Chapter 22: The Past
"Oops, I'm exhausted." I threw myself headlong into the bed and didn't want to move again.
Today's trip to Lanzhu Mountain is really the happiest trip ever, from the morning climbing to the evening down, except for eating has not stopped, excitement and joy have been lingering in my heart, it is strange to say, I didn't feel tired when I climbed the mountain, but now I feel tired like a tide as soon as I touch the soft big bed, I really don't want to move anymore.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door like a ghost, and I frowned impatiently.
Ahh
Reluctantly, I got out of bed to open the door, and rushed to the door without putting on my shoes.
Opened the door and just wanted to reprimand the visitor, but at the first sight of the visitor, he threw his anger and reprimand out of the clouds, and looked at him with some surprise.
I just heard a knock on the door, and I reflexively thought it was Brother Xinghai, because during that time at home, he always came back late, and the first thing he did when he came back was to knock on the door of my room, knocking every day, being woken up by him every day, and chatting with him every day with the spirit, never stopped.
Therefore, when I saw that the person who came was Qin Shu, I suddenly woke up, and now I am in the house of Qin Shu in country H!
What to do, it's a little embarrassing!
When Qin Shu saw my appearance, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I have something important to say, and I can't say it today if I don't say tomorrow."
I looked into his eyes, as deep as a galaxy, and I was unconsciously sucked in.
"If you come to me so late, there must be something urgent, I don't care, come in and talk about something!" I opened the door, let him in, and closed the door.
He sat in a chair by the window, and I sat down across from him.
At this time, he looked at me with a serious face, and his eyes were clear, and there was no trace of the difficulty that a person should have in the middle of the night. Looking at his serious expression, my heart involuntarily lifted, and I cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"
He was still looking at me, just raising his hand to signal me not to speak.
I was immediately silenced.
Time passed minute by minute, and I was a little chilled down my spine by him, what the hell is going on?
Suddenly, Qin Shu said, "Xiaoyu, Ziqian is here to find someone."
I nodded and I understood.
He spoke again, "He came to his sister."
Oh, what a coincidence, it seems that we are quite fated to come to find relatives.
Qin Shu seemed to penetrate my thoughts and said, "He is different from you, his sister is lost."
Lose...... Lost?
The originally calm heart surged because of this word, and he recalled Lu Ziqian's hearty and open smile when he flew a kite in the afternoon, I'm afraid he hasn't laughed so happily for a long time, right? My sister is gone, how can I still be in the mood to play? If I disappear, my brother doesn't know what to be in a hurry, I remember the doting and love in my eyes, that is a sincere emotion that I can never forget in my life, I think, if I am gone, my brother may not be able to get out for a long time, and he has been closing himself.
Put yourself in his shoes, and you can understand the pain in Brother Ziqian's heart.
A burst of distress arose, distressing Ziqian's brother's distress, distressing his experience, and distressing his lost sister.
His sister must be very homesick now, right? I miss my father, my mother, and my brother, I don't know how she is doing? Are you afraid? Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever met a bad guy?......
Thinking about it, tears poured down, one after another, and I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't wipe it away. I let the tears welling up, and I didn't know why.
Empathy?
But why do you empathize?
Since I am only fantasizing about empathy, how should Brother Ziqian be sad, scared, and suffocated?
I raised my head, looked at Qin Shu with eyes that hadn't wiped away my tears, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
I desperately want to know what happened to him, what he went through, what he was distressed about.
I don't know why I have such fiery feelings for Lu Ziqian, who I have only known for one day, but I clearly know that my feelings for him have far exceeded the feelings of friends, and there has always been a voice in my heart that is talking, crying and saying to me: "Help him, he is so pitiful, so distressing, help him, help him get out of the pain of losing his sister in his heart, help him, you must help him!"
Qin Shu kept looking at me, and the emotions in his eyes were too complicated for me to understand. Listening to my question to him, he said slowly: "Ziqian has a sister who is four years younger than him, named Zijin. Ziqian dotes on his sister very much, and he agrees to any of Zijin's requests, so when Ziqian was twelve years old, eight-year-old Zijin pestered him to let him take her out to play, Ziqian couldn't stand her, so he got rid of the family's bodyguard and took Zijin to the amusement park, in the amusement park, Ziqian's turn she was gone, Ziqian couldn't find it no matter how she looked, until it was dark Uncle Lu found Ziqian, knocked him unconscious, and took him home, but Zijin couldn't find it. ”
Qin Shu's voice was very low, with a deep sadness, and the painful past he told made people cry when they heard it.
After sorting out his emotions, he said again: "Afterwards, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu knew Ziqian's self-blame and guilt in his heart, and they didn't beat and scold him, and because of this, Ziqian's self-blame and guilt in his heart became more and more day by day, but in order not to worry his parents, he hid the pain in his heart and laughed at the world every day, but I understand that his laughter is not from the heart."
Qin Shu stopped and looked at me, his eyes were full of pleading for me: "Today, when he smiled at you, I could see that he was laughing from the heart, the first time in six years, he laughed from the bottom of his heart, so, I beg you." He looked at me earnestly, religiously, and longingly, as if he were looking at the God who saved the world: "I beg you, help him, help him get out of the cage of the past, help him regain his smile, help him see the love of the people around him, and let him regain his strength." I believe that only you can do it, as soon as you appear, he asks you to call him brother, and you must now understand what your sister means to him, he shows a pained look in front of you, and he never does that in front of others. I beg you, help him, okay? ”
I was frightened, my heart and mind were blank, looking at Qin Shu's hopeful eyes, I nodded and replied firmly: "Okay."
"But ......"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Shu's expression faded from the joy that had just risen to sadness, and his eyes were gloomy, as if the warm flame that had just risen was blown by the cold wind, and turned back into a pile of dead ashes.
My heart shook visibly a few times, and I looked at him and slowly said what I hadn't finished speaking: "But what should I do?"
I only have memories of these few months, everything is new to me, the task of getting Brother Ziqian out of the shadow of self-blame is too difficult, I don't know what to do to succeed.
Qin Shu looked at me, his eyes sparkled, and he said to me firmly, word by word: "Just be yourself!"
The starlight in his eyes infected me, just looking at him, I seemed to believe that I would definitely be able to complete this task, a strong force bombarded my heart, and the self-confidence that I had never had before surrounded my heart, I would definitely be able to complete the task!
I assured him with a solemnity that I had never had before: "I will definitely get your friend, my brother Ziqian, back on his feet, I promise!"
"Okay, I trust you." Qin Shu looked at me and smiled.
I laughed along, and on this night, we had secrets that no one else knew.
It's our secret.
Well...... It's kind of amazing!
It occurred to me that my smile was ill-intentioned......
"By the way, you must not tell Ziqian about your relationship with Ivan, and don't mention Ziqian in front of Ivan." He explained, "The two of them don't have a good relationship at school, and in a serious way, they are enemies. ”
O enemy!
"Okay, I remember." I said with a smile.
But why?
The brother who is gentle as a spring breeze, the cheerful but painful brother Ziqian...... How could it be, they should be very compatible!
It seems that Qin Shu doesn't know why, otherwise he would definitely tell me.
