Chapter 121 Even if Shen Zhichu forgot, he couldn't forget
Li Jingshen could see that Shen Zhichu was in a bad mood at the moment, so he changed the subject: "Now that you are alone at home, do you want to hire a servant to take care of you?"
"No need, I have hands and feet and don't need anyone to take care of me." Shen Zhichu drank the soup in the bowl listlessly, a little half-hearted.
"You can choose the servant yourself. It would be good if she could talk to you at home." He was sincerely considering Shen Zhichu. The psychologist also said that her current condition has not been fully recovered. She has some autistic tendencies and needs someone to accompany her.
But he couldn't be with her all the time. He hadn't been to the company for a month. There were a lot of documents that needed his signature, and he also had to attend some social events in person.
After Shen Zhichu was discharged from the hospital, he was indeed a different person. He used to be so gentle and docile, but now he would lose his temper for no reason.
Before she got sick, she would scold Li Jingshen when she was angry, but now she would just hide in a corner and hold it in. If you didn't keep an eye on her, she would have a few more self-harm marks on her hands.
Shen Zhichu obviously didn't want to accept his kindness: "If you hit me a little softer, I would be fine."
There are only 0 times and countless times of domestic violence. Li Jingshen used to just slap her in the face. Ever since the Shen family fell, he has become more and more merciless to her. He locked her in the bedroom and refused to eat, handcuffed her and locked her on the balcony, forcing her to kneel on the glass in the cold wind, and now he even threw her down from the second floor.
If she was thrown from such a high place and hit her head accidentally, she might die from cerebral hemorrhage. Losing a child was the least she could have suffered.
Li Jingshen glanced at her and lowered his head to drink the soup.
Shen Zhichu held up her face, looking at the dishes on the table, her thoughts already drifting off to who knows where. Li Jingshen frowned slightly when he saw that she hadn't even touched the table with her chopsticks. "Is it not to your taste?"
"I have no appetite and can't eat." Now, even delicious food tastes like chewing wax and she can't swallow it at all.
"Even if you can't eat, you have to eat. How can you have the energy to go out if you don't eat enough? Do you want to be locked up at home forever?"
“…”
After lunch, Li Jingshen put the dishes into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked at the fruits he bought today. The grapes in this season are very sweet, each one is purple-black, big and round.
He washed a plate and placed it in front of Shen Zhichu. After taking care of Shen Zhichu for a month, he had already developed a habit. He skillfully picked up a grape, peeled and seeded it, pinched the flesh with his fingertips and handed it to Shen Zhichu's lips: "Try it."
Shen Zhichu frowned, her face a little impatient, she turned her face away: "It's disgusting."
Li Jingshen's expression was indifferent and calm: "This is how I fed you when you were in the hospital."
"I don't want to eat."
Li Jingshen smiled, threw the grapes in his hand into the trash can, and wiped his hands with a tissue: "It's okay if you don't want to eat them, but you should eat more fruits. You can't just eat nothing."
Li Jingshen is a mysophobia person and doesn't know how to take care of others. For someone as arrogant as him to lower himself to peel grapes for others to eat, if people who know him see this scene, I'm afraid the first reaction would be horror.
Li Jingshen was not someone who did not do any housework, but his technique was not very efficient. After washing the dishes, he took out his cell phone and called Zhao Qian to ask him to arrange for a servant to come over, preferably one of similar age to Shen Zhichu, and who should be diligent and honest in doing housework.
It is quite difficult to find a maid in her early 20s, not to mention that Li Jingshen's requirements are so high. Zhao Qian nodded and agreed to go and recruit someone after hanging up the phone.
Shen Zhichu sat on the sofa outside and heard Li Jingshen's voice on the phone clearly.
She didn't think Li Jingshen was considerate, she just felt annoyed. She had clearly made it clear that she didn't need anyone to take care of her, but he still forced someone to come in.
On the surface, it was to look after her and entertain her, but in reality, it was not to monitor her movements. She was no different from a prisoner.
The more annoyed Shen Zhichu became, the more anxious she became. Her stomach began to hurt. She covered her stomach, bent her legs and placed them on the sofa, resting her chin on her knees, and curled up into a ball.
Li Jingshen didn't expect that his flattery would backfire. When he came out after finishing the call, he saw Shen Zhichu staring at the stairs. His heart trembled, worried that if she kept looking at the stairs, it would remind her of the fear of that day and cause her to have an attack.
When he walked over, he found that Shen Zhichu's eyes were dull. She seemed to be staring at the stairs, but actually she was not looking at anything. She just casually fixed her eyes on a place and was in a daze.
"Chen Zhichu." He called her.
Shen Zhichu came back to his senses and turned his face to the left window.
Shen Zhichu held a grudge against him. There were many barriers between them, not to mention the two lives involved. When the doctor was hypnotizing Shen Zhichu, Li Jingshen was thinking about how to make Shen Zhichu lose his memory.
But even if Shen Zhichu doesn't remember those things, he will never forget them.
For example, the steps had been wiped clean, but he felt they were still covered with blood. He could even sense a young ghost floating there.
Li Jingshen raised his hand and rubbed his solar plexus. It felt a little stinging when his fingertips pressed on it. He must have been too tired recently, otherwise why would he think about all these nonsense.
But he kind of understood why when Shen Zhichu fell ill he looked out the window and thought there was a child crying, because that sound came from his heart.
The next morning, Li Jingshen woke Shen Zhichu up to eat, found a short-sleeved shirt and jeans for her to change into, and took her to Fukang Orphanage.
Shen Zhichu rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window. When she saw a cake shop, she asked Li Jingshen to stop by the roadside.
"Stop the car. I want to buy a cake."
Upon hearing this, Li Jingshen pulled the car over and the two of them entered the cake shop together.
Shen Zhichu remembered that she had promised Bai Qiu to bring him some delicious food. On the way, she saw this cake shop that was convenient for carrying food in. She bought a total of sixty cakes and spent nearly two thousand.
Carrying big and small bags, Li Jingshen put the cakes into the trunk.
This was Li Jingshen's first time visiting an orphanage. He had heard in the past that Shen Zhichu had sponsored many orphans, which slightly changed his impression of her.
In the passenger seat, Shen Zhichu glanced at the orphanage sign outside the window: "I want to be alone."
Li Jingshen tilted his head to glance at her: "What? Do you think I'm embarrassing?"
