Chapter 16

He didn't know how many times he had recited these few words, but now he said them very fluently.

The driver sitting in the front seat suddenly let out a "huh", turned his head curiously, narrowed his eyes and looked at the gold pen in Qiu Mingquan's hand.

"Madam, it's this kind of box. I went to a few big shopping malls a few days ago, and they all said they were out of stock."

Liu Shuyan was a little surprised, reached out to take the gold pencil case in Qiu Mingquan's hand, and opened it.

That's right, on the body of the beautiful golden pen, the golden eagle with wings spreads proudly, and the hero logo is clearly engraved on the top, showing good workmanship and quality control.

I wanted to buy gold pens for my son and the two children of the Xiang family, so I asked the driver to go around, but it was too late.

But why did it happen to be such a coincidence today that someone came to sell it?

Noticing her surprise, Qiu Mingquan hastily explained: "Auntie, I just took advantage of the winter vacation to sell some stationery to lighten the burden on the family. I guarantee that this gold pen is genuine, and I just bought it from a boutique mall."

Liu Shuyan looked at his worn-out coat and the frayed cuffs, and suddenly felt amazed. Seeing the child's well-behaved appearance and clear voice, she couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with maternal love.

At a young age, at most he was about the same age as his son, but he was already going to the streets and trying to make a living.

She took a small leather bag from her side: "How much is one? I want three."

Qiu Mingquan was startled: I really want three.

"Twenty-eight yuan each." Qiu Mingquan waited for a while, but unexpectedly he didn't hear Feng Rui's instructions, and he didn't wait for the agreed upon agreement, so he could only answer according to the past price.

Liu Shuyan smiled softly, counted eighty-five yuan without haggling, and handed it to Qiu Mingquan outside the window.

Qiu Mingquan searched frantically for a long time before he found a coin. Just as I was about to pass it through the car window, I accidentally dropped the coin on the ground, and it rolled round and I don't know where it went.

"You don't need to look for it, that's all." Seeing him anxious, Liu Shuyan couldn't bear it.

"I found it!" Qiu Mingquan pouted his butt, finally found the shiny coin under the chassis of the car, and stretched out his hand in surprise, "Auntie, here you are!..."

But at this moment, a shadow shrouded from the direction of the setting sun, covering the originally good light.

"Where is the little beggar coming from?..." A cold and arrogant voice sounded, with the clarity of a boy's voice, within a few steps, it seemed very close, but also seemed a little far away.

"Feng Rui, what are you talking about?" Liu Shuyan scolded, opened the car door, and greeted her son who just finished the English tutoring class.

...Feng Rui. Which core, which seal?

Qiu Mingquan froze suddenly! It seemed that something exploded in his heart.

He raised his head with difficulty, and saw a face that made him feel like a thunderbolt.

With handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, the eyes are like stars, and the straight bridge of the nose is as if carved out by a knife.

With his back facing the cold winter sunset, the handsome young man was half a head taller than Qiu Mingquan. When he looked down at him, his mother's eyes were as beautiful as his mother's. There was no tenderness of Liu Shuyan, but a kind of impatient arrogance.

Although there was no preparation, Qiu Mingquan already understood one thing after this glance.

The blood-stained face of the CEO Feng he saw before he died in the previous life was still astonishingly handsome, and it perfectly matched the appearance of this handsome young man at this moment.

... Time sculpts, people's hearts change, what remains unchanged is each other's faces when they were young.

Winter vacation in January 1988.

In the evening of this day, the young Feng Rui, Qiu Mingquan and Xiang Cheng met for the first time.

The encounters in life are so wonderful, an ordinary day in the long river of life, but after a long time, because of everything that happened that day, it becomes easy to mark, so that after many years, it is firmly engraved in the hearts of several people.

Feng Rui frowned his handsome eyebrows, and looked at the strange boy in front of him.

The clothes were very old, and her little face was flushed and a little chapped from the cold, but her brows were clean and delicate, and her pair of dark eyes were looking at her without blinking.

The setting sun was shining from the west, and every subtle expression change on this strange boy's face could be seen clearly.

Yes, it was that strange expression—shock at first, bewilderment after that, and finally, surprise that was about to be said.

The young Feng Rui and Qiu Mingquan stood face to face like this, time seemed to have paused for a moment, but there was no distortion between them, and nothing strange happened.

Until Qiu Mingquan's eyes suddenly and inadvertently fell on the slightly exposed red on Feng Rui's chest.

Something flashed in his mind like a flash, he stared at the boy's neck opposite him, and his breathing became short of breath.

As if bewitched, he reached out his hand unexpectedly, grabbed Feng Rui's collar, and pulled gently!

The gentle Hetian white jade, with a crystal-clear color, has an emerald green in the middle... It is exactly the same, and it is connected with the flowing brilliance entangled inside. These days, it is also hanging on his chest, and it is often touched, so familiar!

That's right, this is the young Feng Rui. He had been wearing this family heirloom jade pendant next to his body in his previous life, and it was only when he died that he accidentally tore it off.

So the one you brought back? ...Qiu Mingquan clutched his chest blankly.

Suddenly, he vibrated, what's going on? What about the jade pendant on his chest that he brought back from his previous life? !

No, just no! Even the rope around the neck suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

"Little thief, put down Brother Rui's jade pendant!" Just when he was feeling helpless and his mind went blank, suddenly a clear boy shouted in his ear, his face suddenly hurt, and a strong force hit his left cheek. , His eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

Waking up from the shock and panic, Qiu Mingquan shook his head and felt liquid flowing under his nose.

Stretching out his hand to wipe it, the bright red blood was all over his hand.

"I don't look like a little beggar. He looks like a thief and a robber." A boy's voice sounded from the side, which was obviously different from Feng Rui's, with vigilance and defense.

Qiu Mingquan raised his head blankly and looked at the person who spoke.

Just now, she had been focusing on Feng Rui, but she didn't realize that beside Feng Rui, there was another equally handsome boy.

She is a little shorter than Feng Rui, with picturesque eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes looking forward, looking like a pretty girl. Just looking at Qiu Mingquan's eyes, there was an unconcealable vigilance and fierceness.

It's strange... why does this young man seem so familiar?

"Xiaocheng! Why are you so rude!" Liu Shuyan was taken aback, got out of the car in a hurry, and hurried to Qiu Mingquan's side, "How are you?"

The beating boy immediately changed into a harmless and cute smile: "Aunt Liu, you didn't see just now that this little thief reached out to grab Brother Rui's precious jade pendant! If I hadn't beaten him down, maybe At this time, he just ran away!"

He was good-looking, and his phoenix eyes looked extremely energetic when he smiled. Liu Shuyan was also a little puzzled when he heard what he said.

Feng Rui didn't speak immediately.

He looked at the strange boy who was knocked to the ground by Xiang Cheng's punch, and for some reason, he was a little dazed.

He thinks he has the ability to recognize people with a photographic memory, and he has never seen this person before, but what is this strange feeling in his heart?

Those dark eyes were obviously unfamiliar, but they seemed to have been seen somewhere, dazed and a little helpless, as if there was an unspeakable sadness.

Scared, is this the look of begging for mercy? Feng Rui hesitated for a moment because of a strange coincidence.

"No more.... There was a bug on my collar just now. He wanted to brush it off for me." He said lightly.

"Huh? Brother!" Xiang Chengda was taken aback.

He could see clearly from the side, it was obviously the little beggar who reached out to grab Feng Rui's pendant, and his eyes were full of greed. He was afraid that this precious thing would be snatched away by the little beggar, so he rushed to do it, Brother Rui Impossible not to see it, which muscle is wrong?

"Hey, he's obviously a robber!" He cried anxiously.

Liu Shuyan got a little angry and raised her face: "Xiaocheng, you beat someone even if you made a mistake. If you do this again in the future, Auntie won't make any delicious food for you."

Qiu Mingquan stared blankly at them, and finally struggled to get up. Don't look at the mayor who looks like a girl, but she is famous for being mischievous in fights. This punch was so hard that half of Qiu Mingquan's cheek was already slightly swollen, and a piece of his palm was worn out when he fell, and blood was slowly oozing out. Come.

Liu Shuyan hurriedly took out the tissue box from the car and helped Qiu Mingquan wipe off the blood on his face.

Remembering that Qiu Mingquan came to sell pens just now, but his family was in a tight situation, so he took out fifty yuan from his wallet and handed it to Qiu Mingquan: "Son, I'm really sorry, you take this money first, and go to the hospital to deal with it tomorrow." ,OK?"

Xiang Cheng felt aggrieved, seeing this little guy reaching out to grab Brother Rui's things, Aunt Liu didn't believe him! With a snort, he rolled his pretty Danfeng eyes and looked at the sky.

Qiu Mingquan was startled, but shook his head and didn't pick it up.

"Auntie, I'm fine..." He whispered, turned around lonely, and wanted to leave.

When passing by Xiangcheng with Feng Rui, he still couldn't help but stop and take a last look at the two of them.

The setting sun was about to go down, and the afterglow was warm and wandering, reflecting the two teenagers in front of me. The same figure is tall and straight, the clothes are fashionable, one is cold and handsome, and the other is beautiful and flawless.

——Looks like an exceptional match.

Sensing Qiu Mingquan's gaze, Xiang Cheng quickly put on a fierce look and glared at him viciously.

Qiu Mingquan turned his head in embarrassment, but couldn't help looking at Feng Rui.

Although this young man looked like a teenager, there was an aura of not being close to strangers early on, and his temperament was exactly the same as that of the man who was giving orders to his ear every day.

"I'm not a thief... I didn't intend to steal your things either." Qiu Mingquan spoke with difficulty, with a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, "You, you trust me."

...
