Rebirth of Inescapable

How should I put it, this person can be said to be a very special existence to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun seldom went out since he was a child, except that Wu Xiaofei, the son of Professor Wu's family, would sometimes come to him, and spent the rest of the time in the study. When he was in junior high school, he saw Tao Qingping for the first time.

Tao Qingping back then was not as handsome as he is now in a suit and leather shoes, on the contrary, he was very embarrassed.

Tao Qingping's family was not well off, his mother left him and ran away with others. There was only one father in the family who only knew how to drink and gamble. Already so poor that he didn’t even have food to eat, he still chose to go to high school, which is a key middle school in the city, because his grades in the senior high school entrance examination ranked third in the city, and the school reduced his tuition and miscellaneous fees, but he still didn’t The money paid for his accommodation, so he spent several weeks in the park next to the school, knowing that Qi Yun's mother, Zhuang Qing, knew about it.

Zhuang Qing immediately made a decision to take him back when she knew his situation. At that time, Qi Yun was studying in the junior high school of the same school. For Tao Qingping, it was completely enough.

Tao Qingping is not a very talkative person, he is tall but very thin, which looks a bit scary at first glance, and Qi Yun is like a prince living in a castle, no matter where the two of them come from It's all wrong, but no one thought that the two would get along so well.

Of course, this does not rule out that Qi Yun has no friends of the same age since he was a child, and the sudden appearance of an older brother is a novelty for him.

Tao Qingping is smart, but he is not Qi Yun, there is no way that he can easily grasp what he has read and learned, so he has to read in the study every day until late, because going to university is very difficult for him. Said it was the only way out.

Qi Yun once didn't understand him very much, probably because he has never pursued anything since he grew up. It seems that as long as he wants, he already has it, so he can't believe that someone will work so hard.

Sometimes Qi Yun finds it funny when he sees him scratching his hair because of a topic that doesn't seem very difficult, because Tao Qingping is very serious most of the time, he doesn't like to talk or laugh, he has always been Keeping a straight face, this aroused Qi Yun's interest. For a long time, Qi Yun passed the time by looking at Tao Qingping's tangled expression.

Tao Qingping is a very charismatic person, why do you say that?Anyone who has been with him knows that he has always said what he says. He may not have money or power, but he values ​​love and righteousness. This is also the reason why his business grew bigger and bigger. Looking at Qi Yun, he was hit on the head and had five stitches but he didn't say a word.

This matter started from Qi Yun's second year of junior high school.

A person like Qi Yun is destined to be unpopular in the society. In people's eyes, his arrogance is more or less a sign of arrogance and ignorance of flattery. That's why he got into trouble. A group of gangsters near the school came to him. The reason is that He made their boss' "sister" sad. Of course, Qi Yun still doesn't know who that "sister" is.

Qi Yun's white and clean young man has no expression on his face, even if he asks for help, he stands there as if the ones standing in front of him are not some vicious gangsters, but some passing passers-by, his appearance is really against those bad boys Contempt, so even if he didn't speak, it established the situation that he would be beaten.

And Tao Qingping also appeared at that time, he was like a hero who descended out of thin air, one person against five, and he had to protect Qi Yun so tightly that it was the first time Qi Yun saw Tao Qingping fight, that kind of feeling It was as if he was desperate for his life, and he went all out, the scene was bloody, even after being knocked down and kneeling on the ground, he still hugged Qi Yun, as if he would never let go.

Qi Yun's feelings towards him are complicated, he is like his elder brother, he seems to appear by his side at any time, to solve all the problems for him, even though he seems not as smart as he imagined, even some simple He couldn't even solve the problem. Although Qi Yun was still as cold as ever on the face, he was still very happy. He was too lonely to have such a person to accompany him.

Later, he was admitted to a university in the south. The night before he was about to leave, Qi Yun saw him sitting in the study for a long time, as if he wanted to say something to him, but in the end he still didn't say it.

He came back several times in those few years, and Qi Yun could clearly see a very flamboyant aura from him, even though he still didn't like to talk, standing there could give people a very strong sense of presence, He is a natural businessman, and he has been able to grasp the direction of this shopping mall very well during the few years in college.

The last time Qi Yun saw him was six years ago, the day before he went to France, Tao Qingping came to see him suddenly, and it was not until a long time later that Qi Yun knew that he had lost a very important client that day, which made him I have been puzzled for a long time, but he is still very happy, at least someone cares about him like this.

Qi Yun often thinks that in fact, Tao Qingping is more like a descendant of the Qi family than himself. He is more filial than Qi Yun and knows how to be grateful.Zhuang Qing treated her as her biological parents.

Tao Qingping also saw Song Bai, and his expression was slightly surprised, as if Song Bai's appearance was an unacceptable thing. Seeing his stiff expression, Song Bai was a little puzzled, stepped forward, and his attitude was still It is friendly: "Hello, Mr. Tao, I am Song Bai, a poet of Tang poetry and Song poetry of Song Dynasty, the white of the empty room."

He was obviously taken aback, and soon his expression returned to his original calm, "Hello, I'm glad we can meet again."

After saying this, Song Bai was a little confused.

"When I went to see you in the hospital, you were resting. I didn't feel embarrassed to disturb you. I'm glad to see that you have recovered now."

Song Bai looked at Qiao Yi suspiciously.

Qiao Yi leaned into Song Bai's ear and whispered, "The one who lives next door to us."

Isn't Humin next door?How could he...

Song Bai looked at him again, saw that he was looking at him too, and then smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, I'm fine now, just call me Abai."

Zhuang Qing came out from the kitchen and began to greet everyone for dinner. Taking advantage of this moment, Qiao Yi caught up with Song Bai: "Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Song Baitou said without looking back.

"I don't know you, but his surname is Tao."

Song Bai was at a loss for words, and quickened his pace.

Qiao Yi was a little unhappy, but not easy to get angry, followed him, and said in a low voice: "You really don't remember who he is?"

"I told you I don't know you! What the hell are you like me!"

Perhaps the commotion was a bit loud, Tao Qingping turned around and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"No." Qiao Yi pouted.

Qiao Yi is actually very good at making people happy. At least Qi Luyuan and Zhuang Qing were coaxed into narrowing their eyes. He always seems to be able to talk about a topic just right, and this topic happens to resonate with them. Later, I didn't know how to chat, and talked about Song Bai's birthday. At that time, Song Bai was silently eating tofu skin with his head down.

Tao Qingping was a little surprised, "It turns out that Abai's birthday is also today." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat.

Song Bai blurted out without thinking: "Don't eat it! It has fennel in it!"

At this time, the dining table became quiet, and everyone looked at Song Bai in surprise.

Tao Qingping was the quickest to react, and then put the meat in the recycling tray aside, then chuckled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, if you don't tell me, I will suffer."

"Look at my carelessness, I even forgot that Qingping is not allergic to fennel. Fortunately, Xiao Song stopped you in time, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital again later." Zhuang Qing moved the plate to another place.

Qi Luyuan glanced at Song Bai, "Xiao Song and Qingping know each other?"

"He lives next door to us." Qiao Yi said, "Ah Bai was injured before, and he is still holding on to him."

"Injured? Why did you get injured? Is it serious?" Zhuang Qing was taken aback.

Qiao Yi looked at Tao Qingping with a lukewarm expression, "Accidentally broke his head, and he was able to walk into their yard. At that time, he was holding on to Mr. Tao's clothes, and he couldn't open them no matter what."

Sensing Qiao Yi's hostility, Tao Qingping was a little baffled, but his face remained calm: "I was also shocked at that time. I remember that Xiao Song read a poem. It seems to be in French, right?"

Song Bai obviously doesn't remember this memory much anymore, it was an unpleasant experience, but he just had some vague impressions, he paused for a while, and finally nodded dumbly.

After dinner, Qi Luyuan took Song Bai into the study.

Qi Luyuan's study room is very worthy of attention. It is absolutely in the style of everyone. Most of the books in it are rare and rare books. It can be said that Qi Yun's childhood was spent here.

As soon as you enter, there is a smell that is familiar to your bones, that kind of precipitating smell of history that cannot disappear in a long time, the sun outside falls on the window sill, and the dark brown peach wood table has a history. Presented by the master of Chinese studies, there is also an ancient scroll of "Autumn Mountains and Rain" on the wall. Song Bai couldn't help holding on to the carved shelf. There were traces of engraving with a knife when he was a child. beat up.

There is a small wooden ladder in the corner, Song Bai seems to have seen that little figure stepping on the ladder and flipping through the book on tiptoe.

"That's what Xiaoyun used to take books when he was a child." Qi Luyuan came out from the inner room, holding a slender brocade box in his hand, with a soft and gentle expression, as if he was recalling something, "He was not tall when he was a child." Gao, couldn't find the book on it. Once he wanted to get that "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes" again, so he used a large antique vase in the study as a foothold. He fell down, broke his head, broke the vase, and cut his hand a lot. When I came back and saw him lying on the ground gasping, I was so scared that I couldn’t even walk.”

Song Bai smiled wryly, and subconsciously touched the inside of his arm, only to realize that he was no longer Qi Yun, and this body did not have the wound that received three stitches.

"This child didn't like to talk since he was a child, but he is a good boy." Qi Luyuan recalled: "He hardly cried, and he would not cry when encountering anything, just like he was in pain at that time. Her mother was in tears, but he told her calmly that he didn't hurt, so don't cry. Later, I saw off an old tree in the ancestral house and nailed this small ladder for him. In a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed..."

"...I'm sorry." Song Bai's voice was very low, but Qi Luyuan still heard it.

He pushed his glasses, "I'm sorry."

"For reminding you of such unpleasant things...I'm...sorry."

"No no no, this is my most precious memory, how can it be unpleasant?" He smiled slightly, and then handed him the slender brocade box, "This was originally for Xiaoyun, who I know..." He sighed, "If you don't mind, please accept it. You and Xiaoyun have the same birthday, which is also considered fate, so if you want to come and see us two old men."

Song Bai's hand trembled uncontrollably, and almost fell when he took the brocade box. Fortunately, Qiao Yi caught it, opened the box, and a light fragrance slowly wafted out, as if he had traveled through a time-space tunnel. Distant and ethereal, Song Bai saw a folding fan lying quietly inside.

"This is what I met in the antique market when I went to Shanghai before. It is a real Shu fan. I think it is well preserved, so I bought it."

Song Bai took it out carefully. The fan bone was made of sandalwood, and the whole was carved with lacquer. The side bone was hollowed out, and there were 32 extremely small tooth plaques inside. The fan bone was shaped like a dovetail, and the fan bone nail hinge was hidden inside. There are no traces; the fan is made of white paper with three alums, and the paper is thick and clean. After such a long time, the splashed ink calligraphy and paintings on it are still clear and elegant.

"What kind of fan is Shu fan?" Qiao Yi stretched his head to take a look, but he wasn't very interested, but when he saw how Song Bai liked it, his heart softened.

Song Bai, who had a rare good temper, turned it over and explained: "The Shu fan is the Sichuan fan. There is a record of "Sichuan fan" in Tan Qian's "Zaolin Zazu". Presented to Prince Duoduo of Qingyu, the Shu fan was also a treasure in the world at that time."

Qi Luyuan nodded, "Unexpectedly, Xiao Song also researched these things."

Song Bai was taken aback for a moment, "I've only read a little."

At this time Tao Qingping walked in, as if he had something to discuss with Qi Luyuan, the two walked into the inner room, Song Bai took this opportunity to take a good look at the place where he grew up, and suddenly I saw a picture hanging on the wall behind, and the words "God's will tricks people" were clearly written by me.

Following his gaze, Qiao Yi smiled triumphantly. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Do you think I won't do any investigation? Although I recognize it, I gave it to Professor Qi for confirmation. He I can tell at a glance that this is his son's handwriting, do you think there is still a mistake?"

As he spoke, he bit Song Bai's ear tip. Song Bai was startled, and his whole body became stiff.

"Ah Bai, you are not allowed to look at other men, otherwise, I will be angry." He lowered his voice with a hint of intimacy.

Song Bai's hands couldn't help tightening, he didn't know why he was angry, Qiao Yi was like this, overbearing and unreasonable, isn't he used to it?Why are you still so angry? !
