Chapter 377 I Want to Go Find You
Jiang Xingni never expected to hear that name again.
Hearing the name of a former friend from a stranger.
"...What is the relationship between him and Nian—Xu Niannian?" Jiang Xingni didn't admit it, but subconsciously asked back.
However, that one word, "念念" (niànniàn), completely revealed the true nature of the matter.
Song Juexiao felt a mix of bitterness and helplessness—if she had met Jiang Xingni earlier, like Xu Niannian, she would probably be the one Jiang Xingni remembers now.
It's a pity that she met Jiang Xingni too late; they both met Jiang Xingni far too late.
Moreover, following this line of thought, the person who should feel the most regret is clearly Xiao Jiming.
They had never had the opportunity to interact with, get to know, or even meet Jiang Xingni before.
But Xiao Jiming really is one of them. Whether it's growing up in the same place since childhood or attending the same high school, he is a true example of this.
Xiao Jiming had the opportunity to meet him much earlier, but he simply didn't have that kind of luck.
Song Juexiao was initially annoyed by his bad luck, but then he thought of Xiao Jiming, and suddenly he felt more at peace.
People need comparisons to maintain a good mindset.
"She thought you were dead," Song Juexiao said simply.
When Xu Niannian called Jiang Xingni, Lu Ming answered the phone and gave her a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
When Song Juexiao found out about this, the girl, who considered herself Lu Ming's guardian, was in a real bind. In the end, she forced Lu Ming to apologize to Xu Niannian.
Back then, Lu Ming apologized verbally, but he still didn't understand what he had done wrong.
Fortunately, under Song Juexiao's tutelage, Lu Ming has finally managed to become somewhat more anthropomorphic.
"?" Jiang Xingni was puzzled. "What did I do before I lost my memory?"
She thought to herself that she was just an ordinary person now. If she were a superhuman, it was impossible for her superpowers to disappear along with her amnesia, right?
Jiang Xingni first ruled out the possibility that he was a superhuman.
For the first time in a long time, Jiang Xingni felt a little curious about her memories before she lost her memory.
She thought that she and Xu Niannian just didn't have much to talk about anymore. Many of her high school friends drifted apart because they went to college and were too far apart in terms of time and space.
Jiang Xingni didn't have any opinion on this. After all, people coming and going along the way was a common occurrence. But no matter what, this guess couldn't be so outrageous that Xu Niannian would think she was dead, right?
"Do you hire ordinary minors to do this kind of high-risk work?" Jiang Xingni himself was very skeptical.
Song Juexiao smiled helplessly. Apart from smiling, she didn't know how else she should react.
Upon hearing this, the system secretly thought to itself, "Actually, it was you who shamelessly clung to the main characters."
What if a child laborer insists on being employed?
Song Juexiao decided to change the subject: "If you still remember her, perhaps you could give her a call and let her know you're safe?"
Song Juexiao looked at Jiang Xingni and said softly, "She has always missed you. Contacting her shouldn't be a burden for you."
She has always missed you.
We've always missed you.
But after you forget us, we're just strangers to you. And feelings from strangers, no matter how deep, are a burden.
She didn't know if Jiang Xingni could understand the implication of her words, nor did she know whether she wanted Jiang Xingni to hear what she was implying when she said those words.
"Let's contact them." Jiang Xing glanced at today's lessons.
Today is unusually quiet with few classes. The morning session ended at 8 AM, and there are no classes for the rest of the day.
"I'm here to find her." Jiang Xingni stopped Song Juexiao as she took out her phone.
She didn't want anyone else to act as a middleman. After such a long period of contact, wouldn't it be more sincere for the person in question to speak for themselves?
Jiang Xingni dialed the number, but the call was disconnected after ringing twice.
Jiang Xingni: ?
She looked up blankly and met Song Juexiao's gaze.
Song Juexiao couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Xingni refused to believe it and dialed Xu Niannian's number again. This time, the message was: "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Jiang Xingni: ...
I've been blocked.
"...I suddenly want to know what I've forgotten." Jiang Xing looked at him suspiciously.
Was she really that disliked? Xu Niannian didn't even want to answer her calls, and the second time she blocked her.
Jiang Xingni suddenly felt a little sad, then switched to WeChat and continued to persistently send video call invitations to Xu Niannian.
This time, Xu Niannian finally got through.
The moment the call connected, along with Xu Niannian's face appearing on the screen, came her furious cursing.
"Lu Ming, are you sick? I'm in class and you keep making calls using Jiang Xingni's number? Why did you end up with Jiang Xingni's phone number in the first place? I really don't understand..." A string of curses and swears was cleared the moment Xu Niannian lowered her head and looked at her phone screen.
She couldn't remember who she had just cursed, nor could she remember what she wanted to say next. All Xu Niannian could hear was her heart pounding wildly in her chest.
Within seconds, tears blurred Xu Niannian's vision. She hurriedly wiped away her tears, wanting to see Jiang Xingni more clearly.
"It doesn't look like it." That was the first thing she said.
"Is this some kind of high-tech stuff? Although..." Even after careful examination, she couldn't find any difference between this replica and the real Jiang Xingni. "It just doesn't look like him. Have you all gone crazy for Jiang Xingni?"
"She wouldn't just stand there watching me cry like this," Xu Niannian said, choking back tears. "Alright, Lu Ming? Song Juexiao? Who's on the other end of the phone? Don't kid me, what is this? A clone? A cyborg? Artificial intelligence? A humanoid engineer?"
Jiang Xingni laughed in exasperation at the last guess: "It's the real person, no doubt about it."
She tilted her head towards the little girl on the other end of the phone, who was crying her eyes out, and smiled broadly: "Niannian, I'm here, I'm back."
"Niannian, don't cry, I'm here."
Xu Niannian took a deep breath.
She still couldn't believe that someone who had already died could possibly have a chance to come back, but she wanted to see Jiang Xingni with her own eyes, instead of just looking at Jiang Xingni's face through a screen like this.
"Where are you?" Xu Niannian asked. "I want to come find you."
