Chapter 24
Xia Mao was wearing a messy pill hair, wearing a colorful tight T-shirt, dark blue nine-quarter piece jeans, white canvas shoes, pulling a dark blue suitcase, full of curiosity out of the airport.
Ling Yichen's eyes were locked on her body, watching her standing in the dazzling sunlight, constantly looking around? Looking around, but never noticing him.
He was such a dazzling presence, and she couldn't even see it? Was she doing it on purpose?
He finally couldn't resist walking over to her.
But when he was still more than ten metres away from her, a man ran up to her before him and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
"Hi, Summer End, right?" The man, who was tall and thin and wore a pair of glasses, looked at her with a pant, "Sorry for the delay on the way."
"Tan Wei?" Xia Mao called out tentatively.
"Being despicable." Tan Wei humorously held up his glasses, "Bowen called me and told me to take care of you, just now he even asked me if I had received anyone, as soon as I said I would be at the airport soon, he scolded me so much on the phone, I was worried he was going to crawl out of the phone, I was so scared I hung up the phone quickly."
Xia Mo remembered Bo Wen's frantic look and couldn't help but laugh too, "So call him now and tell him you've received me, otherwise there's no telling how anxious he'll be over there."
"Yes, yes, you're so right," Tan Wei took out the phone, his mouth teasing, "he's a madman."
Summer ended but smiled, through a year of being together she knew that Bowen only showed his crazy side to those he cared about.
"I can't believe you're not answering your phone?" Tan Wei looked at the phone, then hung up and redialed, "He's not coming on a plane too, is he?"
"No way." Summers reassured.
After five or six rings, the phone was finally picked up and a deafening voice followed, "Tan Wei, did you receive Mao or not? You haven't arrived at the airport yet, have you?"
"Brother, I've arrived at the airport, I've received Mamoru, calm down, stop hissing and save your energy to save more people!" Tan Wei teased.
"You're not allowed to call her Mamoru," Bowen's anger subsided when he heard he'd already received Xia Mamoru, but still warned him, "She doesn't know you well, give her the phone."
"Here?" Tan Wei smiled and handed the phone to Xia Mao, "Big brother has instructions."
Xia Mao took the phone with a smile, "Hello? I'm here."
"The first thing you need to do in a minute is to go and buy a phone and a phone card, the second thing is to give me a call and give me the number! The third thing is to write down Tan Wei's phone number and then go and do all those things you have to do, if you need a car or someone, just ask Tan Wei, you don't have to be polite with him."
"I got it." Xia Mao responded.
"The card I gave you has money on it, take it from there," Bowen repeated what he had said, "don't save it."
"I know." Summer's end still smiled in response.
"I can't follow you to D City this time, take care of yourself, watch the time, make sure you get back a few days early before school starts, you still have to do the admission procedures."
"Mm, know ......"
Before Xia Mao could finish, Tan Wei shouted from the side, "Can you say less? Your Mamoru is going to burst in the sun!"
"Are you two stupid? Can't you find a cooler place?" When Bo Wen heard that, he looked like he was about to explode again and shouted, "It's really stupid."
Xia Mao was busy holding the phone away from him, holding it up to a distance of half a metre from him. Tan Wei smiled and took the phone, not caring what was being said on the phone, and said first, "Alright, hang up."
Then he really hung up the phone and stuffed it into his trouser pocket before reaching for the suitcase in Xia Mao's hand, "Remember next time, treat him with this trick, it's simple, brutal and effective."
Xia Mao smiled with her beautiful eyes like a curved moon, smiling as she followed Tan Wei towards the car park.
Ling Yichen stood there for half a day, not slowing down.
He couldn't quite hear what they were saying, but just looking at their familiarity was enough to make his lungs explode with anger!
He had thought about what might happen when they met again, but the only thing he hadn't thought about was that he had been waiting here for hours and she had ignored him!
He knew she must have seen him, he was so handsome, so eye-catching, no one in or out could fail to see him, so how could she not?
Ling Yichen's face sank like ink as he watched from behind the woman he had been looking for for a year, just like that, following another man in front of him!
He grunted and went back to the car, "Drive!"
The driver, unsure, started the car, but had no idea where his boss wanted to go.
It was only after he drove out of the airport that he ventured to drive towards the office.
In the afternoon, the whole company had almost spread the word: the president was in a bad mood today, if there was nothing to do, please do not disturb, otherwise you would die a horrible death.
Xia Mao first went to buy a mobile phone and a phone card as Bo Wen said, and finished calling Bo Wen again before going to the hotel arranged by Tan Wei.
"If you need anything, just call me, I'm at your service 24 hours a day," Tan Wei said as he was on his way out the door, then suddenly backed away again, "How about I stay at the hotel too?"
"Eh?" The smiling Xia Mu froze, and her big black and white eyes flashed, looking dumb and cute.
Tan Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to slap Xia Mao's head, "I'll have to ask Bowen later, where did he get such a cute sister like you?"
Xia Mao just pursed her lips and smiled, which made Tan Wei's heart soften.
"I'm going to go to the flat first, I'll pick you up for dinner later, don't go out by yourself." Tan Wei's heart suddenly understood Bowen, why he watched her so closely.
If he had such a lovely sister, he would have been worried about this and that.
Xia Muzhi had lost her memory since she woke up a year ago.
Bo Wen said that only an ID card with her name and address was found on her body.
Bo Wen also said that he had tried to contact this address for her, but it was no longer available.
So she was bent on coming to D City to see if she could try to retrieve her former memories.
Summer took a shower at the hotel, changed into a white T-shirt, light blue denim shorts, wore a full head of long curly hair, sent a text message to Tan Wei, and left the hotel.
It was getting late and it was the rush hour for commuters. Xia Mao stood at the crossroads not far from the hotel, looking at the four directions from the southeast to the northwest, but did not know where to go?
The bewildered and helpless expression, like a fairy who has fallen into the dust, not only attracted the eyes of passers-by, but also the man in the Rolls-Royce on the roadside.
He pushed open the door and walked with heavy and eager steps towards the woman who had seduced him ......
Chapter 25
Ling Yichen left the office early after a long afternoon of depression, he had had enough of staying in the office, if he stayed any longer he thought he would go crazy!
But what he didn't expect was to find her standing at the crossroads.
A big wavy long black curly hair like seaweed draped behind her, lining her melon face more compact, clear bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes faintly fluttering, white flawless skin through the faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate drip.
The slim-fitting white T-shirt, which wrapped her upper body tightly, looked so ragingly spectacular on her chest.
The double moon retreat exposed under the shorts showed straight and long, even her height seemed to be a few points taller ......
He found that she had become even more beautiful than before.
"Miss, are you lost here?" Two heavy-duty motorbikes whistled to a halt beside her, and one of the men took off his helmet and greeted her with what he thought was a cool gesture, "Where to? I can give you a lift."
Ling Yichen, who was ten metres away, seemed to be seeing a repeat of the morning's events, and took three steps forward, wrapping the woman in his arms, his voice low and gentle, "Where do you want to go?"
The biker whistled and rode off again on his motorbike in style.
Xia Mao, who had only just reacted, looked at the man beside her, "Who are you?"
Ling Yichen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he stared into her eyes.
Her eyes were so clear, containing nothing but confusion and not a trace of impurities.
"You don't remember me?" Ling Yichen asked.
"Do you know me?" Xia Mo asked in return.
Both of them spoke and stopped at the same time, quite a tacit understanding, but both were also quite shocked.
"Xia Mao, you really don't remember me?" Ling Yichen took her shoulders in both hands, leaned down slightly to look at her levelly, and asked, "Where did you run off to this year?"
"What place did I stay a year ago?"
Both asked out again at the same time.
"Go, this is not the place to talk." Ling Yichen pulled her towards his own car next to him without a word.
Xia Mao's heart was very excited, finally she found someone who knew her, she was too busy to let him pull her, and did not show any objection, so she got into the car with him.
When they arrived at the car, Ling Yichen said two words to the driver, "Landian", before looking at the woman beside him.
The woman was also looking at him, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.
Ling Yichen took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant: "Find out where Xia Mao was this year before."
"Do you really know me?" Xia Mao frowned lightly as she looked at the man in front of her, "Where did you know me from?"
The corners of Ling Yichen's lips pursed into a straight line, he was now completely sure that this woman was not pretending, but really didn't know herself.
"Do I know you well?" Xia Mao saw that he was only looking at himself with a sullen gaze and did not say anything, his heart panicked for no reason: "You ...... are not a bad egg, are you?"
The moment she said the word "bad egg", Xia Mao's head immediately flashed back to the cases of women being abducted, killed and robbed that Bo Wen had told her about when she was leaving home.
"I tell you, I have studied taekwondo, black belt ...... and my friend is from the Public Security Bureau, the Criminal Investigation Division ...... you must not do anything!"
The heart of Xia Mao "thump" straight jump, panic out of shape, tightly shrink in the car door side, eyes between the car door and the man swept around.
When Ling Yichen heard her words, he let out a soft "hum", "You think I'm a bad guy?"
"I want to get out of the car!" Xia Mao looked out of the car window at the bustling crowd and said calmly, "I want to get out of the car now, if you're not a bad guy, then let me out!"
Looking at her deer-like eyes, Ling Yichen's heart softened and he reached out to her, wanting to hold her in his arms and talk to her properly, but the woman reached out and hit his hand with a snap, clutching her arms tightly, shaking and screaming, "What do you want? If you dare to touch me, I will not be polite. ...... Stop the car now! I want to get out of the car!"
"I'm not a bad person, I just want to have a few good words with you." Ling Yichen saw her little face turn white and had to step back a little, and said in as gentle a voice as he could, "I've been looking for you for a long time, where have you been hiding?"
"You said you know me, so tell me how you know me?" Xia Mo looked at him like that, not quite like a bad person, so she asked warily, "What do you know about me, what does it look like?"
Ling Yichen looked out of the window, he was still some distance away from Landian, but Ling's Group was close at hand, so he said to the driver, "First, drive the car into the company's car park!"
The driver answered yes and quickly drove the car into the president's special parking space in Ling's car park.
"You get out of the car first!" Ling Yichen said to the driver again.
Xia Mao thought she might also follow him out of the car, but once she heard the man's words, she knew he wanted her to stay in the car with him, and the heart she had just put down was raised again.
How could the underground car park look so scary when the lights were off and it was dark outside?
Alarm bells went off and she said "no" and started to try to open the door, but she couldn't open the damn door!
"I want to get out too!" I'm not talking to you in this place, I'm afraid of the dark, I want to go somewhere with lights, I don't want to stay here."
"Xia Mao's voice stopped abruptly as she watched the man next to her pull out two tissues from the tissue box and try to wipe her tears, but she snatched them away and wiped her face twice.
"I want to get out of the car! If you don't let me out of the car, I'm going to scream for help!"
"Xia Mao, born on August 3, 1999, lives in Room 402, Unit 1, Building 53, Red Shield District, Zhenxing Street, Dongxing District, D City, attended Zhenxing Primary School in Dongxing District in primary school, Zhenxing Secondary School in secondary school, her greatest ambition is to become a doctor, her greatest fear is getting an injection, her greatest horror is bleeding ......"
Ling Yichen softly recited these amusing information he had collected, but now he didn't know if she still remembered it.
The more Xia Mao listened, the more frightened she became, not only because he said the same birth year and address as on her ID card, but also because of what he said after that!
Although she had amnesia, her favourite profession was indeed a doctor, and it was also true that her greatest fear was getting injections.
If she was sick and didn't want to take the medicine, all Bo Wen had to do was mention the injection and she immediately jumped out of bed without saying a word and swallowed the medicine quickly, and all kinds of things related to blood were not at all as simple as scary to her, it was just horrible to the extreme.
She still remembered the last time she went grocery shopping with her maid and saw a car accident on the roadside, the puddle of blood on the ground was not cleaned up in time, she saw it and fainted on the ground at that time, giving that maid a near death scare.
"You really know me!" She had to say with certainty.
Chapter 26
"I do know you."
Ling Yichen leaned towards her side and hesitated for a moment, not extending his own arm.
"I've lost my memory," Xia Mao's eyes dimmed, then her eyes were slightly red, and a dense mist of water rose in her big eyes, "I had an accident a year ago, and I don't remember anything, can you tell me what happened to me before? I don't remember anything now except an identity card."
"Amnesia?!" The first thing that came to Ling Yichen's mind was Lu Wanru, and her brother, Bo Wen, who was a medical ghost, this matter must be related to them.
He really didn't expect that after asking Lu Wanru so many times, Lu Wanru could calmly say "I don't know", was she sure that she would never find Xia Mao again?
"Where have you been this year?" Ling Yichen tried to ask.
"Half a year in L City and half a year abroad." After Xia Mao knew that he really knew her, she dropped her guard, raised her eyes to look at him and asked in a low voice, "Where are my relatives? Do you know where they are?"
Ling Yichen looked at her and thought of the brat at home who was already walking, looking at him like she did every time he wanted to eat candy, making his heart melt.
"Your mother doesn't know you're missing, she went to S City with your best friend, your father ...... he had an accident two years ago and has run away." Ling Yichen said these are the truth.
The tears in Xia Mao's eyes flowed down all at once, "Where is my mother now?"
As she spoke, she suddenly shook her head in disbelief again, "You're lying to me! How could my mother have gone away with my best friend? Hasn't she even contacted me? ...... Or did she not want me anymore ...... My God, I'm not an orphan without parents who want me, am I?"
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. How is it possible that no one wants you? You had to go to work to earn money at first, so you let your friend take your mother away. Later, your friend knew you were missing, but didn't dare to tell your mother, fearing that she would be anxious, which is why your mother never knew."
"Is that true?" Xia Mao actually felt as if she was an orphan, otherwise why would Bo Wen always call her a "poor little girl who no one wants"?
Although Bo Wen didn't mean any harm, she felt very uncomfortable inside, and she had to go back to D City this time, just to see if she was wanted or not!
"Of course it's true," Ling Yichen sighed and hugged her tighter to himself, "I've been looking for you for a whole year, I think I've been going to heaven and earth, but I can't find any news of you, you're really something."
The woman in his arms, however, began to struggle violently, scaring Ling Yichen, who was busy letting go of his hand before he could finish his sentence, "What's wrong?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Ling Yichen." The man thought the woman couldn't remember her name, so he said.
"What is your relationship with me? Why have you been looking for me for a year up in the sky and down?" Xia Mao backed up to even the door again and looked at him coldly.
"I ......" Ling Yichen's voice lurched, hesitated, and ghosted, "I'm your male ...... friend. "
He wanted to say man, but for fear of scaring her, he changed the word.
Xia Mao's eyes looked the man up and down and then at the car, "You lie, this car of yours could be worth millions, how could I have a boyfriend like you? When I met you, I should have been in high school, I must have been studying seriously at the time, how could I have had a male ...... boyfriend? Besides, when I disappeared, my mother was not taken care of by you, my boyfriend, so why was she taken care of by my friend? Is it because you dislike her and don't want to take care of her, or is it because of some other reason?"
Ling Yichen couldn't help but feel big-headed: why did this woman feel more difficult than before?
But he, Ling Yichen, had been in the business world for so many years, and he was not afraid to say anything else, but he was still not good at making up false stories.
"Because you were in high school at the time, and you were studying very well, known as the school bully, all you could think about was studying, so you never took me to see your mother yet, and when you disappeared, I was looking for you every day, even though I knew where your mother was, I didn't dare to go see her."
"Oh, you are also really strange and pitiful, so it has been my underground boyfriend." Xia Mao, who was as innocent as white paper, believed his words so easily.
Ling Yichen's heart was happy, surprisingly he felt that it was good if she believed his words just like that.
At least that child would no longer have anything to do with her.
"Yes, I am quite pathetic, I have been looking for you for a year."
This time Ling Yichen no longer hesitated, he reached out and took her in his arms, this time the woman only struggled a little, then did not move again, he could not help but tighten his arms again, "This time I finally found you, see where you still run."
"But I don't even remember you." Xia Mao tilted her small red face, her watery beautiful eyes shining, "You're my boyfriend, I should be impressed with you, but why don't I remember anything about you?"
"Is that so?" Ling Yichen's deep phoenix eyes moved from her eyes to her nose and finally landed on her cherry blossom-like pink lips, "Maybe I have a way to make you be able to remember me!"
"What way?" Xia Mo asked with a smile and curiosity.
The corners of Ling Yichen's lips twitched, one hand circled behind her, one hand picked up her chin, and with his head lowered, he kissed down on the small, slightly open mouth.
What he had been thinking about a year ago finally came true today, she tasted just as she had imagined, so sweet and fragrant, like the legendary poppy, beautiful and addictive at the same time.
But the woman in his arms was as silly as if she had fallen asleep, not moving a muscle, just staring at him with wide eyes, making him want to laugh.
He lifted his head slightly and said, "Close your eyes."
When the woman still didn't respond, he smiled and kissed her on the eye, and the woman immediately closed her eyes as if she had been electrocuted.
Ling Yichen gave her a kiss on each eye before returning to her pink lips, gently mouthing them and extending his tongue to probe into her small mouth, but the woman was nervous and her lips were tightly pursed together, not showing a single seam.
Her youthful shyness made him pity, delight and helpless, and one of his large hands wandered restlessly around her waist, finally unable to resist reaching through the hem of her dress and up her smooth skin, holding it over her moon hung through the moon hung hood.
"Ah..." the dazed Xia Mao couldn't help but cry out in shock, reaching out to push the man on top of her away.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, the tip of the man's tongue entered her mouth, swallowing up all her sounds, and then her body became tingly and numb as if she had been electrocuted, and there was no more resistance.
