hold peck

"You are mistaken."

Xu Ji'an's smile was very gentle, as if he was lovingly looking at an ignorant junior.

In this world, anyone can be Xu Wenyan's flesh and blood, except He Zhi.

Xu Peck looked at him, as if he had never known this man whom he had called "Uncle" for 12 years.

"I don't understand," he said dryly.

Xu Ji'an shook his head helplessly: "Little Peck, you are still too young."

The year Xu Wenyan died, Xu Ji'an might have just been a stunned young man who had just supported the Xu family from his uncle, but five years later, he had rapidly grown into a natural nobleman.

He has the ability to find out the true origin of Xu Peck, and he can even figure out what Xu Wenyan has experienced in the past few years.

For example, he met He Jin.

"I didn't know it at first, but when I went to pick you up, your dean told me that just a few months ago, a woman came to see you with her child. She also reminded me that you may have what relationship."

Xu Peck looked at Xu Ji'an strangely, and countless absurdities arose in his heart: "You already knew that He Zhi was..."

"He's not," Xu Ji'an interrupted him calmly, "Even if they are related by blood, it is absolutely impossible for him to be from the Xu family."

On the day he left Qingnan Road, Xu Peck went back to his grandma's house and cut his nails very bald, but even so, he still felt the dull pain that was about to be dug into his palm.

Even his throat was so sore as if it had been cut by the point of a knife, Xu Peck lost his voice: "Why?"

Xu Ji'an can be so good to a child who has nothing to do with him, why, why, knowing where his brother's own flesh and blood is and what he is going through, he can still turn a blind eye to him.

"Little peck."

Xu Ji'an couldn't resist and said: "I have my own considerations, He Zhi should be in his proper position, which is good for everyone."

He had never really cared about the child who might be bleeding from Xu Wenyan, but when he heard his subordinates report that the boy who was closest to Xu Peck was named He Zhi, he still couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, laughing ridiculously. Muttering: "The surname is He, and the surname is He again."

Xu Wenyan died to go back to save He Jin, even if it was because of this, it was absolutely impossible for him to allow the person surnamed He to enter the Xu family.

Xu Ji'an looked at the pale-faced Xu Peck, and softened his tone: "Little Peck, I don't want to interfere in your relationship with He Zhi, but that's all."

"I can not do it."

The young man's face was ugly, but his answer was loud and clear.

Xu Ji'an narrowed his eyes: "You have only known each other for less than half a year."

"Four months and eleven days."

Xu Peck raised his head and looked at him: "He Zhi is a very good person, I am not worthy of him."

He had never spoken to himself in such a tone.

Xu Ji'an's face turned cold, but Xu Peck had already got up and was about to leave.

Huijia is very big, but Xu Si is gone, Liang Yan is gone, and now Xu Peck is leaving too.

"Little Peck," he called out to stop the young man who turned his back to him, "Have you thought about it, if you leave this house now, your surname will not be Xu in the future."

Xu Peck didn't speak, but the figure who picked up the file bag again silently expressed his attitude.

Xu Ji'an raised the corners of his mouth and suddenly smiled.

"Then do you think He Zhi can still accept you after he knows your identities?"

"..." Xu Peck turned his head back and looked at the man who was no longer as gentle as before with a blank expression on his face.

"Let me tell you the truth, little peck. I knew it the first day you appeared in Yejiahui."

Xu Ji'an caught Xu Peck's trembling fingers with great interest, and said with a smile: "I reminded them, no matter what the result is, remember to send a copy to the other party."

"He Zhi, express delivery!"

Supor shouted at the top of his voice outside.

Nie Ziyu's pattern is simple. Although He Zhi frightened her, he finished the thread within 10 minutes with steady hands.

Just after finishing the final treatment, the proprietress shouted for her soul outside the door.

He Zhi gave a "tsk", indicating to Qiu Ran to continue coaxing Nie Xiaoyu, who was so painful that his eyes were shining with gold stars, while he tore off his gloves and opened the door and walked out.

Supor gnawed melon seeds at the bar and slightly raised his chin to the postman who was waiting for the receipt: "Here comes the man."

"What courier?"

He Zhi came over to take the fountain pen, looked at the mailing address and frowned.

Supor was also very curious: "I thought you wrote the address of your online shopping in the store, but it was sent from Yejiahui, and there is no sale there. Are you next to a rich woman?"

He Zhi lowered his eyes and finished writing his name, handed back the thin courier bag to his brother, tore off the receipt, turned around and smirked at Supor: "Isn't that right, I'll help you."

Damn boy, you won't suffer a word.

Supor rolled his eyes, and continued to watch his series without interest.

While Nie Ziyu and Qiu Ran were still in the room, He Zhi casually tore off the seal while walking back, and took out a thin piece of paper from inside.

The moment he saw the file look up, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Nasa, why are you in a daze?"

The colleague who was blocked by him clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, but He Zhi's expression staring at this piece of paper was too frightening, it was as cold as a cone that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"...He Zhi?"

The last line was so hot that people wanted to clenched their fists. He Zhi squeezed the absurd appraisal report with all his strength, walked back quickly and pushed open the door of the workshop.

"Master He, can you stop being so surprised?"

Nie Ziyu had already put on his clothes and was startled while drinking water.

Qiu Ran turned around with her, and met the young man's cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

He Zhi raised the messy white paper in his hand, chewed through the blood of his gums and opened his mouth.

"Xu Peck. Qiu Yuan. He is the child I was looking for back then, right?"

Xu Peck fell weakly on the chair at the end of the long table.

"Why are you?"

Xu Ji'an smiled and picked up another curly noodle: "Maybe it's because I know you well enough?"

The table was very long, and they sat facing each other, but their faces were completely different pale and confident.

Xu Ji'an seemed a little helpless: "Your aunt is too short-sighted and always doesn't listen to me. Xu Si is not suitable for my position, but Xiaopei, you are very similar to me."

It is considered a heresy for the Xu family to produce a Xu Wenyan, and there is no need for another child who is almost exactly the same as him.

That year, in the Qingnan Welfare Institute, Xu Ji'an squatted down and looked at Qiu Yuan, who was only five years old, for a long time. Son, he will appear as a child of the Xu family in the future.

Xu Si was born with ear problems, and was later raised and disabled by Liang Yan. Xu Peck can be his right-hand man and accompany him to grow up.

If it is good enough, it is not impossible to replace it in the future.

For Xu Ji'an, the so-called blood inheritance was indeed not that important.

"That's why you didn't acknowledge He Zhi."

Xu Peck raised his head, and put on an incomparably miserable and sarcastic smile.

"To you, he's just a nuisance."

The chopsticks broke the noodles, Xu Ji'an lowered his eyelids, and said calmly: "It doesn't need to be so harsh, but he has such a family background, even if your father is alive, I will not let him into the house."

"That's not my father," Xu Peck stood up, "Stop kidding yourself."

"..."

Xu Ji'an held his chopsticks and looked at him sharply.

Xu Peck stared at the eyes that he had looked up to for many years, and paused every word.

"I'm different from you,"

"He Zhi is even more different from you."

"Yes, he is your brother."

Qiu Ran helped Nie Ziyu to sit down, and nodded calmly.

He Zhi stared at her with eyes that wanted to strangle her: "Why are you lying to me?"

"We lied, but it has nothing to do with Yuanyuan."

Qiu Ran walked to the door and pulled He Zhi in, and then closed the door tightly before turning her head to look at the gloomy young man: "I was even very skeptical, the dean heard what Mr. At the end, Yuanyuan didn't know from anywhere that you might be his brother."

Until in Wancheng, He Zhi shattered Xu Peck's cherished memories of more than ten years in his sincerity of confessing all the secrets.

He Zhi narrowed his eyes: "Then why didn't you say it?"

Tell Xu Peck that he has an older brother and wants to get him back, the little brother he has remembered for many years.

Nie Ziyu calmly warmed Qiu Ran a glass of water to drink later, and by the way picked out a magazine from the table and flipped through it.

Qiu Ran looked at him neither humble nor overbearing: "Because you didn't look like a good person at that time."

Although Xu Ji'an didn't seem to be very good, he looked much more reliable than He Zhi, who had a hostile expression on his face, as if he was not here to find someone but to kill someone.

He Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "...Yuan...does he really not know?"

It was obvious that the Xu family was taken back by Xu Ji'an when he was five years old, but Xu Peck told He Zhi when he tried to ask for the first time that he was taken away when he was a few months old, and he dismissed He Zhi easily. doubts.

"He didn't lie to you."

Qiu Ran's eyes suddenly became complicated, watery and glistening, as if she couldn't bear it.

She took a deep breath and said, "Yuanyuan...he has been adopted by the Xu family twice."

In the third year of Liang Yan's marriage to Xu Ji'an, she still failed to have a child.

Her health is not good, the more anxious she is, the harder it is to conceive.The Xu family needed a son, and Liang Yan was very distressed, and for the first time offered to divorce.

But Xu Ji'an still loved her very much at that time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally asked her if she would like to adopt a child in an orphanage.

Fate was intertwined like this. When Xu Wenyan turned around and rushed to the dead end, his younger brother brought his wife to the place where he had just left, and chose the child who was protected by him all the way to the north.

At that time, he wasn't even called Qiu Yuan.Xu Peck's first name was Xu Peck.

He may have been expected and loved at first.

But when Xu Peck was less than one year old, Xu's mother became pregnant.

Liang Yan agreed to Xu Ji'an at first, but she had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, but when she was really forced to look at this child who didn't resemble her in the slightest every day - no matter how hard she tried, nothing could grow in her heart. maternal love.

And now she can have children of her own.

It has only been a few months since Xu Peck was brought back, and he hasn't had time to form any emotional connection with them.

Blood is thicker than water, Qiu Yuan easily became a returned child.

The children in the orphanage range from a few months old to teenagers, and many of them have memories of this incident.

Even though the dean and teachers repeatedly emphasized not to talk about it, in those years, Qiu Yuan was always favored by the parents who came to adopt him because of his beautiful eyes, but he was too cold-tempered, and in the end he often died without a problem.

He is not a likable character at all, and he is so jealous, except for Qiu Ran, no one really likes him.

Qiu Yuan has heard a lot of gossip, and he knew from a very young age that he was a child who was abandoned twice after birth.

After He Zhi broke the appointment with him, Qiu Yuan was actually not that disappointed.

He was used to this ending, but he couldn't help but miss the little brother who held his hand and played with him everywhere with a smile on his face.

But later, Xu Ji'an came back again.

Qiu Yuan knew that the man who said his uncle wanted to take him away was the adult who abandoned him before, even Qiu Ran pulled him to a corner, squatted down, looked into his eyes seriously and asked: "Yuanyuan, you can choose when you grow up. Do you want to go with him?"

Qiu Yuan thought for a long time, and finally said: "Yes."

He seemed to need his own appearance.Qiu Yuan was never needed, but Xu Peck was not.

"..." He Zhi was a little lost.

The appraisal report in his hand was almost crushed into a ball of waste paper. Of course, it was just a piece of waste paper in the first place.

Qiu Ran said softly: "I don't know what the dean told you back then, but she told me later that only Mr. Xu answered the phone call she made to Xu's family."

But Xu Ji'an told her gently that he had already asked Xu Peck if he wanted to meet this brother, but he said no.

Although the dean didn't hear Xu Peck's response at all, and he didn't even know whether he was on the sidelines or not, but the uncle and half-brother seemed to be easy for outsiders to make a choice.

He Zhi lowered his head and closed his eyes ridiculously.

"But we are not biological."

His mind was in a mess at the moment, he couldn't think about his relationship with Xu Peck, Xu Peck's relationship with Xu's family, or even his own relationship with Xu's family - he couldn't even think about who sent this courier.

Even if Xu Peck did the appraisal report, he would not explain everything about himself with such a cold piece of paper.

Who else would know Xing Su's address?

Is that great Mr. Xu?

The room was too dark, Nie Ziyu went to the window and opened the curtains with a "swish".

The pavement on Bar Street has been around for a long time, and the sunlight coming in from the window was only blocked by the wall for several sections, so it looks very dark.

A while ago, Supor just picked a lot of land and a lot of money in a certain high-rise building, and it is being renovated - he also had the courage to study the extremely expensive Yejiahui before, and he only got a little understanding when he said it just now.

"So what if it is, what if it isn't?"

Nie Ziyu stretched loosely towards the window, and turned to look at the two who had been splashed with blood for a long time.

"I also have a younger brother, and his life is quite bloody. The dog got to the point where he threw away everything and went away, and the person he loves is still waiting for him to continue writing this bloody story. It's very interesting. have no choice."

"Master He, I advise you to be smarter than my brother."

It is rare in one's life to meet someone you like and not get pregnant, so why care so much.

"Ziyu..." Qiu Ran looked at her helplessly.

Nie Ziyu curled his lips at her, and looked provocatively at the indifferent He Zhi: "It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, leave the show early, so I can introduce a lot of high-quality young people to Xiao Yuanyuan."

"You, do, dream."

He Zhi rolled up the waste paper in his hand and threw it into the wastebasket in the corner.

After one summer, the murals on the walls of the orphanage are still as gorgeous as ever.

Xu Peck stood next to his mother's saury in the apron by the wall for a while, and felt his legs go weak for a while, so he squatted down wearily.

He Zhi knew.

Do the ridiculous parentage test behind his back.

Can he guess why?

He Zhi is very clever, and he may be able to guess their upside-down lives from these intertwined plots.

Will he hate himself.

Would he hate... Qiu Yuan, the little liar?

Xu Peck's index finger slid to the wall, wiped the dust all the way, and landed in an inconspicuous corner.

There's a little graffiti hidden there.

The boy who was occupied by him once squatted here and quietly drew a little duck with messy fluff for his beloved child.

Xu Peck is a real ugly duckling, but he is so cute in He Zhi's writing, and every stroke captures the young man's heartbeat and admiration.

But now He Zhi knows everything.

Xu Peck closed his eyes, and buried his face deeply into the crook of his knees unbearably.

What else does he have now.

Someone stood beside him.

His heart was beating wildly. When he raised his head and saw the boy standing against the light, Xu Peck almost thought he was hallucinating.

And He Zhi just looked down at him with a lackluster expression and didn't say a word, it might as well be a dream.

Xu Peck tugged at the corner of his mouth several times and still couldn't bring up a smile. He was silent for a while, then buried his head back again.

But at the moment when he gave up on himself and wanted to escape, He Zhi squatted down and raised his chin with his index finger.

He still didn't speak, but the close eyes were no longer against the sun, they were very bright, as if he had his own small universe.

Xu Peck was suddenly at a loss, and even wanted to back away.

He Zhi didn't hold back, and pinched his tender cheeks, a pinch made a mark.

"Fool." He Zhi was gnashing his teeth again.

Xu Peck panicked for a while, and subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry..."

He Zhi narrowed his eyes: "I'm sorry for what?"

Xu Peck hugged the arm at the bend of his leg tightly and tightly, looked away in a panic, and murmured: "I thought..."

"Thought I was going to abandon you." He Zhi answered angrily.

"..."

Xu Peck froze for a moment.

He Zhi looked at him, the silence in his eyes was like a deep pool under the moon, and he suddenly felt helpless tenderness.

In Xingsu's quiet room, half an hour ago, He Zhi straightened up from the wall he was leaning against, and smiled lazily.

"It doesn't matter if it is or not."

"It's good if it is, and I will take good care of him for the rest of my life. If it's not, it's even better. If I go down to see my parents in the future, I can be a little bit off by them."

"Whether it is or not, in this life, Xu Peck and Qiu Yuan are all mine. Only mine."

At this moment, squatting by the wall where he once had unrequited love, He Zhi stroked Xu Peck's soft forehead, his tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

"Choose you forever."

The little stutter that came with his purchase of a lighter.

"..."

The sunlight that couldn't be stopped by the walls finally jumped onto Xu Peck's curled eyelashes, and the hanging water drops couldn't bear the weight of the light, and slid straight down his cheeks along the tear holes.

What kind of person is He Zhi.

Kind of a good bad guy.

Who is Xu Peck.

Kind of a bad guy.

There are many people like them in this world, even if there is one He Zhi or Xu Peck missing, the earth will not change in any way.

But in the world of the two of them, convenience is everything.

"That wish."

Xu Peck trembled and made a sound.

The wish that He Zhi granted him.

He Zhi said "Mmm", and kissed his poor red nose with great pity.

"Yuanyuan have thought about it?"

Xu Peck nodded, hugged He Zhi's neck with red eyes.

He said seriously: "You can never leave me."
