Chapter 54: Why Are You Crying?
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the surrounding people are boiling, and the light and shadow of the neon lights are brilliant and dazzling.
Jiang Yi looked at the man in front of him, his body was still tall and majestic, wearing a well-ironed suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked gentle and gentle, even his originally cold and hard face became much softer, and the whole person exuded a gentle and elegant temperament, which was very different from him at ordinary times, but it was the original appearance of him in Jiang Yu's memory.
The orange light of the street lamp fell on his dark hair, on his handsome eyebrows, and on his broad shoulders, which was obviously a warm-colored picture, but Jiang Yi felt sad inexplicably.
It turned out that what saved her back then turned out to be just a split personality of Zhong Fei.
No wonder he didn't keep his promise back then.
No wonder, he didn't come back.
For this reason, Jiang Yi also complained about him for a long time.
Even after the reunion, she found that he had forgotten himself, and took the initiative to approach him, wanting him to remember himself again, she also thought, it doesn't matter if you forgot last time, this time I will use all my power to make you never forget me.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the person seven years ago and the person seven years later were not the same.
God really likes to joke with her.
This man gave her hope to live, but what about himself?
Broken you, and scarred me, how can I hug you, my love?
The man didn't notice Jiang Yi's complicated expression, he was still in the joy of reuniting with his old friend, and looked at her with surprise on his face, "I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you doing all these years?" β
How like a simple greeting and a few greetings between friends who have reunited for a long time.
If Jiang Yi hadn't met Zhong Fei, maybe she would have said a few words to the man in front of her like an old friend, and the two of them could also find a quiet place to chat about each other's recent situation, exchange contact information, and become good friends who talk about everything.
However, it was too late.
She couldn't separate the man in front of her from Zhong Fei, just standing in front of him like this had already exhausted all her strength.
"Why don't you speak? Are you complaining that I didn't keep my agreement with you back then? The man also noticed Jiang Yi's strangeness, and he smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I encountered something ...... back then."
Jiang Yi stepped forward and hugged the man.
The man's words stopped abruptly, he was stunned, and glanced down at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't look at him, just hugged him as hard as she could, she said, "Don't say I'm sorry, you don't have anything to be sorry for me." β
The man hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and patted Jiang Yi's back, "Okay, then I won't say it." β
Jiang Yi looked up at him, and the man smiled gently at her.
At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly thought that it would be nice if Zhong Fei could laugh so much.
He always has a straight face, disguises himself with indifference and toughness, and drives away the people who try to get close to him one by one, she has also been driven away by him, it is her tenacious insistence to stay by his side, he allowed her behavior, but he refuses to take a step forward, she still thinks that it will be a long time anyway, just take your time, now it seems that if she didn't find out, I am afraid that Zhong Fei will not tell her for the rest of her life.
Jiang Yu bit her lip, suppressed the surging feelings in her heart, and tried her best to show that this was the first time the two of them had reunited, she let go of the man, the two kept a friendly distance, and she smiled at him, "I don't know your name yet." β
The man said, "My name is Gu Jianhang." β
"Gu Jianhang." Jiang Yi repeated the name, and she smiled and said, "It's a good name." β
Gu Jianhang looked at Jiang Yi but was stunned, "You...... Why are you crying? β
"Am I crying?" Jiang Yi touched his cheeks, and then he realized that he was crying unconsciously, two lines of tears hanging on his face, moist and sad.
Tears are the purest expression of emotion, she thought she had locked those emotions in the deepest part of her heart, but she didn't expect that even if she was closed, she would still sneak out of her eyes.
Jiang Yi tried to stop crying, but the tears somehow flowed more and more, dripping down his sharpened jaw.
Gu Jianhang went through the pockets on his body in a panic, but he couldn't find even a tissue, and in desperation, he had to use his sleeve to wipe Jiang Yi's tears.
He was obviously at a loss for what was happening in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Don't cry, shouldn't it be a thing to be happy that we meet again, I invite you to have supper, how about it?" β
Jiang Yi unceremoniously wiped away his tears with Gu Jianhang's sleeve, nodded and said, "Okay." β
Gu Jianhang breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked, "What do you want to eat?" β
Jiang Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, "I want to eat barbecue." β
"Let's go, then."
Two people came to the food stall, the food stall on a summer night is simply the best choice for supper, and the people here are full of people and in full swing.
Jiang Yi and Gu Jianhang found a place to sit down, ordered, and the meat skewers had to wait for a while, so the waiter brought beer over first, Jiang Yi poured a glass for herself and Gu Jianhang, and then she took the cup and knocked it on Gu Jianhang's wine glass, and said very boldly: "I toast you." β
After speaking, Jiang Yi directly raised her head and toasted, and then she poured another glass, "I'll toast you a second time!" β
Jiang Yi drank three glasses in a row, and there was still no sign of stopping, she was depressed, but she couldn't vent, so she had to borrow wine to drown her sorrows.
Seeing this, Gu Jianhang couldn't help but grab Jiang Yi's wrist, "How can a girl drink like this, she will get drunk." β
"I'm drinking well." Jiang Yi said: "You are not ......"
He was halfway through his sentence, but he stopped abruptly.
Gu Jianhang asked, "What's wrong with me?" β
Jiang Yi looked at this face, and had to desperately restrain herself to resist the desire to touch him, she bit her lip, smiled abruptly and said, "It's nothing." β
The waiter brought the skewers up, Jiang Yi chewed tastelessly, and his eyes fell on Gu Jianhang on the other side.
Gu Jianhang feels very much like a knowledgeable, gentle and elegant rich son, with polite manners, wearing glasses, eyebrows and eyes slightly drooping, slow and orderly when eating, and his every move reveals a good upbringing.
Finding that Jiang Yi was staring at him for a moment, Gu Jianhang stopped his movements, wiped his mouth with a tissue, reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Jiang Yi with a gentle face, "Why don't you eat, keep watching what I do?" β
Jiang Yi asked, "What have you been doing all these years?" β
Gu Jianhang said: "I have been studying in school for the past few years, and I just graduated recently. β
"And who's in your house?"
Gu Jianhang seemed a little puzzled why Jiang Yi asked him these questions, but he didn't ask much, and replied obediently: "Father, mother, and sister." β
Jiang Yi was a little surprised, "You still have a sister?" β
Gu Jianhang nodded, "Hmm." β
Jiang Yi was a little puzzled, whether this was Gu Jianhang's own fantasy family, or the family that the original Zhong Fei had before he lost everything.
Gu Jianhang asked, "What about you?" β
"What?"
"Do you still live with your mother? Is she getting better? β
Jiang Yi shook her head, she took a sip of wine, and narrated plainly, "After I came out of the hospital seven years ago to recover from my injuries, I took my mother to Jiang Bingkun's house and asked him to make up for everything he owed to my mother, and then I sent her to a nursing home and let her receive treatment, but it has been ineffective. β
Gu Jianhang fell silent after hearing this, he felt a little unbelievable, although he knew that Jiang Yi was already a very strong girl who could take charge of herself at a young age, but she was just a powerless little girl after all, not to mention that she also had a mentally abnormal mother, how could she go to the Jiang family to seek justice, since Jiang Bingkun did those things back then, he was naturally a ruthless person, how could he accept Jiang Yi so easily.
He looked at Jiang Yi and stopped talking, Jiang Yi bit the skewer and skipped the topic directly, she asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" β
The topic changed a little quickly, Gu Jianhang was a little late to react, he was stunned and asked, "What are you asking for?" β
Jiang Yi put aside the finished skewers, raised his eyes to look at Gu Jianhang, and tapped his fingers twice on the table, "Yes or no?" β
Gu Jianhang knew that he couldn't beat Jiang Yi, and replied, "No." β
Jiang Yi continued to ask: "Then do you have someone you like?" β
"Not either."
"What type of woman do you like?"
Gu Jianhang paused and asked, "...... Are you investigating? β
Jiang Yi said: "You can also ask me, I don't mind." β
"......" Gu Jianhang was speechless.
Jiang Yi smiled, "I don't mean anything else, just ask casually as a friend." β
Gu Jianhang snorted and didn't speak again.
After the two of them finished eating supper and left the food stall, Jiang Yi asked, "Where do you live?" Do you need me to drive you back? β
Gu Jianhang said: "You just drank alcohol, you can't drink and drive." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I'll call a car to take you back."
"No need, I'll just find a substitute driver."
"That'll do fine."
When they were separated at the intersection, Jiang Yi and Gu Jianhang stood face to face, her eyes fell on the man's face, which was mixed with very complex emotions, Gu Jianhang thought she was reluctant, so he rubbed her head and comforted: "We are friends, let's keep in touch in the future, there will be a day when we will meet again." β
Jiang Yi didn't know what to say, so he had to nod.
Gu Jianhang stopped a taxi and left.
Jiang Yi stood in place, the streets were crowded, but she had a feeling that she didn't know where to go.
She took out her mobile phone from her bag, found Zhong Fei's phone, and then clicked to dial.
"I'm sorry, but the phone you made is off."
Jiang Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, knowing what the result was, she was still stupidly hoping that everything just now was just a dream, she was too naΓ―ve.
This night, Jiang Yi didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and then she had a bizarre dream.
She dreamed that Zhong Fei was standing in front of her, caressing her cheeks affectionately, but in the next second, he put on glasses on his face at some point, and said to himself: "I'm Gu Jianhang, I'm the one who saved you seven years ago, how can you confuse me with him?" β
At the same time, Zhong Fei's voice also sounded in her ears, "I am Zhong Fei, I am desperate to rescue you from the wine cellar, the person who has been associated with you has always been me, and I am the person you love the most." β
Saying that, the two of them also grabbed her arm one by one, and they both wanted to drag her in their direction, Jiang Yi felt that he was about to be torn in half by the two of them, but they were still pulling desperately, and finally Jiang Yi couldn't help it, so he shouted, "Enough!" β
At the same time, Jiang Yi finally woke up from the nightmare, she sat up suddenly, sweating profusely, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face, turned her head to look out of the window, the sky was shining outside, and the rising sun was looming in the rolling clouds.
Jiang Yi glanced at his watch, it was already five o'clock.
She felt like she had just been fished out of the water, her nightdress was soaked with sweat, she lifted the covers, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
Taking off the clothes on his body, Jiang Yi turned on the shower, and then propped his hands on the wall, letting the warm water wash himself from top to bottom.
After taking a bath, the sticky feeling on her body was much better, Jiang Yi changed into a white shirt and wore a pair of jeans underneath, she sat in front of the mirror, and found that her face was ugly, and her hair was messy, and she looked like a female ghost at first glance.
I don't know if she was also like this when she had supper with Gu Jianhang yesterday.
As soon as she thought of Gu Jianhang, Jiang Yi felt very uncomfortable in her heart, the pain of her body being torn apart in her dream still made her palpitate, Jiang Yi patted her cheek and told herself not to think so much.
When he went out, Jiang Yi looked at the keychain in his hand, the chubby little Zhong Fei was smiling happily, his fingertips rubbing his round cheeks on it, Jiang Yi decided to take a look.
Yesterday, she didn't actually get any news from Gu Jianhang, and she also wanted to know if Zhong Fei was still Zhong Fei now.
Jiang Yi drove to the downstairs of Zhong Fei's house, she took the elevator to the top floor, at this moment her heart was beating very fast, so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat, she patted her heart, took a deep breath, and waited until the feeling of heartbeat was a little better, and then rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened.
Zhong Fei was wearing a black shirt and trousers, the cuffs were rolled up a few times, revealing strong and well-defined forearms, the momentum between his eyebrows and eyes, his temperament was strong and cold, and he didn't see the gentle and elegant appearance of last night.
It's Zhong Fei.
Great, it's Zhong Fei.
Jiang Yi was almost in tears, her pupils trembled slightly, and she looked at the person in front of her without blinking, for fear that he would become another person if she blinked her eyes.
Zhong Fei was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yi, he didn't expect her to come over early in the morning, "You ......"
As soon as he said a word, Jiang Yi rushed over and hugged him, and she stood on tiptoe and blocked his lips.
Zhong Fei took a few steps back and wrapped his arms around Jiang Yan's waist.
The two of them fell back all the way to the sofa, Jiang Yi's hand hugged the back of Zhong Fei's neck, slender fingers caressed his warm skin, and a short stubble, she felt that there were too many things in her heart that needed to be vented, but there was nowhere to vent, so she had to express it all through this kiss.
"Uncle Zhong, who is ......?"
Zhong Yanyan's thin voice sounded on the side, Jiang Yan stopped, she raised her head, Zhong Yanyan was looking at herself with wide eyes, the little girl blinked, her cheeks quickly turned red with a degree visible to the naked eye, Zhong Yanyan "oops", and then covered her eyes, "Shame." β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Yu got down from Zhong Fei, pulled the long hair around his ears, and then looked at Zhong Fei with an innocent face.
Zhong Fei wiped his lips, because of the kiss just now, his lips were stained with a little Jiang Yi's lipstick, and he asked, "Why did you come here early in the morning?" β
Jiang Yi looked at him, she thought, it's so good, this person in front of her is Zhong Fei, it's so good.
She lowered her eyes, collected her thoughts, and when she looked up again, she smiled again, and she tilted her head and said, "Because I'm hungry." β
...... "Did you come here early in the morning to eat him?"
Zhong Fei was a little helpless, he reached out and pinched Jiang Yu's cheek, "Let's go, breakfast is just right." β
Jiang Yan followed Zhong Fei into the dining room, Zhong Yanyan looked at her nose and nose, and obediently nibbled on the sandwich in front of her.
The two sat down, Jiang Yi took a bite of the sandwich, glanced at Zhong Fei next to her, and said, "I called you last night, why did you turn off the phone?" β
Zhong Fei paused very obviously, and he said vaguely: "Something." β
Jiang Yi asked, "What's the matter?" You can't go on a date with a leprechaun behind my back, right? β
Zhong Fei smiled, "How could it be." β
"Yes." Jiang Yi leaned over, "Let me smell it and see if there is any smell of other women's perfumes." β
Zhong Fei didn't dodge, and generously let her smell it.
Of course, Jiang Yi couldn't smell anything, even if there was a goblin, it was herself, after all, the person who had supper with him last night was herself.
But she still pretended to sniff it twice, and then said, "It's okay, it doesn't seem to have lied to me." β
Zhong Yanyan's little girl was very discerning and rushed upstairs after eating, under the pretext of sorting out her schoolbag by herself, so there were only two people left on the table, Jiang Yi and Zhong Fei, she drank the milk at hand, and then looked at Zhong Fei with both hands on her cheeks.
Zhong Fei was furious when he was looked at by Jiang Yi, he always felt that Jiang Yi was a little different from the past today, but he couldn't say what was different.
He asked, "What's wrong?" β
Jiang Yi said with a straight face: "Zhong Fei, no matter what happens, don't lie to me." β
Zhong Fei was a little stunned when he heard this, and then frowned slightly.
Jiang Yi smiled at him, "I'm much stronger than you think, since I was a child, I haven't encountered anything, so in my place, you don't have any scruples, you must tell me something, it's much better for two people to share it together than to resist alone." β
Zhong Fei always felt that Jiang Yi had something to say, and he suddenly became worried, whether she would find anything, whether she should have seen anything last night.
Thinking of this, Zhong Fei suddenly became frightened.
Jiang Yi shook his hand, "Okay?" β
Zhong Fei's nerves jumped, "...... What the? β
Jiang Yi leaned over and dropped a kiss on his lips, "It's okay, I'm leaving, I still have to go to work." β
Zhong Fei looked at Jiang Yi's back as he left, he frowned deeply, could she have noticed it?
β¦β¦
Song Chengai has lived a black-and-white life almost every day since she ran the bar, but today, she didn't sleep until the evening, but set the alarm clock early, and as soon as the alarm clock rang, she got up on time, took a shower, changed into a champagne-colored dress, put on makeup, and went out with her bag.
The sun is poisonous and spicy today, and it is only morning, and as soon as Song Chengai goes out, he feels that his skin is roasted.
She got into the car, set her way, and set off.
It took only thirty minutes from home to the construction site that Zhu Zhengjia said yesterday, and when Song Chengai parked the car at the place, she stepped on high heels and got off the car, the sound of various machinery on the construction site was endless, and the dust was flying all over the sky, Song Chengai walked over, and someone immediately stopped her, and the person looked Song Chengai up and down.
Song Chengai is wearing sunglasses today, although the sunglasses cover most of her face, she should also be a big beauty judging from the exposed jaw and lips, and Song Chengai's jeweled dress is really incompatible with the construction site.
The man asked, "Is there anything wrong?" β
Song Chengai said: "I'm looking for someone." β
"Who are you looking for?"
"Zhao Hairong, the sea of the ocean, the glory of glory."
The man repeated the words "Zhao Hairong" in a low voice, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and ask you, you just stand here, don't come in casually, if something happens, you ......"
Song Chengai directly interrupted the man's words, "I'm responsible for myself, it's none of your business, okay." β
"Okay." And when he had said that, the man went in.
Song Chengai took off his sunglasses and pinned the temples to his collar, it was hard to imagine that Zhao Hairong would come to such a place.
In the past, he was also the head of Hongcheng District, Linjiang City, not to mention that people in Hongcheng District had to tremble three times, at least he was followed by a large group of die-hard fans, and people respected him everywhere he went.
Thinking of this, Song Chengai couldn't help but clench his palms.
She waited for a while, and the man came back, and he said, "There is no such person." β
Song Chengai frowned, "Really?" β
The man waved his hand impatiently, "If you say no, you don't have it, you go, this is not where you came from." β
Song Chengai was thinking about whether Zhao Hairong changed his name in order to prevent her from finding him, and in the afterglow, he saw a person wearing a hat hurriedly walking by.
Song Chengai's eyes widened suddenly, "Zhao Hairong!" β
The man paused slightly, then pulled his legs and ran.
Song Chengai is not a vegetarian either, wearing fifteen-centimeter high heels, he was stunned and chased after him quickly.
Seeing this, the man wanted to stop Song Chengai before, but Song Chengai blew past him like a whirlwind, and he didn't even touch a single hair of her, so he could only chase after him, "Eh! You can't go in there! β
Song Chengai would care about the people behind her, she only stared at the person with the hat with her eyes, "Zhao Hairong, stop me!" Do you think you can hide from me for the rest of your life, no matter where you go, I will chase you back! β
The man in the hat ran fast, and seeing that he was about to be thrown away by him, Song Chengai stopped, picked up a piece casually and threw it over, "You stop for the old lady!" β
turned his head and hit his calf, but the man's movements did not slow down at all, Song Chengai was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, his high heels stepped on a raised stone, and he fell directly to the ground without standing firmly.
The construction site was full of gravel and nails and the like, Song Chengai fell, not only broke his foot, but also scratched his palm, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The person who was chasing Song Chengai behind him said: "I'll just say I won't let you in, you see it's good now, if you fall, it's your own, and it has nothing to do with me." β
Song Chengai was angry, and scolded angrily: "Fuck you, you have to take care of my mother's affairs." β
She was struggling to get up, and a shadow fell, just enveloping Song Chengai's whole person.
After being slightly stunned, Song Chengai raised his head suddenly.
