As if hearing a familiar voice, the dean's mother-in-law's rolling eyes finally opened.

Seeing Qin Chuchu's familiar face, the old man smiled happily, "Chuchu, you're back." ”

Qin Chuchu nodded, rubbed her hand on his face, but tears couldn't help but fall, "Well, I'm back." ”

Probably because he was too weak, the dean didn't have much strength to answer Qin Chuchu, but smiled and nodded.

But after a while, the dean's spirit improved at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his pale and sallow face improved a lot, and he said a lot of thoughtful words to Qin Chuchu, and said that she should not work too hard, just do her best.

Qin Chuchu nodded lightly and responded one by one.

The dean saw Tang Yuchen, who was standing behind Qin Chuchu from beginning to end, with a gentle expression, and asked curiously, "This is ......?"

"Tang Yuchen, he's me...... Friend. Qin Chuchu turned his head sideways, glanced at Tang Yuchen and quickly lowered his head, he didn't know what he thought, his cheeks were red, but because the scenery in this room was dark, he didn't really see it.

Seeing that he was named, Tang Yuchen didn't just stand, took a few steps forward, smiled and gestured, and said, "Mother-in-law, it's me, do you remember?" ”

The tall Tang Yuchen, raising his two hands to sell cuteness, was indeed very impactful, which made Qin Chuchu not react for a long time.

But the dean's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "You, you are the ...... That's the ......."

"Little Tang ......," Tang Yuchen said with the corners of his mouth curled.

"Yes, Don Jr." The dean laughed, and directly laughed without eyes, "You've grown so big." ”

What the two of them said made Qin Chuchu confused, look at this, look at that, and asked Tang Yuchen with wide eyes and eyes, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?!

Tang Yuchen pursed his lips and smiled slightly, which was extremely confusing.

Qin Chuchu was like being electrocuted, and scolded in a low voice, demon!

The dean looked at Tang Yuchen and then at Qin Chuchu, patted Qin Chuchu's hand with emotion, and said with a relieved face: "Okay, that's good." ”

Qin Chuchu was still confused, and laughed inexplicably, but secretly poked Tang Yuchen's elbow behind his back.

“……”

Tang Yuchen snorted in pain, and complained bitterly in his heart.

At this time, the little boy took out an old mahogany box from the closet at the head of the bed, walked up and handed it to Qin Chuchu, and then walked out with the people gathered in the room, leaving Tang Yuchen, Qin Chuchu and the dean.

For a moment, even the air became quiet.

Seeing the old blackened mahogany box, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the dean's eyes, she clenched Qin Chuchu's wrist, and said tremblingly, "This, this...... Ahem......"

She coughed violently because she was so excited.

In this way, Qin Chuchu was frightened, and said, "Mother-in-law, don't get excited, speak slowly." ”

While patting the dean on the back, she turned her head and said to Tang Yuchen, "You can pour me a glass of water." ”

The water was quickly poured, but the dean waved his hand and did not drink it.

Seeing this, Qin Chuchu didn't force it, and changed his hand and put it on the other side.

"That box was placed at the door of the orphanage with you back then, and a note was written on it, saying that you would give it to you when you became an adult, but I forgot about it." The dean said intermittently, his cloudy eyes in confusion, as if reminiscing.

On the day Qin Chuchu first came to the orphanage, it was snowing in the cold winter, and the cold people's bones were trembling, and the little Qin Chuchu, who had just been born for a few days, was put in the snow like that, frozen purple all over, and crying weakly.

If she hadn't gone out early to clear the snow that day, there might be no Qin Chuchu in this world.

She picked her up, and there was a note underneath, and below that there was this small box, which looked like a valuable antiquity from the age.

And inside this mahogany box was a note with Qin Chuchu's name written on it, as well as a ring, saying that he wanted Qin Chuchu to give it to her when he became an adult.

Unlike the mahogany box, the ring looked ordinary, like a street stall everywhere.

She didn't think much about it, she hugged Qin Chuchu and entered the house, put the box away, and planned to give it to her when she became an adult.

But this wait, I actually forgot.

After listening to the dean's words, Qin Chuchu's heart was really mixed, she had always thought that she was a child who was abandoned and no one wanted.

But when she saw this mahogany box today, she felt that it was not like that, maybe her parents were just in trouble.

But what kind of hardship can make them abandon their own flesh and blood?

Qin Chuchu couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out, her hand was tightly gripping the mahogany box, and her bones were all blue and white.

Perhaps, everything she wanted to know was in this mahogany box.

With the encouragement of the dean's mother-in-law, Qin Chuchu took a deep breath and opened the red box with a force in his hand, but it was empty and there was nothing.

This made Qin Chuchu pause, and subconsciously looked up at Tang Yuchen.

Tang Yuchen also wrinkled his eyebrows, and his ink-colored eyes were pensive, but in fact, he was contemplative not because the box was empty, but because of the complicated patterns on the mahogany box, which always felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He thought about it carefully, but he still didn't think about it, so he chose not to say it for the time being, and talked about it later when he remembered it.

There was nothing in it, and the dean was also stunned, his anxious hands were trembling, "How can there be no things?" How can there be nothing left? It's all here. ”

The dean was in a hurry and kept repeating the sentence.

Qin Chuchu couldn't bear her to be so flustered, so he casually ripped off the bracelet on his wrist and put it in, saying, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, don't you see that this is inside." ”

In fact, Qin Chuchu was gambling, and the dean couldn't remember what was inside.

Fortunately, she made the right bet, and the dean looked at the ring bracelet inside, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's it, round." ”

Qin Chuchu answered, then closed the box and turned to Tang Yuchen, she was worried that the dean would look at it for a while and see what clues.

I don't know if it's because Qin Chuchu is here, the dean is happy, he has eaten a lot more than usual at dinner, and he is full of energy, and he can't see the previous weakness at all.

Seeing this, Qin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was also a lot happy.

"Chu Chu, is your birthday coming soon?" At the dinner table, the dean suddenly asked.

Qin Chuchu paused, subconsciously turned his head and glanced outside, it was already completely dark at five or six o'clock.

So, she nodded and said, "It should be soon." ”

"Are you coming back for your birthday this year? Mother-in-law will make you a big cake again. The dean said excitedly.

"Come back!" Qin Chuchu nodded heavily, and said with burning eyes: "I want to eat chocolate cake this year." ”

"Okay, come back then, my mother-in-law will make it for you."

"Hmm." Qin Chuchu smiled and nodded.

After dinner, the dean urged them to go back.

Qin Chuchu didn't want to leave and wanted to accompany her here, but as soon as he was scolded by the dean, he didn't insist.

On the way back, Tang Yuchen took out the mahogany box and handed it to Qin Chuchu.

Qin Chuchu played with it, and after studying it for a long time, he didn't see a reason, so he simply threw it in the car, leaning back on the back seat, his slender eyelashes covering his dark eyes.

The car was speeding away, and the street lights on the side of the road flashed, and on her face, the light and shadow changed and were unpredictable.

Tang Yuchen hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the mahogany box thrown by Qin Chuchu, put it in his hand and played with it, his slender and slightly cool fingertips rubbing the complicated lines on it.

After a while, he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I can help you check." ”

Although she didn't care very much, Tang Yuchen knew very well that she was actually a person who longed for family affection.

But he didn't want Qin Chuchu to turn around, his eyes swept over Tang Yuchen's hand, and he hooked his lips and smiled mockingly: "Thank you." ”

The next sentence is, "No." ”

If they wanted to find it, they would have done so.

No matter what reason they abandoned her, Qin Chuchu had resentment in his heart.

After saying this, Qin Chuchu turned her head to look out of the car window, the street lights quickly retreated, and the dim light and shadow flickered on her face, becoming more and more difficult to figure out.

Qin Chuchu didn't ask for it, and Tang Yuchen didn't force it, he played with the things in his hand for a while again, then put it aside, secretly reached over his hand, hooked Qin Chuchu's fingertips, and then held her entire hand in the palm of his hand.

The moment his palm crossed the boundary, Qin Chuchu's body stiffened, but then it relaxed, and his fingers were slightly clenched.

Qin Chuchu still didn't look back, but the car window reflected her hooking the corners of her mouth, pursing her lips and chuckling.

……

The dean didn't wait for Qin Chuchu's birthday.

Because as soon as Tang Yuchen and Qin Chuchu arrived home, she received a phone call saying that the dean had passed away, but she left peacefully.

This news exploded in Qin Chuchu's mind, and it took a while to accept the news.

"Obviously she was fine when I left, what, why ...... now" Qin Chuchu choked, his voice was hoarse, and tears fell down even more.

"Actually, the doctor said early in the morning that the dean couldn't hold out for two days, she hadn't eaten or drunk for several days, and when I saw you today, I probably came back to the light." The person on the other side sighed and said, and persuaded Qin Chuchu for a while: "Life and death have their own certainty, don't be too sad, mourn and change." ”

"Funeral...... When was it? Qin Chuchu asked in a choked voice.

"She said that everything is frugal, so we didn't prepare for the funeral, and the day after tomorrow, the dean will be buried in the ground, and if you have time, you will go to Beishan Cemetery to offer her a bouquet of flowers."

"Okay." Qin Chuchu nodded in response, and the person opposite also hung up the phone. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Mr. Tang! Please advise! ", WeChat follow "Hot Network Article or rd444" to chat about your favorite books with more book friends
