Chapter 551 This Year's Christmas

The old butler was reluctant to let Li Jingshen go. As he was a servant, it was not easy for him to force him to stay, so he just followed Li Jingshen and kept muttering to himself.

"You haven't rested much since you came back this time, why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer? The chefs here are all veteran chefs, and... New Year's Eve is coming in a few days..."

"Uncle He, I want to go back to Chengdu. I've already booked the plane ticket."

"This...this..." The old housekeeper sighed a few more times, knowing that Li Jingshen was definitely going to leave, so he could only remind him again and again, "Then you must take good care of yourself when you go back. I often hear you coughing and ask the family doctor to check you out, but you don't want to."

The old butler had difficulty walking and could only send people to the door. He stood next to Shen Zhichu as he watched Li Jingshen drive the car out.

"Miss Shen, you have to take care of yourself too. I'm not with the young master, so please take good care of him. He's an emotional person and easily makes mistakes. In fact, I can see that you don't like him, but his intention to keep you by his side is not bad. At least he won't hurt you, don't worry."

Shen Zhichu: "I will take good care of myself."

Seeing that Chen Zhichu only knew the first sentence, the old housekeeper sighed secretly.

At first, he thought that Li Jingshen was just using this person as a substitute, but this morning, when he heard from the servants that Li Jingshen took someone to the cemetery, he knew it was not that simple.

This was not only the first time that Li Jingshen brought people here, he also took them to the cemetery to see his deceased parents. It was obvious that he was sincere.

Although Li Jingshen has a rather cold personality, he is extremely persistent in relationships. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse to be liked by someone.

The old housekeeper felt that it was a blessing to be loved by Li Jingshen, and that meant love for a lifetime.

Li Jingshen's love may seem shallow, but it is not easy to ignore. It is long-lasting and not as dazzling as the sun, but it is like every star in the night, embellishing the dark night cloth.

Shen Zhichu knew that the old housekeeper wanted her and Li Jingshen to live a good life together.

However, belated awakening and apology are not worthy of forgiveness. No matter how much you repair a broken thing, there will always be cracks, and replacing it with an identical one will not be the original one. She and Li Jingshen will never be together.

After returning to Rongcheng, he took a bus directly to Bancheng. The things Li Jingshen had asked someone to prepare had been delivered. Christmas was coming soon, and he wanted to spend his last Christmas with Shen Zhichu. At least, it shouldn't be like the painful and desperate Christmas six years ago.

"Christmas is coming soon. Everyone else's house is bright and lively with red. At least ours doesn't look so deserted."

Li Jingshen bought a four-meter-tall Christmas tree. He had to hang the star on the top and also hold up the stairs.

Li Jingshen bought a lot of decorative ribbons and lanterns, as well as various decorations. Some of these things were the first time Shen Zhichu had seen them, and they were quite unusual.

Shen Zhichu didn't want to move. It was a festive holiday for others, but for her, spending Christmas with Li Jingshen was no different from spending her funeral.

That’s right…that day was indeed her death anniversary, so a funeral was reasonable.

Li Jingshen saw her impatience and said, "The Bai family has already been put on the right track. You don't want to see the Bai family in decline and no one cares about them anymore, right?"

"Li Jingshen, is threatening the only tactic you have?" Shen Zhichu was furious and a little irritated, and this irritation undoubtedly came from the man in front of him.

Li Jingshen lowered his eyes, so that no emotion could be seen in his eyes. His face showed no expression, except for the hand hanging by his thigh, which was shaking and trembling.

He said, "I don't want to threaten you, but this is the only way I can get you to pay attention to me."

"You said it as if I had wronged you. How could you be so shameless?"

Li Jingshen pursed his lips tightly, and casually grabbed a lantern with his hand. He looked quite pitiful and at a loss.

Shen Zhichu squatted down, picked up a bag at random, opened it, and poured out the contents. There was everything.

Li Jingshen looked at Shen Zhichu who was packing seriously, and raised the corner of his lips slightly. Shen Zhichu was responsible for the light things, and he was responsible for the heavy things. There were so many things, and they didn't hire anyone, so it would take only the two of them to do it. They would be busy until tomorrow.

Li Jingshen installed colorful lights on the Christmas tree and tested the electrical wires. They worked, but he couldn't see any effect from the lights during the day, so he had to wait until night.

Shen Zhichu sat on the carpet with an air gun, hitting the balloons one by one. When he closed the holes, his fingers turned red.

Li Jingshen walked over, holding another air gun. Although he was sick, he was still stronger than Shen Zhichu and could blow up the balloon very quickly.

Li Jingshen asked while playing, "Do you remember the year we got married?"

Shen Zhichu replied coldly: "I don't remember."

Li Jingshen paused and muttered to himself, "I do remember that our wedding room was right here. I remember that day, just like today, with all sorts of decorative items, most of which were balloons. They were all over the walls. After a while, the balloons either deflated or fell off, leaving only white glue on the walls that couldn't be wiped off. In the end, we had to hire a worker, and it took quite a while."
