Chapter 390 The Pain of Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan
This was the first time Shen Zhichu saw a post about himself being quickly deleted.
Chen Zhichu held Nian Nian in one hand, her fingers unconsciously touching the tag on its neck. After a while, her phone vibrated and an unfamiliar text message appeared on her screen.
"Chen Zhichu, I never thought of using you as a substitute again. Stay with me, I can protect you. Li Jingshen is a cruel and ruthless person. If you want to live a better life in the future, you'd better stay away from him. He is a lunatic."
Shen Zhichu frowned as he read through it, then subconsciously clicked on the reply button.
"With your mother." His fingers landed on the keyboard, he paused, and finally deleted them one by one. There was nothing much to say to someone like Lu Tingchuan. Shen Zhichu deleted the text message content, blocked the person directly, and edited a self-made system notification tone.
Meanwhile, Lu Tingchuan had been waiting for a reply from Shen Zhichu. He thought he had made his point clear enough, and the little village girl should understand. But after waiting for half an hour, there was still no reply from Shen Zhichu. Could it be that she hadn't seen the message? Or was she just afraid?
Lu Tingchuan edited another text message and sent it.
"As long as you come back to me honestly, I can forgive everything you did, including the time you held hands with Bai today."
The text message fell on deaf ears after it was sent. Lu Tingchuan realized something was wrong and immediately exited the text message page and called Shen Zhichu.
After the call was connected, a cold system prompt tone came from inside.
——Sorry, the person you dialed is calling you an idiot, please don’t call again...
"Bang!" Lu Tingchuan smashed the phone directly. "Shen Qing, Shen Qing! You are really good! This substitute is becoming more and more like the real one. With this rebellious nature, he will have to turn back sooner or later."
Lu Tingchuan was not satisfied, and the phone call prompt kept echoing in his mind.
As if Shen Zhichu was pointing at his nose and scolding him right in front of him, he stood up and kicked over the coffee table in front of him, picked up a vase and smashed it to pieces.
The housekeeper heard the noise and hurried over, and was shocked to see the debris on the ground.
In the eyes of the servants, Lu Tingchuan was known for his good temper and always had a smile on his face. He had never won a fight with Li Jingshen, and his face was covered with bruises, making him look pitiful.
So, when the butler saw this scene and looked into Lu Tingchuan's bloodshot eyes, he froze in place, feeling terrified.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu...what's wrong with you?"
Lu Tingchuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. After three seconds, he smiled again. "I'm fine. Please arrange for someone to clean up here. I'm going to the study to work. Don't disturb me."
"Yes." The housekeeper nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief after watching Lu Tingchuan enter the study.
Lu Tingchuan's anger had not completely dissipated, it was just blocked by a sealed hole. He sat gloomily in front of the computer at the desk, flipping through the documents casually but couldn't concentrate on reading them.
As soon as he was distracted for a moment, his mind was filled with the image of Bai Qiujing taking Shen Zhichu away.
How did Shen Zhichu know Bai Qiujing? The difference in their status was so great that it was unimaginable that they could have interacted.
Lu Tingchuan couldn't help but think about more things, such as where Bai Qiujing took Shen Zhichu today, whether they would go to a hotel, have dinner together, stay in the same room, take a shower and then sleep in each other's arms, doing things he had never done before.
Could it be that the little village girl has fallen in love with him? She let him hold her hand and followed him.
How could this be possible?!
Lu Tingchuan remained calm, and the information in his hand had been involuntarily twisted into a ball. By the time he reacted, it was so wrinkled that it was unusable. He glanced at it casually and threw it to the ground.
…….
Besides Lu Tingchuan, Li Jingshen was also trapped in this kind of pain and unable to sleep tonight. He didn't even dare to send a text message and could only look back on his past with Shen Zhichu.
Looking at the diary stained with tears and blood, he didn't want to be so greedy, but he couldn't bear to see the Shen Zhichu who once filled his heart and eyes be filled with other men from now on.
He doesn't ask for much, just a year of companionship.
Shen Zhichu casually said today, does a half-hour chat fee of 100,000 yuan count? If he gave her all his money, could she accompany him well?
The night wind was a little chilly, and he held the yellowed diary carefully against his heart.
Li Jingshen used to be in very good health and rarely caught a cold, but now, in addition to lung cancer, his stomach is also not in good condition.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should take the medicine for lung cancer or the stomach medicine. He covered his chest and felt as if the organs inside were pierced by dense thumbtacks. The pain was everywhere, but he couldn't even vent it. He bent his upper body, and his tall body curled up on the narrow chair, his body shaking with pain. Li Jingshen was very good at enduring the pain and swallowing it down. No matter how painful it was, he would purse his lips and remain silent.
Until he couldn't bear it anymore, he opened his mouth and spat out blood.
Sticky blood dripped from his mouth onto the floor. He wiped it skillfully with his hand, then got up and went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet and rinse with cold water, then covered his mouth with a wet towel.
His internal organs felt like they were riddled with holes and the pain was horrible. Li Jingshen's eyes were blurred with tears. Before he knew it, he began to miss the past Shen Zhichu, the one who prepared meals for him every day in his diary, reminded him to put on more clothes when it was cold, and knitted him a scarf in winter. When he missed him, he would secretly draw his pictures and fold his wishes into paper stars and paper cranes.
When people feel pain or suffer from neurasthenia, they can't help but miss the past and regret it.
If only Shen Zhichu could cook him a bowl of noodles at this time.
If only he could remind him to take care of his health.
Even if it is useless, at least he will not regret it for the rest of his life.
Li Jingshen took a few painkillers.
After a while, the severe pain subsided, but my chest and stomach were still uncomfortable, with throbbing pains, and even my head started to feel uncomfortable.
He came out of the environment and saw Shen Zhichu in a daze. The eldest daughter of the Shen family who used to wear a red dress and was proud was standing in front of him.
It was very real, but Li Jingshen knew it was just a dream, and if it was a dream, then he shouldn't wake up.
"Zhichu..." My stomach hurts so much. I want to eat the food you cook. If you find it troublesome, just cook some porridge.
"Zhi Chu..." I will never smoke again, and I will never hit you with an ashtray again.
"Zhi Chu..." I'm dying, can you look at me again?
“Chen Zhichu….”
"Zhi Chu..."
"early…….."
In the dream, Shen Zhichu did nothing. She just looked at him coldly: "Li Jingshen has been burned to death in the fire. I will never do these things for you again. From now on, you will go your way on the sunny road, and I will cross my Naihe Bridge. We will never meet again."
During the three years since Shen Zhichu's death, he didn't dare to dream about her, fearing that they would no longer be destined to be together after dreaming about her three times.
Now that Shen Zhichu is back, he can finally dream about her.
He thought that dreaming about Shen Zhichu would be a good dream, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be a nightmare in the end. He was trapped in the dream with nowhere to escape, like being soaked in a water cellar with a piercing pain, and the pain was unbearable.
But the scene before his eyes was a sea of fire. Shen Zhichu, wearing a red dress, stood in the fire and smiled at him.
Li Jingshen woke up from a nightmare. He got up and looked for his cell phone first, then found the number that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.
He clicked on it, hesitated for a long time, and then typed with trembling hands and sent a text message to Shen Zhichu.
"I miss you."
He never thought that Shen Zhichu would reply to his text message. He might even block his number after recognizing it was him.
Li Jingshen continued to tremble his hands: "I dreamed of you today. It was you in the past, who was even more beautiful than you are now. You haven't smiled at me for a long time, so long that I almost forgot what you looked like when you smiled."
At this moment, Shen Zhichu... should be facing others with a smile on his face. Her gentleness and concern no longer belong to him.
Only he... was still reminiscing about the past.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw that Christmas Eve again. The hazy figure in the water swam towards him eagerly. She was so thin and her arms were so slender, but she held him tightly in the water.
The scene changed, and he was holding the pregnant Shen Zhichu and throwing her down from the second floor. The blood on the ground was glaring red.
Shen Zhichu opened his mouth with difficulty and uttered a word: "Li Jingshen, you are so cruel..." He was sad and desperate.
From that moment on, Shen Zhichu began to distance himself further and further from him.
He clicked on his phone countless times, but there was no reply from Shen Zhichu.
He somehow clicked on Weibo and searched for Shen Zhichu's name. Her updates were still the same few ones and had not been updated. He then searched for Bai Qiujing's.
Bai Qiujing updated a new dynamic, a photo of two dishes and a soup, with the text "delicious"
Li Jingshen recognized it at a glance as a dish made by Shen Zhichu, because Shen Zhichu had made such home-cooked dishes for him countless times before, with the colors and presentation exactly the same. He could smell the fragrance just by looking at the photo.
Li Jingshen covered his wet face, Shen Zhichu cooked for another man.
It’s still Bai Qiujing.
He clearly told him that it was Bai Qiujing's, not Bai Qiu's, but Shen Zhichu was still with him. Fate was something that was determined from the beginning.
The right person will eventually be met after going around in circles, and the wrong person will eventually be separated after meeting. Time never speaks, but it is the best answer.
Li Jingshen was unwilling to accept this.
That year, he exchanged Shen Zhichu for Xia Mingyue's safety.
Shen Zhichu questioned him: Ask him if he is afraid that she will be bullied by the kidnappers.
His answer at the time was that he didn't mind. If those people really did something to her, he would kill them and would not despise her at all.
When Li Jingshen thought of what he said at that time, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Don't mind? How could he not mind? How could he have the nerve to say such a thing?
