Chapter 674: Impact
Jiang Zhiyuan's face overlapped Jiang Se's memory, but his tone and demeanor were diametrically opposed to the person in her impression.
There was no longer anger in his eyes, and there was even a little caution in his gentleness, and there was a little restraint.
The real Jiang Se is thinner than her on the screen, the coat wraps her slender body, and she has a backpack strap on one of her small shoulders, even if the bag is not heavy, but he always wants to share some of it for her.
He shook the hand in his pocket, felt a mobile phone that was still ringing, took it out, looked at it, and threw it hard to the side of the road without thinking.
The phone was thrown far off the beach, rolled a few times and then landed on the sand, and you can still see the flashing lights.
Jiang Se glanced at it, he moved his lips, and explained in a loud voice: "It's useless anymore." ”
His eyes fell on his daughter's face, this was the first time he really saw her as an adult, not through newspapers and magazines, not through news videos, but through her real standing in front of him, so that he could see the eyebrows and eyes similar to his own, and inherited his long body.
This meeting was different from the time when he met her downstairs in the IMAX theater when "The Lost City" was released, he no longer dodged, but stood calmly in front of her, his eyes could depict her appearance, and her image was firmly engraved in his heart.
The phone was useless in the first place, and the reason why I didn't throw it away was just because I had a little bit of thought in my heart.
He once used this number to call Jiang Se, maybe in his heart, he also imagined that one day Jiang Se would think that the non-talking call was strange and would call it back.
thought it was just a dream, but Jiang Zhiyuan really didn't expect that this dream would come true.
Jiang Se not only called back, but also made an appointment to meet him, and what he got that day was more than he longed for.
He turned his body sideways and gave way to a path up the mountain behind him:
"Let's take a walk. ”
Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes had too many things, Jiang Se lowered her head and mustered up the courage to take a step forward, she didn't look at his face, so naturally she couldn't find the smile on his face at this time.
The way up the hill was fairly clean and quiet, except for the sound of the two men walking, and the rustle of the waves crashing on the shore and the wind blowing through the bushes and grass.
The two didn't speak all the way, Jiang Zhiyuan was used to silence, he had too many things to say to others in his early years, but years of imprisonment made him accustomed to having something in his heart, and over time, he became a taciturn person.
Jiang Se didn't know what to tell him, a person who had kidnapped herself and almost killed her, many years later, she was reborn as his daughter and took possession of the body of 'Jiang Se', and the person who almost killed her at the beginning became her father, and there are some things in the world that are really difficult to explain.
After walking like this for a long time, the sun showed a corner of the sky, and the dawn illuminated the sea level, and also illuminated the road ahead.
Jiang Se's forehead and nose were covered with sweat, she didn't walk fast, but she could walk with Jiang Zhiyuan, which still brought her a lot of psychological pressure, she buried her head for a while, feeling that something was wrong, and when she looked up, she found that Jiang Zhiyuan's shadow was gone.
She was taken aback, turned sideways to look, but saw that he was nearly ten meters behind her, still holding his hands in his pockets, and his pace was still not in a hurry or slow.
"Are you tired?"
She took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her cheeks, while standing in place and waiting for Jiang Zhiyuan, she asked.
Pei Yi's mobile phone in the bag hadn't hung up yet, obviously listening to the movement here, she picked up the phone and tried to call Pei Yi, and quickly got his response.
Jiang Zhiyuan shook his head, of course he was not tired of this journey, he just walked behind, watching her stride forward, full of vitality.
Through Jiang Se at this time, he thought about her when she was a toddler, and she has walked so steadily, is it related to the previous fall and fighting.
In this case, he couldn't ask, and he didn't have the qualifications, and for the first time he regretted that his rash behavior back then had made him lose the joy of growing up with her.
He missed every moment of her growth, didn't hear her look like when she called 'Daddy', didn't know how many times she fell to learn to 'walk', and didn't know how she stumbled to get to where she is now.
But he liked the steady pace of her now, and he was always pleased to see her face the direction of the rising sun, all the way forward.
It's not that he can't walk anymore, he just wants this road to be shorter.
He knew what he had done, and he knew what kind of fate he would have, not long after she called to make an appointment to meet him, he received a constant call message from the Feng family.
Jiang Zhiyuan knew what this meant, and the Feng family would find a way to open up the permission joint and locate his address through the network.
It is very likely that if this road is not finished, the people of the Feng family will appear, and there is no need to wait for the people of the Feng family to appear, her husband will arrive first and take him away.
He wished that time would stay at this time, but she tilted her head to look at him, her cheeks were slightly red, and there were beads of sweat on the corners of her forehead and the tip of her nose, with a somewhat delicate look, completely defenseless.
"It's supposed to be halfway up the mountain. ”
She took a deep breath, the crisp wind poured into her mouth, making her refreshed, at this time the time is still very early, the genius will be bright, maybe the morning jogger has just left home, no one bothered this way, the earliest scenery was left to her and Jiang Zhiyuan.
He nodded, regretting that the road was too short.
Jiang Se waited for him for a while, but saw that he was still standing in place, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from her, and the breath in his heart was slightly relieved.
She turned to look to the other side, and beneath the verdant mountains were the cascading tall buildings, and the bay was surrounded by jewels.
The morning sun spreads over the sea, and it is a beautiful scenery.
Pei Yi should have been on the way up the mountain, she took her mobile phone and talked to him, telling him to slow down and not be in a hurry.
She knew that Pei Yi was worried about her mood, and in order to calm his heart, she didn't turn off her phone all the way, but there were some things that she needed to face and solve by herself.
She and Jiang Zhiyuan did not hurry forward, and those who came for the morning jog and the tourists who went up the mountain exceeded two people, and they had already run to the top of the mountain.
The road was more crowded, and it was not as quiet as before.
When the two arrived at the top of the mountain, it was already more than three hours later, the sky was completely bright, and there was already the sound of people talking in front of the square on the top of the mountain.
Jiang Se found a corner where there were few people and sat down, and Jiang Zhiyuan also sat down about a meter away from her.
"It's better at night here than it is now. ”
Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly spoke, and Jiang Se was a little surprised.
The scene of getting along with him was not as terrible as she imagined, the laughter of the people around and Pei Yi's uninterrupted phone call undoubtedly made her feel at ease.
As she went, the sky grew brighter and the opposite of the dark cabin she remembered, and his attitude made her realize that he was just an ordinary person, not an invincible nightmare.
He can talk, sweat, and breathe.
Jiang Zhiyuan didn't get Jiang Se's response, but he didn't care, he had a lot of things to say to Jiang Se, even if she showed a strange expression, it was more likely that she didn't want to listen, but he was afraid that if he didn't say it, he would never have the opportunity to talk to her again.
"It's a pity that I didn't take you to see it later, at night, the lights of the harbor over there are on, and you can take a cable car. ”
In fact, he has never sat on this thing, and during this time, he always saw tourists with their families holding the hands of their children and family members, or surprised or frightened, and he was a little envious.
Such an opportunity may not be available in his life.
Jiang Se didn't say anything, and listened to him continue:
"Actually, I've met you before. ”
"I know. ”
Jiang Se lowered his head, "A few years ago, in the IMAX theater, I talked to Feng Nan once. ”
Jiang Zhiyuan was stunned, and couldn't help but smile, Jiang Se looked up at him:
"Did you want to kidnap her again from then on?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was still laughing, she was very serious, and her eyebrows wrinkled:
"Are you doing all this because of me?"
He pursed his lips and didn't speak, but it was clear that Jiang Se was guessing the truth.
"You don't understand," she said, clenching her hands into fists against her stomach, her body bent, her face pressed against her knees, and her hands hidden:
"I don't need you to do it. ”
Her body shrunk into a small ball, and the muscles on Jiang Zhiyuan's face tightened, wanting to reach out to comfort her, but she was not qualified to do so.
His lips moved, and he moved a little further away from her, afraid that if he was too close to her, he would dislike her.
"I'm just a very selfish person who doesn't like to owe people and I don't like people to owe me. She lay on her stomach for a while, tears soaking the fabric of her pants on her knees, and she went through her bag again and took out a tissue from it:
"Feng Nan does harbor ill will towards me, but this is not the way to solve it. ”
If her smooth sailing life in the future will be realized by Jiang Zhiyuan's kidnapping of Feng Nan, then she may not be able to be at peace for the rest of her life.
She couldn't watch a life disappear because of her relationship, and she couldn't let Jiang Zhiyuan make up for his 'daughter' in this way.
She got 'her' body and got the life she wanted, she rushed back to stop Jiang Zhiyuan, not to save Feng Nan's life, nor to put herself in danger because of Feng Nan, in addition to not wanting to take a life for no reason, she also had a feeling of indebtedness to 'Jiang Se'.
There are some things that 'Jiang Se' can't say anymore, but she can do it all.
She is still afraid of Jiang Zhiyuan and can't treat him as her father, but she also doesn't want to see him take risks and do wrong things in order to solve the trouble for 'herself'.
"It's not right, no one has the right to hurt others. She raised her head and bravely looked directly into Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes, not flashing or evading, in order to show her determination: "The choices and things that everyone has made will bring many influences and changes to the future." ”
She is, and so is the original 'Jiang Se'.
Thinking about it carefully, if there is no rebirth, according to the original life trajectory of 'Jiang Se', she lives in an environment like the Du family, her mother is cowardly, Du Changqun is extremely disgusted with her, beating, scolding and repairing at every turn, developing her perverse and violent character, she can't get the warmth of the family, she can't get the care of her parents, she is squeezed out by her half-siblings, and she wants to get ahead wholeheartedly.
Perhaps, just like 'her's original plan, she gave up studying at the age of seventeen, entered the society, and entered the entertainment industry as 'her' originally envisioned.
Whether 'she' is good or not, Jiang Se doesn't know, but from the fact that 'she' can know and form a grudge against someone like Feng Nan, she can probably guess something.
Just imagine, if Jiang Zhiyuan hadn't done anything wrong at that time and taught his daughter personally, the original 'Jiang Se''s childhood would not have been so miserable, no matter how difficult the days were, it would not have been difficult for her to become what she was when she was reborn.
"I just want to clear the way I have done you. ”
After Jiang Se's words were finished, Jiang Zhiyuan was silent for a long time before he spoke.
He is the last person in the world who wants to see her cry, but it is himself who makes her cry at this time.
Some 'influences', which are so easy to remove, Jiang Se hugged himself, he kept looking at Jiang Se, his eyes were extremely deep, and there was a kind of complex emotions intertwined with despair and hope trapped in his eyes:
"Do you hate me?"
"I know I'm not qualified, but I'd still like to hear you call me." ”
When he said this, his eyes became a little fragile, full of hope, and he looked at Jiang Se with a look of pleading.
The girl lowered her head and pursed her lips, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally became silent, like a pool of stagnant water, which could no longer make waves.
His expression was so calm that it was almost wooden, and after a long time, he laughed, the voice was a little desolate, a little sighing, and it seemed to be a little regretful, and it seemed to be very clear that he had guessed such an ending.
He sighed, patted the dust off his body, stood up, and glanced into the distance.
Jiang Se followed his gaze, and Pei Yi came from a distance at some point, looking at the two people sitting on this side, unable to take his eyes off it.
Feng Zhongliang, who was furious, leaned on crutches and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan coldly, his momentum was undiminished, reminding Jiang Zhiyuan of the old man who led the police to break into the door.
He was a little relieved that there were two people who cared about his daughter like this, he looked at Pei Yi calmly, looked at him appreciatively, and asked Jiang Se:
"This is Pei Yi?"
The moment she saw Pei Yi and her grandfather appear together, her eyes lit up, and the last trace of the haze about the kidnapping in her heart was slowly dispelled with the appearance of these two people who cared about her, she nodded and responded:
"Hmm. ”
"Is he good to you?"
Jiang Zhiyuan saw her expression, his mood was a little complicated, he was both happy for his daughter, but also a little sour, he already knew Pei Yi's identity, knew what kind of family the Pei family was, and understood how good Pei Yi was.
But he doesn't care about this, all he cares about is whether this man is good to his daughter.
Jiang Se was a little surprised that he would ask this sentence, but he vaguely understood the meaning of Jiang Zhiyuan's question.
This feeling was a bit unfamiliar, and she couldn't quite adapt to it yet, but she still said:
"He was very nice to me, liked me very much, cared about me, and was afraid that something would happen to me. ”
