take your surname

"Suhan, how is your health now?"

Li Suhan rolled up his collar, tried his best to smile and said, "It's pretty good, I just came back from the hospital last week, and I feel much better after living here."

Qin Xu looked around, the air conditioner was very old, and the heating function was not working, Qin Xu felt that there was not much difference between the inside and outside of the house, "Don't you think it's cold?"

Li Suhan shook his head, "I'm used to it, it's not cold."

"Let me help you buy a heater, and I'll get someone to replace the air conditioner for you tomorrow."

Li Suhan quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Brother Seventeen, thank you for your kindness, I really don't need it, my clothes are very thick, and I... use it is a waste."

"Nonsense, no." Qin Xu didn't know how to comfort Li Suhan, he didn't have time to slowly break through the gap between him and Li Suhan due to the long separation, from Li Suhan's face and the almost skinny back of his hand It can be seen that her situation is worse than Qin Xu imagined.

Qin Xu asked cautiously: "Is there anything else I can do to help you? I know there is a private hospital with many experts. I will take you to see it tomorrow, okay?"

Li Suhan still shook her head, "No, thank you."

Qin Xu's heart was heaving violently, he felt an unspeakable bitterness, this sense of powerlessness instantly eroded his scabbed old scars... 12 years ago, when he stepped out of the gate of the orphanage, he looked back, that day Li Suhan cried, wiped his tears and waved to him, while Meng Xinhe stood aside, looking at him quietly.Over the years since then, his days have been ups and downs, but he has never thought of going back to see them, and when they saw each other, they had become so different from each other.

Life in the orphanage was not easy, but the time when the three of them were together was the only sweetness Qin Xu could remember.

Qin Xu said: "Maybe there is still a chance, Suhan, I can take you abroad to see the most authoritative hospital."

Li Suhan walked to the side of the bed, sat down with her waist supported, and looked up at Qin Xu, with a slight arc on her lips, she said in a joking tone: "That will cost a lot of money."

"I'll pay, I have money."

Li Suhan looked straight at him, then pursed her lips and shook her head.

"No, I can't owe you any more. I already owe a lot of people, and I can't pay it back. This will make me very painful. Brother Shiqi, don't let me go away with guilt."

"But if there's still a glimmer of hope that you can get through—"

"No more, I tried my best, but I lost." Li Suhan lowered his head and said softly, "Brother Seventeen, you may not understand that my life is not so pitiful now. It's a lot easier, I'm very relaxed now, especially when you come to see me and end one of my regrets."

She beckoned to Qin Xu, and Qin Xu walked in front of her. Li Suhan looked at Qin Xu seriously from head to toe, and then smiled and said, "Brother Seventeen, you look better now than when you were young, aren't your adoptive parents Does it hurt you? You seem to be living happily."

She didn't ask Qin Xu's current name.

Qin Xu found a stool and sat down, without making too many excuses, he just said, "Well, they treated me very well."

"That's good. I used to worry about you being bullied by rich people, like in the novel, but it seems that I thought too much. By the way, have you gone to college?"

"Ah."

Li Suhan seemed to have something else to say, but she suddenly broke the topic and didn't continue. She asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

"Xinhe, I met him."

Li Suhan was startled, "Then how is he doing now?"

"I thought you were together all the time." Qin Xu was a little surprised, "He works in a restaurant and is very busy."

"Oh." Li Suhan lowered his head after finishing speaking.

"What do you eat every day? The people in the cafeteria bring it to you?"

"Well, the children in the courtyard will take turns to bring me three meals."

"Then I'll bring you some delicious food tomorrow, so don't refuse it."

Li Suhan finally stopped shaking her head, she smiled shyly and said, "Okay."

Qin Xu chatted with her about the past for a while, and saw that she was exhausted and her speech speed began to become slow and weak, so he quickly got up and left to let her have a good rest.

After going out, the cold wind at the end of the year was even colder than usual. Qin Xu closed the door of Li Suhan's room and carefully checked for any air leaks, but he was worried, so he ran to the dean's office and bought it from her at a high price After getting a heater, he ran back to Li Suhan's residence. He put the heater one meter away from the bed, and helped her adjust the temperature and set the time.Li Suhan stood by the bed feeling at a loss, Qin Xu took the initiative to say: "I borrowed from the dean, don't feel pressured."

Li Suhan nodded, took off his coat, lifted the quilt and sat in slowly.

Qin Xu finally went out with peace of mind. When the guard saw him, he came out of the security room and opened the small door for him.

Just as Qin Xu was about to take out his mobile phone to hail a taxi, he saw a person squatting under the pine tree in front of the iron gate of the orphanage.

Qin Xu walked over and shouted, "Xinhe."

Meng Xinhe turned his head and saw that it was Qin Xu. After being surprised for a moment, he quickly recovered. He got up and said, "I didn't expect you to come here tonight."

Qin Xu smiled wryly, "How can I not worry."

"how is she?"

"It's okay, but it's too thin and not energetic."

Meng Xinhe stubbed out a cigarette on the tin trash can next to her, nodded and said, "Well, she's always been like that."

Qin Xu was silent for two seconds, and then asked, "What's the matter with you and her?"

"She was afraid that I would worry, so she refused to see me."

Qin Xu clenched his phone tightly and asked hesitantly: "Xinhe, do you need me to lend you some money? Take her to find a doctor. Maybe there is still hope? I will lend it to you, so you don't have to rush to pay it back." of."

Meng Xinhe was taken aback, and subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, took out most of the cigarette case and stopped, he said: "No need, she no longer has the desire to survive, and I don't want to let those instruments torture her anymore."

Qin Xu wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it.

"How do you go back? Take a taxi?"

Qin Xu nodded, took out his mobile phone and found Didi, then turned to Meng Xinhe and asked, "Where do you live? Let's go together."

Meng Xinhe waved his hand and said, "I'll stand for a while, I live near here, and I'm not in a hurry to go back."

They stood facing the cold wind for a while, and when there were faint car lights on the street, Meng Xinhe suddenly said, "Seventeen, thank you."

"I didn't help much. By the way, Suhan promised me to bring her some food tomorrow. What does she like to eat? And what can't she eat now?"

"I'll send it to you tonight. I can't remember it right now. In fact, she eats very little. Don't bring too much. It's a waste."

"it is good."

Qin Xu felt tired like never before. When he got home, before he had time to say hello to Qin Yi, he went to the bathtub to put hot water in it. He sat in it, and only exhaled slowly when his whole body was submerged in the water. The picture of the year flashed in front of his eyes like a movie, and finally stopped at the scene of Qin Yi hugging him against the light.

The mind finally calmed down.

He wiped his body, changed into pajamas, and walked to Qin Yi's room without looking back. Qin Yi was dealing with work, typing on the keyboard quickly with both hands. Qin Xu walked up to him and touched Qin Yi's hand Arm, Qin Yi ignored him, Qin Xu got in from under Qin Yi's arm, straddled Qin Yi's leg, and hugged Qin Yi's waist face to face, Qin Yi patted Qin Xu's butt helplessly, but Qin Xu seemed to be stuck to his leg, he didn't come down, he just leaned on Qin Yi's shoulder in a daze, there was still damp water vapor on his body, Qin Yi was afraid that he would catch cold, so he had to speed up typing on the keyboard in this awkward posture, After finishing the work quickly, he carried Qin Xu back to his own bed.

"Go to bed early."

Qin Xu reached out to him: "I want you to sleep here."

Qin Yi sternly said, "Did you take my words as a deaf ear?"

Qin Xu pursed his lips, "You have to kiss to sleep."

Qin Yi took a deep breath, went to the window and closed the curtains for Qin Xu. Qin Xu lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and said, "Uncle, I'm really a selfish person. Forget about old friends."

Qin Yi sat on the edge of the bed and tucked him in the quilt, "What? Met an old friend?"

Qin Xu didn't speak, and didn't even bother to nod his head.

Qin Yi touched his forehead with his fingertips, "No, it's not that you are selfish, it's just that you were too young at that time, and you really wanted to have mom and dad."

"really?"

"Really, you are not selfish."

Only then did Qin Xu close his eyes in peace, Qin Yi looked at Qin Xu under the wall lamp for a while, then turned off the light and went out.

……

Early the next morning, Qin Xu asked Chen Chen and Mo Shuci to go to the shopping center to meet up. Qin Xu assigned them tasks, Chen Chen went to buy a mobile phone, and Mo Shuci went to buy clothes for a 17-year-old girl.

Mo Shuci, who took over the task, looked at Qin Xu suspiciously: "Which primary school girl do you have a crush on?"

Qin Xu didn't have time to explain to her, so he just said: "Don't think about it, please do me this favor, what I want is to buy her two sets of clothes, she doesn't look good now, you choose the one that shows off her complexion, Or cosmetics are also fine, anyway, you can buy whatever you think is good.”

"What's the reward?"

"You can do whatever you want."

"OK!"

After Qin Xu and Chen Chen sat in the rest area until their waists were sore, Mo Shuci walked out in a big way.She handed the paper bags in her left hand to Qin Xu, "I bought these for myself, sorry, I'm addicted to shopping."

Qin Xu remembered that there was a rare picture album in his bookcase. It was given to Qin Kai by someone a few years ago. Qin Kai was not interested, so he threw it to Qin Xu. Qin Xu opened it and read it. The pictures in it were very beautiful. , he thought Li Suhan should like it, so he took a taxi back to Yuewan Villa with Chen Chen and Mo Shuci.

Just as Qin Yi was about to go out, several people bumped into each other head-on. Qin Yi looked at the big and small bags in Qin Xu's hands, and asked him while putting on his coat: "What are you going to do?"

Qin Xu took off his shoes and ran upstairs, shouting, "It's nothing."

Mo Shuci greeted Qin Yi. She had met Qin Yi at her father's reception before, and she was not so reserved. She also changed her shoes, sat on the sofa, and said casually: "He is going to spend the New Year with his girlfriend today. Well, well, those are gifts, but I helped him choose the dress, hehe."
