When Chu Zhaoheng was fifteen years old, he was kidnapped into the Cui family and worked as a teacher for an eight-year-old young master.
The young master's name is Cui Chengming. He loves to laugh and insists on getting into his bed at night.
Chu Zhaoheng was pressed into his hair and softly touched his face. He smiled even more happily and crawled into his arms:
"Brother's hair smells good."
Later, the Northern Expedition invaded Shandong, and Cui Chengming was thrown onto the battlefield at the age of fifteen.
Before leaving, he gave Chu Zhaoheng a key: "If I can't come back, just take the money and leave."
Chu Zhaoheng did not leave. He waited in the yard for three days, until a man covered in blood walked in, stood motionless under the moonlight, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Brother, many people died."
That was the first time Cui Chengming was afraid. It was also the first time that Chu Zhaoheng was helpless.
Later, there was civil strife in the Cui family, and Cui Chengming's eldest brother proposed that "only people with the surname Cui be left in the house."
Cui Chengming pointed the gun at Chu Zhaoheng, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "... Brother, let's go."
Chu Zhaoheng smiled and pressed the muzzle of the gun for him, and touched his head, just like he did ten years ago.
"Goodbye, Chengming."
He was gone for a whole year.
When he came back, Cui Chengming squatted in the yard and looked up at him, as if he had met him for the first time when he was eight years old.
"Brother, you keep your word."
——You are my Zhaozhao, and I am your Ming.
