Chi Yan said he wanted to leave, but before leaving, he still had many problems to solve.
At the beginning of June, he took out his family’s bankbook and handed it to Chi Yiming: “All the money at home can help you finish high school and college.”
Chi Yiming lowered his head and was stunned when he saw the string of numbers on it. There were actually two hundred thousand! Over the years, Chi Yan worked for Duan Tianhai and modified cars for Yang Song and other second-generation rich people, thus saving a lot of money.
Chi Yiming didn’t reach out to take it. Instead his face was extremely ugly: “You are just leaving like this?”
Chi Yan was silent for a moment: “I can’t be Duan Ling’s dog forever.”
Chi Yiming’s eyes turned red: “Brother, please stay and quit your job. I don’t want your money, I will find a way to earn it myself.”
Chi Yan put the passbook on the table: “The password is your mother’s birthday.” After saying that, he went into the house to pack his things. Except for the ferry tickets and clothes, he left everything to Chi Yiming.
Chi Yiming’s eyes dimmed, looking at Chi Yan with a cold gaze. In 1995, his mother died in a car accident. That winter was extremely cold, there was nothing at home, and the wind and snow were raging.
Chi Yiming had a high fever.
Eleven-year-old Chi Yan carried him on his back and walked north.
At that time, Chi Yan begged, stole steamed buns from the townspeople, and even knelt down to the doctor in order to get him treated.
A child, carrying another child on his back, went to seek refuge with his uncle.
They were young and ignorant, and it was only later that they learned about the compensation.
That whole winter, they almost died more than once. At that time, Chi Yiming hated Chi Yan the most.
Because when his mother was in the car accident, she was holding a birthday cake in her hand. It was a birthday cake bought for Chi Yan.
When her mother picked up Chi Yan, seven-year-old Chi Yan was wandering around on the road.
There was only a piece of cloth embroidered with “Yan” with him, and the weak boy was starving to death. Chi Yiming’s mother fed him, treated him well, celebrated Chi Yan’s birthday, and told Chi Yiming: “He will be your brother from now on.”
Chi Yiming hated this “brother” extremely, and this disgust reached its peak when his mother died.
However, that winter when he was sick, it was Chi Yan who carried him on his back and found a way out.
He was filled with hatred and confusion, but he reluctantly acknowledged this brother. Over the years, Chi Yan raised him without food or drink and let him study, but Chi Yan himself dropped out of school to repair cars.
But now, Chi Yan was leaving.
Chi Yiming asked expressionlessly: “When are you leaving?”
“Three days later.”
“If you leave, you will no longer be my brother.” Chi Yiming twitched the corner of his mouth.
Chi Yan looked back at him, his eyes dark. After a long while, he said softly: “I am eighteen years old this year, Chi Yiming. I have lived for you for eleven years.”
Knelt down, got beaten, repaired cars, did not study, and became someone else’s lackey.
All for the few bites of food he had when he was seven years old.
Chi Yan was extremely calm: “Chi Yiming, I don’t owe you anything.” He protected Chi Yiming for eleven years for that piece of cake. However, Chi Yiming’s mother was not killed in a car accident while buying the cake but was maliciously hit to death. However, she begged Chi Yan to protect Chi Yiming before she died.
Eleven-year-old Chi Yan had a thin face and kowtowed silently in front of her hospital bed.
But Chi Yan just wanted to live like a man now.
….
Chi Yan did not resign to Duan Tianhai. He was alone when he was there and had no sense of presence when he left.
Duan Ling was the first to notice that he had left.
Duan Ling was taken by Duan Tianhai to meet the son of an uncle’s family. Duan Tianhai was in poor health recently. As people got older, they would become more and more worried. He was afraid that Duan Ling would have no one to protect him if he died, so he took Duan Ling with him to go on a “blind date”.
Rich people like them could get engaged early. Duan Ling was already eighteen years old. Duan Tianhai knew about her external flaws, so he was ready to give almost the entire Duan family as Duan Ling’s dowry.
However, the uncle’s son was always very impatient. Later, when Duan Tianhai and his father asked them to cultivate their relationship, he and Duan Ling quarreled.
Duan Ling poured a glass of water on him, and he immediately rushed up and beat Duan Ling: “F**k!”
Duan Ling subconsciously said: “Chi Yan, kill him for me!”
After not seeing the young man for a long time, she realized that Chi Yan had not come.
Duan Ling’s hair was disheveled and she said angrily: “Where’s Chi Yan? Doesn’t he want to live?”
Uncle Zhang rushed in quickly and told her: “He seems to have left.”
Duan Ling’s face changed several times, and she felt a sense of absurdity in her heart. She stopped dating on the spot and ran to Duan Tianhai: “Dad, Uncle Zhang said that Chi Yan no longer works at our house. Please help me capture him.!” There was resentment in her eyes, “Catch him back. I know everyone despises me, but he has never despised me.”
Chi Yan seemed to be a person without emotions, but Duan Ling was attached to this ruthlessness.
Duan Tianhai felt sorry for her and asked someone to check for her. It was found that Chi Yan was ready to leave. Duan Ling’s face suddenly turned pale.
….
Chi Yan was sitting at the stern of the boat, and Dai Youwei said, “Why are you always looking at the port? We won’t have anyone coming to say goodbye. Or will your brother come?”
The day in June was extremely clear, the sky was blue, and the sun was surprisingly bright.
Chi Yan said nothing, then he frowned on seeing Duan Ling getting out of the car wearing a mask.
Her eyes were full of anger: “You want to leave? Did I agree?”
Chi Yan glanced at her, still cold.
Duan Ling was furious and raised her hand to slap him.
Chi Yan pinched her wrist and pushed her away: “Get out.”
Duan Ling was stunned and couldn’t believe what she heard.
There was hatred in her eyes: “Catch him and don’t let him leave.”
She brought two bodyguards with her, and they came immediately as ordered. Dai Youwei said quickly: “If you have something to say, please say it carefully, Miss Duan, don’t do anything!”
Duan Ling said: “Break Chi Yan’s legs!”
Chi Yan sneered.
Dai Youwei tried to stop them and was punched by two bodyguards. More and more people came out of the boat to watch the excitement. Chi Yan moved his wrist, gathered strength, raised his legs, and knocked down the two bodyguards.
Dai Youwei rubbed his chest, dumbfounded.
Duan Ling’s voice trembled: “Useless trash!”
Chi Yan gave her a cold look but did not hit her. It was not that he didn’t hit women, but it was better to cause less trouble before he left.
He boarded the boat again, and Duan Ling took a few steps forward: “Chi Yan! Don’t you just want a way out? You stay with me, and I will let you join the Duan family.”
Chi Yan thought it was extremely funny, but he didn’t laugh. The boat would be leaving in two minutes, so he stepped on board without hesitation.
Duan Ling finally became anxious: “How dare you leave! One day you will regret it. If you leave my Duan family, you will be a waste with no money.”
Chi Yan turned around and said, “Miss Duan, just pray that one day, a good-for-nothing like me doesn’t come back.”
The boat sailed, and Duan Ling looked at him bitterly.
Dai Youwei swallowed: “Chi Yan, are you really leaving like this?”
Chi Yan said: “What else?”
“I thought you kept looking over there, waiting for someone.”
Chi Yan didn’t answer him.
Dai Youwei coughed: “Really, we can’t tell what’s going on over there. In fact, it’s okay for you to stay. After all, you have a younger brother. I don’t care. I’m alone and have nothing to worry about. Even if it’s worth the risk for me to get a wife, Chi Yan, why are you doing this?”
The noise of the boat on the water was jarring.
Chi Yan spoke after a long time: “I want to become a man who stands upright before coming back.”
The two of them sat on the deck, Chi Yan touched the thin package, as the city of R gradually faded away. Duan Ling was here, but he knew Jiang Sui wouldn’t come, as she didn’t even care.
Now that he was gone, she should soon forget about him.
This small town had witnessed many of his embarrassments.
He just wanted that when he set foot on this land again, no one would yell at him, he wouldn’t have to shoulder the responsibility for Chi Yiming, and he wouldn’t have to kowtow to others.
That way he could straighten his back like an ordinary boy.
When he was young, there was a white moonlight in his hometown.
In the hundreds of days and nights that followed, he would occasionally think of her and the way she smiled that one year.
….
In the summer of 2005, Jiang Sui opened the window.
The young man among the platycodon flowers retracted his hand from her window in embarrassment, and his expression turned into arrogant anger: “Jiang Sui, I saw it, that yellow guy in your class confessed to you again. You still smiled at him, I want to tell your dad, tell your teacher!”
Jiang Sui said: “Sun Xiaowei, come over here.”
“Wha, what?” He had disdain written on his face, but he quickly moved closer, “What do you want to tell me?”
Jiang Sui suddenly took out a feather duster from the house and hit him on the back: “Who asked you to follow me! You don’t learn well! You also distort the facts!”
Sun Xiaowei gritted his teeth and looked at her: “Hit me! I’ll tell on you when you’re done.”
Jiang Sui closed the window and shut Sun Xiaowei out to dance by himself.
It was scorching hot in R City in August. Jiang Sui opened her umbrella and walked to the “Chaolu Dance Class”.
The girl had a light figure and was wearing a mint-colored skirt.
Sun Xiaowei looked at her back blankly, knowing that she was going to the dance class to teach the little girls again.
Time flew so fast. Apparently many years ago, the ugly girl could not walk steadily and had to learn balance exercises to cure her illness. But as she grew up, she started helping others.
The girl was holding an umbrella, her waist was very thin, and her previously flat chest had become bulging at some point.
If Jiang Sui was like a budding flower in her third year of junior high school, now that she was a sophomore in high school, she was in full bloom.
In R City No. 9 Middle School, you may not know who was number one in the grade, or you may not know who was the “school bully”, but everyone knew Jiang Sui.
She recovered from her illness, could walk without falling down, and was so beautiful that the whole school knew her.
She was obviously so clumsy when she was a child, but now Jiang Sui has begun to excel. She was a school presenter and had danced on stage before. Her voice had also become soft and beautiful, like pearls falling on a jade plate.
Many people chased her, and many lost.
Sun Xiaowei angrily kicked the flowers in front of her window.
What used to be a few flowers had now become a large bush, and almost all the teenagers in the courtyard had secretly planted flowers for her.
Sun Xiaowei looked at her back, his heart beating very fast. He turned around and trampled some of her flowers to death angrily: “You are a watery flower! Ugly girl, ugly girl!” Sun Xiaowei didn’t mean what he said, and only he knew how bitter he felt in his heart. She obviously loved to play with him before, but as she grew up, she started paying great attention to the boundaries between men and women. So, after finally returning home, she didn’t pay much attention to him.
Jiang Sui came home in the evening and unexpectedly saw Sun Xiaowei again.
He smelled of alcohol and was venting his anger on a few people. He didn’t look good when he saw Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui ignored him and went back after drying her clothes.
Sun Xiaowei suddenly said: “Jiang Sui!”
Jiang Sui turned around.
“You didn’t date Chi Yiming when you were a kid, right?”
Chi Yiming disappeared before taking the high school entrance examination. Jiang Sui hadn’t heard this missing name for two years, and she shook her head.
Sun Xiaowei gritted his teeth and said: “That’s good. He came back after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan, and now he’s so awesome. He even asked me to toast him!”
Jiang Sui: “… ” When she thought about it herself now, she felt that this was more terrifying than having to deal with Chi Yiming.
