The girl did not answer his question directly, but lowered her head with disappointment in her eyes, "So you don't remember it."
Shen Zeshuo paused. He tried to search his mind for events that corresponded to the girl in front of him, but it seemed that he couldn't find a match.
"Chen Zeshuo! Is it fun to bully a little girl?"
Shen Mingzhu's voice appeared, and Shen Zeshuo had to interrupt his recollections and look at her.
"I……"
The little girl's voice was even faster, "No, Sister Mingzhu, he didn't bully me."
Even though the girl explained, Shen Mingzhu still didn't believe it. She squatted down and touched the girl's head.
"Qingqing, do you remember what your sister told you before?"
The girl nodded vigorously, "Remember, my sister said, if one day the real Shen Zeshuo stood in front of me, and I didn't like him as much as before, it wasn't because my love was fake, but because he was too close to me."
Shen Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. Distance creates beauty. Humans are such strange creatures. We don't cherish things when they are right in front of us, and we only start to regret it after we lose them."
When Shen Mingzhu said this, she also glanced at Shen Zeshuo inadvertently.
Shen Zeshuo was so ashamed that he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Little Zheng Qing suddenly turned her head and looked at Shen Zeshuo firmly, "But sister, I think I still like him as much as I did at the beginning. You see, if other people talk to me, they all stand tall, and it's tiring for me to look up when talking."
"But he was crouching down, and I could talk to him without looking up, just like you."
After she reminded him, Shen Mingzhu realized that Shen Zeshuo was squatting.
Zheng Qing hadn't finished her words yet, "Maybe he doesn't remember it, but I remember that a few years ago I went to the airport to pick up my brother. I wanted to give him a surprise so I didn't tell him. But there were so many people there that I couldn't find my brother at all."
"At that time, it was Brother Shen Zeshuo who squatted down to comfort me, and asked his assistant brother to help me send me to my brother. At that time, I thought that he should be a good brother as gentle as my brother. If he had a sister, he would definitely take good care of her."
The girl's sincere and innocent words directly made Shen Zeshuo burst into tears.
But he was not a good brother and lost his most cherished sister.
The sister whom he once promised to protect all his life has become the white lavender blooming in this forest.
Not only did he fail to keep his promise, he also indirectly killed her.
He thought they had no right to ask for forgiveness.
Zheng Qing didn't quite understand why Shen Zeshuo was crying so sadly, and she tugged at Shen Mingzhu's sleeve helplessly.
But Shen Mingzhu seemed to be immersed in complicated thoughts and unable to come back to his senses.
In desperation, little Zheng Qing took out a tissue from her little bag and handed it to Shen Zeshuo.
"Don't be sad. The people who love you will not want you to be so sad."
The exact same words, spanning several years, appeared between the two again, only this time, their positions were swapped.
It was like a boomerang, finally piercing his heart.
But little Zheng Qing didn't expect that the words that were so useful in comforting her would make Shen Zeshuo cry even harder.
After all, she was still young and thought that she had said something wrong and made him even more sad.
Shen Mingzhu stepped forward and held her hand. "It's okay. He might be too tired during this period and his emotions are a bit out of control."
Zheng Qing blinked her big eyes and looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Isn't it because I said something wrong?"
Shen Mingzhu squatted down again, raised her hand and gently stroked the girl's tender face, "Of course not, the adult world is very complicated, you go in and play with Sister Shuangnian first, give him some time to deal with it, okay?"
Until Zheng Qing disappeared from their sight, Shen Mingzhu sighed, "If they want to come over, they can. I won't stop you. As an outsider, I can't interfere too much in your affairs."
Shen Zeshuo raised his wet eyes and looked at her. It was clearly the same face, but it was no longer her.
Then, he nodded slowly, "I'm sorry, and thank you."
This apology was said to Shen Mingzhu in her current body. After all, he had wronged her since she came here.
And thank you, not only thank her for giving them the opportunity to see the real Shen Mingzhu, but also thank her for always maintaining awe and respect for the original Shen Mingzhu.
Instead of using the original Shen Mingzhu's body to speak for her and forgive her in exchange for more benefits.
In fact, if she didn't emphasize that she was not the original owner, the Shen family would give her more compensation for the sake of this face.
But she didn't do that, and that's why she deserves their respect.
What happened next was very natural. The Shen family came here from afar just to see the former Shen Mingzhu, and did not mention their identities to the people here.
He never even thought about letting Wen Shuangnian return to the Shen family.
After experiencing two misunderstandings, they have realized that perhaps blood ties are not important.
Anyway, Wen Shuangnian is living a good life now, so there is no need for them to disturb him.
And the person they owe the most is always the original Shen Mingzhu.
The girl who truly treated them as family, and even thought she had not done well enough before she died.
They will use endless regret for the rest of their lives to make up for their debt to her, even if she may not be able to perceive it.
After all, in the cycle of life, she might have already become a new life, an existence that has nothing to do with them.
As for Shen Mingzhu, she finally got rid of the troubles brought by this body, and she can finally live a different life in this new world with a new identity.
This time, she wanted to enjoy the beauty of the world freely, to see the scenery that she had not had the chance to see before, to feel the beauty that she had never felt before, and to embrace life with enthusiasm, on behalf of her previous self and the original owner of this body.
She wanted to live freely and passionately, without anything to hold her back anymore.
Maybe one day in the future, when she has admired enough, she will stop and find the most comfortable place to enjoy the rest of her life, but it will definitely not be now.
So, if you want to start, do it now, while you still have energy and enthusiasm.
There are always many things that people are forced to do and feel helpless about in their life.
But so what?
Love what you choose, choose what you love, and please move towards the life you want with determination!
You are the leader of your life.
