When there were only the two of them left in the room, Qi Xiu said politely, "Auntie, do you have anything to say to me?"

Liu Danqing squeezed the quilt, and although he felt a little embarrassed, he still hesitated and said: "Doctor Qi, I, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy, it's just... yesterday I accidentally saw the person walking with you Very handsome, he, is he your friend?"

She felt that it was still very abrupt for her to ask, and she was afraid that Qi Xiu would get angry because of this, so she wanted to explain a few words: "Don't be angry, I..." She looked at Qi Xiu in panic and shame.

There was no sullen look on Qi Xiu's face, nor did he feel offended.Qi Xiu probably understood what Liu Danqing wanted to say, so he interrupted her with a smile, and said, "He is my lover." After speaking, he raised his left hand and looked at the ring on his ring finger, perhaps thinking of someone, and raised his brow The smile in the corner of his eyes deepened.

Liu Danqing never thought that he would be so frank and openly admitted his relationship with that man. For a moment, he felt that he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Qi Xiu in a daze.

Qi Xiu smiled and said: "I saw you turning around in a hurry yesterday afternoon, so I thought you must have seen it."

Hearing what he said, Liu Danqing felt his face turn hot, and he lowered his head and murmured, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend."

Qi Xiu: "Auntie, you didn't offend me, so don't feel sorry. My wife and I have been together for more than ten years, and the two of us are not secrets that cannot be disclosed. On the contrary, during the more than a year when I came here to study He came to see me from Fuyang whenever he was free, and it's not uncommon for colleagues in the hospital to see me." Qi Xiu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

Liu Danqing suddenly felt surprised: "More than ten years? So long!"

Qi Xiu: "Yeah, we've been together since high school, and we went to the United States to register for marriage after graduation. Although our marriage does not have legal effect in China, it doesn't matter. Choosing to register for marriage is just to give yourself love. It’s just a sense of ritual, as long as we live happily together, that’s enough.”

Liu Danqing nodded subconsciously, and after a while, she continued to ask: "Then, your parents..."

"My parents like him very much, and his family is very good to me."

Qi Xiu waited for a while, seeing that Liu Danqing looked down at the snow-white quilt as if lost in thought, and didn't intend to speak again, so he asked politely: "Aunt Liu? Then you rest first, if you feel uncomfortable, please Call me again."

"Oh, yes, thank you." Liu Danqing hurriedly recovered.

Qi Xiu smiled and said, "You're welcome." After speaking, he also walked out of the room.

When Cheng Yue returned to the ward with the packed ramen and saw Liu Danqing's confused expression, she asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Danqing took Cheng Yue's hand and asked, "Xiao Yue, isn't mom treating your two older brothers too much?"

Cheng Yue didn't know how to answer it, so she just called out in a low voice: "Mom."

Liu Danqing said to himself: "I also miss Xiaoyu and Xiaoqing very much. I think about it every year and every day. I think our family is doing well and living happily together. I know that your father and I have a good relationship." I will leave you one day and can no longer take care of you, so I hope you can all choose an easier path and have a more stable life."

Cheng Yue's nose was sore, she never thought about the life after her parents left, she always felt that such a life was still far away.She has watched her parents get older over the years. Because of the great changes in the family, her parents seem to be older than their peers. Now when she hears her mother say that, she can't help but feel sad.

She said: "Mom, I know that you and Dad are doing our best for our own good. They have been thinking of us since we were young. These years have been very hard, but my brother and the others have also had a hard time." Holding back the tears, he let it drip down his cheeks to the ground.She choked up and continued: "We have a childhood friendship. We have lived together in one place since we were young. Naturally, our relationship is deeper and stronger than that of others. Therefore, if we separate, it will be a thousand times more painful. This is the case between us brothers and sisters. , of course you too."

"It may be wrong for brothers to be together in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are human beings, not saints. They also have emotions and desires, the right to love and be loved, and the right to choose who to spend their lives with, but they fall in love with each other. People are just each other. They didn't kill people and set fires, didn't disturb the social order, and didn't make any terrific mistakes of breaking the law and discipline. On the contrary, one of them was a doctor who helped the world, and the other was a lawyer who advocated fairness and justice. Good thing, is it really unforgivable just because you love each other?"

Liu Danqing couldn't hide the pain on her face, she said: "But they are brothers!"

Cheng Yue shook her hand and said, "It's true that they are brothers, but they are not real brothers. They have no blood relationship. You can't label them as '□□' just because they lived together since childhood. It's not fair!"

"But, but what do other people think of the two of them? They won't tolerate them like family members."

Cheng Yue sobbed: "Who doesn't tell people behind their backs, who doesn't get told behind their backs, but so what? Don't you love us because someone is gossiping behind your back? Life is for yourself , isn’t it more important for our family to be healthy and happy living together? These years they separated at your request, but in the past five years, how have you been? Are you happy? Are you healthy? ? They are also living such a painful and helpless life, you are also very distressed, right?"

Liu Danqing burst into tears, she had to admit that what Cheng Yue said was right, this kind of life was really too tormented, she wanted to end it a long time ago.

Cheng Yue continued: "Dr. Qi and his wife were not attacked maliciously in the hospital. Instead, everyone was very friendly and respectful to them. There are still many gentle people in this world. Besides, you and Dad are the best brothers Dear ones, if even you can't tolerate them, how can you expect those irrelevant people to treat them better?"

Hearing Cheng Yue mentioning Qi Xiu, Liu Danqing looked at her in surprise and asked, "Do you know Dr. Qi?"

Cheng Yue nodded and said: "Yes, I will know the day I sent you here. After you rested that day, I went to the office to find Dr. Qi, and I happened to see a man in police uniform sitting at his desk. He told me that Qi The doctor went to make rounds and asked me to wait, and then a nurse at the nurse's station told me that it was Dr. Qi's lover, surnamed Lu, and they had a very good relationship and a good match."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Danqing asked her in a daze.

Cheng Yue reluctantly raised the corners of her lips, and said, "Why am I telling you this? You will think too much if I tell you." She looked at Liu Danqing's questioning eyes, sighed, and continued: "Now I tell you yes Because just now you left Dr. Qi alone and sent me away, and you looked at the ring on Dr. Qi's hand for a long time this morning, I think you found something and talked about it with Dr. Qi."

Liu Danqing nodded, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart, when did Cheng Yue become so thoughtful and able to read words and expressions, as if she had grown up all of a sudden.

She sighed silently, closed her eyes and said nothing.

From then on, her heart seemed to be knocked open by something. Every time she saw Qi Xiu, her heart softened and she missed Gong Qing and Cheng Yu again.Later in the hospital, she met Dr. Qi's parents and Mr. Lu's mother who came to the hospital to visit him together. They had a very good relationship. Even if they were talking in the garden downstairs, they seemed like a happy family.Such a scene made her envious, and it also made her constantly reflect on herself.

And whenever Qi Xiu's family brought him something, he would bring some to Liu Danqing, and Liu Danqing could feel the satisfaction and joy in his heart.

After staying in the hospital for more than a month, Liu Danqing finally returned home. Although her feet are still covered with plaster and bandages and her feet are difficult to move and need to be taken care of, she has a sense of security and solidity at home.She thought of the two children again. They have been wandering outside for so many years. Isn't it lonely without the company of their relatives?

She had a deep talk with Cheng Yan, talked about her life in these years, and talked about her deepest thoughts. She told Cheng Yan that she really wanted two sons.They have been separated for so long, even though they are far apart, nothing has changed. As Cheng Yu once said, they can prevent the two of them from being together, but they can't stop his love for Gong Qing.She watched the members of this family spend more than five years with each other. The distance between everyone is getting farther and farther, and the emotional rift is getting deeper and deeper. This harbor seems to be no longer warm to everyone. This is really cruel. It's also pretty sad.

Cheng Yan, who has always been shrewd and decisive, didn't say anything this time. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and between his brows were engraved with the helplessness and bitterness of these years, and his gradually graying hair also reminded him that he was no longer young.He can still be a wise and wise leader in a formal suit, but without his armor, he is still an ordinary old father.

He walked to the window and looked at the flickering lights outside the window, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Come back, come back, the wind at night is a bit cold, they like to push on the quilt when they were young, and they will catch cold."

Soon after, Gong Qing graduated from graduate school and returned home.Over the years, he has gotten used to this kind of life. Even though he knows that his eldest brother will not appear at home, he still can't help but look forward to it every time he returns home, and then he is deeply disappointed when he gets home.

He is thinner than before. Even if he is wearing loose clothes, a tall man of 1.8 meters will still make people feel thin and malnourished. Liu Danqing can't help crying after watching it. It's easy to cry.

A few days after arriving home, Gong Qing started looking for a job in Nanshi. Cheng Yue has been taking care of my aunt and uncle all these years away from home. Now that he has graduated and his elder brother is not at home, he should also take on the responsibility of taking care of them. Whether it is repayment or redemption, this is what he should do anyway.

In the afternoon, Liu Danqing and Cheng Yan suddenly stood at the door of his bedroom. He was arranging materials at the desk. When he looked up at their serious faces, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Little aunt, little uncle, what's wrong?"

"Come out and talk." Liu Danqing said with a faint smile.

Gong Qing suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, her heart beat like a drum, and she followed Liu Danqing and Cheng Yan to the living room in a trance.

After Cheng Yan sat down on the sofa, he raised his chin to Gong Qing and said, "Sit down."

Gong Qing hummed and sat on the single sofa beside Liu Danqing, not daring to vent her anger, forcing herself not to think too much.

Liu Danqing pushed the various certificates and materials on the tea table to Gong Qing, and said, "These are the various inheritances of your parents. Now that you have grown up, it's time to give them to you."

Gong Qing stared at the strange things on the table, and then panicked after being stunned for a moment.What does it mean?He never thought of getting the property of Liu Xiyue and Gong You, even if he was adopted by them, these things are not his.Being adopted by this family, giving him a safe place to live and a warm home, he is already very content, besides, he has been brought up by Liu Danqing's family these years, he has got too much, these things are his Absolutely not.

Moreover, if these things are collected, does it mean that there will be no more debts from now on?He doesn't want these, he just wants to stay in this home, all he wants is human warmth!

Gong Qing's heart was beating very fast, and her thoughts were in a mess. The changes in this family over the years had to make him feel a heavy sense of guilt. this home.Let him cut off all contact with them, it would be better to let him apologize with death.

He couldn't help trembling, and he instinctively thought that it was his aunt and uncle who were going to drive him away, and the tension in his heart was broken in an instant.He knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed to his aunt and uncle. His face was full of tears, his voice was choked with sobs, and he kept begging: "Auntie, uncle, please don't drive me away, okay? I know everything is wrong." It's my fault, it's all my fault, you can do whatever you want me to do, please don't let me go? I can't bear you, I love you very much! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, auntie ..."

Gong Qing was crying hysterically. The grievances and pains of these years turned into stronger confessions and prayers at this moment. At this moment, he is as weak as a chick who can't grasp it. Anyone who sees him will bear it. I can't help but feel uncomfortable.

Liu Danqing never expected that his simple words would arouse such a big wave of emotions in Gong Qing, so she hurriedly pulled him up, and kept touching his red and swollen forehead, feeling distressed.She hugged Gong Qing into her arms, and her emotions became agitated for a moment. She and Gong Qing hugged each other and cried bitterly. The scene was indescribably sad.

Cheng Yan sighed, patted the backs of the two of them, and said, "Silly boy, how could we not want you after we have raised you for so long, get up!"

Hearing this, Gong Qing stopped crying hysterically. He raised his head to look at Cheng Yan sobbing, and then turned his eyes back to Liu Danqing's face. It seemed that he didn't understand until Liu Danqing wiped his face. Tears nodded to him, and then he believed Cheng Yan's words were true, and he would not leave this house.

Liu Danqing calmed down and said to him: "You are our good boy, how could we be willing to let you go, this is your home. We are also thinking about it, and we will not hinder you from being together. It's been too long." She sighed, and then continued: "Xiaoyue is right, the world is difficult, and the most important thing in this world is the safety, health and happiness of a family. Besides, you and I My little uncle is getting old too, and the road ahead will be for you to accompany and take care of each other. Lovers don’t spend too long together, so we won’t waste your time.”

Gong Qing couldn't believe her ears, these words that he didn't even dare to expect came out of Liu Danqing's mouth, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Before he came back to his senses, Cheng Yan also said: "That's right, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. These years have not been easy for everyone, and you have experienced too much suffering. You should also go home."

Gong Qing saw that the corners of Cheng Yan's eyes were also a little watery. In all these years, he had never seen such a little uncle.

Going home, he really wanted to go home, to the home full of warmth and joy, to the home where everyone was happy and happy, to the home where the big brother was there.

He is a person who is burdened with crimes. He sentenced himself to life imprisonment, but suddenly on the same day, the victim said mercifully, "You are not guilty." He really couldn't express his feelings at this moment. Open the shackles and see the gratitude and hope of sunshine again.

Gong Qing felt his head "buzzing". It seemed that everything he heard just now was an illusion. He pinched his arm until it turned red, and the pain from his arm made him realize that it was not an illusion. The relationship between him and Cheng Yu It was really accepted by Liu Danqing and Cheng Yan.

He knelt on the ground and hugged Liu Danqing and Cheng Yan, and kept calling "little aunt, little uncle" in a trembling voice. Tears kept pouring out of his eyes, and the grievances, pain, self-blame, and guilt of these years were all contained in his eyes. A simple "Sorry, thank you" hits the mark.

After that, perhaps because her tense nerves were suddenly released, Gong Qing fell seriously ill instead and stayed in the hospital intermittently for nearly a month.

Cheng Yue was very excited when she learned that her parents accepted the feelings of the two elder brothers. She was as everyone thought, this family is finally going to be complete!Seeing her second brother lying weak on the hospital bed, her heart always feels uncomfortable. Perhaps it is because she has witnessed the difficulty of the two of them walking along the way, so she hopes that they can live well in the future.

When Gong Qing got better, Cheng Yue wanted to call her eldest brother back, but Gong Qing said: "Don't be busy, anyway, it will be New Year's Day soon, let him come back for the New Year's Eve, and give him a surprise. "

Their relationship broke down on New Year's Day of that year, so the new relationship will continue from here when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

After being discharged from the hospital, Gong Qing started to deal with work matters. After she was in a cheerful mood, the time passed very quickly, as if it was the joyous New Year's Day in the blink of an eye.

At Cheng Yue's urging, Cheng Yu bought a plane ticket for the last day of December, and when he got home, he was still wrapped in the cold wind.He smoked a cigarette downstairs as usual, and knocked on the door after he regained his composure.However, what he didn't expect was that the person he had been thinking about day and night was reflected in the depths of his pupils. He couldn't believe his eyes for a moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but tears fell unconsciously. Miss this man so much!

The moment Gong Qing saw Cheng Yu, she suddenly thought of the summer when she was 17 years old. The scene was so similar, but now the people inside and outside the door had changed positions.But what didn't change was that when he opened the door and saw his eldest brother, he still couldn't help but be moved.

The light in the corridor was warm and bright. When they reunited after a long absence, Gong Qing stepped forward to hug Cheng Yu and said, "Brother, I miss you very much, welcome home!"

Cheng Yu hugged Gong Qing tightly, as if someone who had been groping in the dark for six years finally saw the light. He buried his head in Gong Qing's neck and wept uncontrollably, and said in a choked voice, "Me too, I miss you very much, especially Miss you!"

The stars tonight are as bright and dazzling as they were six years ago, and the bright street lights meander to more distant places accompanied by brilliant neon lights.The bell of the new year is ringing at this time, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, family reunion, the pain of the past will end here, and all the good things will start from this moment. I wish you, my dear, a happy new year!

The author says:

Ahhh, the main text is finally over, after more than three months of writing, I finally insisted on writing it to the end!It is definitely not comparable to the works of the great masters, but I am very satisfied if I entertain myself, write the stories I want to write, and bring happiness to some friends.As a novice in writing, there is still a lot of room for improvement in conception and writing. I hope that I can write better and better in the future.

Well, I am still very grateful to the little friends who are willing to take the time to look at my works. I thought this story could be more detailed and longer, but because I will soon go to work in the border areas, time and energy are limited, so I have to write the story Compressed and short, the ending may be a bit rushed, sorry!

If I have time, I may write a side story, but if I don’t have time, I won’t write it.Hahaha, recently, "nonsense literature" has been deeply poisoned, so nonsense continues.

The last three sentences:

1. If Qi Xiu and Lu Suo make a cameo appearance here, those who come here will always be regarded as a bright light.

2. Qi Xiu & Lu Suo, the story guides the way "The Way Away and the Light".

3. Jimei, see you soon!
