Chapter 21 chapter 21

In fact, Lu Xiumu was able to gradually return to his normal state, and he had to thank one person, that is Qiao Lianjian.

Qiao Lianjian still clearly remembers that when Lu Xiumu first came to Qiao's house, he looked normal on the surface.

Eat big mouthfuls, sleep on time, work and rest regularly, neither happy nor sad.

But...he just kept silent and refused to speak.

Sometimes he would stand by the window sill and just be in a daze for a whole day, ignoring anyone who told him to.

The new butler of the Qiao family still thought that Lu Xiumu was dumb.

But Qiao Lianjian doesn't like that.He felt that the way to heal Lu Xiumu was to keep communicating with him and lead him out of grief.

Even if Lu Xiumu ignored him, at least he could listen, right?

So every time when eating, Qiao Lianjian would sit next to Lu Xiumu and keep talking to him about things.

It's all trivial things, but Qiao Lianjian can talk about them every time, making the other servants of Qiao's family laugh secretly.

Later, Qiao Lianjian learned about everything that happened to Lu Xiumu from Qiao's mother.

He didn't feel anything, just felt distressed.

Obviously, at Lu Xiumu's age, it's time to enjoy his youth.But now he is shouldering such a heavy fate.

Although this is very unfair to Lu Xiumu, he must personally jump over this cut.

Qiao Lianjian was studying at university in the next city at that time, so he couldn't come back often.

But as soon as he came back, he would bring some small gifts to Lu Xiumu, and then he would follow behind Lu Xiumu tirelessly, telling him some of his experiences.

Sometimes Lu Xiumu would listen attentively, and sometimes he would tilt his head, quietly thinking about the meaning of Qiao Lianjian's words.

However, he was still reluctant to speak.

One night, Lu Xiumu couldn't sleep and felt thirsty, so he turned over and got out of bed, slipped on a pair of slippers, and planned to find water to drink.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Qiao Lianjian standing at the door of his room, which shocked Lu Xiumu a lot.

Qiao even saw that he didn't expect Lu Xiumu to open the door suddenly, so he was quite frightened.

Holding a huge pillow in his arms, he gently patted his chest with his hands.

Lu Xiumu glanced at him and opened his mouth.The original intention was to say: I am going to drink water, but you are blocking my way.

Qiao Lianjian immediately understood what he meant, and stuffed the pillow into Lu Xiumu's arms, and said, "I see, do you want some water? I'll pour it for you now."

After getting along for so long, in order to communicate better with Lu Xiumu, Qiao Lianjian has developed the ability for Lu Xiumu to know his intentions without opening his mouth.

Lu Xiumu had no choice but to stand at the door in a daze, hugging the pillow that was taller than himself.

Not long after, Qiao Lianjian turned back with a glass in his hand.

Qiao Lianjian handed the water to Lu Xiumu, and said, "I heard movement in your room and thought you couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come over to accompany you. But I was afraid of disturbing you, so I had to keep standing at the door."

Lu Xiumu was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Joe was stunned even seeing it.He even doubted his own hearing.

Just now...Lu Xiumu...he...speaked, right? ?

Qiao Lianjian waved his hands in panic: "No, no."

Lu Xiumu turned his body sideways and whispered, "Come in and sit down."

So Qiao Lianjian walked in unceremoniously and sat down.

Lu Xiumu hugged the pillow and sat on the edge of the bed cautiously.Compared with the huge pillow in his arms, he looked even smaller.

Qiao Lianjian walked up and down Lu Xiumu's room nervously, not knowing what to do.

Obviously the layout of Lu Xiumu's room was exactly the same as his room, but he still pretended to be novel and chatted with Lu Xiumu.

"Why are you talking so much to me?" Lu Xiumu asked suddenly.

Qiao Lianjian paused and looked at Lu Xiumu.

The distance was too far and the light was too dim, so he couldn't see Lu Xiumu's expression clearly for a while.He just felt Lu Xiumu's gaze.

Lu Xiumu moved his hand, as if he was drinking water.

When Qiao Lianjian approached him, Lu Xiumu also stared at him intently.

Qiao Lianjian knew that he was waiting for the answer to that question.

Qiao Lianjian walked up to Lu Xiumu and poked his forehead with his finger.

Just when Lu Xiumu was in a daze, Qiao Lianjian said in a low voice, "I know what you're thinking, but I'm not sympathizing with you, nor because I pity you. It's just because you entered the door of Qiao's house, you are my family , my younger brother. It is my duty as an older brother to enlighten you."

His voice was very calm, without any ups and downs between bytes.

He didn't look at the expression on Lu Xiumu's face now, but continued: "I'll just say this once, listen carefully. You don't have to blame yourself for not protecting your mother well. You didn't do anything wrong , you are good enough."

There is nothing wrong with you, you are good enough.

Lu Xiumu opened his eyes wide.

All along, he has been longing to hear this sentence.

Longing for someone to tell him that you have done nothing wrong.

Before he knew it, his eye sockets were already moist.

Lu Xiumu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, but he couldn't hold back, and cried louder and louder.

This was the first time he cried in a while.

The wall he built in his heart collapsed at that moment, and the surging emotions in his heart broke through the dam.

Seeing Lu Xiumu suddenly start crying, Qiao Lianjian became flustered.

Lu Xiumu's whole body trembled lightly, like a leaf trembling in the wind, looking so thin and helpless.

Qiao Lianjian hesitated for a moment, then took another step closer, carefully pulling Lu Xiumu into his arms.

Lu Xiumu grabbed Qiao Lianjian's sleeve, buried his whole face in Qiao Lianjian's arms, and wept wantonly and loudly.

This crying voice poured out the emotions that he had been struggling to suppress for the past few days.

And Qiao Lianjian just kept lovingly stroking Lu Xiumu's hair, repeating to Lu Xiumu over and over again tirelessly: "It's okay, I'm here."

Lu Xiumu cried and cried, and then fell silent.It seemed that she was tired from crying and fell asleep.

Qiao Lianjian smiled wryly, carried Lu Xiumu back to the bed, helped him wipe away the wet tears from the corners of his eyes, and covered him with a quilt.

Qiao Lianjian lowered his head and found that the piece of clothing on his chest was already wet.

He couldn't remember how he fell asleep that night.

He only knew that when he woke up the next morning, he was still curled up on the other side of Lu Xiumu's bed.

He opened his eyes in confusion.

Lu Xiumu was still sleeping soundly, his sleeping position was like that of a child.

Warm sunlight poured in from the window, covering the two of them.

The chirping of birds outside the window told him that a brand new day had come.

Qiao Lianjian turned over and continued to collapse.

Well, what's the matter, it's not too late to talk about it when you really wake up.

Since that day, Lu Xiumu has become more cheerful, and the smiles on his face have gradually increased.

Even when they found out that Lu Xiumu would harm himself, Qiao Lianjian and Qiao's mother did not stay away from him because of this, but tried their best to help him overcome it and find the best psychiatrist for him.

For Qiao Lianjian, Lu Xiumu has long been an inseparable relative in his life.

At this moment, his younger brother fainted due to excessive blood loss and lay quietly in the ward.

Qiao Lianjian sat dejectedly on the seat in the aisle of the hospital.

Time passed without interruption, and it was already late at night.

There were no more people walking around, and this aisle seemed extraordinarily lonely and empty.

Qiao Lianjian looked along this seemingly endless aisle, but there was nothing but darkness.He closed his eyes.

The pain in his head prevented him from thinking clearly.The emotions in his chest were surging, making him restless.

Why...why did it become like this...

There was a rush of footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor, Qiao Lianjian opened his eyes and followed the sound.

It was Yu Zixuan who came trotting all the way, and behind her was a tall figure.

Qiao Lianjian narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the person behind Yu Zixuan.

It turned out...it was Qi Lin.

Yu Zixuan ran to Qiao Lianjian's side, and took a few breaths: "Brother Lianjian, is Xiao Mu okay?"

Qiao Lianjian stood up: "Well, I just fainted temporarily, and I'm getting an infusion."

He took a step forward and walked towards Qi Lin.

Qi Lin's throat was dry, he swallowed a few times, and was about to bow to Qiao Lianjian and say sorry, but Qiao Lianjian's fist swung over without any warning.

The force was so great that Qi Lin couldn't stand still for a while, and took several steps back.

He was covering his right face, it was burning hot, and there was a little blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Lianjian standing in front of him.

His figure is handsome and straight, but his eyes are full of hostility.

Qiao Lianjian's voice was extremely cold: "Do you still dare to come? Do you still dare to appear in front of him?"

Qi Lin lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm here to say sorry to him."

"He doesn't need it." Qiao Lianjian stretched out his hand, pointed to the other side of the aisle, and said decisively, "Get lost."

Qi Lin didn't move.

Qiao Lianjian was burning with anger: "I tell you to get out! I told you last time, if you hurt Xiao Mu again, I will make you feel pain worse than death. But I don't have the energy to deal with you now, so I will take advantage of it." I still think you are pleasing to the eye, get out of here now!"

Qi Lin still didn't move a bit, he said persistently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Qiao Lianjian sneered, aimed at Qi Lin's right cheek, and threw a second punch hard.

This punch directly knocked Qi Lin to the ground.

Seeing that the form was wrong, Yu Zixuan hurried up to grab Qiao Lianjian who was about to rush forward: "Forget it, Brother Lianjian, this is a hospital, and there are other patients resting. Let's talk about it later."

Qi Lin wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up forcefully.

"I have something to say to Lu Xiumu, I will leave as soon as I finish speaking, and I promise not to stay too long." He said in a deep voice.

"No! There are no doors!"

There were bloodshot eyes in Qiao Lianjian's eyes. After a day of running around, he was obviously too tired.

"Do you know how much energy I have spent to make him come out of the shadow of losing his parents! Do you know how much energy I have spent protecting him all the time! Qi Lin, let me ask you, why do you always hurt him for granted? Him!? Why do you remind me every time I show up that my efforts are in vain!?" Qiao Lianjian was no longer calm.

Qi Lin couldn't answer.

There was a stalemate between them, falling into a brief silence.

"Brother." A voice as thin as a mosquito sounded.

The door of the ward was opened at some point, and Lu Xiumu stood at the door.

His complexion can be described as pale as paper.

Because he had just woken up, his body was very weak, and he needed to grab the doorknob to barely stand.

Qiao Lianjian was in a daze for a while before changing into a happy expression.

His voice trembled uncontrollably: "Xiao Mu, when did you wake up?"

He walked over and supported Lu Xiumu.

Yu Zixuan almost threw herself on it.She grabbed Lu Xiumu's cold hand, tears streaming down her face: "Xiao Mu... you make me worry to death... woo woo woo..."

Lu Xiumu reached out and stroked her hair.He smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm alive and well!"

Yu Zixuan ignored his jokes and sobbed intermittently.

Lu Xiumu then looked over to Qi Lin.The eyes met in the air, and after a few seconds, Lu Xiumu looked away.

He said to Qiao Lianjian: "Brother, let Qi Lin in, I have something to say to him."

Qiao Lianjian lowered his eyes and said displeasedly, "I can't let you have any contact with him anymore."

Lu Xiumu showed a reassuring smile: "It's okay. I just want to talk to him clearly, please, brother. You should also go to rest quickly, your complexion is worse than mine."

Qiao Lianjian didn't speak, as if he was thinking.

After a long time, he glared at Qi Lin, like a warning.

Qiao Lianjian said to Yu Zixuan in a low voice: "Let's go, give them some space."

After all, Qiao Lianjian took Yu Zixuan and left.

Now, only Qi Lin and Lu Xiumu are left.

Lu Xiumu still smiled as usual: "Come in and sit down, you can't talk about anything just standing around."
