Someone invested heavily to assemble a television drama crew, designating actors and a script, determined to use top-tier resources to interpret an extremely simple story.
It was a low-blood-...
A sudden meeting
Sister Zhuo shouldn't have told Yan Jia the address here. Qi Jixin thought so as she looked at the figure on the surveillance camera at the door, but she couldn't not open the door for him.
"Brother Jia, why are you here?" She opened the door and smiled politely at the visitor. Yan Jia closed the door with his backhand and put his arm around her shoulders as they walked into the house. "I really don't know your current permanent address. I asked Xuan Jiazhuo and she told me."
Qi Jixin turned around and looked at the unlocked door, feeling very complicated. He didn't know whether it would be bad if Bing Jie came back and couldn't open the door, or if he opened the door and saw Yan Jia here...
Just now, Bing Jie went downstairs to get the breakfast made by his aunt that the driver had brought. When the doorbell rang, Qi Jixin thought that Bing Jie didn't bring his keys, but he was caught off guard and saw Yan Jia.
"What kind of circle are you hanging out in now? Why are you dressed like you're going racing?" She looked at Yan Jia, who was wearing a stylish black leather jacket and cool gloves with black background, red and white stripes. Halfway through her words, she suddenly pointed at Yan Jia's ears in surprise: "You even got your ears pierced!"
"Is it cool?" Yan Jia tilted his head slightly to look at her, with a very happy expression on his face.
Qi Jixin nodded and said, "That's right, but are you prepared to never see your parents again in your life?"
The only son of the Yan family has been trained to be a top talent since he was young. Now he looks just like the gangster that Sister Zhuo took in back then. Qi Jixin couldn't help laughing when she saw him.
"Ever since they sent me abroad for training, I haven't seen them again, and I haven't spent a penny of their money, so I can do whatever I want." Yan Jia spoke of the past with a nonchalant attitude. Qi Jixin had a personal experience of this, so she patted his shoulder reassuringly.
It was obvious that he came here by bike, otherwise Qi Jixin couldn't imagine which stylist could give a handsome guy such a messy hair. She stopped her hand that was about to help him with his hair and reminded him: "Your hair is a mess, go and fix it quickly."
She followed Yan Jia to the bathroom and said to him while watching him messing with his hair: "My boyfriend lives with me. He will be back soon. Don't act too surprised."
Yan Jia grabbed a handful of hair from his forehead and turned to look at her in disbelief: "What do you mean, boyfriend? Do you know everything about that person? Boyfriend..." He took a step forward, frowned and asked again: "Could it be Bing Jie?"
At this moment, the sound of a key turning was heard at the door. Qi Jixin nodded in a panic and begged him to behave normally in a rapid voice. After their eyes met for a moment, Yan Jia finally nodded.
Bing Jie thought she was not awake, so he didn't say anything when he entered the room. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw two people standing at the end of the corridor out of the corner of his eye. To be precise, it was Qi Jixin who was walking towards him with a smile, and Yan Jia who was looking at him with vigilance.
"You're back so soon? Let me introduce you, this is my brother Yan Jia. Bro, this is my boyfriend Bing Jie."
Both of them nodded to each other, but that was all. Qi Jixin hurriedly pulled Bing Jie to the dining table and said that he was about to faint from hunger.
She was about to faint, not from hunger, but from fear.
I thought that the two of them would meet, but I didn't expect that day to come so soon. Qi Jixin couldn't take care of both of them and was destined to neglect one of them.
She asked Bing Jie to serve the rice first, and then she went to find Yan Jia and discussed something with him in a low voice.
"We broke up after being together for just one day. All the fault lies with me, but today is not the time to talk about this. Can we talk about it in detail another day?" She looked at Yan Jia pleadingly, and the latter pursed his lips and nodded.
In fact, Yan Jia didn't come here today to talk about that matter. He just wanted to come and see Qi Jixin's injury. Speaking of the fact that he was her boyfriend for a day, Yan Jia still found it incredible. It's not that the breakup was incredible, but that she agreed to try to be with him at that time.
When they were young and ignorant, the two of them did treat each other differently from others, but that affection could not withstand the passage of time. Later, Qi Jixin's family encountered misfortune. In order to escape the control of his family, Yan Jia cut off contact with everyone, and naturally lost contact with Qi Jixin.
When he saw her again, Yan Jia was already the boss of his own Internet company, and he had long understood that he did like her when he was young. So when he saw his old friend again, who was still heartbroken by her marriage, Yan Jia only accompanied her as a relative. During the two years that Qi Jixin was abroad, Yan Jia and Xuan Jiazhuo were by her side.
With Xuan Jiazhuo's encouragement, Yan Jiacai finally confessed his feelings to Qi Jixin. He thought that Qi Jixin, who had completely forgotten Bing Jie, would remember the affection he had when they were young, but she always refused. Until that time when he mentioned it again, he had just given up hope, but she actually agreed.
But beautiful dreams will eventually end. That night, when he went to pick up Qi Jixin, he was accidentally photographed by reporters. Yan Jia was ready to make their relationship public, but she was bound by the contract to clarify.
The message sent to him along with the clarification announcement was Qi Jixin's sincere apology to him, saying that the two of them were not suitable to be together. Yan Jia naturally would not pester him. After all, if he continued to pester her, he might not even be able to be her friend... According to Qi Jixin's wishes, this matter was not told to Xuan Jiazhuo immediately.
Seeing her fall in love with Bing Jie again, Yan Jia couldn't pretend to be good-tempered, but he couldn't tell her about the painful things that happened to her back then. In addition, Xuan Jiazhuo told him that there might be other hidden secrets back then...
Various reasons were intertwined, so all Yan Jia could do was to keep a cold face. He wanted to talk to Bing Jie alone and warn him that if he disappointed Qi Jixin again, he would never let him go. But Qi Jixin was too protective of him, and he didn't even have the chance to talk to him.
"Want to eat together?" Bing Jie asked the two people who appeared from the corner while he was getting the bowl and chopsticks. Qi Jixin pushed Yan Jia to the sofa and declined: "No, my brother has already eaten."
Yan Jia tilted his head unhappily and complained to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Who said I ate it? I didn't eat it, okay."
"You have time to wear cycling clothes and ride a motorcycle, but no time to eat breakfast? My brother, drive in the future and save some time to eat breakfast." Qi Jixin confronted him without any hesitation. Yan Jia sat on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, his anger almost written on his face.
After settling him down, Qi Jixin rushed over to eat. Standing by the dining table, she immediately took out her cell phone to call for off-field assistance.
[Little Ancestor: Sister Zhuo, if you don't want Brother Jia to stare at Bing Jie and me, then why don't you talk to him about something? This guy is sitting on the sofa staring at us, making it so hard for me to eat.]
Xuan Jiazhuo had been waiting for her news. When she saw the news, she dared not think about that scene anymore. Normally, she would have retorted, but there was nothing she could do. Today, she was the one who made the mistake first - she gave Yan Jia the address. It was a mess, and she was the only one who had to clean it up.
[Sister Zhuo: O's K]
[Sister Zhuo: If they really start fighting, stay away from them so they don’t get hurt.]
Qi Jixin could already imagine how happy Sister Zhuo was laughing. She secretly turned off her phone, took the spoon handed to her by Bing Jie, and just after stirring the preserved egg porridge, she heard Yan Jia's phone ring. Yan Jia went to the balcony in the living room to answer the phone, and Qi Jixin's expression was obviously more relaxed.
"Don't be nervous, isn't he your rumored boyfriend?" Bing Jie picked up a piece of vegetables for her with chopsticks and said jokingly.
Qi Jixin put down the spoon and said truthfully: "He was really my boyfriend at that time."
"It's the same now." Bing Jie looked at her fearlessly. Qi Jixin nodded approvingly, thinking that this guy was really calm. Bing Jie said, "It seems like you have known each other for a long time, right?"
"Well, a few years ago, when I was sick and receiving treatment, he and Sister Zhuo took care of me. Speaking of which, I don't really remember much about that time. It might have been too painful, so my brain simply forgot the memory of that illness to protect me."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Bing Jie felt his heart aching, and even the finger wearing the wedding ring was throbbing with pain. He actually thought the same thing. It was ridiculous that she lost her memory due to a drowning accident.
Rather than this, he would rather believe that forgetting that memory was her body's protection mechanism taking effect, and forgetting the source of her pain - herself.
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Jixin noticed that his expression was not right, so she asked hurriedly. Bing Jie came to his senses and immediately shook his head, saying that it was nothing. He was not in the mood to eat. After dinner, Bing Jie thought that he wanted to have a chat with Yan Jia.
Although he had checked out Yan Jia before, he didn't know what was happening abroad, and he didn't know that Yan Jia was with her during that time.
Fortunately, he soon found an opportunity. Qi Jixin went to the bedroom to answer the phone. When he looked at the balcony, Yan Jia also looked back at him. Bing Jie immediately understood that this was the opportunity Yan Jia was looking for. He pushed the door and walked to the balcony.
"I've heard of your great name for a long time. It's well-known." Yan Jia said in a calm tone.
Bing Jie naturally heard the irony in the words, but he didn't care: "Did you hear about me from Xuan Jiazhuo, or from Ji Xin?"
Yan Jia sneered at this blatant rhetoric. "Do you think you're a bodhisattva? Do you think you can answer any question you ask?"
"What difference does it make? No matter how you describe it, you're still a sinner."
Facing this accusation, Bing Jie accepted it calmly. He nodded and said, "I've said this to Xuan Jiazhuo once, and I don't mind telling you again. It was my fault before, so this time I just want to make it up to her, that's all."
"Really?" Yan Jia knocked on the railing with his hand in frustration and asked angrily in a low voice: "I thought you were using the TV show to get close to her just to awaken her past memories and make her fall in love with you again!" Yan Jia turned around to see if there was anyone in the living room. Only then did he suppress his anger and said, "Obviously, you have successfully captured her heart again."
Bing Jie lowered his eyelids for a moment and then raised them again. In fact, he disdained to explain to others the reasons for his actions, but when it came to Qi Jixin's matter, he took the trouble to explain to Xuan Jiazhuo that it was because Xuan Jiazhuo saved her life and Bing Jie was very grateful to her.
Now he also feels some gratitude towards Yan Jia.
"When I learned she had lost her memory, I did have some thoughts about wanting her to recover her memory, but not to make her fall in love with me again. After all, in my memory, she only had overwhelming hatred for me in the end." At this point, Bing Jie's eyes dimmed for a moment before he added, "Including the TV series I'm filming now, I just want to know what happened back then and what injustices she suffered."
As he was speaking, Qi Jixin came out of the bedroom and saw the two people standing side by side on the balcony through the French window. She hurried over. Bing Jie looked at Qi Jixin with a normal expression and said slowly, "But that thought quickly disappeared. I don't want to make her suffer again."
