There is a slight breeze in Beijing at night. It is not cold and even takes away some of the late summer heat in the air.

There were unexpectedly few people on this road today. The two chatted as they walked. Jiuqi looked up at the leaves and lights from time to time. The eldest brother occasionally pulled him when he saw an obstacle to prevent him from bumping into it.

But as he walked, a star-sized light in the sky attracted Jiuqi's attention because it kept flashing, and made him stop.

He had seen this different light a long time ago. At first, he thought it was a star or the tail of an airplane, but after looking carefully for a few times, he realized that the light was motionless and was even getting brighter, which really attracted his attention.

Jiu Qi turned around and looked around again, and saw that the sky was still pitch black as usual, so the flickering light seemed very abrupt.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing him stop and look up, the boss also stopped and looked over.

"Look, there's a light flashing."

Jiuqi quickly pointed his finger over there to show the boss.

"Flashing light? I didn't see it."

The eldest brother frowned and looked for a long time but didn't see the light that Jiuqi mentioned. He blinked hard, but still didn't see it. He couldn't help but think too much.

"I think you are just too tired from staying up late recently. You keep looking up at the light, and your eyes are sore."

"Yeah"

Jiuqi muttered something, and when he looked in that direction again, the light was gone. He couldn't help but wonder if he was really too tired, causing his eyes to be dazzled and seeing things.

"Let's go, go back and pack up and have a good sleep, everything will be fine tomorrow"

The boss pulled Jiuqi's arm, and the two of them put aside what they had just done and quickened their pace as they walked towards the dormitory building.

The two people who didn't look back didn't see that the light in the sky behind them was getting bigger and bigger, until it slowly became a fist-sized ball of light and fell to the place where Jiuqi had just stood.

The warm white light flashed quickly and then for some reason was tinged with a few strands of red light. After pausing for a moment, it flew quickly in the direction where Jiu Qi and the other man were going.

When the two returned to the dormitory, it was time to turn off the lights. They were tired after a busy day, so they simply washed up and went to bed. They had to take over the third brother's shift tomorrow.

But Jiuqi was lying in bed, feeling inexplicably sleepless. He could faintly hear the boss's even breathing coming from the bed opposite him. He looked up at the ceiling with his peach blossom eyes, and his thoughts inevitably became scattered.

Sometimes I think of my mother, the director of the orphanage, and sometimes I think of my younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage who can barely fill their stomachs but are still full of energy and obedient every day.

I also thought about how after I go to college I would no longer be excluded or bullied because of my status as an orphan.

I also met three roommates who took good care of me.

Jiuqi couldn't help but shed tears for a moment. He was thrown at the door of an orphanage when he was very young.

The orphanage at that time was not what it is today. It was just a small bungalow rented by the director’s mother in the city.

There were only six children in the yard besides him.

Because he was the seventh child picked up by the director's mother, and the director's mother's surname was Jiu, she named him Jiuqi.

When I was first found, the director's mother was curious about how such a cute and healthy boy could be abandoned.

It was not until the next day when I took him to the hospital for a physical examination that I found out that Jiuqi had a congenital heart disease. I also understood why Jiuqi was abandoned.

Because of this, Jiu Qi has inevitably received more attention from the director's mother since he was a child.

At first they were envied and rejected by their brothers and sisters because of this, but when they later learned that Jiuqi received more care from the dean's mother because of his poor health, the six of them felt particularly embarrassed.

This was also the reason why they later treated Jiu Qi even better.

In this way, Jiuqi grew up slowly in the love of the director's mother and his brothers and sisters.

Later, more and more people moved into the courtyard, and the place they lived in could no longer accommodate so many people, so they had to move to a place farther away from the city with less convenient transportation.

But after all the trouble, the money saved by the director's mother, who was not rich to begin with, was being consumed faster and faster.

Fortunately, the director’s mother’s former friends would bring some wealthy aunts to donate from time to time.

Occasionally, wealthy people who don't have children at home would hear about the orphanage and come to adopt some of the healthy children there.

This has allowed the orphanage to survive safely over the years despite being somewhat poor.

After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, Jiu Qi finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

After the dormitory was completely quiet, only the breathing sounds of Lao Da and Jiu Qi were left in the room, and the moonlight shining in made the room more quiet.

The beautiful picture did not last long, and a ball of light suddenly floated in from the window and illuminated the somewhat dark room.

The light slowly floated up from outside the balcony railing, and only a small part was visible at first, as if observing the movements inside the house.

After making sure that everyone in the house was asleep, they did not come in immediately. They waited for about ten minutes before the entire group slowly floated up. After making sure that there was no problem, they floated through the wall into the house.

The intermittent movements were like a kitten tiptoeing, afraid that the slightest noise would wake up the two sleeping people.

The ball of light floated to a place not far below the ceiling, looked around, and after confirming the person it was looking for, it floated directly in front of Jiuqi.

The warm white light became brighter after seeing Jiuqi's appearance with excitement, and made the sleeping person frown. The light ball trembled and quickly flew away, then lowered the brightness. After a long while, it confirmed that Jiuqi was still asleep before moving closer.

As if it took another careful look at Jiu Qi, the ball of light blushed for some reason.

It slowly floated down and rubbed Jiuqi's face carefully, then stretched out a small tentacle and gently touched Jiuqi's long and thick eyelashes, and the blush on Guangtu's face deepened a little.

After hesitating for a long time, it was getting light outside. The ball of light seemed to have made a decision and merged into Jiuqi's forehead.

On the last day of enrollment for freshmen, the 97th dormitory was finally full.

Everyone except Jiu Qi was very talkative, so after greeting each other, they started to rank according to the rules. They decided that the oldest one would be the dormitory head.

"I am 19 years old and was born in December." This is the third child

"I am also 19, and was born in late June."

"I'm 18, born in April"

"I'm 17, August"

"Then I am the eldest, and you are the second, third, and fourth respectively."

"No.2, that sounds terrible. How about I call you No.3 and you two go to the back row?"

"The fourth one sounds good."

The room inevitably became noisy for a while, and it was only after Jiu Qi made a suggestion that the farce was stopped.

"How about we arrange it like 1357? My name is Jiuqi."

"Okay," the three said in unison.
