boss i swear

Chapter 16

The afternoon sun slowly shifted from south to west. I stood in front of the tall and luxurious main entrance of the Sunlight Group. The sunlight reflected in my pupils that were constantly flickering because of being trapped in memories, which made me feel dazed and stood there for a long time. Yes, I stepped into the company and got on the elevator. As soon as I went upstairs, I heard a girl calling me.

"Meng Yang!"

I turned my head to look, and saw Wen Xiaoyu walking in front of me, hesitantly asked: "You haven't shown up at the company these days, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's okay, how about you?" I replied flatly, but found that her expression was strange, "I'm okay too, but Meng Yang... recently there are rumors among colleagues that you and the deputy Always...you..."

My heart tightened, and I lowered my eyes, avoiding her sight.

Perhaps it was inappropriate to discuss this matter in the company, so Wen Xiaoyu suggested: "Let's have dinner together later, shall we chat while eating?"

"No Xiaoyu, I have something to do right now, maybe I don't have time." Just as I declined Wen Xiaoyu's invitation and explained to her, I suddenly saw Secretary Liu appearing not far away, so I hurriedly told Wen Xiaoyu Don't, "I'm sorry Xiaoyu, I have to go first, and I will treat you to dinner later."

Then I didn't care about Wen Xiaoyu calling me from behind, and trotted up to Secretary Liu. Seeing that I was in a hurry, Secretary Liu asked with a smile, "Meng Yang, are you here to pick up the vice president from get off work? Are you here?" It's pretty early."

I lowered my eyebrows and hesitated for a moment, but still made a request, "Do you have time now? I have something to ask you."

Seeing that my expression was different from the usual one, Secretary Liu looked a little dignified. She showed a little surprise, but she nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the lounge to chat."

After entering the staff lounge with me one after the other, Secretary Liu poured two cups of coffee and handed one of them to me. At this time, there was no one else in the lounge, so she motioned for me to sit down together, and then asked directly Said: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"You said that you accompanied the vice president to the orphanage for three years, so...has he ever mentioned a child named Xiaodai to you?"

"Xiaodai?" Hearing my question, Secretary Liu seemed even more surprised, "How do you know about Xiaodai? The vice president also mentioned it to you?"

It seems that Secretary Liu knows about Xiaodai, "...to tell you the truth, I am Xiaodai."

"What?" Secretary Liu looked into my eyes in astonishment, and asked in an unbelievable tone, "You are Xiaodai?"

I paused, and looked at the surprised woman in front of me with earnest eyes, "I'll explain this to you later, can you tell me how the vice president mentioned me to you first?"

Secretary Liu looked at me hesitantly, and the mist gradually became deeper, as if he was trying his best to remember something.

"That was when I had been in the company for a full year. One day, the vice president attended a dinner party and got a little drunk. After the dinner was over, he didn't go home. He came to the company alone and stayed in the office. I was smoking in the house, looking very lonely. I happened to be working overtime at that time, so I poured him a glass of water and brought it in. Maybe it was because I wanted to talk to someone after drinking, so he began to tell me about his youth. "

Secretary Liu spoke in a calm tone, but it made my heart turbulent for a while, and I couldn't calm down...

"He said that he was very lonely in his childhood, and his greatest joy was that he could go to the orphanage every year to do charity with his mother, just because he could see the child named Xiaodai. Sometimes his mother would ask him, 'Why do you want to be with Xiaodai so much? Play dumb?' When I was young, I was ignorant, and what I said was childish, "Because I like him, I will marry him when I grow up." My mother laughed, "Xiao Dai is a boy, you can't marry him ', 'I don't care if he is a boy or a girl, I will marry him anyway'.

"Until the year when he was 15 years old, he had made an appointment with Xiaodai to come to him after his high school entrance examination, but when he went to the orphanage to see Xiaodai again, he was gone. Only 15 years old He didn't know what to do, so he had to ask his mother for help, but his mother always said, "Xiao Dai has his own home, let's not disturb him", so time passed day by day, he went abroad to study after graduating from high school, and ended After returning home from school, he joined the company and began to study business, but he did not forget Xiaodai. Even if he was busy with work, he would spare time to go to the orphanage to investigate Xiaodai's whereabouts. I have tried to find the names and addresses of people, but they no longer live there, and no one knows where they have moved.

"After telling me all this, the vice president asked me to help him find out where Xiao Dai's adoptive parents are now when he is busy with work, so after investigation, I found the information of his adoptive father, but I learned that he She has passed away, but the information of her adoptive mother has not been found. However, just a while ago, the vice president told me that he had found Xiaodai's adoptive mother, so that I don't have to continue the investigation. Afterwards, he never mentioned to me about it. As for Xiaodai, I never knew if he saw that child again..."

I listened quietly all the time, without interrupting Secretary Liu's narration, but I couldn't help the tears from the corners of my eyes. Originally, I thought that the little brother in my memory had become the past forever, and could only be sealed as a precious memory. It exists in the bottom of my heart, but I never expected that he would appear in my life again and never go far...

Seeing my tear-filled eyes, Secretary Liu seemed to finally believe that I was really Xiaodai, so after a moment of silence, she added, "The vice president also told me this sentence, 'It's Xiaodai. Damn, I found out when I just entered puberty that I like boys, not girls'."

Hearing this sentence, I smiled with tears in my eyes. In the years when I didn't know what love is, he gave me happiness with pure friendship. After I met him who has become a mature man, he used love The action told me what is the longest love confession, as delicate as him, how can people not love?

When Secretary Liu and I walked out of the lounge, it was already time to get off work. We walked towards Qiao Chu's office together. When we were almost at the door, he opened the door and walked out, but his face was a little pale.

"Hey, you came to pick me up? You're on time." After seeing me, Qiao Chu showed a happy smile, but then he suddenly frowned and raised his hand to rub his forehead, looking very uncomfortable.

"Vice President, what's wrong with you?" Secretary Liu asked worriedly.

"Oh, it's okay. I had a cold for the past two days, and I've blown the air conditioner for another day. I feel a little uncomfortable. It's okay."

"Then go back and rest quickly."

So after saying goodbye to Secretary Liu, I drove Qiao Chu back home. After the car stopped, I saw him leaning on the passenger seat with his eyes closed. Touched his forehead, it was hot.

"Boss, you have a fever, let's go to the hospital."

"No need." Qiao Chu straightened up reluctantly and got out of the car, and went back home, "It's just a fever, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

Followed Qiao Chu into the bedroom, helped him lie down and covered the quilt, I quickly took a towel and soaked it in cold water, wrung it dry, and applied it to his hot forehead, and found that his pale cheeks suddenly glowed. There was a little sickly bright red, and I couldn't help feeling distressed again, and immediately found the antipyretic medicine from the medicine box, and fed it to him.

"Boss, do you really not need to go to the hospital?" I couldn't help feeling worried.

"It's okay, just get some sleep." In order to comfort me, Qiao Chu gave me a small smile, and then slowly fell asleep.

I thought I should take Qiao Chu's temperature to see how high it was, so I rummaged in the medicine box, trying to find the thermometer, but I couldn't find it, so I looked for it in the desk drawer, but the thermometer I still couldn't find it, but found a photo frame in one of the drawers, and there was a photo in it. Although the photo was slightly yellowed, it was perfectly framed in that brand new photo frame.

In the photo, a chubby 15-year-old boy puts an arm around another boy who is much thinner than him. The two stand side by side and face the camera with sunny smiles. The corners of their eyes and brows are showing With the beauty of youth.

The moment I saw this photo, my eyes were moistened quickly, my hands trembled uncontrollably, and my whole body suddenly fell into the long-term memories that I had almost forgotten...

"Tell you to eat! Tell you to eat!" In the orphanage 19 years ago, an older child kept slapping my young body. Because of hunger and pain, I burst into tears. The teacher in the orphanage heard When I heard the sound of crying, I came to help me who was knocked to the ground, stretched out my hand and patted the dust on my body, "How many times have I said that fighting is not allowed, why do you still fight? If you fight again, you will all be kicked out and go to the street Be a little beggar!"

Just as the teacher was sternly teaching me and the child who beat me, other children shouted excitedly from a distance: "Look quickly! The little brother is here!"

Hearing such words, the children ran into the courtyard one after another, and the teacher rushed out to maintain order. I also timidly went outside to watch. I saw a car driving into the orphanage, and I got out of the car with a smile on my face. A gentle young woman, and a little brother who looks four or five years older than me. That little brother is chubby, like a little meatball, with a round face and big round eyes. He looks very cute. Che took his mother's hand and walked to the teacher, listening to their conversation quietly.

With the help of the teacher, my mother sent us the new clothes and delicious things I brought. I stood in the corner with a handful of candies handed to me, happily with tears on my face but laughing I got up, at this time the child who hit me just now took advantage of the teacher not paying attention, ran to me and snatched all my candies. Just when I was about to cry again in a hurry, that little brother suddenly walked up to me and squatted down. I came down and wiped away the tears on my face, then took off a schoolbag on my back and gave it to me.

"Tell you quietly, there are more delicious things in this schoolbag, don't let others see it!" The little brother squinted his eyes like a porcelain doll and smiled at me, smiling so warmly in my heart, "What's your name? "

"My name is Xiaodai, what about you?" I was a little shy, I didn't dare to look at him.

"My name is little brother, hehe!"

That was the first time my little brother and I met, and it was also the first time I ate the most delicious candy in the world.

In the second year, when my little brother came back, besides candy, he brought me cakes, biscuits and ham, and also sent me a picture book. Then when other children were scrambling for food and toys, He sat in the corner and quietly hugged me and told me the stories in the picture book. I listened so earnestly that I didn’t even know my nose was running out. When he saw it, he smiled like a porcelain doll again, and then took out a tissue Gently wipe my face clean.

In the third year, when the little brother came again, the first time he saw me, he called my name affectionately, "Xiaodai!" Then he showed a smile brighter than that of Chuyang, walked up to me, and gently pinched me. Pinch my face, "Brother has a little gift for you."

This time, he brought me a game console, a small game console that can play Tetris. No other children have it, only I have it.

"But brother, I don't know how to play." I blinked at him sadly.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." The little brother put his arms around me and taught me how to play. After teaching me how to play the game console, he took out a box of building blocks from his schoolbag and gave me, "This building block can build a castle." , I don’t have time to teach you slowly, you have to study how to build a castle by yourself!”

I happily took the box of building blocks in his hand, and promised earnestly: "Well, when I build the castle, I will let you live in it!"

"Haha! Good! It's a deal!" The little brother squinted his eyes and laughed, and the sunshine molecules surrounded him, warming him.

Before leaving, the little brother loudly gave orders to the older children: "You are not allowed to bully Xiaodai, if you let me know that you bullied him, I will never come to deliver delicious food to you again! "

What the little brother said was very effective. The children were afraid that he would never come again, and no one would dare to bully me again.

In the fourth year, my brother sent me a beautiful new dress, and mysteriously took out a conch from my schoolbag and gave it to me.

"Xiaodai, this conch is amazing. You can breathe on it and put it to your ear, and you can hear the sound of the waves." I imitated my little brother, blowing on the conch and putting it in my ear. Listen carefully, then laugh and tell him, "I heard it! I heard it!"

"Hehe, do you want to see the real sea?" The little brother patted my head lovingly and said with a smile.

"Yes I do!"

"Then let's make an agreement that when we grow up, my brother will take you to the beach to play, okay?"

"Well, if you want a pull hook, you need a pull hook!" I put up my little finger and stretched it out in front of my little brother. He smiled happily, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "Okay! The pull hook cannot be changed for 100 years!"

In the fifth year, I was already ten years old and I became more sensible. When my aunt brought my little brother to see us again, she asked the children like an amiable teacher:

"Children, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Some of the children said they wanted to be engineers, some said they wanted to be pilots, and some said they wanted to be writers. When they asked me, I looked at my little brother standing beside my aunt with expectant eyes, and solemnly swore an oath :

"I swear, when I grow up, I will work part-time with my little brother to earn a lot of money and spend it on my aunt, so that my aunt can wear beautiful clothes and eat delicious food without working."

Auntie heard me say such words in a childish voice, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes suddenly, she leaned over and touched my face with a smile on her face, then hugged me in her arms at the moment when the tears were about to fall, gently Rubbing my head gently, at that moment, I vaguely realized what it was like to be hugged by my mother. A sense of happiness that I had never felt before surrounded me, making me want to be her son like a little brother, even if... Only one day.

That time I played with my little brother for a long time and talked a lot. He told me some things around him, including anecdotes that happened in school, which made me laugh non-stop. After laughing, I asked him: "Little brother, why are you so nice to me?"

"I will continue to treat you so well in the future."

"why?"

"I'll tell you later!"

I kept asking, but he just refused to say, I was angry, I pouted my mouth and ignored him, but it made him laugh, put his hands on my head affectionately, and stroked my hair.

"Xiaodai, I'm going to take the high school entrance examination soon, and I can't come to see you again during this time." Before leaving, the little brother took my hand, with a serious and reluctant expression, "But you have to wait for me, wait for me I'm done with the test, and I'll come to you right away, remember?"

"Well, remember, little brother, you have to work hard!" I also nodded with a serious expression, and then grinned, there is nothing to be sad, anyway, we will see you again soon.

At this moment, my aunt's voice sounded in the distance, and we turned our heads to look together, only to see her walking up to me and my little brother with a camera, "Come on, let's take a group photo of you two!"

"Okay!" The little brother showed a smile, put his arms around my neck, and reminded me to smile at the camera, so I grinned obediently with my teeth bared. Although I still don't know the real name of the little brother, but His side was the safest place for me during that time, where I could laugh with confidence without any worries.

With a click, the beautiful moment was frozen forever, in that youthful time without parents' love, but fortunately accompanied by him...
