On Zhen Xuxu's birthday, her father and mother booked a very exquisite Japanese food shop in the commercial center to celebrate her birthday.

There are sushi, eel, foie gras and other dishes on the table, and there is also a very cute birthday cake with heart cream

Her father was a business executive, wearing glasses and a black suit. He looked like a gentleman.

"Dad, this is a kid we met in school, who was admitted to Beicheng University this year."

Zhen Zheng politely said to Qiu Li, "Hello, thank you for coming to celebrate my daughter's birthday."

"By the way, junior brother, we don't know your name yet!"

"My name is Qiuli."

After saying these two words, his gaze swept Ren Xian.

The expression on Ren Xian's face did not change at all, she put a piece of eel in Zhen Xuxu, and said to him: "Xiao Li, don't be restrained, eat more."

She doesn't seem to remember him at all, as if there is no Qiu Li in her memory.

Only unimportant people will disappear into memory at will.

To her, he is an insignificant person.

Qiu Li didn't know how he felt at this moment.

Disheartened.

It doesn't seem to be, he just can't feel anything.

It's like killing a bird when he was a child, watching the frail life in his hands little by little, he was indifferent.

His stress protection mechanism...seems to be activated again.

No sorrow, no pain, no heartbreaking.

Qiu Li pounded a small piece of foie gras on the dinner plate with long slender chopsticks. The thin point of the chopsticks slowly prodded the surface of the foie gras, and there was greasy seeping.

Zhen Xuxu saw that he didn't seem to have any interest in foie gras, so he ordered another **** ramen and sent it to Qiu Li.

"Try it, their **** ramen is a must, so you are sure to fall in love with it."

Qiuli numbly ate a piece of noodles, but still had no taste or feeling.

"Is it delicious?" Zhen Xuxu looked at him expectantly, and saw that he didn't respond in a daze, thinking he was too restrained, and gave him a piece of sushi: "Or you can try this again."

Upon seeing this, Ren Xian said, "You let Xiaoli eat it by himself."

"Okay." Zhen Xuxu said relievedly: "Don't be too restrictive. Although we met for the first time today, we will be friends in the future, just be casual."

At this time, the waiter put the candles on the cake, and Zhen Zheng raised the tea cup and said, "Happy birthday to our daughter. I will be a real big girl in the future. We must continue to work hard."

Ren Xian also toasted and laughed: "I hope you read more, stay up late, and you must go to bed before ten o'clock."

Zhen Xuxu pouted and said: "Mom, you really embarrass me... Haven't you ever heard that you don't do to others what you don't want? I often stay up late and talk about me."

Zhen Zheng knocked on her daughter's head and said angrily: "Mom stayed up all night to write a paper, and you stayed up all night to play with your mobile phone.

"No, I'm also for writing, okay! I want to be a writer!"

Qiu Li looked at the joyous and warm scene in front of him, feeling like an outsider.

He was originally an outsider, even though the woman in front of him was his mother, she couldn't remember him at all. To her, he was just a stranger.

Zhen Zheng looked at Zhen Xuxu dozingly, and said helplessly: "You, you are a twenty-year-old girl, and she looks like a child."

Qiu Li looked at Zhen Xuxu and asked, "Are you twenty?"

Zhen Xuxu shrugged: "Yes, I'm older than you. Logically speaking, you should call me sister."

The word "elder sister" suddenly hit Qiu Li's heart, Jiang Yu's gentle face appeared in his mind, and his numbness gradually eased.

His chest began to ache tightly, and his breathing became so difficult, his hands were tightly clasped with chopsticks.

"You are twenty..."

Qiu Li was only eighteen years old, in other words, his mother only had him after she had Zhen Xuxu.

How could this be, how could...

Could it be that she and dad are having extramarital affairs?

She already has a family with children?

No, it doesn't make sense, it shouldn't... Where is the problem!

Qiuli's mind was confused.

He decided to stop thinking and guessing. He must ask clearly and ask Ren Xian why he left so cruelly, was it just because he hurt the little animal.

He has changed. He never did that again. Will his mother still accept him?

Qiu Li looked at Ren Xian with a bit of bitterness in his throat, and asked, "Do you really remember me?"

This question made Ren Xian startled: "Huh?"

"Qiu Shao, do you remember?"

This is the man's name. Even if Qiu Li pronounced it now, he felt these two words sting his tongue.

Qiu Li suppressed the physical nausea and continued to ask: "Don't you remember it at all? I am his son, and I am yours too..."

He didn't have the courage or confidence to say those two words, there was only a little glimmer in his eyes, and he looked at Ren Xian hopefully, hoping that she would recognize him.

Ren Xian reacted for a long time, exclaiming: "Are you Xiaoli?!"

Qiu Li breathed a sigh of relief, his tight expression relaxed a lot, the corners of his mouth were about to rise, but suddenly Ren Xian said, "You are Doctor Qiu's son! My God, I haven't seen you in so many years, you are so big! "

"Doctor Qiu's...son?"

Qiu Li was stunned for a while.

Seeing that they actually knew each other, Zhen Xuxu couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, do you know him? What's the situation, please make it clear!"

"It's been almost ten years. During that time, I was writing a doctoral dissertation. I was under great pressure. I always had insomnia until dawn at night. I was recommended by my colleagues. I heard that Dr. Qiu is very good at hypnosis, so I went to see Dr. Qiu. Help me see, after every hypnosis, I can sleep for a while."

Qiuli's brain "buzzed" as if an ancient lonely bell was violently ringing.

His whole world seemed to be shattered.

Headache is splitting.

There are sporadic clues, slowly crawling out from the cracks in the memory.

Yes, yes, every time my mother comes over, she only rests in the office.

Qiu Li’s small room is next to the office. Every time he finishes the thousands of complicated puzzles on the table, his mother will wake up, then come to his small room to look at him, touch his head and say: It’s amazing. Such a complicated puzzle can be completed in two hours."

That's right, he remembers it clearly, there is no problem!

So where is the problem...

He continued to look back in his mind, trying to restore all the details of the year-

Mom especially likes the tender yellow skirt, the color like a small daisy.

Mom always said to her softly: "Xiao Li is really good."

His mother also told him several Olympiad questions.

In front of that man, his mother always respected him, calling him: "Doctor Qiu..."

My mother often took a nap in his consultation room, and she was very energetic after waking up.

Every time my mother finished taking a break, she would pay her father and asked him: "Where did Xiaoli's mother go?"

The man’s answer seems to be...

Difficult to give birth and died.

"boom."

The colorful bubbles in the air burst.

In that second, the whole world collapsed.

She is not a mother...

My mother is dead, and died of dystocia.

Because of the lack of maternal love, Qiu Li subconsciously regarded this woman who had come to ask her father as her own mother, and has been deepening her memory for so many years.

Even...I believe it!

"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Ren Xian asked him tenderly, seeing that his face was not so good, "Did you think of unhappy things?"

Qiu Li didn't answer, he couldn't hear the outside world at all, he was completely blocked.

Zhen Xuxu said: "So, my mother is actually a patient of Qiuli's father! This is really fateful!"

"Yes, Doctor Qiu..."

Zhen Xuxu paused. Whenever she thought of this man, she couldn't help being afraid for a while.

When I first saw him, he was gentle and amiable. Who would have thought that closing the door could do such a cruel and perverted spiritual torture to his own son.

When she saw the news of his imprisonment in the news, she was so cold and sweaty that she suddenly realized why the little boy looked so lonely and shameless.

She still remembered that on the last day of the treatment, the little boy caught a dead bird and showed it to her.

She seemed to criticize him harshly, saying that he shouldn't be treated cruelly to small animals.

The little boy seemed to be crying.

After the treatment, she never had a chance to see him again.

"Auntie is really happy to see you so good today!" Ren Xian said emotionally to Qiu Li, "It's great."

Her soft voice has been completely blocked from the harsh eardrums.

boom!

Another colorful bubble burst.

All his efforts, all his hopes, and his self-confident future are being shattered one by one.

boom!

boom.

boom.

boom…

The only trace of decency that remained supported him and finished the meal with difficulty.

But Qiu Li didn't know how he persisted to the end, he couldn't perceive anything, he just chewed the food mechanically.

After bidding farewell to the family, Qiu Li walked down the street with his hands in his hands.

At the beginning of the lights, night fell, and his mind was completely empty.

The pedestrians on the street, the busy traffic, the noisy siren, the hawking of the small vendors... everything is isolated from his world.

There was a dessert shop in front of him, Qiuli walked in with sluggish steps, and ordered a large poppy cake.

The dessert girl looked at him secretly, and finally Hot gave him a cup of bubble tea.

Qiuli sat on a chair on the side of the street and looked at the people passing by without expression, as if looking at an animal without emotion.

He opened the small box of pop cakes.

"Wow!"

A stray dog ​​barked fiercely, looked at the cake in his hand, and showed a fierce look---

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Qiu Li raised his mouth and waved to it: "Want to eat?"

The dog rushed to him immediately.

He stretched his leg lazily and kicked it flying.

"Wow!"

The stray dog ​​screamed, never dared to bark at him anymore, and ran away with its tail in between.

Qiu Li didn't feel anything when he looked at its escaping figure.

He grabbed the pop cake directly with his hands and tasted it. Just like on the dining table, the entrance was just a pile of substances, and he couldn't taste any taste.

It was too far, too far from Jiang Yu, he couldn't feel anything.

The world closed the door to him again.

He began to swallow guts, mouthful and face covered with cream, filling his stomach like a robot crazily.

Many people around him looked sideways and cast strange glances.

Qiuli gulped the cake while dialing the phone to Jiang Yu.

"Call me now." The girl's gentle voice came with angrily: "You haven't contacted me all day today! You thought you forgot to have a girlfriend."

The moment she heard her voice, Qiuli's tongue suddenly regained consciousness.

Salty and bitter taste.

He vomited the cake in his mouth and realized that the original taste of tears was so bitter.

I was already in tears in the reflective glass of the opposite window.
