Whispering Bonds of Memories Chapter 5

Jasper Gu drove the motorcycle outside the store, and Isla Gu climbed onto the back seat with her skateboard in her arms, hugged his waist, and pressed her face against his back.

"Let me look at your face." Jasper Gu turned his head.

Isla Gu raised her face and looked at him.

"There are still tears, wipe them away." Jasper Gu said.

Isla Gu rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and rubbed her sleeve under her nose.

"Hey," Jasper Gu sighed, "If you were a boy, you would be considered rough."

Isla Gu smiled and put her face back on his back.

Jasper Gu drove out and drove towards the shopping mall in the city center with a clear goal. For Isla Gu, the so-called feast only refers to the self-service barbecue restaurant in the shopping mall.

This little girl is stubborn in some aspects that is different from ordinary people. When she goes out to eat, she will only eat from that family.

Probably the biggest advantage of a small city is that there is only one center, and it doesnt take long to get there no matter which district you come from.

However, at this time, the barbecue restaurant was the most crowded, and when they arrived, there were almost no empty tables inside.

"Does your store have any discounts today?" Jasper Gu asked the waiter, taking out his mobile phone to look for any coupons, and then flicked on Isla Gu's head, "Go find a table."

Isla Gu put the skateboard on the ground and stepped on it with one foot. He quickly stepped on it too: "Walk."

"Should the skateboard be left at the front desk?" the waiter asked with a smile.

Isla Gu shook her head, quickly bent down to pick up the skateboard, and held it in her arms.

"She can take it herself." Jasper Gu said.

Isla Gu ran in holding the skateboard.

"Holy Sh!t, I asked you to say you were hungry," Arlo Pan swallowed, "Seriously, I will go over to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you can take me to eat by the way. There are so many dishes at this price here. "

"Did your family go to help the poor during the Chinese New Year?" Kaden Jiang held the phone between his legs, a plate in one hand, and a tong in the other, slowly picking up pork belly, fat beef, pork belly, fat beef... Actually, No matter how many dishes there are to choose from, it doesn't matter to him, there are only a few that he likes to eat.

"How can it be the same?" Arlo Pan said, her tone a little low. "Last semester, we even said we would have a barbecue together during the Chinese New Year. But not only did we not eat the meat, we also lost sight of anyone."

"When you come, you go and stay at the hotel." Kaden Jiang put down the tongs, took another plate, piled the meat on it, and continued to put it on, "and you have to order it yourself. I don't have the energy to do anything now."

"I can live at your place." Arlo Pan said.

"No," Kaden Jiang frowned. He didn't want to stay in the house he was living in now. "You book a standard room and I'll come over."

"...Do you have a bad relationship with your biological father?" Arlo Pan thought for a while.

"We haven't established a relationship yet," Kaden Jiang held two plates of meat and went over to get another bottle of beer, "I can't say it's good or bad..."

He froze when he reached his table.

A table for four, with a skateboard on one chair, a little bald man in blue clothes sitting on another chair, and a... green woolen hat with small pink flowers on the table.

"Isla Gu?" Kaden Jiang looked at her in surprise.

Isla Gu nodded, seemingly not surprised, and took off the skateboard and put it under the table.

"You..." He put the plate in his hand on the table and saw that Isla Gu was staring at the barbecue plate expectantly. He reached out and waved it in front of Isla Gu's eyes, "Who are you here with?"

Isla Gu stood up, pointed toward the door, and waved a few more times.

When Kaden Jiang turned around and looked over, he saw Jasper Gu who was equally surprised as he was.

"Let's find another table," Jasper Gu came over, "My brother is already sitting at this table."

Isla Gu looked around, swallowed, and sat still.

"The waiter just told me there are a few tables over there," Jasper Gu pointed inside, "Let's go over there."

Isla Gu still sat still, looking up at him with her face expressionless. She didn't know what she wanted to express.

Jasper Gu was in a stalemate with her for a while, then turned to look at Kaden Jiang.

"Huh?" Kaden Jiang also looked at him.

"Are you alone?" Jasper Gu asked.

"Yeah." Kaden Jiang responded and sat down.

The waiter came over and opened the oven and laid it with paper. He put a few pieces of meat on it and prepared it for brushing.

"Then let's..." Jasper Gu seemed to be hesitating, and it took him a while to finish speaking, "Together?"

Kaden Jiang raised his eyes and glanced at him. To be honest, he really wanted to answer you. You think so, go wash the quilt cover.

But the two big eyes on Gu Miaoguang's head across from him were also looking at him. He couldn't say this very well, and he nodded after brushing the meat twice.

"Thanks," Jasper Gu said, and pointed at Isla Gu, "Sit here and wait for me. I'll get something to eat."

Isla Gu nodded.

After Jasper Gu walked away, Kaden Jiang spread two pieces of fat beef on the paper and asked Isla Gu: "Which one do you want? Pork belly or fat beef."

Isla Gu pointed to the fat cow.

"The pork belly is also delicious. It's sizzling and oily...I can eat five or six plates." Kaden Jiang turned the meat over and brushed it with some oil. "Do you like spicy food?"

Isla Gu shook her head.

Kaden Jiang put a piece of roasted fat beef on the plate in front of her: "Eat it."

Isla Gu hesitated a little and turned to look in the direction where Jasper Gu was walking away.

"It's okay..." Before Kaden Jiang could finish his words, he suddenly saw a clear scar on the back of Isla Gu's head. It was five centimeters long by visual inspection, and he was a little surprised.

Isla Gu didn't see Jasper Gu, so she turned around, lowered her head, stuffed the fat cow into her mouth, and smiled at him.

"Try a piece of pork belly?" Kaden Jiang asked her.

Isla Gu nodded.

He picked up another piece of pork belly and put it over. He took the hat off the table and put it on the chair next to him. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue again: "Who bought you the hat?"

Isla Gu lowered her head and ate the meat without saying anything.

Eat without talking.

This little girl is probably the person who executes this rule most perfectly among the people he has ever seen.

Jasper Gu quickly brought the food over, but his food-taking skills were obviously not as good as his. He took three plates in one trip. If he hadn't been on the phone with Arlo Pan just now, six plates at a time would be fine. Let's have some after eating. Fruit is pretty much it.

The table for four was against the wall. Isla Gu was sitting on the opposite side of the table, enjoying a delicious meal. Kaden Jiang was sitting on the inside, grilling meat. Jasper Gu hesitated and sat next to him.

Kaden Jiang reluctantly was about to take his food and help him bake it, when he stretched out his hand and poked Isla Gu's head gently: "Go get your drink yourself."

Isla Gu stood up and went to the drinks table. Jasper Gu quickly stood up and sat on the opposite side.

Kaden Jiang glanced at him and continued to roast pork belly and fat beef.

"You have a fever and you still eat something so greasy?" Jasper Gu asked.

"Huh?" Kaden Jiang paused and looked at the rice cakes he was baking, "You know?"

"When I dragged you in, your hands were hot. Didn't you know that?" Jasper Gu said.

"Drag?" Kaden Jiang uncontrollably imagined the scene of himself being dragged into the store by Jasper Gu like a broken sack.

"Otherwise, why would I still hug you?" Jasper Gu put two more slices of bacon on it, and the two of them grilled half of it, looking very harmonious.

Kaden Jiang didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he ate a piece of pork belly.

Isla Gu, who went to get the drinks, came back with several bottles in her arms and put the beers on the table one by one. Four bottles were all opened, and there was actually a glass of orange juice.

"You're pretty awesome," Kaden Jiang looked at her in shock, "Didn't it spill all over the floor?"

Isla Gu shook her head, sat back at the table, and pushed a bottle of beer and a glass of orange juice in front of him.

"I don't..." He was about to let Isla Gu drink orange juice by herself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that Isla Gu had already poured a glass of beer into his glass, "You... ."

Isla Gu picked up the cup and took a long sip. She sighed happily and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Kaden Jiang glanced at Jasper Gu and found that he was rolling a piece of pork belly into a lettuce leaf without even looking at Isla Gu.

"She drinks?" Kaden Jiang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I drink it when eating barbecue," Jasper Gu handed the rolled lettuce wrap in front of him, "I don't drink it normally."

Kaden Jiang looked at the vegetable rolls.

Jasper Gu didn't say anything, he just held it up like that.

"...Thank you." He had no choice but to take it and take a bite.

"Aren't you afraid of getting tired of eating pure pork belly?" Jasper Gu asked.

"It's okay, I quite like it." Kaden Jiang said.

Jasper Gu wrapped two more papers for Isla Gu, and then asked again: "You are not a local, are you? Listen to the accent."

"No." Kaden Jiang replied. When he mentioned this, he suddenly felt a little upset. His dissatisfaction was so easily suppressed by the pork belly and fat beef, and he tried hard to get out of his head.

"Who are you, Colin Li?" Jasper Gu continued to ask.

Kaden Jiang was stunned, how could Jasper Gu know about Colin Li? But this question was quickly overwhelmed by annoyance. He threw two pieces of meat on the baking sheet: "What does it have to do with you?"

Jasper Gu raised his eyes and glanced at him, smiled and said nothing. He picked up a bottle of beer and knocked it lightly on the bottle in front of him. After taking a sip, he continued to barbecue.

It was the first time that Kaden Jiang ate face to face with a stranger at the same table. He didnt want to talk at first, and now he had nothing to say.

Opposite him, Jasper Gu didn't seem to be interested in talking anymore. Gu Xiaomei was probably really mute, and he was happily eating wine and meat.

In silence, Kaden Jiang ate four plates of meat against his swollen head. He felt that she had eaten about the same amount, so Jasper Gu went out to get it several times.

She put down her chopsticks after Kaden Jiang finished eating, leaned back on the chair and rubbed her belly.

"Are you full?" Jasper Gu asked.

She nodded.

"Better to eat than your brother." Kaden Jiang couldn't help but sum up.

"Why are you here?" Jasper Gu also put down his chopsticks, "I'll take you back later, I'm just on my way."

"Motorcycle?" Kaden Jiang asked.

"Yeah." Jasper Gu nodded.

"Drunk driving and overloading?" Kaden Jiang asked.

Jasper Gu said nothing, staring at him for a long time with eyes that were either mocking or something else, and finally patted Isla Gu on the shoulder: "Let's go."

After Jasper Gu took Isla Gu away, Kaden Jiang stood up and went to get another half plate of meat and a small basket of lettuce leaves.

The pork belly with lettuce that Jasper Gu wrapped for him before was quite delicious, refreshing and not greasy.

After finishing half of the plate of meat, he felt that he should probably walk back to eat.

But it was too cold outside. He huddled behind the leather curtain at the entrance of the mall and took out his mobile phone to call for a car, but five minutes passed and no one took the order.

However, Arlo Pan called again: "This ticket has two stations, and the times are different. Which station should I buy?"

"East Station," Kaden Jiang said, "I only know East Station."

"Okay," Arlo Pan said, "pick me up at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. You can send me your address later and I will look for nearby hotels."

"Probably not." Kaden Jiang recalled the overall feeling of the area. It didn't look like a place where there could be a hotel. "You can book whatever you want, it's not that big here."

After hanging up the phone, someone finally took the order. When Kaden Jiang got into the car, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Maybe this is a result of acclimatization. A person who usually rarely even catches a cold has turned into a delicate flower in a change of environment. After struggling all morning and eating his favorite food, there is no sign of getting better at all. Hurry up. Defeated them all.

He closed his eyes and sighed.

In the past two days, people from the Mao family were probably out celebrating the Chinese New Year. There were a lot of cars on the road. The driver drove hard, slamming the accelerator and braking hard. Within ten minutes of driving out, Kaden Jiang felt his stomach start to churn.

Although the journey was not far, and the whole journey only took half an hour, when he saw the intersection of Jasper Gu's house, he couldn't hold it any longer. He couldn't even speak, so he just patted the car door a few times.

"Here?" the driver asked.

He nodded and patted the door twice more.

The driver stopped the car. He opened the door and jumped out of the car as if he had been farted. He rushed to a trash can on the side of the road and vomited.

He himself couldn't bear to watch this horrific scene.

After all the shaking, it finally subsided, leaving only a pain in his head that felt like it was going to explode. He put his hand on the wall and tried to get a tissue out of his pocket, but he couldn't find it for a long time.

Just as the fire was starting from the soles of his feet, a small arm stretched out from the side, holding a few tissues in his hand.

He grabbed a tissue, covered his mouth and wiped it a few times before looking aside.

There is really no shortage of coincidences in this world.

Isla Gu was standing nearby, wearing her green hat, and three steps behind was Jasper Gu, who looked like he was watching a show.

"Thank you." Kaden Jiang nodded to Isla Gu. It was quite aggrieved to be in such a humiliating situation and couldn't just turn around and leave or say, "It depends on your mother."

Isla Gu reached out, grabbed his hand, and pulled him forward, probably to help him walk.

"No need." Kaden Jiang pulled out his hand.

Isla Gu grabbed his hand again, still trying to help him.

"No need, I'm fine." Kaden Jiang said.

When he wanted to take his hand out again, Isla Gu grabbed his hand and didn't let go.

"Er Miao..." Jasper Gu walked over.

Isla Gu still didn't let go.

Kaden Jiang didn't know how to communicate with her. All kinds of unhappiness made him irritated and forcefully shook off Isla Gu's hand: "I told you not to hold her!"

Isla Gu didn't move, her hand was still raised in the air, stunned.

Before Kaden Jiang's guilt could spread, he felt a sudden tightening on his neck, and Jasper Gu grabbed his collar from behind and staggered him.

"Fcuk..." He turned his head and bumped his elbows back at the same time.

Jasper Gu's hand caught his elbow, and the hand holding his collar tightened, and he had to lean close to Jasper Gu affectionately.

The strangled neck made him want to vomit again.

"She likes you very much," Jasper Gu whispered in his ear, "but sometimes she can't understand other people's emotions. Please bear with me."

Kaden Jiang wanted to say that in his 17 fucking years of life, I have never seen anyone ask someone for help in this way, but he couldn't say so many words and could only squeeze out three words from between his teeth: "I'm going to vomit."

Jasper Gu let go.

He leaned against the wall and retched twice, but nothing came out.

Jasper Gu handed over a bottle of water. He took it, opened it and took two sips. After he recovered, he looked at Isla Gu and said, "I'm fine, no need to help."

Isla Gu nodded and retreated to Jasper Gu.

"I'm going back." He threw the half-drunk water into the trash can, turned around and walked towards the intersection ahead.

Hold!

Returning to Colin Li's place, Kaden Jiang smelled the aroma of food as soon as he opened the door.

Colin Li was standing in the living room holding a cell phone and dialing.

Just as Kaden Jiang was about to speak, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and looked at it. The number was Colin Li: "You..."

Colin Li turned around when he heard the ringtone of his cell phone and shouted in a loud voice: "Hey! When did you come back? I'll call you!"

"Just walked in," Kaden Jiang closed the door, "You...didn't you hear?"

"My ears are not good," Colin Li pointed to his ear, "You have to turn your head towards the sound to hear clearly."

"Oh." Kaden Jiang responded.

"Where have you been?" Colin Li went into the kitchen and brought out a pot of soup. "I've been waiting for you to eat for a long time."

"I..." Kaden Jiang hesitated, not mentioning that he went to eat at the buffet barbecue, "I went to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital?" Colin Li shouted immediately. While shouting, he reached out and touched his face a few times, "Sick? What's wrong with you? Have a fever? Are you acclimated?"

"Take your medicine, nothing will happen." For the sake of lunch, Kaden Jiang endured his yellow-black hand that smelled of thick smoke and did not slap it away.

"I'm telling you, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't need to go to the hospital. There is a community clinic on the street next to it. It's pretty good," Colin Li said. "It's just that the front is a bit recessed and hard to see. It's next to a small supermarket." "

"Oh," Kaden Jiang thought for a moment, "Small supermarket? It's Jasper Gu..."

"How do you know Jasper Gu?" Colin Li turned his head and looked at him in surprise, "You just arrived and you hooked up with him?"

"No," Kaden Jiang didn't bother to explain, "I went to the small supermarket to buy something this morning."

"I'm telling you," Colin Li's voice became louder. Although his voice has always been loud, it was especially loud now, "Don't hang out with him, that kid is not a good thing!"

"...Oh." Kaden Jiang took off his coat and threw it into the back room.

Colin Li looked at him, probably waiting for him to ask why. After waiting for a while, he saw that he didn't speak again, so he came over and said with a storyteller face: "Do you know why you say he is not a good thing?"

"Why?" Kaden Jiang actually had no interest in knowing this, but he still asked in cooperation.

"He killed his own father!" Colin Li said, getting a little close and spraying half of his face with excited saliva.

Kaden Jiang stood up suddenly and dodged, smearing his face hard several times. He was about to get angry when he suddenly realized: "What? Who to kill?"

"His biological father!" Colin Li half shouted, "His biological father was drowned."

Kaden Jiang looked at him without saying anything. Looking at Colin Li's high-interest expression, he could probably talk about this kind of gossip all afternoon if he wanted to.

It's a pity that Kaden Jiang doesn't believe it.

"You don't have to go to jail for killing your biological father." He sat on the chair next to the table and pinched his swollen eyebrows.

"It happened many years ago. Why should I be imprisoned?" Colin Li also sat down. "No one saw it with their own eyes."

"No one saw it..." Kaden Jiang smiled.

"Everyone knows what happened. His father was in the lake when the police came, and he was on the shore. His expression..." Colin Li clicked his tongue in succession, "You can tell it was him at a glance... ....You eat it and try it to see if it suits your taste."

Kaden Jiang didn't say anything and picked up a piece of ribs.

"It's for his family Ermiao," Colin Li probably noticed that he didn't believe it, and added as if to strengthen his credibility, "his father beat him so badly that his head was bleeding, and he couldn't speak after he was rescued. "

"Ah." Kaden Jiang replied while biting his ribs, thinking of the shocking scar on the back of Isla Gu's head.
