Due to work reasons, Li Qiu meets people from all walks of life when he is outside.In the past few years, with the change of Chen Ci's development focus, the nature of his work has gradually shifted to secretary, assistant and other handover tasks.Therefore, he specially made a phone card for work.

And this call was made to a private card.

Li Qiu answered in confusion, chatted with the other party for a few words, and his face gradually became strange.

Yan An put down his chopsticks and looked at him quietly.

After a while, Li Qiu said: "Does it have to be dismantled?"

I don't know what was said there, Li Qiu lowered his eyes and said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Li Qiu hung up the phone, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his expression was extremely complicated.Yan An said: "What's wrong?"

"City planning, roads need to be built here, our house has to be demolished." Li Qiu twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally, forced a smile, which was uglier than crying, "It's okay to demolish it, it's a pie in the sky That's it - this broken courtyard can also be used as an elevator room."

"Brother." Yan An said, "Don't you want to leave?"

He sneered, looked up at Yan An, and prepared to prevaricate casually.But seeing that the other party's expression was extremely serious, he couldn't see the meaning of half-parting jokes.

... Li Qiu suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

After a long while, the struggling smile on the corner of his mouth finally got rid of: "Yeah."

"I'm really reluctant." There were still a few mouthfuls of noodles left in the bowl, which were lumpy.Li Qiu lost the desire to eat again, and picked up a few chopsticks as if playing with them, his eyes finally settled on the real thing, "I grew up here when I was picked up by my grandma. Roughly the same."

Li Qiu looked around and saw that it was still a dilapidated old house with a bit of damp smell.

He grew up here, from an arrogant young man to a mature and stable man.Years and life have taken away his youthful arrogance and made him an indomitable elder brother.

Li Qiu felt that one day he would grow old together with Xiao Yuan.But, until then...

The faces of Li Lin, Xie Xingyu, and Xie Cheng appeared in his mind, and all kinds of past in his memory rushed like a train, and finally fixed on the face in front of him.

Yan An looked at him silently, not breaking the silence at the moment.

Li Qiu's heart was so soft that he stretched out his hand to stroke his head twice: "If you can't bear it, you can't bear it, you have to look forward. Accompany me to see grandma, and I'll take you to eat something good after watching."

"it is good."

Li Qiu put on his coat, looked back at the old house before leaving, and then got on the love bike with Yan An.

But, before that.

Let his younger brother grow up in the world without any worries.

------------

It was rare that Li Lin was not in the house, Li Qiu called, but no one answered for a long time.

He walked down the last step of the stairs and was about to make another call when Li Lin's phone rang.

"Lizi, what's the matter?" On the other side of the phone, it was Xie Cheng.

Li Qiu raised his eyebrows.

Yan An was going downstairs when he suddenly saw Li Qiu's movement, his heart skipped half a beat, and he couldn't tell the north from the south.

He just stared at Li Qiu's expression, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and he missed a step.

Yan An's mind was confused, and his reaction was a little slower, and he lost his balance and fell down.

Fortunately, it is the last few steps, and nothing will happen if you fall.Yan An didn't hold on to the railing at all, and adjusted his posture in order to land smoothly.

Li Qiu was talking to Xie Cheng, and seeing this scene, his heart was beating in his throat, and he almost lost his mind.He immediately bought two steps forward one by one, and quickly pulled Yan An into his arms.

To say that he took the initiative to hug him, it would be better to say that Yan An bumped into Li Qiu's arms by himself.After all, Yan An is still a young man, so he has some weight. The impact made Li Qiu suddenly lose his balance. In addition, his body injuries were not fully healed, so he fell backward uncontrollably at this moment.

"Brother!" Yan An woke up instantly, relieved most of the pressure on Li Qiu's body, wrapped his arms around his back, and firmly grasped the railing with the other.

Li Qiu immediately stabilized his figure.

"Are you okay?"

Li Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly.

Immediately, he raised his hand and hit Yan An's head hard: "Walk and watch the road, do you know?"

"Ah... um." Although Yan An has grown a lot in recent years, he is still half a head behind Li Qiu.At this moment, Yan An was standing on the steps slightly higher than Li Qiu, looking down at Li Qiu from a commanding height, and suddenly felt that his brother's usual sense of majesty had faded a bit.

From a perspective higher than Li Qiu's, his eyelashes are slightly drooping, not thick, but very long.

...Yan An couldn't help but think of Li Qiu in his dream.

"Still in a daze?!" Seeing Yan An's lost soul, Li Qiu laughed angrily, dragged Yan An's clothes and took him downstairs, "Wouldn't it be better if you went downstairs or crossed the road by yourself next time?" If you want to do this, let yourself fall casually when you see that you are about to fall, huh?"

"I didn't say that, young master." Li Qiu said with hatred for iron and steel, "You are still in a daze after telling you to walk and look at the road, why are you so big-hearted?"

"Brother...you listen to my explanation." Seeing Li Qiu's real anger, Yan An subconsciously behaved.

Li Qiu originally only wanted to teach him a few words, but now he followed Yan An's words and continued: "Okay, then explain to me, what makes you lose your soul, I won't listen to you?"

The memory of that dream in Yan An's brain was awakened again.He looked at Li Qiu, who folded his hands on his chest so that he could look at him leisurely, with a slight smile on his lips.

Yan An's world exploded with a "boom", almost instantly, his face turned red all over.

Li Qiu: ...?

He clicked his tongue and raised his hand to poke Yan An's chest.

"young bird."

Yan An: ...

Li Qiu didn't look at Yan An anymore, and walked forward on his own.He put the phone to his ear: "Hey, Orange, are you still there?"

"It's okay, the little chick at home is thinking of spring, and he can't walk anymore—don't mention this, where are you, let grandma answer the phone."

Li Qiu motioned Yan An to wait here, and walked quickly to the side to explain the cause and effect to Li Lin in a soft voice.

The conversation with Li Lin was extremely concise.To Li Qiu's surprise, Li Lin's reaction to the house demolition was flat.

"If it is demolished, it will be demolished." Li Lin said, "How much will you pay? Which section of the house?"

"..." Li Qiu heard his heart beating, "Grandma, I can't bear it."

The other side was silent for a few seconds: "Grandma knows."

"You can't dismantle it if you don't want to, silly boy." Xie Xingyu's voice came from Li Lin's side. She comforted her a few words, and then said to Li Qiu, "Turn down and change the elevator room, and you will live a better life."

Li Qiu was keenly aware of the word "you": "Isn't it us?"

"I won't stay with your children anymore." Li Lin said, "The nursing home is close to your Grandpa Xie's home."

Li Qiu knew that was just an excuse.

But he still responded: "...I see."

"Don't blame grandma for not following you." Li Lin has been with him for more than ten years, so she naturally understands Li Qiu's thoughts clearly, "Xiao An will be eighteen in a few years, and you will be almost liberated after he finishes the college entrance examination. It's almost time to live your own life—you know what I mean."

"When you get married and grandma has a great-grandson, grandma will be content to let the cub come to play with me for a few days when she has time."

Li Qiu stared at the lawn in the courtyard of 'Sunset Red' for a long time, until his vision was a little blurred, and then said: "Okay, grandma."

"I'll bring you grandpa Xie out to play. I'm so grown up that I have to ride on the merry-go-round." Li Lin smiled, "Don't tell me, I still miss you and Xiaocheng when they were young. Grandma just expects you to have a family in the future. Bring a little great-grandson to hug."

At the end of a conversation, there is always some sadness.Li Qiu paced casually, his eyes unconsciously falling on Yan An.The young brother was looking up with his hands in his pockets, wondering what he was thinking.He chuckled softly, and his voice couldn't help adding a bit of tenderness: "It must be."

Li Qiu hung up the phone and walked up to Yan An: "It's still your grandma who is open-minded."

"agreed?"

"I agree." Li Qiu handed the helmet to Yan An for him to put on, "I'm stupid, she thinks more than I do."

"You're not stupid." Yan An said, "We are all reluctant to go home."

"Go, go. Get in the car." Li Qiu laughed, not intending to drive.

Yan An looked at him with some confusion.

"Let's go." Li Qiu said, "You drive."

"……elder brother?"

Li Qiu glanced at Yan An: "No?"

Li Qiu's words had come to this point, Yan An couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to sit in front and start his love ride.

Over the years, Aiqi has more and more problems, and it is on the verge of being scrapped.Yan An tried to repair it a few days ago, and he almost fixed those old problems, even the roar and diesel smell were reduced by half.

Li Qiu's bracelet was around Yan An's waist, even with such an ordinary movement, Yan An couldn't help but feel distracted.

The cold wind blew across his cheeks, but his heart was warm, so he couldn't get cold no matter what.

Li Qiu suddenly asked: "When did you learn it?"

Yan An knew that he was asking the teacher for his crime.

"When I went out to do summer jobs and delivered things for people." Yan An spoke in a steady voice, nonsense without blushing.

"By the way, you can also repair motorcycles?"

"...watched the mechanics of the auto shop at work."

"There's still time to steal lessons at work, that's fine, your job is quite free."

Yan An could only laugh dryly.

"Young master, you don't really think that my eyes are just for display, do you?" Li Qiu didn't bother to tease him, so he simply said directly, "Aiqi has been with me longer than you, do you think it would be better if I changed my eyes?" Won't you find out?"

Yan An's hands tightened slightly.

Li Qiu patted him lightly on the back: "I've already said that it's fine to have me at home, and it's fine if you study hard. Why do you have to worry so much?"

"Brother." Yan An said, "I'm really not a child anymore. Don't call me that in the future. I'm grown up, and I can take care of the family affairs for you."

"Am I so useless? Do I need you to bear it?" Li Qiu was inexplicably irritable, "Why, you think your brother is useless and can't afford you, right?"

Probably every father and elder brother will face such a dilemma - as the younger generation grows up, they are also getting old.

So panic, panic.

"I'm not old yet." Li Qiu thought.

"No, brother." Yan An drove steadily, "I just don't want you to be too tired."

Li Qiu was proud and sad in his heart, and the fear brought about by the passing of time was left behind by him under such complicated emotions.He patted Yan An's waist: "I know. But you have to understand me, I really don't want you to think too much about things you shouldn't think about at this age."

"Did that brother think about it at this time?"

"I am me, you are you." Li Qiu said, "I think your life is better than mine."

"I've had a good time, brother." Yan An's voice was soft, with a calmness different from that of young people, "This is also a second-hand product that I saw by chance. It's not expensive. I bought it with my summer job money. I bought everything you gave me and went to buy food myself.”

Li Qiu sighed slightly in his heart.

He rested his head on Yan An's back, closed his eyes and took a nap, not wanting to expose this little liar's lies for the time being.

How can there be a second-hand motorcycle in the world with exactly the same wear and tear as the one I love to ride?
