Chapter Twenty-Three: The Aftermath
At the gate of a famous university in a city, Ji Tian was stopped as soon as he walked out of the campus.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Stopping him was a tall and handsome boy, looking at his appearance, the other party was a year or two younger than him. Ji Tian spoke in a very polite tone, and he could see that the other party had no malicious intent.
Because this young man was too delicate, many female classmates in the neighborhood looked sideways and looked at him curiously. Probably a little embarrassed to be seen, the young man coughed twice and said to him, "Is it Senior Ji Tian?" Hello, my name is Xie Yuxuan, I also graduated from XX high school, and I am still in the same class as you. I heard from our teacher that you were sent here directly, and I also want to be admitted to this school, so I would like to ask you some things about this school. ”
"Oh, it's a junior!" Ji Tian suddenly realized.
"Well, are you convenient now? I'll invite you to have dinner next to the school and have a chat, do you think it's okay? Xie Yuxuan's eyes were very sincere, Ji Tian thought about it, nodded and agreed: "That's okay, I'll tell my family, I won't go back to eat at noon today." ”
The two walked to the city center while talking, and along the way, Xie Yuxuan was asking him about the college entrance examination, Ji Tian did not doubt it, but answered the questions he asked seriously.
Soon Xie Yuxuan chose a restaurant. Ji Tian looked at the high-end decoration in the restaurant, and suddenly said a little nervously: "Senior brother, why don't we change it, this store doesn't look cheap......
"It's okay, I'm in for a treat. It's good that you're in charge of chatting with me. Xie Yuxuan pulled him in nonchalantly. After ordering, he looked at Ji Tian in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Ji Tian was a little embarrassed.
"It's really like that." Xie Yuxuan looked at him, and a trace of sentimentality flashed in his dark eyes: "You are very much like a ...... person"
"Who?" Ji Tian was interested.
"A loved one of mine." Xie Yuxuan seemed reluctant to continue talking about this, and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, are you a day student?" ”
"Yes, my family lives near here, so it's very convenient." Ji Tian said with a smile.
"Do you live with your parents?" Xie Yuxuan lowered his head, and his long bangs covered his eyes, making people a little unable to see his expression: "I envy you like this, I guess your family must be very harmonious." ”
"Yes, my parents have always had a good relationship." From the conversation, Xie Yuxuan learned that the space had completely erased Ji Chenghui's existence, and the memories of his relatives had also been modified, and no one remembered his existence anymore.
Under the table, Xie Yuxuan's fists were clenched and trembling slightly, but on the surface, he still looked light and breezy. This dinner was very pleasant, as Ji Chenghui said before his death, the interests and hobbies of the two were very similar, they chatted very speculatively during the dinner, and Ji Tian took the initiative to add his contact information.
"Yuxuan, thank you for inviting me to dinner today. Next time, you are welcome to visit my home! My mother's cooking is delicious, and it's better than the restaurant outside. Ji Tian said to him sincerely.
"Well, I know, he said it before." Xie Yuxuan still remembers the warmth between the man's eyebrows when he talked about his wife.
"Him?" Ji Tian was a little confused.
"Nothing...... Well, if you can. I will definitely go to your house and try Auntie's cooking! The two walked to the door, where a black sedan pulled up in front of them. Xie Yuxuan said to Ji Tian: "Do you want to give you a ride by the way?" ”
"No, my mom and dad just said they were going out shopping, and they're almost there. You go back first. Ji Tian politely refused. As the two spoke, a gentle female voice shouted from behind them.
Xie Yuxuan turned around and saw a gentle woman not far away, and a man with simple clothes and honest eyes standing beside her.
"My parents are here, you should go back quickly." Ji Tian was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Yuxuan: "Wait a minute, there is a gift, I hope you can accept it." ”
He took Ji Tian's hand and put something into his palm. Without waiting for Ji Tian to speak, Xie Yuxuan pulled the car door and sat down. At the same time, the car started and quickly left the place.
"Xiaotian, is that your friend?" The woman came to him.
"Well, it's my high school junior. Although the speech is a little strange, the person is quite nice. Ji Tian stretched out his hand and found that what the other party handed over to him was a silver lighter. Lighters look very old and should have been used for years.
"What is this?" The stepfather was a little strange: "You learned to smoke?" ”
"Nope!" Ji Tian hurriedly denied: "He gave it to me, although I don't know why he gave me this thing." But......" He rubbed the appearance of the lighter, and his eyes revealed strange emotions: "I think this lighter looks very kind, Dad, Mom, I swear I will never smoke, but this thing, can I keep it as a souvenir?" ”
"Yes. Don't talk about you, I look at this lighter and feel very kind......" The woman touched Ji Tian's head lovingly: "Okay, let's go to the mall." Your dad said he's going to buy you a pair of sneakers today. It's the ...... you've liked for a long time."
"Wow, that's great, dad I love you!" When Ji Tian heard this, he jumped up excitedly and hugged his stepfather beside him.
"You kid, light...... Dad's waist is about to break. The man replied with a smile. A family of three walked hand in hand on the side of the road, looking very warm.
On the side of the road on the adjacent street, Xie Yuxuan pushed the car door and walked out with Xu Zhen, Lu Qing and others.
Akai called and said that the eldest brother's parents had also been settled. If he hadn't been pulled into the space, the eldest brother must have lived like this now. Xu Zhen said bitterly.
"Don't think about this, Brother Ji can rest in peace, and now his wife and son are living happily." Lu Qing patted him on the shoulder: "Now I realize what a happy and luxurious thing it is to be able to live such an ordinary life." ”
Xie Yuxuan lowered his head and pressed something on his mobile phone, taking advantage of the other party's efforts to go to the bathroom, he took out the bank card in Ji Tian's bag and transferred 3 million to the other party.
"A little heart, I hope you can put it away. I'm sorry, but I may not have a chance to visit your house in the future. After he sent this message, he clicked on the address book with a sigh of relief and blocked Ji Tian's contact information. I owe Ji Chenghui a life, and there is no way to compensate for it in this life.
Xie Yuxuan only hopes that they can live a normal life in good health and peace and joy. As for themselves......
How long can he hold on, Xie Yuxuan was confused for the first time.
Lu Qing didn't know that a certain area in the space was experiencing a change at this time......
It's time for a new mission!
