fourth rebirth

He won the first trophy in his life on the podium built at that time.

At the same time, in the ancient temple in Shu, Chi Ran stepped onto the first step. At the end of the steps, a monk held flowers and smiled.If Chi Zhe was still there, he might find that he had been here before and met this monk.

In the huge Buddhist hall, the Buddha statues are solemn and the incense is flourishing.Chi Ran stood without kneeling or speaking.The monk didn't mind either, and smiled slightly,

……

A major physical examination is required when entering junior high school.

There are hundreds of people in a grade, but the medical staff is fixed.At this time, the teacher will let the students take the physical examination form by themselves, find a gap, go there, and return when the form is filled.

Hundreds of students dispersed noisily like this.The time interval was too long, and Chi Zhe, who was used to being quiet, was obviously not used to such an environment.

If I had known it earlier, I would have promised my father yesterday, and went to have a separate medical examination with Chi Ran.

Chi Zhe frowned, looking at the overcrowded hall and the classmates who huddled in the corner behind the stairs after the blood was drawn, chatting while munching on the breakfast provided by the school, he felt a rare regret in his heart.

Because you can only eat after having your blood drawn, most people coax each other to get their blood drawn first.The troops came and went quickly, and after a while, there were only a few empty chairs and a few nurses packing up the test tubes containing blood.

Only then did Chi Zhe walk over and let a nurse with a blue stripe on his hat draw the blood.That person was the head nurse, and when the blood was drawn, it was also the person who took the blood who covered her arm for the shortest time.

Sure enough, it didn't hurt very much. After loosening the cotton that was pressing on the wound, Chi Zhe moved his arms slightly and went up to the physical examination hall on the second floor.

He didn't see the hand behind him that took away the fresh blood.

……

"The result has been verified." Chi Ran's face was very calm, so calm that people couldn't figure out her thoughts, and couldn't tell whether she was speaking a question sentence or an affirmative sentence.

"Yes."

"Looking for someone." Chi Ran pushed a photo over.

……

The physical examination meant that the senior high school entrance examination was approaching, and Chi Zhe also returned to school, preparing to review for the exam.Chi Zhe's school is the best junior high school in the city. The requirements are a bit strict, and every student needs to study by himself at night.

For Chi Zhe, a "back student" who has been absent from school for more than half a year, the students in the class feel a little far away.Chi Zhe didn't care, he found a back corner and sat down, but suddenly thought of Guan Qi, if it was that guy, he must have pretended to be a good student when he met a classmate who was absent from class for more than half a year I have to teach others how to look like, and then test it step by step to see if I can be a younger brother, or I want to win over, or something else.

Thinking of such a scene, Chi Zhe couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Due to the reform of the education system, there are more current affairs news in the political examination in junior high school.Every night, the 10-minute news time is the most anticipated time for the children who have just started the boarding house.

It's a pity to hold a press conference again. It seems that since this leader came to power, all kinds of press conferences have never stopped. The conference is followed by the small conference, and the small conference is followed by the conference. The children and grandchildren are endless.

Every day on TV is that dry old face, those things that have been said to be bad, those empty achievements and abilities, and the replays are overwhelming and old.No interesting news really.

The affairs of the state leaders are too far away from them, and a group of adolescent children took advantage of this time to make a fuss.

Throwing notes, looking in the mirror, whispering...the voices were very loud.

"Quiet!"

The head teacher blushed and strode in from the classroom door behind.It's just a matter of leaving for a few minutes and it's like this!She glared at those who made the most noise.

The others immediately wilted, feeling uneasy.

The head teacher didn't say anything, just sat on the podium and looked at the children below coldly. It would be more conducive to management to give them a blow at this time.

"Can't you fucking get over it? You're so fat!" A boy suddenly yelled, "It's disgusting to be full of fat! You're like a pig!"

The head teacher's face turned green with anger, "Lu Fan! Get out!"

The boy was tall and thin, his hair was dyed, and he looked very rebellious. He went out cursing.

The eyes of the classmates watching the excitement immediately focused on the remaining girls.

The girl was very calm, her indifferent eyes met those mocking and malicious eyes calmly.

It's a pity that her figure is really weak, like a round ball.

It really looks like a pig!A group of innocent children giggled.

Chi Zhe remembered her, the girl's surname was Chen, Chen Yaoru.

Her parents are both teachers, and they are very concerned about her education, but because they only have one daughter, they are very indulgent, so her appearance looks so amazing.

However, her own abilities are outstanding. After attending the best liberal arts university, she taught herself a few languages, worked in the United Nations, and finally joined the political party. Of course, she was already slim at that time, with a tall figure and a beautiful body face.It's a pity that the marriage didn't go well. In the last life, when Chi Zhe left, she had just divorced her third husband.In public opinion, the society is still very strict on women, because of this, her public opinion has dropped again and again, and her official career has been ruined.

In the previous life, Chi Zhe had heard about her from Guan Qi, and Guan Qi spoke highly of her, but it was a pity that she was a woman, and her natural path was more difficult.

At the end of the evening self-study, she stayed on the seat alone, slowly packing her schoolbag, and everyone around her walked around her, as if they were afraid of contracting some virus.

Looking at the girl's appearance, Chi Zhe suddenly thought of Chi Ran. Recently, Chi Ran has gained a lot of weight, and Qiao Rou was worried that she would not be able to buy clothes.

He walked over.

The girl didn't look up, she just packed her things on her own.But Chi Zhe could clearly see the tears falling from her schoolbag.

Unintentional words are always the most hurtful.

Chi Zhe handed over a piece of chocolate and a pack of tissues, which were given to him by Chi Ran, but he hasn't eaten yet.

The girl didn't answer, so he put it on her desk.He didn't speak, and Chi Zhe didn't know what to say. He thought for a while, patted her head as he did Chi Ran, and then left.

The matter ended quietly like this.

But when he saw Chi Ran the next day, Chi Zhe still couldn't help but say a few more words: "Sister, you should restrain your appetite. If you go on like this, you must be fat to death."

Most of the girls are very taboo about this word. Chi Ran squeezed Chi Zhe's face fiercely, and didn't let go until he begged for mercy.But she still hasn't changed her habit. She eats snacks every day between classes, mostly chocolate, candies, cakes and other high-calorie and high-fat foods.

Chi Ran is now taken away by his grandfather basically every month, and every time he comes back, he always has a few more documents in his hand.Chi Zhe looked at it secretly and found that it was some planning projects. Chi Ran was already 16 years old, and his grandfather began to let her take over some things formally.

At the beginning, Chi Zhe would also help to read a few copies, but later, when he found that he was unable to find out the hidden problems from the few pages due to the lack of practical operation, he gave up and just controlled Chi Ran. , Don't let her eat too much at night.

Children in junior high school have gradually grown up, with classes and classifications.Chi Ran and Chi Zhe wore very good clothes, and they were considered top in this small school, but they never communicated with people very much, so they were squeezed out like this.Chen Yaoru was the one who communicated with them the most. Ever since she found out that Chi Ran was Chi Zhe's sister, she tried twice and found that Chi Ran didn't reject or discriminate, so she gradually got closer to Chi Ran.

When I graduated from junior high school, I looked at the small groups gathered at the graduation party, looking at the lonely self beside me and Chi Ran who was still mad at the piles of materials.Chi Zhe thought of Xu Zhimo's poem strangely.

quietly i leave, just as quietly i came; softly i wave, and transform into a cloud in the western sky... quietly i leave, just as quietly i came; waving my sleeves, i won't take a single cloud away .

That's true!Chi Zhe amused himself.However, after all, he has lived for such a long time, and he really has nothing in common with these children.He didn't have much passion anymore. Apart from handing Chen Ya a piece of chocolate, he didn't look like the protagonist in the novel to accept younger brothers and cultivate influence.

This situation is very normal.As for Chi Ran, she has eaten too much during this time, and she is almost catching up with Chen Ya's body shape.Chi Zhe was really worried.

The results of the senior high school entrance examination came out, Chi Zhe was the number one scholar, and Chi Ran's results were mediocre.Chi Zhe enrolled in a provincial key high school, while Chi Ran enrolled in an ordinary school.Chi Ran's savvy and aura may be very good, but her IQ is only average. Taking into account two things at the same time, her grades are not good, they are mediocre.However, the family does not care about her grades.As grandpa gets older year after year, the burden that Chi Ran has to take on will become heavier and heavier.Both Chi Yiqing and Qiao Rou tended to make her relax.

The author has something to say: After deciding on the outline I chose, I feel that it is much easier to write.Chi Ran will die, that's all

38

The high school entrance examination is over. It's rare that both Chi Ran and Chi Zhe have free time. The parents also hope that they will take advantage of this time to go out for a walk. Chi Zhe is fine. Chi Ran may not find any chance to travel alone in the future.Chi Zhe also knows how heavy the burden is on his sister, so this trip is based on Chi Ran.

The first stop is the theme park.Giant flowers, giant grass, giant steps, everything is magnified.Here, you're like a bewildered, unsteady baby crawling into the adult world.

The hotels in the park are also designed according to this concept.The lobby is arranged like an ordinary family living room, but it has been enlarged countless times in proportion.

A chair as high as a tourist, and a table that two people can get on top of each other.It can be used as a plate for the washbasin, and there are chopsticks or knives and forks half an arm long.A vase with three people hugging each other, a book half as tall as a person, and a towel that can be used as a quilt cover.

Everything feels extremely novel.

The rooms are not inferior to the lobby.Huge cradle bed, a giant doll nearly two meters in size, an umbrella the size of a pavilion, and a baby bottle half as tall as a person.

After playing wildly for a day, both of them were too tired to move their legs. As soon as they got on the bed, Chi Zhe fell asleep.

In the room next to him, Chi Ran changed into a cotton pajamas, barefoot, stepped on the cold floor, and went to the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee.

The lights were not turned on, the whole room was shrouded in darkness, and the TV in the living room flickered weakly.

Above, is the peaceful sleeping face of a handsome boy.

Few people know that half a year ago, this park, together with the theme hotel inside, was acquired by the same Hong Kong Group.

Confession agent, hypnotist, psychologist, lie detector.

Chi Zhe half-opened his eyes half awake.

Chi Ran didn't look back at him, she turned the pages of the book with her back to the light.

In about two hours, everything was ready. The man bent down and asked Chi Ran for instructions. She nodded slightly and agreed.

"Wait." Made up his mind, but when he saw the man approaching Chi Zhe, Chi Ran changed his words, "Let me do it."

There is no explanation and no explanation is needed.Several people stood aside respectfully, and they believed in this seemingly immature girl more than Grandpa Qiao.

Chi Ran sat on the head of the bed, and she stretched out a hand to touch Chi Zhe's face.The skin under his hands is delicate and smooth, with the youthfulness and beauty unique to teenagers.Carefully looking at this face that has been together for more than ten years, Chi Ran withdrew his hand after gently touching it.

The moment she withdrew her hand, she became Chi Ran again, not Chi Zhe's sister, not Chi Yiqing's daughter, but Chi Ran.

Some things have to be faced after all.

Start with the simplest questions such as gender and name, and then slowly increase the weight when Chi Zhe's psychological defense line is relaxed.

The question Chi Ran asked was very erratic, and in the eyes of several other people, it seemed that there was no pattern to follow.Only Chi Ran knew that there was a thin layer of sweat on her palms.

Favorite movies - Lord of the Rings, Westward Journey, Terminator, Forrest Gump, ET, The King of Comedy, The Matrix...

Favorite novels—Infinite Horror, Zichuan, Fights Break the Sphere, Coiling Dragon, God's Tomb...

The school I attended——…

age--……

How much is the biggest lottery prize in China, and what number is the lottery——

……

Chi Ran slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

"Who are your parents?" She asked almost close to Chi Zhe's face, very gently, as if she was afraid of breaking something.

"... Chi, Chi Yiqing, Qiao Rou... Chi Guoliang, Zhang Jing..." He said the last two names very slowly and softly, only Chi Ran who was close to him could faintly hear... …

Chi Ran turned and left.

A piece of information was quickly collected in front of her.

Movies that have never been made or are being made in secret, novels that have not yet been published or have only one title, ambiguous ages, schools that cannot be attended at the same time, future predictions, different parent names, actual blood relationship The body, the words of the monk...

Covering her face with her hands to prevent others from seeing her expression, an emotion called exhaustion slowly eroded Chi Ran's body along her ankles...

Rebirth is the most beautiful and terrifying word in this world.

Especially... infinite rebirth.

Curled up in the cradle bed, Chi Zhe yawned sleepily, rubbing against the soft bed, he didn't want to get up at all.Last night, he slept very comfortably, the peaceful sleep he hadn't had in a long time.He also had a dream, a beautiful dream, although he couldn't remember the content, but when he thought of it, he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It's rare that Chi Ran also stayed in bed, I happened to sleep a little longer, hugging the giant doll, Chi Zhe only took 1 minute to convince himself, and then fell asleep again.

……

Happy days are always short. When they are still unfulfilled, there is only a short tail left in the holiday.

When we arrived at the station, it was a somewhat unfamiliar face who came to pick us up.

Not long ago, Chi Yiqing was promoted again, and there were more occasions that needed to be present, and Qiao Rou, as his wife, also accompanied him, and the two of them couldn't spare time to pick up people.

"Hello, Uncle Sun." Chi Zhe greeted the man with a formulaic smile.

The man seemed to be not good at words, and he didn't answer the words. He just smiled innocently. With that calm and honest face, he looked extraordinarily sincere and steady.

He is an old man who has been steadfastly by Chi Yiqing's side since he was just the director of the city's public security bureau. He has some ability and self-knowledge. Chi Yiqing is also willing to treat him kindly, so he should set an example for the people below.He is also a man who knows how to repay his kindness. He always does what Chi Yiqing ordered by himself. No matter what the effect is, it is also his heart.

Like this pick-up, Chi Yiqing must have asked him to find a driver, but he didn't want to pretend to be someone else and came by himself.

Chi Zhe remembered that it was because of his habit that Chi Yiqing couldn't deliver him where he was going during the holidays. Basically, it was Sun Bo, Uncle Sun who drove the car.

"Sister, this is Uncle Sun, an old man who followed Dad, and is now in charge of the anti-drug brigade in the city." Chi Zhe introduced to Chi Ran.Chi Ran spent most of her holidays in Hong Kong. She didn't know Sun Bo.

"Hello, Uncle Sun." Chi Ran nodded slightly as a greeting.

When they went out for a trip, they didn't bring many things. They only put some basic clothes in the two backpacks, and they traveled lightly.But when I came back, I bought a few boxes temporarily in order to bring souvenirs.

Fortunately, Sun Bo drove Chi Yiqing's personal car. The members of the Chi family all prefer off-road vehicles, which have a lot of space.

On the outside, Sun Bo looks like a stupid big man who can't speak and only knows how to do things with his head covered, but in fact he has a good eloquence and a good mind, and he has a face that looks sincere, even if he says something inappropriate , most people would only think it was his slip of the tongue.

Along the way, he chatted with Chi Zhe from time to time, with a very respectful attitude, flattering Chi Zhe, praising Chi Yiqing, and Qiao Rou. His simple and straightforward words made people feel comfortable.

The relationship between Chi Zhe and him has become a lot closer.When he got out of the car, he could already call "Uncle Sun" naturally.

Chi Ran stood aside, did not speak, and pressed her stomach with one hand, making her feel a little nauseous.

Chi Ran suffered from mild motion sickness. Sun Bo's driving skills may be good, but they are by no means comparable to professional private drivers.Also, he talked too much.

Talking all the way, driving all the way, dual-purpose, the car is not driving smoothly.

A family like the Qiao family has so-called servants.When Chi Ran was in Hong Kong, Grandpa Qiao assigned her a driver.The driver's great-grandfather drove the car for Grandpa Qiao. Grandpa once disclosed the car to Grandpa Qiao. His father is now Grandpa Qiao's full-time driver. Their family has been the private driver of Qiao's family for almost generations.

Loyal, steadfast, with excellent skills and proper skills, he puts the safety of Qiao's family above his own life.Of course, for Chi Ran, the most important thing is that they know where they are. When she doesn't want anyone to bother them, they are just robots that drive.When she needed someone to talk to, they were tight-lipped secrecy keepers.

She was used to such a driver, but she was really not used to such a non-professional.

Seek his own government in his place.What the anti-drug brigade wants is a captain who controls the overall situation, not a driver who is sycophant.

Chi Ran decided to make a call later and ask Grandpa Qiao to bring her driver over.Next, she will go out more often, and she needs a professional driver.

When he got home, Sun Bo smiled innocently, and when he said hello and left, Chi Ran also waved his hand with a smile, which was considered polite.

A little man with an honest face.

She defined Sun Bo like this.

She had no idea that this little person whom she defined as needless to worry about had killed her together with others.

Just a stranger.

The car drove away, and the two passed by.

June 6th is Chi Zhe's 9th birthday. Two months in advance, Chi Yiqing and Qiao Rou are planning Chi Zhe's birthday party. They are used to keeping a low profile, but their son's 16th birthday is is a big day.

16 years old already means growing up.

On Chi Ran's 16th birthday, she was arguing with a group of old men abroad with Grandpa Qiao, and she was afraid of trouble, so afterward, only a few of them had a small meal, which was considered a make-up.

Missing their daughter's birthday, the husband and wife decided to make Chi Zhe's birthday a big one, which was a regret.

Throwing a birthday party is not an easy task.Chi Yiqing has always acted in a low-key manner. Most of his sons and daughters have only heard of him and never seen him. This time is not only Chi Zhe's birthday party, but also his first public appearance.

Chi Zhe's ideal is to be a director, and connections are essential. In politics, business, and entertainment circles, being a director is not an easy task.So the guest list has to be thought through as well.

The number of people should not be too many. If there are too many people, there will be a little more politeness and alienation between people.It can't be too little, too little, and it's easy to miss those seemingly insignificant people who actually play a decisive role in Chi Zhe's future career.

There are also venues, layouts, etc. There are few people in the Chi family, and Chi Ran is still in other provinces, so Qiao Rou is very busy.

Seeing this, Sekisaki simply asked for a month's leave and came back to help.Qiao Rou refused at first, but Guan Qi took out a stack of test papers and persuaded her, not because of how good Guan Qi's grades were, but because,

In addition to English and mathematics, basically all subjects are below the pass line.

……

There are high scores and low abilities in this world, so naturally there are low scores and high abilities.Chi Ran is exactly this kind of person, and Guan Qi can be regarded as a good seedling with high scores and high energy.But, unfortunately, as an uncle who dropped out of school at the age of 14 and had a core of over 30, once again, Sekisaki really did not adapt to school.

History, when he was in the black, he read a few unofficial histories, and there were colorful contents in them, which were very popular.

For politics, he can guarantee that his answer is correct, but he cannot guarantee that the old man who teaches politics has a good heart.

Physics,...why did he have nothing to do to calculate the color of a bear rolling down the mountain with a known speed?If there is such a stupid bear, his first reaction is to catch it and sell it for a price.

Well, there are bound to be many students who are saddened by this question to bid for meat.

Chemistry,... Teacher, I am actually quite interested in it, but, can you let me go to the laboratory?Head office once a year, right?I invest in schools.

Biology, well, he is quite familiar with the anatomy of both male and female human bodies.It's a pity that the taste is milder, and the structure of the animal is not good.

Geography, he was familiar with certain gray lines.

Chinese,... He never speaks dirty words now, which is already a very good performance of Chinese literacy.

Fortunately, he is not Guan Nan's own son, but the Guan family's own grandson.Guan Nan is more tolerant of adopted sons, especially those who can stay with Chi Yiqing for so long.

Lightly using the excuse of adoptive son to dismiss the red-eyed nephew and niece who came to complain to him with Guan Qi's report card, Guan Nan squinted slightly, leaning on the rattan chair, listening to Kunqu opera, babbling, slowly I can't sing more slowly, and beat the rhythm on my legs together.

In recent years, he has become more and more like an old man.

The old man waved his sleeves and immersed himself in the world of art.

He stayed behind and was imprisoned for a month because he slipped out of the top three in the exam, wishing that he was the nephew and niece who was also picked up, crying in grief and indignation.

Said it was helping, but what Sekisaki did was superficial coping.He and Chi Zhe knew very well that this birthday party would not be possible.

A week before that banquet, there would be a fire that would destroy the whole house, along with the invitations that had not yet been sent.

Once, it was Sekisaki who set the fire, but now,

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Chi Zhe, you'd better call and ask Chi Ran to come back." After a long silence, Guan Qi finally brought up the topic on his own initiative.

"Why? Wouldn't it be safer if Chi Ran wasn't here anymore?" Chi Zhe was a little puzzled.

"You know? Recently, I recalled that incident again," Guan Qi spoke slowly, as if he was recalling something, "At that time, I wanted to retire with all my heart, and the old man suddenly had an illegitimate child , I was in the middle of the game, and I didn’t think too much about it, so I just followed the trend. Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s right.”

Guan Qi frowned, "I followed the old man for 6 years. During the 6 years, he smuggled a lot of things, including cars, medicines, machinery, and arms, and did a lot of bad things, but he never got poisoned. Why? Suddenly there is interest, where is the channel for purchase and the direction of sales?"

"Also, at that time, if I could get my father's information, he would naturally be able to get it too. He has been in the world for more than ten years, can't he see the problems in it? And with his experience, he can also get it. How can you be so angry and completely out of proportion because of the destruction of the headquarters?"

Chi Zhe also pursed his lips. Indeed, it seems that it was not a simple extermination of the family.

He didn't notice Guan Qi's address to Chi Yiqing at all, and of course, Guan Qi didn't notice his small change, he just habitually followed Chi Zhe's tone of narrative.

"You mean, there's someone behind him, and...a higher status than Dad?" After thinking it over, Chi Zhe's face became a little more gloomy.

"Besides this reason, I can't find any other possibility." Guan Qi sighed and rubbed his temples, "And that batch of drugs, I still remember until I left the gang, except for the destroyed part, that batch of drugs Most of them are hidden in the city."

"...Is this a back trick? The purpose is Dad?" After a moment of silence, Chi Zhe spoke. He spoke slowly, but with a sense of coldness.

"That should be the case, so I suggest calling Chi Ran back. Otherwise,..." Guan Qi didn't continue, but Chi Zhe knew what he said next.

She is likely to become a target when she is alone.

Closing his eyes, Chi Zhe didn't speak for a long time.

"Scared?" Guan Qi handed Chi Zhe a cup of hot milk tea.At times like this, the temperature and plenty of sugar can feel warm.

"No," Chi Zhe was a little lonely, he sighed a long time, "It's just the first time I found out that I was really born into a political family."

It is family.Guan Qi, who knew the existence of the Chi family, did not speak, and listened quietly. He knew that what Chi Zhe needed now was only a pair of ears.

"I've never been exposed to these things, really." Chi Zhe spoke quickly, "Dad never brought these things home, and he never told us. I don't have any privileges, no luxury cars, There are no beauties who throw myself in my arms, I haven’t been in any second-generation official circles, and I can’t even remember a few of my classmates.”

His thoughts were confused, and he spoke incoherently, "I don't know who the current governor, secretary of the provincial party committee, and premier of the State Council are? I only know the name of the oldest one, and I can't even remember who his wife is. I have always felt that the family only has some money, and I am like an ordinary rich second generation who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. I never thought about it, thought about it..."

He emptily grabbed a few handfuls in the air, as if he wanted to wave some dirty things away, "Someone would want our lives like this."

"I know." Guan Qi hugged Chi Zhe gently, and gave him a warm and firm hug.

"They want to kill us, kill me..." Leaning in Guan Qi's arms, Chi Zhe repeated these words in a murmur.

Guan Qi thought he was thinking of Chi Ran's death again, sighed, and hugged Chi Zhe tighter, tightly against his heart.Only Chi Zhe knew that what he was thinking of was his own death in two lifetimes.

Also,... Chi Yiqing's perfect handling of this incident.

He knows, he should know, right?

Chi Zhe was asking, asking about the hidden self and those blocked memories.

No one answered, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

The seed called resentment was finally nourished by a drop of rain, and slowly but irreversibly stretched out the first tender leaf, in the corner that even Chi Zhe had never noticed.

Chi Ran was woken up by the phone call. There were too many arrangements and arrangements. Recently, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed. She raised her eyelids and glanced at the number. She reluctantly got up, barefoot , stepped on the test papers that were all over the floor or were blank or scored single digits, went to the kitchen, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, poured it directly on the towel, and then simply covered the whole dripping towel on the face.

The icy cold feeling made her finally wake up for a moment, shaking her head, making sure her thinking was still functioning normally, she called back the call.

"Hello." No matter what time it is, Chi Ran's voice is always immature but full of vitality.Hearing her voice, the depression in Chi Zhe's chest subconsciously dissipated.

"Sister, June 6th is my birthday. Do you want to come?"

"You thought I would miss your birthday? Huh?" Chi Zhe's voice suddenly rose. Through the phone, Chi Zhe could imagine what she looks like now, with raised eyebrows and raised one corner of her mouth, with a look on her face The look of sarcasm.

He laughed out loud, scratched his head, and felt that he would always be a child who would never grow up in front of Chi Ran, always asking such stupid questions.

"Hmph, you're asking such a silly question again, silly brother." Chi Zhe snorted coldly, but there was concern in his tone.

She answered the phone while walking, and now, she happened to be standing in front of the full-length mirror.She calmly looked at the woman inside, with swollen eyeballs, bloodshot eyes, dull complexion, messy hair, and loosely draped school uniform.

A face as stiff as a stone carving, neither sad nor happy.She stretched out two fingers to pinch the tender flesh on her cheek, and pulled it hard, a distorted smile appeared on that face.

It's ugly.

"Or, what do you want me to do again?" Chi Ran's tone was light and cheerful.

"Hehe," Chi Zhe could only smirk again, "Well, sister, can you come back early for my birthday? Well, a week or two will do."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that Dad said he was going to hold a big banquet? He asked me to deliver invitations, and I..." Before he could finish his words, Chi Ran knew what his brother was worrying about?

"That's fine, I'll be back half a month early. By the way, mother, explain to me." As a child prodigy who graduated from university at the age of 19, Qiao Rou still attaches great importance to her daughter's grades.

"No problem." Chi Zhe reassured, patted his chest, and now he can be regarded as a master student, and Qiao Rou is still tolerant to him.

"That's it, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep," Chi Ran yawned, "Goodbye."

"See you."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Ran lay on the bed, his body was resting, but his brain was running at high speed.

Worried about having to deliver invitations in person?If he was really just a good student who stayed on campus since he was a child and kept his ears shut, then it was indeed possible.

However, don’t forget that his ideal is to be a director. Since he was 13 years old, he has been running around with the crew. Every day he comes into contact with different people and things, and sometimes he is forced to face some hidden truths. Dirt and darkness in the depths.

Will he be afraid of meeting strangers?

Of course, it could also be said that he was nervous because it was the first time that he had to send invitations to the hands of big figures in the political and business circles who often appeared on TV.

But he was so nervous that he asked his sister who just finished high school and was far away from other provinces to ask for leave to go home with him?

Guan Qi, who was close to him, went to a local school. If he was afraid, wouldn't it be safer to go to Guan Qi?

rebirth, rebirth...

Chi Ran sighed, will something important happen before that?

I hope he is still the Chi Zhe I know.

I give you all the trust I can have, please give me hope.

Otherwise... I don't know what to do.

My... brother.

Chi Ran turned over, wrapped himself in a blanket, and fell into a deep sleep

39

The next morning, Chi Ran went to school to ask for leave.The leave slips from the Academic Affairs Office were approved very quickly. This is a private school, and it is also a listed company.Since the eldest lady entered school, they have been approached by the principal to have a conversation, and they are very convenient for Chi Ran.

"Thank you." Chi Ran took the note with both hands, bowed slightly to thank him.
