Aromatherapy

Li Xinyun seemed to hear the Arabian Nights.

Every time Chen Hongting looked at him before, no one would doubt Chen Hongting's love, but now Chen Hongting is still talking about love, and his tone is still sincere and moving, but it makes people feel absurd.

Li Xinyun couldn't believe it.

"You love me?" Li Xinyun felt that this was too absurd, even if Chen Hongting lied to Li Xinyun for Lin Jingxian, it was more convincing than this reason.Li Xinyun couldn't figure it out more and more, "Why?"

Chen Hongting was silent for a while, as if he was preparing an answer. Li Xinyun looked at Chen Hongting, imagining what kind of lies he was going to make up to deal with him, but he heard him ask: "Ayun, do you know what the first time we met? Is it time?"

Following his questioning, Li Xinyun recalled the first time he met after waking up in the hospital. At that time, he was only shocked by the appearance of the man he saw for the first time when he opened his eyes.

But he didn't know until now that from that moment on, he had fallen into a beautiful trap.

But Chen Hongting asked the question, but did not wait for Li Xinyun's answer, but continued: "The first time we met was in Jiuqiao Town."

"What?" Li Xinyun was extremely shocked, "How is it possible..."

"It's just that you have completely forgotten about it," Chen Hongting looked extremely disappointed, "You have already forgotten everything related to me."

Li Xinyun was at a loss for a moment, Jiuqiao Town?He never went back to Jiuqiao Town after he became an adult, how could he meet Chen Hongting there?Moreover, no matter where he met such an eye-catching person as Chen Hongting, it is absolutely impossible to forget him—no, it is possible, Li Xinyun immediately vetoed his hypothesis.He stared at Chen Hongting, his mind seemed to explode, he remembered, if Chen Hongting really met him in Jiuqiao Town, but Li Xinyun forgot, then there is only one possibility.

——When Li Xinyun was 16 years old, in the memory he lost, he once met Chen Hongting.

"Didn't I tell you when I was looking at the photo album before?" Chen Hongting said, "When I was 17 years old, I had a car accident and injured my legs. I was sent to Jiuqiao Town to recuperate."

Li Xinyun immediately remembered the photo of Chen Hongting when he was a teenager, and the beautiful and gloomy boy in the photo.

Under the bright light, Chen Hongting's face gradually overlapped with the boy in the yellowed old photo.

"At that time, for my father, the biggest regret was probably that I did not die in a car accident with my mother. After I couldn't wait to marry his first love and welcome back his illegitimate child, I became the last That person is an eyesore, so, in the name of rest, he sent me to the old house of the Chen family in Jiuqiao Town—”

Something seemed to flash across Li Xinyun's mind, but he didn't catch it, and there was still nothing but a blank.

"That was the worst period of my life. At that time, I never thought that it would become the best period of my life." Chen Hongting looked straight at Li Xinyun, with a gentle voice, as if confiding his heart , "Because I met you, Ayun."

The possibility that flashed through Li Xinyun's mind was verified.

His brain didn't have that kind of dramatic headache. Even though the answer to the possible past of him and Chen Hongting has been confirmed, the 16-year-old memory in Li Xinyun's mind is still blank, without any harmony. Relevant memories of Chen Hongting emerged.

Even so, Li Xinyun couldn't help but start to imagine, what would happen if he met Chen Hongting in that old photo when he was 16 years old?Where will he meet Chen Hongting?Where will he meet Chen Hongting?

Li Xinyun has little impression of the scenery of Jiuqiao Town. All he can remember is a river flowing around the city, people who are lazy and doing nothing all day long, and the sunshine that shines almost all year round... And, there is that tree. The bitter orange tree in the famous haunted courtyard in the town, where would he see the shadow of Chen Hongting?

For Li Xinyun, Jiuqiao Town does not have much sense of belonging—although in fact he probably does not have a sense of belonging anywhere, and he may have had it in Chen Hongting, even with the identity of "Rong Yun".

But now even that is false.

So now what Chen Hongting said is true?Li Xinyun lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that Chen Hongting was holding with him. He felt that his hand was almost numb from Chen Hongting's grip. He asked sarcastically: "I don't remember everything when I was 16 years old." Now, who knows if what you said is true or not?"

"I know, you won't believe me anymore," Chen Hongting said, "How much do you remember about that kidnapping case at that time?"

Li Xinyun was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while to realize that the kidnapping case that Chen Hongting mentioned was due to Li Xinyun's "brave deeds" caused Li Xinyun to lose his memory.

But for the memory of the kidnapping case, Li Xinyun has no memory at all. All his knowledge of this incident comes from his adoptive mother's report. How and why the kidnapping case happened, and why he participated in it, Li Xinyun no matter what. I can't even remember it. Normally speaking, this kind of amnesia caused by external force will usually recover with the recovery of the body, but Li Xinyun can't remember it all the time.His adoptive mother took him to see a doctor. The doctor said that it was probably psychogenic amnesia. He might have experienced such a murderous case. After all, he was too young, and some traumatic stress reactions were normal, so his body activated his instincts. protection mechanism.

And Chen Hongting continued: "Lin Jingxian and the others really wanted to kill you, but they were not just for the photos you might have taken before, but for the kidnapping case that happened many years ago."

Before Li Xinyun recovered from what Chen Hongting said they had met in Jiuqiao Town, Chen Hongting revealed another earth-shattering secret—that kidnapping case had something to do with Lin Jingxian? !His brain is almost in a state of being unable to function, and he has no way to sort out the relationship. His first reaction is to think it is absurd, and he blurts out: "Lin Jing is a powerful and rich man, why is it necessary to go to Jiuqiao Town? Local kidnappers?"

But after Li Xinyun finished speaking, he realized something in a flash. He looked at Chen Hongting, and then he heard Chen Hongting say: "The person he wants to kidnap is me."

This is simply the greatest joke in the world. No matter how bad the relationship between father and son is, a father actually wants to kidnap his son?Li Xinyun felt ridiculous.

"It's probably because he never regarded me as his son. After all, I don't follow his surname. Maybe it's a long shame for him to be the son-in-law of the Chen family," Chen Hongting explained. Jingjue just said the surprise in his heart, "My mother is just a springboard for him to climb up, and so am I. After my mother passed away, her equity was divided into two, and Lin Jingxian and I each Inherited half, although he probably wanted me to die very much, but my mother had just passed away at that time, and if anything happened to me, it would be too suspicious, so he threw me into the Chen family's old house to fend for myself. Anyway, I'm underage for the time being, and he will act as the agent for everything, but before I become an adult, he will always take care of me."

It was clearly a horrific human tragedy, but Chen Hongting's expression was indifferent and calm, as if what he was talking about was not his own affairs, but some small talk that had nothing to do with him, "Of course, Lin Jingxian definitely didn't do it himself, he sent The person in question is Zhao Tong—I think you already know who this person is."

The main criminal in the "405" case, Zhao Tong.

"You probably have investigated a lot about the 405 case," Chen Hongting continued, "Lin Jing and the others first built the prototype of this underlying industrial chain. I guess, it probably started from then. At that time One of his business partners is said to have taken a fancy to me—do you know the meaning of the number 405?"

Of course Li Xinyun knew that since he talked with Lu Cong, he had inquired too much relevant information, and he was already very familiar with this case.

It is said that this case was named 405 precisely because many of the transactions in this case took place in room 405 of a hotel owned by one of Zhao Tong's lovers.

"After Zhao Tong kidnapped me, I heard he called and said that he would send me to 405 as soon as possible." Chen Hongting said calmly.

For a moment, Li Xinyun had almost completely forgotten all the deceptions Chen Hongting had made to him. He listened to Chen Hongting telling his own story, his chest tightened slightly, and his heart even ached. Painful from the horrific encounter, at this moment, he remembered the gloomy and beautiful boy in the old photo very clearly, and he finally knew where his gloom came from.

"—Actually, I should probably be reluctant to thank Lin Jingxian for thinking of making the best use of me, otherwise Zhao Tong might not have kidnapped me. Maybe, I will never see you again, Ayun." Chen Hongting The indifferent expression disappeared, and tenderness and attachment reappeared in his eyes.

Li Xinyun tried his best to ignore the slight pain in his heart: "But... what does all this have to do with me?"

"Ayun, you saved me." Chen Hongting buried his face in Li Xinyun's lower abdomen, "This wound of yours was left for me."

Li Xinyun's heart beat violently, his temples throbbed violently, and the scar on his abdomen that had healed long ago, and even the scar had disappeared, suddenly began to hurt violently, and the pain was so painful that he almost struggled to speak: "I will save you." about you?"

Chen Hongting raised his head from his lower abdomen, looked at Li Xinyun with infinite tenderness and attachment, and repeated patiently: "Yes, Ah Yun, you saved me."

So, is this the reason why Li Xinyun felt inexplicably familiar when he saw Zhao Tong's photo?

"Even if I saved you... so what? Could it be that you... fell in love with me just because of this?" Li Xinyun still couldn't believe it.

"Of course not. At that time, I had been in love with you for a long time." Chen Hongting's eyes were extremely sincere, "We had known each other for a long time at that time, and it was you who came to find me and found out that I was kidnapped... But, then Then you lose your memory."

Li Xinyun no longer wants to distinguish between the true and false of Chen Hongting's so-called love, he questioned: "Even if I lose my memory, you can find me and explain the situation."

"Actually, I went to see you after your operation, but at that time you were injured in the brain, and the blood pressure constricted the optic nerve, so you couldn't see." Chen Hongting looked disappointed, "It's just that you had forgotten me at that time."

Li Xinyun thought for a moment, and there was indeed such a thing.At that time, after his abdominal suturing operation was completed, he woke up from the hospital bed and found that he could not see.The doctor said that because of the impact on his head, there was congested blood pressure on the optic nerve. It is normal for the eyes to lose sight for a while. With the help of medication, he will probably be able to recover soon. Li Xinyun's vision was still blurred until several days later. I was afraid that I would lose my sight, but fortunately, I gradually returned to normal.

As for what Chen Hongting said, that he came to visit Li Xinyun, it seems that there is indeed such a thing.When he just woke up after the operation, except for his adoptive mother and younger brother, and the investigating police, basically no one came to see Li Xinyun, so he still had some impressions that someone came to see him. He vaguely remembered that a young man had indeed visited his ward. After saying a few words, it has been too long, he can't remember the specific content of the conversation clearly, only remember that the boy's speech and behavior are a bit weird.

"At that time, you forgot everything. I don't know whether to feel lucky or sad... If you still remember the kidnapper, Lin Jing will not let you go. Later, he sent an assistant to give you the so-called reward. If you If you don’t accept it, he will probably suspect the authenticity of your amnesia.”

"At that time, the only thing to be thankful for was that Lin Jingxian had a problem with his body. He was suffering from severe liver cancer and had to undergo a liver transplant as soon as possible. He had a rare blood type and it was not easy to match him. However, Lin Chengye and his blood type were different, so this He needed my liver more than taking care of me once, and even knew that for many years later, he would have to take good care of my mobile liver supply bank... But, I still feel unwilling, why you just forgot about me. " Chen Hongting said disappointedly.

"Looking at the situation at the time, maybe it's better for you to forget about everything, because I couldn't protect you at that time, but I didn't expect that something would happen later - you accepted Yan Xia's commission to investigate Yang Ting's cheating, and then Once he came into Lin Jingxian's sight, he suspected that you remembered what happened back then and deliberately investigated Yang Ting, he is a suspicious person, so this time he must attack you."

Chen Hongting has explained the past in great detail, but he still hasn't given the answer to Li Xinyun's initial question.

"Since so many years have passed, you have not appeared by my side again, so why—" Li Xinyun asked in a hoarse voice, "You have to appear again, why didn't you tell me the truth at the beginning, why did you lie that we are lovers, Why do you want me to let me completely become Rong Yun?

"I used to think that I could look at you from a distance like that," Chen Hongting lowered his head and kissed Li Xinyun's fingertips, his voice was full of tenderness and nostalgia that almost made people tremble, "but ...you lost your memory again."
