boss i swear

Chapter 17

When the yellowed, but still beautiful and happy fragments were assembled in my mind like a puzzle, I finally sat on the ground in a daze, holding the photo frame in my arms, and the tears burst like a broken embankment. It poured down and soaked my skirt.

I haven't cried so freely for a long time, because I remembered in a trance that when I was about to be taken away by my adoptive parents, I once told the teacher in the orphanage that if my little brother came to me, tell him Dai will never forget him, and will look for him when he grows up.

However, I broke my promise. As time went by, I almost forgot about him, and I never thought of looking for him, but he never forgot me a day, and never gave up the idea of ​​looking for me. , I just found out that the little brother's name is Qiao Chu.

I stared at the photo in my hand with tears in my eyes. Although my little brother was chubby at that time, he was a different person from now, but the star-like eyebrows and the wonderful arc of his lips when he smiled were clearly the same as now. Qiao Chu.

With tears in my eyes, I put the photo frame back to its original position, got up, walked to the bed and sat down, staring at Qiao Chu silently, he was still sleeping peacefully, breathing smoothly and evenly, I held him tightly The hot hand, has been holding it, and never wants to let go.

In the evening, Qiao Chu's fever subsided a lot, and his complexion gradually improved. After I washed off the tears on my face, I made him a light dinner. While eating, he found that my eyes were a little red and swollen, and he was surprised. Asked: "Meng Yang, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to cry?"

I smiled and answered him pretending to be relaxed: "It's okay, boss, I just watched a movie while you were sleeping, and it turned out to be a tragedy, so I cried."

"Haha, you're so funny, elders are not afraid of being laughed at even if they cry while watching a movie?" Qiao Chu smiled helplessly, and stretched out her hand to pat my head.

"I'll tell you alone, if you want to make a joke, you can make a joke, I don't care." I rolled my eyes in dissatisfaction, lowered my head and continued to eat, and ignored him.

At night, I really wanted to snuggle up to Qiao Chu to fall asleep, but he was afraid of infecting me with the cold, so he refused to kiss me even though he hugged me. Doesn't he know that lovers should share weal and woe?In fact, I am not afraid of catching a cold.

The next day, Qiao Chu didn't go to work because she was still a little unwell, so she decided to stay at home and rest. After having breakfast together, I said I would go out and buy something, and then I went out. When I got back what I wanted, see When Qiao Chu was lying on the sofa and fell asleep again, I lightly took out the Ipad he was holding in his arms and put it aside, then went to the kitchen and poured a box of building blocks I bought back on the dining table, and started building. I got up, and when I finished building the building blocks, Qiao Chu also woke up, but when he saw me sitting at the table building the building blocks, he asked me in a daze:

"What are you doing? I'm sick, and you still have time to play children's games?"

I looked up at him, stood up, and replied seriously: "Boss, what I built is a castle."

When Qiao Chu heard my words, he was dazed at first, but soon his eyes changed, and he began to stare at me intently, and his pure eyes were gradually covered with a layer of mist.

"I once promised a person that I would build a castle and ask him to live in it." I paused, stabilized my emotions, and after I calmly said this, I raised my eyes and looked directly at him, "Brother, the castle is built for you." Alright, please move in!"

After my words fell, Qiao Chu was speechless for a while, just looking at me as if unable to speak, with brilliance flashing in his eyes, after a long time, he slowly walked in front of me, with a peaceful smile on his lips .

"Xiaodai...you have grown up and become handsome." Qiao Chu's voice was very calm, but filled with deep yearning, "I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown up."

Qiao Chu’s last voice trembled, and I couldn’t hold it back after all, tears dripped down, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I didn’t recognize you, in fact, many times I Should have recognized you, but didn't, sorry, brother..."

"Why are you crying!" Seeing my tears streaming down my cheeks, Qiao Chu laughed instead. She smiled dotingly, hugged me into her arms while laughing, and couldn't stop comforting, "I don't blame you, it's been so many years No, you were so young back then, it's normal not to recognize you."

"It's all your fault! You've changed too much. You used to be a little fat man with flesh all over your face. You can't even find your eyes when you smile. Now you're tall, thin, and so handsome. Who am I to tell you?" Reasonable?" I cried until my nose and tears flowed onto his shoulders, and I complained, but in his arms, I felt so at ease for the first time, even before being held by him, I still felt faint I don't know whether this man is worth loving or not, but now it seems that my worries are superfluous.

"Okay, blame me, blame me." Qiao Chu let go of me with distress and amused, wiped away the tears for me, and still ordered me in her usual tone, "Don't cry! You know it's me, why don't you be happy? Don't worry. Well, I have said that I will always be good to you, and I will make up for what I owed you in the future, so don't cry like a little girl."

Hearing Qiao Chu's promise, I burst into laughter immediately, as if the bitterness I had endured in those years when he was not by my side was insignificant, and the days when he was not by my side were also precious, because after those lonely and helpless days It was only in the days that I realized more deeply how happy it feels to be in his arms at this moment.

While we were smiling at each other, the coded lock outside the door made a beeping sound, as if someone was pressing the code, and I turned my head to look at the door in surprise.

"It should be Nana, she knows the password of my house."

As soon as Qiao Chu finished speaking, the door was opened, and it was Qiao Na who came in first, but what surprised Qiao Chu and me was that Qiao Chu's mother and Josie also walked in behind Qiao Na. When I stood beside Qiao Chu, the expressions of the three of them were very surprised.

"Mom, take a look. It's that kid. I don't know where Xiao Chu knew such a person." Josie pointed at me with disgust, and then looked at Qiao Chu with a calm expression in puzzlement.It seems that he led his wife and Qiao Na to set up a special mission to inquire about the crime.

"Meng Yang?" Qiao Na walked in front of me, looked at me with a very confused expression, and then at her brother, as if she couldn't understand the situation at all, "Why are you here?"

"What? You know each other?" Josie's reaction made Josie even more puzzled. For a while, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

"You... aren't you Nana's boyfriend?" Madam was even more surprised, she frowned and kept looking at me. My daughter just told herself a few days ago that she and Jerry had broken up. I came back, but at this time I saw me appearing in front of me strangely, the most important thing is that I appeared in Qiao Chu's house, Madam immediately turned to Qiao Na and asked inexplicably, "Nana, what's going on?" ? Isn't he your boyfriend?"

"I...I..." Qiao Na was at a loss, she didn't know how to explain to her mother, "He...he is not my boyfriend..."

"What did you say? Not your boyfriend?" Madam was furious when she heard the words, she took a step closer to me and accused me, "Who the hell are you? How can you cooperate with my daughter to deceive me, an old woman? There are no elders in your family ? Didn't anyone teach you how to behave?"

"Mom!" Madam's words touched Qiao Chu's sensitive and fragile nerves. He suddenly became agitated and wanted to defend me. I stopped him and apologized to Madam in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. ,please forgive……"

"Mom, you don't know, he's already living with Xiao Chu now." Josie added fuel to the fire, and Madam stared at me and Qiao Chu with wide eyes, not knowing what to say , "It was my sister's boyfriend before, and now it's my brother's boyfriend, haha, I've never heard such a funny thing."

"Xiao Chu! What's going on?" Madam's voice suddenly increased in decibel. At this moment, she thought she was being teased by these children, and she frowned in anger.

"Mom..." Qiao Chu's voice sounded calm, but his expression suddenly became sad, and his eyes were faintly red, "He's Xiaodai..."

"What?" The four words Qiao Chu uttered seemed to have magical powers, instantly causing the three people in front of them to lose their senses. Switching back and forth, she suddenly asked, "Xiao Dai? Isn't Xiao Dai the child that the second brother has been thinking about for more than ten years?" Qiao Na finally realized after speaking, and covered her mouth with her hands in shock.

It was only then that I discovered that the relationship between Qiao Chu and me was not a secret between the two of us. His family members all knew about it, especially his wife. Maybe she also felt that everything was unbelievable like a dream, she slowly walked in front of me, looked at me for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Are you really Xiaodai?"

I timidly looked at the lady whose tone calmed down instantly, feeling a little nervous, but I still mustered up the courage to address her like I did when I was a child: "Yes, a... aunt..."

The madam looked at me in disbelief, and tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes, "So it's been so long, and you've grown up so much?" The madam smiled with tears in her eyes, and gestured in front of her, " You were only this tall back then, and now you are an adult."

I tried my best to look at my wife with a smile. She looks very kind at the moment, just like back then. I still remember that once when I was sick, she rushed to the orphanage anxiously and handed over the best imported medicine to the teacher. , asked them to take good care of me, then leaned over lovingly at me on the hospital bed, and gently touched my face...

"Why didn't you tell me he was Xiaodai earlier?" At this moment, Josie showed a look of regret on his face, with a bit of complaint in his tone.

Qiao Chu sighed indifferently, and replied coldly, "Is it useful to tell you? When did you really care about me?"

"You..." Faced with his younger brother's stubbornness, Josie was helpless and heartbroken.

Madam stood in front of me, still looking at me with gentle eyes, with unconcealable pity in her eyes, "You have suffered a lot these years, right? Come, let auntie hug me." As she spoke, she stretched out Hugged me with both arms, put warm hands on the back of my neck and kept stroking, I instantly recalled the moving moment when I was held in her arms when I was a child, the tears were as big as broken beads Big ones fell down.

"Auntie...Auntie..." I called her one after another, hugging and weeping with her, like a pair of mother and son who had been separated for many years and finally ushered in a reunion. The three brothers and sisters beside me have been silent and quietly Looking at me hugging my wife, the room gradually filled with sadness.
