I know all your secrets

On Jiang Yichen's birthday, he went to work on time as usual.

When we arrived at the office of the college, the head of the department was smoking a cigarette and scratching the few hairs sadly. Seeing Jiang Yichen appearing, he immediately pinched his cigarette, ran up briskly, and asked, "Xiao Jiang, how are you?"

Jiang Yichen was flattered by his nervous appearance, like an underground worker in a special period.

"Director, I'm fine. I just have a fever as usual. It's not that serious."

The director hesitated to speak: "During the dinner that night, you... nothing happened to you, right?"

He lowered his voice and whispered: "Principal Liu and his secretary also left at that time. The three of you haven't come back for a long time, and something happened to the principal after that."

"The hotel staff found the two people in the bathroom, called 120 and called the police."

Although Secretary Zhang said that the principal fell down and passed out in the bathroom, the head of the department saw that Jiang Yichen hadn't come back for a long time, and the phone couldn't be reached. He was really anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"I saw that you kept asking for leave and thought something happened, and then Principal Liu was reported. I was really terrified."

Jiang Yichen smiled: "I may have suffered from some wind and cold, and my old illness has relapsed. After the fever subsides, I will be fine. Sorry, Director, I made you worry."

The director breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the nasty Principal Liu, he said bitterly: "You will kill yourself if you do many unrighteous actions. That Principal Liu deserves what he deserves. After all, he has received retribution. I'm afraid that those who have been swallowing their anger all the time will join us." A handful of firewood, he has no good fruit to eat."

Patting Jiang Yichen on the shoulder, the director nodded and said, "From now on, you can rest assured, you are a talent, and you will never be buried by these nasty things."

Jiang Yichen smiled, but said nothing.

When they arrived in the classroom, the students were very happy to see Mr. Jiang coming.He was sick twice a day, but fortunately, the course was not delayed much.He gave several lessons to the students one day, and when school was over in the afternoon, he happily took a taxi back to the old house in Nanqiao.

The old house of Jiang Yichen's family is located in Fuyuan Community, the back of the original government government. It was originally a family area of ​​the government. Later, the government moved to a new location not far away. Many elderly people in the community were reluctant to leave. I have lived here all the time, because the Nanhe River passing through half of Yancheng is next to the community, so the community is also called Nanqiao by the old people.

The location of the South Bridge is special, and the residents are all sensitive people. There are armed police guarding the gate of the community which is far away from the residential area.

Jiang Yichen got out of the taxi and followed the concrete road towards his home.He stood at the entrance of the community and looked back to the other side of the road. There was another residential area where the armed police were also on guard, called Fuyuan Community.

Across the road, the old people call it Beixiang.

They live next to each other, but many "historical problems" have been left behind. The North Lane can be regarded as a concentration of military compounds, while the South Bridge is mostly cadres working in state government agencies.These two areas have always been distinct, and after many years of infrequent contact, there is a faint sense of being both bright and bright.

When Jiang Yichen was young, he followed Liang Xiaodou and played with the children in the community, but he never ran to the opposite side beyond the limit.

The children on the opposite side came over to provoke occasionally, but they were all scolded by their parents and pulled back by their ears.

Therefore, even though he and Nie Shenxing were about the same age, they had never met each other.Even the name has only recently been heard more.

Mentioning Nie Shenxing, Jiang Yichen slowed down again.

The tall and indifferent, but also considerate and gentle President Nie has not been home for two days.

He didn't hear the dog barking next door, or the roaring engine of the sports car.

The autumn wind blew away the broken hair on Jiang Yichen's forehead with a chill.He looked up at the long-lost scenery and sighed in his heart.

Since he moved out of South Bridge, he hasn't been back for a while. He met many neighbors while walking. The enthusiastic neighbors took the initiative to greet him and asked with concern:

"Chenchen is back! Long time no see. How is your body?"

"Eat well, look at how thin you are."

While Jiang Yichen responded one by one with a smile, he quickly walked to the door of the house.

Push the door and enter the yard, and in the yard in front of the door is a grape trellis built by my father.Although the harvest season has passed, there are still abundant bunches of grapes hanging everywhere.

Jiang Yichen walked over, reached out his hand and was about to pick one off and taste it.The window on the first floor was opened, and his mother pushed open the window and shouted at him: "Chenchen, come in quickly, the grapes have been washed for you."

Jiang's mother, Gao Jingru, was gentle and virtuous, standing in the porch with an apron on, when she saw Jiang Yichen, she hugged him tightly and said aggrievedly:

"Chenchen became wild after moving out, and even if he came back to see us, your dad and I will become empty-nesters."

Jiang Yichen looked at his gentle and gentle father standing behind his mother with a wry smile, and after thinking about it, he still exposed her: "Mom, if I remember correctly, didn't you and your father return to China last weekend?"

Gao Jingru pretended not to hear anything, and was still dissatisfied and complained in front of her son, "I can finally understand your grandfather's distressed mood now. When the children grow up, they spread their wings and fly around, but they just don't go home."

Jiang Yichen took off his shoes, hugged his father again, and then turned around and took his mother's hand to the living room.

"My sister booked you the air tickets for next week, isn't it to Finland? Grandpa called me and asked me to buy more beef sauce for him."

The gentle and virtuous Mother Jiang immediately pouted and muttered, "Father really is, just tell me what you want."

Jiang Jiying looked at his wife and son talking to each other with a smile, and said, "Okay, Xiaochen should be hungry too, let's chat while eating."

Jiang Yichen entered the living room, only to find that the original quaint living room was very cutely decorated, with happy birthday balloons hanging on the ceiling and tied with ribbons.

Although the parents didn't say it, but this kind of thought made people very warm.

His birthday is basically spent at home every year.Because he was weak and sick since he was a child, his parents have always been worried about his health, and every time he celebrates his birthday, he is almost happier than the Chinese New Year.

But this year his sister Jiang Yixue was not at home, so the house seemed a bit deserted.

Gao Jingru greeted Jiang Yichen to take a seat, and the food on the table was full of color, fragrance and taste.Jiang Yichen's culinary skills can be said to have a large part of his talent passed down from his mother's genes.

Therefore, every time he eats the dishes made by his mother, he can only nod in praise.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother kept picking up vegetables for him and listening to him talk about his recent life.

"I was also captured by my sister and became a young man. Oh, how bloody and bloody the meeting scene was."

Gao Jingru was relieved to see his radiant appearance, Jiang Yichen swallowed the food in his mouth quickly, "By the way, Xiaodou also came back from abroad recently, he probably is right He wasn't happy about it, and he dyed his hair purple when he came back."

Gao Jingru covered her mouth, "Oh my god, he should really come to our house to eat some grapes."

Father Jiang took a mouthful of fish and nodded: "Yes, suppress your anger, that kid Xiaodou has been the little devil in the community since he was a child, and his temper hasn't changed when he grows up."

Jiang Yichen smiled, and talked about interesting things in life incessantly, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother exchanged gratified glances from time to time.

"Is Chenchen busy with work recently?" Gao Jingru asked.

"It's okay," Jiang Yichen mumbled, puffing his cheeks, "My students are sensible and obedient, and they relieved me a lot of burden."

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked his mother: "Mom heard that you are accepting translations again, do you need me to help?"

His mother smiled and waved her hands, "It's just that when you have nothing to do, you can translate and translate casually, and it's not for anything else. It's always good to do something."

As he said that, his mother gave him a reproachful look, "None of you and your sister put their minds on falling in love. If we get married and have a family and have children, your father and I will have a richer life in our later years, right? "

Although Gao Jingru said it relaxed, Jiang Yichen knew that she was also very anxious, especially the elder sister, after her previous boyfriend cheated on her, she hardly focused on her love life anymore, so it was reasonable for her parents to be anxious.

"Today is Chenchen's birthday. Let's talk about something else on such a happy day." Jiang's father immediately changed the subject, "Chenchen, how is living in Yinhe Bay? Are you still used to it?"

Nodding his head, Jiang Yichen reached out to eat the grapes on the corner of the table, and Gao Jingru immediately patted his hand, "Wait a while after the meal before eating fruit, or your stomach will feel sick again."

Jiang Yichen stuck out his tongue before answering his father, "The environment over there is very good. If you have a chance, you can go and live there for a few days. It's quite deserted if I live alone."

Father Jiang nodded, "How are you getting along with your neighbors?"

Jiang Yichen was stunned by his father's casual question, and he paused before saying, "That's good, the neighbor is a good man, and he has helped me several times."

Hearing this, the husband and wife looked at each other, Gao Jingru seemed very worried, and said: "Chenchen, is he just helping you? Is it because of you..."

Taking another sip of freshly squeezed grape juice, Jiang Yichen immediately dispelled his mother's worries: "No, he is just like Xiaodou. I am an ordinary person in front of him."

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were all taken aback, and Jiang's father even stood up abruptly, "You said he wouldn't...won't..."

Jiang Yichen nodded affirmatively, "I even tried it a few times on purpose, and it's true that I'm not confused."

Mother Jiang's chopsticks fell to the ground, and her eyes even started to moisten. Seeing Jiang Yichen looking at her, she smiled excitedly and said, "Really, that's really great. It's rare to have a neighbor like this. We should have a good relationship with our neighbors." Get along."

She said and turned to Jiang's father, "Should we also pay a visit some other day, or we will refund the ticket for next week."

Jiang Yichen saw that the old couple wanted to get serious, and immediately stopped him: "Parents, please don't, grandpa is still waiting for beef sauce, can my neighbor move in a few days, and I will definitely introduce you when I have the opportunity."

As he said, he turned his head and searched around, "Where's my cake, my strawberry birthday cake, and I have to blow out the candles."

Jiang's mother slapped her forehead and hurriedly got up to get the cake in the refrigerator. The family of three finished their meal happily and sang the birthday song. After eating the cake, it was almost ten o'clock.

Jiang Yichen chatted with his parents again, it was almost late at night, Gao Jingru originally wanted him to stay at home for the night, but Jiang Yichen still had some materials to use in class tomorrow, so he went back to Yinhe Bay.

When he opened the door at the door of his house, he glanced at the neighbor inadvertently. The dark villa looked like a black-faced owner who kept silent, exuding the darkness that no one should enter.

How many days has it been?There was no sign of Rhubarb, nor was Nie Shenxing coming in and out.

Jiang Yichen frowned, maybe even people and dogs really moved.

He entered the house and walked straight towards the porch, the sensor lights came on as he approached.

Jiang Yichen looked down, and in the center of the porch, at the gate, a box in one direction was placed on the ground in an orderly manner.

Stopping, Jiang Yichen stared at the box, then raised his head and looked around.

How did the box get into his yard?

In the middle of the night, an unknown box was placed at the door of his house. To be honest, all the fragments of horror movies flashed in his mind.

He was hesitating whether to call the security guard, when he suddenly found a card on the side of the box.

Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, walked over slowly, and stretched his arms to pick up the card.

The plain and fresh card has only two simple lines, which read:

Happy birthday to Teacher Jiang!

The signature is three powerful characters: Nie Shenxing.

Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, he thought about all kinds of possibilities of this box, but he didn't expect it to be a birthday present from Nie Shenxing.

How did Nie Shenxing know that today is his birthday?

He turned his head and looked at the next door, but there was still no light on.

That's right, it's so late, President Nie has probably taken a rest.

Jiang Yichen put the card into his pocket, and after standing there for a long time, he bent over to pick up the box, got up and entered the door.
