The clouds stopped talking.

I said, "what's the matter?"

"I got up early this morning and went to the distribution station to deal with something. After dealing with it, I came directly to the company. It was only about 6:00 at that time, and there was no one in the yard. When I came in, I saw Mr. Sun's car parked by the road outside the yard, and then I saw Mr. Sun's driver walking out with a plastic bucket for washing the car. The bucket was empty. When I went upstairs, I saw that the stairway was full of water. " Said the cloud.

"Oh." My heart brightened.

"I was worried that it would freeze and slip later. I wanted to find some sand to cushion the place. As a result, I was busy and forgot." Said the cloud.

"Cloud, did you tell president Qiu about it?" I said.

"Yes."

"How did she react?"

"She just came back after being approved by the editor in chief. After listening to me, she kept silent." Said the cloud.

"Where is she now?" I said.

"In the office, I went out and bought her a box of lunch. She didn't eat it all the time. I'm afraid it's on, so I put it on the radiator. " Said the cloud.

I listened and got up, "I'll go and have a look."

"Yes." The clouds answered behind me.

I went to Qiutong's office, opened the door and saw her standing with her back to the door, standing in front of the window and looking out of the window.

Hearing the news, she turned and looked at me.

I looked at the lunch box on the radiator and said, "didn't you eat?"

"Not hungry!" Qiu Tong said.

"Eat if you're not hungry!" I said, "how about not eating!"

"Are you here to persuade me to eat?" Qiu Tong looked at me.

I breathed, "the clouds told me. The ice on the stairs is man-made. Some people know that the city / Party committee / book / record today's inspection itinerary and deliberately tampered here in advance. "

"Is that what you said to me?" Qiu Tong said.

"I think you should understand!" I said.

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Qiu Tong's voice sounded very heavy: "man, it's really tired to live. Man, why are you so tired to live. Work is tired, life is tired, being a leader is tired, and being a subordinate is also tired. Why are you so tired? "

With that, Qiu Tong sat on the sofa, supported his forehead with his hand, sighed gently, showing a very tired look.

I didn't speak. I took the lunch box, put it on the tea table in front of her, opened it, and then gently turned around to go out. Qiutong is in a bad mood at the moment. I don't want to disturb her.

"Yi Ke -" just walked a few steps and heard Qiu Tong call me. I stopped and turned around and looked at Qiu Tong: "yes -"

"Don't hurry. I want to talk to you." Qiu Tong pointed to the right sofa.

I went back and sat down and looked at Qiu Tong.

"I want to ask you something." Qiu Tong looked at me with serious eyes.

"You say." Somehow, I dare not look directly at Qiu Tong's eyes.

"You must tell me the truth!" Qiu Tong said.

"Yes." I nodded: "you ask."

Qiu Tong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He seemed to be hesitating. Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at me brightly: "Yi Ke, tell me, whose child is Xiaoxue?"

I was startled.

I knew that Qiu Tong was in a low mood just now. It was not entirely because of this morning. She was thinking about something else.

I looked at Qiu Tong and said, "isn't Xiaoxue being adopted by you now? Aren't you her mother? "

"Do you really don't understand me or pretend you don't understand me?" Qiutong's eyes are facing me: "I'll ask you again, whose child is Xiaoxue?"

I said, "why ask me this question?"

I don't know why Qiu Tong suddenly asked this.

"I can say I'm asking you, or I can say I'm asking you for confirmation. Why should I come to you? If I don't give you a comprehensive and sufficient reason, you won't say it, will you? " Qiu Tong looked at me.

I didn't say anything. I didn't know how to answer Qiu Tong for a moment.

"First of all, Li Shun came back from Japan. You know this, but you didn't say it, and how did I know it? It's because Li Shun went to the kindergarten to see Xiaoxue. " Qiu Tong continued.

As soon as I heard it, Li Shun went to see Xiaoxue again. He didn't inform me this time.

"If Xiaoxue didn't inadvertently say that she went home to eat agen Dazs, if I hadn't asked her who took her, if I hadn't seriously warned her good child not to lie, if Xiaoxue honestly told me that Li Shun took her, I might not have thought of asking about those things before."

Qiu Tong continued: "last night, I asked all my brain about Xiaoxue. You took her out a few times before. Including that time to discover the Kingdom, including catching crabs on the island, including the people involved, including Li Shun and some of her words and deeds. I asked Xiaoxue about the detailed process. "

As soon as I heard it, Xiaoxue confessed that she didn't abide by the hook agreement with Li Shun.

Xiaoxue is frank and lenient. Do I want to follow suit?

I said, "what do you feel?"

Qiu Tong said, "I feel unusual. Also, listen to the aunt who picked up Xiaoxue that day. In the kindergarten, Li Shun went to see Xiaoxue. She stood not far away. Suddenly, she saw Li Shun holding Xiaoxue tightly. She couldn't help but say a word: bitter child, dad is sorry for you. You are the only bone and blood in the world.

What does that mean? What does that mean? In short, these things happened, I can't help but think of Li Shun's indifference to Xiaoxue. Suddenly, such a big turn makes me think deeply.

What's more, the attitude of Li Shun's parents towards my adoption of Xiaoxue in my office changed dramatically that day. What does this mean? What happened during this short period? What made them change so quickly? Just as you said, because of your words? Do you think your words have so much force on them? "

I looked at Qiu Tong foolishly.

Qiu Tong continued, "do you think I have no brain? Do you think I won't think about these details and changes? Although I have some strange hunches about myself, the facts are facts after all, and I can't help thinking about some things.

In most of the process of Li Shun's contact with Xiaoxue, you played the role of middleman. I don't think you can say you were unaware of it? I even have enough intuition to doubt that you already know whether Xiaoxue and Li Shun really have anything to do, but you haven't told me. "

Qiu Tong's voice was not loud, but he looked at me intently, as if he wanted to see something from my expression.

I looked at Qiu Tong straight and hesitated whether to tell Qiu Tong. If I told Qiu Tong, I would have failed to abide by Li Shun's discipline. However, I really don't want to continue lying to Qiu Tong. I have lied to her enough. Every lie and every lie is undoubtedly a wordless injury to Qiu Tong and a whip to my soul.

"Yi Ke, I hope to hear you tell the truth. I don't want to think you are a good liar. " Qiu Tong looked at me with a pursed mouth, as if he had seen through my mind.

Looking at Qiu Tong's clear eyes, I finally made a decision, nodded, looked at Qiu Tong and said slowly, "yes. Yes, Xiaoxue is indeed Li Shun's own daughter. "

"Ah -" Qiu Tong let out a slight exclamation and took a breath. Although she had been prepared, she was still surprised by my words. The look on her face looked very shocked.

"Is this true? It turned out to be so... "Qiu Tong muttered to himself, with an incredible expression on his face:" is this possible? Is this... A fantasy. This... Is unimaginable. This... Is a coincidence. "

"Yes, it sounds fantastic, fantastic, unimaginable and coincidental. However, this is true, and the facts cannot be changed. " I looked at Qiu Tong and said, "Li Shun once went to the hospital for DNA identification with Xiaoxue's chewing gum. The results show that Xiaoxue is his biological daughter."

Qiu Tong looked confused and shocked and murmured, "Li Shun's biological daughter... Li Shun... He was married. What about... Xiaoxue's biological mother? Why has Xiaoxue become an outcast again? "

Qiu Tong looked at me with wide eyes.

"Qiutong, I'll tell you everything I know about Xiaoxue." I said.

Qiu Tong nodded.

So, I told Qiu Tong all about Xiaoxue's life experience from beginning to end. From Li Shun's understanding of the girl sitting on the stage to Xiaoxue's birth and abandonment, from Xiaoxue being picked up by the homeless elderly from the dustbin to meeting Qiu Tong and me in Qingdao, from Li Shun's parents to Li Shun's crazy search for children, I went to Japan angrily.

Qiu Tong listened carefully. His eyes were filled with surprise, shock, doubt, tears, helplessness and sadness.

When I finished, Qiu Tong covered his face with his hands and buried his head deeply.

After a while, I heard her voice: "ruthless society, cruel reality, cruel people's heart, sinful soul. Poor children, suffering children, innocent children, lucky children. "

Qiu Tong's voice choked and trembled.

After a while, Qiutong raised his head and looked at me: "I have found the answer to all the questions about Xiaoxue before. Yi Ke, thank you. Before, you didn't tell me about Xiaoxue. I guess Li Shun didn't let you say it. He doesn't want me to know his glorious history. "

"In fact, you are very keen. Even if I don't say it, you have guessed about it. Light snow is unfortunate, but lucky. At least, she has a loving mother and her own father. Her mother now loves herself more than her own mother. She is really lucky. "

"Today, you let me confirm my guess. It turns out that you still have such a big thing to hide from me. If I didn't press you today, would you never take the initiative to tell me? "

"I don't know. I don't want to, but I can't help it. "

"No way. Yi Ke, do you still have a lot of helpless things to hide or deceive me? "

I looked at Qiu Tong and didn't speak.

"Sometimes, no way is a good reason, but more often, no way is just an excuse to deceive yourself and others." Qiu Tong said, "one person, you can deceive the whole world around you, but the only thing you can't deceive is your own heart."

I suddenly remembered the floating life in the air, the words in the virtual space, and the cruise ships on the Yalu River.

"Qiu Tong, don't force me. I don't want to live with a mask. " I said it with difficulty.

Qiu Tong immediately stopped talking and said softly, "I'm sorry."

I looked at the heavy snow dancing silently under the cloudy sky outside the window and said: "Qiutong, remember what I said: one day, I will restore my true self in front of you! A completely true self! "
