"It's so strange, why didn't the kid come to pick you up?" Yue Qingxuan looked at Qi Huange strangely and packed her backpack, in the past, when they were on summer vacation, Xiao Ai would come here to play for a while on weekends, and then take Qi Huange back.

Qi Huange put the bag on his back and said lightly: "Xiao Ai's overseas travel has begun." ”

"Poof, I said, by the way, aren't you coming back tonight?" Yue Qingxuan stopped the programming in her hand.

"It depends, I'll call you then." Qi Huange smiled at her and went out. Every time Qi Huange just has a summer vacation, he will go home, like a customary ceremony.

The afternoon sun fell overwhelmingly to the ground, Qi Huange did not hold a parasol, although the umbrella was in her backpack, the heat eroded her, and sweat seeped out of her delicate pores.

"Cheers? What's wrong with you not playing parasols? A handful of shade bloomed above Qi Huange's head.

Qi Huange turned his head, "Classmate Qin? What's wrong with you here? ”

Qin Ya propped the parasol on top of the two of them, and said with a smile: "The summer tutor I was looking for is in this community." ”

Qi Huange nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Are you going home?" Qin Ya obviously didn't intend to end the conversation there.

"Yes." Qi Huange responded lightly.

Qin Ya lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, and sent the umbrella handle to Qi Huange: "The parasol is borrowed from you, with so much sun, you are not afraid of heat stroke." ”

"Thanks, I have an umbrella in my bag." Qi Huange smiled and shook his head, and politely rejected Qin Ya's kindness: "I'm going home, goodbye to classmate Qin." After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.

Qin Ya looked at Qi Huange's back, the corners of her lips hooked up a lonely smile, and her hand that didn't hold an umbrella waved weakly at Qi Huange's figure, "Bye." She said softly.

"Why don't you call me to pick you up? Look at your hot sweat, go take a shower first, and I'll take out the watermelon in the refrigerator. Mo Xingyun saw Qi Huange's face covered with sweat when he came back, and said distressedly.

Qi Huange nodded, glanced in the living room, didn't see Qi Yuanyi, there were no slippers in the hallway, it seemed that she was in the study or bedroom.

When Qi Huange came down to eat watermelon after taking a shower, Qi Yuanyi came out of the study, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after seeing Qi Huange: "Are you back?" Hot or not? ”

"It's fine." Qi Huange turned his head awkwardly and looked down at the watermelon.

Mo Xingyun hurriedly dragged Qi Yuanyi over: "Come on, come on, Yiyi, you can also eat some watermelon, you are tired in the study all morning." ”

Qi Yuanyi glanced at Mo Xingyun, but still sat down, picked up a piece of watermelon and said to Qi Huange: "Regarding your internship in the hospital this summer, I have already talked to your dean and Director Wang of the outpatient clinic. ”

Qi Huange's hand paused, and he didn't speak, waiting for Qi Yuanyi's next words.

"Since you want to go to the emergency department, I have no objection, when you intern in your senior year, your dean will arrange for you to go over, and you will go to the surgical outpatient clinic for internship this summer, and Dr. Yan will take you as a result of Director Wang's arrangement, but you can't fall behind in the course of the postgraduate entrance examination." Qi Yuanyi's voice was very calm.

Qi Huange's eyes flashed with disbelief, and she looked up at Qi Yuanyi with some surprise, "You ......" Soon her eyes became quiet, and she said lightly: "Thank you." No wonder she was surprised, you must know that Qi Yuanyi almost broke off relations with her when she knew that she had decided to choose clinical medicine without authorization, but now...... Is she trying to make amends? Qi Huange immediately denied this answer in her heart, in her understanding of her mother, she would not make up for this emotion at all.

"I'm done, I'll go up first," Qi Huange wiped his hands and got up to leave.

Qi Yuanyi spoke up: "Let's go home and live in the future." ”

Qi Huange bit his lip and said softly: "No, it's more convenient for me there." Then he went upstairs.

Qi Yuanyi's body tensed, put the watermelon in his hand on the table, and sighed heavily.

The most painful hurt is not necessarily a fierce quarrel, and the indifference of the Cold War is even more stinging.

Mo Xingyun stretched out his hand in distress and hugged her in his arms, and kissed Qi Yuanyi's meticulous sideburns: "Yiyi, in fact, the song is also ...... Otherwise, we'll ......."

"No!" Qi Yuanyi grabbed Mo Xingyun's hand violently and shook his head slowly, but the look in his eyes was resolute.

Mo Xingyun sighed lightly in her heart, and hugged Qi Yuanyi even more distressedly, after so many years, her Yiyi was still so insecure.

The more insecure you are, the tighter you want to hold on, and the more damage you cause.

"Xiao Ai? Why don't you sleep yet? Aren't you tired after a day of playing? Liu Le slept in a daze and found that Liu Xiaoai had not slept yet, asked in a low voice, and carefully looked at Zuo Xiangjing beside him to see if he had been woken up.

Liu Xiaoai slept between Liu Le and Zuo Xiangjing, and now she saw that Liu Le was awake, and whispered in Liu Le's ear: "Mom, I want to make a call." ”

Liu Le thought with her toes that she knew who she wanted to call, opened her eyes, reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, and then took her mobile phone to Liu Xiaoai: "Go to the bathroom to call, don't disturb me to sleep with your mother." ”

Liu Xiaoai smiled and kissed Liu Le's face gently, and quickly took her mobile phone and slipped out of bed, it was so painful to sleep between her mother and her mother, her mother was not honest in sleeping, and she always pressed her legs on herself.

As soon as Liu Xiaoai got out of bed, Liu Le's body leaned over to Zuo Xiangjing's side, and her arm habitually hugged Zuo Xiangjing, and Zuo Xiangjing felt Liu Le's movements in her sleep, and also habitually raised her head, so that she put her arm on her neck and lowered it, and leaned towards Liu Le, and the whole person nested in Liu Le's arms.

During the whole process, neither of them opened their eyes, and even said that they were both asleep, all relying on their physical instincts and memories.

Liu Xiaoai has been calculating the time difference between her location and City B since she went to bed, and as soon as she dialed Qi Huange's mobile phone, Liu Xiaoai couldn't wait to shout: "Senior sister, I am Xiao Ai." ”

Qi Huange was reading a book, and when he saw Aunt Liu's number calling, he knew that it was Liu Xiaoai as soon as he guessed it, and as soon as he connected it, he heard the eager voice of the child he missed, and couldn't help laughing: "I know you are Xiao Ai, it should be late at night when you are there, right?" Still not resting? ”

"Senior sister, I'...... I miss you......" Liu Xiaoai looked out of the bathroom window, there were still people dancing around the bonfire on the beach in the distance, her heart was empty, and after whispering that she missed it, she found that her heart was even more empty and lonely.

Putting the book down, Qi Huange took the photo of her and Liu Xiaoai on the desk, gently stroked the mushroom-hairstyle smirking Xiao Ai inside, and the corners of her lips hooked up a gentle smile: "I miss you too." ”

A sentence instantly filled Liu Xiaoai's empty heart, and that strange feeling lifted her spirits, she spread the bath towel on the clean floor of the bathroom, and then sat cross-legged on it, supporting her chin with her little hands, and said the fun things that happened these days to Qi Huan in detail.

Qi Huange got up from his seat, leaned on the table, wrapped his left arm around his waist, held his mobile phone with his right arm on his left arm, and listened quietly to Liu Xiaoai with a smile on his face, without a trace of impatience.

In front of Liu Xiaoai, she plays a variety of roles, and when Xiao Ai is bullied, she is the protector; When Xiao Ai is happy, she is the listener; When little Ai is sad, she is a comforter; When Xiao Ai was confused, she was the guide.

Since they entered each other's life tracks six years ago, Qi Huange has been Liu Xiaoai's guardian.

As long as she wants, as long as she has.

Qi Huange has never been stingy with Liu Xiaoai.

Two hours later, Qi Huange interrupted Liu Xiaoai's desire to continue*, and chuckled: "Xiaoai, sleep-deprived children don't grow tall, don't you go to sleep yet?" ”

"Senior sister, I ......" Although she said that she wanted to grow taller, she wanted to chat with her senior sister even more.

"Well, when you come back, you can sleep with me every day." Qi Huan coaxed Xiao Ai.

Liu Xiaoai frowned and pouted, and said reluctantly, "Hmm...... Well, don't forget about it. ”

"Well, how could I forget what I promised Xiao Ai."

"That'...... I went to sleep. ”

"Good night."

The gentle two words passed through the mobile phone signal of Liu Xiaoai's heart, she covered her mouth and laughed quietly, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do? After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Xiaoai walked out of the bathroom lightly, and when she came to the bed, she was dumbfounded.

The little mother was sleeping soundly with her mother, and the place where they slept between the two had long been occupied by the little mother.

Angrily pulled the quilt and lay on the side of the bed, Liu Xiaoai decided that she would insist on saying more bad things about her mother in front of her mother in the future, and let her mother drive her mother out of bed, hum!

Putting down the phone, Qi Huange rubbed his arm that was sore from holding the phone, and his eyes were fixed on the photo of her and Liu Xiaoai on the desk.

Qi Huange in the photo is wearing a ponytail, with Qi bangs, a warm smile on his green face, Liu Xiaoai with his left hand holding the mushroom head, Liu Xiaoai grinning and smirking, at that time, Qi Huange was 16 years old, Liu Xiaoai was 13 years old, and they had just entered the second year of each other's lives.

The sun is spreading freely, and the memories are like ink to the ......

"Senior sister, come on, my mother said she wanted to take pictures of us," the little mushroom head Liu Xiaoai pulled Qi Huange out from next door.

Qi Huange looked at the excited Liu Xiaoai helplessly, and reminded nervously: "Be careful of the steps, don't fall." ”

"I know, I know, let's go, otherwise my mother will leave with the camera in a while."

"Come on, the two of you stand there," Liu Le pointed out the position of the two children, and then dimmed the light, "The two of you are closer, Xiao Ai, don't hold Huange's arm, you can't see your face, Huange hugs Xiao Ai, right, right...... Laughing, yes, laughing is pretty......"

"Click", the figures of the two people have been frozen in that photo frame since then, this is the first time Qi Huange and Liu Xiaoai have taken a group photo, and it is also the only group photo.

Qi Huange doesn't like to take selfies and rarely takes pictures, but she likes to take pictures of Liu Xiaoai, so more than three-quarters of her mobile phone album are photos of Liu Xiaoai, and the other quarter are many cases and knowledge that she didn't have time to remember in class.
