Before Meng Rendong could think of the correct answer to this question, Ji Yu's next death question had arrived:

"...Do you have any news about her?"

Meng Rendong said nothing.

Ji Yu had already found the answer she wanted from her brief silence. She rubbed herself up from the camp bed and pushed the quilt down, as if she was struggling to get up from above.

She suppressed all the after-effects of choking on water, and now she only thinks about that one person.

Hearing the movement in the bed, Meng Rendong turned around quickly and saw Ji Yu's indifferent attitude, as if she would rush there without hesitation as long as she told him the address, even if it was the end of the world. Her emotions were complicated for a moment.

pole.

It's strange that she was a little jealous of herself a few years ago.

"okay--"

Meng Rendong raised his hand and pressed Ji Yu's shoulder back. His long and straight eyelashes drooped down, covering the thoughts in his dark eyes. Meng Rendong tightened his cheeks and still spoke the truth:

"Yes, I found your friend."

Ji Yu no longer ignored her previous avoidance and grabbed her wrist. Unprecedented expectations bloomed in her peach blossom eyes. Those expectations seemed to suddenly rise into the night sky and disperse the light of the night, almost making her face pale.

It is uncharacteristically more beautiful and makes people unable to take their eyes away.

In the past four years, Ji Yu's quietness, well-behavedness, and submissiveness had left a habitual impression on Meng Rendong, so much so that when she suddenly saw Ji Yu like this, she felt strange yet familiar.

What followed was a feeling of heartache.

After learning all the truth, Meng Rendong looked at Ji Yu, who was disturbed by the "Si Tian" incident and had a change of temperament. He could no longer simply hold the unconvinced or jealous mood as before...

She felt very uncomfortable.

Ji Yu couldn't remember what happened before he was sixteen, so he woke up after falling into the water. He was in a different world and couldn't feel the love given by his relatives and friends. He was like a duckweed without roots and soil, which blew with the wind.

You can only hold on tight wherever you fall, even on the edge of a cliff.

"Si Tian" played an important role in her life in the three years after she lost her memory.

Regardless of whether Meng Rendong did it intentionally or unintentionally, Ji Yu had already formed a deep dependence on her when neither of them expected it. And because of the subsequent death of "Si Tian", this person had a profound influence on Ji Yu's heart.

She left a lasting mark. No matter who she met later or what stories happened, Ji Yu would never forget her again.

But she wasn't supposed to be like this.

If she had not gone to that resort with her friends when she was sixteen, and had not insisted on sitting by the lake fishing with her sister on that scorching afternoon, what would she have grown into now?

...Unfortunately, there is no if.

Meng Rendong could only vaguely imagine that Chu Jianyu was a high-spirited twenty-three-year-old girl who could grow into such a confident and assertive girl, but she drowned by the lakeside of a B&B when she was sixteen years old.

The one who survived became Ji Yu.

Amnesia will always have an indelible impact on people. Due to the blank memory of sixteen years, Ji Yu woke up in the hospital and was mostly silent. In order to coax her to talk, Meng Rendong, in a sense, removed himself from the

A person who was not good at words suddenly turned into a talkative person.

At first Ji Yu was indifferent to the jokes she recited based on the cold humor on the Internet. He would occasionally be slightly touched when he heard her tell her life story in disguise, but Meng Rendong didn't want to see her always acting silent.

Like the sculpture, it sits there most of the time.

At that time, Meng Rendong didn't want to see the light that once illuminated her go out, so she looked at the gradually extinguishing light of the sky and racked her brains to restart the dawn. She tried to make a fire, catch fireflies, and even wanted to make an artificial one.

sun……

Ji Yu thought that "Si Tian" also radiated light.

Actually it’s not——

Just like when humans see the sun and then the moon, they think they are equally matched in the sky, but one controls the day and the other controls the night. However, the fact is that the light of the moon that lights up the night sky was already illuminated by the sun hundreds of millions of light years ago.

The light on it.

Chu Jianyu is the tomorrow hanging high in the sky, while Meng Rendong is just the moon.

Later Ji Yu felt the residual warmth from her body and thought it was the brightest and warmest light in the world. In fact, it was just a small trace left by Chu Jianyu in Meng Rendong's life.

And Meng Rendong looked at the little sun in front of her that had forgotten how to shine. The glory of Chu Jianyu in the past only remained in her memory and could no longer be recalled, but she felt no regrets, just heartache.

She actually didn't expect Ji Yu to turn back to Chu Jianyu.

As long as this person can live peacefully and happily, no matter which world he is in...

But why do people always want to hurt her again and again?

…

Once some words are spoken, the shackles in the heart are released, and there is a feeling of relief. No matter what happens next, you can deal with it calmly.

Ji Yu held Meng Rendong's wrist and struggled for a long time with too many unfinished words between her lips and teeth, but the first thing she spat out was:

"...Is she doing well?"

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ji Yu still felt that it was inappropriate to treat her so harshly. What if Meng Rendong just accidentally learned about Si Tian's current situation? Then wouldn't her question be in vain?

What's more, I didn't intend to let Meng Rendong help me get the news about Si Tian before, but now that I'm messing up, it's a bit contrary to my principles.

Ji Yu gradually calmed down, and when he let go, he realized that because of the lack of strength under his hand, Meng Rendong's wrist was stuck and the wrist bones were red. The already slender wrist, the round joints of the wrist bones, and even the plain white skin were covered up.

Unable to stop it, it is slightly bulging and looks thinner than before, and the redness on it is more obvious.

She belatedly wanted to find something to make up for, and Meng Rendong's answer came right at this moment:

"……good."

Ji Yu suddenly raised his head, thinking that he had heard wrongly. Meng Rendong stared into her eyes and stood condescendingly beside the bed. However, because he deliberately restrained his aura in front of Ji Yu, his attitude turned out to be rare and peaceful.

She repeated her answer again.

Ji Yu finally realized that Meng Rendong had found the person he had been searching for for a long time and tried to meet again.

Ji Yu felt a blockage in her heart. She couldn't say why. She already knew the news about Si Tian, ​​but when she learned about it from Meng Rendong, she still felt that something was wrong...

Is she still recovering from the aftereffects of falling into the water just now?

She looked into Meng Rendong's eyes with a hint of inquiry. When she looked into each other's eyes, her mind was sluggishly stirring, her instinct telling her that Meng Rendong's reaction was too abnormal, but her rationality was slow.

When I went online, I looked like a half-wound machine, half awake and half lost.

After a long while, Ji Yu replied dryly: "That, that's good."

Meng Rendong guessed her plan.

As if he wanted to see this person's thoughts more clearly so that he could make his own judgment, Meng Rendong put one hand on the edge of the already narrow and hard bed. When he leaned over, the long-lost scent of tranquil perfume poured into Ji.

The tip of her nose was pleasant, allowing her to regain her sense of smell from the almost numbing smell of disinfectant water in the swimming pool.

From the invisibly shortened distance, Ji Yu heard her naturally cold voice flowing into his ears little by little:

"You want to find her?"

Ji Yu originally didn't want to reveal her feelings in front of this person.

But maybe there was some water in her head, or maybe she had been looking for Si Tian for too long. After passing by him several times, she could no longer control her emotions, like a fallen leaf that was obsessed with returning to its roots.

, Ji Yu could no longer control his thoughts and nodded slightly, no matter how small the movement was, Meng Rendong could see it.

next moment.

Ji Yu heard Meng Rendong make a sound that sounded like a sigh.

She moved her eyelids and looked into Meng Rendong's eyes at close range. She saw that this face with slightly sharp features was so close to her, as if their breaths could be entangled.

But it was Meng Rendong who moved back a little.

"Are you sure you want to see her? I'm afraid you'll regret it."

Ji Yu heard her say this.

This time, the anomalies in Meng Rendong's words were even more difficult for Ji Yu to ignore.

She seemed to have predicted that something bad would happen in this meeting between herself and Si Tian, ​​so it would definitely make her regret it.

But Meng Rendong clearly said that Si Tian was doing well——

So what else is there that makes Ji Yu hesitate to move forward?

Ji Yu suppressed the messy worries in his mind, barely maintained his calm, and spoke to Meng Rendong again in his hoarse and slightly painful voice:

"What does Mr. Meng mean by this?"

Meng Rendong couldn't explain any more carefully. She turned her attention away, as if she no longer cared about Ji Yu's reaction after learning the truth. Instead, she raised her hand and gently touched Ji Yu's neck and asked: "

Is it painful? Will drinking hot water also irritate it? I'll ask the doctor here to see if there are any other medicines."

Ji Yu didn't want her to mention the topic she cared about the most and then turn her attention away so lightly.

It seemed that Meng Rendong and Si Tian had reached some kind of agreement, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Ji Yu couldn't help but feel a little panicked by this thought.

She stopped those who wanted to leave again:

"Meng Lonicera."
