Chapter 61 After the Rain "I love you, I love you firmly."...
Song Jili looked at her, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and it was impossible to see the emotions in them.
Chen Cheng raised his hands nervously several times, wanting to sign out of habit, but he was not used to speaking first.
Song Jili turned around and walked forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Gradually.
Chen Cheng opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out to stop him.
"Chen Cheng."
Song Jili stood in the middle of the corridor. The sunlight shone through the glass, fell on the ground, and flickered in the wind.
Chen Cheng looked around her.
Cold and dark.
He doesn't fit in.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Chen Cheng hurriedly took a few steps forward, tightly grasping his collar, and said anxiously: "I said before, if possible, I want to keep my secret in my heart forever and never tell it for the rest of my life. But... I can't be unfaithful to you, so I told you, I have four-color vision, it's... a genetic disease."
"I know." Song Jili spent the entire night researching information. Of course he knew it was a genetic disease.
He asked, "You haven't mentioned it before, why are you bringing it up now? If I can't accept it, will you just stay in the Shen family in Beijing North? The old man gave you shares, and you feel secure, so you don't need me anymore?"
He was obviously angry, and every question he asked was heart-wrenching.
"The person who confessed to me last night asked me today if I wanted to break up?" Song Jili laughed at himself, "I am a little ridiculous."
Chen Chengmu stood there, waving his hands and shaking his head.
"No, I just...can't ignore the problems that stand between us."
"Then you shouldn't ask whether I want to break up with you." Song Jili raised his voice slightly, speaking over her.
Chen Cheng was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes.
"What should I say? Ask you to stay with me and not give you any choice?"
Song Jili was angry, but after hearing what she said, he couldn't blame her.
She also considered him, but——
"But I don't like you asking me questions assuming separation."
“Why can the assumption only be separation?”
"He said he would hold my hand and walk with me, but he obviously let go halfway."
Song Jili's words became gentler, without the sharpness they had just now.
After hearing this, Chen Cheng couldn't hold back his tears.
Not wanting to be seen by him, she turned around and wiped her tears, like a crying child, wiping them clean with her hands without caring about her decency.
"Chen Cheng, can you be a little more firm with me?"
Song Jili asked her.
Somehow, these words struck her heart and touched her soul.
She turned and ran towards him, hugging him tightly.
Song Jili raised his hand and placed it on the back of her head, saying lovingly and helplessly, "I am not the kind of person who avoids problems. After you told me, I thought you were giving me enough time to prepare myself mentally. I also know that the child I will have in the future may be red-green color blind or color weak. It turns out that I was wrong. You are still thinking about breaking up with me."
"Sorry, it's not like that..." Chen Cheng choked.
Song Jili bent down slightly, hugged her tightly, and said, "So what? Without a child, we won't be complete? Without a child, will we not love each other anymore? I am not with you for the sake of a child. It's just because I love you very much."
Chen Cheng buried his head, shook his shoulders, and tried his best to hide his uncontrollable crying.
"Baby, can you not assume that we will separate in the future? I feel like you can leave me at any time. I am not that important to you."
He knew it was difficult for Chen Cheng, but he still wanted her to love and care for him firmly.
Chen Cheng nodded: "Never again in the future."
"Okay, don't cry, we didn't have a fight." Song Jili wiped away her tears.
She admitted in her heart that he had deliberately said those self-deprecating words just now in order to arouse her guilt.
Used some dirty tricks.
But he just wanted her to be firmer and firmer towards him.
Chen Cheng held Song Jili's hand tightly and asked, "Then... if I'm always so strong, do you feel uncomfortable or suffocated?"
She was worried about the relationship between the two, but Song Jili smiled.
"Is it true that I can still feel Chen Cheng's suffocating love in my life? You'd better give it to me."
Chen Cheng patted his arm: "I'm serious!"
"Ms. Orange, I'm telling you seriously, no, you won't do this to me." Song Jili said, holding her face.
He believes in her kind nature. She grows up in the suffocating love for you. She tries every means to break free. Such a person will never impose the emotions that he once resisted on his lover.
He said, "I love you, firmly."
Never changes.
Chen Cheng felt that Song Jili still thought too highly of her.
"Let's go back and get some sleep." Song Jili pulled her and strode forward.
Chen Cheng turned around and looked at the bright spring light in the corridor again. The reflection of the glass on the ground looked like sparkling diamonds.
Her heart was also warmed by the sun.
Then, love more firmly!
She thought.
-
Before June came, Mr. Shen passed away forever.
The specifications of the funeral were the same as those for Chen Aoshuang. Originally, they had not planned to hold a funeral. It would have been a bit awkward to have two funerals in the family within a year. However, Mr. Shen had made many friends during his lifetime, and everyone came to pay their respects spontaneously.
Chen Cheng and her three brothers stood at the front, just like last time, standing quietly and listening to the guests' discussion about the Shen family. The main topic was that her mute daughter got the shares.
This time, Chen Cheng also stood in the corridor, waiting for the final farewell ceremony to be over and the official cremation.
After receiving the ashes, according to Mr. Shen’s will, he will be buried together with Chen Aoshuang.
Chen Cheng looked at the setting sun in the sky and sighed.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Jili walked over with a casual attitude and raised his hand to tug at his tie.
There were so many guests coming today that the three sisters-in-law were unable to receive them all, so Song Jili followed them to help.
Some guests even joked that when they saw Song Jili busying around, if they didn't know him, they would think he was a live-in son-in-law.
Chen Cheng shook his head: "It's too noisy today, so I found a quiet place to stay for a while."
Song Jili sat on the stool next to her: "Do you mind if I stay quiet with you?"
Chen Cheng took the initiative to sit next to Song Jili, leaning his shoulder against his arm.
"I may really go back to Beijing less often in the future."
So the sunset before us is particularly rare.
Song Jili tilted his head: "From now on, I will accompany you back every New Year."
"Really?" Chen Cheng had never thought about it, because apart from the 10% of the shares, he didn't know what other ties he had with the Shen family.
"Didn't you say that you treat them as family? Then you should come back to visit them more often." Song Jili rubbed her hair.
Chen Cheng smiled.
"I was too weak a few days ago."
Song Jili said nonchalantly: "Think about it, I am the second child in the family, and you are the fourth child. Our children can only inherit a small share in this life, and they will not have to worry about food and clothing, but they will not inherit the throne."
"I know. I won't get hung up on it." Chen Cheng held his arm tightly. "I'm just afraid that you'll feel regretful."
"If I lose you because of the child, that would be my biggest regret." Song Jili doesn't want anything else but Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng tilted his head back, but because he was too tall, he could only kiss his chin.
She paused for a few seconds, then pulled away.
"It doesn't count." Song Jili pinched her wrist, preventing her from retreating.
He leaned down, "Come again."
Chen Cheng frowned: "No."
"I won't let go unless you kiss me. I deserve that kiss." Song Jili was particularly righteous.
I was worried that he would really make a fuss and not let go.
After preparing himself mentally for a while, Chen Cheng kissed him on the cheek.
"Just a kiss on the cheek?" Song Jili said a little disappointedly, "I thought you would kiss me."
Chen Cheng couldn't stand the sarcastic tone of his voice, so she held his face, kissed his lips, and deliberately bit them.
When we separated, I saw a smile in Song Jili's eyes.
"Does it count as a rabbit biting when it's cornered?" he asked.
Chen Cheng shook him off and walked quickly towards the crematorium.
Behind her was Song Jili's laughter, and her face flushed slightly.
-
On the morning of the second day after the funeral, Chen Cheng and Song Jili left Jingbei, accompanied by their third brother and his family.
The eldest brother was busy dealing with company matters, so the second brother and his family drove over to pick me up.
Apart from anything else, the tacit division of labor makes them look like a family living in harmony.
The plane landed in Jiangdu, and Shen Bingwei returned to school to attend classes and prepare for the college entrance examination in a few days.
The third brother and his wife went straight to the company, and Chen Cheng also had to go to the studio to prepare for various matters related to the art exhibition. Song Jili became the least busy one.
So, he followed Chen Cheng to the studio.
Xiao Yin was startled when she saw Song Jili behind Chen Cheng. She smiled innocently and said hello, "Sir, come and play today!"
"Well, you and Assistant Jiang prepare afternoon tea. There is no budget, so just order whatever you want." Song Jili generously treated them.
Xiao Yin smiled attentively, her heart blossoming with joy.
Chen Cheng stood at the door and pointed to the lounge next to it: "Go there."
"Why? Can't I go in?" Song Jili followed her example and folded his arms without moving.
He came to the studio not to stay alone in the lounge, but to be with her.
"It's full of paintings, it's very messy." Before a new exhibition, she would guard the paintings inside strictly and would never let him see them.
Song Jili assured: "I will definitely not move."
After ordering, Xiao Yin appeared at the right time and said, "Sir, sister Awen and I cannot go in. The sofas are all covered with paintings, and the boss has to sort them out. The only chair that can be sat on is the one the boss sits on when he paints."
Her words added credibility, and Song Jili's expression relaxed.
Chen Cheng gave Xiao Yin a gratified look. The little girl was smart.
"It's all paint, which is bad for your health." Chen Cheng pushed Song Jili towards the lounge.
Before the door closed, Song Jili grabbed Chen Cheng's hand and said, "Come and rest if you're tired of painting. Don't sit there all the time. Your health is important."
"Got it, Mr. Chatterbox." Chen Cheng said the words he and Liang Yanling learned.
Song Jili snorted and closed the door.
After escaping the danger, Chen Cheng turned around and saw Xiao Yin winking at her.
"There will be a salary increase next month." Chen Cheng said this and went back to work.
Xiao Yin was stunned for a moment, then jumped three times happily on the spot.
With a new exhibition approaching, Chen Cheng was not satisfied with his previous paintings and planned to repaint a new series. The workload was too heavy and he had to stay in the studio from 7 am to 8 pm every day.
When she is busy, Xiaoyin and Awen also have to be busy.
Because of the generous overtime pay, Xiao Yin actively worked overtime, helping Chen Cheng by cleaning painting tools and sorting paints.
Xiao Yin is a chatterbox and will find all kinds of topics to chat with Chen Cheng.
"Boss, the second episode of the variety show is aired tonight, and I saw you on TV."
Chen Cheng paused in his sketching: "It's aired?"
"Yes, there are so many good reviews. Your family is so good-looking." Xiao Yin said enviously, "The master is also very good to you."
"Any other comments?" Chen Cheng was a little curious.
Xiao Yin held her phone and scanned the comments of netizens, saying, "Some netizens said that you are a fake couple from a wealthy family, and your marriage is a marriage between two families without any love."
"Some netizens also said that your acting was so fake."
Xiao Yin didn't have the courage to read on: "Boss, don't listen to their nonsense. In my heart, you and your husband are the sweetest couple in the world."
Chen Cheng wanted to laugh. They were acting like a real couple but they were so angry about each other that the two of them who were a real couple were doubted.
"I don't care." She pointed to the blue paint and said, "Give me No. 76 and No. 34."
Xiao Yin ran over, picked it out, and handed it to Chen Cheng.
The phone rang not far away.
Chen Cheng's hands were dirty, so Xiao Yin put down the paint, picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
Chen Cheng waved her hand, signaling Xiao Yin to answer for her.
"...Hello, Madam E San, my name is Xiao Yin, and I'm Sister Chengzi's junior." Xiao Yin strictly adhered to the principle of not revealing Chen Cheng's identity and began to talk nonsense.
Jiang Mei, who was sitting opposite, didn't care about Xiao Yin and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Cheng, a few ladies said they watched a variety show or a program and said you are Yu Zhi. It really pissed me off. Yu Zhi is full of scandals, how could it be you? I was so angry that I had a fight with them. I called you to tell you that you must not pay attention to any rumors these days."
Xiao Yin gave an awkward smile.
Chen Cheng is not much better either, I don’t know how to explain it.
