Promised period

Saturday was a busy day.

First, she asked Cheng Yi'an to pick up Xiao Jiu for her. When asked why, Song Ke hesitated and replied, "I have something to do and I can't go."

"What is more important than picking up your heart? It has been in prison for two weeks in the pet store, and the person it most wants to see must be you."

He had no choice but to perfunctory: "I will definitely kiss it when I go back."

"Thank goodness you didn't starve it!"

Whose cat is it? Why are all my friends more nervous than myself?After putting down the phone, Song Ke asked the nurse for leave, and drove straight to the nearby shopping mall.

I haven't been shopping for a long time, especially when I'm alone.

In my impression, this comprehensive shopping mall named Jinmao was newly opened not long ago, but I didn't expect to come here to have a look, and they were already having a carnival for the third anniversary.

Are birthdays popular in shopping malls now?

The car parked on the second basement floor, and the elevator was always overcrowded after waiting several times.It coincides with the weekend, and most of the whole family is out here, pushing baby carriages, couples holding hands, and even those with big bellies come to shop.

Song Ke was alone, and she was embarrassed to break up any couple, so she took the escalator and went up slowly.When I reached the first floor, someone stuffed a leaflet into my arms——

Store value of [-] and get [-] free, all merchants with star marks can spend, and enjoy double points and ten free parking.

Suddenly, I remembered that I went for a walk in the shopping mall after eating barbecue with Chen Jue.It was still summer at that time, and it was hot and sweaty after walking a few steps outside. The two rushed into the shopping mall as if they had found their parents again, and they stayed here, turning and turning, turning and turning, from sunset to moonrise.

I remember that night, the silver moon was like a plate, hanging far away in the sky, but it was silent.

Chen Jue was trying on leather shoes in a luxury store on the first floor. I don't know how much money he had spent in the past. The clerk recognized him at a glance and was very busy serving tea and biscuits.

Song Ke was not interested in these, so she read the magazines in the rest area.After trying it, Chen Jue didn't buy it. He took his hand and left the store calmly. The clerk still bowed to say goodbye.

After walking far away, Song Ke chuckled: "It's the first time I see someone bowing when seeing off guests. Don't mention it, it's a bit unlucky."

Chen Jue squeezed his face tightly: "Just curse me."

The two almost got into a fight on the escalator.After laughing and laughing, Song Ke asked, "Why didn't you buy it just now? I think your second pair is quite suitable."

Chen Jue put his hands in his trouser pockets, raised his chin slightly and looked over: "It's not just the second pair, your boyfriend is a natural clothes hanger, whichever pair you wear will suit you."

Song Ke smiled and turned her head away to ignore him, but heard him lazily explaining: "Actually, it's just like that. I don't think it's very pretty. Besides, we can't afford to buy too much of our little crappy house."

It was only later that I found out that he had confessed to his father about their relationship, and his father froze the secondary card in a rage.Ruiyan's meager profit was stretched after paying the office rent, but the company was burning money every day.He was afraid that Song Ke would be worried, so he sold two cars a long time ago to pay his salary, so he didn't have any spare time to buy any clothes.

When I came back to my senses, I had already recharged at the cash register.

Holding a membership card worth 5000 yuan, Song Ke was a little at a loss.It's too extravagant, so much money is enough to buy clothes for a year.

But involuntarily walked into that luxury store.

Not only the clerks, but the displays inside have been changed a few times, only the bronzing logo is still prominently pasted on the door.

After entering, he shyly picked out a pair of shoes, and when he asked the price, he was so expensive.But the clerk was very good at marketing, and repeatedly persuaded him to pay the bill, saying for a while, "Your clothes are a living sign of our house", and for a while, "There is a discount today. If you miss it, you can only wait for another year."

Helpless, he paid the bill obediently.When I swiped the card, I found out that the so-called discount was only 95% off, but the packaging was exquisite and luxurious, which made people know that it was worth a lot of money.

Chen Jue was taken advantage of in the past, right?

Song Ke was not used to being so ostentatious, so she just exchanged the points in her card for a thermos cup and gave her a paper bag, so she naturally threw away the shopping bag with high added value.

It was still early, so he went to the third floor to order a cake, and returned to the hospital by moonlight at nearly nine o'clock.

There was no dream that night.

The next morning the nurse came to check his wound for the last time, and when he opened the door and walked in, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hehe, I've been watching you in hospital gown for a long time, and I'm not used to the sudden change of clothes."

Song Ke smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that I'm not used to it, but that it's not suitable." He just bought this dress yesterday, and the price is so high that it exceeds the usual consumption level.

"Where is it? It's suitable, it's very spiritual."

A light gray turtleneck sweater was used as the base, and a heather gray mid-length windbreaker was put on outside. The shades of gray are obviously very simple, but they make him look tall and straight, especially from the neck to the shoulders. Thin and graceful, with outstanding temperament.

"An appointment tonight?"

"Ah."

The nurse jokingly said, "Is it Ms. Chen again?"

Song Ke smiled lightly: "It's not Ms. Chen, it's Mr. Chen."

"President Chen..."

An expression that didn't dare to make mistakes.

"I'm a little scared of him."

The corner of Song Ke's mouth raised slightly: "Why, he was more fierce than you?"

But she denied it flatly: "That's not true, but he was hospitalized in our international department before, you know that."

It was the time when the accident happened.

"I have a classmate who works there on shifts. It is said that he couldn't accept the reality in the first few days after waking up. He threw things and smashed glasses in the ward every now and then, making doctors and nurses afraid to go in."

"No one can easily accept the reality of amnesia." Song Ke said softly.

The nurse pursed her lips and shook her head in denial: "You are mistaken. It's not that Mr. Chen can't accept it and don't remember, it's that he can't accept his mother's death. It's really strange to say that it happened in the past three years. Why does he remember his father's death, but not... I heard that it was his stepmother, but thinking about it, Mr. Chen really values ​​love and righteousness, even his stepmother thinks so much about it."

Of course Song Ke knew what she said, but she hadn't thought of it for a long time.When someone mentions it again, the memory hits like an overwhelming mountain.

After the nurse left, he stayed alone in the ward, with his packed luggage lying aside.After returning to his senses for a long time, seeing the new pair of shoes on his feet, he felt a sudden pain in his heart, and quickly changed them out silently.

Don't do this, Song Ke, you promised Chen Nian, never let him remember it.

Sitting withered until dusk, the heater blows people drowsy.He hugged his knees and waited quietly, feeling drowsy while waiting, his head kept tilting down. After an unknown amount of time, his forehead was suddenly held by a hand.

Suddenly waking up, Chen Jue frowned and looked at him in front of him.

"can you sleep in such condition?"

The evening sun outside the window shone on Chen Jue's face and coat, as warm as the fire from a fireplace, illuminating the deepest dark corners of Song Ke's heart.

"How did you come?"

The tone was too intimate, and he regretted his slip of the tongue as soon as he said it.Chen Jue was also stunned for a moment, staring at him with strange eyes.He got up in a hurry: "Sorry Mr. Chen, I fell asleep just now."

"It's okay. Chen Nian said that your car is limited today, let me come and pick you up."

Song Ke nodded slightly, and walked out with him without saying a word.

In the parking lot at the southeast corner, the black Maybach is dormant quietly.

After getting into the car, I realized that the car had not turned off the engine, and the small space was blown like a spring day by the warm wind.The warm wind seemed to blow into Song Ke's heart, and his internal organs stretched out in comfort, and his face was not as pale as before.

When the lights come on, the street scene is bustling and bright.

"You don't have to worry about Hewei." Chen Jue said, "The evidence is solid, and the police will not let him go."

Song Ke hummed: "I'm not worried."

Chen Jue smiled: "Where do you live now?"

Song Ke was taken aback by the question.

Yeah, he doesn't remember.

He doesn't remember how much time they spent in that house, he doesn't remember that he almost set the kitchen on fire when he was cooking, he doesn't remember getting up in the middle of the night to fight mosquitoes in summer, and covering his hands before going to bed in winter, all of this, he doesn't remember .

"I live in the south of the city, near the Fourth Primary School."

It's just a very general direction, but Chen Juemo was silent for a moment, and suddenly responded calmly: "I've been there before."

Song Ke looked at him in astonishment through the rearview mirror.

"One night I drove for a drive, and I got there after I drove." He looked straight ahead, with a self-deprecating tone, "It's like hitting an evil."

Song Ke's heart almost stopped beating, and her body was too stiff to move.

Chen Jue didn't notice anything strange next to him.There was a gap ahead, he saw the opportunity to pass two cars, and then continued: "Sometimes I wonder if I have lived there before, I seem to know the roads there very well, and I can't get lost even with my eyes closed .”

The air is stagnant and quiet, so quiet that you can even hear your breathing.

"The urban area is so big, maybe Mr. Chen has actually been there before."

Chen Jue smiled: "Maybe, forget it, I can't tell you clearly. I just feel that something important happened in the past three years. It was so important that my mind forgot my body but not my body."

Song Ke really couldn't tell whether those trivial pasts were important to Chen Jue.He was silent, but his heart was twitching.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jue asked abruptly, "Song Ke, do you love my sister?"

Song Ke looked sideways, and Chen Jue smiled again: "Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to test you, I just want to know what it's like to love someone."

"How could Mr. Chen not know..."

"To be honest, I really don't know." Today he seemed to have something on his mind, and bumped into Song Ke by mistake, so he poured out endlessly, "People like me want to get a job that is not adulterated." Love is harder than going to heaven. I know my own affairs. If I didn’t have a few banknotes in my pocket, who would be willing to stay with someone like me? There is no guarantee at all.”

Your kind?What kind?

Song Ke said, "Mr. Chen, I don't understand."

"I mean, maybe one day I will die, and I will never be in this world."

His tone was joking, but it sounded real.Song Ke didn't understand why he had such emotion, so she could only look at him as hard as she could, trying to see all the thoughts in his heart clearly.But the sky had already dimmed, and the lights in the car were not turned on. The last bit of the setting sun shone on his face, and his outline was blurred.

Perhaps people who have died once will always have more inner feelings than others.

Arriving at the restaurant, the waiter led them to a seat by the window.There are mostly couples or families in the store, and it is not common for two men like them to come together.

After sitting down, the menu was delivered, and Chen Jue said without looking at it: "I can eat anything, just look at it, Song Ke, I will pay for today's meal."

Song Ke took off the scarf: "Agreed that I will invite you, Mr. Chen, don't argue with me."

Chen Jue didn't speak, and took a sip of water calmly.

Normally, if he made such an expression, he would either dig a hole for someone to jump into, or hold back his anger and wait for someone to find out.Sure enough, Song Ke soon saw the clue.

Although the menu is full of porridge and side dishes, such as boat porridge, crab noodle wonton, and Liao ginseng corn paste, the prices are not at all affordable. Let alone shark fin rice, even a bowl of millet porridge dares to charge three figures!

Seeing that his brows were getting tighter and tighter, Chen Jue joked lazily on the opposite side: "I told you that I'm treating you, so why don't you think about it for so long."

It seems to be the same vicious style as when he blackmailed him for hot pot.

Song Ke's face turned green: "Why don't you change to another one, I know that there is a good claypot rice in the nearby alley."

Chen Juelang laughed loudly: "Okay, let's go, I declare in advance that my car does not have to be repaired in China. If the paint is rubbed off in the alley, the toll back to the factory will cost more than 2 yuan."

Hearing this, Song Ke's heart dripped with blood: "Okay, okay, just eat this."

It took over an hour for a meal.

This place dares to charge high prices, of course, has its advantages, not to mention the service, the taste of the dishes is indeed excellent.The crab shreds are freshly picked, and the wontons are freshly wrapped. The skin is chewy and the fillings are delicious.

Song Ke was just recovering from a serious injury and couldn't eat much, but Chen Jue seemed to have a good appetite. The two chatted while eating, and in the end they ate crab noodles twice.

The second time I served wonton, the hot soup was emitting white smoke, and Chen Jue couldn't help touching his earlobe as soon as he took it.

When they lived together before, they didn't like to cook. He always cooked instant noodles when he was hungry at night.However, his pickiness is reflected in all aspects. Instant noodles must be boiled in a pot and not soaked in water, and luncheon meat, sun-dried eggs and boiled chicken feathers must be added.After cooking, he likes to bring the snow pan to the living room, eat while blowing, and blow while eating. Occasionally, he will pinch his earlobe immediately when he is burned by the side of the pot, exactly the same as now.

Probably being stared at for too long, Chen Jue held his chopsticks and raised his head, teasing half-truthfully: "I ate two bowls of wonton, did it hurt you so much?"

Song Ke came back to her senses, lowered her head and laughed silently: "Why do I feel sorry for Mr. Chen paying the bill? You said it yourself, and there are still a few banknotes in your pocket."

"Okay, you, start to provoke me with words." Chen Jue's mouth slightly raised, and the tip of his chopsticks pointed threateningly, "I won't be fooled by you, you have to pay for today's meal. Waiter, another bowl of sea cucumber and abalone porridge! "

"Hey!" Song Ke hurriedly stopped him, and knocked off his chopsticks in a hurry, and the two laughed again to pick them up.Their eyes met under the table suddenly, and Chen Jue looked at him fixedly, making his heart pounding.

Picking up the chopsticks and straightening up, the smile on Chen Jue's face had already disappeared.Song Ke looked directly at him for a moment, always feeling that he had something to say to her, but was still waiting for the opportunity to speak.

"Do you want to add something?" Chen Jue asked.

"No need, I'm already full."

Chen Jue nodded: "Just eat enough."

In the end, Song Ke was the first to pick it out: "By the way, Mr. Chen, you said something else that day. I don't know what it is?"

"No hurry, we'll talk after we finish eating."

But it's been so long...

For some reason, Song Ke suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and just sat there motionless.

Seeing that he refused to move his chopsticks, Chen Jue slowly put down his chopsticks, took out a cigarette and squeezed it in his hand.The fingers on the cigarette case are slender and strong, but there is an obvious scar on the tiger's mouth, which was injured when playing roller skating with the youngest daughter of the management.

Song Ke was fascinated until Chen Jue called him, "Song Ke."

"Ok?"

"Sorry about the phone."

His eyes trembled slightly, and he watched Chen Jue take out the mobile phone without knowing why.Take it over and see that the screen can actually light up.

"Have you taken it to repair it?" He was overjoyed for a moment, and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, "I really appreciate it this time, and I'm worried that I won't be able to repair it when the time comes—"

It was only halfway through the speech that something was wrong.

The phone is empty, like a new one.I searched over and over again, but I couldn't find the original programs.

He raised his eyes, but his eyes were empty: "This is not my mobile phone, is it a mistake for Mr. Chen... There are a lot of things in my mobile phone, including the software I installed, and—"

"I deleted it."

He looked at Chen Jue in astonishment.

Chen Jue leaned against the back of the chair, lowered his head, and seemed to be casually turning the cigarette case in his hand: "When I saw you today, I just wanted to make things clear in person. Chen Nian has been spoiled by us since he was a child, and he always does things as he pleases regardless of the consequences." , I am her elder brother, so I have to think more about her."

Song Ke's voice was suddenly soft like a thread: "So you deleted it?"

Chen Jue's gaze was always focused on the movement of his hands: "You can rest assured, I didn't look at it when I deleted it, your privacy is always your privacy."

Song Ke didn't seem to hear his explanation, and got up the next moment: "Why do you touch my things?"

His voice was trembling and high, as if the original thread had snapped.Chen Jue probably didn't expect him to react so strongly, raised his eyes and pressed a few cold lines on his forehead, "Listen to me."

"I asked why you moved my things!"

Two waiters surrounded him, wanting to persuade him but did not dare to act rashly, so they could only stand aside embarrassingly.

Chen Jue was still sitting on the chair, but his expression became sharper and sharper.Song Ke was in a hurry, crossed the table and grabbed his collar, the movement was so loud that the legs of the chair made a sharp noise: "What right do you have to touch my mobile phone, what right do you not discuss with me, and delete my most important files privately?" thing?"

"You don't need such a mobile phone." Chen Jue couldn't bear to shake off his hand.

Song Ke hadn't fully recovered from her health, and just before she fell, she could barely hold onto the edge of the table with her ten fingers.But when he twisted his head, his eyes were full of stubborn persistence, and only his trembling voice revealed his excited heart:

"It's just a mobile phone, Mr. Chen said it so easily. Do you know what it means to me? Because of it, I don't have to hide when someone stabs me with a knife. When it comes to Mr. Chen, it's just a mobile phone... What's more I told you a long time ago, no, there is nothing in it, why do you just refuse to believe me? Is it true that only family is important in your heart, and anyone else can sacrifice anything? "

Chen Jue is not a person without manners, but he still changed his face when he was asked so aggressively.He frowned and asked sternly, "Shouldn't it be like this?"

Just a few words left Song Ke speechless.

That's right, that's his sister, his only relative, what am I?

Song Ke stood there with ashen face, unable to say another word.The surrounding guests turned their heads when they heard the quarrel, looked here intentionally or unintentionally, and talked about this man who lost his composure from a distance.

"Pay the bill." Chen Jue said in a deep voice.

"Please wait……"

Putting down the receipt, the waiter wanted to help Song Ke, but he pushed him away as soon as he stretched out his hand.Looking away from the white tablecloth, Song Ke's gaze slowly moved to Chen Jue's face in a trance.

Chen Jue kept a cold face and didn't even look at him.

At that moment Song Ke felt very tired.His head was dizzy, his body only felt cold, and he could hardly look at Chen Jue for another second, so he let go of the table and staggered out.

The resolutions made again and again are always overturned by some self-righteous assumptions.He always thought that he was not greedy, and thought that as long as he could see Chen Jue again and hear Chen Jue talking to him again, he would have the courage to continue in life.

Today, this fantasy is once again broken by reality.

He finally left, but the atmosphere at the table was still almost frozen.Chen Jue sat in his seat with a livid face, and didn't respond until the waiter urged him for the second time.

"Do you still need to see the bill?"

"no need."

Chen Jue lowered his head, and before his hand touched the side pocket of his coat, a scream came from the door: "It's bad! Someone fainted!"
