Chapter 34 Chapter 34 "Can we kiss?"...
Jiang Mian seemed to be very concerned about the scar on Qiao Yu's eyelid. He would always touch it deliberately before falling into deep thought.
Qiao Yu didn't really want Jiang Mian to know the real origin of the scar. Firstly, she didn't want to aggravate the conflict between him and Jiang Jinhua, and secondly, she thought that the bad past should be left in the past.
At night, Jiang Mian took some painkillers and went to bed.
Qiao Yu lay on the accompanying bed in the rest area in a proper manner, but not long after, he quietly got down and sat beside the bed, looking at Jiang Mian.
The past two days were like a dream. Qin Yulu told him a lot of things he didn't know, and then he ran to Beijing without stopping.
Last night I was worried about whether Jiang Mian would wake up, and my mind was blank.
I was worried about Jiang Mian losing his memory during the day today, and my mind is still blank.
Only now was he able to step out of his own perspective, fill in everything Qin Yulu and Luo Hao knew, and roughly describe the five years that Jiang Mian had been missing in his life.
Qiao Yu always thought that Jiang Mian returned to the Jiang family to live the life of a young master, but they lived the same life during those five years.
One has little money, the other has only money left.
He had never lost his memory, so he didn't know what it felt like to forget everything in a foreign country.
He must have been afraid. Jiang Mian was only eighteen years old at that time and knew nothing. He was even more afraid than he is now.
Things kept coming at him one after another like a train, and it seemed like just yesterday that he had been arguing with Jiang Mian until his face turned red and his neck became thick.
At that time, Jiang Mian was a real bastard, and Qiao Yu really hated him, and they clearly couldn't let go, but every word they said was carefully chosen to hurt each other's hearts.
When Qiao Yu thought about it now, he just found it funny, but he felt sad as he laughed.
The five years since he and Jiang Mian separated have finally passed. Although they still love each other, they are different after all.
He kept looking at Jiang Mian, seeing his slightly furrowed brows, and had no idea what he was dreaming about.
Eighteen-year-old Jiang Mian would not be so obedient when sleeping, he always likes to hold something.
When Qiao Yu was around, I hugged Qiao Yu. When Qiao Yu was not around, I hugged Qiao Yu's pillow.
He also liked to squeeze into people's lives, and would stick close to them while sleeping. Qiao Yu got annoyed by his sticking to him, so he moved away a little. Soon Jiang Mian came close again, so he moved away a little more, and in this way he finally moved to the edge of the bed.
Qiao Yu always felt complicated when thinking about the past. Although he didn't think Jiang Mian was so bad at that time, he would appear inferior once there was a comparison.
The knowledge and skills that he had learned, the politeness and upbringing that had been subtly influenced, the ambition and courage that had gradually broadened his horizons, and the determination and decisiveness that had been acquired through immersion in the business world, these were not something that the eighteen-year-old Jiang Mian could achieve.
Qiao Yu couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Mian's choice was correct or not.
Although the answer to this question is meaningless at the moment.
He thought of Jiang Mian's three shots, a gamble of his life.
This was not the life they wanted to live, at least not the life he and eighteen-year-old Jiang Mian wanted to live.
It might be better for both of them if they separated.
However, Qiao Yu only thought of the idea of "running away while Jiang Mian has lost his memory" when Qin Yulu said it.
I didn't think about it carefully, and even just passed it through my mind without considering the feasibility.
How could I leave him here alone? Qiao Yu thought.
He should be scared.
-
In the morning, Qiao Yu received a video call from Aunt Sun.
Grandma was clamoring to see him and had already made a big fuss at home.
Qiao Yu jumped off the bed and went to the balcony. He closed the glass door before starting to coax people.
Grandma is not a noisy old lady. After being coaxed a few words, she stopped making noise and just kept calling "Xiao Yu" and "Xiao Yu" while holding the phone.
Every time she shouted, Qiao Yu's heart felt more sour. He felt so sad that he squatted in the corner of the terrace, curled up there like a little mushroom, and kept saying "Ah" and "Ah" endlessly.
Finally, Aunt Sun couldn't stand it anymore, took the phone and asked Qiao Yu when he would be back.
It has been three or four days since Qiao Yu came to Beijing. He hasn't been away for so long since his grandma fell ill.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said in two days.
He didn't want to leave Jiang Mian here alone, he was afraid that Jiang Mian would be scared.
After hanging up the video, Qiao Yu stood up, took two deep breaths, sorted himself out and returned to the ward.
Jiang Mian didn't know when he woke up and was washing up under the care of a nurse.
His upper body can now move, and the fracture in his right leg has not healed yet, but it doesn't affect him if he uses a wheelchair.
Qiao Yu couldn't help and could only stand at the end of the bed and watch.
Jiang Mian raised his arm towards him, and Qiao Yu went over and held his hand.
Jiang Mian's voice was still very light: "Who was waiting outside with you yesterday?"
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "It should be... an employee who is like a friend to you."
Jiang Mian said "hmm" thoughtfully: "Can you contact him?"
Qiao Yu nodded: "I'll call him and ask him to come over."
"Okay," Jiang Mian touched his fingers and asked, "Are you cold?"
There were also caregivers present, and they were very close.
Jiang Mian’s question made it very clear. Qiao Yu stuttered and said that he was not cold.
Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Get a cup of soy milk to warm it up."
Half an hour later, Luo Hao arrived at the ward.
Compared with the previous time when he came empty-handed, this time he came with a briefcase in his hand.
When two smart people get together they are like the North and South Poles. There is no need to explain too clearly. Just a little hint and their brain waves can match.
In the morning, Luo Hao gave Jiang Mian a rough inventory of all the companies and assets under his name.
They didn't avoid Qiao Yu, but it made no difference whether they avoided him or not.
Qiao Yu, a pure engineering student, could only understand the literal meaning. He had never studied those things and had no intention of knowing them.
At noon, Luo Hao was eating a fruit plate on the sofa, while Jiang Mian was alone in front of the computer with a frown on his face.
Qiao Yu didn't dare to disturb him, so he sat next to Luo Hao and asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay," Luo Hao thrust a cherry tomato into Qiao Yu's hand, "You must be annoyed to find that there's a mess behind you."
Qiao Yu didn't understand this: "Why is it all a mess?"
"Can I give you good things?" Luo Hao smiled, "The world of rich people also has many troubles."
When it was time for lunch, the nurse brought lunch.
Jiang Mian temporarily closed the computer, leaned on the propped-up bed, closed his eyes and pinched his Jingmingxue.
Qiao Yu and Luo Hao ate at the small table, and Jiang Mian had his own hospital meal.
Maybe it was because it was a hospital, the food here was relatively light. In Qiao Yu's impression, Jiang Mian was a person who loved oily, salty food and spicy food.
He craned his neck to look over at the bed. Jiang Mian wasn't a picky eater and would eat a little of anything.
"Do you want to feed him?" Luo Hao couldn't help but say.
Qiao Yu shrank his neck and picked up the bowl to cover half of his face.
"I asked you to come but you didn't. Why did you come when Qin Yulu called you?"
The reason cannot be explained in just a few words. Besides, didn’t he come when Luo Hao called him?
"What do you mean to Jiang Shao?" Luo Hao gritted his teeth, looking like he could bite Qiao Yu at any moment. "I have watched him grow up, and he actually believed in you before me?"
Qiao Yu originally wanted to say, "How long have you been here?" But then he thought again, he and Jiang Mian had only been together for one or two years longer than Luo Hao.
How many five-year periods can a person have in his life?
After dinner, Jiang Mian wanted to rest for a while.
Luo Hao went to the next room to find a bed to sleep on, while Qiao Yu sat on the accompanying bed in a daze.
In fact, he didn't know how to answer what Luo Hao asked him just now.
What does it mean to Jiang Mian?
First of all, I definitely like it.
But liking something is the most illusory thing, and you can’t do much with it.
He will be going back to Huaicheng in two days. His grandmother has to take care of him, and his school affairs cannot be delayed.
He is now the boss and can accompany Jiang Mian in Beijing City because Aunt Sun and Zhou Shuhe are carrying his burden. He can't let others carry it all the time.
Back to Huaicheng, then what?
Jiang Mian also has a lot of things to deal with, so it's impossible for him to go back with me.
Does the one-year deadline given previously still count? Although she didn't know what the other party would do in this year, Qiao Yu still looked forward to what Jiang Mian had said: "Return to Huaicheng, reunite with grandma, and stay together as a family forever."
But now...
But Qiao Yu didn't dare to ask.
"Qiao Yu." Jiang Mian called him.
Qiao Yu immediately got out of bed: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mian lifted the quilt: "Help me go to the toilet."
His left leg is not very flexible yet, and he cannot use too much strength with his arms. He cannot use a single crutch, so for now he can only walk with the support of someone.
Qiao Yu was a little shorter than him, and by bending slightly she could just fit under Jiang Mian's armpits.
Jiang Mian held the bedside with his other hand and skipped to the bathroom.
When he unbuckled his belt, Qiao Yu subconsciously turned her face away. The person involved was not embarrassed yet, but the bystanders were embarrassed.
Jiang Mian thought it was cute and wanted to tease him: "How far have we come?"
Qiao Yu ignored him, but her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Mian said "Oh~" meaningfully: "It seems that we——"
"Shh," Qiao Yu couldn't help but interrupt him, "Why are you talking so much?"
Jiang Mian's chest vibrated and he let out a muffled laugh.
When he returned to bed again, Jiang Mian had been sleeping for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. He propped himself up and asked the doctor for a painkiller. After swallowing it, his brows were furrowed.
Qiao Yu couldn't sleep anymore and sat beside the bed, worried that Jiang Mian would be in pain again and wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Jiang Mian squinted at him for a few seconds, then moved closer to the bed, leaving some space for him: "Come up."
Qiao Yu opened his eyes wide: "Ah?"
Although the hospital bed was about 1.5 meters long and could easily accommodate two people, Jiang Mian had just recovered from a serious illness, so he was a little afraid to squeeze in with him.
"Sleep on your right side," Jiang Mian lifted the quilt, "My right leg is fine, don't worry about it getting bumped."
"No, no," Qiao Yu quickly covered him with the quilt again, "I can't sleep well."
"Stay with me for a while," Jiang Mian held his hand and pulled it towards him, looking pitiful, "I have a headache."
Qiao Yu's heart softened.
Although this request was a bit abrupt, it was really hard to refuse.
Qiao Yu stood there awkwardly for a long time, but finally changed into pajamas and got on the hospital bed.
"Will it be abrupt?" Jiang Mian asked.
Qiao Yu covered herself with the quilt and whispered, "Could it be that you didn't ask everything?"
You act first and report later. It's embarrassing to ask now.
Jiang Mian just smiled and held Qiao Yu's hand tightly under the quilt.
Qiao Yu kept his eyes open and didn't let himself fall asleep.
It was okay when he slept alone, but he was really dishonest when he slept with Jiang Mian before because he was afraid of making a fool of himself.
But Jiang Mian slept well. Qiao Yu saw that his brows were no longer frowned, but relaxed, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
In the afternoon, I repeated the work of the morning.
Not only that, Luo Hao called a lot of people, and each of them spoke for half an hour as if they were giving a report.
This reminded Qiao Yu of the summary meeting held by their research group. He was already in agony after just two hours of the meeting. After two hours, he was basically in a trance state. He seemed to be still there, but in fact he had been gone for quite some time.
Jiang Mian's meeting lasted at least five or six hours. He still had an IV in his hand and his face was very pale.
The nurse would come in from time to time to change his IV bottle. Except for Qiao Yu who would stand up and take a look, no one paid attention to this little episode.
Jiang Mian's conversation didn't end until the nurse reminded him that it was time for dinner.
Qiao Yu helped him to go to the toilet, and Jiang Mian grinned and said, "I'm dying of suffocation."
Only then did Qiao Yu feel that this person looked like Jiang Mian whom he knew.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Luo Hao finished his meal and left.
Qiao Yu had a video call with her grandmother for a while. Jiang Mian left the country, which made Aunt Sun very distressed. She asked him to come to Huaicheng to make him some bone soup.
Although Jiang Mian couldn't remember the other person, he could feel the most sincere concern and just smiled and said yes.
Later, when it was time to go to bed, Jiang Mian still left half of the bed for Qiao Yu: "Come up."
Qiao Yu lay beside him and said leisurely, "I look like a maid who accompanies the bed."
There is nothing to do normally, and I can't understand anything the young masters say.
He climbed into bed only when it was dark and time to go to bed, as if it was time for him to go to work.
Jiang Mian let out a long “hmm…” and said, “Then you are a little incompetent.”
Qiao Yu didn't understand what it meant at first, but soon his little brain figured it out.
"You--" He simply didn't know what to say.
"Me?" Jiang Mian smiled happily, "You said it yourself."
Qiao Yu lay down angrily, closing her eyes and not looking at him: "Why are you talking so annoyingly now?"
"Wasn't my words annoying before?" Jiang Mian flicked his eyelashes with his index finger. "Wasn't I impolite before?"
Qiao Yu patted his hand gently: "It was annoying before, and it's still annoying now."
Jiang Mian became interested, and looked at Qiao Yu while lying on his side: "How did I bother you before?"
Jiang Mian has so many annoying things that Qiao Yu couldn't finish talking about them even if she talked for three days and three nights.
"You stole my homework and sold it, and put candies in my water cup. You bought me pink gloves, but I didn't want to wear them anymore and sold them to someone else. You were mad at me for three days."
"That's going to make me angry," Jiang Mian said righteously, "What's wrong with pink? You'll look better in pink."
Qiao Yu: “…”
It turns out that this person is the same whether he loses his memory or not.
"You also tore up the love letter the little girl gave me, and it happened to be seen by the little girl."
"Did you hit me?"
"Beat her, otherwise the girl will keep crying."
"You don't want to hit me, do you?"
"I'm willing to give it up. I punched you again after she left."
Jiang Mian hugged Qiao Yu, buried his face in his neck and chuckled.
Tired of laughing, he touched Qiao Yu's hair and said, "Can we kiss?"
Qiao Yu paused, turned her face around, leaned her forehead against Jiang Mian, and said "hmm" softly with her eyelashes drooping.
Jiang Mian turned off the lights and they kissed tenderly.
Start by touching your lips and slowly lick open the lip gap.
Qiao Yu opened his mouth obediently, his teeth were still shaking a little. Jiang Mian laughed and gently bit the tip of his tongue.
After about five or six minutes, when Qiao Yu was released, he found that he was tightly clutching Jiang Mian's clothes, and his breathing was a little disordered.
He opened his eyes and met Jiang Mian's. There was a faint light in the dark pupils. He looked in and saw his own reflection.
"When was the last time you kissed?" Jiang Mian asked in a hoarse voice.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "You forced me that time."
Jiang Mian said rudely: "Do you like being forced?"
Qiao Yu covered his mouth: "I don't like it!"
Jiang Mian was tired after a long day and fell asleep quickly.
After his breathing became steady, Qiao Yu tiptoed down from the bed.
Although I was reluctant, I still went back to the accompanying bed and went to sleep.
The next day, Qiao Yu got up on time.
Jiang Mian was still sleeping. It was not the time for him to wake up.
At seven o'clock, Luo Hao arrived on time as if he was punching in for work. Qiao Yu wanted Jiang Mian to sleep a little longer, so she asked him to wait.
After a while, Qin Yulu also came and Qiao Yu was stopped.
Qin Yulu's homophobia reached its peak and he turned and left.
"You act like the queen." Luo Hao said in a low voice while sitting on the sofa.
Qiao Yu coughed twice and lowered his head to peel his apple: "Hmm? Can't I put it on display?"
Luo Hao said, "Eh!" "You weren't like this at the beginning. You wouldn't come no matter what I said."
"There was a misunderstanding at that time," Qiao Yu admitted his mistake obediently, "but I came when you called me."
Luo Hao opened his eyes wide: "When—"
The conversation was interrupted by the sound of the door.
They both raised their heads.
The door of the ward opened, and a man in a neat suit walked in and closed the door.
Then, another person who was a little older came in.
Luo Hao stood up instantly: "Boss Jiang."
Qiao Yu subconsciously straightened his back and looked over, and it was indeed Jiang Jinhua.
He stood up, but didn't shout.
He stood up because Jiang Jinhua was Jiang Mian's elder, and he didn't shout because he simply didn't want to.
Jiang Jinhua said "hmm" to Luo Hao's greeting. He glanced at Qiao Yu and perhaps remembered something. He was a little unhappy: "Why are you letting everyone in?"
These words were spoken to the nurse behind him, but they were actually slapping Qiao Yu in the face.
Qiao Yu's body stiffened, but he was not too shocked. He simply sat back on the sofa and continued peeling his apple.
"Where is Miss Qin?" Jiang Jinhua asked again.
"Just left," Luo Hao said, "About a few minutes ago."
Jiang Jinhua sneered: "Those who should leave don't leave, but those who shouldn't leave do."
Qiao Yu pretended not to hear.
He prepared himself mentally so as not to get angry unnecessarily.
Anyway, it’s not the first or second time that I’ve been ridiculed. I was holding a knife at the time, so it’s no big deal.
However, the next second, a slightly hoarse voice of "Third Uncle" came from the ward.
"Is this your attitude towards my friend?"
Luo Hao became visibly nervous, and Qiao Yu also stopped what he was doing.
"Heh," Jiang Jinhua walked to the bedside, "Third Uncle just wanted to remind you not to make friends with the wrong people."
"Oh," Jiang Mian smiled, "It seems that the people around me will have to pass your uncle's approval in the future."
He spoke slowly and calmly, with a gentle smile and a calm demeanor.
"From now on, the Jiang family will be handed over to you, okay?"
