I failed again

Gu Ruiwen looked at An Jingcheng and after he said, "To be exact, it was given to you by me," he just stared at him in silence with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Ruiwen waited for a long time, but An Jingcheng didn't continue to speak, so he waved his hand in front of An Jingcheng's eyes and said, "Jingcheng? What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

An Jingcheng instantly came out of his memories, looked at Gu Ruiwen's concerned expression, and replied, "Nothing, I just remembered some past events."

Gu Ruiwen asked curiously, "What past event is it? Is it related to me?"

An Jingcheng nodded, and then said, "It's... about us wandering outside together."

An Jingcheng thought about it and still felt that he couldn't tell Gu Ruiwen the whole story.

After all, once he said that, his identity would basically be exposed, and the persona he had worked so hard to maintain in front of Gu Ruiwen for so many days would collapse.

But it wouldn't work if I didn't explain clearly to Gu Ruiwen why I gave him the bracelet.

So, he changed the background of being in the training camp to wandering outside together.

"You were always protecting me. One time, you were beaten and seriously injured while protecting me. I was very scared and thought of my mother... Someone told me that this bracelet can keep people safe, so I took it off and put it on you."

Gu Ruiwen listened to this and smiled, "Then your bracelet is really effective. It keeps me safe and sound."

An Jingcheng lowered his eyes and did not respond.

Three days after Gu Ruiwen was given the bracelet, he died in the fight.

This caused him to constantly doubt in recent years whether he was really a jinx, and that even giving a bracelet that promised to keep someone safe could drive them away.

Fortunately, Gu Ruiwen was now standing in front of him in good health.

"Then, how did my father's people find me? Does Jing Cheng know anything?" Gu Ruiwen asked.

An Jingcheng shook his head. He really didn't know. "I don't know how you were found back at Gu's house. I only know that one day you disappeared and I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried. I cried for a long time at that time."

After hearing this, Gu Ruiwen touched An Jingcheng's hair with some distress and said, "Hasn't it been found now?"

An Jingcheng nodded, reached out to hug him and replied, "Yes, I found it."

Gu Ruiwen hugged him back and asked, "What happens after that? After I leave, you'll be alone..."

Gu Ruiwen felt so distressed when he imagined little An Jingcheng living alone under the overpass, with a soft personality and never fighting back when being bullied.

An Jingcheng thought for a moment and made up a story, "Not long after that, I was taken in by the director of the orphanage. Because the orphanage had no funds, I didn't even have time to study, so I started working. Until a month ago, I was working as a waiter in a hotel and met you."

Listening to An Jingcheng's words, Gu Ruiwen felt very uncomfortable. If only he hadn't lost his memory and still remembered Jingcheng, he could let his father adopt Jingcheng, and he could grow up with Jingcheng and develop feelings with him.

When I think of my child, who is only half a grown-up and cannot even go to school because of lack of money, and has to work on his own, and who is rather timid in character, I wonder how much injustice he has suffered outside over the years.

Gu Ruiwen thought again of what happened when he met the other party again. He just watched Zhao Mingzhe tease Jing Cheng without saying anything to stop him.

Not only that, he then grabbed Jing Cheng's neck and pressed him to the ground. Gu Ruiwen was very clear that he was in a bad mood at the time because his bracelet was touched by someone, and he did not hold back when he took action, and used 100% of his strength.

Now that I think about it, I really don't know what to say. What's wrong with someone touching the things I gave you? Is it necessary to be so violent towards them?

Gu Ruiwen cursed himself in his heart, and then he thought about what he had said when An Jingcheng asked him where the bracelet came from.

Oh, he said in a cold tone, what does this have to do with you.

No wonder Jing Cheng suddenly burst into tears at that time. He should have recognized me at that time. It would have been fine if I didn’t recognize him, but I was also mean to him.

I really deserve to die! Gu Ruiwen thought.

Now Gu Ruiwen wished he could go back to that night and beat himself up so that he would speak more gently to Jing Cheng.

Just as he thought of this, he heard An Jingcheng's aggrieved voice in his ear, "You pinched my neck so hard that night that you almost strangled me to death."

Gu Ruiwen looked down and met An Jingcheng's dissatisfied and accusing eyes. He was a little flustered for a moment and quickly explained, "I didn't recognize him at the time... No, I was in a bad mood because my bracelet was touched by someone, so I hit him a little too hard..."

An Jingcheng said dimly, "Is that a little bit? My back hurt a lot when you pushed me to the ground."

Gu Ruiwen kept apologizing, "It's my fault, my fault, Jing Cheng, don't be angry." He also suggested, "How about you hit me back? I promise not to fight back!"

How could An Jingcheng really fight back as he said? He smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I just scared you, and I don't mean to blame you. After all, you forgot about me. I was just a stranger in your eyes at that time."

"If a stranger suddenly came over and touched the things I care about most, I would be angry too. Besides, I can't bear to hit you."

After listening to An Jingcheng's considerate words, Gu Ruiwen still felt a little guilty. It would be better to just beat him up, at least it would make him feel better.

"Okay, let's not talk about those unpleasant things." An Jingcheng said, seeing that he was obviously still struggling with what happened that night.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Gu Ruiwen responded, "Then let's go to the Gu family's old house together tomorrow. I'll take you to meet my father."

An Jingcheng blinked and responded obediently, "Okay."

……

Jiang Ruoyuan is here.

Because the An family's banquet happened to be held at Xinggu Villa, and in order to fulfill his statement in the morning that he had been resting at Xinggu Villa recently, Bai Ci took Jiang Ruoyuan away from the An family and came to the house near the villa.

Fortunately, he asked Secretary Li to send someone over to make some arrangements in the morning, making the villa look like someone had lived in it recently, so Jiang Ruoyuan didn't notice anything wrong.

Bai Ci arranged Jiang Ruoyuan to live in the second bedroom and had asked someone to come and clean up the room in advance, so Jiang Ruoyuan could just move in with his luggage.

Well...well, Jiang Ruoyuan didn't have a bag, just himself and a cell phone.

Bai Ci could only call Secretary Li, tell him Jiang Ruoyuan's size, and ask him to help buy some clothes and send them over.

Fortunately, there was a bathrobe prepared in the second bedroom, so Jiang Ruoyuan went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Jiang Ruoyuan lay down on the bed, called up the system, and relayed the situation on Qi Anyan's side. He found that the other party had fallen asleep, while Xie Zhixuan was still processing things in front of the computer.

He shut down the system.

After lying down for a while, he heard some noise downstairs. Jiang Ruoyuan went out and saw that it was Secretary Li who brought something over.

After handing the things to Jiang Ruoyuan, Secretary Li did not stay for long and left directly.

After Jiang Ruoyuan took the things back to the room, he thought about thanking Bai Ci, left the room, and came to the door of Bai Ci's room.

Jiang Ruoyuan knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knocked a few more times, but still no response.

He was a little surprised. Did Bai Ci go to bed so early?

Just as I was about to go back to my room, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: Could someone be in the study?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoyuan walked towards the study. As soon as he knocked on the study door, Bai Ci's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Jiang Ruoyuan pushed open the study door and walked in. Seeing Bai Ci sitting at the desk, he asked, "Are you working?"

Bai Ci responded, "There was an urgent document that needed my review just now, and it has been processed now."

"That's good. I thought I disturbed you at work." Jiang Ruoyuan said with a smile.

"If you say so, then it does count." Bai Ci said.

"Ah?" Jiang Ruoyuan was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I was just watching the live broadcast of 965, observing the progress of my mission target." Bai Ci tilted his head and asked, "Doesn't this count as work?"

After all, if you really think about it, this is my main job.

"Of course it counts." Jiang Ruoyuan said with a smile.

The next second, he came up to Bai Ci curiously and asked, "Can I watch it too?"

Bai Ci said, "They are now discussing what to wear and what gifts to bring when they meet their parents tomorrow..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ruoyuan's surprised voice, "Damn, are they progressing so fast?"

It's only been a few days? And it's already developed to the point of meeting the parents? How fast is this?!

Bai Ci was also somewhat helpless, "To be honest, I didn't expect them to progress so quickly."

How long has he been in this world? Less than a week, right?

I haven't done anything yet, but the object of the task has already finished his task. It feels like it's the same whether I'm in this task or not.

No wonder 965 said that the task completion rate of the Yue Lao group was as high as %. Given the speed of the task subjects themselves, it would be strange if it was not high.

"Then won't you be able to complete the mission and leave soon?" Jiang Ruoyuan looked at Bai Ci with some envy.

Bai Ci nodded and said, "Yes, the mission should be completed soon." He also comforted Jiang Ruoyuan, "It's okay, I will stay here to accompany you when the mission is completed. When your mission is finished, we will leave this mission world together."

Jiang Ruoyuan was somewhat touched, but still refused, "No, after all, I don't know when I will finish this task, so I won't delay you from carrying out the next task."

Thinking about his slow progress bar, Jiang Ruoyuan felt like crying.

But he changed his mind and realized that it was a good thing that Qi Anyan and the others did not develop as fast as An Jingcheng and the others, otherwise, he would have returned to the system space and been struck by lightning, and would not have been able to struggle even in his death throes.

Bai Ci raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure? If I leave, the original owner will come back. Then you will be in trouble."

At that time, Jiang Ruoyuan will not only have to face the pursuit of Qi Anyan and An Jingcheng, but also have to find ways to deal with the original owner.

Oh, there is one more thing. Jiang Ruoyuan will go on a mission with Qi Anyan at that time.

Jiang Ruoyuan also thought of this. He rushed over and hugged Bai Ci, wailing, "Brother, I beg you, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now. Don't leave. Wait until my mission is over and we can leave together."

Bai Ci looked at Jiang Ruoyuan, whose expression changed so quickly, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then he said, "Don't worry, I won't leave for now. I will go with you after your mission is completed."

Then, he received the Good Guy Card distributed by Jiang Ruoyuan.

To be honest, I don’t really want to collect it.

Bai Ci pushed Jiang Ruoyuan and asked, "By the way, what did you come here for just now?"

Jiang Ruoyuan let go of his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Secretary Li has sent the clothes and other things over, I came to tell you and thank you by the way."

"Secretary Li is pretty quick." Bai Ci praised, "By the way, do you still want to go to work with me tomorrow? Or do you want to stay at home?"

Jiang Ruoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Let me go with you. After all, being alone is a terrible thing." Just like in the morning, if Bai Ci hadn't arrived in time, he would have been sent back to the system space by Qi Anyan.

Although Qi Anyan is injured now, An Jingcheng is busy with his relationship and cannot come to see him.

But what if they hired a killer or something? Jiang Ruoyuan said he couldn't handle it alone.

Bai Ci smiled. It seemed that what happened in the morning had left Jiang Ruoyuan with a big psychological trauma.

"If you want to go together, you have to get up early tomorrow. After all, it's almost an hour's journey from here to the group." Bai Ci reminded.

Jiang Ruoyuan made an "OK" gesture and said, "Don't worry, I will get up early. I will go to bed now."

As he said this, he walked out of the study room. Before he left, he asked with concern, "You too, go to bed early and don't stay up late. It's not good for your health."

"Well, let's go back to our room and sleep now." Bai Ci said, turned off the computer, got up and went back to his room.

The next day, Jiang Ruoyuan got up early, went downstairs to have breakfast, and then followed Bai Ci to the group.

As soon as he arrived at Bai Ci's office, Jiang Ruoyuan sat on the sofa. After checking on Qi Anyan's situation as usual, Jiang Ruoyuan started playing games.

After a while, he felt a little bored, so he said something to Bai Ci and went downstairs for a walk.

Every time Jiang Ruoyuan arrived at a floor, he would receive a lot of scrutiny, which made him feel very uncomfortable. After hurriedly touring the group, he ran back to Bai Ci's office.

Seeing him coming back, Bai Ci was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you were going out for a walk? How come you're back so soon?" Finished the walk so soon? The Bai Group can't be that small, right?

Jiang Ruoyuan waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. As soon as I went down, everyone looked at me like I was a monkey. It made me feel very uncomfortable. I didn't dare to stay any longer. I quickly ran back to you."

Bai Ci laughed. He understood why his men were so curious about Jiang Ruoyuan. It was a little funny.
