Chapter 140 Bright and Brilliant
Wen Zhi raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with surprise and some unspeakable emotions, "Ms. Shen... I..."
She was not a person who was not good at speaking. On the contrary, in the eyes of her classmates, she was the most eloquent and good at getting along with everyone. But at this moment, facing Shen Chutang's compliments, she just felt at a loss for words.
Except for her parents, no one praised her as a good person. However, her parents died when she was seventeen. She went from being a good child praised by everyone to a disaster that killed her parents. After entering college, she was regarded as a snob by some of her classmates.
But she just wanted to survive, to live like a normal person.
"Classmate Wen Zhi." Shen Chutang called her with a smile, "Please call me by my name."
Wen Zhi's tears welled up. She cried softly and whispered, "Chu Tang."
"I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have used you like that, and I shouldn't have approached my classmates and teachers with a purpose..."
"They are right. I am not sincere enough. I am always on guard. I..."
It had been a long time since I had felt such kindness and warmth. Wen Zhi spoke incoherently, without any logic, and lost her usual calmness.
Shen Chutang just listened to her quietly, talking about her parents' accident, how she was admitted to university alone, how she was bullied by bad guys while working a summer job, and how she won her first scholarship. All the sadness and joy that she had no one to tell in these years now found an outlet.
Shen Chutang handed her a tissue and also used it to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Shen, Chutang, have I said too much?" Wen Zhi wiped away her tears, her voice apologetic.
"It's okay, thank you for telling me this." Shen Chutang said with a smile, "These are all in the past, Wen Zhi, I hope you won't be trapped in the past anymore. The departure of your uncle and aunt has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself for it, they definitely want to live happily."
"Also, you take good care of yourself. If your uncle and aunt knew, they would be proud of you."
Shen Chutang leaned over and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Wen Zhi, look forward. There is a bright future waiting for you."
Wen Zhi nodded vigorously. The nurse came over to remind Shen Chutang that it was time for the IV. She stood up quickly and said, "Sorry, I delayed your rest."
"Don't delay. It's getting late. You should go back quickly and have a good rest." Wen Zhi turned around and walked out of the ward, looking back every few steps.
She let out a long breath, and the haze lingering in her heart gradually dissipated. A bright future was waiting for her. Just listening to it made her feel full of hope.
Wen Zhi silently repeated these words in her heart. She thought that it was time for her to move forward.
Shen Chutang stretched out on the bed. Shi Chengyu had already walked to the bed and rubbed her waist. "Are you tired?"
"A little bit." Shen Chutang hugged his waist and said, "Shi Chengyu, do you think I can become a psychiatrist?"
Shi Chengyu didn't stop working, thinking seriously for a while, "In this case, it would be best to apply to a foreign school to study for a master's degree, and then find a psychological counseling agency for internship after returning to China. Then we can open our own one and Tangtang will be the boss. But this job will be a bit tiring. If Tangtang really likes it, you can consider it."
Shen Chutang laughed twice. She only said one sentence, and he arranged everything afterwards. She rubbed her face against his chest, "I just said it casually. It seems that you didn't even ask me what I want to do?"
"You don't care about me." Shen Chutang pouted and complained softly.
Shi Chengyu lowered his head, and a laugh escaped from his throat, "It's not that I don't care, but no matter what Tangtang wants to do, I support you."
Shen Chutang looked up at him and smiled. She almost told him another surprise, but she held back. She still wanted to give him a surprise.
"Well, after I graduate, I want to travel around the world like Xie Tong, take some photos, and become a photographer. What do you think?"
Shi Chengyu looked unhappy, his brows were tightly locked together. He wanted to ask her to think about it, and was even ready to go with her. But when he saw the teasing smile on Shen Chutang's face, he reacted.
She was teasing him.
Shi Chengyu pinched her face and said, "Tangtang, you've become bad."
Shen Chutang is not an active or playful person, and there is no way he would like to travel around the world like Xie Tong.
Shi Chengyu used a little force with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed her as compensation for being deceived.
He stopped at a light taste, but felt it was not enough, so he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
After the long kiss, the light red fingerprints on Shen Chutang's cheeks had not yet faded. She rubbed her face and said, "You are the bad one."
Shi Chengyu took her hand off and put his own hand on it, "Yes, I am a bad guy, a bad guy who only bullies Tangtang."
"Tangtang can ask me for compensation, like what happened just now."
Shen Chutang glared at him. This man was becoming even more shameless. With such compensation, it was unclear who benefited.
Shi Chengyu looked at her angry expression, stroked her scalp, and the curve of his mouth became more and more upturned.
Shen Chutang stayed in the ward for two days before being allowed to leave. As the holiday was approaching, she went straight back to Lanjiang Court. Xie Tong sent her computer and data over.
Although he was discharged from the hospital, Shen Chutang was still restricted in his movements and could only move around in a wheelchair.
The next afternoon after returning, Shi Chengyu asked the kitchen to prepare fruits and bamboo sticks.
Shen Chutang was more interested in making candied haws than eating them. She placed more than a dozen kinds of fruits on the table, but she didn't let the servants help and did all the talking herself.
Put two fruits on a small bamboo stick, either single or mixed, and then coat them with prepared syrup and set aside to cool.
Every time she made a bunch of sweets that she thought were the best, she would give it to Shi Chengyu. She had a lot of fun with it. But poor Shi Chengyu had never eaten so many sweets in a day since he was a child.
In the end, Shen Chutang only ate three skewers, and asked the driver to deliver the rest to Shen Yanheng and Shen Sichen, and also gave a lot to Xie Tong.
Shen Yanheng knew she was bored, so Shen Ze'an was sent here the day after his holiday. He ran very fast, but he knew he couldn't touch Shen Chutang's legs, so he stood beside the wheelchair obediently, "Auntie!"
The secretary who followed behind brought in his schoolbag and a small suitcase of books.
"I'm here to play with you!"
Shen Chutang touched his head and asked, "Are you happy on your holiday, An An?"
"I am happy, but I am even happier to be here with my aunt. The candied haws that my aunt made last time were delicious. I want to make some too!"
Shi Chengyu paused for a moment when he heard this. Shen Chutang suppressed his laughter and said, "Then you have to ask the person behind you."
Shen Ze'an looked back at Shi Chengyu, ran over and hugged his waist, "Uncle-in-law, will you do it with us?"
