Chapter 506 Let’s Make a Bet
He hadn't even had the chance to prove himself in his own way? Was he going to give in?
I'm not willing to accept this... I really am not willing to accept this...
He loved Shen Zhichu to the extreme, and he couldn't feel at ease leaving her to anyone.
Li Jingshen is a very cautious person in his bones. He can't even trust his back to others, let alone give away his beloved.
After living for so many years, the only person who stayed with him the longest was Zhao Qian. He really failed to keep any of the people he wanted to keep in his life.
His parents died in front of him, and Shen Zhichu also left him.
Li Jingshen sometimes felt like a fish that had been caught ashore, being toyed with by fate, with the hook stuck in his gills. As long as he didn't remove it, even if he returned to the water, even if he swam far, he would return to the starting point after going around in circles.
Li Jingshen raised his hand and touched the burn on his left chest. It had been four or five years since the injury, and the burn had not subsided at all. The injury had obviously healed long ago, but now it suddenly hurt again, as if a knife had pierced his heart directly.
Aside from being sick, the burning pain I feel now doesn't really exist.
Li Jingshen knew clearly that this was not the life he wanted, but it was what he asked for.
When a person becomes so lonely that he has nothing to say and cannot even tell others about his sorrow, in the end even his shadow will leave, let alone the person he is thinking of.
Li Jingshen didn't want to accept his fate, but he had to. In the face of death, everything was meaningless.
He wanted to do one last thing, make a bet. If he won, it would be the last thing he did for Shen Zhichu. If he lost, he would let it go...completely.
It's not that he doesn't trust Bai Qiujing. Bai Qiujing saved his life. What he doesn't trust is the Bai family. He also doesn't believe that Bai Qiujing can resist when the critical moment comes.
Li Jingshen propped himself up slightly, took the phone on the cabinet and made a call.
"As I said before, take action. I want to see results within three months."
…….
Shen Zhichu stayed with Bai Qiujing until the day's medicine drips were finished, and then she could relax for a short while.
She held Bai Qiujing's hand and lay on the bed with her eyes closed. The nurse came in and saw her lying like that. She thought her neck and waist must be unable to bear it, so she woke her up.
“Miss Shen, why don’t you lie down for a while? You don’t have to keep looking at him. I’m afraid your body can’t bear it.”
Caregivers in the hospital could go get a temporary bed and quilt, but Shen Zhichu didn't go because she had no intention of lying down and sleeping soundly.
Shen Zhichu shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'll take a nap."
It's not like this before when she was under a lot of work pressure. She could even endure the pain of being burned to death, let alone now.
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the nurse stopped trying and went to get a blanket for Chen Zhichu, fearing that he would catch a cold.
"Cover yourself with this, and don't catch a cold."
Shen Zhichu stood up and thanked her, then took the blanket from the nurse with both hands.
The quilt was placed aside but she didn't cover herself with it. It wasn't cold at the moment because of the air conditioning in the hospital, not to mention that she was wearing Bai Qiujing's coat.
Shen Zhichu leaned against the back of the chair, his neck stiff, and finally he lay down on the edge of the bed with his head resting on his hands.
Not long after she closed her eyes, her consciousness became blurred and she felt someone gently touching her head.
She was lightly sleepy and immediately opened her eyes. Bai Qiujing's hand had landed on her head and was stroking it gently, soothing the uneasiness in her heart.
Chen Zhichu raised his neck and looked into Bai Qiujing's gentle gaze. His previously gray eyes were now like the mist blown away, revealing the countless stars inside.
Seeing Bai Qiujing wake up, Shen Zhichu was not as excited as she had imagined. She was very calm, so calm that she could feel the rhythm of her heartbeat.
When Bai Qiujing entered the emergency room, from the moment she signed the surgical agreement, she had made two preparations: waiting for Bai Qiujing to wake up, and if he couldn't wake up, she would sleep with him.
She had expected Bai Qiujing to wake up, not only because of Qin Mo's comfort, but also because she believed in her heart that Bai Qiujing would not be willing to leave her alone.
"Are you thirsty?" Shen Zhichu asked.
Bai Qiujing opened his mouth, but his throat was too dry to speak, so he could only nod slightly.
Shen Zhichu quickly stood up and took a glass of water. After testing the temperature to make sure it was not hot, he carefully scooped it into Bai Qiujing's mouth with a spoon and watched his Adam's apple roll as he slowly drank it.
Shen Zhichu fed him very slowly, fearing that he would choke on the water.
Bai Qiujing drank a whole glass of water, and the glass was empty.
"Still thirsty?"
Bai Qiujing shook his head, looking at the bloodshot in her eyes. He tried to open his mouth and ask, "Why don't you go to bed? Does your neck hurt? Are your feet cold?"
Shen Zhichu said: "It doesn't hurt, nor is it cold. You can't risk your life to do such a thing in the future."
"What's up?"
"For example, this time, you just woke up from surgery and ran all the way to find me..."
"That won't work. If I don't go find you, what if you get bullied?" Bai Qiujing raised the corner of his lips. He missed Shen Zhichu too much. When he was still a fool, he knew that Li Jingshen treated Shen Zhichu badly but he could do nothing.
Shen Zhichu was bullied in corners where he couldn't see her. He was called a money-loser by his father, tricked by his brother into selling him in a casino, beaten, and humiliated by passers-by... He suffered from depression, lost two children, was tortured by Lu Tingchuan, and finally died in a fire with both legs broken.
The person he had kept in his heart for so many years was bullied time and time again. He felt heartbroken at the thought of anything. He simply couldn't imagine how Shen Zhichu had managed to survive until the age of 27 in his previous life.
So, in this life, he found her and swore that he would never let anyone bully him.
So when he learned that Shen Zhichu was facing the media alone, he supported his aching body and kept calling her name. No matter how far away she was, he would find her and support her.
So-called love is like a mouth ulcer. You know it hurts, but you still can't help but push it with the tip of your tongue. Life is bright, but also salty and fishy.
Bai Qiujing didn't say everything in his heart, but Shen Zhichu understood. She grabbed his hand and held it gently, "We agreed that we'll get married when you recover and are discharged from the hospital. We can't put it off any longer..."
Bai Qiujing asked: "Do you regret leaving the entertainment industry?"
"I don't regret it. I wanted to quit a long time ago. I'm not suitable for the entertainment industry. I just want to fulfill Shen Qing's last wish."
Let those who hurt Shen Qing get retribution and regret, clear the stain on her, and let her name be known to people all over the country.
Shen Zhichu didn't know what was happening online, but based on her experience, it must be a mess.
On the 21st, the movie starring Shen Zhichu won a grand slam and won the Best Actress award. When she stepped on the stage to receive the award, the first thing she announced was to retire from the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry was in chaos, and then the news of Bai Qiujing's hospitalization was revealed. Immediately afterwards, Bai Qiujing appeared to break the rumors and announced that Shen Zhichu was his fiancée.
The scandal that lasted for nearly two years was officially announced by the real person. It was full of twists and turns in one day. The onlookers just moved into the melon field and there was no second-hand melon.
