Chapter 60: Jinjiang Dufa They hugged, kissed,...
For the first time, Lu Chiyuan did not send Jiang Chen downstairs and leave, but sent him upstairs.
Jiang Chen's home is decorated in warm colors, giving people a bright and warm feeling. There are only traces of his life at home, photos at the door, shoes in the shoe cabinet, and other closed rooms except the bedroom...
His life is very simple. He used to go back and forth between work and home. Now, he has a little more entertainment and goes out to play with Lu Chiyuan and others. It is not so monotonous anymore.
The lights in the living room were as bright as day. Jiang Chen was pressed on the sofa by Lu Chiyuan and his shirt was stripped off. There were some purple marks on his smooth and fair skin, just like flaws on a beautiful jade, which were particularly obvious.
Lu Chiyuan opened the medicine box, found the appropriate ointment, took out a cotton swab, and carefully applied the ointment to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen and he sat face to face, the two of them were very close, Jiang Chen was still half naked. If it were any other time, Jiang Chen would have been very nervous and started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
But today was different. Today he was forced to sit down by Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Chiyuan had said nothing along the way, and he was still silent at this moment, his blue eyes were deep. Jiang Chen looked at the emotions hidden in his eyes by his drooping eyelashes. There was no romance in his mind, but he was wondering if he was angry.
The cotton swab rubbed across his waist and abdomen, bringing a tingling sensation. Jiang Chen wanted to dodge several times, but when he saw Lu Chiyuan's expression, he forced himself to hold it back, and his hands on his knees couldn't help but clench.
Lu Chiyuan caught a glimpse of it and raised his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn't feel any pain, but rather a little "itchy..."
Jiang Chen did not suffer any loss when dealing with the bodyguards, and he only got hit a few times when dealing with Gu Tingsen. Apart from the obvious wound on his arm, the wounds on other parts were minor problems. Even if he ignored them, he would be mostly healed after a good sleep.
What's more, Jiang Chen's body was not that sensitive to pain. Compared with the pain, the tingling sensation made him feel at a loss, like a naughty feather sweeping around without any measure. He couldn't hide or not hide.
Lu Chiyuan laughed angrily. He asked Jiang Chen to lift his arm. Unlike the small scars on his body, Jiang Chen's arm was red, swollen and blue. He applied medicine with a cotton swab and pressed it down. Jiang Chen obviously frowned.
Lu Chiyuan was upset and couldn't help but want to say something to Jiang Chen. But when the words came to his lips, he suppressed them. Seeing Jiang Chen injured, he felt like a cat was scratching in his heart, feeling uncomfortable and irritated, with nowhere to vent.
He suppressed his emotions, not revealing anything on his face, and held Jiang Chen's arm to check: "Why is your hand injured like this?"
Jiang Chen didn't dare to say that he had traded one for one with Gu Tingsen, so he picked out the nicer side and said, "I suffered a little loss, but Gu Tingsen didn't get any advantage either. His chest will hurt for at least two days."
Lu Chiyuan automatically blocked out any words related to Gu Tingsen. He didn't care whether Gu Tingsen was dead or alive, he cared about Jiang Chen's injury. The more Jiang Chen acted as if he didn't care and wanted him to relax, the more nervous he became.
It was as if someone had treated him like this before.
Jiang Chen saw that he was in a bad mood, and said, "This little problem is nothing. I am a bodyguard after all. It is normal to have some bumps and bruises. I will be fine when I wake up tomorrow."
Lu Chiyuan glanced at him: "But are you a bodyguard now?"
The original body was a bodyguard, but Jiang Chen was not.
Lu Chiyuan could tell the difference clearly and admitted that he was biased. If the person standing here today was his original self, he would think that getting injured in a fight was inevitable and that he should be treated and reimbursed.
The person standing here happened to be Jiang Chen. He knew that Jiang Chen was very familiar with the original body and knew a little bit of martial arts, but he was not a professional bodyguard after all and had never undergone stress resistance training. How painful would it be if he got injured?
Jiang Chen wanted Lu Chiyuan to be happy, but he didn't want to be choked by these words and become speechless for a moment.
Lu Chiyuan poured out the medicated oil and rubbed it on his palm to warm it up. He then pressed his palm against Jiang Chen's arm, controlling the strength in his hand and massaging from light to heavy to dissolve the blood clots.
The bruises on his arms were obviously painful, Jiang Chen frowned, but soon he endured it. He looked up at Lu Chiyuan, his handsome face was unhappy, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was tense.
Jiang Chen, who had been looking for excuses because of his injury, finally came back to face the problem in front of him. Lu Chiyuan was not angry because he met Gu Tingsen, nor because he and Gu Tingsen had a fight, but because he was injured.
He had beaten someone up before and got away with it. Lu Chiyuan didn't say anything and even beat the guy up.
What he cared about was not Jiang Chen's impulsiveness, but that Jiang Chen failed to protect himself.
Jiang Chen's tense nerves relaxed and he admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have relied on my fighting skills to confront Gu Tingsen. He kept blocking my car and I got a little emotional. I didn't mean to not tell you, it was my phone that got knocked under the seat."
Today's dinner has brought about a great change in Jiang Chen's identity. Snowball's explanation did not completely convince him. Faced with this change, he felt uneasy and empty, as if one foot was on the clouds and was in danger of falling at any time.
If Gu Tingsen hadn't come out to provoke him, he might have adjusted his mindset after a good night's sleep and continued to face the next day with optimism. But Gu Tingsen was like a psychopath who didn't understand what people said and kept pestering him, making his already uncertain mood even worse.
He chose to face Gu Tingsen directly because he wanted to know the strength of the Star Group and whether Star could be a help when he was fighting against Gu Tingsen's protagonist halo.
But before he could use the stars, Lu Chiyuan arrived and stopped everything.
Seeing that Lu Chiyuan still didn't speak, Jiang Chen moved closer to him and tried to comfort him: "Brother, don't be angry, okay?"
Lu Chiyuan paused slightly. Jiang Chen's skin under his palm was burning hot, and the bruise was really an eyesore. He was not satisfied with Jiang Chen's apology, but clenched his teeth.
Is Jiang Chen the one who should apologize? He was blocked on the road, so he didn't feel wronged?
Lu Chiyuan looked up and saw Jiang Chen's face was very close to him. His beautiful eyes looked straight at him, like a wronged little puppy, eagerly waiting for forgiveness.
"I'm not angry." Lu Chiyuan suppressed his anger. He let go of Jiang Chen's arm and wiped the medicinal wine off his hands with paper. "It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
Jiang Chen saw him stand up and asked in surprise: "Are you leaving?"
Lu Chiyuan picked up the coat on the sofa and said, "I'll go back to the old house to take care of some personal matters and come back."
If Lu Chiyuan hadn't been delayed during the day, he would have been at the old house by now. He also wanted to stay with Jiang Chen, but he hadn't done what his mother asked him to do.
Jiang Chen remembered this and felt embarrassed to force him to stay, so he grabbed his shirt and put it on, then followed Lu Chiyuan to the door.
The neighborhood he lived in had two households on each floor, and the elevator was right outside the door. He had been here for so long, but he had never seen his neighbor next door, and he didn't know if there was anyone there.
Lu Chiyuan told him that there was no need to send him off and that he should just take care of himself.
Jiang Chen smiled and walked to the door, grabbed Lu Chiyuan's wrist, pointed at the door lock and said, "I'm not going to see you off. I want to record your face and fingerprints."
Jiang Chen thought that Lu Chiyuan had been here before and would definitely come again in the future. He directly gave him the permission to open the door, which was also a tacit consent. He was willing to let Lu Chiyuan enter his life.
Lu Chiyuan had no reason to refuse, and he had to admit that Jiang Chen's words made him feel much better.
After entering the face and fingerprints, Jiang Chen closed the door and let Lu Chiyuan try it. He only let him go after making sure it could be opened.
In the elevator, as the elevator door gradually closed, Lu Chiyuan's mouth curled up slightly. A smile appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
As the words in the elevator gradually decreased, Lu Chiyuan took out his cell phone and made a call: "I remember you had someone monitor several projects of Linfeng Group before? Find a chance to create some trouble for them and let Gu Tingsen exercise more."
The Lu family has many industries, and Lu Chiyuan has things to do every day. Generally speaking, he will not deliberately target anyone.
But if the other person is so ignorant as to put his face close to him, he does not recommend giving him a slap.
The bodyguard and the driver were waiting for Lu Chiyuan downstairs. When they saw Lu Chiyuan coming out, the bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door for him. The driver asked, "Mr. Lu, are we going back to the old house?"
It’s neither too early nor too late at this point, whether to go back or not, depends on Lu Chiyuan’s mood.
Lu Chiyuan said: "Return."
If he goes back tonight, he can come back to accompany Jiang Chen tomorrow.
The driver thought it was true, so he said nothing more and drove away from the community.
After seeing Lu Chiyuan off, Jiang Chen lay on the sofa with his shirt open, playing with his phone. His parents sent him a message, asking him to take care of himself and to call them if anything happened.
Jiang Chen looked at their replies and sighed, "I didn't even have a chance to talk to Brother Lu about the star."
Just thinking about coaxing him.
In addition to his parents, Ling Qi also sent a message to Jiang Chen. He and the designated driver were safely sent home by bodyguards. He sent a message to Jiang Chen to report that he was safe.
What happened tonight was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he was still feeling scared.
Jiang Chen replied: [Don’t think too much, go to bed early. If you have any questions after joining the group, please communicate with your agent in time, or ask me.]
Gu Tingsen's bad nature makes him restless. The designated driver is an ordinary person who can't threaten Jiang Chen, but Ling Qi is different. He is an artist of the company and has a connection with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen said it in advance to be prepared for any eventuality, so as to prevent Ling Qi from becoming a saw-mouthed gourd when encountering difficulties, and kept it in his heart.
After replying to the message, Jiang Chen prepared to take a shower. He put on his pajamas and walked to the bathroom door. He remembered that Lu Chiyuan had just applied medicine on him. His hand that pushed the door froze. He looked down at his body, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped back.
He put down his pajamas and lay back on the sofa, deciding to rest for a while before going.
It was already late when Lu Chiyuan returned to the old house, but it was still early for his parents because of the time difference. He was worried about Jiang Chen and wanted to finish his work as soon as possible. After washing up, he called his mother to communicate and went upstairs to find something for her.
"Mom can't remember clearly, please help me find it. If it's not in our room, please check the password box in the cinema."
Li Siya's voice came from the other end of the phone. What she wanted Lu Chiyuan to find was the backup USB drive where she stored her design drafts. She recently participated in a design competition, but unexpectedly her computer had problems and she lost a lot of design drafts. Fortunately, she had the habit of backing up.
I haven't been home for a long time, and I can't remember where I put some of them.
Lu Chiyuan didn’t find them in their room, so he went upstairs to the cinema.
There is a small password box in the cinema that belongs only to their family. It contains the memories that they want to preserve, whether it is their parents' wedding anniversary or Lu Chiyuan's life from childhood to adulthood. They recorded it with the camera and put it in the treasure box.
Lu Chiyuan entered the password, and after the box opened, he flipped through it and saw two USB flash drives, one black and one red. There were no labels on the two USB flash drives, and they were similar in style, so Lu Chiyuan asked which one it was.
Li Shiya chose her favorite color: "Red, plug it into the computer and take a look."
Lu Chiyuan adjusted the equipment in the cinema. A password was required to read the USB flash drive. Li Shiya mentioned her wedding anniversary with her husband.
Lu Chiyuan looked at the prompt on the screen and said, "Wrong password."
"That shouldn't be the case. Many of my passwords are my wedding anniversaries with your dad. Could it be that your dad thought the passwords I set were too simple and changed them for me?" Li Shiya said with a hint of doubt, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask your dad."
The voice on the other end of the phone drifted away, as if a couple was talking.
Lu Chiyuan took a closer look at the red USB flash drive. He felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He suddenly entered a string of numbers.
This time there was no pop-up window indicating that the password was incorrect. He unlocked the password and two videos appeared on the screen. The videos were named with dates from five years ago.
Lu Chiyuan hesitated for a moment and clicked on one of them at random.
Under the fixed lens, large patches of roses covered the bedside, and the colorful lights were like clusters of glowing stars, forming a galaxy along the sea of flowers.
Two figures appeared in the camera. They hugged and kissed lightly, like a young couple in love who met again after a long separation. They were passionate and affectionate, with their skin touching. Their ambiguous moans mixed with the sticky sound of water echoed through the speakers in the empty theater.
Lu Chiyuan was stunned on the spot, staring at the two people on the screen in disbelief. He would not mistake his own face, and he would certainly not mistake Jiang Chen.
But compared to the present, he and Jiang Chen in the video are younger. Jiang Chen has just shed his childishness. He is pressed under him, his fair and well-proportioned legs hooked around his waist, and a broken low moan comes from his throat.
Lu Chiyuan's mind went blank. He was not a fool. He could see that he and Jiang Chen had sex in the video.
The angle of the video is a bit strange. If it is a self-filmed video, it is a fixed angle and there is no movement. If it is a candid video, they both face the camera several times, and it is obvious that they know there is such a thing.
Lu Chiyuan couldn't figure out what the situation was like at that time. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that he had never had such a memory in his twenty-seven years of life.
According to the time when the video was shot, he was 22 years old, and Jiang Chen was only 19, just entering college. What kind of beast is he? He kidnapped college students to have sex?
"Baby, Mommy just remembered it wrong. It's not red, it's black. Please help Mommy to look again."
Li Shiya's voice was full of apology on the phone. When she found that Lu Chiyuan didn't respond, she asked in confusion: "Chiyuan? Are you still listening?"
Lu Chiyuan woke up as if from a dream, and quickly replied: "Mom, I will sort it out and send it to you tomorrow. I have something to do now, so I'll hang up first."
"Okay, don't be too tired and go to bed early." Li Siya didn't ask what was going on. She said good night and hung up the phone.
Lu Chiyuan sat down on the sofa, and he used the remote control to zoom in and out of the video. The video had been edited, and only the part where they went to bed was retained, with almost no useful information.
Lu Chiyuan scrolled to the end before he remembered there was another video. He quickly exited and clicked on another one.
With the previous shock, he was mentally prepared at this moment, and he would not find it strange even if he saw the video of having sex again.
But what he didn't expect was that this time the video was very serious. The person appearing in the video was his 22-year-old self. The cameraman handed him a rose and a cake one after another. He looked surprised, unexpected, and couldn't hide his joy.
"Surprise! Happy birthday, brother! Come on and smile."
"I said I would come back to celebrate your birthday with you, and I didn't break my promise,"
"You're not still mad at me, are you? But going to the Sports University in City A has always been my dream. You said you would support me. It hurts my heart to change your mind now."
The voice in the video was young and full of energy. Even without seeing the person's face, Lu Chiyuan could imagine what a bright smile it was.
In the video, I pretended to be angry and cursed softly: "Little liar."
"Not only a liar, but also a thief. I dressed up specially today to steal your heart."
The young voice was not afraid of Lu Chiyuan at all. The camera was fixed and the person who spoke jumped into the camera. As expected, it was Jiang Chen.
He rushed towards Lu Chiyuan, grabbed him and kissed him several times, then hugged his neck and said, "I promise that I will come back to accompany you as long as I am not training. By then, even if you find me annoying, you won't be able to drive me away."
"I won't."
"Not what? Not finding me annoying? Or not chasing me away?"
Jiang Chen approached Lu Chiyuan's lips with a playful smile, but Lu Chiyuan had things in both hands and couldn't push him away. He kissed Lu Chiyuan several times, and Lu Chiyuan's breathing became rapid, his expression was unbearable, and his brows were slightly frowned.
He looked at Jiang Chen's moist lips, his Adam's apple rolling, and said, "I don't know how to do it."
Lu Chiyuan pressed the pause button, and the video froze at the moment when he and Jiang Chen were cutting the birthday cake.
The backgrounds of the two videos are the same, and judging from the things shown, they were taken at the same time.
One is a serious birthday celebration, the other is an incidental expression of sexual desire.
Lu Chiyuan had no recollection of it, but the person inside was definitely himself, and the USB flash drive was also locked in a memory box whose password was known only to his family, and preserved as part of his memories. If he hadn't put it in there himself, no one else would have been able to do it.
How did things turn out like this?
Lu Chiyuan couldn't remember anything. The blankness and confusion made his brain ache.
If all this is true, is the person inside Jiang Chen or Jiang Chen?
