why do you like me

046 Jiang Xing

The people sent by Cheng Yumin have arrived at the hotel, but the woman still hasn't stepped out of the room.

It's not a termination of the contract, it's just that I don't participate in the recording of this episode in Xitangkou.But when the matter got to this point, all the gossip had been secretly spread, and if the woman backed down, it would only appear that she was guilty.

Unable to negotiate, the program group can neither disband on the spot nor record separately without women.A group of people in the program group could only chat and fart in the box, complaining a lot.

Cheng Jing's headache tended to become more and more severe, Jiang Chuan didn't want to waste it at all, and said, "Isn't it just to let that woman go out, it's easy!"

Turning around to leave, Cheng Jing stopped him: "This is a hotel, don't make trouble."

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows, the scar on his eyelid jumped up narrowly, and said, "What am I doing, I'm just going to the kitchen to get you something to eat."

He stroked the boy's hair, it wasn't enough, he put him into his arms again, and said in his ear: "Cheng Jing, I finally took a vacation, we don't have time to date and we can't waste time here. Besides, why do you want to do it for me?" This kind of person is angry, how happy she is when she is angry, no."

He kissed Cheng Jing on the forehead, took out the lighter and cigarettes, and said, "Wait for a few minutes, I'll get you something to eat."

Cheng Jing thought he was going to order food, but 10 minutes later the hotel's smoke alarm went off.The scene was chaotic, all the doors of the rooms were pushed open, and the guests fled out in a panic.

Cheng Jing hesitated for a while, but Jiang Chuan had already rushed over to pull him and ran outside.The boy said eagerly: "Come out, come out, that woman has come out, where is your father's person, hurry up and let her get in the car!"

In public, he didn't believe that woman dared to make trouble.

Sure enough, surrounded by people, the woman couldn't do anything, she could only stare at Cheng Jing from a distance, and reluctantly got into the car.

Cheng Jing watched the car drive away expressionlessly, the producer who had been hiding before finally dared to come over, and greeted Cheng Jing as if the matter had been resolved.

Cheng Jing was a little tired and didn't want to deal with it anymore, so he said some polite words, turned around and walked across the road.Suddenly thought of something, and looked back at Jiang Chuan who was following behind: "What did you do just now?"

Jiang Chuan said with a serious face, "I've got you something to eat."

"Here." He lifted up the packaged egg fried rice in his hand, "This is for two people, and I haven't eaten it yet."

Cheng Jing looked at the egg fried rice, thought for a while, and figured out why the smoke alarm went off. His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Thank you, Jiang Chuan."

He reached for the packing box.

"Thank you." Jiang Chuan put his hands behind his head, leisurely, "I just cooked a bowl of rice in the kitchen, and no one murdered or set fire, just a good citizen!"

Cheng Jing smiled: "Well, good people."

The two found a milk tea shop where they could sit on the side of the road, ordered two more drinks and started eating.During this period, Cheng Yumin called, but Cheng Jing hung up directly.After repeated several times, he answered, his voice was cold: "I don't want to go back."

Cheng Yumin said: "Cheng Jing, you've gone too far this time, how can you continue to make trouble?"

"Father, what did I have with you?" Cheng Jing said with a calm face, "Did I ask you to pick me up from school? Did I ask you to stay with me at home all day? I asked you to treat me like a patient." Have you taken care of it? I will not apologize for what happened today."

Cheng Yumin was silent for a while, and sighed heavily.

If this continues, there will only be more and more things to say, Cheng Jing thought sadly.

Cheng Yumin sighed with exhaustion that could not be concealed, and beside him were the voices of others asking for instructions.Cheng Jing's Adam's apple twitched, and finally said: "Dad, today is the Lantern Festival, and I'm not going anywhere. I don't remember what the lanterns at Xitangkou will look like, I want to see again... with Jiang Chuan .”

Hearing his name, Jiang Chuan stopped eating.

The two looked at each other, and Cheng Yumin's voice came from the phone: "Xiaojing, dad will come and find you tonight."

The phone hangs up.

Cheng Jing put down her phone dejectedly, but couldn't even eat a bite of food.He picked up the drink and took a sip. Just as the warm liquid entered his throat, his stomach convulsed, and he vomited it out.The drink cup in his hand couldn't hold it steady, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

He subconsciously pulled out a tissue, but with the other hand he knocked over the lunch box.

This series of accidents attracted other people in the store to look over.

Jiang Chuan stared, stood up and pressed Cheng Jing's shoulder across the table, with a worried expression on his face: "Cheng Jing, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Jing stared blankly at the paper towel in his hand. After a while, he realized that he looked up at Jiang Chuan helplessly, tears fell uncontrollably, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Yes, I'm sorry...I...I'm sorry..."

He actually fell ill in public.

Depression, which I thought was about to get better, suddenly happened again.

It's still daytime.

The waiter came over to ask, Jiang Chuan put the hood on Cheng Jing, covered Cheng Jing's face, and said, "My friend suddenly feels unwell, I'm sorry, I will clean up here."

"Don't bother." The waiter smiled awkwardly, "Should I take your friend to the hospital, he looks a bit..."

Going out was an accident, and Cheng Jing didn't bring his medicine box with him.Jiang Chuan blocked the sight of other people in the store, and asked Cheng Jing in a low voice: "Can you hold on, do you want to leave here now?"

Cheng Jing nodded, got up and walked out.

Jiang Chuan couldn't care less about eating, he repeatedly apologized to the waiter, and followed Cheng Jing.

Fortunately, it was cold today, so I was wearing a loose and comfortable thick coat with a hood that was big enough to completely cover Cheng Jing's face.He lowered his head and walked forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chuan stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Jing, and turned into a deserted alley.He circled people in the corner, took out the lighter and cigarettes in a hurry, and said, "I'm sorry Cheng Jing, I won't accept your cigarettes anymore, you can smoke if you want."

Although he knew a little bit about depression, the disease is different from person to person.What's more, Cheng Jing had been very restrained before, but today he was suddenly stimulated and lost control like this.

Cheng Jing didn't take the lighter and cigarettes, but buried her head in the boy's chest.The nerves of the lacrimal gland were paralyzed and he couldn't perceive and control them. Tears fell in a rush. He wanted to say something, but the only voice he could utter was the boy's name: "Jiang Chuan..."

"I'm here," Jiang Chuan repeatedly responded, "I'm here, Cheng Jing."

At this moment, it is as if the soul is out of the body, and all the perceptions and reactions in the body are uncontrollable.Cheng Jing raised his head and looked at Jiang Chuan.

Those eyes that have always been as quiet as a deep spring seem to be a pool after the rain, with dead branches and leaves floating on the water, looking desolate and helpless.

Jiang Chuan trembled all over, wrapped one hand around the boy's waist, and tried the boy's tears with the other.Tears were hot and gurgling.He wiped it carefully, over and over again.

It turns out that this is what depression really looks like... It turns out that what Cheng Jing encountered in the past was such a helpless moment... Jiang Chuan felt that his hands and feet became as soft as his heart, and he just wanted to wrap the boy in a gentle world inside.He lowered his head, kissed the boy's eyes, and kissed the tears that fell uncontrollably.

"Cheng Jing," he stroked the boy's back like a wounded kitten, "I won't make you sad like this in the future... I won't make you sad like this again."

After a while, Cheng Jing stopped crying, but her emotions never eased, and she couldn't use her strength.Jin Min called, but Jiang Chuan didn't dare to answer it. After hanging up, he sent a text message, and then helped Cheng Jing go out to take a taxi.

Cheng Jing's eyes were so red and swollen that he kept hiding his face in his hood.When he got home, Jiang Chuan took out the antidepressant medicine and fed Cheng Jing, then let Cheng Jing go to sleep.

He called Cheng Jing's doctor, and Jin Min and Jiang Xing came back before he finished speaking.Jiang Chuan made a silent gesture, looked back at the boy on the bed lying on his side with his eyes closed obediently, then went out softly, and dragged Jin Min downstairs.

"Xingzi, don't bother Cheng Jing." Jiang Chuan glanced at Jiang Xing, and then he didn't need Jin Min to force him to ask, and simply explained what happened in the morning.

Jin Min sighed.

She was shocked when she heard that Jiang Chuan led gangsters to snatch other people's program equipment.At that time, the acquaintances watching the excitement in the scenic spot only knew Jiang Chuan, so they all came to ask her for gossip.How did Jin Min know what happened? Later, when he saw that the director of the police station and the director of the scenic spot had returned, he heard that they would not pursue the matter, so he was relieved and quickly contacted Jiang Chuan.

Now that Cheng Yumin was coming, Jin Min was puzzled again: "What happened? I heard that the female celebrity is Cheng Jing's stepmother, but hasn't there been any news of her marriage?"

"Hush." ​​Even though he was already downstairs, Jiang Chuan couldn't help lowering his voice, "Where is the stepmother? That girl is Xiao San'er. Cheng Jing's parents haven't divorced yet, so she rushed to give birth A child forced Cheng Jing’s mother to commit suicide.”

Jin Min was not cruel, so he stared and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Chuan smiled inexplicably: "Mom, that woman is Cheng Tong's mother... Don't think Cheng Tong is so obedient, she was taught by Cheng Jing and has nothing to do with that woman."

Xie Jiayu lived on this street since childhood.Although Jin Min married later, there were elders in the family at that time, and she met Xie Jiayu several times.What's more, the two children had an intersection before, Jiang Chuan didn't remember it, but Jin Min remembered it very clearly.

She didn't believe that someone would do such a thing, but she had no position to refute. She sighed for a while, and stopped blaming Jiang Chuan for being with gangsters. Back to the hotel.

Jiang Chuan picked up Jiang Xing, who had been silent all this time, planted the little girl at the gate, and said, "Why are you holding back your breath, let me out so that I can smell it."

"Brother, you are disgusting." Jiang Xing rolled his eyes.

Jiang Chuan smiled, hugged the little girl without letting go, bent down and put his chin on her shoulder, and sighed: "I know you like your brother Cheng Jing, but don't bother him right now...he doesn't want to To be seen sad by others."

Looking at the cloudless sky at the end of the street, Jiang Xing suddenly said, "Brother, do you know David Hockney?"

Jiang Chuan: "Who is that?"

Jiang Xing: "...Then do you know Caravaggio?"

Jiang Chuan: "Baby, you think highly of your brother's educational level. This name sounds more awkward than the other."

Jiang Xing: "Da Vinci, you always know, right?"

Jiang Chuan: "Well, I know that, the one that draws eggs in elementary school textbooks."

Jiang Xing was silent for a while, then said, "They don't care about gender."

Jiang Chuan came to his senses and looked at the little girl's fair side face from top to bottom, feeling a little complicated.

"Brother, don't make such jokes." Jiang Xing turned around and looked up, and said seriously, "Since you are with brother Cheng Jing, don't make such jokes, even with girls."

Jiang Chuan looked at her.

A 12-year-old girl survived countless shocks when she was a child.At that time, I always vomited when I drank milk, and he helped to wipe my mouth beside me, and changed the water that was warming the bottle when it got a little cold.When he grows up a bit, he rolls his eyes and pinches people when things go wrong.Jin Min said behind his back that he spoiled his sister badly, so he stuck his neck and said, "What's wrong with your temper, Xingzi is fine."

Later, the little girl stopped pinching others, and just caught him and pinched him ruthlessly, making him howl like ghosts and wolves.Later, the little girl fell in love with painting, and she was able to sit in front of the drawing board for a day, and she looked quite ladylike in a quiet manner.

It turns out that my sister has grown up.

Jiang Chuan stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of the little girl's nose, and said with a smile, "When did you know?"

Jiang Xing said, "I asked brother Cheng Jing."

Jiang Chuan: "Why didn't you ask me?"

Jiang Xing: "Can you tell the truth?"

"Tsk." Jiang Chuan laughed, reached out and stroked her hair, "If my mother feels something is wrong someday, let's hide it for your brother first."

Jiang Xing put his hand on top of his head, "Can you not mess with my hair, you're so childish!"

"Hey, the little one dislikes your brother's childishness." Jiang Chuan picked up the little girl again by the waist, and fell to the opposite side of the road.

"Brother, you are really going to die of childishness!" Jiang Xing ran home, slammed the door, and shouted from the crack of the door: "Go out and beg for food by yourself!"

Jiang Chuan shook his shoulders and laughed for a long time. He looked up at the window of the bedroom on the second floor, and saw a black solitary bird flying by.
