Chapter 32: Estrangement (1)
Before the story was finished, Chiaki fell asleep, probably after knowing that Kiyowa was fine, her whole body relaxed. Even when she was asleep, Kiyowa patted her on the back and continued to tell the story he wanted to talk to, "When he was about to despair, another boy appeared. The man was very gentle, and shared everything he had with him, including his parents, and just when he thought that life would get better, misfortune struck again, and the new mother died, and for fear of affecting the new father, he felt that it was time for him to leave, because he himself would bring misfortune......"
After the story was told, Kiyowa leaned against the bedside, his eyes were red, and the pain and uneasiness in his heart spread throughout his body, and when he mentioned the past, he would always be like now. He didn't want to cry in front of people, so he could only lick his wounds alone in the dark night.
He didn't know if Chiaki would be as willing to stay by his side as he had been when he knew he was a "demon". Afraid that she would find out about that fact, he hid the secret very deeply, thinking that as long as he told a false lie, they could live together forever!
When Chiaki woke up, Kiyowa had already gotten up, and the watch that had been in the drawer was on her left hand again, and if she hadn't secretly come to check for a needle hole in Kiyowa's arm last night, she might never have had a chance to see the deep and heinous scar under the watch.
"Qinghe?" He wasn't far away, and Chiaki called his name.
"What's wrong?" Qinghe asked suspiciously as he turned his head as he straightened his clothes.
"It's nothing, I just want to call you by name...... Qianqiu smiled, "Qinghe Moon means April, you only remember our birthday, why did you forget your birthday...... "It's October now, Qinghe's birthday is almost half a year past, she just brought up this matter at this time, and it always feels like it's just casual talk."
"What, do you want to make up for my birthday, or give me a birthday gift?" Qinghe pursed his lips, "I'm still quite picky about gifts, if I'm not satisfied, I don't want it......"
"So, do you have anything you want?" Chiaki asked curiously, holding her cheeks.
"How can you use such a lazy method to give gifts?" Qinghe shook his head, "I, I won't be tricked out by you so easily!" ”
"Stingy!" Chiaki grimaced at him, "If you don't say anything, I'll buy you an apron that is all lace, and it's pink." ”
"Haha...... Forget that kind of thing, I'm afraid it will affect Wanli Wanyu, after all, children are always easy to imitate. Qinghe took a few steps over and pulled the faces on both sides of Qianqiu, "If they have a dressophile in the future, don't regret it......"
"Forget it, I'll think about it again......" Chiaki was still chatting, completely forgetting to prepare breakfast.
"Then you think slowly, I'm going to wake up the little ones......" Kiyowa opened the door and saw two little ghosts with their faces pressed against the outside of his room. As soon as the door opened, the two of them fell in with an unsteady center of gravity.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Qinghe was suddenly a little surprised.
"I was thinking about where my sister went, but I didn't expect to sleep with Qing and my brother, you all slept together, when will there be a baby? Our kindergarten children say that as long as they sleep together, they will have a baby! Wan Yu's eyes widened, and he looked back and forth at Qinghe for many times, as if he really knew something.
"The baby is not something you can ask for if you want it, when the opportunity comes, it will naturally come, it's too early......" Qinghe squatted down and touched Wanyu's head, and then picked him up, "What, do you really want to have a baby at home?" ”
"Of course, when I have a baby, I'll be my brother!" Wan Yu touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.
"Stupid, you can't be an older brother if you have a baby, it should be an uncle......" Wanli glared at him and gave him a popular science. (Actually, it should be called uncle, of course, neither Qinghe nor Qianqiu specifically brought it up, because the two of them were already extremely embarrassed at this time.) )
"I don't want to be an uncle, I want to be an elder brother...... Wan Yu shouted impatiently, and pulled Qinghe's clothes, "Brother Qinghe, I want to be a brother......"
"Okay, okay, then I'll call your brother ......" Qinghe nodded, and cast an ambiguous glance at Qianqiu.
"Hey, I said, you're too used to them, just falling asleep like this, won't there be ......" Before Qianqiu finished speaking, Kiyowa winked at her, signaling that she didn't have to explain much.
After the morning episode, Qianqiu suddenly realized something, and her brows began to wrinkle, she remembered that Lin Yuan and Ye Lan had not known each other for long, and she would occasionally go to him for the night, and normal couples should be like them. And the way she gets along with Qinghe like this feels a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.
"No, no, no, they're not normal like that, we're in pure love...... "Chiaki thought for a while and then washed her brain.
"Sure enough, or is it because I'm unattractive? Neither of us even kissed mouth-to-mouth, the kiss he left on his forehead was like a goodnight kiss for a child, although there was also physical contact, but he almost just cuddled to sleep, and did not make any further movements! Chiaki found that she was still thinking a lot, but she didn't feel anything wrong.
"Wait...... He doesn't think he's going to think of me like a child...... I'm also developing normally with my breasts or something, can't he look down on it at all? Chiaki pouted and fell into deep thought, "Maybe it's because I set up a FLAG before, that's why he's like this, and he can't blame others for being like this......"
"Chiaki, don't get up, we're already going out, breakfast is on the table, remember to eat......" Kiyowa shouted downstairs, but Chiaki was still stuck in a daydream and couldn't extricate herself.
"Oh, got it......" Chiaki responded, thinking that it was still early before work time, and she planned to lie down for a while. She turned around and lay down where Qinghe had slept before, "Hmm, the taste of Qinghe, sweet ......"
"Hey...... What am I talking nonsense, it always feels like a fool's declaration......" She slapped her face hard and sat up from the bed, "Qinghe even has breakfast ready, I really like him more and more......" She hummed a song while making the bed, Qinghe has lived here for almost a year, but there are still very few things, what is there, it looks clear at a glance.
It was already half an hour after Qianqiu washed up and went downstairs, and there was a document on the dining table, which was probably forgotten by Qinghe.
"How can you be so careless, what if you wait to use it?" Chiaki took her phone out of her pocket and opened the file bag with her hand.
"Death Certificate, Death Certificate...... Han Yue, Zheng Zhe...... "When she saw those words, her head exploded, and the words on the death diagnosis were obviously only a few lines, but she read them back and forth several times, and after reading them, her head crashed....... After a long time, I picked up my phone and called Qinghe.
"Hey......" her voice trembled a little.
"What's wrong?" Qinghe turned on the car Bluetooth and picked up the phone.
"Qinghe, you put a document on the table and forgot to take it, do you need to use it when you go to work...... Where are you, I'll send it to you...... "Qinghe is now almost at the company, if he turns home, he will be late, just the documents to be used at work, he didn't bring them back yesterday, and some only have the materials that were specially sorted out and prepared to open the bank safe.
"Materials?" His heart struck and he slammed on the brakes. Because he stopped suddenly, the car behind him almost crashed into it.
"What are you doing, how do you drive a car...... Be careful! The driver behind him scolded him when he caught up.
"Hey, Kiyowa?" There was no sound on the other side of the phone for a long time, and Chiaki swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively.
"Well, I'm ......" Kiyowa pulled over to the side, "You see what's inside?" ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look at the things inside, I'm just worried that I have to ......use it in a hurry" Qianqiu originally wanted to say no, but she couldn't lie to Qinghe, so she could only explain honestly.
"That was originally going to be used, but I don't need it today, can you put it away for me? I'll come back in the evening to explain......" Qinghe's voice sounded a little hoarse, but he felt that he was pretending to be calm.
"Is it okay for me to keep it for you?" Qianqiu was still a little uneasy, so she asked more.
"It's okay......" Qinghe replied coldly, and then simply hung up the phone.
"Really, it always feels like it's too much!" The file bag was originally placed in his own room and locked up, but because he was a little stimulated yesterday, he wanted to open the bank's safe to see if there was anything valuable in it, and it was obviously going well, but in the morning Wan Yu asked him to help him get the school bag, and he actually forgot about the file bag......
"Obviously hiding it so well, she should know it all by now? How should I face her at night? Qinghe suddenly didn't know what to do, the pants were gone, why was he embarrassed to stand in front of others?
At noon, Qinghe sent a message to Qianqiu asking her to pick up the imps in the afternoon, and the phone has been turned off since then, and he didn't come back at dinner, and Qianqiu made several calls in a row, but he still didn't turn it on.
"Hey, brother, is Qinghe at home?" When it was almost ten o'clock, Qinghe still hadn't come back, and Qianqiu couldn't sit still and called Chen Yu.
"Yes, you locked yourself in your room after dinner, what, you guys quarreled?" Chen Yu was still in front of the computer rushing to the manuscript, and received a call from Zhao Qianqiu, obviously very surprised.
"No, we didn't quarrel, we just ......" Qianqiu hesitated for a while, not knowing if she could mention this matter to Chen Yu.
"Just what?" Chen Yu frowned, it was the first time he had heard of a conflict between the two of them, and he always felt like a child running a house.
"It's just that I accidentally read the documents he left at home, I think he was probably angry......" Chiaki paused, "Come over now, can you open the door for me later?" There are some things I want to tell him face-to-face......"
"What's the matter tomorrow, aren't those two little ones the only ones in the house? If you go out now, it will be a problem if they wake up and can't find anyone...... Qinghe, I'll ask first, just look at his documents, there's no need to be as angry as a child, go back and tell me about him......" After Chen Yu comforted Qianqiu a few words, he quickly hung up the phone.
"Qinghe, did you sleep?" Chen Yu knocked on Qinghe's door, there was no movement inside, fortunately, the room was not locked, so he walked straight in.
"What's wrong? Quarreled with Chiaki? He sat down on the edge of the bed, and Kiyowa wrapped himself in a ball, without even revealing his head.
"No ......," he replied in a very low voice.
"Then why did you suddenly run back and live, saying that you miss me or something, I won't admit it if I die......" Chen Yu patted Qinghe, "Qianqiu called me just now and said that I couldn't find you, and I cried...... I didn't tell her you came back to live, and I'm sure you're dying now. ”
"Then you call her and say I'm home......"
"Don't ...... Just let her worry about it for a night, who made her upset us Qinghe......" Chen Yu shook his head, "If you tell me what's going on, I can consider taking a look at ......"
"She accidentally read the document I forgot on the table, which contained my parents' death certificate and death diagnosis...... She must know what kind of person I am now, and she will avoid me like everyone else......" Qinghe was faintly uneasy, he hid in his shell like a turtle, and no one could let him crawl out of it.
"If she really wants to avoid you, she won't be looking for you all over the world! There is a difference between people and people, some cruel and some warm, I think Chiaki should be the latter. Besides, you've taken care of her for so long, and she's embarrassed to say that she'll turn her face......" Chen Yu tried to pull Qinghe's quilt, but this guy pulled it very tightly, so he couldn't do anything at all.
"Then she must be very annoying, and then embarrassed to say it, I don't want her to be so embarrassed......" Kiyowa shook his head, he was now pessimistic to despair.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door outside.
"Who, didn't my dad go on a business trip, did he come back early? Really, the habit of always forgetting to bring the key is really a headache......" Chen Yu complained slightly, got up and walked towards the door, and after opening the door, he found Qianqiu standing at the door with a file bag.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden? Isn't there a little ghost in the house......" Chen Yu wanted to say something more, but found that she had brought two little ghosts over, and the two of them looked like they had just woken up, and they were in a daze when they walked.
"I felt like I couldn't wait for tomorrow, but I was afraid that the two of them would be in danger at home, so I brought them all over." Chiaki originally wanted to laugh, but found that she couldn't laugh at all at this time.
"Qinghe is in the room, you can go......" Chen Yu shook his head and beckoned Wan Li Wanyu to go to his room to sleep, "Sister and brother may have to talk for a long time, you can go to my room to sleep for a while......"
"Is Daddy back?" After Qinghe felt someone sitting down next to him, he asked softly.
“…… No, it's me ......" Chiaki hugged Qinghe, "I looked for you for a night, and my phone turned off again, do you know how worried I am about you?" ”
"Chiaki?" Qinghe secretly thought badly, but at this moment, he had no face to get out of the bed.
"Woo woo......" Seeing that Kiyowa didn't speak, she began to cry quietly next to her.
"Okay, don't cry...... Chiaki cried like that, where did he still have the heart to pretend not to hear, and not long after, he stretched out a hand from the bed and touched Chiaki's head.
"It's me who is not good, so don't cry......" Qinghe couldn't see Qianqiu crying, he got up and pulled a few tissues over and wiped the tears on Qianqiu's face.
"Woo woo......" Qinghe comforted a little, and Qianqiu cried even more fiercely.
"Shhhh Qinghe can't cope with it, so the elder brother will say that women are actually quite troublesome.
"Are you angry?" Qianqiu jumped into Qinghe's arms, hugged him desperately, and refused to let go no matter what.
"No, I'm not angry......" Kiyowa shook his head.
"Then why didn't you come back, and even the phone was turned off?"
“…… I ...... "There are some words, Qinghe doesn't even know how to say them, even if there are a thousand words, he still has nowhere to say."
