    Chapter 30 Chapter 30

    ===========================

    “My mother calls me Mingxiao, my brother calls me Xiaoran, my name is…”

    Lu Xiaoyun’s hands were very cold, and when she pressed them against his face, he immediately shivered with cold.The woman pinched his cheek and then pinched his mouth, leaving him speechless and only tears welling up in his eyes.

    “Your name is Xu Qiaochuan, you are my child, and I am the mother… forget all that.” Lu Xiaoyun wanted him to remember it deeply, so her teachings were mixed with pain.

    Lu Xiaoyun thought he had forgotten everything. Even if he had not forgotten everything, it would be so painful that he would never dare to think about it again.Her job was not going well, her marriage was failing, and she seemed to have only had a little success in this one thing.Every time Xu Qiaochuan remembered it, he would feel pain subconsciously. The pain almost made him suffocate, and he never dared to think or mention that Xu Qiaochuan was finally just Xu Qiaochuan.

    He almost didn’t eat lunch, and Xu Qiaochuan vomited until his mouth was sour but nothing came out.He was dizzy after vomiting and splashed cold water on his face before regaining consciousness. He squatted on the ground, feeling a dull pain in the wounds on his waist and abdomen, but he completely ignored it.

    The phone was bruised and bruised just like him. The screen was cracked several times and stained with water, making it difficult to see clearly.Xu Qiaochuan wiped it with his clothes, and the water stain suddenly became thin and dense. The image was still hazy. He typed a name in the search box tremblingly.

    Those text messages were like water stains. Xu Qiaochuan actually didn’t know what he wanted to see. Sometimes there was nothing in front of him, and he was still sliding down the machine.

    He finally found a photo in the torrent of countless words, hanging on the home page of the family-finding website. The text below said that the child disappeared when he was five years old, and his name was Xie Mingxiao.The photo looked familiar, but he couldn’t think of anything related to it when he thought about having a headache.

    Xu Qiaochuan forgot something very serious. Someone said something to him.The man’s voice made him sick, and what the man said frightened him.What is it?What did Xu Jian say to him?

    There are many numbers in the blacklist, Xu Jian’s, Xu Jian’s friends’, Xu Jian’s borrowed… These numbers have sent him countless text messages and made countless calls.Ignoring the insulting words on the screen, Xu Qiaochuan found the latest ones.

    The strokes of the characters were very distorted. He seemed to recognize them, but he seemed not to be able to distinguish them at all.All the messy things swarmed into his mind, and he shook his head, still feeling dizzy.

    He stared at the mobile phone on the ground without blinking. This gadget had been dropped and now it was soaked in water. It was broken quickly.Xu Qiaochuan poked at the broken screen, but it never lit up again.

    Chen Zongqian tried his best to finally open the door. When he entered, he saw Xu Qiaochuan huddled in the corner of the bathroom, as if asleep.

    “Xiaoqiao?” Chen Zongqian shouted. The man’s shoulders moved slightly, but he didn’t intend to get up.There was water on his clothes, so he wasn’t afraid of catching cold.Chen Zongqian wanted to pick him up, but his hand was opened as soon as he passed over.

    “I’m the older brother.”

    Xu Qiaochuan raised his head slightly and saw someone kneeling down to talk to him.The word “brother” was as terrifying as Xie Mingxiao’s. His stomach began to twitch again, and he felt extremely panicked, but Chen Zongqian had already held his face and controlled him from lowering his head.

    “Do you… think… that I…” am easy to bully?Xu Qiaochuan’s speech was slow and he couldn’t say anything clearly.

    Chen Zongqian opened his mouth and looked at him with a frown: “Xiaoqiao, that’s not what you said.”

    When someone opened his mouth, Chen Zongqian didn’t want him to bite off his tongue in his confused state, so he stuck his fingers in.The human mouth is warm and moist, and it is a place of privacy. The two hardest and softest things in the human body are hidden in this small place.

    When a person is about 6 years old, deciduous teeth fall out and permanent teeth begin to grow.Xu Qiaochuan’s teeth were very beautiful, neat, white and lovely. Chen Zongqian brushed his fingers and touched the sharpest one.He exerted slight force with his hand, and for a moment he wanted the tooth to pierce his finger.

    It’s all wrong. Xu Qiaochuan grew like this in a place where he couldn’t see, with teeth and bones. Would he still call him brother if he felt pain while growing?

    Chen Zongqian explored three fingers, and Xu Qiaochuan’s mouth was so full that he could not completely close it.The strength in his teeth relaxed, allowing Chen Zongqian to regain control of his tongue and voice.

    The tongue was very soft, so Chen Zongqian pressed the surface of his tongue all the way to the base.Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t get away, so he could only raise his head and let others manipulate him. The finger almost stuck into his throat, which made his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.

    “This is how to silence your voice.” Chen Zongqian pressed his finger against the roof of his mouth, making Xu Qiaochuan unable to make any more sound.

    The other hand pinched his neck and rubbed his Adam’s apple repeatedly.The fingers in Xu Qiaochuan’s mouth have been removed, but he still can’t close his mouth.

    “Look at me, look at me, I am brother, what should you call me?” Chen Zongqian called him back to his senses over and over again. His pupils trembled slightly, and it took him a while to focus, and his eyes fell on him.Xu Qiaochuan blinked and looked at Chen Zongqian seriously.

    “Brother?” This soft-sounding syllable was extremely easy to pronounce. Xu Qiaochuan had just had his tongue stroked, and the words were vague and slow. His voice sounded hesitant, but his tears were flowing decisively.

    Chen Zongqian was aroused by the warm water vapor and brought the person closer to him: “Yes, it’s brother.”

    There was no need to think or understand what this meant, Xu Qiaochuan obeyed it very obediently.He relaxed in Chen Zongqian’s hand, gradually felt sleepy, and fell asleep against Chen Zongqian’s palm.

    Xu Qiaochuan didn’t sleep for long as he was moved around in his arms and his posture was uncomfortable.When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Zongqian untying his clothes. Not knowing what he was thinking, Xu Qiaochuan reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist.

    “What…” The vague voice stunned Xu Qiaochuan.

    “The clothes are wet.” Chen Zongqian stripped him naked and checked the wounds on his body again to make sure there were no tears before taking a new set of clothes from the paper bag. “Are you going to wear it yourself or should I help you? Just nod.”

    Xu Qiaochuan nodded, but he didn’t know which choice to make.Chen Zongqian rubbed his head and took the initiative to put a thin sweater on him and smooth out the wrinkles.

    “What?” Xu Qiaochuan looked at him with squinted eyes, looking dazed and detached, as if he had forgotten all the sad things just now.Xu Qiaochuan’s hair was very soft, and Chen Zongqian couldn’t help but touch it again.

    That hand was grabbed by Xu Qiaochuan, and Chen Zongqian opened his palm and let him write – when can I leave?

    The palms of my hands are itchy, and I can tell what the words are without looking.Xu Qiaochuan raised his head and glanced at himself, then continued writing – he didn’t want to be in the hospital anymore.

    “Are you really well?” Chen Zongqian put his palms together and caught the person easily.

    Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t understand himself, he only knew that it would never be good if he stayed any longer.

    There was no answer from his mouth, but those eyes seemed to be saying to Chen Zongqian: “Take me away quickly.”

    He should be fine, at least the doctor said there is nothing major wrong with his brain. If the bones and wounds are taken care of carefully, he will get better over time.There was a slight deviation from the original discharge time. When Xu Qiaochuan walked out of the hospital, he felt like he was in another world.

    Someone was selling balloons at the door. Xu Qiaochuan glanced at them and was mistaken for wanting them.The balloon seller enthusiastically showed him various balloons and then showed the QR code hanging around his neck.Xu Qiaochuan waved his hand indifferently and refused. He turned around and caught a glimpse of a smile that had not yet escaped, and he rushed into his eyes.

    “Let’s go.” Chen Zongqian pursed his lips and said seriously.

    Xu Qiaochuan looked at the changes in the surrounding scenery and found that the road was not the one going to the industrial zone.When he was uneasy, he would pinch his fingers, knowing that his emotions could not be hidden in his eyes, so he would always lower his eyebrows and lower his eyes habitually, so as to restrain everything.

    “That house is no longer habitable.” The balcony was completely destroyed, and anyone could jump into the house through the huge gap.Chen Zongqian no longer wanted to worry about what Xu Jian and Wang Jian had done. He could only feel at ease by keeping it under his nose. “Xiaoqiao, you have to live with me next.”

    Xu Qiaochuan buried his head in his arms and remained still, pretending to be asleep until the car stopped.He heard everything clearly and knew that Chen Zongqian was not discussing, but announcing a decision.

    Looking at Chen Zongqian from the mirror of the car window, his gaze is secretive and quiet, like some kind of cold-blooded animal secretly peeping.How could there be such an arrogant person?Xu Qiaochuan thought that Chen Zongqian would definitely regret it.
