Chapter 324 The Three Years After Shen Zhichu's Death
Li Jingshen looked at the car that was going away, and his heart suddenly felt empty. How could there be such similar eyes in the world? Even the look in her eyes when she looked at him was exactly the same as in her dream. Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.
Zhao Qian ran to his side breathlessly: "Boss Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Jingshen murmured, “I just saw Shen Zhichu.”
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the scene just now: "You said that the woman who entered the elevator just now was Shen Zhichu?"
Li Jingshen didn't say anything, which meant he agreed.
The woman who entered the elevator covered her face tightly with a mask, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Zhao Qian didn't know how Li Jingshen recognized that it was Shen Zhichu.
Besides, Shen Zhichu died three years ago. He was burned to death on Christmas Day when it snowed heavily. They all knew it.
"Boss Li, she's been dead for three years. It's impossible for you to see her again."
Of course he knew that Shen Zhichu was dead. It was he who placed Shen Zhichu's body in the crystal coffin with his own hands. He also verified 76 DNA tests, and every one of them was hers. It was real and cruel.
But just now, with that glimpse in the elevator, he felt that Shen Zhichu was back again.
Looking at those eyes, he couldn't help but recall the painful three years when he had lived a life worse than death.
Every night when he woke up, he would dream of his past with Shen Zhichu. He would see her painful struggle in the operating room, the dead baby being delivered from her belly, her twisted legs broken when she fell from the car, and her struggle before death leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window in the fire... These were undoubtedly reminders of his grave sins.
Zhao Qian reminded him from time to time that it was already in the past, but he was the only one who knew that it was impossible to get over it...
In order to punish him for not being able to judge people well, Shen Zhichu asked Lu Tingchuan to set himself on fire.
In the past three years, he has either been guarding a lonely grave or gazing at the sea.
When Li Jingshen thought of this, tears welled up in his eyes. With red eyes, he stood on the street and watched the car disappear.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. He stood there alone, like the last kid in line waiting for someone to pick him up after school in kindergarten.
"Her eyes are very similar to Shen Zhichu's. They are so similar that for a moment I thought she was looking at me."
"There are many people in this world who look alike. Mr. Li, over the past two years, many people have tried to surround themselves with women who look like Shen Zhichu, but you know they're just resemblances, and they're not her."
Zhao Qian was always the most direct and sharp in his words, hitting him right in the ribs.
Yes, they are not Shen Zhichu, at most they look similar... A year ago, Lu Tingchuan had pushed a woman next to him, who looked 50% like Shen Zhichu, even their names were changed to the same.
But that doesn't matter, just because they look like her and have the same name... they are not her.
In order to punish him, Shen Zhichu died in despair.
“It would be nice if there were rebirth and soul possession in this world.”
Zhao Qian shook his head helplessly. Li Jingshen was going crazy again with his wild thoughts.
"Boss Li, Boss Zhao and the others have already arrived at the upstairs box and are asking when we will arrive."
Li Jingshen turned around, and his whole body returned to his previous cold and unapproachable appearance, but if you look closely, you can find that there is fatigue and haggardness in the depths of his eyes.
Li Jingshen went upstairs to discuss cooperation. He was methodical at work, and only at this time did he give people the feeling that he was still alive.
After finishing work at five o'clock in the afternoon, he returned to the villa on the island, which was decorated according to Shen Zhichu's preferences.
Three years can completely wipe out a person's existence, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot retain any trace of her.
Even the sofa where Shen Zhichu once lay became unfamiliar.
Li Jingshen sat dejectedly on the sofa, looking at the photo on the coffee table. It was a photo of Shen Zhichu, which he had been looking for for a long time.
There were photos of Shen Zhichu in every corner of the house, from childhood to adulthood. There were photos of him sleeping with his eyes closed at one month old, and his adorable appearance blowing bubbles of saliva at one hundred days old, and photos of him drawing lots at his first birthday, attending elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college...
It started as a photo of one person, then turned into a group photo, and then turned back into a photo of one person.
Li Jingshen touched the outline of the photo, as if he was rubbing against Shen Zhichu's face through the photo. He held the photo and said to himself: "I saw someone today, her eyes are really similar to yours... like when you hated me for not loving me..."
"You said it's been a long time since I saw you smile, and even in my dreams you never forgave me." A drop of water fell on the mirror frame.
Li Jingshen quickly took out a tissue and wiped it gently, as if he was treating a fragile treasure.
The person I didn't cherish during his lifetime is now facing a lifeless photo frame after his death.
In the photo, Shen Zhichu is wearing a school uniform, with the sun shining on her head and smiling brightly. At that time, the dimples on the corners of Shen Zhichu's mouth were sweet.
He almost forgot that Shen Zhichu had been happy before.
Li Jingshen touched his jacket pocket and took out a cigarette which fell to the ground. He looked down at it. The cigarette was given to him by his partner today, and he casually put it in his pocket.
Seeing it at this moment, he suddenly wanted to take a few puffs, so he picked it up, rubbed it with his fingertips, and after a while, he crushed it and threw it into the trash can.
Shen Zhichu doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so seeing him smoking will definitely not appear in his dreams.
After Shen Zhichu's death, Zhao Qian had to arrange his daily routine. He was responsible for his meals and reminded him to sleep, for fear that he would ruin his health if he was not careful.
Zhao Qian ordered dinner, which included two dishes and a soup. Li Jingshen ate alone but had two serving bowls of food placed on his plate.
He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in the bowl. After carefully picking out the fish bones, he subconsciously reached for the bowl next to him: "The fish bones have been picked out. Here is your favorite belly meat..."
After the chopsticks holding the fish were handed over, he suddenly came to his senses. The person who loved to eat fish belly meat was long gone, but some habits were engraved in his memory, and he still remembered them even after three years.
He lowered his head and smiled, tears of laughter coming out. He carefully placed the fish into the bowl next to him, then picked up another piece of fish and ate it.
The mixed tears were slowly chewed and swallowed in the throat, and the stomach was full of bitterness.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Li Jingshen, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but think of Chen Zhichu, thinking about him so much that he felt heartbroken and wanted to vomit blood.
His nerves had been disturbed for two years, he would occasionally split and go crazy...
Every room in the villa was lit, because he knew Shen Zhichu was afraid of the dark, and he wanted her to be able to see the lights waiting for her to come home.
Maybe she will come back...
The dishes were placed in the kitchen and washed every day. Li Jingshen snuggled up on the sofa for a while, holding Shen Zhichu's photo frame.
He looked up when he heard a "bang bang" sound on the stairs.
In addition to him, there is also an ugly cat in this villa. The ugly cat is Nian Nian who was held in Shen Zhichu's arms and called "what a big cub" that year.
