Chapter 435 Disease

Zheng Xun and Zheng Lin had a hot pot meal together. The hot pot restaurant was doing very well and was full of customers.

Fortunately, they were lucky. As soon as they arrived at the store, there was an empty table.

Zheng Lin asked Zheng Xun to order it himself. He wanted to go out and make a phone call. Zheng Xun took the menu, ticked all the boxes on it, and sat down to wait for the food to be served.

Zheng Lin was outside, and his back could be seen through the transparent window. Zheng Xun looked at himself reflected in the glass window and suddenly remembered something.

He stretched his arms behind him and got into his hat.

There was a note inside.

Zheng Xun glanced at Zheng Lin outside the window, who was still talking on the phone with his back to him.

He crushed the note flat and there was a phone number on it.

This should be Yunjing's mobile phone number. The other party has not given up talking to him yet and wants to tell him the "important thing" he mentioned.

Zheng Xun memorized the number in his mind, tore up the note and threw it into the trash can under the table.

He took out his mobile phone and saved the number in his address book.

When he opened the address book, Zheng Xun was surprised to find that it was blank.

Something is wrong.

Although he is too lazy to socialize at the company, he doesn't have a phone number at all.

Zheng Xun immediately opened the chat software and clicked on a colleague's chat page.

He hit a 1 and sent.

A red exclamation point popped up.

The other party deleted him at some point.

This is very strange.

Zheng Xun tried another person, this time he directly clicked on the chat interface with his supervisor.

The previous article still stuck with the supervisor asking him to stay for a meeting at night.

Zheng Xun quickly edited a message of several hundred words and scolded his supervisor from head to toe.

send.

The familiar red exclamation mark appears again.

Well, it looks like he doesn't have a single friend now.

This is weird.

No matter how unpopular he is, not everyone will delete him.

He clicked on the friends page, but it was empty.

Okay, he was the one who deleted it.

Zheng Xun was sure that he would not do such a thing.

As for who has the opportunity to delete all his friends... the answer is obvious.

He clicked back to the homepage, and the chat history with Zheng Lin was pinned to the top.

This was set up by Zheng Xun himself. Zheng Lin was his only relative and deserved a top spot.

They chat every day, and the last time was yesterday, all his messages were sent smoothly.

Zheng Xun clicked on the input box, thought for a while, and then sent a word.

:elder brother.

Zheng Lin, who was on the phone, heard the message tone and took the phone away from his ear.

He lowered his head and typed a quick sentence.

: If you are hungry, eat first without waiting for me.

Only Zheng Lin's messages can be sent normally.

Zheng Xun suddenly had a headache.

The waiter brought the hot pot bottom and filled the table with hot dishes.

Zheng Xun held the chopsticks in one hand and did not move them for a long time.

Can't figure it out.

He didn't understand why Zheng Lin did this.

In Zheng Xun's memory, Zheng Lin has always been a model brother.

He had excellent grades and good character since childhood, and was quite popular in school.

After their parents passed away, Zheng Lin took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother. The age difference between their brothers is a bit big. Zheng Lin always treats him as a child. Even after he goes to college, he still calls and sends messages every day.

One time, Zheng Xun went out with his teacher for research. He was in a hurry when he set off and did not have time to talk to Zheng Lin. Zheng Lin called four or five times, but he didn't hear him.

After he finished his work, he saw the call record on his mobile phone. He felt excited and quickly called his brother.

It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and Zheng Lin was still not asleep. Zheng Xun panicked and explained to Zheng Lin.

Zheng Lin was silent for a long time, so long that Zheng Xun wondered if he had fallen asleep, before he responded, his voice full of exhaustion.

"Zheng Xun, you must tell me in advance where you are going next time."

Zheng Lin flew to the city where Zheng Xun was investigating the next day and had a meal with him. When Zheng Xun's classmates heard about this incident, they all felt that his brother was exaggerating.

"You're an adult...well, you're not yet an adult, but you're already in college, right? My parents didn't care about me when I was eleven or twelve years old. Do they still treat you as a child who can't take care of himself? ?”

Zheng Xun was not angry when his classmates said this, and changed the subject with a smile.

"That's because my brother cares about me. Let's go and go out for a walk."

Zheng Xun and several classmates walked out of the seminar room arm in arm. When they entered the dark corridor, the smile on his lips suddenly disappeared.

Their family's situation is unique.

Zheng Lin is a very planning person. He has a strong desire to control his own life and cannot tolerate any planned things going off the rails.

This character trait emerged in him at an early age. He will live at his own pace, and any existence that disrupts his rhythm will be eliminated by him.

His parents died in a plane crash, which was a serious derailment for Zheng Lin.

He knows that one person cannot control everything, but at the very least, he must firmly control the people and things he cares about.

If you are not careful, an accident may occur, resulting in irreparable and unacceptable consequences.

Zheng Lin knew this very well. The pain of loss, no matter how many years passes, always comes back with a nightmare.

Zheng Xun knew his brother's pain points and could understand his various behaviors.

This is a kind of pathology, Zheng Xun understands it.

When Zheng Lin was most seriously ill, he would stare at Zheng Xun who was doing his own thing for a long time, and suddenly say - Zheng Xun, sometimes I really want to kill you.

Zheng Xun, who heard this unexpectedly, raised his head in surprise. At this time, Zheng Lin acted as if nothing had happened, and added another sentence as if it was a joke - lest you make me angry all day long, and my life span will be shortened by ten years. .

Zheng Xun had heard similar words once or twice, but no one could tell whether they were true or false.

Zheng Xun would not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt that his brother was very pitiful. He looked glamorous but actually lived a very difficult life.

After their parents left, the brothers only had each other. Zheng Lin paid a lot to take care of Zheng Xun. Zheng Xun could not just enjoy the care Zheng Lin gave him, and he could not just ask for it.

So Zheng Xun was willing to make concessions.

But now... Zheng Lin obviously wants to cut off all social interactions with him and let him live only under his own eyes.

First, they asked him to move, then persuaded him to take the postgraduate entrance examination at University A, and cut off all his interpersonal relationships...

This is a bit over the line.

Zheng Xun planned to find a suitable time to discuss this matter with Zheng Lin.

He can obey Zheng Lin's arrangements appropriately, but there must be limits to everything.

He can give in, but not blindly.

Zheng Xun was thinking about what tone to use to tell his brother, when a man stood next to his table.

Zheng Xun looked up and saw a young man.

He looks average and has no memorable points, but his temperament is outstanding.

"Is it Zheng Xun?" The other party smiled and took the initiative to say hello.

He actually knew himself.

But Zheng Xun had no impression of him.

"I met you in Professor Zheng's class during the day. We met at a school event before, but you may have forgotten."

Zheng Xun nodded hesitantly. He was somewhat impressed, but he still couldn't remember the other person's name.

"Then let me introduce myself again. My name is Xiao Jun. I am studying for a Ph.D. in University A."
