Chapter 60 Building a Snowman
Looking at his wife's haggard face, Shen Zhen'an felt a pang of heartache.
He strode over in his snow-stained leather shoes and pulled the person into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively yesterday."
Once in her husband's arms, a woman's emotions are like a floodgate bursting, and she can no longer control them.
While hitting and cursing, she said, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Didn't you say you didn't want this family anymore? Why did you come back!"
"You still say I'm crazy? You think I want to associate with those rich ladies? You think I want to grovel and cater to those lunatics? No way!"
"I thought that as long as I endured all this and helped you and your son keep the Shen family afloat, that would be enough. But in the end, even you are blaming me! You're a bastard!"
Despite his wife's scolding, Shen Zhen'an held her tightly in his arms.
To be honest, being able to hold my wife like this is truly blissful.
He was the one who initially decided to take half of the Shen family business and venture out, but during these years alone away from home, how could he not miss the home where his wife was?
"Go ahead and curse me, curse me however you want. I'm a bastard, you can hit me and curse me however you want, but we can't get a divorce."
Chen Jie paused, then looked up at the person with her red and swollen eyes.
Just as I was about to yell "Are you crazy?", I was suddenly kissed on the cheek.
The woman's first thought was that it was in the lobby, and it would be too inappropriate to be seen by people coming and going.
Shen Zhenan, however, refused to let go. Despite being over fifty, his passion for his wife was no less than that for his son.
"So what? I married my wife openly and honestly, and I can't even kiss her in front of outsiders?"
Just as she was about to kiss him again, a voice came from behind, "Oh dear, did I go to the wrong house?"
Hearing the cold stares from his parents, Shen Jingsi carried his coat and walked along the wall.
"Continue, I won't disturb you two."
Mother Shen, her face flushed, hid in her husband's arms, while Father Shen, his eyes full of disgust, cursed, "Get out of here!"
Shen Jingsi quickly left.
As she climbed the stairs, taking three steps at a time, she bumped into Lu Zhenyu, who was standing in the corner.
Seeing the girl suddenly stand up straight, he walked over with a wicked grin.
"Little sister, hiding here and peeking?"
She wasn't peeping; she was openly and honestly watching!
Lu Zhenyu swallowed hard and turned her face away. "No, I just came down too."
"Oh? Is that so~"
Shen Jingsi nodded seriously, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, and slowly pulled the person into the corner.
"Then you can go down. I'll stand here and watch you go down."
Lu Zhenyu glared at him, "Mind your own business."
As the person was about to run upstairs, seeing this, Shen Jingsi behind him pretended to shout, "Dad, Mom, the road..."
Lu Zhenyu panicked and rushed over to cover his mouth, shouting, "What are you yelling about!"
In the shadows around the corner, the two were very close together.
With his mouth covered, Shen Jingsi lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him, his expression unconsciously becoming very gentle.
When he sensed the girl was about to pull her hand back, he grabbed it and scooped her up in his arms.
"Hey! What are you doing! Put me down!"
No matter how much Lu Zhenyu hit him, he wouldn't let go and carried him back to the fourth floor.
The door closed, and the person was pinned against the door panel.
In the dim light, Lu Zhenyu couldn't see anything clearly, only the man's hard chest.
"Have you gone mad, Shen Jingsi? Have you forgotten who you are?"
Shen Jingsi ignored her threats and, in the dim light of the night, bent down and pulled her into his arms.
Lu Zhenyu's resistance froze, and a voice came from the crook of her neck, "Don't make a fuss, you've had a long day, let me hold you for a while."
To be honest, Lu Zhenyu's heart was touched at this moment, but she still retained a sliver of rationality.
"This is not something we should be doing in our capacity."
Shen Jingsi said lazily, "I've already done what I shouldn't have done. If I wanted to do it, would you kill me?"
"This shameless scoundrel again," Lu Zhenyu said, speechless. "The past is the past, and the present is the present."
The body in front of her was like a mountain, no matter how much Lu Zhenyu pushed and patted it, it wouldn't budge.
"I don't care about those things. Old Shen has a wife to hug, so why can't I?"
"Then you've clearly chosen the wrong person. Duan Xi'er is the one who will become your wife."
"Lu Zhenyu".
Why are you calling me by my full name?
"I know you're not mute, so just say less."
"I..." Lu Zhenyu choked, and heard the man's triumphant chuckle coming from the crook of her neck.
"I know you're not feeling well, so I won't bother you. I'll just give you a hug."
Lu Zhenyu gave up resisting and lay there listlessly, letting him hold her.
"How long are you going to hold me like this?"
"Didn't you notice you have an extra item on you?"
"Xiao Meng won't be able to find me when she delivers the medicine."
Do you remember what you dreamed about last night?
"I'm tired of standing, let go of my hand."
They started talking about their own things again.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Shen Jingsi stepped out of her embrace, looked down at her, and said sincerely, "As long as you ask, I will answer you."
Seeing that Lu Zhenyu looked completely unable to understand what he was saying, Shen Jingsi felt he should remind her, so he reached out and pulled out the safety buckle from her clothes.
"Don't you have any questions for me?"
Lu Zhenyu frowned. "What are you asking?"
She wasn't so forgetful as to have forgotten him. "Wasn't it the one you gave me when I was eighteen?"
Shen Jingsi: "..."
It took him a while to process what sounded like an absurd guess.
Lu Zhenyu's memory seems to have become somewhat distorted.
Could it be related to her severe depression?
During this period, Shen Jingsi took some one-on-one lessons with a psychologist and learned that when depression becomes severe to a certain stage, it can be accompanied by problems such as amnesia and schizophrenia, but he could not confirm this on his own.
Thinking that perhaps an opportunity should be found to take the person to the hospital.
But then I thought, why should I let her know these things?
If she takes good care of people, she can simply be a small flower blooming again in a greenhouse.
As long as his glass enclosure stands, she will never again be exposed to wind and rain.
Thinking this way, Shen Jingsi felt somewhat relieved and smiled again in the blink of an eye.
While Shen Jingsi was lost in thought, Lu Zhenyu seized the opportunity to open the door and slip away.
She had just turned around when the man grabbed her from behind and pulled her back around the waist.
She was truly at her wit's end. "Shen Jingsi, if you keep this up, I'm going to call for help."
"So that the whole family can see that a married brother and sister, one about to get married, are having an affair?"
Shen Jingsi couldn't see it, but he guessed that the girl who was silent at this moment must have rolled her eyes at him.
That is indeed the case.
But it doesn't matter, because he's thick-skinned.
He rubbed his thick skin against the girl's thin silk shirt, his strong chest, built up from years of exercise, pressed against the butterfly-shaped back beneath the silk, transferring the burning heat from his chest cavity to hers.
Shen Jingsi's deep voice became even more magnetic, "Zhenzhen, it's snowing outside."
Lu Zhenyu, her head pressed against the door, trying to endure the deliberate teasing on her lower abdomen, said, "I know."
The slightly chubby little belly felt so nice to touch, and Shen Jingsi asked, unable to put it down:
"Want to come with me to build a snowman?"
He felt the body in his arms pause slightly, and then said, "I'll make one even bigger than the one that Duan Xi'er took away, and give it to you, okay?"
...
Lu Zhenyu also couldn't remember how she got out.
Before she could even answer "okay?", the man took it upon himself to put his brown cashmere coat, gray scarf, and two girly pink gloves on her from a drawer full of men's ties.
After wrapping the person up like a rice dumpling, they carried them away.
"It's so dark here, how can you roll a snowman? You'd be better off rolling an egg."
It wasn't that Lu Zhenyu was nitpicking, but the forest was so dark that they couldn't see each other even if they stood face to face.
I felt the warmth of the breath on my head getting closer and closer, and then I said, my mouth close to her nose:
"Get out? How do I get out? Should I hug you or will you hug me?"
"..."
