Chapter 9: Didn’t you say you wanted to change it?
Sandwiches?! That's definitely not what he said. He has no such hobbies or interests.
"Then stop pretending and go and win He Nan back. I won't bother him anymore. Tell me about any misunderstandings and I can explain them to you." This is the difficult part. He doesn't know what he did to cause them to break up. He wants to figure out how many inexplicable misunderstandings there are, but he has no memory at all.
I want to help but don't know where to start.
Jiang Zhi turned back to the car. "I've figured it out now. Some people are just passing through after all." He sighed and fastened his seat belt. He turned around and saw someone sitting next to him. "Who let you get in the car?!"
"Take me home." Su Yin fastened his seatbelt, lowering his head and letting his legs droop. "I'm tired." His legs were numb from cycling back and forth. Six years of no exercise had left him in very average shape. In the past, running three laps around the playground wouldn't have given him a reaction.
Plus, I went to the gym for two hours today, so it’s not good to do more aerobic exercise than necessary.
"Get out of the car. I won't give my love rival a ride." Jiang Zhi put his hands on the steering wheel and refused to start the car.
"What a petty rival. I've only loved Pei Weixue from the beginning to the end." Su Yin glanced at the surrounding signs and said, "You should get a ticket. You can't park here for too long."
No matter how much the people who controlled him liked He Nan, it wasn't him who did it.
Thinking back to those immortality novels, I wondered if it was a possession, but the signature and brushstrokes were exactly like mine, so that didn't make sense. The most likely possibility was that I was under a spell, as I thought the other day.
The eyes were dull in the photo on the marriage certificate, and the date and time of the confession were so close. Even if he didn't like Pei Weixue anymore, he wouldn't give up so quickly. Jiang Zhi had only returned to China half a year ago, and He Nan had also met him half a year ago.
That painting in the studio was also drawn six months ago. The other design drafts were all drawn in the past six months. So, for the first five and a half years, he was just sitting around waiting for death? No, I need to find a master to take a look.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhi received a text message on his phone about fines and points deductions. He glared at Su Yinxin, who was driving reluctantly, and said, "Get out of the car at the next intersection."
Su Yin said, "I don't want it. What's wrong with you driving me home? Is Young Master Jiang still short of this little gas money?"
"Heh..." Jiang Zhi sneered, "I dare not pretend to be a young master in front of you."
Su Yin looked at him, "Okay. Stop pretending. If you want to get back together with He Nan, I can help."
The displeasure on Jiang Zhi's face faded a little, and he tilted his ear: "How can I help?"
Su Yin reached out and patted his mouth, "Open your mouth, explain it clearly if there is any misunderstanding, don't just pretend with an open mouth." If he knew what the misunderstanding was, he really wanted to be a loudspeaker.
Huh? A loudspeaker? Yeah. Pei Weixue was ignoring him now, like there was a mute in the family. He really needed to become a loudspeaker. That way, they could complement each other.
Just a little sad.
Pei Weixue in his memory was never dumb. Often, a few casual words could make him so angry that he wanted to turn the brocade quilt over and over again. Occasionally, when they argued, he could never win the argument with his little mouth.
How did it become like this?
Jiang Zhi scoffed, "I'm Jiang Zhi! It's impossible for me to beg for peace and explanation. Why shouldn't he do it? Even though you're interfering, it's also his fault that he insists on believing in you, right?"
"Oh. If you don't want to beg for peace, why don't you run around Henan's company?" Su Yin exposed his pretense. He leaned back holding his backpack. It was so comfortable to ride in a sports car. The wind was much better than sweating. He didn't know if Xue'er had arrived home when he got back later. He had to ask her again if she was willing to be his model.
He only remembered Pei Weixue's measurements from six years ago. They must have changed over the years. Pei Weixue liked to wear long trench coats. He tried to scan them with his eyes, but couldn't find any. After he put them on, Pei Weixue was wearing a sweater and a long trench coat, and he couldn't even see her waist.
Stop. Su Yin, that's a bit vulgar. Stop thinking about Pei Weixue's waist.
Jiang Zhi didn't care what his mind was wandering to. He propped his head up with his arms and pretended to be serious. "We're just here for a ride. I lied to you about asking for peace."
"I'm lying to you, please." Su Yin repeated it in a sarcastic tone. Seeing Jiang Zhi's face full of the expression that wanted to hit him, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Just kidding. But Zhiya, don't you and I understand? You've loved pretending since you were a child. You really should stop pretending. I don't know what's going on between you and him. If you really like him, don't miss it just for the sake of face."
The more Jiang Zhi listened, the angrier he got. "Am I pretending? Aren't you the one who started it all? You told him so many bad things about me, and he wouldn't even meet me. He'd rather get drunk and solicit investment than use my money."
Su Yin was surprised and asked, "What bad things did I say!" Jiang Zhi just liked to pretend, so even if he said something, he wouldn't be able to say anything. They grew up together and knew each other very well, so he couldn't just lie, right?
"Tell him that I've been promiscuous since I was sixteen. Tell him that I chose him because he looks like Dun'er." Jiang Zhi didn't doubt Su Yin's series of questions, but just vented his dissatisfaction.
He has a hard time too. He only has this one brother, and when he got a boyfriend he introduced him to his first brother, but this is the result.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he was breaking off the relationship. Su Yin was really loyal. At least before the incident, he cared about this brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Su Yin for help when the relationship was in trouble. He would have done whatever Su Yin asked him to do. The situation got worse and worse.
"Puff! Cough cough cough..." Su Yin almost choked to death on his own saliva, "Promiscuous at the age of sixteen? Dun'er?! How does he look like him?"
Although he had never seen He Nan in person, he had a certain understanding of his appearance from the numerous photos in his phone. Even if there was a difference between the photos and the real person, it would definitely not be much.
Dun'er was a transfer student who had joined their class in junior high. He was tall and strong, and came from a well-off family. He was always bullying others because of his family background. At that time, Jiang Zhi had also been making trouble, and Dun'er and his men had surrounded and beaten him in the bathroom. As soon as he heard about it, he rushed in.
Because of this incident, he almost got a serious warning. There was nothing else memorable about Dun'er, except for his bald head and a red spot on his eyelid. He didn't know if it was a mole, but it looked very similar.
"Wait." He Nan in the photo did seem to have a mole on his eyelid, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Jiang Zhi snorted coldly, "What else? I don't know why he believed you. He came to ask me if I was using him as a substitute. I used a shit, that guy and I don't get along. I must have been crazy to find a substitute for him!"
Su Yin: “…” It’s indeed a bit curious.
Su Yin: "I deserve to die." 'He deserves to die!' He left such a mess for him to clean up.
"You don't have to die." Jiang Zhi saw the red light ahead and slowly stopped the car, turning his head sideways. "Su Yin. I don't know what's wrong with you. He Nan was stupid enough to believe your provocation. You wanted to steal my girl, and I can let it go. But Aunt Yue is your mother, how could you contradict her? And Pei Weixue, I don't understand either. I can see your feelings for him. How could you change so suddenly?"
"You don't know, Pei Weixue came to see me once two months ago."
Su Yin suddenly raised his head, "Looking for you?! What did you say?! About me?!"
Jiang Zhi nodded, "Yeah. Begged me to get He Nan back. Otherwise, do you think I'm the type to ask for a reconciliation after breaking up? I didn't expect you to divorce him anyway. What were you thinking? He is Pei Weixue, your muse. It was Pei Weixue who gave up studying abroad with a famous teacher to accompany him to recover from his illness."
A sigh came from the passenger seat.
During his junior year, Ye Lin asked him if he wanted to study design abroad at a top university for five years, after which he could open his own fashion show. Pei Weixue's color blindness hadn't healed yet, so he declined.
Later, the teacher finally compromised and said that they could go out together for six months after graduation. He really wanted to go, so he didn't refuse. He thought it was only six months, it would pass in a short time. There was still a long time before graduation, and Pei Weixue's color blindness would definitely be cured by then, so he didn't have any scruples.
The teacher had told him many times how regrettable it was to give up that opportunity, as opportunities are hard to come by. But Pei Weixue needed him, too. Pei Weixue had no relatives back home to contact, and lived alone in a rented house off campus. He had few friends and classmates, and it was a crucial time for his treatment, so he couldn't let go.
Until now, only the teacher and Jiang Zhi knew about this matter. He had not told his mother or Pei Weixue. He did not like to "force a favor"; it was originally a matter of mutual consent.
In fact, there was a bit of arrogance at work. He felt that even without that further study, he could still have his own personal fashion show and become a top fashion designer.
"Zhi Ya. I love him. I have loved him since the first time I told you that I fell in love with someone. It has never changed." Su Yin didn't know how to explain those ridiculous six years, the outrageous change of heart and the despicable behavior, but the only thing he could be sure of was that even with his body six years later, his heart still beat for Pei Weixue.
If he was not being controlled and really did not love Pei Weixue, even if he 'traveled' to six years later, his heart would not be moved by Pei Weixue anymore. His body said it clearly whether he loved her or not.
The heartache he felt when he knew Pei Weixue was going to break up with him was real. It was not a conscious heartache, but a pain like peeling off layers of silk in his heart.
"You love him, you cheated on him." Jiang Zhi said disdainfully, "You still accuse me of pretending, but I think you are the biggest pretender, you don't admit what you did."
Su Yin covered his face and sighed deeply, as if all his helplessness was diffused in the air with his breath. He took his hands off and stared at the traffic with a blank look. "I will find the reason."
"There's a reason for cheating. It's nerves."
After getting off the car at the gate of the community, Su Yin gathered his thoughts and wanted to say goodbye to Jiang Zhi, but the other person stepped on the accelerator very hard.
As soon as he entered the elevator, he heard a familiar voice from outside, "Wait a minute!"
His eyes lit up and he immediately blocked the elevator door. Pei Weixue walked quickly to the door, reeking of alcohol. When he saw Su Yin inside, he was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and walked in as if nothing had happened.
"Xue'er, have you been drinking?"
Pei Weixue stared at the buttons, "Didn't you say you wanted to change it?"
Su Yin was puzzled: "Huh?"
Pei Weixue glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and remained silent.
