The conversation with Ji Congyun lasted until the early hours of the night, because his consciousness was still at a relatively sensitive stage, so even though Jiang Shanglu had used a lot of poppy poison to calm his mind, The young man couldn't help crying when he described his situation several times.

Seeing this, Jiang Shanglu had no choice but to lean against the bedside with the light on like coaxing a child, and deliberately changed the topic to talk about something lighter from time to time.

And Ji Congyun, who seemed a little afraid of him at first, after being unconsciously amused by his random anecdote for the third time, could only look at his hands with a blushing face and whispered thank you, Mr. Jiang.

"You don't have to thank me, you look much more like a lively young man than Wen Ying, but it's better for boys to cry less, and you will look easy to bully."

With a cigarette in his finger, he smiled lazily, and Jiang Shanglu's teasing words made Ji Congyun, who was a little pale, twitched his mouth helplessly.

"Wen Ying is much better than me. I am too useless... If the same situation happened to Wen Ying, he would definitely not cry weakly like me..."

Saying this, Ji Congyun, who was physically and mentally exhausted, also sighed. He didn't have socks on his feet when he came, only a pair of leather shoes that didn't fit at all, and Ji Congyun's toes were pinched purple. Doesn't Jiang Shanglu Knowing what's wrong with that Chen Ke's brain, that's the reason why he looks possessive of him and at the same time tosses the poor Ji Congyun like a vicious stepmother in such a way.

And after asking the front desk of the hotel to deliver the men's socks pajamas and a bottle of red wine that he wanted, Jiang, who would never treat him badly no matter where he was, just took out a pen and pad from the bedside table, and rushed Ji Congyun, who obviously looked better, raised his eyebrows and said,

"We can talk slowly, don't be nervous, put the socks on your feet first, be careful not to catch a cold, then you can take a shower, and talk to me about things I need to know now while drinking some wine."

Jiang Shanglu's attitude of not panicking at all, and even being able to handle it with ease, infected Ji Congyun. At least half an hour later, when they started talking face to face, Ji Congyun was able to describe it to Jiang Shanglu with a relatively clear logic. He went from being detained by Liu Changqing to self-destructing and re-accepting some details of cultivation and planting.

And obviously also aware that a large part of his memory is missing due to serious mental problems, Jiang Shanglu only supported his head and lowered his head to record the details of some of Chen Ke's itinerary for a while, then frowned and asked slowly,

"Do you think the place you live in after growing out looks like a wet plastic shed? There is also a strange smell that doesn't look like a plant and a lot of wood chips around?"

"Well, because I haven't grown up yet, I can't open my eyes. I can only vaguely feel that there are many myself in every culture medium around me, and there are many Aunt Suzhen... But, that Chen Ke and I Said, only I am the most successful...that's why he always brings me by his side..."

"... Another of our kind, the oleander girl, mentioned to me that Chen Ke went to a fungus base in the suburbs in the middle of the night, so you and Datura may be locked in those fungi bases by him The experiment in it... the Datura experiment should not be as successful as yours, because I heard that NO. Just wanting to keep having the supplements that keep him growing and healthy forever..."

He opened his mouth in a slightly mocking manner, thinking that he had basically fallen into the same situation as Chen Yongming now, Jiang Shanglu, who was expressionless, had a little indescribably gloomy and indifferent in his eyes, just looking up at Ji Congyun in front of him At that time, he still calmed down and said slowly to him,

"When you leave here tomorrow morning, I will give you some psychological hints about tonight. Don't worry, you just need to maintain your previous appearance. I'm still not sure what kind of special species Chen Yongming is as Shura. , but his strength is far above mine, you have to be careful, if nothing happens, we will have another chance to meet again, and thank you for your help tonight, Second Lieutenant Ji."

"No, no, I should thank you...I will deal with Chen Ke's side. I'm too proficient in this kind of life. As long as...there is still a chance to survive, I will try hard of."

He thanked Jiang Shanglu from the bottom of his heart, and Ji Congyun, who was leaning on the bedside, smiled wryly and moved his feet, which were already in socks, after the two chatted casually, they were a little lost Ji Congyun seemed to have noticed something from Jiang Shanglu's strange attitude of never leaving Wenying.

After a pause with a little hesitation, the honest young man only looked curiously at the mysterious and powerful man in front of him and asked in a low voice,

"Well, I'll just ask casually, you can ignore me, Mr. Jiang How did you and Wen Ying meet? Are you friends at work?"

"Huh? I've known him for a long time. It's not a job, but a personal relationship. He's my boyfriend."

He answered so bluntly without any shyness at all, and Jiang Shanglu's directness almost choked Ji Congyun, who was obviously a little prepared, and secretly muttered in his heart, "Wen Mu, you boy, I really didn't see it." Ji Congyun, who thought about it carefully and was a little happy for his friend, only nodded, then touched his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile,

"...It's pretty good, but I didn't expect the world to be so small... No wonder you kept mentioning him just now... But although Wen Ying doesn't like to talk much, she is really a kind person to others... Sigh , just... just don't know if there is any chance to meet him again, I kind of want to play cards with this kid, we used to play cards like this in the army, he was obviously not interested but still played with me all the time, stupid... "

"There will definitely be a chance, don't worry." Jiang Shanglu replied with a smile while lowering his head to write something on the paper.

"En." Ji Congyun also smiled.

The time quickly ended in such a tense conversation. Early the next morning, Jiang Shanglu, who hadn't slept all night, stood at the window with a bad expression and adjusted his cuff buttons. After Ji Congyun fainted, he bent down and gently hugged the young man, then took his own things and casually went downstairs.

When he saw Chen Ke who was already waiting in the car downstairs, Jiang Shanglu raised the corners of his mouth mockingly and put Ji Congyun in his arms into the back seat of his car, then he stood up straight and bent down to knock From Chen Ke's car window, he deliberately said to Chen Shao, whose face was distorted inside, with a reminiscence,

"I like it very much, but it seems a bit too crying. Maybe that's the case with delicate and fragile plants? Young Master Chen seems to be very good at raising flowers and plants. Please water more when you have time. The skin feels really good to the touch. "

After saying this, Jiang Shanglu ignored the ferocious expression on Chen Ke's face and walked away with a smile. In his opinion, a person with a problematic personality like Chen Ke is full of flaws, but his own grandfather is still Don't worry about putting him in front of others to leave trouble for yourself.

Jiang Shanglu, who had already greeted Ji Congyun in advance but couldn't help but licked his pale lips, thought of the overreactions that Chen Ke, who was overly stimulated by himself, might have in the future.

His heart is also becoming more and more ruthless. Using the lives of innocent victims as a bargaining chip to make blind calculations, he might not have done it before, but now he just said it with his eyes closed.

When Wen Ying really knows what he did behind his back, and knows how he treats his comrades in arms, will he be able to say categorically that he will never blame him for the rest of his life, trust him, and forgive him? He, cherish his words?

Jiang Shanglu didn't dare to think about it, but he really cared about his image in Wen Ying's heart, and he was extremely afraid of losing his beloved young man.

It's just that many times he also has many involuntary things that belong to him. Even if he wants to escape, he is still deeply trapped in it and cannot break free.

Thinking like this, Jiang Shanglu, who was exhausted from staying up all night, just smoked the cigarette in his hand for a while. After thinking about it, he planned to report the work at hand while it was still early.

The only place outside the front door is the steamed siu mai with various fillings, which is the biggest sign in the store. Jiang Shanglu found a place on the second floor where no one would bother him, ordered tea siu mai, and ordered two additional servings to take with him. Go back to Deng Tao and Poinsettia who should not have woken up yet.

After finishing all this, he sat and drank tea and waited for about 15 minutes. Then, accompanied by the sound of the hitting of the crutches and the unsteady footsteps of his left and right feet, a gray-haired old man first poured a cage of hot emerald shaomai He put it on the table and bent down to sit in front of him.

"Eat it while it's hot, and talk about it later."

Shaking his hand to signal Jiang Shanglu not to talk to him about other things, the old man raised his hand and poured some tea for himself, took a sip and looked at Jiang Shanglu who was not looking well in front of him with concern and asked,

"Are you tired? Do you feel better after going back and resting?"

"It's okay, but according to your regulations, you are not allowed to say anything else when you are serious about business."

He lowered his head and ate his breakfast in a slow manner. Jiang Shanglu looked at the old man in front of him with a smile that was not a smile. The white-haired old man obviously paused when he heard the words. It took him a long time to look at him with helpless eyes and then said slowly. ,

"You and I can only talk about business matters. We need to be serious when we talk about things in the working environment, but now what about our family affairs? I, the grandfather, will take care of my grandson-in-law for my grandson. It’s not easy for me to treat him to his favorite morning tea at my own expense, and send him back with a broken leg later on, isn’t it?”

"It's not easy. Then pay for the package money for me. I also want to have some mutton for lunch. What do you think, grandpa?"

"Hey, okay, why not, eat whatever you want, I'm the happiest when you have a good appetite, doesn't our Aying want to coax you to eat more every day?"

It was completely different from the scary and gloomy atmosphere in the conversation room that day, this time the old and the young had a relaxed atmosphere of getting along and cooperating for half a year.

And Jiang Shanglu, who couldn't help curling up his lips seeing the old man who deliberately winked at him with an old and unscrupulous look, didn't want to continue such boring nonsense with him, so he casually pushed the notepad with some special symbols on it. In the past, he slowly opened his mouth and said,

"The transcript of the conversation is here, you can take it back and have a look first, the No. 13 is Ji Congyun, but Xiao Suzhen may really not survive this time, Chen Yongming should meet me several times in the next few days, Whether you can get in touch with their real internal experimental environment, and then completely destroy those hidden dangers will depend on these few days."

"Well, thank you for your hard work... and that girl named Zhang Ting, I asked Zong Mingyuan to send over your personal money and some compensation, and you should take it easy."

Hearing what Xiao Ao said, the movements of his hands stopped for a while, Jiang Shanglu sighed for a long time, then frowned a little irritably and said,

"What's the use of such a small amount of money? The couple worked so hard to raise such a flower-like girl, and I ruined it so casually."

"It can't be helped, it's also difficult for you to do this, so don't think about it anymore, Xiao Lu, it's enough for you to believe in who you are, and for the people you love to believe in what you are , in the eyes of your deceased family members, and in the eyes of Ah Ying, you are worth cherishing and protecting, don't ruin yourself casually, treat yourself a little better, you know?"

Xiao Ao said so, Jiang Shanglu nodded after a long time to show that he heard it, and when he was in a better mood, Xiao Ao looked at the old dark red scars on his cheeks and asked uncomfortably,

"When this time is over, when will you go to Medog with me again? It's not a problem if you always look so hurt..."

"Wen Ying said that he will help me get rid of it next time, so there is no rush." ​​Jiang Shanglu, who didn't care about these at all, also replied casually.

"That's fine. Anyway, that kid has plenty of ways. He went back to Xiaoshan this time and lost my people again. I'll never know what he wants to do next... He never trusts anyone. Believe in him, I still remember when he was in high school, I couldn’t help but secretly wanted to find someone to help me check his recent situation, but he actually took the people who followed him all the way to the gate of the police station, really It's best not to mess with the boring gourd..."

"Aren't you the same as him? Just believe in yourself. Is Wenying about the sacred tree or I happened to meet them in Oroqen and asked Tang Zong personally. Otherwise, when are you going to keep it from me?"

Being exposed by Jiang Shanglu so directly, he touched his nose in embarrassment. Xiao Ao knew that he had a bad temper and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only explain to him as nicely as possible,

"I didn't expect that you two would meet again. I was afraid that you would be unwell and I always thought he would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't dare to mention it, and I was also in Cangqing for three months. After that, I was able to confirm that Xiaoying really awakened the genes of the sacred tree because of your accident... To be honest, I also have selfish intentions. I am afraid that it will be bad for you two to get together again, but you have been insisting so long. I can't help it, but we can't explain it too clearly to him now, after all, our position is indeed different from his position..."

"...Understood, I won't tell him that his grandfather, who passed away more than ten years ago, is still in good health and can occasionally go to the square dance with the old ladies."

Feeling that Xiao Ao was beating himself vaguely in his words again, Jiang Shanglu, who was already used to his way of doing things, was too lazy to talk to him, so he continued to drink tea after pulling the corners of his mouth, and picked up his chopsticks when he saw this He also put a siu mai for Jiang Shanglu and put it in his bowl, Xiao Ao smiled kindly at him and said,

"Eat another one. Why do you eat like a cat? You are so tall and thin. You are in your thirties and you don't take care of your body. What should you do when you get old?"

"...Can you stop reminding me that I'm already in my thirties and I'm getting old quickly, and I'm under a lot of pressure when your grandson is so young and prosperous."

Jiang Shanglu looked at him with such a gloomy expression, inexplicably wanted to laugh, knowing that he looked calm and steady on the surface, but in fact, Xiao Ao, who cared most about this matter in his heart, quickly comforted him and apologized. After thinking about it, he still looked old authentically,

"No, no, you two are only seven years apart. What's the matter, two and a half big gold bricks, and although our two families have completely cut off contact because of taking care of me on the surface, but speaking of it, they are family friends. , you and Aying met when we were young, so it can be regarded as a fate destined by heaven..."

"When did I... meet Wen Ying again?"

It was obviously a little surprised to be mentioned so suddenly by Xiao Ao, and Jiang Shanglu was also a little surprised when he asked Xiao Ao in such a puzzled tone, then looked at the man and said with a strange expression,

"Don't you remember? I used to think that you two would be together because you still remember seeing Aying when you were a child... Probably when you were seventeen? In the first half of the year when you were not sick , I was talking to your dad in the study that day, and Xiaoying refused to come up so I put him in your garden. You seemed to be going out to play with your classmates, so you didn’t come into the study, so I didn’t see you either. I heard from your mother that you played with Aying in the garden for a while..."

Xiao Ao's words made it seem like he was suddenly touched on a corner of his mind that he had been ignoring all along. He and Xiao Ao were very busy before, so they rarely took the initiative to talk about Wen Ying. It was as deep as today. It is even rarer, but after tilting his head pensively and thinking for a while, he finally confirmed that he also had some impression of this incident. Jiang Shanglu was in a complicated mood after a long time, looking at Xiao Ao, he couldn't help asking,

"That child...is Wen Ying?"

"That's right, his mother worked overtime that day, so I picked him up and took him to the hospital for an injection. He had a cold and kept sneezing secretly. Your father happened to ask me to come over, so I took him to your house by the way. Then on the way home, Ah Ying was holding the gadget you gave him in a daze, the two of you probably didn't remember it later..."

When Jiang Shanglu leisurely returned to his home in Liutiao Hutong with the packed siu mai, Jiang Shanglu was still thinking about the last words Xiao Ao said to him.

When he walked into the house, Poinsettia and Deng Tao were waiting for him in the yard. Seeing that someone who had not come home at night finally knew he was back, the two children first came up together and sniffed his collar furtively. Holding back her joy, Miss Xiaotao put her hips on her waist and stared at him angrily, and said,

"Be honest with me, do you know? Don't think that you can do whatever you want without Wen Ying's presence. We all took his favor to supervise you!"

"Oh? What benefits have you received? Secretly tell me..."

Handing the breakfast in her hand to the poinsettia who was giggling next to her, she took the baby girl's hand and asked again. Deng Tao turned her mouth up and ignored him, and ran straight out of his arms. Poppy sparrow that flew back was hugged and handed to him.

"I won't tell you, hmph, I went to knit a scarf for my aunt... and this, the letter that was delivered in the morning, hide it yourself and read it quickly, this time I will show mercy and not hide it."

Being so run on by children, Jiang Shanglu almost had to reflect on his prestige in this family. Unfortunately, Wen Ying's letter was indeed more attractive to him, so he took the things and put the poppy, who seemed to have gained a lot recently After feeding some food in front of the house, he went back to his room to lie lazily on the bed, and read the letter seriously.

【I have returned to Xiaoshan, and everything is going well. 】

[I have found a suitable water area for the lotus, but you may have to wait for me for a few more days. There is a little unplanned change, but it is not a big deal. 】

[Pay attention to rest, don't always worry too much about other people's affairs, think more about yourself. 】

[In addition, I met an orange tree in the mountains today, and the tree told me that although it is wild, the fruit it bears is very sweet. 】

[I think you should like it, so I asked him about the time of the result, and he said it was in autumn. 】

[Although I know it’s a bit early to say this, I still think we can come here every year in the future, about half a month in advance, and then sit here and slowly wait for the oranges to ripen. 】

【I'll pick it for you, you don't have to do anything, just sit under the tree and eat, then we can think about living like this for the rest of our lives. 】

【Wen Ying】

Seeing the last sentence, he laughed without knowing what was going on. Jiang Shanglu didn't expect that Wen Ying, who had always been reserved, would suddenly say such love words to himself, but to be honest, he was indeed a little moved.

And Uncle Jiang, who would be very happy every time he met his young man who said something nice and serious, just thought about it for a while, and it took a long time before he put the letter carefully under the pillow, and turned over in such a good mood Fell asleep.

It's just that today's dream was a bit long and far away, and it even drifted to many, many years ago in a trance.

……

"Don't go in yet, our dad is meeting guests in the study..."

Someone slapped his head from behind, with a thick original document in his arm, the boy who was about to open the door to enter the study turned his head, and then saw his elder brother Jiang Shangyong looking at him helplessly from behind.

"Who, the door is still closed in broad daylight, so you can send it in for me, bro? I have to go out with my classmates later..."

"I don't know him either. I heard that he is a botanist. He hasn't come back for many years. He lives in the mountains all day long. His grandson seems to have been bullied at the original school. Now he wants to transfer to another school, so I want to ask Ask Dad if he can transfer to Shuhua's school... But why did you get together with that kid who used to be a gangster again? Where do you two have so many common topics? Where are you two going to play? Is there enough money?"

Being raped by his thick-skinned baby brother, Jiang Shangyong, who has reached middle age, took the book in his hand and let him and himself mess around with him here, but when he saw that his elder brother Having exposed it, the clever and very likable boy just nodded with a smile, then hugged his arm and deliberately started to play rascally,

"Young Master Jiang, if you have something in your body now, it would be even better if you can help me, but I can guarantee that Yong Jinnian is different from his parents. He is very rooted and young, and he still wants to go to university to join the party in the future." Woolen cloth……"

"Fuck you, give me the money and get out of here."

Hearing this kid's nonsense, he laughed angrily. Jiang Shangyong took out his ID card from his wallet, and casually gave all the money in it to the unlucky kid.

And Le De immediately cheered, "I love you to death, brother, who happened to be 17 years old this year, and the second young master Jiang who was living a carefree life ran all the way down from the third floor. First, he was busy in the kitchen. My mother reluctantly taught me a lesson, and then squatted on the edge of the entrance and began to change shoes and prepare to go out.

"What are you planning to come back tonight?"

With a soft southern accent, Jiang's mother asked him a question with a smile.

"I won't come back for dinner, my classmate said he invited me."

Squatting on the edge of the shoe cabinet to string the shoelaces on his sneakers for himself, Jiang Shanglu, who was so wild-minded because of his young age, said so without even raising his head.

"Someone has no luck. Aunt Fang Qin made a good soup today."

Another woman who was busy in the kitchen at the moment also followed Jiang's mother with a smile.

"Then when I come back from supper to drink, I promise to drink it all by myself."

Especially when he started to make a promise, Jiang Shanglu, who had his head down, hadn't finished speaking, he felt as if something heavy was lying on his back.

But at the moment he squinted his eyes and smiled, he put on his shoes and carried the little fat man on his back, then deliberately turned his head to look at the child lying on his back and said,

"Qing Tuo, what are you doing, don't you see that Second Uncle is going out?"

"Grandma! Second Uncle called me weight again! Come here and beat him!"

As soon as he heard that his second uncle was making fun of him casually again, the little fat man Jiang Shuhua squished his mouth and quickly got off his back, and made a gesture to go to the kitchen to complain. Jiang Shanglu stretched out his hand to grab the little fat man back, then tore two pieces of homework paper from his bag, and coaxed him softly while laughing,

"Hush, the second uncle will give you a frog, okay? Isn't it good to say before, we are not allowed to cry casually, and we should not call my mother to hit me."

"Hey, okay, then I won't cry, second uncle, I want a frog."

The particularly easy-to-coax little weight was tricked into obedience by a paper frog, and when he got it, he croaked his second uncle three times in a particularly cooperative manner, and pinched his chubby face from left to right to trick him upstairs Going to play by himself, Jiang Shanglu with his bag on his back looked down at the time and was about to go out when he heard his mother shout at him from inside.

"Xiao Lu, when you go out, help me to see the child in the garden. It's the grandson of your father's friend's family. He seems to be sick and uncomfortable today. Be careful when talking to him, that child is very shy."

"Oh, yes, I see, Mom."

Hearing what his mother said, when Jiang Shanglu went out, he turned to his own garden. There were many hydrangeas planted in their garden, which happened to bloom very beautifully in this season. The clusters of white petals looked like flowers from a distance. Fresh and clean like an oil painting.

It's just that the child who was supposed to sit and play by himself in the garden, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched, and it took a long time for Jiang Shanglu to find that the child was actually sleepy in the flower field with a small child on his back. The schoolbag fell asleep directly, and he almost completely ignored the unopened body curled up in the depths of the hydrangea.

But since he was already asleep, he couldn't wake him up casually. Thinking of this, Jiang Shanglu wanted to go up quietly, planning to pick him up and send him to the house without disturbing him. go.

But when he came to the child's side and was about to kneel down on one knee and pick him up again, Jiang Shanglu, who saw his sleeping face clearly for a moment, suddenly hesitated.

Under the white hydrangea flower stand, the child's sleeping face looked innocent and cute, and his sleeping posture was very cute, as if it would be a great sin for others to disturb him.

This was the first time in Jiang Shanglu's life that he felt that it was impolite to disturb a child's sleep, so he just carefully withdrew his hand, but after a while he still couldn't help squatting beside the child, looking at him while suppressing a smile.

But Jiang Ershao looked at it like a national treasure giant panda, and he actually forgot Yong Jinnian who was still waiting for him to go out to play with him at the door.

And it wasn't until the irritable classmate Yong Jinnian couldn't bear to ring the doorbell at the door to remind him, Jiang Shanglu woke up suddenly, touched his nose and quickly stood up, after thinking about it, he took off his sports jacket and covered him On his body, he folded a paper frog and placed it next to the child's head, and then left lightly.

"Jiang Shanglu, what the hell were you doing at home just now?"

On this day, Yong Jinnian, who was particularly upset because of his unpunctual behavior, asked in such a rough voice.

"Old Yong, let me tell you, I just saw a very playful child who sleeps with his mouth closed. I thought that all the children in the world sleep with their mouths open like Shu Hua, so it's not so haha Haha so cute."

Thinking of the appearance of the child sleeping in the flowers just now, Jiang Shanglu, who had a strange smile since he was a child, couldn't help laughing while sitting in the back seat of his good buddy's car.

On the other end, the child he had been talking about all the way, that is, Wen Ying, who was only ten years old this year, also happened to sneezed and slowly woke up from the flowers.

After realizing that there seemed to be a stranger's coat on his body, he frowned suspiciously, then turned his head and found a small paper frog was also placed very close to his head .

Today, Wen Ying, who has been feeling very uncomfortable because of illness, suddenly fell silent, and finally took the paper frog silently, held it firmly in her hand, closed her eyes again and said weakly sentence……

Thank you.
