mouth of truth

I wonder if one day is enough for him to calm down and listen to him?

Zhang Yuen wasn't sure, but he knew he had to go see him, at least explain the matter clearly before leaving.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he walked into the lobby of the building, he was immediately stopped by the community secretary standing behind the counter.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Miss Wang? Is there something wrong?"

"That..." Secretary Wang rolled his eyes and hesitated for a long time, thinking hard about how to speak.

Zhang Yuen looked at her troubled expression, and thought about it, maybe—"Let me guess, Mr. Xi, if you see me, give me the things—I think it should be my luggage—and get back the key. And please tell me that I am not allowed to come here again—is that right?” The experience of being driven out made him make the above inferences.

"How do you know...it's...uh, it's not..."

Zhang Yuen raised his eyebrows, "No?"

"Mr. Xi didn't give us the keys... Yesterday Mr. Xi ordered us to ask a locksmith to change the locks..."

"Well, you can keep the key as a souvenir." Zhang Yuen said with a smile. "Please give me what Mr. Xi told you."

"Uh, good." Secretary Wang turned around, and suddenly turned back again. "Did you quarrel with Mr. Xi?"

"No, it's just that the bad things I did were discovered." Seeing the other party gasp, Zhang Yuen laughed out loud, and continued: "I'm just kidding. I was originally a boarding house, so I asked him to help me pack my luggage because I was busy..."

Even the secretary of the community who only had nodding acquaintances when he went in and out of the building on weekdays could not be fooled by such indecent lies. Instead, the other party showed a sympathetic look, which made Zhang Yuen very embarrassed.

Quickly changed the subject: "Where are my things?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll get it for you." After Secretary Wang finished speaking, he immediately walked to the locker room, and went back after a while, with a sports canvas bag in his hand. "Mr. Zhang, your luggage... is that all?" I couldn't help being concerned, I always felt a little pitiful to be kicked out like this.

"Yes." Zhang Yuen took it and turned to leave.

"Aren't you going to check? Maybe there's something left upstairs." She tried to help find an excuse to let him go upstairs.

"No, it's nothing important even if you have it, thank you." Zhang Yuen put the bag on his shoulders, thanked the secretary again, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly thought of something and turned back to the counter. "Miss Wang, can I leave a note, please pass it on to Mr. Xi for me?"

"Uh, yes, yes." Seemingly taken aback by his eagerness, Secretary Wang replied in astonishment, while taking out a message note and pen, and attaching the envelope more considerately.

Zhang Yuen hurriedly wrote a few lines, folded the seal and was about to hand it out, when he stopped halfway.

"Mr. Zhang?"

"No need." He withdrew his hand, crumpled the envelope and put it in his pocket, thanked him again and turned to leave.

Before reaching the door, the guard had already opened the door first.

He looked up in surprise, thinking that the guard's movements were really fast, only to realize that it was because someone came in from outside.

He froze and was almost hit by the man who rushed in.

"Sorry." The man who came in stopped in time and apologized politely.

"Don't mind," he said.

The two of them each took half a step to the right, giving way to pass each other.

Zhang Yuen walked out of the gate and walked a few more steps before he dared to take a breath.

The man was the same—no, better than ever.The man who used to always frown and look melancholy no longer looked preoccupied, as if he had gotten rid of something, and looked much more relaxed.

It seems that he is doing well, Zhang Yuen thought to himself, happy with this discovery.

"Great..." It was great for him to come and accompany him.

I only found out yesterday, and I rushed back to Taiwan to find him today. It seems that the friendship between the two of them is really good, so I can rest assured that I have him by my side—the one I once loved, the one I love now...

It's over, everything is over... Taking a deep breath, shaking his head, and stretching, Zhang Yuen raised his head and let the sun shine on his face. The summer sun in July unexpectedly made him feel warm instead of hot.

The weather is great, it's great.

Brother Feng Yu agreed to receive treatment, which is great.

Zhirui seems to be doing well, great.

He... With Ningning and Zhirui by his side, he will get better and better, it's great!People are busy with things or have someone to accompany them, which can distract them, and they will be less likely to fall into negative emotions, and life will be easier, a psychologist once said.

"That's great, it's really..." Zhang Yuen laughed as he swallowed the lump stuck in his throat.

Everything is great, and he can completely let go of the past and start living his life again.

It's so good, so good...

Tong Zhirui hurriedly stopped in front of the counter: "Hi, my name is Tong, Tong Zhirui, I'm looking for Xi Jinxun in Block A on the [-]th floor."

The community secretary stood up and said, "Please wait a moment." After speaking, he lowered his head and dialed to complete the notification confirmation process.

While waiting, Tong Zhirui looked at his watch several times. To someone who was in a hurry, even if he was only asked to wait for 1 minute, it would feel like a long time.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at the door. His wandering eyes seemed to be looking for something. The strange thing was that he realized what he was doing but didn't know what he was looking for, and why he did it.strangeness……

"Mr. Tong, it has been confirmed, please go upstairs."

He came back to his senses and saw the district secretary raising his hand to indicate that the elevator was on his left.

"thanks."

Without thinking about it, Tong Zhirui hurried to the elevator.

It was just a daze just now, he made a conclusion for his gaffe.

After all, he had been on an eighteen-hour plane and hadn't slept for almost a whole day, so how could he not be tired.

"I thought you never planned to step into Taiwan in your life." Xi Jinxun's wheelchair moved back to make way for Tong Zhirui to enter. The wheelchair turned around and moved to the living room.

"That's what I planned," Tong Zhirui said, closing the door and following into the living room. "If it wasn't for what you said on the phone that you found Li Yang——"

"Uncle Rui!" Hearing a familiar voice in the room, Xi Youning rushed out, saw Tong Zhirui, and jumped at him excitedly. "You flew over from the United States! Where's the present? Where's someone's gift? Cryorpresent!"

Tong Zhirui was stunned for a moment, worried that it would be inconvenient to talk if there were children present, so he had to give up for the time being and deal with the witch girl first. "It's trickortreat, little girl. Halloween isn't here yet."

"It doesn't matter, gift, gift, if you don't give it, people will cry for you. You won't forget to bring gifts to others..." The small face was full of grievances.

"How could I forget, not only mine, but even Grandma and Aunt Ying brought it here for you." He said as he unpacked the temporary luggage and searched for the ones that had been prepared in the United States and were expected to be sent to the child. Gift. "Why didn't Ningning go to school today?"

"I don't know." The little girl shrugged while watching the adults looking for gifts. "Brother Zhang is not at home, and no one took me to school. Uncle told me to ask for leave today and go to school tomorrow——Uncle Rui, have you found it?"

"You girl..." Isn't Zhang Yuen here?Tong Zhirui suppressed his doubts first, and then took out the gift and handed it to the child. "Here, your gift."

"It's not too bad." The little girl wrinkled her nose, "Then I'll let you go." Satisfied, the little bandit went back to the room to play with the gift.

After confirming that she was going back to the room, the two adults turned to the study.

After Tong Zhirui closed the door of the study, he turned around and lost his relaxed expression.

He leaned against the table and asked, "Is Zhang Yuen here?"

"left already."

Walk? "You mean he left?" Tong Zhirui's voice became more excited. "You let him go?"

"You don't want to go find him yourself."

Reluctant, reluctant? "Why should I be reluctant?" I don't understand. "Xun, do you know what you're talking about?"

"I return this sentence to you. Li Yang is your business, not mine. I have no obligation and it is impossible to keep him."

"What does this have to do with Li Yang?" Tong Zhirui was extremely confused. "I don't understand, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't it because of him that you came back to Taiwan?" Seeing him nodding, the anger that had been smoldering all night became more intense. He gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to curse, and said coldly, "Then why are you pretending to be foolish?"

"I'm so confused. I'm coming back for him, I want to see him—"

"He has already left," Xi Jinxun said impatiently.Zhang Yuen's shaken expression suddenly appeared in his mind when he heard his old friend's name, and his anger became even hotter. "If you want to find it yourself, I have no obligation to help you keep someone!"

Again, he couldn't understand it without beginning or end.

Is it because he is too tired from the plane or is there really something wrong with the old friend's way of speaking, which has caused a serious generation gap between them?

"Let me figure it out first, who left? Who do you want to keep?"

Xi Jinxun pursed his lips until Tong Zhirui asked again: "Your Li Yang."

My—"Wait a minute, I thought it was Zhang Yuen who left."

"...Zhang Yuen is Li Yang."

"What!?" Tong Zhirui stood up abruptly, with a flash in front of his eyes, he felt as if he was about to faint, so he quickly leaned back to the table to support himself. "My God... How is this possible... It's not like you don't know what Li Yang looks like, so how could you not recognize him?"

"Integer..."

"what?"

"Integer." Exported again, Xi Jinxun said more definitely.He remembered a conversation between Zhang Yuen and Ningning, and his face became more gloomy. "Damn it! He actually got plastic surgery to get close to me! Li Chengfeng must have sent him—"

"Impossible." Tong Zhirui interrupted him abruptly. "Don't associate him with the Li family."

"Why not? He is Li Yuanzhong's son and Li Chengfeng's younger brother, what can't they do for money? How can they do this—"

"He was kicked out of Li's house! Because of our damn stupid revenge plan, he was kicked out of Li's house five years ago!" Tong Zhirui yelled, unable to stand him vilifying Li Yang in front of him. "You should be very clear, if Li Chengfeng knew that you were not dead, you would never have survived to this day!"

Furthermore, if Zhang Yuen is really Li Yang... Tong Zhirui covered his face with his hands, and his voice came out from between his fingers: "Please, don't say that about him anymore... I beg you..."

His tired voice made Xi Jinxun calm down a little, and he said in a tense voice, "I will send someone to investigate his purpose of approaching me. If it is what I think, don't blame me."

Tong Zhirui covered his face and shook his head, "Impossible...absolutely impossible..."

"Facts will prove everything." Xi Jinxun sent himself to the computer and turned on the power. Now he just wants to find out the truth of the matter, and then think about how to retaliate.

He won't let him go—

"You don't understand him..." Tong Zhirui's murmur-like voice sounded behind him.

The moving mouse suddenly stopped moving.

Tong Zhirui looked up and saw the words "○○ Credit Investigation" on the computer screen, and immediately felt that it was ridiculous. "How long has he been by your side? Almost half a year, right? Why do you not know him so well..." At this moment, he almost hated this old friend, hated why he had Li Yang for so long but didn't know him!

For a moment, Tong Zhirui wanted to yell at his old friend who turned his back, telling him, "He is the one you are looking for! He was the one who saved you four years ago!", to let him know that his eyes blinded by hatred have something to do with him. Nothing!Let him know how ungrateful he is, how gracious he is to avenge his revenge, and how shameless he is than the Li family father and son!

"...People's hearts are in the belly." Xi Jinxun forced himself to be cold. "Who knows what he's thinking."

Hearing the unusual stiff voice, Tong Zhirui couldn't help but look at his old friend a few more times, and noticed that the hand pressing on the mouse had blue veins hidden in it, and the hand clasped on the handlebar was the same, and the webpage was still at the position he saw just now. Pass……

It suddenly dawned on me that the person who least believed in those absurd inferences was actually the old friend himself who said it.

The ignited anger and disgust instantly turned into sympathy, and the words that I wanted to yell out to hurt him and to vent my anger for Li Yang were actually spoken in a feeble tone: "He won't harm you... although I don't know him Why approach you, but it is absolutely impossible for him to harm you."

"I didn't give him a chance." Xi Jinxun paused, then emphasized again: "I never believed in him, not from the beginning."

To whom do you repeat the words?Tong Zhirui couldn't believe that he, who has always acted decisively, would do this kind of behavior only when he was uncertain.

Suddenly, he remembered the tone of Xi Jinxun's speech during the last call. Although he deliberately suppressed it, he could still hear it. There was excitement and anticipation in that tone-like a teenager who fell in love for the first time, awkwardly trying to hide the treasure he got. Can't help but proudly want to show off to others.

I see……

"...Stop being brave, Hoon. Admit that falling in love with him is not that hard, he deserves it."

"No, I didn't." The man in the wheelchair remained stubborn.

"Don't worry, he won't harm you. If he wanted to harm you, why would he save you four years ago?"

The wheelchair turned half a circle to face him. "What did you say?"

Fu Chengye looked at the two people sitting across the table, God knows, he really wanted to stab each of them in the head.

Of course, he wouldn't let go of the pitcher plant on the next table, one cut—no, three cuts, who told her to ask the chicken woman to send these two people to him.

"Don't look at me." Instinctively sensing danger, Ah Cao pulled the chair a little further away. "I'm just a little yellow. I can only drive wherever the customers say they want to go. The economic downturn makes it difficult for little yellow to do business."

How dare you say it!The murderous light swept across, and immediately scared the talkative Xiaocao back into the chair without daring to move.

"It will be a matter of time before you are found, and you know it yourself." Xi Jinxun said, arrogantly.

He snorted, "So what?" He didn't have the kindness and patience of his younger brother, and he didn't feel that he owed these two people anything. Knowing that he was kicked out by Xi Jinxun, he felt that it was unnecessary to be polite.

Especially, after being kicked out, he hadn't looked for him in the first place!Only now did he know that his little brother was missing again!

Xi Jinxun raised the investigation report in his hand. "Fu Chengye, chief physician of the Department of Neurorehabilitation at Ferkins Medical Center—why didn't you tell me that you were the one who operated on me back then, and cleared my medical records in Ferkins?"

"Isn't it okay to be kind and not want others to know?" Fu Chengye folded his arms around his chest. "Speaking of which, why do you question me?"

"You did this to atone for the Li family?"

pound!The giant palm that is usually used to save people with a knife hit the table this time, "Damn it! It's the Li family when you open your mouth. I remember what happened a few years ago. Are you a bitch! My surname is Fu since I was born, no My surname is Li, and I have never spent a dime from the Li family, and those bullshit old stories have nothing to do with me, Xi Jinxun, listen to me, I don’t owe you anything!"

There are many things that need to be clarified, Xi Jinxun clenched his fists and swallowed the sap with a sigh of relief.

"Fu, Boss Fu, drink tea..." The real "girl" Ah Cao bravely brought tea, knowing very well that this great doctor's benevolence is limited to patients, and he is very good at venting anger in private. The first unlucky one It must be him who brought them here.

Tsk, just say that Xiao Huang's business is not doing well.

Fu Chengye gulped down a glass of water to temporarily extinguish the fire. "It's the same with Li Yang. His mother thought that if she was pregnant with him, she would be able to enter a wealthy family, but unfortunately she couldn't compete with the powerful Mrs. Li, and in the end she had to leave the child with a sum of money—do you think he, the young master of the Li family, is doing well? Ha! Tong Zhirui, you should know better than anyone else how he is doing in Li's house."

Tong Zhirui pursed his lips, turned his face away and dared not look at Fu Chengye who was still furious.

"As long as someone treats him well, he will repay him ten times and a hundred times. Li Yang—Yu En is such a person." Fu Chengye leaned back in his chair and looked at Tong Zhirui. "I still remember how happy he was when he mentioned you in the letter, and how much he looked forward to the future with you. Even I thought you would take good care of him, but I didn't expect—" His eyes turned to Xi Jinxun. "You are also part of the plan to use Yuen as a pawn."

Xi Jinxun sullenly did not answer.

Fu Chengye gave mocking applause. "You guys are really amazing, one is for father, the other is for elder brother, you came up with a series of plans, used Li Yang thoroughly, and beat Li Shihai almost to the ground, but it's a pity that some of your subordinates betrayed you for money You guys, let Li Chengfeng find you—”

"It's not that he told Li Chengfeng——"

"Are you an idiot? What could someone be doing in the hospital when it happened?"

Hospital?Xi Jinxun originally wanted to ask, but noticed that Tong Zhirui's face changed drastically.

"You didn't tell him?" Fu Chengye snorted, and disdainfully glanced at Tong Zhirui, who looked terrified, and looked at Xi Jinxun. "Forget it, this matter shouldn't be important to you, and it's pointless to say - when he came to the United States to find me, the situation was very bad, and it didn't get better until I asked a friend to find out the ins and outs of the matter and know the ins and outs of what you did. One point. Later, I accidentally learned that Li Chengfeng hired someone to kill you across the sea, and he begged me to save you, saying that he was obliged to atone for the Li family—how stupid, who did he think he was? What was even more stupid was that I was persuaded by him , find a way to investigate the whereabouts of the killer until that day—hey, where is the water?" Fingertips tapped on the table.

Ah Cao at the next table suddenly jumped up, poured tea and water quickly, and sat back down.

After drinking half a glass, Fu Chengye continued: "Things happened too fast, knowing that when that person was after you, it was too late to ask for help, he insisted on driving behind to prevent the worst from happening, but he didn't expect that the person hired by Li Chengfeng The killer, who had been spotted by the FBI for a long time, followed by the car accident. After the first explosion, he immediately rushed to drag you out of the car. When the second explosion occurred, he used himself as a shield to protect you— —As a result, you should have guessed it, you have been paralyzed for more than a year, and you are the most difficult patient I have ever dealt with; as for him, in order to save you and get yourself disabled, he volunteered to be your nurse and talked to you to make sure You are sober, and you only want to atone for the Li family—I couldn’t see it, so I persuaded him to transfer you with plastic surgery, and at the same time secretly transferred you to the New York State Hospital to erase your record in Ferkins, so that he could not find it. When it comes to you, don’t think about the bullshit of atonement, no matter how much you do, no one will appreciate it. Finally, he decided to change his name and change his surname and return to Taiwan to start a new life, but he met you again——Ma, what is this, the enemy’s road is narrow ?Damn it!"

Xi Jinxun didn't know how he left the hospital after listening to Fu Chengye's words.

Staring at the fast-moving street scene outside the car window, what Fu Chengye said to him before leaving echoed in his head.

——If you really want revenge or something, go to Li Chengfeng and Li Yuanzhong, and don't provoke him again.In order to atone for the Li family, he has already died twice, that's enough...

twice? "Why twice?" He could understand once to save him, but what was the other time for?Turning to look at Tong Zhirui. "Why did Fu Chengye say that he died twice?"

"..."

"Rui?"

"... Back then, I stopped because I found out that there was something wrong with the people I sent to Li Shi Shipping. My identity had been exposed. It would be a matter of time before I found out about you. After the incident came to light, Li Chengfeng hired people from the underworld to find me. Trouble, I have to arrange to go back to the United States, anyway, the remote control can continue to proceed... the night before returning to China, Li Yang came to see me—" Tong Zhirui looked at the car window on his side, looked at the window on the window Reflection, knowing that his old friend is waiting for him to speak.

But some things are not so easy to say.

After a few minutes of silence, he finally said, "You know that his right wrist is injured, right?" The reflection on the car window said surprise, and Tong Zhirui suddenly turned his head, more surprised than the other party. "You lived with him for so long and didn't know he had a right wrist injury!?"

"He wears a watch on his right hand and never took it off." Xi Jinxun defended himself with a distressed expression.

"Even if he hides it intentionally to keep you from knowing—such an obvious scar, you can see it if you pay attention, how could you not notice it? How did you treat him? Have you looked at him carefully and cared about him? you--"

"Enough!" Xi Jinxun yelled, angrily hitting the back of the passenger seat. "So what if you know him! Didn't you just leave him and go back to the United States, and plan not to return to Taiwan for the rest of your life, what? Afraid of hurting the scene? Afraid of admitting that you are in love with the enemy's son?"

"Scared! I'm afraid! And very scared!" Tong Zhirui didn't give in, and thumped the back of the driver's seat. "Of course I'm afraid! The son who fell in love with the enemy was blinded by hatred and refused to admit it. He insisted on using him for revenge, leaving him in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness. In the end, in order to keep me and atone for his family, he knelt in front of me and cried and begged but was rejected by me. The cynicism was pushed away, and finally the mental breakdown cut his wrist and he almost died in front of me. If it were you, would you be afraid! Shit, do you know how red the blood flowing from your wrist is? Do you know that you tasted the person you love? What is it like to see his blood! Seeing him lying in front of me, I realized that I really fell in love with him, but it was hard to get back, and I could only run away in embarrassment! Do you know! Do you know! "

Would you believe me if I said that I was bullied by my brother since I was a child, and I was kicked out because I fell in love with someone of the same sex, or someone I shouldn’t love, and because I lost face to my family?

"What he said is true?" Xi Jinxun suddenly remembered the past that Zhang Yuen had mentioned to him more than half a year ago. He thought it was just plagiarizing TV's bloody scripts and only treated it as a joke, but unexpectedly—"What he said is true of……"

"What are we doing..." After shouting out of control, Tong Zhirui regained his composure, bent down in frustration, buried his face in his hands and moaned: "What right do we have to abuse and yell at each other here... Whether it's you or me, we both It was the bastard who hurt him... Fu Chengye was right... How could we have been obsessed with using him to get revenge on the Li family? In the whole thing, he was innocent..."

"My car is also innocent." The little yellow driver in the driver's seat turned his head to look at the two men whose expressions were more bitter than bitter melons. "If you want to confess, yell at each other, or fight, please don't take your anger out on my car. Also, you are here, please get out of the car."

The passengers in the back seat seemed to have no intention of getting out of the car.

"You should know where he is." Xi Jinxun asked, looking directly at the woman he had met several times before but was not very familiar with.

"Who?"

"...Li Yang."

"Oh, you want to find him? Why? Stab him?" Ah Cao asked deliberately.

Xi Jinxun pretended to be tough to conceal his true intentions in wanting to see him. "He still owes me an explanation."

"Huh!?" Ah Cao yelled strangely, staring at Xi Jinxun in disbelief. "Did I hear you wrong? I can't believe it. You are too thick-skinned. I just heard it from the beginning to the end. I didn't think he still owed you something. It's strange for you two. Lord, why does he have to pay back what his father and brother owed you? Your story of the great prince’s revenge seems to be very exciting, but why is he the unlucky one? It’s not that he killed your father and your elder brother. Why do you ask him? It’s all for you to commit suicide, disfigurement, post upside down, and finally get kicked out, what do you want him for?”

A series of questions made the two big men extremely embarrassed, they looked at each other speechlessly, and no one refuted.

"Oh!" Ah Cao yelled again, finally knowing why her friend didn't return the rent. "So that's the case! Hey, Xi Jinxun, you don't know that he didn't cancel the rent of the apartment he used to live in after he moved into your house, do you?"

The face of the man who was hit by the rumor turned blue and white, and his embarrassment added another layer of embarrassment.

"I didn't understand it until now. It turned out that he knew that he would be kicked out by you sooner or later, so he didn't return the rent. It's really smart."

Aside from her obvious taunting, Xi Jinxun only cares about one thing.

"He moved back to his old apartment? Take me to find..."

"No, he didn't go back." Ah Cao immediately quenched his hope. "He let me live in the apartment, and I don't know where he went after he was kicked out... Even if I knew, you thought I would tell you so that you can torture him again? Enough, Boss Fu didn't It’s good enough for you to cut eight pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks. Don’t be too greedy. Get out of the car quickly. I have to go to the sports car to pick up passengers for business. , thank you for your patronage.”

Stay with me and let me protect you!

He remembered that when he said this, his face was so red that he almost couldn't catch fire, but he thought that he was a young man who was impulsive and impulsive, and said casually when he was emotional, he didn't take it seriously, and even started to take advantage of him.

There's no reason why you don't even know if the person you like likes you or not... being used or being used as a substitute——

...This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone!Well, I've always wanted to help you and Ning Ning, and besides, you are willing to accept me, which is lucky enough for me——

Why didn't you ask the reason why you hesitated to speak at that time?Why didn't he delve into the reasons why he compromised to the point of wronging and belittling himself?

——It is happiness to be able to do something for the person you like...the person you like also likes you and responds to your feelings, that is extremely luxurious happiness...

...I am very clear that this kind of thing cannot be forced, so don't take it to heart, as long as it is the same as before...

He still remembers his stunned expression when he heard that he said he would try to respond to his feelings. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it should be an unbelievable surprise and an empty response without expectations, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

——He knew that he would be kicked out by you sooner or later, so he didn't return the rent...

"I didn't have any hope from the beginning..." He murmured, feeling his throat was a little dry, and looked down at his watch.

knock knock!There were two knocks on the study door.

"Come in."

Tong Zhirui opened the door and walked in with a water glass, "You should drink water."

Xi Jinxun took it and took a few sips sparingly. "how do you know?"

"The post-it notes on the kitchen cabinets." Tong Zhirui waved lightly over twenty post-it notes, large and small, "I've seen a lot of these notes in your house these days, most of which are on the refrigerator door. This one says When you drink water and go to the bathroom, this one is your likes and dislikes, this one is carrot cooking method, written for Ningning, this one is Ningning’s school schedule, this one says wheat , black rice... it should be the recipe for some drink, this is the contact number of the temporary babysitter and the hourly maid - all written by him." After speaking, he put the stack of post-it notes on the table in front of Xi Jinxun .

Xi Jinxun stared at the stack of yellow, blue, green and pink post-it notes, which were full of words.

"There are still many things I haven't torn off, all of which are about you and Ningning, none of which have anything to do with him." Tong Zhirui pulled a chair and sat down. "At first I thought he was trying to remind me when to do something, but then I thought about what the female driver said. I don't think so."

"What's the meaning?"

"You have lived together for half a year, no matter how bad your memory is, it is impossible not to remember, especially the daily routine, there is no need for post-it notes to remind you. These are for the person who will take care of you next, and he may leave here at any time Be mentally prepared, but worry that the people who will take care of you next will not know what to do, so you will leave these sticky notes.”

"...I don't know...never noticed..."

"You don't know Li Yang, do you..." Tong Zhirui pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a bitter smile. "The Li Yang I know is very clingy, very good at acting like a baby, sometimes loses his temper but is also easy to coax, as long as he is nice to him, he can make him happy all day, my Li Yang is very kind, innocent, and very loving Smile, even if you were wronged at Li's house, you wouldn't say it in front of me." Putting his arms around his chest, after a pause, Tong Zhirui continued: "It was because of him that I used him to introduce me to Li Yuan. Zhong, let him walk into the trap we set up step by step. Later, when the Dongchuang incident happened, he came to me, and he didn’t say a single word of hatred for me. He just begged me to forgive Li Yuanzhong, and begged me to let him stay by my side... Yes I ruined him..."

Xi Jinxun closed his hot black eyes tightly, gritted his teeth so hard that his gums were numb, veins protruded from his forehead, and the post-it notes he was holding desperately in his hands were crooked and out of shape.

"...We ruined him." Opening his eyes again, Xi Jinxun said wearily. "You and I destroyed him together."

"But you still have a chance to save him. Unlike me, I dare not love him even after driving him to death."

"you love him?"

"I love him, from that day—no, I loved him earlier." Tong Zhirui nodded without hesitation. "But the person he loves now is you. I'm already in the past tense. My Li Yang has been ruined by me. Xun, I have no intention of intervening. I only hope that he can be happy, which will make me feel less guilty. Make sure he can To be happy—that's all I can do."

"He loves me..." Xi Jinxun stared blankly at the crumpled post-it notes. After a while, they spread out one by one, flattened them on the table, and arranged them neatly. "Maybe it's already in the past..."

"No. You can see how much he loves you by looking at these." Tong Zhirui didn't speak again after saying this.

The silence was so heavy that it almost overwhelmed the two of them, until Xi Jinxun broke the suffocating atmosphere by whispering to himself:

"I know how hard he is, and I also know how desperate he is, otherwise he wouldn't have written these things, and he wouldn't have returned the rent——when I was packing his luggage that night, all I could think about was that he was Li Yang , is from the Li family, he lied to me, but he never thought about why he has so little luggage..." Xi Jinxun stared at the computer screen, and the credit agency's advertisement "Internationally certified, honest and honest" is even more ironic.

Tong Zhirui was surprised when he saw the invited people.

"It's you..." The person I bumped into in the lobby of the building that day! ? "Are you Li Yang?"

"Yuen, I'm Zhang Yuen." Zhang Yuen sat opposite and ordered a cappuccino. "Li Yang has already—"

"Yes, yes..." Tong Zhirui responded shamelessly. "Yuen, can I call you that?"

Zhang Yuen nodded and smiled politely, "The more friends the better."

It's really different... Tong Zhirui found in a daze that the Li Yang in his memory was completely different from the Zhang Yuen who was sitting in front of him at the moment.

"Zhirui?" Zhang Yuen leaned forward. "are you OK?"

"I, I'm fine, I'm just a little... You're a lot worse than before... I thought Fu Chengye wouldn't help me spread the word—uh, I don't blame him, it's me——" God, what is he talking about! ?She was so incoherent in front of him! ?

"It's all over." He interrupted, and his appointment was not to talk about the past. "Although the second brother doesn't want me to come, I think it's better to meet you. If you still care about my affairs, please let go. Those are all in the past, and I'm living a very good life now."

"Very good?" Tong Zhirui looked at him, except that he was a bit haggard, but he didn't see any signs of depression. Compared with his old friend who lost his soul, he really had a good time. "You've changed a lot..."

"Yeah, even his face has changed." Zhang Yuen joked, seeing that he didn't mean to smile, he restrained himself embarrassedly. "Sorry, I just want to make you feel at ease. I'm not the same as before. I already know how to make myself better, so you should let go of the past and stop thinking about it."

"You came to see me to tell me this?" To comfort him?To persuade him to let go? "I was the one who killed..."

"The past is the past, I'm fine, and it's really fine now." Zhang Yuen patted his hand lying flat on the table. "Zhi Rui, compared to Li Yang before, I like Zhang Yuen's life now, really. So I also hope you let go of your guilt towards Li Yang, it's really unnecessary."

"You... plan to abandon Li Yang's past, and——me?"

"Didn't I just say that the more friends the better? But if you can't let go, I think it will be difficult for us to be friends."

Let go of Li Yang's past... Tong Zhirui is not an idiot, so he naturally heard the deep meaning in his words, and understood that it is really impossible for him and himself.

Even making up is impossible... The Zhang Yuen in front of him has completely let go of it. The past right and wrong, who owes whom, and who should pay whom, is no longer important to him, and all of them have been reset to zero.
