Deja Vu
After they went to bed, Gongsun went back to the siheyuan. He needed to arrange a lot of things tomorrow. After all, he was the chief butler of the Qin Family. Zhuang Zhou and Nangong had to spend the night in the car outside.
At four o 'clock in the morning, the weather outside suddenly changed. The cold wind howled, and it didn't take long for heavy snow to fall. This was the first snow of winter in Beijing this year. It came earlier and heavier than usual.
When Qin Ran woke up, it was already snowing heavily. It was a vast expanse of whiteness outside, wrapped in silver. It was a completely white world. The heater in the house was very hot, and the windows were full of water vapor. It was so hazy that the outside world could not be seen at all.
Qin Ran was a little absent-minded. There was a familiar feeling. It was as if they had returned to the winter when they were young, waiting for their mother to wake them up for dinner.
Qin Ran put on her clothes and got out of bed. After she opened the window, the cold air hit her face and made her eyes red instantly. However, she was pleasantly surprised. She said excitedly, "It's snowing."
In the courtyard, the children were the most excited. They were playing wantonly in the snow, and the air was filled with their laughter. When they were young, it was the same for them. When it snowed, she would bring her younger brother to play with the children in the yard in the snow. They would make snowmen, have snowball fights, and so on. When they returned home, they would always be scolded by their father, but their mother would smile and say that it was fine.
The elderly, who were wrapped up tightly, stood not far away with teacups in their hands. They stared at the children smilingly and then shouted in fear, "Be careful, be careful."
If she didn't look at the tall buildings in the distance, she would really think that she had traveled back to her childhood. If that was the case, it would be great.
After coming back to her senses, Qin Ran remembered what had happened last night. Her face instantly became as bright as a flower and her eyes were full of warmth. She closed the window slowly and walked out of the room to the living room. Qin Sheng was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room. However, his posture was a little weird and the quilt was kicked to the ground.
Qin Ran couldn't help but laugh. He was still the same as when he was young. He liked to kick the quilt and sleep restlessly. Qin Ran walked over slowly. She didn't intend to wake him up. She was going to cover him with the quilt and let him sleep a little longer. Then she went out to buy breakfast and woke him up.
When she walked to him, Qin Sheng, who had been very vigilant these days, woke up instantly. He suddenly stood up and looked at her with horror in his eyes.
Qin Ran was startled and almost fell to the ground. Qin Sheng came to himself and held her up in a hurry. He said embarrassedly, "Sister, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?"
Qin was a little scared. She said, "What happened just now? She said, "What?"
Qin Sheng did not know how to explain. He could only say helplessly, "Maybe it's because I've been used to it for so many years. I always stay awake when I sleep."
After hearing what Qin Sheng said, Qin Ran understood what was going on. It was because Qin Sheng had been living in fear during this period of time. He did not even dare to sleep soundly. After all, he had to be on guard against the enemies hiding behind him at all times.
Qin Ran held Qin Sheng in her arms and said, "Don't do this again. I will protect you. I won't let anyone bully you again."
Qin Sheng was touched. What was family love? Blood was thicker than water. Even though he just met his sister, Qin Sheng could feel his sister's feelings for him. "Sister, I'm a little hungry." Qin Sheng was still not used to Qin Ran's love for him. Last night, he was touched by the scene and his emotions were too strong. Qin Sheng felt a little embarrassed after he calmed down. So he changed the topic.
"Sister, I'm a little hungry." Qin Sheng was still not used to Qin Ran's love for him. Last night, he was touched by the scene and his emotions were too strong. After calming down today, Qin Sheng felt a little embarrassed. So he changed the topic.
Now that they were back in Beijing, Qin Ran would try her best to satisfy any of Qin Sheng's requests. Hearing that he was hungry, she immediately let go of Qin Sheng and said, "Go wash up. I'll take you to breakfast. There's an old restaurant in the alley outside. We used to eat there when we were young. It's still open."
Qin Sheng nodded with a smile and went to wash up. Qin Ran didn't forget to say, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. It snowed last night. Open the window and have a look. This is the first snow in Beijing this year. Beijing hasn't seen such heavy snow for several years. You just happened to catch it. It means that Beijing is also welcoming you home."
Qin Sheng, who had just walked to the bathroom, turned back and ran to the balcony immediately. Qin Sheng liked snow and did not like rain. When he was in Xi 'an, he liked Zhongnan Mountains when it snowed the most. It was as beautiful as a painting. Qin Ran was the same. This pair of brother and sister had many similar hobbies. After all, they were not family.
Opening the window, Qin Sheng was a little excited to see the snow-covered world outside. The wind was cold and the snow was flying. The whole world was chaotic. He couldn't help but take two breaths of cold air. He almost choked. Then he laughed like a child.
Before he could enjoy this snowy world enough, Qin Ran ran to him and pulled his arm. "Don't look at it. Go wash up first. When we go out later, I'll take you to see enough."
Qin Sheng left reluctantly and went to the bathroom to wash up. Last night, Gongsun had sent all the necessary daily necessities over, so they had everything they needed.
After washing up, the pair dressed up neatly and could not wait to go out. As soon as they went downstairs, they felt the biting cold wind outside. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit their faces like knives. They didn't know how those children played. Maybe they just came out of the warm house. They would get used to it after a while.
Qin Ran held Qin Sheng's arm and was ready to take him to walk around in the yard to get familiar with this familiar but now strange environment. Maybe he could recall more memories.
Zhuang Zhou and Nangong, who had been waiting for them in the car, saw them coming out. They thought they were going back to the siheyuan, so they quickly got off the car to welcome them.
Qin Ran was a little surprised. "You were in the car last night?"
Nangong looked a little pale. He nodded with grievance. It was a hard night. Zhuang Zhou didn't care. He just looked at the pair of brother and sister with a smile.
Qin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why didn't you go back to rest? If you went back to the siheyuan, I would definitely call you. Alas, it's my fault. I didn't tell you. "
"Sister, are we going back now?" Nangong asked weakly.
Qin Ran said with embarrassment, "Wait a little longer. I'll take him around the yard and have breakfast. Then we'll go back. By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you later. "
Nangong wanted to find a bed and sleep now. Hearing that they had to wait a little longer, he felt somewhat helpless. But he still had to wait. So he said, "As long as we can fill our stomachs."
Qin Ran looked at Zhuang Zhou and asked, "What about Uncle Zhuang?"
"Whatever." Zhuang Zhou chuckled.
Qin Sheng looked at Nangong up and down. Such a beautiful girl was shivering in the cold. Her pitiful look made people feel pity for her more or less. However, he was more curious about this beautiful girl. He didn't know what relationship she had with the Qin Family. She had been following Zhuang Zhou these days. He could understand that Zhuang Zhou could do many things. After all, Zhuang Zhou was not an ordinary person. But Nangong was just an ordinary woman. Wasn't it a bit too much?
Nangong and Zhuang Zhou wanted to follow Qin Ran, but Qin Ran insisted. After all, there wouldn't be any danger here. Even so, Zhuang Zhou still followed them from a distance in case of accidents.
The Planning Commission was very big. There were many different yards. Qin Ran took Qin Sheng to wander in the yard. They talked about family trifles and childhood memories. On the way, they met some acquaintances, such as uncles and aunties, who were very familiar with Qin Ran. They knew that this girl often came here. But they only knew the story of the Qin Family in the past. They didn't know much about the current Qin Family.
Some uncles and aunties stared at Qin Sheng and asked, "Ran Ran, is this your boyfriend?"
Qin Ran shook her head with a smile and said, "No, this is my brother."
The uncles and aunties didn't ask too much. They just smiled and praised him out of politeness. Then they left quietly.
This old restaurant was in the alley behind the yard. After Qin Ran brought Qin Sheng in, the boss immediately recognized her. He said, "Hey, Ran Ran, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you here today?"
Maybe because of the heavy snow last night, no one was willing to go out. There were no customers in the old restaurant. Only two tables of people were eating breakfast. The boss and the lady boss greeted them.
Qin Ran smiled and explained, "Uncle Wang, I've been busy recently. I'm free today."
After the boss and the lady boss exchanged some polite words with Qin Ran, they naturally focused on Qin Sheng. They asked like those uncles and aunties, "Is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome."
Qin Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Song, you definitely can't recognize him. This is my brother. Do you remember the little boy who always came to buy soy milk?"
"Your brother?" The boss and the lady boss said blankly. Then they stared at Qin Sheng again and again, as if they wanted to see through him.
After about ten seconds, they suddenly said, "Oh, oh, oh, I remember. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I haven't seen him for so many years. The little guy has become a big guy. We can't recognize him."
Qin Sheng didn't expect that the boss and the lady boss could recognize him. Maybe they didn't either. After all, so many years had passed. He was just responding politely. But he still smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Song, hello."
The boss and the lady boss greeted Qin Sheng politely as if they had just met yesterday, which made Qin Sheng somewhat uncomfortable.
After the greetings, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran found a table and sat down. Qin Ran smiled at Qin Sheng and said, "Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and a tea egg. It's your favorite when you were young."
Although Qin Sheng's eating habits had changed, he still nodded and agreed in order to regain the memories of those years.
Not long after, the lady boss brought the soy milk and fried dough sticks. Qin Ran smiled and said, "You must be hungry. Eat quickly."
Maybe he was really hungry. Qin Sheng ate two mouthfuls of the fried dough sticks and drank some soy milk. He felt that the taste was really good. So he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to fill his stomach first.
Qin Ran was not very hungry. After eating a fried dough stick and drinking some soy milk, she watched Qin Sheng wolfing down the food. Until Qin Sheng was full, she considerately handed a tissue to him.
"Is it delicious?" Qin Ran said with a smile.
Qin Sheng nodded and said, "It's delicious."
"If you're full, then let's go back. We'll come again in the future," Qin Ran said softly.
She stood up to pay the bill and took the takeaway breakfast. After chatting with the boss and the lady boss for a while, Qin Ran took Qin Sheng out of this old restaurant.
After returning to the community, Qin Ran first gave the breakfast to Nangong and Zhuang Zhou. Then she turned around and said to Qin Sheng, "It's time to go back and see our father."
