Chapter 255 Eating Candied Haws
There is no doubt that Li Jingshen was born with a handsome face, deep peach blossom eyes, and upturned eye corners. When he looks at you, it is easy to give people the illusion that he loves you deeply.
Although she had a passionate face, her lips were very thin. She had seen this kind of mouth shape on the Internet, which said that people with this kind of mouth shape were born to be heartless and could be cruel even to the people they loved deeply.
When he heard her say that he "looks best in a white shirt", Li Jingshen shrank his hand holding the newspaper, "Do I look better in a white shirt?"
Shen Zhichu nodded in affirmation.
He raised the corner of his lips and said, "Then I will dress like this in the future."
Li Jingshen has a lot of high-end shirts. When he opens his wardrobe, he finds that there are more shirts in darker colors. He also prefers dark colors.
When Shen Zhichu said "white shirts look good", he couldn't help but think about it. When he first met Bai Qiu, he wore white clothes several times.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Zhichu found the pet backpack, opened the zipper, and Nian Nian curiously crawled inside. Shen Zhichu seized the opportunity and immediately zipped it up.
It was the first time for Nian Nian to enter the pet backpack, and he was a little bit uneasy, barking inside. Only after Chen Zhichu opened the zipper next to him and handed him some cat snacks did he gradually calm down.
"Let me carry it." In the past forty days, the little kitten has grown a lot.
"Are you sure?" Shen Zhichu looked at him in disbelief.
Li Jingshen directly reached out to take the pet backpack. Shen Zhichu looked at him carrying the cat from behind. It seemed so awkward. She couldn't help but smile and happily followed his pace.
Li Jingshen walked in front, and when he went down the stairs, he took Shen Zhichu's hand accurately without looking back.
The two of them took a car to Li's company. When they arrived at the company, Shen Zhichu found that the female employees' attire had changed a lot. At a glance, they were all wearing long sleeves and long pants, which were airtight. Occasionally, a few of them wore hip skirts, but the hems of the skirts were all above the knees.
Shen Zhichu saw Sun Yan at the front desk. She was no exception. She was wearing a suit instead of revealing her chest and legs. Her makeup and hair were not as heavy as before.
Sun Yan glanced at her and immediately lowered his head, as if he didn't want to meet her.
Shen Zhichu glanced at her lightly and followed Li Jingshen into the special elevator. Li Jingshen's office was very large, with a separate rest area for sleeping, room partitions, and even a place to wash and shower. I guess it was prepared for him to work overtime.
Li Jingshen was working outside, while Shen Zhichu was watching TV and petting cats inside, and her secretary brought her fruit and nut juice.
Shen Zhichu tried her best to minimize her presence. As long as Li Jingshen didn't call her, she would never go out to disturb him at work.
However, the partition was not soundproof, and she could hear everything Li Jingshen was talking about, including some confidential company documents.
Shen Zhichu felt a little dry in the mouth. Her stomach problems and pharyngitis seemed to be getting worse. There seemed to be a fire in her throat. Shen Zhichu didn't want to trouble others to bring her water, so she stood up and went out with the cup.
Zhao Qian was talking to Li Jingshen about the batch of minerals under Nanshui Island. Those minerals were the most important step in gaining a foothold in J City.
I am still thinking about which district to put it in. With these mines, there will be no one left to cooperate with.
"Boss Li, let me see Area C..." Before Zhao Qian could finish his words, he heard a noise behind him. Shen Zhichu came out with a cup in her hand and saw Zhao Qian looking at her warily. The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
"Come here." Li Jingshen waved at her.
Shen Zhichu walked over obediently: "Sorry to interrupt your conversation, I'm a little thirsty, come out to get a glass of water and I'll be out later."
"No need to go out, just stay here." There was a cup of water in front of Li Jingshen, the temperature was just right. When he heard Shen Zhichu say she was thirsty, he immediately picked up the water and handed it to her.
Shen Zhichu drank several mouthfuls, but he couldn't suppress the dryness in his throat.
"Niannian is still in there. I'm going back first."
Li Jingshen didn't stop her.
Zhao Qian watched Shen Zhichu go in, not knowing what to say for a moment. He lowered his voice and asked, "Boss Li, why did you bring your wife in again?"
"What do you mean again?" If he could, he would like to keep Shen Zhichu close to him and take him wherever he goes.
Zhao Qian pursed his lips and paused for a moment, "Boss Li, what we're discussing is confidential anyway. Why don't we go somewhere else and discuss it?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense today? Speak!"
His attitude showed that he was not worried at all about the company secrets being leaked. In fact, according to Shen Zhichu's current situation, even if he told her in front of her, she would not understand. But it is better to be safe than sorry, what if Shen Zhichu regained his memory...
As an outsider, he knew very well how much Shen Zhichu hated Li Jingshen. He was afraid that Shen Zhichu would suddenly regain his memory and use it to take revenge on Li Jingshen.
We must always be on guard against others, as Chen Zhichu is now a time bomb.
But Li Jingshen didn't care at all and asked Zhao Qian to say it in front of Shen Zhichu.
………
On May 21st, Shen Zhichu didn't know that this was a special day. In the early morning, Shen Zhichu was drowsy and suddenly felt a chill on her wrist. She opened her eyes and looked over. She saw an exquisite bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet is very simple in style, with some diamonds as decoration, and the most eye-catching feature is a small lock.
Shen Zhichu raised his wrist, and the diamonds on the chain sparkled under the light.
"What's this?"
"Your birthday present." This bracelet took nearly a month to design and create, and it's the only one of its kind in the world.
The bracelet is just the right length, simple and elegant, and it suits Shen Zhichu's aesthetic taste.
Li Jingshen pinched her slender, snow-white wrist: "Do you like it?"
Shen Zhichu didn't react for a while, just like her body was awake but her soul was still floating in outer space. She was stunned for a long time before asking, "Today is my birthday?"
"Yes, May 21st is your birthday."
Shen Zhichu was still confused. She felt vaguely familiar with this number, but also somewhat repulsed. However, she was very happy that Li Jingshen remembered her birthday and prepared a birthday gift for her as soon as possible.
Apart from the defect of having no nails, this bracelet looks good on Shen Zhichu's wrist, making her hands look even more slender, fair and graceful.
Shen Zhichu slowly said "I like it" and finally fixed his eyes on her ugly fingertips.
Li Jingshen also noticed her gaze. He reached out and held her hand, interlocking their fingers: "It looks very beautiful."
Shen Zhichu no longer cares as much about her fingertips as before. Recently, she bought a bunch of nail art stickers online and put them on her fingertips, which look just like the real ones and are quite nice.
"Will you go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Shen Zhichu agreed without even thinking about it.
Li Jingshen arranged all the time during the day. They went to the amusement park, ate, and Li Jingshen also bought her candied haws.
Shen Zhichu was worried that the candied haws would stick to his teeth, so he kept holding the candied haws in his hand.
She was wearing a red ankle-length dress, her hair was braided and pinned behind her head with a hairpin, and for the sake of the date effect, Shen Zhichu also put on some light makeup, she looked so bright and charming that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
When walking on the street, people would take street photos from time to time, but Li Jingshen forcibly stopped them and asked them to delete the photos.
After putting on makeup, Shen Zhichu looked much better. Even under the sun, you could still see the fine hairs on her face, but the blood vessels on her neck were also clearer than before.
The two of them did not play the exciting projects in the amusement park. One reason was that it was inconvenient for Shen Zhichu to wear a skirt, and the other was that she was not in a good mood.
The two of them played some simple games, but it still took quite a while to get through, and finally they went to a specific restaurant for dinner.
Western food is romantic enough, but Shen Zhichu doesn’t like it, and he can’t eat steak as he has stomach cancer, so he finally found a Chinese restaurant.
They were like an ordinary couple. After lunch, they went to the movies. During the movie, Shen Zhichu couldn't help but open the candied haws and ate one. It tasted sour and sweet.
It's just that her mouth is too small, so the sugar on the candied haws always gets all over her mouth and hands, making them sticky.
Shen Zhichu didn't watch much of the movie, her attention was all on the candied haws in her hand. She suddenly felt itchy and wanted to scratch, but her hands were sticky.
"I want to go to the bathroom." She whispered in Li Jingshen's ear.
"I'll go with you."
The cinema was dimly lit. They sat in the back row with a staircase leading west. Li Jingshen held Shen Zhichu's hand tightly with one hand, worried that she might fall.
Li Jingshen was waiting for her outside the bathroom, holding the candied haws that Shen Zhichu had not finished eating.
Shen Zhichu went in and washed his hands with hand sanitizer and started scratching. He suddenly felt an itch on his body, which became more and more uncomfortable. At first it was only on his back, and then it started on his hands and neck as well.
Shen Zhichu looked at the red rash on her hands and suddenly felt short of breath. She leaned against the wall and supported herself on the sink, but even so she could not support her body.
But after a short while, she began to feel hot and even felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
These symptoms were obviously allergies. The food she ate today was what she usually ate, with the only exception being the string of candied haws.
Is she allergic to hawthorn?
Suddenly, a hazy image emerged in her mind. She wanted to capture it but the image became more and more blurry and unclear, and a tingling sensation remained in her brain.
It's not very painful, but it always makes me uncomfortable when it stays in my mind, as if it is being filled up bit by bit by something.
Shen Zhichu supported his head with one hand and rested his other hand on the sink. The faucet was turned on and the water flowed loudly.
Shen Zhichu couldn't help but dry heave, and a mouthful of blood came out of his throat. There were all kinds of tastes in his mouth, but in the end, it was dominated by a fishy and sweet taste.
At this time, someone came in to touch up her makeup and saw her leaning against the wall with a pale face. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw Shen Zhichu's body limp and fall to the ground in front of him.
The woman was frightened when she saw the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and screamed in panic.
Li Jingshen stood outside waiting for Shen Zhichu. Five minutes passed in a flash, but Shen Zhichu still didn't come out...
Women take longer to go to the bathroom, but it’s not so long that there’s no noise at all.
