After leaving Chu Zhengran's teahouse, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing sent Qiao Lechu and Qiao Zhiang home first.
As soon as they arrived at Qiao's house, Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Lechu went upstairs.
Thinking that Gu Yanjing was here, it would be impolite to go upstairs directly. Qiao Lechu hesitated for a moment, but was pulled upstairs directly by Qiao Yuxian.
Chen Hui saw that Qiao Lechu had a bad expression and looked at Qiao Yuxian. Qiao Yuxian signaled that she was fine, so she felt relieved.
The two went directly back to Qiao Lechu's room.
After arriving in the room, Qiao Yuxian locked the door and looked at Qiao Lechu.
Qiao Lechu was absent-minded all the way and looked very bad. When he arrived in his room, the composure he had pretended disappeared and his face became even worse.
She sat down on her bed, her eyes glazed over, and her hands trembling slightly.
Qiao Yuxian pulled up a chair and sat in front of her, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Lechu raised his eyes and looked at her slowly.
Qiao Yuxian looked at her: "Lin Huaishu"
As soon as he said these three words, Qiao Lechu suddenly shed a tear and fell out of his eyes without any warning.
Qiao Yuxian panicked and frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Sister." Qiao Lechu called her.
"Yeah." Qiao Yuxian responded softly.
"Sister, I, I, I" Qiao Lechu raised his hands to cover his face and let out a thin choking sound.
Qiao Yuxian put his hand on her arm and squeezed it, "Is it because of the scar on Lin Huaishu's arm?"
Qiao Lechu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Is it related to you?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
Qiao Lechu was speechless and could only nod.
Qiao Yuxian took some tissues to her.
Qiao Lechu took it and pressed it on her eyes. After a while, she wiped her tears, breathed out gently, and said, "I, I seem to have recognized the wrong person."
"Huh?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Jiang, Jiang Shouzhuo" Qiao Lechu said the name with difficulty.
Upon hearing these three words, Qiao Yuxian's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Qiao Lechu said: "Jiang Shouzhuo also has a scar on his right arm. I thought, I thought it was."
"Thought he was someone you met abroad when you were a child?" Qiao Yuxian saw that she couldn't speak, so he said the second half of the sentence for her.
Qiao Lechu nodded.
Qiao Yuxian took a deep breath: "It's Lin Huaishu."
Qiao Lechu nodded again: "I always thought that the scar on Jiang Shouzhuo's arm changed as he grew up. I told him about what happened abroad, and he said it was him. He was lying to me, lying to me.
"
When Qiao Lechu entered school as a freshman, Jiang Shouzhuo helped her go through the admission procedures.
The weather was hot at that time and Jiang Shouzhuo was wearing half-sleeves. Qiao Lechu saw the scars on his arms right away.
It's not quite the same as in the impression, but it feels like it, and it's all in the same position.
Later, Qiao Lechu joined the student union of their college. When the new members of the student union gathered, Jiang Shouzhuo was also there.
During the meal, he sat with Qiao Lechu.
During the chat, Qiao Lechu said casually and jokingly: "Senior, it's a coincidence that an older brother who saved my life when I was young also has a scar like this on his arm."
Jiang Shouzhuo was surprised at the time and asked for details.
Qiao Lechu simply said it.
Then Jiang Shouzhuo suddenly said: "So that little girl is you."
So Qiao Lechu always thought that Jiang Shouzhuo was the little boy from abroad.
Even though the scar was not very similar to her vague impression, because of Jiang Shouzhuo's admission, she thought it had changed with age.
But now I see the scar on Lin Huaishu’s arm.
With just one glance, she could tell that she had grabbed Chen Hui on his arm when she was anxious to find him when she was a child.
exactly the same,
Even because of that scar, many vague memories have become much clearer.
For example, she only remembered that she scratched someone and left a red blood mark on the boy's hand. She did not remember what the boy looked like at all.
Now that I see that scar, I vaguely recall his appearance.
Qiao Yuxian listened to Qiao Lechu telling her these things intermittently.
I thought: Jiang Shouzhuo was attracted to Qiao Lechu at that time, so he followed Qiao Lechu's words and deceived her.
Qiao Yuxian clenched his fingertips, touched Qiao Lechu's head and said, "I don't cry anymore. This is a good thing. At least, the brother I had when I was little has not become bad."
She didn't know how to comfort Qiao Lechu.
Jiang Shouzhuo not only lied to her, but also made her suffer so much.
"Sister, I'm too stupid." Qiao Lechu said.
"No." Qiao Yuxian said, "They are all too bad. Never use other people's evil to punish your own good. You are good, they are the bad ones."
Qiao Yuxian stayed with Qiao Lechu in the room for a long time. She didn't leave until her mood stabilized.
When she went to the living room, she told Chen Hui that Qiao Lechu was not in a good mood, and it was not convenient for her to reveal the specific details.
Chen Hui knew that she lived alone with Qiao Lechu in the past. Even though she tried her best to give her a good life and a good education, it still made her somewhat withdrawn.
Qiao Lechu knew from a very young age that it would be difficult for Chen Hui to take care of her by herself, so he was unwilling to tell her anything he had to do. He would solve whatever he could by himself.
Qiao Yuxian couldn't speak for Qiao Lechu, so Chen Hui didn't ask any more questions.
He left them at home to have dinner, but Gu Yanjing had a dinner party in the evening, so Qiao Yuxian and the others did not stay long.
But when they were leaving, Qiao Yuxian noticed that Qiao Zhiang was pulling a suitcase and getting up with his schoolbag.
She looked at Qiao Zhiang.
Qiao Zhiang pulled his little face and was about to cry.
Gu Yanjing said: "He will go back with us."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him in surprise.
This guy actually means it.
Her father and her aunt actually agreed.
Aren't they afraid that Gu Yanjing will be beaten if she gets annoyed?
Qiao Yuxian looked at Qiao Zhiang again.
Qiao Zhiang really wanted to cry.
Qiao Yuxian looked at his little appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "What? Are you unhappy going back with your sister?"
"Happy." Qiao Zhiang said the word "happy" and felt like the world was shattering.
The smile on Qiao Yuxian's face deepened. She touched Qiao Zhiang's little head, then looked at Chen Hui and said, "Auntie, don't worry, don't worry about him."
"I'm not worried about him." Chen Hui said, "I'm worried that you two will be annoyed by him and have a shadow on the child."
Gu Yanjing said nothing.
Qiao Yu said enviously: "How is it possible? Zhi'ang is very obedient."
Qiao Yu snorted in disapproval.
Xiao Zhiang whispered: "I'm very good."
Neither Qiao Yu nor Chen Hui expressed their opinions. But Chen Hui said: "Be obedient and don't make trouble."
"I know." Qiao Zhiang looked up at his parents.
That little expression seems to be saying: How could there be such cruel parents, so they can safely leave their little baby to a big devil to raise.
Qiao Yu looked at his expression and said ruthlessly: "Go ahead, it will just keep me clean for a few days."
Qiao Zhiang: "."
Qiao Yuxian smiled, took the schoolbag in his hand, and handed it to Gu Yanjing to hold. She took Qiao Zhiang's little hand and said, "Let's go, sister will take you to play."
