take your surname

Chapter 21

Qin Xu has grown up.

In the past, Qin Xu was always obsessed with himself in Qin Yi's eyes, and often pestered him, saying: "Uncle, when will I grow up", "I don't like the adjective cute", "Uncle, I'm a man now , you should praise me for being handsome"...

Qin Yi liked to tease him, but if he didn't say anything, Qin Xu turned aside in frustration, and sat back in Qin Yi's arms after a few minutes.

In fact, Qin Yi knows that the little guy will grow up in a short time, shed his childishness, and become an adult who can take care of himself. This is true, but when he saw Qin Xu with his own eyes, he subdued the evil with his bare hands without fear. As a disciple, without the delicate and pitiful character of the past, Qin Yi suddenly gave birth to an indescribable resistance.

Qin Xu's hair has grown a bit, and his bangs have lost their shape because of the running and fighting just now, and they are messily placed on his forehead, but they just show his delicate and beautiful brow bones. Not deep, completely different from Qin Yi. If Qin Yi's appearance is compared to a thick-colored meticulous painting, then Qin Xu's appearance is like a clear ink painting, with white spaces everywhere like immortals, only a pair of black and bright eyes. When it comes over, it can attract people deeply.He lowered his eyes at the moment, but Qin Yi couldn't forget the look in his eyes just now, which was mixed with many emotions, and he couldn't explain clearly.

The left shoulder of the black woolen coat he was wearing had two scratches, one only scratched the fabric, and the other was slashed, the beige sweater inside was cut open, flesh and blood were clearly visible, and the edges were stained red .

But Qin Xu stood on the side of the road as if nothing had happened, waiting for the police car to come with the crowd.

Qin Yi sighed in his heart, this child is really not afraid of pain, but he is distressed.He stretched out his hand, trying to hold Qin Xu's injured arm, but Qin Xu took a step back like a conditioned reflex, took off his coat, and put it back in Qin Yi's hand.

"no need."

"Don't expose the wound directly to the air—"

"No need," Qin Xu frowned, and said coldly, "Thank you."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly heard 110 and 120 car whistles interlaced not far away.

Qin Xu seemed to think of something suddenly, walked up to the man who was lying on the ground, stepped on his shoulder without saying a word, then bent down and took out a pocket spray bottle from his sleeve. Xu firmly stepped on it.

There was an uproar all around.

Chen Chen came over and took a breath, "Is this a drug?"

Qin Xu nodded.

At this moment, the ambulance personnel and several policemen walked up through the crowd. After simple confirmation, Qin Xu got into the ambulance. Seeing that he was young, the nurse specially asked, "Do you have any family members who want to come together?" ?”

From the corner of his eyes, Qin Xu saw Qin Yi standing there, but what he called out was: "Chen Chen."

Chen Chen hurriedly got in and asked the nurse if it was serious. The nurse said it was serious, and then closed the door of the ambulance to cut off the noise of people outside.

Qin Xu closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about Qin Yi.

Chen Chen sat and watched the nurse disinfect Qin Xu's wound, fearing that he would hurt, so he asked him, "Xiao Xu, why did that man look so familiar to me just now?"

Qin Xu didn't speak, Chen Chen thought for a long time, and then slapped his thigh, which startled the nurse. He apologized repeatedly, then approached Qin Xu, and said, "It's your uncle! I just said why he looks so familiar, he looks so haggard ah."

Hearing this sentence, Qin Xu's eyebrows twitched, "Are you haggard?"

"Yeah, it looks like I'm not as young as before."

The nurse reminded Qin Xu: "You have lost so much blood, don't talk."

Chen Chen nodded quickly and pursed his lips.

When Qin Xu was carried to the emergency room and the bandaging and sutures were finished, Chen Chen had already fallen asleep next to him. Qin Xu had a plaster cast on his right arm and a stack of report cards in his left hand. When he got up, he dropped his coat on the floor and had to pick it up At that time, the report card was scattered all over the floor again.Chen Chen hadn't woken up yet, and Qin Xu didn't want to disturb him, so he knelt down and picked them up one by one, and one of them floated to the door. Just as Qin Xu was about to step forward, a person appeared at the door.

The man bent down to pick up the fluffy report card, and carefully read the text on it.

"Don't look!" Qin Xu snatched the report back.

The two stood still with a distance of one meter, and Qin Xu heard his heartbeat deafening in the quiet corridor.

After a long silence, Qin Yi spoke, his voice was soft and gentle: "Does it hurt?"

Qin Xu's tears were about to burst out of his eyes, but he held back, took a deep breath, and said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Do you hate me that much?"

Qin Yi's coat was put on his arm, and he picked it up and put it on Qin Xu's thin shoulders, holding the collar with both hands and pressing it against Qin Xu's chest, and fastened the first button, Qin Xu wanted to go Shrinking back, he was afraid that Qin Yi would hear his thundering heartbeat.

That's too embarrassing, he can't always be like an abandoned puppy, sitting on the wall and crying, waiting to be picked up and brought home.

He struggled, trying to shake off the shackles of Qin Yi's coat, but was hugged by Qin Yi. Qin Yi pressed the back of his head, avoided his plastered arm, and held him in his arms.

"I'm back on time, I didn't lie to you."

"I never promised you this promise." Qin Xu suppressed all emotions and said calmly, "You promised before that you would never abandon me."

"Little Xu—"

Qin Xu pushed Qin Yi away with all his strength, "It's okay, I'm used to this kind of thing, I don't hate you, there's nothing to hate, uncle, you can just come back this time to spend the New Year with grandpa, he misses you very much .”

Qin Yi should be angry, he should tell everything about three years ago, but he looked at Qin Xu and couldn't say a word.

Because he heard Qin Xu say: "Grandpa is very good to me. He has taken good care of me for the past three years. Now he is in poor health and can't stand stimulation. So if you want to go back to the old house, don't say anything hurtful."

Qin Yi was dumb, his eyes were deep, "Is he treating you well?"

"Yeah, he is very kind to me, maybe this is the intergenerational relationship, I feel the warmth of the family again, and I have been very happy in the past three years," Qin Xu flipped through the report card in his hand, and said casually: " Oh, by the way, grandpa took me to the planetarium."

These words hurt Qin Yi deeply, and he said angrily: "I said I didn't want to abandon you, I have my reasons, and I never thought of abandoning you."

"Maybe, so what? Uncle, I'm very happy when you come back, but we can't be like before. I used to be too ignorant and always pestered you. Now I won't."

Qin Xu blurted out the words as if he had hit his stomach, and then regretted after speaking. Qin Yi stood there, looking a little lost.

Obviously, it was Qin Yi who left without an explanation at the beginning, seeing how sad Qin Yi's eyes are at this moment, exactly the same as when he was at his bedside three years ago.

At this time, Chen Chen woke up from the dream, rubbed his eyes, and found Qin Xu standing at the door, and hurried up, "Oh my god, I fell asleep, eh, Xiao Xu, you finished your plaster cast? Oh, isn't this—— "

Qin Xu introduced it solemnly, "This is my uncle, uncle, and this is my high school classmate, Chen Chen."

It was not easy for Chen Chen to shout after Qin Xu, but although Qin Yi looked haggard, he was definitely not of the "uncle" generation, so he could only respectfully say, "Hello."

Qin Yi nodded, "Hello, it's late, I'll ask the driver to take you home."

Chen Chen waved his hand, "No, no, I'll just take a taxi."

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone and said in surprise: "I'll go, twelve missed calls, I turned off my mobile phone when I was listening to the concert just now, my mother should be anxious, then Xiao Xu... Since your uncle is here, I'll go first."

Qin Xu stopped him subconsciously, but he was afraid of showing timidity in front of Qin Yi, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

After Chen Chen left, two more policemen came and asked Qin Xu to make a statement.

Qin Yi was sitting on a bench in the corridor, and heard voices coming from the ward from time to time.

He was really tired this day, and he was still dealing with work in country A in the morning. He went from car to plane to car all the way for nine hours without stopping for a moment. At this time, accompanied by the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, he felt a little calm. Pressing the brow bone, he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

"coat."

Suddenly someone spoke, Qin Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and all the cruel unhappiness turned into tenderness the moment he looked at Qin Xu.

Qin Xu looked away and said unnaturally: "You can wear it yourself." Then he let go and threw the coat on Qin Yi's lap.

Qin Xu turned around and went into the ward to take his coat. He couldn't put it on with one hand, and he was a little at a loss. Qin Yi walked over and took his tattered woolen coat from behind, put it on his shoulders, and put his coat on his shoulders. The scarf was untied and wrapped around Qin Xu's neck.

They stood very close, their breaths were entangled, and the steam was steaming and circling, which made Qin Xu's eyes red. He couldn't hold back anymore, and buried his face in the scarf and shed two streams of tears.

Fortunately, Qin Yi didn't see it, because he was contacting the driver at the moment.Half a minute later, Qin Yi hung up the phone, turned around and reached out to Qin Xu, "Come on, the driver is at the door."

Qin Xu didn't reach out, and walked straight to the door with his head down.

Qin Xu's first words after getting into the car were: "Uncle Huang, I'm going back to the old house."

Qin Yi had no choice but to sit next to him slowly.

The atmosphere was very tense, the driver raised the topic several times but failed to arouse the interest of the two people in the back seat, so he had to shut up.

After sending Qin Xu away, Qin Yi asked the driver to send him to Yuewan.

He didn't think about whether that house could live in tonight, he just couldn't wait to see that house, so as not to let him have an illusion: he and Qin Xu never had a tender time.

He got out of the car and the driver helped him unload the luggage.

He found the key and opened the door of the villa. The door lock slammed softly, and it was still a familiar sound.

Although the light was not turned on, there was no musty smell. Qin Yi turned on the main light at hand, and it suddenly lit up from the living room to the second floor. Qin Yi was shocked and thought he was hallucinating.

This place is surprisingly clean, there is no dust on the ground, except that there is no smoke, the rest of the layout is exactly the same as when he left.

His heartbeat accelerated again, and there was something guiding him in the dark, and he walked quickly to the second floor, towards the room with a whole piece of French windows.

As soon as the light was turned on, Qin Yi's eyes became a little hot.

The beds were neatly made, the quilts were well folded, and there were several framed pictures on the bedside table.

He came back secretly, or rather, never left.
