Chapter 170: Four Years Later
Four years later......
Autumn in Edinburgh.
After several days of rain, the weather finally cleared up and the sun came out.
Cheng Xunxi got up early in the morning, and the first thing he did was to go to the laundry room to dry out all the wet clothes. After lunch, she went out with her handbag.
Having lived here for more than two years, she loves the city's rich culture, but not the city's vagaries of weather.
She proposed to Chen Yujian many times to change the living environment, but he always ignored it. Otherwise, tell her, "Wait, wait, and we'll go back." ”
This was said a year ago, and when he said it for the first time, Cheng Xunxun was nervous, so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night, and somehow, deep down in her heart was a little resistant, but she knew that she had to go back and touch the deep and ugly scar on her neck. She understands that there are things that must be done.
Although she doesn't remember everything from the past.
Cheng Xunchun went out for more than an hour, and when he came back, he only had a large bouquet of flowers and potted plants in his hand, and when he returned to the door, he found a man sneaking out of his head at the door.
She stopped, looked at it carefully, recognized the person at once, smiled lowly, and shouted in that direction, "Sun Jie." ”
Hearing the sound, Sun Jie jumped down from the window and looked in the direction where the sound came from, Cheng Xunxun only showed half of his face. I saw that he struggled to free out a hand and waved at him.
"Why did you buy so much?" he said, glancing up and down. Took the two potted plants she had hung on her wrists.
"It's pretty. ”
"Come on, can you let go of these flowers and plants, and how long you will live after you get them, you don't know in your own heart. ”
Cheng Xunxun ignored his broken mouth, and only asked: "Why are you here again, you don't need money for the ticket." ”
"Hey, hey, I haven't been here for two months since the last time, isn't that afraid you'll forget me. ”
The two walked to the door of the house, Cheng Xunxun put the bouquet in his hand on the ground, took out the key from the handbag, and said with a smile: "I forgot the past, shouldn't it hurt my brain." It's not that you have a bad memory, although you can't be a person, but you call me every day, trying to forget you, it should be a difficult thing, right?"
"Not necessarily. You are an ungrateful person by nature. I'll tell you......"
Cheng Xunxun didn't wait for him to speak, pushed open the door, bent down to pick up the bouquet on the ground, glanced at him, and said, "Got it, I know that before my brain was injured, I promised you to marry you." ”
"Then what are you going to do, you see that you have been out for so long now, and you don't say anything at all. Or, you don't like soft ones, you like hard ones?" Sun Jie followed behind her.
Cheng Xunxun walked to the restaurant, put the bouquet in his hand on the table, and suddenly the whole person squatted down, directly dodged Sun Jie's outstretched arm, took a step to the side, separated a little distance from him, and said: "You put all these here, I will find a place to put it up later, you go to the living room to sit, I will pour water for you." ”
"You're not tired after taking the plane for so long, can you go to your room for a break. Speaking of which, it's really time for you to come today, it's been raining for many days, and it's rare to have a sunny day, so you're here. ”
Sun Jie naturally wouldn't let her go so easily, followed her into the kitchen, Cheng Xunxun dodged a few times, and finally he was pushed in front of the glass table from behind, saying, "Otherwise, how can I say that I am your little sun." ”
Cheng Xunxun turned his head sideways, took a knife in his hand, pointed at it, and said, "Little Sun, can you go to the living room first?"
Sun Jie quickly avoided it, snorted twice, and said, "White-eyed wolf, I doubt that you are using amnesia as an excuse, shouldn't you fall in love with me again if you lose your memory?"
"Damn, don't tell me you're in love with Chen Yujian now? Cheng Xunxun, if you dare, I will break your legs. ”
Cheng Xunxun took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, and said, "No, no, I've told you a few times." I said, wait until our matter is settled, why don't you understand people. ”
"And, as far as I'm a defective product, do you really want it?"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Jie stepped forward, stopped her waist behind him, firmly buckled her whole person in front of him, forcibly forced the knife in her hand, threw it aside, pinched her chin, and said with a smile: "Who said that you are defective? I will find someone to beat him." ”
Cheng Xunxun suddenly looked at Sun Jie very seriously, "What do you like about me?"
"I like ......"
Before Sun Jie's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, "What are you doing?"
Sun Jie glanced back when he heard the sound, and at some point Chen Yujian stood silently at the door of the kitchen, looking at them with a smile, "Sun Jie, you don't have to call me when you come, I'll go over and pick you up in person." ”
Sun Jie didn't care about Chen Yujian's sudden appearance, anyway, it had been many times, and there were very few opportunities for him and Cheng Xunxun to be alone, and the longest time was no more than three hours, which was still before. In the past year, calculating the time, he has hardly been alone with Cheng Xunxun.
Sun Jie can more or less feel that Chen Yujian did it on purpose, but he has nothing to avoid, now Cheng Xunxun is single, and he tried his best to get people out of prison at the beginning, and the agreement between him and Cheng Xunxun will not be ruined because of Cheng Xunxun's amnesia.
No one can stop his thoughts, and now even his father can't, let alone this mere Chen Yujian.
His hand was already around Cheng Xunxun's waist, and he said with a smile: "I'm familiar with the way, I don't need you to bother, you are a busy man, how can I be embarrassed to trouble you." ”
"Although you are familiar with the way, but the reception is still necessary, in my eyes you will always be my honored guest, and I still need your care in Luancheng, how can I be lazy. ”
Cheng Xunxun reached out and pulled away Sun Jie's hand on her waist, gently pushed him, and said with a smile: "Go to the living room and sit, I'll pour you a cup of hot water, you haven't sat down until you entered the door, aren't you tired? ”
"Listen to you. Sun Jie pinched her nose, and walked out of the kitchen obediently, and Chen Yujian followed him to the living room.
Cheng Xunxun made two cups of tea and went out.
The relationship between the two was quite good last year, and I don't know what's going on this year, since last year's New Year, when Sun Jie was slightly drunk, he almost forced her, and was stopped by Chen Yujian, who came back in time, the relationship between the two has been strange.
Not good, not bad, neither lukewarm.
In the past few years, Sun Jie's official luck has been very good, and he served as the governor of S Province last year, and he was in the limelight. is comparable to Sun Ao back then, this son was his biggest headache earlier, and now this son has become his pride.
The relationship between the two fathers and sons is also becoming more and more harmonious and harmonious.
After Cheng Xunxun was in prison for a year, Chen Yujian appeared in front of Sun Jie, and after some discussion, coupled with the power of Cheng Xunxun's biological father Yu Xuejun, Cheng Xunxun was released from prison in the second year.
Yu Xuejun took care of everything for Cheng Xunxun in Edinburgh, and as soon as she went out, she was escorted by Sun Jie and let her go to Edinburgh with Chen Yujian.
Chen Yujian's investment vision is sharp, he took over Yu Xuejun's branch, and through Yu Xuejun's consent, since the beginning of this year, he has begun to prepare to open a branch in Luancheng to completely open the Chinese market.
Yu Xuejun's career is booming in Europe and the United States, but it is still a little weak in China, and he didn't spend too much effort to open a gent here, and now he is just making the final decision, and most of the things are taken care of by his sons.
For generations, they are all businessmen, and all the men in the family are businessmen, and they are very principled, they have rods and scales in their hearts, what should be done and what should not be done, and they always keep a clear head without being reminded by others.
Even if you encounter an opponent in the business field, you will stop at the point, do not hurt others or yourself, do not let others suffer big losses, and will not let yourself do a loss-making business.
So it is not unreasonable that the Yu family's business can be so big.
In fact, Yu's industry is still all over the world, but he is low-key and famous. Therefore, most of the people in the upper class know his name, and most of the common people are very unfamiliar with him.
Yu Xuejun occasionally came to see Xun Xun a few times, and when he saw her, his eyes were full of pity. In fact, he thinks that it is not a bad thing to let Shun Shun lose his memory, and she will forget the previous events so cleanly, which shows that she herself does not want to remember the previous events.
No one wants to remember unhappy things, and most of her past is unhappy memories, so she just forgets about it.
He rarely told her about the past, always told her about the future, asked her to look forward, and probably the most correct sentence was, "Do what you want to do and feel happy, don't be too attached to the past." ”
Cheng Xunxun likes to chat with him, feels friendly and has no pressure, but he doesn't come often.
Most of the time, Chen Yujian was with her, and Chen Yujian told her why she was in prison, told her what her identity was, and also told her who the ring the prison guard gave her when she was released from prison and what it represented.
Cheng Xunxun sat at the desk and looked at the notepad, which was pasted with some domestic newspaper clippings, and every once in a while there would be such a small book sent from China.
And the above are all reports about Zhou Yanqing, big and small, and some photos taken secretly by private detectives.
Chen Yujian will give it to her after reading it, there are a total of six books in her drawer, she will take them out and flip through them and take a look.
There are reports on business and some on his private life, but there are very few.
Cheng Xunxun turned to one of the pages and stopped, on it was a personal photo of Zhou Yanqing, which was very clear, it was rare to have such a photo.
There was no expression on his face, his chin was slightly raised, he always had a feeling of looking at the world and not taking anyone in his eyes, he was very proud, and he looked cold-blooded.
Cheng Xunxun stared at it for a long time, and didn't even hear a knock on the door, until Chen Yujian walked to her side and knocked lightly on the table, she suddenly came back to her senses, closed the book with a little reflex, looked up at him, smiled lightly, and said, "When did you come in? Why did you walk silently, it scared me." ”
Chen Yujian glanced at him, took a step back, sat down at the end of the bed, and said, "What do you remember?"
"Huh?" she replied blankly.
"You were so fascinated by it just now, did you remember something about Zhou Yanqing's past. Chen Yujian said patiently.
"Nope. She shook her head, "But I know I must have something very important to get back." ”
"Looking at his picture, you don't feel it at all?"
Cheng Xunxun was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, didn't you say that I have a bad relationship with him? But he really looks very annoying like this, and he drags it like something, and he didn't get these by robbing a woman's things. The domestic media also praised him to the sky. ”
"Yes, he's very powerful now, everyone has to look at his face, and he doesn't take anyone seriously. ”
"Really? Then we ......."
"I'm here to remind you to remember to lock the door when you sleep, Sun Jie looks like a gentleman, but he is actually a villain. Maybe the monkey is in a hurry, so he ......"
"No, it won't. Cheng Xunxun smiled low and said, "Besides, if I really had such an agreement with him at the beginning......
"You can come out so quickly, it's not all up to him, you don't have to take that kind of agreement to heart. ”
Cheng Xunxun glanced at him, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Actually, if he really doesn't dislike me for being a defective product, I really think he's actually pretty good." ”
"When I lost my memory, he was the only one who came to see me, encouraged me and comforted me during my time in prison. When I came out and stayed in Edinburgh, a plane of more than ten hours, he said he would come. "Bloody.
"I'm amnesia, I'm not stupid, I know who's good for me and who's bad. It's new to do something like this for a day or two, but it's really hard to do it for that long. So ......"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Yujian interrupted her coldly, "Now is not the time to talk about this, I thought you didn't have the heart to think about this at all." I didn't expect you to really think about it. There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Cheng Xunxun's smile stiffened slightly, and then he restrained his smile and said, "I know in my heart, isn't there nothing wrong now, just talk about it casually and chat." ”
"I hope so, I think you're as serious as you were. ”
"This is not Sun Jie's status, if you don't appease him, it won't work, right?"
Chen Yujian was speechless, but his expression was a little colder than just now, and when the words fell, the room fell silent, and no one spoke. After a while, he stood up and said, "You rest early, I'm out." ”
When he went out, he suddenly stopped, Cheng Xunxuan didn't stop for a while, and the whole person hit his back.
Chen Yujian stretched out his hand to stop her waist, stabilized her body, and said, "Distracted again." ”
"Why did you stop all of a sudden? ”
Cheng Xunxun struggled slightly, took a step back, and kept a certain distance from him.
"When you're not strong-willed, think about the wound on your neck. He slipped one hand in his pocket and raised his hand to touch her neck.
Cheng Xunxun paused, his neck stiffened, his fingers were slightly cold, and he touched her neck, like an electric shock. She reflexively avoided it.
Then he raised his hand and scratched his neck, and said with a smile: "Every morning when I get up, before I go to bed at night, I have to read it again, and I won't forget it." ”
"Good night. ”
Cheng Xunxun smiled and said, "Good night." ”
When he went out, Cheng Xunxun closed the door.
She went back to her desk, took the notebook and flipped through it, put it in the drawer, brushed her teeth, and was ready to go to bed when there was a hint of movement outside the door.
Because she locked the door, there was a knock on the door, and Sun Jie's voice came through the door panel, "Xunxi, why did you lock the door." ”
Chen Yujian's room was next door to Cheng Xunxi, and when Sun Jie shouted outside, he also heard it clearly.
The eyes that originally fell on the books suddenly raised their eyes, looked at the closed door, and couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully to the movement.
Cheng Xunxun just lay down, hurriedly got up, and went over to open the door.
"I said, why are you in such good spirits, you haven't slept and taken medicine yet?" Cheng Xunxun leaned on the door frame, and the whole person blocked the door, obviously not giving Sun Jie a chance to come in.
"Why are you still locking the door? Are you really afraid that my overlord will be forced to bow down?"
"No, I always have a habit of locking the door when I sleep, you think too much. What's the matter with you, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to work tomorrow. ”
"I'm here, what class are you going to. I also go to work with Chen Yujian, I told him to accompany me tomorrow. It's rare for me to come here, and I'm going back the day after tomorrow, so I can't go if you don't accompany me. Sun Jie said, reached out and pushed her shoulder, and walked directly in.
With a bang, he closed the door, and Cheng Xunxuan broke away from his hand, "You are enough, Chen Yujian is next door, and the sound insulation here is not good." ”
"I'm still afraid that he won't make it?" Sun Jie raised his eyebrows, hooked her chin awkwardly, and then walked to the desk, his eyes swept over the table.
picked up the photo frame, on which was a photo of Cheng Xunxun and Chen Yujian, he sank his face and said, "Why do you put this kind of photo?"
"Oh, the photo frame is beautiful, you can't just put a photo frame and not put the photo, right?"
"I don't have any other photos, I have to put a group photo. ”
Cheng Xunxun glanced at it and said, "This one is the best-looking, I have very few photos, basically all of them are group photos, and it was not easy to find such one." ”
"Changed. Sun Jie couldn't help but dismantle the photo frame and took out the photo, but before Cheng Xunxun could react, the photo was torn in half by Sun Jie, which just separated Chen Yujian and Cheng Xunxun.
"Hey!" Cheng Xunxun snorted, "What kind of nerves are you having! This is my photo, why did you tear it up!"
"I'm not happy. There shouldn't be such a photo!" Sun Jie directly threw half of Chen Yujian on the ground.
Cheng Xunxun immediately picked it up, glanced at him, frowned, and was somewhat angry, put the photo on the table, spread his hands, and said, "Give it to me." ”
Sun Jie put his hand in her palm, held it directly with his backhand, and said with a smile: "What is this for, I should take the initiative to do this kind of thing." ”
Cheng Xunxun smiled bitterly and struggled hard, but Sun Jie held her hand tightly and refused to let go, "Okay, I know that you actually have feelings for me, if you want to hold hands, just say it directly, don't listen to Chen Yujian's nonsense in the future, listen to me, you know?"
"Sun Jie, do you want to be ashamed! ”
Sun Jie didn't say a word, and with a little force, he pulled her directly in front of him, stopped her waist with his other hand, and leaned over with a face.
Cheng Xunxun hid back, for Sun Jie's intimate behavior, Cheng Xunxun is now immune, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, he only frowns, don't look over, and say, "Let go." ”
"Don't let go. She played a scoundrel, touched her cheek with the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "If you want me to let go, let me kiss it, or you can kiss me, you choose." ”
"There is one more option. ”
"There are only two options, you choose. ”
Cheng Xunxun suddenly smiled, turned his head sideways, and met his gaze, the two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing.
Sun Jie put away the energy of his hippie smile, and just looked at her stupidly, his expression was serious and serious, and even his breathing slowly broke out of rhythm.
The distance between them was very close, so close that Sun Jie could clearly see the fluttering of her eyelashes, as well as her wrinkled little expression, and her eyes flowed. The pale lips pursed and rose obliquely, with a little playfulness and excitement.
Sun Jie's throat moved slightly, he couldn't control it anymore, and when he saw her lips open slightly, he kissed her directly.
The moment his lips touched hers, Cheng Xunxun's eyes widened, and he didn't expect him to really kiss him. Although Sun Jie always makes intimate gestures to her, there is very little substantive progress like this, except for last year's New Year, when the two of them drank a little too much, and he kissed him in a momentary distraction.
Cheng Xunxun didn't resist, if it wasn't for Chen Yujian's timely appearance, they were afraid that they would have come to this place that day.
After that day, Sun Jie took her for granted as his woman, treated her like his girlfriend, was attentive and proactive, and sent this and that every time he came.
Cheng Xunxun didn't want it, he just threw it away, whether it was a diamond or a gemstone, he threw it away, and Cheng Xunxun didn't dare to say a word of no.
People's hearts are flesh and blood, for Sun Jie, it is false to say that he is not moved, but he is more grateful, as for feelings, Cheng Xunxun can't say it, he always doesn't like it or hate it, he exists like a brother.
Cheng Xunxun actually didn't tell him that when she was drunk and Sun Jie kissed her, some vague pictures flashed in her mind. It was like a dream, in which she was drunk, and the man's kiss in the darkness was warm and a little crazy, confusing her mind.
She couldn't break free, so she grabbed a book on the table and knocked on his head heavily, until Sun Jie let go, she quickly broke away, took a few steps back, kept a certain distance from him, wiped her mouth, and was about to speak, Sun Jie didn't say a word and bullied up, and quickly grabbed her hands and pushed her directly against the wall.
lowered his head and bit her lip, Cheng Xunxun pursed his lips tightly, gritting his teeth to prevent his lips and tongue from encroaching in. However, today's Sun Jie seemed to be obsessed, and after trying a few times, he stopped, looked down at her, and said in a dumb voice: "Ten years, open up." ”
Cheng Xunxun didn't speak, pursed his lips, looked up at him, made a few sounds, and struggled hard, trying to break free from his shackles.
However, she tried her best to feed, but her hands were buckled against the wall again, and her body firmly pressed against hers, so that she could not move, and she did not even have a chance to struggle.
He stopped talking, only lowered his head and bit her lip directly, Cheng Xunxun closed his eyes and held back silently, Sun Jie held her hands, slowly went up, raised directly above his head, clasped her hands with only one hand, and pinched her jaw with the other hand, and opened his mouth with a hard force.
