hope for redemption

Outside the window, the scene of Zhou Ping and Jiang Tiancheng's quarrel kept receding, shrinking until it disappeared into a sea of ​​people. Jiang Xi let out a long sigh of relief looking at the constantly receding street scene, never felt so relaxed .

Everything that should be said is clear, I only hope that this time it can really make them remember what I said, so that I can live the rest of my life peacefully.

"Don't be sad, they don't deserve it." Lin Wang stroked Jiang Xi's nape to comfort him.

Lin Wangguang was so distressed when he heard Jiang Xi tell those things, and he didn't dare to think about the video in the USB drive.He felt distressed and regretted, he felt sorry for his baby who had experienced so many betrayals at such a young age, and was still stabbed by the person he loved the most.Regret that I didn't meet him earlier, and regret what he did every time he rioted after he and Jiang Xi were together.

Now he can finally understand why Jiang Xi doesn't want to say it, because it's too hard to say, just like the scar you closed with great difficulty, but you have to tear it open again with your own hands, reminding you, stinging you, letting you see How ridiculous and absurd it is to look at your own past.

But at the same time, it is undeniable that all the emotions are still covered with joy.

He was thankful that Jiang Tiancheng and Zhou Ping gave Jiang Xi the knife so mercilessly and pushed him towards him.He was glad that Jiang Xi met him instead of others after returning to China.

He also finally understands one thing now, from the moment Jiang Xi agreed to be with him, he won, and all the things that happened after that continue to prove this point.

Thinking of this, Lin Wang couldn't help hugging Jiang Xi, patted him on the back and coaxed him softly: "I'm here."

Even though Jiang Xi wasn't that wronged, subconsciously he just wanted to act like a baby, and wanted Lin Wang to love him more.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered that he was still in Mr. Yu's car, and Mr. Yu was sitting opposite and watching.

"No," Jiang Xi pushed Lin Wang away in a panic, and whispered, "Old Man Yu is still watching."

Lin Wang also snapped back to his senses, and when he realized this, he tilted his head in embarrassment, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

"Ah.. the young people nowadays are so affectionate," Mr. Yu joked with a smile, "You can continue as if I don't exist, don't exist."

Lin Wang rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Mr. Yu, don't make fun of us. Fortunately, Jiang Xi has a thin skin."

"I didn't!" Jiang Xi defended with a blushing face.

Lin Wang pointed to Jiang Xi's flushed face to Elder Yu, and spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I see," Mr. Yu pursed his lips and smiled, waved his hands, adjusted his sitting posture, looked at Jiang Xi and asked, "Jiang Xi, I heard from Lin Wang that you have an absolute sense of language?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Jiang Xi immediately came back to his senses, straightened his sitting posture and replied respectfully.

Mr. Yu nodded: "Did you quit Noah's Ark?"

"Yes, I retired a year ago, and then I returned to China." Jiang Xi replied.

"Oh, you should get used to it when you return to China, life and study." Mr. Yu asked, "According to the class arrangement of your language sense department, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, I can still keep up with the essays I chose," Jiang Xi replied, "My brother has been helping me in this aspect of life, so I got used to it quickly."

"That's pretty good." Mr. Yu glanced at Lin, smiled inexplicably, and continued to ask, "I heard you talking just now, you seem to have mentioned An Sheng, right? I remember Stephen's direct student. Is that An Sheng?"

"Yes, Brother Deng Chen brought her." Jiang Xi suppressed the look in his eyes.

"Deng Chen.. I didn't realize when you mentioned his Chinese name like that..." Old Yu brows were tinged with sadness, "A very good boy, what a pity."

"Stephen, Song Dengchen?" Lin Wang asked, "Cronus' brother?"

"Yes." Elder Yu replied.

"You know Cronus?" Jiang Xi asked in surprise.

"How could you not know him? His ability is absolutely precise." Lin Wang laughed a little, "What's more, he is still my senior brother."

"Ah?" Jiang Xi suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Yu, and asked, "Mr. Yu, are you the direct tutor of Cronus?"

"That's right. When the Stanford family was hunted down by Lopez, I was the one who extradited them to China. You should have known each other at that time. I heard that they brought back a large number of capable people after they returned to Noah's Ark." .” Yu Lao explained.

Jiang Xi stroked the timeline and replied: "It should be like this."

Hearing what they said, Jiang Xi felt that he and Lin Wang were like a circle divided into two semicircles. In the previous ten years, they were wandering in this world separately, but when they met, they all However, their personal relationships and background experiences can be completely closed and become a complete circle of intercommunication.

Now he also finally understands why Lin Wang's white papers can be circulated without printing the permits. As far as the relationship between Mr. Yu and Cronus is concerned, there is no need to go through those procedures.

"Well, I remember that before I retired, the language sense department was still in charge of the first generation, right? Now? How's it going?" Mr. Yu asked, "An Sheng's seat should not be low."

"The first generation defected and was wanted," Jiang Xi replied, "An Sheng...sat in the position of minister."

This answer exceeded Old Yu's expectations, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Minister? It's only been a few years for her, this..."

"Less than five years." Jiang Xi swallowed the panic in his heart.

No matter how much he hated An Sheng, he couldn't deny her ability. It only took a few years to climb from a low-level member to the position of minister, and also brought a Jiang Xu. In addition to environmental background factors, more is her ability.

Thinking of what An Sheng had done to him, Jiang Xi suddenly felt panic.

"It's no wonder that he was the person Stephen had his eyes on back then. This ability is really strong." Old Yu clicked his tongue in admiration.

Lin Wang frowned, and asked hesitantly, "Then what is her relationship with your family?"

In fact, Lin Wang wanted to ask more about the relationship between An Sheng and Jiang Xi, and why she set up one trap after another just to take Jiang Xi away.

Hearing Lin Wang's question, Jiang Xi didn't know what to say about An Sheng's identity. After thinking for a while, she replied, "Should be my sister-in-law, she is my cousin's fiancée? I'm not sure what the two of them are. Married or not married."

"Your cousin?" Elder Yu asked in astonishment, "Isn't An Sheng..."

"Yes, my cousin Jiang Xu," Jiang Xi knew what Elder Yu wanted to say, "An Sheng was with my cousin only after Stephen died."

"Your cousin is also a capable person?" Elder Yu asked.

"Yes, absolute prediction. We are the same group of people who were found to be capable. He is now the head of the prediction department." Jiang Xi answered all the questions that Mr. Yu might ask next.

"The head of the Prediction Department has also changed?" Mr. Yu asked in disbelief.

"That's right, I changed people a year before I quit," Lin Wang replied, "It was a big change that year, and the ministers and vice-ministers of several departments were changed."

Hearing what Lin Wang said, Mr. Yu frowned worriedly, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that Stephen's death still dealt a heavy blow to them..."

As soon as Stephen is mentioned... Jiang Xi is still more used to calling Song Dengchen, even though it is a fake name.

Song Dengchen is one of the few good memories in his childhood.

Song Dengchen is a very gentle person, and Jiang Xi's absolute sense of language was also slowly developed by him. His intonation, tone, ascending and descending sounds, etc. are the most perfect and comfortable that Jiang Xi has ever heard.

Until now, Jiang Xi can still recall exactly how he led himself to stand on the balcony and read aloud.

It's a pity that geniuses always seem to be unlucky, and Song Dengchen finally died in that plane accident.

Their vehicles are still driving as if time is still passing, and people always have to look forward.Although they have come out of the grief of death, in the long river of time, if they are suddenly mentioned, they will still be caught off guard and fall into grief.

Only then did they realize that in fact, they never walked out but were diluted, which made you think that you had already walked out.

"Damn, why is it so heavy, change the topic and change the topic." Mr. Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending to smile lightly, "I heard from Lin Wang that you found Alps?"

Jiang Xi also immediately withdrew his emotions, raised his head and replied: "Yes, I have some friendship with him, so he agreed to help me with this favor. I... am very worried about my brother's illness, and I want to help him cure it."

While talking about Jiang Xi, he secretly raised his eyes to see Lin Wang's expression. He was not sure what Lin Wang's attitude towards this matter was.

Old Yu cast a sideways glance at Lin Wang, hid the smile in his eyes and said to Jiang Xi, "I really haven't seen Alps for a long time, I'll catch up with him sometime later, where is he now?"

From Mr. Yu's tone, he could tell that his relationship with Alps should be pretty good, so Jiang Xi directly reported the hotel address and room number without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and decided to speak: "Old Yu, can you..."

"Uncle, the trouble stops here."

Just when Jiang Xi wanted to ask Mr. Yu to help him persuade him, Lin Wang suddenly asked the driver to stop.

"Why did you just get off here? Didn't you get home yet?" Mr. Yu looked out the window.

Lin Wang removed Jiang Xi's seat belt: "It's his birthday today, I have to give him a gift, just send it here."

"Oh, okay, I understand," Mr. Yu looked at Lin Wang's actions meaningfully, and suddenly slapped his thigh as if thinking of something, took out a bag from the wine cabinet beside him and handed it to Jiang Xi, " Jiang Xi, I wish you a happy birthday, I don’t have anything to give, so I just gave you something casually, so don’t dislike it.”

"Ah, no, no, Mr. Yu, you are being polite." Jiang Xi lowered his body weight and took the bag from Mr. Yu's hand.

"Okay, then I won't bother you, you can follow him to see your gift." Mr. Yu waved his hand with a smile.

Jiang Xi thanked him again, and then followed Lin Wang out of the car.

"Hey, Lin Wang," Mr. Yu called out just as Lin Wang was about to close the car door, "Is it serious?"

"Yes, I didn't lie to you." Lin Wang replied holding the car door.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible," Mr. Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Go."

Lin Wang thanked him, closed the car door, pulled Jiang Xi to the side steps, and watched the car turn around and leave.

"What did Mr. Yu mean just now?" Jiang Xi was led forward by Lin Wang.

Lin Wang fiddled with the phone with his head down and replied vaguely: "You will find out later."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xi knew that it must be another surprise, so she didn't continue to ask, and followed Lin Wang with peace of mind, letting him lead her forward.

They turned left and right to a familiar place, the tattoo parlor that Jiang Xi brought Lin Wang to that day.

As soon as he entered the store, Jiang Xi knew what Lin Wang wanted to do. He felt his body getting lighter and lighter, as if he was walking on clouds under his feet, and his whole body was moving forward completely relying on Lin Wang's traction. .

A032

They came to the familiar room again.

"Come here for the piercing?" The master in the light green overalls asked without raising his head.

"No," Lin Wang pulled Jiang Xi into the room, and closed the door behind him, "I got tattoos and pierced his ears."

"Tattoos? You didn't..." The master stopped his work, turned his head to look at him and raised his eyebrows in astonishment, "Why are you again?"

"You are good at crafting, so I will come back to look for you again." Lin Wang said with a smile.

Leaning on his seat, the master smiled happily, put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Another hickey?"

"Yes," Lin Wang gestured to the lower abdomen, "Is it okay to get a tattoo here?"

"Yes, you can tattoo anywhere you want." The master smiled, stood up and stretched, and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, so let's go out and fix it for about 20 minutes."

Lin Wang nodded, and when the master left, he pulled down the waistband of his trousers, and waved to Jiang Xi: "Baby, come here."

"You... tattooed here?" Jiang Xi walked over, knelt down and touched that piece of skin.

"Yes," Lin Wang raised Jiang Xi's chin, "Why don't you ask me?"

"Why?" Jiang Xi followed his mind and asked.

Lin Wang squatted down, hugged him into his arms, bit his ear tip and said, "Because when I hugged you from behind, the skin of my tattoo and the skin of your tattoo fit together. I saw It can feel the temperature of you in my arms."

When Lin Wang said this, the breath of every word sprayed into Jiang Xi's ear sockets, causing a surge of electric current to hit his brain directly, making Jiang Xi's scalp numb, and his whole body suddenly lost strength and fell into his arms. .

"Baby, remember to use your strength later, the most beautiful shape will be formed at one time." Lin Wang picked him up from his arms, and stood up for Jiang Xi to leave a hickey on him.

"I see." Jiang Xi touched Lin Wang's skin, pinched the time and waited until there were about 5 minutes left before he leaned over and left a hickey on it.

Not long after the hickey was finished, the master came back, and after discussing the color, shape, and three-dimensional effect as in the previous process, he began to cut the line.

The place Lin Wang chose was a bit more meaty than the place Jiang Xi chose. The whole process didn’t feel much pain, and the time it took was similar to Jiang Xi’s before. The final result was very good-looking, anyway, others would know it at a glance It's a hickey, if you add Jiang Xi's, you can immediately understand that it's a couple's tattoo.

Lin Wang looked at the tattoo, nodded in satisfaction, took out a small plastic bag from his trouser pocket, and handed it to the master: "Pierce his ear, the left ear."

"Okay, sit there," the master smiled, took out the earrings inside and sterilized them, and put them in the earring gun, "Rub the meat off the earlobe for him."

Jiang Xi took a look at the earring, it was the same shape as the diamond on his diamond ring, drop-shaped, and most importantly, it was a small black diamond.

It only takes one glance at Jiang Xi to see its quality, it is absolutely superior.

"Okay," Lin Wang nodded, walked over and began to pinch Jiang Xi's earlobe.

This master is quite considerate, the last time Lin Wang came to beat him straight away, this time it was Jiang Xi's turn, and caring about the pain, he rubbed the meat before beating him.

Lin Wang was a little upset.

"Why didn't he rub it last time?" Jiang Xi asked suspiciously.

The master sterilized Jiang Xi's earlobe with a cotton swab: "His earlobe is thin, and your earlobe is full of flesh. Besides, he is a big rough man, so little pain is nothing."

"Then I'm not a man!" Jiang Xi asked angrily.

"Hey, I'm just kind, I'm afraid you will hurt." The master was a little helpless when asked, aimed at the place and quickly pressed the gun, and turned the back of the head according to the head, "Okay, the last day Fever, if it bleeds and festers, come here and I'll treat it for you."

Jiang Xi tilted his head and glanced at the mirror next to him. The black diamond was shining on his earlobe. He reached out and dialed it, and the light flowed.

"Just finished playing, don't move around," Lin Wang took disinfectant and alcohol and came over to hold Jiang Xi's restless hand.

Jiang Xi clasped his hand instead, pulled it to his lips and kissed it, and said with a smirk, "I like it so much."

"I like it too," Lin Wang pulled him up from his seat, put his arms around his waist and said as he walked out, "I like both people and drills."

After the two paid the money, they took a taxi back to the rented room. They knew what they were so anxious to do, and they couldn't help but start kissing almost as soon as they got to the fourth floor.

The sensor lights in the corridor have been dimmed, and only the outline of two people embracing can be vaguely seen in the dim corridor.

Lin Wang threw the plastic bag in his hand on the ground, supported Jiang Xi by his hamstrings, picked him up and pushed him against the corner wall, let his legs wrap around his waist, and supported the back of his head to kiss him.

"Well..." Jiang Xi raised his head and gasped, rubbing Lin Wang's side neck and said, "Let's stay here, don't go back to the room."

Lin Wang was stunned, and after realizing it, he smiled and bit his neck: "Okay, change to a fresh one."

The two came once fresh, and twice old, and finally lay contentedly on the bed waiting for the aftertaste to dissipate.

---

Jiang Xi's physical strength is getting better and better. After three times, he still has the strength to raise his hand. He looked at the glazed light of the diamond ring on his hand and said with a smile: "This is really the best birthday I've ever had. "

Even though there was an episode with Zhou Ping and the others in the middle, it didn't have much impact on Jiang Xi's mood. The surprises and warmth that Lin Wang, mother-in-law, and old Uncle Zhang Yun brought to him throughout the day were enough to wash away the sadness.

Lin Wang raised his hand to touch his side face, got up and took out a document from the bedside cabinet.

"Come on, baby," Lin Wang folded the pillow, hugged Jiang Xi and put him on it, turned on the phone and glanced at the time, "It's 23:53 Beijing time, and your birthday is 7 minutes away It's over, I'm going to give you one last gift now."

"Huh? You still have a gift to give?" Jiang Xi grinned in surprise, sat up straight excitedly and asked, "What is it?"

"It's this," Lin Wang took the document and pushed it in front of Jiang Xi.

The document was not very thick, just a piece of paper, light and fluffy.

But when Jiang Xi saw what was written on it, he felt that the piece of paper weighed a thousand catties, and it hit his heart directly, his emotions welled up all of a sudden, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The name of the document is 'Psychological Violence Treatment Consent'.

"I don't have anything else to say, I just want to take that step for you, my baby, and the person I put on top of my heart." Lin Wang moved closer, and wiped away Jiang Xi's tears with his hand, "You gave yourself to me when I became an adult, and I want to give you my future when you become an adult."

"The requirement for the signatory of this consent form is to be a relative with legal capacity. You are 18 years old and have legal capacity. I gave the diamond ring as a marriage proposal, and you are my wife."

"So, Jiang Xi, would you like to sign this agreement and be my signatory?"

Jiang Xi is crying to death now, she is crying out of breath, but she is still breathing heavily, trying to make a complete syllable: "I...I am willing. Wow! Lin Wang ..you really..hate it to death!"

Jiang Xi felt that today he was just like the person with the incontinence of tears, the tears fell down like he didn't want money, and he couldn't control it no matter what.

"Don't cry, don't cry now," Lin Wang hugged him distressedly, patted him on the back and gave him comfort, "If I knew it would make you cry like this, I would give it to you in batches." .”

"What do you share, how long do you want to hide it?" Jiang Xi cried and beat him, "Did you discuss it with Alps a long time ago! I asked him the day before yesterday and he lied to me, saying that you never went to him. "

"I want him to keep it from you, surprise, baby." Lin Wang coaxed.

Hearing the word "surprise", Jiang Xi couldn't bear it anymore, she pursed her mouth and nestled into Lin Wang's arms and began to cry, complaining while crying, "You are really annoying... I cried like a dog on my birthday All...you still lie to me, do you know that I am very worried...I am afraid that you will die..."

Jiang Xi didn't know what he was talking about, anyway, he just said whatever came to mind, and began to complain without thinking.

"That's right, it's my fault, it's all my fault," Lin Wang coaxed, and glanced at the time, it was almost midnight, "Can you cry later, sign your name before midnight gone."

"Is it almost midnight?" Jiang Xi sniffed and crawled out of Lin Wang's arms, hurriedly took out a pen from the pen container of the bedside table, moved his hand to stabilize it, took a few deep breaths, and then stroked Signed his name on it.

He was not so serious and excited when he signed a big deal worth hundreds of millions in Noah's Ark.

Lin Wang glanced at the consent form, put it back in the drawer, and hugged Jiang Xi into his arms.He said softly while patting his back.

"Now you can go on crying, my undersigned."
