"Look, this is something he asked the front desk to hand over to you." Xu Shaoling stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay a badge, a copper badge with a blooming rose on it. Some oxidized and the edges turned black.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to take it, Yan Chengli snatched it away.

He held the badge in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to see a hole in the badge.

But his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Gu Yuan said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, why are you snatching it?"

"Xu Shaoling, you said that Ah Jiu gave you this?" Yan Chengli's voice began to tremble.

Xu Shaoling didn't know what happened to Yan Chengli, he frowned and nodded: "Yes."

He grabbed the badge fiercely, walked in front of Gu Yuan, unfolded the badge in front of his eyes, and asked him: "Xiao Yuan, do you still remember this badge?"

"Ah?" Gu Yuan stared blankly at the badge, and couldn't dig out the badge from his memory for a long time, so he could only say, "This is my brother's, right? I don't remember that I have this badge."

"You stayed in the orphanage for a while when you were young, do you remember?" Yan Chengli asked in a low voice.

"I remember some of this." Gu Yuan said honestly, "But it didn't last long."

"Yes, in about half a year, I begged my mother to adopt you back." Yan Chengli said, "Do you still have any memories of that half a year?"

"I don't really remember, but I seemed to be in poor health at that time, and I often lived in the hospital. I remember that there was a strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital." Gu Yuan opened the dusty memory for a long time: "The last time I I caught influenza and had a terrible fever, and my brother went to the hospital to accompany me, but he was infected by me, and he also had a fever, when I come back."

"When you come back, I will take you to City X, right?"

"Yes, I didn't even see my brother for the last time. I was the one who infected my brother at that time, and he also had a fever." Gu Yuan recalled that period of the past.

Yan Chengli closed his eyes, and asked the last sentence: "Xiao Yuan, do you still remember me? When you were still in the orphanage when you were young, you called me Brother Yan, and I called you Gu Gu?"

"Ah?" Gu Yuan said inexplicably, "Brother, what are you talking about? Where did I see you in the orphanage? And I always call you Big Brother."

Xu Shaoling understood it completely, he looked at Yan Chengli with pity, and stopped Yan Chengli from saying: "Cheng Li, let's stop here, this is the end, you..."

Yan Chengli took a deep breath.

Xu Shaoling said to Gu Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, let's go out first, let your elder brother sleep well."

Gu Yuan hesitated and said, "But..."

"Let's go, let your brother have a good rest so that he has the strength to look for Gu Jiu again, won't he?" Xu Shaoling finally dragged Gu Yuan away.

It was already noon outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the spring breeze was warm.

It's early spring, the flowers have bloomed, and everyone's face is filled with the joy of spring.

In the ward, it was as cold as winter.

-------------------

"Why do you run here every day?" The little child asked with a pouted mouth, but his hand was still stretched out as usual.

Yan Chengli put the candy in his hand, and he showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing him laughing, Yan Chengli couldn't help laughing, he complained: "My younger brother is so annoying, he always does this and that at home, but my mother depends on her for everything."

"The elder brother should let the younger brother." He peeled off the candy wrapper, licked it first, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and then wrapped the candy into his mouth in one gulp, and a small bag bulged cutely on his cheek.

"Say it like you're a brother too."

"I..." He turned his head, and came up with the idea of ​​teasing him: "I don't have one, but I have a twin brother. I'm a younger brother, and he always gives in to me. .”

Yan Chengli saw the sweetness of his food, and licked the corner of his mouth: "Give me one too."

"No, I will leave whatever food my brother has. You are older than my brother, so you are a big brother, and you should leave it to me." He said clearly.

It's a pity that Yan Chengli was honest and reasonable when he was a child. He had a sullen face: "I only divided these few, and Cheng Ming took the rest. Now it's good, I haven't tasted any of them."

He smiled, thinking that this bitter gourd face was so like Gu Yuan's face that was robbed earlier by him.

"Why don't I give you one?"

"Really?" Yan Chengli opened his eyes wide.

"You were the one who invited me to eat." Gu Jiu generously took out one and stuffed it into his hand.

Yan Chengli tore off the wrapping paper and asked him, "Who are you waiting for at this intersection every day?"

"Wait for my brother...brother." He almost made a mistake, he stuck out his tongue.

"What happened to your brother?"

"He was always sick, and the dean sent him to the hospital."

"Then why didn't you wait for him in the courtyard?" Yan Chengli couldn't understand why he walked through such a long street every day, from the old street to the new street.

"Hush, because I'm cute." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "If I wait at the door, many uncles and aunts will want to adopt me. I don't want to be adopted. If I hide, I won't be adopted." Adopted."

"You are so shameless." Yan Chengli clicked his tongue: "How can a boy call himself cute?"

"Aren't I cute?" Gu Jiu looked at him and blinked at him.

Yan Chengli looked at him, his eyes sparkled like the stars in summer.His face was flushed, his lips seemed to be smeared with cherry juice,

Looking at Yan Chengli's serious face, he widened his smile, revealing two cute canine teeth.

His big smile was as bright as the sun, shining into his little heart.

He lowered his head with a blushing face, his heart beat a drum.

"Hahahaha, are you shy?" Gu Jiu smiled even more happily. Since meeting him last week, he has gained a little brother who buys him candy and plays with him every day.

"Why don't you want to be adopted?" Yan Chengli changed the subject: "Don't all your children want to be adopted? This way you can eat delicious candies every day."

"I just don't want to be adopted before my brother. I can only feel relieved when I see him being adopted by a very good uncle and aunt." Gu Jiu was like a kid, and tore open another candy.

"How do you know that they won't adopt you two?" Yan Chengli asked innocently.

"The probability of this is very small," Gu Jiu said, "I asked the dean's aunt, basically there is no precedent for adopting two children, and I have no such plan."

"I'm going back, it's getting dark, I guess my brother won't come back today." Gu Jiu said.

"Ah? You are leaving?" Yan Chengli was very disappointed. He could only go out for a walk after finishing his homework and piano practice every day, but for him who had been waiting all afternoon, it was already late for him to go back.

"I'll come again tomorrow." Gu Jiu comforted him.

"Then what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll bring it to you." Yan Chengli said quickly.

"Can I order it?" Gu Jiu was incredulous: "Actually, I eat all of them, but if you bring them out every day, won't your mother say you eat too many snacks?"

"She won't, now she scolds Cheng Ming every day, and goes out to do business with her father, she has long forgotten me." Yan Chengli complained like a resentful woman: "Working every day, Cheng Ming's... ..”

Gu Jiu was deeply touched, but compared to Gu Yuan, he is too skinny, so he will still get some attention.

"Don't be angry, I'll be with you again tomorrow."

"Okay." Yan Chengli was happy, then remembered something, and said, "We've known each other for a few days, and you haven't told me your name yet."

"No, no, you can't tell others your name casually."

"What, I told you everything." Yan Chengli was extremely disappointed.

"You can call me Gu Gu," Gu Jiu said, "I'll call you Brother Yan, okay?"

"Gu Gu?"

"That's right, my surname is Gu." He said cleverly with his big eyes shining.

And then... what happened then?
