Chapter 35 Chapter 35 He ran towards him. …
Jiang Jinhua came here because he heard that Jiang Mian had lost his memory and wanted to find out the truth.
As a result, the other party lost his memory and became lonely. The first time he saw him, the first thing he said was "Third Uncle".
Jiang Jinhua knew he was late when he arrived after Qiao Yu.
Those three shots didn't kill Jiang Mian, but they gave him a promising future.
The car accident did not kill Jiang Mian, but it exposed his sharp edge.
Jiang Mian's words were full of sarcasm, which sounded harsh.
In the past, Jiang Junyao was the pressure on Jiang Mian, so he couldn't even sit at the Jiang family table. He had to be cautious in everything he said and did.
Now, Jiang Mian went crazy and overturned the table to start a new game.
After all, he is his biological son, and the old man really spoils him.
Jiang Jinhua was caught off guard and had no real chance of winning.
In the past, if Jiang Mian had said "hand over the Jiang family to Jiang Jinhua", it would have been a joke.
But today, Jiang Jinhua has to think carefully about whether Jiang Mian can afford it and whether he can accept it.
Jiang Jinhua paused for a long time before saying, "You remember a lot."
Jiang Mian nodded slightly: "Uncle San didn't expect that?"
"I didn't expect it," Jiang Jinhua said, "It's more troublesome than before."
"Then I have made progress," Jiang Mian continued, "I should be thankful for this accident."
The topic became increasingly sensitive, and even Qiao Yu could feel the low pressure between the two sides.
He and Luo Hao exchanged glances. Luo Hao raised his hand and made a zipper-like motion on his mouth. Qiao Yu understood what he meant. When gods fight, little ghosts give way.
"This has nothing to do with me," Jiang Jinhua shrugged, "You can go check on Lao Er."
Jiang Mian chuckled and said, "With what Third Uncle said, do I still need to check?"
Jiang Jinhua raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did I say anything?"
Jiang Mian tapped his temples and said lazily, "I've remembered Uncle San's reminder."
This kind of charades-like communication was too torturous. Jiang Jinhua had no doubt that this madman would pull out a gun from his quilt and shoot him if he got impatient, so in the end he just said "Your father asked me to come and see you. I will report to my superiors if you are okay" and left.
As the door of the ward closed, Luo Hao let out a long sigh of relief: "Oh my God, this is the first time I see President Jiang get humiliated."
Qiao Yu handed the bunny apple she had peeled to Jiang Mian: "Do you want to get up?"
Jiang Mian changed his fierce attitude just now, closed his eyes and leaned back on the bed: "I feel dizzy..."
Qiao Yu raised the corner of his lips and thought it was quite cute.
He reached out to touch Jiang Mian's face, and Jiang Mian grabbed his hand and kissed him on the lips.
Qin Yulu didn't leave. He went to the Chinese medicine doctor next door to get a few injections and came back.
"Jiang Jinhua is here?" She asked Luo Hao curiously, "How was it? Did they fight?"
"It was almost like that," Luo Hao told her the general idea in a rush. "Luckily you weren't there, or else Young Marshal Jiang would have screamed."
"He protected his wife, not me. What's there to scream about?" Qin Yulu waved his hands. "Besides, I won't scream for a gay man."
The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted incessantly. Qin Yulu was tied there and her family was watching her, so she couldn't leave.
After all, the marriage between the two families has not yet broken down. Although it has been shattered in private, it still has to be maintained on the surface.
A few meters away from the bed, Qiao Yu picked up an apple and ate it himself.
Perhaps it was the side effect of seeing Jiang Jinhua. Jiang Mian lay down for a long time after the other party left and was still not fully recovered.
His laptop was still on the small table above the bed, and it was beeping with notifications of new messages.
"Someone is looking for you." Qiao Yu kindly reminded.
Jiang Mian opened his eyes, but his brows were furrowed, and he showed no intention of getting up.
"Who?" he asked.
Qiao Yu blinked and looked at the two people who were whispering and gossiping in the ward. It was very likely that Jiang Mian could not invite them at this moment.
So recently he temporarily took over the position of the overbearing president's personal secretary, put down the Apple in his hand, turned the computer a little, clicked on the wildly jumping avatar, and reported the other party's note name.
Jiang Mian said "hmm" and closed his eyes again without giving any further instructions.
Qiao Yu looked at the long string of information sent by the other party, summarized it briefly, and then reported it to Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian listened motionlessly and told him the solution. Qiao Yu turned the computer over completely, typed it on the keyboard and sent it out.
"There are still many unread messages," Qiao Yu casually flipped through Jiang Mian's dialog box, "and emails."
"Well," Jiang Mian was completely lazy, "Help me take a look."
"Me?" Qiao Yu was a little hesitant, "Can I see it?"
"It doesn't matter," Jiang Mian chuckled, "You don't understand it either."
The despised Qiao Yu opened his email like an emotionless reading machine. He would stop when Jiang Mian asked him to and continue when he asked him to. He would reply occasionally, like a eunuch delivering imperial decrees. He worked on and off like this for more than two hours, and actually managed to finish most of the piled up work.
Jiang Mian couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep. Qiao Yu didn't have the heart to disturb him, so he listed the remaining undealt with matters in a memo.
After finishing all the tasks, he opened his email to see if there was anything he had missed.
However, when I scrolled down, I unexpectedly saw a folder named "1" in the left navigation bar. When I clicked it, I saw nearly a hundred unread emails neatly arranged in it with the same eight-digit subject.
The sender is Jiang Mian himself, and judging from the time the email was received, the numbers in the subject are roughly in the order of year-month-day.
The dates spanned nearly five years, with the earliest one being the same year they separated.
Qiao Yu vaguely realized the usefulness of these emails, and his slightly trembling fingertips slid across the touchpad, stopping on the earliest one.
He didn't click it immediately. He hesitated and glanced at Jiang Mian who was still sleeping.
Intellectually, Qiao Yu thought that he shouldn't watch it, but he also knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to get Jiang Mian's consent.
After a two-second pause, he opened the email.
2015-
I lost five notebooks and the doctor suggested that I email myself. I couldn’t remember anything and there was nothing to record.
I can't understand a word of the birds' language. I shouldn't be here.
…
2016-
I had doubts about my name and background, and felt like everyone was lying to me.
I failed all the exams, as expected, and the school expelled me directly, but I don’t know why this problem was solved.
I wanted to return to my country, but was rejected.
I always dream about someone, it’s very vague, just a shadow, I don’t know who it is, but it feels very important.
I found a lot of shell companies registered in my name. Although it is a reasonable way to avoid taxes, there is no reason to use all of them.
The Jiang family is monitoring me.
…
2017-
I met Leah and she taught me a lot.
The biggest advice I’ve been given so far is for me to pass the IELTS as soon as possible.
Finance is not that difficult and you can catch up slowly.
I still think of shadows.
I barely passed the exams and can return to China as the Jiang family wishes, hoping to find him.
…
2018-
Nothing was found. Leah said maybe it was just my imagination. Maybe.
I dreamed of the shadow again, and there was something else I didn’t remember, but what was it? Let me remember it quickly.
…
2019-
It hurts, I shouldn't be here.
I have something unfinished, what is it? What did I forget?
After graduation, I can finally return to my country.
Aren’t you in Beijing? I've been looking here for a long time.
…
2020-
I found some strange information. I went to high school in a place called Huaicheng, so I should go try my luck there.
The "shadow" was found, it was a man named Qiao Yu. It's really strange. He's a man. I felt so weird when I saw him for the first time. Do I actually like men?
…
The last email was a time-lapse of their reunion.
It was their meeting five years later, at the door of the bar.
It turns out that Jiang Mian really didn’t remember.
Qiao Yu closed all web pages and turned off the computer.
My heart was still pounding, but my mind was unusually clear.
Whenever Jiang Mian was working, he would open his emails and find that they contained letters about his past, which were the most precious things he might lose again.
Qiao Yu didn't intend to hide it from Jiang Mian. She told him about it when he woke up.
Jiang Mian also read the emails from beginning to end with a calm expression.
Their eyes met, and in the moment of staring at each other, Qiao Yu's lips trembled, and he lowered his eyes first and exhaled.
Jiang Mian placed his hand on the back of his hand and patted it gently in a soothing manner.
"I heard from the doctor earlier that I had a second head injury. So this is what happened."
The incident that almost cost him his life was spoken so lightly.
Qiao Yu felt a pain in his heart and his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
Although he had long known that Jiang Mian was not willing to choose what happened in the past, when he got close to the truth, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Are you going home in a few days?" Jiang Mian asked.
Qiao Yu nodded gently: "Grandma can't leave me, and there are things at school."
"Okay." Jiang Mian closed the computer.
They were clearly about to separate, and Qiao Yu felt a little sad, but Jiang Mian, on the other hand, showed no expression.
"A Mian," Qiao Yu hesitated, "You..."
——Would you like to go back with me?
He pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.
Will the eldest young master, who has the final say in the Jiang family, go back with me?
Go back to that small, shabby place like Huaicheng and live in that shabby house.
He didn't dare to think about it when Jiang Mian knew nothing. Now that Jiang Mian knows everything, he certainly doesn't dare to think about it.
Qiao Yu hung his head, feeling a little lost.
He returned to Huaicheng and Jiang Mian stayed in Jingshi. Can they still be together in the future?
"Me?" Jiang Mian lifted his chin with his finger and continued, "Will you take me home?"
Qiao Yu blinked, and her eyelashes fluttered like a small fan.
He looked at Jiang Mian and asked cautiously, "Will you come home with me?"
"Follow," Jiang Mian curved his eyes, "People always have to go home."
People always have to go home.
His home is not in Beijing, but in Huaicheng.
Qiao Yu clenched his back teeth, but his eyes still turned red.
He leaned over and hugged Jiang Mian, tilting his head and resting his face on the other's shoulder.
"It's crowded here, you might as well go back," Jiang Mian raised his hand and touched his back, "I'll come find you after I finish what I'm doing."
-
It was already dark when Qiao Yu got home.
He was reluctant to leave in the morning and kept putting it off until the afternoon.
Aunt Sun left some food for him, and after Qiao Yu filled his stomach, he went to take a bath.
When I came out again, several messages popped up on my phone, sent by Jiang Mian.
【Jiang Mian: Have you arrived home? 】
[Jiang Mian: Have you eaten? 】
[Jiang Mian: What are you doing?] 】
Forgot to reply!
Qiao Yu quickly edited the message and sent it over.
The other side replied immediately: Just forget me like this [clown]
Qiao Yu sat on the bed: You have no right to say that, right?
Even if a person's personality changes, some small habits cannot be changed.
Jiang Mian is still the same, he likes to add a small emoticon after the message.
Looking at a tall and strong man, he has a lot of little expressions and he doesn't even feel embarrassed when he rolls around in cute ways.
The two of them chatted nonsense back and forth. Qiao Yu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Jiang Mian to go to bed early.
[Jiang Mian: The maid who accompanied me to the bed is gone [sad]]
【Qiao Yu: ……】
[Qiao Yu: Do you have a headache? 】
【Jiang Mian: Pain [sadness]】
【Qiao Yu: Seriously.】 】
【Jiang Mian: Not bad.】 】
[Qiao Yu: Why are you acting so coquettish?] 】
He said he was going to sleep, but he was still sending messages.
They had never been apart before they separated, so naturally they wouldn't send messages to each other one by one.
At this moment, Jiang Mian made Qiao Yu feel alive and down-to-earth, as if he had returned to his daily life from those things that were beyond his ability to accept before, and he was someone he could reach out and touch.
That's it.
-
During the days that Qiao Yu was away, a lot of work had piled up at school.
Zhou Shuhe was like a dried corpse with all its vitality drained away. After seeing Qiao Yu, he turned into a zombie waving its arms.
"Yu ah~ Yu ah~ you're finally back! There's going to be a team meeting this afternoon, help!!!"
Qiao Yu caught him and said sorry with a smile.
Zhou Shuhe cried and talked about his miserable experiences in the past few days, in return Qiao Yu treated him to a sumptuous barbecue.
After arranging things for his brothers, Qiao Yu dismantled the computer that had been kept in the dormitory. It was the computer Jiang Mian had sent to him before, but he didn't want it. But now he can have it.
Zhou Shuhe felt strange and asked with a smile: "What? Have you reconciled with your first love?"
Qiao Yu didn't know whether this could be considered a reconciliation between him and Jiang Mian. There were too many issues between them, and it would be impossible to deal with them one by one.
And it just so happens that when things become too much, it is better to just let them go and not deal with them, which can actually bring a moment of warmth.
Qiao Yu didn’t know how long this would last, but those natural and man-made disasters really scared him.
It is not easy for people to live a good life. No matter how much they plan, they will only miss it again.
He also didn't want to leave Jiang Mian alone.
-
During working hours, Qiao Yu and Jiang Mian were busy with their own things and didn't talk much.
But when it's time for dinner, they will hold their phones and chat about this and that.
Qiao Yu thought about this kind of relationship when she was eighteen years old. She felt that after taking the college entrance examination, she would be like this with Jiang Mian.
Long-distance relationships should all be like this, just like raising a electronic pet, playing with it from time to time, and laughing like a fool while holding the phone.
However, this mode is prone to accidents. After all, Jiang Mian and I have always been stuck together, and we might not be able to bear it if we were suddenly separated.
Qiao Yu was secretly worried.
However, Qiao Yu has been separated from Jiang Mian for so long that she has long been accustomed to living alone.
He attends classes alone, eats alone, stays in the library alone, and does experiments alone. His academic workload is very heavy now, and he often stays in the laboratory until very late, and then goes home alone under the moonlight.
The late autumn wind brought a chill, and the shadows on the ground followed him, as if a light layer of gray covered the soles of his feet.
Qiao Yu once wondered if Jiang Mian would suddenly appear one night and wait for him on the way home.
I daydream endlessly, and after a long separation I would imagine how we could meet again.
Even though the probability of such a reunion was basically zero, he didn't think Jiang Mian would really show up.
But today, as soon as he swiped his campus card and went out, he suddenly stopped.
Jiang Mian was wearing a dark grey windbreaker with his hands in his pockets, standing under a street light not far away. When he saw him, he took out his hands and opened his arms to him with a smile.
The dim light sprinkled on the other person's hair, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in warmth, appearing peaceful and gentle.
Qiao Yu took a step forward and quickly took the next step.
He ran towards him.
