"Where's my dad? Is he still sleeping?"
“Your dad has been working very hard lately and is still asleep. I’ll wake him up in a bit, you can go about your business.”
As Jiang Yuping spoke, she went straight into the restroom.
As Qiuyue gazed at her mother's familiar back, she suddenly felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
At that very moment, the autumn sun rose.
He was about to go to the restroom when Qiuyue called him back.
"Brother, Mom is in the bathroom."
Qiu Yang glanced at Qiu Yue and hummed in agreement.
My heart tightened as I gazed at the autumn moon.
In her heart, her older brother Qiuyang was a carbon copy of her father—handsome and dashing, a classic example of a handsome man.
In those days, there was no such thing as a handsome man; the only term was "pretty man." In Qiu Yue's mind, her father, Qiu Jingwen, and her brother, Qiu Yang, were both pretty men. She even thought that when she was looking for a boyfriend, she would look for a handsome young man like her brother. And Liang Guoping, in a way, was indeed a pretty man.
However, upon closer inspection, the original luster on the brother's face had dimmed considerably.
Not only had it lost its former luster, but it was also filled with fatigue and unease, and its eyes were bloodshot.
"elder brother!".
Qiuyue cried out, her voice filled with heartache.
Qiu Yang didn't understand the meaning behind his sister calling him "brother," and looked at her, saying:
"Qiuyue, what's wrong? Why are you so startled so early in the morning?!"
Autumn Moon's eyes remained fixed on Autumn Sun:
"Brother, your eyes are red, like you've been crying. Has something happened in our family? Are you and Mom and Dad hiding it from us?"
Qiu Yang knew that he would never tell his three younger sisters and brother Qiu Shou about his father's identity as an enemy agent and the murder of Liu Han before the Ministry of Public Security solved the case. Last night, after learning everything, he had collapsed. How could his younger sisters and brothers bear it if they knew that their father was an enemy agent and a murderer?
How cruel and heartless it is to make the three younger sisters and brothers equate their father with enemy agents and murderers during the autumn harvest.
Thinking of all this, he forced a smile:
"Qiuyue, why are you crying, brother? Maybe you drank too much last night and didn't sleep well. Your eyes are bloodshot."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuping came out of the restroom.
Qiu Yang took the opportunity to go into the restroom to avoid her sister's questions.
He knew that with his sister Qiuyue's intelligence, she should be able to sense something unusual from their parents' condition and his own tired face.
Qiu Yang knew in his heart that his father's identity as an enemy agent and murderer would eventually be exposed and the public security organs would eventually find out. But for now, he could delay it for as long as possible. It would be better to let his younger sister and brother find out a day later. At least their fear and pain would be delayed by a day.
Summer sleep is the best, while the unsuspecting autumn waters, cicadas, and harvest are still fast asleep.
After tidying up the housework for a while, Jiang Yuping glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already 7:10. She then went into the bedroom and woke her husband up.
Qiu Jingwen opened his eyes and felt completely relaxed.
He knew that it was because his sex life with his wife last night had been quite harmonious that he had slept so soundly.
"You eat first, I'll be right there."
With that, he got out of bed and put on his clothes.
Qiu Jingwen picked up a pack of cigarettes, flicked one out, and went to the balcony to light it.
As he smoked, he pondered whether or not to turn himself in to the police.
