(4,000 words)

Xiao Ru and Shao Lei were talking, but somehow, they always felt that a pair of scorching eyes fell on their bodies, so they raised their heads and looked, and sure enough, they saw the young man in a wheelchair in the crowd.

Xiao Ru's eyes widened in disbelief, and she hurriedly trotted over, with a heart full of joy, "Brother Qi Yao......"

Yang Qing smiled: "It turns out that she is really Xiaoru, and she has become a big girl in a blink of an eye." ”

"Hello Grandma Yang." Xiao Ru greeted politely.

Yang Qing asked lovingly, "Why did you come to the hospital?" ”

Xiaoru said in a soft voice: "My friend's mother is hospitalized, and I happened to be out of school early, so I came to visit with me." ”

Yang Qing: "That's the boy?" ”

Shao Lei, who was wearing a white shirt and khaki pants, stood not far away, quietly waiting for Xiaoru.

"Yes, Grandma Yang, are you here to see Grandpa Qi?" When Xiaoru asked, her eyes fell on Qi Yao.

Yang Qing: "Yes, I just had a discharge from the hospital and am about to go back!" ”

Seeing that Qi Yao was silent, Xiao Ru was so cold from beginning to end, she was a little lost in her heart, and still said, "Brother Qi Yao, can I go to your house with my parents later?" ”

Qi Yao raised his eyes and looked at the boy who was still waiting for Xiaoru not far away, his heart gradually sank to the bottom, the suffocating pain spread to his limbs, his brain was very messy, and many irrational voices kept whispering in his ears, which made him upset.

For no apparent reason, he was on the verge of losing control almost all of a sudden, and while the last shred of his sanity remained, he silently pushed his wheelchair away.

Xiao Ru's expression froze, and Yang Qing hurriedly said: "Welcome to the house as a guest, your brother Qi Yao has always been thinking about you when he was abroad, oh yes, I also bought you a gift, put it at home, you will like it." ”

Xiao Ru was a little sad and said, "Really? ”

But looking at Qi Yao's brother's appearance, it seems that he doesn't like her anymore.

"Really, he was in a bad mood because of what his family said just now, and it will be fine after a while, don't take it to heart."

Xiao Ru's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Did they say something ugly?" ”

Yang Qing sighed, "People, it's all realistic, Xiaoru, if Xiao Yao never stands up, will you dislike him?" ”

Xiao Ru shook her head without thinking about it, "Brother Qi Yao is still my favorite brother, and he will never change." ”

Yang Qing touched Xiaoru's hair, "Good boy, tomorrow I will sit at home with my parents, and let's talk well." ”

Xiao Ru nodded.

Yang Qing walked up to Qi Yao, and Shao Lei walked over, "Xiaoru, are you okay?" ”

The girl was looking intently in the direction Qi Yao had left, and she didn't retract her gaze until Shao Lei called her.

"I think he seems to be your godbrother." Shao Lei said.

"Yes, I injured my leg in a car accident and went abroad for treatment for a long time." Xiaoru accompanied Shao Lei to the upstairs inpatient department.

Shao Lei's mother had something in her belly, which was removed by surgery some time ago, and she had come to visit her grandmother a few times before, and Shao Lei, who was studying in other places, also hurried back to take care of her because she was worried about her mother.

Xiaoru has a deep friendship with him.

In the past, they practiced the piano together, competed together, and were both friends and comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, he had a gentle personality, and they still got along very happily.

Later, he was admitted to the Capital Conservatory of Music, and he rarely saw each other again.

But he would always write to her, more about sharing his musical experience and encouraging each other.

This time he came to visit her at school, so she came to the hospital with him to visit, but she didn't expect to meet Qi Yao's brother.

Brother Qi Yao is still sitting in a wheelchair, Xiao Ru thought sadly, it seems that Brother Qi Yao's leg can't be cured, no wonder Brother Qi Yao rarely mentions his leg in letters.

Xiao Ru thought that Brother Qi Yao was such a person who wanted to strengthen his self-esteem, and he was hurt by the gossip of his family, he must be very sad, and she had to comfort Brother Qi Yao later.

It doesn't matter if you can't stand up on your legs, my mother said that a person's charm will not be lost because of a physical disability.

Yang Qing found Qi Yao outside the door, "You kid, why didn't you leave without a sound, Xiaoru was sad." ”

Qi Yao said with a calm face: "Then why didn't she chase it out?" ”

Yang Qing: "......"

Good boy, it turns out that you just want other girls to come out and chase you?

Yang Qing quipped: "Xiaoyao, are you waiting for Xiaoru now?" ”

Qi Yao looked indifferently at the entrance and exit of the inpatient department, "She accompanied that boy, didn't she?" ”

"People are coming to visit a friend's sick mother, how can they run out to find you willfully?" Yang Qing said understandingly.

"Why not?" Qi Yao frowned, "Could it be that in her heart, I'm not as important as other people's mothers?" ”

Yang Qing: "......"

Qi Yao's words made Yang Qing unable to answer again.

Is this still her grandson who has always been calm and rational in her heart?

How do you feel like a candy kid all of a sudden?

Yang Qing saw Qi Yao's face gloomy, as if a storm was coming, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Xiaoru said just now, no matter whether you can stand up in the future or not, you are her favorite brother and will never change." ”

"Really?" Qi Yao's face couldn't help but soften a little.

"Of course, Xiaoru has always been a kind child."

Qi Yao's face turned a little gloomy in an instant, "So she said this just because out of sympathy, she would have such compassion for anyone, not for me alone." ”

Yang Qing was speechless again.

Her grandson's possessiveness should not be too obvious.

They stood outside for a while, Xiao Ru never came out, but Yang Qing looked at Qi Yao's posture, as if he was going to wait until the earth was barren, and couldn't help but say: "Xiao Yao, if you go and find her, if you ......"

"I'm fine sitting."

Yang Qing sighed lightly, "You didn't need to bear those ugly words that those people said......

Qi Yao'er, his voice was indifferent, "It's good, just take it as a spur and observe the weaknesses of human nature." ”

"Silly boy, human nature can't stand the test." Yang Qing said.

Qi Yao's expression was calm beyond his age, "Grandma, you should know that not everyone wants my leg to get better, Grandpa has already handed over his life to me, and I can't hide from it." ”

Of course, Yang Qing knew in his heart who Qi Yao was referring to.

Today's cynicism of the Erfang family does not hide their desire to fight, but also includes Yuan Linna's purpose and motives, she doesn't know that this daughter-in-law is also eyeing the old man's belongings.

Mr. Qi came from the war years, in addition to a lot of valuable antiques handed down by his ancestors, he also collected a lot of precious antiques back then, during the war, the old man in order to protect the country's important treasures from outflowing, he desperately protected, and later met the group to engage in revolution, he was thoroughly investigated and tortured, and he did not recruit.

It was only because the old man had witnessed that there were more national treasures destroyed during this period than during the war years, so he did not trust them, and even if he was rehabilitated, he never revealed the whereabouts of half of the antiques.

But now he knows that his time is short, and he is afraid that future generations will sell antiques at will for money or for the sake of high promotion to curry favor with the leader.

Now that he has identified Qi Yao as his heir, many people in the family probably know that the current Qi Yao is the target of everyone, and there is no way to hide, so he must take every step of the way, be cautious, and recognize the enemy and me.

Qi Shanwen came back to pick up Qi Yao and his mother.

Qi Yao held the armrest and tightened it slightly.

He didn't understand, why did Xiaoru visit a patient for so long?

Yang Qing said: "Don't wait. ”

After more than two years of getting along day and night, she knew Qi Yao too well, and he wanted to wait for that girl to come out.

Qi Shanwen didn't understand, "Why? ”

"It's okay, let's go!" Qi Yao said indifferently.

Qi Shanwen felt inexplicable, and was about to push the wheelchair to take the car outside, Xiaoru trotted out, "Brother Qi Yao......"

Qi Yao's body shook slightly, and one leg fell to the ground unconsciously, preventing the wheelchair from moving forward.

Xiao Ru panted and ran to him, "Brother Qi Yao, it turns out that you haven't left yet!" ”

Just now, she just wanted to help Shao Lei's mother close the window, but she saw Qi Yao, who seemed to be waiting for someone downstairs, so she hurried down.

Qi Shanwen smiled: "Xiaoru, why are you here?" ”

"I'm visiting an aunt who is hospitalized." After Xiaoru answered, she looked at Qi Yao in the wheelchair and said with a smile: "Brother Qi Yao, are you waiting for me?" ”

Qi Yao turned his face away coldly, "I'm waiting for someone to pick me up." ”

Yang Qing pursed her lips, felt a burst of amusement, and said, "Xiaoru, I don't think it's too early this day, you go to dinner with our family." ”

Xiaoru shook her head, "I have to go home for dinner." ”

Qi Shanwen said: "It's not safe for your girl to go home alone, so let's go to our house first, and I'll send you home later." ”

Xiao Ru looked at Qi Yao's gaze staring at her, and asked carefully, "Brother Qi Yao, do you want me to go?" ”

"Whatever!" Qi Yao turned his face away lightly.

Xiaoru felt an indescribable loss in her heart, and Brother Qi Yao really didn't like her.

At this time, Shao Lei came out, Qi Yao subconsciously and quickly grabbed Xiao Ru's hand, afraid that she would run away with someone again, and ordered: "Help me push the cart." ”

"Oh." Xiaoru took Qi Shanwen's place and helped Qi Yao push the wheelchair, not forgetting to turn back and explain to Shao Lei, "Shao Lei, I'll go back with my brother first, and then I'll come to see my aunt later." ”

Shao Lei stepped forward and said, "Then I'll go to your house tomorrow to practice, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, my grandmother will be pleased." Xiao Ru smiled politely.

Shao Lei's talent in music has always been praised by Ge Liqiong, and he is his grandmother's protégé!

Qi Yao's face was already dark little by little, cold as dark iron, and his brain couldn't help but hurt because of the intimate communication between them.

Although he is gifted and has a superior IQ, in terms of feelings, he is like all boys and girls who grow up for the first time, and he has a blank field and needs to keep learning.

He didn't know what he had to do to make the little girl only look at him.

The girl said goodbye to Shao Lei and pushed his wheelchair out of the hospital.

Qi Shanwen came in the unit's special car, carrying Qi Yao, Xiaoru and others home.

Xiao Ru, who was sitting in the car, saw that Qi Yao was silent, so she took the initiative to find a topic to talk to him, "Brother Qi Yao, is foreign country fun?" ”

"It's not fun."

"Do the people there look like us?"

"It's a big difference."

"I've been working hard to learn English, and my mother said, if I study hard, I can study abroad in the future, and I want to be in the same city as you."

These words made Qi Yao's heart entangled all the way in pain, and was instantly covered with warm currents, "A city with me? ”

"Yes," Xiao Ru smiled sweetly, innocent and pure, "so that I won't be lonely, and I can still play with you, how good." ”

"Do you really think so?" Qi Yao's gloomy eyes stared at Xiao Ru's smiling eyes, and asked with anticipation and uncertainty.

"Of course."

The corners of Qi Yao's mouth couldn't help but rise, "Okay, I will always wait for you, waiting for you to come." ”

Yang Qing, who was sitting in front, said with a smile: "Xiaoru is also a person with lofty ambitions, but it is not safe for girls to be alone outside, and they can be in the country at home, and it is very heavy for country M to be xenophobic." ”

Yang Qing has been in country M for two years, and he also deeply feels the seriousness of racial discrimination, but fortunately, Luo Yanding has been taking care of him, regardless of the living environment or medical conditions, it is excellent, and life is smooth.

Now the domestic information is relatively closed, Xiaoru does not understand the situation in foreign countries, but she usually hears her aunt Su Bangyue talk about it, it is a very modern country, but this country has been at war with her motherland.

So when she heard Yang Qing talk about it, she asked Qi Yao with some concern, "Then am I not suitable to go out?" ”

"No, just come, don't worry about anything else." Qi Yao held the girl's hand and wrapped it in the palm of his hand.

As long as you come, I will give you the best.

Xiaoru went to Qi's house with them, and also called Gu's house, explaining that she stayed at Qi's house for dinner, so that her grandparents didn't have to worry.

There are a lot of people in the Qi family today, all because of the old man's discharge from the hospital, they are all crowded in the living room, Xiaoru does not participate in the affairs of the Qi family, and pushes the young man back to the bedroom.

The light was faint, and the young man took out a delicate box from the drawer, tied with a pink bow ribbon, Xiao Ru's girlish heart was instantly attracted, "Is this for me?" ”

"Hmm."

"Can I open it now?" Xiao Ru asked politely.

"Hmm."

Xiaoru began to open gifts, it was the first time she had received such a beautiful boxed gift, it was really novel.

When she opened the lid, Xiaoru's girlish heart was shocked again, and she exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." ”

Inside is a variety of hairpins, whether it is the design or style, it is very delicate and high-end, impeccable.

There are rhinestone letter clips, feather hair clips, pearl hair clips, bow hair clips, starfish hair clips...... There are all big and small numbers, zero and zero total, and they are arranged in upper and lower layers, Xiaoru was stunned for a while.

"Do you like it?" Qi Yao asked uncertainly.

This is probably the most suitable gift that a straight man can think of.

If it weren't for his grandmother's advice, he wouldn't have been able to do anything.

"I like it, I like it." Xiaoru couldn't put it down, when she and her classmates went to a department store, they had never seen such a beautiful hairpin.

"If you like it, it's fine." Qi Yao's eyebrows were dyed with a smile.

Xiaoru took off the headband, took a feather-style hairpin and put it on one side of her hair, and asked crisply, "Is it good-looking, Brother Qi Yao?" ”

Qi Yao nodded and said sincerely: "It's good-looking!" ”

Xiao Ru's apricot eyes were crooked, and he smiled sweetly, as if a beautiful peony flower bloomed in his heart, gorgeous and unparalleled.
