Becoming sworn brothers

  Yi Ge was walking in front, swaying back and forth as if he was about to fall. I hurried over to support him, and Yi Ge looked at me with a smile but didn't say anything.

  I smiled and said to Brother Yi, "Brother Yi, you can't drink so much, it's embarrassing."

  "Damn, you think my combat power is the same as yours? The combined combat power of all of you isn't even a match for mine!" I chuckled after hearing what Yī Gē said, then took advantage of his momentary confusion to grab his neck and with a swift kick, sent him tumbling to the ground. He quickly scrambled to his feet and charged at me. His companions followed suit and joined the fray. Yǔ watched from behind, laughing as he trailed after us.

  When we arrived at the intersection of our motorcycle city, Brother Yi stood still and lit a cigarette. He turned his head to us and said, "How about you guys becoming sworn brothers?" I was stunned for a moment, remembering what Brother Yi had said to me: "No matter what, I won't harm any of you guys." And also the cause and righteousness he had told me about.

  I'm delighted to say "Alright, I have no problem, it's time"

  Bingzi and Kui Ge also chimed in, "Must be, sworn brothers, hurry up"

  Dong Ge and Song Song also chimed in with "Damn it, this is what should have been done a long time ago"

  Then we all went into a small alley, which wasn't that small, just a narrow road. Then Yí Gē and Sōng Sōng bought wine and snacks back. Next, everyone gathered in a circle and knelt down together. Yí Gē said to Yǔ, "Younger sister, today you're our witness." I laughed and hit Yí Gē, saying "Who are you calling younger sister?" Yí Gē laughed loudly twice and said, "Later on, all of you will have to call me older brother!" Then we all despised Yí Gē for a while. This guy's face is so thick-skinned.

  Big Brother picked up the small knife and lightly scratched it, dripping blood into that bottle of white wine. Then we all followed suit, scratching our hands and dripping blood into the wine. Next, we began the next step.

  "Brother Tianyi said, 'I, Xu Tianyi, have lived so big, for the first time to make a vow with you brothers. From now on, wherever I, Xu Tianyi am, you brothers will be there too.' Then Brother Yi swirled the wine bottle and mixed the wine with blood. He downed it in one gulp."

  Following our brothers, they all imitated. When it was my turn, I picked up the wine bottle and put it to my nose, suddenly feeling a wave of nausea. It wasn't because of the white wine itself, but because the smell of blood mixed with the wine made me feel sick to my stomach. At this moment, Brother Di poked me, and I realized I hadn't drunk yet! Then I also took a sip, suddenly feeling like vomiting, but fortunately, I held it back.

  Then came the ritual of knocking heads and clasping hands. Elder Brother shouted, "We don't ask to be born on the same year, month and day, but we do ask to die on the same year, month and day! We'll share good fortune together and face difficulties together, brothers, let's go!"

  We brothers also shouted loudly, "Not seeking to be born on the same year, month and day, but seeking to die on the same year, month and day. Sharing good fortune together, sharing hardships together, brothers, let's go!" Then we gathered around and knocked three loud heads together. Yi Ge is the eldest, Kui Ge and Song Song are second and third, Yang Zi and Dong Ge are fourth and fifth, I am sixth, and Bing Zi is seventh. After tonight, when Kui Ge and Bing Zi leave, I will become the youngest. Damn it, they have to be arranged by birthday, if we were arranged by combat power, I would definitely not be the youngest, I comforted myself in my heart.

  "Hey, Brother Shi, listen up! It's been a while since we've had a good scolding session!" Everyone chimed in unison, "Scumbag Shi!" Brother Shi chuckled and said to Yu, "Little sister, are you satisfied now? If not, go find Scumbag Kun. Who told him to be so useless on his birthday?! Or follow me, and let them call you 'sister-in-law' instead?"

  Yu rushed to Yige, stuck out his tongue and said "I'm willing to call you Yige, our family's Xiao Likan is the best to me". Then Yu shouted "Yige" and I went over to hug Yu, taking advantage of the wine courage to kiss him. Then Yige and the others started teasing.

  Yi Ge burst out laughing and said, "Tonight's exciting, let's finish off the remaining wine!" Then they started drinking in turns. When it was my turn, I couldn't hold back and spat it out. The brothers immediately looked down on me. Yi Ge laughed at me and said, "You're just this capable." The brothers chimed in, "Take advantage of victory and strike until defeated."

  After finishing the wine and doing these things, it was almost dawn. Yi Ge stretched out his hand and pointed to Motocity, saying "Brothers, let's go, go to the internet cafe to play for a while, stay up all night, have fun!" And then he wanted to move forward.

  I reached out and stopped Yi Ge, who looked at me and asked "What's wrong, pretending again?"

  I called Yigong over and said, "Yigong, lend me some money. I'm not going to the all-nighter anymore. You guys go ahead, my head hurts, I need to find a place to sleep."

  Yi Ge looked at me with disdain, then glanced at Yu and smiled, saying "Oh, I understand, okay, go to sleep!" He handed me the money with a smirk. I took the money and cursed at Yi Ge, "Xu Tian Yi, fuck your grandfather, is there anyone as despicable as you? The more you smile, the more despicable you are." Taking advantage of Yi Ge's instability from drinking too much, I pushed him to the ground. Then, I pulled Yu and ran away, while my friends laughed and Yi Ge cursed behind us. I was amused and ignored him, pulling Yu out of Mo Tou Cheng.

  I lit a cigarette on the road, and Yu snatched it away and threw it. I looked at Yu and asked, "What are you doing, wasting tobacco?"

  Staring at me, he said "Your head doesn't hurt anymore, does it? Still drunk, look at how you're drinking, why is your face so red!"

  I laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling good. My face is always red when I drink, it's my dad's genetic problem, not mine!" Yu pinched my arm and said, "You're so poor, look at you drinking so much again next time!"

  I hugged Yu and said, "Wife, I have a headache, want to rest for a while, lend me your shoulder." Then Yu and I sat down on the side of the road.

  Yu leaned against my head and said, "Hmph, see if you can pretend next time. Next time I won't care about you." I ignored Yu's words, looked at him, and then kissed him. Yu pushed me away and said, "There are so many people on the road! You want to lose face, don't you? How can you be so shameless?" I said, "You're the only one who's shameless." After hearing my words, Yu rushed over and kissed me back. I was taken aback, but responded even more fiercely.

  After a while, I stood up, reached out and pulled Yu saying "Come on, wife, go to sleep, you're tired"

  Yu hugged my arm and said "Xiao Li Kun, let's go" I rubbed Yu's nose and said "Wife, got it." Then Yu and I rushed forward together.

  Yuu and I wandered around for a long time before finding an inn called Blue Sky, hidden deep within the commercial city. After inquiring, because Yuu and I didn't have our IDs, we had to pay extra deposit to be allowed in. In my heart, I cursed a thousand times. It's all about money, who cares if you have ID or not, as long as you pay, it's fine.

  The room was opened, and Yu and I took the key and went in.
