Chapter 226 Extra: Past Life (18)
One sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.
The image of that lively boy she had seen once from afar flashed through Shan Qingshan's mind.
It was so shocking it gave me goosebumps.
Shan Qingshan grasped Zhou Chong's hand in return.
His hands are so cold.
Shan Qingshan immediately took off his coat and covered him with it.
The warmth that enveloped him made Zhou Chong feel as if he were being held in his arms.
"Let's go back first."
Zhou Chong nodded.
Shan Qingshan pulled him along, and he obediently followed, like a walking corpse.
Dan Qingshan felt heartbroken. He went inside, took away Zhou Chong's bottled water, replaced it with hot water, went back inside to find a blanket, took off his own coat, and draped it over Zhou Chong's shoulders.
Are you alright?
Zhou Chong shook his head.
not good.
Zhou Chong looked at the hook on the wall that he had taken over.
The stack of cards is quite thick.
But it's been a long time since I hung up.
Dan Qingshan followed his gaze.
"Stop looking, this isn't a wishing well, you've already filled it with all those things."
"Then I'll bring a hook next time."
next time……
This word stirred something within Shan Qingshan.
Have you eaten?
"No."
"Can I cook noodles?"
This is faster.
Zhou Chong nodded.
Shan Qingshan went into the kitchen. Although he had eaten on set, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to cook a little more so that he could eat with him.
While the noodles were cooking, he saw Zhou Chong standing in front of the hook, writing cards one after another.
I wrote until I couldn't hang it up anymore.
Soon, two bowls of noodles were served, smelling delicious, and both bowls were topped with braised pork chops.
The extra bowl was pushed in front of Zhou Chong.
You eat so little.
"I ate something on set this afternoon."
"I'll wash the dishes in a bit."
"what ever."
After finishing his noodles, Shan Qingshan felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable, so he went to find some digestive pills. He also wanted to find two sleeping pills that Zhou Chong had prescribed, in case he couldn't sleep tonight.
The sleeping pills were held in the palm of his hand.
Shan Qingshan felt somewhat uneasy.
Will Zhou Chong stay tonight?
The sound of dishes being washed came from the kitchen.
Two bowls, a pair of chopsticks, and a pot—it doesn't take much effort.
Dan Qingshan walked out of the bedroom and saw Zhou Chong standing at the kitchen door with wet hands, looking in the direction of the door.
He quickly asked, "Zhou Chong, it's raining outside, did you bring an umbrella?"
Zhou Chong looked at him, "Is it raining?"
Shan Qingshan nodded, trying to remain calm and make his lie seem like a lie.
"The rain wasn't heavy, but it was very dense."
"I didn't bring any. Could I stay here for the night?"
Shan Qingshan nodded.
I found his clothes in the closet and handed them to him.
Zhou Chong took it, saying, "You're still keeping it."
The voice was calm, drifting into Shan Qingshan's heart, as if Zhou Chong held proof of his love.
"Go take a shower."
Zhou Chong nodded and went into the bathroom.
Shan Qingshan waited outside, worried that something might happen to him.
When he comes out, hand him the sleeping pills.
"Your eyes are very bloodshot, you ate..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Chong grabbed the bag and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't even drink any water, just swallowed it whole, and then shuffled off in his slippers toward the bedroom.
Seeing him like this, Shan Qingshan's heart clenched.
Not wanting him to sleep alone in the bedroom, I quickly took a shower and went back to the bedroom without even drying myself off.
As he lay down, Zhou Chong reached out and wiped the water droplets from his neck.
"It wasn't dried."
Shan Qingshan wiped it haphazardly a couple of times.
"There's probably a leak."
Zhou Chong didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Shan Qingshan from under the covers.
Shan Qingshan also turned to look at him, like two injured and weak cubs gazing at each other in silence.
It was Shan Qingshan who reached out and held his hand in the blanket.
"Are you cold?"
Zhou Chong took his hand, placed it on his waist, pulled him closer, and gently embraced him, comforting the void in his heart.
He asked in Shan Qingshan's ear.
"Teacher Shan, don't they say that fools are lucky? Why didn't he have that?"
Shan Qingshan was heartbroken, but didn't know what to say.
The night grew ever darker in the silence, almost engulfing people.
Shan Qingshan hugged him tightly and lifted him up in the darkness.
"If you want to cry, then cry. I won't see you."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Hot tears rolled down Shan Qingshan's neck, burning his heart and lungs.
-
Zhou Chong's mood improved considerably the next day, but he was still somewhat depressed.
Shan Qingshan hated himself for being so quiet. He awkwardly tried to find a few topics to talk about, but all of them ended in failure.
On the third day, Zhou Chong told him that he was going back.
"My friend's company seems to be having some problems, I need to go back."
"good."
Zhou Chong opened the door.
The key was in my pocket; he came to my house to look for it the day before yesterday.
The person is not here.
Then I went to the film studio to wait.
He didn't want to give it.
Deliberately testing the waters.
Let's see if he wants to go back.
"I didn't bring your keys."
Shan Qingshan's expression was serene. "Just put it away."
Zhou Chong curled his lips.
I really want to kiss Shan Qingshan's talking little mouth.
I held back.
"I'll come back to you when I'm done."
Zhou Chong is gone.

When Shan Qingshan went to Haoluo Prefecture again, Wenzhu noticed that the man's mood had visibly improved.
I threw away the cigarettes I was smoking so heavily a while ago.
Wen Zhu snorted coldly, "Didn't you say you weren't going to look for them?"
Shan Qingshan wanted to be reserved, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded like boasting.
"He came to find me."
Moreover, they have resumed contact in the past few days.
Zhou Chong didn't talk much about work with him, but Shan Qingshan could tell he was very busy.
They didn't have much contact, but like a lotus root thread, they were connected.
Wenzhu, after being fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), immediately knocked on his door and bought him a bottle of good wine.
Shan Qingshan: "Does Captain Huo feel at ease with you acting like this?"
Isn't this much more lucrative than being a police officer?
Asparagus fern winks at you.
"That's why Captain Huo comes to give me ideological lectures every few days, afraid I'll betray the organization and him. Last time he even bought me a code of conduct, and I wasn't allowed to leave until I memorized ten pages! Ten pages! You beast!"
Shan Qingshan: "..."
Shan Qingshan: "What about that girl I mentioned last time who could be a witness?"
"She was unwilling and afraid. I can understand."
Wenzhu took a sip of wine.
His eyes, hidden behind long eyelashes, held a resolute and ruthless determination.
"Then I'll handle it myself. My existence is to stop her from being afraid."
Shan Qingshan picked up his warm water glass and clinked it against his wine glass.
"I'd love to present you with a banner of appreciation."
He raised an eyebrow, and immediately became the top-selling asparagus fern in Haoluo Prefecture.
"Then sir, why don't you buy two more bottles of wine?"
"……roll."
Although Shan Qingshan had a cold face, his movements were not rude, and he was also good-looking.
Wenzhu was a convincing actress, often praising Shanqing Mountain to her colleagues in Haoluozhou in private, which made many people envious.
Shan Qingshan was unaware of this matter.
The downside of not knowing was that as soon as I left Halo State, another waiter started harassing me and chased me for quite a distance.
"Mr. Shan, why don't you give me a try? I know a lot of things."
Shan Qingshan ignored him, but he was still annoyed by him.
They all wanted to take action, but the grip on him suddenly loosened.
The affected voice disappeared, replaced by an unpleasant, fierce one.
"So you're the one who seduced my wife here?"
