Song Qing Song Ze was adopted from an orphanage.

After the man and woman brought the sister and brother home, they often abused them, and Song Qing always locked Song Ze in the room and beat himself in order to protect his younger brother. Although the neighbors took pity on the two children, because the man had some power in this area, they could only secretly stuff some food for them.

Such a life full of fear every day lasted from Song Ze's age of four to thirteen, when Song Qing was fourteen.

That day, the man was so drunk that he began to spill when he entered the door, smashing the beer bottle Song Qing's body and head, and the woman also began to drag Song Qing's hair and slap her, cursing their sister and brother.

After the two of them finished fighting, they locked Song Qing in the utility room and began to discuss the sale of them.

Song Ze, who was lying on the floor and witnessed all this through the crack in the door, knew that this pair of crazy men and women were ready to raise them from the very beginning, and then sell them to some rich people with special habits!

In the middle of the night, Song Ze picked the lock of his room, and when he opened the door of the utility room and saw his sister lying in a pool of blood, no one knew better than him what kind of heartache it was!

He jumped out of the window and went to the neighbor for help, such a good sister, who would gently call him "Aze", who would give him all the snacks sent by the neighbor, and pretended to threaten him with a fierce attitude that he was not allowed to return it, the sister who knew everything in his eyes, and the sister who always protected him behind him without hesitation, went into the emergency room covered in blood, and after coming out, except for occasionally popping out a few words at him very slowly, he never spoke again.

"My sister's eyes are very good-looking, they used to be even better-looking, they always twinkle and twinkle, like stars hiding the whole universe. But since that incident, there was no light in her eyes, as if nothing had piqued her interest. Song Ze thought of his sister's smiling eyebrows when she talked to him before, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, but when she thought of her current sister, the corners of her mouth drooped again.

"Then did you sue those two later?" Huo Bai was a little angry, if it weren't for those two animals, the girl he liked would not be so unapproachable!

Song Ze nodded: "Later, a man who claimed to be our second uncle appeared, helped us fight the lawsuit, and also purchased this house and furniture, and he would call a lot of money every month. But my sister and I basically didn't touch the money. ”

"Then where do you get your usual living expenses from?" Huo Bai saw that Qi Qiu was silent, and continued to ask with some curiosity.

"My sister works in a martial arts gym, and the owner of the martial arts gym seems to be an acquaintance of our parents, and he used to come to see us when we were still in the orphanage." Song Ze should have seen that his sister's attitude towards these two people was very special, and he didn't hide anything.

Qi Qiu listened to Song Ze's description, as if the little girl with crooked eyebrows was close in front of her, but she was far away in the sky.

"Then your sister doesn't go to school?" She is fifteen this year, and it is estimated that she will be about to take the high school entrance examination before the accident.

"Well, my sister was supposed to be a sophomore in high school after the summer vacation, but she has been out of school for more than half a year." Song Ze is very sorry to say.

Qi Qiu and Huo Bai were very strange, but they thought that Song Ze might have made a slip of the tongue, so they didn't ask much. There was a sound of going downstairs in his ears, and Song Qing looked at Song Ze and asked him if he was hungry.

"I'm fine, if you're hungry, sit down for a while, and I'll cook for you."

As a result, Song Qing glanced at him with disgust and said lightly: "It's unpalatable." ”

As he spoke, Song Qing mentioned that the ingredients that Song Ze bought back were going to the kitchen.

Qi Qiu stopped Song Qing, and Mao Sui recommended himself: "I can also cook, I'll come!" ”

"You've got a cold." To be honest, this was the first time Qi Qiu and Huo Bai had heard such a sentence from Song Qing's mouth.

"I'm all right." Qi Qiu firmly believes that if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first grab her stomach. So he decided to start with this one.

Song Qing let go of her hand in disbelief, to be honest, if she could sit comfortably and wait for dinner, she would be happy.

Qi Qiu called Huo Bai to come over and help, and Song Qing sat in the place where Qi Qiu was sitting just now, flipping through the book that he hadn't finished reading before.

She stretched out her hand, subconsciously reached for the jar on the coffee table, touched the emptiness, raised her head and stared at Song Ze dissatisfied.

Song Ze reacted at this time, opened the bag at hand, poured half of the candy, biscuits and chocolates inside into a few jars on the coffee table, put the rest into the drawer, took out the key and locked it.

Song Qing touched a fruit candy, tore open the package and put it in his mouth, and then continued to read with satisfaction.

Qi Qiu in the kitchen was very skillful, and Huo Bai was stunned: "When did you learn to cook?" ”

Qi Qiu threw him a handful of shallots for him to wash, cut a few tomatoes, and replied without changing his face: "It always will." ”

"And you kept asking me to cook when I went to your house?" Huo Bai couldn't believe that this person's face could be so thick!

"Excuse me."

Co-author: Every time he is busy and messing around, he has to accept all kinds of criticism from this person, so it's not troublesome?

"Then why aren't you too troublesome today?"

Then Huo Bai saw Qi Qiu glancing at himself sympathetically: "You are a 10,000-year-old single dog who won't understand." ”

"What do you call a 10,000-year-old single dog? I don't get a leaf in the flowers! ”

"Okay single dog, please bring these dishes out." Qi Qiu's movements were fast, and the cooked food looked delicious. However, Huo Bai decided that he would definitely find fault with this guy later!

Although it was said that Qi Qiu was asked to cook, Song Ze was still not idle, helped serve the meal, and asked Qi Qiu and Huo Bai if they had anything to drink.

"I can do it, he's free." Qi Qiu took off his apron, washed his hands, sat down at the dining table, and sandwiched a chopstick meat for Song Qing and Song Ze, and Huo Bai only got a chopstick green pepper. How on earth did this guy avoid all the meat in a plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers and only bring out the green peppers?

Song Qing ate very happily, and Qi Qiu noticed that the little girl seemed to be particularly fond of eating meat.

"Aze, eat." Song Qing put a few pieces of green peppers with meat into Song Ze's bowl.

Song Ze quietly sandwiched some green peppers for her: "Don't think that if you give me all the green peppers, you don't have to eat them yourself." ”

Then, when Song Qing covered the shiitake mushrooms with rice, he asked, "Do you want to plant another bowl of shiitake mushrooms?"

Qi Qiu now knew a big thing - the little girl was a picky eater.

Song Ze finally couldn't bear it anymore and resorted to his trump card: "If you don't eat vegetables well, I'll lock up all the sugar at home!" ”

Song Qing looked like "how can you threaten my child like this", and he bowed his head helplessly and ate obediently.

Qi Qiu on the other side was thinking about how to use sugar to trick the little girl.

After the meal, Qi Qiu didn't ask Huo Bai to wash the dishes, but rolled up his sleeves, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen. Song Qing felt that he couldn't just eat and not work, so he followed Qi Qiu into the kitchen.

"Why are you coming in?" Qi Qiu raised his eyebrows, looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked with interest, "You can't touch the water if you have an injury on your hand, it's enough for me to have one here, you can go out and read a book for a while." ”

Song Qing shook his head: "You are just sick, you can't, too tired." ”

Qi Qiu smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals: "Are you caring about me?" ”

"Nope!" Song Qing's head shook like a rattle, "I don't want you to fall in my house, that's it." ”

Qi Qiu smiled even more: "Then why did you agree to let me cook just now?" ”

"I'm lazy." Song Qing generously admitted it this time.

"But you came in anyway." Qi Qiu was a little reluctant.

Song Qing glared at him, walked to the edge of the pool, and was just about to roll up his sleeves, when he suddenly remembered something, and took a few steps back: "You wash it." As he spoke, he pulled his sleeve down.

Qi Qiu smiled at her again, squeezed some dish soap onto the rag and began to brush the dishes. Song Qing didn't go out either, just stood not far from him and watched silently.

Qi Qiu suddenly felt that such a scene was quite like the life of a couple after marriage. The husband was washing the dishes, and the wife, who was spoiled by her husband, was watching from the side, as if one was inadvertent, and the two of them turned white.

"When did you go to the martial arts hall?" Qi Qiu felt that he couldn't waste such a good time, so he had to hurry up and put a cliché out of the little girl's mouth, and he would have a place to find someone in the future.

"Weekdays, afternoon." Song Qing's work is very easy, just go to the front desk of the martial arts hall every weekday afternoon to help out for a while. The salary she gets every month is quite considerable, and she also knows that the boss is helping her and her younger brother, so she wrote down this kindness.

"Mind taking me with you next time you go?" Qi Qiu stopped what he was doing and turned around to face Song Qing. His eyes widened deliberately, his mouth pursed a little, and he looked at the little girl steadily. God knows how long it had been since he had made such an expression, anyway, he remembered that when he was a child, every time he did this to his elders, as long as it was not a hurtful request, the other party would definitely agree.

Song Qing was stunned and nodded for a while.

Qi Qiu continued to wash the dishes with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

Qi Qiu was busy in the kitchen with the little girl's words, while Huo Bai in the living room was discussing Song Qing's treatment plan with Song Ze over and over again.

"Although I am not currently qualified to treat in person, I can contact my mentor, who is a leader in the industry. Your sister's situation is quite special, I can discuss with the tutor and start a project based on her condition, and try to be more accommodating in terms of treatment costs. Huo Bai said this with a little weakness, although psychological treatment can be done without spending money, but in terms of medicine and other treatments, it must be a part of his own hair and a small way to carry it.

Song Ze was a little entangled, and finally saw hope again, it was false to say that she was not tempted, but the problem was that Song Qing was unwilling to face disappointment again, so she didn't even want to ignite hope again.

"And what if it fails again?"

Huo Bai only used one sentence to completely collapse the already loose barrier in Song Ze's heart: "After that incident, before today, have you ever seen your sister say so much to the person you just met?" ”

While the two were talking, Song Qing and Qi Qiu came out of the kitchen, Song Ze pursed his lips, and just as he was about to speak, Qi Qiu took a step ahead of him and said, "Then we will go back first today." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the sisters and brothers, and dragged Huo Bai away.

Song Ze asked Song Qing to sit down and tried to talk to her about the treatment. thought that Song Qing would refuse without hesitation as usual, he was ready to know that he was emotionally reasonable, but Song Qing hesitated for a moment, and actually nodded in agreement.

"I want to grow up, too."

Song Ze was stunned - it was the first time in so long that my sister had brought up this matter herself. Growing up is easy for many people, but before that, my sister didn't want to continue to live at all, and every move every day was just to make herself feel at ease, like an empty shell.

"Qi Qiu asked us, do you want to go out tomorrow." Song Qing remembered what Qi Qiu had just raised and asked Song Ze's opinion.

"Do you want to get out?" Song Ze didn't think much about it, it was also a good thing that Song Qing was willing to have more contact with people.

"Hmm."

Song Ze turned on his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with Huo Bai just now, and he asked Huo Bai to send Qi Qiu's WeChat business card.

- Can you give me Qi Qiu's WeChat?

- No problem.

Qi Qiu's WeChat avatar is a black autumn character with a white background, and his name is also very simple, it is directly his name.

Song Ze just sent the application over, and it agreed.

- Is there something wrong?

- I'm Song Ze, listen to my sister, you asked us to go out tomorrow?

- Yes.

For some reason, Song Ze had the illusion that there was a big-tailed wolf on the other end of the phone.

- Okay, please send me the time and place, thank you.

The place Qi Qiu said is a playground in Jiangcheng, which covers a large area and is said to be very famous, which is a major feature of Jiangcheng. However, Song Qing and Song Ze have never been there, and it was already a luxury for a pair of men and women to let them eat and eat in the past, where can they still have the idea of wanting to play?

Song Ze didn't know what he needed to bring to the playground besides money, and just wanted to search on the Internet, Song Qing threw a bulging backpack in front of him and looked at him excitedly.

"Alright."

Song Ze looked at her confident eyes and decided to check what his sister had brought.

It's okay not to look at it, but as soon as he opened the zipper, Song Ze felt tired - who still brings gauze and medical tape to the playground?

Flashlights, blades, candles, lighters...... There's also a rope that I don't know where it came from!

"You're not here to play, you're going to set up an escape room, right?" Song Ze couldn't help but ask, what are these things! Which girl would be on the same channel as her brainwaves?

Song Qing said weakly: "Haunted house." ”

"Are you going to catch all the ghosts inside?"

"Hmm." Song Qing nodded very seriously.

Under Song Qing's gaze, Song Ze emptied his backpack without hesitation and replaced it with something normal. Song Qing wanted to speak several times and stopped, but finally held back.

In the evening, Song Zegang said good night to Song Qing, and added when the door was about to close: "After drinking the milk, try not to fall asleep with medicine." ”

Song Qing really didn't take sleeping pills that night, and somehow, she quickly felt sleepy today. It seems to be the kind of tiredness that is exhausted, but it is also the kind of fulfillment that has been happy for a long time.

The siblings slept soundly, but someone next door was restless, excited and excited at the same time, tormenting him to insomnia for the second time in his life - the last time was the night he learned that he was about to leave the Qi family to be self-reliant.
