Chapter 560 I will wait for you, I will always wait for you

When Bai Qiujing knew that Shen Zhichu was not wearing shoes, he picked her up and carried her all the way to the car. He was still sick and walked unsteadily, but the hands holding Shen Zhichu were always so strong and tight, just like when he carried her back when she was a child.

When they got in the car, the driver drove and Bai Qiujing fell asleep while holding Shen Zhichu.

At first Shen Zhichu was shocked.

Bai's mother made a gesture to keep quiet, reminding Shen Zhichu not to disturb him.

After hearing Bai Qiujing's steady breathing, Shen Zhichu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The lights in the car were dim. Shen Zhichu turned her head to look at Bai Qiujing's pale face. She reached out and touched his thin jaw, which was a little cold.

Bai Qiujing fell asleep and Shen Zhichu didn't dare to move. He found a comfortable position and reached out to hug him so that he could sleep more comfortably and not get a stiff neck.

The car gradually stabilized after reaching the main road. Bai's mother was sitting in the front. She looked back at Shen Zhichu and saw that the two of them were close together.

"Qiu Jing hasn't had a good sleep for a long time." After Shen Zhichu disappeared, Bai Qiu Jing just wanted to find him quickly. He ran around outside and did everything in person. He had been infected with a virus and had a major blood transfusion before, and his body had not recovered to normal. Later, when the Bai family was in danger, he mustered up the courage to work alone. Staying up late to work overtime became the norm, and he often forgot to eat. Because of the abnormal work and rest schedule, he eventually developed acute gastroenteritis and was admitted to the emergency room.

Even with a needle in his arm and an IV drip, he still wanted to run out. Bai's mother couldn't bear to see him tormenting his body like this, so she had no choice but to resort to this last resort. She tied him up at home and forced him to take medicine and injections. If he didn't sleep, she gave him sleeping pills, and if he struggled, she gave him an injection.

"Originally... I should have found you earlier. It was because of me that Qiu Jing was tied up at home."

That day she went to see Li Jingshen and proposed to exchange all the Bai family's property for Shen Zhichu. Li Jingshen did not agree. He said to give him a week, and after Christmas Eve he would send Shen Zhichu back safely. If they did not believe him, they could come here to pick him up then.

Bai's mother didn't dare to completely believe Li Jingshen, nor did she dare to refute him, for fear of making him unhappy and regretful. In the end, the two sides reached an agreement. When the time came, Li Jingshen would send the detailed address and time, and they would come to pick up Shen Zhichu at that time.

Bai's mother knew in advance that she could pick up Shen Zhichu today, but Bai Qiujing didn't know.

He didn't believe Bai's mother, and he didn't believe that Li Jingshen could let Shen Zhichu leave so easily. He wanted to find Shen Zhichu in person, but was locked in the bedroom and tied to the bed with a rope.

During those days when the body was blown away, it wasn't physically painful. I had food and water, and as long as I didn't struggle, I wouldn't consume too much energy.

But when he thought that Shen Zhichu might encounter unknown dangers and lose her, he felt severe pain all over his body and his heart was broken, as if his body was full of invisible needles, which were bleeding profusely and he wished he could pull them out one by one with his teeth.

At that moment, Bai Qiujing realized that Shen Zhichu's departure had brought him such fear that it would not be an exaggeration to say that life was worse than death.

Along the way, Bai's mother whispered a lot to Shen Zhichu.

Chen Zhichu's nose felt sore, and his heart felt empty and suffocating. As Bai's mother spoke one word after another, it entered his ears and fell into his heart like pieces of stone, gradually piling up and filling his entire heart.

In the past, Shen Zhichu felt that people lived for too long, and a lifetime was an unimaginable number. But if there was a Bai Qiujing in that lifetime, no matter how long it was, it would feel short.

A lot has changed in three months. The Bai family, which has experienced the financial crisis, is no longer the same Bai family. Bai's father collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. Although he is not in danger, his legs and feet have become unsteady, and he can only sit in a wheelchair and be pushed.

Bai Wanwan, who used to always circle around Shen Zhichu with a smile on her face, calling her "Sister Chu" more and more sweetly. But now, that innocent smile has disappeared from her face. She closed her online store and started learning how to manage a company to share the pressure with her family.

Bai's mother seemed to have not changed much and was as gentle as before, but if you looked closely you could see that the wrinkles on her face had deepened and she had a few white hairs.

Now that Bai's operations have resumed, capital has increased and the stock price has risen.

But the previous losses and energy consumed can never be made up.

The culprit was Li Jingshen, so how could he not blame him? After all, no one was a saint. He had done nothing wrong and was bitten for no reason.

Bai's mother didn't care because Li Jingshen was her nephew and her relative in this world.

She is also responsible for Li Jingshen becoming like this. If she had given him a little help and care in the Li family, perhaps he would not have become so extreme.

Bai's mother felt guilty towards him and wanted to make it up to him, but now the aunt and nephew can never go back to the way they were before.

I just hope that from now on Li Jingshen can be well and let go of his obsession, just like what Shen Zhichu said when he left.

Arriving at Quanshui Bay, the car slowly stopped and Shen Zhichu got out. Facing the Bai family, she felt uneasy and didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Bai Wanwan suddenly rushed over and hugged her.

"Sister Chu, you look so beautiful today. Are you okay these days? Are you hurt? Did he bully you? Why do I feel like you seem to have lost weight when I hold you in my arms?" Bai Wanwan used her way to comfort Shen Zhichu and disrupt her inner uneasiness.

"I..." Shen Zhichu looked at Father Bai sitting in the wheelchair helplessly. He had difficulty walking but came to pick her up so late in the cold weather.

Receiving Shen Zhichu's gaze, Father Bai smiled and said, "You've lost weight. Ask your mother to make more hot soup for you to nourish you."

With just one look from Shen Zhichu, Father Bai knew what she was going to say: "I'm glad you came back safely. It's cold outside. Go back and rest with Qiu Jing."

Bai's mother: "Yes, go back."

Bai Qiujing was still lying in the car. He originally wanted to ask the driver to carry him down and send him to the room, but he woke up as soon as he was touched. It seemed to be a conditioned reflex. The first thing he did when he woke up was to call "Chen Zhichu's" name. He only breathed a sigh of relief after finding her.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Bai Qiujing got out of the car and held Shen Zhichu's hand.

"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bear it."

"Be sure to wake me up next time." Bai Qiujing held Shen Zhichu's hand tightly, his eyes deep and suppressed. He wanted to say something to Shen Zhichu, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a piece of cotton and he couldn't say anything. His lips had lost their original color and turned a little lotus green.

He didn't say anything, but Shen Zhichu understood what he was thinking. He was worried and afraid that she would disappear again and leave without saying goodbye.

No one in the family saw each other off, and they all went back home. They were in the same city, under the same sky, experiencing the same winter, and only 20 to 30 kilometers apart, but it seemed to be warmer here.

After Shen Zhichu returned, she took off her wedding dress. Without looking at it any further, she made a phone call and asked someone to send the wedding dress back to Li Jingshen early the next morning.

Shen Zhichu saw that Bai Qiujing looked unwell and was a little worried. He wanted to call a doctor to check him out, or have him take some medicine and go to bed to rest.

Bai Qiujing asked Shen Zhichu not to worry about him: "It has been like this for the past few days. Now that you are back, my body will not feel uncomfortable."

Even though he was not feeling well, Bai Qiujing continued as usual, knowing that Shen Zhichu was afraid of the cold and his feet would become cold and numb in winter.

Shen Zhichu endured the cold and didn't say anything. Bai Qiujing squatted in front of her with hot water to wash her feet.

Shen Zhichu shrank back: "I can just wash it myself."

"You walked such a long distance barefoot in such cold weather. Aren't you afraid of getting frostbite or hurting your feet by stepping on stones?" He squatted on the ground and carefully placed Shen Zhichu's feet in the hot water, as if coaxing a child: "You are so old and still can't take care of yourself. How can I let you be alone?"

Shen Zhichu's feet were very cold and her toes were frozen red. When they got in the car, Bai Qiujing put a pair of socks on her, but once the feet were cold, it was difficult to warm them up. The car drove all the way and her feet were cold all the way. Even if the heater was on in the car, they didn't warm up.

Shen Zhichu was used to it and didn't feel that cold. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped out.

Bai Qiujing massaged the soles of his feet and said to her, "Tell me if it hurts."

Bai Qiujing's technique was gentle, and he patiently massaged the acupoints on the soles of his feet.

Shen Zhichu looked at Bai Qiujing quietly. It seemed like they had been separated for a long time before meeting each other, but also like they had never been separated.

This illusion comes from the fact that they have experienced separation and death several times.

Shen Zhichu couldn't help but ask: "Qiu Jing, have you ever thought that I won't be able to come back this time?"

The hand in the water froze for a moment, and Bai Qiujing murmured softly, "Flowers are blooming on the roadside, so I can go home slowly."

The flowers are blooming on the roadside, so you can take your time to go home. Whether you can come back or not, I will wait for you, always.
