Of course Qian Zhiqi was not worried that when he got married, someone would laugh at Xu Wenying for finding an orphan as her husband. Neither Professor Zhang nor Xu Wenying's mother would care about this, right?
He probably just wanted to find a reason to repay me.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with having multiple brothers. Wouldn’t it be nice to have Zong Bao reconcile with me?
"Okay!" I nodded.
It's not that I want Qian Zhiqi to actually prepare a dowry for me in the future. People are like this. In Qian Zhiqi's opinion, the favor he owes me is too great. If I don't agree, he will probably be uneasy for the rest of his life.
"Really? That's great!" Qian Zhiqi's still pale face was so excited that it seemed to shine, "Wenying, did you hear that Hu Ling agreed to be my sister, and I will have a family in the future! From now on, she will be
Your sister-in-law!"
Qian Zhiqi held Xu Wenying's hand excitedly and was a little incoherent.
I looked at Qian Zhiqi and smiled. I didn't quite understand why he was so excited. I thought it was because I saved him and he wanted to repay me, but looking at his look, he was really excited and happy. Look,
It's not as simple as just wanting to repay me.
It was not until much later, when I had no real relatives around me, that I realized how precious it is for a lonely person to have a relative who cares about him and treats him sincerely.
"Qian, brother, when are you and Sister Wen Ying going to get married? Does Professor Zhang agree?"
I have a slow-moving personality, so I was really not used to being called Qian Zhiqi and brother all of a sudden.
When Qian Zhiqi and Xu Wenying heard my question, they looked at each other and smiled. Xu Wenying replied on behalf of Qian Zhiqi: "My dad knows, and he has no objection. We are going to go back to Kyoto to see my mom directly tomorrow, and I will give it to you when we get married.
Call me, you must come!"
"Okay, I will definitely go to my brother and sister-in-law's wedding!" I replied with a smile, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I have to go back and pack my things. If I don't want to disturb my brother's rest, I'll leave first!"
This brother admitted it, and I don’t know if there are any other procedures, but Qian Zhiqi didn’t say anything, so I couldn’t ask more.
"Wait, Hu Ling!" Qian Zhiqi called to me again.
I turned back, looked at him, blinked and said, "Brother, don't worry, I won't go back on what I promised. Call me when you get married, and I will definitely go."
Qian Zhiqi smiled and said: "That's not what I want to say. Come here and I will give you something."
With that said, Qian Zhiqi put his hand into his arms, groped around, took out something and held it in his hand.
I wanted to refuse, but looking at Qian Zhiqi's solemn look, I walked over anyway.
Qian Zhiqi opened his palm towards me. In his palm were two small brown elephant sculptures of the same size as peanuts. Both elephants raised their long noses, opened their mouths, narrowed their eyes slightly, and stepped slightly with their front hooves. They were lifelike.
It's very lifelike and looks cute and naive.
It looks like it is carved from stone or made from fired ceramics.
"I had a younger sister who was in the orphanage with me when I was a child. I heard from the aunt in the orphanage that she and I were twins. We were placed in a bamboo basket at the entrance of the orphanage." Qian Zhiqi looked down at his hands.
There are two small elephant sculptures, with a hint of sadness in their eyes.
"At that time, my sister and I both had such a small elephant hanging around our necks. I don't know what it meant. Maybe it was a token left by my parents to us, or maybe it was a symbol of our status. When I was seven years old, my sister
When she got meningitis, she was always very well-behaved and kept silent no matter how uncomfortable she was. She was always afraid of disturbing others and worried that our aunt wouldn't like us. By the time the aunt found out something was wrong with my sister and sent her to the hospital, my sister was already dead."
Qian Zhiqi spoke slowly, a tear falling on the tan baby elephant.
"My sister was still laughing when she left. She asked me not to cry and gave me the little elephant that belonged to her. She said that if I miss her in the future, just look at this little elephant, and then I won't
I miss her so much." After saying that, Qian Zhiqi lowered his head and looked at the two small elephant sculptures in his hands and said nothing.
Neither Xu Wenying nor I spoke to disturb him.
There is some pain. When time passes, thinking about it again will actually be a kind of happiness. Although the heart will still hurt, the good things in the past will become more precious and last longer because they will no longer exist.
Looking at Qian Zhiqi's lowered head, I suddenly understood why he was so happy when I agreed to be his sister.
After a long time, Qian Zhiqi finally raised his head, picked up one of the elephant sculptures and handed it to me, "Hu Ling, from now on, you are my sister. Take this little elephant."
I was shocked, I didn't expect that he would give me such a precious thing.
You must know that this baby elephant is not only a relic of his sister, but also the only token left by his parents to their brother and sister.
Thinking of this, I quickly said: "Brother, I accept your offer. I really can't have such a precious thing."
"Take it, you will be my sister from now on, and this thing should belong to you!" Qian Zhiqi said, taking my hand and putting the little elephant sculpture into my hand.
I looked down at the little elephant in my hand. It squinted its eyes and grinned happily, but it felt a little heavy.
This little elephant sculpture is neither ceramic nor stone. On the contrary, it looks a bit like jade, but it is much heavier than jade. It has a faint halo that seems to be nothing.
I really can't tell what material it is made of.
But no matter what the material is, this is Qian Zhiqi's only thought for his sister, and I feel that I really can't bear it.
Seeing that I still wanted to push back, Qian Zhiqi said: "Hu Ling, if you want to push back again, you don't want to recognize me as your brother."
There was a bit of disappointment in his voice.
I was silent and had no choice but to accept the little elephant. Since he said that, it would be a bit pretentious for me to refuse.
Seeing that I had accepted the baby elephant, Qian Zhiqi seemed very happy, and his spirits were obviously improved. He talked to us for a while, and then he lay back down again with Xu Wenying's support.
When I walked out of the room where Qian Zhiqi was recovering from his injuries, I was still a little bit sad. I, Hu Ling, have been regarded as an evil ghost and a lone star in the sky since I was a child, but I didn't expect that now I would have a brother for nothing.
When I returned to the room, Xia Xiaobei had not come back yet, so I started to pack my luggage.
Not long after, a soldier knocked on my door and told me to go to the first floor for dinner.
When we arrived at the dining room, Professor Zhang, Xiao Han and Zhao Hu were already sitting around the dining table. Sitting next to Professor Zhang was another student of his, Wang Li, whom I had not seen for a long time.
Xu Wenying did not go downstairs, she was probably accompanying Qian Zhiqi upstairs.
Wang Li is a man of few words. He separated from us as soon as we entered the tomb, so I am not familiar with him. Although I saw that his face was a little pale and he looked a little like he had been seriously injured, it was not much.
ask.
In fact, it is not surprising even if he was seriously injured. After entering that ancient tomb, everyone would not escape a narrow escape.
If you make it out alive, you are considered lucky.
When Xiao Han saw me going downstairs alone, he looked behind me and said, "Why are you alone? Where is that friend of yours?"
I opened my mouth and was thinking about how to explain. A soldier standing nearby said loudly: "Report, Miss Xia and Researcher Zhou took four roast chickens and two bottles of wine and went out to enjoy themselves. Please let me tell Mr. Hu
do not worry."
I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile, not because I was happy that this soldier called me sir, but because Xia Xiaobei had a sudden idea to drag Zhou Hui out for a drink.
Could it be that the girl was craving for a drink?
Actually, I'm not too worried about Xia Xiaobei. Although that little girl sometimes seems to be fussy, she is really good at getting things done at critical times. If it weren't for her, I don't know what Zhou Hui would have done.
I feel really embarrassed just thinking about that scene.
Fortunately, after hearing what Xiaobing said, Xiao Han and Professor Zhang didn't ask any more questions. This chapter has been completed!
