Chapter 110 There is a child crying outside
Li Jingshen looked at the IV tube on Shen Zhichu's arm. She relied on the IV to maintain her life. Her body became thinner and thinner, and her life slowly became shallow.
Li Jingshen didn't know how long he stood there until his legs became stiff and numb, and then he came to his senses. He looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was already half past nine.
Shen Zhichu still had his empty eyes open, as if he had no intention of falling asleep.
He moved his lips and said softly, "Chen Zhichu, you should go to sleep."
Like a machine that had been shut down, Shen Zhichu closed his eyes as soon as Li Jingshen finished speaking, acting incredibly obedient.
Li Jingshen listened to her steady breathing, reached out and touched Shen Zhichu's bloodless face, and his fingers trembled when he saw the wound on her neck.
"You're grabbing me so hard, aren't you afraid of the pain?" Li Jingshen muttered to himself, with an expression of heartache that he himself didn't even realize.
Li Jingshen let out a long sigh, moved the bed chair to the side of the bed and pulled it into a bed. He slept on it, so that it looked like he was sleeping next to Shen Zhichu.
Li Jingshen lay on his side. He wanted to hold her while sleeping, but he also knew that he couldn't touch Shen Zhichu now. She was as fragile as a crystal that was beginning to crack.
Li Jingshen couldn't sleep, so he propped up his head and looked at Shen Zhichu's sleeping face. The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could hear the ticking of time in the room.
It was not until the second half of the night that Li Jingshen was in a daze. Suddenly, he heard a noise. He opened his eyes and saw a figure suddenly stand up and sit on the bed in the darkness.
Li Jingshen was frightened and woke up completely. In the dark night, he saw Shen Zhichu sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down as if she was sleepwalking. After a while, she raised her head and looked at the window with her eyes open. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly reached out to the window. Seeing that she was about to fall, Li Jingshen grabbed her collar and pulled her back to bed.
Li Jingshen initially thought that she was sleepwalking. It was best not to startle a person when they were sleepwalking, so he didn't make a sound before. But after he pulled Shen Zhichu back, he saw that her eyes were wide open, staring straight out the window as if there was something there.
"Shen Zhichu, what are you looking at?"
Shen Zhichu pointed outside: "There is a child crying outside..."
Li Jingshen choked, his heart seemed to be tightened by a pair of hands, and it hurt so much. He hugged Shen Zhichu's body: "No, you heard it wrong..."
Shen Zhichu didn't believe it. She stood up and wanted to open the window to look outside, but Li Jingshen held her tightly and she couldn't break free.
Shen Zhichu was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she kept yelling, "I heard the child crying. He's right outside the window, asking me to hold him. Please let me go over and take a look..."
"This is the eighth floor. There's no one outside the window, let alone a child."
Shen Zhichu refused to listen and said stubbornly: "Then he is downstairs, I want to go down."
It was creepy to hear her nonsense in the middle of the night, so Li Jingshen pulled her outstretched foot back with his hands and stuffed it into the quilt.
"You heard wrong, there are no children."
"I heard it right."
Li Jingshen covered her ears and leaned over: "Chen Zhichu, you really heard it wrong, your ears deceived you."
Shen Zhichu froze in Li Jingshen's arms. After a long moment, she shook her head in a daze, at a loss: "No, my ears won't lie. If they could, why wouldn't he believe me..."
Her words were completely irrelevant and nonsensical, but Li Jingshen understood that the "he" she was talking about was him.
Just like when Xia Mingyue fell down the stairs today, he believed what he heard and saw, so he unilaterally thought that it was Shen Zhichu who pushed Xia Mingyue.
"I was wrong, Shen Zhichu, I'm sorry, there are no children outside. If you want to have one, we can have another one. If you have many children, they will all be yours."
Her and Li Jingshen's figures were reflected on the window glass. Shen Zhichu stared at them, but her eyes missed the shadows and looked at the starry sky outside.
It seems like there is one more star in the sky.
