love like wind

The two of them walked forward hand in hand, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the city was still noisy, as if they were the only ones left.

When it comes to Baoyan, Xu Li is actually not completely sure, because looking for his sister needs money and time, and he doesn't have that much time to waste.

In addition to keeping in touch with the police, Xu Li read a lot of information on child abduction. It is said that in the case of missing babies, the probability of trafficking male babies is higher than that of female babies. When they are 14 to 18 years old, it is the complete opposite. Although too many girls are alive, they are in hell on earth, beaten, forced into prostitution, and even have their organs taken away.

Thinking of these, Xu Li couldn't sleep at night.

He was sheltered in the Yang family and was able to grow up smoothly, but what about his younger sister?

He dared not think.

If my sister is still alive, she should be 15 years old this year.Since his younger sister Xu Lan was less than one year old when he lost her, Xu Li had no idea what her younger sister looked like now, but he remembered his mother's appearance, so her younger sister must be very beautiful.

The police comrades suggested to Xu Li: "The child was lost when he was young. Apart from being abducted and sold to other places, we should also look for the local orphanage."

Because of this, Xu Li would go to the orphanage whenever he was free. He collected a bunch of information about the orphanage in his schoolbag.

However, the dean saw that he was still a college student, and his attitude was very firm: "The children here are very sensitive. If you just express your sympathy, please don't bother these children."

Xu Li's tone was sincere: "My sister lost her when she was less than one year old. I would like to ask you if there are any children with similar age and characteristics to her." After speaking, Xu Li took out a baby's hundred-day photo and returned it to her. There is other information, "She has a birthmark on the back of her neck, the size of a fingernail."

The female dean is in her 50s, wearing a pair of full-frame glasses, with a serious expression, and was about to say something when a bell rang in the yard, and the children rushed out. The older one was fifteen or sixteen, and the younger one was four or five. age.

The playground is very close to this office, and as soon as you look up, you can see the dean and a young man standing around the corner talking.

The children chattered—

"who is this."

"Did anyone come to deliver toys today?"

"I didn't receive a pencil case last time, and my schoolbag was broken."

The older child had a mature expression, "Come on, don't even think about going out, it's another superficial job."

"But I still want to eat KFC, that sister was so gentle last time..."

“Egg tarts are also delicious.”

There is also the silent child sitting on the swing, without any sadness on his face, as if he has lost his childhood.

The dean raised his chin, "Look for yourself, when you come, you make these children look forward to it." She paused, as if she was used to people like Xu Li, "I can understand that you are looking for a relative." , but we really don’t have the children you mentioned here. If you really want to find them from the orphanage, please use the official method. Like today, the lives of the children will be disturbed. Also, don’t think that the children They are all angels, injured children are far more difficult to get along with than normal children, so please don't trouble us."

Xu Li looked calm and nodded, "Okay, sorry to bother you."

Going down the stairs, the dean saw his back, and couldn't help but say: "I'm also thinking about the children, please bear with me."

Xu Li raised his head and smiled lightly: "I know."

The dean asked again: "How did your sister lose it?"

"I lost it when I went out with my grandma when I was young," Xu Li added with calm eyes, "Grandma has dementia. At that time, the nanny went to the square to buy balloons. When she came back, she found that grandma and sister were gone."

The dean looked silent, "Wait a minute." She entered the office after speaking, and took out a stack of business cards after a while, her tone softened a bit: "This is the rest of the orphanages, there are contact information on it, next time Call before you go, or send an email."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Li took the stack of business cards with both hands.

On the way back, the light was dim, stretching the shadows long and narrow, the air was dry, and dust was brought up while walking.He vaguely heard clear voices behind him, but Xu Li didn't dare to turn his head.

On the official New Year's Eve, Yang Zhenhua's family proposed to go out for dinner. Yang Jiayu was a child and bought a lot of fireworks.She also brought the green plum wine made by her grandmother last time, and put them in the trunk together.

Xu Ying said, "Jia Yu, Dad has to drive, so he can't drink alcohol."

Yang Jiayu sat in the back seat, peeling the oranges, and said, "Then let's drink it, grandma said, the degree is not high." She raised her chin and asked her brother loudly, "Is it?"

At this time, Yang Jiayou sat between his sister and Xu Li, and nodded absent-mindedly. He felt that Xu Li was a little depressed.

The parents didn't think much about it and let them go.

During dinner, the restaurant was full of people, and Yang Zhenhua ran into a few old friends, so he couldn't help talking a little bit.Now that the children are older, it is no different from when they were young. Xu Ying said to her daughter: "If you feel bored, just go around the neighborhood. We will come to you later when Dad's over here."

Having said that, Yang Jiayu took the two elder brothers to set off fireworks together.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the street is full of New Year's flavor. There are red lanterns hanging on the plane trees. Walking along the sidewalk, it is an open park.

The garden is bright and open, and there are vendors selling small toys. Yang Jiayu ran ahead holding a bundle of fireworks.

Yang Jiayou couldn't help exhorting: "Go slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Xu Li turned his face to look at him, and found that Yang Jiayou's attention was on Yang Jiayu. When he looked at Yang Jiayu again, Xu Li seemed to have hallucinations. He only saw a happy girl waving at him, and he didn't have time to look at her face carefully. The voice rang in my ears: "Why are your hands so cold?"

As he said that, Yang Jiayou habitually held Xu Li's hand and put it in his pocket, "Green plum wine warms up, why did you drink it, it still looks like a hole in ice."

Xu Li came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I don't drink well, and I drink very little, it's not like you don't know."

"Oh," Yang Jiayou rubbed his chin, "Yes, who confessed to me like a drunkard back then."

Xu Li's ears turned red, and he was a little embarrassed.

After going to an open place, Yang Jiayu put the fireworks on the ground, squatted down and counted them one by one, with a very serious expression.

There were few people coming and going here, and Yang Jiayou didn't intend to avoid it, and he didn't let go of Xu Li's hand.

Yang Jiayu was already lighting fireworks not far away. They looked like fiery trees and silver flowers, about the size of a piano tuner, with an inverted triangle shape. As soon as the lead wires burned, Yang Jiayu covered his ears and ran to the opposite side.

Yang Jiayou looked at his younger sister, feeling warm in his heart. She was wearing a cashmere coat and a knitted hat today, and the wool balls on both sides of her ears were dangling. When she smiled, the fireworks seemed to fade away.

The night sky in front of me seemed to be lit up, shining with light blue, deep purple, and pink light, like a fire umbrella, with distinct layers of embellishments. The sound of "chug chug" fireworks echoed in the air, as if the New Year had really come.

Seeing that Xu Li was silent, Yang Jiayou hugged him from behind, tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter, I don't talk so much today."

Xu Li was afraid that Yang Jiayu would find out that they were abnormal, so he tried to push Yang Jiayou's hand away, but he hugged him even tighter.

"What are you hiding from? Jiayu knows that I like boys." Yang Jiayou's voice was full of displeasure, "I mentioned it to her."

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Jiayou, seeing his serious expression, felt a little strange: "Jiayou, what are you kidding?"

"Why am I kidding, she will know about this sooner or later." Yang Jiayou kissed Xu Li's cheek with a soothing expression, "I will find a way to deal with family matters, don't worry about it so much."

Xu Li's heart beat faster, and he didn't understand what Yang Jiayou was talking about. Hearing the meaning of this, why did he feel that Yang Jiayou was going to disclose his sexual orientation to his family?

His mind was a little messed up, and before he had time to think about it, Xu Li was turned around by Yang Jiayou and met his fiery gaze, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"No..." Xu Li almost blurted out, as if he felt guilty about finding his younger sister. Ever since he was a child, he has always been unable to escape Yang Jiayou's eyes when he has something on his mind.He didn't want this incident to disturb Uncle Yang's family, and in a hurry, he seemed to ignore what Yang Jiayou said just now.

Yang Jiayou only thought he was embarrassed, seeing his sister having fun, he whispered, "It's almost New Year's Eve, don't you have any presents for me?"

"Gift?" Xu Li raised his head in surprise, his eyes were wide open, and he almost had a question mark written on his face.

Yang Jiayou smiled and sighed, "Hey, I scared you."

Xu Li remained silent, with an apologetic face, before saying after a while: "I've been a little busy these days."

"It's okay." Yang Jiayou withdrew his hand and took something out of his pocket, "I have a gift for you."

Xu Li's heart trembled, and soon there was a warm current. He saw Yang Jiayou take out something, it was a Casio sports watch, "I bought a pair." He showed his wrist, the black dial was close in front of his eyes, "I bought it with the prize money from the previous competition." As he said, he wanted to help Xu Li put it on.

"Jiayou..." Xu Li's eyes were moist.

Yang Jiayou avoided his gaze, concentrated on helping him put it on, and said seriously: "I will work in the future, and I will buy you better ones."

Xu Li sniffed and choked up a little.

"Don't cry," Yang Jiayou pushed his cuff and turned his wrist, "You look good in white." As he spoke, Yang Jiayou smiled, held Xu Li's left hand, and breathed for him to keep warm: "Little Children cry."

Xu Li seemed to be experiencing a tide in his heart. He has been busy recently, so he will find an opportunity to accompany Yang Jiayou later.

More than half of the fireworks were set off, and Yang Jiayu saw what her brothers were talking about not far away. She hurried forward and found something new with sharp eyes, "Watch! I want it too, I want it too."

Yang Jiayou said angrily: "The things I usually buy for you are still short? Have you used up your pocket money?"

"Why are you so fierce." Yang Jiayu started to roll her eyes again, but she was still very happy because her brother usually gave her a lot of pocket money, and she saved it.

Xu Li suppressed his emotions, couldn't help laughing, and asked patiently: "Jia Yu, what gift do you want for the New Year?"

Yang Jiayu held a thin firework stick in his hand, tapped his head, and said thoughtfully: "Let me think about it—" For some reason, looking at Xu Li at this time, she remembered the little girl named Sun Fanjun, Before he could speak, the phone rang.

"It's mom, she said she was waiting by the side of the road, let's go back." Yang Jiayu simply relayed.

The three of them walked towards the exit, perhaps because they drank green plum wine, Xu Li felt dizzy along the way, both happy and depressed.
