The three of them were not in a panic, Cheng Xiaoyu still led Su Yuxi to subconsciously run in the direction of Xiaoyan's house.

It wasn't until they turned the corner into an alley that the two stopped, Cheng Xiaoyu gasped, his lungs seemed to be burning, and the feeling of being so dry that it was about to explode spread from his lungs to his respiratory tract, and even his mouth began to feel bitter.

Cheng Xiaoyu hugged Xiaoyan and led Su Yuxi, leaned against the wall in the corner and glanced at the street, pretending to know nothing and saying to Su Yuxi, "No one is chasing." As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva to moisten the dry base of his tongue, and put down Xiaoyan who was holding his neck while panting.

The two of them naturally held hands like this, no one had any intention of letting go, Su Yuxi's breathing was only slightly short, after all, she usually likes sports very much, and her body is much stronger than Cheng Xiaoyu. She glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu, whose hands and feet were a little weak, one hand propped up on her knee to adjust her breathing, and the other hand still grabbed her hand tightly and did not let go. Su Yuxi felt that this was too intimate, although she was not disgusted, although it was normal to hold hands with her brother, but she subconsciously felt that this was not appropriate.

Xiaoyan stood aside and looked at it with big curious eyes, "Sister, are you your brother's girlfriend?"

When Cheng Xiaoyu heard this, her face flushed, she let go of her hand, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Su Yuxi's expression, so she covered up her inner embarrassment, touched Xiaoyan's head and said, "This sister's name is Su Yuxi, and she is my brother's sister!"

But Xiaoyan continued to twist her beautiful little head, and asked questioningly, "Then why don't you look like you at all! Zhang Chunchun in our class looks very similar to her brother!"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer when she heard such a naïve question, thinking that she couldn't explain to her what half-brother was, so she could only look at Xiao Lori and smile and say, "Xiaoyan will understand when you grow up." ”

When Xiaoyan heard this, she was not happy, she lowered her head and grabbed the edge of the strap skirt with her two small hands, and a teardrop splashed on her very old black leather shoes.

Cheng Xiaoyu is not good at dealing with children, she cried inexplicably when she saw Xiaoyan, a little at a loss, and she wanted to say something but didn't say it.

Su Yuxi gently squatted down and held Xiaoyan's arm and said, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan?"

Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes with one hand, sobbed and said, "Mom also always said that Xiaoyan will understand when she grows up, but before Xiaoyan grows up, her mother is gone." ”

Su Yuxi stretched out her hand to hold Xiaoyan in her arms, and asked cautiously, "Who else is in Xiaoyan's family?"

Xiaoyan gradually calmed down in Su Yuxi's good smell and in her warm embrace, and said in her immature voice, "And grandma." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he couldn't be indifferent, and said to Su Yuxi, who was holding Xiaoyan, "Let's go to Xiaoyan's house to have a look." ”

Su Yuxi nodded, stood up and held Xiaoyan's little hand.

Xiao Yan naturally reached out to take Cheng Xiaoyu again, Cheng Xiaoyu gently held Xiao Yan's hand, and the three of them walked towards the depths of the alley under the flickering street lamp. Cheng Xiaoyu was carrying a worn-out guitar, Su Yuxi was carrying a small red bucket, the flowers in the bucket had long since fallen, and the two of them led Xiaoyan in the middle, one left and one right, looking like a happy and happy family from a distance.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he hadn't gone far last time, but today's journey, this alley is extraordinarily long, this is a dilapidated tube building, the corridor is full of debris, and many of the sensor lights are out of order, even if they can be lit, they can only emit some faint and dim light. Cheng Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and opened the flashlight APP on it to move here without hindrance.

When she arrived at Xiaoyan's house, Cheng Xiaoyu felt even more uncomfortable, and less than forty square meters hinted that a wrinkled grandmother was lying on the bed where she stood in most of the room. Xiaoyan lit the candle with a familiar car, and Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't bear to ask, "Why don't you turn on the lights." I just silently turned on the flashlight on my phone again.

The old grandmother lying on the bed saw a stranger coming, and struggled to sit up, Xiaoyan immediately walked over and helped her to sit against the head of the bed.

The old grandmother smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi, Cheng Xiaoyu really couldn't laugh, there was almost no furniture in this room, a dilapidated bookcase and a simple plastic wardrobe, Cheng Xiaoyu pressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Grandma, hello, because my sister and I like Xiaoyan very much, originally I came here to give you a sum of money, but now I think if I can, can I do more things and take care of Xiaoyan." Rest assured, we're not bad guys. ”

Time has been deeply engraved into Xiaoyan's grandmother's face like a ravine, gray hair and only dry skin wrapped around her arms, but her spirit was not bad, she didn't look at Cheng Xiaoyu a few times, but stared at Su Yuxi for a long time.

Xiaoyan's grandmother coughed, Xiaoyan gently hammered her back, and her grandmother took Xiaoyan's hand and said, "My Xiaoyan is a child with a hard life, his father is Korean, and he has never come back since he returned to China, my daughter died of cancer two years ago, and now we are left with our grandchildren and grandchildren, and I feel that I don't have much time to live, but Xiaoyan, I really can't rest assured." I see that you two are still students, and you still have to take care of yourself first, and I am saying that my old bones can be tossed for a few years, and I will appreciate your kindness. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "My grandfather is Su Dongshan, the former mayor of the capital, and my uncle is Su Changqing, the current minister of the Central Propaganda Department. I mean I won't let your grandparents be separated, I will arrange a better residence with you in the capital, and I will arrange a nursing care with you to take care of you, Xiaoyan's tuition fees including a qiē expenses I cover, and she will not leave you, you don't have to worry. ”

Xiaoyan's grandmother looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's sincere smile, and her face bloomed, Su Dongshan still knew it, and such conditions were simply impossible to refuse. If Cheng Xiaoyu came alone, she might not believe it, but with Su Yuxi next to her, it would be different, such a beautiful and temperamental girl is undoubtedly from a big family. Besides, Cheng Xiaoyu's arrangement is really too much to her heart, but how can such a great kindness be repaid?

Xiaoyan's grandmother is almost eighty years old, and she thinks she hasn't missed anyone, so she didn't want her daughter to be with the one surnamed Pu, but her daughter didn't listen. She looked at the childish Cheng Xiaoyu with blazing eyes. But there was no clue in his calm expression, she had been observing him, although he looked very young, but his speech and demeanor were very mature.

And Su Yuxi next to her was from an extraordinary background at a glance, such a girl can't be raised by ordinary people. So Xiaoyan's grandmother said, "As long as Xiaoyan is willing, my grandmother has no opinion, anyway, everyone has their own lives, and how to go is her own choice, and I may not be able to see her grow up when she grows up." When my grandmother said this, she was very calm and light, and she did not complain about the sadness of fate at all.

Xiaoyan's mind was already in turmoil, and she was still young, so she didn't listen to Cheng Xiaoyu's meaning, she just thought that her grandmother wanted her to live with Xiaoyu's brother, but she grabbed her grandmother's thin hand and said hurriedly, "Grandma, Xiaoyan is not going anywhere, Xiaoyan is here to take care of grandma." ”

Grandma touched Xiaoyan's head with a happy smile and said kindly, "Silly child." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu also smiled and walked up to Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, my brother means that my grandmother will also be taken care of by my brother." Tomorrow, my brother will arrange for my grandmother to go to the hospital, okay?"

Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with tears in her eyes and said, "Really, brother, can the hospital cure grandma's illness?"

Cheng Xiaoyu stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on Xiaoyan's face, nodded lightly and said, "Of course, grandma still wants to see Xiaoyan grow up, and she will watch Xiaoyan get married and start a family in the future!"

Xiaoyan burst into tears and said with a smile, "I won't marry anyone, if my sister doesn't marry my brother, Xiaoyan will marry my brother." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing happily, there was a stool in the room, and Xiaoyan obediently moved it over for Su Yuxi to sit down. Cheng Xiaoyu asked her grandmother for more information about Xiaoyan, and learned that Xiaoyan's full name is "Park Zhiyan", and she is now 11 years old and has just finished the fifth grade.

Cheng Xiaoyu left her phone number and said that she would send someone to pick up her grandmother to the hospital tomorrow, and she was arranging for Xiaoyan to follow them to live in the hotel first, and then arrange a place for them.

The two said goodbye to Xiaoyan's grandmother, and her grandmother thanked her with tears in her eyes. Xiaoyan reluctantly sent Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi to the staircase. Cheng Xiaoyu told Xiaoyan not to sell flowers tomorrow, Xiaoyan also happily agreed, and when she left, Xiaoyan asked a little nervously, "Brother and sister, will you really come tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu had already taken a few steps down the stairs, and at this time he turned around and stepped on the stairs with a smile, leaned forward, and stretched out his hand to pull the hook with Park Zhiyan, "Zhiyan, my brother won't lie to you, come and let's pull the hook." ”

Su Yuxi looked at the gray and rough cement corridor, under the faint dim yellow ceiling lamp, covered with messy cobwebs, and a moth was trying its best to fly towards the light.

Cheng Xiaoyu pulled the hook with the little Lori Park Zhiyan with a solemn face, as if she had concluded some kind of solemn contract with her.
