Chapter 558 Isn’t it too late now?
Back in the county town, Chen Ende invited Song Yi and Lin Meihui to dinner at the best hotel in the county town. He still felt a little cramped and wished he could upgrade the hotel to a five-star hotel so as not to neglect his two old friends.
There were several bottles of Maotai on the dining table, as well as red wine bought from abroad. Chen Ende poured wine for Song Yi and said, "I don't have anything good here. If there is any bad hospitality, don't scold me..." …It’s not as good as what’s in Beijing.”
"The people in Beijing are also very nice. Do you think we should change our friends?"
Song Yi could see Chen Ende's caution. He didn't know if it was because he had lost his memory or if he had changed. In short, both parties were a little bit reluctant to let go. Lin Meihui understood them and just smiled and said, "Ende, don't mind Song Yi's behavior, isn't it? His identity is the reason why he almost doesn’t recognize me, and this feeling of alienation from you is not something he deliberately created, it’s his instinctive reaction.”
Chen Ende knew there was a story here as soon as he heard it. He sat down and looked at Song Yi, then looked at Lin Meihui with a surprised look on his face, "What's going on? When I went to see you a few years ago, I couldn't get in touch with you... Later I heard the report When you said you were missing, I asked around, and then I came back... But I always felt that you guys had too many things to do, so I never went there again..."
Chen Ende did not say all this. In fact, he went there several times and was rejected several times. Tan Yali seemed to want Song Yi and Lin Meihui to cut off all past ties. Although he knew that something was wrong with this matter, he could not force it. Breaking into the B&B, thinking that Song Yi would always contact him.
Lin Meihui glanced at Song Yi and saw that Song Yi had no reaction, so she briefly explained what happened, "After I disappeared, Song Yi was in a bad mood. He drank and stayed up late. He also went through several ghost gates. The pressure was too much." In severe cases, it's intermittent amnesia...it's good and bad sometimes, but you don't have to worry, you're being treated now and it's already showing results..."
"You don't even recognize me?"
"Well, I almost let another woman get close to me, but luckily Song Yi remembered me later. I came back this time to help him find some memories in his hometown, so don't mind his weird inner facial features. I do too. Come slowly."
Lin Meihui smiled. Song Yi picked up the wine glass and touched it with Chen Ende. His voice was low and hoarse, "Meihui told me a lot about you. You really helped us a lot at that time. Sometimes a person is lucky because The noble people around me helped and showed kindness. Although the memory is gone, the affection is still there. Thank you for helping us run the ice cream business...and thank you for your all-round support when we were studying hard in our county."
Speaking of the past, the ups and downs seemed like yesterday. Chen Ende and Song Yi had a glass of wine and drank it slowly. They felt all kinds of emotions in their hearts. They didn't expect that they had endured so much suffering after not seeing each other for so many years...
Chen Ende was also slightly drunk, and he couldn't hide the vicissitudes of life in his eyes. "In the years when my adopted sister just went abroad, I felt that my heart, liver, and lungs were not mine. I was like a walking zombie every day. I didn't even feel like eating..." Sometimes I suddenly wake up from sleep and feel that reality is a dream and the dream is reality... I can understand you, come on, let's drink to a better life in the future."
The three of them clinked glasses together and regained the seamless friendship they had before. After drinking until eleven o'clock, both Song Yi and Chen Ende were a little drunk. Fortunately, there was no one in the county town at midnight. Lin Meihui drove the two of them. Go back to Chen Ende's house.
Chen Ende and Song Yi were both sitting in the back seat. Song Yi asked Chen Ende quietly, "Did you also like Meihui back then? Tell the truth. I just want to hear the truth from you..."
Chen Ende was already half-drunk, but he still couldn't say something nonsense. He looked up at Song Yi and asked, "Brother Song Yi, don't talk to me. I have practiced drinking in business over the years. Besides, Lin Meihui is my sister-in-law. How can I Miss you, you have no memory, but you can’t make up memories randomly..."
"Never liked it?"
"My love is not what you think. At that time, Meihui was young, capable and sensible, and she also pulled me, a dandy, back from the brink of falling off. My parents liked her very much, and she also I just want to recognize her as my goddaughter."
Chen Ende recalled that at the beginning, he was so angry with his own father that he vomited blood and was in a state of panic every day. If Lin Meihui hadn't appeared, he would probably have seen his photo instead of his father when he came home...
Although he has experienced many things in these years, the appearance of Lin Meihui was a major turning point in his life. Up to now, his parents say to everyone that Lin Meihui gave Chen Ende a new life. Chen Ende felt embarrassed every time. I think Lin Meihui is several years younger than me. What does it mean that she has reborn herself?
He persuaded his parents several times not to say that, but they were happy to say it. Lin Meihui didn’t know what to think when she heard it...
But my father seemed to have made up his mind to recognize this benefactor and had never heard of it. There is a legend circulating in the town now, saying that a grandma Lin educated Uncle Ende well and made him return to the right path. There is one less person in the town. The playboy has a successful businessman...
Chen Ende corrected him at first, but later he just let it go and just let grandma be grandma. As long as everyone lives a happy life anyway.
Song Yi was drunk, otherwise he couldn't ask this question directly. The main reason was to consider the consequences when he was sober. Now that he heard what Chen Ende said, he felt at least seventy-eight points clear, but he felt that if Chen Ende didn't like Lin Meihui, how could it be possible? I have helped them without any regrets for so many years...
Lin Meihui, who was driving, was too focused on the front and didn't pay attention to the muttering behind her. When she came home and entered the door, Song Yi muttered, "Meihui is my wife now..."
"Well, your wife."
Chen Ende smiled, and Lin Meihui suddenly felt that they must have exchanged some topic just now, otherwise how could they continue this? She turned back to look at Song Yi and Chen Ende, and couldn't tell which of them drank more. She just felt frantic for half a minute, then took the key and opened the door.
When Chen Ende got home, he went to sleep on the third floor and did not come down again. Lin Meihui helped Song Yi take a shower and made two more cups of honey water for Song Yi to drink. When she got to the third floor, she hesitated whether to go up. Later, she thought about him Alone and alone...
After knocking on the door and hearing a reply, she opened the door and saw Chen Ende sitting by the bed alone, with his head hanging down, looking sad. Lin Meihui put the honey water to Chen Ende's mouth, "Drink some honey." Water relieves hangover, why are you crying?”
"Mei Hui, has Song Yi really lost all his past memories?"
"It's not all lost. Didn't this remind me of you?"
