Xu Shanlan

Chapter 51 Anger

So several big bosses stood on the steps of the hotel, neither going in nor going down, clapping their shoulders and backs with hearty laughter, acting as if no one else was present.It was an era when nouveau riche were rampant, an era when businessmen were proud, and an era when the gap between rich and poor began to become prominent.

In the midst of the high-spirited scolding Fang Qiu, Cong Zhanyi listened casually to their high-spirited talk with a faint smile on his face.As soon as Gong Kai heard that Xu Shanlan was coming, he obediently lowered his head and stood behind Cong Zhanyi, and quietly opened a little distance.

Cong Zhanyi didn't seem to notice this, he tilted his head slightly, and chatted casually with those people from time to time, but from the corner of his eyes, he kept paying attention to the row of lush weeping willows by the street.

In this world, no one knows Xu Shanlan better than Cong Zhanyi.Xu Shanlan came from the company, which was the direction Cong Zhanyi was looking at. Lanzi was shy and didn't want to talk too much with outsiders. When she saw a group of them gathered together, she would definitely stop at a distance. pace.

Sure enough, within five or six minutes, a figure flashed behind the weeping willow, and the milky white sportswear was particularly conspicuous in the greenery.Cong Zhanyi turned his face around, put his arms around Gong Kai who was hiding behind him, and said, "Let's go."

"Hey, didn't you say to wait for your brother?" Those people were quite surprised.

"Forget it, after such a long time, I may not be able to come. I'll make a phone call later." He pulled the inexplicable Gong Kai into his arms, deliberately turned his back to Xu Shanlan, and chuckled in Gong Kai's ear Said: "Hungry, eat more later."

Everyone laughed tacitly: "Okay, let's go, let's go, Xiao Kai, don't starve, hahaha."

Except for Cong Zhanyi, no one saw Xu Shanlan hiding under the weeping willows, and even Gong Kai, who looked around randomly, didn't see him.Several people bustlingly walked into their own cars, one after another roaring away.

Xu Shanlan clenched his hands into fists and stood up from behind the tree until the car was too far away to be seen.Angry in my heart, I couldn't help but punched the tree trunk hard.It was so powerful that the thick willow tree shook for a while, and the leaves rustled.Biting his lip, he turned and ran home.

Aunt Chen was afraid that the dinner she had just prepared would be cold, so she brought it back to the kitchen. Seeing Xu Shanlan running back with her head down, she shouted, "Oh, I'm back so soon. It's really... I'll take the food away again. return."

"No need for Aunt Chen." Xu Shanlan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making his eyebrows and eyes darker, which added a bit of sharpness, and said with a cold face, "I'm not hungry, I won't eat at night." Run upstairs a few steps.

Aunt Chen had never seen Xu Shanlan's expression like this before, she frowned slightly, and said softly: "This child, really..." Shaking her head helplessly, she went to eat by herself.

Xu Shanlan was suffocated, went back to the room and changed into a set of practice clothes, kicked and slammed the heavy sandbags hanging down, and was so tired that he was sweating all over and still refused to rest for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, there was the sound of stairs outside, Cong Zhanyi walked in and asked, "What kind of boxing are you practicing so late?"

Xu Shanlan didn't look at him, and didn't even look back, as if he didn't hear him, but punched faster and harder.

Cong Zhanyi walked over step by step, stepped forward to hold the dangling sandbag, and asked impatiently: "What's going on? Go to sleep!"

Xu Shanlan raised his head and stared at him.Cong Zhanyi seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his clothes were all open with his collars open, and his face was blushing unnaturally.When Xu Shanlan saw it, he became even more angry, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he punched Cong Zhanyi in the face.

Cong Zhanyi dodged backwards and stretched out his arms to resist.Xu Shanlan's strength was not small, and Cong Zhanyi's forearm was shocked.Cong Zhanyi frowned: "What's the matter with you?!" Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Shanlan's fist came down like a storm.

The two exchanged a dozen or so moves on the mat. Xu Shanlan puffed up his cheeks and held his breath, like a little tiger pouncing on food, punching and kicking mercilessly.Cong Zhanyi was afraid of hurting him at first, so he just parried, retreated step by step, seeing that he was approaching the edge of the mat and there was nowhere to hide, he stepped forward to counterattack.After all, he was more skilled than Xu Shanlan, he pulled his wrist around, causing Xu Shanlan to stagger, and immediately lost his steps, then he kicked his knees forward and pinched Xu Shanlan's arm.

Xu Shanlan struggled twice without moving, panting heavily, sweat slid down his cheeks.

Cong Zhanyi's eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted: "What on earth are you thinking? If you don't go to school during the day and rest at night, you don't even want to practice martial arts! What else can you do?!"

He spoke in a stern voice, if it was before, Xu Shanlan would have been so frightened that he fell silent.But today he retorted loudly as if he had eaten gunpowder: "That's better than you going out to drink and hug a boy!" After speaking, he raised his foot and kicked Cong Zhanyi's lower abdomen. Shrinking back to dodge, the hands that twisted Xu Shanlan's arms loosened.Xu Shanlan took the opportunity to pull out his wrist, took off his glove with a few swipes, threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "You'd better never come back, never leave me alone, senior brother!" He gritted his teeth angrily when he said the last three words Confused, without looking at Cong Zhanyi's face, he turned his head and ran out of the practice room.

That night Xu Shanlan was exhausted from practicing Kungfu, his body was extremely tired and sore, but his mind was abnormally clear, and he tossed and turned hard to fall asleep.Cong Zhanyi hugged Gong Kai in front of him, he lowered his head like that, his lips almost touched Gong Kai's ear... Xu Shanlan was sad and sad, and felt indescribably disappointed and painful, until the middle of the night. Fell asleep.

He knew he was dreaming, but the scene in the dream was real.It seems to be back when I was a child, being held by the senior brother, they sat on the train together, bang bang, bang bang... The senior brother said to him: "Don't be afraid if you can't find your mother, there is me... and I Woolen cloth……"

A child suddenly jumped out and hugged the elder brother: "Brother, you are my brother, you are my own brother!" Turning to look at Xu Shanlan, it was vaguely the little Gong Kai: "Who are you? You go Look for your parents, not my brother!"

Cong Zhanyi put his arms around the little guy, and said coldly to Xu Shanlan: "You should go home, I have a younger brother, don't you..."

Xu Shanlan was full of sadness, where could he go, how could he have a home.He watched the intimate scene of the two, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Xu Shanlan woke up, but the tears didn't stop. His heart ached into a ball, buried his face deeply in the pillow, and whispered softly like from his soul: "Brother...Brother..."

Cong Zhanyi met Xu Shanlan in the practice room in the morning.The young man was neatly dressed in his exercise uniform, and his gloves and protective gear were placed on the ground beside his feet. It seemed that he had already prepared for it.Xu Shanlan pursed his lips with a cold face, his whole body looked like a sculpture carved in ice, except that his eyes were slightly red and swollen, revealing a bit of fragility.Xu Shanlan didn't bow his head, and didn't deliberately try to conceal that fragility.He looked at Cong Zhanyi stubbornly, looked straight into Cong Zhanyi's eyes, bowed to Cong Zhanyi with an almost too standard posture, and said, "Good morning, big brother."

At that moment, Cong Zhanyi really wanted to hold this distressed and angry little guy in his arms and rub him vigorously for a while.But he didn't move after all, he only slightly nodded his head, as if he didn't hear the change of his junior brother's address at all, and said indifferently: "Since you're here, let's practice."

This time Xu Shanlan was able to fight, his fists were sharp and fast, and his legs were strong and powerful.The biggest difference between Sanda and martial arts is confrontation. Cong Zhanyi gave a detailed explanation from footwork to wrestling to legwork, and gave Xu Shanlan correct posture, punch strength, and some tactics.Xu Shanlan practiced very seriously, and listened very carefully, occasionally asking a few questions, this lesson was surprisingly effective.

During the meal, Xu Shanlan came down early and stood at the table. After Cong Zhanyi sat down, he went to his seat and said, "Brother, eat." The two ate in silence, and then went to school and went to work separately.

For several days, Aunt Chen could see that something was wrong with the two senior brothers, they were as polite as strangers, alienated and indifferent to each other.She has been helping Yin Yi's family, and she has never seen the way Cong Zhanyi and Gu Haiping get along with each other, so she was very surprised.Couldn't help but secretly asked Cong Zhanyi: "What's wrong with Lanzi?"

Cong Zhanyi shook his head with a casual look: "Children's temperament will be fine in two days."

Aunt Chen went to ask Xu Shanlan again, and the young man lowered his eyelids, showing a bit of Cong Zhanyi's calm and old-fashioned face, and said, "It's nothing, Aunt Chen, you can go about your business."

Aunt Chen could only sigh.

Luo Yanan feels that Xu Shanlan has been very silent recently. Of course, he didn't like to talk before, but he has never been like this now. Maybe it's not silence, but loneliness.Luo Yanan asked him: "Are you and your brother still reconciled?"

Xu Shanlan shook his head, and suddenly said after a long time: "I found that in this world, no one can be relied on, after all, you have to rely on yourself."

This sentence was nonsensical and groundless, which made Luo Yanan confused.However, Xu Shanlan practiced dance more seriously than before, and often asked for extra practice after school.

But no one noticed that there was anything wrong with it, because the school celebration was about to begin soon.The show they performed had to go through five stages and cut six generals before they could win the final opportunity to report on the performance.

Yin Yi put down the phone, annoyed and funny: "Look, Sister Chen has called me all the time, saying that Lanzi and Zhan Yi have conflicts, and she doesn't know what to do."

"Conflict?" Conglin put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at Yin Yi through the reading glasses, "Zhan Yi? With Lanzi? It's unlikely."

"I'm just saying that. Zhan Yi almost made Lan Zi a confession, and there are still conflicts? I told him before, don't pamper Lan Zi too much, that child has his own eyes, just look, let's see." as it is now."

"Hmph." Conglin shook the newspaper, stood up and continued to read, "It's not big or small. Lanzi was a good seed at first, but he ruined it."

"You teach well." Yin Yi rolled his eyes at him, "You taught all the apprentices away."

"Hey hey hey." Conglin didn't like to hear it, "Haiping is the only apprentice of mine now, don't push all the cats and dogs up."

"What a cat or a dog." Yin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "That's your son, if it was a cat or a dog, what would you become?"

Jungle also felt a little awkward, chuckled and coughed twice.

Yin Yi said: "You haven't recovered from your cold yet, let Sister Zhang cook some pear soup for you to moisten your lungs at night."

"How can you be so delicate? I used to go to the countryside and couldn't even eat enough. A cold is just a sleep."

"You are old now..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I found that you are getting more and more verbose." Conglin glared at Yin Yi, "I'll cook tonight, Jiuniangwanzi, I've seen that you are gluttonous."

Yin Yi laughed: "It's just for Sister Zhang to rest."

The phone rang again, and Yin Yi raised his hand: "You answer it, don't be Aunt Chen again, I won't go back and teach those two little things a lesson."

Conglin took off his glasses: "Okay, I'll take it." He stood up and walked to the table, picked up the phone, "Hey, who is it—" Then his face changed.

Yin Yi was still smiling at first, but when he saw that Jung Jung's expression was wrong, he suppressed his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jungle waved to him, signaling to stop talking, but his eyes dimmed little by little.Finally said: "I see, thank you for letting me know, I will go and have a look in a few days." The tone was low and sad.

Yin Yi's heart trembled, he stepped forward to support Jung Cong's slightly trembling body, took the phone and put it down, and asked, "What happened?"

Conglin closed his eyes and slowly sat down on the sofa. He said, "It's Yan Hongjun. He died yesterday. He has a brain hemorrhage."
