Seeing that the days were approaching day by day, Xu Ji became more and more anxious and sensitive.
Xu Ji is young, and the nervousness of the past few days inevitably makes him feel very unsteady, with Liang Xiao lying next to him, he still feels that it is not enough, he still has to hold Qin Shu's hand, and at this time he is not making a fuss to listen to bedtime stories, so he looks at Qin Shu with blank eyes.
It wasn't until Qin Shu and they squeezed into the same bed that he was willing to close his eyes.
But even so, when he slept until midnight, Xu Ji woke up from his dream without warning and instinctively touched his side.
Liang Xiao was lying on one side, but the other side was empty.
If it weren't for the residual warmth left in the bed, it would indicate that the person had just gotten up, and Xu Ji would be able to tear open his throat and cry.
The door was ajar, and the faint moonlight came in, Xu Ji quietly climbed down from the bed, without alarming Liang Xiao, and went out alone without wearing shoes.
The lights in the next few rooms have been turned off, the courtyard is empty, although there is some moonlight, but it is not very bright, Xu Ji ran out without thinking too much, at this time was blown by the night wind, his brain began to sober, those man-eating demons seemed to jump out of the story one by one, just hiding in the dark and staring at him, looking at the opportunity to catch him.
He dared to sweep around the yard at first, but he didn't see Qin Shu, so he couldn't help but be scared, and shouted in a low voice: "Daddy, daddy, where are you?"
Fortunately, he soon heard Qin Shu answer him.
After a while, Qin Shu's figure came out of the shadow of the courtyard wall, and his voice was slightly surprised: "Xiaoji, why did you run out?"
He noticed Xu Ji standing barefoot on the stone steps, and he felt cold, and a few little toes moved unconsciously, clutching the ground.
He didn't seem to notice this, his face was faintly uneasy, and his eyes looked at Qin Shu's figure without blinking, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again.
Qin Shu bent down and picked him up from the ground.
The little one trembled slightly in his arms, and it took a while to ease up.
He was so bold during the day, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't dare to do, but once he waited for night, he was most afraid of ghosts, monsters, or something, and never dared to go into the dark by himself.
He dared to run out now, and he really mustered up courage.
Xu Ji lay in his arms, slowly feeling at ease, so he didn't even want to investigate the fact that he didn't see him when he woke up in the middle of the night, he rubbed his little head in Qin Shu's arms, and finally rested on Qin Shu's shoulder, just asked with a little grievance: "Daddy, what are you doing when you come out." ” Qin Shu quietly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and paused before answering him: "You have to drink water when you wake up at night, I'll pour water for you." ” This answer was still satisfactory to Xu Ji, and he didn't notice that Qin Shu's direction just now was not the kitchen, so he sighed and stopped talking.
Qin Shu carried him back to the room, and Liang Xiao fell asleep well and didn't wake up.
Although the little guy was sleepy, he was a little frightened just now, but at this time, he held his eyelids and refused to lie on the bed by himself.
Qin Shu didn't have much heat on his body.
Pulled the corner of the quilt and draped it over the two of them, and touched his feet, feeling a little cold, so he kept covering him.
There was no light in the house, Qin Shu sat like this for a while with him in his arms, and asked Xu Ji softly: "When you have your birthday in a few days, do you have any gifts you want, as long as I can do it?"
Xu Ji tried hard to keep his eyes wide so that he would not be dragged away by the sleeping insects.
He is extremely smart, so many days of pestering and pestering has no effect, and at this time, he did not mention the matter of retaining Qin Shu in vain, but he seriously tilted his head and thought carefully about what he wanted that day, and finally said: "I want to eat noodles, not anything else." ” He was afraid that Qin Shu wouldn't understand, so he stretched out his hand and gestured: "The kind of birthday food, very long, only one bowl of noodles, I want my father to make it himself, don't want others to make it, you come to the house and make it for me." ” Qin Shu's chin rested on the top of his head, and he nodded lightly for a long time: "Just this?"
Xu Ji was happy and a little dissatisfied.
"I will eat noodles in the future, every year, and I want my father to make them for me every year."
This time, Qin Shu didn't answer for a long time, but he seemed to hug him tighter.
Xu Ji suddenly felt that his father seemed to be sad now.
He struggled up, suppressed his face and wanted to see Qin Shu's expression, but unfortunately the moonlight was too dark, and he didn't see anything clearly.
Then he was gently covered by Qin Shu and sighed: "Don't wake up my brother."
Xu Ji thought about it, turned his head to look at Liang Xiao on the side, and finally quieted down and didn't move.
Qin Shu put him next to Liang Xiao, seemed to hesitate slightly, and finally lowered his head to kiss him, and leaned over to kiss Liang Xiao on the forehead.
Pull up the quilt for the two of them, and say softly, "Sleep."
Xu Ji closed his eyes at this time.
Regardless of whether Xu Ji reluctantly counted his fingers, his birthday was still in the blink of an eye.
Although the separation is imminent, adults are not very comfortable, but they are unwilling to show it in front of children.
Because Xu Ji was clamoring to ask Qin Shu to go to his house to cook noodles for him, he advanced his birthday banquet and had a very hearty lunch.
It's just that the whole family has a bit of a forced smile, and the meal is always a little cold.
Qin Shu, the party involved, was caught in the middle of it, but he was silent.
Xu Ji is even more contrary to his usual lively and listless counting of rice.
Yi Zhen always cherishes him, today is his birthday again, seeing that he is depressed, he thinks about how to make him happy.
After eating, he led him to walk around the street with a hug.
When Qin Shu came to the small courtyard rented by Yi Jin, the father and son had not yet returned.
Even the two masters, who usually work in the front yard, seem to have gone to the store to help today.

Qin Shu didn't come many times, but he was unexpectedly familiar with the road.
Seeing that it was still early, he first cleaned the yard and the house, and then sorted out the clothes of the father and son, and folded them neatly.
Without a trace, he wanted to do as much as he could for this father and son.
When everything he wanted was done, he looked at the gloomy weather that seemed to be about to rain, and while worrying in his heart whether the two people who were away from home would be caught in the rain, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the clothes that the two of them had worn yesterday to wash.
There is no living water in this yard, but there is a well, he washed his clothes, and he was going to go to the well to fetch water to rinse, just stood up, his eyes suddenly turned black, and there seemed to be a red charcoal fire burning in his chest and lungs, he instinctively wanted to hold on to something, but he stretched out his hand but caught a void, his throat was hot, and a hot and slightly fishy taste came up, and the Venus in front of him was rising, and he gradually lost consciousness.
Qin Shu didn't know how long he had been dizzy, it seemed to be very long, it didn't seem to be too long, and finally the rain gradually flew fine, he was excited by the coldness on his face, and then he gradually regained some consciousness, and he understood what was going on with him in his heart, it was originally an old injury, and it has been getting worse and worse recently, Xu Ji pestered him from time to time, and there were a few times when he almost couldn't hide it, he just didn't expect that he would almost not be able to support it today.
The only thing to be thankful for at this time was that the father and son seemed to have been stopped by the rain and had not yet returned, so he lay in the rain for half a day without anyone noticing.
He didn't feel very much pain at this time, but his body was dull and numb, he had no strength at all, and he didn't care about the rain, so he lay on the ground for a while, and then he accumulated the strength to get up and look at himself slowly.
The rain fell for some time, and the blood stains on the edge of the well platform stone were washed away a little, but fortunately he fell forward, and his clothes were not splashed with blood stains, and the well platform was also cleaned before, except for the clothes that were a little wet, but they were not very dirty.
He calmly re-fetched the water, washed away the blood from the slate, and still rinsed his clothes.
Although he did these things in an orderly manner, he was actually a little dizzy in his head, it was raining outside, and he was walking around with a few rinsed clothes, and he really couldn't find a place to dry.
He stood under the eaves of the house in a daze with his clothes, and the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and the father and son jumped in the door.
He originally thought that the two of them would be drenched in the rain, but in the end, he was worried in vain, Yi Jin held Xu Ji in his arms, and Xu Ji held the newly bought umbrella high above the heads of the two.
Seeing Qin Shu in a blink of an eye, he struggled to get off the ground from Yi Jin's arms, and staggered towards Qin Shu with a big umbrella.
Yi Zhen frowned slightly, and followed him briskly.
His steps were much bigger than Xu Ji's, but he was ahead of Xu Ji.
Qin Shu was still standing there in a daze, the clothes in his hand had been snatched away by Yi Jin's hand, and he threw them back into the basin with a flick of his hand, and looked at his half-wet clothes again, and his tone was not very kind: "Don't you know that it's raining, what clothes are you washing in a hurry?"
"That's it."
Xu Ji also ran over, tiptoeing hard, stretching out his arms and holding an umbrella high to cover Qin Shu from the rain, but he was always a little short, so anxious that he circled around Qin Shu.
Qin Shu opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, Yi Zhen looked a little stunned when he saw him today, and he couldn't get out of the fire in his heart, so he pulled him.
Pushed him into the house and found a dry towel to wipe his hair.
Xiao Ji also lost his umbrella and came in, his brain was fast, and he immediately went into the house to rummage through Yi Jin's dry clothes.
Yi Zhen muttered a few more words to Qin Shu, seeing that the latter was just listening in a daze, he also felt bored, and seeing that his face was really not very good, he had to sulk.
After a few people had changed into clean clothes, Xu Ji leaned over and stood next to Qin Shu, and said expectantly: "Daddy, I'm hungry for my noodles." ” Qin Shu woke up like a dream and let out a low sigh.
Xu Ji saw that his expression was different, and he ran to the kitchen to take a look, only to see that there was a cold pot and a cold stove inside, the noodles were not yet harmonious, and even the hens that were ready to be used to make soup were not slaughtered.
Xu Ji was stunned, and the grievances spread to his heart a little bit, and he slowly squatted on the ground with his small fists.
Qin Shu came in after him, and in vain explained to him that he was late today, and he didn't have time to make longevity noodles.
Yi Jin's heart was slightly dissatisfied, and he lightly persuaded maybe Ji to say a few words, but he couldn't help but turn around and ask Qin Shu: "You still know that it's late, but you're busy washing what clothes on a rainy day?"
Qin Shu pursed his lips and silently let him complain, but it is not possible to knead the muscles and bones of the noodles in a while, and it takes time to boil the soup, and it is too late to do it now, and he is also dizzy from time to time in his mind, knowing that he can't support it for too long.
I looked in the kitchen and saw that there was still some rice, so I took two eggs and made a fried rice, which was served in a few moments.
Xu Ji was hugged by Yi Zhen and sat on the stool, his mouth was sad with his mouth pursed, tears were swirling in his eyes, and he couldn't fall off.
It's not that he thinks that noodles are much better than fried rice, but the meaning of the two is completely different, and he only feels wronged.
Yi Jin's mood is obviously not too good, Xu Ji's aggrieved appearance he sees in his eyes, but from morning to now, he has also held a dark fire in his heart, if Qin Shu has a grudge against him, he can understand, but he can't accept his attitude towards Xu Ji, especially on the little guy's birthday, I didn't see him make any concessions to the child.
In his opinion, what Xu Ji wants is just a bowl of noodles, even if Qin Shu has any ideas in his heart, he should be able to meet this small request, but now the situation is beyond his expectations, this kind of angry emotion has accumulated until now, although it has not erupted, but it is obviously manifested on his face.
In front of Qin Shu, he no longer coaxed Xu Ji, who was very aggrieved, and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hand, with a simple word: "Eat." ” On the contrary, Qin Shu stood aside a little helplessly, very guilty, and said softly to Xu Ji: "Didn't you say that you are hungry to eat this first, and then Daddy will make noodles for you to eat, okay?"
Xu Ji pouted, and it took a long time to endure the tears, nodded aggrievedly, and slowly took the rice in his mouth, but he was extremely aggrieved in his heart.
Yi Zhen suddenly interjected: "When will you be able to do it for him in the future?"
His tone was harsh and sharp, and he already sounded a little aggressive.
But Qin Shu couldn't answer this question, and he himself was not good at clever words, so he had to remain silent at this time.
Xu Ji rolled his eyes and looked between the two adults, as smart as him, he could naturally see who was on his side, with Yi Jin's support, he was bolder, and he was originally counting the rice grains without a mouthful, but now he simply picked the rice and sprinkled it everywhere, just didn't send it to his mouth, muttered and muttered: "I want to eat noodles, I don't want to eat, I want to eat noodles, don't eat" Yi Jin's face sank like water, and he was noncommittal to Xu Ji's actions.
Qin Shu could only turn his head sideways, as if he didn't hear Xiao Ji's complaints that were louder than the other.
Xu Ji regarded Yi Jin's silence as encouragement, and simply became more and more noisy, he held the bowl and slammed it on the table, while whispering: "I want to eat noodles, I want to eat noodles, don't eat" Although he didn't grasp the strength for a while, the bowl slipped out of his small hand, and fell to the ground with the edge of the table, only to hear a crisp sound, and a bowl of rice fell upside down on the ground, and the bowl was shattered.
Xu Ji didn't expect this change at all, and was stunned at the time, Yi Jin, Qin Shu and the two of them followed the prestige, and the room was silent for a while.
In normal times, no matter how Yi Zhen connived at Xu Ji, if the little guy dares to flip the table and smash the bowl, it will definitely be a lesson.
That's why the little guy has a bottom line for messing around.

But Yi Zhen is also very protective and spoiled, although Xiaoji has broken the rules at the moment, there is something forgivable, and there are children who can't control their emotions.
He excused Xiao Ji like this in his heart, so he just lowered his eyes as if he didn't see anything, and he didn't open his mouth to blame Xu Ji.
But the little anger in his heart, in the end, because of Xiao Ji's incompetence, couldn't come out.
Qin Shu didn't think much about it, he saw Xiao Ji knocking over the rice, and his first thought was to clean up, but who knew that he had just bent down, and there was a burst of darkness in front of him, and he suddenly didn't dare to act rashly, and stood up straight again with his support on the table.
He swallowed the blood in his mouth and tried to make his voice sound as usual: "Since you are not hungry, forget it if you don't want to eat."
When you are hungry at night, ask your father to take you to supper. ” Xu Ji had already slipped off the stool, he squatted on the ground and was secretly distressed, the two poached eggs that had not had time to take a bite were about to pull them out from the bottom.
Hearing Qin Shu speak, he didn't hear anything for a while, and he argued stiffly: "I didn't mean it."
He raised his head to look at Qin Shu, and wanted to explain a few words to himself, but he saw that Qin Shu had no expression on his face, as if he was looking at himself, and as if he didn't see anything, that gaze was actually a little sloppy, but he forcibly supported it with his consciousness.
Xiao Ji didn't understand this, he just felt that his father didn't seem to be right, and he was a little scared for a while, and he didn't even dare to say anything to justify.
And Yi Zhen lowered his head, only to know that Qin Shu stood for a while, as if he felt that he had nothing to say, and finally said briefly: "Then I'll go back." ” Yi Zhen wanted to stay with him for a while, but he didn't know how to speak.
I was annoyed, and seeing that Qin Shu had already turned around and went out, I hurriedly chased out and stopped Qin Shu.
Stopped him, but didn't know what to say.
Finally, he stuffed Fang Cai's umbrella into Qin Shu's hand: "You use this." ” Qin Shu took it, glanced at him, and then looked at the clothes that were soaked in the basin: "When the weather is clear, you have to remember to dry" Yi Zhen didn't know if it was his own illusion, and felt that Qin Shu seemed to be a little sad.
But Qin Shu only hesitated slightly, and finally said softly: "Take care" Yi Jin's throat choked, and suddenly he inexplicably realized that he had said something about it.
And Qin Shu had already turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate quickly.
Xu Ji seemed to come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly chased out the door, seeing that only his father was standing in the courtyard in a daze, he was suddenly anxious, and he didn't care that the rain was still falling heavily, so he chased him outside.
Qin Shu didn't go too far, and his thin figure holding an umbrella could still be vaguely seen in the rain and fog.
"Daddy, Daddy" Xu Ji stumbled behind him, and a mouthful of rain would choke in his mouth and nose, but Xu Ji was afraid that Qin Shu would not hear it, so he panted and shouted loudly as he ran: "I didn't mean to drop the bowl, Daddy, don't be angry Daddy, you wait for me" However, only hearing the sound of rain in his ears, Qin Shu seemed to be walking faster and faster.
Xu Ji ran in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to his feet, he didn't pay attention for a while, fell the bluestone road, and got out of the way.
Xiao Ji was even shocked and hurt, he felt that his knees and palms were rubbing very painfully, this time he couldn't get up immediately and catch up again, when he raised his head to see, Qin Shu didn't even turn his head, he couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly: "Daddy, I fell Daddy, Daddy, you come and see me, you come and hug me, don't you want me, don't you want me?"
The figure in front seemed to pause slightly, but before Xu Ji could breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Shu walked forward again.
Xu Ji was frightened, lying in the rain and crying more and more pitifully.
A pair of hands hugged him behind his back, Xu Ji looked at it with wide teary eyes, and saw that the person who picked him up was Yi Jin, but not Qin Shu. became more and more sad, hugged Yi Jin's neck and choked loudly: "I want Daddy, I want Daddy" Yi Jin's face was tense, his expression was a little gloomy, and he didn't say a word in the face of Xiao Ji's crying, just silently hugged Xiao Ji, and followed Qin Shu not far in the rain.
The two of them followed behind him, and Qin Shu knew it.
Because Xiao Ji kept crying and calling Daddy, the voice came intermittently through the heavy rain and fog, as if it was not in his ears, but pierced into his heart.
He wanted to go back and take a look, to get them to go back.
However, he didn't dare to look back, the blood in his chest had never subsided, and his eyes were black for a while, but he was afraid that this time he turned around, his mood fluctuated slightly, and he couldn't hide it anymore.
Xiao Ji's crying voice followed him across the stone bridge, through the simple alley, until he entered the courtyard gate and stopped more than ten meters away from the gate.
Qin Shu was ruthless, and he didn't look back and followed the father and son behind him, until he closed the courtyard gate, he couldn't support it anymore, let go of the umbrella and let it roll aside, and sat on the ground with his back against the gate.
He stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, but he felt wet, and he didn't know if it was rain or tears.
The fishy sweetness in his mouth came up again, and he silently wiped it away.
Because the rain was so heavy, the family was in the house, and the noise he made when he came back was also drowned out by the rain, and no one came out to check, so he was able to lean against the door to catch his breath for a while, waiting for the dizziness to pass.
It rained a lot.
His mind was groggy, and after that mouthful of blood, he felt that his breathing was much easier, and he felt that he could hold on for a while, so he thought with some antiquity, on such a rainy day, maybe he should let their father and son come in to avoid the rain, change into clean clothes, take an umbrella and go back, he will leave tomorrow, just to be able to take one last look at those who have been unable to give up, and he has nothing else to ask for.
He carefully thought of the words, carefully adjusted the expression on his face, and mustered up a lot of courage, and then he cautiously opened the door.
However, the rain alley was empty, and there were still the shadows of Yi Zhen and Xu Ji, father and son, who had quietly left at some point.
His mind was blank for a moment, and it took him half a day to recall that Xiao Ji's cry had not been heard for a while since Fang Cai.
He still held the umbrella that Yi Jinsai gave him not long ago, and he stared at the empty rain alley for a long time, only to feel that his heart was also empty, and he wanted to cry for some reason.
However, this inexplicable thought only flashed in my heart.
In the end, he did not make a sound of even a word, and silently turned around to close the door, and the umbrella was placed casually by the door
