" then ... " fang zikai regained his senses and said to gu yiqiu stupidly, " but your english results are so bad. how are you going to survive if you go abroad? "

gu yiqiu was stunned and looked like she was about to cry. " yeah, i only got around 30 points in english this time ... " the two children who had vowed to be the school's top students were stumped by their english results.

however, when she checked her english again, gu yiqiu still went abroad.

after gu yiqiu left the country, fang zikai was sad for a long time. after gu yiqiu left the country, the two of them still talked on the phone often. at first, they called twice a week, then once a week, then twice a month, and finally once every few months.

when fang zikai was 11 years old, gu yiqiu had completely cut off all contact with him.

!!

after entering junior high school, fang zikai made new friends and became someone else's boss. gradually, he forgot about gu yiqiu.

this was how friendships were when you were young. you would become good friends with many people, and when you were together, you would always find countless common interests. you'll be sad when you part, but there will always be new friends by your side. and the person who had once made you sad for a period of time would eventually become an insignificant person.

in the third year of junior high school, the two fang brothers were still the focus of attention in school. the older brother, fang zicheng's results were as dazzling as the polaris in the sky. it would never go out and was always shining brightly. it made people envious.

his younger brother, fang zikai, was also considered outstanding. he had gradually become more sensible and no longer worshipped martial arts. he picked up the violin again. when his hands held the bow, he could play the most beautiful song in the world. if he raised his fist, he could beat up the hooligans on the streets until they hugged their heads and begged for mercy while calling him grandpa.

under the influence of her two older brothers, fang taoran, who was studying in a primary school, also became the kind of person who attracted attention. under fang yusheng's daily education, fang taoran finally became more gentle and quiet. she was still rebellious in her blood, but she looked very well-behaved on the outside.

she was just like her mother, who was very deceptive.

fang zicheng and the others were still in their third year of junior high, while fang shan had already entered senior high. fang shan's appearance had completely matured. when he was a teenager, you could already see some of fang mu's shadow on his face.

fang yusheng was no longer jealous of fang mu. he knew that qiao jiusheng no longer loved fang mu. it was probably the words that fang mu had said before his death that had affected qiao jiusheng. after fang mu's death, qiao jiusheng would also pay respects to him on his death anniversary.

it wasn't to reminisce or miss her, but to see an old friend.

one year, on a drizzling day, qiao jiusheng went to the cemetery to pay her respects to fang mu. after paying her respects, she got up and was about to leave when she saw fang shan standing behind her. for a moment, qiao jiusheng was in a daze. she stared at fang shan's face and thought that she was looking at fang mu in his youth.

"little aunt." fang shan walked in front of her and knelt down in front of his father's grave.

fang shan burned some paper money for fang mu and talked to him about some trivial matters in life. qiao jiusheng stood to the side and listened, only leaving with fang shan after he was done with everything.

qiao jiusheng wanted to send fang shan home, and fang shan agreed.

on the way, fang shan asked, " aunty, has my mother been locked up in junyang city's first prison? "

fang shan was no longer a child, so he would definitely know about his parents 'affairs. naturally, he would also know about the conflict between his parents and qiao jiusheng and her husband. qiao jiusheng's emotions were a little complicated. she nodded and replied, " yes. "

fang shan responded with an "oh."

qiao jiusheng looked at the child, fang shan, and was curious about what he was thinking.

fang shan could roughly guess what qiao jiusheng was thinking. he said, " i don't hate you. "

qiao jiusheng's expression remained unchanged.

fang shan said again, " the winner is king and the loser is vilified. i understand this logic. i won't comment on whether my parents are good or bad, but i can guarantee that i will do things with a clear conscience in the future."

fang shan turned to the side and looked up at qiao jiusheng. he smiled and said, " grandma said that my name was given by my father. " kindness is a very simple word. i understand my father's hopes for me. he didn't ask me to be rich, he only asked me to be kind for the rest of my life. he's not kind and has done many bad things. even if he regrets it for a moment, there's no turning back."

"when a person can't turn back, even if they know that the path they're taking is wrong, they can only grit their teeth and continue walking with their backbones. because if you don't continue, you will fall, you will fail, and you will fail at the last step."

"i don't approve of his way of doing things, but i understand his way of doing things. he can't be a good person, so he wants me to be a good person." fang shan's smile disappeared, and his young and handsome face became serious. he said solemnly, " i will do as he wishes, live well, and have a clear conscience. "

he would live on with the blood of those two people and live on for his brother who was abandoned by his mother when he was born.

after sending fang shan home, qiao jiusheng sat in the car alone, lost in thought for a long time.

why did this child make her heart ache so much?

qiao jiusheng stared at the door to xu pingfei's house and almost jumped out of the car on impulse. she wanted to run into the house and tell fang shan that he was not alone and that he had a brother who was still alive. the child abandoned by their mother did not die. he was still alive!

qiao jiusheng held back.

if that child knew the truth about his abandonment, he would definitely be very sad. and could fang shan calmly accept the fact that his brother was still alive? qiao jiusheng was not confident, so she did not tell him in the end.

...

after all these years, fang zicheng's control of his powers had improved. most of the time, he would actively block out those noisy inner voices. as long as he wanted to, he could hear the voice of everyone he came into contact with at any time.

that night, after fang zicheng had his dinner, he jogged with his younger brother on the track outside dragon harbor in their sportswear. fang zicheng, who had been running alongside fang zikai, suddenly slowed down.

realizing that his brother had fallen behind, fang zikai turned back to look at him and asked, " brother, what's wrong? are you tired? do you want to rest for a while?"

fang zicheng shook his head. he stared at his brother's face for a moment before saying, " i have something to do. i won't run anymore. you can run on your own. "

"oh."

after saying goodbye to fang zikai, fang zicheng returned to the villa community.

...

binjiang city, southern city, luoyang district.

a drunk man pushed the door open. in the house, there were some leftovers on the table. this man was only forty-two years old this year, but he was very dispirited and reeked of alcohol.

lu zhongyi walked to the table and sat down. he picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of the leftovers. disdainful of the poor taste, lu zizun spat out the food in his mouth and scolded, " damn woman, the rice you cook is getting worse and worse. "

yan juan, who was hiding in the room, heard his scolding, but she didn't say anything. in the end, lu zengqing lost his job. later, he found a job as a truck driver and earned seven to eight thousand yuan a month, which was barely enough to support the family.
