broken sun

After Qi Nian got into Uncle Ji's car and left, Gu Saming turned around and went to the parking space to drive, and called Gu's mother.

This time the place to eat was decided by Gu's family, a Chinese restaurant, but it looked more upscale than the previous restaurant when the family only went out to eat on weekends, obviously it was not their usual choice.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was not bad. Originally, according to the usual habit of getting closer, Gu Saming was asked to have two drinks with Gu's father, but today Gu Saming politely refused, saying that he came by car and had something to do later.

The dishes were ready in a short time, so Mother Gu couldn't help asking about her health and how she was doing. Even though the answers she got were the same as before, she still felt relieved.

It's just that the reality pops up before her eyes every time, and there is a gap between her words and demeanor. Gu Saming has already become someone else's son. What she sees is that Gu Saming not only has a prominent family background, but also holds the power in her own hands in the blink of an eye. unlimited.

Talking about Gu Saqing’s internship at Qi’s during the winter vacation, Gu’s mother said with a smile: “This time, Saqing complained that he was tired when he came back every day, saying that he was gradually doing more things and always working overtime, but he was also happy. , It is indeed still the age to learn things."

Gu Saming took food for Gu's mother, and said casually: "Interns should only recruit seniors or graduate students, but I don't know about the departments below. For Sa Qing, it should be a little harder."

"Really..." Gu's mother put the bamboo fungus in the bowl into her mouth, chewed slowly, and swallowed, "Actually, your father and I have no other hopes, I just hope that you are all well. Your leaving has dealt a great blow to your brother, now Sa Qing is sensible, but her relationship has not changed, and she still regards you as her own brother."

The tea was poured into the ceramic cup, and it made a little noise when it hit the wall of the cup. It gradually became full. Gu Saming put down the teapot and said, "Of course."

"Sa Ming, you know a lot. You have always had your own opinions since you were a child. Sa Qing has always listened to you, and sometimes you have to give me advice."

Seeing this, Father Gu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, Sam Ming, let's eat."

"Sa Qing is still in school, of course you can talk to me if you have any confusion or difficulties," Gu Saming smiled, and said it's okay, "But like you said, he is not a child anymore, and he may be more willing to solve many things by himself."

He paused for a moment: "Mom, you should let him choose the path he wants to take in the future. Sometimes taking shortcuts is not necessarily a good thing."

In the middle, Gu Saming went to the bathroom and met the waiter standing outside the private room, so he bought the order in advance.

After the meal, Gu Saming and Gu's father and mother bid farewell at the entrance of the restaurant, looking hurried.

He went straight to pick up Qi Nian according to the address.

Qi Nian replied to his message 5 minutes ago, saying that there should be a while, so that he doesn't have to rush over, and then took the initiative to explain that he was sitting next to his father, far away from Pei Yi.

Gu Saming sneered and only said that he knew.

Within 10 minutes, Gu Saming turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the entrance of the hotel, and stopped in the parking area.

When Qi Nian received the call, only Qi Wenzhi and Pei Guoxiang were eating and chatting in the private room. Pei Yi left because of something in the company, and Pei Yi just got up and said to go to the bathroom.

He first looked at the two elders on the table, then took out his mobile phone and looked down, quickly pressed the call button and put it to his ear, and said in a breathless voice, "Hello, brother."

Qi Wenzhi noticed Qi Nian's movement, and the chopsticks that had just been stretched out slowly retreated.

"...It's in Room [-] on the second floor," Qi Nian said as he stood up, "Shall I come out now?"

"Xiao Nian," Qi Wenzhi said at this moment, "Your brother called?"

Qi Nian suddenly suppressed his voice, raised his eyes, moved away from the side of his face with his hands on the phone, and responded with a stuttering sound.

Qi Wenzhi reached out to him and said, "Give me the phone, and I'll have a word with him."

"dad......"

"Dad, just say a few words to your brother."

Qi Wenzhi's expression was calm, as if he really just said something in passing, Qi Nian hesitated for a few seconds, and handed over the phone.

After receiving the mobile phone, Qi Wenzhi leaned back in the chair, put the vegetables into the bowl again with his right hand, and asked Gu Saming straight to the point: "I didn't go to the company today, are you really planning to take a vacation?"

Gu Saming stepped out of the elevator. Room No. [-] was on the left behind the screen. Gu Saming didn't go in, but stood at the window next to the corridor.

"The chairman asked me to rest for a few days, of course it's better to rest," he said neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm here to pick up Qi Nian, there's no other purpose."

In the private room, Qi Nian looked at Qi Wenzhi anxiously, and couldn't help but took a small step forward.

"We'll talk when it's over." Qi Wenzhi really said a few words, but hung up the phone directly, and then said to Qi Nian: "Xiao Nian, sit down first."

Pei Guoxiang was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and said with a smile: "What do you do with the children, let them go. Yiyi even yelled at me to see her friends again after dinner. I am in a hurry. We have eaten, so let's chat Just chat, don't waste their time."

Someone came forward to be a peacemaker, and Qi Wenzhi saw Qi Nian looking at him eagerly, sighed inwardly, frowned, and let go: "Go ahead, tell your brother to drive slower," he added sharply, "Don't give I mess around."

Qi Nianru was pardoned, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Dad," then nodded to Father Pei, "I'm sorry, Uncle Pei, I'm leaving first."

"go Go."

When Qi Nian pushed the door to go out, Qi Wenzhi shook his head, laughed unbearably, and resumed his usual explanation: "This one just returned to China and hasn't been back for six years. He has been his brother's follower since he was a child, and he stopped for more than ten years. It’s still like this now.”

"Brothers and sisters have a good relationship, let's burn incense, Lao Qi," Pei Guoxiang said, "It's true that we get together to cover each other, and there are many tricks, but it's better than fighting openly and covertly, especially like you here, where the elder brother loves the younger sister relatively more. They are all sons, but I haven’t heard of many Ansheng’s.”

Qi Wenzhi took a sip of tea, it was bitter, he smiled helplessly: "It's rare to be safe."

Qi Nian calmly followed Gu Saming all the way to the car, once the door was locked, he dared to stick to it, his eyes squinted with joy, and he stared at his brother motionlessly.

"So happy," Gu Saming rubbed the back of his head, "Someone will see it later."

"No." They didn't do anything anyway.

As Qi Nian spoke, he still straightened his upper body, but secretly stuffed his hand into Gu Saming's palm.

Gu Saming asked, "Why did it end so soon?"

"Uncle Pei persuaded Dad a few words, and then let me out."

Qi Nian thought seriously for a while, knowing that it shouldn't be so simple, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it worth saving..."

The vehicle in front was about to turn around, Gu Saming squeezed his hand, went to hold the steering wheel, and said, "Go to Lujinxing City to pack your things first, do you want to go to the city center?"

Qi Nian replied: "No, I just stayed there temporarily for a few days."

Gu Saming answered: "I couldn't sleep for a few days."

"It was fine yesterday."

Gu Saming glanced at him, looked straight ahead at the road ahead, and asked nonchalantly, "Did it hurt at the end yesterday?"

Qi Nianwo sat in the passenger seat and said in a muffled voice, "A little bit."

"now what?"

Oh my god, Qi Nian subconsciously pinched his legs when he heard the words, and immediately became depressed: "It's fine now."

Gu Saming smiled, took advantage of the red light to touch his face, and said, "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable, don't hide it."

Qi Nian said "Oh", turned his head away from Gu Saming, and turned his face to the car window.The car was quiet for less than half a minute. Curious, he suddenly turned his head back, and suddenly "examined" his brother: "Brother, who did you go to have dinner with at noon today?"

Gu Saming was amused again, and said calmly: "With the Gu family, there are only two uncles and aunts."

"What about Gu Saqing?"

"at school."

After a while, Gu Saming added: "Originally we only saw each other once or twice a year."

Qi Nian nodded thoughtfully, thought of something, then nodded again, and continued to look out the window without concern.

Qi Nian has lived in Lujinxing City for nearly three months, and there is almost nothing to clean up. The things he wants to take away are the things he brought with him back then, other than that, there are only a few clothes left.

"Brother, do you want to take the washing things away?"

Gu Saming was sitting at the desk, helping Qi Nian to fold his clothes: "If you don't bring them, you have them."

He turned around and unplugged Qi Nian's laptop. The computer was not closed. He was about to press it, but when he touched the keyboard, the screen turned on. Because no password was set, it stayed on the interface of replying emails.

——Qi Nian didn't even turn off the computer a week ago.

Gu Saming swipe twice casually, and when he slid to a certain place, his eyes suddenly became concentrated, and he tapped his fingers, but he quit after looking at it for less than two seconds, and shut down the notebook without changing his face.

Qi Nian came in from the living room, pushed the suitcase standing by the wall to the middle, and said, "Then there is nothing else, that's all."

"Then put the clothes in." Gu Saming said.

"Hmm..." Qi Nian replied sitting by the bed, but he was holding the box with both hands, pretending not to be in a state.

Gu Saming held his wrist, stroked the side of his wrist a few times with his fingertips, took the suitcase from his hand, put it upside down, and opened the zipper.

Gu Saming stared at it for a moment, then reached out to pick up the largest white bunny lying in the pile of brightly colored and colorful toys, an irreversible crease on the bunny's ears was still there.

Qi Nian blinked his eyelashes slowly and said, "You did it, right?"

Gu Saming didn't say a word, and then the rabbit was casually put aside.

"Keep it all the time, I keep it with me." Gu Saming picked it up one by one and looked carefully, and he could still see the old imprints caused by time wasting.

Including those two race car models - one from perfunctory, long overdue discard; the other from apology.

And all these years have become part of the precious memories in Qi Nian's heart.

And what Qi Nian chooses to forget, whether it is the little sun he posted with Qi Ming before the age of three, or the diary that he didn’t care about later, Qi Nian is under the strong self-protection mechanism, forgetting like a cramp. up.

Gu Saming felt that this was already very good, he was glad that he remembered it, and also glad that Qi Nian had forgotten it.

Qi Nian doesn't have to think about how the sun fell, how the light disappeared, how the world was destroyed, and the suffocation and pain that Ling Chi took every inch of his breath, Qi Nian had better not think about it again.

Even if the shadow left behind is deeply rooted, it may be with Qi Nian for the rest of his life.Gu Saming is also willing to spend his whole life watching the moonset and sunrise with his younger brother, and live a willful and happy life.
