Because he was too surprised, Zhao Wuchen almost called out Ji Rui’s name, but he thought that the two of them didn’t know each other yet, so he stopped abruptly and spat out the word “Ji” in front of everyone.

It was early in the morning, and the courtyard was still quiet, so everyone heard Zhao Wuchen’s loud single syllable.

Lu Yi glanced at him and knew that what Zhao Wuchen wanted to call should be Ji Rui. When he came in, he found that Zhao Wuchen was unusual, and he could vaguely guess that Ji Rui should be the white moonlight in Zhao Wuchen’s heart.

In terms of age, Ji Rui was indeed two years older than Zhao Wuchen, so there was nothing wrong with calling him a senior. But when he met Ji Rui, Ji Rui had a gray face, even a little yellow and thin. He never thought that this gray and weak Ji Rui would be Zhao Wuchen’s white moonlight.

Yes, the Lu family’s background was good, but in X City, where the house price was often 70,000 to 80,000, or even hundreds of thousands, the Lu family’s savings could be emptied, and it was estimated that they could only buy a toilet.

And Ji Rui’s family owns a house in X City, and Ji Rui mentioned it, but didn’t say much about the rich grandfather.

When Zhao Wuchen and Ji Rui met, it must have been after the former turned 20 years old, and Ji Rui in a few years should have grown into a good enough young man.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, but his face was calm and did not say anything.

As for Lu’s father and Lu’s mother, who came to pick up their son and guests, although they didn’t understand why the neighbor’s children were screaming, they were all adults, so they couldn’t say anything.

Comrade Lu Er, Lu Yi’s younger brother, had always been against Zhao Wuchen, so he immediately seized the opportunity to let out a mocking laugh: “Learn to croak early in the morning, who is so cute at such a young age, I’m really not ashamed.”

Just after the discording word came out, Zhao Wuchen’s fair face had not yet dyed the embarrassed pink, and Lu Er screamed: “Mom, how do you screw me? I’m still not your own son?!”

Mother Lu laughed awkwardly: “Xiao Chen, you got up so early. Don’t pay attention to Lu Er, he has a bad mouth.”

Zhao Wuchen shook his head, still playing a well-behaved role: “Well, no, I know Lu Er didn’t do it on purpose.”

He pretended to be curious and asked, “Auntie, this is?”

Mother Lu glanced at the boy who was following Lu Yi, and said with a smile, “It’s Lu Yi’s friend. We’ll go first, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“Oh.” Zhao Wuchen responded and glanced at Ji Rui a few more times.

When looking at Zhao Wuchen, Ji Rui felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Childhood sweetheart, neighborhoods, looked fair and clean, looked gay, maybe there was some secret love.

However, this idea just came and went in his mind, because Lu Yi quickly walked away with long legs, and if he couldn’t keep up, he would be left behind.

He and Lu Yi entered the second-floor building of Lu’s house. Lu Yi had called in advance, and Lu’s mother had packed the guest room in advance and basked in the warm quilt.

This was the first time that Lu Yi had brought a friend home. In Lu’s mother’s mind, Zhao Wuchen didn’t count. That’s the neighbor’s child, who always walked around.

After listening to Lu Yi’s account of Ji Rui’s family background, and seeing the real person, a well-behaved child. Mother Lu, who was already warm-hearted, would inevitably feel pity for Ji Rui, and she was very warm and considerate towards Ji Rui.

As for Lu Er, he had no way to be warm and close to the guests, but he was not an annoying guest, and he would not be mischievous and show an unwelcome attitude.

On the first day in the Lu family, seeing the family of four getting along, Ji Rui realized the feeling of a long-lost and very warm home, which made him envious and liked.

Lu Yi had been in this house for a few days. Although he had most of the memory of the original owner, he was not alone after all. In front of his parents, he could only try his best to lean in the direction of the original owner.

Fortunately, he and Lu’s father and Lu’s mother had not seen each other for more than half a year. Although the changes were a lot, Lu’s mother would not think in the direction of ghosts. She just though that he had gone to college and was more sensible and stable.

But in Ji Rui’s eyes, Lu Yi became more gentle, more human, and more attractive to him at home.

Because Lu’s father and Lu’s mother didn’t know the sexual orientation of the eldest son, they were insensitive to this kind of thing. Seeing that the two got along, they also though that the two had a good relationship.

After all, they were friends who could be brought home, could they have no feelings? But Lu Er was different. When the original owner and Zhao Wuchen were together, Lu Er knew.

It was just that he didn’t like Zhao Wuchen, the male sister-in-law. He didn’t dare to do bad things directly, because he felt that Zhao Wuchen was a bit snobby, and sooner or later he wouldn’t be able to walk with his brother for long.

There was no way, his brother was really fascinated at the time, and he wouldn′t listen to what other said. If he insisted, and involved his parents, he would definitely break down with his brother.

Although Lu Er was a few years younger than Lu Yi, he had the most mind in the family, and it was only at that time that he thought about it, and he heard the school teacher talk about the dangers of puppy love. They said that once a boy and a girl in the school got together, but after a few years of talking, the man was abandoned, and the man went crazy and committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The main purpose of the teacher was to tell them that these minors have not yet matured in their minds and that puppy love was too harmful.

But in Lu Er′s ears, the lesson he summed up was that his brother Lu Yi had already made up with Zhao Wuchen, and was eaten to death by Zhao Wuchen. If there was a big trouble, Zhao Wuchen would definitely break up without pain or itching, but his brother would go crazy and commit suicide.

He was just such a big brother, and the two brothers were in a good relationship, so he didn’t want Lu Yi to commit suicide.

In the past six months, although Lu Yi hadn’t come back from X City, he had sent a lot of things from online shopping. His younger brother’s benefits were even more soft-spoken, and it was even more difficult for him to mix with his elder brother’s feelings.

But this didn’t stop him from seeing Zhao Wuchen with disapproval.

Lu Yi mentioned the breakup with Zhao Wuchen lightly before. Although he didn’t know the specific situation, Lu Er felt that it must be a bad thing that Zhao Wuchen did. Otherwise, just like his brother’s deep-rooted love, if he wasn’t very hurt, why would he break up.

This time, Lu Yi came back and brought his friend home. Parents couldn’t see it, but he had already seen it, this friend must like his brother.

After observing for a few days, he found that Ji Rui looked at his brother exactly the same way his brother looked at Zhao Wuchen.

Don’t think he didn’t know anything. During this period of time, Zhao Wuchen had been trying to please his mother and often use his brother’s words.

He was a little worried that Lu Yi and Zhao Wuchen’s old relationship would rekindle, and his own strength was not enough, so he would make an ally.

In the evening, while Lu Yi was tossing around in the study, he ran to the guest’s room and closed the door. Lu Er asked bluntly, “You like my brother, right?”

Ji Rui’s face immediately turned red. He wanted to deny it, but when the words came to his mouth, he stammered: “You, how did you see it?”

The fact was exactly as he expected, Lu Er was very proud: “That’s my brother, of course I can see it. Just your eyes, sticking to my brother, that is, my parents and their simplicity can’t see it. ”

Ji Rui calmed down, he didn’t know what Lu Er came in for: “So, are you going to keep me away from your brother?”

Liking Lu Yi was his own business, and had nothing to do with Lu Er. Even if Lu Er objected, he would stubbornly keep his liking.

“Who wants to be a queen mother who breaks up the couple, I just came to tell you that my brother is very good, you have to watch him closely.”

Ji Rui thought of Lu Yi, her face blushed a bit: “I know, he is very good.”

He sighed softly: “But I have nothing to do with your brother.”

Lu Er looked at him in disbelief: “No, you and my brother don’t have that kind of relationship?”

Ji Rui also thought about it, but he said: “I like your brother, but your brother doesn’t like me.”

Lu Er didn’t believe it: “My brother must like you, otherwise he won’t bring you back. He didn’t make it clear; it must be.. By the way, it must be because he suffered a serious emotional injury!”

He continued: “Just the Zhao Wuchen, the one in the gray coat who always wanted to talk to you, don’t you know, he’s an ex-boyfriend.”

Ex-boyfriend! Ji Rui’s ears perked up, and his eyes were like 100-watt incandescent lamps, staring at Lu Er.

His voice was rough: “Can you tell me about him and your brother?”

Lu Er didn’t really want to talk about the stupid things his brother did in the past, so he just said a few words: “It’s that my brother used to like him very much, and he was very kind to him, but they broke up. I guess it was Zhao Wuchen. Speaking of, now my brother has become more handsome and temperamental than before, and he is the first college student in the yard, if you don’t hurry up, maybe his heart will be taken away by Zhao Wuchen.”

Thanks to the bloody TV series that Lu Er and Lu’s mother watched, and the seven aunts in the yard, although he had never talked about relationships, he seemed like a love expert when he talked about this kind of thing.

Ji Rui’s eyes darkened a bit, Lu Er swallowed, moisturizing his smoking throat: “You don’t want to give up just like that, do you?”

Ji Rui clenched her fists: “Of course not!”

He was still a little hesitant at first, but Lu Yi’s ex-boyfriend came out, he finally had a chance, why would he let it go to someone else.

This was almost the same, Lu Er threw a bait: “A few days before the Chinese New Year, we will have a temple fair here..”

“I heard from your brother that you like the superheroes of the V family very much. I have a full set of their figures, a collector’s edition.”

Lu Er heard himself swallowing a big mouthful of saliva, with a heart-warming voice: “Deal!”
