Long, long ago, before Xiang Yan's parents divorced, and before she and her brother separated, Xiang Yang picked her up after school every day.

At that time, Xiang Yang was four grades higher than her, and his class was on the third floor. As soon as the teacher finished class, he would run to the first floor without asking. No one needed to ask, they knew that he was going to pick up his sister home.

Every day is the same, rain or shine.

That time was the happiest time for Xiao Xiangyan.

As soon as the school bell rang, she lowered her head and finished packing her schoolbag, and when she looked up again, she could always see her brother outside the glass window.

Waving at her, with a smile, pampering the boy whose face was written all over.

"My brother is here!" Xiao Xiangyan was overjoyed, her face was full of happiness, and she introduced them one by one, "This is my brother!"

It is the brother who loves her the most.

Xiang Yan withdrew her gaze, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and finally stood up.

"Do you know him?" Seeing Xiang Yan standing up suddenly, Xu Yunyun asked her curiously, "Who is that person outside?"

"My brother..." Xiang Yan said.

The voice is very small, with sporadic tiredness and helplessness.

Xu Yunyun had been with her for so long, and this was the first time she heard that Xiang Yan had an older brother.

Although this girl usually pretends to be crazy and stupid all day long, she is actually very clever when encountering things, and she can tell that Xiang Yan's state seems to be not right.

What's more, Xiang Yan told her a few days ago that she had a quarrel with her family.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" She reached out her hand to stop Xiang Yan, and opened her mouth casually as usual, "I'm tired from sitting, and I just want to do some activities, shall I be with you?"

"No need." Xiang Yan shook her head, reached out and patted Xu Yunyun's extended hand, "It's nothing, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, the person has already walked to the glass door.

Xu Yunyun glanced at her worriedly.

It was a bit cold in the corridor, and the wind passing through the hall swept up along the ground, gradually climbing up the body, making people want to shiver unconsciously.

But no matter how cool it is, it can't compare to Xiangyang's smile.

After so many years, when she saw that familiar smile again, Xiang Yan suddenly felt that everything was strange.

The figure of the boy in the memory began to fade uncontrollably.

"Long time no see." Xiang Yan looked at the man in front of her, took a deep breath and said softly, "Brother."

"Long time no see." Xiang Yang smiled, with an intimate voice, "Yanyan has grown into a beautiful girl."

He said, with nostalgia in his tone: "It really made me a little bit unrecognizable for a while."

"Obviously it was only that little before, and it didn't reach my waist until I stood up straight. Every day, I would act like a baby and let me hug me. I didn't expect..."

"Brother." Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yan interrupted him, "You didn't come here to catch up with me, did you?"

"Just talk about it." She said, her voice was cold, polite and distant.

The smile on Xiang Yang's lips froze when he heard this, and gradually began to shrink after a long while.

"It's really grown up." He shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, put away the hypocritical greetings, "I didn't believe it when Mom told me at first."

"In this case, let's talk in an adult way." He said, raised his feet and took a few steps forward, gradually getting closer to Xiang Yan.

The man smelled of tobacco, cold and strong, and smelled very uncomfortable.

Xiang Yan lowered her eyes and coughed a few times, her body instinctively wanted to back up, but in the end, because she remembered something, she still stood there without moving.

She even raised her face and just stared at him straight.

"My mother asked me to come." Xiang Yang said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it with a lighter, "Let me help persuade you. I hope you can listen to her and think about getting married again."

"Actually, I also understand that young people today don't want to be controlled by their parents all the time, and they always want to be in charge of their own destiny." He said, "However, in the end, there are only a few who are really happy, and in the end, they still get a little ashamed." Hide home with your tail between your legs."

"We are all experienced people, and we always see it more thoroughly than you." Xiang Yang smiled, "It's all for your own good."

Three very familiar words, for your own good.

As Xiang Yan listened, she suddenly felt a little nauseous.

"You don't understand anything." The little girl was silent for a while, then suddenly shook her head lightly, her eyes turned red unconsciously.

She said, "What qualifications do you have to persuade me?"

She rarely said such harsh words.

It was the same in the past, Xiang Yang remembered that even if those children provoked them harshly, Xiao Xiangyan would only frown and curse softly.

It's never been like this.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiang Yang extinguished the cigarette in his hand, frowned and looked at her, "Why are you talking, I'm your brother!"

"Really." Xiang Yan raised her hand to rub her eyes, her voice was very low, her body was trembling, "I'd forget it if you didn't tell me."

"I haven't seen you since my parents divorced." She said, turned around and wanted to go back, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and there is no need to show up now."

His tone was full of disappointment and sadness.

Xiang Yang was suddenly a little dazed, silent for a while, and frowned tightly.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Xiang Yan's arm a little out of control, and pushed her hard against the wall next to him: "What are you talking about!"

There was a muffled bang, the sound of the body colliding with the wall.

It was so big that it shocked everyone in the office.

Xu Yunyun realized something was wrong, she jumped up from her chair and ran out, and before Xiang Yang had time to make the next move, she pulled Xiang Yan over to protect her behind her.

"What are you doing!" she said, "You still hit people!"

"Who are you?" Xiang Yang looked at her with displeasure written all over his face, "Are you in control?!"

"Don't care who I am!" Xu Yunyun also yelled at him, "This is our office. If you make trouble again, I will call the police. We have cameras on the wall, and there are so many eyes watching behind us."

"You are a big man, what kind of ability is bullying little girls here!"

He tried his best to protect her.

With a sore nose, Xiang Yan grabbed Xu Yunyun's hand and clenched it tightly.

The elevator was still on their floor at the moment, and Xiang Yan didn't know where she got the strength, but she reached out and grabbed her brother's clothes, opened the elevator door and pushed him in.

"You go." She said, staring fixedly at Xiang Yang's face, "Don't come here again."

"Don't erase all the last thoughts I have about you."

Xiang Yang had just left, and before Xu Yunyun could say anything, Xiang Yan was called into the office.

Their director was a middle-aged woman who had her hair permed, and she sat down meticulously, sipping tea and looking at the documents.

Hearing Xiang Yan came in, he finally put down his things and raised his head to look at her.

"What happened just now?" she asked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Xiang Yan shook her head and said softly, "Thank you for your concern."

"En." The director responded, lowered his head and flipped through the documents a few times, before opening his mouth again after a while, "I won't ask the specific reason, I know it's your private matter, and it's not convenient for me to ask."

"But since it's a private matter, it's best not to bring it into the office," she said.

It sounds impersonal, but it's true.

"I see." Xiang Yan responded, apologizing in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Director."

There was no argument or explanation, just a pure admission of mistakes.

The director paused for a moment, but didn't say what he had planned to criticize her for a while.

"Forget it, I'll give you a day off." She sighed, and waved her hand in the direction where Xiang Yan was, "You go home and rest, take care of your personal affairs by the way, and come back to work tomorrow."

"Only when you are in a good mood can you work well," she said.

The unique gentleness that belongs to the director.

Xiang Yan nodded, thanked the director earnestly, opened the door of the office and walked out.

Xu Yunyun was sitting outside waiting for her. When she saw her coming, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay, did the director make things difficult for you?"

"No." Xiang Yan said, sniffling her nose, pursing her lips and trying to smile at Xu Yunyun, "The director said to give me a day off."

"It's fine, Yunyun, don't worry."

Seeing this, Xu Yunyun felt distressed immediately.

This child has always been like this, no matter what he encounters, he takes care of everything by himself, doesn't want to worry others at all, and rarely talks about himself.

At first Xu Yunyun didn't quite understand it, until she saw her brother in the corridor just now and heard some sporadic things about her family, she finally realized what it was.

She sighed, put her hand on Xiang Yan's back and patted it lightly, she didn't intend to force her, she just said: "Take a shower when you get home, then drink a cup of hot milk, and then sleep well okay?"

Xiang Yan nodded and said yes, her appearance and tone were all well-behaved.

Only she lied.

Stiffly, she went to the desk to pack her things, said goodbye to her colleagues who cared about her, and Xiang Yan walked towards the stairs with her small bag.

She doesn't dare to take the elevator now, and she doesn't know if there is a shadow, she is afraid that she will see Xiangyang's figure when the elevator door opens.

She was afraid that Xiang Yang would throw her against the wall like before, so she looked at her fiercely, and said to her word by word: "I'm doing it for your own good."

Her body trembled unconsciously, her whole body ached, Xiang Yan reached into her bag, took out a strawberry candy and peeled it off into her mouth with shaking hands.

She finally relaxed a little when the sweet taste spread from the tip of her tongue.

For some reason, she really wanted to see Zhou Ru now.

Right now.

I really want to see you.
