Chapter 558: You and I will never see each other again, but we will always be safe

"We in the Bai family don't want anything except Shen Zhichu."

Li Jingshen questioned: "Even if the Bai family goes bankrupt, even if she has nothing, even if she endangers your son's life from time to time? Do you still want her?"

Bai's mother replied: "To Qiu Jing, Zhichu is his life, so losing her is no different from losing his life. They like each other. Jing Shen, loving someone does not necessarily mean keeping her by your side. Seeing her happy is the most important thing."

Li Jingshen said, "Aunt, do you still remember what Grandpa taught me? People who value feelings are useless. The Li family should put profit first, and cold-bloodedness is their protection."

Bai's mother's mouth was bitter. "How many people in the Li family died because of his words? Over the years, they have killed each other and brothers for profit. I think it is a sad thing to be stained by the blood of the Li family, but not everyone who has been stained by the blood of the Li family is like this. Leaving the Li family can change things."

Li Jingshen looked at the figure in front of him blurry, his eyes were entangled with fine red bloodshot. He tried hard to open his sore eyes, but no matter how hard he opened them, the figure in front of him was always a double image. He stretched out his hand, the cold night wind passed through his palm, and his fingertips seemed to be pricked by needles. He couldn't help trembling. The sound of fireworks blooming in the sky covered up his choked breathing.

He wondered if he had left the Li family earlier and not thought about revenge, would he not be so cold-blooded and selfish? Would the current outcome be different? Would Shen Zhichu still be by his side?

They can watch fireworks this winter, eat apples together on Christmas Eve, make wishes under the Christmas tree on Christmas, make dumplings together on New Year's Eve, and curl up on the sofa together on Spring Festival to watch the Spring Festival Gala and countdown together. They will say Happy New Year to each other as soon as possible. He will also knit a scarf and braid her hair...

If only he had understood earlier... understood earlier... understood... Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

There is a saying that goes, people always like to pursue the best choice, but the consequences of pursuing the best choice are often counterproductive.

"Chen Zhichu!" Li Jingshen roared with a mouthful of blood, but he was unaware of the blood in his mouth. Blood kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his chest was in excruciating pain.

He had clearly told Chen Zhichu not to look back when he pushed her away, but now he really wanted her to look back at him, even if it was just one last time.

He longed so much in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He coughed muffledly, his body shrank uncontrollably, and finally he knelt on the ground under the heavy burden. He covered his heart and looked at the warmth on the back of his hand. It was too dark and his vision was too blurry. He couldn't tell whether it was blood or tears falling on the back of his hand.

He covered his heart, raised his head and looked at Shen Zhichu, muttering incoherently: "Shen Zhichu, look back at me... look at me... Shen Zhichu... Zhichu... I have done so many bad things to you in this life, I won't ask you to forgive me, but there is a next life... I met you in advance, I will definitely treat you well..." He knew that Shen Zhichu might be tired of hearing it, but he still wanted to say it. There are things that cannot be completed in this life, so he can only hope for a next life.

Shen Zhichu paused for a moment, said something, then lifted her skirt and walked forward. She did not look back, and her walk was so resolute.

In fact, up to now, Li Jingshen was already very satisfied. At least Shen Zhichu accompanied him for a while in his last days, at least she wore that wedding dress, at least he made a ring that fit her finger size, although she had never worn it.

Chen Zhichu, thank you for saving my life back then, thank you for making me understand what it feels like to be loved and favored, thank you for satisfying my last greed, thank you for making my life more than just hatred.

It is really not easy to come to this world. People are in darkness so the light appears particularly dazzling.

…

When Shen Zhichu "can't walk", Bai Qiujing will walk towards her without hesitation.

Just like what he once said, no matter where, when, where or under what circumstances, as long as Shen Zhichu walked towards him, he would definitely welcome him with open arms.

It doesn't matter if you can't walk. Life has a hundred steps. Shen Zhichu only needs to take one step and he will take the remaining 99 steps.

"Are you cold walking barefoot?" This was the first sentence Bai Qiujing said. He lowered his head and looked gently at her feet that were hidden by the hem of her skirt.

Shen Zhichu shook his head and couldn't help laughing: "How do you know I'm barefoot?"

Bai Qiujing replied, "I know everything about you, including your height." So he could tell at a glance whether Shen Zhichu was wearing shoes or not.

Hearing the voice, Shen Zhichu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at Bai Qiujing steadily without saying a word.

Until Bai Qiujing reached out and held her trembling, cold hand.

Shen Zhichu held it back, her nose red, and she choked and said, "I almost thought you were hallucinating."

Bai Qiujing's chest tightened, and his eyes were raw. "You can confirm with me again and again to see if I'm hallucinating."

"sorry."

Bai Qiujing had lost weight, a lot. Even though he was wearing such thick clothes, he still looked very thin, as if he was about to be drowned in the dark cold wind.

His palm, always warm, was not much warmer than hers at this moment.

Being so close, Shen Zhichu could almost see the red bloodshot in her eyes and her lips that were dry and chapped. His breathing was trembling and he held her hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear.

Not only was Shen Zhichu afraid that Bai Qiujing was an illusion, Bai Qiujing was equally afraid.

When Bai Qiujing heard Shen Zhichu say the three words "I'm sorry", an indescribable pain came over him. A fierce collision and blood and energy controlled his mind. For a moment he felt dizzy and everything he saw was spinning.

Bai Qiujing tried hard to steady himself, wondering why Shen Zhichu said "sorry" to him. Did she want to leave him?

He held Shen Zhichu's hand tightly, but his strength was a little softer than before, probably because he was afraid of hurting her.

Shen Zhichu suddenly hugged him: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without saying anything, I'm sorry I shouldn't have signed the divorce agreement, I'm sorry I shouldn't have turned off my phone so you couldn't find me."

Bai Qiujing said, "You've never done anything wrong to me. It was just that I found you too late."

It’s been less than a month, but it feels like years.

She should have relied on him instead of thinking about taking on the responsibility alone. It was something that two people could share and solve together. Why did she leave without telling him anything?

She always thought that since the matter was caused by her, she should solve it herself. She was afraid of ruining the Bai family and him.

But things are often not what she thinks, and her departure will bring even more pain to Bai Qiujing.

What she thinks is good is not good at all to those who love her.

Looking at it from another angle, if Bai Qiujing left for her without saying goodbye, she would also get sick.

Fortunately, he never doubted her and always believed that they fulfilled their promise and went home together.

It was a cold and windy winter day, and all around were the colorful lights and balloons that had been arranged in the past few days. The sound of fireworks could be heard, and the fireworks in the sky kept blooming, as fast as a moment of life, short but beautiful.

It turns out... everything Li Jingshen did these days was to let her go, and the words asking her to leave were not just talk.

Li Jingshen finally kept his word.

The sound of the fireworks exploding was very loud, and along with Li Jingshen's voice behind him, it reached my ears, like an auditory hallucination.

Li Jingshen is a man who is both ruthless and affectionate. If he falls in love with someone, he will pamper that person in his heart and would like to give the whole world to her. As long as his sweetheart is used to it, he will do his best to give it to her.

Shen Zhichu didn't believe that the prodigal son would return. If he really did, she wouldn't be the one to turn back.

Once you miss some people, it's a lifetime. If you don't love them anymore, you don't love them anymore. No matter how much you do or how well you say, you no longer love them.

She and Li Jingshen made the same mistake, both recognized the wrong person, both fell into the abyss and waited to be rescued by others, and once someone reached out a hand, they would hold on tightly.

She held Bai Qiujing's hand back, and the two of them walked towards the car. With the light of the fireworks in the sky, they could see everything on the ground clearly.

"Chen Zhichu!" At this moment, Li Jingshen's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind, "Chen Zhichu, can you look back at me... If I meet you earlier in my next life..."

Shen Zhichu paused, she didn't look back, she just raised her head slightly and looked at the fireworks in the sky.

If we cannot do something in this life, we will think about it in the next life, just like people always expect to complete today's things tomorrow, but they keep procrastinating and never complete them. The difference is that we can still see it tomorrow, but not necessarily in the next life.

"Maybe you said the same thing to me in your past life." Shen Zhichu said softly. She tilted her head back, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Li Jingshen, I wish you a safe and sound life, with warm sunshine in winter and a cool breeze in summer, a bright future, no illness or disaster, meeting a good person, and growing old together... From now on, we will never see each other again and we will be in peace forever."
