Extra 3. Family (3)
The three of them walked to the car. Chen Runsong suddenly staggered and almost fell down.
“Songsong.” Jiang Xianfan quickly hugged him with quick eyes and put his palms against his cold back, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Brother.” Lin Yan hurriedly gathered around and was horrified to see her brother’s face turned pale.
Chen Runsong couldn’t tell where the pain came from. He could only feel that his chest was so tight that he couldn’t breathe.He held his heart and calmed down, his voice trembling uncontrollably: “It’s okay, go home.”
“Okay, let’s go home.” Jiang Xianfan hugged him tighter, took out the key and handed it to Lin Yan, “Xiaoyan, go drive.”
“Hey, okay.” Lin Yan glanced at her brother worriedly, then quickly took the keys and got into the driver’s seat.
Jiang Xianfan helped Chen Runsong sit in the back seat and dialed the phone with his fingertips: “Rebecca, book the three fastest tickets to Nancheng back to Beijing and contact the hotel to send your luggage back as soon as possible.”
After hanging up the phone, he discovered that Chen Runsong was looking out the window in a trance, his eyes as empty as a layer of fog, but his hand was still pressed firmly against his heart.Jiang Xianfan said nothing, just covered his hand and gently rubbed it for him with his fingertips.
Outside the car window, everything in Fengzhen was going backwards and slowly moving away.The dazzling array of ceramic stalls, tall chimneys built with red bricks, workers pushing carts, the gentle and moist spring breeze, and the leafy camphor trees are all like a dream that is falling apart.
It turns out that he is from the south. It turns out that his surname is Cheng, not Chen. It turns out that even if he finds his parents, he can’t find his family.
After twenty years of trying my best, I just had a big dream.
With sobs stuck in his chest, Chen Runsong felt like he was drowning in the deep sea, and the feeling of suffocation was overwhelming.His hands were shaking more and more violently, and his face was getting paler. Jiang Xianfan hugged him tighter and whispered comfort in his ear.
Chen Runsong slowly raised his head and touched Jiang Xianfan’s cheek with a trembling hand. His eyes were full of despair and grievance that he had never seen before. Tears fell on the back of Jiang Xianfan’s hand, which was shockingly hot. “Jiang Xianfan… I really have no home…”
His tears and words hit Jiang Xianfan’s heart painfully. He opened his mouth tremblingly, but could not say a word.Feeling distressed, she held the person in her arms, covering him as tightly as she held a child, as if this could build a safe fortress for him. The child in his arms finally dropped all his defenses and was buried in his arms, sobbing in pain.
Lin Yan caught a glimpse of her always tall and omnipotent brother in the rearview mirror. He shrank into a small ball at this moment, and his vision was blurred by tears.She quickly raised her hand to erase it, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and looked forward again to continue moving forward.
It was late at night when the three of them got home. Chen Runsong seemed so exhausted after crying that he didn’t even have time to take a shower, so he fell into a deep sleep.
“Brother Jiang…” Lin Yan scratched the door frame and stared at her brother worriedly. Jiang Xianfan patted her shoulder and said softly, “It’s okay. You can go and rest. I’ll watch over him.”
Lin Yan nodded slowly and returned to her room three times at a time.
After Jiang Xianfan washed up, he twisted out a warm towel, carefully wiped Chen Runsong’s body, and put on soft pajamas.Chen Runsong showed no response during the whole process. Jiang Xianfan couldn’t help but nervously probed his nose several times to confirm that the warm breath was still there, and then he felt relieved.
Chen Runsong finally made some noise in the middle of the night, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, covered in cold sweat and mumbling.Jiang Xianfan circled him in his arms and coaxed him gently, repeating it several times before finally getting through it until dawn.
Early in the morning, Chen Runsong was awakened by his biological clock.Turning around, he saw that Jiang Xianfan was still sleeping deeply. He tried to climb out of bed lightly, but as soon as he moved, he found that his waist was tightly held by the other party, making him unable to move.
“Where are you going?” Jiang Xianfan was awakened by his movements, his voice still had a thick nasal sound.
“I’ll go to the store, you can sleep a little longer.” Chen Runsong leaned over and whispered in his ear, but he didn’t expect Jiang Xianfan to tighten his buttons even more.
“Don’t go.” Jiang Xianfan pulled the man back into his arms and advised him to “rest for two days.”
“Oh no, something is really wrong.” Chen Runsong finally escaped from his clutches, and Jiang Xianfan had no choice but to get up with him.
“You go about your business, and don’t follow me.” Chen Runsong saw Jiang Xianfan pick up a set of casual clothes in the cabinet, and he didn’t look like he was going to work.
“It’s okay, I’m not busy.” Jiang Xianfan quickly put on his clothes, washed up, took his hand and walked out. As soon as he reached the living room, he bumped into Lin Yan, who had gotten up early.
“Brother, Brother Jiang, where are you going?”
“Let’s go to the store.” Chen Runsong said as he walked to the door and bent down to change his shoes. “Why did you get up so early? Is it eight in the morning today?”
“Well, yes…” Lin Yan secretly observed her brother’s face, feeling much better than yesterday, and felt relieved.
“Hey, brother.” As soon as Chen Runsong grasped the door handle, he was stopped by Lin Yan.”What are you doing?” Chen Runsong turned around and looked over. Lin Yan rarely stammered and hesitated, “Well… I, I want to download our household registration book.”
“Why do you want that?” Chen Runsong looked at her coquettish appearance and couldn’t help teasing, “Hey, are you going to run away with some handsome guy and beauty with your household registration book?”
“Oops! What are you talking about? Our school needs it!” At this moment, Lin Yan confirmed that her brother was really well, and started to talk again.
Chen Runsong wilted, and he laughed in annoyance at the person he was teasing: “Okay, okay, go to my room and get it, put it in the desk drawer.”
The two of them went out, and Jiang Xianfan worked with him in the store from morning to night. He put on an apron and packed bags in the store to greet customers.
Probably because of his outstanding appearance, he also met several girls and boys who asked for his contact information.Jiang Xianfan politely refused at first, but after dealing with too much, he didn’t want to talk anymore. Chen Runsong saw him pointing at himself in the decoration room, and the people left.
After finishing the work at hand, Chen Runsong took off his mask and walked to Jiang Xianfan. He watched him fold the cake box skillfully and said, “Hey, what did you tell them?”
“They asked for my contact information, and I said to ask him, my boyfriend.” Jiang Xianfan glanced at Chen Runsong in a calm tone, and continued to fold the boxes with his fingers, but Chen Runsong was laughing like crazy beside him.
“Hahahahaha.” He smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe the oil on the person’s chin. “Okay, from now on, all my customers will know that I have a handsome boyfriend.”
When the two returned home in the evening, Chen Runsong went to the bathroom to take a shower first. When he came out, he heard Jiang Xianfan talking on the phone with Rebecca, “Well, the luggage, computer, and documents have all been sent over.”
“About the company?” Seeing him hang up the phone, Chen Runsong came over and said, “You can go back to work in the company tomorrow. What’s the point of being here all the time? I can’t afford to hire you.”
“It’s okay.” Jiang Xianfan stretched out his hand and slid it across his moist cheek, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
When he came out of the bathroom, Rebecca arrived. Not only did she perfectly deliver the luggage and the ceramics she bought at that time, but she also brought a pile of work documents to Jiang Xianfan.
“Thank you for your hard work Rebecca! Come in and have a glass of water.” Chen Runsong took the things and walked in, greeting her warmly.
“Come in and sit down?” Jiang Xianfan stood at the door, wearing the couple’s home clothes that Chen Runsong bought for him. It was made of soft cotton and had some cartoon patterns on it. This was the first time for Rebecca to be such a boss, so she couldn’t help but take a second look.
“Uh… no.” Rebecca smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Jiang Xianfan was blocking the door and not letting anyone in, it was better to be wise.”I have something else to do, so I’ll leave now. See you, Mr. Jiang, and see you, Boss Chen.”
“Okay, bye, drive slower at night.” Chen Runsong was squatting on the ground cleaning the wheels of the suitcase, and raised his head and waved to her.
“Songsong, come here.” Jiang Xianfan came over and pulled him up to the room without any explanation.
“What are you doing? We haven’t finished cleaning up yet.” Chen Runsong struggled and was reluctantly dragged into the bedroom by him.
Jiang Xianfan took out a few pieces of paper from the document bag Rebecca brought and handed them to him: “Sign.”
“Whatever, just sign.” Chen Runsong threw the rag aside, washed his hands and took it, joking with a smile, “You don’t want me to give your company five hundred years of free afternoon tea, then I won’t do it.”
But after reading a few pages, the smile on his face froze. Holding the equity transfer document between his fingertips, he frowned and asked Jiang Xianfan, “What are you going to do?”
“Songsong…” Before Jiang Xianfan could say anything, Chen Runsong interrupted him, “Jiang Xianfan, I don’t have any money, but I won’t give you 150,000 to make up for it. What do you think of me?”
“No…Songsong.” Jiang Xianfan took his hand, but he interrupted him again, “Don’t pity me, I told you a long time ago!”
His tone was angry, and Jiang Xianfan had no choice but to hug him from behind and cover his mouth helplessly, “No, it’s not like that. Just listen to me, okay?”
Chen Runsong struggled for a while and finally calmed down. He slowly removed his hand and said softly, “Songsong, this share is not Leading Art. It is a small company I opened with my friends abroad when I was studying abroad. I am not a major shareholder, and the shares are very small.”
He turned Chen Runsong’s body and made him face him. He lowered his head and said softly: “This is not to pity you or anything else. It was prepared before we went to Nancheng, but the company is abroad and the procedures are very cumbersome, which has delayed it until now. Didn’t you say at that time that I was your family and your lover?”
Jiang Xianfan spoke so sincerely that Chen Runsong couldn’t help but look up at him and said, “Then you don’t have to…”
“It’s useful!” Jiang Xianfan interrupted him forcefully. “You bought the house without asking me to pay a penny, but you decorated it the way I like it. You always gave me the best food to eat, bought me comfortable clothes, cared about me, and loved me. It was you who gave me a home.”
His eyes were sincere and hot, and these words were like giving Chen Runsong an unparalleled piece of cake, making him unable to speak any more.
Jiang Xianfan touched his face gently, “You said you couldn’t find a home, but isn’t that our home? You, me, my sister and my friends. You gave me a lot.”
“I also want to give you something, but I have very few things. Almost all of them belong to the Jiang family and never belong to me. There is only this small company, which I started from scratch with my friends. Can you accept it as a gift to your family?” Jiang Xianfan’s voice was low, too gentle. Chen Runsong looked into his eyes, as if he were seeing the most innocent and enthusiastic child in the world.
This child never knew who his father was. His mother did not expect him to come into this world at all and wished he would die. The family had always only treated him as a tool to cultivate him.But the child who has grown up like this still loves himself so deeply.
Chen Runsong just looked at him, stretched out his hand to touch the scar on his forehead, his eyes gradually turned red, but the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and the two shallow dimples were particularly eye-catching, and he softly responded, “Okay.”
When Jiang Xianfan saw his promise, the smile in his eyes instantly overflowed. He leaned over and kissed him firmly. Chen Runsong slowly closed his eyes, tears falling down his cheeks and falling on their chests.He sighed in his heart, God, you are so cruel and merciful, allowing two children who have families but are homeless to make a real home.
Jiang Xianfan never kissed him, for fear that he would regret it, so he immediately asked him to sign with a pen.
Chen Runsong wiped away his tears, signed his name, and looked up at him, “You’re really weird. Do you know that in everyone’s eyes, it’s a big deal that I can talk about a boyfriend like you, but you are the only one who is afraid that I will run away.”
Jiang Xianfan held the transfer letter and looked at it with satisfaction, carefully put it in the drawer, then turned around and hugged Chen Runsong and kissed it, “You are unique and the best.”
The concentration of love talk today was a little too high. Chen Runsong felt a little numb and said, “Okay, don’t get tired of it. Go to bed and go back to your company tomorrow.” He tried to squeeze away from Jiang Xianfan, but was held down again.
Chen Runsong stared at the arm across his waist, knowing that he probably wouldn’t have to run today, and sighed helplessly.
In fact, Chen Runsong always felt that he was one of the strongest, but when they first met, the two refused to give in to each other, and they couldn’t deal with each other for a while.It was then that he realized that this person was as secretive as him.That is to say, he was not sure, and Jiang Xianfan was coaxing and begging, otherwise he wouldn’t have…
“Songsong…” Jiang Xianfan brought the person to the bed, kissed him tenderly, and dug his fingers into the hem of the two people’s pajamas of the same style, touching their tight abdominal muscles.Chen Runsong looks thin, but he has been working all year round, and the muscles on his body are flexible and tight, and he feels very good in the hand.
Chen Runsong blushed and gasped at his touch. He raised his hand to unbutton his shirt and urged, “Hurry up if you want to come.”
Jiang Xianfan chuckled, raised his hand to unbutton his shirt, and slowly moved closer.He lowered his head and continued to kiss Chen Runsong, his eyes, the tip of his nose, his lips, and then stopped on the pulsating blue blood vessels in his neck, and he opened his mouth and bit it.
“Hiss—” Chen Runsong felt the sting of the bite and cursed in a low voice, “You are a dog, you bite people every day.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xianfan responded without raising his head.
“What can you do?” Chen Runsong was stunned.
“Okay, I can be your dog.” Jiang Xianfan raised his head with a smile and reached out to make trouble.
Chen Runsong’s chest felt itchy and numb. He grabbed Jiang Xianfan’s mischievous hand and said with a smile, “Come on, just be my person. I don’t want you to be a dog.”
After saying that, he rolled over and sat up with a smile on his face, “But if you want to make me happy, it’s very simple, just change the position.”
Jiang Xianfan looked at him from bottom to top with extremely serious eyes, “What’s wrong? I didn’t do it well enough? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” He took Chen Runsong’s hand and said very solemnly: “I’m learning.”
Chen Runsong got angry when he mentioned this. At the beginning, both of them were inexperienced. Apart from psychological compatibility, there was nothing else to talk about.But Jiang Xianfan, a person who always strives for perfection, learned some miscellaneous things from somewhere and used them all on Chen Runsong, which drove him crazy.
“Don’t learn from me anymore. I’ve learned all the nonsense from you.” Chen Runsong broke away and patted his face. “It’s better to obey me. I guarantee you will be happy.”
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Xianfan’s hand suddenly became tense.
“Damn it, you made a sneak attack!” Chen Runsong stretched out his hand to pull him out, but lost the opportunity.
“Jiang Xianfan…” Chen Runsong took his arm, and the sparkling traces of the kiss still remained on his lips, like the most delicious strawberry on the strawberry cake wrapped in sugar, overflowing with sweetness.
“What’s wrong, dear?” Jiang Xianfan came closer to him, licked away the honey, and left new marks on his neck.
“Hurry up.” Chen Runsong felt very hot. There was a fire burning in his body, and it was about to spread to every corner of his body.
“Okay.” Jiang Xianfan chuckled.
…
Chen Runsong suddenly felt as if a long fuse was lit, and numbness was running around in his body, trying to find the final fireworks.He closed his eyes, as if he were sitting on a lead and flying. As he felt, the distance between the fireworks and the end was getting shorter and shorter.
Jiang Xianfan stared at him, his eyes full of attachment.They were so close, as if they were the closest people in the world.An indescribable sense of satisfaction filled Jiang Xianfan, making him unable to restrain himself any longer.
If Chen Runsong had just been lighting up fireworks, now he was dancing on them. A numbing sensation like bathing in popping candy swept over his body instantly.
Jiang Xianfan simply couldn’t love him anymore. He thought, maybe this is where he belongs, and being with him is the most natural thing in the world.He held Chen Runsong’s neck in his mouth, and the moment he bit it, fireworks finally exploded between the two of them.
At noon the next day, in order not to wake up Chen Runsong, who was still sleeping, Jiang Xianfan moved his computer to the dining table to work, with a cup of steaming coffee beside him.This is the Bourbon that Chen Runsong bought specially for him. He even got a coffee machine for him at home, just so that he can drink the flavor he likes when he comes here occasionally.
The door was pushed open, and Lin Yan poked her head in. She was obviously stunned when she saw Jiang Xianfan, and then said hello: “Brother Jiang.” She did not expect that Jiang Xianfan was still here at this point.
“Yeah.” Jiang Xianfan raised his eyes, his fingers still typing on the keyboard, “No classes in the afternoon?”
“Yes.” Lin Yan nodded and glanced around the room, “Brother Jiang, is my brother at home? I went to the store to look for him after class, but I didn’t see anyone and no one answered the phone. I’m a little worried about him.”
“Yes, still sleeping.” Jiang Xianfan took a sip of coffee and answered in a calm tone..
“Ah? What’s wrong with him!” Chen Runsong always got up early. Lin Yan subconsciously thought that he was still thinking about the bad things in the Cheng family, and felt uncomfortable, so she raised her feet to go into the room.
“Hey.” Jiang Xianfan stretched out his hand to stop her, “He’s fine, he’s just tired. Let him sleep.”
“Ah?…Oh…” Lin Yan returned doubtfully, but the door to Chen Runsong’s room opened at this moment.”Why are you looking for your brother?” Chen Runsong leaned against the door frame and yawned in distress.
“Songsong.” Jiang Xianfan immediately stood up and walked over, reaching out to straighten his somewhat messy collar, “I’ll heat up a glass of milk for you and take you out to eat later.”
“Yeah.” Chen Runsong sat at the dining table, and Lin Yan immediately sat down next to him, but her eyes couldn’t help but stare at her brother’s bruises that couldn’t be covered by his pajamas, and there was even a tooth mark hanging on his neck.
“Tsk.” Chen Runsong’s frightened Lin Yan instantly came back to her senses. Her eyes quickly fell back on her brother’s face, smiling flatteringly.
“Hey, brother.” She took out a small red notebook from her bag, held it in both hands and handed it to Chen Runsong, with a solemn look on her face, “Look at this.”
Chen Runsong took it with a confused look on his face: “What are you doing?”
“You’ll know after you open it and take a look.” Lin Yan urged.
“What are you looking at? Haven’t you read the household registration book?” Chen Runsong opened it impatiently, “You can’t really secretly add a brother-in-law to it, right?”
This household registration was specially opened after Lin Jiande was arrested. Chen Runsong bought a house, and Lin Yan was registered under his account. But at this moment, it turned out that Lin Yan’s name appeared in the column of previous names, and the name was clearly written as Chen Yan.
“You…” Chen Runsong was stunned, staring at Lin Yan with slightly opened lips.
“How about it, sounds nice, hehe.” Lin Yan patted her new name proudly, “I asked the police officer who arrested you at the time to help me and wrote a lot of materials, otherwise I won’t be allowed to change your last name.”
“Are you crazy!” Chen Runsong saw that she was doing this on her own initiative, and slammed her household registration book on the table. “The certificates you took before, the teachers and classmates who knew you, and all the relevant files all used the original names! Does this mean it should be changed!”
“Oh, it’s okay, brother, these can all be updated.” Lin Yan explained, “I haven’t graduated yet, so it won’t have much impact. The graduation certificate will also have a new name in the future…”
“I don’t need you to do this!” Chen Runsong’s hand fell heavily on the table. “You just need to read your book with peace of mind! What’s the importance of your last name? Don’t care about these things. The more you care about them, the more the past events will haunt you!”
Jiang Xianfan heard the commotion and came over with milk. Seeing Chen Runsong’s rare temper with Lin Yan, he picked up the household registration book on the table and took a look, and roughly understood what the brother and sister were arguing about.
“I didn’t care!” Lin Yan’s voice rose a few degrees and she yelled urgently, “Why can’t I take your last name if everything is the same! My mother died after a few years without raising me. It was you who brought me up. It’s obvious that I’m not your biological sister. It’s obviously my father who abducted you. It’s obvious… I’m the one who deserves to die… but you still… still raised me…”
Lin Yan’s voice became choked with sobs as she spoke, and her tears were like a bursting river, instantly wetting her clothes.
Chen Runsong saw her face full of tears, and immediately explained in a panic, with a softer tone: “I’m not… don’t think about that, it has nothing to do with you.” He quickly took out a few pieces of paper from the table and stuffed them into her hands, “I just… I just don’t want you to be stuck in such an obsession all your life like me.”
Chen Runsong fell down on the chair and said dejectedly, “I didn’t want to be called Lin Feng, so I tried my best to escape, thinking that I would be able to find myself after I came out. But after twenty years of hard work, in the end, my surname is still Chen, not Cheng.” He lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.
But soon, he raised his head again and looked at Lin Yan and Jiang Xianfan with relief, “But I have you, and it doesn’t matter what my name is now. So Yan’er, if you change your name out of repayment or guilt, it’s really not necessary. I can’t afford it. There’s no need for this.”
His voice was very gentle, and Lin Yan slowly stopped crying, raised her tearful eyes to look at him, and said in a choked voice, “I…I’m not feeling guilty…I just…I just don’t want to take that bastard’s last name anymore, and I don’t want to repay a favor. You raised me, so I should take your last name.”
Lin Yan wiped her tears, but as soon as she dried them, new tears welled up again. “If you ask me to change it again, I can’t change it back. I just went to school to update my name… It’s so troublesome…”
She started to cry as she talked, “You don’t know how troublesome it is to change your name, wuwu…we are not directly related, and they won’t let me change it…I wrote a lot of materials, and went several times to get it done…wuwu…wu…”
Chen Runsong felt embarrassed when he looked at his sister, who was twenty years old and still cried like a big snot bubble.”Okay, okay.” He handed over the remaining half of the packet of paper on the table. “Just change it. You are right. I raised you, so you should have my last name. That’s it.”
Lin Yan stopped crying immediately, “That’s what you said.”
“Yes, I said it, Chen Yan!” Chen Runsong shook his head helplessly and glanced at the time, “Hey, if you don’t have classes this afternoon, why are you still at home!”
“Oh my God.” Chen Yan cried so much that it was almost time for class. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom to wash her face. When she came out, she took Chen Runsong’s hand and solemnly confessed: “Brother, don’t worry, my children will definitely have my last name from now on, that is, your last name! I will provide for you in your old age and let the old Chen family pass it on from generation to generation!”
“Tsk.” Chen Runsong threw her hand away in disgust, “Don’t talk about that feudal daddy’s shit. You can live your life well and go to class.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll get out!” Lin Yan made a face at him, then turned to Jiang Xianfan and waved, “Goodbye, brother Jiang, you two can continue the world together!” After saying that, she quickly ran downstairs.
Chen Runsong picked up the household registration book on the table and opened it again. Jiang Xianfan hugged him from behind, rubbed it, and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
He reached out and touched Chen Yan’s new name on it, feeling a little melancholy, “She said those words… Do you think Yan’er is really not guilty?”
“You will feel guilty when you have love, but she loves you more than you feel guilty.” Jiang Xianfan hugged him, took the household registration book and looked through it again. The first page was Chen Runsong, the second page was Chen Yan, and his fingers stayed on the third blank page.
“I also want to take your last name, so I’ll put it on this page.” Jiang Xianfan tapped the third page and was a little dissatisfied. “It would be better if it could be on the second page.”
“Oh my god.” Chen Runsong broke away from his arms and shook his head and walked to the room. “You two, please spare me.”
“Isn’t it possible? Xiaoyan can do it.” Jiang Xianfan chased after him reluctantly, “It’s really not possible, but the third page is also ok.”
“Shut up, you!!”
“Songsong..”
