Chapter 348 Why am I the only one who lives again?
"Which movie do you want to see of mine? I'll watch it with you."
Shen Zhichu thought about it and finally chose "Champion", which was Bai Qiujing's recently released movie.
The film tells the story of a young man with low IQ but great athletic talent who is spotted by the national table tennis team and wins the championship after overcoming all obstacles.
The plot is simple, but the setting is very good. The market is currently lacking this kind of passionate movie. In addition, Bai Qiujing's acting skills are good. Shen Zhichu, who was not interested in sports themes, watched it with relish. This movie is worth going to the cinema to watch repeatedly. No wonder it ranks first on the movie box office list. It is well deserved.
In the movie, Bai Qiujing plays the role of a fool very vividly. Not only do you not hate him, but you also find him very cute. There are many tear-jerking scenes in the movie.
Shen Zhichu's eyes were reddened by such a scene in the movie.
"Brother, I want to eat candied haws. All the kids in my class have eaten them, except Tiantian. I really want to try some..."
"When I have money, I will buy Tiantian a lot of candied haws."
…
"Brother, are you leaving? Will you come back after you leave? Will you never be able to pick Tiantian up home again? I want you to carry me on your back all the time."
"Brother has to go out and make money. Doesn't Tiantian want to eat candied haws?"
The scene changed, and the brother got in the car. The sister ran after the car. Her short legs stumbled and fell to the ground. She sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I don't want candied haws, I want my brother. Brother, come back and carry Tiantian. Tiantian's feet hurt..."
Shen Zhichu was so moved that her eyelashes were wet and her breathing was trembling. Bai Qiujing noticed her abnormality. In the dim light, Shen Zhichu huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees and curled up.
He had known Shen Zhichu for a short time, but in his impression, Shen Zhichu was very strong-willed. She was fearless in the face of danger on stage, and could not care less about the malice of others. She was calm to an extreme.
Sometimes Bai Qiujing always felt that Shen Zhichu had no emotions and was like a cold-blooded animal.
But at this moment, Shen Zhichu was like the little girl "Tiantian" in the movie, curled up on the side and crying secretly.
Bai Qiujing was not good at coaxing people. He brought water, fruit and tissues to Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu took the tissue.
Bai Qiujing looked at Shen Zhichu silently. The movie was still playing, but neither of them was paying attention to it. He felt that Shen Zhichu had a lot of things hidden in his heart.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I thought of some past events." When Shen Zhichu said this, he looked at Bai Qiujing's face and asked, "What is your relationship with Li Jingshen?"
"He calls my mother aunt. I'm not close to him."
"You grew up in the Bai family?"
Bai Qiujing frowned: "Are you doubting my background?"
"No, I just wondered why I had never seen you before in J City. It's as if you suddenly appeared in the past two years." Shen Zhichu made up an excuse. The two of them were of different classes and levels, so it was normal that they had never met. Besides, Shen Zhichu was in Rongcheng and the Bai family was in J City. They had nothing to do with each other.
Bai Qiujing had no doubts, and he answered Shen Zhichu's questions seriously: "I only returned to China in the past two years. I have been receiving treatment abroad for my heart condition."
"Heart problem?" Shen Zhichu looked at Bai Qiujing eagerly, trying to find some loopholes on his face, but he found nothing.
Bai Qiujing replied: "I was born with a heart disease."
Shen Zhichu suddenly asked: "Have you ever forgotten anything important in your memory?"
"Forgot?" Bai Qiujing shook his head. "My memory is sometimes bad. I don't know if I've ever forgotten anything."
Could Bai Qiujing have lost his memory? Shen Zhichu had been hypnotized by Li Jingshen before, and she had lost all her memories. During that time, she was like an idiot, believing whatever others said.
But Bai Qiujing's situation seemed different from hers.
"Like, have you ever had a broken leg? Have you ever had a gunshot wound?"
"No, I haven't suffered any of these injuries. Why are you asking?"
The loss came in an instant, like being splashed with a basin of cold water in the middle of winter, freezing to the bone. Shen Zhichu stared at the area on his left chest.
"What's wrong with you? Zhichu, do you want to know about my past..."
Shen Zhichu watched Bai Qiujing's lips opening and closing. She suddenly leaned over and touched his face with her right hand, rubbing her thumb against the position of his fangs.
Bai Qiu is a fool, but Bai Qiujing is not.
Bai Qiu is an orphan and has been living in the country, but Bai Qiujing is not.
…
Judging from various manifestations, he is not him, he just looks like him, just like "Shen Qing" looks like "Shen Zhichu".
Is it possible that Bai Qiu's soul was reborn in someone else's body just like him?
But why doesn't he remember her?
Shen Zhichu fell into depression, as if she had stepped into a quagmire. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
I clearly decided not to get close to Bai Qiujing, but I couldn't help but get close to him.
She was so close yet so distant, playing hard to get, giving others hope and then disappointment. Bai Qiujing was really good to her, but she had other thoughts, which made the friendly relationship between them impure.
Bai Qiu...
Bai Qiu...
——"Little crybaby, stop crying. Come on up here and I'll carry you home. I'll give you some candied haws...Little crybaby, you have to find your way home by yourself this time. I can't carry you anymore..."
She wanted to see this face and call her "little crybaby"
The person you have liked since you were seven years old, you can neither get nor forget. You will regret it for the rest of your life, and you will feel regret even when you die.
Shen Zhichu's sudden action made Bai Qiujing freeze. She stared at Shen Zhichu's eyes. There was a sadness in the depths of her eyes. She was looking at him, but it seemed that she was not looking at him.
Her cold hand was placed against his lips, a seemingly intimate gesture that seemed so distant.
Shen Zhichu let go of his hand, shifted his gaze, and rubbed the phone on the sofa. He glanced and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.
"I'm a little sleepy."
"Then go upstairs and rest."
Shen Zhichu stood up. She slept in the second bedroom, and Bai Qiujing's room was next to her.
"How early will you leave tomorrow morning?"
"Seven o'clock."
"I'll give you a ride, where are you going?" Bai Qiujing asked.
Shen Zhichu shook his head: "I can just take a taxi there myself."
Shen Zhichu's eyes didn't allow him to say a few more words. Bai Qiujing nodded and could only ask his assistant to deliver the clothes he bought for Shen Zhichu to the villa overnight.
…
Shen Zhichu got up very early the next day, but she didn't expect Bai Qiujing to get up even earlier than her. When she went downstairs, she saw him sitting on the sofa, and there was fragrance coming from the kitchen.
Bai Qiujing handed the shopping bag on the sofa to Shen Zhichu: "This is a change of clothes for you."
Shen Zhichu took it and took a look. At the bottom was underwear.
"I'll transfer the amount to you."
"No need, consider it a gift to you..."
Shen Zhichu stared at him amusedly: "Giving someone underwear as a gift?"
Bai Qiujing's face flushed visibly, and he stammered, "Just... a few thousand yuan, not expensive."
Although the tags on these clothes have been removed, it is obvious that they were not bought for a few thousand dollars, at least six figures.
Shen Zhichu stretched out his hand: "Give me your phone."
Bai Qiujing handed her the phone in a daze, and Shen Zhichu quickly transferred 100,000 yuan from his bank account to Bai Qiujing's WeChat.
Hearing the sound of the transfer, Bai Qiujing wanted to reach out and rob it, but it was too late. Shen Zhichu pointed and saw that he had already received the 100,000 yuan on WeChat.
"for you."
Bai Qiujing glanced at his phone: "One hundred thousand, how can there be so much?"
"I've seen the world, after all. How could these clothes cost thousands of dollars? And considering how good you are to me, you probably wouldn't buy me clothes worth thousands of dollars. Keep the money. I don't like to owe money."
Bai Qiujing was both moved and sad. He was moved that Shen Zhichu could feel his kindness towards her, but he was sad that Shen Zhichu did not accept his kindness.
Shen Zhichu took the clothes and went back to the room to change into them. They fit her perfectly.
When he came back, Bai Qiujing had already served the porridge. Shen Zhichu drank the porridge and looked at Bai Qiujing carefully. His eyes were bloodshot and there were faint dark circles under his eye sockets.
He didn't get up early, he just didn't sleep all night.
Shen Zhichu had a small appetite in the morning, a typical bird-like stomach, and was full after eating half a bowl of porridge. "I'm leaving."
Bai Qiujing glanced at the time, 6:45. He remained silent, with disappointment in his eyes.
"I'll take you out."
Shen Zhichu did not refuse. Bai Qiujing took the bag on his own initiative, and the two walked to the door to change shoes.
Shen Zhichu had already called an online taxi. At the gate of the villa area, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road with the hazard lights on. Shen Zhichu checked the license plate number.
"The car I called has arrived."
Bai Qiujing stepped forward to go over but was stopped by Shen Zhichu: "You don't have to send me off anymore." She reached out and took the bag that Bai Qiujing had been carrying for her all the way. She smiled at him, her dark eyes sparkling.
Bai Qiujing stood there, wanting to ask her to stay but not knowing how to start. He looked at Shen Zhichu's back as she turned around. She was within reach of him, but he always felt that after Shen Zhichu left, they would never see each other again.
"Can we meet again?" he whispered, pleading cautiously.
"Well, I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance." Shen Zhichu smiled and turned sideways, raised his hand and waved, "Goodbye."
Bai Qiujing stared at her for a while, pulled the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "We agreed that you would treat me to a meal..."
Shen Zhichu got in the car and the final destination of the navigation was Rongcheng Cemetery.
Shen Zhichu glanced at her phone and saw that Bai Qiujing had sent her a text message.
"When you arrive, report that you are safe."
Shen Zhichu simply replied "OK", then returned to the page and clicked on the weather forecast.
During the plum rain season, Rongcheng will have two weeks of rain. The rain started half an hour after we drove, and the weather was foggy. The rain got heavier as time went on, and we encountered several traffic jams in the middle.
The driver turned on the windshield wipers and chatted with Shen Zhichu in a casual manner.
"I think your voice sounds a bit like a celebrity. Hey, what's your name... My memory is so bad, I clearly heard it a few days ago."
Shen Zhichu didn't say anything. With her being blacklisted all over the internet, she was afraid that the driver would abandon her on the road after knowing her name.
The closer Shen Zhichu got to the cemetery, the heavier his mood became, as if he was blocked by a stone.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam in the second half of the journey. It was almost nine o'clock when we arrived at the cemetery. Shen Zhichu got off the car: "Thank you."
The driver was very friendly: "Go slowly, it's raining outside, please keep warm."
Shen Zhichu nodded and closed the door. The driver was about to drive when he suddenly thought of something. He stuck his head out of the window and said to Shen Zhichu, "I remember which celebrity your voice sounds like, that Shen Zhichu... Yes, your voice is as nice as hers." Not to mention, the figure is somewhat similar, but you can't tell because of the mask on her face. However, Shen Zhichu shouldn't call an online taxi to a place like this.
…
Shen Zhichu bought two bouquets of lilies from a shop outside the cemetery.
Holding two bouquets of flowers and carrying a bag, she had no hands to hold an umbrella, so Shen Zhichu simply left the umbrella in the store temporarily and walked into the drizzling rain with her slender figure.
The biggest change was in the cemetery. In the years since she left Chengdu, there were many more tombstones in the cemetery.
Shen Zhichu followed her memory to her parents' grave. She stood there for a long time, the cold rain flowing into her eyes and turning into warmth.
"Dad, Mom, your unfilial daughter has come to see you..." She spoke softly. Her voice was hoarse and light, and it seemed even more ethereal in the sound of rain, and would be blown away by the wind.
The photo on the tombstone had turned yellow and blurry. Shen Zhichu took one look at it and didn't look at it again. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her tears in the rain.
It had been too long... so long that she almost forgot what they looked like.
Chen Zhichu bent her knees and knelt on the ground. She reached out and touched the uneven carvings on the tombstone, suppressing her sadness and putting on a smile.
"Mom, are you doing well in heaven? Have you seen the two adorable children? They are your grandchildren, even though they only stayed in my belly for a few months..."
