In her memory, she seems to have gotten used to Qu Xiaoyu's poisonous tongue, companionship, and his kindness to herself.

I still remember that once when I was a child, Qu Xiaotang changed his teeth, and his mouth was bulging, which looked very ugly.

As soon as the neighbor's children saw Qu Xiaotang, they all ran away crying.

Or Qu Xiaoyu took his hand and ran on the street together.

It's been more than ten years.

In her life, she has long been accustomed to Qu Xiaoyu's existence. But now everyone is telling themselves that Qu Xiaoyu is not her own brother, which makes her face Qu Xiaoyu in the future, and how should the two get along?

In the haze, she seemed to have returned to her year of high school, and the two made an appointment to go to the riverside for New Year's Eve.

When Qu Xiaoyu passed by a stall selling fireworks, she saw Qu Xiaotang's shining eyes and helped her buy a bunch of fireworks.

Dressed in thick cotton clothes, the two sat by the river and counted the fireworks.

At the beginning of the New Year's countdown, Qu Xiaotang lit a firework.

Through the sparks that bloomed, she heard Qu Xiaoyu say "Happy New Year" to herself.

Then, she closed her eyes and made a wish in the midst of the sparks.

She thought that she would never be separated from Qu Xiaoyu in her life.

But without the relationship of family, where should she and Qu Xiaoyu go in the future?

Will Grandpa ...... Send Qu Xiaoyu back to his original home?

Qu Xiaotang didn't dare to think about it.

She didn't even know what kind of feelings she had for Qu Xiaoyu.

Qu Xiaotang sat on the bed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Late at night, the moon climbed the branches. A few cicadas chirped occasionally outside the window, setting off the summer night.

Qu Xiaotang was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

She felt like she had been in a dream for so many years. In this dream, there are only her and Qu Xiaoyu. In the dream, they are still sisters and brothers, protecting each other and understanding each other.

But when Qu Xiaoyu wakes up tomorrow and knows that he has found out that he is not the Qu family, will he start to alienate himself?

Qu Xiaotang breathed heavily, like a dehydrated fish.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Yongli walked in with a bowl of porridge.

"Mom." Qu Xiaotang's voice was mixed with a hint of choking.

Liu Yongli put down the porridge in his hand and sat next to Qu Xiaotang: "Mom knows that Xiaotang and Xiaoyu have lived together for so many years, and it is normal to be unacceptable for a while. But Xiaotang, you have to be strong. Xiaoyu is out of danger now, and when he wakes up, he will definitely want to see you the most. ”

"But Mom, I don't know what to do. All these years, you have been hiding from me, have you ever thought about my feelings? Even if Qu Xiaoyu is not my younger brother, I will treat him as a family member. But you didn't plan to tell me from beginning to end, if I hadn't found out, you probably wanted to hide it from me for the rest of your life, right? What I care about is not Qu Xiaoyu's life experience, but your attitude towards me. Qu Xiaotang choked back tears.

"Mom knows your mood now, when your grandfather hugged Xiaoyu to me, I reacted the same way as you. I can't believe it and it's hard to accept. But for so many years, my mother has already regarded him as her own child, he is my son, my mother's baby, just like you. Liu Yongli sighed.

Qu Xiaotang pondered for a moment: "That mother...... What was Xiaoyu like when she first came to Qujia? ”

"When Xiaoyu first came, you were only a year old. Your grandfather was covered in blood at that time, so he took him to me, saying that this would be my child from now on. At that time, Xiaoyu was only three months old, a small one, who couldn't cry or make trouble, just quietly looked at me with big eyes, and spit bubbles. As soon as I saw him, my whole heart melted. Liu Yongli remembered that time, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a motherly smile.

Qu Xiaotang also seemed to be sensitive: "This stinky boy was so cute when he was a child." ”

"Yes, Xiaoyu is indeed more obedient than you. I, ah, I have been reluctant to beat him since I was a child. This kid is also angry and never messes around. By the way, the name Xiaoyu was also chosen by your grandfather himself. His old man really attaches great importance to this child. Liu Yongli smiled.

"Xiaoyu is so likable, everyone should like him. But how did Grandpa pick him up? Qu Xiaotang remembered this suspicion.

Liu Yongli sighed: "I don't know much about this, and you also know that we don't dare to ask the head of the family about any decision made easily." I only know that Xiaoyu must be very important to your grandfather. Over the years, you have grown up well, which is already my greatest gratification. ”

"Mom, how did Xiaoyu know about these things?" Qu Xiaotang continued to ask.

Liu Yongli thought for a while: "It was probably when he was ten years old." While we were talking in the compound, he happened to hear us. Your grandfather didn't want to hide anything from him, so he just told him everything. Xiaoyu's child is also miserable, knowing that he is a child who was carried, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he didn't ask his parents. Over the years, he has endured too much alone. ”
