Chapter 55
Chapter 55
He dreamed again.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the Qin family's mansion in a daze, still at the age when he was young and didn't know the world.He stood alone and barefoot outside the door, hesitated for a while, and finally opened a narrow door quietly, and looked inside timidly.
There was a beautiful crib inside, with layers of veils hanging down from the bed to the floor.The fat nanny held the child with black eyes like ink in her arms, and turned back and forth in the room, humming softly to lull him to sleep as she turned.
Qin Haiye and his wife were both in the room, discussing something with the man in a white coat.
......very nice.
Chu Ci looked at the world inside without blinking, moved his fingers, and finally closed the door slowly.
Don't let them see it, they will lose their temper.
He turned around quietly, but bumped into another person suddenly, and was immediately startled: "Chu... Aunt Chu..."
The woman called Aunt Chu was thin and slender, and when she pressed her lips tightly, she even revealed a chilling seriousness.She looked at the child with her head bowed in front of her, and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"
The back of the child's hands was behind his back, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth, and finally slowly stretched out his hands from behind, palms facing upwards.
"I want to... see my brother."
He knew that this answer must be punished.
Sure enough, the slender teaching stick slapped his palm mercilessly in the next second, hitting his white and tender palm with red marks that swelled up quickly.He gasped, bit his lip forcibly, and held back his silence.
Every time I smoke, it is followed by the lesson of raising my voice.
"Don't go near the young master's room, didn't I tell you?"
"Why never remember to fight!"
"Never let me hear the word brother from your mouth again!"
After ten lashes, she withdrew the pointer, looked from top to bottom at the child whose face was wrinkled in pain, her eyes softened a little, and she sighed slightly.
She took out a plain striped handkerchief from her pocket, and covered the child's hand completely, covering the wounded marks.
"If people see it again, it will be more than this many."
The child held the handkerchief in his hand in a daze, without saying a word.
In this family, Aunt Chu is the only one who doesn't say the word "bastard" about him.
"No one in the world is qualified to be nice to you except your biological parents." Aunt Chu hesitated for a while, and finally put her hand on the child's head and rubbed it gently, "Don't blame anyone else, just blame your life it's not good."
"After all, they are not your biological parents, how can they worry about you?"
"Only biological parents—"
biological parents.
This is the only piece of driftwood on the vast sea.
He sighed deeply, only then realized that it was just another dream of returning to his childhood.The curtains were drawn tightly, the room was very dark, and Chu Ci couldn't tell the color of the sky. Picking up the mobile phone on the table and looking at it, he realized that it was three o'clock in the morning.
But he couldn't sleep anymore.
The text message received last night on the phone is still open, it is from Qin Lu.
[In any case, I must go with my brother. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, my brother will wait for me under the hotel.
Don't worry, I'm here. 】
At the bottom of the text message is a big smiley face symbol.
Chu Ci lay on the bed, tossed and turned for half a day, and finally sat up.He stood in front of the closet, took out all the clothes he had brought, and spread them all over the bed.It wasn't until after seeing these that he regretted that he didn't ask for leave two days ago to go out and buy a new set.Now they are all worn out, so I can only bite the bullet and pick a few from them.
What kind of clothes should I wear?Black or white?Mature or youthful?
Chu Ci rested his chin and thought for a long time, and subconsciously wanted to call Qin Lu for help.It wasn't until the phone rang three times that he realized it was four o'clock in the morning and hung up the phone in a hurry.
But the child's call back rang in the next second, and the voice was full of vitality: "Brother!"
The bed was covered with clothes, so Chu Ci simply sat on the floor, rubbing the space between his brows, "I can't sleep anymore. What about you, why are you awake?"
Qin Lu smiled softly, "I knew I would not be able to sleep, so I was waiting for my call."
He knew better than anyone else what Chu Ci's almost crazy obsession with his family was, so he didn't ask him why he woke up so early, and just told him not to forget to eat breakfast later.Chu Ci told the child about the clothes, Qin Lu thought about it for a long time, and then said seriously: "Brother, I really want to know when is the best time to look good?"
"Yeah." Chu Ci gripped the phone a little tighter.
Qin Luzheng said: "In my eyes, it looks best without clothes."
"... get down to business!"
"Okay, okay," Qin Lu had no choice but to take back this completely sincere answer, and muttered aggrievedly, "Brother, turn on the video, and I will choose—"
The final result of the discussion between the two was the safest white casual shirt and light-colored jeans. The hem of the clothes was loosely tucked into the waist, and the whole person looked clean and youthful.After hanging up the phone, Chu Ci ironed the clothes carefully, and then put on the whole set. He stood in front of the mirror and hesitated for a long time, before he turned his head again and dunked a baseball on his head cap.
For these four hours, it seemed that every minute and every second had been artificially extended countless times.Chu Ci walked around the room many times, finally waited until eight o'clock, and finally couldn't help but went downstairs, and entered a shopping mall that had just opened.He walked around the mall, obviously wanting to buy something as a gift for the first meeting, but after looking around, he felt that nothing was suitable.
When Qin Lu honked the car horn at the door, every pore of Chu Ci's body showed anxiety. After sitting in the passenger seat, he turned his head to him: "What should I do, I don't know what to buy?"
"I've prepared some," Qin Lu comforted, "I've prepared the best Dahongpao for my uncle, and my aunt's silk scarf. In case there are other family members we don't know about, I also bought toys, cigarettes and alcohol, Should be enough."
The anxiety in Chu Ci's heart eased a little, but he was still uneasy: "If they don't like it..."
The way he was pulling the seat belt on the seat and thinking nervously made Qin Lu's eyes melt into water, and then he grabbed his head without saying a word, and gave him a big hug.
Chu Ci pushed him away, really irritable: "I put on moisturizing lipstick!"
Why does this kid start chewing at the slightest disagreement!
"I've tasted it," Qin Lu licked the corner of his mouth, pondered for a while and then nodded seriously, "It tastes like mango."
"..." Chu Ci didn't want to speak anymore.
Even putting on the lipstick that he never put on his lips without reminding him, Qin Lu had a clearer understanding of how much this person in front of him valued this matter.Seeing Chu Ci's worry about gains and losses, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, and stretched out his hand again, smoothing his hair like a kitten.
"Don't worry," he said softly, "Brother is so nice, they will all like you very much."
Chu Ci held the seat belt tightly, and said after a long time: "Really?"
There was a smile in Qin Lu's eyes, and he hugged his head again and gave him a sweet tweet with mango.After the kiss, when his forehead was pressed against his forehead, Qin Lu replied softly: "Well, really, just look at me."
Who doesn't like you?
You deserve all the happiness in this world.
----------
The couple at the police station had been waiting a long time.As soon as Chuci stepped into the door, they stood up abruptly and saw the young man walking in. The eyes of the middle-aged beautiful woman were already full of tears, falling down like beads with a broken thread : "Baby...my baby..."
She rushed over all of a sudden, hugged Chu Ci tightly into her arms, and cried loudly.
"My child! Mom, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Chu Ci was stiff for a long time before slowly going back to hug her.The body of the tentacle was warm and fragrant, with the reassuring smell unique to the mother, but it was very strange to Chuci.He felt the liquid soaking the clothes on his shoulders, and even felt a little helpless.
The middle-aged man on the side also burst into tears, crying for a long time.Qin Lu followed closely behind Chu Ci, looking at the couple coldly.Both of them were well dressed, so it can be seen that the living conditions have always been good, especially the woman, her eyebrows and eyes are two or three points similar to Chu Ci, and she also has a pair of clear and slightly upturned peach blossom eyes.It's just that the color of the eyes is dark brown two or three degrees darker than Chuci's pupils. Because of the excellent maintenance, the skin is still fair and flawless, and the long brown curly hair hangs down from the ears. She looks only 35 or [-] years old.
It wasn't until the crying was over that the couple let go of Chu Ci, sat down and chatted carefully.According to them, Chu Ci was taken away by a servant bribed by their enemies within a few months, and there was no trace after that.There was no conspicuous birthmark and no characteristics, so they searched for so many years without finding any clues, and even thought their child had passed away.
The man's name is Bai Xiude, and now he runs a small office supplies company, and he barely stepped into the upper class.He held Chu Ci's hand tightly, and promised: "What Dad owes you for so many years, I will definitely make it up for you later! If you want anything, just tell Dad, even if you want a plane, Dad will buy it for you too!"
He spoke with great pride, but the middle-aged beautiful woman couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The temperament around her is intellectual and elegant. She loosely lifted her curly hair to the other shoulder, revealing a slender and fair neck like a swan. She took Chu Ci's hand and looked at it again and again, and then her eyes were silent. She shed tears and cried: "It looks like me..."
After this sentence, I couldn't help crying again.
Bai Xiude coaxed his wife in a good voice, and took a tissue to wipe her tears. While wiping, he persuaded: "Isn't this already found? On the day of great joy, don't cry anymore, don't take your child scared!"
Chu Ci never said a word from the beginning to the end, until then, he took out a tissue and helped Mrs. Bai wipe away the tears.He hesitated for a long time under the expectant eyes of the two, and then said softly: "You...don't cry."
There is no title.
Mrs. Bai's face clearly showed a bit of disappointment, but she hid it for a moment, and touched his head with tears in her eyes: "Okay, mom won't cry, huh?"
Chu Ci subconsciously wanted to dodge her head, but forcibly restrained her impulse and let them caress obediently.
This kind of temperature and smell is really the first time in two lifetimes.
Bai Xiude and his wife also have a daughter named Bai Anjun, who is now 16 years old, but they didn't bring them because they were in school.
"There will always be a chance to see you in the future," he said, holding Chuci's hand, "When you come home this Saturday, Junjun has always wanted to see you. You don't know, she wants to have an older brother even in her dreams." .”
He seemed to realize that he was wrong, and smiled embarrassingly: "Junjun was born after us, so I don't know much about the loss of my brother, and I always thought that I was an only child——"
"It's okay," Chu Ci interrupted him with lowered eyes, then raised his head and smiled at them.
"It doesn't matter if you can't accept it for a while. After all, I haven't lived with her all the time. Suddenly a stranger comes. It's understandable for her to feel inconvenient."
"This..." Bai Xiude smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm afraid you will feel inconvenient when you see her."
The four of them had a meal together and made an appointment to meet at home on Saturday, so Chu Ci still followed Qin Lu back home.As soon as he got into the car, he couldn't help but beat his head regretfully, and then buried his face in his palms, almost crying.
Qin Lu was startled by him, quickly removed his hand from the handbrake, turned to hold him in his arms, patted his back and coaxed, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"I can't yell," the man in the arms choked up with red eyes, "I can't yell, what should I do? Xiao Lu? They - if they are unhappy or don't like me because of this -"
He was trembling uncontrollably in a panic, and he couldn't imagine that the parents he met for the first time left a bad impression on him because of himself.This was obviously the day he had been looking forward to for two whole lives, but it was ruined because of such a mistake!
Qin Lu's heart suddenly twitched. This is the person he has been guarding carefully. He doesn't even have the heart to let this person suffer. When has he ever seen this person with such a humble attitude?
Only the topic of family is the only weakness he has exposed besides the hard shell.It's like the most vulnerable abdomen of a hedgehog. When it touches it, it can be fatal with one blow.
Qin Lu couldn't help hugging him even tighter, and kissed the tears of the person in his arms bit by bit, patting his back and comforting him softly like coaxing a child.
"How come? Brother is the best, they all like you, and no one will be angry for such a reason."
He coaxed him for a long time, but the person in his arms was still trembling slightly. Qin Lu had to use his trump card to divert his attention: "Brother——Actually, I didn't sleep last night."
In the next second, Chu Ci jerked his head out of his arms, and asked in a nasal voice, "You're not sleeping yet!"
Qin Lu: "..."
"How can you not sleep!" Chu Ci couldn't care less about being sad, and was so angry with this brat for a moment, he burst into anger, "Do you know how much it hurts your body? What happens to your body if you don't rest well?" Are you okay? You really... get out of the car!"
Angrily, he opened the car door, walked to the driver's seat, stuffed the child into the passenger seat, unquestionably took a blindfold from the back seat, and forced it on his face.
"Close your eyes! Sleep! Right now!"
Qin Lu pushed up the blindfold a little, looked at his appearance, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Chu Ci was still furious because he didn't take good care of his body, and his mood was thrown away in an instant, and he began to worry about Qin Lu, "How many times have I told you, don't stay up late Don't stay up late, this is good, you actually dare to stay up all night!"
Qin Lu smiled and asked, "Brother, do you know about puffer fish?"
"What's wrong with the puffer fish?" Chu Ci frowned, and then became nervous, "You ate it? If it's not handled properly, it's poisonous. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"
"No," the child suddenly came forward, gave him a kiss, then bit the tip of his nose affectionately, and said with a smile, "I want to say, my brother looks like a puffer fish now."
Or just a fugu daughter-in-law who is always worrying endlessly.
Chu Ci remained silent for a while, and then slapped the brat on the head, but he couldn't bear to use such force, he couldn't even slap half a speck of dust.
"Go to sleep and stop talking!"
----------
It wasn't until seeing Bai Anjun with his own eyes on Saturday that Chu Ci knew exactly what Bai Xiude meant by "don't be startled by her".When he was led into the house, the little girl with very strict family rules was waiting at the gate. Chu Ci, however, covered his mouth for an instant, screamed "Ah", then turned his head and ran away.
Chu Ci who is changing shoes: ...
He couldn't help touching his face in surprise, wondering inexplicably, is his appearance so scary?
It shouldn't be, anyway, he is also in the entertainment industry relying on this face...
Bai Xiude and his wife seemed to have been prepared for a long time, they looked at each other helplessly, and then hurriedly moved Chu Ci in, "Xiao Ci, come in quickly, don't talk to that girl. She will be fine in a while."
Their home is in a high-end villa complex with a small garden.The garden is full of white roses, and the fountain sprays out a long string of crystal water droplets. When the wind blows, it is full of quiet floral fragrance.
There were also white roses in the vase on the table. When Bai Xiude saw Chu Ci's gaze on the flowers, he explained with a smile: "That girl, Jun Jun, suddenly fell in love with this kind of flowers. So she must be making a fuss, Let us turn everything in our house into white roses, and I don’t know what to care about.”
His words were filled with the little pride of being a father that couldn't be concealed. Chu Ci looked away, thoughtfully, and smiled lightly after a long while: "It just so happens that this is what I like the most."
In fact, it's not a preference, it's just that the fans of Chuci insisted that only the pure and flawless white roses are worthy of their Cibao, so they gradually took the white roses as one of the important elements of the support banners, and finally even developed it for him. representative logo.Because it looks very compatible with Jiang Xie's incomparable middle school black skull, fans of word writing eat these two logos as candy, fan pictures are produced outward, and the skulls are everywhere on Weibo drawing with white rose.
"Xiaoci, drink tea." Madam Bai handed him the teacup.
Chu Ci thanked him, and just after taking a sip, he felt the scorching eyes from the corner resting on him for a long time.He hesitated for a while, before he turned his head to look, and immediately met the girl's eyes.
Bai Anjun trembled all over, and then closed the door again with a slam, and then there were several shouts from across the door.
Chu Ci: ...
He hesitantly turned his head to look at the Bai Xiude couple with unclear expressions, and for the first time began to wonder if he was really not likable at all.
"It's okay," Mrs. Bai said with a smile, "Leave her alone. Is there anything you like to eat in Xiaoci? Mom will cook for you, and let you have a good taste of mom's cooking."
There was nothing wrong with the left and right, so Chu Ci simply stood up and said, "I'll help you too."
Madam Bai was surprised: "You know how to cook?"
Boys of this age are also celebrities, and there are indeed very few who can cook.She looked at Chu Ci with pity, and before she could open her mouth to speak, Bai Anjun, who had been eavesdropping through the door, had rushed out of the bedroom in three steps at a time.
"How can you let him cook!" She jumped up and down a few times filled with righteous indignation, angrily accusing, "Mom, you are really, really too much!"
Chu Ci was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, so he had to explain: "I often do it at home..."
"That won't work either!" Bai Anjun became even more excited, "His hands are not used for cooking! My Ci Bao's hands are clearly used for dancing, playing guitar and acting. Look at his hands——"
She held up Chu Ci's hands who were still in shock, "Look at such beautiful hands, how can you let them get stained with oily smoke! Look at these knuckles, look at this skin, look at this round body Nails should be used to lick the screen, you don’t know how many screens I broke by licking—”
Mrs. Bai: ...
Bai Xiude: ...
Chu Ci: ...
Bai Anjun's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he looked at his parents timidly, lowered his voice and asked, "I...was exposed?"
Looking at the pained eyes of her parents, she groaned suddenly and buried her face in her palms.
It's really embarrassing to be a fan of brains!
The author has something to say: Qin Lu: Do you know how to divert Chu Ci's attention?
Author: How to transfer?
Qin Lu: (Sign of pride) Mention me in front of him, keep him and forget everything else!
