Those years of falling in love with Mosaic [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 160 The whole world loves you
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Gang was also stunned.He looked at his bedroom door, then at Kou Qiu, with a hesitant look on his face.
If others say this, it is 100% a joke.But Kou Qiu grew up in an orphanage...
If it really touched my heart because I saw myself and my wife's behavior towards the child, wouldn't it make sense?
He pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "If you insist—"
Kou Qiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, Brother Xiong, I accidentally said something wrong."
The couple were visibly relieved.
"It's the first time I've seen such a small child," Kou Qiu was ushered into the bedroom, and when he saw a ball of puff lying in the crib, he expressed his intention, "Brother Xiong, I want to ask, can you Let me be a godfather to this child?"
"What's wrong with that!"
Xiong Gang is a heroic man, so he immediately agreed.He saw Kou Qiu standing where he was relieved but didn't dare to go forward, so he simply rolled up his sleeves, picked up the child, and stuffed it into his arms forcefully.
"Come on, come and give me a hug too."
The system popped out a milk bubble from its mouth.
Very soft, this is the first feeling.It was as soft as touching a cloud.
Kou Qiu hugged it carefully, as if holding a time bomb, ready to throw the things in his arms out at any time.
Brother Xiong was amused by him.
"That's not it," he stretched out his hand and helped the young man adjust his position, "Come on, put your hand here..."
The system murmured in a low voice trustingly, stretched out short hands with five small dimples, and hugged the buttons on Kou Qiu's clothes with great effort, rubbing and rubbing, dimpled out of laughter.
The couple were pleasantly surprised.
"Look, Xiong Wei likes you!"
Senior officer Kou held the baby in his arms, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"Bear... what?"
"Xiong Wei." Brother Xiong repeated it again, quite firmly, showing his white teeth in a smile, "When my son grows up, he will definitely become a majestic, strong, and indomitable man."
"..."
Old Kou's father, in his mind, reluctantly connected the system boy who would shyly say "Am I your only cutie?" with the majestic man who seemed to be able to put on a horse pole, and broke out in a cold sweat instantly .
This picture is a bit creepy.
Lying in his arms, the system snorted dissatisfied.
The newly purchased toys were all taken out.Lying in the pink-blue stroller, the system stretched out its hand to reach the small toy hanging above it, and its laughter was sweet and crisp.Not to mention the couple who just became parents, even Kou Qiu, who is well versed in the attributes of the system, couldn't help being cute, sitting on the floor with soft cushions, concentrating on holding things to play with him.
The Xiong family couple stood behind, eyes full of relief.
"Look how well they play."
But Brother Xiong seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.He coughed, met his wife's eyes, and then said again, "Qiu, has any stranger called you recently?"
"what phone?"
Kou Qiu was holding a small fish into the system's arms, making the baby giggle, with saliva all over his hands, "There is no phone call."
Brother Xiong cleared his throat again.
"That's good," he said, "don't take it seriously."
Brother Xiong and his daughter-in-law stood by and chimed in.
"Yes, there have been more and more scammers recently, pretending to be any identity."
Kou Qiu looked up at them strangely, pursed his lips, and lowered his head again.
He stayed at the neighbor's house all afternoon, and the neighbor even gave him a meal.Sitting on the baby chair, the system sucked the milk in the bottle with its small mouth open. The sucking was so delicious that even its feet turned up.
It stands to reason that breastfeeding should be better for babies.But his mother suffered some hardships during childbirth, her health was not very good, and it was difficult to produce milk, so she had to choose milk powder.The woman was obviously very guilty about this, and kept filling herself with crucian carp soup, trying to make herself drink some milk.
Brother Xiong picked up a chopstick dish for her and said, "It's okay."
He smacking his lips.
"We didn't even have milk powder when we were young, didn't we live as usual? Don't think too much, my son, you can't be stupid anyway!"
The woman just smiled reluctantly, but the spoon still went into the soup bowl.Kou Qiu understands that this is her nature as a mother, and she always thinks of the best for her children, so she doesn't say anything, but whispers to the system in her heart: 【You have a good mother. 】
The system boy is very caring, and immediately sweetened his mouth: [Abba, I still have a good father, and that is you. 】
The coaxed old father Kou was elated and calm on the surface, but when he came back the next day, he immediately brought the model airplane that the system had been eagerly saying he wanted.
The couple hurried over, "This is precious! It's not that kind of toy model airplane, it costs two or three thousand, right?"
Brother Xiong disagrees.
"It's such a waste of money for a child to play with such an expensive thing."
The milk doll patted the toy box and started crying and protesting loudly, Kou Qiu smiled and pushed the thing over.
"It's okay," he said, "I'm a godfather, so I should love him a little bit."
Brother Xiong had no choice but to accept it.Turning her head, she said to her son: "See, your godfather loves you so much. When you grow up, you have to take care of him in the old age. Do you know that?"
The system proudly puffed out its small chest, thinking to itself, that's up to you.
Even if I don't support you, I can't help supporting my father!
After all, my father is the one who has been with me for several lifetimes and saved me money to marry a wife!
The TV on the wall is showing the news. Twenty years ago, the rich man in the south who became a vegetable due to a car accident woke up, which can be said to be a representative of life's ups and downs.The man on the hospital bed was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes uncomfortably, and refused to be interviewed by the local reporter.
The one who came out for the interview instead of him was a tall and straight man.
The man's eyelashes are very black, as if drawn with thick ink, and they are densely placed on the eyelids.He closed the door and said coldly, "Everyone, please move."
The reporter holding the microphone followed him noisily.
Kou Qiu stared at the man on TV for a long time.Brother Xiong noticed his gaze and raised his head, "Are you looking at Huo Qi?"
Kou Qiu turned his head, "Huo Qi?"
"Yeah," Xiong Gang said, "You are not from the business world, so you may not know him—"
Unlike them, those who work in financial companies have all heard of this person's reputation.
"This man," he smacked his lips, "don't look at his young age, he hasn't reached forty, but his methods are really amazing. The boss of his family has become a vegetable. For so many years, he is almost the only one who supports him. on."
Kou Qiu did the math, so to speak, this person was not even 20 years old when he started to support the situation.
Xiong Gang saw his thoughts.
"The 20-year-old with that status is very different from our 20-year-old," the neighbor said, "Huo Qi was sent abroad to receive elite education since he was in elementary school. The company has practiced. He is not like us, he just stepped into the society in his early twenties, he is just a fool who doesn't understand anything—"
He pointed to his head.
"People's brains are really sharp."
Kou Qiu asked, "What's the name of that sick boss?"
Unexpectedly, the Xiong family couple exchanged glances, as if they didn't want to say anything.After a long time, Xiong just announced his name, "—named Kou Tianming."
Huo Qi on TV knocked on Kou Qiu's door the next day.
When the doorbell rang, Kou Qiu was still taking a shower in the bathroom.He hurriedly put on his clothes, before drying his hair, he looked outside through the cat's eyes.
"Which one?"
The man outside the door paused, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for you."
Kou Qiu hesitated, looked at the familiar face that he saw on TV yesterday, and opened the door anyway.He poked his head out, a little surprised, "You are looking for me... for something?"
He didn't think that a person with such an identity should have anything to do with him.
Huo Qi didn't answer, his gaze fell directly on him.Such eyes even gave Kou Qiu the illusion that he would be burned, like restrained magma, boiling silently.
He subconsciously moved back, and the man pursed his lips.
"Can I go in?"
"......Um."
Kou Qiu stepped aside.
The room wasn't too big, but the curtains were fully drawn, and the warm sunlight from outside poured in, making the whole house look bright.The decoration is very simple, with very little furniture, and the corners are wrapped with thick cushions, and even the floor is covered with velvet carpets.
The man came alone and sat directly on the sofa.
Kou Qiu sat down beside him, "You..."
The man's long legs crossed, interrupting him.
"My name is Huo Qi."
"I know," Senior Officer Kou said, "I saw you on TV yesterday."
Tea was brewed on the table, Huo Qi reached out to pick up the white porcelain teacup, and sipped Kou.The tea is very clear, swaying, pouring down from the throat, with a unique sweetness.He put down the cup and directly explained the purpose of his visit, "I came here by entrustment."
Kou Qiu stared at him blankly.
The man also looked at him with heavy eyes, unable to tell what was inside.
"Kou Qiu—"
He said that when calling this name, when his thin lips touched up and down, there was an inexplicably more lingering taste.
"Your father asked me to come to see you."
......
Kou Qiu sat where he was, with his hands still on his knees, without any reaction.
The brain stops functioning and thoughts turn to mush.
He could only repeat the man's dialogue mechanically, "Mine, father?"
"Yes," Huo Qi said, frowning slightly, "Your father is Kou Tianming."
He paused, then said, "I'll pick you up and see him."
Kou Qiu was still sitting, his mind was in chaos.He said: "Mr. Huo, you must have made a mistake. I grew up in an orphanage and was abandoned there by my parents. How could I...how could anyone be willing to come and pick me up Father?"
The light in his eyes that lit up when he heard these two words only lasted for a moment, and then went out again, and it was thick with fog.
He forced a smile.
"You...don't be joking."
I will not have a father.
Where did my father come from?
But the voice in my heart was shouting and roaring in disorder, as if trying to tear him apart.Kou Qiu had to take a deep breath to suppress the rising hope. He lowered his head and suddenly rolled up his loose trouser legs, exposing his knees.
There was still a scar that was not completely healed after the operation, like a ferocious centipede, lying on the almost transparent white skin.
"You have also seen it," he said softly, not knowing whether he was convincing the man or himself, "I am in such a situation...that's why I was abandoned."
Kou Qiu doesn't complain, really.
Maybe he complained when he was very young, when he tried to go to elementary school, those classmates all carried beautiful new schoolbags, and what they took out was a tin pencil case with a nine-nine multiplication table printed on it.Kou Qiu didn't have those, all he could take out was a torn cloth bag used by other children in the yard.
There are many children in the orphanage but little money.All of the kids barely used anything brand new.
So Kou Qiu never complained.
The saddest time for him is only when it rains.Those children were sitting in the classroom at that time, and the parents were waiting outside with raincoats and umbrellas. The teacher called a name, and a child went out with a schoolbag, and was immediately wrapped by the parents with a coat; An umbrella, talking, and walking out together.
One by one.
"I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!"
"My mother said, she wants to make me braised chicken wings!"
"I still want to drink a bottle of Coke. I'll see if my dad can buy it for me later..."
The bustling voices gradually died down, and the last classmate who left said, "Goodbye, squeamish."
Kou Qiu sat in his seat, still doing his homework.He said, "Goodbye."
The teacher also took the bag and went out of the classroom. Before leaving, he stopped and asked him, "Kou Qiu, is the teacher seeing you?"
Kou Qiu still stared at the homework book, and said, "No need."
He knew that these teachers lived in a completely different direction from the remote orphanage.
So everyone left, the classroom was empty, and he was the only one left.
Kou Qiu had to avoid the crowd.
He leaned on the window and watched the umbrellas at the school gate slowly drifting away. When the street lights were dimmed, he was drenched in the rain, carefully avoiding the slippery road and walking back.
The dean's mother has to take care of so many children, it is impossible to have time to pick him up.
Kou Qiu knew it very well.But when the starting lights came on, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a look.
Looking at it, he tasted something else.
Salty, not rain.
That was the only time in Kou Qiu's memory that he cried because of this incident.Walking alone in the rain, I choked up sobbing, my shoulders were shaking from crying, but I still had to remind myself not to fall.If it falls, it will cause more trouble in the yard.
It was only then that he thought about it.They gave birth to themselves, why throw themselves away?
But he actually has the answer in his heart.
How could anyone like his body?
His very existence was trouble.
After that, Kou Qiu never cried again, let alone complained.There is nothing to complain about. Nuwa made other people out of clay, but made him extremely fragile.He is so fragile, and he will be broken every now and then, which is not something an ordinary family can bear.
If there are parents, it will only be more tiring for him.
So it might as well be gone.
After that, Kou Qiu strangled all related thoughts to death.If he doesn't look forward to it, naturally he won't be disappointed.
But now, where did the father come from?
His shoulders trembled slightly, but his waist was still straight, stubbornly refusing to believe it.
"Mr. Huo," he said, "you must have made a mistake somewhere."
Huo Qi still looked at him, for some reason, as if he really wanted to reach out and touch his face.
But the man still didn't move in the end, he only said in a deep voice, "That's right."
Kou Qiu opened his eyes wide.
"He has always wanted to find you," Huo Qi said, slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, seemed to remember something, then extinguished it again, and handed over a paternity test, his eyes were very dark Darkly, "He was on his way to find you that day."
The young man suddenly closed his eyes.
"Your mother quarreled with him and thought he was someone outside. At that time, she was in a bad mood and a little depressed, so she committed suicide." The man said, "Before she committed suicide, she gave birth to you and put you in an orphanage .”
"Kou Tianming...he didn't know there was such a son as you. He didn't know until three years later."
"So he went looking for you."
But he didn't find it. Instead, he had a car accident on the way and became a vegetable.The confidant who went with him who knew about this incident also died in a car accident. After that, people in the company clamored for power, and no one cared about what the vegetable boss was doing when he fell down and headed in that direction.
Kou Qiu didn't wait for his family, so he stayed in the orphanage forever.
He's here.Almost all the good-looking and well-behaved children in the courtyard were adopted.Kou Qiu is the first pair of parents who come to see their children to ask the principal, but after knowing that the quiet and handsome boy in the corner actually has such a disease, they still shook their heads one after another .What they want to take home is a child, not a porcelain doll that may shatter at any time.
Some parents feel sorry, and before leaving, they will quietly stuff a lump of sugar into his hand.
But Kou Qiu was not adopted.
"He woke up, and the first thing he did was to look for you." Huo Qi said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, it's been so many years late."
"..."
Kou Qiu's hand moved.
Almost 20 years late.
20 years!
He didn't sit up, but just stared at the front without focus. After a while, he said softly: "Mr. Huo, please go first, I will think about it."
Huo Qi was not surprised, stood up and said, "Okay."
He went out, but instead of going down the stairs, he stood outside the door.
The door was so thin that he could hear the voices inside.
After a long silence, he heard intermittent sobs, like sad, but also relieved - the sound was like dense needles, all pierced in his heart, making him almost unable to bear it, directly Rushed in and hugged the person who didn't dare to cry loudly even when he was wronged.
But he can't.
If you go in at this time, all previous efforts will be wasted.So the man pinched his palm tightly, but he didn't take a step after all.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and stood guard at the door.
...... Qiuqiu.
This is real?
or fake?
Kou Qiu couldn't tell.
But his sudden sadness in that rainy night finally had an answer. It was not because of his own illness that he was thrown down.If he was a little bit more lucky, he might even have a family at that time.
This kind of fantasy is so wonderful that Kou Qiu has to get up two or three times a night, repeatedly confirming the paternity test beside his pillow, to tell himself that it is true.
The couple next door are asleep.The system is still awake, accompanying him, saying: 【Abba? 】
[A cub. 】
Kou Qiu couldn't say anything else, he rubbed the paper with his hand and said repeatedly, 【I'm so happy...】
He is not abandoned, he still has a father.
【I'm so... so happy. 】
The system's eyes were sour, and suddenly felt like crying.
[Abba,] it said, the voice was very firm, 【The future will be better.You have your dad, your father, and me. 】
So, it's time to put all those years of carelessness behind you and move on.
Senior officer Kou was silent for a while, then smiled again.
[Still not throwing it away,] he said, [There are still many beautiful things in it. 】
Still pretending to be my dream.
Life seemed to have renewed hope.Kou Qiu looked at the ceiling and said: [If that kind of treatment technology is really introduced, after the cure, I will go to the civil service exam, right? 】
The system said: [OK. 】
Kou veteran cadre said: [This time, I also want to be those who helped me in the past. 】
Before that, he never had the courage to touch and try those related positions.
Now it seems that it is about time.
[Whatever you want to do, just go,] the system voice is very soft, [Abba, you will definitely be luckier and happier in the future. 】
So those difficulties before have all been turned over.At the beginning, Kou Qiu, who didn't have much contact with people and only had great ideas in his head, now has a lot of love.
He doesn't need to talk about those great principles anymore, and he can live his life well.
This is also happiness.
The next day Kou Qiu called Huo Qi's phone number and said, "I've made up my mind."
The man at the other end was not surprised, and immediately replied: "I'll pick you up."
He was just outside the door, looked up at the surveillance camera, and suddenly moved his fingers.As soon as the red light in the camera went out, he changed his clothes instantly, straightened his collar, and knocked on the door.
Kou Qiu opened the door, a little surprised, "Mr. Huo, so fast?"
Huo Qi said: "Yes."
He came in, his eyes followed Kou Qiu twice, and he tapped the table with his fingers.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Kou Qiu smiled shyly, "I've been thinking about it for a long time."
The man tightened his jaw, "It should."
He paused, and then said, "Do you want to see your father?"
The young man lowered his head, then raised his head again, "Please trouble Mr. Huo."
This is already a default.
Kou Qiu gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and then called softly: "Mr. Huo..."
Huo Qi raised his eyelids and looked at him.
"I want to ask," Kou Qiu said, "Mr. Kou - what kind of clothes does he like?"
He tugged at the corner of the shirt on his body and asked softly, "Would it be better for me to change it?"
Huo Qiding stared at him for a long time, then looked away again.
The man's voice was flat, "No need."
Kou Qiu was still a little apprehensive, "Is it really unnecessary?"
"Ah."
No matter what you look like, he will like you.
this world--
It will hold all the favors it can give in front of you.
If others say this, it is 100% a joke.But Kou Qiu grew up in an orphanage...
If it really touched my heart because I saw myself and my wife's behavior towards the child, wouldn't it make sense?
He pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "If you insist—"
Kou Qiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, Brother Xiong, I accidentally said something wrong."
The couple were visibly relieved.
"It's the first time I've seen such a small child," Kou Qiu was ushered into the bedroom, and when he saw a ball of puff lying in the crib, he expressed his intention, "Brother Xiong, I want to ask, can you Let me be a godfather to this child?"
"What's wrong with that!"
Xiong Gang is a heroic man, so he immediately agreed.He saw Kou Qiu standing where he was relieved but didn't dare to go forward, so he simply rolled up his sleeves, picked up the child, and stuffed it into his arms forcefully.
"Come on, come and give me a hug too."
The system popped out a milk bubble from its mouth.
Very soft, this is the first feeling.It was as soft as touching a cloud.
Kou Qiu hugged it carefully, as if holding a time bomb, ready to throw the things in his arms out at any time.
Brother Xiong was amused by him.
"That's not it," he stretched out his hand and helped the young man adjust his position, "Come on, put your hand here..."

Maybe he complained when he was very young, when he tried to go to elementary school, those classmates all carried beautiful new schoolbags, and what they took out was a tin pencil case with a nine-nine multiplication table printed on it.Kou Qiu didn't have those, all he could take out was a torn cloth bag used by other children in the yard.
There are many children in the orphanage but little money.All of the kids barely used anything brand new.
So Kou Qiu never complained.
The saddest time for him is only when it rains.Those children were sitting in the classroom at that time, and the parents were waiting outside with raincoats and umbrellas. The teacher called a name, and a child went out with a schoolbag, and was immediately wrapped by the parents with a coat; An umbrella, talking, and walking out together.
One by one.
"I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!"
"My mother said, she wants to make me braised chicken wings!"
"I still want to drink a bottle of Coke. I'll see if my dad can buy it for me later..."
The bustling voices gradually died down, and the last classmate who left said, "Goodbye, squeamish."
Kou Qiu sat in his seat, still doing his homework.He said, "Goodbye."
The teacher also took the bag and went out of the classroom. Before leaving, he stopped and asked him, "Kou Qiu, is the teacher seeing you?"
Kou Qiu still stared at the homework book, and said, "No need."
He knew that these teachers lived in a completely different direction from the remote orphanage.
So everyone left, the classroom was empty, and he was the only one left.
Kou Qiu had to avoid the crowd.
He leaned on the window and watched the umbrellas at the school gate slowly drifting away. When the street lights were dimmed, he was drenched in the rain, carefully avoiding the slippery road and walking back.
The dean's mother has to take care of so many children, it is impossible to have time to pick him up.
Kou Qiu knew it very well.But when the starting lights came on, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a look.
Looking at it, he tasted something else.
Salty, not rain.
That was the only time in Kou Qiu's memory that he cried because of this incident.Walking alone in the rain, I choked up sobbing, my shoulders were shaking from crying, but I still had to remind myself not to fall.If it falls, it will cause more trouble in the yard.
It was only then that he thought about it.They gave birth to themselves, why throw themselves away?
But he actually has the answer in his heart.
How could anyone like his body?
His very existence was trouble.
After that, Kou Qiu never cried again, let alone complained.There is nothing to complain about. Nuwa made other people out of clay, but made him extremely fragile.He is so fragile, and he will be broken every now and then, which is not something an ordinary family can bear.
If there are parents, it will only be more tiring for him.
So it might as well be gone.
After that, Kou Qiu strangled all related thoughts to death.If he doesn't look forward to it, naturally he won't be disappointed.
But now, where did the father come from?
His shoulders trembled slightly, but his waist was still straight, stubbornly refusing to believe it.
"Mr. Huo," he said, "you must have made a mistake somewhere."
Huo Qi still looked at him, for some reason, as if he really wanted to reach out and touch his face.
But the man still didn't move in the end, he only said in a deep voice, "That's right."
Kou Qiu opened his eyes wide.
"He has always wanted to find you," Huo Qi said, slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, seemed to remember something, then extinguished it again, and handed over a paternity test, his eyes were very dark Darkly, "He was on his way to find you that day."
The young man suddenly closed his eyes.
"Your mother quarreled with him and thought he was someone outside. At that time, she was in a bad mood and a little depressed, so she committed suicide." The man said, "Before she committed suicide, she gave birth to you and put you in an orphanage .”
"Kou Tianming...he didn't know there was such a son as you. He didn't know until three years later."
"So he went looking for you."
But he didn't find it. Instead, he had a car accident on the way and became a vegetable.The confidant who went with him who knew about this incident also died in a car accident. After that, people in the company clamored for power, and no one cared about what the vegetable boss was doing when he fell down and headed in that direction.
Kou Qiu didn't wait for his family, so he stayed in the orphanage forever.
He's here.Almost all the good-looking and well-behaved children in the courtyard were adopted.Kou Qiu is the first pair of parents who come to see their children to ask the principal, but after knowing that the quiet and handsome boy in the corner actually has such a disease, they still shook their heads one after another .What they want to take home is a child, not a porcelain doll that may shatter at any time.
Some parents feel sorry, and before leaving, they will quietly stuff a lump of sugar into his hand.
But Kou Qiu was not adopted.
"He woke up, and the first thing he did was to look for you." Huo Qi said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, it's been so many years late."
"..."
Kou Qiu's hand moved.
Almost 20 years late.
20 years!
He didn't sit up, but just stared at the front without focus. After a while, he said softly: "Mr. Huo, please go first, I will think about it."
Huo Qi was not surprised, stood up and said, "Okay."
He went out, but instead of going down the stairs, he stood outside the door.
The door was so thin that he could hear the voices inside.
After a long silence, he heard intermittent sobs, like sad, but also relieved - the sound was like dense needles, all pierced in his heart, making him almost unable to bear it, directly Rushed in and hugged the person who didn't dare to cry loudly even when he was wronged.
But he can't.
If you go in at this time, all previous efforts will be wasted.So the man pinched his palm tightly, but he didn't take a step after all.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and stood guard at the door.
...... Qiuqiu.
This is real?
or fake?
Kou Qiu couldn't tell.
But his sudden sadness in that rainy night finally had an answer. It was not because of his own illness that he was thrown down.If he was a little bit more lucky, he might even have a family at that time.
This kind of fantasy is so wonderful that Kou Qiu has to get up two or three times a night, repeatedly confirming the paternity test beside his pillow, to tell himself that it is true.
The couple next door are asleep.The system is still awake, accompanying him, saying: 【Abba? 】
[A cub. 】
Kou Qiu couldn't say anything else, he rubbed the paper with his hand and said repeatedly, 【I'm so happy...】
He is not abandoned, he still has a father.
【I'm so... so happy. 】
The system's eyes were sour, and suddenly felt like crying.
[Abba,] it said, the voice was very firm, 【The future will be better.You have your dad, your father, and me. 】
So, it's time to put all those years of carelessness behind you and move on.
Senior officer Kou was silent for a while, then smiled again.
[Still not throwing it away,] he said, [There are still many beautiful things in it. 】
Still pretending to be my dream.
Life seemed to have renewed hope.Kou Qiu looked at the ceiling and said: [If that kind of treatment technology is really introduced, after the cure, I will go to the civil service exam, right? 】
The system said: [OK. 】
Kou veteran cadre said: [This time, I also want to be those who helped me in the past. 】
Before that, he never had the courage to touch and try those related positions.
Now it seems that it is about time.
[Whatever you want to do, just go,] the system voice is very soft, [Abba, you will definitely be luckier and happier in the future. 】
So those difficulties before have all been turned over.At the beginning, Kou Qiu, who didn't have much contact with people and only had great ideas in his head, now has a lot of love.
He doesn't need to talk about those great principles anymore, and he can live his life well.
This is also happiness.
The next day Kou Qiu called Huo Qi's phone number and said, "I've made up my mind."
The man at the other end was not surprised, and immediately replied: "I'll pick you up."
He was just outside the door, looked up at the surveillance camera, and suddenly moved his fingers.As soon as the red light in the camera went out, he changed his clothes instantly, straightened his collar, and knocked on the door.
Kou Qiu opened the door, a little surprised, "Mr. Huo, so fast?"
Huo Qi said: "Yes."
He came in, his eyes followed Kou Qiu twice, and he tapped the table with his fingers.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Kou Qiu smiled shyly, "I've been thinking about it for a long time."
The man tightened his jaw, "It should."
He paused, and then said, "Do you want to see your father?"
The young man lowered his head, then raised his head again, "Please trouble Mr. Huo."
This is already a default.
Kou Qiu gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and then called softly: "Mr. Huo..."
Huo Qi raised his eyelids and looked at him.
"I want to ask," Kou Qiu said, "Mr. Kou - what kind of clothes does he like?"
He tugged at the corner of the shirt on his body and asked softly, "Would it be better for me to change it?"
Huo Qiding stared at him for a long time, then looked away again.
The man's voice was flat, "No need."
Kou Qiu was still a little apprehensive, "Is it really unnecessary?"
"Ah."
No matter what you look like, he will like you.
this world--
It will hold all the favors it can give in front of you.
