I raised the whole heaven

The pupils of the young man on the opposite side shrank violently, and the expression on his face was quite different from the past. Even though the Taishang Laojun was not very careful, he noticed something abnormal, and his long white eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Xiao Ci, are you alright?"

"...It's okay," Chu Ci raised his eyes and smiled at him nonchalantly, "I'm used to it."

He stretched out his hand to pinch the wings of his nose, then hurriedly stood up, and picked up the magazine as well—under the inexplicable gaze of Taishang Laojun, he hesitated for a while, and finally slowly let go of his fingers, and picked up the magazine. The carefully packed magazines were thrown into the trash can.

——It’s not mine.

Just like in his previous life, he had trekked on that road for so long, and finally arrived at the village where the child was said to have been lost. The old mother stretched out her arms to embrace another young man of the same age who went with him. , They wailed and wept together under his gaze, while Chu Ci, who had traveled all the way, stood aside, not even knowing whether he should applaud them or not.

nothing.

He said to himself in his heart.

Anyway... Anyway, it's not the first time, but it's just a mistake to think that I really have a family, so what does it matter?From then on, he can continue to be unrestrained, and he doesn't need to worry about how to explain the relationship between him and Qin Lu to his parents. He doesn't have to worry about anything, let alone bear the pressure of supporting the elderly. He can be safe and secure, without rush or panic Live your life.

That's... what a great thing.

His face must be very ugly at the moment, because Taishang Laojun showed an unprecedented look of hesitation on his face, and then murmured to him: "Xiaoci..."

If you want to cry, stop laughing.

He wanted to say so.

But for some reason, he didn't say anything.

Probably because they are gods who have no heart, no lungs and no emotions, so they can't understand which sentence hit the sad thing of the young man in front of him and made him show such a sad expression; even gods can't do anything.He could only put his hand on Chu Ci's shoulder and pat it lightly.

"It's okay," Chu Ci rubbed the broken hair on his forehead, and said with a smile, "I——I need to go out first, huh?"

Taishang Laojun nodded numbly.

"The food I made before is still in the refrigerator," Chu Ci told them as usual, "The microwave oven must be heated for enough time before it can be taken out to eat, especially meat. I posted the time required on the microwave oven , remember to watch."

He took the key and twisted open the door, turned his head, smiled casually and said, "I'm leaving."

He had a sudden mad desire to meet someone.

Taishang Laojun looked at his reddened eye sockets and reminded him: "You are still wearing slippers—"

Only then did Chu Ci realize that he quickly lowered his head to change his shoes, then nodded at him, opened the door and went out.

He stretched out his hand to hail a taxi on the street, and the uncle driver kept looking at him through the rearview mirror for a long time, when he was waiting for a red light, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "I know who you are! You are the one ...Is that Chuci right?" He narrowed his eyes and smiled cheerfully, "Oh, my daughter is your fan, holding your photo every day - can you sign me a name?"

When he said this, he was still a little apprehensive, wondering whether these glamorous big stars would give an ordinary person like himself a face.But to his surprise, the guest's long eyelashes drooped to block the dark and inexplicable look in his eyes, and then he nodded slightly.

"Really?" The uncle driver grinned from ear to ear, and hurriedly handed the notebook and pen to him, "It's best to write another sentence to this girl, let her study hard, and don't always look at the phone on the phone all day long." .If you say it, she will definitely listen!"

The hand holding the pen paused, and then the man really wrote down what he said, and then he said, "You really love your daughter."

The uncle driver exclaimed, restarted the car, and said casually: "Which parent in the world doesn't love their children? After all, they are all connected by blood. Although it's annoying at home, if any bastard dares to bully her, I will I'll definitely go up with a stick! See if I don't beat you to death! Don't you know—"

Speaking of the baby girl, the driver's chatterbox completely opened up.He reported his daughter's test results with half joy and half pride, and then lamented how much pain he had endured in raising her. There was a burst of shock.

The passenger in the back seat tightly pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to stare at a flower on the ordinary carpet on his car, without saying a word.

He subconsciously stopped talking.

When he arrived at the destination, he insisted on not wanting Chuci's money, but the young man stubbornly stuffed much more money than the fare into his hand, and returned the notebook to him.The driver opened that page, only to find that the big star wrote two more sentences on it.

"You have a wonderful father."

"please cherish."

After reporting his name, the front desk led Chu Ci to wait in the living room; but within 2 minutes, the elevator hurried to the ground floor, and a child in a suit and leather shoes strode out from inside with shiny leather shoes. When the figure sitting on the sofa hung his head down, his eyes were full of surprise: "Brother? Why did you come here suddenly—"

Chu Ci turned his head.

Almost at the moment when he saw that person, the grievance and sadness that he was struggling to suppress erupted like a tsunami. He burst into tears—tears rushed out of his eyes, covering his entire face, without thinking, Chu Ci also knew how ugly he looked now.

But he couldn't bear it after all.

It seems that in front of people close to him, those grievances that he used to say are indifferent are suddenly magnified thousands of times. He can pretend that nothing happened in front of strangers, but when he is right Qin Lu's eyes, all the camouflage loudly declared invalid at this moment.For the first time in his life, in the hall where people come and go, he cried like a child who is still not sensible.

Qin Lu was flustered by his sudden burst of tears, and then hugged him almost helplessly, rubbed his fingertips over the pointed chin, and gently wiped away the tears for him.

"It's okay...it's okay." He thoughtfully didn't ask what happened, just hugged him tightly in his arms, patted his back as if coaxing a child and comforted him in a low voice. With infinite regret, "Cry to your heart's content, I am here."

The lady at the front desk was almost dumbfounded as she watched the boss comfort the man for a while, then immediately hugged him up by the waist, and strode up the elevator with a gesture of endless care, feeling as if she was living in a dream.

She tremblingly tugged at the corner of the colleague's clothes beside her: "Did you see it?"

"I see," the colleague's expression was filled with disbelief, "Wait, I'm wondering where to start complaining."

"Are you complaining about the iceberg-like boss being so gentle, or complaining that his gentle state is actually a man?!"

"Isn't the most important thing to hug a popular star!!!"

The employees in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.After half a day, someone said weakly: "How about... let's go outside now and see where the sun rises from today?"

"..."

"Westside, I guess, how about you?"

"I...me too."

In the office, Qin Lu squatted in front of the chair and wiped away the wet tears of the young man who was trapped in the chair.After crying bitterly, the corners of Chu Ci's eyes were red, and he was still holding on to his shirt cuffs tightly, asking in a nasal voice, "Would it affect you too much if I came in like this?" good?"

Qin Lu raised his eyebrows, then lowered his head to close his slightly trembling eyelids, and said in a low voice, "I hope brother will stop being so considerate."

"?"

"This will really make me feel more distressed." Qin Lu's eyes were dark, and he kissed the corner of his lips again, "Brother, you don't need to worry about these things. With me, you can cry if you want."

He paused, and then said, "Even if it's like this three or four times a day, it's fine. It's pretty if it cries like a little tabby cat."

Chu Ci was amused by his description, he tugged at his shirt and wiped his face: "Am I such a crybaby?"

Qin Lu leaned over to kiss him brazenly again, with the tip of his nose against the tip of his nose, soothing his emotions little by little.

He didn't open his mouth to ask the reason. During such a long time together, he knew Chu Ci better than Chu Ci knew about himself. At such a moment, he chose to accompany him quietly instead of opening his mouth to ask why .

Chu Ci would naturally tell him what he wanted to say.In the love between two men, in fact, many times they cannot be as careful and considerate as girls, but they treat each other as individuals who need to be respected and treated independently.

Holding a warm water glass in his hand, Chu Ci's mood gradually calmed down, and he raised his eyes to him: "He is not my father."

"Who?" Qin Lu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly shocked, "You mean—"

Chu Ci nodded.

Qin Lu gasped: "His wife cheated?! A grassland grew on his head?!"

"..." Chu Ci was almost choked by the water, and couldn't help but reach out to hit him, "What nonsense? They have a very good relationship as husband and wife, there can be no third party."

——There can be no third party, that is another conclusion that is even more unacceptable.

Qin Lu suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he suddenly stood up and slammed his fist on the table: "Are they playing with this kind of thing?!"

He knows better than anyone what family means to Chu Ci.That was Chu Ci's only spiritual consolation since childhood, the only driftwood in the mighty flood, and a dream gradually mixed with more than [-] years of longing and yearning.

But now, just after the dream came true, this dream was smashed to pieces again.

After getting it and then losing it again, that kind of pain makes people even more desperate - Qin Lu clenched his palms tightly, and for the first time felt the urge to bankrupt the Bai family's company.

No, going bankrupt is not enough to appease his anger!

Just send people to prison in the name of fraud!

Xu Shi saw that he was sharpening his knife, and Chu Ci forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reached out to rub his hair.

"It's okay," his voice was soft, more like talking to himself, "I will find them and ask for a reasonable reason."

----------

With her back straight, Madam Bai stood in front of Bai Anjun's bed and listened to the doctor's questions.The little girl huddled under the quilt, her face as pink and tender as a peach blossom, obediently answering these routine questions.

Bai Xiude silently squeezed the hand of his wife beside him.

Sensing his uneasiness, Madam Bai patted the other hand twice comfortingly, and then sighed inaudibly.

After measuring all the data of the body, the family doctor finally stood up and nodded to the couple: "The situation has improved a lot, and continuing to maintain such emotions will be of great benefit to her subsequent treatment .”

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and thanked the doctor repeatedly. Bai Anjun poked his head out from under the quilt, grinning and making faces at them.

"Why is Junjun in such a good mood recently?" The family doctor has stayed in their home for several years, and the tone of his speech is very familiar. Up and down."

As she spoke, she turned her head and saw a photo that was half the size of the wall. After looking at it for a long time, she smiled and said, "This is Chu Ci, right? It's very popular recently, and you can see it everywhere."

"Yes!!!" The little girl's eyes lit up all of a sudden, she couldn't wait to sit up from the bed, "Isn't he pretty?"

The doctor looked at her proud look and was surprised: "Why, this is still your idol?"

"It's my brother." Bai Anjun puffed out his chest proudly.

"Okay, okay," the doctor obviously didn't take this sentence to heart, and just smiled, "I dare say that our Junjun is still a fan of younger sisters, unlike the others who talk about their husbands and husbands all day long."

Bai Anjun's face turned red all of a sudden, and he wrung his fingers: "But I want him to be with someone else more than myself..."

"Jiang Xie?" The doctor obviously had heard a lot of gossip, so he just opened his mouth.

Some bad premonitions suddenly rose in the hearts of the Bai family couple.

In the next second, they watched their baby girl jump up from the bed all of a sudden, took out the tablet excitedly, poked open one pink video after another and started brainwashing science popularization; """Carrying the great flag"" These words they couldn't understand at all, both of them had a strange look on their faces, and they looked at each other for the last time, and they clenched their hands with tears in their eyes.

"Comrade!!!"

The Bai family couple: ...

They suddenly felt that they seemed to have been away from the earth for many years.

"You know how to play nonsense all day long." Madam Bai sighed, straightened a strand of hair hanging from her temples, Yingying walked out of the room, and said angrily, "You know how to spoil her."

"I'm used to it?" Bai Xiude rubbed his nose, obviously very helpless with this way of throwing blame.

The couple walked side by side to the sofa, looked at each other, and then fell silent.After a while, Bai Xiude said: "Junjun's illness..."

"I know what you're going to say," Mrs. Bai sighed softly, "I'm already very happy that this genetic disease inherited from my genes can survive to this day."

"That's right." Bai Xiude's voice became softer, "After all, my mother-in-law only stayed in this world for a year after she became ill, and left in a hurry."

Their hands slowly clasped together, silently being the only support for each other.

"Just one thing." Madam Bai lowered her voice very low, and said slowly, "I haven't had a good night's sleep for so many days because of that child, he—he wants his family so much, you can see Now, he is so kind to Junjun, I really can't feel better when we lie to him like this."

She stared blankly at the sky and asked, "Tell me, if he finds out, will he blame us?"

Bai Xiude held her shoulders tighter, and comforted him: "There is no other way. If he gets involved in that family, the situation will only get worse. Besides, that person has already passed away, and the rest of them will only get worse." They are all ruthless, who else will protect him?"

Madam Bai understands all these principles.If it wasn't for understanding, she wouldn't have agreed to these conditions without even thinking about it when she saw those conditions that day—but is this way of concealing all the truth really what that child wanted?

In this world, where is the truth that is concealed so tightly?

Where they couldn't see, a corner of this huge iceberg had already been revealed, and the blooming halo was icy cold and dazzlingly colorful.Family affection, love, greed...all of these are involved in it, running little by little in the mechanical gears.After spinning for two whole lives, with a click, all the secrets that were buried and hidden in the darkness will be completely exposed to people with the bright sky.

"Today's fruit must have the cause of the past life..." The expression on the face of Lord Yan did not move at all, and he said what he had said to the Taishang Laojun again, "It's just the cause of the past life, but Not necessarily what he wanted."

The Taishang Laojun who hurried over to inquire was speechless: "Can you speak human language?"

"What human words?" Yan Wang raised his eyelids slightly, "I am a god, so naturally I can't speak human words."

Taishang Laojun: ...

I'm so crazy!So is Lao Tzu!It's not that I still don't understand it!

"Rather than worrying about this," Lord Yan waved his wide sleeves leisurely, and asked with interest while resting his chin, "I heard that Yuelao has already left the customs from the Star Commander. Why don't you worry at all when you come to the world?"

"..." Taishang Laojun was at a loss, "Why should I be worried?"

Lord Yan stroked the hair rolling in his arms, and gave him a meaningful "you understand" look.

"...Wait, you don't really believe the words in Chang'e's little storybook, do you?"

"..." Hades met in silence.

The Taishang Laojun lifted the table angrily: "I have nothing to do with that old man, Yue Lao! His stomach is rounder than this seat, and his beard is far less beautiful than this seat! He wears it all day long. They are all dahongpao with no sense of beauty at all, rather than looking at him, I might as well look at the God of Wealth—"

After saying these words, he suddenly felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet.

After shivering, Taishang Laojun slowly turned his head away.

"So," Chang'e squatted behind the two of them and was frantically recording with a pen, her eyes flickering with crazy gossip, she sighed, "You are actually in love with the God of Wealth? Yuelao is just a substitute?"

Taishang Laojun: "..."

One sword, kill, my seat.

"My condolences." Lord Yan finally pulled out a hand from the silky fur, and patted him on the shoulder, "It's not the Emperor of Heaven, it's already considered good."

Taishang Laojun wiped his face in grief and indignation.

He was still a little worried about Chu Ci, and when he passed by Chu Ci's room that night, he couldn't help opening the door, and took a silent look.Knowing that Chuci didn't like others entering his room, he just stood at the door and never stepped in.

The curtains in the room were extremely tight, not even a ray of moonlight leaked in.Fortunately, he has fairy eyes, so he can see clearly even in such darkness.The quilt on the bed was slightly raised, and Chu Ci huddled in Qin Lu's arms, leaning tightly against his chest, frowning slightly, sleeping unsteadily.

Taishang Laojun narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely aware that there seemed to be something wrong in this room.

He looked carefully, and finally saw a nearly transparent human figure on the edge of Chu Ci's bed. The person lowered his head slightly, and his long hair also poured down. She stared intently, sizing up Chu Ci carefully. With a resigned expression, he carefully stretched out his hand to smooth his brows little by little.

a ghost? !

Taishang Laojun, who was afraid of ghosts, was so frightened that his legs and feet trembled, and with a force in his hand, he subconsciously slammed the door shut.

At this moment, the ghost suddenly floated over and inserted its arm into the crack of the door—with such a barrier of Yin Qi, the sound of the door closing became much quieter in an instant, without disturbing the two sleeping on the bed. people.The female ghost looked back for a long while, then turned back and looked at him expressionlessly.

Taishang Laojun wrestled with his legs, swallowed cowardly, and began to take out the magic weapon from his pocket.

Could this be a man-eating ghost? !Although it looks a bit familiar, it still looks very fierce!

What if Xiaoci is eaten... How many years will Heavenly Court have to wait for such a cook...

Seeing his frantic movements, the female ghost suddenly stretched out her hand and patted him.

Taishang Laojun shivered again.

The female ghost who attracted her attention slowly moved her finger to her lips and made a hissing motion.

"Whisper." She said so.

Taishang Laojun: "..."

He nodded hastily.

After getting the guarantee, the female ghost drifted back and continued to guard the bed.Even at such a distance, Taishang Laojun can still see how gentle her movements are when she reaches out to caress. She seems to be stroking a fragile porcelain or a treasure in her heart, and she takes the trouble to replace it over and over again. The sleeping man erases the frown between his brows.

After a while, a tear full of Yin Qi fell on Chu Ci's cheek with a thud.

Taishang Laojun was speechless, and after standing stupidly for a long time, he slapped his forehead and finally remembered why he was so familiar.

Isn't this one of the two ghosts that King Yan sent to Chuci that day? !

On the morning of the second day, he asked Chu Ci seriously:

"Your children have actually met their parents a long time ago. Do you know about this?"

Chu Ci: "...Huh?"

Taishang Laojun's expression was complete, and he was heartbroken: "Don't you guys do weird things in your room every day? That will deduct points! Deduct points!!!"

Chu Ci: "...Huh?"

The author has something to say: Taishang Laojun: You have actually met your parents a long time ago, do you know about this?
