Chapter 15: Liu Xiao
"Brother." Luo Qing shouted tentatively.
When he looked up again, he saw a slightly scruffy man sitting on a stool with his legs crossed, with a grass in his mouth, his hands on the back of his head, leaning back slightly against the wall, looking about thirty years old.
Gu Huai waved at her when he heard that she was back: "Qingqing, come, you get to know me, this is my brother's friend Liu Xiao, you can call him Brother Liu." ”
Liu Xiao sat up straight when he saw Luo Qing coming in.
Luo Qing didn't like Liu Xiao a little, and felt that he was a good man, but her brother taught her that she couldn't recognize a person's good or bad at the first time, and she had a good temper, so she didn't show her emotions, but called Brother Liu obediently and skillfully.
Liu Xiao really didn't expect Gu Huai to know such a little girl, it seems that this little girl should live with Gu Huai, and these girls' things are also hers.
He glanced at Gu Huai, saw that he looked calm, and even became a little gentler when talking to the little girl, and even took the initiative to ask Luo Qing's name.
"What's the girl's name?"
"Luo Qing, Brother Liu directly called my name."
Luo Qing replied obediently.
"Qingqing, your eldest brother Liu's medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace, and he is called a divine doctor."
Liu Xiao only felt a chill down his spine when he heard Gu Huai's praise of himself, and a bad premonition slowly crept into his heart.
Gu Huai didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Xiao's restlessness, and said his plan to go: "Don't you want to study medicine?" I invited him here to teach you. ”
Liu Xiao stopped doing it, and stood up suddenly: "Gu Huai! I knew it wouldn't be good for you to praise me! Don't you think ......?"
Luo Qing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Gu Huai's words, and he left behind all his dislikes: "Really? Can Brother Liu really teach me? ”
Liu Xiao looked at Luo Qing, who was full of surprise and couldn't say anything about his refusal, Gu Huai took advantage of the fire to rob.
"Of course, don't look at your brother Liu sloppy and old, but the person is still good, our Qingqing is so well-behaved, he will definitely agree."
As he spoke, he said to Liu Xiao again, "Really? Liu Xiao. ”
Liu Xiao looked at the half-threatening smirk on the corner of Gu Huai's mouth and his scalp was numb, but Luo Qing still looked at him expectantly, he couldn't stand this the most, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, how long?" ”
Luo Qing was entangled: "But...... Since Brother Liu is a miracle doctor, why can't he cure his brother's eyes? ”
Liu Xiao couldn't stand others questioning himself the most, and blurted out: "This is not bad for me, it was dragged by people after being poisoned, isn't this drag like this?" It took me a lot of effort to keep him completely blind, and I might be able to see it later. That medicine is so abrasive, and he can endure it! Luckily, the poison didn't kill him directly! ”
Luo Qing was even more worried: "Brother, why are you ......" But she couldn't bear to reveal his scars, and she didn't know whether she should ask or not, so she swallowed the words that came to her mouth again.
Gu Huai knew that Luo Qing was in a hurry, so he glared at Liu Xiao before reassuring her: "It's okay, you study medicine hard, maybe one day my brother's eyes will be cured by you, and then my brother can see how good-looking Qingqing is born who is remembered by others at such a young age." ”
Luo Qing didn't think that he was teased again: "Brother, I think you can remember this for me for a lifetime." ”
"Yes, I have to remember it for a lifetime." Gu Huai replied.
Liu Xiao had never seen Gu Huai smile like this, and when he said this kind of thing, he couldn't help but tremble to see if he could get rid of a layer of goosebumps.
"I said Gu Huai, you ...... Can we not do that? Is it bullying me for not having a sister? ”
Gu Huai smiled and didn't speak, but it was Luo Qing, who saluted Liu Xiao quite meekly: "I hope that Brother Liu will take care of Luo Qing more in the future." ”
Liu Xiao glanced at Gu Huai, and suddenly had a bad thought: "That's ...... Do you have to apprentice? ”
Gu Huai shook his head and smiled: "you, you just want to take advantage of me!" I am Qingqing's brother, you are Qingqing's master, are you still a generation older than me? ”
Liu Xiao waved his hand: "Forget it, I have a lot of adults, and I don't care about you in the face of Luo Qing's little girl." ”
Luo Qing knew that the two had not seen each other for a long time, so they should have a lot to say, so they took the initiative to leave the lobby and go to the kitchen to make dinner.
After the people left, Liu Xiao lowered his voice and said: "You didn't let me live here before I came, what did you say about your own pure land, she, is she living here?" ”
Gu Huai smiled on his face: "Liu Xiao, teach her well, you don't know how bitter and painful her previous days were, I really treated her as my own sister." ”
Liu Xiao also put away his hippie smile: "Okay, who told me to owe you a life." I'll just stay here for a year or two and not leave. ”
Gu Huai picked up the folding fan and nodded in the air: "Count you righteous!" ”
Liu Xiao glanced at the folding fan in Gu Huai's hand: "It's a cold day, don't pretend to hold the folding fan!" It's been a long time since I've been here, and this temperament hasn't changed! ”
Gu Huai didn't refute, but said: "You still go to Aunt Zhong's house to live after dinner, and I will let Aunt Zhong arrange it." ”
"What?" Liu Xiao knew that Gu Huai was not a joke, pursed his lips, and resigned himself, "Got it!" ”
For a while, there was some silence in the room, and Liu Xiao couldn't hold it back: "If you are so good to her, you are not afraid that she will ...... then."
The words were not finished, but Gu Huai knew the meaning of his words.
"I've retreated to this point, I'm blind, I can't lead my troops to fight anymore, what kind of situation will he force me to? Besides, Qingqing is just an orphan girl and doesn't know anything. ”
Liu Xiao sighed and said no more.
After Liu Xiao ate the food cooked by Luo Qing, he was finally willing to teach her medical skills.
Who told him to eat without desire? This home-cooked food made by Luo Qing is really to his appetite.
Luo Qing was really flattered to receive this series of praises, so she had to let Liu Xiao eat more.
In the evening, when Liu Xiao was about to leave, Luo Qing calmed down slightly, there were still only two people living here, her and her brother, and there was no one around.
It's just that she felt that her brother was a little abnormal tonight, and she realized it when she was eating, and he was too silent.
After sending Liu Xiao away, he went into the study and played the piano.
She couldn't do anything, so she just sat and listened, silently accompanying him.
It's just that the sound of the piano suddenly stopped at some point.
She asked tentatively, "Brother, why don't you play?" ”
Gu Huai stroked the sound of the piano for a long time before saying, "This is my mother's piano, so I never let outsiders touch it." Today, Liu Xiao came and reminded him of some of the past. ”
Gu Huai was explaining the reason why he was abnormal tonight.
But Gu Huai's next words made Luo Qing stunned.
"Qingqing, do you want to learn to play the piano? My brother thinks, my brother can teach you. ”
As long as Gu Huai is willing to teach her, she is willing to learn, but ......
My brother didn't like others to touch his piano, and even wiping it was he who groped for it and carefully started it himself, and even she never touched it.
"Then I'll buy a piano tomorrow."
Gu Huai didn't look back, his hands gently stroked the strings, and it took a long time for Luo Qing to hear his answer.
"No, just use this one."
