That year, Qin Tian was only five years old, his father remarried, and the new mother married his father with a younger sister.From then on, the originally deserted home was full of joy and laughter, but all of this had nothing to do with him.

Because when the father is there, the new mother is very kind to him, but when the father is not there, the new mother is only good to the younger sister. If the younger sister snatches his toy and he does not give it to him, the younger sister will cry loudly. At this time, the new mother He would come over angrily and snatch his toys for his younger sister to play with.

Qin Tian knew that he still didn't have a mother, and the only one who treated him well in this family was Liu Ma.

Then one day, when he went out with his sister named Lin Wanwan, he was kidnapped and locked in a small dark room. From then on, he was afraid of staying alone in a closed space.

It was also after that that his grandfather took him to his side, and he lived with him. He still has a vague memory of the kidnapping, but he still remembered that when a person was locked up in a small dark room, he heard the sister call "Dad" voice.

Qin Tian understood that even if he told his father, his father would not believe what he said, so he just told Liu Ma about it, but Liu Ma just told him not to say it in his heart, and be careful about that sister named Lin Wanwan , don't go out with the other party anymore.

Qin Tian firmly remembered Liu Ma's words in his heart. He knew that Liu Ma was doing it for his own benefit, but sometimes, he was forced to play with that little sister named Lin Wanwan, because everyone liked her. If you act like a baby, the adults will follow her, even if you don't want to, you still have to listen to your father, just like him in the banquet hall at this time.

"Brother Xiaotian, take me to play in the garden, it's so big, I'm scared by myself!" Lin Wanwan was wearing a white princess dress, with a small crown-shaped hairpin pinned to her hair, and was pulling Qin Tian's sleeve, looked at Qin Tian with a sweet smile, and asked coquettishly.

Qin Tian followed the place pointed by the other party's hand, looked out through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the garden at night was dotted with the dim light of floor lamps, it looked quite quiet, and children could be seen faintly in the garden Running back and forth, the sound of happy laughter came into his ears at the same time. Qin Tian knew that the other party wanted to go out and play with those children, but he didn't want to. He liked to stay in this brightly lit room like daytime. Make him feel at ease.

Holding a fork, Qin Tian inserted a small piece of cake from the tray in his hand and put it into his mouth. Feeling the sweetness of the milk, he was in a good mood, and refused:

"I won't go, you can go by yourself."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she rolled her round eyes and pouted her lips, but she didn't give up on wanting Qin Tian to take her out to play, but instead came to Qin Zhennan's side and said the same words to Qin Zhennan:

"Dad, can you take me to the garden to play, it's so big here, I'm scared by myself."

Qin Zhennan, who was having a good conversation with other people, was interrupted by this, and just about to get angry, when he lowered his head and saw that it was Lin Wanwan, he instantly regained his composure, patted Lin Wanwan's head lovingly, and said with a smile:

"Wanwan, be good, let your brother take you out to play, dad is busy."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she immediately said sadly: "But my brother didn't want to take me out to play, he asked me to come to my father, and I told him that my father is very busy."

When Qin Zhennan heard this, he looked towards where Qin Tian was standing, and saw that the other party was eating a cake very leisurely, his brows were tightly frowned, and he said "Let's talk later" with the person who was talking to him, and he held onto his hand. Lin Wanwan walked towards where Qin Tian was.

When he was in front of Qin Tian, ​​without saying a word, he pushed Lin Wanwan in front of Qin Tian, ​​and ordered: "Xiao Tian, ​​how do you take care of your sister, take your sister out to play, watch carefully, don't lose it!" .”

It doesn't matter whether Xiao Qin Tian agrees or not, after finishing speaking, he turns around and leaves.

"Brother Xiaotian, take me out to play! Let's go." A successful smile flashed in Lin Wanwan's eyes, and she pulled Qin Tian out.

Qin Tian couldn't help it, thinking of what Qin Zhennan said, he could only reluctantly follow Lin Wanwan out of the banquet hall to the dark garden.

In Qin Tian's eyes, the dark night sky was like a huge pot cover covering his garden, and the light from the floor lamp was not enough to dispel the darkness for Qin Tian at this moment.Lin Wanwan trotted all the way towards those playful children, Qin Tian had no choice but to suppress the discomfort in his heart, and followed behind Lin Wanwan.

"What are you playing, my brother and I want to play too." Lin Wanwan's appearance immediately attracted the curiosity of many children, and they ran to Lin Wanwan's side one after another, smiling and saying:

"We're playing peek-a-boo, little sister, come play with us!"

"Well, peek-a-boo, let's hide from the beginning of the shouting, to see who is the most powerful, and we will not be found."

"I'm the best at hide and seek."

"It's me, it's me, I'm the best at hide and seek."

......

Listening to the people talking about the game of peek-a-boo, Qin Tian frowned slightly. He instinctively repelled him and didn't want to play this game. If he could, he wanted to leave here.But Lin Wanwan seemed to know what he was thinking, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said to the children around her in a showy tone:

"My brother is the best at hide-and-seek. You can't find him when he hides."

"Bragging, I'm the one who knows how to hide and seek."

"It's me, it's me, you can't find me if I hide."

"Then Bibi, you said your brother can hide and seek, so I'll look for it and let your brother hide it, and see if I can find it."

One of the children closed his eyes immediately after speaking, turned around, and said loudly, "Start." As soon as the words came out, all the children scattered and began to look for hiding places.

Qin Tian didn't want to participate, just stood there motionless, but Lin Wanwan pulled him vigorously, and ran towards the depths of the garden, surrounded by darkness, Qin Tian struggled to shake off Lin Wanwan's hand, and said in refusal :

"I didn't want to play hide-and-seek. If you want to play, you can play by yourself."

Seeing Qin Tian's resolute attitude, Lin Wanwan stretched out a finger aggrievedly and said, "I'm blown away, brother Xiaotian, you are the best, just hide it once and don't let them find you, okay?"

"Not good." Qin Tian was resolute, looking at the pitch-black surroundings, he didn't know where he was taken to the garden, it looked more like a room.Under such an environment, his heart began to panic, feeling inexplicable fear, and he just wanted to escape here as soon as possible.

Just about to push Lin Wanwan away who was blocking her, but she didn't want to be pushed hard by Lin Wanwan, and she fell into the room.

With the sound of closing the door, Lin Wanwan's savage voice came into Qin Tian's ears from outside the door: "Brother Xiaotian, you should hide here well so that they can't find you. I'll come to you later, or I Tell Dad, you won't play with me."

Qin Tian slowly stood up from the ground. At this time, the whole room was dark with no light at all. He touched something. With a "bang", Qin Tian felt his hand being pricked by something. Once touched, it hurts.

At that moment, I stood there even more frightened, not daring to move, staring wide-eyed and looking around, trying to see everything around me clearly, while silently saying "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, there are no ghosts, there are no ghosts."

Qin Tian clearly knew that the door was not far away. Perhaps the door was not locked. As long as he boldly walked over and opened the door, he could escape from this place that terrified him, but his feet seemed to be trapped by the ground. The hand protruding from below was tightly grasped, preventing him from moving an inch.

Qin Tian gulped in the oxygen in the air, but he still felt uncomfortable as if he was suffocating, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into a dark abyss, even though he struggled, he couldn't climb up.

The whole person was about to be engulfed by fear. I don't know how long it took, until Qin Tian felt that he was going to die, but he still couldn't take a step. He only felt his legs and feet go limp, and he sat on the ground with a "slap".

With this movement, Qin Tian's tense string was completely broken. Finally, he couldn't bear the torment of fear, and began to cry. Tears rolled down his cheeks, but he didn't remember to wipe them. The only thought in his mind was to want to Someone can take himself out of here.

"pat"

A slight sound came into Qin Tian's ears, causing Qin Tian to stop crying and opened his closed eyes to look at the source of the sound, only to see that the whole room was illuminated by the light as if it were daytime, and at the half-opened place of the door, there was a Standing was a boy who was about a little younger than himself, with the dark night behind him.

Seeing that the other party was looking at him curiously with those big black eyes, Qin Tian hurriedly wiped away the tears in his eyes, and just wanted to "thank you" the other party, but the first sentence he uttered was:

"Big brother, I found you!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian also remembered that he was dragged by Lin Wanwan to participate in this hide-and-seek game. Looking around, he found that he was pushed into a flower room by Lin Wanwan, and the broken porcelain basin on the ground and The cactus on the ground also made him understand that what he touched before was a flower pot on a shelf, and his hand was pricked by a cactus.

Just as Qin Tian wanted to explain the broken flowerpot on the ground, he saw the little boy closing the door and walking towards him.

"Big brother is crying, so it turns out that big brother is afraid of the dark." The little boy pointed at Qin Tian's face with his finger, and smiled mischievously because he had discovered the other party's weakness:

"But I won't tell anyone else, including your sister."

"Thank you." Qin Tian sincerely thanked him, not for what the other party said, but for the other party's ability to find him and let him escape from the darkness of fear.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Me?" The little boy didn't expect Qin Tian to thank him, and blushed a little embarrassedly, and said shyly, "My name is Su An."

"What's your name, big brother?"

"My name is Qin Tian."

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​why are you so afraid of the dark and hide and seek with everyone?" Su An approached Qin Tian, ​​his eyes full of doubt and curiosity.

Thinking of what the other party's sister said to other people, I felt that the other party was lying. How could the big brother who is so afraid of the dark be a master at playing peek-a-boo, crying while hiding here.

Qin Tian didn't expect Su An to ask him like this, and the moment he looked at Su An, he couldn't help expressing the grievance in his heart: "I don't want to play, she is the one who dragged me here, and she also made me a People are locked here."

Knowing that he was afraid of the dark, but still doing this, that Lin Wanwan really did what Liu Ma said, and did not regard him as an elder brother.

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​go back and tell your parents to teach her a lesson." Su An waved his small fists in a gesture of beating someone. If he had a younger sister and his sister treated him like this, he would definitely beat her up.

Qin Tian shook his head, lowered his head, and said softly: "No, Dad likes the new mother and this younger sister, so he won't believe what I say."

That's why the other party dared to threaten him to hide here even if he was afraid, otherwise he would tell his father that he bullied her.

When Su An heard Qin Tian's words, he seemed to understand the meaning in Qin Tian's words, and wanted to pull Qin Tian's hand to comfort him, but he didn't want to touch him, so he heard a "hiss" in pain.

Qin Tian retracted his hand, the other's touch just touched the place where the cactus pierced into the flesh of his palm, which made him feel very painful. When he looked down, he realized that it was far worse than what he felt in the dark. A thorn, but a large group of tiny thorns like vellus hairs pierced into the flesh, and it hurts when touched lightly.

Su An carefully took Qin Tian's hand, and clearly saw the cactus thorns on Qin Tian's palm through the bright light in the greenhouse, and exclaimed:

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​your hand was stabbed, how painful it must be."

Qin Tian looked down at Su An who was staring at his palm earnestly in front of him. His face was wrinkled and his eyes were full of anxiety.For some reason, Qin Tian, ​​who didn't want the other party to worry, pulled his hand out of the other party's hand, hid behind his back and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt, just let Mama Liu pick it out for me when I go back."

But Su An, who heard the other party say this, was not happy. He had to let the thorn stay in his hand for a long time to listen to the other party's meaning, how painful it would be!Stubbornly pulling Qin Tian's hand away from the palm, he led him towards the depths of the greenhouse.He didn't stop until he reached the end and faced a wall.

Qin Tian saw that the other party pushed the "wall" away, but Su An easily pushed away the wall that was originally painted with patterns of flowers. The darkness inside made Qin Tian a little hesitant.

The feeling of fear and suffocation that had dissipated before swept Qin Tian's body, and he resisted trying to break free from the warm and soft palm of the other party. Qin Tian stood at the door, refusing to enter in his heart.

Su An tilted his head to look at Qin Tian. In his eyes, because of the light from the greenhouse, he could still see everything in the room clearly. However, the lights in the room can only be turned on after entering. Su An said thoughtfully:

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​wait for me here, I'll turn on the light, don't leave secretly."

Su An let go, ran into the room very quickly, turned on the lamp on the workbench, then ran back to Qin Tian, ​​looked at Qin Tian with a smile:

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​now, you won't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, he still carefully held Qin Tian's hand and led Qin □□ to the studio inside the secret door.It wasn't until he led Qin Tian to the chair on the workbench that he ran to the door of the secret door and pressed the switch on the flower wall, and the whole flower room was plunged into darkness again in an instant.

After closing the secret door, Su An walked back in front of Qin Tian, ​​climbed onto the stool, stood on tiptoe, pulled down the desk lamp on the workbench and pointed it at where Qin Tian was sitting.

Seeing that Su An's movements were so dangerous, Qin Tian couldn't help feeling worried, he hurriedly supported Su An's body with his hands, and said anxiously, "Be careful."

"Don't be afraid, I'm used to crawling." Su An mischievously said this, then sat back on the chair, then skillfully picked up a pair of tiny tweezers from the workbench, pointed it at the light, and planned to take the tweezers in Qin Tian's palm. Those furry thorns are all □□.

While preparing to make a move, he also carefully instructed: "My eyesight is fine, it only hurts a little, and I will pull out the thorn with you in one fell swoop."

"I'm not afraid of pain, you can pull it out." Looking at Su An who loves him so much, Qin Tian touched Su An's little head with his hands. How long has it been since, besides Liu Ma at home, will anyone care whether he hurts or not? , cared about what he was afraid of.

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​the nose of a liar will grow longer. You are not an iron man, so how can you not be afraid of pain? I used to get stabbed by a cactus when I often came to play in this greenhouse. This is how my grandmother picked out the thorns with me. .”

As soon as the words fell, Su An carefully picked out a small thorn in Qin Tian's hand with tweezers, and waved it in front of Qin Tian in a showy manner:

"Look, it's coming out."

"Well, thank you."

Qin Tian looked at such a lively Su An, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the orange light shone on Su An's body, even though there was a large darkness projected behind him, facing the darkness at this time, in this not-so-large studio , Qin Tian is no longer fear and fear, but a kind of peace of mind.

Time passed little by little, and the thorn in Qin Tian's hand was almost pulled out by Su An. When the last small thorn was pulled out, Su An breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Tian:

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​be careful next time."

Qin Tian shook the palm of his hand, and indeed he didn't feel any pain at all, including the few fingers on his fingers, all of which were pulled out:

"Well. Thank you, Ann."

Su An was about to talk to Qin Tian, ​​but he heard a noisy voice coming from outside the door. He vigilantly said a "shh" to Qin Tian, ​​and then quickly pressed the switch of the desk lamp. The whole room was plunged into darkness.

Careful Su An took Qin Tian's hand, walked towards the door, and gently fastened the door to prevent outsiders from accidentally pushing the door open.

Standing on tiptoe, Su An whispered in Qin Tian's ear: "Brother Qin Tian, ​​if you hold my hand, you won't be afraid. I'll be here with you."

After saying this, Su An, after making sure that Qin Tian was not afraid to cry, put his ear on the door and listened to the movement outside the greenhouse.

In the dark, Qin Tian couldn't see Su An clearly, but through the continuous temperature in his hands, he inexplicably dispelled the panic and fear that came from the darkness for a moment, and he would no longer think about it, and all his attention was focused on this on hand.

Small and warm, just like the feeling Su An brought him, and his person, just like his name, made him feel at ease.

Slowly groping forward, the other hand touched the wall, almost holding Su An in his arms, just like Su An, with his ears pressed against the door, listening to the sound outside the door.

"Sister Wanwan, didn't you say that your brother is hiding here? Why is there no one? Did you lie to us? You don't know where your brother is hiding?"

A group of children followed Lin Wanwan to the greenhouse. When the light in the greenhouse was turned on by one of the children, no one was seen under the bright light, which made the group unhappy.

Lin Wanwan looked at the empty greenhouse in front of her, the complacency in her eyes faded away, she looked around in the greenhouse, but she didn't see the scene she thought it was.

She knew that Qin Tian suffered from claustrophobia, and this time she deliberately designed Qin Tian to hide in this dark room, just to bring a group of children to see his timid appearance. He will be made fun of by this group of children, and the title of "coward" will definitely fall on the other party's head and will never be taken off.

Her mother said that as long as the other party is worse, her father will treat her better, and she will be the little princess of the Qin family forever.

"Impossible, I clearly saw my brother hiding here."

"Hmph, liar, lie to us, and stop playing with you." A child felt bored and walked away.

"I won't play peek-a-boo with you anymore. It's boring. Let's go."

The one who said this was obviously the child king of this group of children, that is, the boy who wanted to compete with Qin Tian in hide-and-seek. As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding children left the greenhouse in a hurry, and only Lin Wanwan was left. A person stayed in the greenhouse for a long time in a daze, and then left unwillingly.

Listening to the conversation outside the door, how could Qin Tian, ​​who is as smart as him, not understand Lin Wanwan's intentions, let himself hide in a dark room, but led this group of people here again, just to see himself laughing.

If it weren't for An An in front of him, I'm afraid the other party would have really got what he wanted.Thinking of this, Qin Tian hugged Su An tightly from behind, and said softly: "Thank you."

"Okay, they're gone, I'll take you out, but you can't turn on the lights in the flower room anymore! You won't be afraid of the dark if you hold me."

Su An gently pushed Qin Tian to let the other party let go of himself. He understood the other party's fear, but if he turned on the light in the greenhouse at this time, other people would see it. This game of hide-and-seek would be over , he hasn't played enough yet.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore."

Qin Tian said softly, even though he is now in the darkness, Qin Tian no longer feels afraid, the person in front of him is like a light in the darkness, dispelling the fear in the darkness for him.

It turns out that there are also people who, for no reason, give him kindness...
