"That's good." Bei Rui smiled.

The pre-graduation dinner ended in an atmosphere where everyone had their own concerns. Qi You returned home, and only the old nanny was cleaning the empty living room. Qi Shengyuan took Qiao Xunxun to a cocktail party and has not come back yet. Qi Ran has just returned to China, and private parties have been happening recently.

.

She went upstairs thoughtfully, and the room without the lights was silent. In the darkness, she seemed to have kicked something, and it hit the corner of the table with a crisp sound.

She turned on the light, knelt down to check, and took out a chinchilla-shaped ceramic sculpture from under the bed, and was slightly stunned.

This sculpture is quite old, so much so that Qiyou almost forgot its existence. Ferrari probably picked it up from somewhere and played with it.

Qi You gently wiped the dust off the Totoro with a paper towel, held it in his hand and looked at the clues, and his thoughts were brought back many years ago.

She didn't know whether Qiao Chunyan had Bai Yueguang, but there was such a young man in her heart that she could not forget.

Qiyou's mother died early, and her father was busy with his career all year round. Before she was 10 years old, she lived with her grandparents for a long time. Her maternal grandparents lived in the outer suburbs, so it was natural for her to attend elementary school there.

Although she has no mother, the elders in her family have protected her very well. Qi You has grown up surrounded by love and has a very simple heart. If others treat her five points well, she will return ten points in return.

But for some unknown reason, the innocent and lively girl was still isolated by her friends in school, and no one wanted to be friends with her. Now that she recalls those days, Qi You still feels bitter in her heart.

At that time, she only had one good friend named Ling Lu, the granddaughter of her grandmother's neighbor.

Ling Lu's parents are divorced, and she lives with her mother in relatively difficult conditions. Qi You cherishes this only friend, and will think of her as soon as she has something delicious to eat and have fun.

Ling Lu's mother is very busy at work and often has no time to cook for her, so Qi You will take her home to eat together and do homework together in the evening.

She treated her good friends sincerely, but she never thought that in the eyes of others, she was just a stupid idiot with too much money.

One lunch break, Qi You came back from duty and overheard Ling Lu talking about herself with a group of classmates.

Ling Lu said that Qi You copied her homework, so she was praised by the teacher; that Qi You always gave her dresses that she didn't like;

Put the vegetables into her bowl.

Children are too young to distinguish right from wrong, and they take whatever others say. It is precisely because of Ling Lu's complaints and instigation that her classmates dislike this little princess from a well-off family even more.

One classmate said: "I really didn't expect that she is such a person. She is so rich, so can she bully others?"

Ling Lu said: "Humph, she is just an uneducated child of a dead mother!"

This sentence touched Qi You's bottom line. She rushed forward angrily, pushed Ling Lu to the ground, hit her on the head with the broom in her hand, and the two of them struggled.

Afterwards, both of them were called to the office. Because it was Qi You who made the first move, the head teacher asked Qi You to apologize first without asking a few questions.

Qi You refused and rushed out of the office crying.

She no longer wants to stay in this school, and she doesn't want to see these classmates who bully her anymore. She misses her father, her brother...

She wants to go home.

The security of ordinary primary schools in that era was not strict. The railing at the back door of the school was broken and no one repaired it. Qi You escaped from there.

She couldn't remember how far she had run, and she didn't know where she was going. When she came to her senses, everything around her was unfamiliar. She realized that she was lost, and collapsed and sat on the roadside crying.

Passers-by kept looking at her strangely, but no one stopped to ask her what happened and whether she needed help.

When she cried until her voice became hoarse, a black business car finally stopped in front of her.

With tears in her eyes, she saw a neat young man getting out of the car, tall and thin, wearing a clean white shirt, standing in the shadow of the sunlight and trees, reaching out and rubbing her little head.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

The boy's voice was very gentle, with the hoarseness of the voice-changing stage that penetrated straight into her heart.

Qi You sniffed and told the big brother what happened at school. The boy was silent after listening. Qi You pursed her lips and asked, "Do you also think I did something wrong?"

The young man knelt down, gently wiped the tears on her face with a tissue, brushed away her messy hair, and said: "Brother, it's not that you think you did something wrong, it's just that it's too dangerous for you to run out alone. Grandpa and grandma will

Worried."

He stretched out his hand towards her and said, "I'll take you back."

Qiyou shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to go back to that place, I hate everything there!"

"Then where do you want to go? I can take you there." The boy said.

Qiyou wiped away her tears, "I want to go back to find my father and brother, but they are far away from here. I can't tell the address. I only know that there is Gongqing Forest Park nearby."

The young man held her little hand and said, "Okay, I'll take you to find it."

Gongqing Forest Park is very famous in the city, with its strategic location and pleasant environment, which has attracted many developers to build high-end villas here.

Qi You comes here every holiday and is very familiar with it. She can tell the exact location of her home when she sees the gate of the Forest Park from a distance.

The black business car drove to the intersection and stopped at the red light. It happened that a group of children who were here for spring outing gathered in front of the Forest Park, holding colorful balloons, singing bubble guns and various toys.

.

Qi You lay on the car window and watched pitifully, unable to help but feel a little greedy.

The boy rubbed her head and asked, "Want to go play?"

"Is that okay?" Xiao Qiyou's eyes were bright.

The young man nodded, told the driver to pull over, and took Qiyou's hand to buy two tickets for the Forest Park.

That afternoon was the most unforgettable afternoon for Qiyou since he went to school. His eldest brother rented a bicycle, and Qiyou sat in the back seat and grabbed the hem of his clothes, swaying happily with her little feet.

The eldest brother took her to eat a lot of delicious food, took her to play bumper cars, and even took her to the pottery workshop next to the park to do handicrafts.

Qiyou knew nothing about pottery, and she ruined several pieces of clay, but her eldest brother was good at making sculptures. He pinched the ever-cute Totoro and gave it to her. The two of them touched each other and painted the Totoro together. The Totoro was not ready yet.

After that, Qi You became a little cat.

After the completion, the eldest brother gave the fired Totoro pottery to Qiyou as a gift. Qiyou held it in his arms like a treasure, for fear of accidentally breaking it.

As a return gift, she tied the red rope she knitted around his wrist. "The female classmates in our class all like to knit bracelets, and I followed suit secretly. I even got a bodhi seed from my grandpa to string on it."

In the middle, the braid looks prettier than the other girls. Grandpa said the red string can bring good luck. Big brother hopes that you will meet good people in the future and don't have any unhappy things."

The young man gently stroked the round Bodhi seed with his fingers and said with deep eyes, "Okay, then forget all the unhappy things and start over."

That day, when the boy sent Qiyou home, there was only a nanny in the house who was cooking. The nanny was so frightened when she heard that Qiyou escaped from school alone, she immediately called Qi Shengyuan and thanked the boy who sent her back again and again.

The elders in Qi You's family hold a treasure close to their heart, and if something happens to them, they will be frightened just thinking about it.

The nanny wanted to keep him at home for dinner, but he refused, saying he had to catch a flight.

Before leaving, Xiao Qiyou ran out of the yard and shouted at the boy's back: "Brother, will you come to play with me again?"

The young man looked back under the shade of the tree, and the sunlight fell on his shoulders, making his white shirt shine.

He smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Probably not."

"Why?"

"Because my eldest brother is going abroad today."

…

Qi You woke up from her dream. The room was dark. The alarm clock on the bedside table showed two o'clock in the morning. She still held the old chinchilla sculpture in her hand. She didn't know when she fell asleep.

She turned on the bedside lamp, gently stroked the Totoro's ears with her fingers, and then her eyes fell on the Totoro's tail, where three letters were engraved - jy.

Maybe the eldest brother's English name, she thought.

As time went by, Qiyou could no longer remember the appearance of her elder brother. She only remembered his look back in the sun, which amazed her youth.

After that incident, Qi You transferred to a private aristocratic school. No one would bully her anymore. But because of Ling Lu's incident, she always had a shadow in her heart. She didn't dare to talk to the classmates around her or expose her family background.

She was afraid that the person she thought was a good friend was actually approaching her with other purposes, which was why she deliberately kept a low profile when she first entered college.

Fortunately, she met Chen Jinan. Although she had always known that Qiyou's family situation was very good, Chen Jinan never asked for anything from her, and even treated her well and stayed with her when she was in the most difficult time without asking for anything in return.

As she grew up, Qi You grew more and more beautiful, and boys were lining up to chase her, but she always felt empty in her heart. No matter who attacked her, she felt that there was less excitement in her heart.

Even if I had an affair with Lin Ke, it was only at a certain time and from a certain angle that I felt that he looked a little like the person in my memory.

That's all.

She rubbed the faint English name on Totoro and murmured in a low voice: "Brother, where will you be now?"
