Dressed as a top-notch stand-in for the president

Before Meng Rendong could figure out the correct answer to this question, Ji Yu's next question about death had arrived:

"...Do you have any news about her?"

Meng Rendong didn't say a word.

However, Ji Yu had already found the answer she wanted from her short silence. She rubbed up from the camp bed a little bit, and pushed down the quilt, as if struggling to get up from above. She has suppressed the sequelae of those choking water, and now she is thinking about it, and there is only one person left.

Hearing the commotion in the bed, Meng Rendong quickly turned around and saw Ji Yu's indifferent attitude, as if she would go there without hesitation as long as she told the address, even if it was the remotest corners of the world. pole.

It was strange that she was a little jealous of herself a few years ago.

"okay--"

Meng Rendong raised his hand and pressed Ji Yu's shoulder back again, his long and straight eyelashes drooped, covering the thoughts in his dark eyes, Meng Rendong's cheeks tightened, and he still spoke the truth:

"Yes, I found your friend."

Ji Yu didn't care about the avoidance of her before, and grabbed her wrist, the unprecedented expectations burst out in the peach blossom eyes, and those expectations seemed to suddenly rise into the night sky and dispel the light of the night, almost making her face pale. Uncharacteristically more beautiful, people can't take their eyes off.

In the previous four years, Ji Yu's quietness, obedience, and submissiveness had already left a habitual impression on Meng Rendong, so that seeing Ji Yu like this suddenly made her feel strange and familiar.

What followed was a heartache.

After learning all the truth, Meng Rendong looked at Ji Yu, who was disturbed by the "Si Tian" incident and changed his temperament, and could no longer simply hold the unconvinced or jealous feelings like before...

She felt bad.

Ji Yu doesn't remember what happened before the age of 16, so she wakes up after falling into the water, in a different world, unable to feel the love from relatives and friends, like duckweed without roots and soil, falling into the water with the wind blowing. Wherever you go, you can only hold on tightly, even on the edge of a cliff.

"Si Tian" played an overly important role in her life in the three years after she lost her memory.

Regardless of whether Meng Rendong was intentional or unintentional at the time, Ji Yu had already formed a deep dependence on her when neither of them expected it, and because of the death of "Si Tian" later, this person was in Ji Yu's heart. Leave a strong and colorful stroke, no matter who she meets later or what stories happen, Ji Yu will never forget her again.

But she wasn't supposed to be like this.

If she hadn’t gone to that resort with her friends at the age of 16, and hadn’t insisted on sitting by the lake with her sister to fish in the scorching sun afternoon, what would she look like now?

...Unfortunately, there is no if.

Meng Rendong can only vaguely imagine Chu Jianyu's high-spirited 23-year-old, but the girl who could grow into such a confident and flamboyant girl drowned by the lake at the homestay when she was 16 years old.

The one who survived became Ji Yu.

Amnesia will always have an indelible impact on people. Due to the blank memory of 16 years, Ji Yu woke up in the hospital at that time, mostly in silence. A person who is not good at words has turned into a small chatterbox abruptly.

At first Ji Yu was indifferent to the jokes she made out of the cold humor of the Internet, only occasionally when she heard her tell her life story in a disguised form, she would be slightly moved, but Meng Rendong didn't want to see her always seeming silent. Like my sculptures, I sit there most of the time.

At that time, Meng Rendong didn't want to watch the light that once illuminated her go out like this, so she looked at the gradually extinguished sky light and racked her brains to restart the dawn. She tried to make a fire, catch fireflies, and even create a sun……

Ji Yu thought that "Si Tian" was also emitting light.

It's not actually—

Just like human beings see the moon after seeing the sun, they think that they are evenly matched in the sky, except that one controls the day and the other controls the night. However, the fact is that the light of the bright moon that lights up the night sky is the sun that shines on it billions of light years ago. light on it.

Chu Jianyu is the tomorrow hanging high in the sky, while Meng Rendong is just the moon.

Later Ji Yu felt the residual warmth from her body, thinking that this was the brightest and warmest light in the world, but in fact, it was only a small trace left by Chu Jianyu in Meng Rendong's life.

And Meng Rendong looked at the little sun in front of her who had forgotten how to shine. The brilliance of Chu Jianyu in the past was only remnant in her memory, and she could no longer look back, but she didn't feel regret, but heartache.

In fact, she didn't expect Ji Yu to turn back to Chu Jianyu.

As long as this person can live in peace and happiness, no matter which world he is in...

But why do people always want to hurt her again and again?

……

Once some words are uttered, the shackles in the heart are released, and there is a feeling of relief, no matter what happens next, you can calmly deal with it.

Ji Yu held Meng Rendong's wrist, struggling for a long time with too many unanswered words between his lips and teeth, but the first thing he uttered was:

"...She, how is she doing?"

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ji Yu still felt that it was wrong to treat him extremely harshly. What if Meng Rendong just accidentally learned about Si Tian's recent situation?Wasn't she asking in vain?

What's more, I didn't intend to let Meng Rendong help to learn about Si Tian's news, but now I'm in a mess, which is somewhat against the principle.

Ji Yu gradually calmed down, and when she let go, she realized that Meng Rendong's wrist was reddened because of the lack of strength in her hands. The already slender wrist, the rounded wrist bones and even the white skin covered it up. Can't help it, it's slightly raised, it looks thinner than before, and the redness on it is more obvious.

She belatedly wanted to find something to make up for, and Meng Rendong's answer continued at this moment:

"……good."

Ji Yu raised her head suddenly, thinking that she had heard wrongly, Meng Rendong stared into her eyes, and stood condescendingly by the bed, but because she deliberately restrained her momentum in front of Ji Yu, her attitude turned out to be uncommonly peaceful.

She repeated her answer again.

Finally, Ji Yu realized that the person he had been looking for for a long time and tried to reunite with was actually found by Meng Rendong first.

Ji Yu's heart was blocked for a while, and he couldn't say why. He obviously knew about Si Tian's news, but when he learned about it from Meng Rendong, he always felt that something was wrong...

Is it the sequelae of her falling into the water just now?

She looked at Meng Rendong's eyes with a trace of inquiry, and when she looked at each other, her mind seemed to be churning mud. Her instinct told her that Meng Rendong's reaction was too abnormal, but her reason was delayed. Going online, the whole person is like a half-wound-up machine, half awake and half sinking.

After a while, Ji Yu replied dryly: "That, that's good."

Meng Rendong guessed her plan.

As if wanting to see this person's mind more clearly so that he could make a judgment for himself, Meng Rendong put one hand on the edge of the already narrow and hard bed, and when he leaned over, the long-lost scent of eau de parfum poured into Ji The tip of Yu's nose let her regain her sense of smell from the almost numbing smell of disinfectant in the swimming pool.

In the imperceptibly shortened distance, Ji Yu heard her natural and cold voice trickle into her ears little by little:

"You want to find her?"

Ji Yu didn't want to reveal her thoughts in front of this person.

But maybe some water got into her mind, or maybe it was because she had been looking for Si Tian for too long, and passing by him several times made her unable to restrain her emotions anymore, like a fallen leaf obsessed with returning to her roots , Ji Yu could no longer control her thoughts, she nodded slightly, no matter how small her movements were, Meng Rendong could see her.

next moment.

Ji Yu heard Meng Rendong making a sound that sounded like a sigh.

She moved her eyelids, met Meng Rendong's eyes at a close distance, and saw that this face with slightly sharp features was so close to her, as if their breaths could be entwined.

It was Meng Rendong who retreated a little first.

"Are you sure you want to see her? I'm afraid you will regret it."

Ji Yu heard her say this.

This time, the anomaly in Meng Rendong's words was even more difficult for Ji Yu to ignore.

She seemed to have predicted that something bad would happen to her meeting with Si Tian, ​​so she would definitely regret it.

But Meng Rendong clearly said that Si Tian's life was okay——

So what else is there for Ji Yu to hesitate?

Ji Yu suppressed the messy worries in her mind, managed to maintain her calm, and once again used her hoarse to slightly painful voice to talk to Meng Rendong:

"What does Boss Meng mean by that?"

But Meng Rendong couldn't explain it in more detail. She moved her attention away, as if she no longer cared about Ji Yu's reaction after learning the truth, and instead raised her hand to gently touch Ji Yu's neck, asking: " Does it hurt? Does drinking hot water also irritate it? I’ll ask the doctor here to see if there are other medicines.”

But Ji Yu didn't want her to turn her attention lightly after bringing up the topic she cared most about.

It seemed that Meng Rendong and Si Tian had reached an agreement, but she was the only one kept in the dark.

Ji Yu couldn't help feeling a little panicked by this thought.

She stopped the person who wanted to leave again:

"Meng Rendong."

Obviously no longer commensurate with her position, but Meng Rendong heard a more ruthless meaning than "Mr. Meng" from her calling, and she didn't know what the illusion was.

As Ji Yu wished, she once again delayed the pace of leaving.

Then, looking at the snow-white sheet covering Ji Yu's body, somehow she suddenly thought of the long white cloth that covered Chu Jianyu's body seven years ago, and she realized that she really hated this color.

Too much of an eyesore.

But she didn't show it, she just pursed her lips, and after a long time, said softly:

"Ji Yu."

"This is the last time I will ask you this question. In the past four years, have you ever liked me for even a moment?"

Ji Yu was stopped by her question.

There was that blank silence again in the room.

She subconsciously turned her eyes away, looked at the floor under the bed, and saw that one of the old tiles was cracked, and the cracks were crooked, but it affected the beauty of the whole tile.

Meng Rendong heard her say: "What's the point of asking such a question now? I thought you already knew the answer."

really.

A helpless and bitter smile appeared on the corners of Meng Rendong's lips.

She said yes."

She already knew the answer.

In the past four years, Ji Yu has never loved her, not even the slightest affection, because her performance is so bad that anyone who has ever known her well after hearing the story of these four years , and no one can argue for her.

But because of that—

Meng Rendong thought.

After learning the truth, what kind of complicated emotions will Ji Yu have towards her?Is it love or hate?Or is it the disgust that you never want to see again in your life?

She sighed again.

Afterwards, she said, "After the next performance, the winner will have the opportunity to shoot a variety show outside. It's a travel variety show. You can get in touch with ordinary people and get a mobile phone—"

"If you can get the quota, the program team can no longer restrict your going out."

"At that time, I will help you notify her and let you meet."

Facing Ji Yu's suspicious and confused gaze, Meng Rendong smiled again, raised his hand to touch her face, but retracted it from her sight, and said to Ji Yu:

"... From now on, if you want to hate me, hate me, you can do whatever you want."

"I found that all I expect from you is peace. As long as you never put yourself in danger again, no matter what you want, I will give it to you."

I used to want to regain your love, to clear up the misunderstanding with you, to hide it with painstaking efforts, or to use a tactful way to make you accept me, but now I realize that I just want you to be safe ,Live well.

Love me or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

As long as I love you.

Meng Rendong silently filled in the last paragraph in his heart.
