Extra 3. Family (1)

Ever since Chen Runsong received the news last time that he went to Haicheng to find relatives, his whole person had changed. Jiang Xianfan was the first to notice that something was wrong with him.

He still seems to be laughing and making trouble, but he is always absent-minded. He is still in a daze from time to time, not knowing what he is thinking. Even the afternoon tea delivered to Leading Art several times went wrong. You know, Chen Runsong is a person who can handle several complex orders at the same time.

There have been a lot of mistakes recently, and Chen Runsong was busy until night. When Jiang Xianfan came to pick him up, he was still checking the contents of tomorrow’s order at the front desk.

He was looking at the list so intently that he didn’t notice that Jiang Xianfan had walked behind him.

“Aren’t you done yet?” Jiang Xianfan suddenly asked Chen Runsong from behind, leaning against his cheek.

“Damn.” Chen Runsong’s hand holding the list shook in fright, “When did you come?”

“I’ve been here for a long time.” He sat down next to Chen Runsong and twisted his apron string with his fingers several times.

“Well, I’ll be fine soon.” Chen Runsong thought of something again as he looked at the last few lines and asked him, “Where will I sleep today.”

The two of them usually wait for each other to get off work when they are not busy, but since they both have their own residences, they are not sure where to sleep every day.

“Go to my place.” Jiang Xianfan said calmly. Looking at Chen Runsong’s profile, he felt that he had lost a lot of weight recently. He vaguely knew that his abnormality must be related to the matter of finding his relatives. He wanted to ask but didn’t know how to ask.

“Let’s go.” Chen Runsong finally finished his work, packed his things and got into Jiang Xianfan’s car.

There was soothing light music playing in the car, and the people who used to chatter like crosstalk were now leaning on the passenger seat, staring blankly at the street lights passing by outside the window. It was so quiet that it made people feel panicked.

“Where are you going? This is it.” After driving for a while, Chen Runsong realized that the road was getting farther and farther away, and was not heading towards Jiang Xianfan’s house at all.

Jiang Xianfan didn’t answer, his lips tightened, and he drove forward. Chen Runsong smiled and didn’t ask any questions, waiting to see where the young master wanted to send him.

The car drove for half an hour before it stopped at the edge of Dinghe Park. “Let’s go.” Jiang Xianfan got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a shopping bag.

Chen Runsong opened it curiously and said, “Hey, what’s the big happy event today? I’m so excited.” There was actually a bag of beer inside.

“No, just… drink whatever you want.” Jiang Xianfan was worried about Chen Runsong, but didn’t know how to speak, so he thought of this method. He felt that he must be a better drinker than Chen Runsong, and thought that drinking two more drinks with him would relieve his depression, and maybe he could get something out of him.

“Just drink, can’t you just stay at home? Why do you have to find a place so far away at night? Ah sneeze.” As soon as Chen Runsong finished speaking, the cold wind blew by and he couldn’t help but sneeze.

It was still very cold in the early spring night in Beijing. Chen Runsong sweated every day while working in the store, so he only wore a thin jacket, but it was a bit unbearable outside.

Jiang Xianfan stopped, took off his coat and put it on Chen Runsong. He just thought that drinking by the river at night was a very romantic thing. Drinking in the river and talking about your thoughts at night, the atmosphere was so good, but he forgot to take the seasonal factors into consideration…

The two of them walked together in the cold wind. A red plank road was built by the river and they found a seat to block the wind. Some residents nearby were running at night. They passed by the two of them from time to time, looked at them strangely, and then hurried away.

“Cheers-” As soon as he sat down, Chen Runsong opened a can of beer and reached out to touch Jiang Xianfan.

Jiang Xianfan frowned after taking a sip. Unexpectedly, the wine bought in the supermarket tasted a bit astringent. If he had known it, he would have brought some wine from home.

“Aren’t you used to drinking?” Chen Runsong smiled and watched as his eyebrows knitted together.

“A bit.” Jiang Xianfan usually drinks mostly red wine, but occasionally drinks white wine when socializing. He does drink less beer.Even so, he still raised his head and took two big gulps.

Seeing how generous he was, Chen Runsong took a few sips, wrapped his coat around him, touched Jiang Xianfan’s shoulder and asked, “Hey, when was the first time you drank.”

Jiang Xianfan turned his head. Chen Runsong’s eyes were bright in the night. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said: “Well… I’m very young. I forgot how old I was because my mother always liked to drink. I was curious about what it tasted like, so I tasted it secretly.”

“I didn’t expect that.” Chen Runsong laughed. “I thought you were the kind of person who waits until he is 18 before drinking.”

Jiang Xianfan ignored his teasing and continued to drink his wine. Then he remembered the purpose of today and considered how to speak.

“Let’s play it real.” Chen Runsong suddenly said, “Otherwise, it would be boring to do this and drink too much.”

“Okay.” Doze came and gave him a pillow, which was exactly what Jiang Xianfan wanted.

“Then let’s use scissors and bear the burden of hammer. The loser will either answer a question or punish himself with a can.” Chen Runsong is already gearing up and ready.

“Scissors and a hammer!”

“Humph, I won.” Chen Runsong shook his fist, pondered for a moment and asked him: “Well…if you send your mother to a nursing home, will you miss her very much?”

Jiang Xianfan turned his head when he heard the words and found that Chen Runsong was not looking at him. He was looking forward, the wind blowing the hair on his forehead, and he slowly drank the beer in his hand.

No one spoke in the dark night, and after a while, there was a soft sound of “stuck” the sound of a can being opened.

Since Jiang Linlang received those old letters, she has cooperated with the treatment, but she still refuses to have surgery, is taciturn, and refuses to go home. Jiang Xianfan had no choice but to send her to the best nursing home in Beijing and visit her from time to time.

But she seemed to have lost interest in everything. She was always staring at the sky alone, her eyes blank, never stopping at anyone.

So do you miss her?Or do you just want your mother?I don’t know, probably…

“Scissors and a hammer!”

“I won again! Haha.” Chen Runsong raised his eyebrows proudly, but this time he turned his head and stared directly into Jiang Xianfan’s eyes, “Have you been feeling better recently?”

Since falling in love with Jiang Xianfan, Chen Runsong has found that his restraint and needs have been constantly fighting.

Because of his mother’s incident some time ago, although the trauma seemed to be healed, he may not have felt better in his heart. During those days, Chen Runsheng felt that Jiang Xianfan wanted to hang around him every day. He would sit in the store on time after work, and would come up to hug him when he was not busy. He could not stick to him enough. It reminded him of Lin Yan who was always clinging to him when he was a child.

He knew that it was a kind of insecurity that was causing the problem, but Jiang Xianfan always acted like an adult. After a while, he continued to work with restraint, as if all this had never had any impact on him, and he was still the same Jiang Xianfan who was very good at everything he did.

But Chen Runsong knows,

He is lonely.

Jiang Xianfan’s Adam’s apple twitched, but without saying anything, he opened another can of beer and drank it down.

In the next few games, Chen Runsong had amazing luck and kept winning.Jiang Xianfan remained silent all the time. When he lost, he started drinking again, one bottle after another. His cheeks gradually turned red and his eyes began to wander.

“Hiccup-” Jiang Xianfan was so angry from the beer that he was sitting a little slanted and leaned towards Chen Runsong unconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Chen Runsong was obviously drunk. The night was cold, so he stood up and walked around to sit behind Jiang Xianfan. He opened his coat and pulled the person into his arms from behind.

Jiang Xianfan felt the warmth coming from all directions, and relaxed all over. He tilted his head and looked at him with drunken eyes, his eyes shining moistly in the night, like a puppy.

“Tell me, what do you want to ask me?” Chen Runsong suddenly said. He knew that Jiang Xianfan had something to say, but he didn’t expect that his luck was so bad that he didn’t use so many opportunities.

“I…” Jiang Xianfan was stunned for a moment. The alcohol made his brain spin a few beats slower, and he forgot the question he had been holding back for a long time.

After being quiet for a long time, he organized his words and spoke vaguely: “Last time…you went to Haicheng…what happened after that?”

Jiang Xianfan still tilted his head, and they were very close. Chen Runsong could smell the mixture of woody perfume and light alcohol on his body, which was not unpleasant.

“So it’s this…” Chen Runsong laughed softly, put his head on his shoulder, and slowly talked about Haicheng.

In fact, there were no reliable clues when he went to search for his family. A couple working in Haicheng said they saw his family tracing flyer and thought it looked like a lost child from their village. At that time, Chen Runsong went to Haicheng to ask about the situation. He originally had no hope, but the couple looked through the friends of the same villagers. Chen Runsong took one look. Even without a paternity test, Chen Runsong felt trembling in his heart.

It was so similar, the woman was exactly like him, and when the man smiled, he had the same dimples at the corners of his mouth.

Everything is so incredible,

However, in their circle of friends, there is not only the couple, but also a child.

The child’s age is only one year different from the year he was abducted.

The migrant couple said that the couple had been looking for it for a while, but couldn’t find it and had no choice but to have another one.

Chen Runsong finally left the phone number of the couple who lost their child, asked the migrant couple to send their photos, and carefully asked if they could meet for a paternity test.But the news fell silent and no reply was received.

They didn’t say no, and he didn’t dare to ask.

Many times he wanted to call that number and ask them why they didn’t see him. Even though they looked so similar, he really didn’t want to know if this was the child he had lost.

“Let’s go find it.” Jiang Xianfan suddenly stood up, staggering and almost falling over.

Chen Runsong quickly reached out to support him, wrapped his coat around him again, then took his arm and put it on his shoulders: “Slow down, slow down, stand firm.”

“Go on, Songsong, I…I’ll go with you.” He held Chen Runsong’s shoulders, his tone a bit drunk, “If you don’t confirm it, you’ll never know the answer, right?”

Chen Runsong looked at him, his face turned pink from drunkenness. After talking to him today, he didn’t know if he would remember it tomorrow. Before he could answer, a call came from the mobile phone in his pocket.

“Hey, yes, that’s the car. The license plate is Jing 2930R. Please wait a moment. We’ll be here right away.” After hanging up the phone, Chen Runsong muttered helplessly, “I drove this far to drink, and I never thought about how two drunkards would get back? Fortunately, I called a driver earlier.”

Half supporting and half dragging him, he struggled to walk out of the park with his heavy body. Jiang Xianfan’s steps were frivolous and he kept mumbling: “Are we going now? Do I have to change clothes?” He sniffed his sleeves and frowned, “If they are really your parents, they will think that I am an alcoholic.”

Chen Runsong was really convinced. Even when he was drunk, he didn’t forget his stinky beauty. He couldn’t walk and was still standing here.

After getting into the car, as soon as the radiator was turned off, Jiang Xianfan got in the car. When he saw the driver in the front seat, he suddenly became wary. He grabbed Chen Runsong’s arm and muttered: “Who is he? Why is he driving our car? I don’t want him to come back to our house.”

“He’s acting as a driver and won’t come back to our house.” Chen Runsong helplessly put him down on his lap and patted him, “Go to sleep. I’ll call you when I get home, okay?”

Jiang Xianfan obediently hugged his waist, rubbed his head on his leg, and murmured: “I will accompany you to find…”

He touched the drunk man’s hair and looked for someone. Of course he had thought about it, but he was afraid that it would be in vain, and he was even more afraid that it would be true. At that time, he saw the boy who was only a few years younger than him standing in the middle of the couple, smiling so happily. They seemed to be very happy. He was not sure whether they needed other children.

The next morning, Jiang Xianfan woke up with a headache. The hangover was very unpleasant. He usually drank a few drinks when socializing, and rarely got drunk. Fortunately, he didn’t smell of alcohol, and he was wearing comfortable pajamas, which made him feel better. I think Chen Runsong changed them for him last night.

Walking out of the bedroom, there was a slight sound from the kitchen.Chen Runsong was wearing an apron and was frying steak with his back to him. The rich aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of burnt eggs floated over, and his stomach couldn’t help but growl slightly.

“Are you awake? Just in time, I was about to call you.” Chen Runsong turned off the fire and turned around with the plate in hand. He saw Jiang Xianfan standing beside the island in a daze. He smiled and pushed him onto the chair, “Here, try my Chinese brunch.”

Jiang Xianfan lowered his head and saw that the large plate was colorful. The steak was fried just right. The fried egg was his favorite soft-boiled egg. There were also a few slices of golden-fried steamed buns beside it, paired with a refreshing colorful pepper salad. It looked nondescript, but it was inexplicably appetizing.

“Yesterday…” Jiang Xianfan held the fork, and the memories of last night came to him like fragments, especially what Chen Runsong said about Haicheng. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Runsong seriously, “Let’s set off tomorrow. I will arrange the work today.”

“Yeah.” Chen Runsong had just finished chewing a bite of steak and smiled: “I still remember it. I thought you would have forgotten it because you were so drunk.”

He picked up another piece of colored pepper and fed it to his mouth, and said slowly, “Okay, let’s go then. But there’s no rush for the next two days. You should be busy with work first, and I’ll ask for an address there first.”

Jiang Xianfan raised his head in shock, as if he didn’t expect Chen Runsong to agree like this. He has always been such an independent person and didn’t like to let anyone interfere in his affairs, but this time he agreed so happily to let him accompany him.

“Isn’t it delicious?” Chen Runsong looked at him and pointed at the steamed bun slices with his fork, “This steamed bun is fried with steak. It’s very fragrant. Give it a try.”

Jiang Xianfan immediately came to his senses, took a bite of the steamed bun slices, and responded with a smile: “It’s delicious.”

Chen Runsong also laughed. He thought about it over and over last night, and finally decided to go and have a look, just in case.

Even someone like Jiang Xianfan, who is as rare as winning the lottery, can be his boyfriend, just in case.

And no matter if it is your own parents or not, you can still rule out an answer. After searching for twenty years, there is no result, so what are you afraid of?Besides, with Jiang Xianfan by my side, I don’t know if someone is in pain, so I’m particularly prone to being hypocritical, and even feel anxious about something I’m used to doing, but with him by my side, I seem to be able to accept it no matter what the outcome is.

A few days later, Jiang Xianfan finally arranged the company’s affairs and came to Chen Runsong’s house to pack his luggage together.

A few days ago, Chen Runsong plucked up the courage to call that number and said he wanted to do a paternity test.The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, as if he didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to contact me. In the end, he just said, “Come on,” and then gave him an address.

He is finally going.

“Why don’t you take me with you?” There was only one class on Friday. Lin Yan came home from class and happened to see Chen Runsong packing his suitcase. He immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, “You didn’t take me with you before because you said I was young, but then you went there secretly when I grew up. If you don’t take me with you this time, I’m going to make trouble!”

“Why are you going to join in the fun? It’s in the south. It’s a lot of trouble and you don’t go to school anymore?” Chen Runsong stuffed clothes into the suitcase without looking back.

“Tomorrow is Saturday, why don’t we take a paternity test? It’ll be quick.” Lin Yan hugged her brother’s arm and shook it back and forth. “Just treat your dear sister on a weekend trip, okay, brother, brother~”

Chen Runsong couldn’t stand her coquettishness. He shook his head speechlessly, took out his mobile phone and shook it, “We will fly in the afternoon. If there are still tickets on the same flight, you can go. If not, don’t hang around here. Do you hear me?”

“Okay, okay.” Lin Yan nodded hurriedly. Unexpectedly, when she checked, she found that it was really there. If she said it out loud, Chen Runsong had no choice but to buy her a plane ticket.

“Do you know how warm it is in the south? It’s just a few degrees higher than here.” Chen Runsong watched Lin Yan pack her things and took out a few skirts. She looked cold and couldn’t help but frown. “Put them back quickly. I’ll give you a cold soon.”

“Oh, that’s so exaggerated. All I wear are long-sleeved skirts!” Lin Yan was not happy. She also wanted to go there and take some beautiful photos.

“Long sleeves won’t work either! Your legs are exposed, so change into a pair of jeans!” It was so cold in spring, and Chen Runsong really couldn’t bear to see her exposing her arms and legs.

“Oh Brother Jiang! Please take care of him.” Lin Yan saw that her brother couldn’t make sense, so she had to ask another brother for help, “It’s spring, the trees have to sprout, why can’t people be in full bloom?”

Jiang Xianfan watched for a long time and heard Lin Yan calling him and slowly walked over.

“Tsk, you…” Chen Runsong was still about to mutter a few words, but Jiang Xianfan stopped him, “Let Xiaoyan wear it if she wants. If it gets cold, we can buy some over there, okay?”

With Jiang Xianfan’s help, Chen Runsong had no choice but to give Lin Yan a roll of his eyes and ignore her.

Chen Runsong finished packing his things and sat in the living room with Jiang Xianfan to wait for the eldest lady to clean up. He remembered that his ID card was still in the bedroom, so he stood up to get it. Jiang Xianfan also stood up and gently closed the door.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Runsong was a little confused when he saw him closing the door inexplicably.

“Songsong.” Jiang Xianfan leaned behind the door, pulled the person into his arms, buried him in his neck, and sniffed deeply.

“Mom, what are you doing?” His warm breath sprayed on his neck. Chen Runsong was tickled by him and couldn’t stop laughing.

Jiang Xianfan didn’t speak, and hugged him tighter. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Runsong patted his back gently: “Huh? What’s the matter? Let’s talk about it. The eldest lady hasn’t cleaned up yet, and I can still give you a few minutes of mind horse killing chicken.”

“You…you…” Jiang Xianfan was still buried in his neck, his voice was muffled, as if it was a bit difficult to speak, and he said several words about you, but nothing came out.

“Tsk, come on! I’ll beat you up.” Chen Runsong couldn’t stand his grinding and hit him on the butt.

“You are very good to Lin Yan…forget it.” Jiang Xianfan suddenly stood up straight and looked at Chen Runsong seriously. “If we really find your family this time…will you be as nice to them as you are to Lin Yan?”

“Ah?” Chen Runsong was stunned by his question and scratched his head, “I didn’t know. If they are good to me, I will be good to them.”

“Then you’re going to be separated by them.” Jiang Xianfan suddenly hugged him eagerly, arching his head into his neck and biting him. Chen Runsong grinned in pain and thought for a long time before he understood what he was talking about.

Chen Runsong couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you think I’m some kind of cake? We’re going to separate.” He raised his arms and hugged Jiang Xianfan, and said softly: “Jiang Xianfan, don’t worry about these useless thoughts, okay? Lin Yan is my family. If you find my parents, they are also my family. You are also my family now, and I will treat you all well.”

He paused and put his hand on his head, “But you are different. You are not only my family, but also my lover. I can do many things for my family, but my heart is only for you, and no one can take it away.”

Jiang Xianfan’s body relaxed instantly. He let go of Chen Runsong and held his arm with both hands. His eyes were extremely serious, “Me too, I only give it to you.”

“Okay.” Chen Runsong laughed, and Jiang Xianfan lowered his head and kissed him tenderly.

“Brother, it’s packed, let’s…” Lin Yan finished packing her luggage and ran over to call them excitedly. As soon as she opened the door, she saw this exciting scene. She was so frightened that she stepped back, covered her eyes and shouted, “Ah! I didn’t see anything! Keep going! Keep going!”
