There is still a week until the stitches are removed.While Xu Jiang's family was recovering from injuries, Tao Xihong heard the most shocking news, none other than the exposure of the Magnus scandal.

In the Internet age, any disturbance will become a carnival for the whole people.The information in Xu Jiangtong's hands is like a huge piece of fat, and everyone wants to come in and share it.

The tug of war lasted for two full days.First, at the press conference, the reporter who had the first-hand information deliberately guided him, mentioned Magnus's debut work, and asked him about his creative experience in the past 20 years.

Magnus naturally said a lot of words that put gold on his face, and even mentioned his old friend Jiang Jizhe brazenly, pretending to remember it.

That afternoon, the recording content of that tape was posted on the Internet, tearing up his lies.

Magnus responded immediately, saying that the content of the recording was synthesized, claiming that he had called the police and sought a lawyer, and hoped that the rumormongers could do it themselves.

The identification center compared the voices of the two people and the frequency of the sound waves, and quickly issued an announcement to confirm that the recording was authentic and there was no fraudulent element.

The police who received the police gave him a hammer, and Magnus was silent all night.The next day, before he could think up the public relations copywriting, some scholars who studied the Mesopotamian civilization spoke out one after another, pointing out that the pattern of the out-of-print perfume bottle had symbols similar to cuneiform characters, which might be decipherable.

When the news reached China, the curse-like words on the bottle had already been translated, and there was no room for the matter to be reversed.

The hot words of major search engines have become "Chinese designer Jiang Jizhe" and "Ogden Group's new product designer involved in a criminal case", and the recordings and interview videos have also been disseminated, clearly presenting the ins and outs of the whole incident to the public.

And Xu Jiangtong, the behind-the-scenes planner of all this, is leisurely studying dark cooking in the kitchen at the moment.

Tao Xihong still remembers that on the second day after the operation, Xu Jiangtong sat by the bed and peeled an apple, and said to him lightly: "I have sent someone to deal with Jiang Jizhe's matter."

"Who?" Tao Xihong immediately became vigilant when this matter was mentioned, and asked repeatedly, "What is the identity of the other party? Is it credible?"

Xu Jiangtong explained lightly: "I sold the information to their rival company and some media who like to catch rumors."

"You want to restrict them to each other through commercial interests?"

Xu Jiangtong nodded, finished peeling the last round, and handed the bare apple to his hand.

A fruit without the protection of its outer shell is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered with distinct blood vessels.

Xu Jiangtong took out a few more sheets of paper and wiped the remaining juice on the blade in a leisurely manner: "This is the most efficient solution at present. This matter will inevitably involve the grievances between me and his son when it develops to a later stage. It is unnecessary Put yourself in the center of public opinion too early. And your foot has just undergone surgery, and if there is danger, you have no ability to protect yourself.”

After cleaning up the sticky juice, the metal blade reflected a shiny luster and shone on his face.

Xu Jiangtong's dark expression hidden in his eyes seemed to say: These things are not worth doing by myself.

The crisp crashing sound brought back Tao Xihong's thoughts.Xu Jiangtong came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand, and put the freshly washed fruits on the table.

Tao Xihong, who had limited mobility, was slumped on the sofa. Seeing this, he immediately sat up straight and pulled him to the empty seat beside him.

"As you predicted, now all the media are condemning Magnus, and many people still have doubts about the cause of Jiang Jizhe's death."

Tao Xihong was very calm, except when the name "Jiang Jizhe" was mentioned, his voice was a little choked up.

"Jiang's case has been in the past for too long. Unless he admits it himself, it may be difficult to find direct evidence." Xu Jiangtong patted him on the shoulder, took out his iPad, clicked on a few Italian media reports, and screened them on the screen in the living room. on TV.

"I know." Tao Xihong ate a piece of watermelon and prevaricated, "It's okay, after all, in my heart... I won't recognize him as my father."

It's just an unfamiliar symbol on the Internet.

Xu Jiangtong saw it, swiped a few times, and saw the video of Magnus facing the reporter's question.

His impassioned voice sounded in the room, it sounded full of vigor and contagion, and he jumped perfectly into the trap carefully designed by Xu Jiangtong.

I don't know how he will feel if he listens to it again.

Halfway through hearing it, Xu Jiangtong suddenly lowered his eyes, snorted with a half-smile, and raised his hand to turn off the TV.

His blurred silhouette was reflected on the large screen.

"He actually said that the design of this perfume bottle was inspired by the Code of Hammurabi. It's ironic." Xu Jiangtong rested his forehead with one hand, and tapped the sofa with his slender fingers, "However, he should be able to experience it for himself soon. The splendor of the law is great."

A week after the stitches were removed, Tao Xihong was able to walk normally.Before officially returning to the team, Xu Jiangtong proposed to go to Qingdao to watch the sunrise.

The bridge spanned the entire sea area, and at [-]:[-] in the morning, the city was already showing signs of waking up.

The orange warning light on the guardrail flickered, and a layer of rough edges bloomed outside the aperture, blending into the hazy morning mist.

Xu Jiangtong drove on the empty road, chasing the sunrise on the horizon.There was a light rock song by the summer band in the car, and the cool sea breeze was blowing in. Tela sat on Tao Xihong's lap, happily accompaniment to the rhythm of the music.

After 10 minutes, they successfully parked the car on the shore and caught up with the first ray of morning light on the sea level.

Tela couldn't wait to jump out of the car, saw the shells buried in the sand, and dug them out curiously.

The morning sea breeze was cool, Xu Jiangtong put a shawl on his shoulders to cover his whole body, and concentrated on playing with the camera.The long hair in the shawl and tassels are entangled together, and the wind blows it into a mess, like a wandering poet.

After adjusting the angle for a long time, Xu Jiangtong finally found the right proportion.The moment he pressed the shutter, he let out a long breath.

Tao Xihong didn't go far, waited for him to put down the camera, and said loudly, "Mr. Xiaojiang, let's take a selfie."

"Ok?"

"Sea breeze, sunrise plus selfie, isn't it a hundred things that couples must clock in?" Tao Xihong pulled him to his side, raised his slender arm to act as a selfie stick, and proudly compared the hand on his shoulder " Victory" gesture.

Taking a selfie at a standard 45-degree angle, Xu Jiangtong couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Tao Xihong pretended to be angry, "Although he is not a major in Xiaojiang, it is still a good memory."

When the two got together, Xu Jiangtong felt a sense of strangeness when he saw himself in the camera.

"It's the first time I've seen the sea when I grow up so big." Tao Xihong put down the phone with satisfaction, and held Xu Jiangtong's hand.

"I haven't been to the beach for a long time." Xu Jiangtong was tired from walking, so he pulled him to sit down on the spot, "I will take you back to Italy next time."

The sea water washes against the shoals on the shore, making irregular aerial sounds of different lengths.

Xu Jiangtong stopped him suddenly: "Tao Xihong——"

"Have you heard the legend of the sea god? If someone commits suicide by jumping into the sea, his soul will be imprisoned by the sea as punishment. To regain freedom, one needs to be forgiven by one's relatives."

"The way to forgive him is to scatter the ashes or the soil from his hometown back into the sea."

After speaking, he grabbed a handful of sand and handed it to Tao Xihong: "Are you willing to give him this chance?"

Tao Xihong was stunned for a second, then took the sand in his hand, got up without hesitation, and threw it towards the sea level: "Of course."

The sun has completely crossed the sea and penetrated the blockade of morning fog.Tao Xihong knelt down on one knee and clasped Xu Jiangtong's fingers into his palm: "From today, I, Tao Xihong, have only two identities, Xu Jiangtong's lover, and a volleyball player. I will use my own way to let the world remember my name .”

The 20-year-old Tao Xihong is still unable to promise him the rest of his life with wealth and honor, but Xu Jiangtong is not in a hurry, because his story as an athlete has just begun.

And their love is also unfinished.

"Congratulations, Xiao Tao. The next ten years will belong to your era."
