Chapter 3 "Momo, I'm your brother" Li Mo stared at Jiang Yilan...
Unexpectedly, Li Xi slept well that night. Perhaps it was because this body was too tired after several tours. When he woke up, it was already dawn.
He can still open his eyes and is still in this ward. The ceiling had a small piece of paint missing from the corner, the curtains were not drawn tight, and on the bedside table there was the water that Wei Qiyao had poured for him last night. Nothing had changed.
Li Wei got up and went to the bathroom. He washed his face with cold water and looked at the person in the mirror.
This is truly an impeccable face. Jiang Yilan's eyebrows and eyes look like his mother's, and are extremely aggressively beautiful. Wei Qiyao's features became softer as she aged, but Li Xi could still tell how irresponsibly beautiful she was when she was young.
In fact, Li Xi and Jiang Yilan have the same type of looks, more androgynous, but Li Xi's looks are gentler than his, and not as sharp as his. Apart from some personal grudges, Jiang Yilan was unwilling to be on the same team with someone who was similar to him. He had always been so self-centered and didn't feel guilty about it.
When Wei Qiyao came out of the bathroom, she was already there. She took one look at Li Xi and knew that her son still didn't remember her as his mother.
"I bought breakfast, and we will be discharged from the hospital and go home after that." Without asking him whether he had recovered his memory, Wei Qiyao invited him to have breakfast. "I packed it from the hotel. Eat it while it's hot."
After dinner, Wei Qiyao asked her assistant to call a car to go to the airport. Li Xi took out her cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Rong Xiao, telling him that she and her mother would go back first.
Rong Xiao quickly replied to him: "Okay, we will fly later. Go home and have a good rest. Contact me if there is anything."
Li Xi had never been on a plane, especially a business class one. He felt uncomfortable enjoying things that did not belong to him at all.
Seeing that he was sitting awkwardly in his seat, Wei Qiyao helped him recline the seat to make him more comfortable. Li Xi then lay down, hoping to spend the flight by pretending to sleep. It took them about an hour and a half to fly back from the city where the concert ended. Li Xi closed her eyes and didn't realize how long it took them to arrive.
When they arrived at the place, another car came to pick them up. The driver seemed very familiar with Li Xi and called him Yilan. He could only smile and nod politely. Wei Qiyao introduced him as Brother Ming and said that you two used to have a good relationship.
When she got home, Wei Qiyao looked in a good mood at the dinner table. She was temporarily out of control yesterday because she was upset about her son's amnesia, but a day later she laughed at herself for being ungrateful. Isn't it her greatest luck that Jiang Yilan is sitting next to her now? Even if he cannot recover his memory in his lifetime, they still have many years to live together as mother and son, and countless memories to accumulate.
Li Xi lowered his head to eat. Aunt Jiang’s cooking was delicious. Especially when she heard that Li Xi was coming back, she made all his favorite dishes.
"Lanlan, try the mandarin fish. You have always liked the mandarin fish cooked by Aunt Fang."
Li Xi didn't like eating fish, but when he heard this he picked up a piece with his chopsticks.
I don’t know if it was because he had never eaten delicious fish before, or because he was using Jiang Yilan’s taste buds, but it was the first time he thought fish could be so delicious.
After dinner, Li Xi told Wei Qiyao that he was going out for a while. Wei Qiyao was naturally worried, and was also curious about why he didn't remember where he was going. Li Xi just insisted that he was going out for a trip and didn't need a driver to take him there, nor did he explain the purpose of his trip.
Wei Qiyao had no choice but to follow his wishes and stopped asking questions. Before leaving, Li Xi turned around and saw Wei Qiyao standing at the door. He paused and said, "I will be back soon."
He wants to find Li Mo.
He can't go out as carefree as before now. Li Xi wears a hat and a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed.
After he walked out of the door, he took out his cell phone and called Li Mo. He didn't dare to call last night because he was afraid to tell Li Mo that he was not dead. He was scared to death the next day, so he had no chance to call today.
No one answered the first call, so Li Xi called again without giving up. After it rang for a long time, Li Mo's hoarse and weak voice finally came from the other end: "Hello?"
"Momo!" Li Wei called out, and then quickly continued, "Momo, please listen to me first. No matter where you are now, don't interrupt me when I say something next. Just listen."
"Momo, I'm your brother, and I'm still alive. I went to see you yesterday afternoon, and we met downstairs of your dormitory. You were wearing the beige down jacket I bought for you, and we went to the sixth canteen of your school to eat the spicy hot pot you mentioned several times. The boss recognized you and said that we are indeed brother and sister, and we look so alike. After eating, we went shopping in the commercial street behind, and you bought a pair of snowflake-shaped earrings. Then I went back, and not long after that you sent me a WeChat message saying that it was snowing."
"Momo, I'm your brother."
Li Xi stopped talking. The breathing on the other end became more and more rapid, and then there was an obvious cry. She was confused and surprised with disbelief: "Brother...?"
"Yes... it's me." Li Xi also choked up a little, "Let's talk about it when we meet, okay? Where are you?"
Less than a day later, Li Mo looked much more haggard. His eyes were swollen and his face looked as bad as if he had been up all night for several nights.
Li Mo looked at the strange man wearing a hat and a mask. He ran over and wanted to hug her, but stopped in time as if he suddenly remembered something and called her "Momo".
It was the same voice that I heard on the phone, and the same tone of voice that my brother used when he called me.
Li Mo looked up at him, and Li Xi took off his mask on his own initiative, revealing Jiang Yilan's face.
"I don't know why this happened..." Li Xi said to Li Mo who was completely stunned.
"Last night... before the police contacted me, I saw the news online about the accident at Jiang Yilan's concert..." After a long time, Li Mo spoke slowly.
"Yes... After I woke up, they told me that the lift was malfunctioning and 'I' fell from a height."
Li Mo stared at Jiang Yilan's face and was speechless for a long time.
She first reached out and touched Li Xi's arm, then moved her hand up to his shoulder, as if to confirm whether this person was really standing in front of her.
All this was so absurd that it seemed like something out of a science fiction movie, but the tone and demeanor of the man in front of her was exactly the same as her brother's.
Li Mo's eyes were already painful from the tears, but she couldn't control her tears from pouring out.
"Brother..." She cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. From the time she received the news of her brother's death until now, she didn't know how she had managed to get through this short day.
Li Wei is her only relative. They grew up together and are the most important people to each other.
Li Xi hugged her, patted her back gently, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
After calming down, Li Mo looked at him worriedly again, "Well, what should we do now? They...will your concert still go on? Are you going to go?"
"The concert is over." Li Wei combed her hair. "I just returned to the Jiang family today and I have to go back later. I can only tell them that I don't remember anything. I'll see what happens next."
The weather was cold, so they went to a coffee shop, ordered two hot drinks, and sat down in a seat in the corner.
It was not convenient to say too much in the store. The two of them sat quietly. Li Mo still couldn't believe it and stared at the person in front of her in a daze.
She took out her phone and searched for To5's message.
She didn't pay much attention to To5, and Li Xi didn't tell her about her replacement. Letting her sister know would only add to her worries. She just said that she didn't get selected because her grades were not good enough and she still needed to work harder.
Li Mo followed all the related accounts of To5 and added Jiang Yilan as a special follower.
When she saw Jiang Yilan’s Weibo, she seemed to realize something.
"So he... is gone?"
Li Xi shook her head, her index finger resting on the edge of the coffee cup, "I don't know."
As it was getting dark, Wei Qiyao sent a WeChat message to Li Xi, asking him if he would come back for dinner.
"Momo, I'll take you back to school." Li Wei said, "I should go back now."
There were more people outside during dinner time, and passers-by had already glanced at him several times. Li Xi pushed his hat down a little more and walked out with his head down.
Li Mo hugged him again.
"Send me WeChat often, brother." Li Mo said, buried in his arms. She would be afraid, afraid that one day she would not be able to contact Li Wei again, afraid that this was all a dream.
"Okay." Li Wei patted her back.
When he got home, Wei Qiyao greeted him at the door. As soon as she saw him, she smiled and said, "You're back."
Li Xi also smiled, "Yeah."
The dinner was still sumptuous, and Wei Qiyao was still finding topics to chat with him. Li Xi tried his best to respond a few more times, and Wei Qiyao was already very happy.
Jiang Yilan's bedroom was very clean, even though he was busy on tour and hadn't been back to live there for quite a while. The room is very big. There is a very large painting hanging on the wall opposite the bed. It is a stage photo of Jiang Yilan himself. There is a signature in the corner. It should be a fan photo sent by a fan.
The photo was taken from an upward angle. Jiang Yilan's face was slightly tilted, with a few strands of bangs and hair sticking to his face due to sweat. There was a smile at the corner of his lips and his eyes were bright and sparkling. He stood on the stage, his tailor-made clothes highlighting his figure, his posture was straight and relaxed, and he exuded confidence.
Li Wei watched quietly for a while.
"Jiang Yilan..." Li Wei silently recited his name and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Even if it was not Jiang Yilan's subjective will, the fact had already happened and Li Wei owed him a life.
"If you can't come back, I will take good care of your parents. Don't worry." He said while looking at the photo.
He still had a lot to do tonight. Just now while eating, Rong Xiao came to him and told him that he had to prepare for a live broadcast in the next two days.
"We have always had the habit of live streaming during our breaks to keep interacting with fans. Yilan, you can be the first one, so you can show your face and reassure your fans. It doesn't matter if the live streaming is short, and you don't have to say too much to avoid being exposed, as long as your fans can see that everything is fine with you."
"You don't have to answer questions in the comments that you don't know. Yilan didn't answer comments in the comments during live broadcasts before... Have you still not remembered anything?"
"Um... no."
"It's okay. Look for your old live broadcasts and see if you can remember anything."
Li Xi agreed. He planned to watch Jiang Yilan’s previous live broadcasts tonight, so that he could at least know his style.
After watching just one, Li Xi understood why Rong Xiao was willing to let him be the first to do the live broadcast even though his memory had not yet been recovered.
Jiang Yilan didn't just not answer the questions in the comments, he was too lazy to even speak, as if "I do this live broadcast just for you to admire my face."
Li Xi was really amused.
