Qi Guo was very ticklish, struggling on the ground with his hands and feet, and it took a lot of effort to hold down the person who was teasing him.Panting, he glared at Tao He, and warned him not to mess around again: "It's so itchy! You still kiss me!"

He held Tao He's wrist with both hands, pushing him away from his face.Tao He kissed him contentedly, just looked at him with a smile, and didn't move when he was obedient, as if he had finally learned to be good.

Why didn't I see that my brother was so clingy before?Qi Guo muttered in his heart, got up and took out a small box wrapped in wrapping paper from the drawer in the room.

"Here, brother, open it yourself." He handed the box to Tao He, while he himself stood by the bed, as if he didn't want to lean over it.

Without further ado, Tao He opened the box directly.He moved carefully, even the outermost wrapping paper found the part that was pasted by the transparent tape, instead of tearing the paper directly.Inside the box is a small earth-colored clay sculpture. It can be vaguely seen that there are two small figures sitting side by side. It can be seen that the maker's craftsmanship is not very good. Tao He couldn't recognize that it was himself and Qi Guo at all.

But he didn't dislike this clumsy gift at all, and immediately held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Finally, he put away his smile and thanked him seriously. "Thank you Guoguo."

Seeing that he liked it, Qi Guo breathed a sigh of relief.In his last life, he gave the same kind of clay sculpture, but his craftsmanship is still so clumsy after two lifetimes, and only Tao He doesn't dislike it. "Then what will my brother give me?" The question was on the lips, but Qi Guo already knew what he would give.

Their usual expenses for food and clothing are all managed by the butler, and they only need to report directly to the butler for what they want to do, and there is no pocket money.However, in his previous life, Tao He secretly saved money from somewhere—thinking about it now, he probably saved it when he was in the orphanage—and bought him a piece of rosin.

Although the piece of rosin was mixed with essence as soon as he smelled it, it was not as good as the natural rosin he usually used, but Qi Guo was very moved by his heart.

"this."

Qi Guo was waiting for him to take out the piece of rosin, but Tao He took off the houndstooth bracelet that he had been wearing all the time from his hand and put it in his palm.The black hand rope was still warm, Qi Guo was surprised holding him, and all the emotions were expressed on his face.

"It can bless you." Tao He said seriously, his appearance was completely different from that of the person who was playing with him just now. "I hope Guoguo can live to be [-] years old in good health and happily."

His wish was simple and sincere, Qi Guo was stunned for a moment, just looked down at the bracelet.

A hundred years old...?He actually died at the age of 24.

That night was the Qi family's family banquet, and he, who was already living alone, returned to Qi's family because of his grandfather.Many people came that night, some he had seen, some he hadn't seen, and there was a lot of drinking and talking at the banquet. Read a book and rest.For some reason, the originally noisy voices suddenly turned into screams, followed by a burst of chaos.He didn't know why, so he walked to the window and looked out, but what he saw was a raging flame.

The fire started from the hall, and it was so fierce that the tongue of flames spread far and wide, and everywhere it went, everything was burned immediately.He didn't know what was going on downstairs, and he was only worried about his grandpa's safety, so he opened the door and wanted to go downstairs.Unexpectedly, the flames had burned up the stairs in a short period of time, blocking his way ferociously. There was even thick black smoke in front of his eyes, like a huge crow hovering above his head, and it was even getting thicker and thicker.

The only way out was blocked, he was anxious and afraid, so he could only retreat to the room, thinking that the second floor was not high, maybe he could jump down.However, when he walked to the window again, he found that even the downstairs had become a scene of fire.

How can it be? !If someone hadn't arranged it in advance, how could the Qi family burn so quickly?It was too late to resolve the doubts in my heart, the door was the only insulator, but its temperature was getting higher and higher by the flames outside the door, and it seemed that it was about to be unable to stop the fire.

what to do?Is it necessary to die in the fire without knowing why?

No, he can never sit still.He gritted his teeth, put a thick coat on his body, and wanted to lower his head and just rush into the sea of ​​fire to seek a chance of life.The door slammed, and at the same time that the loud sound startled him, the door collapsed, and there stood a person he hadn't expected at all.

"Let's go!" Tao He bent over and rushed in and pulled him away. He didn't say much, and the two of them rushed into the flames with their bodies lowered and their mouths and noses covered.

That scorching hot pain hit his face.No, the fire is too big——

He was in pain, and the thick coat he was wearing to cover him had long since been discarded because of the burning, and even the trousers and sleeves had begun to burn.The two couldn't escape at all, there was only endless red flames in front of them, and there was no way out of this hellish scene.

The things that had been burnt so hard to see their original appearance lay in front of them, and the flames were getting closer and closer, forcing the two of them to stand still.Realizing that there was no way to escape, he calmed down instead, and said softly, "Brother... can we not get away?"

Tao He turned around to protect him, covering his face with his steady and powerful arms. "Don't be afraid, brother is here, don't be afraid."

He was not afraid, but he felt very painful.No matter how much Tao He tried to protect him, the fire finally burned up, scalding his skin into blisters one after another, and when the blisters burst, blood flowed from the wound, and they were burned dry by the flames before they hit the ground. Just like that, they were swallowed up in the sea of ​​flames bit by bit...

"Guoguo, Guoguo—"

He was trembling with pain, but a voice kept calling his name patiently and gently in his ears, one after another, trying to rescue him from that hell.who is it?Is it the person he knows best?Is it the person he was thinking about?

Qi Guo barely opened his eyes, and Tao He's anxious face appeared in front of him. Seeing his half-opened eyes, he immediately whispered: "Guoguo, what's the matter? Don't be afraid, brother is here." No matter how soft his voice was, he couldn't hide it Can't help his anxiety.The most precious person suddenly passed out in front of him, even trembling and screaming like a nightmare, how could he not be in a hurry.

The remaining half of reason made Qi Guo want to ask Tao He not to worry, but he was so painful that he couldn't speak, he opened his mouth again and again, and finally couldn't utter half a syllable.Half a year after his rebirth, he also vaguely knew that he had such a sequelae, but he didn't tell anyone in his family because it was too bizarre.And after Tao He stayed by his side, he never got sick again, but he didn't expect it to be so serious this time.

Seeing him struggling to speak but unable to speak, his lips turned blue, and more cold sweat broke out on his smooth forehead, Tao He was even more anxious. He just held his hand just now, and now he hugged him completely without hesitation. live.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." He hugged the small body in his arms tightly, while repeating comforting words, and kept stroking his back with his palms. Hope it calms him down.

Qi Guo was hugged tightly by him, and his body was so close to each other that even the positions of their hearts overlapped, enough to feel each other's extremely fast heartbeats. "Brother...Brother..." The sense of security of being protected was so strong that he couldn't help sobbing softly.

"Brother is here." Tao He hugged him tightly, listening to his occasional small sobs, his heart seemed to be tightly held by someone, and the pain caused him to tighten his arms even more.

It was supposed to be the happiest night, but this accident made both of them exhausted.It wasn't until the middle of the night that Qi Guo fell asleep lying on Tao He's body because of exhaustion.Even in his dream, his brows were tightly knit together, and there was no sign of any relaxation at all.

Tao He stretched out his fingers countless times to smooth his brows, but found that it was useless every time.What happened to his most beloved baby?Why didn't he know anything... With a feeling of self-blame and remorse, Tao He found that he couldn't fall asleep even if he closed his eyes.

He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open all night until the dawn of the sky.

It was late in the winter morning, and when the sky was fully lit, Qi Guo moved and woke up.He just woke up, Tao He immediately noticed, and asked softly worriedly: "Are you awake? Is it still hurting?"

Because of crying a lot last night, Qi Guo's eyes were a little swollen and she couldn't open them.He shook his head wearily, and realized that he was not lying on the bed. He raised his eyes and saw Tao He's tired face and black eyes, and he understood that it seemed that he hadn't slept all night.

"I made my brother worry." I'm so useless, it's my brother who is in trouble in the end.

He felt much better after sleeping, but he was still very tired, so he looked a little listless.

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt." Tao He heaved a sigh of relief, and looked him up and down carefully like a doll, and after confirming that he was just mentally ill, he felt relieved.With this peace of mind, suppressed doubts came to mind.He didn't sleep all night and didn't come to a conclusion, so he had to ask himself.

"Tell brother, what's going on?"

Ah... oops.

Qi Guo was startled, and when she looked up, she saw Tao He staring at her intently, as if he wouldn't stop until she gave an explanation.He was a little worried.It was impossible to tell the truth, he didn't know how to tell such a bizarre thing, and Tao He might not believe him if he told him; and even if he told him, he was still just a child, could he understand this?

He has always insisted that Tao He is a genuine child, and he should not be burdened with things that do not belong to his age prematurely.However, he didn't expect that he was actually relying on Tao He all the time, such as this night.

Qi Guo thought and thought, but couldn't think of a suitable reason.Seeing Tao He's serious expression, he swallowed nervously, and said, "I... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was burned to death. I was the only one in the dream. I was very scared."

Mix half of the truth and half of the lies so that my brother will believe it, right?

The author has something to say: Tao He: You don't trust your brother.

Qi Guo: No, I really believe it!

Tao He: But you keep everything from me.

Qi Guo: ...I don't want you to worry.

Tao He: (want to be angry but can't)

Qi Guo: (pulls sleeves aggrieved) Don't be angry.

Tao He: (with a helpless sigh) I forgive you with just one kiss.
