Chapter 288 Li Jingshen is Engaged
Shen Zhichu's leg was broken, but she was not deaf. She had good hearing and could hear that the person who called Li Jingshen was Xia Mingyue, but she couldn't hear clearly what they said.
Shen Zhichu didn't react at all, but Li Jingshen wasn't discouraged. He had gotten used to Shen Zhichu's cold attitude towards him over the past few weeks. Although he felt bad, when he thought about it carefully, his situation was much better than her previous suicide attempts.
After Li Jingshen left, Mrs. Zhang took the wheelchair and continued to push Shen Zhichu forward. At this time, a nurse walked straight to Shen Zhichu.
"Miss Shen, someone asked me to bring you a message."
Shen Zhichu didn't react much, but Mrs. Zhang beside him was stunned. This situation told her that it was best to pretend that she didn't hear or see it.
Shen Zhichu raised his hand and patted Mrs. Zhang's hand. He spoke for the first time after being silent for ten days. His voice was hoarse: "Mrs. Zhang, please stand away. I want to say a few words to her."
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment: "But..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just stand back and watch me."
"Okay." Mrs. Zhang let go of the wheelchair, walked twenty or thirty steps away, and stopped about ten meters away.
The nurse leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words. Shen Zhichu lowered her eyelashes and trembled slightly, and her hands on her knees shrank immediately.
After the nurse finished speaking, Shen Zhichu spoke without thinking: "I choose 2. Please also help me convey a message to him..."
The nurse's face was filled with surprise when she heard this. She didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to indicate that she remembered. Then she turned around and left without arousing any suspicion.
In the afternoon, the driver sent by Li Jingshen came to pick up Shen Zhichu from the hospital.
Li Jingshen ordered the housekeeper to clean up a room on the first floor so that Shen Zhichu could live there.
Shen Zhichu returned to the villa and moved directly into the bedroom, which was exactly the same as the one he slept in on the second floor.
In the evening, Li Jingshen came back and brought dessert to Shen Zhichu. Shen Zhichu likes sweet things and has always liked all kinds of cakes. Li Jingshen brought her a piece of matcha cake. He carried it into the bedroom with one hand, put it on the table, opened it, and scooped half a spoonful of cake with a small spoon to feed Shen Zhichu: "Do you want to eat it? I asked someone to line up to buy it today. I heard it tastes very good."
Shen Zhichu looked out the window without any reaction until the cake was close to her mouth, then she mechanically opened her mouth and ate it.
The stiff movements made him look like an old, rusty machine. Any movement he made was stuck, and even a piece of cake ended up filling his mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Li Jingshen didn't like sweets, but seeing Shen Zhichu eating made him feel a little hungry. Seeing the cream on her lips, his dark pupils became deeper and deeper. Finally, he leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, and by the way, put the cake stuck there into his mouth.
Very sweet...
Shen Zhichu didn't say anything. She ate as much cake as Li Jingshen fed her. Finally, she choked and lay on the wheelchair, retching.
Li Jingshen's face flickered. He brought water and paper, and finally brought a trash can. There was vomit all over the floor, and it took some time to clean it up.
The feeling of vomiting was not pleasant. Shen Zhichu drank water with his mouth open due to stress. Water flowed out from the corners of his mouth and wet his collar.
Li Jingshen wiped her neck and face with a towel in his hand, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I couldn't take good care of you..."
Li Jingshen touched Shen Zhichu's long hair: "In three months at the latest, your illness will be cured. Shen Zhichu, you said you are already in hell, so I will accompany you in hell. After a long time, you will get used to hell and you won't think it is hell anymore."
"Don't believe anything that happens in these three months." Li Jingshen bent down and took Shen Zhichu to the bed.
…….
There are only three days left before Li Jingshen gets engaged. During these two days, Li Jingshen has become increasingly busy. He comes back very late every day and is rarely seen all day.
The plaster on his hand has been removed and the wound has healed, but the nerves have not recovered. From time to time, he feels a tingling pain in the palm of his left hand, as if being pricked by a needle.
He dug out a scarf from the cabinet and put it around Shen Zhichu's neck. "I learned to knit this scarf in the hospital last winter. I didn't give it to you because the weather had gotten warmer when you woke up."
No one responded to him, and he talked to himself like a psychopath.
Li Jingshen sighed, and a phone call called him away again. Before leaving, he did the same as usual, asking his family to take good care of Shen Zhichu and asking Mrs. Zhang to talk to her more and make her happy.
In fact, Mrs. Zhang tried her best to counsel Shen Zhichu every day. She didn't know how Shen Zhichu's leg was broken. She just heard that he was in a car accident and his leg was disabled. He would have to use a wheelchair in the future and it would never heal.
He was a healthy person. He had personally prepared a pot of tonic and sent it to the hospital for Li Jingshen to drink that day. How could he have gotten into a car accident out of the blue?
Mrs. Zhang has been knitting a sweater recently. Light yellow wool is her daughter's favorite color. The ragdoll cat Niannian looked at it curiously, thinking it was a cat toy. She stretched out her claws to reach the knitting stick, and then played with the ball of wool. The light yellow wool was everywhere.
Nian Nian is playful and fearless, and is a little master in the villa. His favorite thing is to play with Shen Zhichu, but now Shen Zhichu doesn't pay much attention to him. He rolls on the ground, acts coquettishly and cutely in front of Shen Zhichu, licks her hand from time to time, and calls softly in his voice, which makes people's hearts melt.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the tangled wool and felt angry at Niannian. She patted his head and said helplessly, "You...why are you so naughty?"
Mrs. Zhang sorted the wool and put it in a bag that Nian Nian couldn't reach, then massaged Shen Zhichu's legs. "Zhichu, you should be happy while you are alive. After all, whether you are happy or unhappy, you are still alive. So why not make yourself happy and comfortable? If you keep being depressed like this, your condition will only get worse. As the saying goes, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
Chen Zhichu looked at Nian Nian who was rolling around on the carpet with joy, his lips unconsciously moving: "Then tell me how to be happy?"
Mrs. Zhang's nose felt sore, and she sighed silently, lowering her head to prevent Shen Zhichu from seeing the tears in her eyes. It was obviously her who comforted Shen Zhichu, but her eyes would turn red every time. It would be better not to comfort him at all.
Shen Zhichu untied the scarf that Li Jingshen had tied around her neck and threw it on the ground: "A broken rope will always have a knot no matter how you tie it."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
In order to divert her attention, Mrs. Zhang took the remote control and turned on the TV. As luck would have it, the first thing she saw was a news report about Xia Mingyue and Li Jingshen getting engaged.
It was too late for Mrs. Zhang to close the door. In fact, they all knew that Li Jingshen was getting engaged to another woman, only Shen Zhichu didn't know.
"This..." Mrs. Zhang was a little anxious and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to start. After all, the facts were right in front of her. Should she still comfort Shen Zhichu not to be sad?
A good "first wife" has suddenly become a mistress.
"Their engagement party is the day after tomorrow?"
Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything.
Shen Zhichu pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled for the first time in so many days, and murmured: "Engagement... Then prepare an unforgettable engagement ceremony for him."
