Son, come here! "

A minute later, a child came in from the outside, kicking a half-defunct soda can back and forth, but when he looked up and saw two strangers in the room, he stopped in shock and made a "clang" sound from his feet There was a loud noise, and the can was completely crushed.

Lao Yu pulled him over, pressed him to Cheng Yan and Li Dongxing, and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

The child blushed, his dark eyeballs were nailed to the ground, and it took a long time before he yelled "Uncle" like a mosquito.

Lao Yu quit, and pushed his son's head: "Both of them should shout."

Li Dongxing laughed quickly: "Brother Yu, don't make things difficult for Zhuzi, come, let him eat an orange."

The child took the orange from his hand, and then dodged far away.

Old Yu hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and said, "This kid is just afraid of life."

Cheng Yan glanced at the child in the corner, and saw that he quickly peeled the orange, only to throw it away after peeling halfway. One hand grabbed the towel covering the TV, and the other hand repeatedly twisted the orange. The freshly peeled orange peels made the juice all over the hands, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Cheng Yan felt a little pimple in his heart.

Lao Yu was still babbling, saying that there were not many visitors at home, but unfortunately his wife had gone out to set up a stall and had no chance to meet friends, so he asked Cheng Yan if they wanted to stay for dinner.

Cheng Yan didn't respond much.He suddenly took a strawberry, walked a few steps, and knelt down in front of the boy named Zhuzhu.

"Zhuzi, do you want to eat?" He asked pleasantly, shaking the strawberry in his right hand.

The boy nodded, swallowing loudly.

Cheng Yan closed his right hand, held the strawberry, put it behind his back, and asked, "Which hand is uncle's strawberry in? Is it the left hand?"

The boy nodded blankly and said, "Left hand."

Cheng Yan frowned slightly, still put the strawberry in the boy's hand, turned around and stood up, and said to Old Yu, "Brother Yu, your son..."

Li Dongxing seemed to know what he was going to say, and hurriedly called out: "Senior brother."

"Brother?" Lao Yu was confused, "What is that? Dongzi, why don't you call me Brother?"

Cheng Yan glanced at Li Dongxing, and said calmly, "He has read too many martial arts novels."

Li Dongxing had no choice but to call out: "...Yes, brother."

"You two brothers have such a good relationship." Old Yu smiled naively, then turned to ask Cheng Yan, "What did Brother Li want to say just now?"

He took the initiative to give Cheng Yan the surname of Li Dongxing.

Cheng Yan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Your son is quite obedient."

Old Yu laughed more happily, called the boy over again, pulled him and said, "Listen, Zhuzi, Uncle Li is praising you. Uncle Li is a teacher, teaching, teaching what... Chinese or arithmetic... ..."

Cheng Yan decisively chooses one: "Arithmetic."

Old Yu: "Yes, your uncle is very smart. You will learn from the two uncles in the future, and strive to go to college in the future."

Cheng Yan patted the boy's oily head, took a pen from his pocket, wrote a series of numbers on the calendar on the wall, turned to Old Yu and said, "Brother Yu, if you are free, you can bring the pillar with you." Come find me at school. I... I'll teach him arithmetic."

Lao Yu was completely moved. After staying with the two for lunch to no avail, he insisted on stuffing them with a dozen eggs each, saying that they were brought from his hometown, which was more filling.

Li Dongxing had an injury on his hand, and both bags of eggs were in Cheng Yan's hands.

They came out of the underground compartment and were walking in the community when Cheng Yan suddenly said to Li Dongxing, "That kid might have ADHD."

Li Dongxing sighed: "Well, I know. Last time, Brother Yu brought the pillars to the construction site, and I saw him playing by himself. His appearance...is quite typical."

Cheng Yan glanced at him and asked, "You don't want me to remind Brother Yu, because you don't want him to worry?"

Li Dongxing said flatly: "If you know, there is no law."

Cheng Yan understood what he meant.It may not be that there is no rule of law at all. The existing counseling and drug methods can at least control the development of attention deficit disorder, and the curative effect on children of this age is quite significant.But he also saw what happened to Old Yu's family.

Without money, it means that there is no way.

A thought came to his mind, he turned around and asked, "How old were you when you found out?"

Li Dongxing lowered his eyelids: "Eight years old."

Cheng Yan frowned and said, "Then you..."

Li Dongxing was extremely calm: "I didn't know what was going on before. My uncle and aunt were the first to realize that something was wrong with me. They thought I was possessed by a ghost and took me to visit many great immortals. I soaked in ice water before. After drinking the incense ash water, the talisman is still pasted at home, and my aunt said...that it can exorcise evil spirits."

He said it lightly enough, but it sounded like a history of abuse.

From Zheng Heping's few words, Cheng Yan also had a little understanding of Li Dongxing's aunt's virtues, and knew that the evil spirit she was talking about driving away must be referring to Sang Huai, and she was talking about Li Dongxing.

They all wanted to dismiss his nephew as an evil thing. Even if he knew that he was sick, how could he be willing to spend money and energy on treatment?

No wonder he knows so well what it means to be sick but powerless.

Cheng Yan remembered what he had talked about a while ago, and he understood: "So you studied psychiatry."

Li Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "Well, I want to know more, maybe I can control it better."

Cheng Yan said: "This enlightenment is good, come and come, let's understand and control together in the future."

In fact, it can't be called pretending. He felt that his eyes were really shining when he said this sentence.

Live cases, even if he is not in this professional direction, his curiosity has long been ready to move, and the urge to open the minds of people around him has already flowed through the eight meridians.

Fortunately, it's not this major, and he doesn't have to be constrained by the professional ethics of a psychiatrist in showing his covetousness openly.

Even if he was stared at like a monkey, Li Dongxing didn't take it seriously, instead he smiled and said, "Senior brother, thank you, I feel much more relaxed now."

Cheng Yan: "Don't rush to relax, well, I just left your phone number with Lao Yu."

Li Dongxing: "Huh?"

Cheng Yan took it for granted: "I can only do experiments, how can I cure ADHD? Anyway, maybe Old Yu really only intends to let his son learn arithmetic, addition and subtraction within [-], you won't forget it."

Li Dongxing held back for a while, and said, "...Brother is right."

Old Yu gave Cheng Yan the favor, Cheng Yan has already repaid it today, and his friend has to do the rest.

Seeing that his junior brother is so smart, Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

He recruited Li Dongxing a job, and there was one more reason to trip Li Dongxing to the mental health center in the future.

There was nothing left and right, and the two walked back slowly. Cheng Yan chatted with Li Dongxing about the experiment he was doing. I mentioned Li Dongxing's illness again.

While walking along the street, Li Dongxing suddenly stopped moving.

Cheng Yan gave him a strange look, and found that he was looking at a shop on the street in a daze.

It was a toy store.Not only that, what Li Dongxing was staring at was a fluffy doll.

The pink HelloKitty, with a bow on her head, is posing in a ballet dance, standing in the window.

Cheng Yan's eyelids twitched: "You can't..."

Li Dongxing stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the corner of Cheng Yan's shirt, and pulled it slightly a few times.

Then he blinked his big eyes, as if he mustered up his courage, and whispered four words that made Cheng Yan extremely horrified: "Lili wants it."

☆、Four personalities (thirteen)

Lili?Lili?Cheng Yan was dazed as usual, not sure which two words he heard, the only thing he was sure of was that the name definitely did not belong to Li Dongxing.

And it sounds a bit like a girl.

He guessed something, quickly looked around, and asked Li Dongxing in a low voice, like an agent giving a signal on the street: "Who are you now?"

This question sounds silly at first glance, but it is quite necessary at present.

Li Dongxing seemed to wake up all of a sudden, looked a little embarrassed, let go of the hand that subconsciously grabbed Cheng Yan's shirt, and said, "Senior brother, it's still me."

Cheng Yan's heart was relieved.

If this kid switches his personality on the street and becomes violent again, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold back.

After a while, he cleared his throat and asked, "So, you want this doll yourself?"

Li Dongxing's ears turned red again.

"Brother, Lili is a 13-year-old girl, and she said she likes this doll." After speaking, he was afraid that Cheng Yan would not understand, so he added in a low voice, "She is one of my personalities."

Cheng Yan's curiosity was aroused: "Can you talk to other personalities?"

Li Dongxing thought for a while and said, "Some can, some can't."

Split personality can range from mild to severe. Individuals with milder symptoms can communicate with each other smoothly, and the main personality can fight for the initiative in time when necessary, which is equivalent to a group of people crowded in a small room. But it is still orderly; and in more serious cases, the split personality will overwhelm the main character, and when it comes out, the main personality will be completely pushed aside, causing a serious memory gap, which is really similar to the seizing of the house in Xiuxian novels .

From all the previous signs, Cheng Yan almost thought that Li Dongxing was in the latter case, but now it seems that his illness is still a little milder than he imagined.

But it didn't get any better.

He could see that at that moment, when Li Dongxing first saw the doll, his eye movements were already very wrong.This shows that the master's control over other personalities, even this relatively harmless-sounding girl's personality, is worrying.

Cheng Yan's heart beat, but he still asked relaxedly, "How many of them are there?"

Li Dongxing frowned and said, "Currently there are four. One is Zheng Heping. He said he scared you the other night. I'm sorry."

Cheng Yan waved his hand indifferently: "That's nothing. Do you often talk?"

Li Dongxing: "Well, he is usually the one who takes the initiative to chat with me. Even if he comes out, I can generally know what happened. Most of the time, he is willing to listen to my opinions. That time...that time was an exception. Sorry brother, I was too tired and sleepy that night, so I let him out. He told me that he had already seen you once, and nothing would go wrong. I didn't expect..."

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows: "Meet me once? Oh yes, I heard you humming in the kitchen once. Is that Zheng Heping?"

Thinking back, Li Dongxing also called him "Teacher Cheng" as soon as he opened his mouth that time. He had already become suspicious at that time, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Li Dongxing nodded embarrassingly: "Zheng Heping is the oldest among us, over 40 years old. He cooks well and takes good care of others. The others like him very much. He is just a little pessimistic and not emotional. Great stability, maybe some depressive symptoms, I tried to communicate with him a few times, so far it seems to be stable."

Even if Cheng Yan had already prepared himself mentally, it was still a little strange to hear Li Dongxing talk about his personality in such an onlooker tone.

He couldn't hold back, and said, "Are you still consulting yourself?"

Li Dongxing replied solemnly: "Practice what you have learned."

Cheng Yan took a look at him, always felt that after his junior brother exposed the fact that he was sick, his mouth became a little bit sharper, and he no longer looked like a little daughter-in-law walking on thin ice, which was a good sign.

From Li Dongxing's mouth, he gradually figured out the situation of the other two personalities.

In addition to Zheng Heping and Lili, there is another personality, an eight-year-old boy named Xiaowei, who is timid and afraid of the dark. He was probably the one who cried while hugging Cheng Yan that night.As for the last one, Cheng Yan knew without asking, it was the most dangerous guy with violent tendencies, who almost lost control in Xiaohonglou last time, and was also the main culprit that made Li Dongxing homeless.

Four in all, not too bad.

Cheng Yan thought about it optimistically, maybe next time he could try to call out Zheng Heping and Lili, and the two of them would join a mahjong table, which would save time and energy.

After Li Dongxing explained, he wanted to go back, but was stopped by Cheng Yan.

"Didn't you say you like it? It's not a particularly expensive thing, so buy it if you like it." He swaggered into the store, took down the Hello Kitty doll, and threw it into Li Dongxing's left hand, "Meeting ceremony."

Even though Li Dongxing was handsome, he was still a good young man about 1.8 meters high. Holding the doll under the watchful eyes of several shop assistants, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Afraid of his refusal, Cheng Yan said firmly, "I bought this for Lili, not for you, so keep it for her."

Probably automatically took this girl named Lili as Li Dongxing's younger sister or niece, and the clerks all showed their original expressions, and stopped watching Li Dongxing, and only one of them came over to say hello to Cheng Yan: "Sir, there are other little girls here who like it." Toys, genuine Barbie dolls, equipped with dozens of outfits that can be changed..."

Before Cheng Yan said anything, Li Dongxing said firmly, "No."

When he spoke, he lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was teaching a child who was invisible to others.

Cheng Yan was afraid that the clerk would become suspicious again, so he hurriedly patched it up, and said to Li Dongxing, "Why are you so strict with children? I like my money, and I am happy."

I don't know what Lili said, Li Dongxing's expression was tangled for a moment, the corners of his originally tense mouth trembled slightly, as if he couldn't help laughing, he hurriedly glanced at Cheng Yan, and then suppressed his smile again.

"It's okay, there's no need for senior brother, Lili is not the kind of girl who is particularly greedy." He clenched the doll in his hand and smiled at Cheng Yan, "This is enough."

Although Li Dongxing said no, Cheng Yan bought an additional model airplane, the one with a remote control, it is said that it can fly as high as a five-story building, it is waterproof and drop-resistant, and it can also accurately control the flight path.

"For Xiaowei." Cheng Yan paid without saying a word, "We must pay attention to equality between men and women."

When going out, Cheng Yan merged the two bags of eggs into one, held it in one hand, and clamped the plane he just bought under the other arm, and stuffed the doll into the egg bag by the way.

After walking a few steps, he remembered and asked, "What did Lili say just now?"

Li Dongxing finally couldn't hold it back, his eyes were bent from laughing, and he said slowly, "Brother, do you really want to know?"

Cheng Yan glared at him impatiently: "Be honest."

Li Dongxing tried his best to hold back his smile, looked straight ahead and said quickly, "Lili said, no matter how rich Uncle is, she will not move on, because she already has someone she likes."

Cheng Yan: "..."

He pulled out the doll mercilessly and threw it into Li Dongxing's arms.

So Li Dongxing could only hold the Hello Kitty that was ostentatious wherever he went, followed Cheng Yan through the Jiangcheng University campus, and was baptized by the eyes of countless passers-by before he was allowed to go home.

The next day, the two went to the office together.

Li Dongxing took the initiative to ask for Mu Mu, and told Cheng Yan all about his illness.

"Dissociative identity disorder?" Mu Mu was taken aback, and even dropped the Pizza in his mouth to the table.

Li Dongxing was a little uneasy: "I haven't been diagnosed yet, but the symptoms are very clear. The teacher helped me hide it before. I feel very sorry for the senior sister..."

"There's no need to say anything." Mu Mu interrupted, his tone was deep, and he looked at Li Dongxing with burning eyes.

Li Dongxing was stared at at a loss, so he secretly glanced at Cheng Yan.

Mu Mu rushed over suddenly, patted him on the back vigorously, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's so pitiful, how many children with multiple personalities have suffered a lot of grievances when they were young... In the future, the senior sister will definitely love you. You, don't let others bully you, such as that bad guy Cheng Yan...you must tell me anything..."

Cheng Yan stood there like a target, not knowing whether to rub the innocent knee that was shot first, or his heart that was riddled with holes.

Unexpectedly, Li Dongxing said suddenly: "Senior sister, don't talk about senior brother like that anymore. He is really good to me. He has been running around for me these days. If it weren't for senior brother, I might not be here."

He spoke so solemnly, as if Cheng Yan had just gone up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire and saved his life.

Mu Mu was taken aback for a while, glanced at Cheng Yan, and said, "Really? So serious?"

Cheng Yan almost choked up, and hurriedly took a sip of tea to cover it up: "It's a small matter, it's just a small matter."

To be able to make it so frightening to be able to run away from home and be persuaded to come back, Li Dongxing is also somewhat capable, and he is also very conscientious.

This conscience was very useful to Cheng Yan, and he felt that he didn't worry about this time in vain.

Mu Mu comforted Li Dongxing for a while, the topic suddenly changed, he asked about Lili, he said with great interest that he wanted to get to know him, and wondered if Li Dongxing would like to introduce him.

Cheng Yan was quite shocked by this: "You want him to take the initiative to switch personalities?"

Mu Mu was not convinced: "The secondary personality is also an independent person, I want to know what's wrong?"

Cheng Yan frowned tightly, and said sharply, "No. He's fine now, don't provoke me..."

Li Dongxing hurriedly smoothed things over: "Brother, it's okay. Senior sister is doing it for my own good. If I can accept other personalities more relaxedly and let them have a chance to come out, it will be good for me and them." After he finished speaking, he turned to Mu Mu shyly. With a smile, "And Lili also wants to meet the beautiful big sister."

Cheng Yan felt that his internal injuries were getting worse.

Why call him an uncle, and call Mu Mu a sister?

His uncle could only sit on the sofa with a dejected face, while Mu Mu held Li Dongxing's hand and whispered in the corner, talking about the so-called "whispering between girls".

After Li Dongxing really called Lili out, he was sure that it was indeed Li Dongxing who was pulling the corner of his shirt to talk on the street two days ago.

Watching a young man with a normal behavior suddenly make the movements that a shy girl would do, sitting in a slumped posture, covering his mouth and smiling, his big eyes fluttering, and he blushes at every turn, it is really magical and realistic.

An idea popped up in Cheng Yan's mind uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Li Dongxing is pretty handsome, and his actions are at most like a sissy boy; if he is a big man with a thick back and a waist and cheeks, wouldn't the scene in front of him turn into a thriller in a second?

He was thinking about it, and the bearded "Li Dongxing" in his mind suddenly squatted down, put his furry head on his knees, pulled his cuffs with both hands, and called out "senior brother" shyly——

Cheng Yan couldn't help shivering.

☆、Four personalities (fourteen)

Since Li Dongxing took the initiative to explain his illness to Mu Mu and the others, there was no need for him to hide it. He seemed relieved, and occasionally chatted with Cheng Yan and Mu Mu, and he seemed much happier.

Mu Mu noticed this change, and was very pleased about it. While encouraging Li Dongxing, he also scolded Cheng Yan, telling him to learn more from his younger brother and take off his hypocritical cloak to accept the truth. Me, embrace a better tomorrow.

Li Dongxing was also there when she said this, and turned to Cheng Yan curiously, "What do you mean by taking off the cloak of hypocrisy?"

Before Cheng Yan could answer, Mu Mu translated it first: "I'm telling him to stop pretending."

Cheng Yan felt innocent: "I didn't pretend."

Mu Mu suddenly asked: "Are you happy today?"

Cheng Yan flipped through the book and answered casually, "Happy."

Mu Mu asked again: "How was the experiment in the morning?"

Cheng Yan replied without thinking, "It went well."

Li Dongxing came over to speak at the right time: "Well, the experiment we had scheduled in the morning was let go by the teacher in the scanning room."

Cheng Yan: "..."

His hands were itchy, and he wanted to beat up the research assistant teammate who made trouble.

Mu Mu was not surprised, and said to Li Dongxing, "Look, this is called pretending."

Cheng Yan retorted unconvinced: "I call it not complaining to irrelevant people."

"How pitiful, it's become a habit to pretend." Mu Mu stretched out his hand, trying to touch Cheng Yan's head, "You don't feel too tired to panic."

Cheng Yan immediately turned around with the book in his hand, avoiding the claws, and refused the care of irrelevant people with his actions.

After Mu Mu flirted with Cheng Yan, he walked out of the small office contentedly, leaving Li Dongxing standing where he was, watching Cheng Yan hesitate to speak.

After scanning a page, Cheng Yan couldn't bear to be stared at. He closed the book and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Dongxing looked at him very seriously, and said, "I am not an unrelated person."

Cheng Yan didn't react: "Huh?"

Li Dongxing's gaze was extremely sincere: "If senior brother is unhappy, you can complain to me in the future."

Judging from the expression of the person in front of him, Cheng Yan was almost skeptical. If he said that he was unhappy and wanted to hit someone, Li Dongxing would obediently move his face to him and punch him a few times.

Feeling powerless in his heart, he glared at Li Dongxing: "Where did you see that I am unhappy? Don't listen to Mu Mu's nonsense, I am very happy. Go, make an appointment for the experiment time in the afternoon."

After receiving the order, Li Dongxing immediately walked out of the office obediently.

After finally getting the person away, Cheng Yan sat in the chair and rubbed his temples.

After a few days, he always suspected that Li Dongxing was overkill. In the past, this kid always hid in the corner like a mushroom, and he could not talk when he could not speak, but now he is as clingy as a ghost. From home to school, he is almost inseparable from Cheng Yan. .

Of course, Li Dongxing couldn't be blamed for this, after all, it was Cheng Yan who arbitrarily threw out a research assistantship contract in order to keep him.I don't know if Li Dongxing wanted to make Cheng Yan's salary worthwhile. Anyway, after taking Cheng Yan's money, he acted very hard. Not only was he serious and responsible in his work, he wished he could work faster than Cheng Yan. There are many, even in life, there seems to be a tendency to take care of everything, as if Cheng Yan not only recruited a research assistant, but also hired a nanny.

Just like two evenings ago, when Cheng Yan came home, he smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine. When he walked closer to the kitchen, he found that Li Dongxing was in front of the stove, making something.

He put on his green-striped apron and kitchen gloves again, and stared into the pot, chopping and chopping on the cutting board, having a great time.

Cheng Yan called suspiciously: "Zheng Heping?"

Li Dongxing turned his head quickly: "Senior brother, it's me."

Cheng Yan had a snack until he sat at the table and drank the soup made by Li Dongxing, and he almost spit it out in a very shameless gulp.

After pouring half a cup of green tea into his mouth, Cheng Yan had the strength to ask, "What is this?"

"Medicine, I asked the proprietress for the prescription. I heard it can cure headaches." Li Dongxing glanced at him uneasily, "It's hard to drink?"

Cheng Yan didn't say yes or no, he held the sea bowl firmly, and stuffed all the materials that couldn't be seen in it into his stomach. In the end, his expression didn't change, but his face turned a little green.

He knew that Li Dongxing left two hours early in the afternoon, and it was very difficult to buy medicinal materials and make soup. When the food came to his mouth, with his usual behavior, he really couldn't say "no".

Facts have shown that there is a price for pretending to be garlic. The taste in his mouth was terrible. Cheng Yan couldn't eat any other food that night, and he couldn't hold it back before going to bed, so he had to gargle for 10 minutes before giving up.

When he staggered out of the bathroom, Cheng Yan saw Li Dongxing's guilty face again. Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he patted Li Dongxing's shoulder, thought for a long time, and said, "If not in the future, when Zheng Heping wants to come out Just don't hold back. I don't mind."

Anyway, that guy's cooking skills are top-notch, and the food he makes won't look like a biochemical weapon.

Among all the personalities of Li Dongxing, Cheng Yan has the greatest opinion on Zheng Heping. In the past, whenever Li Dongxing showed suspicion of turning into Zheng Heping, he would look fierce as if he was facing a big enemy, wishing to beat this personality back into Li Dongxing's mind. inside.In other words, although he indirectly expressed his dislike for Li Dongxing's cooking skills, he still accepted Zheng Heping's personality.

So Li Dongxing is very grateful for this.

In this way, with Cheng Yan's acquiescence, Zheng Heping would come out every now and then to cook dinner for the two of them.Although Cheng Yansu still intentionally guards against him in order to prevent him from doing something self-harming again, he will occasionally take the initiative to help the underlings wash the dishes and chat with Zheng Heping.

Later, Cheng Yan found out that what Li Dongxing said was correct. Although Zheng Heping was a bit of a mother-in-law and a bit depressed, he was generally a good uncle who was good at taking care of others.

There were a few times when Cheng Yan did some experiments at noon or in the evening, he would still receive a text message from Li Dongxing, urging him to eat on time.Sometimes Cheng Yan wondered, did Zheng Heping's personality affect Li Dongxing, or did Li Dongxing have such an old lady in his personality after he let go?

In the past, Cheng Yan felt that Li Dongxing had crossed the line.Xu Mowen can't be considered affectionate when he treats people, but if Mu Mu dared to stare at him all day long, he would have said [-] harsh words to block people back, and they were so angry that they didn't want to deal with him anymore.

But when it comes to Li Dongxing, Cheng Yan endures it.

There could be two reasons for this, he thought.First, Li Dongxing blocked the scissors for him.He seemed to owe Li Dongxing something, so from the bottom of his heart he developed a kind of tolerance that was different from others, and he was able to bear Li Dongxing as a troublesome person who was not so obtrusive, swaying in front of him all day long.Second, Cheng Yan was a little reluctant to admit that he had never been so needed by a single person in his entire life.

Li Dongxing really needed him, or at least some of Li Dongxing's personalities really needed him.

Especially the little boy who pops up from time to time.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, there were still frequent thunder and rain in Jiangcheng, Cheng Yan gradually discovered that on days when the thunder was louder, the probability of Xiao Wei running out was particularly high.

This Sunday afternoon, neither he nor Li Dongxing stayed in the laboratory. He was reading a book in the living room. Suddenly, he felt hairy on his knees. When he lowered his head, he found another person sitting on the floor, with his head down and desperately rubbing against his lap. .

Cheng Yan looked up, and there was an open book on the dining table by the kitchen, turning the pages with the wind blowing in from the window.The person reading the book ran over in a hurry, the sofa had to sit on the carpet, and there was a tendency to use his legs as a pillow.

He patted the guy on the head, and spoke as gently as possible: "Xiao Wei, can you sit on the sofa?"

Xiaowei shook his head, buried his head lower, and replied softly: "Thunder, Xiaowei is afraid."

The black clouds outside were gradually sinking, and there were faint thunderclaps, which were indeed louder than the last.

Cheng Yan had no choice but to put down the book, covered Xiao Wei's ears with both hands, one left and one right, and said, "Don't be afraid, you won't be able to hear it this way."

Xiao Wei looked up at him, the big eyes that belonged to Li Dongxing were opened extra wide, revealing a childlike air that did not seem to be fake.He suddenly laughed, loosened the five fingers that were holding Cheng Yan's trouser leg, raised them to cover Cheng Yan's hand covering his ears, rubbed his palm against the back of his hand lightly.

Like a kitten trying to express its closeness.

Cheng Yan seemed to be scratched in his heart, exerted some strength, and signaled Xiaowei to get up from the ground and sit on the sofa.

After all, it was almost autumn, and he was always curled up on the ground, and he was also afraid that Li Dongxing would get sick.

The thunder can no longer be heard in the ear, so Xiao Wei is not so afraid, and squats obediently on the sofa, with his head tilted, he burrows into Cheng Yan's arms.

Cheng Yan was a little tangled in his heart, and sat still, letting Xiaowei put his head on his lap.In this way, his left hand was freed, even though his right hand was still held down, so he could only obediently cover Xiaowei's right ear.

Even on the sofa, Xiao Wei still curled up into a ball habitually, but she didn't tremble so much and became a quiet ball.

After a while, he closed his eyes, as if he was a little sleepy, and the hand holding Cheng Yan gradually loosened.

Cheng Yan still didn't dare to let go, and with the other hand, he picked up the book he hadn't finished reading just now, and continued to read while maintaining his original posture.

He could see that Xiao Wei had shown a particularly deep dependence on him, so deep that it was unreasonable.Anyway, he and Li Dongxing have only known each other for over a month.Could it be that before him, no adult could show even the slightest bit of care for this child?

He knew that it was painful for Li Dongxing to hit a small vacant person, but he just didn't expect such a vacant one.

Cheng Yan knew nothing about taking care of children, but he was helpless with little Weixiong.

But this little boy is just like the miniature version of Li Dongxing, except for the first night when he thought he would be abandoned and thus shed a few tears, when he usually came out he was too quiet.

Not noisy, not even playful, even when Cheng Yan took out the remote control plane, he only looked at it a few times, touched it lightly a few times, and then put it back in Cheng Yan's hand.

Cheng Yan wanted him to play, so he patiently taught him how to operate the remote control. The boy learned quickly, but he still made the plane fly perfectly twice while Cheng Yan was taking it with him, and then automatically and consciously took the plane to the ground again. Both the phone and the remote control were returned to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan originally thought he was not interested, but he was obviously very excited when he saw Xiaowei's movements and eyes when he touched the remote control. There was a small cluster of flames dancing in those darker eyes than ordinary people, just like Li Dongxing's usual reading or doing experiments. Same time.

He tentatively asked Xiaowei why he stopped playing.

Xiaowei stared at the toy plane in his hand, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, but he shook his head resolutely, and whispered: "I'm afraid it will break."

Cheng Yan had nothing to say, he thought, even if he said "buy it when it breaks", Xiao Wei would not listen.

Sometimes when you cherish something too much, you dare not even touch it.

So he had no choice but to let the airplane model sit on the shelf, and occasionally saw Li Dongxing secretly take it out to wipe the dust, without asking whether the person who wanted to do this was Xiaowei or Li Dongxing himself.

But no matter how much he looks like a real eight-year-old, Xiao Wei is still in Li Dongxing's body.After the two of them sat on the sofa for half an hour, Cheng Yan's legs inevitably went numb.

The thunder outside was no longer so intense, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Cheng Yan suddenly remembered that the windows in his room had not been closed. If the rain continued with this momentum, in another half an hour, there would be water in his room. sunken.

He had to gently push the person on his lap.
