Qiao Ye's funeral was scheduled to be three days later. Qiao Boyuan became ill since he came back from the hospital that day. Qiao Lexi has been depressed. Qiao Yu endured the grief and prepared for several days. Except for losing his composure in front of Ji Sixuan that day, he no longer dared to show a stalemate in front of his father and sister.

The temperature was very low and the weather was gloomy. Many people came one after another. Qiao Baiyuan and his children stood aside and returned the greeting.

Wen Shaoqing and Xiao Ziyuan's family arrived very early, all wearing black clothes. Even the little Xiao Yunxing was wearing a small black suit. After the ceremony, he hugged Qiao Yu's legs and called Uncle Er.

Qiao Yu's eyes were covered in gray. He touched his head and forced a smile, "Be good, Uncle Er is a little dizzy, so I won't hug you."

Xiao Yunxing nodded obediently and waved his hand at him, "Well, Uncle Second, you squat down."

After Qiao Yu squatted down, Xiao Yunxing tiptoed and patted Qiao Yu's head with his little hands, muttering, "Don't be sad, second uncle, second uncle, be good..."

Qiao Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hugged Xiao Yunxing, unable to say a word.

Xiao Yunxing pointed to the other side, "Pretty sister said, I won't be sad if I do this, but why are you crying?"

Qiao Yu looked over and Ji Sixuan stood with a group of people from the architectural firm and smiled at him.

There was no longer any resentment or entanglement in her eyes. It seemed that everything had passed, and her smile was as bright as the flower before.

Not long after the funeral began, Qiao Lexi couldn't help but hugging Qiao Yu and cried until she collapsed. He was also infected, and his heart was sad. He soon turned red from his eyes, but he forced himself to turn his head aside and patted Qiao Lexi on the back, "Okay, okay, I just gave birth to a child, and always crying is not good for health."

While saying that, he greeted Jiang Shengzhuo, "Come and coax her, I'll go see your father."

Qiao Boyuan sat motionless in the lounge. A trace of fear suddenly appeared in Qiao Yu's heart. He touched him carefully and said softly, "Dad, are you okay?"

Qiao Boyuan quickly came back to his senses and rubbed his temples, "It's okay, sit down."

Although Qiao Yu knew how pale and powerless this sentence was, he still opened his mouth and said it, "Dad, don't be too sad."

Qiao Boyuan sighed, "Well, I'm not sad. In fact, being a father and son is fate, but everything will end, and we have to part sooner or later. But I didn't expect it to be so early, nor did I think that he would leave first. But after thinking about it, it's nothing. He will suffer a day of torture when he is alive, and leaving early is also a relief. I am his father, and I can't do anything for him anymore."

Qiao Yu suddenly felt unable to breathe, so he comforted Qiao Boyuan for a while and then left the lounge. While standing by the window to breathe, he met Xiao Ziyuan and Wen Shaoqing.

Xiao Ziyuan handed him a cigarette, but Qiao Yu didn't answer it, but instead said with a smile, "I won't smoke anymore. My brother said smoking is not good for health and I won't smoke anymore."

Xiao Ziyuan saw Qiao Yu's smile so reluctantly for the first time. He always smiled gently and sincerely and warmly. Seeing him like this now, he didn't know what to say.

Wen Shaoqing patted his shoulder and said nothing.

Qiao Yu quickly laughed, "Okay, I'm going to go there, I'm not at ease if there is no one over there."

Ji Sixuan kept watching from afar, watching him stand for a day and return the favor one by one, watching him smile and talk to the guests, and watching him with a smile, but he was obviously on the verge of collapse, but he forced himself to comfort his father and sister. As the pillar of the Qiao family, he was responsible for everything, and his slender and upright figure seemed to have suppressed a lot of things, not just responsibility.

This man is so gentle and quiet, which makes her feel happy, but it is also tolerant and makes her feel distressed.

After the funeral, Qiao Yu arranged for someone to send Qiao Boyuan back to rest, and asked Jiang Shengzhuo to take good care of Qiao Lexi. Then he stood alone in front of Qiao Ye's portrait for a long time. He looked up at the smiling face in the black and white photo, his eyes full of childhood.

In the summer when the cicadas chirped in the breeze, the two brothers were locked up in their grandfather’s study to practice calligraphy.

"Brother, I don't want to write anymore, I want to go out and have fun!"

Qiao Ye looked carefully at the door, then took out a few pieces from the stack of papers written and handed them over, "It's not easy to be discovered when I'm stuck in the middle. I'll write twenty pieces immediately. I'll write for you after I finish writing."

Later they grew up slowly...

"Brother, how do you do this question? Can you teach me if you can?"

"Brother, I want to apply for the Department of Architecture. Can you tell me if you are good?"

"Brother, I like a girl. Do you have time to meet her?"

...

The past came to my mind. Qiao Yu looked at the smiling face in the photo frame, pulled out a hard smile, and said tremblingly, "Brother, you can walk all the way, I will take good care of my dad and sister..."

Ji Sixuan stood outside the door without going in. She leaned against the wall beside her and looked at the sky in the distance. The dark clouds pressed down heavily and slowly floated. Soon she felt a drop of coldness on her face. She stretched out her hand into the air. Is it going to rain?

"Why don't you go in?"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him. Ji Sixuan turned to look and saw Lin Chen who was covered in dust.

She glanced at Qiao Yu's figure and pursed her lips, "He doesn't need anyone to accompany him. He probably wants to wait alone with his brother."

Lin Chen probably rushed back from abroad after receiving the news, with a look of fatigue, "Junior Sister Ji, sometimes you give people a feeling of being arrogant and disdainful of knowing what others think. He is too lazy to be perfunctory, not care about the details, and is lazy and unruly. But sometimes it makes people feel that your heart is as meticulous as dust, gentle and delicate, and has a rose in your heart."

Ji Sixuan's eyes turned and looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Senior Brother Lin praised me so much, are you afraid that I will expose you who you came here deliberately so late in order to hide?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. When he looked up, he saw Ji Sixuan raise his chin. He looked in the direction she signaled. Wen Shaoqing stood in the light rain and looked at him, perhaps she had been waiting for a long time.

Qiao Yu did not have any worrying behavior. After the funeral, he still went to and from get off work normally after a few days of rest.

A few days later, Ji Sixuan made an appointment with Qiao Yu to meet by the lake.

When Qiao Yu arrived, Ji Sixuan was standing by the lake to flew water. When she heard the footsteps, she turned to look over.

Qiao Yu was a little surprised, "How do you make an appointment to meet here?"

Ji Sixuan pointed to the house not far away and asked, "Do you think it's familiar?"

Qiao Yu felt strange when he came here just now and nodded.

Ji Sixuan reached out to him, "Did you bring the key?"

Qiao Yu handed her the key that Qiao Ye left to her, and then saw her walking over and opening the door, standing in front of the door and calling him.

Qiao Yu suddenly understood something, walked in slowly, and when he passed by the garden, he remembered what he had said to Qiao Ye back then.

"Brother, I will definitely build a house in the future. There must be a large garden in front of the house. Watch the flowers in spring and enjoy the moon in autumn, and enjoy the cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. The lighting in the house must be good. You can see Ji Sixuan smiling at me in the sun at any time."

"Who is Ji Sixuan?"

The sound in my memory slowly rang out, and Qiao Yu traveled through time and space and replied softly, "Ji Sixuan is the person Qiao Yu wants to protect his life."

His voice was extremely low. Ji Sixuan walked in front and didn't hear it clearly. He just called her after hearing his name, "Hmm?"

Qiao Yu smiled and shook his head.

After passing the garden, I opened the door and entered the house. All the designs in the house were familiar. They were his ideas, and they all came from that drawing, the drawing that he gave up halfway through drawing.

Ji Sixuan stood in front of the high bookcase wall and explained, "At that time, your brother brought a drawing to me. The drawing was only half drawn, and he wanted me to make up for the other half. I just felt that the drawing felt very familiar, but I didn't know it was your brother..."

Ji Sixuan told him everything related to Qiao Ye. After saying that, she suddenly felt that Qiao Ye was really a good brother. If she were Qiao Yu back then, she would have made the same choice as him.

At that moment, Ji Sixuan was shocked by her thoughts, and then she suddenly realized her heart. The haze accumulated in her heart over the years disappeared in an instant, leaving only the bright tenderness of her heart.

After that day, Qiao Yu seemed to be feeling better, but Ji Sixuan was leaving.

As the project comes to an end, the people from the firm gradually retreat. Xu Bingjun and Wei Xin went back a few days ago to take over the new project. Because Qiao Yu has not returned for a long time, she has to delay until this day.

Qiao Yu did not say he could keep her, and Ji Sixuan didn't say when he would come back.

They are no longer young, time flies, and in the gentle years, not only are the red cherries and green bananas, but also the tolerance and compassion of each other. Back then, he couldn't bear to give up her dreams for himself, so how can he say this now? Although he just keeps her, she will not leave again, after these things, she also understood his mood, and understood the other party's guilt and distress for giving up for himself.

The new project that Ji Sixuan took on after returning was very difficult. After staying up for a few nights, she had to fly to the construction site. She got up too early in the morning and had a split headache. She jumped all the way with her temples. She called her boarding pass and walked towards the security checkpoint. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. She stood in the airport lobby where people were coming and going, and suddenly didn't know where she was and what she was going to do. She opened her eyes wide and tried hard to find the markers that could be identified. During the search process, she slowly remembered, oh, this is at the airport.

Over the years, she has been running around the world. Sometimes when she wakes up in a hotel in the morning, her first question is to ask herself, where is this and has no sense of belonging.

Before taking off, she sent a text message to Qiao Yu and then turned off the phone.

Qiao Yu, I'm tired, I want to take a break. I said I miss you, so come to see me, okay?

After getting off the plane and arrived at the hotel, she slept in darkness. When she woke up, she rolled her quilt and rolled in the bed a few times before she got out of the quilt. She touched her phone and looked at the time, and then went to see the latest news reminder records.

Qiao Yu did not reply.

Maybe it's a meeting.

She sighed, scratched her head and sat up, and then saw Qiao Yu sitting on the sofa opposite the bed.

She rubbed her eyes and asked silly, "Am I not awake yet?"

Qiao Yu laughed in a low voice, bent over and stroked her eyebrows, "Ji Sixuan, I'll pick you up home."

How long has it been since no one called her name so solemnly?

She could no longer remember.

She has been abroad so many days and nights and has fantasized countless times that Qiao Yu would suddenly appear in front of her and say to her, "Ji Sixuan, I'll pick you up home."

Ji Sixuan was not moved at all and continued to ask stupidly, "How did you come in?"

Qiao Yu smiled but refused to answer.

Ji Sixuan suddenly felt relieved, sighed and opened her hands, "Come here and hug me."

Qiao Yu hugged her in his arms as he said.

She threw herself into Qiao Yu's arms and took a deep breath, and suddenly spoke in a hard voice, "Say sorry to me."

Qiao Yu did not ask too much and apologized solemnly according to her request, "I'm sorry."

Ji Sixuan continued to ask, "Say you love me."

Qiao Yu felt a little funny, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Sixuan buried her arms and replied in a muffled voice, "Qiao Yu, I miss you."
