Chapter 448 Can I Kiss You

Li Jingshen has been in a bad mental state since he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and his throat feels dry and itchy from time to time.

He picked up the water cup and took a big sip. His deep eyes stared unfocused at a certain place. His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed the water.

Putting down the water cup, Li Jingshen said in a cold voice: "Continue to keep an eye on Lu Tingchuan and report the situation at any time." He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to short the J City Li Group.

"Yes." Zhao Qian stood aside and waited patiently for Li Jingshen to sign. The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Li Jingshen looked up at him.

Zhao Qian took out his cell phone and looked at a new text message. He clicked on it and his face turned pale. He raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Li Jingshen, but was caught red-handed.

"Who texted you?"

Are you sure you want to say it?

As soon as Li Jingshen saw Zhao Qian's expression, he knew that the text message he received was related to him. The more he hesitated and couldn't say anything, the bigger the problem would be.

"Bring it here and let me see it."

Zhao Qian went over and handed the phone to Li Jingshen. But within two seconds, Li Jingshen tightened his grip on the phone.

The content of the text message was naturally not good. Zhao Qian had saved many people's numbers in his mobile phone, including Bai Qiujing's.

This text message was sent by Bai Qiujing. There wasn't much text in it, just a screenshot of a transaction on a second-hand platform. The product display picture was the bag that Shen Zhichu had signed for today.

What’s even more unethical is the text on the screenshot.

——My girlfriend is very moved by the fish, the price is 2.5 million, absolutely authentic, serious buyers only.

The 250 is marked in a conspicuous red color, which is full of provocation, as if it is meant to call someone an idiot.

The key point is that Bai Qiujing sold it on his own initiative and even took a screenshot and sent it to Zhao Qian's mobile phone.

Grab the bamboo shoots.

Li Jingshen frowned and kept looking at his phone without putting it down, which made Zhao Qian's scalp tingle, for fear that he would smash the phone in anger.

This kind of situation has happened before. Li Jingshen is naturally irritable, and at least ten mobile phones have been destroyed in his hands.

After reading it, Li Jingshen put his phone on the table, then continued to flip through the documents with a pen in his hand as if nothing had happened.

Li Jingshen has really changed, or rather, he has compromised on something.

Zhao Qian choked up and took out his cell phone with gritted teeth.

Li Jingshen signed the document very quickly. He put down his pen and collected the change into a folder. "Mr. Li, I'm going out now. Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

As soon as Zhao Qian left, Li Jingshen remained silent. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and found the second-hand platform. He searched the name and found that the bag had been resold.

I was filled with exhaustion, the feeling of powerlessness almost bursting out of my heart, and even my eyes had a kind of fatigue that was inexplicable.

Bai Qiujing did this just to show off to him. In the product photo, besides the bag, there was also a shadow on the ground. He liked Shen Zhichu and could even tell that the blurry shadow on the ground was her.

………………

On the other side, the vegetables Bai Qiujing bought online were delivered.

Shen Zhichu curiously went over to see what Bai Qiujing had bought. When he opened the carton, he saw a few hairy crabs.

"What are you buying hairy crabs for? If you want to eat them, you might as well go out. It's so troublesome to cook them at home." She reached out to poke at it, but before she could touch it, Bai Qiujing grabbed her wrist.

"It's still alive. Be careful not to pinch your hand."

"I'm tied up with ropes, so they can't pinch me." Shen Zhichu reminded.

Bai Qiujing was just too nervous about her, afraid that she would get hurt, so he wouldn't let her do anything.

"Buy some hairy crab buns with crab roe. You can have them for breakfast tomorrow morning." Bai Qiujing moved quickly, carrying the box back to the kitchen. "I'll knead the dough first."

The hairy crabs are steamed quickly and can be eaten as a side dish for dinner. After the dough is kneaded, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to rise. When the steamed hairy crabs are almost cold, start to peel them.

Shen Zhichu came over to help, but the crab shell was too hard and could easily scratch her hand, so Bai Qiujing didn't let her touch it at all.

"Just wrap the stuffing later. How's the script going?"

"About the same."

"Then let's rehearse our lines."

Shen Zhichu put the chair behind him and asked, "You haven't even read the script, why are you rehearsing the lines with me?"

"I've read the script a long time ago and can even recite it by heart. If you don't believe me, how about we try the first paragraph?"

The two of them sat together, and Bai Qiujing was multitasking. While reciting lines with Shen Zhichu with great emotion, he was also able to peel crab meat. His hands were so fast and skilled that you would think he was a professional at this. He took out the meat quickly and left the crab shells clean. He could even put the crab shells together completely after peeling the meat.

After rehearsing the lines for half an hour, the crabs were peeled.

Shen Zhichu looked at the big bowl of crab meat and crab roe, "Do you eat crabs often?"

"rare."

"Then how come you're so fast and skilled at peeling crabs?"

Bai Qiujing didn't know either. As far as he could remember, he had never cooked before, and the Bai family had plenty of servants and chefs, so there was no need for him to do housework. But as soon as he touched these things, his hands would move, he could cook well, and he became more and more skilled at doing housework.

"It's innate," Bai Qiujing joked. "Maybe I learned it in my dreams. I sometimes feel strange too. I've never done these things before, but as soon as I touch them I can..."

Bai Qiujing suddenly looked at Shen Zhichu seriously: "Chuchu, sometimes I wonder if you and I have met in the previous life. When I first saw you, I felt that you were very familiar and couldn't help but want to get closer to you."

There is the impulse of love at first sight and the familiarity of falling in love over time.

"Bai Qiu and I look so much alike. If I hadn't known that my mother only gave birth to me, I would have suspected that he and I were brothers. I even had a dream when I was in a car accident. I dreamed that he was with you."

Shen Zhichu asked casually: "What did you dream about?"

"You met him at the orphanage."

"So you went to the orphanage after the car accident that day?"

Bai Qiujing was silent for a while, and finally said "hmm".

When Shen Zhichu saw the photo, she guessed the whole process, but she didn't ask.

"It's not that I don't trust you." Bai Qiujing said hoarsely, "I just don't trust myself."

He lowered his head like a big dog that had made a mistake, afraid of being scolded by his owner.

"I don't like Li Jingshen. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask me directly. Don't keep it in your heart. I am your girlfriend, your person. You don't have to be afraid that I will leave you. I like you as a person, not your appearance. No matter what you look like, I will still like you. Do you understand?"

The mood that was originally just a slight ripple is now like a huge rock falling and causing a wave, or in other words, like the vibration of a falling meteorite passing through the dark night.

No one can guarantee how long a relationship can last, but as long as Bai Qiujing likes her and lives up to her, she will always like him. This is the decision made by Shen Zhichu.

Bai Qiujing seemed to know what Shen Zhichu was thinking. Not only would he feel uneasy, but this emotion would also be transmitted to Shen Zhichu.

Bai Qiujing reached out and hugged Shen Zhichu.

Shen Zhichu grabbed his clothes, buried his head in his arms and said in a muffled voice: "Qiu Jing, I'm also afraid that you will leave me."

She was afraid that Bai Qiujing would tell her about her past, afraid that Bai Qiujing was afraid that she had died, and now she was just a ghost occupying her body.

When she was taken away by Lu Tingchuan that day, she was afraid that Bai Qiujing would not come back to find her, and she was afraid that she would never see Bai Qiujing again.

Bai Qiujing grabbed Shen Zhichu's slightly cold hand. No one's words of fear had ever made him so flustered.

"Chu Chu, it hurts, right? Your past..."

Chen Zhichu returned and held Bai Qiujing's hand. She closed her sore eyes and felt a pang of pain in her chest. She couldn't control her tears just because of Bai Qiujing's words. She has always been strong. Even when she was bruised all over in the past, she gritted her teeth because she knew that the person she liked would not care about her or love her just because she felt pain.

When she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, she told Qin Mo that she was fine and asked him to scatter her ashes into the sea after her death.

When she was suffering from depression in the hospital, the psychologist asked her if she felt uncomfortable, and she replied that she did not.

In fact, she was really in pain. She was obviously afraid of pain, but in the end she got used to enduring it.

When stomach cancer attacks, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep due to the pain, I vomit blood from time to time, and I have no strength.

It is very painful when you suffer from depression during a miscarriage, as if the internal organs in your stomach are displaced and your spine is twisted.

When he was tortured by Lu Tingchuan and burned to death, the excruciating pain was unbearable to recall. The sound of flesh being torn apart made his soul tremble.

When she thought about this, she felt like she was in a nightmare, with her body shaking, which she couldn't control and couldn't control.

"It hurts, it really hurts..." But fortunately, she got through it all. She thanked God for giving her the chance to come back again so that she would not repeat the same mistakes. She should not experience the pain she has experienced a second time, as the second time would be shameful.

Bai Qiujing hugged the person in his arms tightly, and placed one hand on Shen Zhichu's head, rubbing it gently: "From now on, as long as I am here, I will not let you feel any pain."

He didn't dare to think about how much bullying the person he liked had suffered before he met Shen Zhichu. The orphanage director's words that Shen Zhichu burned to death in the fire at the age of 27 became his eternal pain.

He didn't ask about Shen Zhichu's past, not because he cared about her past, but because he felt distressed, and was even more afraid of accidentally opening Shen Zhichu's scarred wound.

Shen Zhichu has lost so many things in his life: children, friends, family, and loved ones...

Bai Qiujing couldn't imagine how much suffering and pain she had gone through, and how she had stumbled all the way here. He could only hug her tightly now to give her a sense of security.

Bai Qiujing stood up, holding Shen Zhichu's hand, his expression suddenly became serious, "Chuchu, can I kiss you?"

The man's gentle eyes seemed to be overflowing with tears, and his ears were very red.

Shen Zhichu stood up with the help of his strength, and the two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.

The two looked at each other, Bai Qiujing slowly bent down, and Shen Zhichu gently stood on tiptoe and hooked his neck...
