broken sun

Qi Nian has a brother who is two years older than him.

It's not that he and his brother have never met, and it's not that this villa has been miserable and lifeless from beginning to end.

It's just that the memory of that time is too thin, and it's like a plate of loose sand. Any bleak wind blows in these years, and it will be wiped clean, and the flashy and precious things mixed in it will disappear.

Back then when Qi Nian celebrated his third birthday, his elder brother Qi Ming was only five years old.

The Qi family has a big business, and He Yu and Qi Wenzhi had already broken up their relationship at that time, and they slept in different rooms.

But in front of outsiders, the husband and wife are still affectionate and respect each other as guests.Even though more than ten years have passed, the two of them are living their own lives now, and they still have the appetite for marriage.

At Xiao Qi Nian's birthday party that day, they invited relatives and friends from all over the place, neighbors and neighbors, the whole villa was full of people, it seemed crowded, even beggars who heard about it on the way could come in and beg for a drink tea to eat.

Everyone knows that the Qi family's precious youngest son has turned three years old.

Qi Ming lost it that day.

After the drinking party had dispersed and the room was vacant, He Yu planned to take his son to take a bath and sleep, but he searched but found no one.

After rummaging through the entire villa and realizing that Qi Ming was lost, He Yu was devastated.

She had already shed the masked smiling face and gentle and capable face in front of the guests and friends in the daytime, and she just grabbed Qi Wenzhi tightly, scratched the messy folds of the straight suit, and shouted mournfully: "Ming Ming is gone! Your own son is gone! My Mingming...Qi Wenzhi, if my son is lost, I will blame you!"

Veins also popped up on Qi Wenzhi's forehead, and he said anxiously, "I know it's my son! It won't help you, you have to go find it! You call and ask the person who came today, I'll ask the secretary to drive to the Public Security Bureau !"

"Wait!" He Yu's hair was already hanging down, messy, she grabbed the phone, her voice hoarse, "I'll go with you... I'll call on the way!"

For the next two full months, except for Xiao Xiao, who was still ignorant and ignorant, Xiao Qi Nian was taken by Liu Ma, and no one in the family came back.

At that time, Xiao Qi Nian didn't quite understand what was going on. At first, he just wrinkled his face, waved his little arms and cried for his mother, father, and brother.

At first, Mama Liu coaxed him, and when she got tired of coaxing, she threw him on the sofa and let him cry. Anyway, there was no third person at home.

Xiao Qi Nian cried in vain for many days, until his voice became a little hoarse, until he was choked by saliva once, and he seemed to understand.

No matter how loud he shouted, no one would come to hug him and coax him, and no one would shake the little sun to stare at him.

"Young master stopped crying, you're so good, Mom and Dad went to find brother," said Liu Ma, who had a headache and tinnitus from crying for the past few days. Seeing that people were quiet, she just hugged her and stayed on the bed in a daze. Qi Nian wobbled and took him downstairs to the living room for a stroll, sighing, "Young master is so pitiful, why did you just run out and lose it like this, and no one has been found yet, it really can make people die in a hurry."

Mama Liu has been working as a babysitter in the Qi family since Qi Wenzhi was still in the army, and she was always by the side when He Yu gave birth to Qi Ming.

It was Qi Nian, who was brought back by the couple after giving birth at the company in another province.

She came out of the remote mountains to work in the city, and she just felt lucky to have such a good place.

Even though Mama Liu is illiterate, fortunately she is diligent in her hands and feet.She has some old-fashioned and ignorant habits, which are obviously reflected in her titles. It's not surprising that Mrs. and Mrs. are called Mrs. and Mrs., but Liu Ma insists on addressing Qi Ming and Qi Nian as "eldest young master" and "little young master".

At first He Yu even teased her, but she was acquiescing. Later, it sounded good to her ears, and she also yelled from time to time.

Two months later, He Yu came back first.

Only two months old, she looks many years old, with a haggard face and listless spirit.

He Yu called Liu Ma: "Take care of the young master, don't take him out if you have nothing to do in the future, look for the kindergarten nearby."

Liu Ma not only obeyed, but sighed from the bottom of her heart, and quickly responded: "Hey! Hey! Madam, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the young master. Don't worry too much about the young master."

He Yu burst into tears as soon as he heard it.A mother who has lost her child looks more vulnerable than anything else.

Until Qi Nian went to primary school.

After school that day, he watched a group of senior students play football on the spacious playground of the new elementary school, until Liu Ma found him and took him home.

That day He Yu came back in the evening, with a serious expression, and looked fiercely at Qi Nian, then hurried back to the room to grab some things before leaving.

Qi Nian has never seen a smiling mother.

Sitting at the dining table, he saw his mother open the door before leaving, stared outside for a long time, then turned to say something to Liu Ma.

I vaguely heard it was talking about my brother.

Mom has been looking for brother, he knows.They were both busy and sad, and he knew it.

That's why Qi Nian has always been too sensible. Apart from the adult's preaching, the more reason is just trying to get attention by neither crying nor fussing—to snatch a little attention from his brother who is illusory to him.

Or steal.

Like an overly honest thief, he walked on thin ice, thinking anxiously, he doesn't need to be like those little friends in the kindergarten, I just need a little.

It really works well in school, all the teachers like him very much, even tease him on purpose, take care of him more.

But back to the villa, it didn't work.

It was the last sentence that Qi Nian heard clearly that day.

"Don't let Qi Nian run around, I don't have the energy to care about Qi Wenzhi."

He still doesn't know what this sentence means.

It must be some way of running around individually, so that Qi Nian has never been able to step out of the house since then.

Qi Nian stood on the red wood-colored stairs, looking down at everyone, he couldn't see anything else on that face, but it was different from the previous one, colder and more desperate, and even a little bit of grievance.

For a long time, he didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything, so he continued to walk up.

No one was holding on to him anymore, and Qi Wenzhi just turned around and lit a cigarette when he saw him.It's like a child in an ordinary family rushing back to the room after a fight, but it feels weird.

Gu Saming looked at the back, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, He Yu and Qi Wenzhi were going to accompany Gu Saming to go back and have dinner with the "adoptive parents" who raised their son all these years.

Then Gu Saming will go back to the Qi family to live, and even his identity and household registration will have to be transferred.

Qi Nian stood behind the curtains in the corridor on the second floor, his face half-lit and half-dark by the shadows.He watched as He Yu helped Gu Saming's hand out the door, and the three left in a car through the courtyard gate.
