don't sacrifice

"father!"

The alleys that were familiar in childhood suddenly became clear, bluestone bricks, green moss, red tiles, and crisp ripples brought back by my call.

In the distance, the young Zhou Qichen saw his long-awaited father.In his memory, his father was so stalwart.He greeted him happily...

It's just that as soon as the footsteps reached his father's side, when he looked up with joy, he found that his eyes had already been blank.The father lowered his head stiffly, looking at his young son, but blurred tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He raised his hand hesitantly, but as if he was suddenly poured out by some kind of anger, his palm came whistling with the wind...

"Get out of my way!"

Zhou Qichen suddenly woke up from his dream, as if he had been slapped, his heart was beating wildly, and he reached out and grabbed the armrest of the seat beside him.

It wasn't a dream, breathing deepened in his chest, trying to calm himself down.

This is part of his childhood experience, a question that has not yet been solved, and now it seems that because of the smuggling case, it has become even more puzzling.

The flight attendant heard the sound and asked him gently if he needed any help.Zhou Qichen also returned a standard smile and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, but in the end the stewardess still thoughtfully brought him a glass of warm water.

Holding the warm paper cup in both hands, Zhou Qichen's uneasiness continued to be magnified by this dream.He even began to wonder if he would be kicked out of the house by his father again when he returned home suddenly this time... In fact, he also has a little selfishness here, thinking that if he can calm down and have a good talk with his father this time, by the way, look Let's see if the old couple can accept Xiaobai's identity.

In the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the plane landed smoothly at the airport in Shangjing.With apprehension and doubt in his heart, Zhou Qichen followed the crowd and got off the plane.However, a familiar figure flashed in front of him, and when he wanted to check carefully, he had already got into a taxi and left without a trace.

Zhou Qichen frowned in confusion, the figure just now was clearly his old classmate Qin Chuan.Although I haven't seen him for a long time, but the elite-like aura on him is unique, and he should not be mistaken.

But shouldn't that big boss be sitting in his office at this moment? How could he appear here?

Maybe there's something wrong... Zhou Qichen gave himself an explanation in his mind, and then he stopped paying attention, reached out and stopped a taxi, and rushed towards his home.

But on the way, Zhou Qichen's keen investigative ability forced him to pay attention to the taxi in front of him, which completely coincided with his own route.The distance between the two cars was only one or two hundred meters, and they were almost controlled to the same frequency by the traffic lights. Those who didn't know thought that this car was following him.

In the end, the taxi took the lead and turned into his own community.Facing the increasingly familiar route, Zhou Qichen couldn't help but intensify the doubt on his eyebrows.

Seeing that the car in front stopped right downstairs of his house, Zhou Qichen also hastily stopped his own car.After taking out the money, he ran out quickly, just in time to bump into Qin Chuan who came out of another car.

"Why are you here?"

Now he can take a good look at the person in front of him, and it turns out that Qin Chuan is right.I saw him wearing a black shirt with a patterned tie on the neckline, which was rather formal.However, when he saw his own eyes, a trace of surprise flickered at first, but he quickly recovered his unique calm look.

"What a coincidence, why did you go home today?" Now that the two of them met, the hostility from the past was gone, and Qin Chuan curled up his mouth, as if to say hello in a normal way.

"That's right." Zhou Qichen knew that Qin Chuan was also from Shangjing, but it was obvious that his home couldn't be so close to his own, so he asked, "Then what about you, whose home are you going back to?"

"Of course it's your home."

Qin Chuan startled Zhou Qichen in a calm manner, "You are going to my house, why are you going to my house?"

"Let's go, you'll know when you go up." Qin Chuan didn't answer him, but walked upstairs first.Zhou Qichen hesitated for a few seconds before quickly following.

When he reached the door of his house, Qin Chuan wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door.Zhou Qichen stepped forward and grabbed him, "I'll do it."

Qin Chuan glanced at him, took a step back with a smile, and made a gesture of please.

"Boom boom boom——"

Zhou Qichen, who was worried, knocked on the door of his house. He thought that no matter what, his parents would not just kick him out in front of Qin Chuan, so he felt relieved.However, a few seconds later, the door was slowly opened, Zhou's mother poked her head out from behind the door, saw him, and immediately put on a smile on her face——

"Ah, so you're back..."

Since the Chinese New Year incident, the mother and son have not seen each other for half a year.And the mother's forehead seems to have added a few strands of silver hair, and there seems to be a few more wrinkles on the brow.Zhou Qichen couldn't help trembling in his heart, suddenly there was a kind of emotion in his heart when he returned from wandering for many years, no matter what, his mother was still his mother!

Zhou Qichen stretched out his hand affectionately, wanting to hug his mother, but Zhou's mother also stretched out her hand, skipping him and walking straight behind him——

"Oh, Xiao Chuan, why did you come here today when you have free time! You must be very busy at work, you see you have lost weight..."

However, just hearing Qin Chuan's light laughter from behind, it seemed that the petrified Zhou Qichen had been shocked to the point of cracks.

"I'm fine. Auntie, you are getting younger and younger. It's a pity that I came here in a hurry today, and I forgot to bring some fruits from Beihai back to Auntie."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let's see why you are so polite! You are not allowed to bring anything back to your aunt's house in the future!" Zhou's mother pretended to be angry, and reached out to hit Qin Chuan, but the strike was extremely gentle.After a few pleasantries, he was brought into the house, "Come on, let's go into the house, your uncle has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhou Qichen just watched his mother pass by him with a smile on his face, but he didn't even look him in the eye, and he didn't even know that Qin Chuan was so familiar with his family, it was simply unbelievable...

"If you can't come in, if you don't come in, I will close the door!"

After Qin Chuan entered, Zhou's mother seemed to have just seen her son, and she turned her head coldly and scolded him angrily.

"Come in!" Zhou Qichen squeezed into the room with a flattering expression before his mother closed the door.And Zhou's mother gave him a blank look, and ignored him again.

"Who's here?"

At this moment, father's majestic voice came from the back room.Zhou Qichen became tense unconsciously, and his back straightened all of a sudden.

However, Father Zhou slowly paced out of the bedroom. Compared with the man in the dream just now, he seemed to be much thinner, and he no longer looked like the father who could slap himself out of bed with one palm.But his father's eyes were still as sharp as before, and his eagle-like eyes still shocked him when he looked at him.

"Xiao Chuan, sit down."

Sure enough, his father also asked Qin Chuan to sit down first, but his son stood aside bewilderedly like an outsider.

"Come here." Qin Chuan saw his embarrassment and motioned him to sit down together.Zhou's father didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.

"I really didn't expect that you would come here together." Seeing that the two of them sat down side by side, Zhou's father also sat on the grand master's chair opposite them.Looking at his son Zhou Qichen's puzzled and questioning face, he sighed. In fact, he already knew the reason for these two people's visit. It seems that now is the time to tell them the truth...
