broken sun

Getting out of the car, Gu Saming stepped up the steps one step ahead, Qi Nian walked and didn't follow, he slowed down, stopped in his steps, and looked straight at the place on the left side of the villa where the shadows of the trees were dancing.

Qi Nian has lived here for 16 years, growing up with them.

But he doesn't understand everything outside the villa, whether it's close at hand, the garden where you can see butterflies flying by, or a corner of the world far away in the sky.

Qi Nian even needs to get used to the large area of ​​sunlight. The sunlight is fierce and direct, and casts on all living beings without hesitation, but when it shines on Qi Nian, it comes a bit late, making Qi Nian accustomed to the dark body and mind to be late in facing the sun. Consolation, there will be rejection.

In comparison, that's pretty good, Qi Nian thinks so.

If Qi Nian is the most ordinary person, he should be very prioritized, and he should also be a high school student who is determined to move forward, has a clear goal, is beautiful, outstanding, or even a little bit expensive, and a son of a rich family.

Putting it on the real Qi Nian, he would only be lonely and courageous, falling into and chasing misty nightmares or sweet dreams regardless of the cost, which can be regarded as being harsh on himself-the "meaning of life" has never existed in him in the past 16 years so far status.

He is now like a person who is already addicted. This addiction is like many people's childhood, as if they have returned to the childhood days when they were frantically begging for sugar, so that they were addicted to sugar.

Qi Nian got close to his elder brother because he hated Qi Ming, but now Gu Saming, the elder brother, has long been separated from the empty shell of "Qi Ming" in his heart, and gradually separated.

Qi Nian even wondered for a moment, did he have two older brothers?

In fact, Qi Nian is not very interested in everything he doesn't know, but at this moment, he can't help but want to see it.

He changed direction silently and walked towards the garden on the left.

Qi Nian left from the stone road, stepped into the soft grass, and followed the swaggering and twisting vines to the side of the villa.

As soon as he looked up, he could see Gu Saming's room - the bright and clean spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, slightly past the reflective area, and a beautiful standing lamp inside on the side, Qi Nian also knew that there was a carpet under it, and it wouldn't come until winter There is also a fireplace with a fire on one side.

Qi Nian changed the direction he was facing, looking closely at the green and swaying branches without any barriers, the vibrant roses were planted on both sides of the winding path, and there were two lonely swings in the middle of the lawn in the distance.

Qi Nian is aware of these things, but has no specific feelings.

Maybe it's because he's a little short, or maybe it's not dark yet, but standing here, Qi Nian thinks it's nothing more than that.

The sound of hasty footsteps on the grass was getting closer and closer, Qi Nian turned his head, his eyes became dull instantly, looking at Liu Ma who was hurriedly walking towards him.

Just as Liu Ma saw him from the window of the living room, she ran out without even taking off her apron, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and shouted in a low voice: "It's time for dinner and you're still running around, I'll let the wife and the young master Wait for you!"

Qi Nian hadn't faced Liu Ma directly for a long time, and he had come here like this for more than ten years, but now he couldn't get used to it at all.

Qi Nian just wanted to withdraw his hand recklessly, and break free from that rough hand covered with thick calluses.

But the manpower who is used to all kinds of work is as big as an ox. Qi Nian's body was tense and was dragged by Liu Ma for a few steps, and he had to use his strength to absorb oxygen.

When he saw Gu Saming's tall and slender figure appearing on the side steps of the villa, Qi Nian forgot that he was being roughly dragged, his heartbeat and breathing stopped for a second, and suddenly there was an inexplicable, bright, unknown Things swelled in the narrow chest cavity.

Qi Nian blinked, looking at Gu Saming in the afterglow of the orange-red sunset, as if wanting to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the vision.

Gu Saming frowned slightly, and walked over steadily. He looked directly at Mama Liu from top to bottom, and called out indifferently and politely: "Sister-in-law Liu."

Liu Ma suddenly became half shorter, and Gu Saming was too tall, standing in front of her felt oppressive, and the "little adult" who grew up as a kid when he was a child has lost his childishness after so many years of growing up, and his aura is even colder.

A sneer appeared on Liu Ma's face, and she said nervously, "Hey, young master...hey..."

Qi Nian's hand was still held by Liu Ma, he lowered his eyes when Gu Saming was about to approach, looking at the lush green land.

Gu Saming directly pulled Qi Nian's arm held by Liu Ma, with unquestionable toughness.His slender arm was brought to Gu Saming's side, but the other force did not dare to hold on, Mama Liu let go of her hand winkingly, and stepped aside obediently.

Qi Nian was led out of the lawn by Gu Saming, his heart was beating heavily with the sound of "squeak" under Gu Saming's feet, until he sat on the dining table, Qi Nian was still floating in his soul and his whole body was slightly tense.

Today, He Yu had to deal with temporary matters in the company, so he forgot the time and did not go downstairs in advance.

When she came down from upstairs, she saw Liu Ma coming in from the door for the first time, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Mama Liu was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head quickly: "Madam, it's time to eat."

It was only then that He Yu realized that they were home from school. He Yu walked over and saw Gu Saming holding a pair of chopsticks and placing them next to Qi Nian's bowl. She was stunned for a second, and then smiled and said, "Are you on vacation? Let's eat first." .”

Mama Liu finished the last dish of soup and left the restaurant while rubbing her bib shabbyly.

Every day at the dining table is the place where the family can really meet and talk, and it is also the most anticipated time of the day—specifically, it only includes He Yu and Gu Saming.

"Don't stay up too late studying in the future," He Yu regained her motherhood that she was forced to lose back then, and began to nag Gu Saming unconsciously, "Tell Mom if you need anything, in fact, if the school is changed to a private one, it will always go to the same school. In the future, students who can be seen and used..."

Seeing that Gu Saming didn't respond, He Yu immediately said, "Don't worry about these things. It's fine in the No. [-] Middle School, after all, it's the key point of the city." She scooped up a bowl of soup and put it next to Gu Saming, and hurriedly changed her tongue: " Now it’s good to finish high school with peace of mind.”

Gu Saming didn't take He Yu's face off, and took a sip of the soup directly.

Putting down the porcelain spoon and bowl, Gu Saming didn't continue to use the chopsticks, he took the clean empty bowl next to him, filled another bowl of soup, and placed it by Qi Nian's hand.

Gu Saming's extending and retracting hand swayed in Qi Nian's field of vision. The blood vessels on the back of that hand were obvious, the knuckles were slender, and the temperature was high, containing strength. Qi Nian had really felt it just now.

But at this moment Qi Nian was so surprised that he rolled his eyes, looked at Gu Saming, then glanced at He Yu, holding two chopsticks in his hand and did not move.

He wants to drink.

But He Yu's expression and eyes when facing him never let him take a breather.Once He Yu opened his mouth to talk to him, it was a sign that Qi Nian would start having nightmares that night.

So the last bowl of soup should be in Qi Nian's eyes, want to touch it but dare not touch it, Qi Nian put down his chopsticks overwhelmed, he kept his eyes down, didn't forget to take his schoolbag when he turned around, and fled the scene hastily.

Gu Saming paused before continuing to eat. When He Yu concealed his embarrassment and planned to just pass by, he said: "Qi Nian, is he mother's son?"

In the dining room where only their mother and son were left, the silence was a little too much.

This short sentence contains too much information for He Yu, like a thunderbolt thrown into his ear, which makes He Yu float up and down for so many years. Also completely silent.

The weather was still hot, and the air-conditioning in the living room of the villa was properly turned on. He Yu's hands were a little unsteady. She gathered the brown silk shawl on her shoulders, and opened the corners of her froze mouth: "Why do you ask that?"

He Yu didn't dare to ask Gu Saming if he called her mother just now, so he could only use Tai Chi to ask back the main question about Qi Nian.

"It's nothing," Gu Saming smiled, as if to appease He Yu who was overreacting, and explained unhurriedly, "I just think you don't like him very much."

Gu Saming made a slightly confused and questioning look.

He Yu opened her mouth, stroked the tassels on her shawl with her hands, and sighed silently.She returned to normal, and smiled helplessly: "You also know what kind of personality your brother is, and he is used to being withdrawn. I have been busy with the company in order to find you these years, and I often get into trouble. Qi Nian doesn't kiss him I can't communicate at all, and no one can do anything about him."

Gu Saming listened calmly, did not express any opinion, and silently accepted the answer.

After He Yu finished speaking, he stroked his temple hair, fiddled with his chopsticks, put a piece of chicken into Gu Saming's bowl, and asked him to eat more.
