Life is more than just living

Chapter 242 Men’s way of getting along with each other

During dinner, Lin Zhiyuan came over with some anxiety. He kept looking at Liu Jingsheng. Because his gaze was too direct, Chen Xu noticed it and kept coughing to remind Lin Zhiyuan to pay attention.

After eating, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly said: "Xiao Liu, I got some good tea. Come to my room to treat you to a cup of tea!" Before Liu Jingsheng could speak, Chen Xu looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said she wanted to go too. Lin Zhiyuan smiled and reassured Chen Xu: "Are you still afraid that I will bully him? It's not like you don't know how hard this kid's fists are. It's very difficult for me to fight him and I can't take advantage at all. It's good if he doesn't bully me." Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Okay, you go and drink tea first! I'll clean up the dishes and stove first, and I'll be there soon." Lin Zhiyuan smiled helplessly, this girl was still afraid of bullying him. My little brother!

When he arrived at Lin Zhiyuan's house, he took out the tea set and prepared to boil water. Liu Jingsheng said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Since you want to go behind Xiao Xu's back, you might as well say it now. I think Xiao Xu will catch up soon." Lin Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, so he rubbed his hands and said : "Actually, what I said at noon was just a joke." Liu Jingsheng said, "It doesn't matter, I didn't take it seriously." Lin Zhiyuan looked into Liu Jingsheng's eyes and asked, "Why was Xiaoxu's reaction so strong? Could it be that You..." Liu Jingsheng said nonchalantly: "I suffered from Asperger's Syndrome when I was a child. After taking medicine and psychological intervention, I got better. Why are you, a grown man, so curious?" Lin Zhiyuan After being silent for a while, he said, "I'm not sure what kind of disease you're talking about. It's the first time I've heard of it." Liu Jingsheng said, "To put it simply, it's a type of autism." Lin Zhiyuan frowned and asked, "That's autism." Is it another name?" Liu Jingsheng shook his head, "No, they are all autism, but there are differences. The biggest difference is that Asperger's syndrome has social intentions and needs, but it is not legal. Xiaoxu was the first one to walk into me The person in my heart, she is willing to listen to my voice, feels sorry for my loneliness, and is willing to comfort my pain. After Xiaoxu came into my life, I became more and more like a normal person. Just now Xiaoxu was afraid that I would be sensitive and afraid that It excites me.”

Lin Zhiyuan was a little jealous, "Xiao Xu is so kind to you!" Liu Jingsheng said sarcastically: "You missed the opportunity yourself. You have known Xiao Xu for a long time, but you failed to take on the responsibility of being a brother. Who can blame you? ?" Lin Zhiyuan was unable to refute this. Indeed, he had known Chen Xu more than ten years ago, but he turned a blind eye and did not care about Chen Xu. If I had known this, if I had been closer to Chen Xuduo at that time, maybe my fate would have been different. Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyuan sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. How could a grown man still act like a mother-in-law? What if?

Lin Zhiyuan ignored Liu Jingsheng's objections and boiled water to make tea. He asked Liu Jingsheng with some confusion: "I think you are [-]% good to Xiaoxu, why are you willing to be an older brother? You two are of the same age, didn't you expect to go further?" Liu Jingsheng said with a smile: "You are indeed a gangster. , I really have a lot to think about. When I met Xiaoxu, she already had a boyfriend, and she loved her boyfriend very much. Do you think I would take advantage of it? I like her, so I can’t let her have it. It's a little embarrassing. I may still be a sick person to this day. I like her, that's all. If you like a flower, you don't have to pick it off, otherwise it will wither quickly, so I won't do that. Even if she grows in someone else's garden, I will only admire it quietly and watch silently. I like to see her full of vitality."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan silently felt something like respect in his heart. He poured tea for Liu Jingsheng and said: "Brother Liu, I was disrespectful before, so I asked Haihan. As Chen Xu's brother, you can do better than me." Good. You have done so many things for her, but I am more concerned about my own needs. I am just lonely and want a relative, unlike you who think about her wholeheartedly."

Liu Jingsheng was not polite, took the tea and took a sip, and said: "I am also very happy that Xiaoxu can have another relative. Today you saw: her biological mother is like that. In fact, I have never understood what you did today. Why do you have to let Xiaoxu break the last trace of fantasy? If you don't do this, she may not be so sad. Although she keeps saying that she doesn't care about these two people, when the ruthlessness is staged in front of her again, she is still hurt again. Her once.”

Lin Zhiyuan also took a sip of tea. He leaned back on the sofa and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing if I break her fantasy, right? Think about it, the more people lack something, the more they want it. Xiaoxu has been growing up She received little care, so she paid special attention to family affection. I have met her grandmother. I remember that more than ten years ago, she came to my house to complain to my mother, saying that Xiaoxu had stolen her money and was extremely vicious. But She is such an old lady. Chen Xu is now taking care of her and spending all his savings to help her decorate her house. She just lacks family affection. Even though her mother has ignored her for so many years, she still lets her That Zhang Huan moved in. Is it really just about paying off debts? Zhang Huan is such an ignorant person, and Xiaoxu let her go. If she is smart and scheming, and treats Xiaoxu falsely, the result will be another What will it be like? Now that Xiaoxu is an adult, I think she shouldn’t live in those unfounded fantasies. It’s better to let her see the reality clearly. I want to drive Zhang Huan away in many ways, but I I used the one that looks the stupidest, just to let Xiaoxu see her mother’s true face.”

Liu Jingsheng was a little melancholy, "But this is still too cruel to Xiaoxu." Lin Zhiyuan disagreed, "You are too merciful to think like this. As the saying goes, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. Xiaoxu finally became independent. He had no worries about food and clothing, but suddenly two more vampires came. Why? If these two people treat Xiaoxu with false words, Xiaoxu will slowly be softened, and he will inevitably be affected by these two for the rest of his life. Personal drag." Liu Jingsheng also had to admit that this was a real problem.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. You didn't need to look to know that it was Chen Xu chasing after you. Lin Zhiyuan opened the door and said, "I told you to give you a door key. If you don't want it, you have to knock on the door every time to come in. How troublesome." Chen Xu said, "After all, this is your house, and it's not appropriate for me to have a key." ." Seeing Liu Jingsheng drinking tea calmly, she finally felt relieved. Liu Jingsheng did not leave immediately. He went to find a book on the bookshelf to read. Lin Zhiyuan was impressed by this. This young man loved reading. Chen Xu looked at the huge bookshelf and suddenly said: "Teacher Lin also had a bookshelf before. There were not so many books, but the books were all very good."

Lin Zhiyuan said: "Come with me, that bookshelf is in my bedroom." Chen Xu immediately followed Lin Zhiyuan's footsteps to the bedroom. When Chen Xu saw the familiar bookshelf, he immediately exclaimed: "That's great!" Chen Xu ran over. It was an old wooden bookshelf with some age. It was a bookcase to be precise, with a glass door on it. Chen Xu ran over, gently opened the cabinet door, and stroked the books with his hands. They were all very old. , Chen Xu looked carefully, there were not many books, maybe only 100. Chen Xu had read most of these books, except for a few ancient ones, which she couldn't understand at the time. But the title of the book was also very familiar. Chen Xu took down a book from the bookshelf and opened it. There were annotations on the book. When Teacher Lin's familiar handwriting appeared in front of Chen Xu, Chen Xu couldn't help but burst into tears. She was afraid that her tears would fall on the book, so she quickly hugged the book to her chest. When Liu Jingsheng stood at the door and saw this scene, his nose felt a little sore. Xiaoxu was a very affectionate person. Maybe Lin Zhiyuan was right to cut off the contact between her and Zhou Fenglan as soon as possible.
