Drowning Reborn

A few days later, Jiang Zehan also finished the final exam, and the holiday began, and the first big thing after the winter vacation was the Chinese New Year.

This is the seventh Spring Festival that Jiang Zechen and Jiang Zehan have spent together after their rebirth. The two brothers have long been accustomed to ignoring the New Year as nothing. Sometimes they will simply go out for a trip together and play a game to dilute the loneliness at the beginning of the new year. .

——At first, it was Jiang Zehan's suggestion, Jiang Zechen was noncommittal, but later Jiang Zechen gradually felt that it would be good to travel during the Chinese New Year, and gradually formed a habit.Although it was a bit cold during the Spring Festival, the tourist attractions were empty, completely gone from the crowded "scenery" of the "golden period".

During the Chinese New Year this year, the two brothers were also planning to go on a trip, but they didn't expect to be disrupted by a phone call from the Jiang family right after they finalized the general direction.

"Xiaochen, Dad said that he will come back this year for Chinese New Year." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zehan turned to look at Jiang Zechen who was lying on the sofa, his tone was very flat, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

Jiang Zechen froze for a moment, blinked his eyes, then threw out the travel album in his hand, rolled around on the sofa with his head in his arms, and lamented, "It's so boring!"

Jiang Zehan was immediately happy, seeing his younger brother Zhang's appearance of disliking his parents for disrupting the situation, and the little entanglements he had just received the call disappeared immediately.Walking over to sit on the sofa, Jiang Zehan hugged Jiang Zechen over and messed up his unruly black hair.

"This year's Chinese New Year is about to go through the normal procedure. Does Xiaochen like it?" Jiang Zehan asked softly with a smile, and Jiang Zehan relaxed his body and leaned on the sofa, his eyes were a little blank.

"...There is nothing I like or dislike." Jiang Zechen thought about it sideways, and frowned slightly, "I heard Li Shaoming said that the things their family will do during the New Year are nothing more than eating, drinking, watching TV and chatting as a family, and then Visiting relatives and so on, the relatives’ children are very annoying... It’s boring to hear it! I don’t think I’d like to go anywhere.”

"Well, me too." Jiang Zehan nodded. Although he was smiling, his tone and eyes were a little indifferent, and he seemed to be absent-minded. It's too obvious, be more enthusiastic, after all, this is the first time Dad took you there after Xiaochen grew up..." The exhortations came to an abrupt end, and Jiang Zehan's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Forget it, let Xiaochen do what he wants, no matter what, my brother will not let Xiaochen be wronged."

"Yeah! I knew my brother loved me the most!" Jiang Zechen nodded without hesitation, smiling like a flower, his eyes were full of innocence—selective blindness, he had long been used to it like an instinct.

Jiang Zehan twitched the corners of his mouth, and pressed his younger brother's raised head into the crook of his neck to avoid the gaze that almost stabbed him.

Ever since they learned of the return date of the Jiang family and his wife, the Jiang family has become very busy. The endless new year's goods were sent over by various people in various names, and the Jiang family was also decorated with a new look, full of strong Spring Festival atmosphere.However, the Jiang family brothers remained calm and did not even change their pace of life, and even rarely mentioned the two people who were coming in their conversations. It seemed that what the Jiang family was about to welcome was not its real master, but just Two more distinguished guests.

Jiang Zechen didn't know what Jiang Zehan felt about the return of the Jiang family for the Chinese New Year, at least he wasn't as calm as he showed—it was still his parents after all.

Jiang Zechen didn't care much about his father. Perhaps this man had paid attention to him when he was a child, but in his previous life, following his unsatisfactory troubles everywhere and Jiang Zehan's outstanding excellence, Jiang's father's rare attention gradually faded away. He fell on Jiang Zehan, the best heir in his mind.Jiang Zechen felt that Jiang's father probably felt that he was sorry for Jiang Zehan's mother, so he passed on this apology to Jiang Zehan. Apart from being strict with his studies and homework, he was very obedient, but it was a pity that Jiang Zehan never mentioned too much to him. much request.

In Jiang Zechen's memory, every time Jiang's father and Jiang Zehan had disputes, it was because Jiang Zehan was protecting his unworthy younger brother. However, after every dispute, Jiang's father would always take the lead in giving way, and Jiang Zehan won a big victory , and Jiang Zechen, who was protected by him, was naturally unscathed no matter what he did.

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the Jiang family has always been harmonious. Jiang's father and Jiang Zehan's father are kind and filial, Jiang Zehan and Jiang Zechen... Well, they are probably just "brothers and friends", not "brothers"...

At the lowest ebb of his life, Jiang Zechen once doubted whether Jiang's father also understood Jiang Zehan's intention of pampering and spoiling him, whether Jiang's father decided to abandon him from the very beginning, and only let Jiang Zehan protect him all the time. But it's pointless to think about it any more.

Jiang Zechen felt that Jiang's father meant more to Jiang Zehan than he did to himself, but it was a pity that even though Jiang's father had been trying to make up for it, he didn't know that the way he made it up was wrong - what Jiang Zehan wanted was to be with his family, not money. Wealth, pampering in life—and it is not so easy to revive a cold heart, especially someone like Jiang Zehan who is soft on the surface but extremely stubborn in his heart.Based on Jiang Zechen's understanding of his brother, once he is disappointed in someone and throws it away, he will never pick it up again.

——Because my heart is cold, I don't look forward to it, and because I discard it, I don't miss it.Jiang Zehan has always been obedient and sensible, and has never complained about Jiang's father in words or actions, so Jiang's father thought that he had successfully played a loving father, unaware that he was nothing in the eyes of his children .

——Actually, sometimes when you think about it, giving birth to a calculating and cold-blooded son like Jiang Zehan is probably a punishment for Jiang's father, right?Fortunately, Jiang's father died early in his previous life. Otherwise, with Jiang Zehan's skills, Jiang's father might be completely taken away by his son when Jiang's father was 50 years old. How miserable!

As for his mother, Jiang Zechen was not as cold and hard as he was with Jiang's father who was like a stranger.

Although Mrs. Jiang is ambitious, she is not a smart woman. Otherwise, she would not have devoted herself to her husband who likes to mess around, and neglected to train her own children, cutting off her own future.Therefore, once Jiang's father died, she would have no power to turn around and could only be slaughtered by others—probably, Mrs. Jiang never thought that her husband, who was in good health, would pass away suddenly...

Jiang Zechen didn't hate his mother, nor did she hate her. Although she was short-sighted and pushed him several times when he was going to the abyss for the sake of wealth and glory, after all, she was sincere to him, and at the end of her life, she was with him She is the only one who advances and retreats together-even if it is because they have to be tied to the same boat, they cannot be separated even if they want to.Jiang Zechen is willing to believe that his mother is sincere for him, even though it is mixed with selfish thoughts, but it is indeed sincere to him, otherwise, his life in the previous life would have been too bad...

In life, it is not wrong to be ambitious, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to fight. If given the opportunity, people all hope to go to a higher place, even for a second-generation ancestor like Jiang Zechen who is not up to date.It's a pity that both mother and child can't see their own weight clearly, and they haven't learned how to stop when enough is enough.

In his previous life, Jiang Zechen was instigated by his mother to fight and rob, and died in the end. Mrs. Jiang's fate was probably to get alimony, and then she was surrounded by Jiang Zehan to retire quietly - after all, Jiang Zehan is very good at making appearances He is not willing to let people know that he can't tolerate his stepmother, but he will definitely settle her down properly by "repaying grievances with virtue", so Jiang Zechen is not worried. Had a terrible time.

As for this life... Jiang Zechen is not sure whether his mother, who is used to the life of "Mrs. Jiang", is willing to live a more ordinary life with his son who is not up to date in the entertainment industry - he can't let His own mother is "a mother is more expensive than a child", and the title of "Mrs. Jiang" will also fall on his sister-in-law, Jiang Zehan's wife, and has nothing to do with her.

Thinking that he would probably be abused by his mother for a while after Jiang's father died - or if he refused, it would probably last for several years - Jiang Zechen's head was a little big, but fortunately it was After four years...

The Jiang family and his wife returned to City B by plane on the morning of New Year's Eve, and the Jiang family brothers would naturally go to the airport to pick them up.

Sitting side by side with Jiang Zehan in the back seat, Jiang Zechen watched his brother staring out the window expressionlessly, and probably guessed that he was also full of thoughts like himself at this moment. The so-called "parents" couldn't help feeling empathetic, couldn't help stretching out their hands, and hooked Jiang Zehan's little finger on the car seat.

Jiang Zehan came back to his senses and saw that his brother was looking at him, his big eyes were equally complicated and unpredictable.With a smile on his face, he reached out and put his arms around Jiang Zechen, letting him lean on his shoulders. The Jiang brothers leaned against each other, obviously on their way to meet their parents and reunite their families, but they seemed to be abandoned in the dark, and they could only learn from each other. Only by holding each other's body temperature can we survive this cold winter.

Jiang Zechen has traveled to and from the airport in City B countless times, so he is very familiar with it.After stopping the car, the Jiang family brothers were guided by Jiang's father's company secretary to the corresponding customs pick-up gate. While looking at the flight number of the arriving plane on the screen, they waited silently for the Jiang family couple to come out of the customs.

Neither Jiang Zehan nor Jiang Zechen took the initiative to speak. On the contrary, the secretary had been trying to chat with them as if in a lively atmosphere. However, several managers came to welcome the plane from Jiang's father's head office in City B. After realizing that the two young masters of the Jiang family were not in the mood to chat, they also changed their target.The adults around laughed at Yan Yan and praised Jiang's father, but the Jiang brothers were still silent, but the two of them kept holding each other's hands from the car to the customs.

When the flight number of the plane that the Jiangs and his wife were taking finally appeared on the screen, Jiang Zechen clearly felt Jiang Zehan's hand tightening suddenly.

Jiang Zechen turned his head to look at his brother, and just met his gaze, and then, Jiang Zehan leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Even if father and... mother are back, Xiaochen is not allowed to Go around them and ignore my brother!"

"Well, no!" Jiang Zechen nodded as if promising, with a firm tone.

Jiang Zehan seemed relieved at last, the corners of his mouth, which had been tense all the time, slightly bent, softening the entire handsome face.
