Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The four of them looked at each other, and finally He Jiashu spoke first: "Xiaohao, this teacher Qiu Qiu is my junior high school classmate."

Chen Ruonan was dumbfounded: "Teacher Qiu Qiu... and Brother Jiashu... were... junior high school classmates!"

Chen Ruonan's expression and reaction were so cute. Qiu Qiu suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Yes, yes, we were classmates in junior high school and desk mates. We have kept in touch all these years."

Chen Ruonan's eyes suddenly became gossipy and ambiguous. She rubbed against Qiu Qiu and asked in a low voice, "Then, with such a handsome guy like Jiashu next to you, don't you have any other thoughts?"

He Jiashu moved a little further away from the two girls and couldn't help laughing. However, He Jiahao stared at He Jiashu with a worried look on his face: "Second brother..."

The four of them found a place to sit down and talk. The teahouse by the river was another quiet place.

Qiu Qiu took the initiative to talk about his contact with He Jiashu: "Classmate Jiahao, your brother Jiashu has been very concerned about you over the years, especially since I started my internship at the school. He has learned about your recent situation from me in detail, so I still hope that you can let go a little and don't let those old things affect your health."

Talking about the old stories of the He family, Chen Ruonan picked up the teacup and drank tea to hide her embarrassment. She didn't know what was wrong with her father. It was okay for him to compare himself with Uncle He, but he also forced her and her brother to compete with He Jiahao in all aspects. It was so childish that it left people speechless.

It was Chen Ruonan's turn. She hesitantly talked about the lawsuit between herself and Chen Junli: "Chen Junli said that he found that Jiahao had changed a lot recently. I said that Jiahao changed around the Dragon Boat Festival and was no longer the lifeless person he used to be. Chen Junli said that it seemed that it was just at that time when the news of Jiayu waking up came out, so we saw where Jiahao went after he moved out of home..."

He Jiashu thought the relationship between the kids was interesting, but he didn't mention where He Jiahao lived. He Jiahao didn't want to talk about it either, so he just muttered, "I'm still number one, which proves that Chen Junli has always been very stable."

Chen Ruonan laughed out loud without any hesitation: "I told you that he must have gotten an advantage in the last midterm exam!"

Qiu Qiu felt that as a teacher, he couldn't let his students think like that, so he corrected her, "Student Ruonan, Chen Junli's academic performance is indeed very stable. You can't say he got an advantage during the midterm exam. After all, he didn't make any mistakes, and his performance was as stable as ever. It was Jiahao who had problems."

He Jiashu originally wanted to invite Qiu Qiu to dinner to express his gratitude, and it didn't hurt to have He Jiahao and Chen Ruonan join in temporarily. Chen Ruonan felt that it was too much trouble for He Jiashu and wanted to leave, but He Jiashu didn't stop him, so the three of them had lunch together at noon.

After seeing Qiu Qiu off, He Jiahao followed He Jiashu to the sanatorium. On the way, he couldn't help but ask something: "Second brother, Teacher Qiu Qiu said before that you have been paying attention to me. Do you also know that I have looked for you?"

He Jiashu pretended to glance at He Jiahao casually, and found that he was very serious about this question and a little stubborn. He sighed inwardly, but finally answered honestly: "I didn't know at the time. Later, Qiu Qiu told me that you skipped class for a day and got sick when you went back. I calculated the time and it probably coincided with the time when I moved. I also went back to ask the neighbors around, and they did see a high school student who came to see me."

"I'm sure that high school student is you."

He Jiahao felt that he should be happy, but the more he listened, the more he felt uncomfortable and wronged. "So, have you actually seen all the messages I sent you over the years?"

He Jiashu nodded, and He Jiahao felt as if a piece of his heart was missing. Tears came down in an instant, but he didn't intend to hide it. He choked up and asked, "So, why don't you ever reply to my messages?"

The scene of He Jiashu leaving without looking back a few years ago was still vivid in his mind. He Jiahao didn't dare to bet that he was the person that He Jiashu hated, so he could only ask in a roundabout way: "Just because my dad kicked you and your aunt out of the house, you not only don't want me, but also your brother?"

He Jiashu felt that he was very wronged. He was obviously the one who was most wronged, but today he was being questioned and blamed by He Jiahao.

Turning his head, not wanting He Jiahao to see his expression that was about to lose control, he tried his best to make his voice sound normal, and He Jiashu chuckled and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Once my life story was exposed, my father was bedridden and died. Then my eldest brother got into a serious car accident and lay in bed as a vegetable for many years. He almost...never woke up again!"

"I can't hate you because you were just being stubborn for a moment and got hurt badly, and the whole thing has nothing to do with you;"

"I can't hate my second uncle who spoke harshly and kicked me and my mother out of the He family, because he was just protecting his eldest brother and nephew, as well as the reputation of the He family;"

"I can't hate my mother. Even if she did something wrong, it was just a momentary mistake. The result of the destruction of my family is also a punishment for her. "

"So, the only people I can hate are myself and Lin Junrong who deceived my mother."

"But, just like that, can I face the He family as usual?"

He Jiahao had long regretted what he had just said. Seeing He Jiashu so self-loathing, he could only hug He Jiashu tightly, calling him "second brother" over and over again, saying that everyone wanted him to go home.

But He Jiashu was more clear-headed than He Jiahao. He knew why he returned to Xiqiao again, and he did not engage in any meaningless arguments. He just tried to adjust his emotions, hoping that He Jiayu would not notice anything when facing him.

"Let's go, pack your things up and don't let Big Brother worry."

The two of them pretended well, but He Jiayu was no pushover. When He Jiahao was tidying up the ward and He Jiashu was pushing him out for a walk, He Jiayu caught up with He Jiashu and asked, "Weren't you all so happy when you went out this morning? Why are you all so unhappy when you came back?"

"Could it be that you two had a fight behind my back again?"

He Jiashu felt that the word "again" was inappropriate, "Brother, Xiaohao and I have a good relationship, how could we quarrel?"

He Jiayu chuckled: "How can you not quarrel? I've heard that one of you is very concerned about Xiaohao through your junior high school classmates, but you are unwilling to contact him directly; the other one will skip classes to find him whenever there is any news. If you are not brothers, I'm almost doubting whether there is something going on between you two."

He Jiashu looked up to the sky in silence.
