Years of love

Zhou Luo ate two big bowls of noodles.

In fact, he doesn't like noodles very much, but prefers rice, rice bowls or rice bowls.The rice is hard, one grain is one grain, it is chewed very vigorously, and the meal can only be eaten firmly if it is chewed vigorously in the mouth.

But today the noodles were really chewy, and after two bowls, Zhou Luo realized that there was no noodles at home, and Yan Qi probably bought them from the small supermarket next door when he was buying steamed buns.

Thinking of Yan Qi taking care of him with all his heart, Zhou Luo felt warm in his heart and comfortable in his stomach, but at the same time he was very distressed.

Just as Zhou Luo was staring at Yan Qi and thinking about it in his mind, Yan Qi had already wiped the clean white porcelain bowl that could look in the mirror with a dishcloth and put it back into the cupboard.

Zhou Luo changed his clothes and looked at the time, "I'll buy you two clothes if you're not in a hurry to go back."

"No need brother." Yan Qi tied his shoelaces, stood up straight and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "It's just a meal."

Zhou Luo was stunned for a moment, and laughed directly: "It's not that I want to reward you for cooking for me, but I really want to buy it for you. My brother is so good-looking, he can't be dragged down by clothes."

"Have you made any money?" Yan Qi said.

Zhou Luo was dumbfounded: "It seems that I haven't had time yet."

"Then buy one." Yan Qi took his hand and said, "Open the door."

Zhou Luo hurriedly opened the door, took out the car keys from the small plate on the entrance, pushed Yan Qi's back and walked out.

When he got in the car and turned on the heater, Yan Qi's eyelids began to twitch. When the battle was in turmoil, his consciousness finally lost, sleepiness crept up his brows and eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes.

It just opens and closes from time to time, repeatedly, Zhou Luo raises his hand to push his bangs aside, Yan Qi finally sleeps more peacefully.

This is Yan Qi's first visit to the shopping mall in the city center, and it's so bustling that people can't take their eyes off it.There are no small shops facing the street, and there are many high-rise buildings around. There are not many people in the square, but there are people entering and leaving the mall all the time.Above the central square, a long screen lights up across the head, like an upside-down corridor.

Yan Qi leaned against Zhou Luo's legs. He was not timid about people or scenes, but he was a stranger and didn't know where to go.After entering the shopping mall, there were more people, Yan Qi subconsciously grabbed the corner of Zhou Luo's clothes, and let go when there were fewer people.

Looking at the dazzling shops, Zhou Luo wanted to choose a down jacket for him right now, the long one that can directly cover the knees is the best.After asking Yan Qi, I realized that he never liked to wear long clothes, because it would make his legs appear short.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Luo unconsciously looked down at the hair on the top of Yan Qi's head, and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub it twice.

The two of them walked back and forth several times in the children's clothing section on the fifth floor of the shopping mall, before Yan Qi finally stopped at the door of a shop.

Zhou Luo smiled, he had already guessed what Yan Qi was thinking, the clothes in this shop were much more cost-effective than other shops, and the price of a piece of clothing was one-third of that of other shops.

After Yan Qi entered the store, he took a look. He didn't reach out to touch every piece of clothing like other children. A long black down jacket with a ring of fluff on the hood.

Although he doesn't like long clothes, Zhou Luo wants to buy him and he wants to wear them.

Yan Qi put on his clothes and stood in front of the mirror and turned around twice, then stared at Zhou Luo with wide eyes.

Zhou Luo had been sitting on the sofa next to him, smiling at him, and walked over to help him zip up Yan Qi with expectant and excited eyes.

"Is this the only one? Why does it feel so big that it can hold two of you." Zhou Luo asked.

"I want to wear it after I grow taller, so that I can wear it when I go to junior high school." Yan Qi raised his arms and stretched his arms out of his cuffs and said, "Does it look good?"

"Looks good, you look good in whatever clothes you wear." Zhou Luo touched the thickness of the clothes and felt that they were not bad.

"Then this one, is the money enough?" Yan Qi continued to ask.

"Enough." Zhou Luo smiled: "It's enough to buy twenty pieces."

After paying the money and receiving the receipt, and the bag from the salesperson, Yan Qi was reluctant to carry it, he had to put it in his arms to be at ease.

"It's not that your mother hasn't bought it for you." Zhou Luo pressed the elevator button on the fifth floor.

"I bought it, but you bought it." Yan Qi pushed the bag that slipped down with his knees up, and hugged it hard.

Looking at him, Zhou Luo felt as if someone had scratched her heart, and squatted down eagerly to look at him: "I will bring you to buy clothes every year from now on."

Yan Qi shook his head first, then looked at him and nodded.

Zhou Luo smiled and pinched his face, it was soft.

The elevator quickly reached the fifth floor. After opening the door, Zhou Luo and Yan Qi stood aside and waited for all the people in the elevator to come out.

"Xiao Luo?" A middle-aged man's voice came into Yan Qi's ears.

Yan Qi looked up at the man and woman in front of him.

"Uncle Jin, Aunt Fang, why are you here?" Zhou Luo stepped forward and hugged the two people one by one.

It was only then that Yan Qi remembered that they seemed to have shown up at Grandpa Zhou Luo's memorial service.

That should be Uncle Zhou Xun's friend.

Uncle Jin patted his arm hard: "You boy, I heard that guy Zhou Xun gave you the publishing social?"

"Still talking." Zhou Luo sighed softly: "I have one head and two big ones, and he really left me a lot of mess."

"Young people, it's good to have more experience." Aunt Fang put the bag in her hand on her shoulder and said, "When our Yan'er comes back, let her go to your place for an internship first."

"Don't dare to take it." Zhou Luo shook his hand quickly: "This really upsets me, Jinlan Publishing House is one of the largest publishing houses in China, and Jin Yan is too wronged by my small broken unit."

"What's wrong with you? You and Yan'er grew up together. She must be clamoring to work with you when she comes back. Let her be." Auntie Fang smiled.

Yan Qi looked at the couple who were planning great plans for their daughter, and showed a polite smile: "Hello, uncle, hello, auntie."

"Hello." Aunt Fang waved at him: "I wanted to ask just now, but I was afraid that I might not be with Xiao Luo. Who is this beautiful child?"

Is he handsome? Auntie!

"This is my younger brother." Zhou Luo patted Yan Qi on the back, and Yan Qi took a step forward following the force and continued to smile.

fake smile.

"Brother? Why didn't I know when you had a younger brother?" Uncle Jin asked.

"I'll tell you more about it when my uncle and I come to visit when we have time." Zhou Luo smiled.

Yan Qi stared blankly at the elevator that had been turned on again by Zhou Luo.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Luo asked.

"I was thinking of you." Yan Qi subconsciously blurted out, and immediately frowned and turned to look to the side.

Zhou Luo raised the corner of his mouth.

"Who is Jin Yan?" Yan Qi didn't notice Zhou Luo's expression, so he found a topic and asked casually.

"We've known each other since we were young. She was with me and Cheng Ye in high school and university. She will stay abroad to study in graduate school and return to China a few years later than me and Cheng Ye." Zhou Luo answered Yan Qi very seriously.

"Yeah." Yan Qi nodded, he hadn't decided what to ask, when the elevator arrived, Zhou Luo put one hand behind Yan Qi's back, protecting him and other people waiting for the elevator. went in.

Accompanied by the high-pressure sound effects of the drum kit along the way, Yan Qiting's mood was excited for a while, and finally stretched out two index fingers to beat a few beats on his legs.

After the excitement, seeing the door getting closer, I feel a little lost.

Zhou Luo parked the car at the door, and said to Yan Qi gently, "You're home."

Yan Qi moved his legs, but did not get out of the car.

Zhou Luo looked at him, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "I'll take you skating again next Saturday."

Yan Qi turned his head, his brown eyes stared brightly: "It's decided!"

He didn't control the volume well, and he spoke a little loudly, which startled himself.

Zhou Luo also followed him and raised the volume: "It's a deal!"

Then he saw Yan Qi getting out of the car contentedly holding the paper bag, and waved to him.Zhou Luo lowered the co-pilot's window until Yan Qi's thin figure ran into the house and melted into the dim light, then he stepped on the accelerator with confidence.

Yan Qi quickly ran back to his room, stood on the balcony holding onto the railing and looked far away, only seeing a faint light at the rear of the car.

Yan Qi climbed the stairs too fast, he still hadn't slowed down, and his body was still panting.

The room was pitch black, Yan Qi didn't reach out to turn on the light, and walked back and forth excitedly holding the bag of new clothes.

He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. After his breath calmed down, he carefully put the paper bag beside the pillow.

Yan Qi took out his mobile phone from his pocket, swiped open the screen, clicked on the text message, and pressed the letter keypad repeatedly.

Zhou Luo's phone vibrated in the storage compartment, and when the red light came, he picked it up and took a look.

-Thank you brother, good night. /:Smile

Since Yan Qi's mobile phone is an Android system, Zhou Luo's Apple machine can't display the smiling expression, only the text.Staring at these two words, Zhou Luo smiled for some reason.

He replied one, and stared at the text message until the car behind him honked the horn, then he quickly put down the handbrake and turned onto the main road.

-Handsome guys need handsome clothes, good night.

Yan Qi read these words for a long time, and then clicked back to delete all other text messages in the inbox, leaving only the one with Zhou Luo.

Yan Qi smiled, a happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

But before laughing for a while, he heard a faint cry.

Yan Qi listened with both ears, opened the door following the sound, frowned and walked quickly to Su Jin's door.

"Mom." Yan Qi knocked on the door.

Su Jin was still crying and didn't respond, so Yan Qi directly turned the doorknob.

Su Jin's whole body was wrapped in the bed, only her head was exposed, and she occasionally reached out to wipe away her tears. Beside her pillow was a large pile of rolled facial tissues.

"Mom." Yan Qi walked up to her and called out.

"Son." Su Jin responded this time, but didn't look at him.

Yan Qi's eyes had already adapted to the darkness, and through the faint moonlight outside the window, he saw that Su Jin's face was covered with large and small wounds.Like this on the face, there must be more on the body.

"He hit you again?" Yan Qi asked.

Su Jin fell silent, and wiped her nose with a tissue.

It took a long time for Su Jin's crying to calm down, from tears to the faint sound of mosquitoes.

Yan Qi just stayed by the bed, didn't sit on the bed or find a stool to sit on, just stood by the bed and stared at her blankly.

After a long time, Su Jin turned to touch his face, grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go with Mom."

Yan Qi was stunned.

It was something he had thought about.

Take Su Jin away from here, to a city that is at least simpler and warmer than here, where mother and son depend on each other for life.

Yan Qi planned it like this. At that time, what he had in mind was the son's dependence on his mother like countless ordinary families for so many years.

But now, he hesitated.

Ten minutes ago, he had just made an appointment with Zhou Luo to go skating on the weekend.

He waited for two years and endured Zhou Hao for two years before seeing Zhou Luo again.

He tried his best to put down his temper and pretend to be obedient and obedient, in exchange for the next promise to see you soon.

And now, suddenly, because of Su Jin's words, he stood at the fork of the two roads. If he answered, he would embark on the road that he would never meet Zhou Luo again.

Yan Qi frowned and looked at her.

Su Jin was silent.

She looked out the window.

There is heating in the room, but Su Jin still feels cold even though she is wrapped in a quilt.

Yan Qi also felt cold.

He reached out and touched Su Jin's face, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled at her: "We will leave after school tomorrow, I need to say goodbye to my friends. Mom, pack up, you can't bring clothes and other daily necessities Too many, just take the house book and valuable jewelry with you, take all the money away without leaving a penny, don’t worry about me, I have very few things, and I can pack them up in a while. If you make up your mind to go, you will Make up your mind to temporarily abandon this house, this is just a stopgap measure, as long as the name of the house is still yours, you can sell it anytime you want in the future."

Yan Qi finished the whole sentence without getting stuck at all, it was something he had pondered over for a long time and had already typed out the draft in his heart, he couldn't say without stumbling, so as not to let Su Jin feel his hesitation.

There was firmness in his tone, and he couldn't hear anything else.

Su Jin got up and hugged his thin body tightly, crying heartbreakingly.

The author has something to say: thanks.
