17. One day for brother (17)
Kou Qiu smelled the fragrance in his room. The fragrance was indescribable, but it made him feel unsteady. He left the room and happened to meet a child who came to find him, so he asked casually: "My mother Wang changed to incense?"
Xia Xinji put on his long and black eyelashes and raised his eyes again.
"Yes," he said softly, "the smell in my room has also changed."
When Kou Qiu saw him, he remembered another thing.
"Xiao Ji," he said, "Come here."
Xia Xinji followed him into the room and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"There is a document here," Kou Qiu pulled out the folder from his briefcase and handed it to him, "Look, sign it."
Xia Xinji's dense eyelashes trembled and he opened the document.
It was a property transfer statement. Kou Qiu transferred all the shares and real estate under his name to his name.
Xia Xinji didn't sign, just asked: "What does brother mean?"
Mr. Kou said: "I plan to serve the people wholeheartedly."
The child put down the pen, clearly not cooperating.
Kou Qiu started to have a headache, hesitated for a while, and then said, "This is what you deserve."
——He is not a member of the Xia family. The one who has no blood relationship with this family was originally himself. The real heir should have been Xia Xinji from the beginning. It was just because he was attached to his family affection with Mr. Xia that Kou Qiu stayed in this house for two years.
Xia Xinji is not his younger brother, nor is he Xia Xinji's older brother. Both of them know it clearly, but no one has exposed it.
Now, Kou Qiu can rest assured to return the Xia family to his children.
Xia Xinji looked at the expression on his face and suddenly understood. He pursed his lips and said, "Do you want to leave the Xia family directly?"
——Leave me?
Kou Qiu smiled bitterly and directly poked the thin layer of window paper, "Xiao Ji, you know that we are not brothers."
This is the first time they have talked about this issue directly. No matter how much Kou Qiu treats the child as his cub, he must admit that there is no blood ties between Xia Xinji and him.
The child pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I have moved out of the household registration," Kou Qiu said softly, "Xiao Ji has been in the company before and has done a great job. Grandpa would be very happy if he knew that you had taken over the company completely."
He stretched out his hand and touched the head of the boy he had loved for so long.
"Even if my brother is no longer your brother, I will still come to see you," Kou Qiu said, "I promise."
The child looked at him with an unpredictable expression: "Where is that brother?"
"Me?" Kou Qiu said, "I will devote myself to the great cause of serving the people for life."
Xia Xinji asked: "Where are you going to live?"
Kou Qiu also considered this in advance and immediately answered: "I have already taken a fancy to a house near my work location and talked with the agent. I can rent there for a few months. In a few months..."
He hesitated for a while, considering the actual salary of civil servants and the rising housing prices in the n-city market, he said sadly: "I might find another house nearby and continue to rent it."
The system boy said: [I'm just about to cry. So if we can't afford a house, can we just live in someone else's house temporarily?]
Old Cadre Kou: [...... well.]
The system fell into a long silence. Kou Qiu comforted it: [Self-reliance, hard work.]
Really quite enlightened.
Xia Xinji looked at him for a while, then slowly took the pen in his hand and asked inadvertently: "Will you be ready to live alone?"
Kou Qiu almost said no, I still have a systemic bastard. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and he said something smoothly and went around again: "...yes."
There was a clear hesitation before his words, and Xia Xinji's eyes suddenly seemed to have a surging sea. He clenched his fists, and the ring in his palm seemed to be a sudden thorn, piercing into his heart.
His mind was slowly dragged into the chaos by an unknown big hand. The more Kou Qiu smelled the fragrance, the more he felt dizzy. He pressed his fingers into his temples tiredly. Before he could say anything, the child beside him could see that something was wrong. He put down the papers, stepped forward and helped his arms up, and whispered: "Is brother sleepy?"
He had no extra brain capacity to think more, so he could only barely say a word, his legs suddenly became weak, and almost fell into the arms of the people behind him. The system also became dizzy inexplicably and could not say a word.
Xia Xinji supported him and slowly lay on the bed.
He looked down at the man for a long time, and finally, he took off his dark striped tie from Kou Qiu's neck and slowly covered his eyes.
"I don't want to listen to you."
The caressed fingers can still feel the long trembling eyelashes through the tie.
"I don't want to look at your eyes either."
He whispered: "Brother--you will like a new life."
"--I promise."
At the same time, someone knocked on the door outside. The person who came in was wearing a doctor's white coat, looking smart and capable, and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Xia, can you start?"
Xia Xinji turned sideways and gave him some seat.
"Well," he said, "get it."
Kou Qiu didn't sleep well that night. He seemed to have fallen into the turbulent ocean, and he was drifting with the waves. His eyes were so sleepy that they could not open. In the hazy, some cold touch touched his ankles, and then the pleasant sound of a bell came, which reminded him of the wind chime hanging by the window.
"Ding...Ding...Ding...Ding...Ding..."
The touch spread from the ankles to the calves, with some force, slowly rubbing the calves. Rather than touching, it was better to bite them bite them with the idea of swallowing him into the abdomen, and the pain came up densely from the skin. He hummed, and the force suddenly became lighter and returned to the stroking of neither light nor heavy.
Consciousness slowly returns.
Kou Qiu hummed in a low voice, feeling a little uncomfortable in this posture. He opened his eyes, and was still a little confused, and he met a pair of dark eyes that looked like midnight. Those eyes were used to him, and the owner of the eyes was also very familiar to him.
These beautiful and incredible eyes looked at him, and then they suddenly bent as if they were filled with endless pleasure. He was holding a thin anklet in his hand and playing with it between his fingers.
"Brother," he said softly, "wake up?"
Kou Qiu nodded, and then heard the crisp sound of the bell. The sound was so close that he looked down and then saw the source of the sound on his ankle.
The chain reached his ankle and circled a thin circle. Two or three silver bells were hanging on his head, shaking with his unconscious movements, making a sound he heard in half dreams and half awake.
Kou Qiu was rarely a little confused.
His thinking seemed to have not been fully awake, so he could not understand what the situation was like in front of him - but the child's expression was extremely normal, with a hint of shyness. He looked up at him and then lowered his head quickly. He pulled one end of the anklet and jingled the bell.
"Brother," he suddenly changed the more coquettish title. This title has almost never been used after he went to college. "Do you like the gift I gave you?"
"What is it," said Kou Qiu, "this ankle?"
He reached out to cover his head, feeling his temples sucking and slightly, as if something had been peeled off and thrown away.
[Azai.] He called out in his heart, [Azai?]
There is no response in my mind.
Kou Qiu vaguely realized something was wrong, but his head was dizzy and could not even take out a trace of extra strength to think about something. Xia Xinji looked very normal and said, "Brother suddenly fainted just now, which scared me."
Kou Qiu was still covering his head. The child paused, covered his hands thoughtfully, and rubbed his temples for him. On the table next to him were pills and warm water, which had been divided according to the dosage he had to take every day.
Kou Qiu took two tablets of headache medicine and gradually felt that his spirit was recovering a little.
"You haven't gone to class yet?" He urged Xia Xinji and glanced at the time, "I remember you had a class this afternoon."
Xia Xinji remained motionless and said, "I'm worried about my brother."
"What are I worried about?" Kou Qiu pushed him and said righteously, "Go quickly, good students cannot skip classes, study hard, and improve every day!"
Xia Xinji obviously had no choice but to turn around and slowly leave the door. He had already walked out, and turned back and lie on the door and exposed his head, reminding him: "That's the gift I've saved for several months to buy for my brother. I can't take it down."
Kou Qiu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the ankle on his ankle and couldn't help but laugh.
"I got it," he waved his hand, "Go. Brother will pick you up after school in the afternoon."
Xia Xinji turned around three times and left reluctantly.
Kou Qiu heard the system sound again after a long time.
The mechanical sound of the system sounds much weaker than usual, saying: [Ba dad?]
[Hey,] Old Cadre Kou responded, [Why did you have no sound just now?]
The system in the brain stopped talking again.
After a while, it said: [Bad, do you still remember who the task is?]
Kou Qiu was stunned and then couldn't help but laugh.
[Are you confused when you sleep?] He said, [Of course I remember that the task object is...that is...]
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed his fingers on his temples. The bells on his ankles rang, and the memories in his mind seemed to be blurred with the sound of the bell.
——Who is here?
The name was clearly right next to his mouth, but he couldn't spit it out anyway, and even his appearance turned into a vague shadow. He could not recognize his height, shortness, fatness and thinness, and only a dark phantom was left in his mind.
The system said: [I don't remember it either.]
This is not supposed to be.
They came to this world to complete the task; but how did they forget all the tasks halfway through the task?!
What's more, the system is not an existence in this world, so how can it be affected?
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with confusion.
Chapter completed!
