Chapter 468: Blockage

"Zheng Xun, is this what you ate before?"

Zheng Lin took a large bag of lemon candy and handed it to Zheng Xun, bringing him back to consciousness.

"Well... a little bit like it, but not exactly the same."

Zheng Xun took the bag of candy that Zheng Lin gave him in his hand.

"Then I'll look for it again."

Zheng Lin became particularly patient today, and he didn't mind Zheng Xun causing trouble and making him angry.

The shelves of candy and chocolate are always full of dazzling things, exuding a faint fragrance. The colorful candy wrappers reflect the lights of the supermarket, brilliant and dazzling, and there are children next to them, asking their mothers to buy her an extra piece of chocolate.

Zheng Lin put one hand in the pocket of his coat, and the other hand brushed over the beautiful and eye-catching packaging. Occasionally, he would take a pack from the shelf, look at the trademark on the front, and then turn it over to see the ingredient list on the back.

Zheng Xun stared at his brother's profile. This might be the last time they would go shopping in the supermarket peacefully like this.

Zheng Lin is not his real brother, and there has never been such a character in Zheng Xun's childhood memory.

It was just a coincidence that he came here and filled the vacancy of Zheng Lin's younger brother.

Because Zheng Lin's younger brother had died of illness and cremated, even if the two were replaced, the other party would be sent to the second world, and it would only be a desolate grave.

Zheng Xun will never be resurrected.

To be fair, Zheng Lin is very good to him.

Whether he regards Zheng Xun as a replacement or not, he has been taking care of him for more than ten years and tolerant of everything about him.

When Zheng Xun was rebellious, he had a bad temper. He would have conflicts with Zheng Lin every few days and yelled to go home.

Every time, Zheng Xun vented his emotions unilaterally, and Zheng Lin's emotions were not stable like a human.

He would not treat him with cold violence. He just sat silently opposite Zheng Xun, and when he was tired of arguing, he could pass a cup of warm water to the other party.

Zheng Xun would often be amused by his action of passing water, and forget his temper in an instant.

No matter where this fate came from, the brothers have spent more than ten years like this.

Until Zheng Xun was twenty years old, he left the world and left Zheng Lin's sight.

If it is true, from beginning to end, Zheng Lin did not owe him anything.

It's just that he doesn't belong here. This gorgeous dream is finally broken, and they should all face reality.

"Brother, just buy this."

Zheng Xun shook the bag of candy in his hand. This was the first bag Zheng Lin gave him.

The plastic bag was shaken by him, making a rustling sound, and the individually wrapped candies inside also shook, a full bag.

"Don't keep looking?" Zheng Lin turned his head and asked him.

"No, this one is good."

Even if it's not the same brand, Zheng Xun thinks that this bag of candy is enough.

They bought a lot of food, the shopping cart was full, and they pushed it to the self-service checkout counter to check out.

Zheng Xun scanned the products one by one in the scanning area, and the machine made a beeping sound.

He caught a glimpse of a few malicious figures in his peripheral vision. These people suddenly appeared when they were halfway through the supermarket.

It's easy to figure out which group they are.

Yunqi Group finally found this place.

Zheng Xun didn't expect to solve the problem once and for all. One yuan has bought him enough time.

After scanning all the goods, Zheng Lin paid.

They each carried a large bag of things and got on the car to go home. After returning home, Zheng Lin didn't seem to have any intention of returning to school.

"Huh? Brother, don't you have a lecture this afternoon?"

"The time has been changed."

Zheng Lin took out the things in the convenience bag one by one, sorted them, put some in the refrigerator, and put others in the living room and kitchen.

"My brother is so sick that he is almost unconscious, and I still go to teach him. Brother is not so careless."

"... I think I'm quite normal. Brother, you don't have to worry about me too much. Just do your own thing."

Zheng Lin didn't comment, but just asked Zheng Xun to go into the kitchen to help him.

They worked all afternoon until about eight o'clock in the evening, when they had dinner.

As if Zheng Lin was afraid that Zheng Xun would not be able to taste his cooking tomorrow, he showed everything he could, and the dishes filled the table.

Zheng Lin opened a bottle of red wine, poured it for Zheng Xun, and then poured it for himself.

The two talked a lot that night.

Zheng Xun's alcohol tolerance was average, and he started talking nonsense when he was drunk, but only he knew whether he was really drunk.

He talked about his childhood and his first meeting with Zheng Lin.

"I keep thinking about your senior year in high school..."

Zheng Xun lay on the table, his fingers on the rim of the goblet, shaking it back and forth.

The remaining red wine in the glass swayed with it.

"At that time, our family was still poor and we didn't have the conditions to turn on the air conditioner. The electricity bill was too expensive. It was very hot in the summer. You sat at the narrow desk to study. Your clothes were soaked with sweat and turned very dark, but you didn't move and insisted on doing the questions.

I lay on the floor with my arms and legs spread out. The floor was cool. I was drowsy and could only hear the sound of your gel pen writing and the cicadas outside the window.

Brother, you have been very hardworking and smart since you were a child. You deserve a better life. Your life should be like this, leveling up and fighting monsters all the way, going higher and higher, until you shine in the field you are good at."

And he... was just a mistake that came by chance.

If it weren't for him, Zheng Lin would sooner or later get out of the double blow of his parents' death and his brother's death. It was just a matter of time.

Zheng Lin is a rational and restrained person. He knows how to adjust his mood and cheer himself up again.

And he will meet Li Siqi, who will definitely have a way to cure his psychological shadow.

But the appearance of Zheng Xun disrupted everything.

Just as Zheng Lin himself said, Zheng Xun is a collection of troubles. From the day he came, his existence has been given a different meaning and value.

This value will attract many people to plot ill and bring endless troubles.

If there was no Zheng Xun, Zheng Lin would not take the risk and join Yunqi Group.

Of course, he would not have any intersection with people like Yun Qitian, and he would not be entangled by Yunqi Group for more than ten years.

After that, this careless brother suddenly disappeared and ran back to another world. There was no idea when he could come back or whether he could come back.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zheng Xun completely understood why Zheng Lin wanted to restrict his actions and pay attention to his social life.

If it were him, he would also keep this lunatic running around all day under his eyes and stare at him every day.

However, Zheng Lin didn't have to live such a life, nervous, anxious, and worried about gains and losses.

"You could have enjoyed flowers and applause, and spent your whole life surrounded by people."

Zheng Xun turned his head and lay his whole face between his arms.

Zheng Lin put down the wine glass in his hand, lowered his eyes to look at his brother and his hair whorls hidden between his thick black hair.

Zheng Lin, who had said very little all night, finally spoke.

"Zheng Xun, that's just what you think of as a 'perfect life'. I am very satisfied with everything I have now and have no complaints."

"It's different, brother, they are different..."

Zheng Xun muttered this sentence repeatedly, his voice was very frustrated.

"Drunk," Zheng Lin pushed the wine glass next to his brother's hand a little further away, "Go back to the room and rest."

Zheng Xun stood up, swayed twice, and supported the table with both hands.

"Mr. Zheng Xun, do you have anything to add?"

Zheng Lin took out his posture of attending an academic conference and looked at the staggering Zheng Xun with some amusement.

"I... I'm going to sleep."

Zheng Xun stood up with a strong momentum, but his voice was very light.

"Goodbye, brother."

He seemed to be unable to distinguish between good night and goodbye, and said "goodbye" to Zheng Lin.

But when Zheng Lin heard the word "goodbye", the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Zheng Xun returned to the room, and the moment he closed the door, the drunkenness in his eyes disappeared.

On the contrary, he was much more awake than usual, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Zheng Xun glanced at the burning incense on the bedside, and he leaned over to blow it out.

Then he began to pack his things. In fact, there was nothing to bring. Ying Siming told Yun Jing that everything would be prepared for him, as long as he could get downstairs on time.

Zheng Xun stuck to the door and listened to the movement outside.

His brother should be cleaning the table, and there was a sound of dishes colliding.

Then he went to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and the sound of water was constantly flowing.

There was also the sound of the dishwasher starting.

About fifteen minutes later, Zheng Lin put the washed dishes back on the storage rack and wiped the water droplets on his hands.

According to his usual habit, he would go back to the study, read the literature for two to three hours, or prepare the lecture notes for the next day, work alone for a while, and then go back to rest.

During this period, Zheng Lin would lock the door of the study, keep the working environment quiet, and prevent Zheng Xun, the monkey, from disturbing him.

Zheng Xun planned to leave at this time.

He sat on the bed and took out a watch from his coat pocket, and the second hand ticked.

It's almost time.

Although there was still half an hour before the time agreed with Yun Jing, Zheng Xun was afraid that there would be any changes during this period, so he planned to go downstairs and wait for him in advance.

At this moment, Zheng Lin, who was supposed to work in the study, quietly opened the door of the study.

He walked outside Zheng Xun's bedroom, reached into the pocket of his trousers with his right hand, and took out a key from it.

The key was inserted into the keyhole and rotated. Click, the door was locked.

Zheng Xun in the room was zipping up his clothes, and suddenly heard a strange sound from the door lock.

He rushed to the door almost instantly and knocked on the door twice.

"Brother? Is that you?!"
