Chapter 372 Sorry, She Already Has a Boyfriend
Zhichu Island Amusement Park was built by Li Jingshen for his beloved wife Shen Zhichu. It cost 520 million to buy the island. The amusement park became famous before it was even built.
Li Jingshen invested another 500 million yuan into the project, making it a total project costing 10 billion yuan.
In the three years since Shen Zhichu's death, Li Jingshen has devoted most of his energy to this. He knew that Shen Zhichu liked candied haws, so he asked the designer to add a lot of candied haws design elements.
Shen Zhichu likes sweets, so he designed the amusement park like a candy house in a fairy tale, and added paper stars and paper cranes that Shen Zhichu had folded before.
The entire project took three years to complete. Li Jingshen often came to Chengdu. The places he went to most often were the small villa where he and Shen Zhichu had lived for four years, Aunt Yang's wonton shop, and this amusement park.
He often came at night, when the amusement park was closed and the surroundings were quiet except for the sound of the wind. He would sit under the Ferris wheel and reminisce about the past. Sometimes when he was mentally disturbed, he felt that Shen Zhichu was still by his side and had never left.
……….
Bai Qiujing just randomly picked an amusement park because he liked the name, so he came up with the idea of taking Chen Zhichu there to play. He had no idea what was going on there.
The most commented by netizens is the check-in destination for couples.
"Let's go here, Zhichu Amusement Park, take a look and see if you like it." Bai Qiujing clicked on the picture introducing the amusement park, enlarged it and handed it to Shen Zhichu.
His face was calm, his phoenix eyes were shining, and his lips were slightly pursed, waiting for Shen Zhichu's answer. However, this was only on the surface. Although he seemed calm, the tips of his ears in his hair kept moving.
He waited for Shen Zhichu's answer. He wanted to go on a date with her, have dinner with her, and if possible... coax her to go home with him.
Home is the most beautiful word in the world. I want to take you home with me, back to our home.
He had prepared all the extra door keys. As long as Shen Zhichu nodded, he would carefully hang the key around her neck and record the fingerprints of the door as well.
His thoughts went so smoothly that he couldn't help but feel excited, his heart surged, and his imagination ran wild.
The first step is always the hardest, and the waiting process is also very long. A second seems to be dragged on to a minute. Bai Qiujing's Adam's apple and stomach fluttered, and his breathing slowed down. He was like a wolfdog holding the leash in his mouth, waiting for his owner to take him for a walk.
Shen Zhichu initially thought he was mistaken until he saw the location shown on the map.
Zhichu Island was originally called Nanshui Island, but Li Jingshen changed its name after he bought the island.
She remembered that Li Jingshen had asked her in front of reporters if she was touched.
When Shen Zhichu thought of the funny scene at that time, a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Everything in this world is interconnected, and every cause has its effect.
What Li Jingshen said in the media that year made Lu Tingchuan mistakenly believe that she knew about the mine on Nanshui Island.
All ten of her fingers were crippled, and she had hundreds of wounds from head to toe. Bai Qiu's body was also mutilated.
Hate?
How can I not hate it?
After four or five years of marriage, Li Jingshen didn't give her much. The ring was not suitable. He said that giving Nanshui Island under her name was just to use her to divert his attention.
He only used her from the beginning to the end. Even though she was covered in bruises, she could not get any sincerity from him.
"I hate this place." I hate the people who built this amusement park even more.
Bai Qiujing didn't expect that after waiting for such a long time, the result he got was actually Shen Zhichu's dislike.
He put down his phone awkwardly: "Then we..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Zhichu: "I said I don't like this place. It has nothing to do with you. I won't go to the amusement park. It's late now and there's nothing fun to do. Besides, I have a cat with me."
What does it mean when things get dark and dark, there’s always a silver lining? This is it!
Shen Zhichu didn't like the amusement park, but she explained it specifically for him.
——"I don't like this place. It has nothing to do with you."
It has nothing to do with him that she doesn't like the amusement park, so to round it off, does that mean she likes him?
The corners of Bai Qiujing's mouth couldn't stop rising, he could hardly hold it back. Shen Zhichu was confused watching his Sichuan Opera face-changing expression.
She found that Bai Qiujing was particularly emotional. He would be depressed one second and become a puppy holding a bone the next.
In fact, being stared at by Bai Qiujing's inky eyes is very stressful, and it is difficult to ignore him.
"You're not going to the amusement park, but it's still early. Are you going home?"
If Chen Zhichu wanted to go home, he would drive her back. Maybe she could get in and delay for a while until night, and maybe she would stay overnight.
It is not necessary for Shen Zhichu to go home with him, it is also possible for him to go back to her home with her.
Shen Zhichu pondered for a while and said, "There's a park nearby where we can go sit."
"OK."
In Rongcheng, Shen Zhichu was definitely more familiar with it than Bai Qiujing, but what she didn't know was that in the three years since her death, this ordinary park had become a blind date corner.
As soon as Shen Zhichu entered, he found something wrong. He was surrounded by old men and women, a group of strangers gathered together, discussing their children, grandchildren or granddaughters.
"What does your daughter do?"
"She's just an ordinary designer. She recently got that certificate, and her boss gave her a raise. Where's your son?"
“My son is still in graduate school.”
"You're still studying, so it must cost a lot of money, right?"
"If he can study, then let him study. He earns his tuition fees himself. We don't care about him."
"Well then, do you have a girlfriend?"
"If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't be here. I'm already 25 or 26, and there's no news at all. I'm completely absorbed in my books. Do you think reading can lead to having children? Boys still have to start a family first before they have a sense of responsibility. Only then will they have pressure on their backs. How old is your daughter this year?"
"Twenty-seven."
"Older than my son? But I think my sister is quite compatible. Is your daughter interested in finding someone younger than her?"
"That depends on what she means."
"Don't worry, my son has a house, a 140-square-meter, three-bedroom apartment in the West District. It's not good for my daughter to marry far away. If she really has any difficulties, it will be difficult to ask for help. And it will be troublesome to come back during the New Year holiday."
"That's what I thought, that's why I came here to see if there's anyone suitable to introduce to my daughter."
…….
As Shen Zhichu walked in, all he could hear were conversations like this.
Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared. They wore masks to disguise themselves, but their height and figure, coupled with their natural temperament, made it impossible to ignore them.
"Are you two here for a blind date?" the aunt came over and asked casually.
Bai Qiujing's face, hidden behind the mask, became hot. He glanced at Shen Zhichu beside him and saw her shaking her head calmly.
Chen Zhichu's eyelashes are very long. When he lowers his eyes, they look like a small palm-leaf fan, making people want to rub them with their hands. He resisted the urge to rub them.
Unexpectedly, when the aunt saw Shen Zhichu shaking his head, her eyes lit up.
"I see, you must be brother and sister, the brother is here with the sister to find a partner?" The aunt rubbed her hands together, like a wolf seeing a sheep, and quickly glanced up and down at Shen Zhichu.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I could tell she was a beauty by looking at her exposed eyes. She had good skin and a decent height, like a fair, rich and beautiful woman.
"Girl, I know you are single as soon as I see you. Are you interested in finding a boyfriend? My son is amazing..." The aunt didn't think about it in other directions. Since they were not here for a blind date, they were even less likely to be a couple. After all, which couple would come to the blind date corner for a date? Wouldn't that make them hateful?
It was the first time that Shen Zhichu encountered such a situation. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse the aunt's kindness when Bai Qiujing grabbed her right hand.
"Sorry auntie, she already has a boyfriend."
After Bai Qiujing finished speaking, he grabbed Shen Zhichu's hand and walked to the other side where there were fewer people without waiting for the aunt to react. If you took off his mask at this moment, you would definitely see that his face was flushed because of nervousness, and his dark eyes were like a pool of water.
Are girls' hands this small? They're so soft, I want to hold them forever.
Shen Zhichu was forced to follow his pace. Bai Qiujing was too tall, and when he took big strides, Shen Zhichu had to jog to keep up.
She has been exercising recently, getting up early and running for an hour as a basic routine. She doesn't feel tired, but she is afraid of bumping into Nian Nian who is on her back.
"Okay, no one's chasing us, why are you walking so fast?"
Bai Qiujing subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Zhichu's face.
He belatedly pinched the back of Shen Zhichu's hand and didn't want to let go.
Shen Zhichu looked at their hands holding together. She moved her fingers and Bai Qiujing let go.
"Let's find a place to sit for a while."
Bai Qiujing nodded. This time he slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Shen Zhichu, his eyes constantly glancing at her profile.
The two of them sat in an empty pavilion. Chen Zhichu put Nian Nian down, opened the bag and let it out.
He rarely goes out. He is timid and doesn't like to get close to people. His limbs will tremble at the slightest movement.
As soon as Shen Zhichu held it in her arms, it clung to her arms.
"Can I hold it?"
This is the first time someone asked if they could hug it after it has taken Nian Nian out for so many times.
Nian Nian has a very strong sense of self-esteem. After realizing that she had become ugly, she became very timid and was no longer as lively and friendly as before.
It could feel the way those people looked at it, not with the love they had in the past, but with disgust, nausea, or even pity.
In its heart, it doesn't need anyone else, as long as Chen Zhichu can accompany it.
When it heard Bai Qiujing's voice, its ears moved first, but its head was still buried in Shen Zhichu's arms.
"It depends on whether it's willing or not. You can try to coax it."
Coax? Coaxing is what he is worst at. He can't even coax a person, so how can he coax a cat?
Shen Zhichu opened the cat bag and took out the snacks he usually ate every year from the interlayer: "Try this."
Bai Qiujing took it and looked expectantly at Nian Nian who was hiding in Shen Zhichu's arms: "Nian Nian, I have some delicious snacks here. Come out quickly and stop hiding in your mother's arms."
Bai Qiujing was very patient. If sitting didn't work, he would stand. If standing didn't work, he would squat. Finally, he bent over and put his face close to Nian Nian's back.
This distance was very close to Shen Zhichu, he could almost smell her fragrance and hear her breathing.
Five minutes passed in a flash, and Nian Nian still didn't respond. Finally, Shen Zhichu touched its head and said, "Don't be afraid. This person really likes you. Do you want to take a look?"
With Shen Zhichu's comfort, Nian Nian quietly poked her head out of Shen Zhichu's arms, and Bai Qiujing's face was reflected in her cat pupils.
He took off his mask and smiled gently, looking as handsome as Shen Zhichu. Most importantly, his gaze was not filled with disgust and pity like others.
Niannian took a look and then retracted its head into the crook of Shen Zhichu's lower limbs, but unlike before, its body was no longer trembling, and it was not as nervous as before.
"Have I failed?"
"Wait." Chen Zhichu gently hugged Nian Nian and turned to face Bai Qiujing. This time Nian Nian did not dodge.
"Try it, touch it, if it doesn't hide you can hug it."
Bai Qiujing slowly stretched out his hand and placed it to the tip of Nianniandu's nose as if waiting for it to get used to his scent. After a while, he touched its furry little head.
He moved with such caution as if he was treating a fragile treasure. He almost held his breath during the whole process. When he saw that Nian Nian didn't hide, Bai Qiujing couldn't help but smile, revealing his fangs.
“It didn’t hide.”
