Falling flowers and flowing water

Qi Shao lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, he closed his eyes, and the scene of him and Cheng Yan meeting for the first time appeared in his mind.

Some things, Qi Shao thought he could not remember, but when he closed his eyes, those scenes were perfectly reproduced in front of his eyes, probably because those pictures were beautiful and shocking to him at that time, so he couldn't forget them.

It was a summer when Qi Shao was seven years old. One day, for the first time, his father appeared at home outside of get off work hours. It was the hottest time at noon. Qi Shao was playing with poetry letters all over his body. When he saw his father, he ran Wiping the sweat off his brow with his arm, he went out cheering.

The home at that time was the villa where Qi Shao and Cheng Yan lived together now. There was a bluestone corridor between the black iron gate and the house. Qi Shao stood in the middle of the corridor and watched his father walk over with a little boy.

The boy was very silent, and his eyes seemed to be half-opened, looking cold and indifferent.He was wearing a small white shirt. Contrary to Qi Shao's profuse sweating, the boy was refreshed. Qi Shao thought at the time that he must feel slippery and cool to the touch.

"Young master, come and say hello to brother Cheng Yan." Qi Shengming bent down and looked at the two little boys lovingly.

Qi Shao looked at this delicate and beautiful brother with wide eyes as if he had discovered a new species, and then reached out to grab Cheng Yan: "My name is Qi Shao!"

Cheng Yan's bangs were a bit long, covering half of his eyes, and he lowered his head again, showing no emotion at all.

After a long time, under Qi Shengming's watchful eyes, he stretched out his hand to touch Young Master Qi, and said, "Yes."

Qi Shengming smiled, straightened up, and said to Young Master Qi: "Shao Shao, go find your mother."

Young Master Qi nodded, and took a reluctant look at Cheng Yan before running into the house. When he turned around, he saw Cheng Yan was rubbing his pants with the hand that he had just held.

Young Master Qi looked at his hands while running - they were all sweaty.

——This person is filthy, Cheng Yan, a clean freak, must have thought so.Qi Shao laughed silently in the dark.

Qi Shengming and Jiang Miao talked for a while in the room. When Jiang Miao came out again, she held Qi Shao until Cheng Yan, who had been standing silently and vigilantly in the living room, said softly, "Shao Shao, Xiao Yan will It's your brother, he will live with us, we are a family."

Qi Shao nodded and showed a joyful smile. He liked Cheng Yan very much the first time we met.Cheng Yan, on the other hand, kept his head down without saying a word, and did not answer.

That night, Qi Shengming took Qi Shao back to the room and told Qi Shao a story.

Cheng Yan's father was Qi Shengming's comrade-in-arms when he was young. Later, the two started a business together. Over the past 20 years, the two poor boys have become well-known entrepreneurs.Unexpectedly, I was in my prime in my 40s, but I got cancer and passed away.Cheng Yan's mother died when he was very young, and once Cheng Yan's father left, Cheng Yan was left alone.None of the remaining relatives is reliable, and they all think about how to get more inheritance. Qi Shengming promised his friend to take good care of Cheng Yan, so he can't just watch him face the ruthlessness and ugliness of those relatives. He took him back to his home and stayed away from right and wrong.

Qi Shao seemed to be listening to a story: "What is a comrade-in-arms?"

Qi Shengming explained patiently: "They are friends who served in the army together."

Qi Shao asked: "What is cancer?"

Qi Shengming was puzzled, and explained with some sourness: "It's just a very bad disease, more uncomfortable than your fever and injection."

Qi Shao asked again: "Does he have neither father nor mother?"

Qi Shengming nodded.

Qi Shao clenched his fist and said like a little adult: "It's okay, he still has you and mother, and I will treat him well."

Thinking about it, Qi Shengming and Jiang Miao told him these things out of respect for him, Qi Shao heartlessly watched Qi Shengming leave the room, put on the quilt and went to sleep.
