Chapter 452 Shen Xiuli

How does it feel to wake up and find the person you love sleeping in your arms?

Bai Qiujing was stunned. His heartbeat went from steady to wild, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. When he opened his eyes, his hand was still on Shen Zhichu. The two of them were hugging each other tightly, and he could feel each other's warmth and breath.

Bai Qiujing's hands were so stiff that they stood straight, and for a moment he didn't know what movement to make. But he couldn't deny that his heart felt warm to the core, as if a can of warm sweetness had been injected into his mouth. He wished time would stop.

Shen Zhichu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, he moved his arms, raised his hands to his face, rubbed his eyes and woke up.

Bai Qiujing quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, he heard Shen Zhichu's voice.

"Get up as soon as you wake up."

Bai Qiujing opened his eyes and quickly said, "Chuchu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Did I do anything to you last night?"

"You get drunk with just one glass of wine, what do you want to do to me?" Shen Zhichucheng stood up and lifted the quilt. The clothes inside were the same as last night, but a little messy.

Bai Qiujing also quickly got up and opened his mouth behind her: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Do you know how much you can drink?" Shen Zhichu asked curiously.

Bai Qiujing nodded: "I know I can't drink much, and my agent also reminded me not to drink."

"You don't remember anything about what happened after you got drunk?"

Bai Qiujing cautiously asked, "What did I do?"

"It's nothing, just think about it yourself." Shen Zhichu turned and went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water was heard from inside.

Bai Qiujing scratched his head anxiously, found his phone, opened WeChat and saw that his agent had sent him a text message asking him not to drink, and he replied with "I'm home."

When did he reply to the text message?

The agent repeatedly reminded Bai Qiujing not to drink because he knew that he had a low alcohol tolerance. After getting drunk, he would stagger around and would not let anyone touch him. He would get angry at anyone who touched him, baring his teeth like a dog.

The first time he got drunk, his agent was next to him and wanted to help him back home, but he pushed him into a telephone pole and almost knocked out his teeth.

The agent wanted to come along last night, but Bai Qiujing didn't want him to go, so the agent could only call and text him to remind him not to drink.

Bai Qiujing sat on the bed with a frown on his face. Did he do something too much to Shen Zhichu?

He didn't recover until Shen Zhichu finished washing up and came out. He went to wash up and order breakfast listlessly.

It was not until dinner time that Shen Zhichu opened the candy jar, took out a candy, tore it open and put it in his mouth.

Bai Qiujing took a look and stammered, "This candy..."

"You gave it to me last night and forced me to eat it."

Bai Qiujing followed up by asking, "Is it delicious?"

Shen Zhichu hummed, then suddenly remembered something and smiled with his eyes as bright as the moon. "Not bad, right? You tasted it last night and said it was sweet."

Sugar is indeed sweet, but Bai Qiujing doesn't remember eating sugar last night.

Bai Qiujing caught sight of Shen Zhichu's teasing eyes, and his heart tightened. He felt that something big had happened last night. After dinner, he took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and secretly took out his mobile phone to turn on the surveillance camera.

From the moment he arrived at the entrance of Quanshui Bay and saw Chen Zhichu leading him into the house, just as he was about to fast forward this part, the finger on the fast forward button suddenly froze.

Just as the taxi was leaving, he saw another car coming from a distance and stopped outside the gate motionless. He couldn't see the person in the car. Bai Qiujing adjusted the video to the clearest setting and could only see the license plate number, which he had seen before.

——Li Jingshen

Bai Qiujing narrowed his eyes, and his usually gentle face suddenly turned cold. He never thought that Li Jingshen would be so shameless as to follow him here, and judging from his proficiency, this was probably not the first time.

Fortunately, he was with Shen Zhichu last night. If he wasn't there, a psychopath like Li Jingshen might have done something even crazier.

Bai Qiujing was furious but couldn't vent his anger. He made up his mind, turned off his phone, walked out of the bathroom, and suddenly said to Chen Zhichu, "Chuchu, come home with me for the New Year this year."

Shen Zhichu was stunned. She almost forgot that she hadn't had a good New Year for a long time. When Bai Qiujing mentioned it, she thought about it and counted the days on the calendar. There were only 19 days left until Christmas.

The film has been completed, and what remains is post-production and then publicity. There is not much to do normally.

"Can I really go?" Shen Zhichu asked.

"My mother keeps talking to me every day, asking me when I'm going to bring you home."

"Where is that going back to?"

The Bai family owns too many properties, including those in Chengdu, J City, and other places.

"Let's go back to Haidu. You're afraid of the cold, it's warm there, and I can take you to the beach."

"Okay, then before we go to Haidu, you and I will go to a place."

Chen Zhichu began to make plans. He would return to Haidu on December 23rd at the latest. There were still so many days to make arrangements slowly. Chen Zhichu went to Rongcheng to look at the house decoration.

The house has been decorated and now we are moving on to the furniture. Once the furniture is in place, we can move in after a month or two of vacancy.

Shen Zhichu did not forget her sunflower pot. The sunflower had already bloomed in the greenhouse. She raised her hand and touched the petals, gently as if she was touching Nian Nian.

After watering the plants, he left and went back to the company to process some documents and arrange work. Then he looked at the latest investment projects and injected some more money into them. Money makes money. From the original 800 million, it has now reached 900 million, and this is just the beginning.

The film production is going smoothly. Director Lin sends her the progress whenever he is free and asks her to review everything. At this rate, the production will be completed in March, leaving plenty of time for promotion and distribution.

Ever since she was kidnapped by Lu Tingchuan last time, Uncle Sun has been staying with her all the time and teaching her self-defense whenever he has time.

Only after learning that Bai Qiujing was coming to pick her up from get off work did Sun Li leave on her own accord.

Recently, Shen Zhichu has been staying at Bai Qiujing's place, packing the clothes and toiletries he needs to take with him and making plans.

On December 20, Shen Zhichu took Bai Qiujing to the cemetery and bought two bouquets of flowers as usual.

Bai Qiujing was a little nervous just going to the cemetery, so he bought paper money, incense, candles and two bunches of lilies outside the cemetery.

Every time I went to the cemetery, it was foggy. Shen Zhichu wiped the tombstone gently with a tissue: "Mom, I brought the person I like to see you. His name is Bai Qiujing..."

He is very good to me, really very good. He knows all my preferences, cares about me, takes care of me, and tries every way to make me happy. I am no longer the person who hides in the bathroom and cries secretly when I encounter grievances...

A "bang" sound behind her interrupted Shen Zhichu's thoughts. She turned her head and saw Bai Qiujing kneeling on the ground.

"Auntie, uncle, don't worry, I won't let Zhichu suffer any injustice. I will take good care of her and love her." After saying this, Bai Qiujing kowtowed three times on the ground with a sincere attitude.

Shen Zhichu wanted to laugh, but for some reason, a muffled sound came out of her mouth as soon as she opened it. She moved to Bai Qiujing and knelt down as well.

After a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go back."

Bai Qiujing said “hmm” and stood up, holding Shen Zhichu’s hand.

After walking three steps, Shen Zhichu suddenly looked back, as if she heard someone calling her from behind. She looked over and saw her mother's gentle smile on the tombstone.

She curled the corners of her lips, held Bai Qiujing's hand tightly and walked out of the cemetery.

Not long after they left, another car drove up. Shen Xiuli looked at the burnt paper money, incense and candles, as well as two bunches of lilies on the tombstone, and was stunned.

Who has been here?

Usually, only he and Qin Mo come to burn incense, but Qin Mo hasn't come back this year. So who is burning the incense? It can't be that someone burned it by mistake, right?

Something flashed through Shen Xiuli's mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it, so he simply went to the flower shop and paper money shop outside to ask.

The florist had a good impression of them: "It was a couple, tall and thin, with good figures. As for their appearance, I don't know. They were both wearing masks. They bought two bouquets of flowers and left."

"Thank you, boss." Without getting any clues, he returned to the store closest to the cemetery.

Then he asked, "Boss, have you ever seen a man and a woman buying incense, candles, and paper money from you?"

This time I asked the right person, and the boss replied, "Yes, that woman has been here more than once."

"More than once?"

"Yeah..." The boss was about to continue when he suddenly became alert and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I just saw two bouquets of flowers placed in front of my parents' tombstone and wanted to ask who had been there."

"Oh, I see. The girl doesn't look very old, probably in her early twenties. She came here once in June."

"Do you know her name?"

The boss shook his head. "I can't remember that, but that girl was incredibly pretty, like a celebrity. The last time she came, it was still raining. Not long after she left, I saw a luxury car pull up over there. I thought it was coming to pick her up, but a man got out and knelt in front of her. She left without even looking back. I think it must be a couple's quarrel."

"What about this time? I heard the florist say she brought a man."

"This man shouldn't be the same one from last time. Although I can't see his face clearly, I feel his aura is off."

Chen Xiuli asked both stores but found nothing. Just as he was about to leave, the store owner grabbed his head and suddenly remembered something and called him: "Wait, I think I remember the little girl's name. Last time, the man kneeling on the ground suddenly shouted "Spider". Yes, it's similar to this pronunciation. I have some impression of it."

"Spider?" Who would come up with such a name?

"Well, I'm hard of hearing and can't hear clearly."

"I see. Thank you, boss."

"It's just a small matter."

Shen Xiuli walked to the cemetery, where the tombstone was scraped. He squatted down and touched the lilies, thinking about the word "spider", repeating it over and over in his mind, and the more he read it, the more familiar it became.

Wait... Spider, Zhichu?

Could it be Zhichu?

Shen Xiuli stumbled and fell to the ground. "Shen Zhichu, isn't his sister dead?" This Christmas has been four years.
