“When I was running a fever just now, I vaguely remembered that I wasn’t lost back then, but was kidnapped by human traffickers. There was a girl who I called ‘sister’, she must have been about eight or nine years old. She took me outside, and then I was scooped up by a man who ran towards a car. I called out to her, but she ignored me and turned to run away quickly…”
“I don’t know how I managed to escape from the traffickers later on, and then Song Xiwen found me… Actually, I should be thankful to Song Xiwen, after all, she saved me. Compared to the sister in my memory who pushed me into a pit of fire, she’s actually quite nice.”
This was another piece of information that Jiang Yan didn’t know.
So Song Jiawen’s disappearance back then wasn’t an accident, but something orchestrated by her own family?
And was it a girl who was only eight or nine years old who orchestrated it? How corrupt must one be to do such a thing?
Eight or nine years old….
It was because of these unpleasant memories that Song Jiawen was very resistant to acknowledging her family, at least for now!
“Fine, if you don’t want to acknowledge them, then don’t. After all, you now have a way to make a living and don’t need to rely on anyone.”
The two finished dinner and walked back home.
It was close to midnight, and Yunzhou, hot and restless for the entire day, was finally quieting down. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a touch of coolness.
The streets were mostly empty, with only the occasional car speeding by with a whoosh.
During the last break at school, Song Jiawen had moved most of her luggage to Jiang Yan’s place, and during the two days she stayed with Song Xiwen, she only brought a few changes of clothes.
Returning to his place now felt like coming back to a long-term residence.
Song Jiawen found her pajamas and went to take a shower, asking Jiang Yan before entering, “I might stay at your place over the summer break, should I… pay rent?”
Jiang Yan joked, “If you really want to pay, I certainly won’t refuse, but, you can use your paintings as payment.”
Who knew Song Jiawen would actually ponder this seriously, “My paintings go for a thousand each now, so how much is your monthly rent? Five hundred? Since this is a shared rental, it shouldn’t be that much.”
Jiang Yan was at a loss for words, “According to what you’re saying, if I take one of your paintings, I would still have to give you change?”
The mood that had been somber all night lightened up at once, and Song Jiawen, with the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, went into the bathroom…
….
The next morning at half-past seven, Song Jiawen and Jiang Yan had breakfast outside and then went to Song Xiwen’s place to pick up her bag.
Taking the day off especially to wait for her at home, Song Xiwen was relieved to see Jiang Yan with her.
After glancing at Jiang Yan, she couldn’t help saying, “Little Yan, your exams are all over, aren’t you going to visit your dad?”
Last time his third uncle visited Jiang Lao Da, nobody knew what the brothers had discussed, but afterward, rumors started to circulate in the village, some quite unpleasant to hear.
They included talk of Jiang Yan being ungrateful, accusing him of not recognising his father after being taken away by his mother.
Song Xiwen had not seen his mother come to pick him up, but she didn’t understand what was going on with the rumors.
“I will visit, maybe in a few days when I’m free.”
Jiang Yan replied indifferently, unaware of the rumors Song Xiwen had in mind. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
But before leaving Yunzhou for university, he did indeed plan to see his father.
Meeting again after two lifetimes, there were things he inevitably had to open up and share with his father. He also wanted to see if that man, who so wholeheartedly sacrificed for that family, would regret anything for the sake of those ungrateful brothers and nephews.
Song Xiwen only mentioned Jiang Yan’s situation briefly, not feeling it was her place to say more.
She followed Song Jiawen to the bedroom, “Yesterday after you left, I told uncle you were called away by a classmate for a party that evening, he didn’t suspect… Jiajia, can we just leave it like this for now, please? Uncle loves you so much…”
Song Jiawen was stooping down to pack her clothes and backpack, and upon hearing this, she didn’t say much, because she didn’t want to leave her uncle and grandma either.
Moreover, she wasn’t planning to acknowledge her biological family anyway, so… never mind, Song Xiwen didn’t say anything more. Anyways, she intended to treat her grandma and uncle as her closest relatives from now on.
Song Jiawen’s silence was taken as consent by Song Xiwen, who was thrilled inside. She stuffed another cigarette into her neatly packed backpack, asking her to take it back for their uncle.
The two hitched a ride back to Jianghai Town, and as soon as they got off, they heard someone calling them.
“Jiajia…”
“Jiang Yan.”
Yang Dan and the others ran over from the shade of the trees nearby, hugging Song Jiawen tightly, “We’ve been waiting for you, let’s go take photos first, then everyone’s waiting to estimate their scores with you.”
Today was a day off, and the estimation of scores and college preference filling would start tomorrow.
Initially, only Class One of senior year was supposed to be there today, but when the other classes heard that Song Jiawen and Jiang Yan were coming back, they also came to join in the fun.
After taking a group picture with Class One, Class Two came up wanting to take a picture together, followed by Class Three….
Everyone was giggling and laughing; there was not a trace of worry to be seen.
Jiang Yan noticed that Song Jiawen was much more enthusiastic about taking photos with everyone than she had been at First Middle School. Indeed, she was closer to Jianghai. After all, she had spent nearly three years here, and being younger, everyone in class treated her like a little sister and took extra care of her in daily life.
And the teachers at Jianghai Middle School treasured her even more; they all treated her like a precious gem.
After taking the belated graduation picture, everyone returned to the classroom, laughing and joking, when suddenly someone spoke up, “Jiajia, have you estimated your score? How much did you get?”
The classroom suddenly fell silent, all eyes on Song Jiawen.
She tilted her head and smiled, “I did a rough estimate, probably… around 730 or so.”
Wow!
Not to mention them, even Old Yu, who had just reached the classroom door, stumbled almost falling over.
That score, that score could possibly claim the provincial top scholar title.
Old Yu’s heart was racing with excitement, even though… Song Jiawen had transferred to First City Middle School in the end, but no matter what, she was still from Jianghai, his student…
Old Yu paced back and forth at the doorway, no longer paying attention to others’ score estimates, and ran towards the office; he had to call the principal to share the good news.
“What about you, Jiang Yan? How much did you estimate?”
On the way back, Jiang Yan had already checked the answers with Song Jiawen and had a good estimate of his score; he was quite confident that it was enough for Beijing University.
“Me? I’m not good, I can’t compare with Song Jiawen,” Jiang Yan sighed with a pretense of sadness, “just over seven hundred, I guess.”
The students of Class One:….
“Damn, that son of a bitch, let’s beat him up!”
Since Song Jiawen and Jiang Yan had gone to First Middle School, they had mailed back many exam papers, notes, and compilations of difficult problems, so the senior students of Jianghai Middle School had made significant progress over this period.
Especially Class One.
They were studying desperately. Of course, it wasn’t to compete with Song Jiawen, she was in a league of her own.
It was just that some of the boys in the class didn’t want to fall too far behind Jiang Yan, the madman, and seeing this, the others also worked especially hard. That’s how the spirit of the entire class was uplifted.
But they hadn’t expected…
That this guy would become even crazier at First Middle School, right?
However, as much as they joked, they were happy to see their friend doing well.
In the end, the score estimation showed that at least two-thirds of the students in the class had scored over five hundred.
