extinguish the stars

In the early hours of the morning, a car drove to the gate of the villa and stopped suddenly.

Jiang Qi got out of the car and drove for seven hours straight. The moment he stepped on the ground, he could hardly stand still.The yard was brightly lit, and he hurried into it.Only then did he notice that Gu Qinghan's car was actually parked in the parking space.

He was full of doubts and uneasiness, his feet were weak, and he pushed open the door of the hall in panic, and saw Gu Nian crying heart-piercingly on the sofa at a glance.The kid's face was flushed red, his thick eyelashes were drenched with tears, he huddled into a small ball in the corner, refusing anyone to approach him, Jiang He was at a loss when he wanted to hug him, but he ran away crying.It was futile for the aunt to rush to pour milk powder and pass it over in a panic.Li Ergou squatted beside him dejectedly, and occasionally moved his head forward to flatter him, but he didn't get any response from the child, so he could only whine in resentment.

Jiang Qi was chilled all over, even though it was cloudy at the moment, he ran towards Gu Nian immediately.Li Ergou found him first, and went to meet him excitedly.

"Near!"

"Brother, what's going on?" He anxiously knelt down in front of Gu Nian, held the trembling hand of the child, looked around but couldn't see Gu Qinghan, "Where's Gu Qinghan?!"

"He's not here." Jiang He was also quite worried at this time, "He left the child yesterday afternoon..."

Jiang Qi looked at him puzzled.

But Gu Nian cried even more, Jiang Qi didn't have time to think about it, and tried to hug the broken child into his arms.

"Nian Nian, Nian Nian, be good, I am Uncle Jiang Qi...Nian Nian look at me..." He hugged the struggling child tightly, and kept stroking his trembling back, "Nian Nian, don't be afraid... "

Gu Nian kicked and struggled in his arms, tears and snot all over his body, and it took him a long time to calm down slowly under his constant comfort, clutching his clothes and sobbing softly.

"Don't be afraid, baby, don't be afraid..." Jiang Qi's heart was like a knife, and his voice trembled a little.Jiang He frowned, his face was indescribably solemn and worried. He stretched out his hand empty, then retracted it and clenched it silently.

"I want Daddy... Daddy..." The child cried weakly, leaning on Jiang Qi's shoulder and sobbing aggrievedly.

"Be good, baby. Uncle will take you to find daddy..." Jiang Qi comforted him, and looked at Jiang He, only to see that he frowned and shook his head slightly.

The child was tired from crying, was gently patted on the back in the familiar embrace, and gradually fell asleep, but still often twitched lightly in his sleep, which made people feel extremely distressed.

"Brother?" Only now was Jiang Qi able to ask Jiang He an answer, "You said you wouldn't take Nian Nian away from him by force."

Jiang He breathed out exhaustedly, and rubbed his sore eyes, "I didn't do that. He voluntarily returned Nian Nian to me."

Jiang Qi shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible." He saw everything and knew how much Gu Qinghan loved and cherished this child.How could you be willing to give up.

"I didn't lie to you." Jiang He looked into his eyes seriously.

Jiang Qi and him stared at each other in silence for a long time, then took out his phone in a panic.

"You can't reach him," Jiang He interrupted him, "I called his cell phone and it was turned off."

Jiang Qi turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to dial Gu Qinghan's number without giving up, as Jiang He said.

"What did he say when he came?" Jiang Qi felt chills in his heart.

Jiang He's eyes dimmed, remembering how Gu Qinghan came yesterday afternoon.

He looked very bad, his face was as cold as snow, and there was no blood on his lips.Jiang He had an illusion that he might barely even be able to stand.

"Mr. Jiang, you are right. I may really not be able to take good care of Niannian anymore. Today I hand him over to you, please love him wholeheartedly and accompany him to grow up forever, not only because he is your child, but also Yan Jin is willing to exchange his life for a treasure."

His eyes dimmed as he said these words.

"Why..." Jiang Qi murmured, if it wasn't for Gu Nian still in his arms, he could hardly sit still.

"He also brought these." Jiang He greeted his aunt, and took a stack of documents to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi took over, and the entry point was the property transfer procedures, one set was in Linjiang Garden opposite him in this city, and the other two sets were in City A, which were the old houses of Gu Qinghan and Yan Jin.He turned back and found that all assets were liquidated and also left to Gu Nian, two passbooks and a few bank cards, including Gu Qinghan's car.

Jiang Qi stared at Gu Qinghan's signature, the anxiety in his heart expanded to the extreme, his chest heaved messily, and the hands holding these materials were trembling.

what happened?

What does Gu Qinghan mean?

What does he want to do?

Jiang Qi had difficulty breathing, and felt numbness from his back to the back of his head.He sent the little friend to the bed in despair. In the bedroom, he saw Gu Nian's usual milk bottle and storybook on the low table, his favorite bear on the bedside, and two suitcases behind the door, Jiang Qi Qingbai Opening it with a straight face, there are all kinds of small clothes of Gu Nian inside.

Almost all the things he has seen related to Gu Nian in his memory have been sent here by Gu Qinghan.Jiang Qi felt his hands and feet were cold, and he felt that Gu Qinghan had made a neat subtraction in his own life, subtracting all the members of the Jiang family.

"Jiang Qi!" Jiang He asked his aunt to make him a tonic soup, and saw Jiang Qi strode out of Gu Nian's bedroom with an extremely gloomy expression on his face, he hurried out without looking at Jiang He.

"where are you going?"

"Find him."

Before dawn, Jiang Qi was completely chilled by the cold wind. He sat back in the car and started the car, driving straight to Linjiang Garden.On the way, he called Gu Qinghan's cell phone over and over again, until finally he was so anxious that he thumped the steering wheel heavily.

The street lamps receded in the car window one by one, and the light was continuous and blurred. He suddenly remembered the night when he found out about Gu Nian's life and went to find Gu Qinghan. Please trouble her, thank her for taking care of her... Has Gu Qinghan made today's decision since then?Afterwards, I said to give him some time, but I simply didn't want to push any more. Even his gentle and shallow kiss on the night of parting, thinking about it now, I think it was full of farewell.

Gu Qinghan...you want to stay away from me that much?Give up on me once four years ago, and still avoid me four years later?What on earth are you thinking?

Jiang Qi felt sore when he was angry, his eyes were dry, and he held the steering wheel tightly and stared ahead.

From the elevator, he rushed straight to Gu Qinghan's door, angrily ringing the doorbell one after another, but as expected, there was no response.

"Gu Qinghan! Open the door! Open the door for me!" Jiang Qi slammed the door repeatedly, but there was a dead silence on the other side of the door. He knocked on the door unwillingly for a long time before taking a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down.

After standing blankly for a few minutes, he suddenly remembered something and rushed to the elevator again.

Twenty minutes later, a man with a gloomy face rushed in from the emergency department of the hospital.He searched for a moment among several busy doctors and nurses, and grabbed Ning Ze's arm.

Ning Ze was writing his medical records, and he was taken aback when he was suddenly caught. He raised his head and saw Mr. Jiang, who was usually calm and handsome, with a gray face and disheveled hair, and a pair of bloodshot eyes. He was very panicked. .

"...?"

"Doctor Ning..." Jiang Qi almost coughed out his dry throat, "Where's Gu Qinghan? Is he here?"

"Qinghan?" Ning Ze frowned suspiciously, "He resigned, don't you know?"

Jiang Qi's heart felt as if he had been punched again. He slowly let go of his hand and asked with difficulty, "Did you resign... when?"

Ning Ze also felt something was wrong, but he still answered truthfully, "Just two days ago."

Jiang Qi felt that he was very heavy from head to toe, and he tried his best to drag his body with every step he took.But his mind was very empty, and under extreme fatigue, he couldn't think about anything.

He sat down in a daze at the entrance of the hospital lobby, trying to wake himself up in the cold and biting wind of the early morning.He stared blankly at the artificial lake glowing faintly under the street lights, and remembered Gu Qinghan who jumped into the water to find the ring that day.

——Who is he thinking about?Is it Yan Jin who put on the wedding ring with him, or is it me he chased after to a foreign country?

Jiang Qi's brain was in chaos. He hugged his aching head and panted heavily.

But after all, he still grasped a glimmer of light from the chaos, thinking, I must ask him personally, even if it is not the answer I want, I want him to stay by my side.

Gu Nian fell ill at dawn, with a low-grade fever and was dizzy, so Jiang He hugged him and accompanied him on an IV drip.

Jiang He's brows had never been relieved, he thought, it's good to sleep like this, so that he won't cry heart-piercingly like a few hours ago, making people's heart break apart.

Jiang Qi came and sat for a while, then shook the child's hand and got up to leave.

"Where can I find it?" Jiang He asked him.

He shook his head slightly, but still walked out.

In fact, he was also full of panic. He drove along the road one by one, and every time he passed an intersection, every crowd looked hopelessly.Until the evening, when the twilight was sinking, the lights in the city lit up into a starry sky.

When Jiang Qi returned to the house in Linjiang Garden, he opened the door exhausted physically and mentally.He never changed the combination lock, so he could only find the key in his pocket for a long time but couldn't find it.

The elevator suddenly rang, and Jiang Qi looked back subconsciously, only to see a takeaway boy walking out, looking up at the house number, and then stopped in front of Gu Qinghan's door behind Jiang Qi and rang the bell.

Jiang Qi suddenly cleared the Lingtai.He held his breath and looked at the opposite door. After a long time, he stretched out a pale and thin hand and took the bag from the younger brother's hand.

After the little brother left, the door was closed again, but the force of the person closing the door was not strong enough, and the door could not be locked. Once the draft passed, it opened a crack.

Jiang Qi felt his heart was about to jump out, he took a few deep breaths, and then stepped forward to open the door and walked in.
