Chapter 14: Qin Xin

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the fallen leaves are scattered.

The already cool late autumn was even colder due to an abrupt light rain.

To the southeast of Chung Hwa University, in a wide and narrow alley, there is a teahouse.

In the teahouse, there is a woman serving tea and water.

The woman is not very old, about nine years old, and she is busy mixing water and pouring tea for the guests. Between the eyebrows, there is always a trace of indelible sadness.

"Qin Xin, seat 89, a cup of Longjing!"

"Qin Xin, Block 7, a cup of chrysanthemum tea, add a little red dates and wolfberries......"

"Qin Xin......"

The shouting came from the inner hall one after another and rapidly, it was the proprietress of the teahouse.

Autumn is here, especially on such a cold and rainy day.

There are a lot of people who come to the teahouse to drink tea, and it is basically 'full'.

In order to save labor costs, the proprietress of the teahouse only hired Qin Xin.

All the work of serving tea and pouring water is all in charge of Qin Xin.

It's not hard to imagine the fatigue of it.

How could an ordinary woman suffer like this?

The proprietress of the teahouse was originally not optimistic about a thin woman like Qin Xin, but now there are too few student workers who like to work...... The vast majority of them are either traveling or falling in love.

After all, college is a paradise for love.

In every student's heart, there is a dream of talking about a vigorous love in college!

The teahouse can't be short of people, so the proprietress hired Qin Xin.

It really doesn't work, just change it when the time comes.

But, contrary to her expectations, Qin Xin not only persevered...... And, doing it better than anyone who has been hired before. The proprietress naturally fell in love with such a hard-working girl.

She doesn't understand, what makes a girl struggling to persevere?

You must know that people who can come to Chung Hwa University to study, under normal circumstances, cannot be children of poor families.

The proprietress wanted to communicate with the girls several times.

But she found that the girl was very closed and cold in her heart, and the ups and downs of decades of life told her...... The cute, beautiful, hard-working girl in front of her refuses to communicate with anyone in her heart......

She once intentionally went to school to inquire about Qin Xin's life experience, and learned from other people's mouths...... Qin Xin, whose parents died when he was a child, was raised by his brother who was a compatriot. Unfortunately, his brother died in a car accident not long ago......

The proprietress who learned of this situation felt a lot of pity and became more and more fond of Qin Xin. While taking care of each other, they also gradually increased their salary......

In the evening, ten o'clock!

At this time, in the dead of night, the teahouse was closed.

"Qin Xin, slow down on the way home. Auntie has put some food in your backpack...... When I got home, I was hungry, so I ate a little. The proprietress of the teahouse leaned against the door of the teahouse, looked at Qin Xin, who was gradually moving away, and admonished.

"Thank you, Aunt Li!" Qin Xin smiled.

But that smile, like a lotus flower in the rain, is so heartbreaking. Laughing is far worse than crying.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's my brother who is sorry for you......"

In the dim street, Qin Yu held his head in pain, squatting in a dark corner, looking at Qin Xin who was leaving, his heart tingling.

Qin Xin is Qin Yu's sister!

Qin Yu didn't know how he returned to the world.

The moment he opened his eyes, what he saw was his sister, Qin Xin.

Qin Xin is thinner than before.

On her, Qin Yu felt a strong sadness. is the same as the previous impression, the laughing and eccentric Qin Xin...... It's completely different.

In the past, no matter how poor and hard the days were, Qin Xin always had a smile on his face.

That smile is like a warm sun in winter.

"Brother, what are we going to eat today?" Qin Xin asked.

"Gruel ......"

"Wow, gruel...... Xin'er likes to drink the porridge cooked by her brother the most, which is sweet, just like bird's nest. ”

"Xin'er, these shoes are broken, don't wear them. People will laugh at you when they see it...... My brother is going to buy you a new pair. ”

"It's not ugly! These are the shoes my brother bought for me...... It's the best-looking pair of shoes in the world. Hmph, if anyone says it's not good-looking, I'll punch him with my fist! ”

"Xin'er, are you lonely?"

"Xin'er is not alone, Xin'er has a brother! With a brother, my heart will never be alone! ”

"Silly girl, when you grow up, you're going to get married."

"No, I don't want to get married, I want to live with my brother for the rest of my life...... When my brother got married and had children. Xin'er will help my brother take care of the child! Don't marry, never marry! ”

“……”

In the past, warm memories appeared in Qin Yu's mind like a tide.

At that time, how cheerful my heart was.

Today, she's thin.

Qin Yu's heart was tingling, like a knife.

"Why, why is it like this...... God, tell me why this is happening! Qin Yu roared, but unfortunately he was a ghost and a soul body.

His roar, no one could hear.

One day, one day......

He tried all kinds of ways to contact and communicate with Qin Xin...... It's a pity that it's useless, it's all in vain.

Yin and Yang are separated by ......

There seems to be a ravine between humans and ghosts......

It's close at hand, it's far away......

Seeing his sister thin and doing nothing made Qin Yu gradually begin to hate himself......

He was irritable, depressed, and hopeless......

He hated being a piece of waste, so incompetent, so useless......

Ghosts, ethereal......

The body was illusory, and seeing Qin Xin walk away, he could only follow in despair.

Qin Yu was surprised that the place where Qin Xin lived was not the dormitory of the school.

It's a dirty, cramped, ten-square-meter rental house.

The house is old, and it belongs to that kind of old house.

On the walls, nine layers of wall powder have fallen...... Exposed are red bricks. In addition, there are many water pipes and old-fashioned electrical wires, all tangled in the mess, which belongs to the cheapest kind of house.

The furniture in the house is also very simple.

There was nothing but a bed, a table, a lamp, and a small, shabby, homemade wardrobe.

Qin Yu is a ghost, and the ghost ignores the wall.

Passing directly through the wall, the first thing his gaze fell on was the desk.

In the center of the table, a black and white photograph is placed.

It's a photo of Qin Yu.

In the background of the photograph is a pavilion in the middle of the lake!

Looking at the photo, Qin Yu's memories came flooding back to his heart. He remembered that it seemed to be taken for ten yuan when he first came to the imperial capital and took his sister to play. At that time, he was still very poor, and ten yuan for a photo, which made him feel very distressed.

But I didn't expect that one day, this photo would become the only photo of my sister missing herself.

"Brother, I miss you so much. Why did you leave me behind...... My heart is so lonely! ”

Qin Xin dropped his backpack, as if he had taken off the disguise of the day.

She was still the same delicate woman.

In the dead of night, I looked at the photo and cried bitterly......
