Chapter 14 Call out, brother, listen.

He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, the high-end white linen and black trousers were already wrinkled.

Green stubble grew on the lower jaw, and the eyes were bloodshot, and the bruise was even thicker under the eyes.

Jiang Niannian stood by the window and watched him keep waving his hands. This moment seemed to have happened when he was a child.

At that time, Huo Qi had broken hair and was wearing a blue and white school uniform. He was also standing in the same position, holding the perfect test paper in his hand, smiling like a beating, and shouted downstairs: "Jiang Niannian, I got full marks again!"

And Jiang Niannian gritted her teeth and stared at him with red walnut eyes from crying.

She had just been reprimanded by her father for her worrisome test results, and now hearing Huo Qi's cheerful voice downstairs, she really wanted to stab him in the throat with pokers.

"Jiang Niannian, come down quickly." Huo Qi's voice came from downstairs again after many years.

Six years later, his brows and eyes have become tougher, and the smile at the corner of his mouth is like a spring breeze.

Jiang Niannian glanced at the messy sketches on the desk, she stayed up all night at the desk, feeling depressed; for the fact that she couldn't concentrate on drawing, she thought it was because she was too impetuous.

The more anxious you are, the worse you will be.

Let it go in time, maybe the effect will be good.

When the girl turned around to go out, it happened that there was movement at the door of the uncle opposite.

Almost subconsciously, Jiang Niannian immediately closed the half-open door.

She stuck behind the door, her heartbeat followed the uncle's heavy footsteps, step by step, until she heard his footsteps gradually receding, the girl came out of the room.

She brushed her teeth and wiped her face with water.

Liang Yu gets up early to do manual work. She can't find a good job now, so she can only work overtime at home and do some manual work.

When Jiang Niannian went out, she heard her mother muttering on the balcony: "Strange, there was no wind last night, why did my underwear disappear?"

The girl had been scribbling for more than ten minutes. When she went downstairs, Huo Qi threw the scallion pancake to her: "It's really slow."

The girl was walking back and forth in front of the flower bed downstairs with a scallion pancake.

She raised her legs and stood on the edge of the flower bed, poked inside, then squatted down to look for something through the intricate branches.

Huo Qi was a big one, squeezed on a small swing, looking very funny, but he seemed to be having a good time, even though the rope hanging from the swing made a 'clank' protest, he still sat still.

"Did you lose dried beans or small dried fish?" The man glanced at the security window on the balcony on the third floor, and guessed based on the girl's behavior.

"Don't look for it, it must be taken away by the cat."

Jiang Niannian straightened up and didn't plan to look for it anymore. After she ate the scallion pancake, she crumpled it into a plastic bag and threw it in the trash can under the tree.

The girl turned her head and saw the thick dark circles under his eyes. Thinking about it, it was only after five o'clock, and he appeared.

"You haven't slept all night?"

"You haven't slept all night?"

The two spoke in unison, laughing inexplicably.

Stray dogs are circling in the community, crisp birdsong is hidden in the dense leaves, and the white clouds above the head are shimmering.

Huo Qi looked sideways at the girl's pink cheeks, "Jiang Niannian, call brother to listen."

Jiang Niannian glanced at him and continued to swing on the swing.

"Call out brother, I'll settle the tuition for you."

Jiang Niannian stopped suddenly, as if he cared too much about her.

In fact, during dinner last night, Jiang Niannian wanted to ask him if he had been helping her mother in the past six years?
During the six years when she was forcibly taken away, was he helping her mother all the time?
The girl's apricot eyes shone with a broken light, she looked at Huo Qi hazily, she never knew that he did these things.

Child Wang, who fought with her every day when she was a child, suddenly became a warm-hearted brother who has been helping her secretly.

She hasn't come back to this feeling yet.

"Hey~ I'll let you call brother, aren't you going to cry?"

Jiang Niannian turned her head, adjusted her mood, turned to look at him up and down, and smiled lightly: "You change your clothes first."

"Aren't you handsome?" Huo Qi lowered his eyes and admired himself: "Hey, the aunt who sold scallion pancakes just now said that I am the most handsome boy she has ever seen."

"Then come closer, I'll smell it."

"No." The man refused, "You are a pervert."

Jiang Niannian narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly after hearing the word 'abnormal'. She got up, moved like a rabbit, and rushed towards the man: "I have to smell it to see if you smell like a homeless man."

Huo Qi would never let her smell it, because he hadn't showered for two days, and explained while running: "I only have a manly smell on me."

Finally, under Jiang Niannian's strong persuasion, Huo Qi finally agreed to go upstairs to take a bath.

Liang Yu had already gone out to send Liang Chengcheng to school at this time, so there were only the two of them left at home.

Jiang Niannian dug out some old clothes of his father from the bottom of the closet, and when he was about to get close, Huo Qi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hey! Don't come close to me, I'm afraid you will fall in love with my masculinity."

"..."

The girl threw the clothes at him and went into the house.

Seeing her leave, Huo Qi rushed into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, the man put on the fragrant shower gel, made a thick foam, and washed it three times before he came out.

The man changed into white short-sleeved sleeves and floral underpants, and immediately looked several years younger. He found a small razor blade and cleaned off the stubble that hadn't been shaved for two days.

It seems like every man who takes a shower feels like the most handsome guy in the world.

Huo Qi, a homeless man, before taking a bath, and Niu Gulu Huo Qi after washing.

Just when Huo Qi wanted to walk around in front of Jiang Niannian, he saw a lock on the doorknob of the guest room.

The man was puzzled: "What kind of lock is on your guest room?"

"It's inhabited."

"Who lives there?" The man's eyes fell on the copper lock, because it was covered with thick engine oil, so the original color of the copper lock could not be seen clearly.

"An uncle."

"Is it reliable?" Huo Qi looked serious, tried Jiang Niannian's door lock, very disgusted: "Is this also called a lock?"

Then he tried the door lock of Aunt Liang Yu's room, and came out with a look of disgust.

Huo Qi felt that there were only two helpless women in the family, plus a five-year-old milk dumpling, and it was really not safe to live in a strange man directly.

Whether it's reliable or not, Jiang Niannian has only seen it once, and she doesn't know how to say it.

Jiang Niannian came out of the room with a bag of garbage, changed her shoes and stood at the door.

When Huo Qi saw that she was about to go out, the man's scrutinizing eyes stayed on the copper lock of the guest room for a few seconds, and then followed him out.

Huo Qi was wearing white short-sleeved floral pants and men's slippers, and accompanied Jiang Niannian to the stationery store.

Seeing the girl picking out the drawing book, he couldn't hold back and went to it: "According to the extent of your waste, I suggest that you go directly to the wholesale department to get it, which will be more cost-effective."

Jiang Niannian elbowed him on the chest, then took only a sketchbook, paid the bill and left.

"Hey, were you so anxious when you were drawing before?" Huo Qi discovered her problem in just a few days.

"No." The girl's eyes dimmed.

Huo Qi had noticed it long ago, and he asked: "Is there something unspeakable? Tell brother, brother will help you—"

Before the man finished speaking, Jiang Niannian turned around and entered an underwear store.

When Huo Qi saw several sets of exquisite women's underwear displayed in the window of the underwear shop, he immediately stopped and looked away.
