[Pretender] Girlfriend has been offline for a long time

Ming Lou will always remember that when Ming Jing went to the funeral of Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen, he saw how lonely the thin figure kneeling in the middle of the mourning hall was, suddenly lost his parents and younger brother, and was alone, close to him. The two cousins ​​also disappeared, and Minglou's heart was touched. When his parents passed away, his elder sister was there, and her elder sister supported him, but... there was no one around Wen Guqiu.

When he helped Wen Guqiu up, her hands were terribly cold, and her kneeling legs couldn't stand at all. When he supported her, she felt her trembling, but she stood up stiffly, her back straight Standing straight, with a sense of arrogance, Ming Lou was a little stunned, because, in his memory, Wen Guqiu had always liked to laugh, act like a baby, and had a mild temper and even a little soft-spoken.

Having a brother is different than having a sister.

Minglou had deep feelings.

The younger brother can be spoiled, but he needs to be educated, so he always treats Mingtai with a stick and a sweet date.

But with Wen Guqiu, Minglou thought, a girl must be pampered, raised carefully, must be pampered, spoiled him.

Ah Cheng put the brewed tea on his desk, and the young and handsome face was stained with helplessness, Minglou laughed when he saw this: "Mingtai is sleeping at the door again?"

My younger brother slept at the door, but this elder brother made a joke. Mingcheng shook his head helplessly: "No, it's the third time this week. We really don't know."

Ah Cheng sighed, but did not express any objection to Ming Tai's actions, he was just a little worried about Ming Tai's health.

"The weather is getting colder, he must have caught a cold by sleeping at the door with a quilt all night."

Minglou smiled, and turned a page of the book in his hand: "Then drag him back."

Mingcheng shrugged: "How dare I, that little ancestor, I dare to drag him, and I dare to hold the door panel and refuse to leave."

Mingcheng imagined that scene, ah, Mingtai can definitely do it.

Minglou shook his head, and said lightly: "Let him go, Gu Qiu looks like that, he will make Gu Qiu look at it a little bit, I have been worried about Gu Qiu's mental state, if she can't get out of that Shadow, she will lose more."

He knew that Mingtai sat at Wen Guqiu's door with Wen Guqiu at night, and he didn't stop him. He knew that Wen Guqiu was afraid, afraid of the current situation, afraid of the future, because, next, she wanted a People moved on, the parents she loved, the parents who loved her, were gone. When Minglou passed Wen Guqiu's room several times, she could hear her crying, stuffed under the quilt, depressed, Minglou Lou stood outside the door and listened for a long time before the crying gradually stopped. After he walked in, what he saw was a crying sleeping face.

Therefore, Mingtai accompanied Wen Guqiu, she cried less, and the confusion in her eyes also decreased.

Minglou felt that he had also stepped into a vicious circle. Wen Guqiu had lost too much, so he wanted to give more.

It was already late when Ming Lou finished reading the book in his hand. He twisted the bridge of his nose, turned off the light and walked out of the study. The corridor on the second floor was still lit. Ah Cheng left it for him to find the way. Ming Lou walked a few steps I saw Mingtai curled up at the door and sleeping. The young man's thin body was huddled under the quilt. It looked like he was sleeping soundly, but the weather turned cold. This brat would definitely catch a cold if he slept like this for a few days. He is not afraid of Taiwan catching a cold, he is really afraid of stepping on the bright mirror that broke his heart for Mingtai, and he will definitely feel distressed. Minglou bent down and picked Mingtai up and walked to his room. When Mingtai was young, he often hugged her. Looking at him, it's just that the older he gets, the more skinny Mingtai becomes, and he seldom clamors for his brother to hug him like he did when he was a child. Minglou showed a doting smile and put Mingtai on the bed carefully and covered him with the quilt. The child he watched grow up began to have a sense of responsibility of his own.

Minglou does not stop Mingtai's actions, on the contrary, he is willing to see such a scene, Mingtai becomes Wen Guqiu's reliance, let Mingtai grow into a responsible and responsible man, and let Wen Guqiu Now, she is not only a child of Wen's family, but also a member of his Ming family. Both he and Ming Jing will be Wen Guqiu's strong support.

Walking out of Mingtai's room, Minglou walked back to the door of Wen Guqiu's room. He turned the doorknob and opened the door softly, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be something blocking the door, so he could only open a small door. seam.

"Boom!"

There was the sound of something falling, Minglou was stunned for a moment, and opened the door forcefully, Minglou was surprised to find that the person who was against the door was Wen Guqiu, the girl fell on the ground and did not wake up, but Minglou also knew this appearance Probably, Mingtai sleeps at the door, does she also sleep behind the door with Mingtai?

Minglou sighed, and also picked up Wen Guqiu and put him on the bed, but the feeling of holding Mingtai and holding Wen Guqiu was obviously different. Minglou looked at the girl in his arms, it was really light Distressed.

The handsome young man sat by the bed and carefully looked at the sleeping girl. There were still tears in the corners of the girl's eyes. Minglou went up to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Minglou gently stroked Wen Guqiu's cheeks. The cheeks are thinner.

"……kindness."

The hand was caught suddenly, Minglou was startled, seeing Wen Guqiu's expression, she didn't wake up, it was just a subconscious movement.

"En... Dad... Yi Ya... Mu Ma... Ah Ah... Er... Brother."

Wen Guqiu was talking in her sleep, she couldn't hear what she was talking about, but judging from her uneasy sleeping appearance and unstoppable sobbing, she was having a nightmare again.

"..."

Minglou's other hand slowly patted the quilt to comfort Wen Guqiu. From Wen Guqiu's dream talk, she dreamed of her parents and younger brother.

"Well...don't go!"

The grasped hand was not very strong, and there was even a feeling that he wanted to use force but couldn't. Minglou slowly clenched the little hand in his palm, and the young man comforted him gently: "Well, don't go, I'm here .”

In the quiet night, only gentle whispers are left.

"Don't be afraid, Gu Qiu."

******

Eighteen changes in the women's college, Minglou deeply understands this sentence.

Seeing the little girl he brought up walking down the stairs wearing a beautiful cheongsam, Minglou felt in his heart that "there is a girl in my family who is just growing up". He never wanted Wen Guqiu to grow up A well-educated lady, he only hopes that in this era, Wen Guqiu can become an independent woman who can face setbacks bravely.

And this point, Wen Guqiu has indeed grown in the direction Minglou expected, so that later, she is too strong, so strong that it makes people feel distressed.

He hugged the girl's slender waist and led her to spin, spin, and follow the rhythm of the music. The two dancers had a tacit understanding, but their expressions needed to be studied.

"What? Are you so reluctant to dance with me?"

Minglou felt a little helpless, the girl's face turned serious.

Wen Guqiu curled her lips, but the expression of the girl who had put on make-up was very lively: "Why are you so happy, every time you ask me to dance, you use it as a shield, why are you so willing, brother Minglou, you are really wicked, don't you?" If you dare to face Sister Manchun and Sister Mingjing, you can use me as a shield."

The grievance between Wang Manchun and Mingjing is a knot that Minglou can't untie. He doesn't want to make his sister angry, but he doesn't want to embarrass Wang Manchun too much. After all, between him and her, she is the one who made the mistake first, so go first. It was him who was the one who let her go first, and his heart was partial to his family, so sometimes when he encountered a dilemma, Minglou would feel that it was nice to hear about Guqiu, she calmed the anger of Wang Manchun and Mingjing, Obviously, he will suffer less.

When Minglou heard Wen Guqiu's complaint, he helplessly raised the corners of his lips into a chuckle, and the gentle elder brother could only helplessly but gently apologize: "It's my fault, please calm down, Miss."

Minglou's teasing response, Minglou will give people the feeling of a gentleman, just standing there with a straight back gives people a rock-solid character, neither tepid nor haughty nor arrogant nor unyielding, it is so special, So when he smiles gently at people, it is easy to fall into it. Wang Manchun has experienced this kind of gentle trap, and it is easy to get out of it. His eyes and voice are deadly traps.

So Wang Manchun hates Mingjing, envies Mingtai, and envies Wen Guqiu. They have the greatest tenderness in Minglou, including Mingcheng!

Wen Guqiu looked at Minglou's gentle eyes, but answered firmly:

"I don't rest."

"..."

Minglou couldn't help but chuckle at such a willful answer. He actually thought that such a Gu Qiu was too cute, so he nodded: "Okay, don't stop, then how should I make amends?"

Minglou is the kind of brother who coaxes his younger sister, trying his best to make the girl happy, Wen Guqiu blinked her eyes, she tilted her head and blurted out: "I want a big red envelope for the New Year!"

Minglou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you asking for anything other than a big red envelope?"

It has become a custom to get big red envelopes every year for dancing.

"When did I not give you a big red envelope during Chinese New Year?"

"It's different, one is a big red envelope, and the other is for mental damage. I want two big red envelopes!"

Minglou raised his eyebrows, the little girl was greedy and confident.

"Nothing else?"

"It's really worth the money!"

Wen Guqiu said righteously, Minglou took the girl's hand and led her around again, Minglou put one arm around her waist, the other hand did not go to hold Wen Guqiu's hand, but hooked her. Raised her index finger and scratched her delicate nose: "Little snob."

Wen Guqiu grinned, his coquettish expression towards his elder brother was irresistible: "Brother Minglou, you are my purse."

The girl pulled Minglou's sleeve and smiled sweetly: "Brother Minglou, you are the head of the family, responsible for earning money to support the family."

Minglou smiled helplessly. After a long time, Minglou would feel bitter when thinking of Wen Guqiu's smile.

Making money to support his family was such a simple matter, but it was a luxury for him.

where is home?

What about the family?

When reminiscing about the past, Minglou realized that he had been responsible for three women in his life.

He said he would love Wang Manchun and would not change his mind, but he didn't do it, and it wasn't a change of heart, but the heart he loved Wang Manchun was wiped out by Wang Manchun's cruelty and viciousness, and in the end only He was exploited and numb, and Wang Manchun died under his gun.

He said that he promised Mingjing that after the matter was over, he would take charge of the Ming family for her, and just do financial work well, but he didn't do it, he couldn't get away, he had fallen into the depths of darkness, There is no direction other than moving forward, but he calculated every situation and laid out plans one by one, but in the end he couldn't save his sister, the woman who gave everything for the Ming family, and never saw Mingtai get married and have children until she died , She died in her arms before their family was reunited.

He said that he promised Wen Guqiu to bring Mingtai back, but he didn't do it...

******

One wrong step, one wrong step, once in the game, it is a pawn.

Mingtai's entry into the game was destined, but Wen Guqiu was an accident.

He thought that Wang Tianfeng's heart was not fake. When he knew that he had kidnapped his younger brother and sent him to the military command to train him as an agent who could only wander in the dark, he left his younger sister in the war-torn Changsha. , he wished he could scrape that poisonous bee with a knife.

The death plan was successful, but what ending did he get?

The respected eldest sister passed away, and the beloved younger brother was forced to leave.

Minglou suddenly felt that he had no way to retreat except to advance hard, and there was no warmth behind him to turn back, only the rough road and endless darkness remained.

[Sister, I'm off to work. 】

The daily life that has been imagined countless times has finally turned into a soft remembrance of the photos.

【where is home? 】

[Where are the people at home? 】

[Eldest sister, without you, this home is not home anymore. 】

The eldest sister left, and Mingtai also left. Minglou let Axiang go back to Suzhou. The Ming mansion suddenly became deserted. Only he and Acheng were left in the huge house. Minglou was somewhat repelled going home. At night, he didn't pick up his clothes and leave the office until Ah Cheng came to call him.

"You've been working late these days."

Mingcheng looked at Minglou in the rearview mirror. The elder sister had just passed away. The man had lost a lot of weight. Minglou twisted the bridge of his nose and said lightly: "Fujita Yoshimasa is dead, and TGK will send someone over again. I need After finishing all the accumulated matters, there is no leader on the 76th, and now is the best time."

That being said, there is no way to refute it, but Mingcheng knows the real reason. After following Minglou for a long time, Mingcheng exposes Minglou lukewarmly: "I'm afraid of going home."

"..."

Ming Lou paused, and he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window: "Maybe, back to the Ming Mansion without eldest sister and Mingtai... I'm afraid of being deserted."

"...Only us are left."

Mingcheng's eyes also dimmed, and finally, only they were left.

Minglou's quiet eyes are too deep, making it hard to see through, Minglou murmured: "... Where is home?"

"Crack."

When I opened the door, there was no bright mirror or bright platform to greet me, not even Axiang, it was pitch black, extremely deserted, Minglou smiled wryly, and turned on the light at hand.

"!!!"

"Guqiu?!"

The moment the light in the hall was turned on, the two men were surprised to find the woman lying down on the stairs. They walked over quickly, and Minglou carefully helped Wen Guqiu up, and found that she was just asleep, which made him slightly relieved .

"Why are you down here?"

Mingcheng lowered his deep voice a little, afraid of waking up Wen Guqiu, Minglou shook his head: "I'll send her upstairs first, and you go cook."

"I?"

Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, you, I'm hungry."

Minglou spoke with confidence, and choked at what Mingcheng said, who was the one who refused to go home just now! ?

Mingcheng gave Minglou angrily a look, turned and walked into the kitchen.

Minglou hugged Wen Guqiu to her room, as if he was back in childhood, Minglou covered her with the quilt and patted her gently.

"En? Brother Minglou?"

Wen Guqiu woke up a little bit, but he looked dazed and sleepy again. Minglou smiled bitterly and gently. He held Wen Guqiu's hand and said softly, "Well, I'm here."

"……kindness."

"Gu Qiu, why did you come back?"

Minglou asked softly, but he didn't really want an answer, he just felt that when he saw her at the stairs when he turned on the light, his heart suddenly softened.

It turned out that there were still people waiting for him to go home.

"……Family."

It took a long time for Wen Guqiu to give an answer, but she was not clear, too sleepy, and even the answer became easy, but Minglou understood what she meant.

【Why come back? 】

【My home is here. 】

"Your home is here, Gu Qiu."

Minglou smiled, but wanted to cry.

[Sister, my home is here, and my family is here. 】

[But, you are not here. 】

Minglou patted Wen Guqiu's quilt repeatedly. He recalled the memories about Mingjing in a trance. The better those beautiful memories were, the more heartbroken he was. The person he wanted to protect the most was still not well protected. .

Minglou looked carefully at Wen Guqiu's sleeping face, and subconsciously blurted out:

"...Don't go, Gu Qiu."

stay.

In this family, only me, you and Cheng are left.

Spring and autumn come again.

Ming Jing passed away, and Ming Tai left for a year.

Because it is a one-way contact with Mingtai, Minglou knows that Mingtai is doing well, except for being alone.

So lonely... He will miss Gu Qiu's birthday this year.

"Why did you drink alone?"

As soon as Minglou came home, he saw a little drunk, sitting on the sofa with drunken eyes, a half-drunk bottle of red wine on the coffee table, Minglou took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, Wen Guqiu squinted. Seeing the man walking towards her, she seemed to recognize him, and she looked behind Ming Lou again, and asked, "Where's Brother Ah Cheng?"

"He has something to do and he really can't come back, so I came back first."

Ah-cheng has his mission, and he really can't get away from it.

Wen Guqiu nodded clearly, with a nonchalant tone: "Oh...it's okay, I don't care!"

Obviously very concerned...

Minglou couldn't help laughing, clearly showing concern on his face.

"Ah Cheng said that he will come back with a gift to make amends to you."

Minglou sent a message to Ah Cheng, asking Wen Guqiu to pardon him, Wen Guqiu pouted and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll wait."

As he spoke, Wen Guqiu poured himself another glass, Minglou grabbed Wen Guqiu and took her glass away.

"You're drunk, Gu Qiu."

"I'm not drunk!"

Wen Guqiu frowned, and retorted Minglou righteously: "I'm not drunk, I'm sober!"

Ming Lou sighed, he loosened his tie, that casual action broke Chief Ming's always reserved appearance, he asked back: "Where is the sobriety?"

"..."

Wen Guqiu blinked her eyes, and those clear eyes seemed to be no longer drunk, she said word by word: "In the future birthday... Big sister can't spend it with me, and Mingtai won't accompany me in the future birthday. Follow me."

"..."

Wen Guqiu's words pierced Minglou's heart hard, and he was speechless, speechless.

"... Gu Qiu, from now on... there will be me, Ah Cheng, and us."

Minglou's deep voice spoke word by word into his heart.

Wen Guqiu laughed like a child: "Brother Minglou, I miss them, I miss my eldest sister, I miss Mingtai."

Minglou sips Wen Guqiu's wine glass, expressing the depression in his heart with the wine in the glass:

"Me too."

I miss them too.

Wen Guqiu only took one wine glass, she wanted to drink again, she reached for the glass in Minglou's hand, Minglou moved her hand away to avoid Wen Guqiu's hand, the woman leaned over with drunken eyes and stubbornly wanted to take it return.

"give me."

Wen Guqiu knelt on one knee beside Minglou, Minglou leaned back, and smiled faintly at Wen Guqiu: "You can't drink anymore, you're drunk."

Wen Guqiu grinned when he heard this: "It's good to be drunk, you don't have to think about anything when you're drunk."

Minglou let go of his hand, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. The crisp sound made Wen Guqiu stunned for a moment. Wen Guqiu suddenly found that Minglou had fallen sideways on the sofa, and she pressed her hand on his shoulder condescendingly. looking down at him.

"Brother Minglou?"

"Well, I'm here."

Wen Guqiu frowned, seemed to be thinking, then looked at Minglou carefully, and suddenly smiled: "You are still there."

Wen Guqiu slowly leaned down on Minglou's body, curled up like a kitten, Minglou looked at Wen Guqiu in this state, and let out a long sigh, he looked at the ceiling blankly, Feeling the weight on his body, after a long time, Minglou raised his hand and gently stroked Wen Guqiu's head, like smoothing the fur of a kitten, once in a while, Minglou took the wine on the coffee table with the other hand There was still half of the bottle left. The man held the bottle and poured it down his throat. He also wanted to get drunk like this, and he didn't care about anything.

"Gu Qiu..."

Minglou called out to Wen Guqiu, but what responded to him was the faint sound of breathing, Minglou smiled, only his voice was left in the deserted Ming mansion, Minglou spoke softly, the voice was so soft that only In a breathless voice: "I once told Wang Manchun that the hardest thing for me was losing my relatives, but... when that day really came, I found that the psychological preparation I had made exceeded what I was prepared for." I can bear it, I lost two of my dearest relatives at once."

"Wang Manchun won't understand, but... I know, Gu Qiu, you understand."

"You, like me, are afraid of the departure of your loved ones, and like me, it is difficult to accept this pain, and like me... except waiting, there is nothing left but waiting."

"So...Gu Qiu, don't leave, okay?"

Minglou didn't want to get an answer, he just murmured.

******

"Brother Minglou, how about this dress?"

Wen Guqiu walked downstairs wearing a purple cheongsam. As he got older, Wen Guqiu wore a cheongsam that showed a woman's charm and maturity. Fan, instead of answering the woman's question, asked back: "Who are you going to meet dressed like this?"

Wen Guqiu puffed up his cheeks and was a little impatient: "Mrs. Zhang, she always asks me out, and I have rejected her several times. A few days ago, Mrs. Zhong came back from France and said that she wanted to hold a dance or something. Mrs. Zhang asked me out." To pull me there."

"Oh……"

Minglou looked at it, and said thoughtfully, "Did you buy this dress two years ago? The style is old."

"You can see all this?"

Wen Guqiu turned around twice, but he didn't care: "Just get old, I'm not interested in buying new clothes."

Minglou laughed, turned a page of the newspaper in his hand and laughed, "Are you not interested or are you just lazy to buy it?"

"The most important thing about buying clothes is that someone pays for you when you buy them. What good is it if you buy them yourself?"

Seeing the woman pursing her mouth, Minglou understood, and said seriously, "Okay, then I'll go shopping with you."

"Hmph, let Brother Minglou spend the money."

Wen Guqiu's expression was not polite, Minglou shook his head, his handsome face was full of doting: "Who told me that I was the one who made money to support the family?"

"I will buy a lot."

"OK, buy it!"

"I'm sorry if I don't dress up at night, they call me Mrs. Ming!"

"Mrs. Ming, you are the prettiest."

Minglou's eyes turned back to the newspaper in his hand, Wen Guqiu ran up the stairs again, Mingcheng walked down with his freshly ironed suit, seeing the smile on the corner of Wen Guqiu's mouth, Minglou Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Minglou: "Mrs. Ming? Which Mrs. Ming?"

Mingcheng started to smile, but Minglou raised his chin when facing Mingcheng's teasing, and responded viciously: "Your uncle!"
