Chapter 28 Chapter 28 I thought you went out and met other friends.
After saying that, Jiang Chi sat up and prepared to take out his cell phone.
Seeing this, Sheng Jianan's heart skipped a beat and he frowned subconsciously. Then he sat up and grabbed Jiang Chi's hand.
The fear that had been pent up in his heart for many years made his voice tremble: "What are you doing?"
The panic on his face was too obvious. Jiang Chi frowned slightly: "Why are you so nervous?"
Sheng Jianan drooped his eyelashes slightly, and then he realized that he was really nervous. His heart was beating violently and his hands were shaking slightly. It was an instinctive reaction that he could not control.
It seemed as if his subconscious was telling him that he was really afraid of Jiang Chi meeting Mile.
Sheng Jianan couldn't even understand why the world of this novel was so cruel to him? He was a cannon fodder, he accepted it, so he ran away, stayed away, and returned Jiang Chi to his destined role as the protagonist.
But the plot point that was originally thought to happen did not happen. By some strange coincidence, he escaped and was then found by Jiang Chi. This also means that he must personally experience Jiang Chi falling in love with the protagonist at first sight, and watch Jiang Chi leave him with his own eyes...
Just thinking about this scene, Sheng Jianan felt suffocated. Suddenly, I recalled a question I had seen on the Internet in my previous life -
How to completely destroy a person? 】
The answer can be summed up in one sentence: Be good to him as much as you can, and then abandon him completely.
Sheng Jianan had experienced the first five words of this sentence, even more deeply than anyone else. Because Jiang Chi was so good to him...
It was so good that he had to use up all the courage he had accumulated over more than ten years to get such a chance to escape.
If he really had to watch Jiang Chi fall in love with someone else, and transfer all the kindness he had shown to him to someone else...
Perhaps this is his inescapable fate, he is destined to be like the little cannon fodder, unwilling to leave in all kinds of torture and pain.
Thinking of this possibility, Sheng Jianan's breathing suddenly became rapid and his hands and feet became cold.
"Sheng Nannan, Sheng Nannan." Jiang Chi frowned slightly and shook Sheng Jianan's shoulder, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Sheng Jianan listened to Jiang Chi's voice, breathing slightly, and for a brief moment, he felt that his body functions had completely failed and he could not move.
I saw him suddenly breathing rapidly, his eyes were dull, like a wooden man. Jiang Chi's breathing suddenly stopped, and for a moment it seemed as if all the oxygen in his brain was sucked out, and he was so scared that he lost his soul. His body's instinctive reaction prompted him to immediately pick up Sheng Jianan and prepare to go to the hospital.
But Sheng Jianan recovered quickly, raised his hand to stop Jiang Chi, swallowed, and said, "I'm fine."
Seeing that Jiang Chi had no reaction, Sheng Jianan stopped him again: "I'm really fine, Jiang Chi."
Jiang Chi finally came to his senses and looked at Sheng Jianan: "Why are you suddenly out of breath? Have you been feeling unwell lately? Or are you having any abnormal reactions?"
Sheng Jianan shook his head: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
Jiang Chi looked at him for a while, then took his hand and said, "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup."
"I'm really fine." Sheng Jianan held him back.
"I've never seen you have this problem before." Jiang Chi said.
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes, was silent for a while, and said: "I'm really fine, it's not a physical problem."
He sat on the bed with his eyes lowered. Jiang Chi stood in front of him for a while, then leaned down and held Sheng Jianan's face.
Sheng Jianan opened his eyelids and looked at him.
Jiang Chi said seriously, "Sheng Jianan, listen, your physical condition is different from that of ordinary people. If there is any problem, you must get checked in time. You also had choking when you were a child. The doctor said that if you were sent to the hospital two minutes later, it would be too late. At that time, your aunt was so scared that she almost fainted."
Sheng Jianan remembers that time, when they were probably less than ten years old, and it was because of a cold that caused a blockage in their respiratory tract.
Sheng Jianan nodded, licked his lips, and explained: "I'm really fine, I'm not suffocating, and I'm not sick."
He looked into Jiang Chi's dark eyes and said slowly, "I'm just thinking about some problems."
"What problem would make your breathing speed up?" Jiang Chi obviously didn't believe it.
"...I was wondering," Sheng Jianan said, "whether one day you will be on good terms with others and suddenly ignore me."
Hearing this, Jiang Chi frowned subconsciously and raised his hand to touch Sheng Jianan's forehead. There is no temperature, so I don't have a fever.
"Sheng Nannan, what's wrong with you today?" Jiang Chi asked, "Why do you have so many weird ideas?"
Sheng Jianan: "Because I recently saw someone say on the Internet that he and a very good friend were inseparable all day long, doing everything together, and the two of them basically couldn't live without each other. But suddenly one day, his friend met someone he liked. The person he liked thought they were too close and didn't let his friend play with him. Then his friend chose someone he liked and never contacted him again."
Jiang Chi listened to him carefully and asked, "Do you think I will be like that friend?"
"...I just think we are quite similar to them." Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and said, "They also grew up together and basically did everything together. But because they had someone they liked and the person they liked didn't care, they parted ways."
Jiang Chi looked at him for a while, stood up, and said, "We are different from them."
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and asked, "What's the difference?"
Jiang Chi looked at Sheng Jianan who was sitting on the bed with his head tilted back: "They are just friends, we are not."
"...Then what are we?" Sheng Jianan asked.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Jiang Chi leaned down and faced him closely: "It can be anything. Sheng Jianan, let me tell you directly. There is no other option between us. You can only be mine, and no one can take you away from me."
Sheng Jianan's dark eyelashes trembled a few times, and he said, "What about you? What if you just want other friends in the future and suddenly stop being friends with me?"
"What on earth have you been watching recently? What's so brainwashing?" Jiang Chi frowned. "Sheng Nannan, think about what you said today. Is it logical? Even if I was hit by a car and lost my memory, I still remember that you are mine. Why should I give my baby to someone else?"
"…But you don't have any logic at all." Sheng Jianan said.
"...Okay, Sheng Jianan, now you can go so far in your insults?" Jiang Chi laughed, "Okay, you can insult me as you like."
Sheng Jianan still stared at him: "What if you just want to be with someone else and not with me?"
Jiang Chi: “…”
Jiang Chi looked at him for two seconds and couldn't help but touch his head again. There were indeed no symptoms of fever. He looked at Sheng Jianan's beautiful eyes that were staring at him, and seemed to understand something.
"Okay, then I'll swear a solemn oath. If I get together with someone else, I'll be hit by a car in the next second..."
Sheng Jianan was startled and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Seeing his anxious reaction, Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Or you can change it. Come and beat me to death. As long as it's you, I will definitely not fight back."
He paused and said, "I have never failed to fulfill my promise to you since I was a child, right? I still have some credibility, right?"
Sheng Jianan blinked and said nothing. The palm of his hand felt a little itchy from the heat, and just as he was about to let go, he felt Jiang Chi pecked his palm.
Sheng Jianan paused for a moment, put down his hand, and Jiang Chi asked with a smile: "Do you believe me now?"
After a moment's silence, Sheng Jianan hummed softly.
In fact, he is very confused now. For a moment, he really has the urge to believe Jiang Chi at all costs. But I was soon awakened by reason.
At present, everything proves that the plot in the novel is proceeding step by step, so how can he and Jiang Chi escape the predetermined ending?
Sheng Jianan really wanted to believe Jiang Chi, but the world seemed to be controlled by an invisible program, and what was going to happen was destined to happen. It has become an unsolvable problem.
"Let's go and have dinner." Jiang Chi stood up and pinched Sheng Jianan's soft earlobe. "Let's go to the hospital for a physical check-up after dinner."
After a brief pause, Jiang Chi looked at Sheng Jianan and stroked his hair soothingly: "Check your brain by the way. It's safer to do a full body check."
Sheng Jianan: “…”
This is probably the sadness of a prophet.
-
Before leaving, Sheng Jianan started looking for his phone again: "Jiang Chi, is my phone with you?"
Jiang Chi turned his head and looked at him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your phone is old. Buy a new one later."
But he had only bought this phone not long ago. Sheng Jianan thought about it and suddenly understood everything.
"Did you have a fight with your family?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi didn't say anything.
Sheng Jianan: "Why are you arguing?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chi glanced at the alarm clock on the table: "Let's eat first. It's past dinner time. Aren't you hungry?"
Sheng Jianan didn't listen to him and continued to ask: "Is it because of me?"
Jiang Chi glanced at him and denied: "No."
After staring at each other for two seconds, Sheng Jianan said, "I want to call my parents. They asked me to keep the phone open at all times. I'm afraid they will worry."
Jiang Chi looked at him without saying anything.
Seeing this, Sheng Jianan thought for a moment, walked up to Jiang Chi, and held his hand: "Jiang Chi, let me call my parents."
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes and looked at Sheng Jianan in front of him. His beautiful eyes looked at him as if they could speak, and blinking them seemed to be acting like he was acting coquettish.
After staring at each other for a while, Jiang Chi turned his eyes away. After a while, I took out my cell phone and gave it to him.
When Sheng Jianan got the phone, he turned it on immediately and many text messages came in at once. Sheng Jianan took a look and found that in addition to his parents, there were also missed calls from Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang.
Sheng Jianan thought about it and decided to call home to report that he was safe.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up quickly. Mother Sheng's familiar voice came through: "Nannan?"
"Mom." Sheng Jianan shouted.
"You finally turned on your phone." Sheng's mother said, "Are you alone now or with Jiang Chi?"
Sheng Jianan raised his head and glanced at Jiang Chi: "We are together."
Mother Sheng was silent for a while and asked, "So how did you guys play these past two days? Did you have fun?"
"Not bad." Sheng Jianan said, "The scenery here is very nice. I'll bring you and dad here to play later."
"Okay." Mother Sheng laughed, then paused for a moment and asked, "Nannan, which hotel are you staying in?"
Sheng Jianan paused and said, "Meet."
Jiang Chi frowned and looked at him.
Mother Sheng on the other end said, "Oh," and after a short silence, she said, "Nannan, your uncle Jiang sent someone to pick you up this morning. They should be arriving at your airport soon. Do you want to go back with them?"
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Chi.
When she didn't get a response, Sheng's mother didn't push her. After waiting for a while, she said, "You decide this yourself. You're a big kid now. You don't tell your mother when you go out. You should be able to make your own decisions."
Sheng Jianan: "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean it..."
"I'm not blaming you." Mother Sheng interrupted him, "Actually, your father is right. You're old enough to be independent. We will respect whatever you want to do in the future, but if you want to go out, you must discuss it with us. At least you have to report that you're safe. Turning off your phone is nothing."
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded, "I know I was wrong. I won't run away without saying a word next time."
"That's good to know." said Sheng's mother. After a slight pause, she continued, "Then you can think about this matter yourself. If you have any ideas..."
She seemed to sigh silently: "Just tell your Uncle Jiang directly."
Sheng Jianan was silent for a moment and then nodded.
After hanging up the phone, before Sheng Jianan could think more, less than half a minute later, Jiang's father called.
Hearing the vibration, Jiang Chi frowned sharply: "Who?"
"...Uncle." Sheng Jianan said slowly.
Jiang Chi walked quickly up to him, took the phone, and originally wanted to hang up, but changed his mind and picked up the call again.
"Is that Nan Nan?" Jiang's father asked on the other end.
Jiang Chi paused for a moment, put the phone to Sheng Jianan's ear, and silently reminded him with his lips: "Say yes."
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Sheng Jianan hummed and called out, "Uncle."
Jiang Chi immediately took back the phone and put it to his ear, then he heard Jiang's father say, "Nannan, I've sent someone to pick you up. It will probably take an hour or two to get to Rong Town. Don't worry, when we get back this time, I will not let Jiang Chi harass you again. If he dares to go, I will break his legs..."
Jiang Chi's face turned cold instantly. He hung up the phone without mercy, turned it off and put it in his trouser pocket.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Jianan saw Jiang Chi pick up the schoolbag on the table, take his hand, and walk out the door.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Jianan asked from behind.
"Let's move to another place." Jiang Chi said expressionlessly.
-
After having a light meal at the B&B, Jiang Chi took Sheng Jianan to the bus stop. The nearest general bus goes to Mount Pichu and departs within 20 minutes. Jiang Chi bought two tickets.
Before getting in the car, Jiang Chi put baseball caps on both Sheng Jianan and himself.
As soon as the two tall boys walked into the bus, the carriage suddenly became crowded and everyone in the car looked at them with attention. Jiang Chi took Sheng Jianan's hand through the aisle, walked to the last few empty rows of seats, and sat down at a random spot.
They were in such a hurry along the way that they didn't have time to stop. After taking a seat, Jiang Chi unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Sheng Jianan: "Are you thirsty?"
Sheng Jianan nodded, took it and drank two sips, then handed it back to Jiang Chi, who tilted his head back and drank half the bottle again.
After he finished drinking the water, Sheng Jianan asked, "Jiang Chi, why did you quarrel with your uncle? He has a good temper. He has never lost his temper with you since you were a child."
Jiang Chi faced forward, no one knew what he was thinking, his face expressionless, his eyes a little dull.
"Is it because of me?" Sheng Jianan asked, "What on earth is it that caused you to quarrel so severely?"
Before he could answer, Sheng Jianan said, "You can't always hide from your uncle, right?"
Jiang Chi then turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why not?"
Sheng Jianan also looked at him, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "What about your studies? What about your aunt? What about your grandfather?"
Jiang Chi laughed: "What about you? Did you think about these things when you left? What about studying? What about your uncle and aunt?"
After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "What should I do?"
Sheng Jianan was speechless.
The bus was shaking as it moved. Jiang Chi moved the chairs on both sides of them back a little so that Sheng Jianan could lean on his shoulder to rest.
Sheng Jianan leaned on his shoulder with his eyes closed, while Jiang Chi rested his head against his, one hand around his shoulder and the other holding his hand. The two of them rested in a hugging position.
When the car was halfway there, Sheng Jianan half opened his eyes and looked at their holding hands. Jiang Chi's hands were bigger than his. He held his hand and rubbed the back of his hand with the tip of his thumb from time to time to warm his entire hand.
Sheng Jianan moved his hands slightly, as if he had noticed his movements, and Jiang Chi suddenly stopped moving.
Sheng Jianan looked at him and put another finger on the back of his hand, but Jiang Chi still didn't move.
So Sheng Jianan grabbed his hand with his backhand, and Jiang Chi let him hold it without moving.
"I won't sneak out alone next time." Sheng Jianan said.
Jiang Chi didn't say anything.
Sheng Jianan raised his head slightly and turned to him: "Jiang Chi, tell me, why did you and uncle quarrel? If it's because of me, we can solve it together."
After a long time, just when Sheng Jianan thought he was determined not to say anything, Jiang Chi spoke up: "How do you solve it? Avoid me completely?"
He closed his eyes, and Sheng Jianan could hardly tell his emotions, but he could sense that Jiang Chi felt very insecure about him.
"What do you want in order for you to believe that I won't avoid you?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi slowly opened his eyes.
Sheng Jianan suddenly figured things out. Why Jiang Chi doesn't want to go back, doesn't want to contact Jiang's father, and wants to take his phone away. Why did his mother say that Jiang's father would send someone to pick them up and asked him to talk to him directly if he had anything to say?
Maybe it was because Jiang Chi took the initiative to come to him? It could also be that the content of his letter caused his family to misunderstand that he left because of Jiang Chi’s excessive possessiveness?
After all, Jiang's father did say a lot about Jiang Chi, but because of his previous indulgence, Jiang's father turned a blind eye to Jiang Chi's behavior.
"Did your uncle tell you not to disturb me?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi frowned slightly and looked sideways at him.
Seeing his frown, Sheng Jianan knew he was right.
"What else did he say to make you unwilling to go back?" Sheng Jianan guessed, "Telling you not to bother me in the future?"
Jiang Chi still looked at him without saying anything.
"I can explain to my uncle that I didn't leave to avoid you," said Sheng Jianan.
He looked into Jiang Chi's eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I read the story I just told you. You always take care of me, and I was afraid that I would hinder your relationship, and you would get annoyed and suddenly ignore me. I thought that we have been together for too long, and I thought I should give you some space to meet new friends. It just so happened that you suddenly went out for two hours that day without me. You have never done this before. I thought you went out to meet other friends."
