grief

On a not-so-prosperous snack street, there was an inconspicuous noodle stall. The stall owner brought freshly cooked steaming noodles to a young man: "The noodles are ready, please use them slowly."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is your first time here." The boss saw that the young man's manner of speaking was not like an ordinary person, so he quickly sat down and chatted with him while he was not busy.

"I've been here once before." The young man smiled and asked casually, "Boss, are all the stalls on this snack street fixed?"

"Yeah, the stalls here are all year round. If you want to eat noodles next time, just come here." The stall owner looked at the young man with a smile, "Don't look at me as an inconspicuous place. The noodles are top notch."

The young man put the noodles into his mouth, chewed carefully, and nodded his head in approval.

"Boss, your business is pretty good..." The young man approached the stall owner with a smile and lowered his voice, "You must have made a lot of money here all the year round."

The stall owner was taken aback for a moment, seeing the young man's cunning eyes, and laughed again in a flash: "You really know how to joke, my small profit from this small stall is not very good, and I can't make much. And I only worked for more than half a year, which is just enough to support myself."

"Oh?" The young man wondered, "Haven't you been here all the time?"

"No. The stall owner here used to be someone else. He transferred the stall to me half a year ago, and I started working."

"It seems that the stall owner has made a lot of money, so he doesn't like this small place anymore, haha." The young man said with a smile, and continued to eat noodles.

The stall owner moved the small stool, moved closer to the young man, and lowered his voice: "It's not a big fortune, it's a big deal, otherwise, how could he give up the stall to me so cheaply."

"Are you kidding, what can be a big deal?" The young man didn't believe it.

"What I said is true." The stall owner's expression was quite serious, "I heard that something happened here half a year ago. A young man was here. Hey, it's where you are sitting right now. Yes, the stall owner at that time was afraid of getting into trouble, so he transferred the stall."

"Boss, don't scare me." The young man looked back, "Don't you want to say that I will be beaten later, too?"

"No." The stall owner smiled heartily, "Don't worry, if anyone dares to hurt someone here, I will call the police immediately."

"That's good." The young man smiled, seeming to be interested, "Then what happened at that time, did anyone call the police?"

"At that time... a van drove in suddenly, beat him up, stuffed him into the car and left. It happened too fast, everyone was busy with their own work, and no one paid attention. When they reacted, people It's long since disappeared. And I heard that those people were very vicious and probably had some influence, so the stall owner at that time was intimidated and didn't dare to say anything, so he transferred the stall in a hurry, and the whole family moved out the next day. "

The stall owner narrated the hearsay and his own arbitrary speculation.

"Boss, come for a bowl of noodles!"

"Okay, come right away." The stall owner looked at the young man, "You eat slowly."

The young man nodded with a smile, watching the stall owner walk away with a deep look in his eyes.

This young man was Qiao Yuxie who had completely recovered his memory.

He knew everyone was looking for him, but he didn't want to see anyone.These days, he thought a lot about himself, about Ouyang Liling, and about many people and things around him.

He finally understood the conflict with Geng Ye, the reason for his imprisonment, and Ouyang Liling's caution, but these were not what he wanted.He is obsessed with retrieving memories, not for more harm.

What is circling in my mind every day is the unbearable past, the deeply forgotten past, the subconsciously reluctant to remember but forcibly excavated.

He and Geng Ye were lying naked on the bed, Ouyang Liling pushed the door open, the smile on his face turned into unbelievable pain, that was the first time Ouyang Liling showed that expression, struggling and desperate.

No matter how he explained it, Ouyang Liling still indifferently said the words that made him want to die.

"I will fulfill you."

Those were the most hurtful words that Qiao Yuxi had heard from Ouyang Liling in these years. Even when facing enemies in the mall, Ouyang Liling's harshness and sternness were not even one ten-thousandth of this sentence.

He was very angry, not only to Ouyang Liling, but also to himself. The first time he attacked one of his own people, that punch was on the face of the person he loved the most.

He loves and trusts Ouyang Liling so relentlessly, even when everyone disagrees, he insists on it regardless.

However, when this happened, Ouyang Liling didn't understand him at all, didn't give him a word of comfort, didn't even give him a chance to explain, and just cruelly threw him away.

A self-righteous fulfillment is the greatest humiliation to him.

Qiao Yuxi vowed to make Ouyang Liling regret it and make him apologize to herself.

From that day on, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of work or life, as long as Ouyang Liling proposed, Qiao Yuxi would always oppose it.No matter how Ren Yiyan and others mediate, it doesn't work.

And Ouyang Liling has not reacted to improve the situation, but has become more and more silent, and even started not to express opinions.

Rumors swirled in the company, saying that the chief financial officer hated the president because of his love and wanted to replace him, and Yi Yan and others had already stood by Qiao Yuxie's side, and Ouyang Liling's position as president could not be guaranteed.

Qiao Yuxi laughed off these rumors, he didn't have that kind of thought at all.If he wants, Ouyang Liling will give it to him with just one word.He was just not reconciled, he was angry, and he wanted Ouyang Liling to apologize to him.

But he didn't expect that the conspiracy behind the rumors was enough to make him fall into hell.

That day came so suddenly, when he was brought into the police station, he had no idea what happened.

Stealing company secrets and selling out financial status to a rival company?Did he do it?Why doesn't he know it himself?

In the surveillance footage, the protagonist of this despicable transaction was so clear that it frightened him.

who's that person?That face, that movement, expression and voice, it's impossible, impossible!That's not him, not him!

However, no one believed it.

Everything recorded by the surveillance, the sinister and evil smile on that face exactly like his, did not allow him to quibble.

But that wasn't him, he never knew that his face could still show such an expression, so strange, so hateful, and it made him despair like that.

But is that him?Watching it over and over again, he found himself beginning to believe it.That's him, a humble guy who sells company secrets for profit.

Staying in the interrogation room, he thought a little bit self-destructively, he had already been abandoned by Ouyang Liling anyway, and instead of living in pain every day, it would be better to get rid of it once and for all.

However, Ouyang Liling appeared.

After being silent for so long, Ouyang Liling finally told him, trust him, and will try her best to save him.

For the first time in a long time, he cried out, completely disregarding the dignity of a man and the pride in his bones, just like that in Ouyang Liling's arms, crying dimly.

At that moment, he realized that he was deeply attached to Ouyang Liling, and no amount of comfort from others could compare to a word of trust and a hug from Ouyang Liling.

"Feather, I will definitely find evidence to prove your innocence, trust me."

This was the last sentence he heard Ouyang Liling say before he was imprisoned. After that, Ouyang Liling never appeared again.Only Yi Yan and the others kept looking at him, and every time they came, their expressions would be a little more dignified than before.No matter how he asked, they refused to say a single word about Ouyang Liling.

Until that day in the court, when he was sentenced, Geng Ye roared in the crowd: "Ouyang Liling, that bastard, I will never let him go!"

For the rest of his prison life, he refused to see anyone.He didn't want to see Ouyang Liling or Yi Yan, or Geng Ye who had forgiven him even though he didn't say it, or Lou Yi who had been timid but desperately looking for evidence for him at critical moments.

In prison, he has a lot of time to think.

The person exactly like him in the surveillance screen, Ouyang Liling said he believed him to save him but suddenly disappeared, Yi Yan kept silent, Geng Ye's anger and groundless accusations, and every time Lou Yi mentioned Ouyang Liling He hesitated to speak.He analyzed these one by one, but refused to come up with an answer.

In the end, he told himself with a smile and tears that even if he couldn't be a lover, he could still be a brother.

He was released early for good behaviour, with no plans to return.

It was a coincidence that the noodle stall came here. Who could he offend when he was just released from prison?

He was sure that no van suddenly drove in before he was knocked unconscious, and he just passed out after being hit once. memory.

After waking up, he was in an abandoned factory, surrounded by panic that he knew nothing about the world.He wandered around the streets in a daze, not knowing how long or where he went, his completely blank mind was filled with fear.He doesn't know who he is, or what it means to exist in this world.

Before passing out again, he met Yi Yan.

This is the first memory in his forced blank life, about Yi Yan.

Thinking about it now, he was an orphan that year, lonely, helpless, standing under the banyan tree crying, and it was also Yi Yan who told him with a smile that he wanted to be his family.

It seemed that Yi Yan was the only one who never left him.

Thinking of Yi Yan, Qiao Yuxi felt a little guilty, since there was no news for so long, Yi Yan must be very worried about herself.I don't know how he is now.And Geng Ye, who might have trouble with Ouyang Liling again.

Thinking of Ouyang Liling, my heart still hurts uncontrollably.

Looking at the few vegetables left in the bowl, Qiao Yuxi was stunned, for a long time, no one had nagged him not to be picky eaters at the table.Pick up the chopsticks, pick out the vegetables and put them in your mouth.

I have already understood what I should know and what I can think of. After all, escaping is not a long-term solution, and it is time to go back.

"Boss, thank you for your face."

"Come here often." The stall owner raised his head and shouted at Qiao Yuxi.

"it is good."

Qiao Yuxi waved his hand and merged into the sea of ​​people.
