take your surname

Chapter 36

Meng Xinhe was also stunned when he heard this, but he didn't recognize Qin Xu, "Yes, I am, you are—"

The "Qin Xu" who blurted out was abruptly held back, and Qin Xu said, "I am Seventeen." After speaking, he added "from the Lantian Welfare Institute".

Chen Chen scratched his head in doubt, "What seventeen?"

"I was the No. 17 child who entered the Tian Welfare Institute that year. Because my parents didn't leave any identity information, everyone in the yard called me Seventeen before I could read," Qin Xu explained, turning his head to look at The waiter at the side asked him: "Meng Xinhe, do you remember me?"

Only then did Meng Xinhe come to his senses, he smiled at Qin Xu, "Remember, Shi Qi, you are the luckiest one in our yard, how could I forget? It's just that we were all too young at that time, and now the changes have changed so much. It's too big, I just didn't recognize it."

When he was talking, he was looking at Qin Xu, seeing his exquisite cuff buttons all the way from Qin Xu's shoes, and then quickly retracted his gaze without leaving a trace, and said to Qin Xu: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet again , what is your name now? Where do you go to school?"

"Qin Xu, Qin Shihuang's Qin, Xu, I'm in University A now, what about you?"

After Qin Xu finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, because he saw the smile on Meng Xinhe's lips froze, and Meng Xinhe put the order tablet in his hand on the table, and tapped it twice with his finger, "You saw it too, I'm here Work."

Qin Xu nodded, "Very good, the business here is so good."

Meng Xinhe smiled, "Hey, let me recommend a few dishes for you. Although they are not signature dishes, they are better than signature dishes."

Chen Chen hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Qin Xu looked at Meng Xinhe, and suddenly asked: "Where is Suhan? How is she?"

Meng Xinhe's hand that flipped through the menu suddenly froze, and his arched back was a little stiff, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"The three of us had the best time at that time, and I missed you very much after I left, but the dean didn't let me go back to see you, and didn't even call."

"I know, this is the rule, and we don't blame you."

"Xinhe," Qin Xu is not good at saying this kind of words, but he still tried his best to organize his words: "If you need any help from me, just ask, let's add a contact information."

Meng Xinhe was startled, and said: "...OK." Then he took out his phone.

His mobile phone is very old, very old, the left and right corners are broken, and the screen is also broken. Meng Xinhe laboriously pressed the phone book twice, and finally a numeric keypad came out. Qin Xu wanted to take it and enter it. , Meng Xinhe didn't give it, he smiled lightly, a little embarrassed, "I will lose by myself, you are not used to it."

"Okay." Qin Xu reported his number.

After Meng Xinhe entered Qin Xu, he heard someone calling him from behind. It was the people at the next table who were urging him to serve. Meng Xinhe picked up the small tablet for ordering food, walked over to apologize to the next table, and then walked over to Qin Xu and said: "Have you ordered yet? I'll place the order when I'm done. By the way, I just said I would recommend it to you. Um...these two, Tricholoma and charcoal-grilled prawns, are really good. If you like it, I will Let the chef increase the amount for you."

Qin Xu was afraid of delaying Meng Xinhe's time, so he kept saying yes.

Meng Xinhe skillfully entered a string of dish names, then put away the menu and put it in the box beside the table, pasted the printed list on the side of the table, and apologized to Qin Xu: "I'm sorry, I'll go to work first."

After Meng Xinhe left, Chen Chen asked in a low voice, "Is he the little brother you mentioned earlier who helped you in the orphanage?"

"Well," Qin Xu nodded, with a sad expression on his face, "I didn't expect him to work so hard now."

Chen Chen sighed deeply, "There's no way around it. Everyone has their own destiny. How old is he? He seems to be very skilled in his work."

"One year older than me."

"Oh, that was quite hard work. Thinking about us, who are about the same age as him, we are so happy." Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The dishes were served one after another, and Qin Xu noticed that the portion of the plate of charcoal-grilled prawns was really half as much as that of the other table.

Meng Xinhe would take care of others when he was a child, and Qin Xu was often led by Meng Xinhe to the cafeteria since he could remember. At that time, Meng Xinhe was holding Qin Xu with one hand and Li Suhan with the other. Usually when you arrive at the cafeteria, there is not much meat left, Meng Xinhe will put all the meat to Li Suhan, Qin Xu also imitated him, and wanted to give it to Li Suhan, but was stopped by Meng Xinhe, Qin Xu was puzzled, Meng Xinhe said with a smile : "Eat it yourself, you want to grow, little radish."

He is only one year older than Qin Xu and two years older than Li Suhan, but he is very patient and precocious than all other children. After Qin Xu got older, he heard that Meng Xinhe was not an abandoned child, he was beaten by his father The unconscious person was rescued by the head of the orphanage and placed in the orphanage.

But Meng Xinhe said: I am the same as you, there is no difference, don't be sad, let's live a good life.

……

After they finished eating, there was no busy figure of Meng Xinhe, so Qin Xu went to the front desk to pay the bill by himself, and then sat back in his seat.

He and Chen Chen got up, picked up their things and left. Just as they opened the door, they suddenly heard Meng Xinhe calling him from behind.

"Seventeen——" Meng Xinhe trotted to his side, but changed his address: "Qin Xu, you just asked about Suhan, I didn't tell the truth, if you want to miss her, go to the orphanage to see her Well, she's sick, leukemia, terminal, if you want to see her again in the future, it may be difficult."

Qin Xu was stunned, "What?"

After Meng Xinhe finished speaking, he didn't look at Qin Xu, but Qin Xu saw tears in the corners of his eyes. After a few seconds, he raised his head and smiled as before, "I think it's delicious, I will come here often, I still have a few more dishes to order Come on, let's go first, you go slowly."

Qin Xu stood where he was for a long time, and he didn't come back to himself until the cold wind rushed into his neckline. He said to Chen Chen, "I'm going to the orphanage now."

Chen Chen understood Qin Xu's thoughts, so he just asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Qin Xu shook his head and took out his mobile phone to call Didi, but there was an empty one in hand, so he said goodbye to Chen Chen and walked straight over.

But when he arrived at the Lantian Children's Welfare Institute, the guard refused to let him in, saying that there was no girl named "Li Suhan". Qin Xu had no choice but to ask the guard to call the dean for him.

The dean actually still remembered him, and also remembered that he was now the noble young master of a rich family, so he didn't neglect him at all, and quickly asked the guard to open the gate to let him through.

Qin Xu exchanged pleasantries with the dean, and asked directly: "Do you know where Li Suhan is now? I heard that she is sick."

The dean's smile froze on his face, he hesitated a few words, and finally confessed under Qin Xu's sight, she took Qin Xu around the main building of the orphanage, came to a very dilapidated small courtyard next to the dormitory building, opened the door and entered , pointing to the dimly lit room inside, "That's right, I can't help it. I also used the water drop chip, but this disease is terminally ill and there is no cure. Now I just live day by day and count the days."

Qin Xu walked over, his mind was full of pictures from that time. At that time, he liked to read books, Li Suhan liked to draw, Meng Xinhe liked to play basketball, they played each other under the tree, and no one bothered anyone, but Li Suhan liked to act like a baby. After a while, she started to make trouble, Qin Xu didn't allow her to make trouble, and gently pushed her away, she was not angry, and went to find Meng Xinhe with small steps, Meng Xinhe let her hug him, smiling cheerfully.

Qin Xu pushed open the door and saw a thin girl sitting by the window under the dim yellow light. She was wearing a washed and whitish yellow padded jacket, leaning against the window sill like a dead leaf, the room was tidied up. It was very clean. There was a stack of drawing paper on the small desk, which was pressed by a water glass. When the girl heard the doorbell, she turned her head, revealing a bloodless face with a conspicuous birthmark. He stood up defensively, but he didn't have much strength. Just standing up, he bowed down again, holding on to the stool to breathe.

Qin Xu approached slowly, and said softly, "Suhan, do you remember me? I'm Brother Seventeen."

Li Suhan stopped, she slowly raised her head, her dark eyes were fixed, and then she seemed to find a long-term memory with great difficulty, and extracted the words "Seventeen Brothers" from it, and it took about a minute. After a while, she said: "Remember, remember, I thought I would never have a chance to see you again in my life."

Qin Xu suddenly wanted to cry, he was very helpless, everything he saw tonight made him very helpless.

"Brother Seventeen, how are you now?"

"pretty good."

Li Suhan smiled, but her smile was a little pale, "When you just left, I asked Brother Xinhe to find you. He remembered the license plate of the car that came to pick you up, so he squatted on the side of the road and looked at them one by one. After waiting for more than a month, he finally waited for the car to pass by. He ran over quickly, but failed to catch up. Then he waited for more than a month. This time he was smart and asked Uncle Chen at the opposite newsstand to ride a battery car. After chasing, I finally caught up with your residence. I heard from him that the place you live in is very big and nice, like a palace, and he said that you must be living well, so we don’t have to worry about it.”

Qin Xu couldn't hold back his tears, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Li Suhan quickly shook his head, "No, you are fine, we are all happy for you, you are so smart and good-looking, you will definitely be taken away first, we never blamed you, you still remember me, you still come to see me , I am already very happy."
