When Ying Qi came home from school in the evening, he found that Shen naturally came back.

She and Shen Gui knew what Shen naturally did, but they never knew her whereabouts.

Shen naturally sat on the sofa and smoked, the damp and gloomy room was filled with smoke, and Ying Qi couldn't help frowning, and opened the door for ventilation.

"Where's your brother?" Shen Nature's face was haggard and scary, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Ying Qi said lightly: "I studied last night." ”

"Don't you have to go on?" Shen naturally swallowed the clouds, and the circle of the cigarette filter between his fingers was a cheap lipstick print.

Ying Qi lowered his eyes, and only replied after a while: "No." ”

Shen naturally stood up, snuffed out his cigarette, and indifferently began to talk to people on the phone, and Ying Qi stood next to her for a while, and found that she was starting to flirt with the person on the phone, so she turned around and went back to the room.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Shen You wanted to leave here so much in the first place.

Not only because of the living conditions here, but also because of Shen Nature.

Today's Shen Nature is still good, when Shen You was a child in the past, Shen Nature was very short-tempered, and often scolded Shen You and Shen Guifei, scolding the two of them for not dying, whenever this time, Shen Gui tightly protected Shen You in his arms.

To say that you don't hate is false.

Especially after Shen You is getting bigger and bigger, after entering puberty.

So when the gentle and dignified Ji Mu appeared, it was like a beam of light shining into Shen You's life.

Shen You never thought that her biological mother was so noble and beautiful, she and Shen naturally were completely people from two worlds, when she was young, someone came to collect debts, and Shen naturally couldn't come up with the money, so she locked Shen You and Shen Gui in the room, and then began to undress in the living room.

After the debt collector left, Shen, who was blue and purple, naturally began to beat and scold her and Shen Gui.

But what about Ji's mother?

She took Shen You to a Western restaurant to eat, would gently help her wipe the sauce from the corners of her mouth, would help her buy all kinds of beautiful clothes, and would listen to her gently.

If you say that you want to leave the basement of this snail's house and go to the Ji family, Shen You should be the most reluctant to return.

But she was already carried away by happiness at that time.

Ying Qi looked at the calendar, it was already April, Shen You would have his sixteenth birthday in September, and in October, the people of the Ji family would come to the door.

Shen naturally made a phone call in the living room for half an hour, and then took a few clothes from the room.

She slammed open the door of Ju Qi's room and threw her an envelope: "Wait for your brother to come back, give it to your brother, save some money, you know?" ”

Ying Qi pinched the envelope, it was not thick, and it was estimated that it was only a few thousand yuan.

She raised her eyes and looked at the time: "My brother will be back in half an hour, aren't you waiting for him?" ”

Shen naturally frowned and lit a cigarette: "I'm leaving." ”

"Where are you going?" Maki Qi then asked.

Shen naturally put the cigarette in his mouth, bent down and put on high heels: "What do children do with so much?" I don't go out to make money, the ghost pays you tuition! ”

Shen was naturally a little impatient.

Ying Qi said again: "My brother is going to have a parent-teacher conference next week. ”

"There's no time." Shen naturally picked up the bag on the sofa, put on sunglasses, covered the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and then took out the lipstick from the bag and began to apply it.

Maki pursed his lips and didn't speak.

After Shen naturally left, Ying Qi began to prepare for supper.

There weren't many things at home, so Maki took out a few eggs and a large bowl of leftover rice from the refrigerator.

She scrambled an egg fried rice, but as soon as it was served on the table, Shen Gui came back.

Shen Gui looked at her wearing an apron, was slightly stunned, and only remembered to put down the schoolbag after a while.

Ju Qi smiled and said, "Is my brother hungry?" I fried a bowl of fried rice for my brother. ”

Shen Gui was led by Ying Qi to sit down at the dining table, and then watched in a daze as Ying Qi pushed the fried rice to himself, "Brother, eat it." ”

Shen Gui pursed his lips: "Have you eaten?" ”

Ying Qi shook his head: "I only ate at eight o'clock, and I'm not hungry." ”

Shen Gui nodded, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"Brother, tell me what fun happened to you today?" Maki sat next to him, holding his cheeks and looking at him.

As soon as Shen Gui looked back, he saw her looking at him with her cheeks like a little hamster.

He raised his hand and touched the top of her head: "Nothing fun. ”

Ying Qi pouted: "It's really all over the world that you talked to death." ”

A smile rose at the corner of Shen Gui's lips, it turned out that she just wanted to chat with him, Shen Gui coughed lightly, picked a few things in the class and told Ying Qi.

Ju Qi looked at him with a smile all the time.

Shen Gui was in a good mood, and even ate half a bowl of rice.

Ying Qi suddenly remembered Shen Tiantian's matter, so he turned around and went back to the room and took out the envelope: "Brother, Mom just came back, let me give this to you." ”

The corners of Shen Gui's originally smiling lips suddenly calmed: "Mom is gone again?" ”

"Hmm." Maki Qi nodded.

Shen Gui pursed his lips and didn't speak, but took out ten sheets from the envelope and handed them to Ying Qi: "Take it." ”

Ying Qi took out two of the ten and said with a smile: "I don't need so much, brother take it." ”

Shen Gui didn't force it.

After all, Shen naturally only gave more than 4,000 yuan, and when she came back next time, he didn't know when it would be, thinking of this, Shen Gui raised his hand and touched her hair, and said softly: "If you don't have any money, just tell me." ”

"Okay."

"It's not early, go to bed."

Maki returned to the room, put the homework back in his school bag, and lay down on the bed to get ready to sleep.

The wound on his forehead still hurt badly, and Ying Qi was a little irritable, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

It seemed that it had been a long time before she fell asleep in a hazy way.

Maki Qi dreamed.

She dreamed that Shen Gui, who was only five years old, was punched and kicked by several seven or eight-year-old boys, he bit his lower lip tightly, his face was full of hatred, his head was broken, and scarlet blood flowed down his sideburns.

But the children who beat people didn't notice it, and they still kept punching and kicking.

"Ahh Suddenly waking up from his dream, Ying Qi was shocked to realize that he was already in a cold sweat.

Within a moment, the door was slammed open, and Shen Gui, who was wearing only a pair of trousers, showed his sturdy upper body, hurriedly walked in.

The sleepiness on his face had not yet dissipated, and he walked to the side of the bed, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "You have nightmares again?" Don't be afraid, my brother is here. ”

Ju Qi was hugged by him, and his warm palm gently patted her back, gradually dispelling the uneasiness and panic in her heart.

She subconsciously hugged his waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest.

His powerful heartbeat faintly sounded in his ears.

His palm patted her back and forth, as if to soothe a frightened child.

"Don't be afraid, you have a brother."

His originally cold voice sounded extremely heartwarming at this moment.

Tiredness gradually hit Ying Qi's eyes, and she hugged Shen Gui and fell asleep.

Shen Gui listened to her breathing that gradually stabilized, and couldn't help but sigh, obviously she didn't have nightmares in the past two years, why did she suddenly make it again today?
