Because of Wan Qiu's action, Yang Ze and Wan Qiu waited for three days but did not see Ran Yongrui again.
After all, Ran Yongrui is a man with a respectable profession, and he certainly wouldn't act like an ordinary person.
Although it was only a temporary reprieve, Chu Yigui could finally focus on his studies.
With the last month of high school entrance exams, Chu Yigui is obviously busier.
After Chu Yigui's high school entrance exam, Wan Qiu's entrance exam came next, although there was no such thing as passing or not passing the exam for junior high school students.
Wan Qiu is studying very hard.
Two days before Chu Yigui's exam, Wan Qiu took the initiative to cook.
Because my aunt said that making something delicious can give the candidates more motivation.
Wan Qiu hadn't cooked for a while, and he remembered that his cooking skills were not good, so he listened to his aunt and made a sausage and two eggs.
Chu Yigui couldn't stop laughing after seeing this.
Although Wan Qiu was confused as to why Chu Yigui was laughing like that, he still saw that Chu Yigui had finished eating.
Chu Yigui's test was very quick, his expression was very relaxed, and it seemed like there was no suspense at all.
A week later, Chu Yigui’s results came out.
As a matter of course, I got the first place and got the admission letter from my dream high school without any suspense.
The results were announced in the school, because Chu Yigui's result was not only the first in the grade of the school, but also the first in the entire city's high school entrance examination, and even directly surpassed the second place by several tens of points.
Chu Yigui still met Ran Yongrui on the day the exam results were announced.
Ran Yongrui stood next to the honor board for a long time.
When Wan Qiu heard about this, he asked Chu Yigui whether he had spoken to Ran Yongrui.
Chu Yigui said they talked.
Chu Yi returned and said thank you to him.
Wan Qiu didn't know what Chu Yigui and Ran Yongrui said, but Chu Yigui didn't seem to care much from beginning to end.
Even if Wan Qiu knew, Chu Yigui and Ran Yongrui talked about it for a long time.
When Yang Xiaoyu heard that Chu Yigui got first place in the exam, it was completely within his expectations.
Although he wanted to celebrate, Chu Yigui refused.
Because Wanqiu will also have an exam soon.
Wan Qiu also took the entrance examination two weeks after Chu Yigui took the exam.
Wan Qiu studied very hard, and Chu Yigui gave Wan Qiu tutoring and questions for two weeks after the exam.
After leaving the examination room, Wan Qiu felt that he had written the questions well.
After this, Wan Qiu took another exam to test whether he could skip a grade.
The two results came out at the same time. Unfortunately, Wan Qiu failed to meet Chu Jianshu's requirements.
However, this final grade was Wan Qiu's highest grade in history.
"It's something worth celebrating." Yang Xiaoyu was obviously very happy and had been planning how to celebrate.
Wan Qiu quietly raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yigui who was beside him.
His brother smiled and looked at the person in front of him.
"Dad, Mom." Chu Yigui said with a smile, "Can I go see the sea?"
The place where they were was some distance from the sea.
In fact, Chu Yigui seldom travels with his family, or rather, the entire Chu family seldom travels.
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu both have their own companies and spend most of their time busy at work. They prefer work to enjoying daily life.
Yang, on the other hand, is a more silent person and would not show any particular desire to travel.
Even...the trip with Wan Qiu is unique in the Chu family.
Although Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu wanted to go to popular beach spots abroad, Chu Yigui said he wanted to find a quiet place.
Although it was rare, Chu Yigui took the initiative to say what he wanted to do, and Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu were very supportive.
In the end, Yang Xiaoyu borrowed a seaside villa from a friend, had it cleaned in advance, and set aside some time for rest so that he could have fun without working.
It was also Wan Qiu’s first time to see the sea, so he was somewhat nervous.
It’s just that Wan Qiu was closer to Chu Yigui than usual, and he tried harder to hold Chu Yigui’s hand.
Even Yang Xiaoyu laughed and said they seemed to be conjoined.
They went to the private beach together on a sunny day, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
This beach is not particularly wide, and because it has not been developed for tourism, it is not particularly beautiful.
But the completely natural scenery and the shaping of the mountains and rivers make this place breathtakingly beautiful.
They brought a barbecue to the beach, brought a chef, and brought lifeguards just in case.
And borrowed a friend's yacht.
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu also asked Chu Yi what he wanted after returning, and they could satisfy him.
But Chu Yigui just said: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, this is enough."
Wan Qiu can swim and likes to play in the water in the hot summer. He hasn't had a good swim for a long time, so he had a great time this time.
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu also took some time off from their vacation to enjoy this hard-earned time.
Wan Qiu sat in the water, looking up at Chu Yigui who was by the water.
Got ashore and sat in front of Chu Yigui.
"My brother and the seaside have become one, becoming the most beautiful scenery."
Chu Yigui smiled, but his laughter was unclear in the sea breeze.
Wan Qiu blinked, but didn't know what to answer Chu Yigui.
But when he was lying in the water and looking at Chu Yigui.
I always notice the sky behind Chu Yigui, which is so blue that even the clouds seem insignificant.
"Why does Yigui suddenly want to go to the beach? Does he actually like the sea?" Yang Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Chu Yigui replied: "I just want to feel what it feels like to be small. By comparison, the sea is more likely to make people feel this way, right?"
"Why would anyone want to feel insignificant?" Yang Xiaoyu raised his lips, "I'm at the beach, and I also feel that I'm great."
Chu Yigui laughed so hard that he even agreed with Yang Xiaoyu: "Yes, I always think my mother is amazing."
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu were not unaware of Chu Yigui's excessive cheerfulness.
Just watching the two young boys, one tall and one short, holding hands and walking on the beach at sunset, the roar of the waves actually created a peaceful world.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyu seemed to understand the meaning of insignificance.
No matter how noisy they are, they cannot withstand the never-ending waves.
Everything was calm and peaceful until I returned home after the trip.
During a dinner after returning, Yang Xiaoyu suddenly spoke.
"I have to go back the day after tomorrow. Can you take the babies shopping tomorrow?"
Yang Xiaoyu still had to go abroad to work, and was thinking about how to buy some more clothes for her lovely children.
"I also have time tomorrow." Chu Jianshu was rarely willing to participate in Yang Xiaoyu's itinerary, even though he rarely accompanied Yang Xiaoyu shopping.
Yang Ze was also wondering whether he had time.
only……
"Mom and Dad." Chu Yigui's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation.
"What's wrong? Yigui, do you have any place to recommend?" Yang Xiaoyu asked.
Chu Yigui raised his eyes and suddenly said, "I want to leave the Chu family."
"Leave? Where to?" Yang Xiaoyu didn't react to what Chu Yigui was saying for a moment.
"I want to set up a new household registration and get rid of my status as the adopted son of the Chu family."
Suddenly, the whole air was silent.
Butler Bai was preparing a fruit salad for Wan Qiu after dinner when the spoon in his hand suddenly fell into the glass container, making a crisp collision sound.
This noise became the only sound in this sudden silence.
Chu Yigui's expression remained calm, and he had no awareness at all that he had made such an explosive statement.
Or maybe he had already determined that this would be the result and had anticipated this situation.
Yang Xiaoyu rubbed her forehead with her hand and suddenly asked, "Yigui, I'm sorry, Mom didn't hear clearly what you said just now."
"I want to cancel the adoption." Chu Yigui repeated this sentence seriously, "I hope I am no longer your child."
Yang Xiaoyu vaguely felt pain in his brain.
On such a quiet day, during such a quiet dinner.
Shouldn't such remarks be made at a unique time when traveling?
Yang Xiaoyu rubbed his brows: "Is it because of that guy called Ran Yongrui? Yigui, I don't think you are such an unconscious child."
"No." Chu Yigui said.
Yang Xiaoyu spread out his hands, expressing his surprise: "What is that, rebellious period?"
"I've thought about it seriously." Chu Yigui said.
Chu Yigui always has a plan, a reason, and a choice.
I don't do anything for no reason.
Yang Xiaoyu looked at Wan Qiu and found that Wan Qiu was very calm.
This was not a reaction of knowing nothing. Chu Yigui had obviously told Wan Qiu.
This is enough to prove that Chu Yigui's request was not a whim.
When Yang Xiaoyu was unable to sort out her emotions, Chu Jianshu said, "Let me hear your reasons for doing this."
"I am very grateful to my parents for their cultivation of me. This gratitude also includes love. But I feel uncomfortable if I continue to shamelessly pretend to be a member of this family."
Chu Yigui used a more straightforward and simple method, without emotion, to express his truest thoughts.
"Yigui, you know very well..." Yang Xiaoyu slapped the table directly, she could hardly hide her anger.
"I know very well that no one treats me as an outsider."
Chu Yigui was very calm, so calm that it was hard not to suspect that he had actually simulated such a scene many times.
"It's just an emotional thing, and it's not something you can control just by knowing it."
Yang Xiaoyu was speechless.
As someone who had once been controlled by emotions, she understood better than anyone the feeling of having out-of-control emotions.
Chu Yigui said a lot.
Said it once.
A completely new past with Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu as the focus.
Talked about the first time I met Wan Qiu.
It spoke of his inner emotions and thoughts.
Chu Yigui's voice sounded very nice to Wan Qiu.
In a quiet space, Chu Yigui's pleasant voice can affect almost everyone.
Even if Chu Yigui didn't slow down his voice, Wan Qiu could already understand what Chu Yigui was saying.
Wan Qiu vaguely realized that he was involved in the entire process of Chu Yigui's change.
Until Chu Yigui stopped, Wan Qiu looked at his father and mother.
After a long time, Chu Jianshu said, "This is your decision, right?"
"yes."
"You are a very good child, but I have always been worried that your temper will bring trouble to your future. But now it seems that I was overthinking." Chu Jianshu said with a sigh.
Chu Yigui smiled and said, "It has always been my immaturity that has troubled Dad."
Yang Xiaoyu still found it hard to accept: "Does it have to be this way? If it's because of the reasons you mentioned, we may not be able to get along, right?"
"It's not for the sake of getting along, but I just want to do this." Chu Yigui faced Yang Xiaoyu, "I'm not going to leave my parents, I just don't want this identity anymore."
"But you are only sixteen years old." Yang Ze, who had been silent all the time, pointed out Chu Yigui's age.
"Yes, I am already sixteen years old, second brother."
Chu Yigui’s words suddenly left Yang Ze speechless.
"I hope to repay my parents, so I also hope to sign an agreement with them. I want to be my brother's general teacher. I have already achieved good results."
Yang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was indeed the case.
Chu Yigui has been tutoring Wan Qiu since a very early stage.
And no matter which teacher it was, they all said that Chu Yigui was a very good tutor.
"I also hope to continue to assist my parents, my eldest brother and my second brother in the future..."
However, Yang Xiaoyu suddenly interrupted Chu Yigui: "But with your ability, you can obviously do better. Even if I give you some money to start a business..."
"Mom, I don't actually have such big ambitions."
Suddenly, Chu Yigui said.
He may be smart.
He may have a brighter future in everyone's eyes.
But Chu Yigui knew very well that he was not suitable.
All he could see was the small area in front of him.
All he wants to cherish is everything in this small space.
He had no preferences, no wishes, and only now did he reluctantly face himself.
"Who can be sure of the future? Aren't you doing very well now?" Yang Xiaoyu said.
"I trust my parents very much. If there really comes a day like that..." Chu Yigui said with a smile, "I will ask my parents to invest in me."
"You're taking a detour." Chu Jianshu's voice was more serious and hard than usual, but if you listened carefully, it seemed more like he was suppressing something.
"Maybe this is my personality. When I hit a wall, I want to die against it."
Chu Yigui was even in the mood to joke.
But Chu Yigui was very clear about everything he was feeling now, and it was actually very relaxing.
Tell it all...
Very easy...
Yang Xiaoyu let out a long sigh.
I don’t know why, but when I think back to everything Chu Yigui has done in the past, I suddenly feel that Chu Yigui’s current ideas are actually very reasonable.
"Is identity such an important matter?" Yang Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
"yes."
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that Chu Yigui was actually a bit like her.
Stubborn...
Too serious.
Like to nitpick.
Has she also influenced Chu Yigui's character unknowingly?
Yang Xiaoyu raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yigui, who she had always thought was very mature.
Suddenly I realized that this is actually still a child.
"I understand, Yigui, just like I said before, I respect your choice."
Chu Jianshu shifted his gaze from Yang Xiaoyu to Chu Yigui: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Dad, I'm sure."
"Then everything we support you in the future will no longer be unsolicited and legitimate."
"Yes, that's what I want."
Chu Jianshu suddenly felt that he couldn’t understand Chu Yigui anymore.
This child was actually mysterious and magical to him.
"I understand." Chu Jianshu responded, "Let's do as you say."
Perhaps they should think about it more, give themselves some more time, and try to persuade Chu Yigui.
But he didn't want to hit a child who was thinking hard and thoughtfully.
I also don't want to watch this child quietly wasting my time in the name of a relative.
Chu Jianshu looked at Wan Qiu.
It seemed as if his child had stayed out of the matter from beginning to end and hadn't even said a word.
But all these changes actually originated from Wanqiu.
Maybe this isn't a bad thing.
Chu Jianshu thought.
Since Wan Qiu came back here, nothing bad has happened for a long time.
This time, he continued to believe in the changes that Wan Qiu would bring to the Chu family.
Wanqiu is very quiet.
He knew that everyone was seriously discussing Chu Yigui's departure from the Chu family.
Wan Qiu didn't quite understand.
Wan Qiu vaguely knew that Chu Yigui might no longer be his younger brother soon.
But they won't separate.
Wan Qiu still doesn't understand what Chu Yigui is thinking.
But Wan Qiu still remembered the feelings that Chu Yigui had hidden in his heart when he told him. Those feelings must have made Chu Yigui very sad.
No one seemed to intend to keep Chu Yigui, just like him.
Because it was something Chu Yigui wanted to do, once Chu Jianshu agreed, all the procedures were handled quickly.
Even though Wan Qiu didn't know what they were doing, he would occasionally hear their progress at the dinner table.
Yang Xiaoyu, who was originally going to work abroad, stayed here for a while.
Wan Qiu felt that summer was definitely a time when a lot of things would happen.
Wan Qiu saw that the lawyer had given Chu Yi a lot of documents, and next to his parents, both parties had written their names.
Wan Qiu just looked at everything blankly.
"Yigui." Yang Xiaoyu watched the lawyer take the documents away. The matter had become an established fact. "You are really a child who is a little too serious."
Chu Yigui smiled and said, "I'll just think of it as... Aunt Yang praising me."
Yang Xiaoyu's fingers tightened quietly and then slowly relaxed.
"You will be my employee from now on. You must take good care of our baby. Do you understand?"
Yang Xiaoyu was still arrogant, and she looked at Chu Yigui with her beautiful and sharp eyes.
"Of course." Chu Yigui said with a smile.
"Thank you for all these years." However, Yang Xiaoyu's arrogance still could not be maintained in front of his children for too long, and finally Yang Xiaoyu said.
"I am really grateful to my uncle and aunt for cultivating me for so long."
Chu Yigui spoke very seriously and respectfully.
Chu Jianshu, who had been there the whole time, asked, "Do you want to change your name?"
As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to become quiet.
Chu Yigui shook his head: "This is the name I like."
"Really?" Chu Jianshu looked no different from usual. "If you regret it, I can help you anytime."
"Thank you, Uncle Chu."
Such a title made Chu Jianshu speechless.
Chu Yigui acted very calm.
In front of such a calm child, Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu were also maintaining the dignity of adults.
Wan Qiu knew that this was probably the time when he could no longer call Chu Yigui his brother.
But Wan Qiu didn't feel any reality.
Chu Yigui was still standing in front of him.
Just like yesterday, there was his younger brother who was even more handsome than the teacher, helping him with his homework.
Wan Qiu was held by Chu Yigui's hand and went to Chu Yigui's room.
Chu Yigui's room is still the same as before, with no difference.
This will still be Chu Yigui’s room in the future.
Wan Qiu didn't feel any change.
"Brother, are we going to start today's lessons?" Wan Qiu asked.
However, Chu Yigui seemed to pause and let go of Wan Qiu's hand.
"elder brother."
"Hmm?" Wan Qiu asked, looking up.
Chu Yigui smiled: "This is the last time I call you that."
Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui.
His younger brother is still tall and handsome, and he is still very affectionate when calling him brother.
But he said it was the last time.
"Then how are you going to call me from now on?" Wan Qiu didn't know.
"Do you remember when we first met?" Chu Yigui smiled and said, "I said, I am your friend."
Wan Qiu nodded.
Even though the memory was vague, Wan Qiu remembered it.
Chu Yigui was his first friend and his first very special person.
"Although we are no longer brothers, we are still friends."
"Friends..." Wan Qiu murmured. He looked at Chu Yigui and spoke slowly, "Is it special? Is it closer than others?"
Chu Yigui tilted his head and smiled, "For me, yes."
This time, Chu Yigui did not hide his little thoughts.
He still thinks so now, both in the past and now.
It was just a different state of mind, this sense of intimacy, but it gave him a different feeling.
He would no longer regard Wan Qiu's response to him as a place to stay.
He can be more innocent and closer to Wan Qiu.
"I am also closer to my brother..."
However, Wan Qiu suddenly paused.
Thinking with his not very smart brain.
"Yigui and I are special and closer than others."
Chu Yigui wanted to smile.
But he found it difficult to control his emotions and smile.
He was always loved by Wan Qiu.
This love once brought pressure.
But what it brings now is desire.
There seems to be a sour feeling that rushes to the nasal cavity and affects the tear glands.
Chu Yigui had never cried like this before.
But now, as an independent person, Chu Yigui has found a position where he can cry.
He is not without feelings for the Chu family.
Signing those names was not as smooth and steady as when he put pen to paper.
It’s actually very uncomfortable.
It’s just…better this way.
Hands that were smaller than his own cupped his cheeks.
Chu Yigui was sitting on the sofa, and before his hazy eyes he saw Wan Qiu standing in front of him.
Wan Qiu wiped away the tears flowing from his eyes with his fingers, just as he had done when Wan Qiu cried.
The warmth of the palms was not taken away by the tears.
Warm, ironing his cheeks.
Wan Qiu stood in front of him, tall and reliable.
No matter how the tears overflowed, Wan Qiu would quickly catch them.
Those clear eyes, hiding the pure white land, still reflected his shadow.
In Wan Qiu's eyes, he occupied a pure and clean world to which he could return.
