pick a peach essence

"What, what?"

Duan Nian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his brother to be so persistent.

He always thought that the reason why his elder brother was able to find him was purely due to luck, but looking at it now, it was clearly...

His persistence.

The man sighed, I'm sorry Mr. Jiang, I couldn't help but tell him the truth.

Before the man came, Jiang Jinchen had repeatedly told him not to tell the boy the truth, and not to tell him that he had been looking for him for so many years.

There is no other reason, just to prevent the boy from getting too entangled.

Because Jiang Jinchen knew that the person he felt most sorry for in his life was his younger brother who went through such a terrible thing when he didn't understand anything.

He knew that, as an older brother, it was his own fault if he failed to protect his younger brother.

Therefore, he has been believing that his younger brother is still alive in this world for so many years, maybe it is the inner feelings of the two brothers.

Therefore, Jiang Jinchen decided that no matter where he went, he would find him back.

But what about after finding it?

Jiang Jinchen thought about this result for several years.

He... must hate himself very much.

At the beginning, he left the weak man and let him wander outside alone.

So Jiang Jinchen decided that he just went to see him, he wanted to see how his younger brother was doing well after all these years, that was enough.

Then he will do everything in his power to make it up to him.

So Jiang Jinchen decided to hide the fact that he had been looking for him for more than ten years, because he didn't want him to be in entanglement.

It doesn't matter, even if he doesn't return to Jiang Jinchen's side, he won't have any complaints, because he is the one who is sorry for this child...

At this moment, Duan Nian heard the sound of the cake shop door being pushed open.

The blue wind chime hanging on the door was turning, and the crisp sound kept echoing in Duan Nian's ears.

Then he saw a tall man walking towards him against the light.

He stood up blankly and finally saw the man's face clearly.

It was a face somewhat similar to his own, but compared to his softness, this man's facial features were deeper, especially his eyes...

Let him be very familiar.

"Brother, brother..."

Duan Nian felt the reassuring smell emanating from this man.

"Little Han..."

Jiang Jinchen looked at the boy in front of him, and soon overlapped with the child in his memory who followed behind his butt every day to hug him.

Jiang Jinchen hugged the thin boy, and finally couldn't control his tears.

It turns out... such a strong man also has a fragile side.

Jiang Jinchen's assistant sighed, then turned and left, wanting to leave this brother their own space.

Duan Nian felt the familiar temperature in Jiang Jinchen's arms, and suddenly remembered some scenes of him being with his brother when he was a child.

At that time, he seemed to be very clinging to his brother, following him every day either for hugs or sweets.

It turns out that when I was a child... I hated it so much.

Duan Nian smiled helplessly.

At this time, Jiang Jinchen also calmed down, he looked at the boy carefully from head to toe, and he was relieved.

Then he looked at Duan Nian's gentle eyes and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Jiang Jinchen suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.

Such a beautiful boy, he actually...

Let him suffer so many years outside alone.

"sorry."

Duan Nian looked at the man suspiciously, and suddenly heard him apologize to himself.

"You, you don't...don't..."

Duan Nian was very excited when he saw Jiang Jinchen just now, so he was hugged tightly by his brother without thinking about anything.

But now...

He looked at the man's expressionless and even a little scary face when he wasn't smiling, and he finally came to his senses.

He hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Jiang Jinchen looked helplessly at the boy in front of him.

"What are you nervous about?"

Duan Nian was embarrassed and wanted to bury his head in the ground.

so embarrassing...

"are you hungry?"

"Eh?"

Duan Nian didn't expect a man to ask himself this question suddenly.

Are you hungry or something...

Jiang Jinchen lowered his head and saw the complete piece of cake on his table, and then decisively pulled him into his car.

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Duan Nian looked at Jiang Jinchen's posture of abducting and selling children, and hugged his arms tightly.

Thanks to knowing that this is his elder brother, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have gotten into his car.

Jiang Jinchen brought him to a restaurant, booked a private room and walked in with him.

The waitress looked at the thin boy led away by Jiang Jinchen with a dazed expression, and considered whether to call the police...

"What do you want to eat, brother please."

Jiang Jinchen generously put the menu in his younger brother's hands.

Duan Nian quietly looked at Jiang Jinchen's expensive clothes and the prices of the dishes on the menu.

It seems that I guessed right, his brother is really a rich man.

Then since that's the case...

Duan Nian decisively ordered the dish that he had always wanted to eat but could not afford anyway.

Then the two fell into embarrassment.

Duan Nian blushed, feeling Jiang Jinchen's gaze.

Jiang Jinchen frowned and looked at the boy beside him, suddenly realizing that he was really thin and his face was so pale.

"Do you not like to eat?"

Duan Nian was shocked by Jiang Jinchen's sudden words.

"Uh...I..."

He just wanted to lie to the man, but as soon as he met the man's gaze, he couldn't tell any more lies.

Duan Nian could only nod his head.

"It's okay if you don't eat, it depends on how thin you are."

Duan Nian felt warm in his heart, he knew that his brother was caring about him, but...

But what his brother didn't know was that no matter how much he ate, he would be so thin.

Maybe... I will suddenly disappear from this world one day.

"you……"

Jiang Jinchen looked at the boy who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and pursed his lips.

"what happened?"

Duan Nian looked at Jiang Jinchen with hesitation.

"Do you want to say something?"

Jiang Jinchen looked at his considerate younger brother, and suddenly felt that he was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.

"sorry."

Duan Nian heard the man apologize to himself again, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't apologize to me, you did nothing wrong."

However, Jiang Jinchen shook his head.

"No, it's not like that."

"The biggest mistake I made in my life was to lose you..."

Duan Nian watched Jiang Jinchen's depression suddenly, and recalled what the man said to him just now.

He said that his brother had been looking for him for more than ten years.

So Duan Nian believes that his brother must not have left him on purpose.

"Can you tell me something about our past?"

Jiang Jinchen nodded when he heard it.

"Our father was an entrepreneur, he founded the Jiang Group."

Jiang Group?

Duan Nian had heard about it, but he didn't know if what he was thinking and what his brother was talking about were the same.

"Our family of four was living happily, but one day, our father was framed by others and disappeared..."

"Then, mother led us around to avoid the enemy's pursuit."

"It's just...in the process, I accidentally let you be captured by bad guys."

It turns out...it's like this...

Duan Nian thought, he really guessed right, he would not believe that his brother left him behind.

"I also tried to find you, but... there is no news at all."

After Jiang Jinchen finished speaking, he raised his head and looked into the boy's eyes.

"Xiaohan, do you hate me?"

hate it?

Duan Nian froze for a moment.

Why does he hate his brother?

"I don't hate you, and I don't hate Mom and Dad either."

Duan Nian looked at Jiang Jinchen's shocked face, then smiled at him.

"It's nothing, you didn't leave me on purpose, and..."

"I've had a lot of fun all these years."

Hearing this, Jiang Jinchen sighed.

He stretched out his hand to rub Duan Nian's hair, the feeling was the same as when he was a child.

"Then...would you like to go back with me?"

Duan Nian froze for a moment, then lowered his head.

go back... but...

Although he knew his life experience was very happy, but...

If he followed his brother back, it would be too unfair to his adoptive parents.

The two of them raised themselves up and took care of them for so many years, and they also used up all their savings to see a doctor for themselves, and went to seek medical treatment behind their backs when they were young.

But now, he found his family and abandoned them... How is this possible.

"Sorry, I……"

In the end, Duan Nian still felt that he was not such a cold-blooded person. The couple raised themselves up with all their love, and when they were old, there was no one who could take care of them...

"Ok, I know."

Jiang Jinchen smiled at Duan Nian, and then signaled him not to be so nervous.

"Elder brother knows, it's okay, since that's the case, I'll come here to see you."

Duan Nian nodded happily after hearing this.

"Can I interview your parents tomorrow?"

Jiang Jinchen looked at the boy in front of him with a smile.

"Ah, yes, of course."

Jiang Jinchen really wanted to replace his parents and visit those two benefactors.

When Jiang's father heard the news, he wanted to come and see his youngest son and their benefactor in person, but Jiang Jinchen refused.

Because Father Jiang's health is getting worse and worse recently, Jiang Jinchen doesn't want him to toss about like this.

He promised to take the child back to see him when the child is willing.

Only then did Father Jiang agree.

"Well, you just kept calling me Xiaohan..."

Duan Nian just heard Jiang Jinchen calling himself Xiaohan, so, is his original name Xiaohan?
Only then did Jiang Jinchen realize that he was so excited that he forgot to tell him such an important information.

"Yes, your name is Jiang Yihan, you are the youngest son of your father Jiang Huaiwei, my younger brother."

Jiang Yihan...

Duan Nian silently recited the name, it sounds so good...

After the food was served, Jiang Jinchen hurriedly told Duan Nian to eat more.

"What's wrong, you're really too skinny."

Jiang Jinchen frowned and kept putting vegetables on Duan Nian's plate.

"That's enough brother... I can't eat."

"No, you have to eat if you can't eat it."

Duan Nian glanced at the mountains of delicacies on the plate speechlessly, and suddenly felt that his brother was really domineering.

However, Jiang Jinchen looked at Duan Nian's abnormally pale face, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.

Under normal circumstances, even malnutrition is not like this, could it be...

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinchen suddenly had a bad feeling.

On the other side, Tao Tao ran into Wen Liang by chance when get out of class was over.

"I was going to find you."

Wen Liang seemed to be in a good mood at this time, Tao Tao looked at him, thinking that something good happened to this child.

So, what he said next made Tao Tao happy all day...
