insensitive

In the end, the two figured out why Qiu Sinian came to them so aggressively. It turned out that Fang Yu's mother's old friend came to see them, and brought a Beta son of a similar age. They hoped that they could take care of them during this time.

Cang Erdong searched his rusty memories, and vaguely remembered that Alpha was a designer and also liked photography. He took a bunch of photos of the two of them when they were young, but they never heard that the other party had any children. Cang Erdong Dong always thought that person was a supporter of some trendy childless movement abroad.

So when did some children be able to be "similar to their age"?

Cang Erdong was sitting in the middle right seat of the nanny's car, separated from Fang Qiusheng by a narrow aisle. Alpha was always looking out of the window.

Probably because the parents are both only children, they don't have any relatives who are about the same age, and they have been playing together as two since they were young. This is the first time that a third person has been inserted rashly this time.

What is Shengsheng thinking now?Are you looking forward to it?Still dissatisfied?

Cang Erdong couldn't see it, so he followed Fang Qiusheng's line of sight, and turning another corner was their elementary school. Since Fang Qiusheng patted his chest and promised that he would not get lost on the way home immediately after school, they held hands I have walked this road for six years, and now I see this intersection again, and I feel very familiar.

"It's so deserted." Fang Qiusheng looked at him, "I remember when I was young, there were many small vendors here."

"Well, what?" Qiu Sinian lay dozing off in the back seat, and raised his head when he heard the voice, "Ah, this—this is your elementary school, right? Children grow up so fast, and they will be high school students in a blink of an eye. .”

The man yawned and responded perfunctorily. In fact, he didn't even know which class the two children were in. The occupation forced him to give his children a limited amount of time. Even this kind of memorable time, he wanted to rely on sleepiness Cover up your embarrassment by pretending you're still dozing off.

Cang Erdong's angle was just right enough to see his godfather covered his face with a magazine, he leaned on the back of the chair, his toes fell to Fang Qiusheng's side, and touched his sneakers: "Well, it's so deserted."

I don't know if it's because school hasn't started yet, or after several rectifications, the original small shops have disappeared, and the small vendors squatting on the side of the road have not left any traces.

It was not like this when they were in primary school. At that time, the happiest thing for them was that the teacher came out of school 10 minutes early today, so they could linger on this street.

"Auntie, I want a bag of that candy."

Auntie is the owner of the smallest shop on the street. Taking advantage of her young age, she has a lively relationship with a group of children, and she also understands the preferences of some children. Recently, she bought a large number of colorful candies. It sells for one yuan, but Xiao Cang'er, who is so tricky to attract, is looking forward to going in Dongtian.

But his pocket money is always not enough, because he always loses money, so most of the pocket money is stored with Xiao Fang Qiusheng, and Xiao Fang Qiusheng doesn't know what kind of ecstasy drug was given to him by the adults. Stricter than anyone else, now I bought a bag and started counting again.

Xiao Cang Erdong was so angry that he didn't look at the person who counted the candies, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. It happened that there was no cashier at the moment, and the little aunt looked at them with interest: "Anyway, the portion is not too much, and it's okay to eat two more." Yes."

Before Xiao Cang Erdong could respond, Xiao Fang Qiusheng put the candies back into the school bag, leaving only the two in his hand: "If you can't do it, you can't do it."

Xiao Cang Erdong took the two candies, squeezed one in the palm of his hand, and put the other into his mouth like a baby. It was sweet and fragrant, probably peach-flavored, especially delicious, but the candy was too small to be eaten. He took two steps and it melted. He stood there, wondering whether he should eat one immediately, or wait for the aftertaste to dissipate before continuing.

"Pfft," the little aunt laughed amused by him, "Come here, little aunt has just unpacked, and I'll give you two more."

Xiao Cang Erdong happily wanted to run over, but was grabbed by the schoolbag strap: "No eating."

"You let me go, let me go."

"Cang Erdong, are you disobedient?"

Seeing that the candy-loving one was about to cry, the little aunt quickly got up and tried to persuade the fight: "Oh, okay, okay, don't quarrel, is this brother, so strict."

Little Fang Qiusheng was still pulling on the strap of his schoolbag, and glared at the little aunt viciously: "It's not brother, don't worry about it, Cang Erdong, we're going home."

But Xiao Cang Erdong didn't do what he wanted, and stood there stubbornly, refusing to leave.

The hands holding the bag were shaking, Xiao Fang Qiusheng didn't know why he was so angry, he just felt blood rushing to his forehead, and even the woman standing there with him became grim.

Her hands were on his shoulders, her lipsticked mouth was so close to him, and the smell of her perfume wafted through the shop.

With a flash of Xiao Fang Qiusheng's eyes, the woman opened her scarlet eyes, her raised lips showed sharp teeth, and the owner of the schoolbag strap in his hand was her next prey.

"Don't touch him!"

Xiao Fang Qiusheng shook off the little auntie's hand without much strength, but because of too much movement, the bag of sugar in the little auntie's hand and the one in Xiao Cang Erdong's hand rolled to the ground together, colorful, like a demon Collection of eyeballs of different colors.

He suddenly became at a loss, not to mention this bag of candy, just dropping a little Cang Erdong would definitely cry, he didn't want him to be sad because of such a trivial matter, and when the other party started crying, there was nothing he could do to make him stop No.

But when Xiao Fang Qiusheng raised his head, the expected tears did not fall, Xiao Cang Erdong just looked at him blankly, his mouth was slightly opened, and his eyes were filled with unknown emotions.

"Oh, it's all right." The little aunt didn't care much about the cheap candy, and didn't want to make too much noise to drive away the guests. She took out two pieces of paper and cleaned them up on the ground. .”

Xiao Cang Erdong was still sluggish, standing there as if he hadn't recovered his strength, while Xiao Fang Qiusheng looked at the mess left on the ground, gritted his teeth, and took out another dollar.

"I'm sorry, little aunt, I'll pay you the money."

"Oh, no, there's not much left anyway."

"Then I'll buy another pack." Xiao Fang Qiusheng glanced at the people beside him, "You should pretend to be less."

The little auntie glanced at them, still grabbed a handful full, and handed it to Xiao Fang Qiusheng: "Here, children, go home quickly."

Xiao Fang Qiusheng gave a muffled hum, and dragged Xiao Cang Erdong out of the shop.

I spent a lot of time in the shop today, and I didn't leave school very early. Maybe my godmother will come back earlier today. I don't know if I can catch the bus.

Xiao Fang Qiusheng was thinking about various things in a disorderly manner, and he didn't realize how tightly he held Xiao Cang Erdong, so tight that the other party gasped in pain.

"Shengsheng, it hurts so much."

Xiao Fang Qiusheng let go of his hand like an electric shock: "Oh, I'm sorry."

The station was just a few steps away from them, and the crowd around them meant that the bus hadn't arrived yet, but the two of them didn't move, standing where they were, and the setting sun dragged their shadows very long.

"Shengsheng, aren't you saving money to buy a bird?"

What attracts elementary school students is not only the food, but also all kinds of novelty pets. Fang Qiusheng has been staring at the birds at the school gate for several weeks, saving money bit by bit, and plans to buy one before the bird dealer leaves. Only.

"Anyway, there are opportunities." He stuffed the bag of candy into Xiao Cang Erdong's hand, "Here is the candy, you can eat it."

Xiao Cang Erdong looked at the candy in his hand, squeezed it, and then put it back into the opponent's hand: "I won't eat it, I will eat as much as you say, I am obedient, don't hit people anymore."

"I..." Just about to say that I didn't hit anyone, Xiao Fang Qiusheng stomped her feet, swallowed the words again, holding Xiao Cang Erdong's face, "I see, you are obedient, be good, I won't hit anyone .”

The bus drove away with a puff of hot smoke, and the waiting adults and children rushed up. The two of them didn't move. They didn't hold each other's hands until the bus drove away with a car of people, and headed home. direction to go.

"Let's walk home later."

"Ok?"

"Anyway, there are too many people in the car and it's stuffy."

"it is good."

"Eat the candy, buy everything."

"Ah."

Because the bus had to take a long detour, the time they walked back was not much different than usual, and Cang Jingxing and Chen Nian just got out of the car when they first entered the community.

"Dongdong, Shengsheng!"

Xiao Cang Erdong ran over with his hands raised, but his mother grabbed Xiaohua's hand and looked at it: "What is that little hand, why does mother smell like sugar?"

Xiao Cang Erdong handed in the bag of candy with his lips pouted, and finally cried when his father threw the candy into the trash can.

The voice was very soft, like a dog's tail grass scratching the back of his neck, fluffy and itchy, but Xiao Fang Qiusheng felt a sense of relief. Looking at the tear-stained face, he suddenly wanted to taste the taste of tears .

Now the little aunt's shop has been razed to the ground, and there is no trace of the once prosperous place. Cang Erdong watched the elementary school getting smaller and smaller, and only turned his eyes back to the car when he turned the corner, but Fang Qiusheng didn't know. Since when, I have been watching him.

Alpha's mouth moved, Cang Erdong squinted his eyes, and nodded lazily.

He is saying, you have to be good.

The car drove for a while and arrived at the destination. The place was so deserted that people were panic-stricken. The person who was directing the set saw them coming and came over to say hello.

"Long time no see, big star."

"Long time no see, big designer, it's really not easy to invite you here."

"That's because you don't have enough time." The man looked at Fang Qiusheng, "Wow, Shengsheng and Dongdong have grown so big."

Fang Qiusheng walked over and shook hands with the other party: "Uncle Ethan."

"Not bad, you still remember my name." Ethan turned to look at Cang Erdong again, "Dongdong probably can't remember it, right?"

"Uncle Ethan..."

Cang Erdong really couldn't remember much, but the name was still a little familiar, and the face of the person in front of him was completely unfamiliar, so he unconsciously hid behind Fang Qiusheng.

Ethan didn't care about his impolite behavior at all, but instead scratched his chin and looked at the two of them: "Huh, interesting."

"Hurry up and start work. Fang Yu will rush me again. Where's your son?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, he was bored just now, so he went shopping in the city by himself." Ethan walked towards Qiu Sinian, and looked back at the two children halfway, "I'm sorry to trouble you to bring them here , but - do you mind if I take a group photo of them later?"

"You ask them both."

Ethan cast a questioning look, but Cang Erdong just avoided it, Fang Qiusheng shrugged, and the man had no choice but to give up: "I hope you can think about it, I think you are very suitable."

He pointed to the big cage that was about to be completed in the ruins - the theme of this photo shoot for Qiu Si Nian was to break through the shackles, find a new free sky, and move forward bravely even if the future is unknown - so the big cage was built very well. It is gorgeous, with baroque reliefs on the top, and the distance between the fences is less than one person's width. It is also an extremely complicated style, but the people inside are not confused by the gorgeous illusion, and desperately want to get out.

It was the first time for Cang Erdong to watch his godfather work, and it was a bit strange. After all, his godfather looked completely different from usual when he was working. He lost his silly temperament, and he posed seriously, without hiding his brilliance. .

He looked at the Alpha standing next to him, and couldn't help feeling that it was connected by blood, and the blood flowing in his bones was exactly the same unruly and wanton.

"Do you want to take pictures of Dongdong?"

Cang Erdong bit his lip and didn't answer right away. He didn't particularly want to shoot, nor did he particularly want to shoot. Choosing this kind of thing is always a headache.

"Does Shengsheng want to shoot?"

"I think." Fang Qiusheng bent down to look at him, "I just thought of the little bird that I didn't buy in elementary school."

"Oh, okay."

"So nice."

Ethan came over again and got an affirmative answer, he was a little too excited, and he spoke to his assistant in his mother tongue, his voice was so loud that he seemed to be swearing, Cang Erdong looked at Fang Qiusheng regretfully, but the other party just looked at the huge Cage, without a word.

He was taken to change into a set of clothes. The white sweater was covered with feathers and was a bit thin. The warm baby covered his whole body to make him feel warm, but when he went outside and was blown by the wind, he was so cold that his teeth chattered.

Fang Qiusheng was waiting for him standing on a high place in the ruins. The other party was wearing even less clothes, with a high-necked black sweater covering his chin, and his windbreaker was unbuttoned, flapping in the wind, fluttering wildly.

He cautiously walked into the big cage, only to find that the bottom inside was soft, and would sink in if he stepped on it. He leaned on the carved railing and raised his head, feeling a little lost.

The red sun was about to set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun made the earth golden. He finally saw Fang Qiusheng who was blocking the setting sun. He walked towards him step by step, stood still under the sight of the other party, and looked up at him.

Fang Qiusheng thought of that little bird again.

Compared with its brightly feathered counterparts, it was a bit mediocre, but it had a lot of features, soft feathers, beautifully curved wings, and translucent black eyes.

But it is not as noisy as other birds, it just stays quietly in the corner. When others rely on their melodious singing voice to attract the attention of passers-by, it doesn't even bother to make more calls, even when the bird seller opens the cage. Willing to fight in vain for escape.

It seemed to live in a cage from birth, and the world was enough to feed it, so it no longer asked for anything.

Fang Qiusheng bent down and called softly, "Xiao Xan Er."

"Yes," the boy covered in feathers tilted his head and replied, "Shengsheng."

The camera in Ethan's hand made a continuous shutter sound, and a young and frivolous voice came from behind: "What a beautiful boy."

"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't try to intervene in their relationship," Ethan turned his head and patted his son's head, "Some people can only be seen from a distance."

In the picture of the camera, the boy stood defenseless, shivering a little because of the cold, but it did not affect the elegant curve of his neck. The wind was so strong that the white feathers were blown down and scattered in random directions, blocking the light of the setting sun and covering his eyes. She closed her eyes full of submission.
