Chapter 213 Pain
Chen Sangsang, however, kept talking to himself: "Even I feel that I am very pitiful. To this day, I still don't know how Chen Zhou died. I have asked him countless times, countless times in my dreams...but there is still no answer to this matter."
When Shen Sangsang said the latter part, she deliberately did not look at Zhou Shiran.
What about Zhou Shiran? He actually felt as if his conscience was condemning him. After a long while, he asked, "Is Chen Zhou's death really that important?"
He hadn't expected that he would ask such a question, and after hearing his words, Shen Sangsang nodded seriously, and she whispered, "It's very important."
The next second, she raised her face again and fixed her gaze on his face: "It's so important that I can sacrifice my life for this matter."
Zhou Shiran looked at the determination in her eyes and was stunned. He didn't expect that she would be so obsessed with Shen Zhou's death. This made his face tense.
Chen Sangsang looked at the changes on his face. In fact, she had never thought about going with him. Even if there had not been the typhoon yesterday, she would never have left with him. The reason she left with him was... to let him tell her clearly about Chen Zhou's death.
But she knew very well that now was not the time for her to ask, the time was simply not right. Now, under her deliberate seduction, he seemed to be obsessed with her, but he had not yet reached the level of being willing to give everything for her.
So she shouldn't ask, because once she did, everything would be a big deal. But she couldn't control her impulse and asked him directly, "The one who sank the boat, can you tell me?"
Sure enough, when she asked this question, Zhou Shiran's face, which was now full of complicated emotions, began to clear up.
His frown was like a tight string, which suddenly broke because it was pulled too tight, so he woke up in pain.
Just as Shen Sangsang had thought, he looked at her with a sudden sense of wariness, a wariness that showed his suspicion of her motives for approaching him.
He subconsciously took a few steps back to her side.
Shen Sangsang noticed his retreat. She looked at him with her eyes lowered, and naturally had a bad feeling in her heart.
She was really too hasty and therefore alarmed the enemy.
For a moment she didn't know what to say or do to remedy her impulse, and she stood there stiffly.
Zhou Shiran's eyes were fixed on her face. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly changed the subject: "It's too cold, let's go inside."
After he said this, he started walking inside.
Shen Sangsang stood there, and naturally did not move after he left. She was very clear about the change in his attitude just now, but she did not chase him in. Instead, after he left, she still stood there, her eyes turned to look at the lotus pond in the distance. She saw several egrets hunting in the middle of the lotus pond.
…
After Zhou Shiran entered the main hall, he happened to run into his younger brother who came to look for him. The younger brother said to him with a serious face: "Brother Zhou, let's release Madam Shen. If this matter gets out of hand, no one will be happy."
At first, everyone was doing it for money, but now the longer time goes on, the more people realize the dangers involved.
When Zhou Shiran heard his younger brother's words, he looked at him for a long time, with a cold face, and said nothing.
The younger brother was actually quite afraid of him, glancing at the emotions on his face.
But at this moment, Zhou Shiran was thinking about another thing in his mind. This thing was what Xu Jie had said to him at the beginning. He said that she approached him with a purpose and asked him to stop playing tricks.
At that time, Zhou Shiran was full of ambition. In his opinion, even if she was using him and approaching him with ulterior motives, he was still willing to give everything for her. But today, when he really realized her purpose, suddenly, that kind of ambition and that kind of indifference changed slightly at this moment, because before this, he thought that she had some feelings for him. Although not as much as Chen Zhou's, she should have been moved several times, right?
But just now, he suddenly realized that she seemed to have only skills towards him, and no sincerity at all...
Maybe, in this network, she may have never had any good feelings for him. Then, if she goes with him, will she really leave the country with him?
When Zhou Shiran thought of this, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his thoughts became deeper and deeper.
Seeing him standing there for a long time without moving or speaking, I called out softly, "Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Shiran reacted and looked at his younger brother. He frowned and asked with a bad temper, "What did you say?"
I didn't expect him to ask such a question. He was stunned for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he thought about it and said, "Brothers, do you think we should release Madam Shen? It will be bad if we alert the police later."
So far, the Shen family seems not to have called the police, as if they were afraid that they would harm Old Madam Shen. They just issued an announcement to the public, saying that as long as the old lady returns safely, the Shen family will forgive her past mistakes and will even give her a thank-you gift.
This announcement naturally made those who kidnapped Madam Shen very worried.
Zhou Shiran naturally understood what his younger brothers were thinking. He sneered and asked, "The Shen family paid a lot of money, didn't they? You think I have such a small fortune, don't you?"
When the younger brother heard what he said, he knew he had misunderstood something and hurriedly explained, "Brother Zhou, we really don't think that way. Please don't misunderstand me. We are loyal to you!"
Zhou Shiran didn't care at all whether they were loyal to him or not. At the moment, he had more troubles in his mind, so he didn't care at all about what his younger brother said. He just left his younger brother and turned into another room.
I stood there, feeling at a loss as to what to do.
After Zhou Shiran arrived at a secluded hut, he lit a cigarette for himself.
He smoked the cigarette so hard that the smoke rushed into his nose and made him cough, but he still didn't stop. After he finished smoking the cigarette, his hand finally threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with his foot.
Then he fell into deep thought again.
Is she really willing to go with him?
He asked himself this question over and over in his mind, but the final conclusion was that she was not really ready to go with him.
After getting this answer, Zhou Shiran sneered, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Shen Sangsang stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond for half an hour. Finally, she turned around and went back to her room. After she returned to the simple bed, someone walked in.
Shen Sangsang raised her head and looked over, and found that the person who walked in was Zhou Shiran.
The moment she saw him, she didn't say anything, she just looked at others.
Zhou Shiran walked up to her and whispered, "Let's go, the airport is now operating normally."
In fact, Zhou Shiran asked this question tentatively, and his eyes fell quietly on her face.
Shen Sangsang lowered her eyes, thinking about something, but the time she spent thinking was very short, only a few seconds. Soon, she raised her face and looked at him. She whispered, "Okay."
After hearing her answer, Zhou Shiran naturally looked at her, but after looking at her for a few seconds, he immediately reacted. He stretched out his hand towards her, motioning her to get up from the bed.
When Shen Sangsang saw his outstretched hand, her hand naturally fell into his. He supported her while Shen Sangsang slowly got up from the bed. But just after her feet touched the ground, suddenly, her feet staggered and she fell into his arms.
Zhou Shiran shouted, "Be careful!"
But just as he said this, he raised his head and his face bumped into another face. Their eyes were so close that they could see themselves in each other's eyes.
And what about Zhou Shiran's eyes? He saw a pair of extremely white faces, so white that there was no flaw at all. He could even see her eyelashes, each one distinct.
The heartbeats of the two people were like a symphony in each other's hearts.
Zhou Shiran's gaze slid from her delicate nose to her lips. Shen Sangsang did not avoid his gaze at all. She seemed to be waiting for his move.
Zhou Shiran seemed to be possessed, his lips actually trying to move closer to hers. At this moment, there were no extra thoughts in his mind, only his heart was beating violently.
Just when his lips were about to approach, his mind suddenly became clear, and his lips, at the moment they were about to touch her lips, he quickly turned to the side.
And the moment he turned sideways, Shen Sangsang's expression froze, and both of them stood there in an extremely awkward posture.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that the heartbeat sounded like thunder in this quiet room.
Just as Shen Sangsang looked at Zhou Shiran indifferently, Zhou Shiran tried his best to restore his expression at this moment. He acted as if nothing had happened and said to her, "Let's go."
Then, he went to pack her things, and Shen Sangsang's eyes naturally followed his movements.
At this time, Zhou Shiran's younger brother appeared at the door and said, "Brother Zhou, the car has started, we can leave now. Are you ready?"
After hearing what his younger brother said, Zhou Shiran immediately responded: "Well, we're almost done here, let's go."
After he finished saying this, he looked towards Shen Sangsang again.
Shen Sangsang looked at him for a long time again and whispered, "Then let's go."
Zhou Shiran still didn't expect her to answer like this. After hearing her words, he naturally said, "Okay, then let's go directly to the airport."
They didn't have much stuff to begin with, so there wasn't much to pack. After they walked out of the house and reached the door of the car, Shen Sangsang subconsciously paused.
Zhou Shiran was putting her things into the car at the moment. After putting them away, he saw that she was standing there without moving, so he turned around to look at her. After a glance, he whispered, "Let's go."
When Shen Sangsang heard this, she came to her senses and immediately got into the car.
Zhou Shiran's eyes settled when he saw her sit down.
Seeing him standing there for a long time without moving, the younger brother asked again: "Brother Zhou, aren't we getting in the car?"
Zhou Shiran came to his senses and walked towards the car door, and then he got in the car.
Not long after he got on the car, the younger brother naturally followed suit. However, before getting on the car, the younger brother glanced at Zhou Shiran and thought to himself, "What's wrong with Brother Zhou? He seems to be uneasy today."
Of course, I couldn't guess what he was thinking, and soon, he drove away from the house.
Shen Sangsang sat in the car looking forward. Of course, Zhou Shiran's gaze was also focused on the front. Both of them were quietly looking at the road ahead.
They were driving very fast, probably because they were in a hurry, so the speed never dropped below 100.
Zhou Shiran, who was sitting there, had been quietly waiting for the people around him to stop the car, but the people around him became unusually quiet since they got on the car.
The car drove towards the airport at a speed of 100 km/h. After driving for more than an hour, it finally arrived near the airport.
Shen Sangsang, who was sitting there, remained motionless. Instead, Zhou Shiran was the one who moved. He asked, "Do you really want to come with me?"
At this moment, Shen Sangsang didn't want to hide anything anymore. Instead, she felt that being honest was a good idea. She looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Are you really unwilling to tell me?"
Unexpectedly, she actually asked. In fact, during this process, Zhou Shiran had been waiting for her to ask him.
After hearing this, he naturally looked towards her. When he saw her extremely quiet eyes, he whispered, "You really haven't thought about going with me, have you?"
When he asked her this question, Shen Sangsang said frankly: “You know, in fact, you know in your heart why I came here with you.”
He smiled, his eyes full of bitterness, and said, "Of course I know, that's why I keep asking you if you really want to go with me."
"Since we both know what's in each other's minds, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. I still have the same question... Are you really unwilling to tell me?"
"What if I tell you the truth and you can't bear it?"
Shen Sangsang was pondering his words, and she looked towards him.
Zhou Shiran chuckled softly, "In fact, not knowing is happier than knowing. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Dilemma, happiness.
Shen Sangsang didn’t expect these words to be combined in this way.
She whispered, "Do you think I'm happy now?"
She then asked, "Have you ever experienced insomnia day and night?"
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she looked at him. That coldness was a bit stern, and that coldness was like an extremely sharp knife.
Zhou Shiran was slightly frightened by the emotion in her eyes.
Shen Sangsang continued, "Of course you can easily say that the other person is happy, but since the day Shen Zhou died, I have been living in nightmares all day long. The word happiness is ridiculous."
