Chapter 36 of 1

Qiao Lianjian still clearly remembers that the first time he met Gu Xunze was the year his father died.

He happened to be seven years old that year, just at the age of sensible.The shock of the sudden death of a close relative and the heavy burden on him forced him to grow up quickly.

Gu Xunze was only two years older than him, but he already looked mature and steady.

Gu Xunze's father, Gu Boxun, is the housekeeper of the Qiao family. This honest and loyal old man has served the Qiao family for 20 years, and has always been diligent and dedicated.

The unexpected death of the head of the Qiao family is equivalent to the collapse of the spine. A lot of difficult things followed one after another. Qiao's mother suffered a heavy blow and has not yet come out of extreme grief. Those financial statements bombarded It made her vulnerable heart even more shattered.

And Qiao Lianjian, the only heir of the Qiao family, was too young.It is said that those rich boys are always very precocious, but Qiao Lianjian is an exception.Half a month ago, he was still playing with mud in the yard and having fun.

Therefore, some big and small matters in the family can only be handled by Gu Boxun.During that difficult period, Gu Boxun almost became the spiritual pillar of the Qiao family.

Gu Boxun was old enough to have a son, but his beloved wife died in an accident a few years ago.His son is his only relative in this world, so it is only natural that he dotes on his only son, Gu Xunze.

But during that time, he really had no time to take care of his son. After discussing with Qiao's mother, he decided to take Gu Xunze to live with Qiao's house for a while.The two children always have a companion. By the way, Gu Xunze, as the older brother, can enlighten Qiao Lianjian, who has been depressed and serious these days.

When Gu Xunze met Qiao Lianjian for the first time, he was standing under the huge pagoda tree in Qiao's yard.The large area of ​​thick shadow cast down surrounded Qiao Lianjian's smaller body, like an airtight cage.Against the background of the big tree, Qiao Lianjian looked very small, his thin shoulders were vulnerable.

At this time, Qiao Lianjian was struggling to raise his head, looking at the densely packed tree crowns - he didn't know what good things were there.

Gu Xunze hid aside, observing Qiao Lianjian's every move.However, Qiao Lianjian just maintained the movement of raising his head, tirelessly, for 10 minutes, 10 minutes...

Gu Xunze couldn't help becoming curious, and cast his eyes on the rather old locust tree.The distance between them was a bit far away, and Gu Xunze could only see the dense branches and leaves covering each other from this angle, and the lush greenery obscured his entire field of vision.

He finally couldn't hold back anymore, and walked to Qiao Lianjian's side - Qiao Lianjian was much shorter than him at that time, he had to lower his head slightly to see Qiao Lianjian's face clearly.

He has facial features that haven't fully grown yet, with the immaturity and innocence that all children have, but the profile is very delicate, and now you can even vaguely see how this kid will use this handsome face to capture the hearts of girls when he grows up .

Qiao Lianjian seemed unaware of the sudden appearance of a stranger beside him. He opened his mouth slightly, his sharp eyes piercing through the thick branches and leaves, and fixed on a certain point.He was staring at it so obsessively, as if he wanted to drag the time at this moment until the sea was dry and the stone was broken.After a long time, he seemed to finally feel the soreness in his neck, and his head suddenly drooped, only then did he notice Gu Xunze who had been standing beside him for a long time.

Qiao Lianjian smiled sweetly at him very educatedly: "Hello, brother."

Gu Xunze finally couldn't help but asked the doubt in his heart: "What are you looking at?"

Qiao Lianjian stretched out his finger and pointed to the green leaves: "Bird's Nest."

Gu Xunze looked in the direction he pointed, and found that under the "cover" of branches and leaves, there was indeed a bird's nest made of wood.The work is exquisite, and the materials and paint are very particular.

The tip of Gu Xunze's nose smelled a little bit of Huaihua fragrance, and it entered the internal organs along the respiratory tract, and his whole body relaxed.

Qiao Lianjian, who was on the side, stared straight at the bird's nest, and said softly, "My father made it. I found a few little sparrows perched there a while ago, so I begged my father to make it for me." One, give them a home. But, since yesterday, I can’t see those little birds anymore. Did they fly out to play and couldn’t find their way back? Or are they simply tired of this place?”

Listening to the little boy's sentimental words, Gu Xunze thought to himself, "So he was waiting for those little sparrows."

Perhaps, what he was waiting for was not a little sparrow, but a layer of psychological sustenance.

Gu Xunze let out a "huh", looked at Qiao Lianjian's expectant face, and silently prayed in his heart that those little sparrows would come back soon.

Qiao Lianjian basically didn't regard Gu Xunze as an outsider anymore. Perhaps it was because there was no one close to his age to confide in. He talked a lot in one breath: "My mother never told me about my father's serious illness. Until A week ago, she took me to the ward. My father who had been on a "business trip" was lying there sickly, with all kinds of weird tubes stuck in his body. At that time, my father didn't look like the father I knew. I didn't recognize it until he called out my name intermittently. I didn't know what was going on, and I froze for a while."

Gu Xunze listened attentively, the sparse sunlight streaming over his eyelashes.

Qiao Lianjian, who had been pretending to be strong, sniffed spinelessly at this moment: "If only Mom had told me earlier, I could have spent more time with Dad and encouraged Dad more. Maybe Dad saw me like this If you are sensible, you will be reluctant to leave..."

Gu Xunze didn't know what to say to comfort him.Like in the TV series, saying "In fact, your father has not left you, as long as you believe, he will always be by your side, silently guarding you"?

Although Qiao Lianjian was young, the accident in vain had made him a lot more rational.Gu Xunze was unwilling to use this usual rhetoric to deceive him.

Qiao Lianjian squatted down, his thin body shrunk into a ball: "Yesterday, they took me to my father's study. There was a birthday gift he left for me - until that year. He said that from now on, I will be He's an adult, he doesn't need to prepare presents anymore."

Qiao Lianjian counted for Gu Xunze one by one with his fingers: "Because I'm going to school this year, this year's gift is a schoolbag with the pattern of my favorite superhero. The second year's gift is a set of toys, Dad Said that this was the set I had been relying on him to buy last time. But he felt that I shouldn't be so willful at the time, so he rejected me cruelly. But afterwards, he still felt unbearable and bought it back for me. The third year My present is a doll, and my father said that I might already have a little girl with whom I have a good relationship at this time, so let me give this to her. The gift for the fourth year is a book, and my father said that I have already met many people at this time. There are few words, you have to learn to read by yourself, and understand the truth in this world... My birthday gift that year was a very long letter, very long, very long, difficult to understand, many words I have never seen Yes. I think it was written for me, but it’s okay, I will grow up and understand soon. There is also a jewelry box with a string of crystal necklaces. Dad said, when I was, my mother was 40 Let me give her this necklace with my own hands and tell her: 'Thank you for your hard work, I love you'."

After Qiao Lianjian finished speaking so much in one breath, he seemed to feel refreshed. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was about to struggle to stand up—his legs were numb after squatting for too long.

For some reason, Gu Xunze seemed to see his own shadow in Qiao Lianjian.

He lost his mother earlier and more ignorantly.Just knowing that his mother can no longer talk to him, he feels that the sky is about to fall.

What kind of heart-piercing feeling does an important person disappear from your life suddenly?

It was as if an important organ of the body had been pulled off abruptly, dripping with blood.But you still have to keep your broken body upright and continue walking all the way.Go on ignorantly and fearlessly.

Although this long road has no end.

Gu Xunze walked up to him and extended his hand to Qiao Lianjian.

Qiao Lianjian hesitated for a while, grabbed hold of it, and stood up.

For the first time in the past few days, he showed a real smile: "I'm hungry, let's go eat cake!"

That year, the great sorrow was like a huge shadow cast by the trees, and Qiao Lianjian was shrouded in it like a trapped animal.He doesn't struggle because he can't do anything.And the appearance of Gu Xunze, like the sunlight shining through the dense branches and leaves, helped him drive away the darkness.

From that moment on, Gu Xunze was an extraordinary existence to him.

After a period of depression, the Qiao family finally revived.Qiao's mother, a pretentious woman, used her thin shoulders to prop up half of the sky of Qiao's family again.

Father Qiao was kind to others during his lifetime and was very popular with others.Others also thought that it was not easy for Qiao's mother to be alone, and there was no one in the family who could help her. In terms of company management, they were very generous to help.The Qiao family was back on track.

Qiao's mother was grateful to Gu Boxun for his unwavering commitment to the Qiao family, and proposed to take Gu Xunze to be raised by Qiao's family. In this way, Gu Xunze could be closer to Gu Boxun and take better care of him.

Qiao's mother actually has another meaning - Gu Xunze has always been an honest and well-behaved child, with perfect marks in his homework and never making trouble.Qiao's mother hopes that Qiao Lianjian will follow him and use him as a role model to learn more about his strengths and strengths.

But our dude, Young Master Qiao, just couldn't understand his mother's painstaking efforts.

Not only did Gu Xunze fail to be a role model for Qiao Lianjian, he even had a tendency to be led astray by Qiao Lianjian.

Young Master Qiao dragged him to skip class every day and taught him some bad habits.

No, Gu Xunze also likes to watch TV while eating recently.

However, what makes others feel strange is that in terms of status and status, one is the only son of a chaebol who has inherited all the inheritance, and his future life will be smooth and glamorous; while the other is just the son of a housekeeper, no matter what happens, he has to be Gu Xunze as Qiao Lianjian. my follower.

Why, instead, Qiao Lianjian chased after her butt?

Qiao Lianjian's side seemed to be unable to do without Gu Xunze for a moment.Gu Xunze had to be with him when eating, otherwise he would lose his temper.Recently, even to sleep, she has to huddle with Gu Xunze, otherwise she won't be able to sleep all night.The next day, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes, and had to find Gu Xunze to act like a baby.It seemed that in front of Gu Xunze, he would never grow up the same.

Others laughed, saying that no brothers could be so close.

However, Gu Xunze also dutifully fulfilled his duty as a "brother", cared for Qiao Lianjian meticulously, and tolerated all his willfulness without limit.Gu Xunze is like a little adult in many ways, and there are many things that Qiao's mother doesn't need to worry about.

Gu Boxun worked hard for the Qiao family for most of his life, but he always felt that he was just a lowly servant.

When he was young, he made improper friends and was cheated out of a lot of money.At that time, there was no way out, and only Qiao's father thought he was honest, so he was willing to take him.All along, Father Qiao never regarded him as an outsider, and he helped him a lot in the open and in the dark.Even many of Gu Xunze's toys were specially brought back by Qiao's father from abroad.

But Gu Boxun always felt sorry.He was relieved to see his son playing well with the young master of the Qiao family, but he still warned his son earnestly: "The Qiao family is our benefactor, we can never abandon their family for the rest of our lives, understand? The Qiao family treats you Well, you have to be grateful, but you can't overstep your own duty. After all, we are not as noble as those rich children, so we must recognize our own value and status."

Later, Gu Xunze thought that maybe he was imprisoned by this sentence for a lifetime.

Later, he and Qiao Lianjian grew into handsome young men.It's just that our Young Master Qiao is still muddy and can't support the wall-skip class when he should, fail class when he should fail, and pick up girls when he should.Anyway, I just don't want to learn.

We, Mr. Qiao, very cleverly believe that running a company does not require classical Chinese, nor functions and geometry.But he needs contacts, that's why he makes many bad friends and picks up girls.

It's a set of things to say, so that Mother Qiao and the others can't refute.

Qiao Lianjian and Gu Xunze went to the same private middle school, where they stayed in the same private middle school, so they started a relationship that was constantly arguing and chaotic.It's just that Gu Xunze, a good student, relies on grades, while our prodigal son, Master Qiao, can only rely on the back door.

But fortunately, Gu Xunze is two years older than Qiao Lianjian, so he doesn't have to see Qiao Lianjian's incessantly smiling face every day, which is much cleaner.

Qiao's mother was heartbroken, and sighed that if the huge wealth of the Qiao family fell on Qiao Lianjian in the future, it might be ruined one day.She grabbed Gu Xunze's hand and "tears down": "When you are at school, help me take care of Lian Jian, and tell me secretly if there is anything, and I will deal with him severely when he comes back."

Qiao Lianjian, who was not far away, heard this whisper, and walked slowly with the swinger's gait that he didn't know where he learned it.He grabbed Gu Xunze's shoulder and wanted to launch a "sneak attack": "Are you secretly planning how to deal with me again? Mom, don't worry about it. Gu Xunze has long been attracted by my beauty." Bought it."

Gu Xunze calmly avoided Young Master Qiao's golden and expensive salty pig's hand, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't always come over shamelessly, it's very unpopular."

Qiao Lianjian disapproved: "What does it matter, we grew up together."

Gu Xunze frowned, listening patiently to Qiao Lianjian's "childhood sweetheart" theory.

As he grew older, Gu Xunze's sensory awareness gradually increased.He gradually realized that Qiao Lianjian's habitual behavior of relying on him to fall asleep now was not normal-even though they were both men.

Perhaps only Gu Xunze realized that before he knew it, a special feeling was gradually fermenting between him and Qiao Lian.

The author has something to say:

In fact, I like this pair more, and the relationship between them also makes me feel distressed.

Hope you guys like it too.
