Chapter 270: Remembered
The cap wasn’t purchased, but obtained overseas, when Cheng Yan used to participate in racing competitions to earn money. Occasionally, some races would distribute these types of merchandise to the contestants, better ones would give racing suits, and many would hand out caps like this or canvas bags.
Usually, the competition’s LOGO would be printed on them. Although they weren’t worth much, these items were typically not available for purchase.
The cap that Bo Jingshen briefly glimpsed inside that car was such a race merchandise cap, and moreover, that competition had already been discontinued several years earlier.
This cap had also become a discontinued model, by rights, there shouldn’t be many in the country.
Bo Jingshen remembered he owned one, but for the moment, he couldn’t recall where he had put his cap.
And the one that man wore looked strikingly familiar.
So familiar that it seemed like it was his own cap, and perhaps forming an illusion, even the missing piece in the upper right corner of the printed LOGO seemed identical.
Bo Jingshen sat in the backseat, lost in thought, and remained silent.
Jiang Li rambled on about various things beside him, which Bo Jingshen hardly listened to, so he didn’t even know what Jiang Li was actually talking about. But having someone talk incessantly beside him provided a grounding feeling.
The very real feeling of being in the world outside the walls.
It temporarily eased his worry that this might be a dreamy illusion, and that upon waking up, everything around him would remain unchanged, still confined within the cramped space of the prison cell, the large shared sleeping area, the uniformly issued personal effects making life’s purpose seem lost in the monotonous repetition.
