Chapter 189 What is the truth
One night six years ago, Li Jingshen accidentally fell into the water. He had a fatal flaw: he was born afraid of water and couldn't swim. To put it bluntly, he was a landlubber.
That night he thought he was going to die in the water until a blurry figure fell into the water and pulled him up.
It was December, and there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the lake. I felt cold all over and it hurt as if I was being scraped by a knife. It seemed as if there were ice chips in my blood.
Li Jingshen's expression was extremely complicated as his thoughts went back to six years ago. There was only one desk lamp in the room, illuminating every corner with an orange light.
Shen Zhichu burst into tears unconsciously in his arms, but fortunately her back was facing Li Jingshen so no one could see her tear-stained face.
"When exactly six years ago?"
"12.25, around midnight, northern suburbs..." As Li Jingshen finished his words, the originally vague memories in his mind suddenly became clear.
Shen Zhichu covered his mouth, his voice hoarse: "Li Jingshen, why do you think it was Xia Mingyue who saved you?"
This was the first time Shen Zhichu had inquired about something in such detail. Li Jingshen replied, "It was her that I saw when I woke up in the hospital. Mingyue also said that she was the one who saved me."
"She said she saved you?" Shen Zhichu sneered with an ambiguous tone.
"She said that was one reason, and the other reason was because of the pearl earrings on her ears." He saw a pair of pearl earrings in the water that night, and he still remembered that she reached out to touch them. When she woke up, Xia Mingyue was lying on the side of his bed with the pearl earrings on her ears that he saw.
"Li Jingshen, have you ever thought that many people have pearl earrings like that? Have you ever thought that Xia Mingyue lied to you?" The tears in Shen Zhichu's eyes disappeared, leaving only bottomless desolation.
Li Jingshen's expression changed slightly. As Shen Zhichu finished speaking, she felt as if her heart was grabbed by something. He suddenly stood up and looked down at Shen Zhichu's profile: "What do you mean?"
Shen Zhichu turned his head and met his gaze. His eyes were pitch black, and his gaze was so sinister that it sent chills down one's spine.
"It's nothing special, just saying it casually." After saying this, Shen Zhichu couldn't help but laugh softly. She slightly hunched her body and crawled on the quilt, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
“Hahahaha…. Hahaha…. So that’s how it is…” It turned out that the person she saved six years ago was Li Jingshen. It turned out that she no longer owed Li Jingshen anything…
Li Jingshen was naturally afraid of water and she was naturally afraid of the cold, so after he got her to shore, she lost consciousness. She was rushed to the hospital and stayed in bed for a whole week with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Shen Zhichu raised her chin slightly, the smile on the corner of her lips was a little ironic but she quickly suppressed it. Her dark eyes stared at Li Jingshen. She pursed her lips and finally said nothing, only saying lightly: "I'm thirsty."
Seeing her fall into a crazy smile, Li Jingshen felt a chill in his heart, "Chen Zhichu, what's wrong with you?"
He reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Shen Zhichu's eyes, but Shen Zhichu stood up before him: "Nothing, I just think you are very affectionate."
Li Jingshen heard the sarcasm in her words. If Shen Zhichu hadn't suddenly asked him, he might never have said it. Li Jingshen changed the subject and said, "I'll get you some water."
There was a water dispenser in the living room outside the bedroom. Looking at Li Jingshen's back, Shen Zhichu sat back on the bed and raised her hand to pinch her earring, where there was a faint scar.
When they were in the water, Li Jingshen struggled and reached out to pull her earring. He used too much force and the earring was torn vertically. She had to get several stitches at that time. Now the wound has healed and the scar has faded. It is difficult to notice if you don't look carefully.
When Li Jingshen came back from fetching water, Shen Zhichu was still laughing, and tears were falling from his eyes.
Affection is completely useless. The most despicable feeling in the world is when someone who treats you very badly suddenly becomes gentle to you. It is as fierce as a storm and cannot be avoided. But belated affection is cheaper than grass, dirtier than mud, and like a maggot in the sewer.
She would not tell Li Jingshen the truth. She wanted Li Jingshen to live in a lie...
