Stupid, you are the substitute!

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Liu left early and went home for the festival.

If he didn't get up and see the house where he was alone, Chi Qiu would not be able to remember what day it is.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you think about it or not, it's been a long time since the Mid-Autumn Festival.But he can not have festivals, but his stomach cannot be empty.

Chi Qiu wasn't in the mood to cook, so he remembered that there were mooncakes in the refrigerator that he made a few days ago, so he packed a few, put them in the microwave to heat up, and made a cup of tea.

But for some reason, when he brought out the mooncakes, he was distracted, forgot to wear gloves, and his fingers directly touched the hot edge of the plate. When he subconsciously let go, the plate shattered and the mooncakes rolled all over the floor.

Chi Qiu was startled, subconsciously took a step back, just in time to touch the teacup, the whole cup of tea was overturned and poured on the back of his hand.

Chi Qiu was completely awake now, quickly turned on the water, and rinsed his hands with cold water.

The phone rang again inappropriately at this moment.

Chi Qiu frowned, his heart tightened, he disposed of the garbage neatly, made a casual gesture, and went over to answer the phone.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Chi Qiu?" asked the female voice opposite, like a machine executing cold instructions.

"Yes." Chi Qiu replied.

"This is the El Nursing Home. Ms. Meng Shuang is critically ill. Is it convenient for you to come over now?"

In an instant, the tense beads in my heart finally broke, crackling and messy.

------

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, people from all walks of life gathered in groups of threes and twos, chatting happily.

Only Qin Yan was alone, a little uneasy.The light at the banquet was very warm, making him even more eye-catching. Several times someone came to try to strike up a conversation, but seeing his cold expression, they had no choice but to retreat.

Qin Yan's heart was not very calm, as if he had a premonition of what was going to happen, and he felt an indescribable irritability.

Inexplicably, he saw the scene of the day when Chi Qiu came to the company to look for him.

To be honest, there is no wavering in his heart that is fake.

The mooncake was left intact in the office, and he hasn't opened it up until now.

He dared not look.

He arranged treatment for Chi Qiu, and Chi Qiu would do something in return.

Chi Qiu is the best at this kind of check and balance.

But he doesn't want that in return.

Chi Qiu was unwilling to give what he wanted.

Qin Yan tilted the red wine glass a little annoyedly, circling the mouth of the glass with his fingers.

This brief tranquility didn't last long, when a familiar voice came from behind Qin Yan, "Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Without turning his head, he knew it was Luo Yang.He and Luo Yang's family are family friends, when they met when they were young, they would quarrel, for some reason, after he returned to Qin's family, the relationship was much better than when he was a child.

Luo Yang went around the sofa and sat across from Qin Yan, "But there's really no need to go out right now, the big shot is still behind."

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner this time was hosted by Luo Yang's family. Although the two families were family friends, they both started as businessmen, but in Luo Yang's father's generation, the Luo family and the political circles had a relationship, and now they can be regarded as mixed. It's booming.

This time, the purpose of Qin Yan's visit was a politician who had a good relationship with the Luo family, and the public opinion about the scandal of the company's shareholders was a wake-up call to him.

Luo Yang glanced at his watch, "It's almost time, let's go out?"

Qin Yan didn't speak, put the red wine glass in front of him and poured it towards the opposite side, then drank it down in one gulp, got up and went to the middle.

But as soon as he got up, Qin Yan saw Wen Yao approaching him from a distance, with an unusual look on his face.

So he stopped and said to Wen Yao, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Chi's adoptive mother is critically ill."

Qin Yan's face immediately darkened, "Where's Chi Qiu?"

"On the way to the nursing home."

"Hey...Qin Yan, why are you going!" Luo Yang looked at the two people who were leaving quickly, confused.

------

It was too hasty to get out, Chi Qiu was only wearing a thin hoodie, the taxi driver went the wrong way, he got out of the car and walked the last few hundred meters by himself, when the autumn wind blew, his hands were shaking.

But his back was still straight and he walked slowly alone.

When the door of the ward was opened, there were only a doctor and a nurse in the room, and Meng Shuang, who was sickly on the bed.But within a few months, the hair of the person on the bed had turned gray, and he was so skinny that he was tucked up in the sheets like a piece of dead grass.

"Are you here to see Ms. Meng Shuang?" the nurse asked.

Chi Qiu took a breath, looked at the figure on the bed in a daze for a long time, and finally managed to utter a word: "Yes."

The nurse hesitated to speak, and from her expression, it could be seen that Meng Shuang's condition was not good.

Hearing his voice, Meng Shuang slowly raised her heavy eyelids, and said in a voice so weak that she could barely hear, "Let him come over."

Chi Qiu stepped forward, but the closer he got, the lower the air pressure around him became.

Compared with the last time, Meng Shuang in front of her was almost ten years older, and she was not angry at all.

"I... really didn't expect... the last person I'll see in this life is actually you..." Meng Shuang began to smile, and her whole face began to wrinkle together. In the end, her cloudy eyes were moist stand up.

Logically speaking, he only hated the person in front of him, but for some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt a little pitiful for her.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Chi Qiu almost looked at her with pity.

Xu Shi returned to the light, Meng Shuang propped up a little, looked at him and said, "What do you want to hear? To hear the confession of a dying person? Or do you want to hear me regretting what happened back then, I shouldn't have hurt you parents?"

"You don't deserve to mention them."

Meng Shuang didn't come up in one breath, and started to cough violently. After she calmed down, she gasped and said unwillingly: "My husband has a picture of your mother on him all the year round. Even when the high fever persists, he calls your mother." What do you think if it's your name?"

Chi Qiuyin held back his anger, "So you want revenge?"

Meng Shuang was stunned for a long time, and breathlessly said: "I... just let someone hand over a leaflet, and later asked him to cheat the insurance... It's not me."

"Shut up!" Chi Qiu clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he almost growled.

A usury/loan leaflet pushed his whole family to hell, and he even died of both parents because of it, but the culprit had no guilt at all.

When the atmosphere was tense, Meng Shuang suddenly raised her pale fingers tremblingly towards the door, "Who's here?"

Chi Qiu turned his head to look, and the transparent panel on the door could see a person standing outside, but he could only see his clean chin and neat tie.

The nurse went over and opened the door.The people who came here were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they were full of travel and dust.

Chi Qiu's eyes froze for a moment, he really didn't expect to see Qin Yan in such a scene, the other party seemed to have just arrived, and a small leaf was rubbed on his brand new leather shoes.

Qin Yan originally wanted to confirm Chi Qiu's condition, worried that he would be too sad, but he didn't expect someone to open the door for him.Seeing that Chi Qiu saw him, he didn't deliberately avoid it, he walked in openly, glanced at Chi Qiu, and nodded to the person on the bed.

Meng Shuang's eyes froze suddenly, her voice was so choked up that she could hardly speak, "Shi Qian...you're back..."

Chi Qiu interrupted immediately, with a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "This is the president of the Qin Group, Qin Yan."

Meng Shuang was stunned, as if unwilling, her eyes wandered around Qin Yan's body for a long time, and finally reached out her hand as if trying to grab something, but in the end, she just fell heavily on the bed.

As if she had exhausted her last ounce of strength, she said lightly, "In this life, the only thing I'm sorry for is Shi Qian and you."

The fluctuating curve on the heartbeat monitor stopped and eventually subsided into a straight line.

The suppressed low air pressure was completely released at this moment, Chi Qiu suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe, and before his consciousness collapsed, he was wrapped into a clean and warm embrace.

------

At the entrance of the convenience store outside the nursing home, Chi Qiu was sitting on a wooden chair with a sleepy expression, like a broken doll covered in cold light.

Qin Yan was by Chi Qiu's side, but he didn't know how to comfort her, but Chi Qiu's condition was many times better than he thought, so he didn't think too much about it, and only attributed the reason to not being his biological mother.

"Qin Yan." Chi Qiu said suddenly, his voice muffled.

Qin Yan couldn't hold back, patted his head, and said patiently: "What's wrong?"

Chi Qiu looked at him for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Qin Yan paused, finally said nothing, got up and went into the convenience store, a few minutes later, he brought back cigarettes and a lighter.

Chi Qiu took the cigarette, took one and put it in his mouth, without moving, just looking at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan understood what he meant, and without hesitation, flicked off the lighter cover, slid the switch, protected it with one hand, and sent it to his mouth with the other.

The flames reflected Chi Qiu's face clearly, his eyelashes fluttered non-stop, very obedient.

Chi Qiu took a puff of cigarette and looked up at the sky. Tonight's moon is very round, but there are few stars around, making the moon look lonely. Looking a bit deserted, he said coldly: "You are not at home for the holidays, why are you here?"

"I have no idea about these festivals." Qin Yan also lit a cigarette.

Chi Qiu suddenly remembered that the relationship between Qin Yan and his family didn't seem to be very good, so he didn't ask questions, but just smoked quietly.

"Give me your right hand."

"Huh?" Chi Qiu was a little puzzled, but he still switched the cigarette to his left hand and obediently stretched out his right hand.

Qin Yan glanced at him, took out an ointment and a bag of cotton swabs from the cigarette bag just now, and then pressed his palm, revealing the back of his hand that was burned. Fortunately, it was treated in time, no blisters and festering, just red A large piece.

"What's going on?" Although Qin Yan frowned, his tone was coaxing.

Chi Qiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but the other party seemed to see through his thoughts, and pressed tighter, "It's just a burn, it's fine."

Qin Yan didn't say anything, and didn't care whether it was a minor injury or not. He lowered his head and took out a cotton swab to stick some medicine on it, and gently wiped his wound with tender eyes.

Chi Qiu's nose was sour, and he felt an indescribable feeling.

Even if no one cares about such a small injury, it will heal automatically within two days at most.He has long been used to hiding his wounds, and no one cares about them anyway.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that it was okay to be hypocritical.

"Who is Shi Qian?" Qin Yan asked casually, looking down at him with deep eyes.

Chi Qiu's hand holding the cigarette stopped, and the ash fell on the tiger's mouth. It hurt slightly, but he didn't seem to feel it.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he first entered Qin's house when he was a child, and Qin Shi walked towards him with a slight smile.

The side I saw for the first time was too amazing, so amazing that it made the later ending seem unsatisfactory.

Chi Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and now all the amazement has been silenced, in his eyes, there is only the scene of Qin Yan lowering his head and rubbing the medicine for him.

He originally thought that he would guard those memories, huddled in his shell all his life and licked his wounds, but he didn't know when, the picture became blurred, and he was full of cherished memories. At this moment, with the moonlight in front of him, It shattered into stars, fell on the shoulders of the two, and finally disappeared.

Chi Qiu took a deep breath, with long eyes, as if letting go of something, but he didn't miss it, "He is my elder brother, to be precise, the son of my adoptive parents."
