Virgin and Rabbit

On the night when he heard the good news, Tang Shuxiu said it while the whole family was having dinner.Tang Jinyan and Tang Shenxing, who were still young at the time, were very happy and cheered all night, "We have a younger brother, we have a younger brother", and Tang Jundao, who was only two years old, followed suit for no apparent reason.Tang Shuhe didn't say anything, finished his meal with a blank face, and went back to the study, but when Tang Shuxiu went to the study to find him that night, he accidentally saw him browsing the interface for buying baby products.

Tang Shuxiu: "..."

Tang Shuhe: "..."

He quickly put the phone away, coughed in disguise, and asked her, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, that." Tang Shuxiu finally realized, and quickly showed him the company documents in his hand.

Later, when Tang Shuxiu and Tang Shushan went to visit their younger brother's family secretly, Tang Shuhe would pretend to be casual and say to them: "I bought something for Jundao before, but it seems that I bought something wrong. Take a look."

Then the two of them took a look at the toys for children aged 0-1, the small clothes that Tang Jundao couldn't fit, the milk powder for infants...

Tang Shuxiu deliberately said: "Brother, Jundao has been weaned a long time ago, and clothes and toys are not suitable for her. She is more than two years old."

Tang Shuhe's back stiffened, apparently he didn't expect Tang Jundao to tear down his platform, and said in a rough voice, "Then you can deal with it casually!"

Tang Shushan and Tang Jundao giggled behind their backs, and sent all the things that Tang Shuhe "accidentally bought wrong" to Tang Shujin's family who had just given birth to a baby.

However, whenever they brought up visiting his younger brother's family, Tang Shuhe would always say angrily: "What are you looking at?! People have said that they want to sever ties with us. Are we going to put hot faces on cold asses? No!"

Tang Shujin also said: "Forget it, second brother, sister, you better not come."

So they only communicate online.Sometimes Tang Shujin would send them photos, such as Tang Mianjin sleeping, Tang Mianjin climbing for the first time, Tang Mianjin calling mom and dad for the first time...Through social media communication, they can see this little baby named Tang Mianjin, they My nephew is growing up day by day.

So cute!Tang Shuxiu often yelled in his heart, and then passed it on to other members of the family, but not to Tang Shuhe.Once Tang Shuxiu made a slip of his hand and sent it to the family group that did not block Tang Shuhe, and quickly withdrew it.As a result, when eating that night, Tang Shuxiu ate slowly because he was full from the snacks in the afternoon, and vaguely heard Tang Shuhe sitting on the sofa coldly humming: "Eating is slow, but withdrawing hands is fast."

Tang Shuxiu didn't dare to speak, and just lowered his head to pick up vegetables.

So, they kept in touch like this for seven years; until later, Tang Shuxiu was used to this kind of communication and was content with it.She didn't think about meeting her younger brother anymore. It seemed that Tang Shuhe also forgot the existence of Tang Shujin. The two families developed independently based on the weak and stable connection.

Until disaster strikes and they lose their little brother.

Tang Shuxiu has never dared to think about it. If they had insisted a little more and tried to persuade the eldest brother, would Tang Shujin's family not have to live alone far away from other family members, and could go back to the Tang family mansion and If they live together, then the disaster will not happen?

After his brother and sister-in-law were buried, Tang Shuxiu once asked Tang Shuhe: "Brother, do you regret it?"

Tang Shuhe didn't speak.After a long time, the pillar of the Tang family bent his back slightly, his eyes were so red that he seemed to be bleeding.Tang Shuxiu turned his back before his tears flowed out, pretending to look away.

How could he not regret it.

It was his autocracy, domineering, and duplicity that prevented his younger brother from being protected by the Tang family.

Duan Nian said to him that day: "Even if you give up on him like before, I will always protect him."

At that moment, he not only felt the tingling of being poked at the painful spot, but also a sense of relief.

His younger brother's only son, his youngest nephew, was able to be preserved under Duan Nian's protection.

That's good.

Qi Yufan: "Then what do you think?"

"What do you think? I don't think much."

Tang Mianjin played with the leaves of the green plants on the front desk and said with a wrinkled face, "They all love me, so I love them too."

In terms of root cause, the responsibility does not lie with Tang Shuhe nor Tang Shujin.It can only be said that it is God's will that will lead to disasters.

"Who would have expected that the car would explode? If it hadn't been for the explosion, maybe I would still be living with my mom and dad, maybe my dad and uncle had reconciled, we could have dinner with them every weekend, and we would still be the three of us when we got home Small world..." Tang Mianjin smiled and said, "Who could have predicted the disaster? It wasn't the uncle and my dad who quarreled and caused the car to explode. Why should I hate them?"

Qi Yufan: "...I didn't expect you to be quite transparent."

While talking, Duan Nian sent a voice message saying that he had arrived at the corner of the street.Tang Mianjin handed over the storefront to the clerk, and walked out the door with Qi Yufan.

"I'm going this way, you go, bye." Qi Yufan pointed to the front.

Tang Mianjin happily said goodbye to him, and walked to Duan Nian's car.Duan Nian sat in the driver's seat, and through the front window, Yaoyao and Qi Yufan exchanged a look.

The two sides looked at each other expressionlessly for a second, and at the same time looked away.

Duan Nian took Tang Mianjin to the commercial center. Originally, Duan Nian wanted to take Tang Mianjin to eat French cuisine, but Tang Mianjin wanted to eat grilled chicken skewers. So without further ado, I went to an izakaya instead.

There is an izakaya in the commercial center whose owner is Japanese. The grilled chicken skewers are full of flavor. Tang Mianjin likes to eat there from time to time.The two sat in the lively izakaya, Tang Mianjin squinted his eyes in satisfaction while eating yakitori and drinking plum wine.Duan Nian poked his bulging cheek while drinking sake, Tang Mianjin glanced at him with a smile.

"Where are you going to sleep at night?" Duan Nian asked him.Tang Mianjin doesn't go back to Tang's house very often recently. Although he says he doesn't blame them, it may be difficult to accept emotionally. Tang Mianjin will also go back to Duan Nian's small building or his other houses to sleep recently.

But today Tang Mianjin thought about it and said, "Go home."

The home he talked about was naturally Tang's house, Duan Nian didn't say anything, after dinner, Duan Nian called the driver at home to drive the car away, and went for a walk with Tang Mianjin.

It rained in the afternoon, the ground was wet, and there were small puddles from time to time.Tang Mianjin was in a good mood. He stepped into the puddle and splashed water, which affected Duan Nian's shoes. He went over and hugged Tang Mianjin horizontally: "Return the skin?"

Tang Mianjin screamed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" Then he whispered in Duan Nian's ear: "Brother Duan Nian, put me down..."

Duan Nian was so yelled that half of his body was about to collapse, so he put him on the ground and patted his butt lightly.Fortunately, there were not many people around, and no one saw the two of them fighting.

Facing the cool evening breeze, the two walked out of the bustling business district and onto a quiet path.The dim street lamps cast a gentle light on the road, and there were light spots on the wet ground. Everything was silent, except for the occasional sound of insects in the bushes.The atmosphere was just right, and the two of them stopped under the lamp in a tacit understanding and kissed.

After the kiss was over, the two people's lips were still touching, and their noses rubbed against their noses and whispered for a while.Tang Mianjin lightly rubbed the knuckles of Duan Nian's fingers. Duan Nian's fingers were slender and well-defined, with a thick layer of calluses on the palm and the tiger's mouth.He took Duan Nian's hand to look at it under the light, and kissed the callused place lovingly.

"Tired?"

"Huh?" Duan Nian realized what he was asking, "It's okay. I'm tired at first, but I'll be fine when I get used to it."

He kissed the corners of Tang Mianjin's mouth, the tip of his nose, and his eyes.

"The most important thing is that there is a child waiting for my protection. Thinking of this, I won't be tired anyhow."

"Hey, you're so perverted." Tang Mianjin took a step back and said with a smile, "I was only so young back then, and you just liked me, you child-lover."

Duan Nian liked him so much when he saw his small appearance, pinched his chin and kissed him once, and kissed him again.After a long while, he said softly: "I didn't like it when I was a child. I just felt that this kid needed me very much, and I really wanted to protect him. I didn't think about anything else at first, but I don't know why. safety, and use it as a motivation to keep working hard. Then one night... well, I dreamed about you, and I started to feel that something was wrong."

"How old were you then?"

"Let's not talk about me, you had already drawn a card at that time, you looked like [-], [-]." Duan Nian recalled, "I was very busy at that time, and I took on a lot of tasks, so I didn't have so much time to see you, please. Xia Lingyan protected you. Then one night, I told him that I was coming to follow, but there was a temporary mission. I thought about installing bugs and positioning for you, so there should be no problem in such a short time... something happened in the end .”

"Ah." Tang Mianjin suddenly remembered that day long ago, when he was sent to the hospital due to food poisoning and almost died.

"At that time, I thought I was going to die." Duan Nian said, "I have carefully protected you for so long, so closely, if I lost you because of a momentary negligence, I don't know what to do..."

"Oh." Tang Mianjin rubbed Duan Nian's cheeks, puckered his lips, followed him and pouted, and said vaguely, "I'm fine, right? Don't worry, brother Duan Nian. If you worry so much, you will lose your hair."

It seems that since Tang Mianjin recovered his memory, the two of them have switched roles, from Duan Nian comforting Tang Mianjin to Tang Mianjin comforting Duan Nian from time to time.Duan Nian doesn't want to talk too much about the past, but whenever he sees Tang Mianjin standing in front of him who has regained his memory, and there are childhood memories belonging to the two of them in his head, Duan Nian can't help but repeat it again and again. Sandi confides his hesitation and fear during that time.

Tang Mianjin can only be comforted by Duan Nian after having a nightmare, similarly, Duan Nian only shows Tang Mianjin's vulnerable side about Tang Mianjin, and can only be comforted by Tang Mianjin.

It was getting late, and the two held hands and quickened their pace to go back. When they were about to walk out of the path, there were two close figures in front of them.They are quite used to this kind of young couple who secretly release their love in a place where no one is in the dark. After all, they did the same thing just now, so the two of them planned to sneak around from behind.However, when he walked behind them, Tang Mianjin glanced inadvertently, and involuntarily let out a "ha" in astonishment.

The sound he made was very small, but it was very loud on the quiet path. When the two people who were kissing turned around, one of them was Qi Yufan.

"Qiqi! This is..." Tang Mianjin looked again and again, feeling that the man looked familiar, but the man introduced himself, "Qi mute."

Tang Mianjin couldn't restrain himself from saying "Huh?" again, which made Duan Nian feel a little ashamed.

"Master Qi, hello." Duan Nian nodded.

Qi Yin was born very tall, similar to Duan Nian, but looked a little weak, like a patient who had been ill for a long time.He raised his chin slightly, squinted at Duan Nian and Tang Mianjin.

Five seconds later, he released a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Duan, hello."

"I remember you, you are Yufan's friend." He turned to Tang Mianjin and said.

"Hello." Tang Mianjin looked at the two of them, and Qi Yufan stood aside without speaking, with a gloomy expression.

Duan Nian exchanged pleasantries with Qi An, and then Duan Nian left with Tang Mianjin.Tang Mianjin turned to look at Qi Yufan, but he didn't say goodbye to Tang Mianjin.

Tang Mianjin felt flustered for no reason, but this feeling was not obvious enough, Duan Nian took him away.

"Brother Duan Nian, you actually know Qi Yin."

"Why don't you know each other?" Duan Nian chuckled, "The receptions that the Duan family and the Qi family attended together had eight hundred if not one thousand."

Both the Qi family and the Duan family belong to prestigious old families. They used to make their fortunes by developing underground forces, opening various underground casinos, brothels, and taverns to make money. In charge of both the north and the south, check each other, and keep competing in private.

Later, with the development of the times, the new national leadership was very concerned about these lurking forces in the dark, and the underground forces were constantly eradicated.So far, on the surface, the two families are no longer the two huge forces that dominated the underground world of Zhahua Kingdom in the past, but two big groups known to everyone.

At the same time, things that cannot be revealed on the surface still need people to do them secretly, and the Duan family and the Qi family have played such a role.From contending with state organs to working for the upper-level power of the country, they are equivalent to being recruited. Of course, anyone who knows how to assess the situation knows that in today's era, this is the way to survive and develop.

Therefore, the Qi family and the Duan family have a good relationship with the upper-level power, and they often see each other.The two well-matched families don't say how good the relationship is, but they are also familiar with each other.

"Qi Miao has a congenital heart disease, so his body is relatively weak, and he rarely showed up in social situations before." Duan Nian said, "It seems that he has been recuperating slowly in recent years. His father only let him get in touch with company affairs. He used to use a wheelchair to show up. .”

"I know this, Qi Qi said it before." Tang Mianjin said, "But the two of them actually have an affair! I didn't expect this."

"Probably because we work together in the company, and we will fall in love with each other after a long time."

"Maybe." Tang Mianjin recalled the day when he accidentally saw Qi Mu scolding people in the company, and Qi Yufan standing at the front, his head so low that his chin almost poked his neck.

"Office romance is really bad." He tutted.
