Chapter 49 The Last Meal?

A few minutes later, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Then came a commotion at the table…

The sounds of chairs being moved, backpacks zipping up, and students laughing and playing...

The iron gate at the school entrance slowly opened.

A few boys who were just getting out of school on time rushed out first, laughing and joking.

This looks like someone who's going to an internet cafe to play games together.

Gradually, the students filed out with their schoolbags on their backs.

More and more people gathered at the school gate as parents picked up their children one after another.

The parents were all very happy to receive their children.

Jiang Yu definitely couldn't make that expression anymore.

Because Jiang Ning is his sister, not his daughter.

He didn't know what kind of expression his older brother would have when he received his younger sister's gift.

But judging from the group photos on his phone, "he" always looks like a complete idiot when he's smiling.

As the students were picked up one after another, Jiang Yu spotted Jiang Ning at a glance.

On the playground, she silently followed behind a group of girls.

He seems a bit unsociable.

She kept her head down, her ponytail hanging down to cover half of her face, and her black schoolbag bouncing behind her.

Compared to the girls around her carrying brightly colored backpacks, her black backpack made her look rather drab.

Jiang Ning's ponytail was a little crooked today, with a few stray hairs hanging down from both sides and being blown across her face by the wind.

She squinted as she walked, trying to avoid the stray hairs flying around.

He even raised the back of his hand and rubbed his nose, looking both messy and cute.

The setting sun shone on her, turning her school uniform a warm orange color, and her small shadow stretched long and thin.

Jiang Ning walked out of the school gate as if she had lost her soul, completely unaware of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu straddled the electric scooter and tried to type "oi" for a long time, but it was no use.

Finally, having no other choice, I honked the horn on the electric vehicle.

"Beep—"

Jiang Ning then suddenly raised her head.

"elder brother?!"

She paused for a moment, then rushed over like a cannonball.

The schoolbag bounced wildly behind me.

She ran up to Jiang Yu with a look of surprise and delight.

"Brother, you...you actually came to pick me up!"

"Yeah, don't I come to pick you up every day?" Jiang Yu said with a smile.

"But...but aren't you at work?" Jiang Ning asked tentatively.

She wanted to confirm whether Jiang Yu was really working.

If he actually started working, it means he still hasn't regained his memory.

"My workplace isn't far from here, so I can pick you up every day after get off work," Jiang Yu replied matter-of-factly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Ning's large, bright eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Okay!"

She hopped onto the back of the electric scooter with a smile.

"Come on, I'll take you to KFC," Jiang Yu said, turning his head to the side.

Jiang Ning's eyes instantly lit up like little light bulbs.

"Really?!"

"real."

"Then...can I order a family bucket?"

"Is one enough to eat?"

"Uh...no."

"Three?"

"I don't know, I have to try it to find out." Jiang Ning blinked her big eyes.

"Haha, okay, let's order three first, and order more if it's not enough."

"Hey bro, you're being so nice today, hehe!"

"I've always been like this, okay?"

Jiang Ning was so happy she was practically bubbling over. She wrapped one arm around Jiang Yu's waist and kept patting his back with the other.

"Go go go!"

The electric vehicle slowly drove onto the road and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.

Jiang Yu rode his bike with Jiang Ning's face pressed against his back on the back seat, occasionally giggling.

The sound of that laughter inexplicably improved one's mood.

Jiang Yu used to find rush hour particularly annoying.

Traffic jams, honking, cutting in line, crossing lane lines, not using turn signals...

Every evening rush hour is his most irritable time, filled with gender antagonism.

I don't know what's wrong with him today, but everything seems pleasing to him.

Even red lights and traffic jams seem pleasing to the eye...

He even found the female driver in the BMW who was playing on her phone and applying makeup while sitting in the driver's seat, and who didn't move even when the light was green for ages, pleasing to the eye.

This is probably what it's like after the knot in your heart is untied.

Suddenly everything became clear and beautiful.

Jiang Ning clung tightly to him, her nose constantly sniffing at Jiang Yu's body.

"Why are you standing so close to me?" Jiang Yu felt a little awkward because of her.

"I'm smelling it," Jiang Ning said in a muffled voice.

"what?"

"Brother, you smell like a woman."

"..."

"The taste of two women!"

Jiang Yu remembered that he had spent a lot of time in the car with Lin Wei and Nagi Hikari today.

Being in an enclosed space with two women, I might have picked up their scent on me?

"You have such a keen sense of smell! You can even tell the difference between two women?" Jiang Yu said in surprise.

"Of course! My nose is really good!" Jiang Ning said proudly, scratching her nose.

Jiang Yu smiled.

He suddenly remembered the "correct" conversation recorded in the dashcam.

Nagi asked him to test whether it was slip-resistant.

He pretended to scratch an itch, then tactically put his right hand under his nose...

It didn't have any strange smell.

He smelled his left hand again…

It has that vibe.

It's that fragrance that Nagi Hikaru carries.

Why the left hand?

Jiang Yu judged that he was sitting in the passenger seat at the time, and Nagi must have stretched out her right leg so that he could reach out and touch it.

He definitely touched it with his left hand.

pity…

He has no recollection of any of these things.

This is so unfair!

And those explosive topics he and Nagi discussed in the car…

How dare he do that!

He felt ashamed just looking at those words when they were put into writing.

The emperor has gone too far.

This is because my master has a bad memory, or rather, I don't want to argue with him.

If it were anyone else, he would be in jail by now.

"Brother, do you have many female colleagues at your workplace?" Jiang Ning asked from behind, her voice tinged with gossipy excitement.

"It's alright," Jiang Yu said absentmindedly.

Are they pretty?

"I didn't look at her face carefully."

"Oh, oh."

Jiang Ning responded thoughtfully, then leaned closer again with a cheeky grin.

"Are they in good shape?"

"Why would a little kid like you ask that?"

"Just curious..."

"I'm definitely a bit better than you."

"Pshaw, I can still grow up!"

……

While the two were chatting, the electric scooter arrived at the KFC near their home.

It was the same place he went to on the day he "had an episode".

It's rush hour now, with people leaving get off work and school, and the store is gradually getting full.

Through the glass window, you could see that quite a few people were already sitting inside.

There were also some primary school students wearing red scarves.

They gathered in small groups, with fries and cola on the table, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Yu asked Jiang Ning to save him a seat while he went to order food alone.

Jiang Ning's thoughts were complicated as she sat down.

Because my brother was so good today.

It's abnormally good.

First, he took the initiative to pick her up from school...

She had actually mentally prepared herself to walk home by herself that morning.

After all, my brother hasn't regained his memory, so we can't ask for too much.

As a result, when school ended, he was waiting at the school gate on his electric scooter.

This wave was completely unexpected for her.

Then there's KFC.

My brother, who's having an episode, is incredibly stingy. He looks like he's in pain just ordering a family bucket.

Today he ordered three family buckets, and they can refill them if he's not full.

This is completely unlike something a brother who hasn't regained his memory would do.

My brother's memory has indeed not returned.

She was certain of that.

Because when her brother asked her earlier, "Why did you come out alone after school?" his tone was clearly puzzled.

If his memory returns, he won't ask this kind of question.

Her brother knew she was always alone at school, and that she didn't get along with her classmates...

I know she has been isolated ever since she came out of the orphanage.

but…

If his brother hasn't regained his memory, why is he suddenly being so nice to him?

Jiang Ning couldn't help but think to herself, "Oh no, could this be our last meal?"

"Are you going to get rid of me after this meal?"
