Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 27 The Unsolvable Mystery (1)
After Zhou Wenxing said a few words, he really cried.

cried very sadly.

Shi Yi was really frightened, so he went to comfort her instead: "I'm fine now, really, Wen Xing."

"I'm scared to death," Zhou Wenxing choked up, with a strong nasal voice, "I'm really scared. If you're really like that... my brother will definitely hate me."

She comforted Wen Xing: "No, he loves you very much. And it was just an accident, right?"

Every time Zhou Shengchen mentioned this younger sister, he always had a gentle look on his face.She knew that he must like Wen Xing very much, and it was the same for Xiaoren. In this old house, these few people are rare and warm.

Wen Xing looked tired after talking for a while, and still apologized guiltily.

In the end, it was her who comforted Wen Xing, and finally persuaded her to go back and rest.The girl left behind by Zhou Shengchen skillfully changed the bag of nutrient solution for her, and then smiled kindly at her.

"Thank you."

The girl still smiled: "Young Mistress, don't worry, Eldest Young Master will be back soon."

She froze for a moment and smiled.

By lunch time, he hadn't returned.

Originally, the girl wanted to feed her, but she refused with a smile, and asked for a small wooden table placed on the bed, and ate slowly by herself.I don’t feel hungry, but my stomach hurts when I eat. The girl comforts her. Dizziness and stomach pain are all symptoms after drowning. After all, the brain has been hypoxic for a while, and drowning and choking are inevitable. .

Now it is mainly the treatment of nourishing the nerves and protecting the liver.

She thought of Wen Xing's heartbeat stop, and she was a little scared, so she didn't ask.

She lowered her head and ate, always feeling that everyone's reactions were surprisingly cautious, as if... this was not an accident.

The door was pushed open.

Zhou Shengchen walked in, first looking at the person on the bed.

The white pajamas made her look weak.He waved the girl away, and Shi Yi noticed it at the same time, and looked up at him: "You're back? Have you eaten yet?"

"It's over," he sat down beside her and asked in a low voice, "Shall I feed you?"

Shi Yi blinked and smiled: "Okay."

After waking up at the beginning, he left, and she inevitably felt a sense of loss.

But now that he thinks about it, he hasn't changed his shirt, so he should have watched over him all night. When he woke up, he could finally take the time to see his sister.

"Grandma's condition was not very good last night." He took the spoon from her hand, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and handed it to her mouth, "everything has come together."

She was surprised: "What about now? Is it better?"

"It's much better. I went to see her just now, and she was still telling me jokes about the past."

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Wen Xing, she hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to ask?" He smiled at her.

"Is Wen Xing's body..."

"Yes, that's why I arranged for her to come back to recuperate."

"Then last night..."

"She was better than you last night, but not too optimistic."

"Then you still bring her to see me?"

"She insisted," Zhou Shengchen was at a loss for words, "I can't stop it."

He took another bite, Shi Yi opened his mouth obediently, and ate it into his mouth.

She could feel that he was not in a good mood today, so she didn't say much, but when Zhou Shengchen put down the porridge bowl and spoon, he took out a small box from his pants pocket, opened it, and took out the necklace.The dark red rope is tied with a pipa knot, and a white safety buckle hangs from the knot.

"Ping An button?" She pursed her lips.

"Yes, Ping An button." His voice was tired and slightly soft.

"Put it on for me." Shi Yi pointed at his neck, a little coquettishly, "You must keep me safe."

That's why he chose this one.

He took out the safety buckle, untied the knot for her, and put it on from her chest: "How did you fall into the water last night?"

"Last night?" She touched the gift he gave her and thought about it carefully, "The boat was turning around and shaking a little. Wen Xing was sitting by the side of the boat and said she was dizzy. I went to help her, but she fell into the water before she could stand still. inside."

"Not standing still?"

"Well, maybe I didn't stand in a good position, and my feet were not flat, so I fell down."

Such a momentary incident was so sudden that she really didn't think it was anything special.

The knot was tied again.

He hugged her from behind, letting Shi Yi lean into his arms: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

"Then take off your coat and lie down." She put her hand on the back of his hand, feeling very warm.

"Let's just lean on it like this," he said in a soft voice, "I don't sleep for a long time, so I can hold you like this, close my eyes and rest for a while."

As he spoke, he had already taken off his glasses and put them by his hand.

After hugging her a little more comfortably, he really stopped talking and slowly fell asleep.

She was afraid of disturbing him and dared not move.

At the end of the sitting, my body became stiff, and I still didn't dare to move, so I could only pouted my lips and muttered to myself in a funny way: My favorite scientist, do you accompany the patient like this...

He was afraid that she would be hot, so the air conditioner was turned on in the room, and perhaps because he was afraid that she would feel stuffy, the windows were also open.The temperature is very comfortable, the thought of wanting to move but not daring to move just now faded away, instead I remembered Wen Xing's words.

She remembered that when she was briefly awake on the shore, he knelt beside her and looked at her.

And what Wen Xing said was pale, and refused to say anything, just called her name.It should be in that posture, close to yourself, and gently pull yourself back from the illusion over and over again.

From the sunny study room to the brightly lit water bank.From the past to now.

She thought about it and felt very happy.

want to laugh.

After a while, he really laughed, lifted his hand quietly, bowed his head and kissed it, and then gently put it back to its original position.

The girl came to remove the needle for her, and Zhou Shengchen woke up.

She asked him if she could accompany him to see grandma.Zhou Shengchen seemed to be hesitating, but Shi Yi immediately said that grandma liked him so much, the old man would definitely be happier if he went, not to mention there would be no problem with him by his side.He finally agreed and told Uncle Lin to prepare the car.

When I arrived, I happened to meet Zhou Wenchuan and Tong Jiaren.

The two were talking with the old man. When she entered the door, she nodded slightly as a greeting.For Zhou Shengchen, her younger brother and sister-in-law, she couldn't find a good attitude to get along with. Instead, she prayed that she would see them less often, but there was nothing she could do if they encountered them.

"I don't know, I can't wait to see him born." The old man stroked Tong Jiaren's abdomen lightly with his hand, smiled faintly, and while talking, the other hand was still spinning the rosary continuously.

"How can I not see you?" Tong Jiaren said with a small smile, "I'm still waiting for you to give me a nickname."

"Yes." Grandma seemed to be in a good mood, "Your name was all given by me. After a while, you're already this big."

They are talking.

Grandma loves Tong Jiaren and Zhou Shengchen very much.

From the conversation, I knew that Tong Jiaren really grew up with Zhou Shengchen, and the old man seemed to have taken care of them both for a long time.Childhood sweetheart, should describe this kind of feeling, right?
She was sitting on a chair by the bed, not far from Zhou Wenchuan.

The two people who were temporarily left out were silent.

It's just that Shi Yi looked at the old man, and when grandma came over, he smiled, letting the old man know that he was always here with him.Zhou Wenchuan, on the other hand, just looked at Tong Jiaren, seeming to care about his wife very much.

"Mother has always wanted to see you." Tong Jiaren suddenly mentioned Zhou Shengchen's mother.

The old man hummed lightly.

There was no answer, and the topic was easily changed.

"I see that you two brothers don't see each other very often." Grandma turned to look at Zhou Wenchuan. "Why are you so rare that you don't talk?"

Zhou Wenchuan laughed: "Your granddaughter-in-law would like to accompany you more, we are all listening and sitting with you."

Zhou Shengchen also smiled and said, "Today I mainly come to see you. We juniors want to talk, so there are many opportunities."

It seems that the two brothers seem to sing together.

But it's just a look.

Shi Yi thought, if he is the last person who enters the door, he can see it, so why can't the old man see it.

Sure enough, grandma sighed softly, and said slowly: "A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, his blood qi is uncertain, and the abstinence lies in his lust; Decline, get rid of it."

She was puzzled and looked at Zhou Shengchen.

Zhou Shengchen seemed to guess what the old man wanted to say, and smiled slightly.

"You two, when you are in your prime, don't fight over things outside of you..." Grandma quickly pointed out the meaning, "Brothers are a rare fate."

Zhou Wenchuan shook his head amusedly: "You, you just think too much."

Tong Jiaren also gently touched the old man's hand: "Grandma, no, they are just two brothers. If there is any estrangement, there is still me."

The old man seemed to be smiling but continued to pinch his own one hundred and eight rosary beads.

Serious piety.

Perhaps every old man who worships Buddha is like this.

When chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, you forget the people around you who are talking with you at any time.

The four of them left the small building, and it was almost time for dinner. Tong Jiaren looked at the two brothers and suddenly suggested that they should have a meal outside together.It can be regarded as a long time no see, catch up on the old days.

"Go." Shi Yi whispered his wishes when Zhou Shengchen consulted him.

It's not far from the restaurant where Zhou's family used to entertain guests, so I simply went there.

A table for four, facing the window.

Outside the window is the lotus pond. The lotus in the water has not decayed, but it is no longer as prosperous as it was in midsummer.

"I heard from my mother that when Miss Shi Yi came last time, she painted a painting?" Tong Jiaren picked up the teapot and refilled her tea, "It can make Uncle Chen full of praise, I really want to see it .”

She smiled and said thank you: "I can only draw some lotuses. If I draw more, I will become proficient."

Tong Jiaren smiled without saying a word, and put down the teapot.

It so happened that someone brought over two cups of soup and placed them next to Tong Jiaren and Shi Yi respectively.

The four of them were a little strange, why did they bring soup before they were ordered to do anything?

"This is what Madam ordered," the housekeeper who brought it over immediately explained, "One cup is for Second Young Mistress to raise her baby, and one cup is for Miss Shi Yi's health."

She was a little surprised, too surprised.

Tong Jiaren said she got it, quickly opened it, sniffed it, and said, "Hmm...it probably doesn't taste very good."

Zhou Wenchuan smiled and shook his head: "Whether you want to drink or not, it's up to you."

Shiyi is also opened, the rich soup has a light taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

She picked up the spoon, stirred it a little, and scooped up a spoonful.

Just as he wanted to drink it, Zhou Shengchen's hand grabbed it: "You are taking western medicine, so it's not suitable to drink soup with Chinese medicine."

His voice is not high, although it is a sudden stop, the words are reasonable.

But... Shi Yi thought about it, and still expressed his intentions softly: "I'll just take a sip or two, your mother will be happy when she knows." Zhou Shengchen was still hesitating, showing no emotion.

She had already lowered her head and took a sip, frowning.

"Why?" He also frowned and asked her.

"Bitter—" Shi Yi stuck out his tongue and smiled.

Zhou Shengchen was dumb, and then laughed: "In a moment, let them make you some sweets."

"Ah."

Since falling into the water, Zhou Shengchen has become more cautious in arranging the people around her.

Walking around in this old house, there were girls and Uncle Lin with her. Sometimes Shi Yi was afraid of trouble, but instead was more content in his room, thinking that it would be fine when the ghost month passed.

After all, in Shanghai, she can still have her own circle of friends. There is really no one here who can talk to her except Wen Xing.But there is also a quiet place for her to write a book.

Sometimes I can write thousands of words a day, and then extract what I think is good, and finally copy it on official paper.

Every word and every sentence is very particular.

Zhou Shengchen's mother's attitude was slowly changing.

Sometimes even invite her over for tea.

She was afraid that Zhou Shengchen would be worried, so she would only go when he was with him.Fortunately, there is "poor health" as an excuse, otherwise, if the parents know about it, they will also say that she does not respect the elders.

Her mother would always prepare some supplements for her alone and let her eat them face to face.

This approach is very strange, just like Zhou Shengchen did to her, what to eat and what to use, you have to see it with your own eyes to be at ease.

"I heard from Wen Xing that you have read many ancient books?" His mother waited for her to put down the spoon before speaking.

"I've read some," she smiled, "I think the words and sentences in ancient Chinese are very beautiful."

"Which do you prefer?"

"It's very miscellaneous, um... I have probably read all the published ones on the market, and I have some books in my collection."

She doesn't like too complicated interpersonal relationships, so she spent most of her 20 years in this life on reading, reading about the changes of dynasties, poems and songs.

"Girls who read books, I like them very much." His mother smiled slightly, looking at her.

This was the first affirmation from his mother to him in so long.

She smiled.

"But--I still insist on my idea, you are not suitable for our family," his mother looked at her, and continued, "Your family is very good, not high-ranking officials, but also a scholarly family. Parents are harmonious and have no brothers. Sister, the social circle after adulthood is also very simple, fixed schedule, fixed things, very regular, and very casual career. Right?"

She thought for a while and said, "Yes. Spend time with your parents on weekends, read in the morning on weekdays, and record in the studio from afternoon to around midnight. You only need to face the manuscript and the sound engineer."

Zhou Shengchen glanced at her.

He seemed to want to stop his mother from asking, but for some reason, he gave up the idea.

"In addition to the relationship between classmates, there are also voice actors, your boss, your neighbors and friends, your social circle has never expanded, has it?"

"Yes," she answered seriously, "I like to spend my time on professional dubbing and reading, and spend most of the rest of my time with my parents, so simple interpersonal relationships are very suitable for me."

Zhou Shengchen's mother smiled slightly: "You have arranged your life very well and lived a very stable life. Why don't you go back and continue your life?"

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to speak, but was stopped.

"Miss Shi Yi, listen to me." The demeanor between her eyebrows was by no means instant, "Let me give you an example. Ten years ago, a cruise ship sailed from a certain pier along the coast. Mainly based on underground business, radiating all kinds of politics, minerals, land, jewelry, drugs and arms transactions."

She remembered similar words that Zhou Shengchen once said.

Regarding the cause of death of Xiaoren's biological mother.

"And the owner of this cruise ship is the Zhou family," his mother held her shawl slightly, as if recalling, "At that time, nineteen people died on board, and one of them was a member of the Zhou family, who was Xiaoren's biological mother. , and the rest are outsiders. The funds and properties circulating in the casino involve billions of dollars. And we, on our own ship, obtained the agency right to enter the Iranian auto market, and at the same time obtained the world's only independent native deposit."

His mother paused for a moment and called for a new tea.

It is Bijian Mingyue.

"Look, does it sound like a movie you dubbed?" His mother motioned for her tea.
