhao Ruoxuan didn't mention it either.
She and Han Xinrui were both curious, how could Zhou Wu and I be brothers?
After getting Zhou Wu's consent, I told them how I got acquainted with Zhou Wu.
When I was picking up rubbish when I was a child, Zhou Wu was also forced to pick up rubbish at night because of his poor family.
We are similar in age, Zhou Wu is two years older than me, so we two children who made a living by picking up garbage met each other because of the same fate, and soon became good friends who talked about everything.
"Ye Jing and I have a very good relationship, but we haven't seen each other for at least eight years, so neither of us recognized each other immediately tonight."
Zhou Wu recalled the past with sincere enthusiasm in his eyes: "I remember during the Spring Festival many years ago, I went to pick up fireworks and firecrackers set off by other people's homes, so I didn't pick up other valuable garbage for three days in a row."
"I was afraid of being beaten by my adoptive father when I went home, so I went to see Ye Jing every night. Without thinking, Ye Jing gave me half of the garbage he picked up for three consecutive days."
Zhou Wu drank a large glass of beer with me and continued to reflect on the taste: "Don't think that garbage is worthless, but for Ye Jing at that time, it was his only source of livelihood. Ye Jing, Brother Wu, remember your love."
!”
When I heard this, I quickly waved my hands and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, what are you talking about? We are each other. When I was thin and bullied, didn't you help me fight back every time when you found out?"
"Haha, it's really like that." Zhou Wu answered and said with a smile: "I still remember very clearly. On Ye Jing's thirteenth birthday, this kid went to peek at his female classmate taking a shower, and he was..."
Cough cough cough…
I hurriedly pretended to cough. Zhao Ruoxuan and Han Xinrui were sitting in the private room. I didn't expect Zhou Wu to mention my embarrassing incident. I immediately noticed that the way they looked at me changed.
"It's not what you think. I didn't go to see my female classmate take a bath at all."
I was so anxious that I grabbed the topic and explained: "That year, my female classmate was sick. I saw that she didn't come to class for a day, and she also said that she would give me candy on my birthday. I couldn't see her.
She, I went to her house to find her as soon as possible after school."
"No one answered the door when I knocked on the door, so I had to climb out of her window to see how my female classmates were doing." At this point, I lowered my voice in embarrassment:
"Unexpectedly, the window I climbed up turned out to be the bathroom of my female classmate's house. I had never been in her room before, so I didn't know the specific situation. I didn't know she was taking a shower in the bathroom..."
Zhou Wu burst out laughing when he heard this: "You heard it, even though Ye Jing didn't mean to do it, he still took a peek."
I quickly said no, I didn’t see clearly.
As soon as these words came out, I noticed that Zhao Ruoxuan pursed her lips and smiled secretly.
But Han Xinrui teased me and said that I had never learned well since I was a child and was a complete pervert.
Zhou Wu laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears and said: "It was because of this that Ye Jing was beaten by the brother of a female classmate. I didn't care at that time, so I helped Ye Jing beat him back and beat that boy away."
You were beaten to the point of being hospitalized, right?"
I nodded and said yes. Looking back on the past, I really felt that Zhou Wu was very good to me, and our relationship was even closer than that of real brothers.
"Men's friendship in adolescence is really amazing."
Seeing that Zhou Wu and I have a strong relationship, Han Xinrui raised a glass to the two of us and said with emotion: "Between men, sometimes the word "brother" means they will be brothers for life."
Zhao Ruoxuan nodded with approval. She picked up her own glass of water and took a sip with the three of us. She said, "I hope we all have a good life. I really don't drink. I use water instead of wine to toast us."
Our youth in the past!"
Dry!
The four of us clinked our cups together, then looked at each other and laughed.
After sitting for nearly half an hour, Zhao Ruoxuan said that she had something to do and had to leave first. Zhou Wu originally planned to give her a ride, but Zhao Ruoxuan pushed her down on the sofa to drink.
Zhao Ruoxuan said that we two brothers had not seen each other for many years and wanted us to have a good chat, and said that she would let someone else give her away.
Zhao Ruoxuan left, and Han Xinrui, who drank quickly, was so drunk that she fell asleep on the sofa soon.
Zhou Wuze and I continued to drink one cup after another. I asked him how he had been during the past eight years.
Zhou Wu told me that because his adoptive father passed away and the public housing he lived in was taken back, he became a homeless orphan.
In order to survive, Zhou Wu went to work in a coastal city. He was sixteen years old at the time. He originally went to my house to look for me the night before he left Xihe City, but my sister and I were not at home at the time, so he had to stay with me.
Leave with a letter.
As for that letter, Zhou Wu didn't know any of my other classmates, so he had to put it with my female classmate who I accidentally read, hoping that she could pass it on to me.
But until now, I have never seen that letter. Eight years ago, I thought it was Zhou Wu who left without saying goodbye.
I wasn't surprised that my female classmate didn't write to me. I knew she hated me. Firstly, she thought I was peeking at her on purpose, and secondly, Zhou Wu had indeed injured the female classmate's brother.
"A lot of things happened after we went to the coast. Those unhappy things are all over, and I don't want to mention them anymore." Zhou Wu took a sip of wine, lit a cigarette and handed it to me.
I said I didn't smoke, but Zhou Wu insisted on letting me light it up, so I had to put it in my mouth to show off.
Zhou Wu lit up a cigarette and smoked it. He said that he had not had a good life in the coastal city in the past few years, but three years ago he met the noble man in his life. The noble man appreciated him, took Zhou Wu with him, and took the trouble to teach him.
Some of Zhou Wu’s martial arts and survival skills.
Later, the noble passed away due to illness, and Zhou Wu returned to Xihe City at the end of last year. Thanks to a letter of introduction from the noble before his death, Zhou Wu followed a very famous big shot in Xihe City.
But Zhou Wu didn't say who this big shot was. He drank three glasses of wine with me, patted me on the shoulder, and said sincerely:
"It's not that Brother Wu didn't tell you, but I'm thinking about you. You have also seen that I am ruthless now, and something will happen if I am not careful. I don't want to involve you in my current circle, Ye Jing, do you understand?
?”
I hummed hard, thinking of Zhou Wu's ferocity in crushing Li Wenzhe. I saw that Zhou Wu didn't want to mention something. Looking at his current clothes and temperament, I guessed that Zhou Wu must be a gangster.
breed people.
"Brother Wu, I understand how good you are to me." I reached out and patted the back of Zhou Wu's hand, and said sternly: "No matter what you are doing, no matter when and where, as long as you have something to tell me, I will do it."
It is our duty to do so. Brother Wu, we are brothers for life!"
Hahaha……
Zhou Wu laughed loudly when he heard this. He pressed my shoulder harder and said to me word by word: "Same Ye Jing, if you have something to say, I used to be able to go to Daoshan for you, but now I am equally willing."
I’ll go into the sea of fire for you!”
I raised my head and drank the whole bottle of wine and smiled.
Smiling, I suddenly stretched out my arms to hug Zhou Wu tightly, patted his back, and almost cried.
I swallowed even more and said: "Brother Wu, do you know that in the past eight years since you left, I...I didn't even have a friend I could talk to, and others despised me for being poor. Many times, I sat in front of us
We were in a noisy garbage dump together, and I cried just thinking about you. Brother Wu, I miss you so much, I really miss you..."
I clearly felt that Zhou Wuxiong's arms hugged me tightly. He patted my back and said forcefully: "I know you miss me. Isn't my brother back? Ye Jing, uh uh, let's not cry.
Wuwu... don't cry, Wuwu, cry the hell, Wuwu..."
Although he said he wouldn't cry, Zhou Wu cried before me. Under the influence of alcohol, we hugged each other and cried.
It is estimated that no one can understand the bitter crying between me and Zhou Wu. People who have never experienced fighting with others over picking up a dime of garbage cannot understand the brotherly relationship between Zhou Wu and me.
Countless times in the past, I was bullied by people older than me because of that dime of rubbish, and Zhou Wu would always rush over and start a fight with him.
When Zhou Wu was around, although I was still poor, almost no one dared to bully me anymore.
But after Zhou Wu left, I experienced countless times of being bullied. In my heart, Zhou Wu is my eldest brother.
And now, my eldest brother is finally back!
At that moment, all the grievances I had experienced and suffered over the years were vented in my tears.
I can also feel the same. Zhou Wu must have encountered endless ups and downs in coastal cities in the past few years. When he was in trouble and helpless, he would think of me and the days when we two brothers were close to each other.
If youth is a song, then Zhou Wu and I are the most intimate and harmonious notes in the song.
"You two..."
Just when Zhou Wu and I were crying unnaturally, the drunk Han Xinrui suddenly woke up. She saw the scene of two grown men hugging each other and crying. Han Xinrui was completely stunned.
The next sentence Han Xinrui said scared me and Zhou Wu and separated immediately.
She looked at the two of us with an expression of surprise and blurted out: "You two are so sticky, are you gay?"
