Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 30
"Okay," Zhou Shengchen nodded, his body was a little stiff from standing all night, "I'll be back soon."

Xiaoren's eyes flickered, he could see clearly.

What made him want to say something, but didn't dare to speak?He went downstairs, thinking about Xiaoren's strange behavior. There were two girls cleaning the room on the first floor. He took out a dark blue checked handkerchief from his trousers pocket, and pressed his nose and mouth lightly to avoid possible cockroaches. of soot.

Avoid talking about it... avoid talking about it in front of mother...

He paused slightly, thinking of Shi Yi.

The moment he thought of her, he had already quickened his pace and strode out of the courtyard along the Qingshi Road.

Because of Wen Xing's illness, the entire courtyard was in an absolutely isolated space. Anyone who wanted to enter had to be sent by Zhou Shengchen's mother to be let in.He forgot this, and was so concerned about Wen Xing that he forgot about this question.

Sure enough, when he walked out of the yard, he saw Uncle Lin's confidant not far away, looking at him anxiously but hopelessly.

He walked over, and those who were guarding were forced to make way.

"What's wrong with Shi Yi?" Zhou Shengchen grabbed the man's arm and clasped his fingers tightly.

"Miss Shi Yi is resuscitating."

"rescue?"

The man immediately explained: "Last night, in the middle of the night..."

Zhou Shengchen could no longer tolerate him saying anything, so he pushed him away and walked away quickly.There are 68 large and small courtyards in this house, and 1118 houses. There are many people and miscellaneous.He is always calm and always on the sidelines. The relationship between these people can be directly separated. For the sake of profit, it cannot be separated without feelings.

Purpose, benefit, humanity.

He prided himself on being able to handle it all.

There is only time, only one time, he can't see through it, can't solve it.

Can't stay calm, can't watch.

He wanted to think about what went wrong. He was already at the end of the chess game, but he still couldn't protect her.But completely incapable of thinking.There is also fear, a sense of fear that he has never tasted, tightly wrapped around him, binding his hands and feet.

He walked up the stairs, but he didn't dare to go up again when he heard the conversation of the rescuers on the second floor.

Not even a step.

He believes in natural science and is not afraid of death.

But he was afraid she would die.

The fear of leaving, cruelly corrodes the nerves and blood vessels.

Zhou Shengchen suddenly clenched his fist fiercely and smashed against the handrail of the stairs. The excessive force made the whole staircase vibrate.All the people present were shocked, and the little girl who was walking down from the second floor was also frightened, and looked at him in a daze:
"Master..."

Slowly, she stopped dreaming.

It's time to wake up, almost, it's time to wake up, right?

She tried to wake up from the nightmare again, her eyes were swollen, and she tried to open them to see a ray of light.Not too glaring, as if covered by a layer of fabric, leaving only a comfortable light, the color of the fabric is similar to the curtains at home in Shanghai...it seems to be exactly the same...

at home?Really in Shanghai?
She suspected for a moment that she hadn't struggled out yet, but just entered another nightmare.

Until she could see his face and eyebrows clearly, she forced the corners of her mouth to rise, but she didn't have the energy to speak.

"Acute appendicitis," he said softly, "I took you back to Shanghai because I was afraid that the doctor at home might not treat you well."

Acute appendicitis?

It really hurts like hell.She doesn't want to recall that pain anymore, and only admires those who have experienced this kind of problem.

But returning to Shanghai for acute appendicitis, is it too much fuss?
She closed her eyes, pursed her lips lightly, her lips were a little dry, um...

I don't know why, maybe because her body is too weak, she is inexplicably sad and frightened.

Afraid of leaving him.

Shi Yi, Shi Yi, you are getting more and more delicate.

She secretly despised herself, but she was still tempted by something, and called him softly: "Zhou Shengchen?"

"Hmm." He leaned over, getting closer, so that she could speak with less effort.

Eyebrows are so clean.

Shi Yi looked at him carefully: "I... tell you a secret."

"Speak." His voice was slightly low and steady.

"After I died in my previous life," she said softly, pausing for a few seconds, "I never drank Mengpo soup."

I don't know if he can understand what Meng Po soup is.

He smiled slightly: "In the underworld?"

She smiled, he is so kind, and he knows how to cooperate with her: "Yes."

He hummed: "So, that old woman let you go?"

Shi Yi frowned slightly, she was remembering, but couldn't remember clearly: "Yeah, maybe it's because... I haven't done anything bad."

He couldn't help laughing: "Then I must have done something bad, so I was forced to drink?"

"No." She was serious for a moment, and then relaxed quickly, afraid that he would feel strange, "You are fine."

"I'm very good?"

"Ah."

Very good, there is no one better than you.

He whispered, "You know me?"

"Yes," she smiled softly, "I knew you in my previous life."

She looks at him.

I know you and I regret that you no longer remember me.

But it's okay, I always remember you.

Zhou Shengchen still leaned over to look at her until she closed her eyes and kissed her forehead lightly.

He gradually entered the mode of thinking without any emotion and objectively.

He has a good memory, and he still remembers how he heard the doctor say she was out of danger, and how he walked down the second floor.Uncle Lin told him about Shi Yi's unexpected situation in the most concise way.

Not very toxic, ancient ingredients.Long-term erosion is the most fatal injury.

What triggers it?A cup of tea, or a stick of incense, or exquisite refreshments, are all possible.

"Do you think our family needs to use such gentle means if we want a girl to disappear?"

This is also the reason for his suspicion.

Since the purpose is clear, if it is a mother, why do you need to infiltrate it bit by bit?
Or is it too easy to trust yourself?There are very few people who can freely approach Shi Yi, except for his confidants, there is also Mei Xing... The most feared thing will eventually happen.Everyone around me has followed for many years, and everyone has too many relationships behind them.Human behavior is ultimately for a certain purpose. What is it that needs to be repeated again and again to kill her?

He is liquidating, the relationship behind everyone, and the possibility of various purposes.

Shi Yi fell asleep again, and seemed much more at ease.

Breathe evenly soon.

Zhou Shengchen inadvertently raised his hand, slightly bent his index finger, and touched her face.

During the recuperation days, Zhou Shengchen stayed with her at home, and at the end Shi Yi started to protest and asked him to do what he needed to do.There are some things that she is embarrassed to say, as he is by her side 24 hours a day, she can basically do nothing, and she is always distracted to pay attention to him.

On the contrary, Zhou Shengchen should read books and work.

She was afraid that he would not get used to living here for a long time, so she proposed to go to the separate small building he had prepared for his wedding.He refused, and only slightly changed the layout and furnishings here to make the environment more suitable for her cultivation.

Comfort everywhere, attention to detail.

She was really devastated by this illness.

When the parents came, they were really frightened by her haggard appearance.

Shi Yi was afraid that his parents would blame Zhou Shengchen for not taking good care of him, and repeatedly said that he had rarely gone to the gym in the past six months, and his health was so poor that his appendicitis became like this.

Regarding the treatment, Zhou Shengchen said that he chose conservative treatment at that time, without surgery, and she also felt that if the medicine can reduce inflammation, it is best not to go into the operating room. "I'm afraid of pain," she tapped lightly on the back of his hands and arms with her fingers, "I think so, I'm actually very delicate...not only afraid of pain, but also afraid of the dark," she joked, looking at him, "would you Do you think I'm squeamish?"

When he was in Wuzhen, because of some vague voices, he would talk with him until dawn.

Zhou Shengchen meticulously wiped each of her fingers with a damp towel: "No."

"seriously?"

"very serious."

"In addition to reading, drawing, cooking, cleaning the room, and dubbing..."

He laughed: "Very versatile."

In fact, the most proud things were all taught to her by him.

He wiped her hands, pulled up some cashmere blankets for her, and brought pastries for her.She saw his slightly damp hair after taking a shower just now, and stroked it casually: "It's autumn, if it always happens, you'll catch a cold."

"Don't be afraid, there is your secret recipe." He smiled, his voice slightly soft.

She knew that what he was talking about was the perilla leaves that had been soaked for him.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other through the thin lenses.

A certain feeling quietly breeds.

He coughed softly, stood up from the sofa, and flipped through the discs in the disc cabinet: "Watch a movie?"

Shi Yi thought it was funny, and thought for a while: "Look at Xun Qin Ji, you can watch it for a few days to pass the time."

"Okay." He didn't care, and bent down to insert the switch of the DVD player.

From her, he could see his shadow on the TV screen that was not turned on.

Very clear outline.

He watches the DVD player, she watches him.

Light blue fleece trousers and a white shirt, the same as the last time I lived in my own home.Clean and simple, Shi Yi was fascinated by the sight, lay down on the side of the sofa, buried his face in the blanket, and was almost obsessed with watching.

Zhou Shengchen finally finished the disc, picked up the black remote control from the TV, and turned around to think about what to say to her.

But looking at her gesture, she immediately saw through her little thoughts: "Sometimes you look at me, it really makes me feel like I am a star."

"Am I that superficial?" Shi Yi covered half of his face with a blanket and said in a muffled voice, "Zhou Shengchen, I love you."

He responded, and couldn't help but smile.

late September.

The mother-in-law of the Wang family came suddenly, followed by the grandchildren of Wang's parents who had met once, and several middle-aged women in exquisite clothes.It had been several months since we met last time, and the elderly mother-in-law was still polite to her, even a little more friendly.When the mother-in-law sat down on the sofa, she lightly grabbed Shi Yi's hand and also sat down, as if she knew very well that she was not in good health.

"The eldest young master is a bit impatient, and the wedding is too close, so I won't give my mother-in-law more time." The mother-in-law smiled, and lightly held Shi Yi's hand, "There are only six sets, take a look, do you like it?"

Suddenly, Shi Yi went to see Zhou Shengchen.

The corners of his lips pursed unconsciously.

He gave them the sofa, sat in the wooden chair, leaned his elbows on the armrests, and smiled at her too.

"This is just the first sample." Seeing the reactions of the two of them, the mother-in-law couldn't help laughing. "I guess I'll come here three or four times. You should take a look at these first."

"I'll go over next time." Shi Yi was really embarrassed to let such an elderly mother-in-law run around, "Mother-in-law is ready next time, tell us in advance, I can go over."

"It's okay," the mother-in-law laughed, "You've just recovered from a serious illness, and Wen Xing is in the hospital in Shanghai again. If I come here once, I can see two people. Otherwise... I don't know when Wen Xing will recover. Come to the town to see me."

Zhou Shengchen told her about Wen Xing's hospitalization.

However, because of her physical condition, she was never allowed to visit the hospital.

When the mother-in-law said this, she also had a chance, and said along the way, that she happened to go to visit the doctor together.Zhou Shengchen did not stop her this time.

Someone opened the box, and after a while, there was a dark red shelf for hanging clothes.

Six sets of Chinese and Western wedding dresses were hung up one by one.

She has worn many sets of clothes, all from the hands of the Wang family.

But most of them are made by juniors.

This time it was the dress for the wedding banquet, and the mother-in-law of the Wang family proofed it herself, so it was different.Indescribably luxurious, but restrained, no matter in terms of material selection, appearance, or sewing handwork, it is impeccable.

When Shi Yi tried on clothes, he was in the study room, only Granny Wang and Zhou Shengchen were there.

He casually asked, why didn't Wang Man come this time?She knew that because she was a female family member of the Wang family, most of the time, out of taboo, they asked Wang Man to accompany Shi Yi to try on clothes. Even if Wang's mother-in-law came, she would probably do the same.

Shi Yi asked this question out of concern.

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law sitting next to her was a little silent. When she realized it, the mother-in-law had already sighed a little and said, "She is also in Shanghai, but she is raising a baby."

Feed?

Shi Yi remembered that Wang Man was still unmarried.

how come……

She didn't dare to ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Zhou Shengchen coughed lightly and said, "Grandma Wang, I'm sorry..."

"That girl chose it all by herself," Granny Wang shook her head, "You don't need to be sorry, the young master, that girl knows that the second young master is married, and she still wants... Now she has moved out of the Wang family. No one other than the family is allowed to enter the ancestral house."

Shi Yi came to a sudden.

After she tried on the clothes, Granny Wang left the study room first, and Shi Yi said softly, "When did Wang Man get pregnant?"

"It's about the same time as Tong Jiaren." Zhou Shengchen patted her arm lightly, "Go change clothes."

"Well...it's a pity."

According to the Wang family's mother-in-law's "no one other than the Zheng family is allowed to enter the ancestral house", Wang Man should have "married" to Zhou Wenchuan.It is not surprising that the ancient Zhou family can allow multiple houses to exist.

What is the pity?
She couldn't tell.

I asked for it but couldn't get it, so I compromised.

It's just that if you really get it, can it be regarded as fulfilling your wish?

The two changed clothes in the fitting room.She put the shirt on for him and fastened each button one by one, gently, from bottom to top.He propped his hands on the closet and slightly held his chest, cooperating with her movements.After she buttoned it up, she slid her fingers around his neckline to confirm that the details were in place, and then Zhou Shengchen explained in a low voice: "There are some things in the Zhou family, if you are not used to seeing them, just pretend you don't know."

She hummed.

Wen Xing's inspection indicators have been unqualified, and the date of surgery has been pushed back and forth.

She studied medicine by herself and paid attention to self-cultivation, and her situation seemed to be improving.

The Wang family's mother-in-law was getting old, and after a few words with Wen Xing, she left the hospital.Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen accompanied her to the lawn bench to bask in the sun.Wen Xing sat down, Shi Yi stretched out his hand to ask Zhou Shengchen for a thin blanket, and pressed it on her lap.

In the afternoon of early autumn, the sun falls on people, warm but not hot.

She was sitting next to Wen Xing, and Zhou Shengchen was standing beside her.

"It's already... September in the lunar calendar?" Wen Xing smiled, looking at Shi Yi with crooked eyes.

Shi Yi nodded: "The seventh day of September."

"The ninth lunar month... is the chrysanthemum month, right?"

"Correct."

Wen Xing frowned and complained: "September and December are easy to remember. A season of chrysanthemums is called Juyue, and the other is icy and snowy, called Bingyue. The rest, I was forced to remember when I was young, saying it was Write it down, and now forget it all."

Shi Yi was amused by her: "I don't need these, so I don't mind remembering them."

"But," Wen Xing said softly, "Mei Xing likes... girls from famous families."

She froze for a moment, probably guessing what Wen Xing meant.

This little girl, the person she keeps in her heart is the one who "remains as before withered willows and lotuses".

Maybe there was some feeling before, but it has not been implemented.Counting it, Wen Xing is twelve or thirteen years younger than Mei Xing, and Mei Xing seems to be hiding something. For a 35-year-old unmarried man, it is impossible to have no story, right?Just like Zhou Shengchen, who is not very keen on the relationship between men and women, he was engaged twice in order to cope with his family.

She didn't know Mei Xing, but she knew that Wen Xing was revealing his hidden thoughts.

And she just happens to be the least able to explain people.

Fortunately, Wen Xing changed the subject.When she was talking, her eyes were sometimes curved and sometimes widened, she was very involved in the drama, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time, and it was rare to meet someone who was speculative.After sitting like this for more than 40 minutes, he was sent back to the room by Zhou Shengchen and Shi Yi, his cheeks were still flushed, and he was very excited.

At the end, when they leave.

Wen Xing suddenly told her: "Wang Man has a special status, sister-in-law... try not to visit her."
