Chapter 26: Jinjiang Dufa I only remember Lu at that time...

It was already evening when Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan landed in City A by plane. The general manager of the branch company received them in person. He was a little surprised to see that Lu Chiyuan was not accompanied by Lu Mingxuan.

However, he was able to control his emotions well, and walked up to Lu Chiyuan and shook hands naturally.

Jiang Chen was not interested in his business boasting. He lagged behind Lu Chiyuan by two steps and walked with the security personnel.

At night in City A, tall buildings stand in rows. Under the dark sky, colorful lights illuminate the streets and alleys. Crowds of people are surging, and the remaining warmth of the day is carried by the wind, and the heat wave hits us.

The general manager invited Lu Chiyuan to get in the car. According to past arrangements, he and Lu Chiyuan usually sat in the back, with a security guard in the car and the assistant following behind.

But this time Lu Chiyuan was not in a hurry to get in the car. He looked at Jiang Chen who was behind him, waited for Jiang Chen to come over, let him get in first, and then he got in.

The general manager was stunned. He looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully. He could accept Lu Chiyuan's offer of his seat so calmly. Could it be that he was mistaken? Wasn't this his accompanying assistant?

The general manager was startled, but he was not the talkative type. He was just curious for a moment and then put the idea out of his mind.

As night falls, the bustling city's nightlife has just begun.

Jiang Chen looked out the window and saw the familiar tall buildings rapidly receding from his sight. His memory was triggered and he frowned slightly.

[Is this a fictional world that replicates the real world one-to-one? This road is strangely familiar.]

[Yes, yes, Chenchen has been to City A?] Snowball transformed into a figure and landed on Jiang Chen's legs, looking out the window with him.

[I should have gone to college in City A. Before I came here, I cleaned up old things at home and found a notebook full of plane tickets. The time span was four years. I frequently traveled between City A and City S. I don’t know why I did that at the time.]

Jiang Chen showed a confused expression. The content of the notebook was purely an emotional catharsis, without recording any specific matters. In addition to pasting the plane tickets, he would occasionally add a line or two of lyrics, or write a paragraph.

It's like taking a sip from the vast expanse of water, literary and sentimental. He was so embarrassed when he turned to it, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away.

Through the notebook, his past began to take shape.

Snowball was silent. The active help during the day brought about a brief moment of introversion. Now it was a qualified system. It did not complain, but pondered: [Why should it be? ]

Is it possible to go to college?

If you get in, you get in. If you don’t get in, you don’t get in.

Jiang Chen was silent. Snowball panicked. Was he going to step into the host's restricted area again?

[Chenchen doesn't want to say it, you don't have to...]

【I lost my memory.】

Jiang Chen didn't feel that he couldn't speak, he just felt a little uncomfortable talking.

His inner voice echoed in the car, Snowball's voice weakened, and it looked up at Jiang Chen.

The young man looked normal, as if he was talking about something ordinary.

Jiang Chenxu stroked its back. After he said the first sentence, the rest would not be that difficult.

[I have amnesia. One day a few months ago, I suddenly found myself forgetting the past. How can I describe that feeling to you? If my memory is a building, it collapsed without me noticing, and when I came to my senses, only ruins were left.]

[I stand on the ruins, and can only find a few things from the past among the broken walls, but those things are not enough to piece together my life.]

[The doctor said I had sequelae of brain damage. The funny thing is that I don’t even remember this happening. Maybe it was because I was naughty in the orphanage before and didn’t take the bumps and bruises seriously, so the condition worsened after I became an adult.]

Snowball was heartbroken. He hooked Jiang Chen's wrist with his tail and hated himself for being a piece of cold data that couldn't give him a little warmth.

Damn it, it must redeem points for a simulation data later.

Jiang Chen felt its concern and looked down at it with a faint smile on his lips, as if to say that he was fine.

Snowball lay on his lap: [No wonder you are so calm after entering the book, and you are not in a hurry to go back. I have seen new recruits who were temporarily recruited, and most of them would be terrified of the unknown environment and make a fuss for a day or two.]

[Not going back is not entirely because of memory problems.] Jiang Chen's smile deepened. He did not dare to look at Lu Chiyuan, but just looked up to the window, picturing the appearance of the man beside him from the reflection in the glass. [I only remembered Lu Chiyuan at that time.]

After losing his memory, Jiang Chen's life fell into chaos. He could not accept the process of spending a lot of time every day to construct his memory and avoided it for a long time.

It was at that time that he came across this novel by chance. Lu Chiyuan only appeared in a few strokes at the time, but it left a clear image in his mind.

The next day, the third day, the fourth day... he never forgot it.

Not only that, he found that anything that was equated with Lu Chiyuan would be remembered by him quickly and would last for a period of time.

Lu Chiyuan became his pillar of life. He began to cheer up again, applied to work from home, and actively cooperated with the treatment.

After being accidentally drawn into this world and knowing that only seven days would pass, he actually had a little selfish thought.

His life is a mess because of amnesia. He can't remember those people and things, but this impact is not brought into this world.

He came up with a bold idea. If his memory could not be restored and he could only remember Lu Chiyuan forever, then let Lu Chiyuan become his memory, his past.

Even if he is alone in the ocean in the future, Lu Chiyuan will be his only lighthouse, guiding him in the direction of progress.

[Chenchen, you can actually apply to stay here and not go back.] Xueqiu proposed a good idea, [The only price is that time in the other world will begin to pass, but compared to being forgotten, staying here will give you a new life.]

Jiang Chen retracted his gaze and poked his finger at Xueqiu's belly: [If I don't go back, what will Jiang Chen do? My life is already a ruin. I have experienced that kind of pain. Why should I deprive others of their lives? ]

[He may not be perfect, he may be stupid and slow to react, but he is trying hard to live a good life. ]

Jiang Chen is not a god, he is just like most people, ordinary and common. He knows that he is just here for a trip, and he will leave when the mission is over.

He has no right to take over someone else's life.

Snowball looked up at it. As a system, empathy was a taboo, but at this moment, it was still a little sad. It searched its own database, trying to find a solution that would satisfy both parties, but in the end, it was all dark.

The limitations of world consciousness will not open it up to anything with higher authority.

Snowball hung his head and let his tail hang down.

Jiang Chen comforted it: [I am not sad. Although I cannot accompany you to conquer the sea of ​​stars, I can help you complete the tasks in this world. I give you a five-star praise! ]

Snowball secretly glanced at the world quest where the mosaic was so blurred that only the three words "Lu Chiyuan" could be clearly seen. For the first time, he was thankful that the main system was unreliable. This system bug could extend the host's stay.

Even if the results are contrary to the mission later, you can still appeal.

It wants Jiang Chen to have more memories.

Jiang Chen was so focused on playing with the cat that he didn't notice the other person in the back seat at all.

Under Lu Chiyuan's calm appearance, there was a turbulent storm of emotions. He realized that Jiang Chen's ambivalence was because he was always ready to leave.

His arrival is just a brief encounter, and separation is the unchanging ending.

He was calm and rational and never thought of robbing.

The love he said in his heart was not a confession, but a farewell. One after another, it struck on the hearts of others, but he was unwilling to take responsibility.

Lu Chiyuan was inexplicably angry and wanted to reach out and grab Jiang Chen several times, asking him to look into his eyes and repeat what was in his heart, and then reject them one by one.

Just like what the other voice said, Jiang Chen could choose to stay. Here he is, his parents, and his memories. Isn't that better than a life with nothing?

But when this thought came to his mind, he realized that he was being unreasonable.

Why did he stop Jiang Chen? Why did he deny the other Jiang Chen?

Lu Chiyuan was upset and irritable. He half-closed his eyes to hide the vicious look in them.

The mixture of light and shadow fell between his eyebrows, and his emotions were hidden in the darkness. Only when the light and shadow intersected could one glimpse a little bit of the underlying anger.

He quietly digested his emotions in the darkness.

The general manager booked a restaurant to welcome Lu Chiyuan. When the car arrived outside the restaurant, he got out first to open the door for Lu Chiyuan.

Lu Chiyuan didn't move. He was in a bad mood and wanted to go back to the hotel.

But before he could say anything, Jiang Chen got out of the car from the other side.

Lu Chiyuan turned his head to look over, and only caught a glimpse of him closing the door. Most of his body was hidden by the car, and the only translucent glass could not be seen clearly because of the light.

Lu Chiyuan felt empty in his heart and his fingers moved slightly.

He thought, he should catch it. If he didn't, Jiang Chen would leave like this without any regrets.

Jiang Chen walked around from the front of the car to Lu Chiyuan's side, and Lu Chiyuan's eyes followed him, finally stopping in front of the car door.

Because the general manager was standing next to the car, Jiang Chen did not go near. He had his back to Lu Chiyuan, thinking about what to eat.

Seeing no movement behind him for a long time, he tilted his head to take a look.

[What's going on? Should we go back to the hotel first? But I'm hungry. ]

Lu Chiyuan: “…”

The general manager was unsure of Lu Chiyuan's intention and asked, "Boss Lu, what do you think of this?"

Lu Chiyuan got out of the car: "Let's eat."

Jiang Chen has stomach problems and can't stand being hungry. If he has a stomachache, can Lu Chiyuan pretend not to see it and not show any reaction?

The general manager didn't know why Lu Chiyuan was fine when he got on the car but his expression changed after he got off. He thought he had done something wrong and seriously reflected on it in his mind.

At this time, he suddenly missed Lu Mingxuan a little bit, because when he couldn't understand Lu Chiyuan, he could get close to Lu Mingxuan and guess his general idea.

But he was not familiar with Jiang Chen and did not dare to try it easily.

Jiang Chen noticed that Lu Chiyuan was in a bad mood. This time he did not deliberately fall behind, but followed his footsteps. When the general manager was communicating with the waiter, he whispered, "Brother Lu, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Chiyuan lowered his eyes and looked at him: Oh, you remember him now?

"If you're not feeling well, can we go back to the hotel?"

Jiang Chen saw that he looked unwell. Considering that it was summer and they were traveling a long distance, he might suffer from heat stroke or acclimatization.

Seeing that he was worried, Lu Chiyuan felt a little better and deliberately asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

"It's okay to eat at the hotel. You didn't sleep well last night." Jiang Chen was still a little worried.

Lu Chiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is it because of?"

Jiang·Criminal·Chen: "I didn't mean it. I didn't know I would be so overbearing when I fell asleep. Next time, just wake me up and I'll go back to my room to sleep."

This was the second time Jiang Chen slept on Lu Chiyuan, and Lu Chiyuan seemed to have never considered the simplest solution of waking him up.

Last time it was because he had stomachache, this time it was because he had insomnia, both seemed to be reasonable reasons.

Lu Chiyuan didn't mind this kind of intimacy, but he was unforgiving: "Do you want to do it again? How about I change the sofa into a bed, and you can go wherever you want?"

Jiang Chen thought of the scene of him and Lu Chiyuan lying on the bed, his brain froze for a moment, and he quickly raised his hand to refuse: "Rolling on the sofa is fine, but rolling on the sheets is not allowed!"

【No, no. 】

Jiang Chen was stunned and quickly covered his mouth.

He said what was on his mind.

Lu Chiyuan raised his eyebrows, and for a moment he couldn't tell which words were said by Jiang Chen and which words were thought by Jiang Chen.

He saw the general manager who was walking in front of him stop, a look of embarrassment appeared on his smiling face, and he had to pretend to be calm. He knew that Jiang Chen had said the opposite.

A hint of joy emerged from his depressed mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Jiang Chen explained awkwardly: "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, Brother Lu."

Lu Chiyuan did not express his opinion, but only said: "We are here."

He walked past Jiang Chen and entered the box first, leaving Jiang Chen in a mess.

[There must be no squid on the table tonight. ]

【I don’t want to be fired. 】

The general manager on the other side forced a smile. For a middle-aged man like him, this was a really challenging dinner.
