Chapter 300 I Like It So Much
Wen Shuqiao stood at the door, looking at the photo at a loss for words. No wonder Shen Jiazhou's expression was so unnatural when she asked him yesterday.
Shen Jiazhou said softly: "Let's go in."
Wen Shuqiao followed him into the room. The room was specially decorated. Shen Jiazhou burned incense for Zhou Yue and then walked aside.
Wen Shuqiao also took the incense, bowed three times, inserted it into the incense burner, and turned to look at Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou said: "Come and sit for a while."
There was a sofa next to the altar, and next to the sofa was a small table with some newspapers and books on it. Wen Shuqiao took a look and thought they should be Ms. Zhou Sheng's things.
She and Shen Jiazhou sat on the sofa. The sofa was not big, and their bodies were unconsciously touching each other.
Wen Shuqiao looked at the black and white photo and asked, "When did Auntie pass away?"
Shen Jiazhou also looked at the photo and said, "It was less than half a year after Shen Jiachen passed away because of the worsening of her illness."
Wen Shuqiao opened his mouth. He had lost two close relatives in a row within half a year.
She turned her head to look at Shen Jiazhou. Shen Jiazhou's eyes were on the altar at the moment. He seemed to sense Wen Shuqiao's gaze and turned to look at her.
He smiled gently: "What's that expression on your face?"
"I just don't know what to say." Wen Shuqiao said honestly.
Shen Jiazhou was amused, but after laughing for a while, he slowly explained: "Actually, it's good that she's gone."
"My mother's health has never been very good. It got worse after she gave birth to Shen Jiachen and me. Later, she found out that Shen Fang had cheated on her, which made her very upset. She has been suffering from poor health ever since the divorce. After the divorce, she has been recuperating here with my grandmother. Shen Jiachen was originally going to come here with her."
Shen Jiazhou paused and continued, "Shen Fang and Xu Zhen are married and are bringing back a son. She was afraid that I would be bullied, so she discussed it with Shen Jiachen, and Shen Jiachen finally stayed to take care of me."
Shen Jiachen already understood everything at that time. With his protection, Shen Jiazhou would suffer less unnecessary losses.
"Now that I think about it, the two of them sacrificed a lot for me." Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips and said, "If Shen Jiachen hadn't stayed in the country, he wouldn't have had a car accident, and my mother wouldn't have suddenly worsened her condition and passed away."
During the period after Shen Jiachen's accident, Shen Jiazhou always had trouble sleeping and occasionally had to take medicine to fall asleep.
Later Zhou Yue also left. Although everyone said that everyone has their own destiny and it has nothing to do with him, he could not control himself and kept getting stuck in a rut.
Wen Shuqiao raised his hand and patted his back gently: "Auntie and Shen Jiachen love you, so they are willing to do more for you. If they knew about this, they would be sad too."
Shen Jiazhou shrugged and smiled again, but it was not a smile, but more of a bitter smile: "Maybe, you don't need to comfort me. After so many years, I have already let it go."
Have you come to terms with it?
Wen Shuqiao thought of the sea. She didn't say anything, but patted his shoulders twice and said softly, "Whether you want to let it go or not, life will always move forward. Love is mutual. Shen Jiachen loves you and takes on the responsibility of a brother. You love Cancan and take on the responsibility of a parent. You are actually no different. You both hold up the sky for each other at different times."
She believed that if Shen Jiazhou needed to do something for Cancan, he would nod without hesitation.
Shen Jiazhou turned his face away, not wanting to meet Wen Shuqiao's eyes.
Wen Shuqiao sighed softly and patted his back with his hand: "Why are you still not happy to see someone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiazhou turned his face back with red eyes.
Wen Shuqiao's heart seemed to be stabbed by something and filled up. She said, "Okay, why are you feeling sentimental again..."
Before she could finish the last word, Shen Jiazhou turned over and hugged her again, burying his face in her shoulder and saying nothing.
Although he was much bigger than her, he jumped into her arms like a big dog.
Wen Shuqiao was stunned for a moment, her body stiffened, but she soon relaxed. She hugged Shen Jiazhou, stroked his back, and said nothing.
In the end, Shen Jiazhou uttered two words in a sullen voice: "...Shame on you."
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not shameful, it's human nature."
It’s inhumane not to cry.
Wen Shuqiao stroked his back again: "Just cry if you want to. Does that mean you are no longer Shen Jiazhou if you cry?"
Shen Jiazhou said nothing, but just kept his face buried. It was obvious that he didn't want to admit that he had just lost control of his emotions.
Wen Shuqiao did not urge him, but turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Yue's photo. Before, he only thought that Shen Jiazhou and Shen Fang were a bit similar, but now after seeing Zhou Yue's photo, he found that the two brothers actually looked more like their mother, especially when they smiled.
"Aunt! Uncle! Where are you?"
Cancan's voice came from outside the corridor, and Wen Shuqiao said, "Cancan is here, are you ready?"
Shen Jiazhou stood up. Wen Shuqiao looked at his face. Except for his slightly red eyes, everything else was no different from usual.
She praised: "Still very handsome."
Shen Jiazhou moved his thin lips: "Review the lessons..."
Wen Shuqiao made a gesture to cover his mouth, then stood up and walked out the door.
Cancan was about to go into the room to look for her when he saw his aunt coming out of the innermost room. He ran over quickly and said, "Aunt!"
Wen Shuqiao lowered his head and touched his face: "Didn't you say you were going to accompany your grandmother? Why are you here?"
Cancan raised her head and said, "Grandma asked someone to bake me some cookies. I said I missed you guys, so she asked me to come up to see you."
Wen Shuqiao took his hand and walked into the house. Cancan also saw the photo. He raised his head and looked at his aunt again, then looked at his uncle who was sitting there.
Shen Jiazhou had already adjusted himself. He stood up and said, "This is grandma."
He handed the incense to Cancan: "Introduce yourself to grandma."
Cancan looked at the photo and understood. He held the incense and knelt down obediently and kowtowed three times.
I kowtowed like this the last time I saw my father, and I will definitely do the same when I see my grandmother this time.
After bowing and lighting incense, Cancan said loudly: "Grandma, I am Cancan, my full name is Shen Shiyue, and I am already four years old..."
Shen Jiazhou walked over to Wen Shuqiao and couldn't help but whisper, "Every time I hear him introduce himself, it's like he's reading out the names of dishes."
Wen Shuqiao raised his hand and hit his arm, telling him not to talk nonsense.
Cancan is clearly...telling crosstalk!
Shen Jiazhou shut his mouth again and decided not to say anything.
But his eyes still unconsciously glanced at Wen Shuqiao, but as he looked, he looked at Zhou Yue's photo, and his expression softened a little.
"Wen Shuqiao."
Wen Shuqiao's attention was all on Cancan. When he heard Shen Jiazhou calling him, he nodded and then looked up at him.
Shen Jiazhou was smiling at her.
Her eyebrows were curved, and something seemed to be overflowing.
Wen Shuqiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou said slowly: "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Wen Shuqiao was a little confused.
Shen Jiazhou did not continue.
After Shen Jiachen and his mother passed away, there was someone who could gently and calmly support his sensitive and out-of-control emotions.
He really likes...Wen Shuqiao.
