Liu Changqing stopped rubbing his palms, raised his head and looked at Lan Yixian who said this.

The expression was a little weird.

"I'm not rubbing dust."

"Then you're ......"

"It's nothing, you just treat me as dust."

Liu Changqing, who just wanted to explain, suddenly remembered that he had no need to explain to the other party at all.

Instead, he asked.

"It's a big night, you can't sleep?"

"Drinking too much water......"

"Got it."

After the other party said that he drank too much water, Liu Changqing knew what he meant.

"Then you can go quickly."

"Hmm."

Nodding, Lan Yixian answered.

When he was about to turn around to go to the toilet, his eyes swept to the two tadpoles in the plastic bottle.

When cleaning, Lan Yixian had already discovered the existence of this thing, and she also watched Liu Changqing's daughter carefully throw food into the plastic cup.

At that time, she didn't ask much, because Lan Yixian could feel that Liu Changqing's daughter didn't seem to like her very much.

But when you encounter such a curious thing, you will feel a little uncomfortable not asking about it.

After thinking for a moment, Lan Yixian did not turn around and go to the bathroom, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to ask.

"The tadpole in that bottle...... Is it the pet you bought for your daughter? ”

"Huh?"

Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"Why are you asking this?"

"A little curious......

Lan Yixian smiled, and then continued.

"There used to be a lot of them by the river when I was a child, and I also watched others raise them, but most of them ended up growing toads, which looked a little disgusting......"

Lan Yixian said his childhood opinion.

When she finished speaking and looked at Liu Changqing, she realized that something was not quite right.

It was clear that Liu Changqing's expression became more and more strange after listening to what he said......

Especially when I just talked about becoming a toad......

Coming back to his senses, Liu Changqing's tone sounded a little anxious.

"Toads? Shouldn't it be a frog? ”

"Most of the tadpoles on the riverside are toads, and frogs are not very common......"

“……”

Hearing this, Liu Changqing was completely speechless.

His eyes looked at Lan Yixian's puzzled expression, and then his eyes shifted to the plastic bottle on the windowsill on the side.

Look at the way those two ugly things kick their legs......

The expression is serious.

Lan Yixian saw Liu Changqing's strange behavior, and his mind was full of doubts for a while, and he wanted to open his mouth to ask something, but he didn't know what to ask......

After thinking for a moment, he took two steps forward and stood side by side with Liu Changqing in front of the window.

I looked out the window, the moonlit night sky.

And...... Dotted with stars.

After looking at it for a while, Lan Yixian moved his gaze to the side, and what he saw was still Liu Changqing's frowning and not knowing what to think.

Somewhat distracted.

I remember when I just went to bed, my daughter held the penguin doll in her arms and didn't let go until she fell asleep......

looked at Liu Changqing's frowning side face.

Lan Yixian was grateful.

Lips slightly open.

"Thank you."

"Huh?"

This thank you pulled Liu Changqing out of the idea of how to get rid of the tadpole unconsciously.

He lowered his head and looked at Lan Yixian, his face full of doubts.

"Thank me for what?"

For Liu Changqing's inquiry, Lan Yixian didn't say much.

He took a breath, then slowly exhaled.

seems to have spit out the unhappiness in his heart......

Look out the window.

After a long time, he whispered.

"Shiyan hasn't received a gift for a long time, actually...... I haven't had a good birthday for her in all these years, she is really the kind of child who is very sensible, never asks me anything and never loses her temper......"

“……”

Liu Changqing looked at her inexplicably, not understanding why she suddenly talked about the past.

Over the years, she has lasted long enough.

Lan Yixian didn't see Liu Changqing's gaze, but continued to take care of himself.

"She didn't say anything, but I knew she loved receiving gifts, after all, girls...... It's normal to like some small gifts, it's just that I used to be too useless to give her anything......"

Speaking of which, Lan Yixian's voice had begun to gradually decrease, and his gaze shifted downward, looking at the window......

There was a twinkle in his eyes.

"During the Chinese New Year, other children happily hold small lanterns, the kind of small lanterns that can also light up and sing...... She just looked at it and didn't say she wanted to buy it, I wanted to buy it for her...... She turned around and ran, and I was afraid that the child would get lost, so I had to follow......"

Looking at Lan Yixian, Liu Changqing felt that the atmosphere had become dull.

Although he knew that Zhou Shiyan was a very sensible child, hearing the other party's past deeds from Lan Yixian's mouth was a different feeling.

Some sympathy......

He opened his mouth to say something to calm the other party, but at this moment......

Liu Changqing didn't know what to say.

The kind of comforting words that don't hurt or itch, and are spoken by a bystander, are as unconvincing as farting.

Lan Yixian raised his arm and rubbed the corner of his eye with his index finger.

For some reason, her nose began to sour a little when she thought about the past.

He took a breath, then exhaled deeply.

Lan Yixian turned his head and looked at Liu Changqing.

Laughed.

"Thank you so much, I can feel that Shiyan is very happy today, I don't even know...... What can I do to thank you properly......"

“……”

When talking about the guilt in the other party's expression when talking about his daughter, Liu Changqing saw it in his eyes.

She must have been very tired all these years, a woman with a child......

For some reason, Liu Changqing didn't want to see the other party's expression, he wanted to make the other party happier.

He turned his head and looked out the window.

Moon...... Star......

Liu Changqing's mind came up with the words he had heard in his previous life, and then he looked at Lan Yixian again.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Don't thank you much, just buy a little bit of my stuff."

"Buying you something?"

When Lan Yixian heard this, he obviously didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"What to buy?"

She didn't know what Liu Changqing meant by what he said suddenly, as far as she knew, Liu Changqing didn't sell any goods.

looked at Liu Changqing with a puzzled gaze.

I saw Liu Changqing clenching his fists, as if he had grasped something in the air, and stretched out his fist in front of Lan Yixian and shook it.

The gaze follows the fist.

Then, Liu Changqing stretched out his fist out of the window, opened his palm, and seemed to throw something out.

Following the other party's movements, Lan Yixian's gaze was also attracted.

However, what I saw was a dark scene outside the window.

After looking at it for a while, he really didn't know what it meant, so Lan Yixian was about to ask.

It's just that before he could say anything, he saw Liu Changqing's hand, pointing to the sky.

Lan Yixian looked puzzled in the direction his hand was pointing.

The night sky that catches your eye is indeed the early morning.

and the moon and stars in the sky.

I don't know what it means, Lan Yixian just wanted to ask, and Liu Changqing's somewhat deep voice came from his ears.

He said slowly.

"The stars are discounted, two cents and a pound, and the package is not returned."

Momentarily stunned.

Lan Yixian's eyes appeared in the entire night sky, the inconspicuous but shining stars.

A pair of eyes widened, and there was only the stars in the sky.

The voice next to him continued.

"Born as a human being, there are always some hardships waiting for you, suitable and unsuitable have been encountered, happy and unhappy have also experienced, whether the life is bitter or not is not determined by others, but by yourself, every day after a good life is the most correct, you say...... Isn't it? ”

Liu Changqing's words reached Lan Yixian's ears.

A pair of eyes flickered, and she realized that the stars were shining so brightly in the night sky......

I don't know how long I watched, Lan Yixian slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Changqing beside him.

He had a smile on his face, the kind he had never seen on the other person's face.

"So...... With such a bright star, isn't Miss Lan going to buy a few? ”

Looking at Liu Changqing's face, Lan Yixian's vision slowly blurred, and he felt that something warm slipped down from the corner of his eye.

Hurriedly lowered his head and wiped it with the back of his hand.

When he raised his head again, although Lan Yixian sniffed, his whole face was full of smiles.

Open your mouth.

There was a hint of trilling in his voice.

Although it is crying, there is no sadness in it, but it is full of happiness.

Said from the heart.

"Thank you...... Liu Changqing. ”
