I became a substitute for my brother

Qin Rui seldom thinks of his childhood experiences, but that doesn't mean he doesn't remember.

He is a child abandoned by his parents. His parents were never married. His father played with his mother's feelings. After abandoning his mother, his mother gave birth to him alone. Because he couldn't support him, he was thrown at the gate of the orphanage.Since then, he no longer has parents in his life, but has a younger brother named "Xiao Xin".

In the orphanage, Xiaoxin was the child who relied on him the most, and he also felt the feeling of being dependent on Xiaoxin, so when Qin Wenyuan and Tao Heng proposed to take him home, he took Xiaoxin away without the slightest hesitation , Xiaoxin is his younger brother, and it is his lifelong responsibility.This was the only cognition in his mind when he was young and young.

Xiaoxin would fall in love with him, which he did not expect. The first reaction when he came back to his senses was surprise, and after the surprise was secret satisfaction, but these two emotions were subconsciously concealed by him, leaving only the third one—— — Restraint.

They are adopted brothers, so they can only be brothers for the rest of their lives, and redundant feelings should not exist.He thought he could persevere, but he overestimated himself, or rather, he underestimated Tao Xin, and underestimated Tao Xin's influence on him.

When Tao Xin left, he thought, maybe it would be good to let him go abroad to calm down for a while, he never thought that this person would really be willing to leave him for too long, and what he didn't expect was that this separation lasted a full six years.

Six years was enough time for him to think about many things clearly, and to figure out the secret feelings that were hidden by him.

Tao Heng raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him who was taller than Qin Wenyuan, his brows were full of hardships that were incompatible with his vigorous and vigorous style, and he sighed distressedly, "I have been waiting for you to say this to me. "

Qin Rui was startled, and looked at Tao Heng in surprise.

Tao Heng patted his arm and walked downstairs, "Have a drink with me."

Qin Rui glanced at the door behind him, "Dad, he..."

"Don't worry about him," Tao Heng said, "he usually doesn't let me drink, saying that drinking alcohol is easy to get cardiovascular disease when I'm old, but I also want to indulge once in a while. In this life, people have to live for themselves first, and then It’s the people around you, and only if you live well with your own people, will the people around you be better.”

Tao Heng said, the two went downstairs to the restaurant together, Tao Heng took out a bottle of wine and two glasses from the wine cabinet, "Is red wine okay?"

Qin Rui nodded, "I can do anything."

Tao Heng poured the wine and pushed the glass in front of him, "You asked me a question, I can answer you now, you have always been the pride of your father and me, and we have never been disappointed in you."

Qin Rui held the wine glass with his slender fingers and trembled slightly, "Never... never?"

"Never." Tao Heng raised his head and took a sip of wine, "To be honest, we had selfish intentions when we brought you back. We brought you back for the sake of the Qin family, and we brought Xiaoxin back to keep you. You should understand this , but I know you won't blame us, let alone be disappointed in us."

Qin Rui nodded lightly. Of course he would not blame them, and he had no reason to be disappointed. It was Tao Heng and Qin Wenyuan who gave him and Tao Xin the present life. No matter what their purpose was at the beginning, this It's all a gift.

"You are not disappointed in us, how can we be disappointed in you?"

Qin Rui's Adam's apple slid slightly, "Thank you, Dad."

"I can't say I didn't worry about you all these years, but you two really made us worry," Tao Heng said slowly, "I thought about talking to you when Xiaoxin went abroad six years ago, but I didn't. , do you know why?"

Qin Rui didn't look at him, he stared at the liquid in the glass and sat up straight, "You want me to think clearly."

"That's right," Tao Heng said, "No one else can interfere with emotional matters. What you have to pass is your own level. Xiaoxin also needs time to calm down and figure out what she wants. If you both mess with yourself If we don’t understand our own heart, then what we say is useless.”

Qin Rui was silent for a moment, and asked, "You and Dad really don't mind?"

Tao Heng smiled and asked him: "Do you think your dad and I are the ones who care about such things? Your dad was very messy when he was young, he had a lot of romantic affairs, he didn't care about meat and vegetables, so he didn't care about it.  … A person's life is very short, if you don't care about everything, you will be too tired to live."

Qin Rui's eyes were a little red, "Thank you."

Tao Heng patted the back of his hand, "It's fate to be a family. No matter how the relationship between you and Xiao Xin changes, you are both our sons. We will always be here, and you can see it when you look back."

The conversation was almost over here, and both parties understood what the other was thinking. There was the sound of the door opening upstairs, and then Qin Wenyuan's voice: "Heng Heng, come up to sleep."

Tao Heng was a little bit ashamed when he was still called Duozi at a very old age. He raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, then stood up, "Go to bed early, you should have important things to do tomorrow."

Qin Rui also stood up, "Okay."

He watched Tao Heng go upstairs. He didn't sit down again until Qin Wenyuan's sticky complaints that didn't match his age, Tao Heng's doting comfort, and the ensuing sound of closing the door, and then he sat down again, picked up the wine bottle and gave it to him. He poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it down.

His feet were rubbed by something, he bent down and picked up an orange cat from the ground and put it on his lap.

This cat has been in this house for several years, and it is almost exactly the same as the previous one. The original Tao Heng was well-raised, but it only lived the age that a cat should live, and left quietly on an early winter morning. Tao Heng was depressed for several days because of this, Qin Wenyuan couldn't see him sad, searched for a long time, and finally let him find an orange cat that was not much different from the previous one.

But this time, Tao Heng didn't care as much as before. He threw the little things to Qin Rui to raise him when he had nothing to do. As a result, the cat and Qin Rui became closer now.

Qin Rui scratched the cat's chin with his fingers, and drank two more glasses of wine.

Qin Rui woke up before dawn the next morning, and he drove away from the villa without waking anyone up.

Tao Xin didn't sleep all night. After leaving Qin Rui's car angrily yesterday, he walked back in order to refresh his mind. As a result, his ankle, which was not a serious problem, swelled up and hurt all night. He woke up at dawn in the morning to plan Going to the hospital, just as he walked downstairs, he saw a black car parked directly opposite the door opening. If he was not blind, this car was Qin Rui's black Maybach.

Qin Rui got out of the car, walked towards him, and stood in front of him.He looked down at Tao Xin's feet. Tao Xin was wearing slippers, and her ankles bulged out her socks. He frowned, "Your feet are swollen? I'll take you to the hospital."

Tao Xin said, "No need, I'll take a taxi by myself."

But Qin Rui acted as if he didn't hear him, bent down and picked him up by the waist, and walked towards his Maybach.

Tao Xin was startled, and hugged his neck subconsciously, "What are you doing, put me down!"

Qin Rui said coldly: "Don't let go."

After speaking, he opened the co-pilot's door to put him in, and buckled the seat belt casually.
