Walking out of the bar, Chen Xiaokai took a long breath and lit a cigarette. Although he promised Wang Zhaoxue that he would not smoke anymore, Chen Xiaokai was in a bad mood. The taste of cocoa might alleviate his bad mood.
They were ready to take a taxi home. Because Chen Xiaokai had asked Jiang Lei and Han Wei to look at the houses, they didn't go home with Chen Xiaokai and the others. Instead, they took another taxi and left. When they left, Chen Xiaokai reminded them to come back tomorrow. Jiang Lei and Han Wei patted Chen Xiaokai's shoulder to reassure him. Therefore, they split up. Jiang Lei and Han Wei went somewhere to look at the houses while the rest went back to their rented houses to rest. Chen Xiaokai opened the door. The room was still dark, and the photos of the four of them were still hanging quietly on the wall.
Chen Xiaokai went to the bathroom and washed his face. He took a towel to wipe the water off his face. He leaned on the sink and breathed slowly to calm himself down. Two minutes later, Chen Xiaokai smiled and said to himself,"It seems that I still can't completely hide this feeling. If there's a chance in the future, I must go and see Ah Bin's parents and tell them about it.”
Chen Xiaokai turned around and leaned against the pool. He thought," Is it really as simple as I think? Maybe their families already know. If they really know, what should I do? Even if they didn't know, would they be able to take the blow if I told them? Perhaps I should continue to hide it. No, I can't. They have the right to know what happened to their son. Tell them. I'll accept it even if I have to pay with my life.
Just as Chen Xiaokai was about to walk out of the bathroom, the cell phone in front of the photos on the wall rang. After the four people died, their belongings were only left with four cell phones and the clothes they were wearing. Chen Xiaokai took all these things back and put a shelf in front of the four people's photos to display their belongings. He also bought an incense burner and burned incense for the four people every day. The reason why he only bought one incense burner was because from the time they entered the underworld until the four people died. As long as they could share something, they would never buy a second item. Of course, a small part of it was to save money, because Chen Xiaokai was not as famous as he was now, but most of it was because everyone thought that since they were brothers, there should be no restrictions. Therefore, Chen Xiaokai hoped that the four of them would still be the best brothers.
Chen Xiaokai walked over slowly. Every step was heavy because he knew that this call must be from their parents. Chen Xiaokai didn't know whose phone was ringing because their ringtones were the same. It was Sun Bin's suggestion. Hearing the familiar ringtone, Chen Xiaokai took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Ah Sheng. Tomorrow will be Qingming Festival. Come back early.”A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Yang Sheng's mother.
Chen Xiaokai wanted to tell her directly on the phone, but he was afraid that this fragile woman couldn't accept it. As mentioned before, Yang Sheng's father had passed away many years ago, and it was his mother who brought up Yang Sheng alone. If he told her now, she would definitely not be able to bear the blow, so Chen Xiaokai decided to find an opportunity to tell her. Now, he would make up a lie to deceive her for a while. Chen Xiaokai adjusted his mentality and said,"Auntie, Yang Sheng went out and didn't bring his phone. If there's anything, I can pass it to him.”
"And you are?"
"I'm Yang Sheng's classmate. I rented this house with him.”
"Oh! Please tell him to come back tomorrow."”
"Got it, Auntie. I'll pass the message.”
"Okay, then, goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye, Auntie."
Chen Xiaokai hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. He said to Wang Cheng and the others who were fighting with the sports equipment,"If there's another call later, you guys can answer it. I'm going to shower and sleep.”
Everyone knew Chen Xiaokai's current mood, so they all let him rest early. Chen Xiaokai walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower head. He let the water droplets hit his head, through his hair, across his cheeks, and all the way from his chin to the ground. Of course, it was mixed with Chen Xiaokai's tears. Chen Xiaokai couldn't forgive himself. Although he forced himself to forget this matter in front of his brothers, Chen Xiaokai usually cried secretly when he was alone.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Chen Xiaokai walked into the room and lay on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. After an unknown period of time, it became very dark in front of him. Chen Xiaokai stood in the darkness. Suddenly, Chen Xiaokai heard the sound of weapons colliding with people's roars. Chen Xiaokai turned around and saw countless ferocious and bloodthirsty people in a circle. There were four people in the middle. It was none other than Sun Bin, Yang Sheng, Xie Tiancheng, and Jiang Zhongtian. Countless machetes fell on the four of them without any emotion. In an instant, there were countless wounds on their bodies. Blood dripped from the corners of their clothes and dyed the entire ground red. Chen Xiaokai ran crazily towards them with tears, but every step he took seemed to distance him from them. Chen Xiaokai roared and ran forward, but it seemed like he would never reach them. Therefore, Chen Xiaokai was tired. He did not have the strength to run anymore. He squatted on the ground and felt his incompetence. He used his fist to hit the ground hard. His face was full of tears. At this time, a voice came from Chen Xiaokai's ear.
"You killed us all because of you.”
Chen Xiaokai turned his head and saw Sun Bin covered in blood. He stood on Chen Xiaokai's left and looked at him expressionlessly, but his eyes revealed a strong hatred. Chen Xiaokai looked at Sun Bin, but before he could speak, three voices came from behind Chen Xiaokai.
"It's you. You're the one who killed us. You're the real murderer.”
"Yes, you are the murderer."
"You're the murderer. You're the one who killed us.”
Chen Xiaokai turned his head and saw Yang Sheng, Xie Tiancheng, and Jiang Zhongtian staring at him fiercely. They kept muttering,""It was you who killed us. It was you. You are the real murderer.”
Chen Xiaokai held his head and spun around in the same place. The four voices were so distant that Chen Xiaokai was about to go crazy. Chen Xiaokai felt that his head was about to explode.
"Ah!" Chen Xiaokai woke up from his dream with a loud roar. He was sweating profusely. Wang Cheng and the others beside him were frightened. They sat up and asked,"What's wrong, Brother Kai?"
Chen Xiaokai trembled and said," I dreamed of Ah Bin and the others. They were covered in blood and stood in front of me. I killed them. I killed them."”Chen Xiaokai began to cry. Everyone looked at Chen Xiaokai and felt uncomfortable. Wang Cheng patted Chen Xiaokai's back and said,"Don't let Chen Si's thoughts run wild. Go to sleep. You just had a nightmare, an impossible nightmare.”
Under the persuasion of the crowd, Chen Xiaokai felt a trace of warmth and fell back on the pillow. This time, he slept until dawn.
At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Xiaokai got up early and walked to the photos of the four people. He said,"Ah Bin, Ah Li, Brother Dong, Ah Sheng, I'm going to see you today. I hope you won't blame me for what happened back then. I didn't know that such a thing would happen.”
