Chapter 4: Memories

The bright moonlight sprinkled in front of the window, the shadows of the trees outside the window were mottled, graceful like a ballet dancer dancing, Yijian lay on the bed, turned over, felt a little thirsty, maybe he talked too much with Vice President Na Yan today, Yijian rubbed his eyes, looked sideways at the alarm clock on the desk, 10:55, so late, thinking about getting up first and going downstairs to drink saliva and then come back to sleep, he got up and went downstairs.

"Throat~", someone opened the entrance door, Yijian shifted his gaze to the entrance, just in time to see Cheng Xuan with a suit jacket in his hand coming in from the outside, Yi Jian wanted to turn back and dodge, but it was too late, Cheng Xuan looked at Yi Jian standing on the stairs and did not make a sound.

"You.. It's back. Yi Jian squeezed out four words stiffly.

"Hmm.."

The Anjia villa was originally very luxurious and spacious, except for a few people in the whole villa, there was generally no one else, and the servants all lived in the auxiliary residence, so it was unusually quiet at night, so quiet that she could hear Chengxuan's answer very clearly just now. Jane didn't know what to say next, so she continued down the stairs and headed for the kitchen.

"That's right." Cheng Xuan, who walked to the top of the stairs, suddenly remembered something and set his eyes on Yijian.

"Uhhh Can I help you? ”

"That day, in the restaurant, why did you pretend not to know?"

That day, Yijian recalled the embarrassing scene that day, pretending not to know him, what did he mean, didn't he tell her not to let anyone know that they had a relationship.

When she was seventeen years old, An's mother took her into An's house, and that was the first time she saw An Chengxuan.

"Where's the young master?" Mother An asked Mother Lin.

"The young master is down." Mother Lin saw An Chengxuan coming down from upstairs and said.

Yijian raised his head and looked at the boy in front of him who was more than 1.8 meters, wearing a white sweater, black jeans, and white sneakers, walking towards him, Cheng Xuan's complexion looked very white, it was the kind of milk-like white, at first glance, it was a child raised by a rich and noble family, with a sense of arrogance in the sun, as if there was an innate sense of distance, which made people dare not approach.

"Come, come, come." An's mother called Chengxuan over.

"Yijian, he is his mother's son, called An Chengxuan." Mother An put a hand on Cheng Xuan's arm and said to Yijian.

"Chengxuan, from today onwards, the An family has another daughter, and you have another sister, her name is An Yijian."

"By the way, Yijian, Chengxuan is three years older than you, you have to call him brother, quick, call brother."

Yijian still hadn't woken up in the grandeur of the Anjia Villa, and looked at Cheng Xuan who didn't speak for a while.

"Don't call me." Cheng Xuan said in a gloomy voice. Before Yijian could speak, Cheng Xuan broke away from An's mother's hand and turned around and walked upstairs.

Yijian's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and stopped talking, and stood in place.

An's mother patted Yijian's back comfortingly and said gently: "Your brother may not be in a good mood these days, don't worry, in fact, he is usually a very docile child." ”

"yes, I see." Yijian looked at An's mother and said weakly.

"Mother Lin, take Yijian's luggage to her room and help her clean up."

"Yes, ma'am." After speaking, he took Yijian and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

Mother Lin opened the door, the room was very spacious, more spacious than the one she lived with her mother before, European-style decoration, pure white tones, and a few oil paintings simply hung on the wall. The bedside was neatly arranged with quilts and pillows, and there was a bedtable next to the bed, and there were a few books on the cabinet, which she didn't understand, because they were all foreign classics. At the opposite corner of the bed is a minimalist-looking fold-out wooden desk, with a lamp, an Apple laptop and a potted plant.

Yijian opened the gray curtains, there was a balcony outside, and there were tables and chairs on the balcony for resting, which made her suddenly feel like a dream, did she really want to live here, Yijian was in a trance.

A few days later, in the morning, the birds chirped and jumped on the branches, which reminded her of the nursery rhyme she learned in kindergarten when she was a child, "Xiao Mo Xiao Erlang, carrying a schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain...."Today is also the first day after Yijian's transfer, and I am inexplicably a little nervous, although I am already a sophomore in high school, but she was originally in the high school of C Town, how can she keep up with the classmates of Yuqing High School, the first university in K City, I can't help but feel ashamed when I think of this.

"Miss Yijian, it's time to eat early." Mother Lin stood at the dining table and called Yijian.

"Got it, Mama Lin."

I have to say that the Anjia family has three meals for one person is very rich, just breakfast has toast, sausage, rice porridge, bacon, eggs, and fruits, and drinks alone have coffee, milk, juice three kinds, I heard that Daniel, the chef of Anjia, is from Italy, is Mrs. An specially hired him from an international hotel with a high salary to be responsible for An's food, Daniel is not only a master chef, but also a special sense of art in the plating, looking at it can make people have a great appetite, but later because of something to return to China, Since then, it has been Lin's mother who has been in charge of cooking.

Yiling was still recuperating in the hospital due to physical problems, so Yijian was sitting opposite An Chengxuan, Yijian quickly lowered his head and silently began to eat breakfast, for fear of meeting Chengxuan's eyes. In the past few days at An's house, Cheng Xuan has never said a word to him, even a look has rarely been given to her, she knows that Cheng Xuan really hates her, and yes, who would like a stranger to become a family member for no reason.

"Yijian, after eating, take Uncle Yang's car, and go to school with Cheng Xuan, I have completed your admission procedures for you, Cheng Xuan is a sophomore at Yuqing University, and your high school is in the university, so the two of you can just go to and from class together."

"I see, Mom." Yijian pretended to glance at Cheng Xuan casually, Cheng Xuan was eating toast expressionlessly and looking at the English newspaper.

"I'll go first, Mom." After speaking, Yijian picked up his schoolbag and followed Cheng Xuan into the car.

Along the way, Cheng Xuan kept looking out the window, without saying a word, the car was very quiet, quiet and a little depressing, and Yi Jian didn't dare to make a sound, only the whining sound of the wheels driving on the road was left in the car. It's almost time to get to school.

"Stop." Cheng Xuan suddenly broke the silence.

"Get out of the car." Cheng Xuan turned his head to Yi Jian.

"Young Master." Uncle Yang looked at the rearview mirror and said.

"It's close to the school, you can go there yourself." Cheng Xuan said indifferently.

"And don't let anyone know that we have a relationship." After saying that, he closed the car door, and the car disappeared from Yijian's sight.

Yijian felt a little sad in her heart and had the urge to cry, but looking at the students and passers-by on the road, she couldn't help it, lowered her head and walked towards the school with difficulty. She didn't understand why An Chengxuan didn't treat her so much, whether it was because she was adopted, or he looked down on her at all, or whether he felt that he had separated his mother's love, he didn't understand, he didn't understand, Yijian looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "First day, come on." ”

After class in the afternoon, I slowly walked to the school gate, looked at the figure of looking for Uncle Yang, looked for a long time, but didn't find it, I thought that An Chengxuan didn't want to take the bus with him, or not, so that it would be less embarrassing and uncomfortable, and then began to look for the nearest bus stop sign.

In the VIP ward of K City People's Hospital, Yiling was lying on the hospital bed playing with the Mickey doll that Cheng Xuan had just bought for her, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xuan and said, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore, I don't like these plush toys anymore." ”

"Yes, then you give it back to me." Cheng Xuan pretended to rob Mickey.

"No, don't, Mickey I still like it, hehe." Yiling smiled and smiled, suddenly quieted down and looked at Mickey in his hand, and said melancholy: "Brother, I heard that Mother Lin said that my mother adopted another daughter, right?" ”

“.....”

"Why did my mother adopt her, did she think I was sick and embarrassed her, so she wanted to find someone to replace me, is that so?" Yiling looked at Cheng Xuan with tears in her eyes.

"Don't think about it." Cheng Xuan looked at Yiling gently and comforted.

"I'm sorry..."I don't know why she said these three words, but she really didn't know how to answer his question, obviously five years ago, he didn't allow her to reveal the "brother and sister" relationship between them in front of outsiders, it's really a noble person to forget things, Yi Jian thought to herself.

Cheng Xuan looked at her for a few seconds, then turned and went upstairs.

"Whew~~" Yijian sighed, poured a glass of water, and drank it after two grunts.

The next morning, An Chengxuan woke up early, feeling a little groggy, he rubbed his neck, put on his nightgown, got up and walked out of the room to go downstairs, and saw Yijian in the kitchen busy with breakfast alone.

"Ahem... Cough..."Cheng Xuan coughed uncomfortably.

Yijian turned around, only to find that Cheng Xuan had come to the kitchen. Cheng Xuan opened the refrigerator, opened the bottle of water, and took a sip.

"You.. Uncomfortable? Yijian asked with some hesitation.

"Maybe I caught a cold yesterday."

"That.. I'll make you a bowl of ginger tea. ”

"Hmm."

Moments later...

"Why are you alone, Mama Lin?" An Chengxuan said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Mama Lin's granddaughter is sick, so Mama Lin took a day off today to take her granddaughter to the hospital for a check-up." Yijian replied without thinking, no, when did she and Chengxuan have such a natural conversation, since Chengxuan returned to Anjia to now, the conversation between them can be counted clearly with ten fingers, just like when she first came to Anjia five years ago, it seems to be a normal conversation, but it makes Yijian feel a little incredible, Yijian looked back at Chengxuan, and then continued to be busy preparing breakfast.

"Mom, morning." Seeing An's mother walking towards the kitchen, Yijian said with a smile.

"Morning, I'm going to work hard for you today, Yijian."

"It's okay, it's not hard."

"Mom, Yiling, it's time to have breakfast." Hearing An's mother's call, everyone came to the table and sat down.

"Your ginger tea, be careful of scalding." Yijian handed the ginger tea to Cheng Xuan.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Mrs. An looked at Cheng Xuan and said anxiously.

"I'm fine, grandma, maybe I caught a cold last night."

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Mother Ann spoke.

"No need, Mom, it's just a little cold, I'll go first" said and drank the last sip of ginger tea, got up and set off for the company.

"You see this kid is like this, he takes everything too seriously, works so hard, and doesn't pay attention to his body." Old Madam An shook her head.

"Mom, young people, it's okay to work hard, and I can't bear this little problem, how can I manage the entire An's enterprise in the future." Anmu said calmly.

"You, you just have a big heart, just such a son, you can't protect it well, by the way, why hasn't that Chengxuan's girlfriend appeared recently, shouldn't you accompany and take care of us Chengxuan more at this time."

"Mom, let them handle the young people's affairs by themselves, don't worry too much, let's eat."

Mrs. Ann stopped talking and continued to eat breakfast.

"Mom, grandma, I'm going to work first, what do you want for dinner, I'll try to come back early and cook it for you."

"It's okay, we all like to eat what you make, you can see for yourself." Mother Ann smiled.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Yijian nodded and turned to leave An's house.
