Chapter 4 Kissing her ex-husband, she thought, she is finished
It was dusk, and the house was dark and silent.
Chi Liuai looked at the man lying on the sofa with his back to her. He Jinze rarely wore formal clothes of this style. The colors were dark and the tailoring was exquisite. The automatic curtains slowly stretched on both sides. The floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the afterglow of the setting sun and hit the man's broad shoulders, jaw, straight nose, and handsome profile, more elegant and steady than usual.
The two were not far from each other, and Chi Liuai's heart was moved by his sharp temperament.
Walk forward quickly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man's hand resting on the document, his fingers clearly knuckled, his shirt sleeves rolled up above his elbows, bulging blue veins emanating from the white cuffs, extending upwards and disappearing into the sleeves.
"Brother, no matter how busy you are at work, you must make sure to rest!" Chi Liuai didn't look at him any more. She put her slender arms around the man's neck from behind, rubbed the man's throat with the inside of her elbow, and her fingertips drooped, touching a cold cuff.
Noticing that the other person stiffened slightly, she followed the man's head tilt, took the initiative to please him, and kissed him.
Meng Yuzhi suppressed the discomfort caused by the rich mint scent invading his lungs, his eyes darkening.
The familiar refreshing feeling is like a sticky termite in the spine that keeps gnawing at me.
His head ached and his temples were throbbing violently.
Suddenly, a kiss, as light as a dragonfly touching the water.
Meng Yuzhi's eyes instantly swept over the document in his hand, which was a psychological therapy record, and the content at the very end of the document was clearly recorded.
[Psychiatrist Ling: Mr. Meng, in your memory, what is the most common intimate behavior your wife performs?]
[Meng Yuzhi: We hugged each other tightly, and she gave me a kiss.]
Memories flooded back like a tide.
His wife was too weak. In order to get a chance to breathe, she would try to climb up, but the harder she tried, the weaker she felt.
At that time, there was a salty and damp smell at the tip of the nose.
When Chi Liuai saw clearly the cufflinks he was playing with on his fingertips, it felt like they were soaked in cold water.
She's finished.
Chi Liuai thought she was finished.
"Ah!" After the shrill cry, there was a low moan from the girl as she fell to the ground. The man on the sofa did not take the initiative to help her up.
The man slowly straightened his collar, which was wrinkled by Chi Liuai's restless little hands. He stood in front of the brown sandalwood desk, with the vast world outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
The cold light reflected by the cufflink inlaid with blue diamonds and the solemnity concentrated in the man's deep eyes were locked on Chi Liuai.
Chi Liuai didn't dare to look up again, his lips trembling.
——It’s Meng Yuzhi.
"What are you doing!?"
At the same time, He Jinze strode forward, and the door of the lounge hit the wall. Before the sound faded away, he was already half-kneeling beside Chi Liuai.
Those hands, with thin calluses and slightly cold, clasped Chi Liuai's shoulders tightly.
Looking at Chi Liuai falling to the ground with a guilty look on his face, and then looking at Meng Yuzhi tidying up his clothes, the atmosphere was subtle, and even the dumbest person could guess what had just happened.
He Jinze stood up suddenly, his chest heaving, pointing at Meng Yuzhi, gritting his teeth—
"Brother, why did you hit my wife?"
When he heard the word "brother", Chi Liuai almost fainted.
He Jinze's words were like a spark, igniting a tense atmosphere that also affected Chi Liuai.
Meng Yuzhi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again, not wanting to look at He Jinze any more. He re-examined the woman next to him. After a moment, he leaned forward, extended his hand, and smiled, "Are you Jinze's girlfriend? Did I scare you just now?"
Chi Liuai was stunned. He Jinze took the lead in helping her up, and Chi Liuai subconsciously leaned on him.
The two of them were like a pair of magpies snuggling together.
Meng Yuzhi, whose smile did not reach his eyes, seemed particularly redundant. He didn't know if it was He Jinze's illusion, but from the moment he entered the door, he felt unprecedented scrutiny and warning in Meng Yuzhi's eyes.
"He really didn't do anything to you?"
He Jinze's hands were a little rough, which made her feel uncomfortable. She struggled awkwardly to free her wrists, but to no avail. He Jinze held her waist tightly.
"Okay, Jin Ze, it's all a misunderstanding." Meng Yuzhi smiled and said, "You scared the little girl."
Chi Liuai's heart trembled. Meng Yuzhi could not recognize her.
But he helped himself to conceal the overstepping of the boundaries.
The situation before her was beyond her comprehension. She tentatively glanced at the man's forehead. The scar was not obvious. Only people who knew about the car accident knew where Meng Yuzhi was injured.
"real?"
"Yeah." Chi Liuai nodded, still feeling a lingering fear. "This is all your fault! Why aren't you in the office? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
It seemed that Chi Liuai was not at fault for not recognizing her boyfriend.
He felt at ease and passed the responsibility to He Jinze.
He Jinze compromised and coaxed her a few words, as if it was normal.
When they first fell in love, he often wondered who had cultivated Chi Liuai's spoiled personality.
In short, it’s best not to be a wild man.
He Jinze's eyes dimmed as he thought of the important matter: "Let me introduce you, this is my brother."
He added, "Distant cousin."
Chi Liuai tamed every muscle on his face, pulled it stiffly, and finally forced a smile towards the man who pointed at He Jinze.
He said softly, "Brother Yuzhi."
Then, there was silence.
In the end, Meng Yuzhi nodded lightly and said "hmm" without any other response.
——
Chi Liuai instructed the driver to adjust the cyclone in the car to the maximum and slowly close the windows.
She slumped down and curled up in a corner, taking a deep breath.
For a moment, my heart finally started beating violently.
She looked up and saw the long video projected on the big screen at the intersection. It had been more than ten days and it still hadn't been removed.
The escaped lover, Chi Liuai closed his eyes.
I insisted, "Let's go to the airport now! Tell my brother I'm going to Spain first!"
"Miss Chi, the young master said you must wait in the car until he finishes his official business. Mr. Meng's special assistant called and said that if you feel bored, you can go to Mr. Meng's business car to have some fun."
Chi Liuai responded: "I'm going to Spain by plane, not by van!"
The driver was silent, and the sound of the car door being locked could be heard.
All right......
At least she was lucky, wasn't she?
Meng Yuzhi seemed to have forgotten her.
When Chi Liuai thought of this, she felt a little sour and swollen in her heart. She attributed this to the excitement of surviving the disaster.
She used to wish Meng Yuzhi would leave her.
Isn’t it?
"What I mean is, brother, do you doubt that you were married? Your wife is not dead."
"You haven't completely lost your memory, but you can't recall your wife's appearance or name. Did those members of the Meng family bribe the private psychiatrists nearby to interfere with your treatment?"
Inside the room, He Jinze carefully studied the medical record.
Marriage, car accident, amnesia.
Even He Jinze was unaware of these three things, which shows how much the Meng family takes them seriously.
According to He Jinze's medical experience, memory loss isn't difficult to treat. Meng Yuzhi's brain tests showed normal indicators, suggesting it's simply a mental illness. He Jinze flipped back and realized that repetition of his wife's lifestyle habits would be the best treatment, a medical term known as "real-life desensitization."
He Jinze paused.
Laughed out loud.
[Greedy, lying, crybaby, biting.]
In the cold psychological treatment records, the only remaining impression of his wife is like a bold stroke of color in the gray world, adding a bit of fun.
I didn't expect that there was another woman like this in the world besides Chi Liuai.
At the same time, the comparison between men was inappropriate. It turned out that the big brother who was excellent in every way in my memory would also fall hard in love.
It turns out that Meng Yuzhi will also be abandoned.
What about Chi Liuai? It was obvious that Chi Liuai would not abandon himself, because he would not give such an opportunity.
"It's not difficult. Three months of home treatment is the best option." He Jinze also agreed that Meng Yuzhi should stay at the He residence to facilitate his treatment. "But I have to go on vacation with my little one. She's been pestering me for a long time and is very clingy. Brother, you should understand, right? I only go along with her when I have time."
Meng Yuzhi leaned on the sofa, his elbows resting on his sides, his hands crossed in front of his abdomen, his back to the door, and chuckled at the smug man in front of him, "No rush, why not have fun with love?"
As soon as He Jinze left the company, he received the news that his grandfather was in the hospital. His vacation plan was ruined, so he asked the driver to take Chi Liuai home and take good care of him.
Before leaving, he kissed the girl's forehead, smoothed her frown, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Grandpa is fine. As we get older, everyone goes to the hospital more often. I'll make it up to you when I get home tonight. Be good."
Eight o'clock in the evening, He Family Old House Restaurant.
Chi Liuai frowned and looked miserable.
Meng Yuzhi was eating elegantly.
She turned to look at He Jinze as if asking for help.
Why is he here?
Have a meal.
Why is he here!
Have a meal.
"Did I disturb you?" Meng Yuzhi put down his knife and fork.
"Brother, wouldn't it be clear if you just ask yourself?" He Jinze sneered, and saw the girl next to him almost lowering her face to the plate, "Baby, do you think you are a dish?"
Chi Liuai only felt a light laugh coming from above her head. Just as she was making an excuse to leave, heavy and orderly footsteps were heard in the corridor.
A man in a suit and tie appeared beside Meng Yuzhi and leaned over.
"Mr. Meng, the Qiao family has sent someone to return the items."
Chi Liuai guessed that this man should be Meng Yuzhi's assistant, so where was Chen Hui?
Did helping her affect Chen Hui?
Meng Yuzhi opened the gift box and glanced at the items inside with an expressionless face.
He closed it again, and the assistant took it and stopped Chi Liuai who was about to leave.
Chi Liuai took the gift box with both hands and was stunned.
A meeting gift? It should be very expensive. She should be able to accept it, right?
Meng Yuzhi smiled and nodded slightly at her, indicating that it should be opened. He Jinze did not try to stop him. Three pairs of eyes were staring at her.
She could only open it, thinking that she might as well accept it reluctantly.
She has no shortage of luxuries, but no one would complain about having too much money.
In the early years, after Chi Liuai received the most luxurious gift for the first time, she went to sleep every night wearing necklaces, watches, bracelets, earrings, rings, etc., and dreamed of getting rich. She dreamed that she was a little dragon guarding a magnificent mountain of gold and gems. Many times when she woke up in the morning, her body was covered with bruises and bloodstains.
She said it was a symbol of wealth.
Chi Liuai's smile froze on his face.
The necklace is uniquely designed and eye-catching. A closer look reveals that it is made up of ten rings of varying sizes, carved in series, inlaid with blue diamonds, and the fine silver threads...
Snap! Chi Liuai closed the door, not daring to read any further.
The necklace she gave to Qiao Ya returned to her hands, and it was returned by Meng Yuzhi.
"Don't you like it?" Meng Yuzhi leaned back and looked up. The assistant took the gift box from Chi Liuai and returned it to Meng Yuzhi. Meng Yuzhi sighed and continued, "I think if it were my wife, she would love it and would excitedly wear it to sleep, protecting her property like a guardian dragon in a fairy tale."
"Hey, brother, are you ready for treatment now?"
Meng Yuzhi's words made He Jinze feel confused. What does his wife's like or not have to do with Chi Liuai?
Chi Liuai is greedy for money, but he wouldn't sleep with a broken necklace in his arms. It would be strange if he wasn't disgusted.
In other words, Meng Yuzhi had other intentions.
——He used Chi Liuai as a therapeutic tool to recall his wife's memories.
In an instant, He Jinze supported Chi Liuai's waist with one hand, pinched her chin with the other hand, and lifted it up to declare his sovereignty.
The movement of his mouth continued, but his eyes scanned Meng Yuzhi without moving.
Meng Yuzhi grew up abroad in his early years, and kissing was not a very private act. He did not blame the two for their offense and continued to eat.
It was like I didn’t see anything.
The only one who was frightened by this kiss was Chi Liuai.
She doesn't have the habit of kissing her boyfriend in front of her ex-husband.
One entanglement failed, the other entanglement is unclear.
Chi Liuai's eyes were furious, and he bit hard. He Jinze gasped and wiped the blood from the corner of the girl's mouth. He grinned and said to Meng Yuzhi, "The best treatment plan is to recall the scene. Can you still remember your first meeting?"
It started raining again, and the sound of rain could be heard outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The ceiling lights in the restaurant were dim and the scarlet candlelight seemed unnecessary in the quiet and vast space, flickering and about to go out.
When Chi Liuai heard this, his heart sank.
Suddenly, her wrist felt warm. It was a jade bracelet. He Jinze, while talking to Meng Yuzhi, used his hand, which dangled beneath the tablecloth, to help her put it on. It was compensation for the promise of a vacation that he had made but failed to keep. Chi Liuai's hand was still in his palm, rubbing it, and both of their hands were tightly warm.
The tenderness hidden in the dark was replaced by a subtle and harsh friction.
The sharp knife and fork scraped across the plate, and Meng Yuzhi's rudeness stopped after he put down the cutlery and wiped his lips.
Chi Liuai raised his eyes and found that Meng Yuzhi's gaze was on him.
She subconsciously pulled her hand back.
"I remember." Meng Yuzhi said, looking at Chi Liuai who was sitting across from him, lowering his eyes, "We met at a banquet."
Chi Liuai's stomach clenched tightly. She remembered this banquet.
"She's right across from me."
She came face to face with him.
Chi Liuai glanced guiltily and looked out the window, where the branches were swaying in the wind and rain.
It was raining that day too.
“It was raining that day too.”
