Chapter 22



Wanqiu would finish his housework before going out every morning, and he would do the same today.

Chu Yigui followed behind Wan Qiu and watched quietly.

Wan Qiu folded all the dried clothes and placed them neatly in the closet one by one.

The clothes in the closet are clearly arranged, and at first glance they are actually quite pleasing to the eye.

But most of them are not Wanqiu’s clothes.

Compared with Ning Qiaozhen and Ning Hai's full wardrobes, Wan Qiu's small wardrobe was mostly empty.

A hoodie that had been taken out was placed on the sofa. Wan Qiu found the needle and thread in the closet and sewed up the sleeve that had a hole in it caused by the car accident.

Although it can be seen that Wan Qiu really wants to make the repair look good, it is obvious that just putting a patch on it is the limit.

Chu Yigui noticed that there was a hood rope in the sewing box that was the same color as the clothes. As expected, he saw that there was no tightening rope on the hood that was being mended.

"Isn't this a set? Aren't you going to put it on?" Chu Yigui asked. If it was because she didn't know how, he could help.

"It was pulled out on purpose." Wan Qiu shook his head.

"Don't you like ropes?" Chu Yigui wondered if it was some kind of mental rejection.

"Dad and uncle like to use this as a joke." Wan Qiu pinched the rope that was carefully rolled into a ball. "An uncle tightened the rope so that I couldn't see it. When dad was drunk and tightened the rope, it would strangle my neck."

Wan Qiu's tone was very calm, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter.

Chu Yigui's breathing paused briefly, and his gaze remained on Wan Qiu's thin neck, which seemed to be easily broken if pinched.

It was as if I saw the thin hood rope being tightened and tightened, leaving deep marks on the already fragile skin of the neck.

Finally, Chu Yigui closed his eyes and said calmly, "Really? Why don't you throw it away?"

"Maybe it can still be used." Wan Qiu was reluctant to throw away the good rope, so he kept it in the sewing box.

Wan Qiu finished his housework and prepared to go out to pick up trash.

Before leaving, Wan Qiu took his own small treasury, carefully wrapped all the money in small pieces of cloth, and put it carefully in his pocket to make sure it would not fall out.

Chu Yigui leaned against the door and watched Wan Qiu reveal the location of the small treasury. When he saw that Wan Qiu actually took all of it with him without reservation, his expression darkened.

Wan Qiu cherished these small amounts of money so much and took them all with him. Chu Yigui knew why.

"Going out? Don't you like watching TV at home?" Chu Yigui tried to find some of Wan Qiu's hobbies.

The TV is the only thing in this house that can attract the children's attention.

In this age where everyone has a mobile phone, the most valuable thing on Wan Qiu's body is the small change in his cloth, not to mention a mobile phone.

"It will waste electricity." Wan Qiu replied, "The electricity bill will be high, and my mother will be unhappy."

"Do you like watching TV?" Chu Yigui did not let Wan Qiu avoid the topic.

Wan Qiu blinked his eyes and said, "There is a store that sells TVs. I go there every day and watch some cartoons."

Wan Qiu's preferences are still very much towards a child.

"Why didn't you go yesterday?" Chu Yigui talked to Wan Qiu tirelessly.

Wan Qiu replied: "You may not like it."

Wan Qiu remembered that he once heard his classmates discussing this cartoon, but the discussion was dropped after others said it was childish. At that time, Wan Qiu realized that perhaps this cartoon was not pleasing.

Because no one likes it, Wan Qiu thinks Chu Yigui might not like it either.

Chu Yigui opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Looking down at the short one, who was unconsciously taking care of his thin...

A little fool who really is like a brother.

Because they are friends, Wan Qiu always can't help but look at Chu Yigui more.

Wan Qiu vaguely wondered if Chu Yigui was a strange person.

Is it interesting to watch people picking up trash?

Chu Yigui was looking at him seriously. He was not interested in the shop selling exquisite dolls, the beautiful signboard of the video game arcade, or the snack bar that smelled delicious. He just looked at him.

Wan Qiu was a little confused.

Wan Qiu's attention was suddenly attracted by a group of students who came out to play not far away.

Because it was a windy day, the weather was particularly hot today, and there were many more people holding drinks on the road. These drink bottles kept sparkling in Wan Qiu's eyes.

There were a lot of people, and everyone had a bottle in their hands, and they had almost finished drinking.

Wanqiu has to stay at home at night so as not to worry his parents, but he cannot go out too early in the morning in case he runs into fellow rubbish collectors and cannot grab the trash.

During this time during the day, Wan Qiu didn't want to miss any bottle.

Wan Qiu followed a few students and walked a short distance.

At this time, several female students in the front whispered: "Look behind."

Wan Qiu suddenly noticed that the female student turned around, and immediately stood still with his whole body stiff.

However, several girls looked past him and behind him.

Chu Yigui walked from Wan Qiu's side to the front of several students, instantly making the girls excited.

"Excuse me, do you still want the drink bottles in your hands? If you have finished drinking them, can you give them to me?" Chu Yigui asked directly.

Several students were stunned and subconsciously gave the bottle in their hands to Chu Yigui.

"Aren't you going to drink the drink inside?" Chu Yigui shook the small portion of the drink that was handed over.

Chu Yigui's pleasant voice seemed to have a charm that could bewitch people. Several students drank it involuntarily. Some of those who had more left drank it all in one breath and handed all the empty bottles to Chu Yigui.

Chu Yigui smiled back: "Thank you."

When several girls saw this smile, they were so excited that they secretly pulled their companions' clothes, but Chu Yigui had already turned around.

"That...that handsome guy?" At this time, a female student couldn't help but try to strike up a conversation.

Chu Yigui turned around and smiled: "Are you college students?"

"Yes, yes, you too?" Several students were surprised.

"No, I'm fourteen years old and a junior high school student."

In an instant, the smiles on the girls' faces froze.

Chu Yigui ignored the shocked and frustrated looks on the faces of the female students and turned around and walked towards Wan Qiu.

"Fuck, a junior high school student?! That's actually a junior high school student?! Oh my God..." The girl's voice was full of disbelief.

Chu Yigui threw all the beverage bottles into the plastic bag on Wanqiu's cart.

When I looked up, I suddenly met Wan Qiu's bright eyes.

There was such a sparkle in those eyes that Chu Yigui even felt that he was an incomparably bright light in those eyes.

Chu Yigui never thought that one day he would be admired for such a thing.

Wan Qiu's eyes are always empty, so once they are filled with certain emotions, it seems that there is only that one emotion.

And now the only one who is carrying the overflowing load is Chu Yigui.

When Chu Yigui looked into those eyes, he actually had a brief feeling as if he was being pulled into them.

"Are you fourteen years old this year?" Wan Qiu asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, I'm the same age as you." Chu Yigui responded, "But you are a few months older than me."

Wan Qiu didn't think about why Chu Yigui knew his age and even knew the difference in months between them.

He just raised his head and looked at the tall Chu Yigui who seemed to be able to cast a shadow over him.

I thought vaguely: younger than me? Am I the older brother?
