Chapter Thirty-Five: Unforgivable Harm

  "I knew you'd be here!" Xue Zhi-xiang sat down beside Jiang Ti-che with a bottle of vodka, Jiang Ti-che had already drunk quite a bit, it was clear that his mood was extremely low.

  Xue Zhixiang knew that Jiang Jie would not be able to go home and sleep peacefully, and might continue to hang out somewhere, even if the whole world didn't understand him. As Jiang Jie's good brother for many years, he was familiar with his ways.

  "Nothing can be hidden from you!" Jiang Jie smiled wryly, picked up the wine bottle and clinked it with Xue Zhi Xiang, then poured himself a drink with a fierce expression.

  "Xia Xuan is that girl you can't stop thinking about, isn't she?" Xue Zhi Xiang said with a calm smile, as if it was nothing.

  Jiang Jie was shocked. He had never mentioned Xia Xuan to them, so how did Xue Zhi Xiang know about his existence?

  It seems that Xue Zhi Xiang has seen through Jiang Jie's thoughts, and with a serious expression, he took a sip of his drink and let out a sigh before saying: "The night before you left the country, you got drunk, and when I sent you back home, you kept shouting Xia Xian's name. You had never gotten drunk before, so I'm certain that Xia Xian holds more significance for you than just an ordinary person."

  Jiang Jie was leaning against the sofa in a decadent manner. He still couldn't accept the fact that Xia Xian had appeared before him, and he couldn't bear it.

  "Your story with Xia Xuan should be shared with someone, brother is here, listen carefully." Xue Zhi Xiang did not force Jiang Ti Che.

  A wound that has not scabbed over for so long is enough to prove how much flesh and blood have been lost.

  Jiang Jie looked at Xue Zhi-xiang and smiled wryly, continuing to drink his wine.

  "Sister, you're back! Why do you look so down? Brother-in-law is returning to the country today, shouldn't you be happy?" Wu Jiajia's younger sister Wu Xinxin was practicing yoga on the sofa, and when she saw her sister looking down, she leaned in with her little head, wanting to hear some gossip.

  "Where are Mom and Dad?" Wu Jiajia saw that Xia Xian's heart was in a mess today and didn't want to say much.

  "Uncle Jin invited Dad and Mom out for dinner and they will be back late." Wu Xinxin poured a cup of Longjing tea and savored it.

  The Wu family's background is quite good, just look at this house and you'll know, shining brightly, luxurious and grand, the young lady of the Wu family is naturally a precious gem.

  "Hey, sis, aren't you done with your 10-year long-distance run yet? When is your brother-in-law going to take you in?" Wu Xinxin asked jokingly, propping her head up with one hand as she lay on the sofa.

  "You're in such a hurry to marry off your sister!" Wu Jiajia pouted, putting on an extremely dissatisfied look.

  "No, no, I'm not afraid of making things complicated!" Wu Xinxin sat up with a jolt, clarifying herself.

  "Now the branches have grown out!" Wu Jiajia sighed and said.

  "Is sister-in-law pregnant?" Wu Xinxin frowned and almost jumped up!

  Men are really unreliable! Jiang Zhe, you little brat! My sister treated you so well, and yet you still dare to flirt with other women!

  "Do you still remember Xia Xian, whom I told you about?" Wu Jiajia was really unwilling to mention this name, but the fact was right in front of her, and she didn't know what else to do. She still hoped that someone could help her come up with a solution.

  "Oh, that little scoundrel! He won't come this way, will he?" Wu Xinxin had always been biased towards her own family members, so she naturally didn't have a good impression of Xia Xian.

  "Yes, we met her." Wu Jiajia rubbed her temples.

  Wu Xinxin's eyes widened in shock, her mouth agape with astonishment. How could this be so coincidental? Her brother-in-law had just returned and ran into his first love! Heaven! This is not how things are supposed to go!

  "What, what did you say?" Wu Xinxin stuttered and asked.

  "Xia Xian has lost his memory, it must have something to do with that car accident!" Wu Jiajia's mood was not good.

  "Lost her memory! That's it, isn't it? As long as she doesn't bother you, your brother-in-law has already arranged for you to be engaged, what else is there to worry about?" Wu Xinxin heard that she had lost her memory and naturally let out a sigh of relief.

  "What's the point of getting engaged? You can still get divorced after marriage!" Wu Jiajia said irritably.

  Just thinking of Jiang Jie's gaze at Xia Xian, Wu Jiajia couldn't bear it. It was so gentle and affectionate, so deep and sincere. She, his fiancée, didn't even receive such treatment. What made Xia Xian so special?!

  Perhaps, except for Xia Xian, Jiang Jie will never have such eyes on anyone else again. Only Xia Xian is his beloved in this life.

  "What does sister want?" Wu Xinxin really didn't understand her sister's logic.

  "I don't know either." Wu Jiajia scratched her hair in frustration, she was now a mess and had no idea what to do.

  "Sister, you go take a bath first and calm down. Let me handle this matter. Don't worry! Just wait for me to be your bride!" Wu Xinxin patted her chest to guarantee it.

  "Ah Xiang, I've hurt the woman I love most. No matter what I say now, it's too late. I don't expect her to forgive me, I just hope she can be happy, even if it's not with me." Jiang Jie's face was already streaked with tears, a bitter smile, and sarcasm, everything was unfolding relentlessly.

  Xue Zhixiang also sank deeply into the sofa, handing a bottle of wine to Jiang Jie, knowing that his memories must be extremely painful and could only be recalled with the numbness of alcohol.

  "I saw her spitting blood in front of me, I saw her falling down in front of me, and I saw that helpless look in her eyes. I didn't know how to face all this, always thought we wouldn't meet again, but fate brought us together once more."

  ……

  There's no doubt that Jiang Jie was dead drunk last night, and it was Xue Zhi Xiang who took care of him. In one night, Jiang Jie drank a whole bottle of Chivas, plus an extra bottle of Absolut. Xue Zhi Xiang didn't stop him either, letting him drink as much as he wanted. Even if he got drunk, at least he could sleep well.

  Life is short, but troubles are long.

  A Zhe, Xia Xian is your tribulation in front of you, it will always be forever and ever, but you can't go back anymore, right?

  Jiang Tiexin every time mentioning Xia Xian's hospitalization would be overcome with emotion, Xia Xian and Jiang Tiexin were together for four years, which was also the period of their breakup, almost all spent in the hospital, but even so, Jiang Tiexin never looked back.

  But is it fair to both of them now?

  It's probably fair! Xia Xian lost his memory, forgot everything, and had a new life. Jiang Tiande was the only one who was still torturing himself, even though he already had a fiancée, his heart was still with Xia Xian and would never move again for the rest of his life.

  I've already forgotten who said it: Love is not complicated, coming and going, just three words, either "I love you", "I hate you", or "forget it", "how are you?", "sorry"…

  But what's between these two people? Nothing else! Only infinite love, infinite hatred, infinite apology...

  What is love after all? Why does it make people reckless? Why can't people help themselves? Why does it make people desperate?

  Maybe, without experiencing all this, one wouldn't know. Without investigation, there's no right to speak. Maybe it shouldn't be said what should and shouldn't be said. If not in love, then no longing; if not in love, then no jealousy; if not in love, then no loss of self...
