After amnesia, monopolized by paranoia

Chapter 17: Being Adopted 1 Is It Better Than Being Homeless?

"Hey, wait a minute!" Qi Rang stopped Shiba's aunt who wanted to drive away, and ran over in two or three steps.

Shiba bypassed her aunt, threw herself at Qi Rang's feet and started yelling, rubbing Qi Rang's legs back and forth while yelling.

Qi Rang was so rubbed that his heart softened, he knelt down and asked Shiba: "Why did you come back with me?"

Shiba was still meowing, as if pestering Qi Rang to take him back and raise him.

Qi Rang let out a long sigh: "I really want to raise you, but my brother doesn't like you... Don't just meow, you should also find a way to get my brother to agree to raise you, huh?"

"As long as you show half of your enthusiasm for me, next time you see my brother, you will rub him like this..."

Before he finished speaking, the aunt suddenly began to persuade him: "Mr. Xiao, you can't do this."

"Huh? Why?"

"Mr. Qi hates furry animals very much. If he is suddenly rubbed by a cat, he may get angry."

Qi Rang was shocked: "So he hates furry animals, not just cats?"

"Yes, when Mr. Qi was looking for someone, he said that he hated furry animals and asked that no pets be kept at home."

"And you know why he hates furry animals?"

"This..." Auntie shook her head, "I don't know."

Qi Rang glanced at Shiba in embarrassment, "Then what should I do? It has followed me back, now drive it away, it may not find its way back."

He has only heard that dogs are very good at knowing the way, but he has never heard that cats can remember the way back from a long distance.

After a moment of silence, the aunt suggested, "Why don't you send it back?"

"It's too late, brother will be back soon."

"Or you could just leave it at the door, it's just a stray cat anyway."

"How about that? It came back with me because it believed in me, and just threw it outside. I'm worried..."

After thinking about it, it seems that it is more reliable to just keep it under my nose for a day, and send Shiba back in person tomorrow.

Qi Rang told his aunt about this idea, but the aunt was still a little hesitant. After all, this matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small thing. If Mr. Qi is really angry, maybe she will lose the job.

"Just pretend you didn't see me at the door today, and you don't know that a cat is following you." Qi Rang persuaded: "I will put it in the corner of the yard and send it away at noon tomorrow. It won't be caught by my brother." knew."

"This..." Auntie was still a little hesitant.

"It's very well-behaved, and it will definitely not be discovered by my brother. Taking a step back, even if it is discovered by my brother, it was I who secretly let you in behind your back. You don't have to worry."

"Then... alright." Auntie couldn't beat Qi Rang, the other party had already reached this point, so she could only nod her head.

Anyway, Mr. Qi is her employer, and Mr. Xiao Qi is also her employer. It would be great if this matter can be settled quietly.

With the promise from his aunt that he would not take the initiative to tell his brother about this matter, Qi Rang walked in the door with Shiba in his arms.

He found a cardboard box and put it behind the big tree at the foot of the yard, and spread a thick layer of blankets under it, put Shiba in it, and urged:

"Brother doesn't like cats, so I can only wrong you to stay here temporarily. I will prepare food for you, and let you come out to play after he leaves, okay?"

Shiba glanced obediently twice, and really stayed in the cardboard box in a ball.

Qi Rang caught Shiba and rubbed it round and flat again, and then hurried upstairs to take a bath, in case his brother came back and found that he had touched the cat.

Qi Yuebai usually comes back at 05:30 at six o'clock, and today is no exception. Qi Rang hurried to dry his hair and sit in the studio just before his brother came back, pretending that nothing happened.

I don't know if it's because he was guilty of thinking too much, and he always felt that when his brother first met him, he took a longer time to look at him than before.

Qi Rang thought about it carefully, making sure that he didn't miss anything that his brother might find out, and he showed a very confident and natural smile.

Fortunately, Qi Yuebai quickly averted his eyes, probably got away with it, Qi Rang heaved a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Qi Rang went out for a walk with his brother as usual. In order not to let his brother notice the abnormality, he went to the park with cat food and snacks as usual.

When he got to the bench, Qi Rang pretended to call a few times: "Eighteen? Eighteen? Are you there? I brought you something to eat. Eighteen?"

I followed him home in the afternoon on the eighteenth day. I guess he was still sleeping in his nest at this time, so it was definitely impossible for him to come out.

The elder brother stood behind him, watching him quietly.

Qi Rang was grateful that it was night, the park was not particularly bright, and he still turned his back to his brother, so that his brother would not see the embarrassing expression on his face.

He is really not a very good performer, especially this kind of self-deception.

Feeling that the shouting was almost over, Qi Rang tried his best to put on a disappointed expression, turned to look at Qi Yuebai,

"Shiba seems to be gone, has it been adopted by someone?"

Qi Yuebai replied: "Maybe."

Qi Rang didn't know why, but he always felt that the air was quiet and awkward, so he said dryly, "Although it's a bit sad that we may never see it in the future, it's good to be adopted, no matter what it is, it's better than wandering around now." life is good."

Hearing this, Qi Yuebai curled the corners of her mouth in an unclear manner, and asked with interest: "Is it better to be adopted than to be homeless?"

"Of course, being adopted has at least one place to sleep, and three meals a day are guaranteed."

"How do you know that its new owner will treat it like this?"

For a moment, Qi Rang almost thought that his brother knew that he was the one who brought Shiba home, so he asked him this question, but when he looked carefully, he felt that his brother's expression did not reveal this meaning, but rather It seemed that he was really asking what he meant.

He replied: "Its new owner is willing to adopt it. He must like it very much and will definitely treat it well. And he dared to adopt Shiba, which also shows from the side that he has the ability to feed and clothe Shiba. Life? So eighteen will definitely live well."

"Maybe he didn't adopt Shiba because he liked it?"

"How? How can you adopt it if you don't like it?"

Qi Yuebai suddenly stopped talking, and stared at Qi Rang for a while.

With such eyes, Qi Rang had already started to brainstorm whether his brother had something to say, but his brother burst out laughing suddenly, and the slightly depressing atmosphere from his dark eyes dissipated instantly.

"That's right, how can you adopt it if you don't like it?"

A long time ago, the old lady said to Qi Yuebai like this: "Yuebai, you must know that we love you very much. Many other families adopt a child because they are barren. But we are different, your mother is pregnant, she can have a baby, if she doesn't love you, why bring you back?"

It was Yun Xiuchun and his wife who brought Qi Yuebai out of the orphanage.

Qi Yuebai still clearly remembered that, in order to welcome the Qi family and his wife, the dean led all the children to do a big cleaning one day in advance, and the next morning they changed into the latest clothes that they would only wear during the Chinese New Year. It's nice to see the younger group of children brought them to the yard to play games.

The dean originally wanted to take him there because he was really good-looking, but Qi Yuebai refused. He was already nine years old at that time, and no couple would bring a child of his age home.

Qi Yuebai was sitting on the balcony at the end of the corridor on the second floor, flipping through the picture book he had read to death, and accidentally saw the car that the Qi family couple came by.

The pair of glamorous Bi people got down from the back seat, and it seemed that something unpleasant had happened. The woman supported her back, talking angrily, and wiping tears from time to time.

The man was pushed away several times, but stuck back again and again, stroking the woman's belly, comforting something with a warm voice.

Qi Yuebai could tell right away that the woman was pregnant and didn't want to adopt a child, but for some unknown reason, they came here together.

Is it really much better to go home with a wealthy couple who have other plans than to live in an orphanage?

Qi Yuebai didn't have much interest, and continued to read his picture books. He didn't want the couple to read all the children carefully selected by the headmaster, but none of them were satisfied, but when they inadvertently looked up, they caught sight of the nine-year-old him.

The Qi family, which could afford a car and a driver 20 years ago, is far richer than Qi Yuebai's previous cognition. The bright and spacious bedroom, soft and comfortable bedding, and a clean and warm bathroom are the most important features of this family. Everything is heaven compared to the orphanage.

Even though the old lady emphasized over and over again that she brought him back because she loved him, she didn't know that Qi Yuebai had seen with her own eyes how much Yun Xiuchun didn't want to take him home. the price.

Thinking of that home, Qi Yuebai also thought of it, tomorrow is August [-]th, it's the day when all of them should go back to the old house to get together.

Qi Yuebai pursed her lips, under her calm expression she couldn't see any pain or anger recalling the past, she touched Qi Rang's ear affectionately and said: "Do you still remember what day is tomorrow?"

"What day?"

Qi Rang asked casually, counting on his own fingers, tomorrow is the 15th, um, the 15th...

number 15? !

Qi Rang's pupils trembled: "Tomorrow, I'm going back to the old house!"

"Well, are you happy?"

Qi Rang: "..." Not happy at all!very nervous!

"Don't be nervous," Qi Yuebai comforted as if seeing his nervousness, "I've already told them about your amnesia, only parents and grandma will be here tomorrow."

Qi Rang squeezed out a forced smile, "Okay..."

"Also, there is a meeting tomorrow that can't be cancelled, you go to the company with me first, and we will go there together after the meeting is over, okay?"

"Row."
