Reserve the sun

When the teleconference ended, it was already two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Liu took off the wireless earphones on his ears and went straight to the bathroom.The face of the person in the mirror was paler than in the morning, and there was a faint blue circle under the eye sockets. Compared with the impeccable business elite in the morning, Jiang Liu at this time was more like a living person.He stared at the mirror intently, as if he wanted to see something else from that shadow.Just a moment later, the corner of his mouth pulled out an arc, he shook his head and got under the covers.

For Jiang Liu, sleeping and dreaming is extremely normal, so normal that it has become one of the criteria by which he judges his mental state.If one day he doesn't have a dream, he will probably call his psychiatrist directly for remote counseling.But unfortunately, since Jiang Liu can remember, such a thing has not happened.

That night, Jiang Liu still had a dream, but it was different from the previous dream that seemed to re-experience the day's events. In his dream, some fragments of his childhood memories appeared, and the scenes were all about himself without exception. The place I visited when I went to China with my mother.He sat up from the bed and squinted his eyes for a while, thinking that it was probably because he hadn't been here for a long time. Although the physiological stress response was rare, it was not abnormal.

Today, the communication between Donald and Yu Zhou has become more detailed. People from all walks of life have been arranged in several quieter and more comfortable small meeting rooms to understand the requirements and conditions of their respective departments individually.This distribution method made Ji Yu and Jiang Liu the most "leisure" people in the cooperation between the two parties.This method made Ji Yu very uncomfortable. Although the reasons the opponent picked out were so professional that no one could find any reason to refute them, he just had a premonition that the opponent wanted to defeat them one by one.

As soon as he heard that the other party's personnel had been arranged, Ji Yu wanted to stand up and go outside the meeting room to see if there was anything he could do.But Jiang Liu seemed to have seen his purpose a long time ago, and came to Ji Yu's office in a well-dressed manner in the morning - to drink tea.

With a tall nose bridge, slender eyelashes, and deep eyes, Jiang Liu's appearance sitting on the sofa drinking tea is simply breathtaking, especially when the sunlight coming in from the window hits his face with a soft light effect It is simply challenging the limits of human endurance.

Ji Yu is also a human being, but what he endured was not Jiang Liu's subtle beauty tricks, but the natural and unceremonious casualness from the other party.

He hasn't done any serious work in the past few hours. He wants to use the computer to reply to emails, but he can see Jiang Liu as soon as he looks up, and occasionally glance at each other.After just a few back and forth, he even found that his hair was not black as he thought at first, but a very dark brown.But Jiang Liu didn't seem to care about his scrutiny, she should be looking at her mobile phone, drinking tea, and she made an international long-distance call in front of Ji Yu without any hesitation on the way, very frankly and naturally.

However, no matter how good-looking his face is, it can't stop Ji Yu's urge to go up and beat him up—I'm going to observe the negotiation situation, what do you mean by staying here and drinking tea? !

"Mr. Jiang, do you need another cup of tea?" Seeing that it was time for lunch break, he couldn't believe that Jiang Liu could not eat.Now, catching Jiang Liu's excuse that his cup was empty, Ji Yu asked with concern, but the words were good, but his tone tinged with resentment.

Jiang Liu is such a keen person, looking at the tense muscles on Ji Yu's cheeks, one can imagine how tightly this person's back molars are clenched. "Don't be so troublesome, it's getting late now, why don't you have lunch with Mr. Ji. You might as well introduce me while there is still half an hour left."

Damn, don't even miss the lunch break?Ji Yu clenched his fist even tighter.He pulled out a not-so-calm smile: "I don't know if Mr. Jiang knows Sichuan cuisine. I know a few good Sichuan restaurants. The dishes there are very good, and there is hot pot. I was thinking about bringing Donald's Let the representatives go together, how about Mr. Jiang try it first and give some advice?” I know you foreigners can’t eat spicy food, so let’s see if I don’t make it spicy this time!Ji Yu sneered in his heart, and silently decided that if he had hot pot, he would definitely not order mandarin ducks.

Jiang Liu raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, "Boss Ji's idea is good, so let's eat Sichuan cuisine. I believe in your vision and taste." He didn't know that it was Ji Yu's revenge, but he was so aggrieved and tied to him. The office has been thinking of scolding himself all morning, and Ji Yu, the president, is really a childlike innocence.However, it's not too annoying.

"Mr. Jiang, don't you have to meet with your employees at noon? We talked all morning, and if they have a problem but can't find someone, isn't it good?" Ji Yu still didn't give up.

Hearing this, Jiang Liu raised her head and looked at Ji Yu, maintaining her calm face but showing a black belly from the corner of her eyes, "I am very confident in my people, if Mr. Ji wants to meet his employees, then I will Don’t bother you and go to eat by yourself, but you just need to tell me the address of the restaurant you have chosen, I’m sorry.”

Almost choked by Jiang Liu's words, Ji Yu quickly shook his hands, "Mr. Jiang, don't be joking, how can I be worried about my employees? Isn't this worrying about Mr. Jiang's needs! Since you have said so, then I'm relieved! Let's go now, there will be traffic jams at the peak later!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ji Yu's panic and embarrassment greatly pleased Jiang Liu, although he still wanted to continue to tease him, but as a kind person, he decided that enough was enough.There is an idiom in China that says it is very good, just accept it when it is good.

The restaurant that Ji Yu took Jiang Liu to was not luxurious but definitely high-end. The decoration style was a bit retro. The spicy taste is pervasive, making people feel hungry as soon as they sit down.

"What would you two gentlemen want to eat? Do you want me to recommend it for you?" The little waiter looked at the two handsome guys with different styles with bright eyes, and his little face was flushed with embarrassment and excitement.

Ji Yu has been living under the eyes of others since he was a child, and he has encountered such a situation [-] times if not a thousand times.He took a look at the menu, and said in a gentle tone: "No need, I am quite familiar with this place. There are only two of us, and we don't need to order too many dishes. One plate of boiled fish, one serving of fish-flavored shredded pork, one A spicy pig's brain, a plate of mapo tofu."

Although the little waiter was infatuated, she wrote quickly with the ballball in her hand. She stopped when she heard Ji Yu's voice, and looked up at Jiang Liu who was sitting on the other side, "Where is this gentleman?"

Jiang Liu shook his head: "I don't have anything to say, just follow what Mr. Ji said."

The little girl was not too entangled, and went to place the order happily, thinking to herself as she walked: Anyway, this handsome mixed-race guy said a few words to himself, which is really enough.

He poured himself a glass of water, and Ji Yu's nerves, which had been tensed all morning, relaxed a little.Although he is not an inhuman like Jiang Liu, he grew up in the name of a genius anyway, but after a few meetings, he has discovered Jiang Liu's habit of not liking to talk about work when he is resting.Just like just now, he didn't call him Mr. Ji, but Mr. Ji.British people always hold their own status, men should act like gentlemen and women should act like ladies. Now that he has put down his work, Ji Yu believes that Jiang Liu will not set him up at this time.

Both of them are proud and calm people in their bones. Although they are usually smooth and talkative, they don't like lively things in essence, and they spend a lot of time alone on weekdays.At this moment, no one took the initiative to speak, and the scene naturally quieted down.

Seeing Ji Yu's indifferent eyes and his fingers unconsciously knocking on the teacup, Jiang Liu knew that the other party was in a daze.He just learned about the discussion process this morning from an email, and all the representatives' comments were very positive. The person in charge who contacted them was not only familiar with the part he was in charge of, but they could also give clear answers to other related questions at the first time. .This result is unexpected and reasonable.He deliberately put forward the request for a separate discussion, the purpose is to expose the weakness of Yuzhou, and see if this small company will collapse if it loses its trader, and there will be no leader.So he went to Ji Yu's office alone early in the morning, drinking tea and chatting, despite Ji Yu's explicit hints that he would not leave.

Although Ji Yu was a little anxious and naive during the whole process, the result was very good. Yuzhou is not a company with only pillars.

After Jiang Liu sent a group message to the representatives, he stuffed his mobile phone into his bag, "Mr. Ji, today's meeting is estimated to last all day, we have nothing to do, why don't you fulfill the agreement and take me around Transfer it." His tone was very light, it was obviously a discussion, but it was impossible to refuse.

Ji Yu, who was in a daze, was called back to the world, his eyes still a little hazy, "This afternoon?"

"Yes, Mr. Ji already has arrangements for this afternoon?"

Ji Yu sighed in his heart, that's all, he made it clear that he didn't want to let himself be exposed to work, "There is no arrangement, as long as Mr. Jiang doesn't dislike it, I am willing to be your guide."

There was another silence between conversations, but this time the waiter came in with delicious dishes.

Looking at the plates of bright red Sichuan dishes, Ji Yu finally realized that he had done a very naive thing.He looked at Jiang Liu with a guilty conscience, but the other party did not show any dissatisfaction, but asked politely: "Mr. Ji, can I use these chopsticks as serving chopsticks?"

Ji Yu mechanically nodded, buried his head silently and began to eat.But the first time he stuffed boiled fish with chopsticks into his mouth, he regretted it. It is true that he loves Sichuan cuisine, and it is true that he is addicted to Sichuan cuisine, but he has been eating Sichuan cuisine for many years, but he is still afraid of spicy food!Just now I was thinking about getting revenge on Jiang Liu, so I chose the spiciest dish in the restaurant, and I also ordered the spiciest dish when I ordered it. It would be fine if there was only one plate at ordinary times, but this time it was all spicy.While holding back his teeth and mouth, Ji Yu scolded himself bloody in his heart.

If the sky does evil, you can still live, but if you do evil yourself, you can't live.If you order the dishes yourself, you will die.

He didn't care whether Jiang Liu was retaliated against or not, he just ate the mapo tofu that he loved and hated wholeheartedly.

Cough cough cough - cough - cough cough -

Ji Yu accidentally choked on the pepper and started coughing crazily.

Good tutoring made Ji Yu hold back his cough and swallow everything in his mouth at the first moment, and then quickly turned his back to the direction of the table and coughed, covering his mouth.Jiang Liu, who was sitting opposite, shook her head. She had already seen that Ji Yu was not very good at eating spicy food, so it was fine if he carried it to death, but now he was choking on himself. I really don't know whether to call him stubborn or stupid.Even without looking at his face, Jiang Liu could easily imagine that Ji Yu's face must be flushed now.

He stood up and took a glass to pour a glass of ice water, walked to Ji Yu's side and used his hands to break him to an angle where he was looking at him.Ji Yu was worse than he thought, his face was flushed, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and there were some water stains at the corners of his eyes, probably from choked tears.Jiang Liu froze for a moment, this look of being bullied was very different from the usual Ji Yu, for no reason he felt that his heart was beating faster than before.

Ji Yu first glanced at Jiang Liu suspiciously, but seeing the ice water in the opponent's hand, he couldn't help but put down his left hand covering his mouth, thanked the opponent hoarsely, and then grabbed the cup and drank it down.

Jiang Liu, who was robbed of the cup, hadn't reacted yet, he was still wondering about the problem of rapid heartbeat, and then he was stimulated by the hoarse voice in his ears, and his heartbeat accelerated again.He looked at Ji Yu puzzled, the man's profile was perfect when viewed from the side, whether it was the jaw line, the Adam's apple in the neck, or even the red and swollen lips with the glass in his mouth.

Jiang Liu's mind froze suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with him, no, maybe it was more than something, he was very wrong now, very wrong.

Such a situation where his mind is full of one picture has never happened before. He must calm down first, and then consider whether he needs to call his doctor.

Fortunately, Ji Yu was choked up badly, and now he only focused on drinking water, and didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Liu.After he finished his glass of water and returned to the dining table, Jiang Liu, who was opposite him, still ate in a gentlemanly manner without any change.

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Liu was unusually silent, even when he was sitting in the car, he lost Ji Yu several times in the scenic spot, which made it difficult for him to find him.When Ji Yu found out for the fourth time that the shadow following him had disappeared, he almost couldn't hold back and scolded his mother directly in front of the crowd. "He - bastard! If you don't want to come, just say it, is it interesting to play me like this!"

He turned around angrily and walked back, and he saw a group of girls standing aside and whispering.Jiang Liu's appearance is too outstanding, just standing there can attract others' attention, and because of this, Ji Yu can easily find him the few times he disappeared.He made up his mind that this time he must speak clearly to Jiang Liu. Although he wanted something from others, he also needed respect.

Having figured it out in his mind, Ji Yu's footsteps became much lighter. He walked towards the direction of the eyes of the group of girls, and soon saw the figure in the suit and leather shoes.He was standing in that water pavilion, watching the lake in front of him remain motionless. He was obviously incompatible with the whole environment from his appearance to his attire, but there was a discordant attraction.Ji Yu scanned around and quickly found the suspension bridge leading to the water pavilion.He walked across the suspension bridge boldly, but after a while, he stood beside Jiang Liu.

It was clear that the distance between the two had exceeded the scope of the comfort zone, but Jiang Liu still stared at the water surface unconsciously.Ji Yu wasn't really naive, he couldn't do something deliberately scary, he thought for a while, then took two steps back, standing not far behind him, waiting for Jiang Liu to find him.

It was also at this time that Ji Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, and Jiang Liu's eyes seemed to be covered with mist.Even in the morning, he was still looking at the radiant and sharp eyes, but now he was full of doubts and an imperceptible restraint.Ji Yu felt that he probably encountered something very difficult to solve. After all, it must be a very serious problem that can make such a person so distracted.

Ji Yu's thoughts almost hit the heart.

After pouring Ji Yu a glass of ice water, Jiang Liu fell into a panic.He thought he would be able to return to normal after calming down, but his heart and brain were unwilling to stop there.Various clips related to Ji Yu were playing repeatedly in his mind uncontrollably, without logic, timeline, or reason.When sitting in the car, he didn't even dare to look at Ji Yu, he was afraid that the fragments in his mind would add a new piece of material at this crazy moment.So after arriving at the scenic spot, he began to deliberately distance himself from Ji Yu, and wanted to call his doctor when Ji Yu was far away.

Jiang Liu could feel that his heart was still beating fast, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed the doctor's number calmly: "Sian, I'm sorry to call you at this time, I encountered something abnormal, I think Should have told you."

The people on the other side of the ocean suddenly became emotional, "What's abnormal? Your symptoms have changed again?"

Jiang Liu spoke exquisite aristocratic English, and her tone was so calm that no one could feel any abnormality, "Not exactly, my situation seems to be a bit complicated. Various fragments without logic are playing repeatedly in my mind."

"Oh my god! You're in a state of confusion!? I think you need to come back as soon as possible, I have to give you a full check..." Sean frowned a little nervously.

"No, in fact, it can't be said that there is no logic at all. The characters appearing in it are all the same. Maybe this is the only connection? But there are some scenes that I used to have with my mother. I, I don't know, Sai'an." Jiang Lyu's words were full of doubts and lack of confidence.

"Can you be more specific?" Sean took a pen to write and draw on the paper. "There is no previous case similar to your current state, William, I need more details, do you understand?"

Jiang Liu pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about where to start, "I..." Before he could finish his sentence, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Ji Yu standing not far behind.He was a little nervous unconsciously, and quickly said to the phone: "Sian, it's not convenient for me now, I will send the specific situation to your email later. Goodbye."

He hesitated and walked towards Ji Yu, "Mr. Ji, I..."

This time, his interlocutor also didn't let him finish. "Mr. Jiang, I guess something serious happened to you. I didn't pry into your privacy on purpose, but I happened to come looking for you when you got lost. Don't worry, I didn't hear anything. Just, I hope If there is anything you need to tell me directly, I just went out to play with you, there is no need to make it the same as completing the task, what do you think?"

Ji Yu's expression was serious, but not because of anger.Although he didn't hear everything just now, he also caught words like 'symptoms' and 'cases'. Combined with Jiang Liu's condition, he reasonably guessed that Jiang Liu was suffering from some diseases that were not convenient to disclose.Ji Yu's gentlemanly demeanor does not allow a patient to get angry.

"Sorry, I don't know how to explain it, but my condition is indeed not good." Jiang Liu wryly smiled.

"Then I'll take you back to the hotel." Ji Yu boldly patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder, smiling softly, "Don't worry too much, everything will pass. Besides, you make me feel like you are an ordinary person, then Get mad."

After reading the email sent by William, Sean's first reaction was shock.He has taken over as William's psychiatrist since he was 22 years old, and his teacher has been regularly treating William before.From the moment he knew William, he realized that William was an extremely self-controlled and calm person.While God gave him a memory that is different from ordinary people, God deprived him of the ability to forget. He can recall what he has experienced at any moment in his life, but the horror is that the process of his recall will also be regarded as a new experience. Memories are engraved in the mind.Such extraordinary ability allows William to be able to retain his photographic memory, but he cannot quickly pick up the fragments in his memory that need to be focused and focused on.For him, the people who have lived with him for several years have the same clear impression as the passers-by A, B, C, D who passed in front of him many years ago.

Such a disease is called hypermemory in medicine.

In addition to possessing inhuman memory ability, every hyperamnesia patient usually also has symptoms such as timeline confusion and difficulty in memory retrieval.But William was almost a miracle.His logical thinking ability and IQ are much stronger than normal people. Under the recommendation and guidance of Mr. Sean, William built a thinking castle in his mind that was more complicated than normal.Through dreams, he sorts the memories he produces every day into different rooms in the castle, and takes them out when needed.

This procedure sounds simple, but in fact the number of memory fragments generated during waking every day is surprisingly large, and sorting out at night in dreams is even more exhausting than daytime experience.On the day when he started training, William slept less than 7 hours a week, and he was so haggard that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.But William persisted firmly.A month later, he could even spare time to sort out his previous memories. After a year, except for his superb memory, he was completely indistinguishable from normal people in other respects.

William was 14 at the time.

Sean clearly understands William's ability. Since he took over, although William will report to him every month, he has never heard William say the word "abnormal" over the years.William's ability to collect and organize is at the genius level. Sean once asked William to show him his logic castle. At that time, the rules and regulations William listed for him were comparable to the best archives in the world.

Thanks to this, William did not encounter the usual obstacles of other hyperamnesia patients in retrieving memories.

But this time, William's memory went berserk because of one person.

Sean leaned on the back of the chair and couldn't calm down for a long time. He knew William too well. After more than ten years of familiarization and strengthening, his thinking castle was safer than the best safe.From the beginning, it took a few nights to sort out the memory, but now William only needs an hour to accurately classify the information during the day.Even when he drastically improved Donald's art investment management system, he could still quickly control his memory with only 4 hours of sleep a day.

If William’s situation this time excludes certain fragments of his childhood, it almost all revolves around that Asian man named Ji Yu.Sean learned from the information that this person is the person in charge of the company that William needs to contact this time, and the gentle and elegant young man in the photo is indeed in line with William's description—reserved, calm, gentle and decisive.Sean raised his neck and thought for a long time, then he collected himself and dialed the phone.

"William, I have a few questions for you. You'd better not hide anything and answer me honestly." Sean's voice was very serious, almost commanding.

Jiang Liu froze for a moment, then replied, "Okay, you ask."

"Some of the pictures that come to mind are childhood memories, right? Are all these memories in China? Without exception?"

"Yes, all of them."

"The other memories are all about Ji Yu, aren't they? Without exception?"

"Yes, without exception."

"You started to have abnormalities because you saw him choking on peppers at noon today. At that time, you also had a rapid heartbeat, didn't you?"

"Yes, but don't worry, Sean, the heartbeat has returned to normal now."

"Back to normal? When did it happen? What about the memory? Still in a state of berserk?"

"Yes, after I went back to the hotel early, I took a nap. After tidying up, I'm fine."

"Okay, let's continue. William, this question is very private, but I still hope you can answer me honestly."

"You ask." William's feelings for Sean are the same as those for his brother and father, and he does not shy away from Sean.

"Tell me the truth, when your heartbeat accelerated, did you have any other thoughts in your mind, or how did you feel about Ji Yu?"

"I just think his appearance is very different from what I usually see, which makes me want to keep watching."

"Anything else. Like...wanting to kiss him."

Jiang Liu on the other end of the phone almost dropped the glass in his hand by mistake, and he amplified his voice almost out of control, "Sian! I...I..." He paused for a long time, "Yes. You guessed it Yes, I really wanted to kiss him in the past, and even wanted to lock him in my logic castle to prevent others from prying eyes. Sean, have I finally developed a tendency to become psychopathic? Maybe, I should return to my country now."

Sai'an quietly waited for Jiang Liu's reply, waited for Jiang Liu's silence, and when he finished speaking, Sai'an rolled his eyes and said, "Dear William, I thought I would never see this day in my life, but I didn't expect you But it surprised me at this time!"

"What do you mean? Surprise?"

"William, I think you're probably in love!"
