Poking her head out of the kitchen door, Xi Zilin saw Xiao Yun returning, put down the planer in her hand and looked upstairs: "Mom, Qin Muzhi's eldest brother is back?" ”

Listening to what the fat sister said, I was about to prepare a few more dishes.

"You came back about ten minutes before you came back. 燠"

Xi Zilin didn't speak, the meaning on her expression was polite, do you need her to go upstairs to see her?

Xiao Yun instructed the fat sister: "Four dishes and one soup are enough, Mu Qing's work is special, and the itinerary is secret and tight, so he is about to leave." Beautiful"

Xi Zilin pondered, then there was no need to go upstairs to say hello.

She turned around and continued to shave the carrots, and the fat sister shaved out thin roots, and hers was all 'little fingers'.

I heard the fat sister talk about the eldest young master in the family just now, and the fat sister's tone showed pride, and Xi Zilin could vaguely hear that the eldest young man of the Qin family should be in the high-level secret intelligence department, and he is still a person who specializes in handling important secret affairs for the country.

In Xi Zilin's eyes, everyone is an agent, and she doesn't think it's too much.

For some time before, she had a close contact with Hong Kong's Z Zhi on several missions, and she had a little understanding of the intelligence group directly under the Central Committee of the mainland.

Qin Muqing should be a big figure in the so-called BU.

anyay！ Her man is Qin Muzhi, Qin Muqing or something, what does she look like It's a bird matter for her, look at how loyal she is, Qin Muzhi, you stupid person who doesn't know good women!

……**……

The entrance to the study on the second floor.

The light and shadow of the wall lamp showed the thick and straight outline of the man, Qin Muzhi didn't stop, knocked on the door directly, and pushed the door in after the second sound.

Qin Mutian's study is not big, and the integrated Zhou Zhou is upright, and he can see it all at a glance casually.

The back of the man standing in front of the desk was about his size, dressed in an iron-gray slim-fitting suit, and there was no one beside him.

Qin Muzhi walked in and called Dad.

Qin Mutian frowned, seeing that he didn't call another person in the room, but knowing the friction between the two sons, he didn't say anything, and nodded, "Come in, your brother just came back." ”

The figure in front of the desk turned around, it was a handsome face, and the outline lines were not too resolute and cold as the men of the Qin family, and they were sven, especially today with a pair of metal-framed glasses.

"Mu Zhi." The voice was low and mellow, with a smile.

Qin Muzhi pondered for a while and called Brother Sheng.

The two young men stood together, Qin Muzhi's body was one or two centimeters taller, and his body was stronger than Qin Muqing's, and there was also a difference between the sharpness of his eyebrows and Qin Muqing's inconspicuousness.

One is camouflage military pants and military boots, a black coat, and the other is a suit and leather shoes.

Qin Mutian was in a good mood today, asked his two sons to sit down, and played the inside line again to ask the orderlies to put the chessboard up.

"Mu Qing, in the next game, Mu Zhi, you watch the game."

Qin Muqing glanced at his watch, "Dad, I have to go." ”

Qin Mutian's smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly certain, and he sighed: "Time is too fast." ”

"Dad,"

Qin Mutian waved his hand, looked at the brilliance in his eldest son's eyes, and said, "You are busy, I know, do things for the country well, we Qin family men should be like this." ”

Qin Muqing opened the door and went out.

Qin Muzhi watched the old man spin the swivel chair and face the window, he didn't move.

The old man's voice came, "Mu Zhi, send Mu Qing away." ”

Qin Muzhi turned around, listened to the old man's words again, and faced him with a rare calm vicissitudes, "Your brother will fly directly to Japan to participate in the Nine Nations Conference, he represents the country, and decided to supply malaria drugs to the Middle East and Africa in the next ten years, what he did is what makes me proud, it's not that you don't do your job, Dad wants you to enter the orthodox state department, your ability is immeasurable, you have to use the right platform, like your brother." ”

Qin Muzhi walked out, closed the door, and put his hand in his pocket with an expressionless face.

The man's resolute facial features were revealed in the light, and the uninhibited between his eyebrows was revealed.

How to say it, he is not ashamed of everything that takes Qin Muqing as a benchmark, and he wants to do it in reverse.

Cause?

It starts with one day after Qin Muqing entered the house many years ago.

On the day Qin Mutian brought Qin Muqing home, five-year-old Qin Muzhi came home playing football and was covered in mud, and when he saw a boy who was about the same size as him and wearing coarse cloth clothes, Qin Muzhi watched at the door for a long time, and finally kicked the football under his feet gently.

Five-year-old Qin Muzhi has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he doesn't like to laugh very much, so his mother introduced him that day

After tangling, he showed a friendly smile to Qin Muqing.

As Qin Mutian wished, the relationship between the two little brothers was good after they met.

Qin Muzhi thinks that the eldest brother is very good, as his mother praised, sensible, can do housework, and loves to read.

In his eyes, the eldest brother is even more amazing, he can make slingshots, simple mountain bikes, he doesn't have marbles to play with the eldest brother's pockets are always piled up, and most importantly, the eldest brother will help him with his homework.

Qin Muqing helped Qin Muzhi write his homework until the fifth grade, until the primary school entrance examination, which was a five-year primary school at that time.

Qin Muzhi, who had never studied seriously, was the first in the school and Qin Muqing second.

When the certificate was handed over from the principal, the two brothers and the third place won a photo together.

Qin Muzhi was happy that day, and he was also happy to pay attention to his eldest brother's expression in school, he was coarse and simple-minded, so he thought that his eldest brother was really happy.

After school, he went to play in the game hall, and when he got home, there was no one, and there was no sound from the bird he had secretly kept in the bird cage outside the window.

Tired of playing, he fell asleep in bed, and was awakened by a burst of blood.

Later, when he pushed open the door of his eldest brother's room, he kept the memory of that moment for many years.

Qin Muqing was in the room, I don't know when he came back, he was lying in front of the desk, killing the little bird he raised, and the side face he reflected in Qin Muzhi's eyes was indeed enjoying and laughing.

Qin Muzhi closed the door very lightly that day.

Later, he thought about it and quickly forgave Qin Muqing, the brotherhood is still there, and the eldest brother may just be jealous and can't control it, and the gap from the first place to the second place is gone.

In the three years of junior high school, Qin Muzhi's academic performance was the bottom, and he was even more playful, and he was often cleaned up by Qin Mutian, he was bored, and he was too kind at that time, remembering his mother Xiao Yun's teaching, the harmony of a family depends on maintenance.

What's more, the eldest brother treats him well in other ways, and the fifth grade time may have been an accident.

Until, when he came back from the army at the age of twenty-five, he brought back a girl.

Qin Muzhi knew that it was not an accident that the bird that killed him in the fifth grade, Qin Muqing was a person......

"Mu Zhi."

Qin Muzhi's eyes sank, and a few steps down the stairs, the man's hand was on the railing of the stairs, and between his fingers was a cigarette, and the lenses were reflective, lining the somewhat narrow eyes, which seemed to be the same smile that had not been seen for a long time.

Qin Muzhi paused for a while, went down a few steps, and was at the same level as him, "Haven't left yet?" ”

Qin Muqing handed over the cigarette, he took it, and listened to him, "I'm coming back for you this time." ”

Qin Muzhi lifted his eyelids.

Qin Muqing smiled, "Aunt Xiao contacted me last time my father was investigated, but later I heard that you were getting married, so I came back to meet my younger siblings." ”

Qin Muzhi didn't say anything, he was amused in his heart, thinking that the old man upstairs just now was almost moved to tears when his eldest son returned home.

"What about my brother and sister? I heard that it is the second lady of the Xi family in Hong Kong, your kid is not small, where is it, call it out and I will see you. ”

The voice of the woman in the kitchen came silently, Qin Muzhi smoked a cigarette and inadvertently went down a step, stood in the middle and turned around, just blocking the view of the kitchen, he looked at Qin Muqing, "Big brother, it seems that the women around me, one by one, are all interested." ”

"Not necessarily." Qin Muqing's expression didn't change, the smile seemed to deepen, he touched the orange peel on his lips, squinted his eyes and said, "To her...... Actually, I didn't have any special interest, why did she change her mind and climb my ...... back then? Mu Zhi, at that time, everyone was not mature enough, I have repented over the years, and I am very sorry for you. I know you still can't accept it now, and I'm paying the price for it, Mie left me and went abroad, and I ......"

Qin Muzhi smoked, and the first few words made him too lazy to sneer in his heart, he looked down on men like Qin Muqing in his heart.

The clouds are treacherous, the heart is different, like a girl, but, because of this, I have the ability to climb so high.

With a big puff of smoke, he dusted off the ashes of his cigarette and said in a smiling tone, "Didn't you get your wish to be with her?" ”

"Nope."

Qin Muzhi spit out half of the smoke in his mouth, and his eyes froze, not believing.

Qin Muqing stared at his younger brother's face, his eyes behind the lenses, and the tail of his eyes was narrow: "Now she and I are not in the same department, I heard that she is still single." What, you have no contact with her, so many years? ”

Qin Mu's move was a cigarette, and the soot piled up, and it was going to fall off soon.

Qin Muzhi twisted his cigarette and went downstairs, then stopped and turned around, "I heard that the second lady of the Xi family is unbelievably beautiful, let me tell you what you are doing, you are a person who is about to get married."

”

The door opened and closed, and the wind brought in blew from behind him, and the cigarette ash drifted away, and after a long time, Qin Muzhi rolled his eyes and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray in the air.

The restaurant was hot and mumbling, and the woman's crisp crooked Mandarin coaxed the grandmother to laugh.

"Qin Muzhi! It's time to eat! Xi Zilin held the rice spoon and poked her head out.

Seeing that the man twisted his cigarette and was about to go upstairs with his hands in his pockets, Xi Zilin called him again.

He couldn't hear it, his eyebrows were furrowed, his outline was gloomy, and his eyes under the short stiff forehead were a little stunned, deep and gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Qin Mu ......"

"Eat, don't bother me."

Xi Zilin muttered, watched him step by step, went upstairs in a heavy face, and looked worried, what's wrong, is he in a bad mood?

……**……

For dinner, Xi Zilin hurriedly put down her chopsticks, politely asked the elders to eat slowly, and attended by herself.

"This girl, why didn't you eat a bite of the steamed eggs that she made more than ten times?" Grandma stopped her, "Zilin, it's okay, what's wrong with your body, right?" ”

"Nope. Grandma, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. ”

Xi Zilin thinks that love is a very annoying thing, her sweetheart has something on her mind, and she also has something on her mind.

The mood followed the man, happy and sad.

No wonder Aya used to laugh and envy her, at that time, she really didn't know that love was such a sweet and irritating thing.

She leaned on the door of the man's room and listened to the movement, but she didn't see any movement for a long time.

Xi Zilin frowned, wasn't she okay when she came back from the bar, but she was scolded by the old man in the study just now?

But at the dinner table, I saw that the old man was in a good mood.

Xi Zilin returned to the room, couldn't think of a reason, turned around, and finally jumped in her head, went downstairs, and slipped to the backyard.

The window of his room was open!

He's standing by the window!

Xi Zilin wanted to call him, stopped his voice, and saw that he was looking at the blue and undulating outline of the night in the distance, holding the mobile phone, staring down at the screen from time to time, his eyebrows were deep, and he had never seen him look melancholy.

Xi Zilin squatted down among the flowers, looking at him quietly with her chin on her chin, at this time, he was very unpredictable and a little deep.

I don't know how long he stared at his phone, and when he put away his phone and opened the window, Xi Zilin's feet wanted to hide, his feet were a little numb, damn it, he was so stupidly found by the man's sight.

She held up her hands, "...... hi……”

The man who looked down collected the contemplation from his face and stared at her with a blank expression.

She stood up, embarrassed, "too full, walk around the yard." ”

"It's a weed." Qin Muzhi looked at her coldly and glanced around her.

"I just like the grass and trees!" Xi Zilin twisted her waist and breathed heavily, "The air is so good at night, why don't you come down and breathe, haha......"

Smack, the window closes.

"......" - really iron-faced and ruthless.

Hmph, she continued to twist hers, and when she looked up, the man was not gone, and his cold eyes were still looking at her, as if to see how bored she was.

Yes! Singing and dancing Bojun smiled, don't make you amuse, I Xi Zilin has no ability!

From just fucking to the three bears, to riding a horse and dancing with the little apple, I danced all over again, exaggerated movements and exaggerated expressions, and finally, the upstairs window behind the face, the cold and hard outline lines couldn't hold back, opened the window and roared: "Okay, where did you learn these shrugging movements, it's unsightly, what a system!" ”

She was sweating profusely and stuck out her tongue at him, and when she saw that he couldn't help laughing, she also laughed in her heart.

She felt sick and stupid.

The man was silent for a while, lowered his head again, and his eyes fell on her pretty and pointed face in the night, a little deep, and said, "You come up." ”

"Me? Go to your room? The woman couldn't believe it, and the joyful little tail wagged behind her buttocks, and shouted as she turned and ran: "Immediately, immediately!" Husband, am I going to sleep in your room tonight? ”

Qin Muzhi's head was full of black lines, rubbing his eyebrows, and helplessness had become a habit.

In fact, Xi Zilin was joking, seeing that he was in a low mood all night.

After entering his room, she saw a black charcoal face, which was her usual appearance, she hugged his arm with a grin, and her big eyes flashed like a cat: "Husband."

What did you tell me to come up? ”

"What are you doing next to you, sit down over there! I have something to say. "Disgusted and discarded.

Xi Zilin picked the position next to his pillow, and after sitting down, he secretly touched his pillow, as if he had touched his handsome face, and there was his smell on it~

With a pink face, he looked up at her, and his voice was the same as that of a cat, "What are you going to say?" Why don't you sit down and get closer? ”

"......" Qin Muzhi's face was gloomy, his ears were used to it, and he didn't take it seriously.

The man stood in the center of the room, his tall figure blocked the light above his head, the white light that leaked out illuminated his facial features bright and sharp, and it was also extremely cold, he looked down and looked at what she said, "Xi Zilin, I'm not joking, don't turn a deaf ear, I don't like you, whether it hurts or not, it's a fact, I hope you understand, go back to Hong Kong by yourself." ”

Xi Zilin's smiling face slowly put away her smile.

What his face looked like, she could see clearly, this time it seemed to be really different, he was a little impersonal and said that he didn't like her.

It's so straightforward, and it's really hurtful.

The room was quiet, and I couldn't hear my breath.
