Chapter 22

After the meal, Lu Yihang was dragged upstairs by Qiao's mother, leaving Joan alone to wash the dishes with apprehension.

Mother Qiao took out three books from the bookcase, turned around and asked Lu Yihang, "Haven't you seen his childhood photos?"

Lu Yihang said in surprise, "This is his photo album?"

"Well, since I was a child." Qiao's mother sat on the sofa and touched the cover with nostalgia.

Mother Qiao took out a photo album with a blue cover and handed it to Lu Yihang, "This is the first one, from birth."

Lu Yihang took the photo album solemnly, put it on his lap and opened it.

This is a very delicate photo album. The shooting date is written next to each photo, and there are even many short stories, as well as some messages from Joe's parents and Joe's mother to Joan.

Lu Yihang's expression was more cautious, as if he was studying a scientific research report that must not go wrong.

The little one in the photo on this page has no clothes on, lying on the bed naked, gnawing his little paws.Joan's eyes have been very big since she was a child, and she followed her mother.The pair of dark and big eyeballs were even more obvious when he was a child.

Whenever Qiao An looked straight at you with those eyes, he couldn't help but soften his heart.Lu Yihang heard from his mother that Qiao An's appearance is the most lovable one, and one can't help but want to get close to him just by looking at it.

After Lu Yihang grew up, he rarely affirmed his mother's words, but he agreed with this one very much.

The photo album is very thick, and Lu Yihang reads it very slowly. If possible, he even wants to take the time he wants to appreciate every photo that satisfies him.

"Ah, this is the first time we took him to the zoo. An An is very courageous. Other children would be afraid when they see lions, tigers, snakes, etc. He is so small, but he likes to see them."

Qiao's mother pointed to a photo and said that in the photo, Joan was lying on the side of the iron cage, and the two mighty lions inside were opening their mouths wide. "At this time, he hasn't started kindergarten yet!"

"This is the first day he went to the kindergarten. He didn't cry when he saw us leave. When we came home, the kindergarten teacher told us that he was very good and very popular with the children."

Lu Yihang watched Qiao An standing quietly at the gate of the kindergarten with his small schoolbag on his back, and regretted that he hadn't met him earlier.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yihang asked, pointing to a photo, which showed Qiao An with a gauze wrapped around his head, with an expression of dissatisfaction.The text next to it is simple - "First fight".

Lu Yihang was very surprised. According to Qiao An's personality, would he be able to fight at such a young age?

"Haha, when An An was a child, he is exactly the same as now. Guess what?" Qiao's mother took a picture of the photo album, "You can't guess how naughty An An was when he was a child. His cuteness in the kindergarten the week before was completely an illusion. !"

"Imagination?"

"That's right, he was not familiar with the environment at that time, so he deceived everyone by relying on his face." Qiao's mother smiled and shook her head, "A week later, he started to be a bully, this is him It was left over from someone else's fight that day."

"Why did he fight?" Lu Yihang was very curious, because the expression on Qiao's mother's face was full of pride, rather than laughing at this memory.

"Because he is very just." Qiao's mother said, "Every day in their kindergarten, after waking up from a nap at noon, they will give each child a small biscuit, or a small cake or something like that. There is a pair of twin brothers in their class who look very special Like, almost indistinguishable."

"Look, this is the pair." Qiao's mother pointed to the group photo, and Lu Yihang saw that there was indeed a pair of twins with very similar looks on it, "These twins should be relatively greedy, and they often go to the teacher's place based on their looks. Have a biscuit or two."

Lu Yihang probably guessed why Qiao An would fight.

"An'an probably thought it was unfair, so she fought with them. But, An'an is very good, even two-on-one fights are evenly divided." Qiao's mother looked at the photo, feeling very nostalgic.

"Why didn't he tell their teacher?" Lu Yihang asked, according to Lu Yihang's understanding of Qiao An, even in such a situation, it shouldn't be a fight.

"Because An An felt that suing the teacher was a villain's act, haha, he was really cute when he was young."

Qiao's mother smiled happily, and Lu Yihang also smiled, becoming more and more curious about Qiao An's childhood.

Joan downstairs finished washing the dishes, and couldn't help but want to go upstairs to have a look. Mother Qiao's laughter continued downstairs, and Joan felt like a kitten was scratching her heart.

"An'an, come here." Father Qiao saw that Joan had come out, and waved to Joan.

Joan walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"Your mother is showing him photos of you when you were a child, do you want to go up?" Father Qiao gloated.

"She..." Qiao An couldn't help but touch her forehead, why would everyone want to show it off... One of Qiao's mother's favorite things to do is to share Qiao An's photos with her guests.It doesn't matter whether the other party is happy or not, although most people like it, Joan is still very embarrassed about it.

Especially when the person looking at the photo becomes Lu Yihang.

How do you feel so ashamed...

"Sit here and watch TV with me." Father Qiao patted the place beside him.

Joan thought for a while, and sat beside Joe's father.

"An'an, are you feeling better?" Joe's father put one hand on Joan's shoulder and looked at Joan seriously.

Joan replied, "It's been gone for a long time, Dad, how about you?"

"I'm not asking about your hand, I'm talking about the one you saw just now."

"What?" Joan asked.

"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" Papa Joe raised his chin and pointed to the TV.

"They are also classmates in elementary school." Lu Yihang turned to Qiao An's elementary school graduation photo. On it, Qiao An wore a head of long hair, and beside him stood two identical teenagers.

"That's right, they don't know each other, the three of them have become best friends."

"They even participated in the basketball game." Lu Yihang touched Qiao An in the photo, and he smiled vigorously.Of the twin teenagers, one lowered his body and stood shoulder to shoulder with Joan, each holding a basketball in one hand, while the other stood behind them with a smile.

"Not only were they classmates in elementary school, they also took the junior high school exam together." Qiao's mother turned the page backwards, "But at that time, the elder brother of the twins didn't play with them so often. He was watched by the provincial swimming team. Basically, it’s gathering less and leaving more.”

Lu Yihang nodded.

No wonder in the photos below, there is basically only one person standing with Joan.Lu Yihang felt that he could basically tell who was the elder brother and who was the younger brother.

In that photo, the younger brother was laughing with Joan, and the elder brother was standing behind them.

"Are they still in touch?" Lu Yihang asked.

Mother Qiao didn't speak, and looked at the three children in the photo in a daze.

Downstairs, Joan sat quietly on the sofa. He seemed to be watching a basketball game on TV, and it seemed that his thoughts had drifted to a place that no one could reach.

"An'an, it's been so long." After a long silence, Dad Qiao picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

Joan was still staring at the TV, as if he hadn't come out of the game for a second.

"An'an, can you say something." Father Qiao patted Joan on the back with a little force.

Joan stood up abruptly and took two deep breaths.

"I..." Joan clenched his fists hard, he opened his mouth as if trying to justify something, and finally said nothing, "I'm going first."

"An'an!" Qiao's father yelled out loudly, but Qiao An still walked out with his head sullen.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yihang and Qiao's mother came out of the door.

"An'an said he was leaving..." Father Qiao was a little helpless, and gestured to Mother Qiao.

"You must be out of your mind!" Qiao's mother scolded Qiao's father, "It's time to grow!"

Joe's father shrank his neck, "Didn't you just see it today..."

"Who told you to watch a basketball game!"

"Didn't I see that Yihang is coming... What if he likes it..." Father Qiao cried, "Is it okay if I'm wrong?"

Lu Yihang ran downstairs quickly, and said to Joe's parents, "Mom and Dad, I'll go after him."

"Hang Hang, run slowly, pay attention to safety!"

"Okay!" After speaking, Lu Yihang had already ran out of the villa.

There was no one in the garden, and no one was seen outside. Lu Yihang estimated that Qiao An had already run a long way, so he followed the neighborhood to look for it.

"Joan?"

In the garage behind the garden, Joan crouched in a corner, listening to the sound of Lu Yihang getting farther and farther away from him.It was still his favorite posture. In such a lonely and dark space, Joan dared to rest assured and let his emotions show.

Don't worry about what more people will think or see.

Memories from many years ago rushed towards Qiao An like a landslide and tsunami.

Joan worked hard to calm his heartbeat, exhaled heavily, and exhaled heavily.Then he felt something stuffed in his trouser pocket.

I took it out and saw that it was the piece of paper from yesterday, with an anti-anxiety medicine in it.Joan stuffed him into his mouth as if seeing the holy light.The taste of dry throat is unpleasant, but being irritable is even more unpleasant.

The pill was not small, and he had to swallow it with a little effort.After that, it got stuck in my throat, which made me want to vomit.

I don't know how long it took before Qiao An felt better and felt much more comfortable.He knew he should go back, but he didn't want to go anywhere other than sit with his knees in the garage.

He fumbled in his pocket again, trying to check the time, but he couldn't find the phone. Thinking about it carefully, it should have landed on the sofa.

Everything is always going wrong, why is it always so counterproductive.

Whether this medicine works or not, why is it still so anxious, even very irritable.Joan pinched the trousers with both hands, twisted them vigorously, and looked at all this with blank eyes.

The cold wind in the garage hit in gusts, and Joan, who was sitting on the ground, was already icy cold.

"Joan! Are you in there?"

Joan stopped and didn't answer.He heard the footsteps of someone walking in, getting closer and closer to him step by step.Joan wiped his face, put his index finger across his teeth and bit down hard.

light is on.

"Joan?" Lu Yihang gasped and appeared in front of him, "Joan, I found you."

The author has something to say:

Lu Yihang: I found you.

Joan: Hmm.

Lu Yihang: I will never let you go again.

Old Deer: Boy, don't set a flag.old mother's smile.JPG
