If I still remember you in the next life

Chapter 8 Prosperity, One Dream, Three Lives
VOL.18
"Thank goodness you're finally awake."

Yan Xiaonan's voice exploded in my ears, and I was in a trance with a time-space dislocation, where am I?
"Xiaonan...I'm thirsty..."

When I opened my mouth, I was taken aback.I don't know when the voice became so hoarse and weak, as if it was blocked in the throat and could not be uttered, and it was finally squeezed out, but it was like sandpaper rubbing against fine stones.

I vaguely saw her come over and sit next to me, hold my head, feed me something to drink, and murmured: "Oh? Why is it so hot after taking the medicine? Will it cause a neuropathy? ?”

I cursed her weakly: "You are the crazy one."

I heard her laugh, gave me a chestnut hard, and said: "It's all like this and you still want to turn me into a psychopath, sleep with you."

I hesitated and said "um", and then fell asleep very peacefully.

I thought it must be a dream I was having.I dreamed that a man named Zheng Kaiwen suddenly appeared in my world, turning me from an ugly duckling into a white swan, and then the episode ended.The screenwriter of the dog blood gave me a hard blow and knocked me off the stage.

But that was all a dream.

It was like when I was lying in Yan Xiaonan's apartment with a high fever, Jiang Yang came back from his hometown to see me, brought a bag of snacks, and said when I was in a daze, "Liang Luoxin, get rid of the fever soon, I’ll marry you when the fever subsides.” But when I woke up, he said, “Who said I’m going to marry you, just dream.”

Yes, it must be a dream.

Just wake up from the dream and it will be fine.

It really is like a dream rolling in the world of mortals.

No matter what kind of dream I had, I knew that Kevin Cheng would never come to me again.

He is right, he has never loved me, just like Jiang Yang regretted his marriage at the beginning, how can someone who has never loved me care about me.

So in this game, we all lost.

The sun shines into the room, and I feel the warmth through the sheets.

I turned over lazily, but felt something soft pressing down on me.I rubbed my eyes, and saw a snow-white slender leg, and the thunder exploded in an instant, and I screamed in shock.The guy sleeping next to me jumped up and screamed after me.

I grabbed her and shouted loudly: "Yan Xiaonan, Yan Xiaonan, why are you here? Why are you sleeping next to me?"

Yan Xiaonan was shaken dizzyingly by me, and shouted loudly: "It's me, it's me, why are you making such a fuss!" After speaking, he pushed me away, fell back to sleep, and covered his head with a pillow.I grabbed the pillow and pulled the disheveled Yan Xiaonan up. After shaking wildly for a while, I asked, "Yan Xiaonan, tell me, why are you here?"

"Oh my God——" Yan Xiaonan broke out, shook his hands vigorously and said, "Liang Luoxin, I really owed you in my last life. I have taken care of you for two days and two nights, you can't let me Have a good sleep. Why did you take cold medicine as if you were taking a stimulant? Did the doctor prescribe the wrong medicine? "

She crawled out of bed in a daze, searched on the desk, and finally found the pill.

From my point of view, this room is indeed a standard hotel room. Yan Xiaonan's clothes are thrown in a mess on the sofa, chairs, and it is exactly the same as our "doghouse" in Shanghai. Shot out of a gap.

I walked over, opened the curtains with a bang, and Yan Xiaonan screamed anxiously: "Liang Luoxin, you are going to die, I don't know if I saw the light and died. My aunt stayed up all night to shoot the cover, oh...no, I took care of you all night , don’t let people get a good night’s sleep today…”

While she was talking, she grabbed the pill and got back under the quilt. I pulled the quilt away, stared at the ostrich-shaped Yan Xiaonan and asked, "Quickly, why did you come to Hong Kong? Why am I here with you?"

Unable to bear me being such a stalker, Yan Xiaonan clasped her fists together and begged for mercy like a disciple of the beggar gang, "My dear sister, please forgive me, let me sleep for another 5 minutes, 2 minutes, 30 seconds." Can……"

"Say it, tell it, tell it, why am I here with you?"

"You...you..." Yan Xiaonan scratched his hair carelessly, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "A man sent you here."

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know that person." Yan Xiaonan yawned, and finally said, "But he's tall and burly. He looks like he's in his early 30s. He's handsome and speaks cool." I saw Yan Xiaonan When the two eyes started to shine, one knew that the quality of this man must be good.

But I can't think of who it will be, but I hope he is.

I asked earnestly, "Are you... sure you don't know that person?"

"I'm sure it's not Zheng Kaiwen." Yan Xiaonan pushed me away, went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, and said vaguely: "That man looks older than Zheng Kaiwen, and when he came, there were several people behind him. , that posture is like the underworld. He stayed here for a while, and brought a private doctor to see you, and he bought the medicine on the table for you. "

I rushed into the bathroom and yelled: "Yan Xiaonan, you didn't know him and let him in, you, how could you just give me medicine that a stranger brought."

"At least he picked you up from the street, so it shouldn't be too bad." Yan Xiaonan washed her face in a hurry, and her long hair was tied back in a bun. "Besides, you were half-dead at that time, and I was considered a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Yan Xiaonan said earnestly: "Liang Luoxin, I found that your vitality is very strong. Two days ago, you seemed to be dying. Same, as a result, now you are healthy enough to kill someone."

I know she is complimenting me.

"But, what's the matter with you and Zheng Kaiwen?" Yan Xiaonan walked to the table, took out a newspaper under a pile of messy clothes and cosmetics, and stuffed it to me: "Why did the newspaper say that you are engaged, but also say that you are married?" We broke up. What the hell is going on? How could he let you wander outside alone with such heavy rain."

I stared at the newspaper in a daze. The photo... should have been secretly photographed when Kevin and I were in the jewelry store. The newspaper was from a few days ago?Although it is not the front page, the photos are eye-catching enough, and the title is even worse.But in any case, that is "once" the newspaper.

As Yan Xiaonan said, I am a creature with strong vitality, only inferior to a super invincible little weed like Yan Xiaonan.

"It's nothing, he...we broke up." I threw the newspaper on the ground and walked to the bathroom to wash up.

Yan Xiaonan was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed into the bathroom and asked, "Break up? He dumped you? He's still not human. You left your bright future and eloped with him to Hong Kong. It's less than three years old now." Yue, he broke up with you. Who is he, he is not as good as a beast."

What a great future for me, staying in Shanghai is just following Du Zeshan... that Du Zeshan... I squeezed out a long strip of toothpaste, and it took a long time to realize that the toothpaste had spilled on my hand.

"No, I'm going to kill him, this stinky man!" Yan Xiaonan is the kind of single-celled animal that can kill when she rolls up her sleeves. I believe she will definitely go to Zheng Kaiwen, even if she doesn't really kill him, Don't make that guy's life worse than death.But I don't want her to do that.

I grabbed her and said calmly: "Forget it, Xiaonan. I said earlier that even if I make a mess in the end, it is still my life, and I will face it by myself. This matter has nothing to do with anyone. It doesn't matter to anyone, you don't have to avenge me."

Yan Xiaonan blinked, I've seen her bewildered expression a lot.When I was in high school, I saw this expression when I was reading in English. When I bought clothes in a specialty store, I saw this expression on the price tag. Later, when I saw Jiang Yang and I were together, I also had this expression.She looked at me for a long time, and suddenly cried out: "Oh, you rubbed toothpaste on my pajamas. This dress costs thousands of dollars."

"Didn't you sleep without clothes? When did you wear such expensive pajamas?" I shook off the toothpaste in my hand and brushed my teeth under the tap.

"Aren't I afraid that the cool guy will come back suddenly? It would be embarrassing to get up and put on clothes suddenly." She stood next to me and wiped the toothpaste stains on the clothes with a towel. She said: "Look at people like you, who value sex over friends. At that time, I had a high fever of 39 degrees. You still miss men."

Yan Xiaonan said shamelessly: "It's the first day you know me. I've never been shy about expressing my admiration for top quality men."

It's great that I can finally go back to my old life again.I hugged her suddenly and let her struggle with the wet towel in my arms.

I stuck out my tongue at her, drew the shower curtain and went to take a shower.When she came out, Yan Xiaonan was already sitting in front of the dressing table putting on lipstick.This guy is really the kind of person who will die in such a beautiful dress even if the sky falls.I shook my head helplessly, seeing half of the cold medicine on the table, I must have been ill for several days.

I took the pill and lost my mind for a while before I said, "Xiaonan, when did you arrive in Hong Kong?"

"It's been almost a week. I came to Hong Kong because of a job. I have almost finished shooting. I was planning to go back, so I asked me to take a group of photos. I will call you these few days You keep leaving messages on the phone, and I have issued a 24-hour hunting order, but you still haven't come out to see me. Is your phone... not with you?"

It suddenly occurred to me that all my things were still in Zheng Kaiwen's apartment, including my passport.

"Luo Xin, what's wrong with that guy?" Yan Xiaonan grabbed the lipstick as if holding a kitchen knife, gritted his teeth and said, "Is he stepping on a few boats again?"

"No..." I wiped my hair and said, "This matter is too complicated. Anyway, it's none of his business."

Yes, it's really none of his business.

That night, Zheng Kaiwen said such vicious words, but his whole body was trembling, his voice was floating, and his black pupils were full of pain like knife marks.Although I don't know why, I believe that not all of what he said that night were true.However, the result is doomed, no matter what it is for, he finally gave up on me.

"You still say good things for him, you are really stupid." She put on the lipstick cap, looked at me and said, "Anyway, the points are divided, what are your plans now?"

"Go back to Shanghai, find a job, and support yourself."

Yes, I'm going to start over, live my own life, and all that shit, let it die.

Yan Xiaonan sighed: "Educated women are good, and they can start again at the age of 30. Those of us who eat youthful food are about to be laid off. All the young girls who are succulent in the Yangtze River are pushing the waves ahead. I am about to die in On the beach. How do you always have the courage to start over, do you know how difficult the word 're' is for me."

"I have almost died once. Now that I am alive, I must continue to live." I combed my hair, suddenly realized, and shouted at her: "Why am I 30 years old? I am only 28 years and seven months old. ..."

We wandered around Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, and Admiralty every day.

Because I didn't have any money or a credit card, I could only threaten Yan Xiaonan to stay with me, pay for me, and spend money for me.Fortunately, I used to pay for her, and she is used to idleness, and she has finished her work these few days, so she has a lot of time to accompany me to heal the trauma of broken love.

For us two shopaholics, there is no better place than DFS. We walked around a dozen times upstairs and downstairs, and each of us carried a dozen bags in our hands.However, the trophies will always belong to Yan Xiaonan, I am just a porter, and I wear all the few trophies on my body.

"Yan Xiaonan, I'm broken in love, shouldn't you comfort me? You even asked me to move things."

"You don't look like a broken relationship. A broken relationship should be like you did last time, crying and crying in my arms, crying until my pillowcase was wet, and crying so much that my colleague dragged me to the hospital to see trachoma, but it turned out that it was just a trachoma. It's just bloodshot. Look at you now, you can eat and sleep, your voice is so loud that it can kill a rhinoceros, it's like a broken love."

Yan Xiaonan pulled me to sit down at the coffee shop on the ground floor, bought two glasses of iced latte, and we each sipped.

"You recovered so quickly, it seems that you don't love Zheng Kaiwen at all..."

"Nonsense." I retorted flatly.

Yan Xiaonan bit the straw and thought, "That means you love Zheng Kaiwen and not Jiang Yangshen."

It is a pity that love has no measurement and cannot be used for comparison.

And every time I fall in love with someone, I do it wholeheartedly and with all my might.

It's just that when I fell in love with Jiang Yang, we were too young, too innocent, and had nothing but love.I love him with all my might.Losing him, the sky would fall apart, and there would be nothing left.But during the three years when the earth collapsed that day, I stood up again. I had the courage and strength to live independently, I had friends, I had a job, and I had my own life. Love took less and less weight, although I still I do my best with all my heart, but I can't love Zheng Kaiwen the way I love Jiang Yang.

Perhaps this is what metaphysics says, one cannot step into the same river twice.

"Maybe Kevin has his reasons for doing this..."

Yan Xiaonan choked on the coffee, and said after a long time: "It's hard to make Taiwanese dramas! Difficulties... Now even Aunt Qiong Yao is taking a nonsensical route, and she doesn't write this kind of bitter dramas." She knocked on the table in front of me and said loudly : "He dumped you, this is an indisputable fact. Don't dream, he is like Jiang Yang, it is absolutely impossible to come back to you again, you really think you are Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty."

"Yes, don't fight, don't fight." I have always been obedient to those who pay for me or pay me money.

Yan Xiaonan was right, Zheng Kaiwen gave up on me, and that was the final result.

I know, he won't come to me again.

But Jiang Yang has come back, in fact he came back very early, but we didn't know it.

I raised my hand and looked at my watch: "We should go back."

Yan Xiaonan sighed and said, "It's time to go back. My credit cards are maxed out. If I don't go back to work, I'm probably going to be chased by the bank."

When I arrived at the door on the first floor, Yan Xiaonan suddenly stuffed me with a large bag and said, "I forgot to take the receipt, wait for me." I stood there holding a pile of pockets, stumbling around, yelling: "Yan Xiaonan, I only have two hands, you really think of me as your slave."

Yan Xiaonan looked back and smiled, "Where can I find such an expensive slave like you."

At this moment, a black Cadillac suddenly stopped in front of me.The sound of sudden braking was as harsh as a blade cutting through glass. Before I could see who those people were, someone had already held my arm and pressed my head and pushed me into the car. The shopping on my two arms The bag fell to the ground.

I screamed.

Yan Xiaonan suddenly turned around and rushed towards me without even thinking about it. I don't know how much she fought, but in the end she was also pushed into the car.

This scene is a bit similar to the one I was kidnapped in Shanghai, only worse than worse.

But these people were not as vicious as last time.

After these people pushed us into the car one after another, they squeezed us in the back seat from left to right.A person pressed my shoulder and said in a low voice: "Miss Liang, you'd better not move around, we are just ordered to take you to meet someone, and we won't hurt you."

I woke up suddenly, alertly said: "Who?"

The man didn't answer me, but just looked ahead coldly and said, "Drive."

The passers-by around seemed to be used to watching TVB cutscenes, watching with cold eyes. Perhaps the question they were thinking about was: When will this drama be broadcast?

Yan Xiaonan glanced dishonestly from side to side, and asked me in a low Shanghai dialect: "Luo Xin, people say that almost all the Cadillacs are gangsters, which seems to be true. Does Nongsa Shengguang know Hong Kong gangsters?"

How should I answer this question? If what Zheng Kaiwen said is true, then I may have been in this muddy water for a long time without knowing it.

The two people holding us left and right remained calm, as if they didn't care about Yan Xiaonan's communication with me.

It's a good thing they didn't stun Yan Xiaonan with the butt of the gun, so she still admired the roadside scenery with some satisfaction.But I knew the seriousness of this matter. I pushed the person beside me and said, "You just want to take me to see that person and let my friend go. It doesn't matter if she follows this matter."

The man's drooping eyelids moved, and he said, "Let her go, and she will go to the police."

"She won't." I looked at Yan Xiaonan.

Yan Xiaonan also glanced at me, shrugged and said, "I said no, they wouldn't believe it."

I glared at her, Yan Xiaonan's nerves are sometimes thicker than macaroni, and the blood in the brain must be more mushy than tofu.

"Miss Liang, don't worry, we won't hurt you and your friends."

"Then let her go."

"No."

"..."

But Yan Xiaonan came over and said to me in Shanghainese dialect: "Actually, they are not bad. They don't look like the kind of bad people. If they want to kill us, we should kill them. I only saw gangsters on TV. Now If I have the opportunity to experience it myself, it may be useful when filming in the future.”

I'm almost full of smoke, this guy's internal organs must only contain one thing, which is gallbladder.

At this time, the car had already entered the mountain road, circled nine bends and eighteen bends, and finally stopped.

I looked up and it turned out to be a restaurant.

Those who "kidnapped" us took the elevator all the way up to the third floor. The moment the elevator door slammed open, I saw a high-end restaurant similar to the Bund French Restaurant.The lighting was dim enough to make me think I was suffering from night vision impairment.

The waitress smiled and said, "Welcome."

At this time, a group of people strode over from behind the waitress.

The big guys who "kidnapped" us nodded respectfully to the leader, and called out respectfully: "Brother Three."

I bit my lips angrily, stared at the humanity in front of me and said: "Su Xiaoquan, it's fine if you kidnap me, why do you want to kidnap my friend."

Su Xiaoquan raised his hand silently, and the service lady backed away.

He looked at me and said, "Miss Liang, the third master wants to see you. We have no choice but to invite you here like this. As for your friend..." He glanced at Yan Xiaonan briefly, this kind of person must be more beautiful It's too late, to be so calm towards a high-quality beauty like Yan Xiaonan.

"In order to ensure that she won't reveal your whereabouts and bring unnecessary people here, I told them to bring her too. But don't worry, we won't hurt her."

"Relax?! Ha, how can I be reassured about people like you."

"You can look down on 'people like us', but the people of the third master have always said what they say, and they will never fail to count."

He deliberately emphasized "people like us", which made me a little embarrassed. Although I always advocate equality for everyone, I said the offensive word "people like you" in front of him.I looked up at the crooked dining room, and my tone softened: "Who is the third master?"

"You'll know right away." Su Xiaoquan tilted his head slightly, and immediately two people came over to take Yan Xiaonan away.I grabbed Yan Xiaonan and said, "No, where are you taking her?"

"Just treat Miss Yan to have a drink. The third master doesn't like to be disturbed."

Yan Xiaonan suddenly tugged at me and said: "It's okay, he won't hurt me." I looked at Yan Xiaonan in surprise, this guy won't be so easily fascinated by Su Xiaoquan's beauty.Yan Xiaonan said in a low voice, "He was the one who sent you here that day."

Oh my god, I didn't notice just now that Yan Xiaonan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Su Xiaoquan.

Bypassing the crooked seats, Su Xiaoquan led me all the way to the innermost part of the restaurant.

The row of seats facing the sea view was all empty, only a man sat on one of the dining tables, enjoying the eight large dishes and eight small dishes of food in front of him.He actually eats Chinese food in a western restaurant, I can't figure out how he did it.I saw the signs on those plates and I knew the dishes were from different restaurants.

I just feel horrible.

In the entire restaurant, he was the only one eating, enjoying the [-]-foot luxury restaurant with an invincible sea view.If it were Yan Xiaonan and I sitting here, we would have been happy long ago.But I couldn't see a trace of joy on his face.

Everyone is within three meters of him.

I think he must have no friends.Even those closest to him, he has to find a way to send them far away, incognito, in order to ensure their safety.He must not dare to eat French fries in a fast food restaurant, he must not line up to buy stinky tofu, he must not have a candlelight dinner with the person he likes, and he must put a gun under his pillow anytime, anywhere.

Does he also feel that the high place is extremely cold, and there is no one to talk to?But even for such a small thing as losing an inch of my waist, I wanted to run to Yan Xiaonan to show off.

My first feeling towards him turned out to be like this, and I thought it was incredible.

He is indeed scary, but I am not as afraid of him as Kevin Cheng said.

Maybe this is what Yan Xiaonan said, I'm so stupid.

All the people outside, including Su Xiaoquan's people, just stood guard at the door and in the corridor, everyone exuded a dangerous and cold aura, this restaurant doesn't need air conditioning at all.

Su Xiaoquan walked over and said something to that person, and then the person raised his head and looked at me.

Under the dim light of the restaurant's ceiling, I finally saw his face clearly.I didn't expect his eyebrows and eyes to be so similar to the Jiang Yang I knew.I already knew who he was and who he could be.It's just that I can't guess his age, maybe forty, maybe fifty, but why does it look like he is only in his thirties.

His short hair is neatly cut, black and white, and he wears a dark gray casual suit. He maintains a pretty good figure, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and a straight back.

He nodded, Su Xiaoquan retreated.

Under the command of his gaze, I involuntarily took two steps forward.

He looked at me, his eyes shone with a radiant light after years of wear and tear, all his vicissitudes had been digested by him and brewed into a convincing spirit.

The eyebrows flying into the temples and the eyes with a murderous smile remind me of the characters in the novel.

This is Meng Junshan.
