When she was 8 years old—
Father brought home a boy. Little Chen Yu thought he was here to steal her father away. His name was Shen Yan.
Little Chen Yu tried all sorts of ways to to...
Once the company returned to normal, all the companies that had terminated their contracts lined up to come back and sign new ones. Even people from Minghui Technology came, saying that there was a problem with their previous review and they wanted to sign again this time, this time for three years.
The total amount reached over 20 million, which is enough to support the company for three whole years.
The finance department had just finished reporting in Huang Xiaoni's office when Chen Yu arrived. Huang Xiaoni told the finance department to go back first.
She took a cup of coffee out of her bag and handed it to Chen Yu. "How about it? Aren't you surprised by this news?"
"That's such a pleasant surprise! I can finally get some rest."
Chen Yu stretched and took a sip of the coffee Huang Xiaoni gave her, only to have it snatched away by Wang Yue the next second.
"What's wrong with you?! Don't you know how to buy things?!" Chen Yu loudly accused Wang Yue.
"Hey, I just love snatching the drink from your hand."
Wang Yue stuck her tongue out at Chen Yu, and for a fleeting moment, Chen Yu felt as if she were seeing Wang Yue from her school days.
Since starting work, her face has only shown seriousness and irritability, and the cute and quirky girl from her school days is gone.
But he was amused by Wang Yue's shamelessness, "Take it, it's a reward for you."
"Fine, you guys are secretly drinking behind my back, what about me?"
Li Ke'er pushed open the door and walked in. Pointing to herself, she saw the coffee in Wang Yue's hand and had a wicked idea. Unfortunately, Wang Yue saw through her and couldn't snatch it from her hand.
"Alright! Everyone gets a share. Can't you guys be a little more mature?"
As Huang Xiaoni spoke, she picked up the bag at her feet and took out three more cups from it. Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, you guys can take them, I'll take one more cup."
"Okay, let's get serious. I'm giving you a week of paid rest. Go have fun."
Huang Xiaoni took out a wad of cash from her bag and gave each of them 50,000 yuan. Li Ke'er and Wang Yue were the most excited, each of them grabbing one of Huang Xiaoni's legs – that's what it means to cling to someone's leg.
Chen Yu watched this scene with a smile. Since they could take a vacation, why not take Shen Yan out for some fun?
"I'll be going now~ See you next week."
Chen Yu, carrying her bag and coffee, drove home. Opening the door, she saw the perfectly natural scene: Chen Yan, wearing a pink apron, was mopping the living room floor. He paused for a moment when he saw Chen Yu return, "Is it already noon?"
"Haha, no, I've had a week off. Do you want to go out and have some fun?"
Where should we go for fun?
Shen Yan quietly took off his apron, his face already slightly flushed. He had finally managed to convince himself today, but Chen Yu had seen it and would probably make fun of him.
Is there anywhere you'd like to go?
"I don't know, I'll check later."
Chen Yu nodded, went upstairs to change into her pajamas, and Shen Yan mopped the floor clean. He was happily scrolling through his phone. He had originally wanted to find a job to ease some of Chen Yu's burden, but Chen Yu refused when she found out. She took out Shen Yan's card, which, although frozen, contained nearly 100 million yuan, which Shen Yan had earned before.
However, Chen Yu said that as long as Shen Yan regains his memory, he can reissue his ID card, and these unfreezing processes will be easy.
Shen Yan's daily task is to find familiar underworld locations to recover his memories.
Chen Yu was scrolling through her phone upstairs when she suddenly saw that her high school was going to hold a party that night, and people were allowed to come and go freely.
She saw this as an opportunity and immediately sent it to Jiang Yang and Wang Yue, saying that it could help Shen Yan recover some of his memories.
Wang Yue and Jiang Yang both agreed to meet at the crossroads at 7 p.m.
Back when I was in school, we used to gather at that place; thinking about it now brings back so many memories.
Chen Yu ran downstairs quickly, "Shall I take you back to your high school?"
"good."
Shen Yan readily agreed. Chen Yu spent the whole afternoon catching up on sleep, while Shen Yan cleaned the house and went to the supermarket to restock.
He encountered many acquaintances on the road, all of whom greeted him, but unfortunately, he didn't remember any of them and could only give a dry "hello".
night.
After finishing their meal, Chen Yu and Shen Yan changed their clothes and went to the crossroads to wait for Jiang Yang and Wang Yue.
The two arrived right on time. Jiang Yang was carrying a bag of sugarcane, and they each took one when they met.
"Where did you buy this? The ones I bought a few days ago weren't sweet," Wang Yue asked while munching on one.
"It's right across from my house, you must have bought it from the convenience store across the street, right?"
How did you know!?
"Their fruit is all stale, you idiot. Next time, buy it from the store across the street from mine."
Wang Yue nodded, planning to go check out the house across from Jiang Yang's tonight.
After walking for about ten minutes, the four arrived at the high school gate, where people were already walking inside.
Looking at the rebuilt gate, Chen Yu was incredibly excited. He turned to Chen Yan with excitement, "How is it? Have you remembered anything?"
"Not yet, let's go inside and take a look."
Although Shen Yan couldn't remember anything, he was still very curious. There was a sense of familiarity here, but he still couldn't recall anything.
The security guard at the gate was the same old man. Jiang Yang went up to him, gave him a sugarcane, and chatted with him for quite a while.
The old man recognized the four of them. Jiang Yang, Wang Yue, and Chen Yu were often late, while Shen Yan was the least late.
Once, the four of them climbed over the wall and were discovered by the old man. As a result, Jiang Yang had a long talk with the old man and got rid of the need to tell the homeroom teacher.
After that, Jiang Yang took special care of the old man, and would buy him a gift whenever he bought something.
After the discussion, everyone went to the playground. Many things had been rebuilt, and the playground was much larger. The four of them found a place to sit down.
Midway through the performance, Shen Yan needed to use the restroom. Chen Yu wanted to accompany him, but Shen Yan refused, wanting to explore on his own.
He followed his instincts to the third-floor restroom. As soon as he stepped inside, several images flashed through his mind: the three of them grinning at him. However, he stood motionless at the restroom door, soaking wet, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Shen Yance felt a sharp pain in his head.
He seemed to remember something, but why were they all bad memories?
All I could think about was Chen Yu's vicious expression and his question, "Why don't you just die?"
Shen Yan shook his head, leaned against the wall, and walked to the sink. He splashed water on his face, his mind filled with thoughts of the past.
He always felt this wasn't real; Chen Yu couldn't possibly treat him like this.
All the bad memories flooded back, and Chen Yan walked out of the restroom in a daze. He looked at Chen Yu, who was laughing happily, from afar. Was all of this real?
Did Chen Yu really treat herself like this before?
He forced a smile and returned to his seat. Chen Yu leaned over and asked him, "Why did you take so long?"
"I couldn't find my way back."
Chen Yu nodded and continued watching the performance on stage.
