Chapter 310 Extra: Shen Xichuan, I am also greedy.
It's the New Year again.
In recent years, the Shen family has been particularly lively during the Chinese New Year.
An Yuening gave birth to a little princess, who is four years old this year and is named Shen Muring.
Just one year younger than Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan has doted on this sister since she was a child.
Shen Muring likes this brother very much and depends on him.
So, when she saw Shen Tinglan getting out of the car, she couldn't wait to run towards the vehicle with her short legs.
"elder brother."
A babyish voice.
It's almost heart-melting to hear.
Shen Tinglan's ears turned red, but she still told her to slow down and not run.
Shen Xichuan and Xu Jialan followed behind him.
Shen Muring threw herself directly into Shen Tinglan's arms and handed him her Barbie doll.
"Brother, this is for you."
Shen Tinglan looked at the Barbie doll that didn't match his style at all, and nodded calmly, "Thank you, sister, I like it very much."
Shen Muring grinned.
At this moment, she also saw Shen Xichuan and Xu Jialan behind her.
"Uncle, aunt."
Shen Muring's eyes lit up, and she opened her arms towards Shen Xichuan, looking like she wanted a hug.
Shen Xichuan raised an eyebrow, surprised that Shen Muring was not afraid of him at all, and even liked him more than her father.
But he still bent down and easily picked up the little princess of the Shen family.
"Why are you so squeamish?"
Having said that, he still adjusted his posture carefully, fearing that he would hurt the little baby.
It was a completely different attitude from how he treated Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan witnessed all this and was not jealous.
Xu Jialan also liked Shen Muring very much, and couldn't help but pinched her little face, "You like your uncle so much? Doesn't Mu Mu like your aunt?"
"I like it." Shen Muning nodded vigorously, "But my brother said that my aunt is very tired at work, and if I have to hold Mu Mu, it will be even more tiring. I can't let my aunt get tired."
Shen Tinglan on the side nodded calmly in agreement.
Xu Jialan: "..."
She had no choice but to glare at the man next to her coquettishly.
Look at all the good things he did?
Even the children thought she was spoiled.
Shen Xichuan smiled and put his arm around her waist, “Mu Mu is right.”
I admitted my mistakes before, but he won't change.
Xu Jialan: "..."
…
This year's New Year is still very lively.
Or maybe there are two more children in the family.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the head of the Shen family took his two children out to set off fireworks.
Mrs. Shen looked at her husband following the childish look, feeling amused and helpless, but when she saw the smiles on their faces, she didn't say anything, but asked someone to prepare some food and drink for them.
Otherwise you’ll be hungry after playing later.
After dinner, Shen Yankai and An Yuening went out on a date.
The downstairs of the villa was filled with the laughter of children.
Xu Jialan lay on his back on the bed, tilting his head to look at the fireworks outside.
Colorful light penetrated the window and fell on her face.
I could clearly see that his eyelashes were wet with tears.
The loose hair on his forehead was also wet with sweat.
Strands of hair fell on the forehead.
She clutched the bed sheet, her eyes going from out of focus at first to slowly coming into focus.
Someone pinched his chin and turned it away.
She looked at the man in front of her blankly.
Shen Xichuan leaned over and placed small kisses on her forehead, nose, eyes, cheeks, and lips one by one.
“Are the fireworks pretty?”
He asked hoarsely.
The corners of Xu Jialan's eyes turned red, and he was speechless to answer this question.
It looks good, but she doesn't want to look at it that way.
Shen Xichuan smiled softly, “Baby, don’t you like it?”
Xu Jialan's slender joints turned slightly white, and he shook his head with tears in his eyes.
Outside, fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another.
Perhaps the head of the Shen family had people prepare a lot of fireworks at once in order to make his grandchildren happy.
The sound of fireworks was almost non-stop.
A tear rolled down Xu Jialan's eye.
It's the non-stop thing that's scary.
It seemed as if countless fireworks were blooming in her brain.
The rhythm is exactly the same as the fireworks outside.
After a long time.
Xu Jialan's face was flushed and trembling slightly, and there were traces of tears sliding down her face without her knowing when.
But the man patiently kissed them away one by one.
"Okay, no more."
Xu Jialan looked at him weakly, then closed his eyes and lay lazily on the bed.
Shen Xichuan simply packed up and carried her into the bathroom.
Not long after we entered, the sound of fireworks rang out again outside.
Xu Jialan burst into tears again.
“…”
She was destined to miss the New Year's Eve this year.
The next day, she slept until almost afternoon.
Looking at the time on her phone, she buried herself in the quilt with despair.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
It’s An Yuening.
Xu Jialan paused, then slowly got up from the bed. As soon as he stepped on the ground, his legs started shaking.
She gritted her teeth and took a moment to relax before walking to the door and opening it.
Seeing her like this, An Yuening raised her eyebrows without surprise, "No one is home today, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Are no one at home?" Xu Jialan was stunned.
"Today is the first day of the new year. My parents took the two children out to play, and Shen Yankai followed them. As for your husband, he also went out. Before leaving, he just told me that he would wake you up to eat when the time comes."
Who knew that Xu Jialan couldn't be woken up no matter how much he called.
She has come several times.
Xu Jialan was embarrassed.
"Then I'll clean it up."
"OK."
…
The two went out together.
I wandered around the mall and looked for something to eat.
Then Xu Jialan drank coffee and supported his face, "Why do I find that Shen Xichuan seems to go out every New Year's Day."
If she hadn’t been sure that Shen Xichuan would not do anything to let her down.
She wouldn't be so calm now.
An Yuening, who had learned the truth from Shen Yankai a few years ago, was silent for a few seconds.
"You want to know?"
Xu Jialan paused, "You know?"
An Yuening sighed, "I didn't know it at first, but I found out later."
She paused, and then succinctly told her what Shen Xichuan would do every year regardless of the weather.
Xu Jialan stood there in a daze for a long time.
…
The Porsche slowly stopped outside the temple.
Xu Jialan's chest rose and fell noticeably, and he pinched his fingers.
An Yuening sat in the driver's seat and said, "He should still be on the stairs at this time."
Xu Jialan's heart trembled.
She pursed her lips, opened the door and got out of the car.
The sandalwood scent mixed with the air suddenly entered her nose.
The familiar yet somewhat strange smell was unable to calm her heart for the first time.
Thinking of what An Yuening said in the coffee shop just now.
"He said he was going to join the team, but he was just lying to you."
"Every New Year's Day, he would go to the temple you once visited, do what you did, and pray for you."
Temples I've visited.
Things done.
Xu Jialan immediately cleared the fog.
She subconsciously clenched the jade token in her hand.
The cool jade felt smooth and hard in the palm of my hand.
She walked towards the 108 steps step by step.
I saw the man in the middle of the stairs at a glance.
Xu Jialan's eyes suddenly turned red.
The voices of people around me could still be heard in my ears.
"This man is so affectionate! Every year I come to the temple to burn incense, and every year he comes to kneel and kowtow."
"Yes, I heard that he was praying for his wife."
"Looking at it this way, I'm a little envious of his wife."
Xu Jialan lifted his foot and walked up the stairs step by step.
When Shen Xichuan knelt on the last step, he stood up and staggered.
He could have kept himself steady.
But suddenly, a slender hand held his arm from behind.
Shen Xichuan wanted to break free almost instantly.
But I smelled the familiar scent of flowers again.
He was startled and turned back subconsciously.
Then he saw Xu Jialan with red eyes.
"Baby, I..."
Xu Jialan reached out and hugged his waist.
"Does it hurt?"
His voice was filled with tears.
Shen Xichuan hugged her waist and said, “It doesn’t hurt.”
"It's a lie."
Shen Xichuan patted her back soothingly.
"It really doesn't hurt, and besides, I think it's a good deal."
Xu Jialan raised his head and looked at him, "You are still talking nonsense."
Shen Xichuan smiled and gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingertips, “I didn’t say anything nonsense.”
"If I come here every year, I can buy you a safe and healthy life for the rest of your life. For me, it's a great deal and worth it."
A breeze blew by, and the leaves of the century-old trees rustled. Red ribbons fluttered up and down, and the light yellow leaves also fell to the ground with the wind.
Wisps of smoke rose slowly.
The two hugged each other in front of the temple.
Not far away is the benevolent statue of Guanyin Buddha.
It seemed as if he was also agreeing with Shen Xichuan’s wish.
"But, as I said, I am your guardian angel, and I will keep you safe."
“I know.” Shen Xichuan’s eyes were gentle, “Didn’t you also say that I am the light that illuminates you?”
"Light will also submit to his patronus."
"I just hope that my patron saint will live a life of brightness, peace, prosperity, and good health for the rest of his life."
"That's enough."
The rest of his life was too long, and he had used up all his luck to be able to reunite with her and fall in love with her.
God is fair.
Once a person gains something, he will inevitably lose it.
He didn't ask for much when he knelt down, he just hoped that she could be safe and happy.
Even, we don't dare to hope to be together for a lifetime.
That's why he educated Shen Tinglan so early.
At least at that time, she was still a princess held in the palm of her hand.
“Shen Xichuan, I am also greedy.”
Xu Jialan looked at him with red eyes, "I will be your guardian angel and keep you safe, but there are requirements."
Shen Xichuan looked at her lovingly, “What is the request?”
"Would you like to grow old with me and support each other for the rest of our lives?" she said.
A short sentence.
Shen Xichuan couldn't help but have red eyes.
How could I not be willing?
His voice trembled slightly as he replied hoarsely, "Okay, I do."
