The originally planned 43-storey residential building had its capital chain broken on the eve of its capping, and the progress of the building was completely stopped at the 28-storey building. This stop lasted for three years and became a "ghost building" in the bustling business district.

Wei Lingsu was carried up to the 16th floor by Qian Yi. The unfinished building didn't even have walls, and the 16th floor was full of strong winds that passed through the walls. Qian Yi took off his coat and put it on for him to keep him from freezing.

"What did you bring me here for?" Wei Ling asked.He was hungry and cold, there was nothing here, he could see the end at a glance, he really didn't understand the significance of Qian Yi bringing him here.

He looked at it quietly for a long time, and said in the cold wind, "This is my home."

"What?" Wei Lingsu suspected that he didn't hear clearly.

Qian Yi turned around, in the dim light, there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes, he looked at Wei Lingsu, and repeated it earnestly: "Here, where you are standing, Huating Residence 1603 , it should have been my home three years ago."

"My father is a music teacher. Seven years ago, he took out his life savings and borrowed 200 million yuan from the bank to buy this place. He was diagnosed with cancer after paying the interest for three years. He planned to sell the developer's funds for treatment. The chain is broken, it can’t be sold, it’s completely unfinished, and the loan has to be repaid, so he just..." Qian Yi paused, and continued, "Before my father left, he asked me to carry him to 1603, just He sat here for a whole afternoon. He didn't do anything all afternoon, just sat here, from daytime to early morning."

Qian Yi was standing on the edge of the 16th floor. Below was the bustling commercial area. At this time, the lights were just coming on. Looking from a height, it looked like the ground was lit with flames.

If nothing happened, this should be his home, and the place where he was standing would have been his living room.

Wei Lingsu didn't know what to say, he limped forward and gently put his arm on Qian Yi's shoulder.

"Sometimes I also regret it. If I could grow up earlier and be more sensible, even if I reminded my father to have a medical examination in time a few years earlier, or persuaded him not to buy a house here, would it not be like this in the end."

Qian Yi looked at the firelight in the business district, he looked at Qian Yi, and with extreme concentration, the lights on the ground floor were wiped blurred, like an ignition that was about to be extinguished by the cold wind.

"Actually, a family is more fragile than you think. It is like a flame in a strong wind. It cannot withstand any storms. It also requires everyone in the family to extend their hands to care for this flame."

The light from the busy traffic was reflected in Qian Yi's eyes, and he said in a daze, "—while the fire is still alive."

The atmosphere was stalemate and silent, only the whistling wind remained in the unfinished building.

Wei Lingfu pursed his lips tightly, but the other party seemed to see through his mind, and gave him an option first: "I know it is easy to escape, but it is difficult to face it. I will give you two choices. First, if you choose Don't go back, don't communicate, don't want to solve the problem, as an older brother, I will still accept you and bear your emotions."

Wei Lingfu was a little happy just now, when Qian Yi changed the subject: "But that's all. I won't care about the conflicts and frictions that will arise in the future."

Wei Lingfu lowered his head for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Then, what about another option?"

"Another option, I'll take you home."

Wei Ling was completely discouraged, and then he heard Qian Yi say: "But I will also find good people to help you testify and smooth things over. If you lack the courage to face it and worry about the consequences, I will always send you back to the gate. , waiting for you outside the door, I will not leave until I confirm that you have no problem. Of course, if your family loses control of their emotions, I will take you away immediately."

Wei Lingsu kicked a small stone by his feet listlessly.

"Moreover, if there are further conflicts due to my handling, I will be responsible to the end."

Wei Ling's expression changed slightly when he heard the words.

"So, you don't have to be afraid." Qian Yi turned around, with his back to the light, and the thick shadow gently covered Wei Lingsu, "No matter what, I will support you."

The bicycle was parked one block away from Wei Lingsu's house.He tugged at the corner of Qian Yi's clothes, and signaled that his family had to walk another 500 meters.

"I know." Qian Yi propped the bicycle against the wall, leaned lazily on the body, pulled out her phone to confirm the message, "I came here to wait for someone."

"Here? No one lives here, right?"

This is the core of the core of the city, and there are only a handful of residents who can afford a small western-style building with a yard.The neighbors nearby either had business dealings or were acquainted with each other, but Wei Lingsu had never seen anyone come in or out of this family.

"Yes." Qian Yi smiled, "He just doesn't go out often."

There was a heavy knock on the door in the hidden courtyard and woods, it seemed that people really lived here.Judging from the sound of footsteps passing through the woods, the courtyard of this house is much larger than expected.

Not long after, the iron gate beside them moved open, and a person stepped out of it.

Wei Lingsu looked at him curiously.

This person was about the same age as Qian Yi, tall and thin, with slightly curly middle hair just past his eyebrows, gloomy and pale as if he hadn't seen the sun in decades, he looked like someone who walked out of an oil painting.

After this person went out, he glanced at Qian Yi calmly and didn't say a word, he seemed completely unfamiliar with Qian Yi.

Qian Yi didn't mind his attitude, and introduced to him with a smile: "This is the Wei Lingsu I told you about. Wei Lingsu, this is Ye Cike. Your mother will call the studio to verify it last night. He was the one who saved me. Today, you're going to use him as a cover."

Qian Yi led Wei Lingsu and Ye Cike to testify.

The two agreed that Wei Lingsu stayed at Ye Cike's house a few hundred meters away as soon as he went out last night, and Ye Cike took him home after he figured it out today.The details of the string of words are specific to the decoration of Ye Cike's house, accommodation, and what topics the two talked about, and the details are seamless.

During the process, Qian Yi was almost talking alone, while Ye Cike stood silently by the side, only occasionally nodding in approval.

May be flawed?Or not very good at talking?Wei Lingsu felt a little sympathy in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Cike's eyes turned to him, and his voice was calm and steady: "Have you remembered everything?"

Wei Lingsu didn't expect him to speak suddenly, and was slightly taken aback, but he suppressed the panic immediately: "Remember."

Ye Cike hummed lightly: "Let's check it out first."

While focusing on the details, Ye Cike also enriched and perfected some background settings, such as when the two met, why they met Ye Cike and never told the family, etc. The details are not like colluding confessions, but rather perfecting a story.

Qian Yi whispered beside him: "I think this person is reliable. And, I think, he will be the type your mother likes."

Wei Ling told him to look at him. He was tall, thin, refreshing, with a good temperament, and looked very stable. If he did well in his studies, Mrs. Wei might decide that the two of them would become good friends.

After the settings were supplemented, Ye Cike took him again and checked the details twice from the beginning.After he finished the obsessive-compulsive checking, Qian Yi pushed the bicycle and sent Wei Lingsu home with Ye Cike.

As he got closer to home, Wei Lingsu's face became paler, and he visibly became nervous. When he was approaching the gate, Qian Yi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, which made Wei Lingsu's shoulder tremble.

"Don't be nervous." Qian Yi patted him on the shoulder to make him relax, "If you're really worried, you don't talk, and leave it to Ye Cike."

Wei Lingsu raised his face to look at him, his watery pupils begged slightly: "Qian Yi, can you... can you come in with me?"

"I really want to, but it would be counterproductive for me to go." Qian Yi patiently said to him, "However, I will wait for you outside the gate. If there is any problem, I will definitely take you away as soon as possible."

When Qian Yi waved goodbye to him, Wei Lingsu turned his head every step of the way, but when the doorbell rang, Wei Lingfu straightened his back slightly, and instantly regained the appearance of a proud and noble young master.

Qian Yi stood on the opposite street corner, watching Wei Lingsu and Ye Cike enter the courtyard from a distance.

Before they reached the door, the door suddenly opened. Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment at the door, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, but she reacted quickly, stepped forward quickly, and hugged Wei Lingsu.

Judging by Mrs. Wei's reaction, it is likely to be done.Qian Yi turned the faucet of the bicycle, with Gerardoni's balloon tied to the back seat, and rode leisurely to the orphanage.

The good mood lasted until I left the orphanage.

Just as Qian Yi turned the last street corner, she saw the people standing outside the orphanage, and the bicycle under her feet stopped abruptly.

A man in a black jacket and a peaked cap was standing outside the courtyard. Judging from the number of cigarette butts under his feet, this man had been standing outside the courtyard for at least half a day.

Qian Yi stood still at the spot for a few seconds, then lightly stepped back, walked back silently, and made a full three-way detour to confirm that the person had completely left before entering the orphanage through the back door.

He had just pushed the bicycle into the yard gate, when the back door of the kitchen creaked open, Qingming saw the balloon on his back seat, and his eyes lit up: "Gerardoni! Give me, give me!"

Every time Qian Yi came back from work, she would always bring some small gifts with her, but today, before Qing Ming pounced on her, Qian Yi untied the balloon first: "This one won't work. This one belongs to someone else."

Qingming was rolling around asking why, but Lixia stood quietly at the back door, asking softly, "Isn't he coming back together?"

Qian Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li Xia was asking about Wei Lingsu.He shook his head: "He's home."

"Let me just say it!" Qingming looked at Lixia showing off, "It's impossible for him to live here. Lixia has been worried today, afraid that he will live here completely."

"How is this possible?" Qian Yi said casually.

"Because you seem to like him very much." Li Xia replied.

"Is there?" Qian Yi took the two of them and walked in, "Which one of you I don't like?"

After a few steps, Qian Yi's cell phone rang, and he took out his old flip phone, it was a number that hadn't been saved.

"You guys go in first, I'll answer the phone." Qian Yi pushed the two of them into the living room, and closed the door leading to the kitchen from the living room. Just as the door was about to close, an extremely gentle sentence leaked out: "...know , of course I can guess it's you. Is everything going well..."

Standing outside the kitchen door, Li Xia saw Qian Yi casually playing with the colorful balloon string through the perspective window, with an extremely gentle smile on her face, as if she was teasing a soft and cute little animal.

He didn't even need to look at the phone number, he could guess that Wei Lingsu was on the other side of the phone.Only when facing Wei Lingsu, would Qian Yi show such a relaxed and gentle smile.

Li Xia hugged the bear in his arms tightly, it was brought back by Qian Yi from working last time.

"And said you don't like him." He murmured to himself.
