Chapter 116 Shen Xiu

Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, young Master Shen Ji is bright and beautiful, gentle as jade, and a handsome young man

Only Shen Ji himself knows that he is very tired of living, and he can't bear the eager expectations of his parents.

He even selfishly thought that it would be better if his brother didn't die.

If his brother was still alive, he wouldn't have to be so tired.

But now that his brother is alive, it seems that he is not as tired as he is.

Shen Ji cried, without making any sound, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, and fell into the basin with a click, causing a wave.

The voice of the person in the water was a little unclear.

"My little master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ji's eyes moved slightly, and his tears wet his eyelashes. He covered his stomach that was so hungry that it hurt, and said softly.

"I'm very tired."

The person in the water said.

"But you've been sitting here for two days and hardly moved?"

Yes.

So, why did he feel tired? He

was too hungry. He

was so hungry that he had no strength at all and didn't even want to lift his hands.

Or...

some other reason.

A kidnapper came and brought him a bowl of vegetarian noodles, clean and with light soup. It was the only thing Shen Ji had eaten in such a long time.

He wolfed it down, which was not like him at all.

The kidnapper said that his parents sent 350,000 taels of silver to the mountain, so Shen Ji could live for another three days. If his parents couldn't raise the remaining 150,000 after three days, he would still die.

When the kidnapper left, Shen Ji suddenly laughed out loud.

He didn't know what the meaning of his life was.

What the kidnapper said just now was not only heard by Shen Ji, but also by the people in the water.

He asked Shen Ji.

"My little master, are you in danger?"

Shen Ji regained some strength, and his voice was no longer a light breath.

"I guess so."

The man in the water asked him.

"Then do you want to escape?"

Shen Ji shook his head.

"I want to die."

"Have you been wronged, little master?"

Shen Ji looked up at the roof. There was a hole in the roof, and he could see the sky outside that was like a burning fire. It was the sunset.

Facing the question of the man in the water, Shen Ji thought for a long time, and his eyes were red, and then he said with a trembling voice.

"No, I feel it, a lot of love."

The man in the water asked him.

"Is love not good?"

Shen Ji denied.

"No, love is good, but too much of it makes people a little unbearable."

The man in the water stopped talking, and Shen Ji was silent.

I don't know how long it took, when Shen Ji was about to fall asleep, the man in the water spoke.

"My little master, let me love you. My love is not much, but it is only for you."

Shen Ji's consciousness was a little fuzzy, and he didn't believe what the man in the water said. After all, there was no mirror, no reflection, and he couldn't even see him.

And that face was exactly the same as his own, which made him feel very strange.

But he still couldn't help asking him.

"Who are you, what's your name?"

"I am you, little master, I am Shen Xiu, another you."

Later, Shen Ji fell asleep. When he woke up again, he saw his parents and an old doctor with very good medical skills in Liyang City.

His parents were so excited to see him wake up that they cried with joy.

He moved his body and felt a burning pain on his body, especially on his back.

The doctor told him not to move rashly. He had many wounds on his body, especially the one on his back, which was deep enough to see the bone, and he had to take good care of it.

Shen Ji was lying on the bed, looking at the top of the bed curtains and asked his mother.

"How did I get back?"

Shen's mother was puzzled for a moment, her voice was uncertain.

"You ran back by yourself, Ah Ji, have you forgotten?"

Shen Ji's fingers moved slightly and stroked the bed sheet.

How could he run back by himself?

He was just very sleepy and fell asleep. How could he run back by himself?

He suddenly thought of Shen Xiu, the person who claimed to be another self.

When his injuries were almost healed, he asked someone to bring a mirror, evacuated everyone in the room, and sat alone in front of the mirror, looking into the mirror.

But Shen Xiu did not show up.

He was a little disappointed.

Could it be that he was so hungry that he had a hallucination?

A few days later, his injury healed a lot. When he dressed and prepared to go out for some fresh air, he sat in front of the mirror and heard the words while the maid was tying his hair.

"My little master~"

He looked up at the mirror and saw Shen Xiu with a pale face. Shen Ji did not respond to his words, but glanced at the reflection of the maid in the mirror.

Shen Xiu knew what he was thinking and explained.

"He can't see me, nor can he hear me."

Shen Ji snorted coldly and turned the mirror upside down on the table. The maid thought he didn't like the hairstyle he had today, so she asked him if he wanted to change it, but he said no.

When he came back, he dismissed all the servants in the room, told them that he was going to rest, and no one was allowed to come in to disturb him, and then closed the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he picked up the mirror and Shen Xiu appeared.

The first time he saw him, Shen Xiu smiled a slightly pale smile.

"My little master, are you back?"

Shen Ji asked him, looking at his smiling face.

"Where did you go a few days ago?"

Shen Xiu explained hurriedly.

"You were injured too badly, and I couldn't get out."

Shen Ji didn't say anything, and Shen Xiu guessed that he might be angry.

"Oh, don't worry, you're alive, I won't die."

Shen Ji asked him.

"What if I die?"

"Then of course I will die with you."

Shen Xiu said it casually, as if it was a matter of course. Shen Ji pursed his lips and thought, since Shen Xiu could

use his body to run out. Why can't Shen Xiu live with his body after he died?

Later, he rejected himself and didn't want it.

His life was actually quite tiring, and it was too unfair to Shen Xiu, or it was a bit cruel.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Xiu could only move forward, but he couldn't get past the mirror.

"So, my little master, take care of yourself, and if you want to live, you have to take me with you. I said I will love you, but my love is not much, so you won't be tired, and I only give you one person."

Shen Ji was silent for a long time, and just when Shen Xiu thought he wouldn't speak again, Shen Ji said a good word.

He asked Shen Xiu.

"If you die, what will happen to us?"

Shen Xiu didn't answer him because his mother came to see him.

Shen Xiu disappeared in the mirror, and his own reflection replaced him in the mirror.

Shen Ji pursed his lips and stood up, bowed to his mother, and after a few simple greetings with his mother, they went to the front hall to eat, and it was late when they came back.

It's time to rest.

Shen Ji sat in front of the mirror, combing his hair. Shen Xiu looked at him with a smile. Only then did he realize that Shen Xiu looked almost exactly like him, but there were also differences.

For example, there was a small red mole on the side of Shen Xiu's nose.

Shen Xiu did not answer the question Shen Ji asked before, and Shen Ji did not ask it a second time, and it just ended like that. It was not

until later that Shen Ji knew the answer to that question.

It was just that the price of knowing the answer was too heavy.

He himself had never thought about the price of knowing the answer, which was to lose Shen Xiu forever.

Shen Xiu's death would not affect him in the slightest. He could even live well, and no one would call him crazy anymore.

...

Shen Ji looked at his face in the mirror, and he dotted a red mole on the side of his nose, exactly the same as Shen Xiu's.

Looking at his face in the mirror, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Shen Xiu, you are so cruel."

How could he be left alone in this world?

...

On the day of the invitation, Yu Chi brought Gu Jue and Mu Bailinfeng to the appointment, and passed by the fifth prince Gu Wuyuan who was temporarily staying in the city lord's mansion.

Gu Wuyuan stared at Yu Chi with eyes as if they were poisoned. When passing by him, Yu Chi raised his lips slightly and smiled.

"If you look at it again, I will blind your other eye too."

After all, Gu Wuhui is not here now, Mu Bailinfeng is considered to be employed by him, and Gu Jue...

Gu Jue is even less likely to stop Yu Chi. His possessiveness for Yu Chi makes him have no good opinion of those who covet Yu Chi.

When they arrived at Shen Ji's yard, Shen Ji had been waiting for a long time.

Yu Chi was not polite and took Gu Jue and the others to sit next to Shen Ji.

"I wonder what show you are going to treat me to, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Ji poured a cup of tea for each of them, and Gu Jue thanked him when he took it.

Shen Ji's face was light and smiling.

"Of course it is a very good show. I wonder if you have heard of the rumors about me in the market?"

Yu Chi picked up the tea and blew it.

"Indeed, I have heard of it."

Shen Ji picked up the teacup and toasted Yu Chi with tea instead of wine.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for returning the city lord to me, otherwise this play would not be able to go on."

When he was sober, everyone thought he was crazy, but when he was really crazy, everyone thought he was normal.
