Lover, he lost his memory
Chapter 22 Quarrel, Cold War
?? "Xiao Jing,? You go to No. [-], Area B to pick up Chu Chen from get off work. I will send the exact location to your mobile phone. You can take him wherever you want. Don't go back to the small courtyard for now. Wait for my notification."
?? Li Muze held the phone in one hand, and took out the car keys from his pocket with the other, and finished speaking almost indifferently.
?? Xiao Jing on the other side: "???"
?? This endless explanation really makes people confused about the situation,? Xiao Jing asked: "Ah Ze, what happened?"
??Li Muze got into the car,? threw the briefcase on the passenger seat, put on the seat belt, and said to the phone: "I'll explain to you when we meet."
??End the call,?Li Muze accelerated the accelerator and drove to the townhouse area.
??Jiang Rui was born in a scholarly family,? His parents are college tutors who graduated from prestigious schools. It may be because he was nurtured since he was a child. He also has a gentle temperament of a scholar.
??From the very beginning, Li Muze was attracted by his bookish air.But it's different now, Jiang Rui has lost the gentleness and elegance of the past, and his whole body has been controlled by anxiety.
?? Li Muze met him at the door of his house. Jiang Rui's car was parked in a vacant space outside the courtyard. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
??People have arrived at the door,??It seems not very good to invite people into the house for a cup of tea.
??Li Muze first ignored the anxiety in Jiang Rui's eyes, opened the door of the small courtyard, and calmly invited: "Come and have a cup of tea first."
??Jiang Rui followed closely: "Thank you, brother."
??The distance from the door to the living room is just a few steps, and Li Muze has countless conjectures in his mind.
??Jiang Rui knew that Chu Chen was in the courtyard of the villa??
??Know that Chu Chen lost his memory?
?? Who told him?
?? If you really know,? How to deal with it?
??…
?? Li Muze slowly brewed two cups of tea, returned to the living room, and pushed one of the cups to Jiang Rui who was sitting on the sofa in a trance.
?? "Have a cup of tea and taste it. I saved some of the tea leaves I gave to the teacher last time."
??Jiang Rui came back to his senses, took a sip from his teacup, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
??It's not the first time to be a guest at Li Muze's house. From the moment he entered the door, Jiang Rui felt that something was not right.
?? There have been obvious changes in the small courtyard, such as several types of fighting equipment in the courtyard, and the locomotive parked in the corner. It doesn't fit Li Muze's style.
??Compared to Jiang Rui's full of doubts, Li Muze on the opposite side was not much better.
?? Quietly observed the change of Jiang Rui's face, trying to find a flaw.
?? Still say thank you?
??Maybe without knowing...
??Despite the inner drama, Li Muze remained calm on the surface and took the initiative to break the silence: "Why did you come back suddenly?"
?? Jiang Rui withdrew his troubled eyes and said, "Someone told me that Chu Chen is in the country and near the villa area."
??Li Muze's heart skipped a beat, he drank his green tea calmly, and frowned slightly: "Who told you?"
?? Mentioning this aspect, Jiang Rui also showed a puzzled expression: "I don't know. After arriving in country M, I first went to Mag to find someone. Not long after, I received an anonymous letter, and it was a paper quality."
?? "Anonymous letter?" Li Muze put down his teacup, stared at Jiang Rui, and frowned even tighter.
??Jiang Rui nodded, and then said: "The letter said that Chu Chen did not go abroad. He is in S City, Hongfang townhouse area. The first thing I thought of was Senior Brother. Have you seen him nearby? ?”
??A trace of doubt flashed in Li Muze's eyes. He didn't answer immediately. He remained silent for a while before saying, "No."
??Jiang Rui, who was full of anticipation, was instantly disappointed. He clasped his hands together and rubbed gently, feeling so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to cry.
"What about the letter?" Li Muze asked suddenly.
"Oh, here." Jiang Rui quickly adjusted his posture, turned sideways and opened the chain of the backpack, took out an envelope from inside, and then handed it to Li Muze, "Brother, here you are."
?? Li Muze took it, put it in his hand and looked at it several times.
??This is a very ordinary letter paper. The envelope is the most common style in the country. The words on it are also printed out by a computer. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it was mailed from China.
??No address, anonymous, and deliberately used paper envelopes.
?? From this, it can be inferred that this person knows Jiang Rui, and is also familiar with Jiang Rui's working environment and professional ability. The person who mailed this letter deliberately concealed his true identity.
??If it was sent by Internet mail, how could it have escaped Li Muze's palm??
?? Then what is the purpose of this person doing this?
??Is it just to let Jiang Rui go back to China?
?? Chu Chen's face flashed before Li Muze's eyes, and he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Chen.
??Chu Chen has amnesia, it seems that the whole thing is really not as calm as it seems.
??He looked down at the envelope, and silently wrote down the postal code and the factory serial number on the bottom of the paper. After taking a last look, he returned the envelope to Jiang Rui: "Don't think too much, maybe it's a prank."
??Jiang Rui was disappointed, looked at the few lines on the letter, and whispered: "What can I do to play a prank, as long as I see him, I can do anything..."
??Li Muze felt a little uncomfortable, glanced away, and tried to change the subject: "When did you come back? Did you go to see the teacher?"
??Jiang Rui smiled wryly, pointed to the clothes on his body that he hadn't had time to change, and said: "I contacted my senior brother after landing this morning's flight, and I haven't had time to visit the teacher yet."
?? Li Muze said: "Go and have a look when you have time. The teacher knows that you are traveling abroad alone, so I am quite worried."
"Okay senior brother, I understand." Jiang Rui suppressed the sadness in his heart and tried to show a gentle smile.
??In an instant, he was suddenly attracted by the drawing paper placed on the coffee table, his eyes lit up, and he was a little curious, "Brother, did you draw this?"
?? Hearing this, Li Muze noticed those pieces of drawing paper, and said without changing his expression, "Yes, I drew it."
?? "..."
?? Jiang Rui had an exclamation mark on his face, a little unbelievable.
??Although Li Dashen's art skills are definitely not bad, but the style of painting has changed suddenly, and... how can anyone paint by himself?
??Drawing in the mirror?
??A total of five oil paintings, all of which are portraits of Li Muze.
??Jiang Rui took out an observation sheet and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Muze.He said silently in his heart, he was telling his master that he was handsome without knowing it, he was so low-key that he had no friends, he never thought that he was such a narcissistic person in private.
??He touched the drawing paper, which was made of very high-quality materials. This style of painting gave him a sense of familiarity.
??Observed carefully for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, can you give me this painting?"
??Li Muze's face changed slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
??Jiang Rui hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, it's okay. I just want to collect my master's paintings. If my classmates know about it, I will be envious."
??Li Muze's face softened a little, he hesitated again and again, but still nodded: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, brother." Jiang Rui smiled and thanked, carefully rolled up the drawing paper, and put it into the backpack.
?? After the cup of tea had run out, Li Muze stood up and asked him if he wanted another cup.
??Jiang Rui shook his head and apologized repeatedly: "Don't bother senior brother. I'm really sorry for disturbing senior brother's rest today. I'll treat senior brother to dinner another day."
?? Seeing this, Li Muze didn't do much to persuade him to stay. He nodded and said "yes", and sent the person to the door in person.
?? After the people left, the smile on the corner of Li Muze's mouth slowly disappeared, his face gradually darkened, and the coldness in his eyes deepened. He sat alone in the living room thinking for a long time, recalling what happened during this period.
??Who informed Jiang Rui?
?? Could it be the group who followed him?
?? Their purpose?
??Is it because of him, or...Chu Chen??
?? After thinking quietly for a while, Li Muze rubbed the center of his brows, and decided to take the time to meet Chu Yuan and take Chu Chen in. It seemed that it was not as simple as imagined.
?? He picked up his phone, clicked on the address book, and dialed the number: "Come back."
?? On the other side, Xiao Jing responded, and then hung up neatly.
??He turned his head to look at the man beside him, and said with a smile, "Let's go, get out of the car."
??Chu Chen was unmoved, looking straight at the intersection ahead, his eyes were deep and cold: "Do you know the person who just left?"
??Xiao Jing still smiled, knowingly asked: "Who are you talking about?"
??Chu Chen turned his head, his eyes turned cold: "It's the man who walked out of Li Muze's house."
??Xiao Jing stroked his chin, thinking hard: "Let me think about it, I've seen it a few times, oh yes! A Ze's little brother."
"Junior brother..." Chu Chen lowered his eyes and muttered, "Why is he a junior again?"
?? No matter who it is, that person has already planted a thorn in his heart.
?? *
??The night is deep, and the bright moon hangs high.
??The surroundings of the villa are pitch black, only the kitchen is lit with spotlights.
?? Li Muze was standing in front of the dining table, brewing hot tea, planning to design game props all night.
?? At this moment, Li Muze could guess who it was without turning around to hear the slight sound of footsteps coming from behind.
??He said without looking back: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
??Chu Chen's depressed voice sounded: "I can't sleep."
??Ever since he came back, Chu Chen hadn't caught sight of Li Muze. Xiao Jing ran upstairs to catch up on sleep. He walked around the living room a few times. Only then did Li Muze show up.
?? "Close your eyes, and you will fall asleep." Li Muze turned his head, holding tea in his hand, and said lightly.
??Chu Chen looked at him, his eyes full of doubts and sadness: "You said to pick me up from get off work, why Xiao Jing."
?? "I have a temporary business." Li Muze had a slightly cold face, a little impatient.
??Chu Chen walked around in front of him, looked straight into his eyes, and refused to let go: "Because of that junior brother? Is he important to you?"
"What junior brother?" Li Muze felt uneasy.
??Clearly confessed to Xiao Jing to take people away, why did Chu Chen discover Jiang Rui's existence.
?? Sure enough, the next moment Chu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it all. You didn't let me come back just to see that junior brother alone, right!"
??Li Muze put down his teacup, and the meaning in his eyes was heavy, a little frightening: "Chu Chen, are you talking to me?"
??Chu Chen is not afraid: "Yes."
??Okay!It's a long time!
?? Li Muze sneered again and again: "It's not your turn to take care of anyone I see. Put yourself in the right position. It's best not to mess with me."
??After speaking, Li Muze held his teacup tightly and left the restaurant over people.
??Chu Chen stood still for a while, staring at the table in a daze, with a sore nose and wet eyes, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred.
?? This morning, Li Muze sent him to work with a smile on his face. Just a few hours ago, the other party called him Li Daidai and asked him what he would like to eat.
??He thought that the distance between him and Li Muze was getting closer.
?? But just now, he saw the familiar alienation and indifference in Li Muze's eyes, just like the feeling he felt when he first stepped into the small courtyard.
??All these changes were due to the visit of that junior brother, which made his many days of hard work useless. The relationship between him and Li Muze seemed to return to before liberation overnight, and all the warmth that had been cultivated before disappeared.
??Chu Chen subconsciously clenched his hands hanging by his side, and the moisture in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a chilling sternness.
??***
??In front of me is full of exquisite ingredients, and on the left are two boxes of unopened Wangzai milk.
??Chu Chen sat at the dining table with blank eyes, and was indifferent to the temptation of delicious food. It was obviously a good weather, but his mood was shrouded in clouds.
??Under the same roof, it seems that he and Li Muze haven't seen each other for a long time. Since the two broke up that night, Li Muze never took the initiative to look for him again.
??Maybe he was busy with the launch of the NJ project. Li Muze went out early and returned late recently. He couldn't catch anyone at all. Even Xiao Jing, who was temporarily staying overnight, couldn't be seen. He seemed to be very busy.
?? There were footsteps approaching, and Chu Chen turned his head. It was Sister Rong, the servant.
??Sister Rong put a plate of cut sushi on the empty seat on his right, with a very good attitude: "Fifth Young Master, eat some."
??Chu Chen picked up the fork, took a sip, puffed his cheeks and said, "Sister Rong, have you seen my brother?"
?? "You mean Mr. Li?" Sister Rong recalled, "Mr. Li left very early today, and he seems to be busy with company affairs recently."
"Oh." Chu Chen's eyes were full of disappointment, and he responded lightly.
??He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of breakfast, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, changed his clothes and planned to go to work.
??Before he left, he dug out a series of Wangzai from the cabinet and put them in his backpack. Suddenly realizing that his students were children, he brought a few more boxes.
??Looking at the empty milk crate, Chu Chen secretly decided that when his salary was paid, he would not only buy gifts for Li Muze, but also buy more Wangzai to stock up.
??Chu Chen is in charge of teaching a little girl to draw. After Li Muze's introduction, he has been working in No. [-], Area B for two consecutive weeks. From the beginning of being alienated from strangers, he has gradually adapted to get along with the little girl and her parents. It's also considered harmonious.
?? Facing outsiders, he is not keen on talking, and is silent most of the time, but he will do his best to impart knowledge and skills.
??The little girl is named Nana. She is very well-behaved, loves to laugh, and has a good tutor. Every time Chu Chen comes, she will greet her at the door in advance, and she will bow to say hello to the teacher.
?? Gradually, Chu Chen no longer rejected Nana's approach, but instead felt a sense of intimacy, feeling that the child was really cute and innocent.
??Good morning, Chu Chen took Nana to the familiar studio, set up the drawing board, adjusted the paint, pointed to the scenery outside the window, and began to explain the homework.
?? "We don't draw people today, let's change our style."
?? He looked at the kid next to him, and added, "Complete the task, there will be a reward."
??Nana's eyes sparkled, and she responded obediently, "Okay, teacher."
?? After a long period of silence, Chu Chen also picked up the paintbrush and began to create, and the face of that person naturally floated in his mind.
?? After a while, he was attracted by the sound of "shasha" beside him. Turning his head, he saw that the little girl was scratching her head with the tip of the paintbrush.
?? Seeing this, Chu Chen's thin lips parted slightly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
?? Nana pouted, scratched her hair and said, "Teacher, my head is itchy."
??The little girl's hair was scratched and her ponytail was loose, like a little lunatic.
??Chu Chen couldn't hide his smile, stood up and walked to her side, took the comb and began to comb her hair.
"It's so comfortable, teacher." Chu Chen's movements were very gentle, causing the little girl to squint her eyes comfortably, "It doesn't itch anymore, it was so itchy just now, thank you teacher."
"You're welcome." Chu Chen slowly helped her tie her hair tie.
??The little girl glanced wildly, and finally landed on Chu Chen's drawing board. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Teacher, you always draw that big brother. Who is he?"
??Chu Chen followed her gaze, his heartbeat accelerated a few beats, his voice became much softer, and he whispered: "The person I like."
?? "Like?" The little girl couldn't understand.
?? Chu Chen chuckled and said, "When you grow up, you will understand."
?? Nana cheered: "Wow! Then I will grow up quickly!"
??Chu Chen's expression was slightly restrained, and the roots of his ears were quietly red.
?? Nana is very talented in painting. After two hours, she has already drawn a similar outline of the beautiful scenery outside the window. During this time period, Chu Chen has already painted two portraits.
??He carefully rolled up the drawing paper, carefully put it into the backpack, took out two boxes of Wangzai milk, turned around and gave it to Nana, and said, "Reward."
??Nana threw down the paintbrush and took it over happily: "Thank you teacher!"
??Chu Chen also laughed and rubbed her soft hair: "You're welcome, you performed very well today."
??Nana blinked, she was too clever, and took the opportunity to suggest: "Then the teacher wants to praise me to my mother."
"No problem." Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
??He helped Nana tear off the transparent film on the outside of Wangzai, inserted the straw in, and handed it to Nana's lips: "Drink."
"Hmm." Nana bit the straw, made a soft sound, and murmured with lowered eyebrows, "Well... the teacher is so kind, my mother won't let me... um... ..”
??Chu Chen didn't hear clearly, lowered his head and asked, "What did you say?"
?? Just then, there was a knock on the studio door.
?? Chu Chen turned his head and saw that the hostess of the house, Nana's mother, Ms. Fu, was standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.
?? "Miss Fu, hello." Chu Chen greeted politely.
??Miss Fu's eyes fell on her daughter, and she said, "Nana."
??It was obviously a very gentle voice, but Nana shivered in fright. She hurriedly put Wangzai in her hand on the table, and picked up the paintbrush next to her, with a bitter face, as if she was waiting for criticism.
?? Chu Chen looked at the interaction between their mother and daughter, and was a little puzzled.
?? At this time, Miss Fu spoke again and said to him: "Ms. Li, can you come out for a while? Let's talk."
?? Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded and said yes.
?? The balcony on the second floor of the villa.
??Miss Fu invited Chu Chen to sit down. First, she chatted politely and asked about Nana's recent study progress.
??Chu Chen said very little, with a calm expression, and only said: "Nana is very cute and very serious."
Seeing that he is taciturn and not very good at socializing, Ms. Fu stopped playing around and went straight to the point: "Ms. Li is Mr. Li's younger brother and Mr. Li's... lover, right?"
?? If I remember correctly, these two people seem to be short of getting their certificates.
?? As soon as Li Muze was mentioned, Chu Chen changed his previous indifference, showed a nice smile, and replied in a low voice as if shy: "Well, yes."
??Miss Fu also smiled, and continued to speak: "Mr. Li and I met by chance. Mr. Li is a very nice person. It can be seen that Mr. Li is also a responsible and caring person. "
?? Hearing this, Chu Chen raised his eyes to look at her, and asked softly, "Miss Fu, what do you want to say?"
??Miss Fu chuckled, her face remained elegant, but what she said was very straightforward: "My Nana has been paying attention to diet and health since she was a child. I don't allow her to touch many children's snacks, so I hope Teacher Li, don't give her some outside food."
??Chu Chen understood. He was a little sad, but he didn't show it. He just nodded lightly: "Okay Miss Fu, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
??Thinking again, is he about to lose his job??
??If Li Muze found out, he would definitely think that he can't do anything well, and even hate him even more, thinking that he is useless.
??Chu Chen walked out of No. [-], Area B with the drawing board on his back, his eyes could not hide the loneliness.It was obviously a trivial matter, and Ms. Fu only gave a verbal warning and did not intend to fire him, but he still felt sad and depressed.
??After just two weeks of getting along, he has been influenced by Nana's cuteness, and he likes to get along with children more and more. He really likes Nana and wants to make Nana happy, but it's a pity that he has done bad things with good intentions.
??in addition!Wangzai milk is the best!
?? He does not accept any rebuttal!
?? Silently walked for a while, Chu Chen let out a breath slowly, and suddenly stopped in his footsteps.
??He suddenly turned his head, subconsciously his pupils became darker and his eyes were dark.
??Maybe an illusion, maybe a coincidence.
?? For several days, he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, but every time he turned around to take a look, there was always no one behind him.
??The quiet street, only the two rows of trees on the side of the road could hear the sparrows from time to time. Chu Chen stood there, the chill in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
?? He thinks... not an illusion.
?? At this moment, a whistle sounded from the side, and a Maybach car parked by the richest man.
??Chu Chen came back to his senses and followed the voice, only to see a man with outstanding appearance and tall stature getting out of the luxury car and walking towards him. somewhat similar?
??Come closer, observe closely for a few seconds, before Chu Chen remembered who this person was, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "You are... third brother."
?? Hearing this, Chu Yuan was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Xiao Wu, do you remember?"
??Chu Chen shook his head: "No."
?? Chu Yuan was lost for a moment, and soon recovered his smile: "It's okay, I will remember."
?? Chu Chen didn't talk to him, and he wasn't very interested in restoring his memory.
??Since knowing that this man is his third brother, he hasn't had much ups and downs in his heart. Even though Chu Yuan rushed to give him various gifts, he still can't remember the intimacy.
?? But the loss and sadness in Chu Yuan's eyes made him more or less touched.
??Perhaps because of this moment of soft-heartedness, Chu Chen, who usually doesn't like to go out, nodded and agreed to Chu Yuan's invitation.
?? Accompany the third brother to drink afternoon tea together.
??As the son of a wealthy family and the general manager who holds the economic power in his hands, Chu Yuan puts down all his figure and opens the door for his younger brother himself, smiling very gently: "Xiao Wu, take you to the club you used to go to frequently, maybe you will remember something matter."
"Thank you." Chu Chen thanked, lowered his head and got into the rear seat, through the rearview mirror, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the intersection behind him, and a black commercial vehicle flashed by.
??He suddenly poked his head out of the car window and stared at the commercial vehicle without blinking.
??Who the hell...
?? "Xiao Wu, how are you doing?"
?? "Little Five?"
?? "What are you looking at?"
?? Chu Yuan lightly touched his arm, trying to get his attention back, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did you see? Or did you remember something?"
??Chu Chen sat upright, closed the car window, and shook his head as usual: "No."
?? Chu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and turned to tell the driver to drive.
?? Along the way, the elegant and easy-going Chu Yuan became more talkative. He was very concerned about Chu Chen's recent situation, what he ate every day, and whether he was full.His eyes were glued to his younger brother's body, and he quietly observed whether the other party was thinner or had been abused. After all, Li Muze didn't have a deep friendship with him.
?? If the situation hadn't changed, he would have taken Chu Chen home a long time ago. How could he have the heart to put his brother by the side of outsiders.
??As if thinking of something bad, Chu Yuan, who was smiling just now, suddenly became deep, looking straight ahead with a solemn expression.
?? Sitting next to him, Chu Chen didn't talk much, his mind was not here at all, he was still thinking about how to stop the cold war with Li Muze.
??The car was quiet for a while, and Chu Yuan started the topic again. Looking at the drawing board and backpack beside Chu Chen, he asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, are you going out today to find inspiration? By yourself?"
??Chu Chen shook his head in denial, and told the truth: "No, I am a teacher now, teaching children to draw." At the end, he proudly added: "There is a generous salary every month."
??"what?"
??The gentle and elegant president couldn't help but raise his voice, causing the department in front couldn't help but look back.
??Chu Yuan let out a dry cough, and slowly calmed down, but still couldn't believe it: "Xiao Wu, you mean...you are teaching children how to draw?"
?? "Well," said Chu Chen, "a five-year-old girl."
??Leaving this aside, Chu Yuan was so surprised because of Chu Chen's identity.
??The genius Chu Wushao is not only the young master of the Chu family, he also has another identity.
?? That is the world-renowned, famous painter who has won numerous awards, CC.
??CC is the English abbreviation of Chu Chen's name. Every time, these two letters are left under his paintings. Although not many people know the real identity of CC, it is an open secret in the circle.
??Top painter, actually went to...
??Chu Yuan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. It was a bit exaggerated to say that he practiced Chu Chen, but you must know that with Chu Chen's identity and status, he couldn't afford it with much money.
??So who the hell came up with this bad idea??
?? He did indeed ask: "Xiao Wu, did you mean it yourself, or..."
??Compared to his fuss, Chu Chen didn't take it seriously, and replied calmly: "Li Muze, he helped me find a job."
"It really is him..." Chu Yuan gritted his teeth.
??Chu Chen continued: "He didn't agree with the job I found myself before."
"Heh..." Chu Yuan sneered, the anger in his heart could not be restrained, "Why does he disagree, Xiao Wu, tell me, what do you want to do, the third brother supports you, what was your job before?"
??Chu Chen said: "The supermarket cashier."
?? "..."
?? "... Let's be a teacher."
?? Li Muze held the phone in one hand, and took out the car keys from his pocket with the other, and finished speaking almost indifferently.
?? Xiao Jing on the other side: "???"
?? This endless explanation really makes people confused about the situation,? Xiao Jing asked: "Ah Ze, what happened?"
??Li Muze got into the car,? threw the briefcase on the passenger seat, put on the seat belt, and said to the phone: "I'll explain to you when we meet."
??End the call,?Li Muze accelerated the accelerator and drove to the townhouse area.
??Jiang Rui was born in a scholarly family,? His parents are college tutors who graduated from prestigious schools. It may be because he was nurtured since he was a child. He also has a gentle temperament of a scholar.
??From the very beginning, Li Muze was attracted by his bookish air.But it's different now, Jiang Rui has lost the gentleness and elegance of the past, and his whole body has been controlled by anxiety.
?? Li Muze met him at the door of his house. Jiang Rui's car was parked in a vacant space outside the courtyard. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
??People have arrived at the door,??It seems not very good to invite people into the house for a cup of tea.
??Li Muze first ignored the anxiety in Jiang Rui's eyes, opened the door of the small courtyard, and calmly invited: "Come and have a cup of tea first."
??Jiang Rui followed closely: "Thank you, brother."
??The distance from the door to the living room is just a few steps, and Li Muze has countless conjectures in his mind.
??Jiang Rui knew that Chu Chen was in the courtyard of the villa??
??Know that Chu Chen lost his memory?
?? Who told him?
?? If you really know,? How to deal with it?
??…
?? Li Muze slowly brewed two cups of tea, returned to the living room, and pushed one of the cups to Jiang Rui who was sitting on the sofa in a trance.
?? "Have a cup of tea and taste it. I saved some of the tea leaves I gave to the teacher last time."
??Jiang Rui came back to his senses, took a sip from his teacup, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
??It's not the first time to be a guest at Li Muze's house. From the moment he entered the door, Jiang Rui felt that something was not right.
?? There have been obvious changes in the small courtyard, such as several types of fighting equipment in the courtyard, and the locomotive parked in the corner. It doesn't fit Li Muze's style.
??Compared to Jiang Rui's full of doubts, Li Muze on the opposite side was not much better.
?? Quietly observed the change of Jiang Rui's face, trying to find a flaw.
?? Still say thank you?
??Maybe without knowing...
??Despite the inner drama, Li Muze remained calm on the surface and took the initiative to break the silence: "Why did you come back suddenly?"
?? Jiang Rui withdrew his troubled eyes and said, "Someone told me that Chu Chen is in the country and near the villa area."
??Li Muze's heart skipped a beat, he drank his green tea calmly, and frowned slightly: "Who told you?"
?? Mentioning this aspect, Jiang Rui also showed a puzzled expression: "I don't know. After arriving in country M, I first went to Mag to find someone. Not long after, I received an anonymous letter, and it was a paper quality."
?? "Anonymous letter?" Li Muze put down his teacup, stared at Jiang Rui, and frowned even tighter.
??Jiang Rui nodded, and then said: "The letter said that Chu Chen did not go abroad. He is in S City, Hongfang townhouse area. The first thing I thought of was Senior Brother. Have you seen him nearby? ?”
??A trace of doubt flashed in Li Muze's eyes. He didn't answer immediately. He remained silent for a while before saying, "No."
??Jiang Rui, who was full of anticipation, was instantly disappointed. He clasped his hands together and rubbed gently, feeling so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to cry.
"What about the letter?" Li Muze asked suddenly.
"Oh, here." Jiang Rui quickly adjusted his posture, turned sideways and opened the chain of the backpack, took out an envelope from inside, and then handed it to Li Muze, "Brother, here you are."
?? Li Muze took it, put it in his hand and looked at it several times.
??This is a very ordinary letter paper. The envelope is the most common style in the country. The words on it are also printed out by a computer. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it was mailed from China.
??No address, anonymous, and deliberately used paper envelopes.
?? From this, it can be inferred that this person knows Jiang Rui, and is also familiar with Jiang Rui's working environment and professional ability. The person who mailed this letter deliberately concealed his true identity.
??If it was sent by Internet mail, how could it have escaped Li Muze's palm??
?? Then what is the purpose of this person doing this?
??Is it just to let Jiang Rui go back to China?
?? Chu Chen's face flashed before Li Muze's eyes, and he felt that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Chen.
??Chu Chen has amnesia, it seems that the whole thing is really not as calm as it seems.
??He looked down at the envelope, and silently wrote down the postal code and the factory serial number on the bottom of the paper. After taking a last look, he returned the envelope to Jiang Rui: "Don't think too much, maybe it's a prank."
??Jiang Rui was disappointed, looked at the few lines on the letter, and whispered: "What can I do to play a prank, as long as I see him, I can do anything..."
??Li Muze felt a little uncomfortable, glanced away, and tried to change the subject: "When did you come back? Did you go to see the teacher?"
??Jiang Rui smiled wryly, pointed to the clothes on his body that he hadn't had time to change, and said: "I contacted my senior brother after landing this morning's flight, and I haven't had time to visit the teacher yet."
?? Li Muze said: "Go and have a look when you have time. The teacher knows that you are traveling abroad alone, so I am quite worried."
"Okay senior brother, I understand." Jiang Rui suppressed the sadness in his heart and tried to show a gentle smile.
??In an instant, he was suddenly attracted by the drawing paper placed on the coffee table, his eyes lit up, and he was a little curious, "Brother, did you draw this?"
?? Hearing this, Li Muze noticed those pieces of drawing paper, and said without changing his expression, "Yes, I drew it."
?? "..."
?? Jiang Rui had an exclamation mark on his face, a little unbelievable.
??Although Li Dashen's art skills are definitely not bad, but the style of painting has changed suddenly, and... how can anyone paint by himself?
??Drawing in the mirror?
??A total of five oil paintings, all of which are portraits of Li Muze.
??Jiang Rui took out an observation sheet and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Muze.He said silently in his heart, he was telling his master that he was handsome without knowing it, he was so low-key that he had no friends, he never thought that he was such a narcissistic person in private.
??He touched the drawing paper, which was made of very high-quality materials. This style of painting gave him a sense of familiarity.
??Observed carefully for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, can you give me this painting?"
??Li Muze's face changed slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
??Jiang Rui hurriedly said: "If it's inconvenient, it's okay. I just want to collect my master's paintings. If my classmates know about it, I will be envious."
??Li Muze's face softened a little, he hesitated again and again, but still nodded: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, brother." Jiang Rui smiled and thanked, carefully rolled up the drawing paper, and put it into the backpack.
?? After the cup of tea had run out, Li Muze stood up and asked him if he wanted another cup.
??Jiang Rui shook his head and apologized repeatedly: "Don't bother senior brother. I'm really sorry for disturbing senior brother's rest today. I'll treat senior brother to dinner another day."
?? Seeing this, Li Muze didn't do much to persuade him to stay. He nodded and said "yes", and sent the person to the door in person.
?? After the people left, the smile on the corner of Li Muze's mouth slowly disappeared, his face gradually darkened, and the coldness in his eyes deepened. He sat alone in the living room thinking for a long time, recalling what happened during this period.
??Who informed Jiang Rui?
?? Could it be the group who followed him?
?? Their purpose?
??Is it because of him, or...Chu Chen??
?? After thinking quietly for a while, Li Muze rubbed the center of his brows, and decided to take the time to meet Chu Yuan and take Chu Chen in. It seemed that it was not as simple as imagined.
?? He picked up his phone, clicked on the address book, and dialed the number: "Come back."
?? On the other side, Xiao Jing responded, and then hung up neatly.
??He turned his head to look at the man beside him, and said with a smile, "Let's go, get out of the car."
??Chu Chen was unmoved, looking straight at the intersection ahead, his eyes were deep and cold: "Do you know the person who just left?"
??Xiao Jing still smiled, knowingly asked: "Who are you talking about?"
??Chu Chen turned his head, his eyes turned cold: "It's the man who walked out of Li Muze's house."
??Xiao Jing stroked his chin, thinking hard: "Let me think about it, I've seen it a few times, oh yes! A Ze's little brother."
"Junior brother..." Chu Chen lowered his eyes and muttered, "Why is he a junior again?"
?? No matter who it is, that person has already planted a thorn in his heart.
?? *
??The night is deep, and the bright moon hangs high.
??The surroundings of the villa are pitch black, only the kitchen is lit with spotlights.
?? Li Muze was standing in front of the dining table, brewing hot tea, planning to design game props all night.
?? At this moment, Li Muze could guess who it was without turning around to hear the slight sound of footsteps coming from behind.
??He said without looking back: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
??Chu Chen's depressed voice sounded: "I can't sleep."
??Ever since he came back, Chu Chen hadn't caught sight of Li Muze. Xiao Jing ran upstairs to catch up on sleep. He walked around the living room a few times. Only then did Li Muze show up.
?? "Close your eyes, and you will fall asleep." Li Muze turned his head, holding tea in his hand, and said lightly.
??Chu Chen looked at him, his eyes full of doubts and sadness: "You said to pick me up from get off work, why Xiao Jing."
?? "I have a temporary business." Li Muze had a slightly cold face, a little impatient.
??Chu Chen walked around in front of him, looked straight into his eyes, and refused to let go: "Because of that junior brother? Is he important to you?"
"What junior brother?" Li Muze felt uneasy.
??Clearly confessed to Xiao Jing to take people away, why did Chu Chen discover Jiang Rui's existence.
?? Sure enough, the next moment Chu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it all. You didn't let me come back just to see that junior brother alone, right!"
??Li Muze put down his teacup, and the meaning in his eyes was heavy, a little frightening: "Chu Chen, are you talking to me?"
??Chu Chen is not afraid: "Yes."
??Okay!It's a long time!
?? Li Muze sneered again and again: "It's not your turn to take care of anyone I see. Put yourself in the right position. It's best not to mess with me."
??After speaking, Li Muze held his teacup tightly and left the restaurant over people.
??Chu Chen stood still for a while, staring at the table in a daze, with a sore nose and wet eyes, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred.
?? This morning, Li Muze sent him to work with a smile on his face. Just a few hours ago, the other party called him Li Daidai and asked him what he would like to eat.
??He thought that the distance between him and Li Muze was getting closer.
?? But just now, he saw the familiar alienation and indifference in Li Muze's eyes, just like the feeling he felt when he first stepped into the small courtyard.
??All these changes were due to the visit of that junior brother, which made his many days of hard work useless. The relationship between him and Li Muze seemed to return to before liberation overnight, and all the warmth that had been cultivated before disappeared.
??Chu Chen subconsciously clenched his hands hanging by his side, and the moisture in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a chilling sternness.
??***
??In front of me is full of exquisite ingredients, and on the left are two boxes of unopened Wangzai milk.
??Chu Chen sat at the dining table with blank eyes, and was indifferent to the temptation of delicious food. It was obviously a good weather, but his mood was shrouded in clouds.
??Under the same roof, it seems that he and Li Muze haven't seen each other for a long time. Since the two broke up that night, Li Muze never took the initiative to look for him again.
??Maybe he was busy with the launch of the NJ project. Li Muze went out early and returned late recently. He couldn't catch anyone at all. Even Xiao Jing, who was temporarily staying overnight, couldn't be seen. He seemed to be very busy.
?? There were footsteps approaching, and Chu Chen turned his head. It was Sister Rong, the servant.
??Sister Rong put a plate of cut sushi on the empty seat on his right, with a very good attitude: "Fifth Young Master, eat some."
??Chu Chen picked up the fork, took a sip, puffed his cheeks and said, "Sister Rong, have you seen my brother?"
?? "You mean Mr. Li?" Sister Rong recalled, "Mr. Li left very early today, and he seems to be busy with company affairs recently."
"Oh." Chu Chen's eyes were full of disappointment, and he responded lightly.
??He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of breakfast, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, changed his clothes and planned to go to work.
??Before he left, he dug out a series of Wangzai from the cabinet and put them in his backpack. Suddenly realizing that his students were children, he brought a few more boxes.
??Looking at the empty milk crate, Chu Chen secretly decided that when his salary was paid, he would not only buy gifts for Li Muze, but also buy more Wangzai to stock up.
??Chu Chen is in charge of teaching a little girl to draw. After Li Muze's introduction, he has been working in No. [-], Area B for two consecutive weeks. From the beginning of being alienated from strangers, he has gradually adapted to get along with the little girl and her parents. It's also considered harmonious.
?? Facing outsiders, he is not keen on talking, and is silent most of the time, but he will do his best to impart knowledge and skills.
??The little girl is named Nana. She is very well-behaved, loves to laugh, and has a good tutor. Every time Chu Chen comes, she will greet her at the door in advance, and she will bow to say hello to the teacher.
?? Gradually, Chu Chen no longer rejected Nana's approach, but instead felt a sense of intimacy, feeling that the child was really cute and innocent.
??Good morning, Chu Chen took Nana to the familiar studio, set up the drawing board, adjusted the paint, pointed to the scenery outside the window, and began to explain the homework.
?? "We don't draw people today, let's change our style."
?? He looked at the kid next to him, and added, "Complete the task, there will be a reward."
??Nana's eyes sparkled, and she responded obediently, "Okay, teacher."
?? After a long period of silence, Chu Chen also picked up the paintbrush and began to create, and the face of that person naturally floated in his mind.
?? After a while, he was attracted by the sound of "shasha" beside him. Turning his head, he saw that the little girl was scratching her head with the tip of the paintbrush.
?? Seeing this, Chu Chen's thin lips parted slightly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
?? Nana pouted, scratched her hair and said, "Teacher, my head is itchy."
??The little girl's hair was scratched and her ponytail was loose, like a little lunatic.
??Chu Chen couldn't hide his smile, stood up and walked to her side, took the comb and began to comb her hair.
"It's so comfortable, teacher." Chu Chen's movements were very gentle, causing the little girl to squint her eyes comfortably, "It doesn't itch anymore, it was so itchy just now, thank you teacher."
"You're welcome." Chu Chen slowly helped her tie her hair tie.
??The little girl glanced wildly, and finally landed on Chu Chen's drawing board. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Teacher, you always draw that big brother. Who is he?"
??Chu Chen followed her gaze, his heartbeat accelerated a few beats, his voice became much softer, and he whispered: "The person I like."
?? "Like?" The little girl couldn't understand.
?? Chu Chen chuckled and said, "When you grow up, you will understand."
?? Nana cheered: "Wow! Then I will grow up quickly!"
??Chu Chen's expression was slightly restrained, and the roots of his ears were quietly red.
?? Nana is very talented in painting. After two hours, she has already drawn a similar outline of the beautiful scenery outside the window. During this time period, Chu Chen has already painted two portraits.
??He carefully rolled up the drawing paper, carefully put it into the backpack, took out two boxes of Wangzai milk, turned around and gave it to Nana, and said, "Reward."
??Nana threw down the paintbrush and took it over happily: "Thank you teacher!"
??Chu Chen also laughed and rubbed her soft hair: "You're welcome, you performed very well today."
??Nana blinked, she was too clever, and took the opportunity to suggest: "Then the teacher wants to praise me to my mother."
"No problem." Chu Chen nodded in agreement.
??He helped Nana tear off the transparent film on the outside of Wangzai, inserted the straw in, and handed it to Nana's lips: "Drink."
"Hmm." Nana bit the straw, made a soft sound, and murmured with lowered eyebrows, "Well... the teacher is so kind, my mother won't let me... um... ..”
??Chu Chen didn't hear clearly, lowered his head and asked, "What did you say?"
?? Just then, there was a knock on the studio door.
?? Chu Chen turned his head and saw that the hostess of the house, Nana's mother, Ms. Fu, was standing at the door, looking at them with a smile.
?? "Miss Fu, hello." Chu Chen greeted politely.
??Miss Fu's eyes fell on her daughter, and she said, "Nana."
??It was obviously a very gentle voice, but Nana shivered in fright. She hurriedly put Wangzai in her hand on the table, and picked up the paintbrush next to her, with a bitter face, as if she was waiting for criticism.
?? Chu Chen looked at the interaction between their mother and daughter, and was a little puzzled.
?? At this time, Miss Fu spoke again and said to him: "Ms. Li, can you come out for a while? Let's talk."
?? Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded and said yes.
?? The balcony on the second floor of the villa.
??Miss Fu invited Chu Chen to sit down. First, she chatted politely and asked about Nana's recent study progress.
??Chu Chen said very little, with a calm expression, and only said: "Nana is very cute and very serious."
Seeing that he is taciturn and not very good at socializing, Ms. Fu stopped playing around and went straight to the point: "Ms. Li is Mr. Li's younger brother and Mr. Li's... lover, right?"
?? If I remember correctly, these two people seem to be short of getting their certificates.
?? As soon as Li Muze was mentioned, Chu Chen changed his previous indifference, showed a nice smile, and replied in a low voice as if shy: "Well, yes."
??Miss Fu also smiled, and continued to speak: "Mr. Li and I met by chance. Mr. Li is a very nice person. It can be seen that Mr. Li is also a responsible and caring person. "
?? Hearing this, Chu Chen raised his eyes to look at her, and asked softly, "Miss Fu, what do you want to say?"
??Miss Fu chuckled, her face remained elegant, but what she said was very straightforward: "My Nana has been paying attention to diet and health since she was a child. I don't allow her to touch many children's snacks, so I hope Teacher Li, don't give her some outside food."
??Chu Chen understood. He was a little sad, but he didn't show it. He just nodded lightly: "Okay Miss Fu, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
??Thinking again, is he about to lose his job??
??If Li Muze found out, he would definitely think that he can't do anything well, and even hate him even more, thinking that he is useless.
??Chu Chen walked out of No. [-], Area B with the drawing board on his back, his eyes could not hide the loneliness.It was obviously a trivial matter, and Ms. Fu only gave a verbal warning and did not intend to fire him, but he still felt sad and depressed.
??After just two weeks of getting along, he has been influenced by Nana's cuteness, and he likes to get along with children more and more. He really likes Nana and wants to make Nana happy, but it's a pity that he has done bad things with good intentions.
??in addition!Wangzai milk is the best!
?? He does not accept any rebuttal!
?? Silently walked for a while, Chu Chen let out a breath slowly, and suddenly stopped in his footsteps.
??He suddenly turned his head, subconsciously his pupils became darker and his eyes were dark.
??Maybe an illusion, maybe a coincidence.
?? For several days, he always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him behind him, but every time he turned around to take a look, there was always no one behind him.
??The quiet street, only the two rows of trees on the side of the road could hear the sparrows from time to time. Chu Chen stood there, the chill in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
?? He thinks... not an illusion.
?? At this moment, a whistle sounded from the side, and a Maybach car parked by the richest man.
??Chu Chen came back to his senses and followed the voice, only to see a man with outstanding appearance and tall stature getting out of the luxury car and walking towards him. somewhat similar?
??Come closer, observe closely for a few seconds, before Chu Chen remembered who this person was, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "You are... third brother."
?? Hearing this, Chu Yuan was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Xiao Wu, do you remember?"
??Chu Chen shook his head: "No."
?? Chu Yuan was lost for a moment, and soon recovered his smile: "It's okay, I will remember."
?? Chu Chen didn't talk to him, and he wasn't very interested in restoring his memory.
??Since knowing that this man is his third brother, he hasn't had much ups and downs in his heart. Even though Chu Yuan rushed to give him various gifts, he still can't remember the intimacy.
?? But the loss and sadness in Chu Yuan's eyes made him more or less touched.
??Perhaps because of this moment of soft-heartedness, Chu Chen, who usually doesn't like to go out, nodded and agreed to Chu Yuan's invitation.
?? Accompany the third brother to drink afternoon tea together.
??As the son of a wealthy family and the general manager who holds the economic power in his hands, Chu Yuan puts down all his figure and opens the door for his younger brother himself, smiling very gently: "Xiao Wu, take you to the club you used to go to frequently, maybe you will remember something matter."
"Thank you." Chu Chen thanked, lowered his head and got into the rear seat, through the rearview mirror, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the intersection behind him, and a black commercial vehicle flashed by.
??He suddenly poked his head out of the car window and stared at the commercial vehicle without blinking.
??Who the hell...
?? "Xiao Wu, how are you doing?"
?? "Little Five?"
?? "What are you looking at?"
?? Chu Yuan lightly touched his arm, trying to get his attention back, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did you see? Or did you remember something?"
??Chu Chen sat upright, closed the car window, and shook his head as usual: "No."
?? Chu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and turned to tell the driver to drive.
?? Along the way, the elegant and easy-going Chu Yuan became more talkative. He was very concerned about Chu Chen's recent situation, what he ate every day, and whether he was full.His eyes were glued to his younger brother's body, and he quietly observed whether the other party was thinner or had been abused. After all, Li Muze didn't have a deep friendship with him.
?? If the situation hadn't changed, he would have taken Chu Chen home a long time ago. How could he have the heart to put his brother by the side of outsiders.
??As if thinking of something bad, Chu Yuan, who was smiling just now, suddenly became deep, looking straight ahead with a solemn expression.
?? Sitting next to him, Chu Chen didn't talk much, his mind was not here at all, he was still thinking about how to stop the cold war with Li Muze.
??The car was quiet for a while, and Chu Yuan started the topic again. Looking at the drawing board and backpack beside Chu Chen, he asked curiously, "Xiao Wu, are you going out today to find inspiration? By yourself?"
??Chu Chen shook his head in denial, and told the truth: "No, I am a teacher now, teaching children to draw." At the end, he proudly added: "There is a generous salary every month."
??"what?"
??The gentle and elegant president couldn't help but raise his voice, causing the department in front couldn't help but look back.
??Chu Yuan let out a dry cough, and slowly calmed down, but still couldn't believe it: "Xiao Wu, you mean...you are teaching children how to draw?"
?? "Well," said Chu Chen, "a five-year-old girl."
??Leaving this aside, Chu Yuan was so surprised because of Chu Chen's identity.
??The genius Chu Wushao is not only the young master of the Chu family, he also has another identity.
?? That is the world-renowned, famous painter who has won numerous awards, CC.
??CC is the English abbreviation of Chu Chen's name. Every time, these two letters are left under his paintings. Although not many people know the real identity of CC, it is an open secret in the circle.
??Top painter, actually went to...
??Chu Yuan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. It was a bit exaggerated to say that he practiced Chu Chen, but you must know that with Chu Chen's identity and status, he couldn't afford it with much money.
??So who the hell came up with this bad idea??
?? He did indeed ask: "Xiao Wu, did you mean it yourself, or..."
??Compared to his fuss, Chu Chen didn't take it seriously, and replied calmly: "Li Muze, he helped me find a job."
"It really is him..." Chu Yuan gritted his teeth.
??Chu Chen continued: "He didn't agree with the job I found myself before."
"Heh..." Chu Yuan sneered, the anger in his heart could not be restrained, "Why does he disagree, Xiao Wu, tell me, what do you want to do, the third brother supports you, what was your job before?"
??Chu Chen said: "The supermarket cashier."
?? "..."
?? "... Let's be a teacher."
