Chapter 130
There's a tassel tree in Jiaojiao's yard. It was a sapling Jiang Yi sent after he took over the Jiang Group. Jiaojiao and her father planted it themselves, and it's now lush and flourishing.
The tassel tree is also called April snow. It blooms from March to April every year. When the flowers are in full bloom, the whole tree looks like it is covered with "snow". When the wind blows, the "snow" will float all over the yard with the wind.
This is a snow that came at the beginning of summer, falling in the sunshine, very dreamy and beautiful.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting by the window and drawing something in the yard, reached out his hand to catch the snow-white petals, which fell into his palm. The light from the window also lingered on his profile. In the bright light and shadow, a faint smile was on his lips. His eyes, as dark as a clear pond, were reflected by the sunlight from the window, as if they were covered with tiny starlight.
Putting the petals in her hand on the table, Jiaojiao looked at the people under the tree in the yard, holding up her face with a little distress, poking her forehead with the tip of a pen, and thinking about how to start.
"No need to persuade him." Li Yubai walked over to Jiaojiao and sat down. He glanced at the purple needle holes on the back of his hands and arms, and frowned unconsciously.
Jiaojiao reached out and smoothed her father's frown. Her dark eyes curved slightly as she spoke to comfort him, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt at all."
Li Yubai didn't say anything. He raised his hand and rubbed Jiaojiao's still furry head, then turned his head to look at the source of Jiaojiao's troubles in the yard, Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had not gained much weight over the years and was still as thin as before. His pale face was filled with a gloomy and terrifying chill, giving people an increasingly sinister feeling.
He has been so crazy over the years that it is jaw-dropping. Since he was fifteen years old, he has only slept five hours a day, and spent the rest of his time studying, studying, and studying, madly absorbing all the knowledge that can help him.
A year after taking over the Jiang Group, he became so crazy that he only slept four hours a day. He spent two years turning the entire Jiang Group into his own one-man show, and then began to develop crazily, investing heavily and acquiring all the industrial companies he was optimistic about.
Several times, the Jiang Group almost hit rock bottom because of him, but he saved the day at the last moment and even helped it rise to a higher level.
The repeated danger and the terrifying intensity with which he dragged the Jiang Group into a gamble were no less than those of a vicious gambler who had lost his temper.
Over the years, he has been standing on the edge of the law, making money frantically without touching the bottom line of the law.
Whenever he made money, he would transfer it to Jiaojiao's bank card. If Jiaojiao didn't want it, he would pretend to be pitiful, aggrieved, and lost. In short, he would try every possible way to make Jiaojiao accept his money.
If Jiaojiao still doesn't want her after this, he will buy her a house and a villa, various luxury cars and top-of-the-line jewelry, and all expensive and value-preserving things.
Spending money on Jiaojiao seemed to be his only pleasure, and making money for it was his reason for living.
He was like a sunflower that had withered in the darkness. The thought of making money for Jiaojiao was the only root buried in the soil that still provided him with vitality.
Li Yubai poked the baby fat on Jiaojiao's face that had not yet faded and said, "As long as he has this idea hanging on, he can always try to survive. As for persuading him to see a psychiatrist, there is no need."
Not all mental illnesses are suitable for seeing a psychologist, and in many cases the role a psychologist can play is not very helpful.
Those so-called mental illnesses that are cured are actually just the patients letting go of themselves and reaching a reconciliation with themselves.
Judging from Jiang Yi's current situation, even if he has a deep world-weariness complex, as long as Jiaojiao still exists in this world, he can barely survive.
Jiaojiao nodded to show that she understood, and then she stuck her head out and waved to Jiang Yi under the tree: "Brother Jiang Yi, I'm done, come and take a look."
Jiang Yi turned around and met Jiaojiao's eyes, which were shining with a delicate luster in the sunlight.
Since she was twelve years old, Jiaojiao stopped growing, literally.
In the first two years, I just thought he was growing slowly. Later, as time went on, I noticed something unusual and took him to the hospital for a check-up. The result showed that there was nothing wrong.
When the result came out, Shang Que and the others were trembling with fear. They were not afraid of finding abnormalities, as they would just treat them. But they were afraid that no abnormalities would be found, and then the disease would really exist again.
Over the years, not only has Jiaojiao stopped growing in height, but even her body weight has stopped changing. No matter what she eats or how much she eats, there is no increase or decrease in weight.
Li Yubai took Jiaojiao to all the hospitals in China. Shang Que and others used all their connections to find medical experts and bigwigs to see her and treat her. Jiaojiao suffered a lot during the treatment, but the final result was the same as the beginning.
Three years later, Jiaojiao still hadn't grown up, and there were many purple needle holes on his arms, thighs, and back.
In the end, Li Yubai decided to take Jiaojiao to visit the world. The world is so big, there are always other ways. Today is the day when Jiaojiao and her father say goodbye to them.
The time required to cure an illness is long and endless, and I don’t know when we will meet again after this separation.
Jiang Yi pushed the wheelchair forward and looked up at the painting that Jiaojiao handed out from the window.
In the painting, he is sitting under a tassel tree with his eyes downcast, snow-white petals floating in the air, two of which fall on his thick, dark eyelashes.
The sun shone on him, and a chubby snow-white puppy stood up on the ground and tried to climb onto his legs.
This is a very gentle painting. Even the wheelchair he sits in has become a rattan chair woven with wicker.
"How is it?" Jiaojiao asked expectantly.
"It's very beautiful." Jiang Yi reached out to take the painting, lowered his eyes to look at the puppy in the painting that was trying to climb onto his legs, pointed at it and said, "It would be even better if it was replaced with Jiaojiao when she was over two years old."
In that case, he would have bent down and picked him up immediately, and would not have been willing to just watch him coldly and unmoved.
Jiaojiao wondered, "Isn't the puppy cute?"
Jiang Yi said with great conviction, "Not as lovely as Jiaojiao."
To date, the season of Time and Space Zaizai that Jiaojiao participated in is still a popular variety show for many netizens to watch while eating. He himself has watched it no less than ten times.
Jiaojiao said helplessly: "Brother Jiang Yi, boys can't be called cute."
"Really?" Jiang Yi carefully put the painting aside and looked up at Jiaojiao, as if he was really confused: "Why haven't I heard this sentence before?"
Jiaojiao, who was used to being teased, found out that he was teasing her, so she pretended not to hear and talked to her father.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
As time went by, Shang Que, Lu Jie, Jun Xiangze, Jiang Xu and others arrived one after another.
Also coming together were Cao Yuhao, Lou Yaoyao, Shi Huairou, Mu Yicheng, Jun Che, and even Jun Zhengyu.
Now Cao Yuhao, Mu Yicheng, Jun Che and others are already big boys of 19 or 20 years old. The height of all three of them is over 1.85 meters. Lou Yaoyao is 1.68 meters tall, and Shi Huairou is 1.72 meters tall. Compared with them, Jiaojiao, who is 17 years old and in the same grade as them, looks like a boy who has just entered junior high school.
"Jiaojiao." Cao Yuhao gave Jiaojiao a bear hug as soon as he came in, and his handsome face kept rubbing against Jiaojiao's furry head.
Jiaojiao pushed his face away, but because she was too weak to resist, she could only let him rub against her with despair.
After a good meal, Cao Yuhao let go of her hand. When Jiaojiao looked up at him, she found that his eyes were a little red.
I was slightly startled for no reason.
When Cao Yuhao met his gaze, he said that his eyelashes were poking his eyes, and turned his head away awkwardly.
The atmosphere grew somewhat subdued, and Lou Yaoyao rushed over to give Jiaojiao a bear hug, her voice brimming with anticipation. "Have you prepared anything delicious for today? I've been a vegetarian for half a month to control my weight."
Dancers like them always strictly control their weight.
Jiaojiao, who was being hugged, came back to her senses, curved her eyes and said, "Yes, we have prepared everything you like to eat."
Mu Yicheng pulled Jiaojiao out of Lou Yaoyao's arms and stuffed her into his own: "Come here, it's my turn to hug you."
Jiaojiao, who was being hugged, had doubts in her eyes: "Didn't we just meet yesterday? Why do you act like we haven't seen each other for years?"
Shi Huairou smiled and ruffled Jiaojiao's hair: "It's been many years since we last met, so let's practice in advance."
Jun Che pulled Jiaojiao over, straightened his messy hair, and said, "Remember to contact us even when you go abroad. We'll fly over to see you when we're free."
Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay."
Seeing their actions, Jun Zhengyu also came forward, bent down and poked the baby fat on Jiaojiao's face, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Why are you still as obedient as when you were a child?"
Jiaojiao looked up at him and smiled: "Brother Zhengyu, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met." Jun Zhengyu's gaze fell on the needle hole on his arm, with a slight hint of heartache in his eyes. How could such a good child encounter such a bad thing?
This party was held in Jiaojiao's yard. Because there were so many people, the food was ordered from their favorite private restaurant. Only the dumplings were made by themselves.
In the past, they always wanted to have the New Year’s Eve dinner at Jiaojiao’s house, but they never made it for various reasons. When Cao Yuhao was a child, he almost had a second meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots because he insisted on coming.
Now that Jiaojiao is about to leave, they prepare dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner in advance while the April snow is falling all over the sky.
While making dumplings, Jun Zhengyu walked to the front and performed a magic trick he had just learned for everyone, making everyone laugh uncontrollably.
The evening breeze blew, and under the red clouds in the sky, April snow floated in the yard. The aroma of food mixed with the laughter of the crowd. It was a picture hidden in everyone's memory, and they would smile unconsciously when they mentioned it.
Jiaojiao was holding a half-wrapped dumpling in his hand, with a smile in his clear eyes, and the stars in the sky seemed to fall into his eyes.
Jiang Xu reached out and poked Jiaojiao's little chubby face, and his floury finger left a white dot on his face.
With Jiang Xu taking the lead, Jiaojiao's face was soon covered with small white spots, even the tip of his nose was not spared, making Jiaojiao cry and hide behind his father, but he didn't expect Li Yubai to be even more ruthless and directly smeared flour on half of his face.
Everyone looked at the stunned Jiaojiao and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After Jiaojiao came to her senses, she buried her face in her father's arm and rubbed it randomly. Not only did she rub the flour all over her face on Li Yubai's sleeve, but she also rubbed her black hair into frizz.
Everyone looked at this scene, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.
Jiaojiao, that is the one whom they all cherish in their hearts.
If God really loves him, why not love him even more, so that he can have a smooth and worry-free life and get what he wants!
Sorry, I admit my mistake. I wanted to finish writing about this world today, but my condition is not good. I will definitely write more tomorrow~
