"What?!"
"The little goldfish I raised... I named it. It's called Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan died. Woohoo, will Lu Zhengyan die?"
This was the first time Jiang Jingming cried so sadly that he hiccupped from crying. Yan Nian sighed.
"You silly kid, the life of a goldfish is inherently short, but people are different. It is very common for people to live for a hundred or even two hundred years. Lu Zhengyan is still so young, he will definitely live for a long, long time."
“…”
Jiang Jingming suddenly remembered what he said to Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, you will definitely live a long time."
But Xiaoyan died in the end.
He was scared and helpless. He could only hug Yan Nian tightly and wet Yan Nian's clothes with tears.
"Mrs. Jiang..."
A deep female voice woke up Yan Nian.
Jiang Jingming let go of Yan Nian and only saw the other person's face through his tearful eyes.
She is Lu Zhengyan’s mother.
"Auntie, Lu Zhengyan will be fine, right?" Jiang Jingming stepped forward and grabbed the woman's clothes helplessly and pleadingly.
The woman knelt down and touched Jiang Jingming's face with her calloused hands, her eyes already sparkling with tears.
"Son, I know you and Zhengyan are good friends. Auntie is sorry for you. It was auntie who wanted him to have a good relationship with you, but Zhengyan has never regarded you as a relationship of interest. In his heart, you are him best friend."
"What the hell is going on?"
Yan Nian held the woman's hand, pulled her up from the ground, sat on the bench in the corridor and spoke slowly.
The woman's face was haggard and rugged, and a lot of silver hair sprouted from her head.
She explained with trembling lips that Lu Zhengyan was diagnosed with leukemia when he was three years old. It was cured at that time, but the doctor said that there is still a possibility of recurrence and that he should pay attention to follow-up visits and observation.
Not long ago, Lu Zhengyan's illness relapsed, so she took her child to another school, thinking of focusing on getting sick.
"He saw this Rubik's Cube competition and insisted on signing up. I said he couldn't be discharged from the hospital now, but he refused to listen and insisted on participating in the competition no matter what, so I agreed."
"During the preliminary round, Zhengyan was still doing well. He made it all the way to the finals. He was very happy that day. I haven't seen Zhengyan smile so happily for a long time..."
"In today's final, Zhengyan's situation was not very optimistic early in the morning. The doctor said that his blood indicators were abnormal and he needed to rest. However, Zhengyan took out the tube and secretly ran away to participate in the competition while I wasn't paying attention."
"I just saw it when I was watching the live TV broadcast. It turned out that the other contestant participating in the finals was-"
"... Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Jingming burst into tears and pulled Yan Nian's arm beside him, crying until he was out of breath.
"Mom, I don't want... Something is wrong with Lu Zhengyan. I don't want, I don't want..."
"No, definitely not."
Yan Nian hugged his son's head and patted it gently.
The friendship between the children moved her but also made her uncomfortable.
Yan Nian held the woman's withered hand and comforted her that Lu Zhengyan would be fine.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the red light in the operating room went out.
Two doctors wearing masks came out.
"sorry."
The doctor took off his mask and said weakly.
"It was sent too late. Acute leukemia was complicated by severe haemorrhage. The child's heart and kidney function failed. We... really tried our best."
Like being struck by lightning!
Lu Zhengyan's mother screamed heartbreakingly and almost fainted on the spot.
Yan Nian hurriedly supported her, and several medical staff also supported her, helping her to the ward to rest.
"Lu Zhengyan!!!"
Jiang Jingming pushed aside the group of doctors and ran in.
He saw Lu Zhengyan on the operating table, with a white sheet covering him, his eyes closed and motionless.
This is the first time Jiang Jingming has faced death, and it is also the first time that his heart can feel so painful and suffocating.
He wanted to walk over and wake Lu Zhengyan up, but he was caught by the doctor. The two doctors worked together to drag him out. He screamed Lu Zhengyan's name, and tears flowed out of his eyes like crazy.
Every moment with Lu Zhengyan came to mind, and so many memories flashed through his mind.
"I'm sorry Jingming, can you forgive me?"
"That's great if you're not angry."
These were the last words Lu Zhengyan said to him.
Jiang Jingming cried in pain.
Where is he sorry!
It's obviously him Jiang Jingming, I'm sorry Lu Zhengyan!
He misunderstood his good friend, his sincerity and his whole person!
"San'er..."
Yan Nian didn't know what to say. She had just promised her child that Lu Zhengyan would not die. Yan Nian felt uncomfortable and could only hug Jiang Jingming and wet his eyelashes with tears.
"Lu Zhengyan... Lu Zhengyan..."
This was Jiang Jingming's most painful day so far.
He could never forget that when he was participating in the competition, Lu Zhengyan smiled and said to him: Jiang Jingming, long time no see.
He could never forget the scene of him vomiting blood. His mouth was scarlet, but he felt guilty. He held his hand and said sorry to him.
He could not forget how he went from anxiety to grief and despair in the hospital today.
despair.
It turns out that the end of one life can really make another life despair to the point of general pain in the limbs.
Later, even if Jiang Jingming grew up, he would never be able to let go of this day.
This was the secret he kept deep in his heart, the pain and guilt he would never be able to talk about.
In the eyes of outsiders, it looks light and gentle, as gentle as water, but inside is the softness that has been peeled off, and this softness covers the bloody scar.
Just like the scar on Jiang Beiyuan's palm.
The scars on the palms of the hands cannot be healed, so how can the wounds in the heart be healed
He is destined to be in debt and destined to pay his debts.
This doomed his life.
… …
… …
The weather is high and the air is crisp.
Xu Kuangjie happened to come to Yan Nian's house today, and Yan Nian asked Xu Kuangjie to take his three children to kindergarten on the way.
There was a peak road ahead. Xu Kuangjie received a call from a boss asking him to sign a contract. Seeing this, he quickly left the three children on the side of the road and asked them to walk to the kindergarten on their own.
Jiang Qingchi: "Godfather, if my parents knew you left us on the roadside, they would definitely call you a bastard."
"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who knows? Well, I'm leaving, I have to make money!"
After saying that, Xu Kuangjie turned around and drove away.
Jiang Qingchi walked on the outside, letting his younger brothers and sisters walk on the inside.
Jiang Jingming: "Brother, let me go outside."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that your quarrel with your sister will affect traffic."
Jiang Qingchi: "..."
Then Jiang Qingchi walked in the innermost position, Jiang Chunhe walked in the middle, and Jiang Jingming walked on the outside.
Jiang Qingchi and Jiang Jingming were both wearing white shirts, black shorts, and black and white striped canvas shoes. They were fresh and elegant without losing their temperament.
Jiang Qingchi put his little hands in his pockets and looked around casually, with a cool posture and unruly eyebrows.
Jiang Jingming held the strap of his schoolbag and walked very calmly. He was the youngest and walked the slowest. You can tell what kind of temper a child has from a young age.
"San'er, I heard that you help your classmates with their homework?"
"No..." Jiang Jingming shook his head.
"Oh, you have such a bad temper. If someone bullies you, you must remember to tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
Jiang Jingming nodded.
Jiang Chunhe showed his displeasure.
"Brother, why didn't you ask me if I would be bullied?"
"You? Ha, you are the invincible female devil in the family. It's good if you don't bully others."
"Hmph, you are the devil, you-"
"Your whole family is a she-devil."
Jiang Qingchi filled in for his sister.
Jiang Chunhe gritted his teeth, "You are a bad guy, you know how to bully the weak, I will beat you to death!"
Even though Jiang Jingming stood on the outside, he still couldn't change the outcome of his brother and sister chasing and playing. He became the middleman, surrounded by the two people, trying to break up the fight, but both sides ignored him.
Seeing that he was about to cross the road, Jiang Jingming quickly took his sister's hand.
"Brothers and sisters, please stop making trouble. It is very dangerous to cross the road without looking at the road."
"Leave me alone!"
Jiang Chunhe brushed Jiang Jingming's hand away and ran away? Jiang Qingchi is still running
She was so angry!
"squeak-"
A large truck was speeding by, and the bright headlights made Jiang Chunhe's eyes hurt. Before the little girl could react, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
This scene happened so fast that the little girl felt like she was nailed on a nail and couldn't move.
Looking up, Jiang Chunhe saw only a handsome face under the bursting sunlight.
The boy is about 170 years old, with a fair face, handsome features, unopened eyebrows, but a confident and calm complexion. A small mole like a dot under the corner of his right eye adds a bit of mystery and charm.
It's... a handsome little brother.
The boy let go of Jiang Chunhe and didn't even look at her. He just looked at Jiang Qingchi.
Light.
"Please take care of your sister. It is dangerous for children to cross the road without looking at the road."
Jiang Qingchi's face turned pale with fright. He nodded quickly and quickly held Jiang Chunhe in his arms.
"I'm sorry, my dear sister, my brother will never joke with you again!"
If this kind man hadn't saved his sister, he wouldn't have dared to think about the consequences now!
"Thank you for saving my sister." Jiang Jingming was also scared to death, but he still said politely.
"Master—Master—"
A man in a suit ran over and looked the boy up and down.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Uncle Wang, let's go."
Jiang Jingming stared at the boy's back.
The other party looked about 10 years old, tall, thin, and very handsome.
Not only Jiang Jingming, but also Jiang Chunhe's eyes were glued to her and couldn't move. No matter how Jiang Qingchi held her, he could only blink and look at the boy in the black coat who had walked away.
"What a handsome brother."
"Still reading?! You were almost hit by a car just now, my eldest lady!"
Jiang Qingchi gave her a fire chestnut.
This fire chestnut was another trigger. Jiang Chunhe stood on tiptoe and hit Jiang Qingchi on the head, and then ran away after the beating, fearing Jiang Qingchi's revenge.
Jiang Qingchi is taking revenge!
He quickly pulled his sister back and held her hand without letting go.
"Stop running and cross the road obediently."
Then the other hand held his brother's hand tightly, and the three of them crossed the road together and finally arrived at the kindergarten safely.
A false alarm.
… …
The three children agreed not to tell anyone about the incident while crossing the road.
On weekends, Jiang Qingchi took his younger brothers and sisters to the children's playground in the mall to play. Inflatable trampolines, small slides, circulating rivers, sand paintings, etc. are all favorites of children of this age.
Jiang Chunhe entered the wave pool alone. She liked the colorful balls very much!
Jiang Chun and Zi Gu played by themselves for a while, and in the blink of an eye, their elder brother and younger brother disappeared.
snort.
Why is it like this every time
Two boys played together, but they never took her, a girl, with them!
Bullying her for being a girl!
Why is it so bad.
Jiang Chunhe rubbed his eyes and cried sadly.
She has a pink and jade-carved little face, delicate features, and is as cute as a doll. Compared with other children around her, Jiang Chunhe looks different. At first glance, she is different from ordinary people, and her future path is destined. different.
Several children crawled over to comfort this beautiful little girl. Jiang Chunhe felt less uncomfortable. She liked the feeling of everyone surrounding her and being the center of attention.
until…
She once again saw the boy with eyebrows like gold.
The other person was wearing the same coat as last time, so she recognized him at a glance. It was the little brother who saved her and had a nice voice. He was as beautiful as the October sun in the north and made her happy.
"Brother, brother!"
Jiang Chunhe climbed to the ridge above the wave pool and stood up holding on to the thin ridge.
The boy raised his head, frowned, and looked around. Who is she calling her brother
"Brother, it's you, catch me!"
After saying that, she opened her arms and jumped down. The boy was stunned. He didn't expect that she would be so direct and subconsciously caught her.
Jiang Chunhe was like a successful little fox, grabbing the other's sleeve and rubbing it.
"Brother, you are so good-looking. Please be my brother. I don't want my old brother anymore. He is too bad and knows how to bully me."
"Young Master... who is this?" The butler on the side looked at Jiang Chunhe, who was very spiritual.
"do not know."
The boy put her on the ground.
Jiang Chun and Zhengzui hugged each other's legs.
"Brother, please don't abandon me. I don't want to be a child that no one wants."
“…”
Pedestrians coming and going were looking this way, as if the boy who was grabbed by the girl's trouser leg had done something heinous.
The boy squatted down half-crouched, his brows were light and timely, and his contours were clear, giving him an elusive sculptural feel.
"What's your name, little sister?"
"My name is Jiang Chunhe."
Jiang Chunhe
The butler on the side was stunned, "Master, could this be the child of the chairman of Jiang Nian Group?"
"Is your father's name Jiangbeiyuan?" the boy asked.
Jiang Chunhe immediately became vigilant, "What are you asking my father for?"
It seems that's it.
The boy stood up and said condescendingly, "You just said that no one wants you. Isn't your family nearby?"
"I don't know where my elder brother and younger brother are. They are all bad guys... they don't take me to play with them every time."
Just waiting to set a trap for the other party.
"Good brother... just be my brother. You saved me last time."
