Unfortunately, the candlelight dinner that Chen Yu envisioned with Jiang Xiu did not come true in the end.
As soon as his food was halfway done, a bunch of leaders from the mountain city heard the news and came to visit him.
This left him with no time or inclination to continue cooking, and also gave Jiang Xiu no chance to get close to him.
In the end, he had dinner with a bunch of leaders from Shancheng. He didn't want to deal with these people, but he was in Shancheng after all, and Jiang Xiu's inn was also opened here.
He had no choice but to have a meal with these leaders with Jiang Xiu, and naturally drank some wine.
When we came out of the hotel, it was already past 10pm.
Being blown by the night wind outside, Chen Yu felt a little top-heavy. Jiang Xiu, who was walking next to him, saw this and quickly reached out to support him.
Chen Yu helped her hold back a lot of drinks tonight, and she saw it all.
To say that I am not impressed is definitely a lie.
She knew in her heart that with Chen Yu's current status, leaders like Shancheng no longer needed him to give him so much face and drink so much.
Supported by her, Chen Yu stopped, turned to look at her, sighed softly, and said: "Axiu, come with me! The mountain city is too far away from our hometown, don't you want to go home? Let's go back to Huizhou Prefecture to form a
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a home that belongs to both of us and live a peaceful life together from now on?”
Jiang Xiu was a little moved, but when she thought of the scandals he had spread with so many people over the years, she didn't dare to agree, so she helped him walk forward and said as she walked: "You drank too much. What do you have to say? I'll wait for you."
Let’s talk after you wake up.”
wide awake?
In fact, he was conscious at this time.
But he could see that she was still hesitant for the time being.
So, he put his hand on her shoulder and said while walking to the car: "Okay, let's wait until I wake up."
…
Returning to the inn, Jiang Xiu handed him over to Cen Rou and others and watched them take him upstairs. Jiang Xiu himself carried a small teapot and a small teacup made of bamboo to the yard behind the inn.
inside.
She slowly came to the stone table in the yard and sat down on a stone bench.
He lowered his head and poured himself a cup of tea, then raised his face and took a sip.
Then she stared blankly at the stars in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyes were in a trance.
Until the waiter Xiao Qi's voice came from not far away, "Sister Xiu, what are you thinking about? Can I come over?"
Jiang Xiu heard the news and saw Xiao Qi six or seven meters away from her, hesitating and not daring to come closer.
She smiled slightly and raised her hand to wave to her.
Xiao Qi then trotted over and sat down on the stone bench next to her. She put her hands on the stone table, rested her chin on one hand, and blinked her big curious eyes, "Sister Xiu, I saw a lot of people say on the Internet today.
You and Chen Yu were in love, is it true?"
Jiang Xiu smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask: "Then, why did you break up in the first place? He comes to propose to you this time, will you...will you agree?"
Jiang Xiu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "He is so carefree, do you still need to ask why I broke up with him? As for his proposal to me today..."
After a pause, she asked Xiao Qi, "If it were you, would you agree?"
Xiaoqi answered without thinking: "Of course! He is so handsome and rich, and it is rare that he comes to the mountain city to find you. If it were me, I would agree, what? Sister Xiu, don't you want to agree?
Right? Why?"
Jiang Xiu's expression was complicated and she shook her head slightly, "I haven't thought about it yet. I know I like him and have always liked him, but, Xiaoqi, do you know? I'm quite scared. I'm afraid that he's just on a whim, and it won't be long before...
You get tired of being with me, and then go out to date those women. If it were you, wouldn't you be afraid?"
Xiao Qi frowned when asked, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I'm not afraid! As long as he gives me money, and gives me a lot of money, then he can go on a date with whoever he wants! What's there to be afraid of?
Yes? By then, I will live in a big villa, drive a luxury car, and have endless money to spend. Hehe, if he really doesn’t come to me, I will be happy! I can spend all my time freely.
, If you want to go shopping, go shopping, if you want to travel, go travel, how wonderful!”
Jiang Xiu looked at the innocent Xiao Qi in astonishment. She felt that Xiao Qi's words came from the heart.
But Jiang Xiu asked herself that she didn't have Xiao Qi's mentality.
After getting married, do you hope that your man will never come back? Just give him enough money?
Is the marriage just for his money?
She shook her head subconsciously and smiled slightly.
…
year 2013.
The other side of time and space.
On the driving range of a driving school in Huizhou Prefecture.
18-year-old Chen Yu is learning to drive. He wants to get his driver's license during this summer vacation. He feels that he will definitely need this thing in the future.
Anyway, he already has the money to buy a car. It just depends on when he can get the number to buy a car in the capital or go to other cities to buy it in the future.
At this moment, in the driving practice area separated by a wall, a group of driving learners are waiting in line to practice driving. They often queue for two hours. They get on the car and practice for five minutes before getting off and another student gets on the car to practice.
But Chen Yu on the other side of the wall occupies a car and an exclusive coach by himself.
This is of course because of his money making ability.
I have to say, it feels really good to have money.
In this way, he successfully obtained his driver's license in less than two weeks.
As for those students who signed up to learn driving at the same time as him, many of them had not even passed subject two, and still had to line up in the driving range under the scorching sun every day to wait for driving practice.
However, just a few days after getting his driver's license, Chen Yu's good mood was ruined by a sudden text message from Jiang Wenwen.
That afternoon, while he was reading in the bedroom, Jiang Wenwen called several times. He saw her but didn't answer the phone.
Then he received a text message from Jiang Wenwen.
——"Chen Yu! What do you mean? You told me before that you were not coming back during the summer vacation and that you were going to help one of your professors with some experiments at school. Recently, you have been telling me that you are busy, very busy, and you have not even called me once.
, you never take the initiative to send me text messages. I take the initiative to call you, but you don’t have time to answer every time. I send you text messages, and you have to wait for several hours before replying to me. But why do I have friends?
I saw you learning to drive at a driving school a few days ago? Don’t you want to explain it to me? "
Chen Yu picked up his phone and read the text message.
After pondering for several minutes, I decided to make a clean break!
Stop procrastinating. 20 years later, she can feed me cephalosporin while I'm drunk. So why should I procrastinate on breaking up now?
What should be let go must always be let go.
"let's break up!"
He sent these five words.
Soon, Jiang Wenwen called, but Chen Yu didn't answer. Since he had decided to break up, he didn't want to talk to her on the phone again or hear her voice again. He was afraid that he would become soft-hearted.
After all, he liked her so much before.
Jiang Wenwen called several times, but Chen Yu didn't answer.
Finally, she started texting again.
"Why? Didn't we have a good relationship before the holiday? Why did you break up suddenly? You have to give me a reason, right?"
Chen Yu looked at her text message and thought: I should give her a reason, otherwise she might not be able to accept it.
"Because I'm in love with someone else."
He gave such a reason.
This time, he waited for a long time before Jiang Wenwen's reply: "Who? Who do you fall in love with?"
Bo Junya's face flashed through Chen Yu's mind, but he realized that although he had a night of fun with her, he did not fall in love with her in his heart.
He found that apart from Jiang Wenwen, his heart was empty and there was no other woman.
At this moment, he remembered what his 37-year-old self told him when he first contacted him - "Don't be too infatuated. Youth is short. If this doesn't work, try another girl. Stop being a bitch."
No one deserves you to put down your dignity and be kind to yourself! Learn to love yourself."
These words echoed in his mind at this time, making him realize that he was probably an infatuated person in the original time and space, otherwise he would definitely not be able to give such a reminder.
However, he is... different after all.
infatuation?
If the result of infatuation is death, how can he accept it?
Holding back the sourness in his heart, he replied: "You don't know a woman who is prettier, more elegant, and more educated than you, so don't ask anymore! In short, let's break up! We'll never see you again.
Please be safe and sound, I hope you can find a better one."
After sending this text message, he did not receive any more text messages from Jiang Wenwen for the whole afternoon.
He felt that he should have successfully broken up.
But he was not happy at all.
This is his first love.
This is not the result he wants.
But the short video sent by the 38-year-old self made him clearly hear that Jiang Wenwen 20 years later really wanted his life.
If the 38-year-old self had only sent a text message to remind him, he might not believe it yet, and would still be lucky and think that the 38-year-old self deliberately wanted to break up him and Jiang Wenwen and trick him into marrying that Jiang Xiu.
but……
The short video sent by the 38-year-old self left no room for luck for the 18-year-old self.
He had to believe it.
late at night.
18-year-old Chen Yu was lying on the bedside, looking through the text message records between him and Jiang Wenwen, reading one and deleting each one. After reading the text messages, he looked at the photos of the two of them on his phone. There were photos of them and her.
Solo photo.
Previously, these photos were lost because the mobile phone was forgotten to be left on the shore when rescuing Xu Tianxing, and it entered the water. As a result, many photos stored in the mobile phone were lost.
In the end, he only found some photos stored in the memory card of his mobile phone. He regarded them as treasures and cherished them. He even learned his lesson and made a backup copy in his computer.
But tonight, he looked at one and deleted one.
Finally, I simply deleted them all in one go.
Immediately, he stood up, opened his laptop, and deleted all the photos that were backed up on the computer.
After deleting it, he felt very depressed.
Until his cell phone suddenly rang.
He was a little surprised, thinking it was another text message from Jiang Wenwen.
He picked up his cell phone casually and saw that it was from Bo Junya.
"What are you doing?"
She asked this question again. It seemed that every time she sent a text message these days, it always started with these words.
Can't you try something different?
Is the essence of human being really a repeater?
Chen Yu sighed and replied again: "I'm thinking of you!"
Not long after, a new text message came from Bo Junya, "Is it true? You say you are thinking about me every time. I think it's a bit false. Do you have any evidence?"
evidence?
What evidence do you want? Do you want me to prove to you that I am who I am?
Chen Yu, who was in a very depressed mood, complained in his heart, but did not dare to really reply like this.
He thought for a moment, raised his phone and took a selfie of his own face, then sent it to her.
Then, he sent another sentence: "Is this evidence? Look, I think you are so exhausted from thinking about it."
It has to be said that he completely broke up with Jiang Wenwen this afternoon, and the depression caused by it made him look really haggard at this time.
No, after a while, Bai Junya replied: "No way? You are all thinking about me? I am so flattered, do you really like me so much? I can't believe it."
There are pictures and the truth, but you still don’t believe it?
Chen Yu sighed and gathered his energy to reply: "Why don't you believe me? Do you know how beautiful you are? I'm so haggard, and you still make sarcastic remarks?"
Not long after this text message was sent, Bojunya sent a video call request.
Chen Yu frowned and hesitated, but finally connected to her video.
As soon as the video came through, the two of them looked at each other across the video.
In the video, Bo Junya is wearing a sparkling purple nightgown.
Her hair was hanging loose, making her even more charming than usual.
She pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, stared at Chen Yu's face carefully for a few times, and said in surprise: "You have really become haggard? I thought the photo you just sent me was that you were in a bad mood before.
It was taken when I was there!”
Chen Yu laughed and asked lazily: "Do you believe it now?"
Bai Junya nodded, smiled with red cheeks, and said softly: "Then take a good look at me! I'll relieve you of your lovesickness, okay?"
Chen Yu: "..."
He had just completely broken up with Jiang Wenwen this afternoon, and he actually didn't want to see anyone at this time.
Even though Bai Junya is beautiful, she also has a lot of temperament.
However, a person who has just lost his love will be boring to everyone.
It's like entering the state of sage time.
However, the lie you just told must be corrected by yourself.
He looked at Bo Junya in the video with complex eyes, looking straight at it. For a moment, he wanted to really have a good relationship with Bo Junya and let Bo Junya replace Jiang Wenwen in his heart.
but……
Reason quickly told him that jumping from one pit to another was not a wise choice.
Jiang Wenwen is a trap.
Isn't Bo Junya another trap?
Bojunya is exactly 10 years older than him. This is what he learned from asking her a few days ago. He is 18 and Bojunya is 28.
If they really get together, how likely is it that they will grow old together in the future?
He doesn't believe it!
He didn't believe that Bai Junya would wait for him for so long.
I have no confidence that Bo Junya, who is 10 years older than him and has more knowledge and experience than him, can always like him.
Moreover, he asked himself about his current state of mind, and there was no way he could really start a relationship again.
So, when Bai Junya asked him to look at her, he stared at her and complied with her request.
As for unnecessary words, he didn't say a word.
However, when his behavior fell into Bai Junya's eyes, she gradually came to believe that he really missed her and liked her very much.
This made Bo Junya's face become redder and redder, and the smile on her lips became thicker and thicker.
She suddenly bit her red lips gently and whispered: "Hey, if you really miss me so much, why don't you go back to the capital?"
Why are you going back to the capital?
She didn't elaborate.
But the implication behind the words was enough to make Chen Yu think wildly.
He was a little moved, but not in the mood.
Shaking his head slightly, "I would like to, but I don't have time recently."
Bai Junya, who had just finally plucked up the courage to send out the invitation, frowned slightly when she heard this, "Isn't it summer vacation now? Why don't you have time?"
Chen Yu: "I'm going to Suzhou tomorrow. I've bought the tickets. I have something to do there."
He didn't lie to her about this.
According to the death list sent by the 38-year-old himself, in three days, an expert in Suzhou who specializes in treating Alzheimer's disease will die.
He was going to save the man's life.
The tickets were indeed purchased in advance. This time, he learned from the experience of not being able to buy a sleeper ticket when he went to Shanghai on an impromptu trip, so he deliberately booked the tickets a few days in advance.
Bo Junya raised her eyebrows slightly, "Really?"
Chen Yu nodded, "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"
"Suzhou..."
Bai Junya muttered softly, then asked with a smile: "By the way, how long will you stay in Suzhou this time?"
Chen Yu didn't think much and said casually: "At least three days! Maybe two more days, maybe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bo Junya on the other side of the video smiled and said: "Oh, that's it, then I'll take a day off tomorrow, and then I'll buy a plane ticket to go to Suzhou. I've always wanted to go there before.
, because I have always heard that Suzhou gardens are the best in the world! So I have always wanted to visit them.
Since you are going to Suzhou for a few days tomorrow, I will take this opportunity to go there."
At this point, her voice lowered again, and she said with a red face: "It just makes you relieve the pain of lovesickness, how about it? I'll be nice to you?"
Chen Yu: "???"
At this moment, Chen Yu had nothing to say.
He suddenly realized that it was better not to lie easily.
Because others will take it seriously.
Of course, at this moment, he was indeed a little moved.
He suddenly felt that Bai Junya was quite good.
…
So, two days later in the afternoon.
On the big bed in a hotel room in Suzhou, Chen Yu rolled over and got off Bo Junya, leaned side by side with her on the bedside, and softly sighed: "Sister, you are so kind!"
Baijunya blushed and moved her head, resting her head in his arms, and said softly: "I am your girlfriend now. If I am not good to you, who will be good to you? As long as you don't dislike me for being older than you."
More, I will always be so kind to you."
Chen Yu smiled, turned around and kissed her on the face.
…
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
Chen Yu came to Suzhou Second People's Hospital alone and registered as a psychiatric expert.
Before registering, he paid special attention to the name of the expert who had a psychiatric consultation this afternoon - Cao Yiping.
It's the name of the expert on the death list.
The cause of Cao Yiping's death was quite unjust.
According to the information sent by 38-year-old Chen Yu, Cao Yiping died in revenge from the patient's family.
However, subsequent investigations revealed that the family member had killed the wrong person. They originally wanted to kill another expert in psychiatry, but they killed Cao Yiping because they broke into the wrong doctor's office.
