"Why are you sitting here alone?"
After returning from Hong Kong Island, everyone's life quickly returned to the normal track. Everyone had their own studies and work. However, the relationship between Li Yong, Sanli and Simei became more and more awkward.
Anyway, wherever Sanli is now, there will be four beauties, and wherever Sanli is, there will be four beauties. In short, Li Yong will not be given the opportunity to meet any of them alone.
But for Li Yong, this is not unacceptable. After all, after so many worlds, his patience has definitely been tempered.
And in this tug-of-war, he would definitely not be the first to sit still.
That night, because of Qiqi's sudden idea, Qiao Yicheng came back, so Li Yong accompanied them to have a hot pot meal.
After they had finished drinking and eating, Simei and Qiqi went back to their rooms to do homework or rest. Sanli also went back to read a book. Li Yong came out and saw Qiao Yicheng sitting alone in the yard looking at the sky. He saw his expression A little confused, as if he was stuck in a certain problem and couldn't extricate himself, so he simply moved a stool and sat down next to him.
Speaking of which, among the children of the Qiao family, the one Li Yong helped the least was Qiao Yicheng.
He almost never took the initiative to interfere in Qiao Yicheng's life choices, whether it was college entrance examination, university, graduate school or subsequent job choices. Even if he was provided with an opportunity to study in Jiangsu Province, it was up to him how to use it in the end.
But from another perspective, because of the help, education and guidance given to the other four children, it greatly shared the burden of Qiao Yicheng, the eldest brother and father. It can also be said that Li Yong was the one who helped the most.
"Why, what are you looking at the sky and thinking about? I don't think you should study Chinese and media. You should study astronomy, which will allow you to see more stars."
Qiao Yicheng came back to his senses, looked at Li Yong and smiled bitterly: "Stop teasing me, I..." He thought of something, finally sighed and shook his head, but did not continue.
But even if he didn't say it, Li Yong could actually guess a little.
Compared to the other four children, he has more feelings about Qiao Zuwang, so even now that he has been back for a while, he still can't let it go completely.
On the contrary, after leaving, because I knew what Qiao Zuwang was going to do next, I was a little worried about him.
The main reason is that this child hides things in his heart, always thinks too much, and always likes to take some responsibilities on himself, especially when it comes to his family.
Even if Qiao Zuwang's father is not a qualified father at all, for Qiao Yicheng, he can still make up for some of the family's shortcomings.
After all, his mother was gone, and his longed-for second uncle was also gone. The nearest elder relative in his heart became Qiao Zuwang.
It's not that he is the tallest among the short ones, but he is the only one left.
"If it's about Qiao Zuwang, then I can only tell you that it's not worth it."
Qiao Yicheng was slightly startled, but it was not surprising that Li Yong was able to put it straight.
He took out a cigarette from his breast pocket and then felt in his trouser pocket.
Li Yong took out a lighter and lit it for him. He took a puff and then said: "There are some things that I know how to think about, but it's still difficult to do them."
"Actually, it's nothing more than that I haven't felt his badness for many years, but instead I started to think about his goodness. But in fact, don't you know who he is?"
Qiao Yicheng paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yeah, actually I should have thought of it a long time ago..."
Seeing him blowing out another smoke ring and looking at the starry sky looking very melancholy, Li Yong patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Actually, as long as you can relax your mind, I'm afraid that you will also get into trouble. In fact, , For example, apart from providing you with a place to live earlier, what other obligations did Qiao Zuwang fulfill as a father?
"If you really want to say that what he has given, even to the extreme, it can be said to be the legacy left by your mother. So apart from his status as your father, he can be said to have no relationship with you.
"I think the relationship we get together day and night should be greater than the blood connection, what do you think?"
Qiao Yicheng smiled bitterly, "I understand this too...but it probably won't happen in the future."
Li Yong nodded. Relationships need to go in both directions. Of course, if he pays, he also hopes that the other party will respond.
Now it seems that Qiao Zuwang doesn't think about these children at all. If he hadn't encountered difficulties this time, he wouldn't even think about them at all.
Originally, Qiao Yicheng's love for Qiao Zuwang was only because time had passed and his memory had softened, so he had some thoughts about his so-called father. This was just a bubble, and it would disappear immediately after it was popped.
So apart from making him a little melancholy, it didn't stay in his heart for too long.
Now the ones who can really hurt him and affect his mood swings are his younger brothers and sisters, and of course Li Yong too.
To him, Qiao Zuwang's existence was not as close as Li Yong's.
Even though their two brothers can shoulder the burden of the family, Li Yong seems to be becoming more and more an indispensable part of the family.
"Thank you, Brother Yong."
Li Yong punched his chest and said with a smile, "Why are you being polite to me?"
Qiao Yicheng covered his chest and laughed, feeling suddenly enlightened.
In fact, it is not difficult to figure it out. He also understands this truth in his heart.
It's just that sometimes when you make up your mind, you need someone to step on the accelerator.
But immediately he thought of something, stared at Li Yong and asked: "Um, have you and Sanli..."
Li Yong was not surprised. Although Qiao Yicheng was not married yet, the pressure on his shoulders was not so great because of the changes he had experienced, and he was naturally able to focus on his own problems.
As far as Li Yong knew, he had a relationship when he was in college, and he also had a taste of the relationship between men and women. Now on the TV station, he seems to have fallen in love with a girl, but he hasn't confessed her love yet.
So Li Yong was non-committal. After all, if he talked too much at this time, it would not look good if Simei's story also came out.
He directly turned to the other party's personal issues, "You should also get a girlfriend and think about your own life events. As the eldest brother, you should also set an example for your younger brothers and sisters."
Qiao Erqiang is an exception, it just happened to be fate.
But if, as the eldest son of the family, he is still alone when Sanli and Simei get married and start a business, it will not look good.
The neighbors might even say that the younger brothers and sisters only care about themselves and don't know how to help the eldest brother look for him.
After all, these days, many ideas are still relatively traditional.
A figure flashed in Qiao Yicheng's mind. He was silent for a moment, and he didn't know if he was stimulated. He nodded immediately and said: "When I go to work tomorrow, I will go find her!"
…
"What did you talk about with eldest brother?"
When Li Yong was about to leave, Sanli naturally wanted to come and see him off.
Hearing the girl's words, he smiled and said: "I told him that if he, the eldest brother, doesn't find a girlfriend and get married early, you younger brothers and sisters will be embarrassed to get married again."
This topic suddenly made Sanli a little unable to bear it. After all, her heart had long been completely focused on Li Yong. Although there was still a barrier between her and Simei, she had already determined that Li Yong would not change, so she had no intention of getting married. How could I not have expectations for this matter?
As a result, the two of them had just gone out and before they had even exchanged a word, the sound of running behind them started again.
Li Yong didn't even need to look back to know that Simei was running out after him.
It's really "haunting"...
Well, that's not an appropriate adjective.
Simei's steps were very fast. Although she had short legs, her steps were high and she caught up with them directly.
