Feeling broken and loyal dog At a familiar crossroads, Tian Jilin met Jiang Lai again. Six years ago, a strange boy knelt down in a pool of blood, holding the bodies of his family members and crying. Two years ago, the broken bicycle changed its route without authorization and deviated from the track, causing Tian Jilin to crash into Jiang Lai, which was also the prelude to their love. Now, Tian Jilin looks at the person he misses so much in front of him, but his guilt and pain firmly pin him to the driver's seat of the car, with nowhere to vent his surging thoughts. This time, he abandoned all selfish calculations, greed for fame and fortune, and even his attachment to Jiang Lai, just to fulfill Jiang Lai's dream of revenge. This time, he is willing to be Jiang Lai's puppet for revenge, and he will not let himself make mistakes again. - There are only a few thin pieces of paper in the intact document bag, but it is the essence of his many years of hard work. In the past four years, he has been obsessed with the car accident he witnessed. The information collected secretly is stored on these pieces of paper, including Jiang Lai's father's life experience and resume, Jiang Lai's mother's family background, and Jiang Lai's information. He did not want to attract anyone's attention, so he collected bit by bit cautiously, and did not dare to make extensive visits to attract attention. It took him four years to collect a small amount of information. But these pages carry his former passion and ideals. He regards these pages as his entry into becoming a reporter, and always remains cautious and curious. Tian Jilin took out one of the pieces of paper and wrote Jiang Lai's phone number in the upper right corner. The phone vibrated twice. Tian Jilin took it out and saw a text message from Jiang Lai: "Arrived, good night." Tian Jilin simply replied "Good night", then switched to the WeChat page and entered Jiang Lai's mobile phone number. As expected, his WeChat was not found. This was expected by Tian Jilin. He calmly put the phone aside and stared at another torn brown paper bag on the table. There was a name written neatly on the damaged brown paper bag - Jiang Enyuan. That was Jiang Lai's father's name. - Tian Jilin thought about it, and then remembered that he had not confessed his identity as a reporter to Jiang Lai. He hesitated for a long time, and finally broke the silence. "By the way, I said during dinner that if you want to investigate the past, I can help you." Tian Jilin said, "Actually, I didn't tell you before, I actually, I am actually -" When Tian Jilin said this, he unconsciously slowed down and put some distance between himself and Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai also noticed it. He stopped, turned around and looked at him, and interrupted his hesitation briskly: "You're a reporter, aren't you?" Hearing Jiang Lai's words, Tian Jilin was even more shocked. He froze in place and felt that the blood in his body had turned cold. After a few seconds, he spoke in a very soft voice: "How do you know?" "I knew it a long time ago. I knew it the day I sent you back." Jiang Lai said with a smile, "When I was helping you clean up the things that fell out of the bicycle basket, your press card fell out of the briefcase. Later I went to search your name on the Internet... Senior, you are amazing." Tian Jilin seemed to be unable to feel his feet: "I'm sorry, Jiang Lai, I didn't mean to hide it from you." "I'm sorry? What's there to be sorry for?" Jiang Lai said in surprise, "I guess you took care of my emotions, so you didn't say anything, right?" "Yes." Tian Jilin used all his strength to say this word. "Is it possible that you approached me to make big news? I'm not that narcissistic." Jiang Lai said with a smile, then turned around and continued walking forward. For the first time in twenty-four years, Tian Jilin felt that he was a complete bastard and idiot. - "I... Still want to know the truth." After a long time, Jiang Lai finally spoke, but his eyes looked at Tian Jilin with a little more determination, "Although I am still very cowardly, I still want to know the truth. That is my family, and I can't let it go... However, no matter what the outcome is this time, I have to face it. Senior, you will help me, right?" "Of course." Tian Jilin didn't hesitate at all. Jiang Lai finally smiled with relief, but the smile was very bitter, which made Tian Jilin's heart soften and feel a little sore. "Okay, then it's decided." Jiang Lai said in a cheerful tone, "I just believe in traveling around once. Maybe, I am really lucky. You see, I am lucky enough to meet you." Tian Jilin wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. He could only say a stiff "um" from his throat. "By the way, senior, why did you show up at school today? Didn't you say you were busy with work and didn't have time to attend the school anniversary?" "Oh, I was really busy, but the meeting ended early, so I thought I might be able to catch up, so I rushed over." Tian Jilin said, "I'm really sorry for interrupting you and Cheng Duoduo..." "It's okay. I don't think Duoduo likes me. Maybe it's because her heart has been too heavy over the years." Jiang Lai picked up the yellow rose beside him and said, "But it's okay now. After all, I have another friend. This is a good start, isn't it?" "Yes. Then you said you liked boys, did you lie to her?" Tian Jilin said pretending to be relaxed, trying to cover up his inner anxiety. "No," Jiang Lai said softly, playing with the rose petals in his hand, "Where's the senior? Did you also lie to her in the hot pot restaurant?" "No." Tian Jilin said firmly. Then, the two people looked at each other at the same time and smiled. "Okay, let's go and eat something. I'm hungry again." Tian Jilin stood up and stretched. After walking a few steps, he realized that Jiang Lai had not followed. He looked back and saw Jiang Lai still sitting on the bench, holding the bouquet of roses in his hand, but looking at him intently. Tian Jilin was about to ask what happened when he heard Jiang Lai's question. His voice was very small, but every word was precise: "So senior, you won't lie to me, right?" Tian Jilin stood there, and with a lot of effort, he finally said "um" from the deepest part of his heart. Intention: The coordinate of choice turns out to be love
