See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 80
Chapter 80 - And Why Hasn’t The Little Fox Called Him “Husband” Yet…… Such a Bad Fox!
Ye Jiacheng died just as he was about to become a better Mr.Ye. He died on the highway as he was sending Shi Jian abroad.
Shi Jian had completed all the arrangements to go abroad. Ye Jiacheng still had a lot of follow up work to do for Ye Mao. He had cleaned up his business quickly and ruthlessly in accordance with his usual style. There was a big pile of both important and trivial matters to take care of. But Ye Jiacheng had always been a man who wasn’t afraid of work. He wasn’t afraid of being overwhelmed, and he wasn’t afraid of important business. This was a very good merit, yet it had made Mayor Ye’s head hurt for a time, because this kind of personality was also good at causing trouble, especially because his son was young and energetic.
If Mayor Ye knew that Ye Jiacheng had kept a lot of his teachings close to his heart these days, he would be gratified that his teachings were in everything he did. Recently, Ye Jiacheng’s temper was very good, especially compared to the past year. He was almost like a completely different person. He only needed to think of the little fox, and immediately he became calm and patient. His whole person was like a spring breeze that brushed over skin.
There was no need to worry. The little fox said that she would wait for him, that she only loved him.
Of course, these words were what Ye Jiacheng himself said. It compelled Shi Jian to nod. Then, they turned into words that Shi Jian said herself. Some forms of happiness were simply like this. It came with time. There were less plans and more selfish satisfaction, and it was perfect.
Just like how people existing in this world sometimes had less connection with each other, and were less tangled together.
The day before Shi Jian was going abroad, Ye Jiacheng even met with three members of the Yi family: Yi Pei, Yi Biya, as well as Yi Qindong, who was released a short time ago.
In the afternoon, Ye Jiacheng drove to the Yang household early. He waited for dinner.
Shi Jian’s auntie already extremely liked Ye Jiacheng. Of the eight dishes on the table, half of them were specifically prepared for Ye Jiacheng. It made Shi Jian a little jealous. Nini’s heart had also been collected by Ye Jiacheng…… But Yang Jiantao still hadn’t declared his stance yet. He planned to observe for a little longer before making his conclusion on whether Ye Jiacheng had evil intentions.
After all, Ye Jiacheng had a face that knew lies and deceit. He fluttered his eyelashes as he smiled. Yang Jiantao thought that Ye Jiacheng was using the way of the pretty man.
She was departing tomorrow. Shi Jian had doubled the amount of luggage packed. All of it was stuff that Ye Jiacheng bought. A certain someone thought it was troublesome, so Ye Jiacheng took responsibility for organizing it all. Finally, after he got it just about packed, Ye Jiacheng sat on the chair and looked at this person.
A pair of long legs stretched out lazily. They were very seductive.
Shi Jian’s face strangely went pink. She said: “Alright, Ye Jiacheng, you can go back now……”
Ye Jiacheng glanced at his watch, “It’s still early.”
The bedroom door had been closed for too long already. It really wasn’t suitable for it to be closed for too long. Auntie and Uncle were still downstairs. Shi Jian told Ye Jiacheng that staying there too long wasn’t good. Ye Jiacheng went to kiss her even more daringly.
Ye Jiacheng became more and more obnoxious. Shi Jian recalled his kiss with Yi Biya and fiercely glared at Ye Jiacheng. Ye Jiacheng really had been too obnoxious, He not only did not beg for forgiveness, he also made a false accusation: “That day clearly you let Yi Pei hold your hand first.”
Shi Jian: “……”
That day after she finished playing piano at Yi Pei’s house, indeed it was Yi Pei who came and escorted her down.
Afterwards, Shi Jian had become all unhurried and tipsy.
Shi Jian and Ye Jiacheng both lay on the white bed looking at the ceiling. The hand that Shi Jian had between them was covered. She turned her head. What was he doing?!
“……Wife,” Ye Jiacheng suddenly and shamelessly called her.
Wife…… What the fuck…… Shi Jian did not answer. As if she would answer to him. She was currently an unmarried woman and didn't want to be a married woman.
Ye Jiacheng called her “wife” and even wanted Shi Jian to call him “husband” a few times. He really wanted to hear it.
“Don’t……” Shi Jian didn’t want to fulfill Ye Jiacheng’s wishes. Ye Jiacheng was annoying. She asked Ye Jiacheng in her own way of feigning civility, “If you call me that now, what will you call me in the future?”
Alright, then he’ll call her that later…… Ye Jiacheng agreed. After a moment, Ye Jiacheng spoke again, “Little fox, after you go abroad, how about I go find you?”
Shi Jian thought Ye Jiacheng meant that he would occasionally come to see her so she nodded: “Okay.”
Ye Jiacheng smiled: “I’ve been busy recently, I’m sorry……” He couldn’t accompany her on her trip, otherwise he would definitely send her off to England and pay a visit to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Shi Jian turned and could help asking with concern: “Is it troublesome?”
“No, it’s all simple.” Ye Jiacheng suddenly thought of the fact that Shi Jian still hadn’t forgiven him. He gathered his courage and asked, “Little fox, have you forgiven me yet?”
Shi Jian turned away and was unwilling to acknowledge him…… She didn’t forgive him? She was even lying on the same bed as him in the face of the risk of her family members questioning them.

Shi Jian and Ye Jiacheng went downstairs. The two walked through the front door of the Yang household together. Then, Shi Jian stood on the stone steps. Ye Jiacheng went down the steps with sadness at having to part, one by one. The two bright lights in front of the steps stretched Ye Jiacheng’s shadow out, as if they were keeping him from leaving.
Indeed, he couldn’t bear it…… Ye Jiacheng turned back, wanting one more thing. Before he could speak, as if by a connection that only lovers had, Shi Jian had already pressed a brief kiss on Ye Jiacheng’s left cheek, then the right cheek. Then she started, “Leave quickly. Be careful on the road.”
Ye Jiacheng immediately became overjoyed. He learned from Shi Jian and also quickly kissed her left and right cheek, “Little fox, see you tomorrow.”
Kissing on the cheeks was a little secret that Ye Jiacheng didn’t know yet. Shi Jian planned to tell him this secret before she boarded the plane tomorrow. She had long already forgiven this scoundrel, so he didn’t need to continue asking her whether she had forgiven him or not in the future.
It seemed like she was being petty.
……
In this world, there existed too many words left unsaid, too many things left undone, and feelings that couldn’t be reciprocated.
The next day, Shi Jian went to the airport, and Ye Jiacheng sent her off.
Before they left, Ye Jiacheng had even secretly tucked a card into Shi Jian’s rice colored wallet in her backpack. It was a card that he had specifically made. The little fox was his “wife” that he’d met ahead of time. He came to raise her rightly and properly.
Halfway through their journey, Shi Jian peeled a tangerine and Ye Jiacheng was driving. She held a section of the fruit to Ye Jiacheng’s lips, just like how she used to feed him. This action was very familiar and intimate.
In the night, the weather was bad. It had rained heavily. The windshield wipers were moving rapidly. Shi Jian finished feeding Ye Jiacheng. She even picked up Ye Jiacheng’s cellphone and changed his home screen into a photo of herself.
The road was slippery from the rain. They had to drive carefully.
Ye Jiacheng controlled the speed of the vehicle very well. He drove very steadily. Really, extremely steadily.
He was still driving this annoying car. It had a V12 motor engine, 600 horsepower, and even had a 6 speed manual transmission. It could achieve a torque of 80 kgm…… That day, after the little fox said that this car was repulsive, he had wanted to swap cars to one that the little fox liked.
……Repulsive car, this car was repulsive in this way. In the end, when the accident occurred, Ye Jiacheng even thanked this car, because it had saved his little fox.
On the death certificate, Ye Jiacheng nearly died on the spot in the accident.
Nearly. There was still a few minutes discrepancy. Ye Jiacheng was still awake for those few minutes, as if the heavens were giving him one last bit of time.
A final bit of mercy.
The rain was pouring in the night. It eroded the contorted shape of the front of the car. The glass of the windows had shattered violently. Rainwater poured in. It diluted the smell of the blood, and pressed down upon Ye Jiacheng’s airways as before.
Then, the rainwater was laced with blood, and his blood was mixed with rainwater. He couldn’t tell them apart.
Ye Jiacheng’s lungs quickly started to strain. It was difficult to breathe. There was a serious wound to his chest. He was losing blood too quickly. He had no strength left.
At the same time, he was unable to stay clear-headed.
Ye Jiacheng had always been a smart person ever since he was small. He could always face all kinds of things with a clear head, regardless of whether it was a person or a situation. He always could maintain his calm cool-headedness. At this moment, he was aware of what he was about to face.
He felt clearly the despair of death pressing closer, as well as the fear.
The despair was too intense. Ye Jiacheng was panicked. He opened his eyes wide and the first thing he did was look towards the little fox beside him. He examined her situation. Good thing her injuries probably weren’t too serious.
Why would this kind of “accident” happen? Ye Jiacheng already had no more time to investigate this question. Fury? Remorse? Being unresigned? Or was he being made fun of……? These emotions became completely insignificant. He only felt fear.
Ye Jiacheng was used to being fearless ever since he was a child. Right now, he was really afraid, full of unprecedented fear.
The little fox had already forgiven him; he was going to live a happy life together with her.
He still had many things he hadn’t done. He hadn’t yet become a better son, a better Mr.Ye. He hadn’t yet married the little fox and brought her home, hadn’t yet brought the little fox traveling all over the world, in the sky or below the sea…… He hadn’t even sent the little fox safely to the airport yet.
Shi Jian was called awake by Ye Jiacheng. She was sandwiched by the airbag and couldn’t move.
Ye Jiacheng watched as Shi Jian’s tears flowed frantically. She seemed to be looking for something. Was she looking for her phone so that she could call the ambulance? Ye Jiacheng continued watching Shi Jian, yet he said, “Shi Jian, don’t move……”
Shi Jian was sobbing, calling his name. Jiacheng, Jiacheng. She was asking him how he was doing. How was he doing?
Ye Jiacheng had no way to reply. He wasn’t doing well.
The little fox was worried about him…… He was more worried about her, about her future. Ye Jiacheng was very worried about her. The little fox was so dumb. She had come back specifically to look for him, but he was about to leave her. What was she going to do in the future?
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine……” Ye Jiacheng was quickly about to be unable to speak. Unexpectedly, the pain wasn’t intense. His sober consciousness was also slowly leaving him, ruthlessly.
He was powerless to rebel.
The first sentence of what Ye Jiacheng said next: “……Shi Jian, remember to go abroad.” He had no way to protect her anymore.
The second sentence was accidentally the same as what he said when they broke up last year. Ye Jiacheng spoke in a stutter. Shi Jian probably could understand him: “Don’t wait…… find a better……” A better Mr.Ye really had no way of returning now, so she didn’t need to wait anymore.
The third sentence: “Shi Jian, tell my parents…… to adopt a little sister for me……” Their son still let them down. Raising a daughter would cause them less trouble.
How Ye Jiacheng wished that he believed in some kind of religion. He would pray to the heavens to give him a few more minutes. He couldn’t thank them enough.
Ye Jiacheng still uttered one last sentence. It was a request: “Little fox, call me husband one time……?”
Forgive his selfishness. He still wanted to fulfil his dreams at a time like this. People lived for dreams; if only they could also die in their dreams.
In the end, he never heard the call of “husband”. Ye Jiacheng had already shut his eyes with strenuous effort. How he wished that everything was just a dream…… He was so envious of when he jumped off a building last year. He could still lightly joke about it then. How nice.
And why hasn’t the little fox called him “husband” yet…… Such a bad fox!
One last teardrop fell from Ye Jiacheng’s closed eyes. Maybe if he called her little fox one more time…… He was powerless.
He couldn’t even call her “little fox” one last time.
“No……” No! Shi Jian cried out uncontrollably. She didn’t want to call Ye Jiacheng husband right now. She still had to marry him again. She still had to wait for him to call her “big baby” every day. Shi Jian cried in pain. Her tears flowed bitterly. She watched Ye jiacheng slowly close his eyes. She nearly shouted in despair, “Husband……”
Shi Jian struggled without fear of danger. She grabbed onto Ye Jiacheng and shouted over and over: “Husband…… Jiacheng…… Jiacheng…… Husband, husband……”
Ye Jiacheng’s eyelids suddenly twitched once, as if a miracle had appeared. It was very light, and just once. Then, everything was completely still.
Shi Jian didn’t know how much time passed. The outside became more and more clamorous. Only, the ambulance still hadn’t arrived…… In the end, Shi Jian looked at Ye Jiacheng unmovingly. She was speechless from despair. She looked at Ye Jiacheng’s still and slender eyebrows, his long and delicate eyelashes, his high nose bridge…… She started making indistinct sounds again, like a mosquito, as she continued to call out to her husband.
She already lost count of how many times she’d called out to him. He still wasn’t awake.
She couldn’t call Ye Jiacheng awake. She would forever be unable to call him awake. She couldn’t even tell Ye Jiacheng the little secret about kissing on the cheeks.
The left cheek meant forgiveness, and the right cheek meant that the other was loved even more than yesterday. She really wasn’t angry at him at all. She loved him very much, and she would only love him more and more in the future.
Jiacheng, don’t leave her…… Don’t leave her. Don’t leave her like this.
I’m begging you.
……
She would rather not appear in this life at all, and not disturb him.
What did she know?
Shi Jian knew everything. Time knew everything…… Shi Jian felt as if she had sunk into an endless abyss. When the plane crashed, she woke from her previous frightening abyss, because she had to wake up to find her lover.
Right now, how she wished she could return to that endless abyss and never wake again.
Seriously, she didn’t want to wake up ever again……
