Jiang Sui was happy and fulfilled during this time.
She was in the first grade of junior high school. The teacher in her class was very kind. Her deskmate Chen Shujun was lively and cute. Moreover, their classroom was on the third floor, while Chi Yiming’s classroom was on the second floor. She generally didn’t see him at school, which made her very happy.
Many people who had a new life wanted to live a wonderful life. However, when they really went back in time one day, they realized that some things were easier to think about but harder to do.
Those who remembered lottery numbers and stock market trends ended up wanting a refreshing life with a wide range of imagination.
Being able to go back over again, live her childhood tenderly, and stay with her loved ones was particularly satisfying for Jiang Sui.
This year, the wind was light and the sky was blue, there was no car exhaust in the air of the small city, the flowers were blooming so brilliantly, and the children didn’t play with each other on their mobile phones.
There was no Mathematical Olympiad, only lovely computer classes and the crunching sound of the music teacher’s organ.
It snowed when winter came in R City, and time became slow and lovely.
By the end of December, Jiang Sui still insisted on doing balance exercises every day.
She was growing recently and felt a dull pain in her chest. The girl’s appearance and exquisite body were slowly changing. She had to start wearing girly underwear, so she had tied a small white bow behind her neck.
What was worse was that one day after school it rained and the ground was slippery, so she fell again. This time it was more serious. Half of her face was scratched by a rough stone, but it was fine because she was wearing thick clothes.
Jiang Shuisheng was extremely anxious. When the doctor was disinfecting her, he praised her: “The little girl is so strong. She never cried even once.”
Alcohol disinfection was very painful, and the doctor was actually worried that it would leave scars. The doctor covered half of Jiang Sui’s face with gauze and told her not to scratch it. The left half of the little girl’s face was bandaged and the right half of her face was bruised, which looked really pitiful.
Jiang Sui comforted her father: “I’m almost cured. I didn’t pay attention this time. I’ll be fine after this winter. I’m fine.”
Seeing the warm smile in his daughter’s eyes, Jiang Shuisheng also relaxed. This was an accident that proved that Jiang Sui was getting better. It didn’t matter whether she looked good or not, or whether she had scars or not, as long as she was healthy and happy.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Sui went to Jiang Xue’s house to celebrate the New Year and watched the fireworks in the distance. She suddenly realized that it had been more than three years since she came back.
The biggest change in her life was that there were two young men named Chi missing in the northernmost part of the courtyard.
Jiang Sui held her chin and thought, in a few years, they would all be great people.
….
Chi Yan opened the door, his arm still bleeding.
Chi Yiming was startled: “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Chi Yan’s eyes darkened and he shook his head.
“Let’s go to the hospital!”
Chi Yan frowned, pulled off the strip of cloth, took off his clothes and bandaged it. It was clearly snowing outside, but he had broken out in a cold sweat.
Chi Yan explained simply: “There was an accident at the car dealership. Someone called Boss Wen to take someone to repair the car. But he was there to seek revenge. Boss Wen offended too many people when he was young, and he was even more seriously injured.”
Chi Yiming sat down and frowned tightly. Chi Yan said it calmly, but since it was a blatant pursuit of revenge, it would definitely not be easy to fight back.
It could be seen that Wen Lei resisted and Chi Yan also took action.
His guess was correct. Chi Yan grabbed a steel rod and ran out with Wen Lei and Dai Youwei.
Chi Yiming said: “Brother, you shouldn’t care about him. In that case, Wen Lei has just done a small favor to you, and you don’t have to fight for him.”
Chi Yan’s lips turned pale, and he shook his head: “It’s okay, I have a plan in mind.” His eyes were far-reaching, with a hint of brilliance.
On the third day after the new year, Chi Yan took apples and went to see Wen Lei. Wen Lei sighed: “I’m most sorry to you and Youwei about this matter. I won’t continue to open the car dealership. I saved some money and am going back to my hometown. I left a sum for you and Youwei, so you should take good care of yourself in the future.”
Chi Yan nodded.
“What are your plans for the future?”
Wen Lei originally thought that Chi Yan would shake his head and say nothing, but the young man was silent for a moment and said: “Can you give me a recommendation? I want to work for Boss Duan.”
Wen Lei looked at him in surprise.
Duan Tianhai was a well-known businessman in R City. Wen Lei was actually not very familiar with Duan Tianhai. For someone of his class, Duan Tianhai would basically not have anything to do with him.
Chi Yan had no diploma and only knew how to repair and assemble cars. Logically, he could not work under Duan Tianhai.
However, Chi Yan had saved his life. Wen Lei was a loyal person, so he would naturally fulfill this request.
Wen Lei thought for a while and said, “Just wait for a while, and I’ll find a way for you in the spring.”
Chi Yan stood up and bowed deeply.
Wen Lei accepted this gift and sighed in his heart. This kid… looked silent but his thoughts were not shallow. He was afraid since it rained heavily last year, he seemed to have anticipated this day when he went to repair Duan Tianhai’s car.
Chi Yan was courageous and calm. For such a person, in many years’ time, even Duan Tianhai might not be able to compare to him.
After the beginning of spring, Wen Lei kept his promise and spent a lot of effort to introduce Chi Yan.
Duan Tianhai received him at his house in City R.
“Are you… the young man who helped me repair my car before?”
Chi Yan nodded.
Duan Tianhai smiled: “That’s quite a fate. I heard your boss say you are quite good.” He paused and looked at the tall young man, “But I am doing business, and you are not yet eighteen years old, it’s not like I know anything…”
Chi Yan said calmly: “I know cars, and I have been learning English by myself. Please give me a chance.”
Duan Tianhai said: “But I am in the clothing business.”
Chi Yan knew that it was untrustworthy for Duan Tianhai to ask him to come to him if he had any trouble the year before. After all, businessmen were good at leaving a good impression on others, let alone the cunning Duan Tianhai.
Chi Yan expected it, so although he was sorry, he was not disappointed. He nodded politely and turned to leave.
Duan Tianhai actually admired his calmness: “Wait a minute… I have an errand, but I don’t know if you are willing to do it. The monthly salary is five thousand, how about it?”
Chi Yan’s pupils shrank slightly.
….
In March, Chi Yan parked the car and opened the door for a girl in a blue skirt.
The girl pushed him away in disgust and screamed: “I told you I don’t want to go to school, and I don’t want to go to this kind of school either! Get out of here!”
“Miss Duan Ling, please get out of the car.” Chi Yan said calmly without squinting.
Duan Ling said: “If I don’t go down, what can you do to me?”
“Nothing, I’ll just stay here with you.”
Duan Ling sneered: “You are really my dad’s good dog.”
Chi Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes expressionless.
Duan Ling knew that this young man might not be easy to mess with, so Duan Tianhai chose him in the end. She pulled on her mask and kicked him hard before getting out of the car: “Get out!”
Chi Yan did not move.
Even though Duan Ling’s mask covered half of her face, her protruding forehead and exposed small eyes were not good-looking.
Watching Duan Ling walk into Sunshine Junior High School, Chi Yan followed her.
He never thought that he would get to go back to school in such a way.
Duan Tianhai’s ex-wife left behind a daughter with a deformed appearance. Later, Duan Tianhai could no longer have children, so this only daughter became Duan Tianhai’s heartache. When it rained heavily last year, and Duan Tianhai was rushing back just to see Duan Ling.
However, Duan Ling was often laughed at when she was studying in an aristocratic school, so Duan Tianhai came up with an idea and sent Duan Ling to the ordinary Sunshine Junior High School. If the people here bullied his daughter, he could teach them a lesson! Duan Ling might feel more comfortable in this way.
Chi Yan was not old enough that he could not “accompany” her in school, and he could also drive. Chi Yan could take care of Duan Ling’s school life.
Chi Yan had no objections. By following Duan Ling, he could read all the books in the Duan family’s reading room, drive a car, and in 1999 he would receive a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. The most important thing was… he could go back to school temporarily.
He would be studying in the third grade of junior high school with Duan Ling, who was 16 years old.
Chi Yan walked into the school, where the thin willow branches were swaying. He tilted his head slightly and saw the little girl under the spring scenery. She was having her physical education class and was being held by another little girl while running.
“Jiang Sui, hurry up, we’re going to be late for the meeting.”
The little girl’s cheek was covered with gauze, and she ran awkwardly and laboriously: “Chen Shujun, slow down, I can’t run.”
It had been half a year, and Chi Yan originally thought that this kind of glimpse of the past from when he was young would gradually fade away. But when he saw Jiang Sui again, he still remembered the uncomfortable feeling of heartache.
It was obvious that Jiang Sui’s little face was even more embarrassing than when he left her, but he only remembered her poking her head out, with two cute little bunnies on her braids, a bright smile, and the platycodon beside her that was blooming just right.
At this moment, Jiang Sui was also extremely happy, which made one’s heart twist with hatred at this scene. Such a happy little girl might have forgotten who even Chi Yan was.
Just like there was sunshine, green grass, winter snow and autumn leaves in her eyes, even Chi Yiming, who frowned and rejected her, was alone without her. So why did he still care?
Duan Ling, who was walking in front, turned around and realized that the rigid, stubborn, expressionless follower boy beside her was still standing on the trail.
Duan Ling: “What are you looking at! Why don’t you catch up!”
Chi Yan turned around and walked towards the teaching building.
Duan Ling snorted coldly, her disgust palpable.
She followed his gaze and saw a burst of cheers in the playground. A group of young boys and girls dispersed and ran to the classroom.
They were all youthful.
She didn’t know who Chi Yan was looking at.
