Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 994 Where is my ring?
Just like a bird without wings or a fish without water, he was searching desperately for the most important thing in his life.
The fingertips of his ten fingers began to feel a burning sensation and tearing pain, but he was unaware of it until Mrs. Liu made a sound.
"Mr. Li, your hand is bleeding."
Oh, so it was bleeding... That's okay, it's just bleeding, it won't kill anyone, it's just an external injury, it will be fine after recuperation. It's more important to find the ring. Yes, he must find his ring.
Where is my ring? My ring... my ring... I lost my ring... That was my ring... It was the ring I gave to Gu Wanqiu, the ring that Gu Wanqiu had worn...
The blood stained the stones on the ground red. He searched hard, as if he would find it even if it meant breaking his hands.
Li Jinxing was very vulnerable at this time, and even Mrs. Liu beside him could easily knock him down.
Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only quietly accompany Li Jinxing to find the ring.
She knew that Li Jinxing would not be willing to give up if he didn't find the ring.
To him, the ring seemed to carry Gu Wanqiu's life. Losing the ring meant that he no longer had anything to remind him of her.
So, he will definitely find the ring, but he will have to pay some price in the process.
Mrs. Liu looked at Li Jinxing who was searching hard, just like a child who suddenly lost a toy he had worked so hard to get, crying while still searching without giving up.
Mrs. Liu also calmed down and helped him search in the rain.
Li Jinxing's movements changed from crazy at the beginning to calm. He carefully turned over every stone, pulled out the weeds, and did not miss any corner. His red eyes scanned everything around him.
The rain wet Li Jinxing's face. At this moment, Li Jinxing was fragile and beautiful.
Gong Qing said that Li Jinxing would never understand the feeling of loving and being loved in his life.
Mrs. Liu wanted to deny it. How could such a person like Li Jinxing not understand this?
He wiped his face, and the blood and mud on his face were quickly washed away by the rain. He was like an angel who had fallen into the world, and finally turned into a devil step by step. His whole face was filled with despair, just like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow, blooming with the most amazing beauty.
However, he was not destined to be a devil and could not realize his desires.
He knelt on the ground and searched for a long time, searching with piety, hoping for a so-called miracle. Mrs. Liu was some distance away from him, but she could hear his heavy breathing, which blended with the sound of heavy rain.
His body began to tremble, and he didn't know if it was from the pain, the cold, or fear...
There's a line in One Hundred Years of Solitude: "Many things, when you recall them, you realize they're nothing." The past is fake, and memories are a road with no return.
But Li Jinxing just couldn't let go of the past and couldn't forget it, so he stayed there, alone in pain.
Tears as big as beans rolled down from his eyes and flowed silently along with the rain. Li Jinxing tasted a salty and astringent taste in his mouth. He thought it was tears, but when he opened his mouth to breathe, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
This was the first time Mrs. Liu saw Li Jinxing vomiting blood, it was so terrifying.
His body could no longer bear the weight. He covered his heart with his right hand and curled up in pain, his back bent, like a pangolin trying to protect itself from danger. Blood gushed out of his slightly open mouth.
"Mr. Li!" Mrs. Liu exclaimed, anxiously going over to check on him. "Are you okay? Let me help you inside and call a doctor for you."
She was at a loss, her eyes almost red with nervousness, "Should I call the emergency number? Or should I call Mr. He first... Why did you suddenly vomit so much blood? What should I do..." She was really afraid that Li Jinxing would die in such a rainy day.
Li Jinxing held a sharp stone in his hand, clenched it tightly, and pierced his palm. Even now, he was still talking about the ring, trying to get it back.
Mrs. Liu's eyes were moist, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. She thought that Li Jinxing was so persistent that he probably wanted to find the ring at the last moment of his death.
But some things, once lost, can never be found again and are forgotten in the past.
The ring is an object that can be recovered, but what about the person?
Even the most heartless people can be so affectionate at times, acting crazy and mad.
Li Jinxing staggered and pushed away Mrs. Liu's hand. He had recovered from the stress. The eaves were right in front of him. He could just take a few steps closer to shelter from the rain. He could go in. The room was so warm. He could take a hot bath, drink a glass of hot milk and have a good rest.
But he refused to do so... His persistence was frightening.
The rain kept falling, and Mrs. Liu could feel that he was about to lose consciousness. She didn't know what was keeping him moving.
Mrs. Liu watched him quietly for a while, then continued to help him find the ring.
I don’t know if I can find it.
The originally neatly paved gravel road was turned over, and there were small puddles everywhere. Such a place was too difficult to find. In addition, the color of the ring was very similar to these stones, which easily confused the vision.
It was unknown how long it had been before Li Jinxing's body swayed. After he managed to stabilize himself, he held his forehead with one hand and tightly grasped a handful of weeds under the stairs with the other hand, holding it very hard, like a life-saving straw, which became his support.
Suddenly, he grabbed the weeds and pulled them upwards with force. His whole body lost control and he fell backwards heavily to the ground.
"Mr. Li..." Mrs. Liu looked over.
Li Jinxing still held the handful of weeds in his hand, placing it against his chest. He gasped for breath as he pulled the weeds out from between his fingers. After clearing the weeds from his hand, he found the vegetarian ring in his palm.
Mrs. Liu also saw it. She didn't expect that on such a rainy day, Li Jinxing could actually find the ring again.
Li Jinxing's voice was hoarse, but a smile appeared on his face: "I found the ring, I finally found it... I will never lose it again." He put it on his little finger again, but found that it was a little loose.
It fit perfectly when I put it on not long ago, so why is the ring loose now?
Even the ring will become inappropriate, let alone the person...
A ring this loose on your little finger is bound to come loose eventually.
What is the significance of finding this ring?
Li Jinxing stared blankly. If the ring was found, then... Li Jinxing asked, "Can Gu Wanqiu be found too?"
