Several people present were taken aback.

Xiong Gang and his wife were also overjoyed. They lowered their heads and touched the soft little face of the neighbor's child, "Oh, you are so young, you already know which one belongs to you? But this is not right, what you saw, It's my brother."

The child did not change his words, and still stretched out his arms stubbornly, "Mine."

The newly moved couple laughed even more awkwardly.

They tried to get their child to let go, but failed to persuade him left and right. In the end, they could only leave him for the time being, and stood and greeted the neighbors by themselves.Kou Qiu occasionally said a few words, and also had a rough understanding of the family's situation.

The couple had not been able to have children before.It may be because of physical reasons, after so many years, I always wanted one.Now that it is so easy to have a son, it is naturally as painful as being a sweetheart.

However, this child was a little slow to react.Everything else is fine, especially when he speaks very slowly, and he has to think hard for a long time to say a word.

The male owner of the family is quite happy to let the children find the system to play more, "Follow your children, they seem smarter."

Xiong Gang laughed and laughed: "Now some children develop late, it's okay, it will be fine after a while."

"It's fine if that's the case," the hostess said with a bitter smile on his lips, "Oh..."

He didn't continue to talk, but instead asked the names of the Xiong family.

Xiong Gang proudly introduced his son: "This is Xiong Wei."

Xiong Wei was sitting in the stroller, looking left and right with his big black eyes, clear like black gemstones soaked in mercury.He didn't know where he was poked, and the corner of his mouth curled up, and he started to giggle, the laughter was light and crisp, as sweet as a piece of soft cotton candy.

The neighbor looked at these two sweet pear dimples, and really couldn't associate this face with the name Xiong Wei, "Xiong..."

Xiong Gang was still very proud.

"Is it a good name?"

The other parent had no choice but to agree with a dry smile, "Good name, good name."

When they came this time, they just said hello and left after a few words.After calling out the baby, the couple was about to go home. They were saying goodbye to Xiong Gang and Kou Qiu, but found that their child was struggling to lift the little arms, trying to get the system out of the stroller.

The system stared at him blankly, drooling.

"Bah?"

The little boy exhausted all his strength, and his face was flushed red.His hands were trembling slightly, but he held the system firmly so that the person he held in his hands would not fall.

"Baby!"

The parents were so frightened that they hurried forward and carefully took the child in his hands, "Baby, what are you doing here?"

The boy's dark eyes flashed, and his lips were pursed, showing a rare expression of displeasure.

"......mine."

Pointing at the system, he said aggrievedly.

Parents couldn't laugh or cry, and taught him, "This is someone else's child!"

At this time, the child couldn't reason at all, and stubbornly decided, "Mine."

He held the system's hand tightly, and then raised the bib with his hand to wipe the saliva dripping from the system's mouth, "It's mine, take it back."

This sentence is really shocking.

On the one hand, the parents were surprised at how their child spoke so quickly, and on the other hand they were surprised at his enthusiasm for the children next door. After thinking about it, it could only be attributed to the fact that he hadn’t seen other children much, and they looked at him embarrassedly. Xiong Gang and his wife laughed: "This child, really. I almost dropped my brother. I must educate him when I go back..."

Xiong Gang has always been broad-minded, so he naturally wouldn't take this seriously, "Hey, it's just a small matter between children."

He sent his neighbor out and greeted him warmly, "Come again when you are free."

The little boy was taken home forcibly by his parents, each holding a hand.Until he was far away, he was still looking back frequently.

Very reluctantly.

Xiong Gang and his wife watched and couldn't help laughing.

"It's so sticky, if it's a girl, it would be nice to be a wife for our Weiwei."

Xiong Gang's wife patted him, "What are you talking about?"

She has always been very open-minded about these things, and retorted softly, "You have to tell the child that it doesn't matter even if it's a boy."

The world is changing with each passing day, and it is no longer stuck in the old concepts of the year.

Xiong Gang touched his head and laughed.

"Yes."

He turned to look at Kou Qiu, remembered something, and said, "A few days ago, my mother called me and asked you, Qiu."

Kou Qiu met Xiong Gang's parents. Before retiring, the old couple were people's teachers. They were kind and kind.Kou Qiu lived here, and whenever the old man came to see Xiong Gang, he often gave him things.The loofah leaves grown in the family's field, bundles of watery green vegetables, and the kind of cakes he made, all warm, were delivered to his house.Kou Qiu is grateful to the old man, and will come to play chess with the old man when he is free.

Xiong Gang smiled and said: "Now that they are free, they like to worry about the love affairs of you guys. Before, my mother asked me if you plan to find one. If you really plan to find one, she can also help to make contact."

This is probably an unavoidable question for everyone who has stepped into the ranks of 20 years old.Kou Qiu pursed his lips, and didn't intend to hide it from them, and said directly: "I have it."

Xiong Gang and his wife were taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

"Yes? When?"

Kou Qiu said, "Several lifetimes ago."

He was telling the truth, but Brother Xiong took it as a joke and laughed, "Really? Then it's been a few lifetimes, and you still have the same person?"

Kou Qiu said seriously: "Yes."

Let alone these few lifetimes, even if there are another ten lifetimes, his choice will not change.

No matter how other people are, he only sees one in his eyes, and pretends to be the next.He is the only one who can make him feel such yearning and admiration.

Xiong Gang laughed even more, not taking this seriously at all.He patted Kou Qiu on the shoulder and said, "You may have written too many novels."

Kou Qiu is usually in the house, and the industries he can engage in are limited.Fortunately, the person who funded him before was very familiar with him and provided him with a way to make a living.In addition to helping them draft some speeches or official documents, Kou Qiu also contributes articles to magazines and occasionally writes short stories, which can be regarded as a half freelancer.

Although they don't make much money, they are always enough for food and clothing.The downside is that no matter what he says now, it sounds like his imagination in the novel was too scattered, affecting reality.

Kou Qiu was a little helpless and didn't explain anymore.

Brother Xiong was very curious about his one, and asked, "Who is it?"

Kou Qiu just laughed, the prickly dimple was deep.

Brother Xiong read a bit secretive, so he pouted dissatisfiedly and turned his head, "Don't talk about it, can you not bring him to see his parents in the future?"

——Speaking of which, it was the problem with seeing the parents.

Kou Qiu is thinking now, but still a little worried.His lover didn't get along well with his biological father, whom he finally found, which was not a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

The system was not worried, and patted him to make him make another pot of milk powder for himself, and then said to Kou Qiu while sucking with relish: [That is not an ordinary person, that is dad. 】

How could its wise and powerful father and husband be bound by this kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship?

Kou Qiu: [...The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? 】

Something seems not quite right.

The system shrewdly said: [They are almost the same.Anyway, Dad can definitely solve these little problems. 】

Kou Qiu thought about it, but he also felt the same way.

When he went downstairs, Su Jun was already waiting at the door.The young man is well-dressed and has a handsome face. Standing under the tree, he looks like a pictorial.Xiong Gang sent Kou Qiu down, and when he saw this person, he couldn't help being stunned.

"This is......"

Kou Qiu said, "It's Steward Su."

While they were talking, Su Jun had already stepped forward, politely and slightly bowed to Xiong Gang.Afterwards, he helped Kou Qiu open the door of the passenger seat, and carefully put his palm against the other's head, "Slow down."

It wasn't until Kou Qiu sat in that he closed the door and walked around to the other side.

Xiong Gang looked at these with a strange expression.

Although he looks carefree, in fact he is very delicate and accurate in judging people.After going upstairs, I couldn't help but said to my daughter-in-law: "I think the housekeeper in Qiu's house is a bit like Huo Qi who came back last time."

His wife couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it," she pushed him, and said, "Two people, no matter how similar they are, how similar can they be? - Can they still grow into twins?"

Xiong Gang couldn't tell.

He didn't even know which part of the resemblance they had, but they just felt familiar.But it was really absurd to say that, he also smiled and said, "Maybe it's an illusion."

I never mentioned it again.

Su Jun took good care of Kou Qiu's life.He is more like a taciturn shadow, standing quietly behind his master in normal times, and he is basically responsible for daily life alone.He is familiar with all Kou Qiu's emotions.

Kou Qiu sometimes even has the illusion that this person doesn't seem to have followed him for only a few days.

Instead, he followed him for several lifetimes.

Kou Qiu's body is special, so he needs to be more careful in this late autumn and early winter.In the villa, the heating was turned on early and floor heating was installed, and several humidifiers were operating at the same time to prevent the air from being too dry.Kou Qiu's skin was already pale, but against the background of this weather and dark clothes, it became whiter and almost transparent, coupled with his thin body, it looked as if it could be shattered silently at any time.

He was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, while Su Jun beside him took out his quilt, dangling it on the rope and drying it together.The small soup cup is filled with stewed Sydney Chuanbei soup, which is sweet and nourishing. When you drink it, it can keep warm from your throat to your stomach.

Huo Qi closed the door at this time.

Su Jun turned and entered the room, only Kou Qiu raised his head from the white mist in the soup cup, and saw him at a glance.The man was wrapped in a dark coat with a stand-up collar, his eyebrows and eyes were deeper, and his demeanor was cold and hard. Seeing that Kou Qiu had noticed him, he pointed to the back of the house.

Kou Qiu understood, put the soup cup on the table and said, "I'll go back and have a rest."

The nanny was trimming the flowers in the yard with her back to the gate. Hearing this, she wiped her hands on her apron and hurriedly responded.

"Does the young master still need dinner?"

Kou Qiu's heart seemed to be filled with a live rabbit, and now it was alive and kicking, all the thoughts that had been forced down before were all alive, so there was no time to think about dinner, "I won't eat."

He immediately stepped into the door and took a special look at Su Jun's figure.

Very good, sitting in the housekeeper's own room, as if he was writing something with his head down.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Kou Qiu slipped to the back.

The backyard is a narrow and low wall, which is not that high.Kou Qiu stood aside to let the wind blow, the man's hand supported his head, and he rolled over neatly.

His body was still cold from the outside, and his hands were slightly cold.

"Qiuqiu."

Kou Qiu said, "Uncle Huo!"

He held the man's hand in his own, excited and uneasy, "Why are you here? My dad said he won't let you come these days..."

What he said was against his will, as if the person who complained about Huo Qi's obedience a few days ago was not himself.Senior officer Kou felt guilty when he said that, he lowered his head slightly, and the man laughed deeply.

He stamped his thin lips on the young man's forehead, and said briefly, "I just miss Qiuqiu."

Kou Qiu held his hand, only blushing and smiling.

The two of them tiptoed carefully as if they were fighting guerrillas, and went immediately when they were not prepared.In order to facilitate Kou Qiu's actions and reduce hidden dangers, an elevator was installed in the villa.Kou Qiu pulled the man into the elevator, and took him to his room familiarly.

Once the door is closed and the curtains are drawn, it seems like a world where two people are alone.

The man's clothes were also covered with chills, and the room felt warm. Huo Qi took off his outer coat and only wore a dark sweater.

Kou Qiu was sitting on his lap, and the two of them were close to each other, talking in a low voice, and had to pay attention to the movement outside the room from time to time.

Such a private meeting is very similar to Romeo and Juliet.

It has been several days since we saw each other, and the simple conversation at the beginning quickly changed its meaning.Huo Qi kissed him down and down, although his eyes were heavy and his heart was full of emotions as if he wanted to eat people, but his movements were actually very light.The hands are gently fixed on the back of Kou Qiu's head, not hurting him a bit.

Like two matches, they were about to be ignited in a blink of an eye.

It was scorching hot.

Kou Qiu's head has turned into a paste, but he still has some rationality.He struggled a little, his eyes were red, and he shouted, "Uncle Huo..."

This sound brought back a little of the man's sanity.He let out a heavy breath, put his big head on the young man's shoulder, and did not move.

The match hadn't gone out, it was still burning.

Kou Qiu touched his hair, apologetic in his heart.

"Uncle Huo," he whispered, "I'm sorry for you."

With his body, let alone bear any kind of violent wind and rain.Just a mild drizzle could have knocked him down.If a bone breaks in the middle of the rain, it's not fun, it's fright.

Kou Qiu felt guilty, and his voice was soft.The redness around his eyes hasn't completely faded away, and his expression is very obedient now, more like a rabbit with red eyes and white fur.

Huo Qi only glanced at him, then quickly looked away.

The man's voice was hoarse.

"Qiuqiu..."

After a soft sigh, the man's hand covered his eyes, which was as soft as a sigh.

"Don't recruit me again."

So Kou Qiu obediently sat in his arms, waiting for the flame to burn out by itself and go out.

But the man paused, but placed him on the table.Kou Qiu leaned against the cold and hard tabletop, and was taken aback for a moment.

Huo Qi is undressing him.

"Uncle Huo?"

"good."

The man said, and kissed again as if relieved, but his voice was unquestionable, "Qiuqiu hasn't tried it yet?"

"..."

That's a good point.Before time travel, Kou Qiu's daily routine was that of a standard veteran cadre.Go to bed early and get up early, make tea with wolfberries and red dates, and play two sections of Baduanjin if you have nothing to do. The life trajectory is basically synchronized with the grandparents in the sunset red apartment for the elderly.

Not to mention trying, he never even had such an idea.

Of course, I dare not have it.

In case a match breaks...it's no joke.

Speaking of this now, Kou Qiu is still worried, "But—"

"fine."

Huo Qi said, staring at him deeply, the head there was like a bottomless deep pool, when people looked at it, it was like stepping on the void and falling down with one foot, "I am here."

The young man's trust in him was almost blind. At first, his arms were still around his neck in panic, he gritted his teeth and dared not say a word, and the lines of his whole body were tense.But later on, he obviously got a lot of fun out of it, but he was still a little scared, "Don't push yourself..."

The man kissed him repeatedly, reassuring, "It's okay."

He said, "Uncle loves you."

This is a beautiful piece of porcelain.

In the past 20 years since its birth, it has basically been well protected and has not seen much light.Its neck is smooth and the mouth of the bottle is round, with the exquisiteness unique to porcelain. When touched, it is smooth and pitiful.

Huo Qi obviously liked it very much, played with it again and again, it seemed that he wished he could take this piece of porcelain home directly.

He not only likes it, but also teaches Kou Qiu how to do it.

This kind of kneading clay usually doesn't have any molds, so it needs to be done many times by yourself, and you can find out the tricks from it, so that you can make it quickly and well.Of course, the better the porcelain, the more time-consuming it usually takes. It requires the young man's hand to stick tightly to the top and rub it up and down repeatedly, until the top and tail are all formed, the shape is full and round, and then sprayed for a while. Tempering, this is the completion of a production process.

Kou Qiu was taught to do it for the first time, and almost crushed the soil embryo in his hand.Huo Qi had no choice but to do it himself, covering his hands and guiding him step by step.

Two porcelains are put together and shaped together.Finally, when it was finally formed, Kou Qiu's hands were covered with splashed pottery clay.

After learning a craft, it goes without saying that I feel satisfied, but the feeling of exhaustion is also real.Kou Qiu was carried off the table, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

His body is too weak.

The arm hanging on the edge of the bed is very thin, and the light blue blood vessels can be vaguely seen in it.He was lying on the bed, like a flower branch that had been shaken out of dew and could only tremble and tremble.The thin ones seem to be cut off as soon as you reach out.

Huo Qi's hand patted his back, and the other hand stroked his neck.It feels warm to the touch, and the tendons inside are throbbing. Inside this fragile body, there is a heart.

Huo Qi knew that this heart was almost indestructible.

He kissed lovingly between the brows again.

——When did you start noticing it?

Even the man himself can't tell.

He has existed in this world for many ten thousand years, and was built together with this world.He is the guardian of justice and order, watching everything in this world keep turning according to the established trajectory.

There are many other companions like him.Sooner or later, they gradually awakened their consciousness.

But even if they are awakened, these busy people or things are meaningless to them.

Until the world starts to favor someone.

When the man noticed Kou Qiu for the first time, Kou Qiu was five years old.

A five-year-old boy was sitting alone on a chair in the corner, wearing a striped sweater that was out of date.He put his hands quietly together, his eyes were clear, and he watched the children playing in the yard.A ball rolled to his feet, and the boys in the yard clapped their hands for him to throw it back, but the little girl patted it down.

The girl had a childish voice, but she spoke like an adult, "Kou Qiu is not in good health, how can you let him pick up the ball! Why don't you be lazy?"

The little boy sitting in the corner smiled.There is a very special kind of blue in his eyes, which is light and faint. When you see it, you can think of a clear sky.

"It's all right," he said, bending over and throwing the ball, "—I'll do it."

It was the first time, the man couldn't explain why, but his heart suddenly moved.

He watched this area, originally to see if a criminal who committed a heinous crime escaped here, and whether he died on the right track.

But at that moment, he lost his mind.

Although only for a short moment.

The second notice was a few months later.As he scanned his territory again, he saw the thin figure being hurriedly loaded into the ambulance.The dean, who was still young at that time, trotted into the car, his face full of panic.

"...will need an operation. If not, he could be paralyzed and lose his hearing."

The dean gritted his teeth and said, "Do it."

But where did the money come from?

Their small orphanage simply cannot afford the cost of such an operation.

Kou Qiu is very sensible.He struggled to hear clearly on the hospital bed, and when the nurse came again and tried to give him an injection, he turned his head and refused.

"No need to fight," he said vaguely, "thank you, sister."

Those eyes were black and white, with a touch of blue.He opened his eyes, there were no tears, let alone resentment.

He pressed the back of his hand when no one was around, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the needle inserted in the back of his hand.His legs were still hurting, and he had no strength, so he slowly leaned against the wall and moved out step by step.

Under the silent gaze of the world, the child's hand took the dean's hand.

"Dean's mother..." he said softly, "We are dying."

He pushed people out.

"It's all right," he said, "I'm all right..."

The world watched him for more than ten years.

The world never realized what kind of heart he saw.

This heart has many deficiencies.He has a lot of ignorance, a lot of stubbornness, and a lot of persistence that can be called strange and inexplicable in the eyes of outsiders.This heart is always held high, and I dare not let it go. Every step I take is like stepping on smooth thin ice, which may shatter at any time.

But the heart is still shining.

He shines silently, but the world sees the light.

So, as Tagore sang, the world took off its vast mask to its lover.It got smaller, as small as a song, as small as an eternal kiss.
