Memories
June 12, 20xx
I've been adopted. I'm sorry, Lanlan, it was my fault.
June 20, 20xx
The person named Su Yao hasn't shown up yet. I wonder if she's the woman I saw at the orphanage. Lanlan, Mom, how have you been lately?
July 3, 20xx
Judging from the voice, it's a woman. She seems nice to me. Lanlan, have you been taking your medicine properly? Mom, are you still working so hard lately?
July 18, 20xx
Su is coming back, and she... is very beautiful.
July 19, 20xx
She took me to school. The school is great. This should be a chance for my younger sister...
July 20, 20xx
Su Yao hasn't come back yet. She promised to have dinner with me... I'll wait a little longer, she should be back soon.
August 2, 20xx
Su hasn't been back for a long time. She said she's very busy, and I... miss her a little.
August 19, 20xx
Why haven't they come back yet? School is starting soon, and I don't know if we'll ever see each other again.
August 21, 20xx
She's back. Here's a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. I hope she likes it.
August 23, 20xx
Is it my fault that Su wants to move?
August 30, 20xx
Su didn't meet me as promised, and the person who came was that younger brother again.
September 1, 20xx
She took me to school (hand-drawn heart)
She picked me up from school (hand-drawn heart)
She touched my head...
September 4, 20xx
She came to see me, took me to the amusement park, and even wanted to throw me a family reunion banquet. She was very kind to me, but I...
September 7, 20xx
Why doesn't Su Yao come to see me? I don't like her brother because he doesn't like me... Never mind, I don't hate him either, because he's Su Yao's brother.
September 11, 20xx
I saw Su Yao at the family reunion banquet. She was with her friends, but I wasn't there. I've started to like strawberries.
September 12, 20xx
Is she angry because of my work?
October 27, 20xx
Today, she took me to see Anlan. I... I don't want to lie to her anymore. She's probably very angry. Su Yao, I'm sorry.
November 5, 20xx
Why hasn't Su come to see me yet? I regret it so much.
November 16, 20xx
She came to the parent-teacher conference, which made her happy, but she still regretted it.
December 9, 20xx
Will she be cold in winter?
January 13, 20xx
Happy birthday, Su Yao.
Looking at her WeChat Moments, she seemed very happy, with her friends. Without me, will there be a chance in the future?
February 11, 20xx
Happy Chinese New Year, Su Yao.
Looking at my WeChat Moments, Lanlan and her mother are doing well, and Aunt Hong has also gone home for the holidays.
She sent me dumplings and a red envelope today. I found a coin in one of the dumplings, which I thought was good luck. Sure enough, she called me to wish me a Happy New Year.
March 5, 20xx
School started and she didn't see me off anymore. But now I no longer regret it. A lie is a lie, regardless of whether it's well-intentioned or malicious.
April 29, 20xx
She personally delivered the cake and wished me a happy birthday. Yes, I was very happy.
May 1, 20xx
She took me out to play, and those were the happiest days of my life because of her.
June 27, 20xx
Will she be able to see me again after the end of the semester?
July 23, 20xx
Mom said Lanlan is recovering very well, and things are getting better and better at home. Should I find an opportunity to thank her so that... I can see her too?
August 7, 20xx
She said it's hot in the Northern Hemisphere, so she'll take me skiing in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm not sure if she's gotten over her anger; maybe she has, but I'm afraid...
September 12, 20xx
I haven't seen her for a long time, ever since I came back from skiing, but I can't stop dreaming about her.
October 30, 20xx
Autumn is here, and the weather is getting cooler. Remember to take good care of yourself.
November 18, 20xx
When she came back from her business trip, it was still tomato and egg noodles.
December 25, 20xx
I gave out the "peace apples" yesterday, and she said she rarely celebrates foreign holidays. I know that now.
January 13, 20xx
Congratulations on growing another year older, Su Yao.
This year, she and her friends brought me along too. Su Yao, I don't want to stand in the corner watching you anymore.
February 14, 20xx
Happy Valentine's Day, Su Yao.
When I gave her the gift, she mistook it for a New Year's present. It's okay, I'll just accept it.
March 2, 20xx
I want her to take me to school.
April 29, 20xx
We slept together. Su doesn't want to take responsibility, what a scumbag.
May 28, 20xx
Am I any good? Su Yao.
June 4, 20xx
Su Yao, do you really want me to go abroad? You're so heartless.
July 16, 20xx
How did someone with the surname Bai suddenly appear? He's my ex-boyfriend, is that so great? Has he been with me for longer?
August 24, 20xx
I signed the contract, I was scammed, and I'm going abroad.
Are you finally calmed down, Su?
September 6, 20xx
I'm leaving, Su Yao. Aren't you coming to see me?
That's so mean! I wouldn't even like you.
You won, Su Yao. Will you miss me?
The diary ends here; September 6th of that year was the day An Chi left the country.
It seems he didn't take the diary with him.
Sue wanted to close it and put it back in the cabinet.
The mint in my mouth melted into small pieces, which actually made it taste bitter.
She made no comment, simply pretending that none of this had happened.
Escaping seemed to be her only solution to dealing with An Chi. Su Yao was willing to face most people and things directly, and she didn't believe she was incapable of solving them, but An Chi was the only one she could deal with.
She couldn't face it.
He has his principles, and she has no right to interfere from beginning to end.
From the moment An's mother handed him over to her, Su Yao knew that this was destined to be a troublesome matter. She thought that ending the relationship would change things, but she never expected it to develop like this.
"Why didn't you go back?" An Chi stood at the door of the study, his voice still hoarse, as if he had just woken up and hadn't opened his mouth yet.
Su looked at him, her emotions a mix of feelings, but her acting was always excellent: "You're still not awake, how can I ignore you? Now that you're awake, let's go eat."
She followed behind him. He was now very tall, and his figure was no longer as thin as before. Instead, looking at his back, she could see muscles through his thin clothes, and his shaved head showed a youthful disdain.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Aunt Hong heated up the food and placed it on the table. Su was about to speak when she said, "Aunt Hong, you've worked hard today. You should go home now."
"Miss, the young master still has a fever," Aunt Hong reminded her, wanting to take care of An Chi.
Before Su Yao could speak, An Chi said, "Su Yao is here, Aunt Hong, you can go back now."
Seeing that the two of them were so insistent, Aunt Hong simply left.
Aunt Hong has never lived here. Su's original intention in buying this house was to be with Bai Lutong. It was inconvenient to have a maid living here all the time, so she discussed the accommodation with Aunt Hong in advance and paid for her morning and evening commutes.
Currently, she has no such intention; she simply wants Aunt Hong to take good care of An Chi, but An Chi is unwilling, and she does not object.
Only the two people at the dining table remained in the large house. Su had already eaten, but didn't continue eating, instead watching An Chi eat.
An Chi always ate quietly, just like he was. His chopsticks never hit his bowl, and he chewed slowly with his mouth closed. He also put his utensils down without making a sound. Su Yao was never worried about his table manners. Even without anyone teaching him, he did them just as well, so she would invite him to some gatherings.
The way he eats has remained unchanged over the years. Only these similarities to the past can allow Su to temporarily forget the years he has been away.
He casually mentioned that he wanted to go back to Anjia's house for dinner with him this weekend.
It must be a request from An's mother's side.
Su Yao saw that he seemed to have "forgotten the pain once the wound healed," but she didn't want to meddle, so she said that she was going to Shang Jiuqi's place this weekend to help prepare for the wedding.
After dinner, Su asked Xiaobai to clean up, but Anchi silently returned to his room without saying a word to her.
Su felt something was off, and feeling uneasy, she went to his room as well.
He was holding a laptop and typing away on the keyboard, looking very busy.
Su frowned slightly: "If you're sick, just take good care of yourself. Don't you have other leaders in your company?"
After learning that An Chi was working at "Yao" that day, she asked someone to keep an eye on the company. Only after knowing that everything was fine did she feel relieved.
"I am the only person in charge of the China region." His lips were rosier than when he first arrived, but his complexion was still just as pale.
Su smoothed her hair and smiled faintly: "It's amazing that your new company has grown so big, with branches in different regions."
"Yes, I set up the China region after returning to China. We're currently trying to attract investment, but it's causing some trouble." He told her everything without holding anything back.
Su Yao didn't know how to make fun of him. It seemed like he had done everything for himself from beginning to end.
In order to prove to himself that he was worth using.
She couldn't stand it anymore, so she pushed the computer down and said, "I'll invest in you, you should get some rest."
An Chi looked up, his expression unreadable. Su Yao waved his hand, wanting to say that he didn't need to thank him, but An Chi cut him off with a kiss: "No need, I've found a better option."
He used to say he was the best choice, but now he says there are better options. Su wants to glare at this "fickle" man.
"Who did you choose?" She wanted to hear what the better option was.
He shut down the computer and looked at Su Yao, who was furious: "Zhiheng."
"Zhiheng" is a business owned by the Xu family. According to An Chi's original selection criteria, he did not want such a large enterprise, but now things have changed.
Before she could ask, he said directly, "Zhiheng and our company do the same type of projects, which are suitable for large investments. However, Su's is a diversified enterprise, while your company is an investment company. Neither of us can invest a large amount of money without expecting a return. At first, we did not choose Zhiheng because we were afraid that Zhiheng would not want to deal with a small company like ours. But when we submitted our project cooperation proposal, they agreed. So Zhiheng is indeed a better choice. We just didn't expect it to be successful."
When An Chi spoke, his lips slowly turned white again, and his ears were burned red all the way to the brown mole. The contrast between the red and white made him look sexy and charming.
Su Yao didn't consider herself a lecherous person, otherwise she probably would have fallen for the more handsome Pei Zhixi instead of choosing Bai Lutong who moved her. But now, she always felt that An Chi had changed. He was no longer the child he used to be, but more like an adult. She felt that she should also change her mind about treating him like a child.
She nodded. "Then go to sleep when you're done. I'll go to another room. Call me if you need anything."
He took her hand, the icy feeling washing over her. "Sleeping here will make it easier for you to take care of me."
She used her other hand to pull his hand away, saying, "Men and women should not touch each other."
"Don't you treat me like a child? Sleeping with your own child, what's wrong with that?" He retorted quickly, his reaction not at all like someone who had lost their mind.
She gave an awkward laugh: "How old are you?"
"No matter how old you are, you're still a child. Your mother doesn't want to treat me like a normal man now, does she?" He always had a way. Su Yao always felt that if she agreed to this, he could immediately pin her down and let her feel how hot his penis was.
Before Su Yao could even agree, he had already given up his spot, pulled back the covers, and waited for Su Yao to get into bed, as if he was certain that she would sleep next to him.
If she had left immediately, there was nothing he could have done.
But while she hesitated, he added, "It hurts so much, Mom."
An Chi wouldn't call Su Yao "Mom," because he always felt that would really put their relationship on a pedestal. He preferred the flirtatious term "Mother."
Su had to admit that she had softened her heart. This reminded her of An's mother's indifference towards her, and even more so of her own mother who had left her. She was still lying next to him, and as soon as she covered herself with the blanket, she was enveloped in his warmth.
He held her in his arms, just like the day he returned home.
Su was exhausted after a long day and drifted off to sleep. She felt warm all over but unusually comfortable. Normally, she would feel cold even with the air conditioning on, but today it was just right.
An Chi, who was sleeping next to her, had been asleep all day and wasn't tired. He opened his eyes, looked at her, and murmured, "Luckily, I knew you'd respond better to gentleness than force. Could you only do this to me?"
