godmother

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the sun is warm and soft, and the refreshing breeze blows in from the window.

Nangong Yu was lying on the soft sofa, staring intently at Lan Qiao's slender and delicate hands.Those hands were touching his legs at this moment, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow.Nangong Yu trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

"It hurts?" Lan Qiao's movements became lighter and gentler, looking at Nangong Yu with a hint of worry.

Nangong Yu shook his head, and said in a trembling voice, "It's a little itchy."

Nangong Yu has been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time. In order to prevent his legs from shrinking, he had to massage his leg muscles every day.Nangong Yu didn't feel any discomfort when she was massaging herself. Who knew that Lan Qiao's hands would itch when touched, and she wanted to hide by reflex.

"Then... the key point?" Nangong Yu uncontrollably groaned as soon as Lan Qiao pressed and pinched it heavily.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Nangong Yu said helplessly.Somehow, under Lan Qiao's touch, his body became so sensitive.

Lan Qiao rubbed her nose, her face full of embarrassment, her skills were not good enough, she seemed to be disgusted by the eldest lady.

"Ding dong." The doorbell rang.

Nangong Yu continued to lie on the sofa, and Lan Qiao went to open the door.

Like a bird, Lele rushed into the living room with a cheer, and threw herself into Nangong Yu's arms.

Uncle Chen looked a little tired, he stood at the door and said hello before leaving in a hurry.

When we parted that day, Uncle Chen asked Nan Gongyu and the other two to help, and that was to look after Lele after school.Uncle Chen's wife was sick and hospitalized, and Uncle Chen had to take care of the convenience store and his wife and granddaughter, so he was so busy.

Lele is very obedient, not noisy, Nangong Yu reads quietly, and she sits quietly beside her, her eyes curiously looking at the densely packed characters, even though she can't understand, her expression is extremely focused.

"Is it okay for sister to read to Lele?" The little head arched in Nangong Yu's arms, like a kitten, making Nangong Yu itchy.

Nangong Yu smoothed out the unruly hair, scraped Lele's little nose, hugged the little man into his arms, and started to read softly.

Nangong Yu read very carefully, the little man listened very carefully, and Lan Qiao watched very carefully.This scene is so familiar. Many years ago, Lan Qiao also saw Nangong Yu hugging his younger sister Nangong Fei so tenderly, teaching her to read and write stroke by stroke, and reading to her in a gentle voice.Unfortunately now...

This scene was so warm and beautiful, but Lan Qiao felt uncomfortable watching it.

"Sister, can you teach me how to play the piano?" After listening to the book for an hour, Lele ran to the black piano and asked excitedly.

Nangong Yu held Lele's small hands and taught her fingering bit by bit. Those hands were small, so soft, and so warm.

"Lele wants to hear my sister play Laputa in the Sky. This is Lele's music box. Lele likes it very much."

While playing the piano piece of Castle in the Sky, Nangong Yu couldn't help thinking about the past.

Nangong Fei pestered herself to learn this song after watching the anime of Sky City, and he also taught her for a while.I don't know why, the clever little ghost can learn everything quickly and easily, but he is clumsy when he learns the piano, he can't play well all the time, and he keeps pestering himself to teach her.

Nangong Yu couldn't remember how many times he had taught her repeatedly, but Nangong Fei would always make mistakes, and would look at him pitifully when he made mistakes.After finally learning Sky Castle, I pestered myself to learn other piano pieces.

Nangong Yu felt that Nangong Fei didn't like musical instruments that much, and he never practiced when he was away, but when he got home, he insisted on pestering himself to learn.

It was only later that her mother gave her more land and business, and the burden on her shoulders became heavier and heavier. There were more and more gang affairs, less and less time to go home, and fewer and fewer opportunities for the two of them to be alone. The opportunities to teach Nangong Fei how to play the piano are also becoming less and less...

In the end, Nangong Fei didn't learn how to play the piano after all. She only played the piece of Sky City from the beginning to the end. She practiced it hundreds of times, and it was also the first piece Nangong Yu taught her.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Lele stretched out her little hand in a panic, wiping the tears off her sister's face.

Nangong Yu woke up from the memory, touched his face, the water stains in his hands, and realized that he was crying unconsciously.

It seemed that at that time, that child was also chasing after him all day long.

Obviously, the past has been sealed in the deepest part of his memory, but at this moment, Nangong Yu's heart still throbbed fiercely.

Lan Qiao came over and closed the lid of the piano, picked up Lele from Nangong Yu's arms, and put it on the ground, "Lele, go wash your hands, and eat right away."

Lele ran away cheering.

Lan Qiao's culinary skills were getting better and better. Lele ate her mouth full, and Nangong Yu kept adding vegetables to her. The small bowl had piled up like a hill.

After dinner, Lan Qiao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Nangong Yu watched cartoons with Lele in the living room. After a while, Uncle Chen hurried back from the hospital to pick up Lele.

When we parted, the little guy was very reluctant and almost cried, until Uncle Chen told her that she could come and play for a while after school every day, and finally burst into laughter.

Seeing that Lele had finally left, Lan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. The little thing had occupied the eldest lady all afternoon, and she couldn't even get close to her if she wanted to.

Nangong Yu continued to lie on the sofa and read a book. Lan Qiao rested her head on Nangong Yu's lap, "Miss, please read to me."

"You are not interested in the books I read. The magazines you ordered are placed in the bookcase. Get them yourself."

Nangong Yu continued to flip through the book, while Lan Qiao was still lying on her lap, looking at her face intently.

Nangong Yu felt a little helpless, for some reason today, the whole group looked at him eagerly and asked him to read to them.

Nangong Yu couldn't resist Lan Qiao's overly fiery gaze, and began to read the words in his hands helplessly.

Nangong Yu's voice was very gentle, and it was very pleasant to the ears.Lan Qiao is an orphan, and the few childhood memories she has left are snatching food from wild dogs and shivering in the freezing cold. This is the first time someone reads to her, so she listens very carefully, with a serious expression on her face. Very focused, even though it wasn't what she was interested in.

"Miss, I want to hear you play the piano."

"What do you want to hear?"

"whatever."

Nangong Yu felt that Lan Qiao was not the same as usual today. The killer who used to be indifferent and indifferent is a bit... childish today?

Nangong Yu played his favorite tune, Lan Qiao moved a chair and sat beside the piano, neither of them spoke, Lan Qiao looked at Nangong Yu's side face concentrating on playing the piano, his eyes sometimes drifted, and sometimes indulged.

"Do you like it?" Nangong Yu turned his head and asked after playing a piece.

Unexpectedly, a piece of cold lips pressed against his own, tender, tender, and hot.

Nangong Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed his hands on the keys indiscriminately, making crisp sounds.

In Lan Qiao's life, he had killed many people, but not many people were cared about.

In the vast sea of ​​people, it is very fortunate to meet such a person.

For the past week, Lele has brought people over every day after school.Lele likes the gentle Nangong Yu very much, but is a little afraid of the cold Lan Qiao.

On this day, as usual, at 03:30 in the afternoon, the doorbell rang, and Lan Qiao went to open the door.

Standing by the door was Uncle Chen, who was sweating profusely, but Lele was nowhere to be seen.

Uncle Chen looked tired and anxious, "Have you picked up Lele from school?"

Lan Qiao shook his head.

Uncle Chen's face turned pale, "Lele is gone."

Uncle Chen searched all the places nearby, including schools, communities, parks, shopping malls, playgrounds...but he couldn't find Lele.Uncle Chen was like a headless fly, sweating profusely from exhaustion, but still rushed to Nangong Yu to ask questions, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

When he learned that Nangong Yu and the others did not go to pick up Lele, Uncle Chen's eyes became more and more uneasy, and he just kept murmuring, "Lele is gone, Lele is gone, what should I do, what should I do?" manage……"

"Let's go to the school and have a look." In the end, Nangong Yu helped Uncle Chen, who was in a panic, make up his mind. Lele disappeared at school, and there must be clues there.

Lan Qiao pushed Nangong Yu to the school, and Lele's teacher was clearing the table and getting ready to leave work.

"Teacher Tong, Lele is gone, have you seen her?" Uncle Chen rushed into the office, rubbing his hands nervously.

The man on the opposite side is about 30 years old, wearing a white shirt, elegant and stable.

Tong Yu pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in surprise, "Lele hasn't come home yet, his brother came to pick her up this afternoon."

"Where is Lele, brother?" Uncle Chen looked puzzled.

"A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, very handsome, wearing a fashion brand, with a cross necklace." Tong Yu pinched his chin, lowered his head and recalled in thought.

Nangong Yu and Lan Qiao exchanged glances, it was the boy who collected protection money at the convenience store.

At that time, the boy threatened to destroy the store if he did not pay the protection fee in a week. Now, a week has passed, but no one was found to destroy the store, but Lele was abducted.

Uncle Chen recently had to take care of his wife who was seriously ill in the hospital, and he had long forgotten about it. Now that Lele was kidnapped by a teenager, he suddenly remembered it.He would rather the boy smash up the small shop he used to make a living than Lele suffer the slightest harm.

The cell phone rang suddenly, "Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat..." The cheerful melody seemed inappropriate in the tense and depressing atmosphere. It was Lele's favorite song, because her granddaughter liked it very much, so Uncle Chen turned the phone Bell was replaced by this.

Uncle Chen stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pressed the hands-free button on the phone.

"Old man, your granddaughter is in my hands, the protection fee..."

"I'll hand it in right away, please, don't hurt Lele."

"Damn old man, if you dare to call the police..."

"No, I won't call the police. Where are you? I'll bring the money right away."

The boy gave an address and hung up the phone impatiently.
