After comforting Xie Cheng, Li Lin explained a few words and quietly walked to the back room.

Yan An came out of the back room tactfully, closed the door, and sat obediently beside Li Qiu.

Li Qiu rubbed his head twice, then turned his head and winked at Xie Cheng, "Look, I'll just say grandma has a knife mouth and a tofu heart."

Xie Cheng met his gaze with a forced smile, "Yeah."

Seeing Xie Cheng's appearance, he also lost the desire to make jokes, put one arm around his shoulder, and the other tightly clenched his hand, "What did the doctor say?"

"Not very good." Xie Chengdao, "Grandpa, his memory is worse recently than before. He forgets too quickly, I'm afraid there will be complications."

"Don't think so much. At least now that grandma is willing to talk to him, it's at least reassuring him." Li Qiu casually grabbed a date and put it in Xie Cheng's palm, "You don't have to force it by yourself."

Xie Cheng picked up his mood and played with the jujube, "I will be alone? Isn't there you?"

Li Qiu was startled, then stretched his brows again, and laughed, "...Yes, you are right. There is me."

The two ate some fruit casually to pad their stomachs.They are still young, strong and healthy, and it’s okay to be hungry, but the elderly and children can’t be hungry at all.When Li Qiu was about to go outside to bring some things casually, Yan An who didn't know when to go out came back.

He brought a few disposable lunch boxes, and the aroma of food hit his face as soon as he entered the door.Yan An put them on the table, "I bought some dumplings, let's eat something first."

This happened so suddenly that Li Qiushang was a little overwhelmed, let alone Yan An.After Xie Xingyu arrived, Yan An didn't say much, and he didn't dare to intervene, so he looked at his elder brother cautiously and ingratiatingly.

Li Qiu only thought that he just went to the toilet or went to relieve boredom, unexpectedly Yan An came back with a few boxes of dumplings, a burst of warmth crossed his heart, making him half tired.

He patted Yan An on the head, "You little idiot. You know how to use your own money to buy things for others."

"Brother is not someone else." Yan An obediently enjoyed Li Qiu's touch, glanced at Xie Cheng from the corner of his eye, and said schemingly, "Brother Cheng Zi, grandparents are not outsiders either."

"What orange, called brother Xie Cheng." Xie Cheng angrily reached out his hand to touch Yan An's forehead, but was blocked by Li Qiu.He looked at Li Qiu helplessly, "Isn't it, you won't let me touch you lightly, so you are so protective?"

Li Qiu raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were clear.

Xie Cheng grabbed the jujube and threw it at him, "Xiao An just taught you badly, didn't he?"

Li Qiu smiled and dodged Xie Cheng's crispy jujube attack, and quickly picked up the jujube that was about to fall to the ground, "Hey, you, if you can't say it, just do it. If you can't make it against me, don't make it against Zao, smash it!" wasted."

Before Xie Cheng could reply, he nodded Yan An's nose affectionately, "Remember to ask brother for money next time, do you understand?"

Yan An nodded, not knowing how much he had listened to his words.

The dumplings Yan An bought were quite large, enough for five people.Li Qiu didn't know what was going on in the back room, so he didn't dare to send things in to disturb him at this moment, so he just put the dumplings of the two of them in an insulated box and kept them.

It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and Li Qiu and the others were already hungry, and a few boxes of dumplings were swept into their stomachs like a storm. Xie Cheng slumped on the chair and looked at the sensible and obedient Yan An, enviously said, "You have raised them." A good brother."

"I didn't raise him, he was obedient." Li Qiu was also moved by Yan An's thoughtful behavior, and flirted with Xie Cheng coquettishly, triumphantly.

Seeing Li Qiu's proud expression, Xie Cheng didn't quarrel with him, he just laughed lightly.

He stretched his legs and sighed, "Grandma adopted you, and you picked up another son and came back..."

"Unknowingly, we are repeating what our predecessors did."

Li Qiu nodded seriously, and suddenly realized that he stood up from the chair suddenly, "What did you say?!"

He grabbed Xie Cheng's hand and said word by word, "Us?"

Xie Cheng let him pinch himself, the strength was almost like a pinch, "... Take it easy, you want to cripple me."

Li Qiu let go of his strength, "You..."

Xie Cheng smiled wryly, "I also just discovered that I am not the grandson of grandpa."

"It's no wonder that grandpa always prevaricates every time he talks about my parents. It turns out that I don't have such a thing at all." Xie Cheng turned his head away, "I am also an adopted child just like you."

Li Qiu raised his eyebrows, and wanted to say something more, when the door of the back room creaked open.He looked up and saw Li Lin helping Xie Xingyu come out.

Xie Xingyu was supported by her, and the panic expression on his face was swept away, his face was calm and peaceful, and he felt a little relieved that his wish had been fulfilled.

Li Lin picked up the lunch box that Li Qiu gave and fed the dumplings to Xie Xingyu. The old man ate them one by one, and before he swallowed one, he watched Li Lin wanting another one, and was very satisfied.

After the dumplings were finished, Xie Cheng planned to take his grandfather home first.I stopped a taxi outside the 'Sunset Red', and when we were about to part, Xie Xingyu still looked reluctant to part.When Li Lin told him to see you tomorrow, he happily said goodbye to her.

Li Lin watched them leave in front of the courtyard.But Xie Xingyu got out of the car and walked up to her quickly, "Ah, classmate, have you been hit?"

... Li Lin's nose sore, tears almost fell down.She recalled her youthful girlhood, and answered him according to her memory, "No, thank you for blocking the ball for me."

Xie Xingyu couldn't help scratching his head.This movement is shy and beautiful on a young man, but it feels abrupt on an old man.He didn't realize this at all, and smiled at Li Lin, "It's okay, classmate. I, my name is..."

After a while, he stopped in confusion and murmured, "What's my name...?"

--------

Li Qiu took Xie Cheng's taxi to accompany him to bring Grandpa Xie home, and after the old man settled down, he took Yan An away.

This week has been tossing for a long time, but by the end of the week, there are more things to do, making him either spinning or on the way.Yan An gave him a basin of hot water for Li Qiu to soak his feet, and he had a moment to breathe.

His exhaustion was taken away by the hot water. Seeing his sleepiness, Yan An quickly rinsed himself off, sat next to Li Qiu and gently massaged his legs and feet.

Li Qiu enjoyed it for 2 minutes, opened his eyes and said, "Okay Xiao An, you are tired too, pack up and go to bed."

Yan An responded, but the movements of his hands did not stop, "Brother, go and rest, I will wash the socks."

Although Li Qiu was a little tired, he was not so tired.He wiped off the water on his feet and carried Yan An back to the bed like a chicken, and said forcefully, "You are good, you can't stand the trouble, be obedient."

He is usually used to fooling around and making jokes, and rarely puts on the majestic appearance of an elder brother.Yan An was taken aback by his appearance, so he didn't do anything else.

After drying the socks, Li Qiu returned to the living room, and saw a persimmon on the shabby square table that had been wiped off from the frost and washed.

He chuckled and picked it up.For some reason, the persimmons Yan An picks are always hard.Li Qiu looked at it for a long time before putting it on his lips.

After eating Yan An's care before going to bed, he tiptoed back to the bedroom.Yan An's fever had just recovered, and his energy was exhausted quickly, almost falling asleep on the bed.

Looking at Yan An's sleeping face, Li Qiu suddenly found that his younger brother had matured a lot.

The child in front of him was about to be in the third grade of junior high school, and he was developing rapidly. Today, when he came back from buying dumplings, Li Qiu realized that he had reached the position of his lips.

...Almost three years have passed.

Recalling the more than two years of getting along, Li Qiu couldn't help softening his gaze.He slowed down and got on the bed. Before he could lie down, he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes.

Yan An held him tightly, murmuring indistinctly, "Brother..."

When he met Li Qiu, he loosened his tightly furrowed brows and babbled for a long time, with a smile on his lips, as if he had a wonderful dream.

Seeing the whole process of the expression change on his face, Li Qiu's heart softened into a mess.He tucked the quilt sideways for Yan An and lay down. Before he could sigh that it was nice to have a younger brother, he felt like he was being pinched by something.

As a man, Li Qiu understood what it was almost instantly.He cursed in a low voice, while thinking that he was secretive and sparse, forgetting the embarrassing moment when Yan An had already stepped into puberty, he leaned gently to the other side.

At the same time, Yan An turned over and hugged him, and the existence of that thing became more obvious.He rubbed lightly twice and let out an uncontrollable sigh.

Li Qiu: "..."
