My boyfriend is weak and can't take care of himself

Everyone in the village spoke a dialect, but Gu Cangxing couldn't understand it, so he could only ask the village chief to act as an interpreter.

I asked a few families, but I didn't have any impression, but when I asked about the house of the child holding pork belly, the old man in his 70s still remembered it.

"At the beginning, there was indeed a couple who came here to support education. They were cleanly dressed, and they looked like they were from the city."

"And do you remember that the couple adopted a child when they left?"

"Oh, who remembers this?" The old man shook his head, "Every household in the village has three or four children, and they are so poor that they can't help but give away their children. Who remembers who they took away at that time?"

Xiaozhou Village is so poor that it is good for the family to look after their own rice. Everyone has no energy to remember what happened to other people's houses.

Gu Cangxing stood up, ready to ask the next family.

Before leaving, he paused, took out his pocket, took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to the child.

The child shyly hid behind his grandma, wanting to pick up the chocolate but not daring to do so.

The village chief said a few words in dialect enthusiastically, and the child shyly took it.

The one-day visits yielded nothing. Gu Cangxing asked all the villagers, but he asked about a few families who had given away their children. They were all too poor to afford food and gave their children to relatives.

But those who were sent out were all girls, and the more barren and backward the place, the more serious the patriarchal idea.

Talk about how hard Beiyao's family is going to be to send him out?

What's even more strange is that most people remember that a pair of supporting teachers came to the village 18 years ago, but they don't remember that they took away a child at all.

The clean and tidy clothes of the Tan family and the richness of eating and drinking are incompatible with Xiaozhou Village. Everyone still remembers it vividly in the past 18 years, and even now many young adults in their twenties and thirties are their students.

But the Tanjia couple had such a deep impression, why did no one remember Yaoyao?In a place like Xiaozhou Village, every household knows each other, and the neighbors will have a little impression of anyone who has a child who has been adopted.

Or is he looking in the wrong direction?Maybe he just came to Xiaozhou Village to teach, but he was actually adopted by an orphanage?

Looks like it's time to go to a nearby orphanage to look for it tomorrow... No, if it is adopted in an orphanage, it may not be in Xiaozhou Village, it may also be in D City.

You can check the places the couple have been to in the past two years.

At this moment, someone knocked on the car window.

Gu Cangxing turned his head and saw the child he had seen during the day.

About the same age as Xiao Tan Beiyao, although he lived in poverty, he was taken care of by the adults in his family, and the children were round and chubby. At this time, he was wearing a yellow down jacket and a little tiger hat.

Gu Cangxing seemed to be able to see another silhouette on this child.

His little friend probably also dressed like this when he was a child, wearing a little tiger hat, so cute.

"What's wrong?" Gu Cangxing opened the car door, squatted in front of him and asked gently.

"It's for you." The child reached out and handed him a bag, Gu Cangxing opened it, and there were some homemade millet cakes in the bag, which were chocolates in return.

"Thank you." After taking it, Gu Cangxing thought for a while, and brought him some other snacks from the car.

This time the child was not as embarrassed as he was during the day, probably because he knew that these snacks were delicious, so he took them happily.

The way children make friends is very simple, you give me something to eat, and I will play with you.

Gu Cangxing was held by the corner of his clothes, and the child was still saying something in dialect. After listening to the dialect for a day, Gu Cangxing could vaguely guess what he meant.

"You want to take me to your secret base?"

it is as expected.

The two walked around the village, and at a place tens of meters away from the village, next to the barren fields, there was a temple dedicated to an unknown Bodhisattva.

I don’t know how long it’s been since anyone came to the temple. There are silk screens in the corners, and the walls are so faded that the blue bricks inside can be seen clearly.

The door was half broken, and the cold wind came in from the outside together with the moonlight. The child took him to hide behind the Buddha statue, and Gu Cangxing saw that behind the Buddha statue was an old single sofa for children, a small one with a Lots of toys.

The child took a wooden plane and generously shared his treasure with him.

Gu Cangxing was not very gentle and patient with others, but when facing such a child, he would always think of his family, so he didn't refuse at this time, took over the plane and flew in the air twice.

The child was very encouraged, not only clapped and applauded, but also pulled him to continue sharing.

Plastic Ultraman, [-]x[-], Plants vs. Zombies cards... After sharing and sharing, I began to play with relish.

Gu Cangxing looked aside for a while, then turned his gaze around again.

The temple occupies a small area, with high beams, and there is a stove full of incense ash on the altar in front of the lotus platform of the Bodhisattva.

If Yaoyao had grown up here, he probably would have come here to play.

The corner of Gu Cangxing's mouth twitched, and then his smile froze.

He suddenly thought of another possibility.

Tan Beiyao has been listless for the past two days, unable to eat, and has been dreaming after falling asleep.

Probably because of retribution, he always gets sick every February or so,

In the evening, I originally wanted to call Gu Cangxing, but the other party was not in the service area, and he probably went to some deep mountain forest to discuss business.

It was past eight o'clock, and Tan Beiyao went to bed early.

Not surprisingly, he dreamed about his childhood again.

Someone got married that day, Xiaotan Beiyao was probably the happiest person in the village at such a time, he could eat all he could eat, and there were offerings in the temple.

Most of the time, the food offered to the Bodhisattva will be taken away by the person offering it, but occasionally, there are people in the village who are not particularly short of food and clothing, and they will generously distribute it to him.

Talking about Beiyao's walking is not very stable, he is too thin, and his shoes don't fit well, but he can say auspicious words, which newcomers like to listen to.

But he was not happy that day.

When he went to the banquet, he was dragged to the kitchen by his collar before he was full.

A group of adults were arguing in the kitchen. It seemed that the boiled eggs had been lost. They suspected that Xiao Tan Beiyao had stolen them.

"I didn't steal it!" Xiaotan Beiyao was kicked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You are the only one who steals things in the village, who did you steal?"

Xiaotan Beiyao's tears welled up in his eyes, "I didn't steal this time..."

Of course no one would believe him.

They searched for him but failed to find him, so they went to the temple to search. The new daughter-in-law relented, "Forget it, just a few eggs."

Although he was let go, he did not steal it.Xiaotan Beiyao doesn't admit this mistake!

In the past, he stole it and he admitted to hitting it.

"I didn't steal it!"

No one listened to his explanation.

They kicked him out, Xiaotan Beiyao cried and thought aggrievedly, why should he be wronged?

Later the egg was found, but no one came to apologize to him.

That day Xiaotan Beiyao lay alone on the bed and cried for a long time.

His crib is very small, a children's sofa that some people don't want, but it suits him very well.

As long as you curl up your body, you can embed it in the sofa, which is warm and windproof.

In reality, Tan Beiyao, who had grown up, curled up habitually.

Gu Cangxing likes to stretch him into his arms, but he is still used to curling up in a ball when no one is hugging him.

The weather was bad, and it started to rain in City D.

"Back then... yes, there was an orphan who was only three or four years old."

After Gu Cangxing sent the child home, he went to ask the child's grandma.

The old lady still remembers.

"The child's life is hard. His family lives in the east of the village. One year, the roof of his house leaked. His father went up to repair the roof. He was still alive when he fell. He borrowed a lot of debt and was taken to the hospital for half a year. It’s still gone after a month. His mother didn’t want to come back, she was afraid that the villagers would ask her for money, so she ran away and left him alone.”

Gu Cangxing stopped breathing for a second, and felt ridiculous again, "He...has no relatives? How could he be an orphan?"

"Oh, his family is poor. In his father's generation, the three children all starved to death, but his father survived by himself. As for his father, he smokes cigarettes for every dime in his hand. He can't even afford to eat, so he insists on smoking cigarettes, which is not a thing. His grandparents left early, even if there is an uncle, everyone is poor at that time, who will support him?"

Why not raise it?In Gu Cangxing's eyes, his little friend is so cute, well-behaved and obedient, and eats very little. It doesn't take much effort to raise him, and he can see the cutest and most beautiful smile in the world.

Why didn't anyone help him and make him an orphan?

How did such a small child survive?

"Everyone in the village knows what happened to him. Whichever family cooks more food on a certain day will give him a morsel. But the child's hands and feet are not clean, and he steals when he is hungry. There is no other way. If he doesn't steal, he will starve to death. Hey." Speaking of this, the old lady didn't hold back, "If he is caught, he will be beaten, he will not lie, if he steals, he will steal, and he will not cry when he is beaten..."

"It's so small, you can do it?!"

The old lady was surprised: "At that time, everyone was poor, and everyone couldn't afford to eat. If he ate a bite, others would eat less. If he catches it, can he stop beating him?"

Gu Cangxing clenched his teeth, and there was a faint fishy smell in his throat.

He remembered the time when he talked about Beiyao's drunkenness. He said—"You don't understand what it's like to be hungry. I don't want to be hungry anymore."

How hungry is it? It has been 18 years, and he still remembers the feeling of being hungry when he was so young?

No wonder he likes to eat meat and seafood, but not vegetables.

No wonder he doesn't eat much of the things he likes to eat, and his appetite has always been small.

Now, how many crimes did this kid, who is held in the palm of Gu Cangxing's hand and afraid of him falling, have suffered before?

He thought that his suffering was only in the year after his parents died and was taken away by his uncle.

But it turned out that this kid, he was suffering from birth.

Gu Cangxing's hands and feet were cold, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"Where is his home?"

"I used to be in the east of the village, but then his mother left. People in the village who borrowed money from his family were not happy, so the village chief at the time made the decision and distributed his family's things to pay off the debt. The child lived in the temple later, and someone went to When worshiping the Bodhisattva, he can also eat some tributes. I haven’t seen him for a long time. This child has no parents. At that time, both parents and mothers would starve to death. Everyone also defaulted to it. .”

Gu Cangxing didn't know how he got out.

He was leaning against the wall, his heart throbbing, and he didn't even have the strength to move.

At this moment, Song Ying received the new message and rushed over.

"Mr. Gu, there's news about Qiao Miaomiao!"

Qiao Miaomiao is a sophomore this year.

She repeated the study for a year, but her grades kept failing, and she only entered a second university in the end.

The university is not close to home, the most important thing is that it is far from C city, she is very satisfied.

Qiao Miaomiao has been deliberately avoiding contact with people from the past. After three or four years, those things she didn't want to think about seemed to have finally disappeared from her life.

She gradually returned to her former happy student life.

Today was the same as usual, but when the last class was finished in the afternoon, the counselor showed up at the door of the classroom with a strange man.

A wave of discussions broke out quietly in the classroom.

"Which teacher is that? Why haven't you seen him in school?"

Qiao Miaomiao also followed everyone's gaze to the classroom door, and immediately understood why so many people were discussing it.

The man standing at the door had broad shoulders, was tall and had long legs, and was handsome in appearance, but he had a palpitating indifference in his demeanor.

It's not so much a teacher, but more like a big capitalist who is complimented at a banquet.

At this moment, the eyes of the big capitalist met her and did not move away.

The counselor called her at the door: "Qiao Miaomiao, come out."

Until entering the office, Qiao Miaomiao was still thinking aimlessly.

After entering the office, the man looked at her blankly and nodded at her.

"Hello, I'm Tan Beiyao's lover."

Talk about Beiyao.

This name is like a switch, turning on all the memories of that time at once.

This was the person Qiao Miaomiao had liked in high school for three years.

This is not unusual, there are many people who like their monitors in school.

The class monitor studies very well and is almost always number one in the school.

He is also very good at sports. He can play basketball and football. He is sunny and handsome. He is a bit cold when he is not smiling, but he always smiles. He is very popular. Even the most disobedient boys in the last row are willing to listen. his.

At that time, as long as he was in the game, the stands on both sides of the playground were always full of people.

It's not because of his advantages that Qiao Miaomiao likes him.

It was the first semester of high school, and Qiao Miaomiao's family was from the countryside. After entering the No. [-] Experimental Middle School in City D, he always felt out of place with the people around him.

Her family is not well off, and every time she recharges the meal card, it is 20 yuan and 20 yuan. Until one time when eating lunch at noon, Qiao Miaomiao took the lunch plate and went to check out after finishing the meal. money.

You can recharge at the counter, and the settlement staff are used to it: "Recharge one hundred?"

As he spoke, he had already typed the number of one hundred on the computer.

Qiao Miaomiao put her hands in her pockets, and behind her were classmates queuing up. Facing the questioning eyes of the counter staff, her face seemed to be on fire.

If it was Qiao Miaomiao now, she would not have cared about such things long ago.

But at that time, she was still a 15-year-old female student who had just come out of the countryside. Her substandard Mandarin would make others laugh without malice.

Excessive inferiority made her seem to hear the whispers around her at this moment.

She let go of the 20 yuan in her hand, "I didn't bring any money..."

At this moment, an arm stretched out by the ear.

There are slightly bulging muscles on the arms of the boys who often play ball, and they keep a distance when they brush past the ears, but they are still infected by different temperatures.

With a beep, the other party paid for her meal.

Two six.

Qiao Miaomiao turned her head.

Behind her was the monitor who was chatting lively with the people around her.

Even when he was paying for her meal, he was still smiling and talking to the people next to him. They chatted loudly about basketball stars, their eyes were bright, and they were discussing yesterday's game vigorously.

Seeing Qiao Miaomiao turn her head, the well-known school girl raised her eyebrows at her, nodded her head, meaning "it's a little effort", and then turned her eyes back to her partner.

At this moment, Qiao Miaomiao understood why so many girls liked him.

Later, she bought a bottle of milk tea in the school's supermarket, and found three newest and cleanest one-yuan banknotes from her wallet, and put them on Tan Beiyao's desk when there was no one in the classroom at noon.

After lunch, when he came back and saw the milk tea and money on the table, he immediately understood.

The boy picked up the milk tea and raised it at her. There were many students in the classroom who were taking a lunch break at noon. He smiled silently and said with his mouth: "Thank you."

After speaking, he also put on his coat and fell asleep on the table.

Qiao Miaomiao watched, smiled after a while, and mouthed "You're welcome".

I should thank you.

Since then, it has been out of control.

Qiao Miaomiao always paid attention to him unconsciously, and began to pay attention to her own clothes.

She saves the money and wants to give him a present.

She saved for a long time, and went to a stationery store outside the school to buy a beautiful candy jar, filled it with candy, and put a letter in it, and put the jar in Tan Beiyao's house at noon when no one was around. in the drawer.

But at noon that day, Tan Beiyao's deskmate and a few boys came back first.

His deskmate had a good relationship with him. When he got to the classroom, he opened Tan Beiyao's drawer first, and was going to get a tissue.

The round candy jar was immediately exposed to the eyes of several boys.

"Oh! Who gave this to Brother Yao? You know he loves this brand of candy!" The boys coaxed, holding the candy jar and about to open it.

Half the classroom was looking there, and some people were whispering, as if trying to guess who gave this gift.

Qiao Miaomiao watched with a pale face.

To like someone is to be qualified.

The sentence pattern she can often hear is: that so-and-so, who actually likes that so-and-so.

Finally, it is supplemented by a meaningful smile and a curl of lips.

It seems to say, this person is so fat, so ugly, so short... How dare she fall in love with others?

Once this kind of liking is exposed, it is an omnipotent sharp knife, which can break a person's dignity inch by inch in repeated words.

don't open-

"Pa-ta", Qiao Miaomiao seemed to be able to hear the sound of the candy jar being opened from several rows away.

The letter she had thought about for a long time was taken out of the jar.

Qiao Miaomiao's lips were trembling, and her whole body was stiff, like a prisoner about to be sentenced to death.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the door.

"What are you doing?"

Qiao Miaomiao lay down on the table.

The boy's booing voice kept drilling into his ears.

"Brother Yao, someone sent you a love letter!"

"...bring it."

"Don't, I'll help you find out who it is. Brothers have sharp eyes. If we don't deserve you, we can..."

"bring here!"

The class was silent.

Qiao Miaomiao raised her head abruptly.

The person who always smiled and had a warm voice kept a cold face, and the person who made a fuss obediently handed him the letter.

Tan Beiyao locked the letter back into the candy jar.

With a "pop", the candy jar was brought into the darkness by the drawer, and the crush of a little girl also returned to the darkness.

He never lost his temper, and no one in the class dared to speak.

Afterwards, Tan Beiyao slapped the boy who was booing just now three times.

"Jealous, jealous, jealous?" Although he gritted his teeth, there was a smile on his face.

The familiar warmth returned to him, and the silent classroom finally regained its vitality as usual.

Qiao Miaomiao heard them acting as if nothing happened, and started joking again.

Only then did she understand that there are many people who like him in school, but it is often difficult to pinpoint which girl.

Because unless the girl speaks out on her own initiative, he will never show off such a thing.

He carefully protects other people's love for him and respects other people's secret love.

In the evening, Qiao Miaomiao received a reply in the hole of her desk.

Just like she carefully put the candy jar in the hole of his table, he also carefully put the letter back, and gave back a bottle of milk tea and a cake.

"May you enrich yourself and realize your dreams in your ideal university. Come on!"

Qiao Miaomiao ate the cake, drank the milk tea, and put the letter in the diary, which became her motivation.

She knew that they would not be in the same company.

But she knew the sun in the sky, and at that moment, she also wanted to be such a person.

Gentle, hot, someone who can shine on others.

Qiao Miaomiao no longer hopes for any other relationship between the two of them, but which girl doesn't want the person she likes to see her best side?

Until the third year of high school——

"I really hate Liu Qi! But I, I don't dare... His father is the director of the Public Security Bureau. The three of us went to the police station together. The monitor and I were locked up, so he can move freely. He came to threaten I went to beat the squad leader...my dad was also called to the police station, and he knelt down for Liu Qi after he came, and I..."

Qiao Miaomiao cried intermittently, "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... Liu Qi said, if I don't change my confession, I will send the video... If the video is sent to me, I really don't know how to live..."

Gu Cangxing listened silently, listening to her cry loudly.

She can still cry, and his little friends dare not remove this scar even now.

Gu Cangxing stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Qiao Miaomiao stopped him: "I'm sorry! Can you say sorry to the monitor for me?"

"No." Gu Cangxing's voice was cold, "You don't even dare to face the person who apologized. Who are you saying sorry for?"

Even though Qiao Miaomiao couldn't be blamed for the whole incident, she was one of the victims, and she also had difficulties.

But her cowardice was like a hammer, even if it didn't penetrate her body and cause scars, it really hurt Tan Beiyao's heart at that moment.

Gu Cangxing couldn't imagine how Tan Beiyao felt when he saw that confession and the people he saved described his behavior as jealousy.

Gu Cangxing pushed open the door, and Song Ying was waiting at the door.

"Mr. Gu, just now the Minister of Legal Affairs sent a message saying that Wang Lin was found..."

"Go home first."

"……what?"

"Go home first." Gu Cangxing lowered his eyes, "He must have missed me."

Tan Beiyao lost his appetite after eating two bites of shrimp at night.

Call Gu Cangxing, but the other party is not in the service area.

Mad!

Talk about the Beiyao group in the quilt.

He now goes to bed early at night, but still has no energy during the day.

The past that he usually doesn't want to mention has been reappearing in his dreams over and over again, even if it's just a very ordinary fragment, he can suddenly wake up.

It happens like this every year, and it won't get better until I get sick in February.

There are many photos they took when they were in the Maldives in the phone album, and Tan Beiyao flipped through them one by one, getting more and more angry.

"When I don't want to sleep with you, I pinch my waist and don't let me run away. I need you now, so I just won't come back." Tan Beiyao threw the phone away, "Don't bother me."

He muttered and cursed for a while, and finally fell asleep after scolding enough.

This time I dreamed of elementary school.

When he was a child, he really had a lot of bad habits, he would steal things and cheat people.

Tan Beiyao would not take the initiative to eat the fruit his parents bought when he was a child, unless his parents stuffed something into his hands.

Once my parents bought bananas, it was the first time for Xiaotan Beiyao to eat them, and I fell in love with them immediately after one bite.

But his parents only gave him one.

At night, he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, when there was no sound outside, he secretly opened the door, broke one in the living room, and secretly ate it in the room.

After eating, I started to regret it.

But he didn't have the courage to admit it, so he put the banana peel in his backpack, ready to take it to school and throw it away.

But the banana peel is not a dry bun. It was put in the schoolbag and pressed under the books. When my mother came to pick up his schoolbag to take him to class the next day, she touched it with her hand and found something wrong.

The whole schoolbag was sticky with a piece of banana peel, and the books were stained.

Tan's mother, who was always gentle, couldn't take it anymore, and hit him on the shoulder all of a sudden.

"What's the matter with you? I told you that all the things I bought are for you. What's wrong with you?"

Xiaotan Beiyao shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Tan's mother sighed, and knelt down to reason with him.

"Yaoyao, what do you want to eat, what do you want, you tell your parents, and your parents won't be angry. But you can't steal things, you can't lie to adults, you know? No one likes a lying child!"

Her gentle look is still in front of my eyes.

Tan Beiyao stretched out his hand unconsciously.

"I won't lie...you guys come back..."

At this time, everything in front of him changed again.

His mother's face disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, Gu Cangxing stood in front of him expressionlessly.

"Are you not lying?"

……

"Far away, far away?"

Tan Beiyao let out a breath like a drowning person, and finally opened his eyes as his chest heaved.

It took a while for the eyesight to become clearer.

Tan Beiyao opened his eyes wide, panting heavily, looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.

"...Gu Cang?"

Gu Cangxing gently touched his cheek, and the warmth came from his fingertips.

"What's wrong? Had a nightmare?"

Tan Beiyao stared at him blankly, feeling the familiar temperature, blinked his eyes once, then blinked again, and turned his back to him abruptly.

"You still know how to come back?!"

Menacing, but also with a little grievance.

Gu Cangxing's Adam's apple moved, and he blinked quickly, took off his coat, lay down beside him, and gently hugged him into his arms.

He moved gently, but hugged tightly as if he was afraid of losing.

"Sorry," Gu Cangxing kissed his forehead, "I'm sorry baby, I'm late."
