I was attacked by the cubs raised

Chen Tingding stared at him for a long time, and then burst out laughing, and reached out to take out a cigarette from his pocket.

He lit the cigarette and took a puff: "Do you think I'll be angry because of this?"

Yan An just leaned against the wall and looked at him.

Chen Ci smiled slightly at him, his tone was still gentle: "Would you like one?"

Yan An: "I don't smoke."

Out of a certain psychology, he quickly added another sentence: "I don't like the smell of cigarettes, he quit long ago."

Chen Ci knew who Yan An was referring to as 'he', so he said, "Really?"

Yan An nodded.

Chen Ci sighed: "But he likes it——haven't you smelled the smoke on him?"

Yan An's expression froze for a moment, but soon regained his composure.Chen Ci captured this subtle change extremely keenly: "If you can pay attention, you can probably smell it. He and I are smoking the same brand."

To Chen Ci's surprise, Yan An didn't care about this matter, but said a little relaxedly: "It seems that he knows that I don't like it, so he specially deodorized it for me. But thank you for reminding me, I will warn him , After all, smoking too much is not good for the body."

Yan An didn't play his cards according to the routine, and was caught off guard by Chen Ci.When Li Qiu was admitted to the hospital due to his injuries, Yan An's words and deeds made him feel a little wrong. At that time, he only thought that the other party was just a momentary crush on his elder brother, and he didn't take it to heart. However, after so long, the child has grown into an adult. The desire for Li Qiu did not decrease but increased.

Chen Ci vaguely detected a trace of danger from Yan An.He always listened to his intuition, and quickly reviewed the few meetings he had with Yan An in his mind, and suddenly remembered that when he first met Yan An, the other party's attitude was already a bit intriguing.

On the one hand, Chen Ci was a little surprised by the fact that "Yan An had possessive desires for Li Qiu at least at that time", and on the other hand, he felt that his rival's intuition was more sensitive than his own - he admitted that at that time he was interested in Li Qiu. Li Qiu also has some good feelings.

However, his rival in love is only a half-grown child, which makes him feel a little complicated.Chen Ci thought about it, and tentatively said: "Actually, in the hospital that year, I felt that you treated him... a little differently, so, did it start from that time?"

Yan An asked back, "Why should I tell you?"

Before he knew it, or Yan An did it on purpose, he no longer called Chen Ci 'uncle', and the tone of the address became that of peers.Chen Ci hadn't seen Yan An very often, and suddenly found that the other party had turned into an adult - even taller than him.

Chen Cidao: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell your brother?"

Yan An shrank his hands, but his face was still indifferent: "Since I didn't intend to hide it from you, I also didn't intend to hide it from Li Qiu."

"Do you think he can really accept the love of a child raised by him?" Chen Ci sensed Yan An's paranoia, and he dared not take it lightly, so he pressed on every step of the way, "If I tell him now, I will The child you brought up has such thoughts about yourself, do you think he can live with you under the same roof without any grievances?"

Yan An shook his head: "You won't tell him."

Chen Ci smiled: "How do you know I can't?"

"Because if you really love him." Yan An said with a serious expression, almost saying every word, "you won't hit him again at this juncture."

Chen Ci paused.

In fact, for a moment, he wanted to find an opportunity to reveal these things to Li Qiu.Yan An was fledgling at this time, and according to what he knew about Li Qiu, the other party knew that Yan An had feelings for him that surpassed that of a brother, and most likely they would forcibly intervene to bring Yan An back on track.

However, he ignored Li Qiu's current state - relatives passed away one after another, and only his younger brother Zuo Nianxiang was by his side. Could he really stand such a blow?

Immediately, a more terrifying thought came up: Did Yan An fully grasp the situation, so he dared to reveal this in front of him so unscrupulously?

After a while, he said, "Yes, what you said is true."

But Chen Ci quickly caught the loophole in Yan An's words, and responded unceremoniously: "You also know that such feelings are a blow to your brother, if you really love him, why don't you make a break yourself, so as not to waste money?" Let your brother worry."

Yan An suddenly said: "If he won't know for the rest of his life, why should I kill myself?"

Chen Ci was stunned by the determination in Yan An's tone like a moth flying into a flame, and couldn't help asking: "Are you trying to hide it from him for the rest of your life?"

Chen Ci sighed, and had a new understanding of Yan An's paranoia: "I will never invest too much energy in a relationship that is destined to have no results."

Yan An said: "This is the difference between you and me."

Chen Ci didn't want to discuss with him on this issue and come to a conclusion: "Since you haven't told him what you think, please don't interfere too much with his relationship with others. After all, your brother, he will be with others sooner or later. Isn't it?"

It took Yan An a long time to reply this time: "...I don't know."

"He can marry a wife and have children, have his own family, and live a happy life. But if he can be with a man..." Yan An's voice was very low and soft, with a bit of caution and longing that he didn't even realize. "I wish that person could be me."

Chen Ci was completely speechless.He almost sighed: "You are crazy."

Yan An was noncommittal.

An eerie silence fell between the two of them.After a while, Yan An said: "So, it is impossible for me to give him to you."

"What do you think you can do to beat me?"

"You will never compare to my relationship with him. You lost."

Chen Ci didn't take it seriously: "He is indeed closer to you, but what about ten years later? His partner will occupy most of his life, and the reason why you can be so close to him is only because of the 'brother' between you." However, it is precisely for this reason that he treats you better than anyone else, but it can only be limited to this. And I don't care that he has a 'brother' who is closer than a lover."

Chen Ci bit the word 'brother' very hard, and successfully saw a significant change in the other party's expression.He didn't want to break the face with Yan An, and he had some appreciation for him, so he handed him a business card from his arms: "I have paid attention to you, you have a good overall quality, and you are a rare talent. Above This is my contact information, you can find me if you need it.”

He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, turned and went downstairs: "Then, don't bother me."

It wasn't until he walked down half a floor that Yan An stopped him and threw his business card to him: "I don't need your charity, and neither does Li Qiu."

Chen Ci caught it in the air, as if he knew he would say this: "I believe that one day you will go further than me, but now? After you paid for a course of treatment for Grandma Li, there are other money and Can the strength come to help Li Qiu?"

"you know?"

"It's not hard to find out." Chen Ciwen said, "Now it's not whether you want it, but Li Qiu can't."

He slowly disappeared from Yan An's sight.Yan An stared at the direction where Chen Ci was leaving, his chest heaved up and down, and after a long time, he gathered his emotions and walked towards the water room.

At the same time, in the ward.

Li Qiu actually couldn't fall asleep.I don't know why, during this period of time, he was obviously exhausted from running around and physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't feel like falling asleep at all.I don't know if it was because of the fall, but he felt extremely noisy around him, as if Li Lin and Xie Xingyu were talking next to him, or it seemed that the mourning music from the funeral a few days ago was playing intermittently.As a result, he recalled the past uncontrollably, and he was not in the mood to sleep.

Yan An knew that Li Qiu liked the dark, so he drew the curtains tightly when he left.Li Qiu was a little afraid of the dark at the moment, and couldn't help but want to get out of bed and open the curtains, Yan An came back.

He opened the door lightly and found that Li Qiu was still awake, he said in surprise: "Brother, don't you take a rest?"

"I can't sleep." Li Qiu said concisely, "It's just that you are here, please open the curtains for me."

Yan An didn't follow his words, but sat beside his bed: "Why don't you sleep for a while, I'll watch over you."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and squeezed Li Qiu's hand lightly.

Yan An's tone was soft, but there was a hint of refusal.Li Qiu didn't want to stay in the dark room at first, but when Yan An came, all the noisy sounds around him disappeared, and those troubles and pains were temporarily left behind by him, exhaustion gradually took over the whole consciousness, so Li Qiu Letting go, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the last rays of the setting sun outside shone on the wall through the curtains, and there was only the sound of the second hand ticking in the ward.Yan An also traveled all the way with him during this time, and now she is sleeping soundly lying beside his bed.Apart from him, Yan An was the only living creature left in the hospital bed. After staring at him for a while, he suddenly realized that he had been staring at Yan An for a long time, and could not help but curse secretly.

But after scolding, he still stared at Yan An unapologetically.When Li Qiu was in a daze just now, he looked at Yan An, but his eyes didn't fall into reality, but at this moment, he was completely looking at Yan An.Yan An has grown into an adult, with fine hair on his forehead and soft eyebrows.

So all the strange emotions that rose in Li Qiu's heart turned into tenderness, he wanted to reach out and rub Yan An's head, but he was afraid of waking Yan An up, so he gave up.

Li Qiu thought quietly for a while, his feet felt numb, so he moved.However, that slight movement woke Yan An up suddenly. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was concerned: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Li Qiu said dumbly: "It's okay, my feet are numb."

Yan An said 'ah': "Did I crush you?"

"No, I didn't move much myself."

Yan An stood up, lifted the quilt, grabbed Li Qiu's numb leg, and turned around: "Is it better?"

For some reason, Li Qiu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hummed indiscriminately as an answer.

Yan An supported his leg and turned it around for a while, then gave him a massage for a long time: "Brother Cheng Zi went to work, I'll buy you dinner tonight—what do you want to eat?"

Li Qiu originally wanted to say whatever he wanted, but looking into Yan An's eyes, the words on his lips changed to: "Eat... eat shredded pork with green peppers."

Yan An was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then a smile melted on his lips: "I think so too, let's go to Uncle Zhang to eat again some other day."

When mentioning Uncle Zhang, Li Qiu felt a little emotional: "When I first saw you, I was still a kid, and I was so anxious to eat fried rice... Now, I have learned to take care of others."

Yan An couldn't hold back his impulse, and answered quickly: "But after so many years, the most delicious thing in my heart is the fried rice with shredded pork and green peppers a few years ago."

Li Qiu glanced at him: "Okay, let's change the way to say that my cooking is unpalatable. I just remember your Uncle Zhang's food, brat."

Yan An stopped laughing, and his expression gradually became serious: "Actually, it's not that Uncle Zhang's cooking is so delicious... Maybe it's just because that day was the first time I was taken to eat by someone, and I didn't beat or scold me that day. Everything on the plate is mine...and you said, you want to take me home."

He stepped forward and hugged Li Qiu: "Brother, don't worry, as long as we have me and you, we still have a home."

☆, night kiss

It was difficult for Li Qiu to describe his mood at that moment.Until Yan An went out, he still couldn't get rid of that emotion completely, he only felt that he was a rootless duckweed, but suddenly he had a home.

Back then, he made an unintentional move to bring Yan An to be raised by his side because he was a troublesome person, but he never expected that after many years, there would be only such a supporter left by his side.

Yan An is at the critical moment of preparing for the college entrance examination. The Qingbei Class of No. [-] Middle School has extremely strict requirements, and almost no leave is given.Li Zhongjun regards Yan An as his favorite student, so he is naturally lenient towards him, but Yan An has asked for leave too many times these days, so Li Zhongjun only gave him three and a half days off, Yan An gave Li Qiu dinner and nothing else Time, had to rush to school to attend class.

Fortunately, Li Qiu did not fall, and his body recovered quickly. After a few days of recuperation in the hospital, he went through the discharge procedures, and he was able to go to work the next day.

It seems that everyone has a "darkest moment" in life - either life or death, or career failure... However, after getting through this hurdle, you will feel that the real world is surprisingly smooth.During this period of time, Li Qiu didn't go wrong at all, no matter whether it was work or the people around him, nothing happened to consume his energy.Chen Ci had a unique vision, and happened to be in Qiyang City's initial development opportunity period. He made a small profit by relying on the government's subsidies.

On the other hand, the web development that Chen Ci mainly invests in is also a booming and prosperous scene. This makes Chen Ci, who abandoned his father's aura and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship alone, feel very proud. The red envelope gave the core members of the development team two more days off.

After Li Qiu's busy work, everything at work is basically on the right track. There is nothing special to worry about, so he can enjoy the normal life of [-] to [-], and occasionally he can make some chicken soup and go to school to see Yan install.

It's funny to say that he and Yan An seem to be born to be busy, and there is a sense of "I will appear on the stage after you sing". When Li Qiu is so busy, Yan An can still spare time to accompany him, After Li Qiu was free, Yan An became that busy person who couldn't see the end.

Yan An was preparing for the model. During this time, he stayed in the classroom for self-study until the evening, even on weekends, and did not go home.Li Qiu didn't see him for two weeks, and then he went back to school to see Yan An almost whenever he was free.

However, Yan An didn't let him worry too much since he was a child. Whether it was daily life or study planning, he handled everything in an orderly manner.Li Qiu felt that he was not a competent elder brother. Yan An was a senior in high school, so he could only bring him something to eat and talk to him, in order to relieve Yan An's pressure and to improve his sense of existence as a big brother.

He occasionally went to see Li Lin.The cemetery is in the suburbs, not too far from Li Qiu's home, so every weekend when he is free to visit Yan An, he takes some time to sit in front of Li Lin's tomb, even if it's just for a cigarette.He often brings nuts to Li Lin——this project ended perfectly, everyone in the development team got a generous bonus, and Chen Ci refused to let Li Qiu use it to pay back the money, so he still has a surplus in his hand, even if he gave it every day. Li Lin can afford everything.

At the very beginning, Li Qiu sat here for a whole day, letting his thoughts go, watching the morning mist break and the sunset sinking.He also always brought two jugs of wine for Xie Xingyu, but almost every time he went there, he could see another serving of nuts and wine on the two closely linked tombstones.

He knew it was Xie Cheng, but Li Qiu hadn't seen him for a long time.Xie Cheng didn't know what he was busy with recently, Li Qiu occasionally called to check his situation, but the other party always hung up hastily after chatting for a few words.

Compared with work, Li Qiu's social circle is much narrower.Sometimes he went to see Yan An, sometimes walked and chatted with Chen Ci, and sometimes drank and talked with Xie Cheng who had disappeared for half a month——Xie Cheng suddenly realized the importance of studying, found a leisurely job, and enrolled in night school to prepare for the exam Adult college entrance examination.The days passed so plainly day by day, making people feel that sometimes life is so peaceful.

However, life always likes to suddenly give people a big club at such a time, and then say coldly: You think too much.

Just when Chen Ci found the first pot of gold on the Internet and was about to dig deeper into its value, the "portal era" was quietly collapsing, and the Internet industry was like a high-rise building that collapsed overnight.This has poured cold water on many enthusiastic entrepreneurs who want to make a big splash on the Internet, and it has also made the development of small and medium-sized enterprises like Chen Ci feel like walking on eggshells.

Fortunately, the real estate industry is still in good shape.Li Qiu also got busy now, helping Chen Ci to find a way out.High-level meetings were held one after another, except for Li Qiu, almost no one supported Chen Ci to continue to develop the Internet business.Chen Ci did not lose confidence in it because of the stagnation of the entire industry this time, but the huge loss caused problems in the company's internal operations.

Chen Ci had no choice but to catch the latest flight of the day and arrived in the imperial capital in the early morning.

Li Qiu didn't know what Chen Ci and his father talked about, but he only knew that Chen Ci returned to Qiyang after the third day out, exhausted all over, and at the same time, brought back a sum of money that was enough to support the entire company. financing through this crisis.

All in all, with this timely rain, coupled with the continuous profitability of the real estate, Chen Ci's company finally ushered in the dawn after persisting for half a year - the emergence of the "Monternet Project" successfully provided them with the transformation of their business model. In order to help and buffer, after experiencing this great change, the domestic Internet industry has finally stabilized.

At this time, Yan An has successfully participated in the college entrance examination after ten years of hard work.

The period when he was approaching the college entrance examination was the period when the company was gradually getting on the right track. Li Qiu couldn't stay with him all the time, so he could only call occasionally to ask about the situation, and he didn't dare to talk for too long—one was because of his own time. One was nervous, and the other was afraid of affecting Yan An's final sprint.

On the day of Yan An's college entrance examination, he still asked for leave and waited for him outside.According to Yan An's own words, he played very well this time, probably a little higher than usual.Li Qiu recalled his usual grades, and felt that Yan An was indeed a young student.

When he was young, he had to drop out of school to support his family due to the pressure of life, and he felt somewhat regretful. Now that Yan An is up to the challenge, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his youthful dream.

Yan An has been free since the college entrance examination.He doesn't like to socialize, he doesn't have too many dinner parties to go to, he only attended a class reunion and then returned home and didn't go out much, Li Qiu can see him every day.

Yan An basically went out to find Li Qiu, and Cheng Ran occasionally came to play with him and followed him.The little girl didn't know when she fell in love with him, and she was at an age where she couldn't hide anything in her heart. Sitting with Li Qiu and the others, her eyes were always quietly looking at Yan An, shining brightly and beautifully.Li Qiu took those small actions into consideration, but he didn't know if Yan An was too slow to understand Cheng Ran's thoughts at all.

Li Qiu sighed inwardly, and then felt it was funny—he has nowhere to go, so why worry about the children?

They have a long life ahead.

Thinking of this, Li Qiu felt a little sad again.When he was young, he only thought that he wanted to live a glamorous life in the future. As for how to get ahead, it was probably so that Li Lin could live in a spacious and bright house, so that he could read books all the time.When he was older, he wanted to give Li Lin a happy old age; later, he just wanted to have enough money to buy Li Lin's favorite food at all times... In the end, his wish was to be able to buy Li Lin the food that he liked. The block is near Xie Xingyu's tomb.

He also had a youthful period of lofty ambitions and ignorance of the heights of the sky and the earth, and he once imagined that he would do something to change the world. However, after years, his wishes became smaller and smaller in accordance with the reality, but he failed to realize them all.

In the past, his wish was always about Li Lin.For a long time, Li Qiu even felt that he was living for Li Lin - he wanted to repay his kindness, to repay Li Lin's kindness in nurturing him.

However, Yan An's appearance gave him a new meaning in the end—Yan An was still young at that time, and he relied on him wholeheartedly, and he couldn't live without him.

Li Qiu has never felt so intuitively that his own existence is so important to another person in this world.He almost quickly adapted to the role of the eldest brother, and was a little smug.

So, will I be relied on?

Such a strange feeling made him very excited.Therefore, in many difficult days, as long as he saw Yan An's face and heard his voice, Li Qiu could calm down and calmly face the thousands of winds and rains that reality gave him.

Later, Yan An grew up.Then, Li Qiu discovered that he had been trying to build a paradise for the one he loved all along, and the one who loved him had already grown up quietly, and silently built a safe haven for him.

Yan An always came to pick him up, and he never forgot to bring a bag of persimmons.Although Li Qiu doesn't know why Yan An always likes to buy this kind of persimmon, but it's not easy to please him, so he never mentions it.

Half a month after Yan An's summer vacation, his grades came out.After Li Qiu finished his work, he finally had the weekend, so he checked the score with Yan An.

The moment the phone was connected, Li Qiu couldn't hold back, and grabbed Yan An's arm tightly.

Yan An turned his head to look at Li Qiu, and patted Li Qiu's hand: "Brother, don't be nervous, trust me, no matter how bad it is, it won't go anywhere."

Seeing his complacent look, Li Qiu felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were not in a hurry, so he was not so nervous, and quietly listened to the score on the phone.

Yan An missed Tanhua by one point, but for Li Qiu, it was still an unreachable height.He was almost stunned in place for a long time before he digested this fact, and hugged Yan An fiercely.

Yan An was naturally very excited, and stretched out his arms to hug Li Qiu tightly, his heart beating fast.

Li Qiu slowed down and asked, "With your grade, can you go to Beijing University?"

Yan An said: "I think it can."

"Then go!" Li Qiu's eyebrows danced brightly, he was so excited that he couldn't tell the north from the south, and his madness was no different from that of Fan Jin, "It's promising...! Xiaoan! Our family also has a college student, and I will give grandma a face..."

Yan An took over Li Qiu's words in good time, and smiled at him with irresistible tenderness in his eyes: "The college student wants to invite his brother to a meal to celebrate, I don't know Mr. Li Qiu, who has so much to do, would you like it?" ?”

Li Qiu met that gaze, and his heart beat half a beat suddenly.

Then he laughed, raised his fist and lightly bumped Yan An's chest: "Then thank you Yan An first."

The two were casual, hit it off right away, went out to find a food stall, drank and chatted, and ate until midnight before returning home.After all, Yan An was still a student, so drunk, he leaned on Li Qiu's body and smiled happily.On weekdays, he thought of Li Qiu, and arranged everything properly, not to cause Li Qiu any trouble.However, after being drunk, he completely lost his usual maturity and stability. No matter how troublesome Li Qiu came, he was like a koala, wishing to rely on Li Qiu's hands and feet.Li Qiu finally managed to get that octopus-like hand off his body, and the other one couldn't wait to put it on: "Brother..."

"Brother, brother, let go of your pig's hoof."

Yan An is half a head taller than Li Qiu, taking advantage of his height to trap him in his arms, with his face pressed against Li Qiu's, his drunken eyes full of light, "Brother..."

He leaned closer and rubbed Li Qiu's face again and again: "Li Qiu...Li Qiu...I..."

Li Qiu was annoyed by him, seeing that there were still two blocks to go home, he couldn't help throwing Yan An against the wall: "Be honest!"

Yan An let out a "huh" and looked at him inexplicably.

Li Qiu carried him all the way, and was tortured for a long time, and he felt a little impatient: "The wine is not good, what are you doing with so much wine, this is not just tormenting your brother and me... eh!!"

——Yan An was so drunk that he couldn't stand steadily. He took half a step forward and fell into Li Qiu's arms.

He was not very clear-headed, but instinctively scratched his hands to find a fulcrum, his head moved restlessly, and accidentally blocked Li Qiu's lips.

He was drunk, but Li Qiu was not.There is a soft touch from the lips that I have never felt in this life, like a piece of soft glutinous sugar cake, fragrant and sweet.

Li Qiu looked at Yan An's face that was close at hand, his eyes almost widened.His heart beat wildly, and without waiting for his brain to react, he raised his hand and pushed Yan An away violently.He was flustered in his heart, and he used [-]% of his strength this time, Yan An only staggered two steps, but he himself was a little unsteady, and his center of gravity leaned back.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Yan An rushed over.The force was too strong, although it prevented him from falling, it pushed the two of them to the other side of the wall.

Yan An's entire body was almost on Li Qiu's body.He leaned against Li Qiu, and Li Qiu clung to the corner of the wall, forming an extremely cramped space for a moment.Li Qiu cursed the drunkard in a low voice, and was about to push Yan An away, and inadvertently looked into Yan An's eyes.

Yan An's eyes were full of madness, and there were many emotions he couldn't understand.Li Qiu was taken aback by that gaze, and his movements froze for a while, so the other party couldn't help but lean over, forcefully pushed him against the wall, and kissed Li Qiu's lips again.
