I came back too late today and Wanqiu hasn't finished his homework yet.
There was no time to make the little house either.
I don’t know what made Wan Qiu close the door of the room.
In his small bedroom, Wan Qiu was concentrating and working hard on his homework until he wrote every last word neatly.
But the moment he stopped writing, the empty feeling still spread, leaving Wan Qiu no chance to breathe.
Wan Qiu sat curled up on the bed. The only sound in the small bedroom was the air conditioner.
For some reason, Wan Qiu suddenly felt that the sound of the air conditioner was very noisy.
Even the strong presence of the cold wind it blew was roaring in Wanqiu's ears.
Wan Qiu turned off the air conditioner and sat in the cool room, feeling the gradually rising temperature.
The window was opened, and a mixed sound from outside came in, from silence to noise.
It seemed as if something heavy was always weighing on him.
Even breathing became difficult.
Wan Qiu took out his cell phone and hesitated.
It's late now, maybe not a good time to make a phone call.
Finally, Wan Qiu found a phone number in the address book.
It was the phone number of the shop owner who used to rent a house in the same community as him, and he called.
"Wan Qiu? Why are you calling me suddenly so late at night?" Amid the noisy hot wind that blew in, the shop owner's voice was very loud.
"Boss." Wan Qiu curled up unconsciously, all his attention focused on the small receiver of the phone, "Do you know where my parents are?"
"Ah? Aren't your parents..."
The first people the boss thought of were Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu.
However, since it was a question asked to him, the boss realized that Wan Qiu was talking about Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen?
The boss raised his voice doubtfully: "Did you ask your parents?"
Wan Qiu didn't say anything.
Even Wan Qiu himself didn't know why he went to ask someone he thought he would never see again after nearly a year.
There was some noise in the background on the boss's phone, as if the TV was playing.
Then there was the sound of footsteps, and the boss seemed to have moved to a quieter place.
"Wan Qiu, why are you asking them? Aren't you living a good life now? Why do you have to think about those two rubbish...people?" The boss tried hard to correct his statement.
Wan Qiu still didn't speak.
The boss also remained silent for more than ten seconds, and then continued, "Those two people are not qualified to be parents at all. Although they raised you for three years, you spent most of these three years on your own, and you were abused by them."
Wan Qiu's fingers grasped his ankles: "I know."
"Ah, yes, you know that too, so you should cut off ties with them now and never have anything to do with them again." The boss said immediately.
Since Wan Qiu understood the abnormalities of the past, Wan Qiu also gradually understood why others despised Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen.
"I just... want to know."
But now Wan Qiu doesn't even know what kind of answer he wants to get when he asks this question.
The shop owner seemed to be a little hesitant, and then he said: "Why don't you ask your friend, the one called Huang Hu?"
Wan Qiu was stunned.
Yellow Tiger...
In Wan Qiu's not very clear memory, Huang Hu's friends Lu Qinghe and Ning Qiaozhen once appeared together.
He asked Huang Hu, but Huang Hu gave a very ambiguous answer.
Wan Qiu just felt his mind was very confused, but he couldn't remember what Huang Hu had said to him.
Wan Qiu asked, "Why do you want to ask Uncle Huang Hu?"
"Aren't Huang Hu and his friend the people hired by your parents? Wasn't it because of them that your parents found you?"
The boss's unintentional words directly impacted Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu had no idea that such a thing existed.
Certain details of his past interactions with Huang Hu and Lu Qinghe resurfaced before Wan Qiu's eyes.
Gradually, a network of relationships was formed that was completely unfamiliar to Wan Qiu.
"Wan Qiu?" asked the shop owner opposite.
It took Wan Qiu a long time to find his own voice. The room was obviously very hot as the temperature rose rapidly after the window was opened, but Wan Qiu was unaware of it.
"I...I'll call Uncle Huang Hu to see..."
Until Wan Qiu hung up the phone with his boss, he still hadn't fully realized what had happened.
If Huang Hu and Lu Qinghe were hired...
Then why deny your relationship with Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen?
For the first time, Wan Qiu felt that he was really too stupid, so stupid that he was unable to handle anything.
But a bad intuition was like a thin piano wire wrapped around his fingers, preventing him from continuing to dial the phone and ask further questions.
Wan Qiu looked at the phone in front of him.
Wan Qiu, who wanted to get to the bottom of things and didn't know how to hide it, finally gave in to his desire to explore and called Huang Hu.
Huang Hu's phone rang for a long time.
The ringing of the phone sounded like drumsticks beating Wan Qiu's heart.
Until the phone got busy.
In the end, Huang Hu didn't answer the phone.
Wan Qiu looked on eagerly, and suddenly his cell phone vibrated.
Huang Hu's caller ID appeared in front of Wan Qiu's eyes, as dazzling as the light of a cell phone that suddenly lit up in the middle of the night.
Wan Qiu answered the phone, and Huang Hu's voice came from the other side: "Wan Qiu, what's wrong? Calling uncle so late at night? Did you have a nightmare so late at night?"
In Wanqiu's memory, Huang Hu always had a very pleasant voice.
Sometimes, Wan Qiu felt that Huang Hu might be a bit like Chu Zhang.
But this time, when Wan Qiu heard Huang Hu's voice, he did not feel happy as before.
Wan Qiu put the phone to his ear, and the temperature of the phone gradually increased.
"Wan Qiu? What happened? Was it an accident?"
Huang Hu asked several times in a row, and even when he was about to hang up the phone, Wan Qiu finally spoke.
"Uncle Huang Hu, do you know where my parents are?"
"I don't know? What's wrong? Are you lost?" Huang Hu said subconsciously.
And Wan Qiu added: "I mean, my former parents."
After Huang Hu's voice, there was a brief silence.
Wan Qiu did not give Huang Hu a chance to explain, and said: "The shop owner just told me that your parents now hired you to come to me."
Huang Hu held the phone in his hand, covered it with his hands, and took a deep breath.
Looking at Lu Qinghe, who was sitting in the driver's seat with a subtle look in his eyes, he suddenly became nervous.
"Well, Wan Qiu, I'm working outside with your Uncle Lu right now, so I may not have time to chat. Otherwise, wait for Wan Qiu next time..."
Huang Hu immediately instructed Lu Qinghe to secretly send a message to Yang Xiaoyu to tell him about the situation.
"I just want to know where mom and dad are." Wan Qiu's voice was lower and slower than usual.
It's more like suppressing something.
Huang Hu was very worried.
What do they want to say about this?
"Is it something you can't tell me?" Wan Qiu asked tentatively and cautiously.
"Well, Wan Qiu, our work is confidential." Huang Hu felt his scalp tingling and he couldn't find a better excuse for a moment.
Or rather, his intuition told him that any excuses were now useless.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Huang Hu, I disturbed you at work."
Wan Qiu's voice on the other end of the phone became increasingly weak, and Huang Hu seemed to see Wan Qiu himself, who was gradually losing himself.
Huang Hu immediately said, "It's okay, it's okay, but I'm still working now, so I have to hang up first. Let's find a time to have a good chat next time."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Hu immediately asked, "Did Boss Yang reply?"
"No." Lu Qinghe also frowned and simply dialed the number.
Huang Hu covered his forehead directly: "I am unlucky today."
No matter how stupid Wan Qiu was, he realized at this moment that everyone was hiding something from him.
It has almost become a matter of no doubt.
Wan Qiu remembered that Li Shuo said that if he did something bad, he definitely wouldn't want others to know.
So did mom and dad really take revenge on Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen?
What else?
How many things doesn't he know?
For some reason, Wan Qiu always recalled the day when Lu Qinghe took Ning Qiaozhen and abandoned him on a strange roadside.
It was much hotter then than it is now.
The sun stung his skin, his eyes.
Even now, late at night, Wan Qiu seemed to be able to recall how he felt at that time.
Finally, Wan Qiu put down his phone.
He got off the soft bed and opened the closed door.
He didn't notice that the phone behind him suddenly started vibrating again.
Wan Qiu went to see Chu Yigui's room.
The door was still open, with bright light shining through it.
Wan Qiu vaguely seemed to remember that Chu Yigui had never closed this door since she started living with him.
As long as Wan Qiu wanted, he would always know what Chu Yigui was doing.
This time, Chu Yigui was not reading a book, but using the computer.
Wan Qiu saw from afar the complex and completely incomprehensible text being written on the computer.
Wan Qiu stood at Chu Yigui's door, but didn't know whether he should go in.
Suddenly, the vibration of Chu Yigui's cell phone caught Chu Yigui's attention. When Chu Yigui took off his headphones, he noticed Wan Qiu standing at the door.
Chu Yigui was planning to answer the phone, but he didn't, and didn't even check the caller ID.
"Brother." Chu Yigui only needed to look at Wan Qiu's expression to judge whether Wan Qiu needed him.
And now, Wan Qiu really needs him.
Everything else doesn't matter now.
"Brother." Wan Qiu stood at the door and stared at Chu Yigui, "Where are my parents now?"
Unlike others who needed to react, Chu Yigui almost immediately understood who Wan Qiu was referring to.
And now, Chu Yigui finally knew the reason for the strong strange feeling that had been spreading in Wan Qiu since he returned from the hospital.
Chu Yigui lowered his eyes, then raised them again: "I'll tell you, brother."
Wan Qiu clenched his fingers nervously, waiting for the answer.
"Just, brother, may I know why you suddenly ask such a question?"
Wan Qiu spoke slowly: "Li Shuo said that my current parents will definitely take revenge on my previous parents because they treated me badly."
Chu Yigui understood the context in which these words suddenly appeared.
Chu Yigui said: "Then do you think it is wrong for mom and dad to do this?"
Wan Qiu thought about it.
Finally he shook his head.
Chu Yigui knew that Wan Qiu was growing up gradually without anyone noticing.
And now Wanqiu is gradually acquiring the ability to distinguish.
Wan Qiu will always know about this.
And it is not the case that the longer it is delayed, the less harm will be done to Wan Qiu.
If Wan Qiu asked.
Then he could only answer.
"Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen are in jail now." Chu Yigui's cold voice appeared in the middle of the night.
Accompanied by the sound of the air conditioner, the computer, and the cell phone that was constantly vibrating.
"He is serving a sentence in prison for child abuse, fraud, gambling, illegal detention, intentional injury and many other crimes."
Wan Qiu didn't know what Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen's jobs were.
But he was shocked to hear a series of unfamiliar charges that required him to go to jail, charges that Wan Qiu didn't even understand.
"Mom and Dad did take revenge on them." Chu Yigui said to Wan Qiu, "But they deserved it. The longer they stay in jail, the safer it will be for my brother."
Wan Qiu opened his mouth and lowered his head, but didn't know what to say.
He knew that these must be bad things.
Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen must have hurt many people, just like they hurt him.
This is normal.
This is only natural.
Everyone is responsible for what they do.
I don’t know why Wan Qiu can never let it go.
If Mom and Dad had known about Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen's crimes earlier, they would have sent them to prison long ago.
When was that?
Was it when he was...abandoned?
Wan Qiu had always believed that his two sets of parents had no intersection at all...
Now Wan Qiu has been feeling a sense of disharmony, but he doesn't know what it is.
Countless threads like thin threads were tightly entangled together, and Wan Qiu saw that they were entangled around his body with all their might.
"Anything else, brother?" Wan Qiu raised his head and asked seriously, "Anything else? Something I don't know?"
Chu Yigui could see Wan Qiu’s look of absolute trust in him.
Without any interference, pure white absolute trust.
Chu Yigui also knew that if he concealed it now, perhaps some things could be concealed forever.
But Chu Yigui doesn’t want to do that now.
Maybe there is a chance to hide everything for a lifetime.
But he didn't want to let down the purity and clarity in those eyes looking at him.
"Once upon a time, Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen abandoned my brother."
Chu Yigui rarely gets nervous.
But at this moment, he was so nervous that his throat was dry and his heart ached.
This was a strange and intense emotion for him.
It gave him an irresistible instinct to escape, procrastinate, and turn a blind eye.
Chu Yigui didn’t know what was controlling him. He couldn’t tell whether it was emotion or something else.
but……
"Mom and Dad participated in this matter and fueled the situation by causing my brother to be abandoned."
Chu Yigui was looking at Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu slowly opened his eyes, filled with disbelief.
Chu Yigui heard Wan Qiu ask again: "What about my brother?"
Where is Chu Yigui?
For the first time, Chu Yigui's mind went blank, and he instinctively said the most truthful thing: "I didn't do anything. I just... let it go."
At this moment, Chu Yigui seemed to see something in his eyes.
It was as if he saw the light reflected from the broken glass, entering his pupils.
The glass that had always tried to use its fragile body to resist wind, sand and rain shattered to the ground because of his voice, revealing its sharp edge, pointing towards others.
Wan Qiu took a step back.
Chu Yigui stepped forward and wanted to hold Wan Qiu's hand as he did in the past.
We are still in contact and communicating with each other as before.
Just as he had done countless times before, he would guide Wan Qiu to understand.
But Chu Yigui found that he was far from being as calm as he had imagined.
And Wan Qiu was more chaotic than he expected.
Wan Qiu said nothing, took a step back, and returned to his bedroom.
When the door closed in front of Chu Yigui, Chu Yigui felt like his heart almost stopped beating.
Standing in front of the closed door, Chu Yigui tried to calm himself as he always did.
But just as he realized, he could no longer maintain his own identity in Wanqiu's affairs.
He didn't want to make Wan Qiu angry, and didn't want Wan Qiu to get hurt.
But this is the only thing...
There is no way around it.
His fingers grasped the clothes on his chest, but he could not relieve the pain and congestion that almost took away his breath.
This time…
He tasted the extremely bitter taste called regret.
Chu Yigui did not knock on Wan Qiu's door, but just leaned in the corridor connecting to Wan Qiu's room.
Until his consciousness finally noticed the cell phone that had been vibrating in his room.
Chu Yigui turned around and entered his room, and sure enough, it was a call from Yang Xiaoyu.
Chu Yigui called again, and Yang Xiaoyu answered the phone almost immediately: "Yigui, baby hasn't answered the phone. Is he still in the room now?"
"Yes." Chu Yigui replied.
"Is there anything abnormal with the baby's condition?" Yang Xiaoyu asked immediately.
Chu Yigui said calmly: "Brother is in his room now."
Chu Yigui's answer was rather ambiguous, but this response was enough to let Yang Xiaoyu know Wan Qiu's current situation.
"I'm already there, Yigui, let's talk about it when we meet." Yang Xiaoyu said.
"good."
Chu Yigui hung up the phone and looked at the time on his phone. Had he been in a daze for so long?
Standing up, Chu Yigui sat on the sofa in the living room.
It's very quiet around.
Their house has always been well soundproofed, so sound is difficult to transmit.
In the clean room, memories of Wan Qiu's use were everywhere, but there were no traces left by Wan Qiu.
The self-discipline and tidying habits developed since childhood make Wanqiu more willing to pay attention to trivial matters than his peers.
But this also proves that this is something Wan Qiu cares about.
Whether it is...
No matter how trivial.
The key was inserted into the door lock, followed by the sound of the door being opened roughly.
Chu Yigui looked up and saw Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu who had arrived here together.
But this time, Yang Xiaoyu was not so irritable. He even took the initiative to change into slippers and sat on the sofa in the living room.
"Yigui, tell me what the situation is first." Chu Jianshu said.
Yang Xiaoyu was not impatient. At least in Chu Yigui's vision, he could see that Yang Xiaoyu had grabbed the sofa cover tightly because of his impatience.
The excessive force caused the soft sofa cover to have unnatural wrinkles, but she still endured it.
Chu Yigui said: "My brother asked me about the whereabouts of Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen, and I told him."
Yang Xiaoyu was also looking at Chu Yigui.
The voice of the overly outstanding boy was still calm.
"I also told my brother that my parents and I were involved in the process of my brother being abandoned."
At this moment, something exploded in Yang Xiaoyu's mind, and Yang Xiaoyu immediately heard his own angry voice: "Why did you..."
However, Yang Xiaoyu's voice suddenly stopped. She tried hard to relax herself and pressed the solar plexus to try to relieve the headache. She couldn't vent her impatience on innocent people.
"Why do you want to tell Wanqiu, Yigui? You are obviously a very opinionated child. You should know that this is not appropriate to tell him."
"I know." Chu Yigui said, "Sooner or later, my brother will know, no matter what the reason is or where the details are."
Chu Jianshu also admitted that perhaps Chu Yigui was telling the truth.
"Yigui has thought it over carefully, right?" Chu Jianshu said.
Chu Yigui lowered his eyes and said, "I also have my own selfish motives. I don't want to hide it from my brother."
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if Wan Qiu found out the truth so quickly?" Yang Xiaoyu suppressed his emotions and lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide the temper.
"My brother is a very opinionated person. He has his own thoughts and will try to understand things that he doesn't understand," said Chu Yigui.
"What if he gets angry?" Yang Xiaoyu suddenly retorted.
"I will comfort my brother and apologize to him..."
Chu Yigui's voice suddenly revealed a slight tremor inadvertently, and as if to cover up, Chu Yigui continued speaking.
"My brother is a good listener. He will listen to our explanation and try to understand. I will continue to comfort my brother until he forgives me."
A standard answer.
This is consistent with their understanding of Chu Yigui. This is the consequence that Chu Yigui will always consider after doing something.
He knows what is best to do and what will get results.
He also knew how to communicate with Wan Qiu.
But the slight trembling tone that accidentally leaked out was not ignored by the other two people present.
Chu Yigui shifted his gaze and said again: "I don't want to deprive my brother of the right to be angry."
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyu was unable to refute.
Yang Xiaoyu looked at her child.
A child who is excellent, brilliant, calm and self-possessed, and even almost genius and perfect, makes them more inclined to accept the value he brings.
Chu Yigui's performance has always been remarkable, and they have rarely seen Chu Yigui panicking.
Even now it is the same...
He is clear-headed and calm, and is still good at analyzing the current situation.
Even from his expression, Yang Xiaoyu still couldn't see his flaws.
But now, they detected a subtle sense of unrest in Chu Yigui.
Just that one little mistake.
It was as if a small hole suddenly appeared in a flawless wall, and as long as they bent down and focused their eyes on the small hole with light, they could see a chaotic world filled with emotions on the other side of the wall.
Is Chu Yigui also afraid that Wan Qiu will be angry?
Is Chu Yigui, who has always been the closest to Wan Qiu, more worried about Wan Qiu's mood than them? Yang Xiaoyu suddenly thought so.
Chu Jianshu sighed calmly: "Yigui is right, hiding things is not a long-term solution. Even if it is an opportunity, maybe it is not a bad thing to tell Wan Qiu about this now."
Yang Xiaoyu didn't say anything this time.
She also knew that every word she said would definitely bring pressure to Chu Yigui.
"Yigui, you have worked very hard." Yang Xiaoyu admitted.
Chu Jianshu asked: "Did Wan Qiu show any abnormality after hearing these things?"
Chu Yigui shook his head: "My brother locked himself up, and I haven't had time to explain to him yet."
Chu Jianshu was a little surprised that Chu Yigui, who had always been very proactive, did not explain immediately.
"Wan Qiu doesn't want to come out?" Chu Jianshu asked.
Chu Yigui said, "I didn't knock on the door."
Chu Jianshu did not ask any further questions.
If Chu Yigui is also confused, Chu Yigui will also need time to calm down.
They can't give a child too much burden.
"I'll go over there..." Yang Xiaoyu stood up, "to see if Wan Qiu is willing to come out and listen to our explanation."
Looking at Yang Xiaoyu's back as he left upstairs, Chu Jianshu fixed his gaze on Chu Yigui.
It looks no different than before.
But the undercurrent beneath the calm is turbulent.
"Yigui, you have been doing very well, very well." Chu Jianshu said to Chu Yigui, "Even if there are some mistakes, it is not a big deal. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
"I know, Dad." Chu Yigui raised his eyes and answered respectfully, "Don't worry."
"Dad is worried about you."
However, Chu Jianshu was not as reassured as he had been in the past as Chu Yigui said.
"Dad, can you tell me how you feel right now?"
In the past, Chu Jianshu rarely called himself "Dad".
It's more of an 'I' rather than such a term of endearment.
And now when Chu Jianshu faced Chu Yigui, he truly regarded Chu Yigui as a child.
Chu Yigui remained silent. The strangeness that he unintentionally revealed did not escape the attention of his shrewd parents.
But it was different from what he expected. Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu were different than before and would no longer turn a blind eye.
Chu Yigui is still thinking even now.
What kind of answer would be better...
"If my brother were to stand in front of me right now, listen to me, and hear me apologize, maybe things would be better."
In the end, Chu Yigui expressed the confusion and panic in his heart.
Even though his tone was calm, it concealed the deepest depression.
Chu Yigui felt very uneasy just because Wan Qiu was not by his side.
"You have a very good relationship. Dad is very confident that you two can get along well." Chu Jianshu said to Chu Yigui as if to comfort him, "Just as you said, Wan Qiu will listen to you."
"Yeah." Chu Yigui finally just looked away, "Thank you for your comfort, Dad."
Chu Jianshu sighed silently.
But it is not disappointment or loss, but relief.
How can a person be perfect?
It is not a bad thing that you have gradually revealed your wishes and expressed your emotions.
And perhaps even if Wan Qiu really wanted to be angry and blame them, there was nothing he could do about it.
Just like Chu Yigui said, Wan Qiu has the right to be angry.
They have an unshirkable responsibility in hurting Wan Qiu.
——
When Wan Qiu closed the door, the look Chu Yigui gave him at that time still vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.
It was the first time he saw Chu Yigui look like that.
Wan Qiu didn’t know what that look was like, it was strange, like a piece of fragile paper.
When Wan Qiu first started making the handmade house and was not familiar with it, just his wet fingertips would cause the thin paper to wrinkle.
However, Chu Yigui, who had always been firm to Wan Qiu, showed himself to be as sensitive and fragile as paper.
But Wan Qiu is very confused now.
Chu Yigui told him something that was enough to confuse him.
Wan Qiu needs time to digest it. If he looks at Chu Yigui again, he will always pay attention to Chu Yigui.
Wan Qiu sat on the bed, thinking hard.
Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen did terrible things and the prison will punish them.
Chu Yigui said that it was what he deserved.
If Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen were both sent to prison, wouldn't he also be taken away by his parents?
Why abandon him?
Is it because you want to abandon him?
Wan Qiu lowered his head, shocked by his own thoughts, but he was struggling deep in his heart, unwilling to believe that this was the fact.
Even if he is abandoned by his parents one day in the future, it has nothing to do with Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen abandoning him, right?
Could it be that mom and dad have a quirk of abandoning their own children?
Impossible, impossible, Wan Qiu denied this possibility.
His father is very good to him, and so is his mother.
This family is really nice, it’s better than I could have imagined when I was with Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen.
Wan Qiu’s memories of the past are actually not very clear.
Those hard days day after day will only become clear when you suddenly recall them at a certain time.
Wan Qiu couldn't figure it out.
Wan Qiu couldn't find a way to understand this matter.
But Wan Qiu knew that he must have been very afraid of being abandoned at that time.
When Wan Qiu knew nothing, leaving Ning Qiaozhen was almost like losing the whole world.
Even if he could go back to that time now, Wan Qiu would not want to be abandoned by Ning Qiaozhen.
Wan Qiu hesitated, feeling very powerless.
It was very sad to curl up in a ball on the bed, thinking about things that I could never possibly figure out.
On one hand, I was torn by fear, and on the other hand, I wanted to understand my parents' actions, but in the end, it all merged into a feeling of helplessness towards this strange behavior.
It was not until there was a knock on Wan Qiu's door that he suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had almost fallen asleep without realizing it.
Wan Qiu wanted to open the door, but suddenly heard Yang Xiaoyu's voice.
"Baby, mommy wants to say sorry to you."
"Mom also thought about whether it would be better not to do this, but she still did it."
"Mom hopes that you won't get hurt, but I still decided to let you down completely once."
"Now that I think about it, maybe my mother at that time just wanted you to return to her as intact as possible, and she used whatever means necessary."
Wan Qiu stood in front of the door in confusion. Because the sound insulation was too good, Yang Xiaoyu's voice didn't seem so clear.
But Wan Qiu understood every word.
"Can you listen to what mom has to say?" Yang Xiaoyu's voice came from the other side of the door, as if she was stuck to the door. "Don't listen to mom's explanation, but let mom apologize to you, okay?"
Wan Qiu suddenly opened the door.
Yang Xiaoyu, who had been sticking to the door, almost stumbled and fell in, but fortunately he held on to the door frame with both hands.
Wan Qiu and Yang Xiaoyu exchanged glances.
Yang Xiaoyu probably didn't think Wan Qiu would open the door.
Putting herself in the other person's shoes, Yang Xiaoyu felt that if she encountered such a thing, with her personality, even if she could really understand it, she would definitely have a conflict, or at least throw a tantrum.
So Yang Xiaoyu was prepared to endure Wan Qiu's anger from the beginning.
But Wan Qiu opened the door.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyu was leaning on the door frame, looking confused.
Wan Qiu raised his head and looked at Yang Xiaoyu eagerly.
Yang Xiaoyu was so surprised that he got stuck.
Wan Qiu said, "I came out to listen to my mother."
For the first time, Yang Xiaoyu lost even his usual impatience. He stared at it eagerly, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Wan Qiu saw that Yang Xiaoyu didn't say anything, and wondered if it was because they were at the door and it was inconvenient to talk?
"Then would mom like to come in?" Wan Qiu made way, as if to let Yang Xiaoyu enter his room.
When Yang Xiaoyu looked at Wan Qiu's bedroom, he suddenly felt timid.
It is hard for people not to feel guilty when facing their own mistakes, even Yang Xiaoyu is the same.
When Yang Xiaoyu was apologizing to Yang Ze, he felt so nervous that he couldn't put it into words.
"Can you go to the living room? Dad and Yigui are waiting for you."
Yang Xiaoyu even despised himself and couldn't even maintain his strong character in front of Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu nodded: "Then let's go to the living room."
Yang Xiaoyu felt that his footsteps were alternately deep and shallow, as if he was stepping on soft soil that had just been turned over.
She took Wan Qiu downstairs, looking back every few steps, as if the Wan Qiu she saw now was just her delusion.
But Wan Qiu was always there, with no sign of disappearing.
When Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu, a look of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He originally thought that Wan Qiu would dislike him for this and would be unwilling to have any contact with them.
But when he met Wan Qiu's eyes, Chu Yigui found that he was wrong.
And the anger, disgust, rejection, or even revenge he had imagined was none of it.
There is no difference from before...
Chu Yigui found that he would never be able to understand Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu is always beyond his expectations.
Wan Qiu sat on the only single sofa in front of his parents and younger brother.
Butler Bai once said that this is usually the main seat, representing the most important position.
And now Wan Qiu was sitting in the main position, and he realized that what he was going to hear this time might be very serious words.
Chu Jianshu spoke first: "Wan Qiu, first of all, I'm sorry. It was my idea to let Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen abandon you."
Wan Qiu asked: "Why?"
"Because you were not willing to accept us at that time."
Chu Jianshu's words brought Wan Qiu back to that unclear memory.
I remembered the lack of contact and curiosity I showed to Chu Jianshu when I first met him.
I remembered the rejection and fear I felt when I first met Yang Xiaoyu.
I also remembered the first time I met Chu Yigui...
Wan Qiu glanced at Chu Yigui. His younger brother was sitting in the seat farthest away from him.
They were so far away that it seemed as if they couldn't touch each other.
"You were not willing to leave Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen at the time. Based on my understanding, given the way Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen behave, once they knew you were from a wealthy family, they would definitely try every possible means to control you."
As the autumn wore on, I seemed to recall the past feelings.
At that time, he didn't want to follow anyone except Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen.
Wan Qiu also knew that there were too many people in this world who lived better lives than him, but to him, only Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen were the best.
If ever...
If you didn't know that he was neglected and abused in that cramped rented house...
Wan Qiu still feels that having Ning Hai and Ning Qiaozhen is the happiest thing in the world.
Wan Qiu suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a little bit.
Having been abandoned before, I am better able to welcome a new life.
If he wasn't abandoned, would he be unwilling to face his real parents?
"If you are still connected with those two people, even if we forcibly bring you back, we can't protect you completely. Those two people will find ways to contact you, and we may not be able to stop them."
