Lofty future

We used to have many days when we hugged and slept together in the small room at No. 16, Guxu Road.

At first, Xiang Meifang prepared a separate room for Chi Xue. He was like a cat settled in a new environment. After confirming that it was safe, he began to patrol and explore the whole house, and finally chose a favorite nest.

It's my room.

I'm 12 years old, half-grown and sentimental. I was moved by his dependence on me, and I felt a sense of responsibility in my heart. Since then, I have taken care of his affairs as my own.

He stayed in my room for five or six years, and the bed was changed from a 1.2-meter single wooden bed to a 1.8-meter large master bedroom as standard.Countless nights, we played and squabbled together and fell asleep together.

At that time, these seemed to be very normal things. Sometimes when I woke up in the middle of the night, I found him holding my waist from behind, and I didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

When the blooming season of youth, when the love first bloomed, I could vaguely feel the affection in his eyes, and it was already a little bit irresistible.

I don't remember if there was a time when I was struggling to find a way to separate from him, but there must have been a time when I didn't feel comfortable hugging him anymore.

And the daring for a while, was pulled into a blank that has spread to this day by the long separation.

It's been too long, so long that I let him hold him in my arms, and I don't know what to do with my arms.The camera is still on, the crew is still there, should I continue pretending to be Gu Bai, or respond to him as Xiang Cheng.

The time was ridiculously slow, maybe only a few seconds actually passed, but it seemed to last for several minutes in my consciousness.

He finally let me go, looked down, didn't look at me, just wiped the corner of his right eye with his thumb, said "sorry" in a deep voice, then gestured to the executive director, and went out by himself.

Chen Zuoda has already got up from the bed, and the makeup artist came to touch up his makeup. He was eating a green apple, and he glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.

This scene has come to an end here, I have already worn out a lot, and I don’t have the heart to think about whether I have to do it again or make up the mirror, so I went out to the balcony to rest.

After a while, Chen Zuoda came over with a smile on his face: "Chengzi, are you okay?"

"It's okay." I looked up and smiled politely, noticed the red marks on his neck, and apologized, "I was too hard just now, didn't I really strangle you?"

"A little bit indeed." Chen Zuoda tilted his neck and joked.

He has an aura of being able to communicate with ease and mastering the rhythm, and it is easy for others to cooperate with his intentions.The joke was over, and the atmosphere became lighter as he wished.

He asked me: "How long have you known Ashue?"

Regarding our relationship, Chi Xue naturally didn't tell outsiders, and only lightly mentioned "I knew each other when I was young" in the crew, and everyone assumed that we were classmates.

I have always followed everyone's imagination and answered: "We have known each other since junior high school."

"Oh." Chen Zuoda nodded, "It's been many years, old friend. You are so talented and good-looking, why didn't he find you earlier?"

"Isn't it all about fate? I'll come when fate comes."

"Fate." Chen Zuoda had two smile lines drawn at the end of his eyes, his eyes were meaningful and straightforward, "Did you guys have a relationship before, or is he trying to cheat on you now?"

"..." I didn't expect him to look at Chi Xue like this, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

According to him, there was a period of time that was definitely not counted, and the unspoken rules did not apply, so I really didn't know how to answer this topic for a while.Fortunately, he continued to speculate on his own.

"But he doesn't look like he wants to sneak into you, so he is sincere to you?"

He was so sure that Chi Xue and I were having trouble with each other, but in fact he wasn't innocent, so I didn't bother to struggle any further, and reluctantly replied: "Maybe." With a wry smile.

"It's strange, you don't seem to be interested in him, and you're not interested in acting, why did you agree to him to act in this drama?"

"Well, for... making money?"

"Hahaha!" Chen Zuoda clapped his hands and laughed, and said "you, you", and after a while, he finished laughing, and his attitude became a little more serious, "Cheng Zi, listen to my uncle's advice, if you really don't mean anything to him, don't provoke him , you don't know him!"

It was the first time that I was told that I didn't understand Chi Xue. I instinctively refused to accept it, but in fact I had to accept it.

Indeed, after so many years, what do I know about him?I don't know him as well as Song Weiran.

After the break, I took a few more shots, and today's highlight is over.

Chi Xue had already recovered, she leaned over the table and looked up at me as if she had nothing to do, with the look of an idol drama actor flirting with a girl: "Where do you want to go? Are you hungry?"

I glanced at him, indifferent to his proposal: "I don't want to go anywhere."

"Then let's go back to the hotel for a date. Do you play games? I bought a game console that can be operated by two people."

There is still such a countermeasure, I am skeptical: "What game?"

"There are everything, retro game consoles, all of which we played when we were young, and they are much more advanced than Song Weiran's back then!"

I don't know what kind of impression that happened in Xia Tian's approach in his memory, anyway, I am a little sensitive when I hear related elements.

The words "Song Weiran's station" fell into my ears, and the eyes that he thought he was hiding at the time, but in fact he could see his thoughts clearly, even the wet and trembling eye waves inside, appeared in my mind.

If Song Weiran knew that I had this kind of mental activity, he would definitely say that I am not straight.

But I know that no matter how much I care about Chi Xue, it's only because I love this family and brother, and it has nothing to do with the kind of relationship he wants.

Chen Zuoda was right in warning, I shouldn't provoke him.Even if it was provoked by default, it would be unfair.

"No, I haven't been home for a few days. I want to go home."

"Then I'll go home with you. I haven't even been to the place where you live."

"Chi Xue, I mean, I don't want to be with you..."

"Hey, wait a minute, Weiran's WeChat is back." He pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket, stood up and lowered his eyes to avoid my gaze, and after a while, he really opened the WeChat dialog box for me to see.

He had already contacted Song Weiran and asked if he would like to have dinner together in the early morning.Song Weiran naturally said yes, and offered to propose a few location options, and he directly asked, "Is it okay at home?"

"Yes, of course!"

Damn, Song Weiran, you are so worthless.

I pushed away his mobile phone screen: "When did you add friends?"

"She was like my own sister when she was a child, of course I have to add it. The world is so big, I only have you and two relatives."

I found out that when he is not acting melancholy and hypocritical, he will act dead skinned.Maybe it's because there are too many routines. Comparing the two, I actually think the latter is cuter.Obviously both are treacherous and cunning.

That's all, you don't have to make a fuss about being kind to others.

When they got home, Song Weiran and Jasmine were both there, the dining table was full of dishes, and the smell of chicken soup was still wafting from the kitchen.When Jasmine heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately came out to greet me and rushed into my arms.

"A Cheng!"

A family has a treasure that can solve all worries.Whenever I receive Jasmine's full-hearted trust and warm welcome, I can understand why some people still have children knowing that raising children is not easy.

"Long time no see, do you miss me?" I picked her up with one hand and walked to the dining table.

Song Weiran just came out of the kitchen, saw us and said "Oh, Song Moli, what are you doing" as usual, and then changed into a bright and somewhat contrived smiling face to meet Chi Xue.

"Well, you guys arrived just in time, you can have dinner. I don't know if your taste has changed, but the ones you chose are all your favorites when you were young...Song Moli, wash your hands first!"

The volume suddenly increased after the sound of drinking, and Jasmine's sloping body quickly retracted, her two thin arms wrapped around my neck, and she looked at Chi Xue and Song Weiran.

I don't know if she made a face, but Song Weiran let out a sigh of relief, and glared at me: "Why do you always spoil her, you spoil her!"

"Did you hear, Aunt Jasmine?" I pretended to cooperate and grabbed Jasmine's hand, "Come on, let's wash our hands."

Jasmine smiled and buried her head in the crook of my neck.I don't even need to look to know that she is secretly looking at Chi Xue.

The little guy can be regarded as independent and sensible, but because of his previous living environment and experience, he is always a little afraid of strange adults.Even though she had already been in contact with Chi Xue, she would still be vigilant.

This is a good thing.

While washing my hands, I whispered to her about Chi Xue's identity——my mother and uncle's friend, you can tell that she's not a bad person, right?You can call and say hello to him later.

"I see!" Jasmine nodded seriously.

Back in the restaurant, Jasmine sat down in her exclusive seat, and called Chi Xue seriously from half a table away: "Uncle Chi, hello, my name is Song Moli, you can call me Jasmine."

Hearing the sound, Chi Xue turned her head and looked over, her expression a bit dazed.That look looks like...

Just like the first day he officially joined our family, he bought a cake from Meifang and came back with a smile and said, "From now on, you can call me mom, or it doesn't matter if you want to call me any other name."

It's exactly the same, even looking for my line of sight when I'm at a loss for a second.

But after all, he is an adult, and such a gaffe only flashed by him.He recovered and walked over with a smile, and sat down next to me, facing Jasmine.

"My name is Chi Xue, you can call me Chi Xue, or you can call me Second Uncle." After finishing speaking, she winked at me, "I'll let you be my elder brother this time."

This is an old problem between us.He fell into a life of vagrancy and begging prematurely, and he didn't remember where he came from, let alone his birthday, only the year.

He didn't want to be a younger brother, so when he went through the formalities, the date of my birthday was filled in the day before me.What actually happened may never be known.

Now it's time to behave well, but it's full of messy routines.

I shrugged and said, "Just as you please."

He also looked really happy, although his face was reserved as much as possible, but it was like a piece of paper pasted on a flat surface, there was always a gap for the air inside to leak out.

For the rest of the night, he was so cautiously happy.
