Do not hesitate

Chapter 29

From that day on, Si Luochen would bring various nourishing soups to see Wang Shaoke every day, hoping that she would recover as soon as possible.

Seeing her complexion improving day by day, Si Luochen was really relieved.

"The doctor said that the scar on your stomach might not go away, but it's a pity that my sister didn't catch the person who hurt you, otherwise..." Si Luochen said.

"I remember his appearance. There is a scar on the back of his hand. I will definitely recognize him next time I see him." He touched his face with his hand and said with relief, "It's a good thing I didn't hurt my handsome face, otherwise It's really disfigured, you really have to be responsible to me." He reached out and picked up the orange that Si Luochen had cut, and put it in his mouth.

Only at this time can I enjoy the personal service of the eldest lady, which is really a blessing in disguise.Seeing that Si Luochen just smiled and said nothing, he asked again: "Qiantong has been in England for more than a week, has anyone contacted you?"

Si Luochen shook his head in response, and the room fell into silence.

This week, Si Luochen missed this person all the time.Because of her absence, this city made Si Luochen feel strange.

If it wasn't for her sister and Wang Shaoke still here, she wouldn't be able to stay here for a moment.

Wang Shaoke regretted asking this question very much, and coughed twice: "Maybe it's busy there. I asked the doctor, and he said that it will take at least a month before I can fly."

Si Luochen came back to his senses and reminded: "You have to be obedient and have a good rest. It doesn't matter if you stay for a while, you know?"

"It doesn't matter what I do." The optimism on her face was very in line with her personality, and she said, "Just take a long vacation for yourself. Since I opened the office, I haven't had a vacation for a long time."

Si Luochen snorted: "Do you want to thank me for hurting you?"

It is said that women should not be messed with, especially this kind of woman who fights back immediately.Wang Shaoke was almost choked by the orange, coughed twice and affected the wound on his abdomen...

Totally tragic.

"Okay, okay, you're so big, and you're still so careless when you eat." He smiled and comforted him.

Wang Shaoke: "..."

Just when he was about to say something more, Si Luochen's cell phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.

After looking at it, it was connected.

After answering the phone, Si Luochen was a little surprised, and quickly made an appointment to meet, and thanked him again and again.

Wang Shaoke on the side was a little puzzled, and stared at the woman in front of him with an orange in his mouth.

Won the lottery?

Seeing that Si Luochen hung up the phone, he asked curiously, "Is there a problem!?"

Si Luochen raised his eyes to look at this gossiping face, and gave her a blank look: "What's the matter? You eat your oranges well. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Hey, just came and left?" Wang Shaoke blinked, with a pitiful look on his face, and said very cutely: "I... am here alone, so boring."

Si Luochen let out a laugh: "Why are you pretending to be pitiful, I'm not Shen Lue, this trick only works on her." Ignoring it, he got up and left with his bag.

"I..." I stretched out my hand to stop it, but it was too late, my arm was still hanging in the air, and my mouth was slightly open.He paused for a long time before saying that sentence: "I didn't pretend to be innocent, not to mention... Qiantong is not here, how could there be someone more important than me?"

...and finally became a soliloquy.

Si Luochen took a taxi to the door of the familiar apartment.Standing quietly downstairs for a long time, trying to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, he mustered up the courage to open the door and walk in.

Standing in the elevator with a slight frown, it seemed that his breathing was a little dull.

Walking out of the elevator, I saw an old woman standing at the door.Obviously, the old lady was a little surprised to see Si Luochen's expression.

"You wrote that letter?" The voice was different from the voice on the phone.

"Hello, I wrote it. May I ask who you are?" Si Luochen responded politely.

The old lady looked at Si Luochen carefully, the surprised expression on her face gradually disappeared, she said with a faint smile: "My daughter made the call, but I didn't expect that the person who wrote this letter to me was such a young girl."

Si Luochen stood there with a smile, and asked politely, "Do you want to go in and talk?"

The old woman shook her head: "No, I just finished my thoughts and left. I never thought of selling this house. This is where my daughter married her husband and lived, and it is full of happy memories. But... When we read your letter, we were very moved, and we also missed the beauty of being an adult."

Originally, this matter was not up to her to decide, but she just wanted to see what kind of person the person who wrote this letter was.Nowadays, few people will use handwritten letters to express their thoughts of another person, including all the happy times in this house.

It reminds the grandmother of the happy memories she had with her husband.

"Really?" Si Luochen said in surprise.

"But...Didn't Miss Xiang say she was going to leave? You..." The old woman still couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively, "Are you really... lovers?"

Si Luochen knew what the old lady meant, and nodded slightly: "I'm just doing what I can, I don't know if she will come back. But... a place full of memories, I want to protect it in my own way, thank you very much Your fulfillment."

The old woman sighed softly and asked, "Is it worth it? You are still so young."

Pursing her lips, she nodded without hesitation: "It's worth it."

The old lady nodded: "People who are persistent are good people. So I decided to temporarily hand over the house to you for safekeeping. After three years, if you still decide to buy it, can I sell it to you?"

Si Luochen was very grateful: "Thank you... I really appreciate you."

After seeing off the old lady, Si Luochen stood in front of that door for a long time before mustering up the courage to open it.Hold your breath, open your eyes, the environment you see is exactly the same as the last time you left.

It's just... Missing Xiang Qiantong.

Take a step and walk to the kitchen.Recalling Xiang Qiantong's busy appearance while cooking, here, she said to her: "Me too."

A pair of mugs in front of me were placed there tightly next to each other. I stroked them lightly with my hands, but they became so cold under my fingertips...

Si Luochen nestled on the sofa with her knees in her arms, recalling those happy times in her mind... She watched TV with Xiang Qiantong in her arms, and read a book while lying on her lap.We don't need too much language to each other, just a smile, and we will understand each other.

But here... there is no such warmth anymore.

Turn on the light in the second bedroom, and the jigsaw puzzle of the world is still unopened on the table.

Si Luochen held it tightly in his hand, and tears fell down unconsciously.At that time, Xiang Qiantong's eyes clearly told her that this puzzle can be completed together one day.

If you can't, why give her hope.

Si Luochen, who was lying flat on the bed, turned his head and looked at the other half of the bed next to him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he hugged the pillow tightly into his arms.I really want to find that warm and charming taste from it, but...the reality is so unsatisfactory.

The memory of happiness is always short-lived like fireworks, and it disappears before people have time to feel it.

But... at this moment, besides trying his best to protect these only memories, what else can Si Luochen do?

A sneer.

Why all people can understand and support, but you always escape.

Why can't you get your courage even if you get everyone's blessing.

Xiang Qiantong... If I didn't find you and didn't get recognition, wouldn't I be so sad?

It would be great if it was just pure persistence.

The most tiring and most tormenting thing is after the attachment...then the attachment.

In the middle of the night, Si Luochen dragged his tired body back home, but saw Si Ruonan in the living room.

Si Luochen said lightly: "Haven't you rested so late?"

"Not sleepy yet, have you eaten yet?" Si Ruonan asked.

Si Luochen nodded: "I've eaten."

"Mom called today and asked when we're going back." Si Ruonan put her hands in her pockets and asked while standing in front of Si Luochen.

Si Luochen thought for a moment, then replied: "When Shaoke is discharged from the hospital, I still have some things to deal with, at the earliest... a week."

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements. After a busy day, go to bed early." Si Ruonan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Si Luochen: "Sister, thank you for your hard work. You specially waited for me to come back."

Si Ruonan turned around and raised her eyebrows: "..."

"I'm going to the rehabilitation center tomorrow. I have a patient there. I'll be back soon after I'm done."

"Are you really, okay?" Si Ruonan confirmed, "For the past two days, you don't watch the news or watch TV... I'm a little worried."

Si Luochen lowered his head, and it took a long time before he responded: "I'm getting used to it, so...it should be fine. With you by my side, I don't worry about getting mental illness."

"Luochen!" Si Ruonan didn't like her negative appearance.

"Just kidding, how can I be so fragile. As a psychiatrist, I naturally know how to control my mind..." Seeing that Si Ruonan was silent, he continued: "If you want to live a relaxed life, there is naturally a way to relax. Tired, and very tired. Don't worry, I know how to untangle myself."

"Then rest early, huh?" Si Ruonan said softly.

Si Luochen nodded: "You too, sister."

Si Ruonan didn't respond, just nodded and left.

That night, Si Luochen didn't know if he stayed in that apartment for too long, but he had a long, long dream.

To be exact, it was a happy dream.

in a dream.

When you wake up, you will see the person you like smiling at you, leaning over and kissing, then getting up to prepare breakfast.Then the two went to work together, working together on harder psychological problems.

As soon as the holiday comes, we will arrange the trip hand in hand, with the purpose of completing the puzzle.

Seeing the jigsaw puzzle taking shape little by little, Si Luochen smiled happily.

It's just that when I turned my head, the people around me disappeared...

She was alone in the empty room, and the jigsaw puzzle on the wall was gone. Even the dream reminded her that this was just a dream.

Open your eyes, look at the square ceiling, recalling that dream kept emptying.

After a long time, he sighed.

Si Luochen straightened up, went straight into the bathroom, and drenched himself with water.

I finally understand that no matter how happy a dream is, it is just a dream, and waking up will make people even more sad.Everything is just a true desire in the heart.

It's a pity that reality is like a cruel knife, stabbing you again and again, and then constantly sprinkling salt on your wounds, and then waiting for the scabs to scab, and tearing them apart...the constant repetition makes you feel miserable .

...until finally numb.
