Half an hour later, Min Hui returned the computer to Xin Qi: "It's fixed."

"Dropbox?"

"It can be used, you can help you climb a wall."

"Yeah." He quickly closed more than a dozen windows and returned the computer in his hand to Min Hui, "Thank you."

He was sitting beside her, and the faint citrus scent was still on his body. In a trance, she felt like she had walked into the fruit forest again.

However, he didn't plan to talk to her much, typed like a fly, and focused on answering emails. After a while, he turned around and glanced at her, found that she was silently dazed by the side, and handed her his mobile phone: "Can you fix this?"

"Let me try."

"Power-on password 0627," he said casually.

Min Hui's face turned pale, and a chill went down her spine. She imagined the number repeating countless times on his fingertips, and what flashed at the same time was the back of Su Tian taking off the lifebuoy and jumping into the Mushui River.

The two monitors that captured Su Tian were far away from her, so she couldn't see her face at all. The most clear thing was the back. Like her, he must have watched it back and forth many times, trying to find clues.

The day Su Tian disappeared was June 27th.

It seemed that Xin Qi didn't plan to forgive her for the rest of his life.

She glanced at him quietly, making sure that she thought too much, and reporting these numbers was just an unintentional move. Xin Qi was concentrating on replying to work emails, typing fast, never pressing the delete button.

His iPhone is silver-gray, the latest model, without a protective case or film, it feels very thin and slightly heavy, and there is still his body temperature on it. She touched the screen with her hand, and two cracks were thrown from it by him. She pressed it lightly, and a blue screen appeared. Insert the USB into the Itunes mode, after the machine restarts, the screen lights up and enters the normal page.

"It's ready to use." She returned the phone to him, and he took it and threw it next to the computer. He continued typing and asked, "It's late, go back."

After speaking, he glanced at his watch: "It's almost eleven o'clock."

"It's twelve o'clock," she corrected. "Is your watch North American time?"

He took another look and said, "It should be Beijing time, but it seems that this watch is broken too."

"Mechanical watches can also break?"

Everything on Xin Qi is not cheap, and the watch is no exception.

"Falled a few times." He took off the watch and put it in her hand, "Take it."

Su Quan likes clocks. She thought he didn't want them anymore and gave them to Su Quan as a toy. Just as she was about to thank him, he said, "You can fix it."

Seeing that she didn't say a word for a long time, he said, "Since you can repair computers and mobile phones, you must be able to repair watches, right? You are the descendant of craftsmen and artists, and you must have strong hands-on ability."

"I have repaired a few... classmates' watches before."

It was an ordinary watch, with a silver dial and a black leather strap, with four small dials inside. She had never heard of the brand. The hands stopped, and she patted the case hard: "Maybe it's stuck somewhere. There's no screwdriver, just go home and fix it."

"Repair slowly, don't rush."

"This watch...isn't it expensive?"

"Not expensive."

"If you can't put it back together after dismantling it, you... won't you get angry?"

"I'm sure I'll be pissed," he said coldly.

"Then...then you should ask a professional to repair it."

"I want you to fix it."

"..."

"If you can't fix it, buy an identical one to compensate me."

"Xin Qi, you are a little unreasonable," she said aggrievedly, "I didn't break this watch."

"This watch is the day I found out that I had a son, and I threw it when I was thinking about the toilet."

Min Hui was stunned for a moment, and asked with concern, "Xin Qi, are you constipated?"

His face suddenly became green: "If you want to repair a watch, why is there so much nonsense!" After that, he continued to type.

Min Hui sat silently for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said softly, "By the way, I have a few photos of Su Tian's life, which I got from her circle of friends. Have you seen it?"

The sound of the keyboard suddenly stopped, and he suddenly came over with a chair: "Su Tian's life photo? I haven't seen it. Where is it? Let me take a look."

Among the fifteen photos in the circle of friends, only five have Su Tian's headshot, two full-body photos, and three selfies, all of them high-definition. Min Hui wanted to send these photos to Xin Qi on the day they broke up four years ago, but Xin Qi blocked her and never sent them. thought that with Deng Chen's investigation ability, should be able to get it, but Xin Qi didn't expect to see it.

She sent all the photos to his mobile phone, and he immediately held it in his hands and stared at it eagerly.

"Before Su Tian disappeared, he used to work in Lanjin Pavilion. Have you been to that place?" Min Hui asked.

"I've been there. One summer three years ago," he said. "Deng Chen took me there. It's a pity that the Rankin Pavilion has been demolished."

"Demolished?"

"It has become a Cantonese restaurant. The proprietress married a Brazilian Huaqiao and settled in South America. The population in Guangzhou is fast, and there is no list, and the former working girls can't be found. I also asked Xiao Wan of Xunqin.com I said that I mainly communicated with Su Tian through private messages and phone calls. I don't have WeChat myself, so I know that the circle of friends is only a matter of the last two years..."

Sure enough, when he talked about Su Tian, ​​he talked a lot, and he soon realized that, seeing Min Hui supporting Yi, listening intently, he suddenly lost interest again, and stopped abruptly before he finished speaking. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the photos on his phone.

Look very slowly, fifteen pictures for thirty minutes. Wherever Su Tian appears, it zooms in and out repeatedly...

"Has she changed from before...?" Min Hui asked.

"How do I know?" He gave a wry smile. "I had poor eyesight at the time, and I never saw her face clearly. Sometimes I couldn't even tell the face from the face."

"She's lively and chatty."

"She was very introverted and didn't talk much. Because I couldn't see, she treated me as a blind person. She was used to using her voice to describe everything, and gradually she became a talkative girl."

"She complained about your bad temper in her diary."

"That's because her temper is too good." He said lightly, "If a person is too temperamental, the sharks around him will come to take advantage of it."

"So you are one of them?"

"I'm a dog by her side. Anyone who dares to treat her badly, I'll rush up and bite immediately."

Min Hui felt sad for a while: "You're right, I stole her life."

He sighed: "I also stole it, it's a conspiracy."

She froze.

"I learned very late that the Browns who adopted me originally wanted to adopt a girl. Because they already had a son, who was also adopted from China, my brother Eric. The Chinese government's adoption procedures are very strict, and they waited. It took a whole year to see Su Tian, ​​who was recommended by the orphanage. Unexpectedly, Su Tian suddenly changed his mind and said that there is a boy who needs to be adopted. She is reluctant to go to the United States because she was abducted and sold, and she wants to stay here. Wait for Mom. The Browns will change their minds."

"Foreigners to adopt Chinese children, can't they just pick and choose?"

"It takes a long time to wait in line to adopt a healthy child, but it will be much faster to adopt a disabled child with heart disease. The teachers in the welfare home all say that I am very lucky, because the medical conditions in the United States are good, and the Brown family is very wealthy. They will definitely heal my eyes. For me, improving my eyesight is of course a good thing, but I also don't want to part with Su Tian. We had a big fight over this. Su Tian tried to persuade me over and over that the breakup was temporary. Yes, she will always wait for me and let me go back to China to find her when I grow up. Afraid that I will be sad, she will avoid seeing her on the day I leave..."

"So you wrote that letter."

He nodded, his eyes were slightly red: "For more than ten years, I have been thinking day and night, if the person who went to the United States was her, she would definitely live a comfortable life like me, receive a good education, and do not need to Working hard for a living, doing things I don't like. She left me a precious opportunity to have everything I have now. When I could repay her, she was gone..."

"I don't think so."

"Um?"

"It's important for you to get her eyes healed. It's also important for her to see her mother. You were very happy in America, and she was happy when she finally got her mother. She stayed with her and took care of her wholeheartedly. Until death, I have no regrets in my heart. You each have what you want, and no one owes anyone anything."

"No one owes anyone anything?" He raised his head and sneered, "Is this your conclusion? Min Hui, why did you die in the first place?"

"..."

"Isn't it because of Cheng Qirang?"

Her cheeks were suddenly hard, and her chin was sore: "Yes, it's because of Cheng Qirang."

"Then you're sitting on someone's lap now?"

"It's not what you think."

"I'm too lazy to think for you!" His fire came up again, "I'm not worth it for Su Tian! Look what she got for saving your life! You stick it on Cheng Qirang's body, Su Tian. Tian is dead in vain."

"I will never post again, but how did you know him?" Min Hui asked back, "Don't do business with this kind of person, he is not a good person! A liar with no bottom line!"

"A liar with no bottom line, um, are you talking about yourself?"

"I……"

He ignored her again, turned off the phone, and continued to reply to emails.

"Xin Qi, there is something I want to discuss with you." Min Hui said cheekily, "My team has a product that will be officially launched next month, some work has not been completed and needs to work overtime for 15 days, can you help me Can you take care of Su Quan?"

This is a job that she can't leave for 24 hours. The first person she thinks of is Zhou Ruji, after all, she has the closest relationship with herself. But Zhou Ruji had countless surgeries in the hospital and had to take care of his wife when he got home.

She had thought about Chen Jiajun, and it would not be difficult for him to take a half-month leave to do a favor, and he would definitely be willing, but Chen Jiajun has no experience in taking care of children at all, and he doesn't know much about being a parent, and there are still some "street teenagers" on his body. The habit of being brave and fierce, she is afraid that the child will learn badly, and she is not very relieved.

Cao Mu's husband, Yin Xu, is at home full-time, but he has two children himself. It is no problem to help him for half a day or a day occasionally, but he will give Su Quan to him for half a month... he must not be able to take care of it.

It's not difficult to hire a carer or nanny, and it's not bad for the money, but Su Quan is more receptive, and if he's not there, it's hard to get acquainted with strangers.

After all the calculations, only to ask for Xin Qi.

"I said that I would take care of him until he was discharged from the hospital. If you are too busy in these ten days, you will not use it."

"It's fifteen days."

"I live in Beijing, and I often go back to New York. If you allow the child to live with me—" He paused, "let alone fifteen days, it doesn't matter if it is fifteen years."

"Sorry, Su Quan can't leave Bencheng."

"Then what do you mean? Let me give with all my heart and get nothing?"

"right."

"How dare you make such an unreasonable request—"

"Because you're his father." Min Hui looked at the sky, "That's how responsibility is. Once you carry it, it's on your shoulders. You can't throw it away if you want to."
