Therefore, Mother Pei really chose to divorce after Xie's father was diagnosed as a vegetable in a car accident and lost the ability to support Xie Lian, and took Pei Ruoyan to go abroad alone, leaving Xie Lian in the country.

The previous speculation came true, but Qi Chen was still a little hard to understand. Although Qi's mother left very early, it was not difficult for Qi Chen to see her love and concern for him from the diary she left behind.

But Mother Pei...

Because he didn't have much contact, Qi Chen only felt that Mother Pei was a gentle person from past contact, but now he couldn't connect the person he guessed with the gentle woman in his impression.

Qi Chen was vaguely angry in his heart, but felt that he was very angry for no reason.Depressed, I didn't fall asleep again after returning home, tossed and turned all night, and started to feel sleepy again during morning reading.

Xie Lian took out a peppermint candy from somewhere and handed it to him, with a cool tone, "You didn't answer my call last night, so you are going to be a thief?"

"...You're the one who wants to be a thief." Qi Chen retorted habitually, and said as he unwrapped the candy wrapper, "I'm going to the hospital."

Xie Lian frowned and asked, "Why did you go to the hospital?"

The cool breath of mint filled his mouth, and even his chaotic mind was awakened. Qi Chen struggled for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Having said that, Qi Chen still couldn't control his distraction, and his eyes would unconsciously fall on Xie Lian every once in a while.

Think about how he was when he was a child.

Think about how he feels about Pei's mother.

I wonder if he will be disappointed when he finds out.

It wasn't enough for Qi Chen to finish the morning self-study, he was absent-minded in the whole morning's class, and finally tore a hole quietly before the afternoon nap.

Unlike most people, Xie Lian doesn't have the habit of taking a nap.It's not that there are no other people in the class who don't take a nap, but only once in a while.There are very few people like Xie Lian who can maintain their spirits without taking a nap under high-intensity study.

Qi Chen lay on the table, closed his eyes and glanced at his profile, and called out mysteriously, "Xie Lian."

The person whose name was called looked over in response, and Qi Chen suddenly became sober, but he became more impulsive, afraid of disturbing the people resting in front, he lowered his voice, "Do you have any photos of your childhood?"

Xie Lian looked at him with a half-smile, "Why do you ask me this?"

Qi Chen made various excuses, and finally confessed: "I want to know what you looked like when you were young."

After self-study in the morning realized that something was wrong with Qi Chen, Xie Lian asked someone to check the movements of Qi's family last night, and found out about Pei's mother being so stimulated that she fell into a coma and was hospitalized, and guessed what Pei Ruoyan might have said to her.

After all, he was fine when he returned to China, and there is no possibility of a sudden onset of illness.If it was about Pei Ruoyan's own business, there was no need for Qi Chen to ask him about it.Xie Lian quickly guessed that it should be Pei Ruoyan who told Pei's mother about him.

Regarding the fact that he was able to stimulate Pei's mother into a coma and hospitalized, Xie Lian said that it was not surprising that he was surprised, after all, he had expected it.As for Qi Chen's reaction...

Xie Lian hesitated for a moment, [-] ways to show misery flashed through his mind, but when he saw Qi Chen holding on to his sleepiness and waiting for his reply, his heart suddenly softened.

"some."

Xie Lian took out his phone and pressed it on the screen a few times, as if to hand it to him, but when Qi Chen stretched out his hand, he squeezed tightly and did not let it go, "It's a courtesy, should you show me yours too?"

It really doesn't hurt at all.

Qi Chen blinked, took out his phone and unlocked it, propped his chin to search through the photo album, found a photo of himself when he was seven or eight years old and handed it over.Xie Lian let go at the same time, and the two exchanged phones as if they had completed some ceremony, and looked down at the screen.

Just like him, what Xie Lian found for him was a photo of him when he was seven or eight years old. In the photo, the young boy was thin and thin, but there were faint traces of the present on his face, with a slight smile on his lips, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

Swipe a finger across the screen unconsciously, and the photo will automatically shrink, revealing the full picture of the album.

There are not many photos, and there are only a dozen of them at a glance, and you can see them all without scrolling down.Qi Chen glanced at them and saw that they were all taken by him, so he clicked on them one by one, and they were all taken after the age of seven or eight, about one a year.

There are no photos before the age of seven.

This discovery made Qi Chen's heart inexplicably blocked, the words came to his lips but he didn't know what to say, he swallowed them back, pushed Xie Lian's phone back, and fell asleep on the stomach.

It may be because of thinking day by day and dreaming at night, Qi Chen suddenly dreamed about something about his childhood.

At that time, he was still living at his grandfather's house in City B, and his personality was more lively than now, and he often ran out wildly without knowing where he was going.

Grandpa’s house is also a villa, but it’s not the same as Qi’s now. It’s an unknown villa area in City B. It’s a vast area surrounded by several hills. All the wild animals in the middle have been moved, and the outermost areas are also patrolled by special personnel.

In addition to the clear dividing line between each two families, there is also a large open space in the middle, planted with forests, and each family is not next to each other.

Qi Chen plays around like an adventure every day. There are places where children can pass but adults can't. The bodyguards at home often can't keep up with him and are left far behind by him.

Once Qi Chen ran a little farther, and when he realized that the bodyguard hadn't come for him for a long time, the sun was already slanting in the west.

Unable to find the direction, Qi Chen walked aimlessly in the woods, and came to a white house in a daze.Because of the long time, Qi Chen no longer remembers what the house looked like, only vaguely remembered that it was different from his own house.

Qi Chen, who didn't know what to be afraid of, walked towards the house, trying to see if there was anyone inside, and if he could take him home, when he came close, he suddenly heard a fierce and milky child's voice.

"Don't go there."

Qi Chen was startled by the sound, stopped at the spot and looked around, but couldn't find any living thing that could make a sound.Thinking that he was hallucinating, Qi Chen looked away, and just took a step forward, the voice sounded again, more fierce and urgent than last time.

"Didn't I tell you not to go there?"

This time Qi Chen heard clearly, the voice was on his left, he looked in the direction, and saw a window locked by a protective frame.

The window sill is not high, Qi Chen stood on tiptoe to look in, his sight just passed the window sill, but the curtain inside was drawn tightly and airtight, so he couldn't see anything.

Qi Chen leaned on the window sill and kept asking like a curious baby, "Who are you?"

"Why are you in there?"

"Why are your windows locked?"

"Can you come out and play with me?"

……

As one after another of the questions were thrown, the room remained silent, making one suspect that the sound just now was just an illusion.

Qi Chen waited for a while but couldn't get a reply. Seeing that it was getting dark again, he got down from the window sill and planned to go back to the door.

And just as he started to walk over there, the previous voice sounded again. "Don't go there."

Qi Chen swished around and tiptoed back to the window sill, "You're still there."

The people inside didn't expect him to come back so soon, so they couldn't avoid it, and hastily pulled down the curtains to hide.Qi Chen saw his eyes and the various transparent bottles and jars in the room through the light coming in from outside.

From the outside, it seems to be about the same age as him.

Qi Chen asked a few more questions and got no response, so he raised his hand and knocked on the window unwillingly, "Are you still there? Talk to me."

"Don't knock."

The people inside stopped him anxiously and panicked, with a fierce tone, "It's getting dark, you still haven't gone home."

Qi Chen said honestly, "I'm lost."

The people inside didn't speak for a while, just when Qi Chen was about to move and wanted to knock on the window again, finally there was a voice from inside, "Go east, keep going, about half an hour, there is a security booth."

Qi Chen leaned outside the window and thought for a while, but didn't move. The person inside couldn't hold back and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Qi Chen humbly asked, "Where is Dong?"

The people inside, "..."

It seemed that he was helpless, and the voice of the people inside was a little weaker when they spoke again, "Can you see the sun?"

Qi Chen: "I can see it."

People inside, "walk with your back to the sun, if the sun is gone, walk with your back to the moon."

Qi Chen understood this time, and said sincerely, "Thank you, you are really amazing."

For half-old children, knowing the direction is already a very powerful skill.

Qi Chen went down from the window sill, walked two steps and came back again, asking questions like a cannonball, "What's your name, how old are you this year,... I'll come and play with you tomorrow, okay?"

The people inside were silent at first, but when they asked the last question, they suddenly said, "Don't come."

Qi Chen asked, "Why are you not allowed to come?"

"Because... because I'm a monster, I can eat children." The person inside said more and more confidently, threatening him: "If you come again next time, I will eat you."

Qi Chen's logic was clear, "Then why didn't you eat me today."

The people inside didn't seem to expect him to respond like this, and they held back for a while before saying, "...I'm full today."

Qi Chen said "Oh", it seemed that it was going to be dark, and he waved his hands and said, "Then I'll leave today, and I'll come to play with you tomorrow."

The people inside were angry and anxious, "Didn't I tell you that you came..."

"Eat it." Qi Chen rushed to talk, "I will remember to bring more food tomorrow, just wait for me."

After leaving these words, Qi Chen ran away. He walked eastward in the direction that the child told him, but got lost again while walking.

It happened to be cloudy that night, and the moon did not come out immediately after the sun went down.Qi Chen walked blindly according to the direction in memory, and was not found by the bodyguards who heard the news until midnight. After returning, he developed a high fever due to the cold.

Children's physical fitness is generally not high, and Qi Chen has been burning repeatedly for a week before they all recede.When he woke up again, he forgot all about this expedition, and the family also took this as a lesson and never let him go out to play alone.

After Qi Chen lived at home for two years, when he was a little older, his grandfather passed away, and he was taken to S city by Qi's father.

If it wasn't for the sudden dream this time, Qi Chen wouldn't have remembered that he had such a wild time when he was a child.

When the preparatory bell rang, Qi Chen suddenly woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw Xie Lian looking down at his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Xie Lian said, "I also said that if you don't wake up, I will wake you up."

Qi Chen didn't quite hear what he was saying, but only saw those eyes, which vaguely coincided with a certain memory deep in his memory.

"Xie Lian." Qi Chen asked in a daze, "Did I meet you when I was young?"
