Yunxi's congenital heart disease is not too serious, as long as it is well maintained, it will hardly be life-threatening.But he has to take medicine for a whole year, and his body is weak, so he is called an abandoned baby, and he misses the opportunity to adopt again and again.

The couples who liked Yunxi's pretty appearance all ended up making other choices because of his mild illness.He lived in Xishan Orphanage for 17 years.

There are too many children in the orphanage, but too few aunts to take care of them.Yunxi only received preferential treatment for a short period of two years when she was a toddler.

After that, the silence subsided, and from a young age Yunxi became Yunxi's elder brother, watching the children from the orphanage come and leave in batches.

Because of this, Yunxi especially longs for the so-called "warmth of family". The loving mother and strict father are very kind to him because he has longed for it for a long time.But it is also very far away, because it has not been obtained.

The dean of the orphanage is a taciturn uncle. He often walks over and pats Yunxi on the shoulder when Yunxi watches the adopted children leave the orphanage.

It's not that she dislikes the hardships of life in the orphanage. On the contrary, Yunxi grew up here. Without comparison, she can't accurately understand the sympathy for them from the reporters and hosts who come to Xishan to record programs during the holidays.

It’s okay, I feel like I have no roots, I’m floating in the air, and I don’t have a home to return to.

However, after the full year, they completely lost the eligibility to be adopted legally.

When he finished high school, went to college, and entered the crowd alone, he would have no chance to find warmth in the world.

Yunxi sits in the activity room and flips through the children's picture albums. The colors are bright and the composition is simple.On the top is a tall man in a suit, a woman in lipstick and a skirt, and a child in the middle, holding hands and smiling at Yunxi outside the album.

Although he is 17 years old, his figure is thinner than his peers, like a clothes hanger.The palm-sized face has a pointed chin, but it is a little bit cute baby fat. The face is very beautiful, with a youthful look, and a head of soft dark brown hair. white.

The wrist that slipped out of the sleeve was very thin, and it was not too much to describe it as skinny.He was too haggard and thin, as if a gust of autumn wind from Xishan could knock him down, and Xishan has a bleak wind.

According to the news, City C is very hot in summer, like a furnace.

However, the Xishan Welfare Institute located in the outer suburbs is rarely exposed to the smoke and fire of the city. The summer vacation has already passed halfway, and it should be the time when the temperature is at its highest. Yunxi has to wear a thin coat when he wants to go out of the room in the evening.

It's not that Xishan is really cold. The other healthy children are still wearing short sleeves and shorts.Yunxi knew that she was different from them.

That night, Yunxi, who never talked much, ran to the dean's office before going to bed. He could see that the lights were still on in the yard, and he knew that the dean was still awake.

The dean put on the glasses to open the door for Yunxi, and said a lesson first: "If you come out of this point, you will cough again when the wind blows." As he spoke, he turned sideways tightly and let Yunxi into the room.

Yunxi bowed her head and went to sit on the sofa for guests, and the thin one almost sank into it.

He twisted his fingers for a while before asking in a low voice, "Dean, how long is my birthday?"

The dean sat back to his original position, turned down the sound of the tape recorder playing Huangmei Opera, and raised his hand gently in mid-air to the rhythm inside, as if thinking for a while, and said: "It's early, December, there are still half a year left. .”

Yunxi actually knew that he just didn't give up and wanted to confirm, "Is this the same date on my ID card?"

The dean looked at Yunxi from behind the lens, and said slowly: "Silly boy, we count birthdays according to the date on the ID card."

Yunxi stopped talking, and sat there picking her fingers again. After a while, she was distracted by the Huangmei opera played by the dean, and started humming.

The dean listened to a few words, smiled and coughed a few times, and said, "It's still decent."

Yunxi lowered her head, her long eyelashes flickering, casting a shadow, her voice lowered, "You... It was several years after you registered at that time, why can't you tell me how younger you are."

The dean said curiously: "What's the matter, a five-year-old child, I'll tell you it's eight months old."

Yunxi also knew that she was being unreasonable, she pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at the dean, and said, "No."

"Don't be afraid, Yunxi." The dean stood up with the armrest of the chair, walked slowly to Yunxi's side, and patted his thin shoulder like before: "If there is one in fate, there will always be one. If not, you can’t force it.”

Yunxi was ill all the year round, once or twice as a serious illness, and even if the rest were minor illnesses, she couldn't stand the fits and starts, and gradually faded into this fragile state.

The dean pressed his rough palm on the back of Yunxi's hand with a few needle holes, and asked, "What grade does school start?"

Yunxi said, "Grand one."

When he was six years old, he had an illness. He was in and out of the ICU for more than half a year, which emptied the foundation of the orphanage.

After he was discharged from the hospital, the dean kept him for three years out of prudence, so the 17-year-old Yunxi was just about to enter high school when school started this fall.

"Oh..." The dean is old, and there are so many children, so his memory is not good.

He was thoughtful, and after a while he said, "I think about it, you are on vacation earlier than them, saying that you are going to take the senior high school entrance examination. Then...study hard and pay more attention to your body. Don't worry about other things, remember? "

Yunxi nodded: "I remember."

"Okay." The dean led him to the door, "It's getting late, go back to sleep. Dean, I have to get up early tomorrow, and someone called in the afternoon and said he was coming."

Yunxi looked back at him, and he coughed a few times due to the night wind.The dean said, "I know, I can help you ask."

The next day really came early in the morning just like what I said on the phone yesterday.

Someone came with the driver and drove an Audi A4L with a military plate.The car was low-key, the driver was waiting in the driver's seat, and a young man in his 30s in a black business suit got out of the car and waited politely outside the iron gate.

Although the matter came urgently, they had all the information and they seemed to be members of the government system, so the dean had no reason to stop them.

Just thinking, Yunxi's wish probably won't come true today.

"I'll trouble you to look through the information later. It's best not to adopt a child who is too young."

But the two walked into the room one after the other, and the man who looked like a civil servant uttered the first sentence, which diverged from what the dean thought.

"Yes, yes." The dean said hurriedly.

The young man tilted his head slightly and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Look, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Li, Li Wei. Just call me Xiao Li."

"Mr. Li." The dean shook hands with him and smiled, "If you have any demands, you can say anything to the children. You don't have to say it hard. After all, if you don't like it, it's not good for them to take it back."

"Hey." Li Wei maintained a proper smile, and said politely: "It's not a request, I just hope that I can take care of myself, try my best..."

He considered for a moment, and finally chose to cut to the chase: "You must have seen that it's not me who wants to adopt, it's us... Our leader, leader, must be a little busy, so I hope that there will be as little trouble as possible, that's fine. Others Request no."

As he got older, the dean's hands were trembling slightly all the time.He took out his glasses cloth to wipe his eyes, and asked slowly: "The trouble you mentioned, sir, means..."

"Oh." Li Wei patted his thigh lightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about taking care of food and daily life. There are aunts and servants at home, so you can take care of everything. It's more convenient if you are older. The leader likes to be quiet. It's inevitable to be naughty at a young age, you..."

"Understood." The dean nodded as if suddenly enlightened, put on the wiped glasses, bent down and took out a stack of documents from the cabinet at the bottom, flipped through the pages, and when he found one place, he stopped and took the cloth full of paper. Pointing to Li Wei with wrinkled fingers, "This kid, Yunxi. He is seventeen this year. He has been good since he was a child. He also likes to be quiet and read books. When the school starts... the first year of high school, he will be busy with his studies and will not have time to think about it. Naughty."

Li Wei glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Wenyuan's position is getting higher and higher year by year, but the marriage is still not settled.This is no longer a question of whether the family is in a hurry. There are many sensitivities within the system. As long as he is single, there are many things that cannot be done, and many people cannot use it.Just talking about going to a meeting, there are female colleagues with lower ranks than him present, and they will avoid going out during the break and not being in the same room with them.

It was calculated that he would be transferred again next year, so the old lady thought about it and brought him back in his name. Even if he was not around to raise him, it would be a political achievement and a title, so he wouldn't be too lonely.

"It's just that the body is a little weak, but..." the dean hesitated.

"Don't worry about that." Li Wei only thought that the old dean was worried that they would treat the children badly, so he interrupted: "The family's conditions are very good, so it's definitely not a problem to take care of... the children of Yunxi."

"That's good." The dean got up and took him out, "That's good, I'll take Mr. Li to see Yunxi. He passed the high school entrance examination and has already been on vacation. Right now, he is probably in the house, reading. He Just like your leaders, I like to be quiet." The dean repeated unconsciously, "It's easy to get along."

"Yunxi, call someone. Uncle Li."

Yunxi was extremely nervous. When he stood up, he forgot the album on his lap, and it fell to the ground with a thud. He didn't have time to pick it up, so he called first, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Li Wei looked around the room before saying, "Are you Yunxi?"

Yunxi wrung her hands together and said, "I am."

Li Wei didn't speak to him again, but just turned around and nodded to the dean, saying, "Let's go through the formalities, we have to go down the mountain before dark."

They walked out, Yunxi's eyes chased after them, as if they didn't understand what it meant.The dean looked back at him with a smile, and left quickly.

After a while, the dean came in again, beckoning to Yunxi: "Yunxi, come on, pack your things."

Yunxi stood by the door helplessly, as if she couldn't understand the words.

"Stupid child." The dean walked towards him slowly, "It's agreed, I will take you away, take you home, and the procedures are all done."

He held Yunxi's arm, and the two of them walked towards the dormitory, babbling: "Your household has also moved from here. They will take it to the government affairs hall to get a stamp, and then the entry is over. Mr. Li said, There is no need to change the name, just add a surname in front... Yunxi?"

Yunxi's eyes were red, and she hastily lowered her head.

The dean laughed again and said, "Silly boy."

Yunxi doesn't have much, just a few clothes and two sets of school uniforms.

With almost no need to clean up, he can completely leave the place where he has lived for 17 years.

Yunxi followed Li Wei into the black car, and gradually moved away from the orphanage in the unique wind of Xishan.

Apart from Li Wei's voice on the phone, there was only very low music in the car.

Except for asking "Are you Yunxi" at the beginning, Li Wei never spoke to Yunxi again.

The mountain road is not very smooth, Yunxi thought wildly in the bumps, did he act a little stupid when he met him for the first time, how far is the road, and can he really stay when he arrives?This person seems a little too strict, will it be difficult to get along with in the future?

It's just that after thinking wildly for a long time, Yunxi was enveloped by an uncomfortable feeling.My heart hurts.But the dean explained that it is best not to reveal the secret first, so he was a little afraid amidst the discomfort.

Li Wei didn't pay much attention to Yunxi.

He is very busy, taking a day to come to Xishan to do this has already put a lot of work on him. Now that the signal is good, he is busy answering phone calls and sending and receiving emails.

When approaching the urban area, Fu Wenyuan's lawyer called.

At that time, the driver lowered some of the windows, and Yunxi, who was breathing fresh air, was much better. He focused on Li Wei again, and heard him say "Got it", "I'll take it home at night", "Boy , 17 years old, called Yunxi".

Yunxi doesn't know who is on the other side of the phone, this is Uncle Li, is it possible...there is, Uncle Li's wife, wearing lipstick and a skirt, is the mother in the album?

The car stopped in front of a building, Li Wei got out of the car, Yunxi didn't know what to do, and looked at him helplessly.

Li Wei walked out of his car window and said to him: "I'm going in to do some errands, I'll be out soon, you wait in the car."

Yunxi nodded obediently, "Okay, Uncle Li."

At this time, Li Wei suddenly broke into a smile, with the gentlest expression since we met, "Don't call me uncle, just call me Xiao Li."

Yunxi looked at him in embarrassment, but didn't speak.

Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

Li Wei didn't come out so fast, Yunxi almost fell asleep in the car, and only heard the sound of the car door closing.

He immediately sat up straight, saw Li Wei turned around, and handed him something, "This is your new ID card, you can hold it by yourself when you are older, just be careful not to lose it."

Yunxi took it, and saw it in the dim light in the car with the film on it. On the ID card, the name column read: Fu Yunxi.

When he arrived at the place, Li Wei opened the door and took him in: "Look, this is where you will live in the future. I will go through the transfer procedures tomorrow morning and transfer your student status from Xishan. You just... just stay at ease. There was no one around, so I gave the cleaning aunt a holiday. She was notified yesterday, and she will be there tomorrow. Someone will cook the meals, and someone will clean up the clothes after changing... In addition, be careful about the water and electricity, don't move around, you know ?"

Combined with the word Fu on the ID card, Yunxi understood something, and agreed: "I know."

"Okay." Knowing that Yunxi already understood, Li Wei looked around again, but didn't think of anything new to ask, and finally said: "When you are busy, sir will live in the compound, but sometimes Come here. In short, you can come to me for anything, try not to bother Mr.

Yunxi nodded seriously: "I know, I won't trouble you sir."

Li Wei left, Yunxi stood there for a while before looking back into the room.

This is a small single-family building. Yunxi didn't see the floors because he walked in too fast.But standing in the living room on the first floor, he could feel the size of the house, it was too big, showing his insignificance.

Most of the furniture in the room is mahogany, and the wooden floor is darker in color, but it matches well.It's not the kind of western decoration on TV, but it's warm and just right.

Going further inside, bypassing the partition, the sofa opposite the big TV shows a modern look, it is made of black leather, with a few white pillows on it.

He didn't dare to go up. The room was too big and there was no one there. He sat on the sofa for a while before thinking of taking out the medicine.

Yunxi's body was actually very tired after bumping in the car all day.

After taking the medicine, I felt even more tired. I didn't take much in the hotel Yunxi just now, and now I feel more comfortable.

He was dizzy, and fell asleep on the sofa with his arms around him.

Yunxi woke up once in the middle, and the electronic watch next to the TV showed 01:36. The lights in the room were not turned on, and the curtains were not drawn, but there was not much light outside, and Yunxi could hardly see anything.

Suddenly a very strong panic surged in his heart, and he regretted leaving Xishan for a while, and he was about to rush out in almost a second, find a phone booth as soon as possible and call the dean, begging him to pick him up.

It seems that the outside is not as good as he longed for. He would rather spend his whole life alone in a familiar place.

In this short period of time, I thought of a short music, and then the lights in the room were lit.

Yunxi couldn't open his eyes for a while under the glare of the light. He covered his eyes and sat up from the sofa in a panic. Through his fingers, he saw the man standing by the door, with a black suit on one arm. When he closed the door with his hand back, he was attracted by the person on the sofa, so he stopped.

Yunxi's eyes slowly adapted to the light, and she stared blankly at the door.

I saw that the man was tall and tall, with a pair of dark eyes under the sharp eyebrows, a straight nose bridge and beautiful lips combined to form an extremely handsome but stern face.

After a short pause, the man came to Yunxi, looked down at him, and his hoarse voice shook Yunxi's eardrum: "You..."

Yunxi opened her mouth slightly, knelt up awkwardly from the leather sofa, and said stumblingly, "First, sir, good evening, I'm Yunxi..."

He remembered his new ID card, blushing and added: "Fu Yunxi."
