Chapter 349 Don’t be afraid, Mom is here
"Mom." Shen Zhichu looked at the gentle woman smiling in the photo, sniffed, and said with a strong nasal tone: "I really want to see you. I thought I could see you after I died, but I didn't expect that I would live my whole life again. Why did I come back to life, but you didn't?"
Why was she the only one who came back to life?
Is it that even after death, they still don't want her?
Shen Zhichu reached out and carefully wiped the photo on the tombstone. The woman in the photo had a gentle smile, and her smile was picturesque.
She put her arms around the tombstone, curled up, and rested her head on the photo, like a child keeping warm in her mother's arms.
"Mom, it would be great if you could hug me..." Shen Zhichu opened his mouth, and it felt like a blade was stuck in his throat. The sound he made pulled at the flesh and blood wound, tearing it in pain.
Shen Zhichu's nose turned red, she bit her lips tightly and cried helplessly.
She missed her mother so much, from childhood to adulthood. She wanted her mother's hug, her mother's kiss, she wanted her mother to sing to her sleep, she wanted to hear these words when she was most helpless and desperate.
——"Don't be afraid, Chuchu. Mom is here."
Chen Zhichu couldn't even cry anymore. His eyes were sore and dry. The tears had dried up deep in his eyes, and his eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
"Mom and Dad, I won't let anyone bully me anymore. I won't make the same mistake again. I have the ability to protect myself and I won't throw away my pride and self-esteem again."
As she spoke, Shen Zhichu sobbed, with bitterness on the corners of her mouth. She put down her hand, turned to another tombstone, kowtowed deeply to it, and her forehead hit the concrete floor, leaving a red mark.
She seemed not to feel any pain, and kowtowed harder and harder each time until she had kowtowed six times before stopping.
"Dad, you must protect Mom well down there."
She wanted to be her daughter in the next life, but if being her daughter meant exchanging one life for another, then she would rather she never appear in her life.
The weather in Chengdu is very strange. It rains when the sun is out. The sun shines through the dark clouds, and the edges of the clouds are golden. However, no matter how big the sun is, it cannot warm up this gloomy and cold place.
The cemetery was very quiet, with only the sound of raindrops and birdsong. Shen Zhichu raised his head, and the originally icy rain became softer, and it no longer felt dazzling when it fell into his eyes.
Shen Zhichu sat by the tomb in the drizzle for an hour, her body already soaked. Her body was very similar to her previous life, both of them were afraid of the cold and weak. Shen Zhichu staggered to her feet and swayed in the wind.
Shen Zhichu returned to the store to get an umbrella. Seeing that she was soaked, the owner said worriedly, "I thought you forgot to take your umbrella. Look at how wet you are. Wipe yourself off with a towel."
"Thank you, but no thanks." She reached out and touched her wet clothes. They were soaked from the inside out and it would be better if she didn't wear them.
Fortunately, Bai Qiujing bought her some clothes to change into.
"Boss, can I use your bathroom?"
"Okay, go in and turn left to the first room."
Shen Zhichu went in with the bag, changed his wet clothes, thanked the boss, and left the store with the umbrella and bag.
As soon as she left the store, Shen Zhichu saw a car coming towards her at the turning. The headlights flickered and the high beams fell on her.
Shen Zhichu narrowed her eyes, holding the umbrella and leaning forward to block the car lights, which also blocked her sight. The sound of the engine was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped not far from her.
The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella covered the sound of footsteps.
Chen Zhichu held the umbrella with the umbrella tilted back. She looked up at the black Hummer four meters away from her. The door opened and Li Jingshen's pale face came into view.
He walked down in a dark shirt and trousers, his obsidian eyes fixed on Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu's face darkened. How could Li Jingshen have the nerve to come here!
Thinking of the past, Shen Zhichu clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms without her noticing. Resentment filled her emotions, making it difficult to control. She could only purse her lips and curl them stiffly, pretending that she didn't care.
Li Jingshen didn't hold an umbrella and got out of the car directly into the rain. His black pupils were deep with obsession, nostalgia, the surprise of regaining what was lost, and the fantasy of reconciliation.
He walked closer to Shen Zhichu and took the tiny hair tie from his finger: "Shen Zhichu, look, I found it, I found the hair tie you threw into the river."
Shen Zhichu stood still, watching Li Jingshen approach her step by step, and finally stand in front of her.
She still looked up when she looked at him, but this man had lost the qualification to be superior.
Shen Zhichu looked at him quietly for two seconds, and finally met his eyes and moved his lips gently: "So?"
"Didn't you say you would forgive me if I found this hair tie?"
"Do you really take it seriously?" Shen Zhichu sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
Li Jingshen's expression became stiff and slow at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. His pupils slowly shrank into pinholes. He stubbornly believed that Shen Zhichu would not lie to him and repeated it again, as if to confirm the facts.
"You said that as long as I jump into the river and find the hair rope you threw in, I can come to see you and you will forgive me... right?"
"Li Jingshen, have you ever seen summer cicadas chirping in winter?"
