At sunset, the mountains are far away

In the afternoon, Su Qingmo and Xia Chengqi drove to the orphanage where Dongdong lived.Since Xining is the provincial capital, the conditions in the orphanage are not too bad, but Dongdong, who is obviously a little melancholy, has not yet integrated into the big family of the orphanage.Su Qingmo asked the director of the orphanage about Dongdong's situation these days.The dean said that Dongdong was not noisy or loud, but he didn't like to talk a lot. He always looked down at the ground by himself and didn't like to contact people very much.

Xia Chengqi walked towards Dongdong who was sitting in a corner of the yard, first stretched out his feet and put them within Dongdong's sight, and then said in a cheerful voice, "My sister wants to compete with the shoes on your feet. , but bought a new pair of shoes on purpose." Dongdong raised his head when he heard the sound, saw that it was Xia Chengqi, and smiled shyly.Xia Chengqi shook the full bag in his hand, "Dongdong, can you carry it for my sister, it's too much." Dongdong stood up and took the bag from Xia Chengqi's hand. "Where is your room? Can you take my sister there?"

The dean looked at Dongdong who was helping Xia Chengqi with the bag and leading the way, and said with emotion, "This girl is quite capable." Su Qingmo who was standing by the side didn't speak, she knew this It has nothing to do with whether there is a way. The important thing is that Xia Chengqi's concern comes from the heart, not out of any morality and responsibility. Children's hearts are very sensitive, and they can grasp the subtle differences.Just like myself back then...

"Dongdong, can you do my sister a favor? My sister has a very cute and obedient little brother, who is the same age and height as you. These clothes are gifts from my sister for being obedient. You can help my sister try it first. , whether it fits or not, okay, if it doesn't fit, sister will go back."

Maybe it was because Xia Chengqi was too sincere when he said this, he couldn't see any flaws, or maybe the child was innocent by nature, and Dongdong obediently tried on these clothes one by one.After all the trials, he lowered his head slightly, without looking at Xia Chengqi, and waited for Xia Chengqi to give the next instruction.

"Actually, Dongdong is the obedient and cute little brother that my sister said, so all these clothes are yours, but like my brother, if it is damaged or dirty soon, my sister will punish you of."

After hearing this, Dongdong had a big smile on his face. "Sister, I won't."

"Then I finally talked to my sister to reward Dongdong, so let's play games with my sister now. You don't know, people who are as old as my sister say that puzzles are a game for children, and they don't play with my sister. The elder sister had no choice but to find the children to play with. Look, this jigsaw puzzle is about a big airplane."

Su Qingmo stood aside silently, she seemed to like watching Xia Chengqi interacting with Dongdong very much, Xia Chengqi at that time was a bit childish, but in fact she was carefully protecting Dongdong's sensitive heart.If there were more people like Xia Chengqi in the world, the fate of the children might be different, but being deeply dependent or even attached but being abandoned again is enough to make everything fall apart in an instant.

After Xia Chengqi completed the plane puzzle with Dongdong, he asked Dongdong to hold his hand and show her around the orphanage.The other children saw that Xia Chengqi seemed to be very close, so they came over to say hello to Xia Chengqi, and even dragged Xia Chengqi away.So Dongdong became a person again, squatting in an inconspicuous corner.Su Qingmo walked over and squatted down beside Dongdong, Dongdong looked down at the ground, while Su Qingmo stared down at Dongdong who was looking at the ground.

After a while, Su Qingmo said softly, "I used to be an orphan, just like you without parents. But now I don't rely on other people's charity and sympathy, and I can still live very well. So Dongdong, even if my brother is not by your side, you Be strong too, only then can you start to protect your brother when you grow up. Do you still remember what your brother said to let you go to school? Don’t let your brother down.” Dongdong raised her head when she heard the word “brother”, her clear eyes seemed to be It's very simple, but Su Qingmo can catch a trace of determination in these eyes.She didn't say anything, got up and drove away with Xia Chengqi.

Xia Chengqi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, took out his mobile phone, seeing that it was almost time to get off work, but when he still didn't receive any message from Tao Yan on the mobile phone, he felt a little depressed.It's just that this low mood made her despise herself a little.Xia Chengqi, Xia Chengqi, when will you miss others like this.

Su Qingmo glanced at Xia Chengqi who had a dignified expression and was immersed in his own world, and was not surprised by this.

"How long can you stay with Dongdong? One month? One year? Two years? Or one day when he starts to depend on you deeply, he will have to leave for various reasons? If he is abandoned again like that, I don't care. I think you should continue to give him hope that someone can rely on." Su Qingmo's questions always came suddenly, without any prior foreshadowing.

"So what I want to do is not just to accompany and care for Dongdong, but also to let him understand that leaving alone does not mean abandonment. Just like Dongdong never felt that his brother's inability to accompany her is considered abandonment. "

Su Qingmo thought about these words carefully in her mind, and she realized that due to her sensitive status as an orphan, she was used to characterizing everything as abandonment, because the orphan was always in a passive state, and it was not up to her whether she was abandoned or accompanied by others. "Thank you, Xia Chengqi."

Xia Chengqi's gratitude to Su Qingmo was a bit inexplicable, but looking at Su Qingmo's serious side face, he realized that the latter had no tendency to explain it, so he let the nonsense thank you.

When Xia Chengqi got off Su Qingmo's car, he saw Tao Yan standing next to the office building from a distance.When Tao Yan saw Xia Chengqi getting out of the co-pilot of a car, and getting out of the car together with a tall, serious and beautiful woman who exuded the mature charm of a professional woman, Tao Yan felt alert.Su Qingmo looked at Xia Chengqi who was staring at the pretty woman next to the building, "Your friend?"
