Ode to joy

Chapter 28

Singularity woke up early in the morning, thinking it was early, so he called Andy who had eaten a black film to provide wake-up service, but it rang again and no one answered.Singularity thought that Andy had unplugged the phone again, so he went out and knocked on the door.But after knocking for a long time, there was no sound at all inside. Singularity panicked, and he immediately thought of Andy's abnormality on Thursday night.He caught a floor attendant who happened to be pushing a cart to make a room, and told him to open the door quickly.After negotiating several tricks, taking out the room card and ID card to check thoroughly, and under the supervision of security, the floor attendant was ordered to open the door.However, Qidian rushed in and saw that the room was neat and tidy, and the bed was also neat and tidy, but there was no one there.Both the security guard and the waiter said that the guests might have gone out, but Singularity disagreed, and Andy was afraid of listening to the local accent, so how could he go out early in the morning to ask for trouble.He asked to see the corridor video.

While negotiating, Andy's voice came from the door, "Hey, is this my room? What's going on?"

Singularity looked back and saw that it was Andy. He couldn't help but let out a big sigh, "Where have you been?" Then he quickly thanked and apologized to the waiter and security guard.But I couldn't help it, and when Andy gave the tip, I asked again: "Where have you been?"

Andy wanted to make fun of it, but seeing the anxiety on Singularity's face, he was very moved, "I went to strengthen my psychological construction. I went out an hour ago, walked around, bought a cup of soy milk and drank it." She said and followed She thanked the waiter and the security guard, and sent her out the door graciously. She kind of guessed what was going on in her heart.But when she turned around, she pointed out, "You said you would never step into my room."

"I wanted to ask you how you feel, but since you can beat back, you can see that you are in good condition." Singularity felt embarrassed for his mobilization just now, but when he passed by Andy, he still couldn't help but stop and carefully identify Andy's expression , just "hum", turned and went out.

"Singularity...thank you."

"Another relic was burned."

Andy smiles.Later, the two made an appointment to have breakfast, and she told Singularity in detail that the reason for her return to China was her younger brother. She couldn't believe that she found him so easily.Qidian said: "Old Tan used your younger brother to invite you back to the country to help, but he still spared no effort to find his younger brother for you. He didn't play tricks on time. This man is upright and can burn relics. I picked up your younger brother today and sent it to After the nursing home with a good environment, you plan to pack it up and go back to the United States?"

"Am I very cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"I won't excuse you."

Andy froze for a moment, seeing that Qidian ate a big meal and ignored her, he was a little confused, so he had nothing to say, "I just went out for a walk and had a small argument with someone in the local dialect. I walked well, a middle-aged The woman bumped into her and accused me of blocking her way to walk the dog. When I opened my mouth, her face turned gray and black. Do you know why? I opened my mouth to swear by the local people, and she was no match. I grew up You can hang out on the street, and you can stand on the top of the hill in the orphanage."

"You go back to the United States, if someone bullies me in the future, who will help me out?"

Andy originally wanted to step on herself hard, but she didn't expect that if he didn't accept the move, she had nothing to do.Seeing that Singularity ignored her, she was upset again. "Okay, I admit my mistake, I shouldn't have informed you when I returned to China, alas..."

Singularity could only look at Andy dumbfounded, but instead spoke words of relief, "Do as you feel comfortable. But at least one thing I said was right last night. It doesn't matter if you cursed in dialect this morning, which means you are more You can carry it in your imagination. So you don’t have to rush to escape the familiar environment and go to the United States. The chaos in the country is better than the chaos. It’s fun and exciting, isn’t it? I hope you don’t leave. I also advise you for Lao Tan, don’t let the good Friends disappointed."

Andy thought a lot, until she got into the car and heard Singularity remind her to put on her seat belt, all her insistence collapsed.She took out her mobile phone and called Tan Zongming, straight to the point, "Old Tan, I will start to build a new department on Monday, and do what I do best."

Tan Zongming asked carefully: "Have you met your brother? Didn't Lao Yan make arrangements?"

"I haven't seen it yet. Whether you see it or not, it's just decided." She couldn't help looking at Singularity, seeing Singularity smiling, she was also happy in her heart, "It's just that you have to go back to Haishi today for the early stage. Quick fix. Sorry about your new girlfriend."

When Qidian heard this, he couldn't help but think of the way Tan Zongming looked at her on Thursday night.All men understand what that look means.He had to wait patiently for Andy to finish the phone call before rushing to ask: "Does Lao Tan have a girlfriend?"

Andy couldn't turn his head around for a while, "Old Tan has a girlfriend? Oh, he, when I first met him, his mantra was too little money and too many beauties; when he started to do well, his mantra changed There is too little time for success and too many beauties; the current mantra is that life is too short and there are too many beauties. But he has a sense of proportion, never delaying work for pleasure. He even turns his rivals into comrades in arms."

"Are you used to it? Don't you live a very rigorous life?"

"Aren't you all like this? You often go online at one or two o'clock in the morning to chat with me in the United States at that time. Don't tell me that you only watch movies, eat popcorn, chat online, read books and drink until one or two o'clock. Tea."

"It's over, one of the relics is missing. But I am different now, do you think it was normal yesterday? From now on, I will only play with you as I will do with you."

Andy couldn't help laughing again, she laughed very low when she was with Singularity.Talking and laughing, we came to the simple old people's home together, and the mood went smoothly along the way.She somehow thanked the Singularity.

The scale of the nursing home is small. There is a small yard at the entrance. The sun is very good. Many old people are basking in the sun in the yard, and there is a strong smell of the elderly floating in the yard.The old man who couldn't move looked indifferent, and those who could move focused their eyes on the new stranger.Most of the old people are deaf, and when they whisper to each other, they think they are whispering, but in fact they are so loud that they can be heard through the partition wall.Andy could understand what they were talking about. They talked about someone coming to pick up Xiao Ming, and Xiuyuan was going to cry to death.Andy doesn't know who Xiuyuan is, but he guesses Xiaoming is her younger brother.As soon as Yan Luming, who came here first, came out of the house, Andy softly asked who Xiuyuan was, and it turned out that she was the director of the nursing home in this town.

Walking into the dean's office, which is similar to a utility room, Andy saw a handsome young man at a glance.The boy looks gentle, especially the clothes, although a little ill-fitting and old, are clean without any stains.The boy bowed his head and ignored no one, just counting his fingers one, two, three, four. Andy felt that the boy was very strange, and he didn't want to get close to him, so he stood tightly against the wall.She had thought that she would see a messy lunatic, just like the mother in her memory, she thought that when meeting her brother, someone had to control his hands and feet, and even his mouth, but she never thought that his brother was so quiet, so quiet... ...as quiet as a virgin.

Until the loud voice of the dean Xiuyuan said loudly: "Xiao Ming, your sister is here to pick you up, call me sister."

While speaking, he stretched out his finger to show Xiao Ming who is the elder sister.Xiao Ming raised his head hesitantly, but just glanced at Andy carelessly, then lowered his head and counted his fingers to play.Xiuyuan was anxious, and reached out her hand to greet Andy: "Come here, our Xiao Ming is not dirty, don't hide, you come over and hold hands with Xiao Ming. Our Xiao Ming is good, you are still afraid of him as a sister?"

Andy hurried over obediently, trying to hold Xiao Ming's hand, but Xiao Ming seemed to see a plague god, and hid behind Xiuyuan before it was too late.Xiuyuan quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is your sister, not someone else."

"The second wife said she would take me away, but I won't go." Xiao Ming finally spoke, his words were a little slow, but his articulate words were clear, "I won't go, I won't go, I won't go."

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Ming, your sister will take you to live a good life, sweet..." Ke Xiuyuan hugged Xiao Ming to comfort her, and finally couldn't help bursting out, "Miss, you look like you are having a good life , let me ask you, why did you throw away Xiao Ming in the early years? Tigers don’t eat their own sons, you are willing to throw away your own son, what happened to our Xiao Ming? What’s wrong, you say. I really don’t trust him to be taken away by you , since Xiao Ming is also afraid of you, I simply put the word here, the point, your sinful father and mother will come to collect it themselves, and make a good apology to our Xiao Ming, and promise me that I will never throw Xiao Ming again, and I will let it go. Otherwise, who knows You get it today and throw it away tomorrow, I don’t believe you, don’t tell me the same DN or something, I don’t recognize it.” Xiuyuan said while stroking Xiao Ming’s scalp neatly, so don’t worry.

"Our parents are dead, and I also grew up in an orphanage. I'm sorry, I just found Xiao Ming, and I have caused you so many years of trouble."

"Ah..." Dean Xiuyuan looked at Andy, looked at Xiao Ming, and then took the initiative to take Xiao Ming's hand and handed it to Andy, "I wronged you, alas, you are also a poor person, you take Xiao Ming away Well, seeing how you're looking for him, you shouldn't treat Xiao Ming badly."

But Xiao Ming only touched Andy's hand, then flinched, and hid behind Dean Xiuyuan.Xiuyuan apologized and said that the child was spoiled by her, and she was afraid of giving birth.But Andy understood: "I understand that when I was in the orphanage, I was afraid of being taken away. Compared with the outside, the courtyard is the safest. Xiao Ming...is even more afraid." Even if Xiuyuan is anxious, she can only talk about local Andy still insists on speaking Mandarin, lest he will mess up when he speaks the local dialect.

"Oh, you are very sensible just like Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming, come and listen to memorize the formulas." Xiao Ming was very eloquent when reciting the multiplication formulas. Like, well-behaved, sensible, smart, and even speak alike. Well, after all, they are siblings, carved out of the same mold."

Andy listened and had to take a sip of the mineral water he brought with him.After Xiuyuan finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Ming recited the multiplication formulas word by word, she couldn't help but think of the older children who went to elementary school with her back then. Acting in front, just like Xiao Ming now.It is really carved out of a mold.By the way, she also hid behind her aunt back then and recited formulas, so she didn't dare to meet outsiders.

She can only force herself to drink more water.

Qidian was trying to persuade Andy to go somewhere else to breathe a sigh of relief, Xiuyuan sighed: "Whoever you are, go and open the car door, you all go hide outside for a while, and I will get Xiaoming into the car for you."

But Andy stared at Xiao Ming who was hiding behind Xiuyuan in panic, as if he saw himself in the orphanage, yes, it was himself in the mirror.She wanted to say something, but her chest was tight and she didn't answer. She turned around and strode out the door. She walked through the yard and walked outside the gate before breathing heavily.After a while, the singularity came out, she stared blankly at the singularity, and after a while she was able to speak normally, she looked at the singularity flatteringly, and said flatteringly: "If something happens to me one day, it would be great if I can be as quiet as Xiao Ming. Okay Now, we are very similar, very similar, I will be quiet and not be annoying."

Singularity didn't speak, and naturally reached out to offer Andy a hug, but unexpectedly, this violated Andy's big taboo.Andy almost ran away with a yell, rushed into Singularity's car like flying, locked himself tightly, and locked the four doors.Singularity didn't know what was going on, and walked over to explain, but Andy covered his face and didn't look at him, and of course he couldn't hear what he was saying.Singularity could only look at Yan Luming who came out in a daze, neither of them knew what was going on.At this time, Singularity thought of Andy's entrustment last night. If she was emotionally unstable, he would make a decision.But Singularity thought of Andy, who was more unstable on Thursday night, and he decided to take the time to wait for Andy to regain his composure.

After a while, Singularity and Yan Luming finally saw Andy began to drink water.After a while, Andy stopped drinking the water.

After waiting for a long time, Andy stepped out of the car door.But it was sweat all over his head and face.Xiuyuan came out and saw it, and asked quickly, "What's the matter? Don't be sad, I haven't seen you since childhood, and it's reasonable for Xiao Ming not to recognize it..."

Singularity hurriedly said: "Andy's body is not quite right."

Andy said: "I'm fine. Dean, my younger brother will be entrusted to you. I won't take it away. He is fine with you. As long as he is well, I can rest assured. I will send money every month in the future. Please help me He buys food and clothes."

Xiuyuan was stunned instead, "Although the child eats and lives with me as soon as he comes, but you are his sister..."

"I'm not in good health, and I'm short-lived." Andy gritted his teeth and made up a lie, "Xiao Ming is better with you than with me. I'm relieved to see you today. I'll set up a fund later and remit money to the hospital on time every month. Long, even if I fail, I will still execute it until Xiao Ming passes away. Please help take care of Xiao Ming.” She bowed deeply, got into the car first, took out three bundles of 3 yuan in total, and handed it to Xiu Yuan. "This is my advance payment to Xiao Ming for three months. Dean, this is for you personally. Please raise Xiao Ming as your own child. Dean, please promise me."

The dean looked at Andy, at Xiao Ming, then at the three bundles of money in front of him, and finally pushed the money back. "I will take care of Xiao Ming. I took care of him before you came, and never treated him badly. This is too much money, you just need to save thousands of dollars to buy clothes and snacks for Xiao Ming."

"You take it, Xiao Ming will rely on you in the future. This little money is not enough for you to spend on Xiao Ming."

After Dean Xiuyuan finally accepted, Andy stood and looked at his brother from a distance for a while, and then left.Yan Luming got into his own car, while Andy sat next to Qidian, and the two cars set off on the road separately.

Qi Dian was also very annoyed, but he would find nothing to say, "You were right to leave your brother in the nursing home. It can be seen that Xiao Ming and Xiu Yuan have a very good relationship. If you go with you, you will be sent to a nursing home, so there may be no one." Take good care of your brother, the most important thing is that your brother may not adapt."

Andy replied blankly: "The main reason is that I have no relationship with him by blood."

"Yes. I also think it's right for you to keep 50 yuan instead of giving all 50 yuan to Xiuyuan. Give it month by month, and it's quite generous. It's better for your brother. On the contrary, if Your younger brother left with you today, but you can generously give all [-]. People have a lot of desires, and not testing people's desires is the correct way to do things. So you are very rational."

"Sanity that needs to be defended is fragile. The truth is I'm having another seizure."

"It's not a seizure, okay? Never say that. You just managed to scare yourself to death again, that's all. Does the seizure recover so quickly, can it repair itself? Aren't you very smart and knowledgeable, are you rational Think carefully about whether this is a seizure."

"Even if I didn't have a seizure, I would lose face in front of you. Sigh..."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Ugh."

After that, Andy didn't answer what Singularity said, and pretended to be tired and fell asleep.She made up her mind to stay away from the singularity.

What is more difficult for her to bear is to have an attack in front of the singularity.

The car moved forward dully.Singularity didn't find a topic anymore, and he also needed to be quiet.It happened that there was a car that was always shaking him with its headlights in broad daylight, forcing it to overtake from time to time, Qi became very angry, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with a dark face.Andy opened his eyes to check the speed. He was not 50% over the speed limit, but he had already left many cars behind.Looking back at the car behind him, he immediately recognized the divine car BMW M3, and then turned his head to look at Singularity with a terribly serious expression.She simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep nervously.

After driving for a while, Singularity no longer responded to the provocation of the car behind, and turned into the service area.Andy opened his eyes and saw Singularity lying on the steering wheel like a Shar Pei, but turned his face and looked at her silently.She had no choice but to say, "I'm not hungry." Singularity didn't answer, just pointed his mouth in one direction, and Andy looked in the direction, it was the bathroom, couldn't help blushing, and jumped out quickly.Indeed, she drank so much water in the nursing home.Singularity is really scary. Since it is so detailed, he will see more of what happened to her just now.Andy felt that she was transparent in front of the singularity, as if she had been stripped naked, and she had no confidence.

When she came out, she saw Singularity standing on the only way to smoke, watching her approaching, her eyes were warm and soft, like the late autumn sun above her head, which made Andy unable to harden. "There is a treat. It is said that there are good hairy crabs in this service area. I am hungry too, how about you?"
