Chapter 149 Lu Zhenyu ran away again.
Lu Zhenyu's usually sharp and quick-witted mind was now burning from the alcohol, and she was reacting a little slowly.
But she knew she was satisfied with Shen Jingsi's answer.
Yiqiao told her to think less and search more, and to ask her own heart.
But she wanted to ask him first.
Lu Zhenyu looked at Shen Jingsi again.
He shut up, let out a burp, rolled his dry eyes, and looked back. "Back to the previous question, how much do you like me?"
Shen Jingsi said with absolute certainty, "It's love."
"How much love is that?"
"In this life and the next, in every lifetime, it can only be you."
Lu Zhenyu, "Between me and your family, you choose..."
Without a second's hesitation, Shen Jingsi said, "I choose you."
Lu Zhenyu paused for a moment, then licked her lips, "What if it's your family..."
It's still you.
"Me and your mother..."
"It can only be you."
Shen Jingsi ignored Lu Zhenyu's options and answered directly.
Lu Zhenyu paused.
His expression was even more resolute than when he was joining the Party, so there was really no need for her to ask anything more.
Look at her. The girl who was so aggressive just a second ago has now closed her eyes, drunk, and fallen asleep in his large arms.
As the flames of war raged, Shen Jingsi, eagerly awaiting the girl's next words, remained silent: "..."
"Zhenzhen?"
"Zhenzhen, are you asleep?"
A soft, sweet voice came from her chest, "Mmm, I'm asleep."
Shen Jingsi smiled, then shook his head helplessly.
He genuinely didn't know, and had never seen Lu Zhenyu drunk before.
She's so cute and charming. I wish I hadn't blocked her drinks when I was younger and gotten her drunk sooner. By now, her kids would probably be dating already.
He couldn't bear to put it down and wanted to kiss it, but as soon as he leaned forward, a small hand pushed his chin back, saying, "Don't try to take advantage of me!"
Her eyes were barely open, but she was pouting and looking fiercely cute.
Shen Jing laughed heartily in a deep, steady voice.
He felt that she had somewhat avenged him for what happened that night.
He gave up, picked up the limp little one, and said, "Be good, we won't take advantage of you. Aren't you sleepy? Let's take our baby back to bed, okay?"
Lu Zhenyu forced her eyes open a crack and squinted, "Who is your baby?"
Shen Jingsi brushed the red mark from her nose against his shirt, saying, "Who else could it be but Zhenzhen?"
Lu Zhenyu blinked, then snuggled into his arms again, murmuring, "And our baby."
Shen Jingsi's smile froze.
Her narrow waist was wrapped around again, and the drunk girl said in a soft, sweet voice, "Honey, I miss our baby."
"When are you going to take me to see her? You won't let me see her. What if she misses me over there?"
“She’s so small. Babies always want their mothers. If she doesn’t have her mother with her, won’t she cry and throw a tantrum and refuse to drink milk?”
Shen Jingsi lowered his gaze little by little. "Why do you say that? Did someone say something?"
Lu Zhenyu, who was in his arms, shook her head. "No, there's nothing."
She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and repeatedly twisted her already reddened fingers. "Because Dad said that I was like this when I was little."
Shen Jingsi stared at the girl blankly for a long time, until his vision was obscured by the mist in his eyes.
His interpretation of these seemingly random words was, "Is Zhenzhen saying that when she was little, she would be very scared and want to cry if she couldn't find her mother, and she wouldn't want to eat?"
"Hmm!" Lu Zhenyu nodded with her eyes closed. "I don't like to eat rice, I don't want to eat carrots, I don't want to eat shrimp, and I don't want to eat eggs."
Foods that are good for a woman's health but that she doesn't like to eat require a lot of coaxing from her mother, who hopes her daughter will grow up healthy and strong. Only then will her spoiled daughter, who has developed a princess-like temperament, reluctantly eat a bite.
Because Mom said, "How about we take Zhenzhen to the zoo to see the pandas after we finish eating?"
So when her mother passed away, the girl stopped eating, because no one would take her there anymore.
His heart clenched, his emotions trembled, and Shen Jingsi turned his face away, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, letting out a long, painful sigh.
He knows, he knows everything.
It turns out it wasn't that I didn't like the food, nor was it necessarily a physiological allergy; it was that I dared not think about my mother anymore.
He should have known sooner; he should have asked her sooner.
That way, he can come and feed her, take her to the zoo, and tell her that even though she doesn't have a mother anymore, she still has Shen Jingsi.
But he didn't.
He overlooked the girl's most sensitive side, assuming she was genuinely well-behaved and sensible, and finding the shrimp she peeled delicious. He failed to consider why she was so well-behaved as a child and why she became a picky eater after losing her memory.
Because she lost her mother when she was three years old, but then remembered her mother again when she was 28.
The two girls were right; it turns out he never really tried to understand her from beginning to end.
Exhausted from suppressing his surging emotions, Shen Jingsi hugged the person tightly, resting his chin on his head, holding him very close.
"Sweetie, go to sleep. When you wake up, your husband will take you to see the baby and also take you to see the giant pandas, okay?"
He wasn't sure if the girl, whose eyes were glazed with drunkenness, had heard him clearly. After a long pause, she nodded and said, "Okay."
He picked her up to get up, but the girl didn't forget to wrap her arms around her chest to cover herself up completely. "Then you're not allowed to take advantage of me."
She was both cute and fierce, which made Shen Jingsi laugh through his tears. "But you were the one taking advantage of me just now."
She turned her face away. "I was drunk."
"But you've taken my bed, where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"
"Then take me back."
"I sleep on the sofa, I love sleeping on the sofa."
Although he said he would sleep on the sofa, Shen Jingsi couldn't bear to be too far away from Lu Zhenyu.
After the person falls asleep, quietly move a chair over and stand guard by the bedside until the middle of the night.
When I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
The empty bed was cold. Shen Jingsi quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went out.
The girls were gathered at the entrance of the maternity ward, taking turns teasing the babies in their swaddling clothes.
Shen Jingsi, standing at the back, scanned the crowd but didn't see Lu Zhenyu.
Shi Yiqiao came out with a cup of milk tea from behind, and the two met face to face.
Shen Jingsi asked, "Where's Zhenzhen?"
Shi Yiqiao looked at the person and said, "You don't know?"
"What?"
"She took an early morning flight back to New Zealand."
"What?"
Seeing Shen Jingsi frown, Shi Yiqiao, who had succeeded in her prank, laughed, "Alright, I was just teasing you. She wasn't planning on telling you anyway."
He casually handed her a card, saying, "Take a look for yourself. Zhenzhen left this for you."
Shen Jingsi took the card, and after Shi Yiqiao left, he opened it with his long fingers, revealing his magnificent and bold handwriting.
A person who is cold themselves cannot warm others; similarly, I do not believe that a person who does not love themselves can love others. Jing Si, the premise for us to try again is that you first face the scars you have hidden.
Lu Zhenyu left behind]
Yes, Lu Zhenyu has run away again.
As spring drew to a close, Lu Zhenyu returned to her home in New Zealand at the end of November.
The price of a hangover is that after waking up early, your brain feels like it's filled with lead.
When Lu Zhenyu saw Shen Jingsi lying by the bedside, holding her hand, as if he had been sleeping in that position all night, she couldn't help but laugh.
That laugh pulled at her head, making it feel throbbing and causing her to gasp for breath.
I can't remember what happened yesterday, but judging from their appearance, they must have been quite well-behaved last night.
She decided to go back to New Zealand today a long time ago.
It's not about running away from anything, but about giving each other some space to think about the present and consider the future.
Lu Zhenyu didn't know what Shen Jingsi would do after reading her message, but she was certain that she had absorbed far too much during her month-long stay at the border and needed to process it all on her own.
At the same time, she has a lot of things she needs to produce urgently, so she will be going into seclusion for two months.
