"Two years ago, I was hit on the head during training. My ears were buzzing for half a year …"
"Why don't you go see a doctor?"
"It's nothing. It got better later."
It was a sunny morning. Shasha was wearing a pink nightgown. She moved a small stool and sat at the door leading to the balcony. She tilted her head and Jia Ming sat beside her. He held an ear spoon in his hand and stuck it into her ear.
"I've seen people die suddenly after being hit on the head for half a year … Don't move …"
"Itchy … I think I hear footsteps …"
"Lingjing is back … I said don't move …" Jiaming's hand froze. "She's in …"
The sound of a key unlocking the door came from the living room. When Lingjing appeared at the bedroom door with a plastic bag from the supermarket, she saw Jiaming patting Shasha's head on his lap.
"What are you doing?"
"Checking if her head is empty …" Jiaming patted twice. She didn't know what technique he used, but there was a "dong dong" sound in the air. Shasha then hit his stomach with the back of her head.
"You two …" Lingjing smiled and shook her head. She went to the living room to put down the plastic bag and took out the things one by one. Jiaming stopped Shasha from flipping out. "Don't move, don't move. Let me see if she's out …"
Shasha had to tilt her head again. Jiaming looked at her for a long time. "Do you want me to pat her again …"
"Do you want me to do a handstand?"
"You can do a handstand. The inside of your ears is curved … It's not difficult for you anyway …"
"I'm still in my pajamas!"
"You can do a handstand at home. No one can see you anyway …"
"Go to hell!"
It was a mess in the bedroom. Lingjing had no choice but to hold back her laughter. Jiaming hugged Shasha again. He tilted her head and poked the spoon in. "Don't move, don't move … Really, don't move this time …"
After a while, Jiaming sighed. "What a sense of accomplishment. On the other side …"
"Aren't you disgusting?!"
Lingjing and Shasha laughed at the same time. Then Shasha asked, "Lingjing, how's your job search going?"
"He said that he would give me an answer after considering it."
"Actually, it's probably because there's no reply," Jiaming said.
"We all find it strange."
Lingjing shook her head in the living room. "He asked me why he chose to play the piano in the hotel restaurant instead of looking for other jobs after graduating from the Vienna University."
"How did you answer?"
"Because I want stability … Besides, I have experience in this kind of work before, so I can get used to it quickly."
"They'll think you're unambitious."
It was three days after the class reunion. What happened in Jianghai City was neither big nor small. The higher-ups began to crack down again. This time, the main target was the domineering New River Gang in the city. It also caused a lot of waves in the political world. Of course, for Jiaming and the others who were focused on restoring their ordinary lives, these waves didn't affect them at all.
Lingjing took the time to apply for jobs twice. She thought that with her strength, this kind of small job wouldn't be a problem. However, she didn't receive any results in the past two days. Especially when the group of people received her with suspicious expressions, it was a blow to her.
However, this wasn't surprising. Jianghai City was a big city. With Lingjing's diploma and standard, she could find a better job in many of the more developed troupes or performing groups. If it was said that she was disheartened in these places, it would be fine. But a person who just graduated from school didn't look for any job and just wanted to play in a restaurant every day. It was really incomprehensible.
She had already decided to go to work. Jiaming and Shasha were a little bored at the moment. Originally, Lingjing proposed that the three of them study in university again. After all, Jiaming and Shasha had missed it. Lingjing also didn't get to experience these things properly. However, Jiaming and Shasha both felt tired of this proposal.
If they wanted to find a job, Jiaming didn't have any documents at the moment. Things like ID cards were completely destroyed before they left Jianghai. Now that they wanted to return to their ordinary lives, it would take some time to get them back. Shasha, on the other hand, had lost a lot of goals because of the four years of vacuum. These things had to be slowly cultivated.
They had money. These things weren't urgent for them. The reason why they wanted to live like ordinary people was that they hoped to use this method to pull them back to reality from the almost illusory life of the past four years. After lunch, Lingjing and Shasha ran to the small room to play computer games. Jiaming took the money from Lingjing and went out to prepare the documents.
Just like this, they went downstairs. On the road not far away, a sports car stopped. A woman came out of it with a slim and fashionable figure. She was dressed neatly in a white shirt and trousers, black high heels, and sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. She was looking up with a cold expression. However, although she was dressed fashionably, at this time, she was carrying a supermarket plastic bag in her hand. It seemed that there were a few bunches of bananas in it, which greatly reduced the woman's fashion sense. After meeting Jiaming's gaze, she slightly lowered her head and then pulled down her sunglasses a little.
It was Dongfang Wan.
It was only half past one in the afternoon, and the sun was frighteningly bright. Jiaming looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and then looked at Dongfang Wan in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Didn't this woman think about sunscreen at all?
Although Lingjing and Shasha were women who didn't care much about dressing up, they still had considerable scruples about being exposed to the sun at this time of the day.
With this thought in mind, he walked towards the woman and waved to greet her, "Hi."
"Hi …"
In theory, at this time, Dongfang Wan should introduce her purpose of visit or something. Jiaming waited for her to speak, but today, Dongfang Wan seemed to have suddenly become a little dull. Both of them were silent for a while, and then Jiaming said, "Are you here to see Lingjing and Shasha?
They're upstairs. "
"Uh …" Dongfang Wan nodded, "I told them at dinner last time that I'll find time to come and see you."
"Hmm." Jiaming nodded.
Why did this woman become not fun at all … He couldn't find a good topic to talk about. He nodded for a long time, but Dongfang Wan didn't have any intention of going up, so he pointed at her and asked, "Why are you carrying this?"
"What?" Dongfang Wan looked at the plastic bag in her hand, "Bananas?"
"Yes, I know it's bananas …"
"I'm treating you to bananas."
"…" It was almost like a crosstalk. Jiaming was stunned, then he covered his forehead, "Provocation.
Isn't that an insult? "
As soon as he said that, Dongfang Wan, who subconsciously reached out her hand, seemed to come to her senses. She turned her head to the side in amusement, took off her sunglasses, and exhaled. Just now, she seemed to have returned to normal and said casually, "A man scolds a woman, okay? A woman's words don't count."
"Then do you want me to treat you to bananas …" Jiaming subconsciously wanted to say this sentence, but he thought about it and waved with a smile, "Then … you … go up …" He made a gesture of going out.
"Where are you going?"
"To get documents, ID, household register, passport, graduation certificate, and so on. The old ones are all gone, and now I have to get them all."
"You'll have to go to a lot of places. I'll take you there."
Dongfang Wan said, then pointed at her sports car, "I have a car, and I have acquaintances in these places. There's no need to use my brother's connections to do these things."
"No need, I'll get a fake ID."
"Huh?" Dongfang Wan thought for a moment, "What about the fake ID?"
"It's very simple. There should be one in front."
"Then take me to see it. I also want to know how to get a fake ID." Dongfang Wan smiled. Jiaming shrugged, "Not going up?"
"We can chat next time. Girls probably talk about shopping, famous brands, and so on. I haven't seen a fake ID before.
Don't you want to get in the car? "
"I won't be able to see it when I get in the car. It shouldn't be too far."
Dongfang Wan said "Oh" and followed, but then she was chided by Jiaming, "Throw your banana back into the car, okay?" Dongfang Wan smiled and gave him the middle finger, running around in her high heels.
Getting a ID was nothing more than looking for crooked phone numbers written on telephone poles, walls, bulletin boards, and other objects on the street. The two didn't walk long before they found one. Jiaming couldn't get through, so Dongfang Wan tried using her phone. At this time, the sun was directly shining. Although the two tried to find a shady place to walk, they couldn't avoid being exposed to the sun most of the time. Dongfang Wan didn't care about this. After a while, she seemed to treat it as a game. Often when Jiaming dialed the telephone number on the telephone pole, she had already waved her hand at the street corner in front of them, "There's one here, hello!
There's one here, let me see if I can get through … "
"Image!
Pay attention to your image!
Don't be so ostentatious, okay? "
Speaking of which, the two's image at this time was indeed very different. Jiaming was dressed casually, as if he was just going to buy some soy sauce and go back. Dongfang Wan's dress was simple, but one could tell at a glance that she had put a lot of thought into it. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, and there were two purple gemstone earrings on her earlobes. They looked small and delicate, but in the eyes of people who knew what they were, they would definitely know that they were expensive. She had undergone aristocratic training. In the past, her image in school was still a little immature, but now she had grown up. Wearing high heels, her every movement had an elegant feeling that was different from ordinary women. This feeling was not ostentatious, but it had been subtly combined with her every move. Even when she was playing, she could feel elegance and nobility. In this regard, she was somewhat similar to Ya Han's temperament.
The two of them looked for more than a dozen phone calls, and only got through three or four. The last one met Jiaming's requirements. The two of them agreed to meet at a place, and then the two of them went back to the sports car.
Previously, there was no reaction from being under the sun for a long time. Now, as soon as they returned to the car and turned on the air conditioner, Dongfang Wan immediately fanned herself with a small handbag. "It's so hot, so hot, so hot …"
"Are you crazy? You can't say it's hot outside."
"What's the use of saying it outside? Can you make the weather cooler?"
Dongfang Wan's answers were always in her style. After a while, the sports car started, and Jiaming asked, "Where's Yiting?
Hasn't she always been with you? "
"We can't always be together. She's at the company." Dongfang Wan smiled. "I skipped work."
"Tsk tsk … Just like before, it's always tiring for her to be alone."
"I'm also very tired, but now I can finally relax. What do you think?
Do you want to come to my company later? "
"There's no need … What do you mainly do now?"
"Toys, electronics, and trinkets. In short, they're things for little girls to play with. The designs you gave me in the past were very popular. I stopped making things like helicopters because you killed them … After the incident with Ying Zifeng, my dad led the guys in the military who were researching weapons to me …"
"Oh, oh …"
"Don't you feel guilty at all?" Dongfang Wan turned to look at him.
"Why should I feel guilty? You've earned it anyway."
The sports car sped away. Dongfang Wan looked ahead and shook her head. "If you feel guilty, I can use the excuse of atonement to ask you to work for me again."
Both of them laughed. After a while, Dongfang Wan said, "To be honest, you don't have any specific plans now, do you?
Like before, you make a few designs, I'll be the agent, and then I'll give you dividends. Otherwise, how about you come to manage the computer? You were very good before. "
"We'll talk about it later. I'm taking advantage of you too much." Jiaming smiled. "The speed of driving is much faster than before. It's worthy of praise."
Dongfang Wan snorted. "Hypocrite."
Of course, there were many things that could be said to make Jiaming join them. However, since he expressed his intention to refuse, Dongfang Wan did not say anything more. The place they agreed to meet was not very far. It was a small coffee shop in Linhai Street. The two of them ordered cold drinks. Not long after, a dispirited man with a crew cut came to greet them. Then, Jiaming stated the conditions and paid the deposit.
During the conversation, the man kept stealing glances at Dongfang Wan. Dongfang Wan returned to her cold attitude. She sat next to Jiaming and drank iced coffee. She looked at the pedestrians on the street and ignored him.
After the man left, Dongfang Wan, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly laughed.
"Doctor of Trauma from the University of Cambridge. Even if this kind of diploma is real, it will be regarded as fake. Did you notice the way that man looked at you? It was like he was looking at a fool."
"How can you survive without a doctor's degree these days? You don't understand.
I think the way he peeked at you was wonderful. "
"Go."
The two of them finished their cold drinks. It was about three o 'clock in the afternoon when they left the coffee shop. The weather was a little cooler. Because it was close to the sea, there was wind on the road. Most of the places were frequented by tourists. In addition to eating and drinking shops, there were also all kinds of small objects. After crossing two streets, they arrived at the seawall area. Although it was not the seawall that Jiaming often went to, the scenery was very good.
He waited for the man to come over at five o 'clock to hand in the documents. Dongfang Wan seemed to be free, so the two of them walked along the relatively cool road and chatted.
Jiaming did not have anything he wanted to buy. Along the way, he just wanted to buy it for Lingjing and Shasha to play with. Dongfang Wan liked all kinds of things. After a while, Jiaming walked to the door of a shop and looked at all kinds of small stones. He remembered that Shasha used to like collecting these things. When he turned around, Dongfang Wan was leaning over a small stall about ten meters away, looking at some small wooden objects. She had a string of prayer beads on her hand. One of her palms was in front of her chest, and the other hand was holding a small hammer to hit a wooden fish. When she saw Jiaming looking at her, she squinted her eyes and smiled brightly. Jiaming also smiled and shook his head. A few seconds later, he suddenly heard Dongfang Wan's low cry.
When he turned around, he saw a man snatching Dongfang Wan's small handbag and running towards them with all his might. Dongfang Wan was pushed by the man. Next to the small stall was a long staircase that led down to the street below. Dongfang Wan was caught off guard and took two steps back. She missed a step and grabbed the guardrail at the side in time to prevent herself from falling down the stairs.
In the blink of an eye, the man had already run in front of Jiaming. Then, he ran past Jiaming at a fast speed. Jiaming helplessly stretched out his leg, and the man tripped and flew out.
With a "bang", the man's entire face hit an iron utility pole on the side of the road, and then he fell to the ground with blood all over his face. Jiaming sighed and bent down to pick up the handbag on the ground. He walked over to Dongfang Wan, who was barely standing. He first looked at the street below the staircase and then laughed. "You almost mastered the Invincible Wind Fire Wheel."
"Wind Fire your head. You only know how to gloat."
Dongfang Wan frowned and looked at her feet. The slender high heel on her left foot was broken. She walked two steps and limped. With a painful expression, she glared fiercely at Jiaming. "I sprained my foot. It hurts."
Jiaming looked at her. "Let me help you back to the car."
"What about that guy?"
The two of them looked in the direction of the robber and saw that his face was covered in blood. He struggled on the ground several times but still couldn't get up. "Calling the police will be troublesome. At least he has a concussion. Forget it. Getting you back is more important. Come, give me your hand."
He helped the limping Dongfang Wan up. Then, the two of them walked back the way they came.
"It's so hot when I'm next to you … The sun is also very strong …"
"Even if you say that, I can't make the air cooler … Didn't you say that you don't complain outside?"
"I'm an injured person right now …" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
