Moving the company was busy with moving, even though Shen Tuchuan was doing most of the work during this period, Ji Ting was still dizzy, and he was completely relieved until everything was settled.
She has been working since she was an intern in her senior year, and it has been more than two years now. Now she suddenly relaxes, and she feels unexpectedly good, and she is full of energy. Shen Tuchuan saw it, and proposed to ask her to rest for two months before returning to the company to work. She thought about it and readily agreed.
During her free time at home, what Ji Ting does most is to look up information about psychological recovery after being bullied on campus, and occasionally meet with a psychologist to chat about this.
The more I know, the clearer it is that Shen Tuchuan really hasn't really got out of the shadow of being bullied. Now he can only say that he doesn't care, not let go. Ji Ting talked a lot with the psychiatrist, and came to the conclusion that Shen Tuchuan can only heal himself.
This is troublesome, if he can walk out by himself, how can the shallow trace remain there? Ji Ting sighed, the more idle time, the more sad he felt.
One weekday morning, Ji Ting woke up with a frown. The moment she opened her eyes, she met Shen Tuchuan's deep eyes. She was startled: "Aren't you going to work today?"
"Well, no." Shen Tuchuan reached out and stroked her hair.
Ji Ting was puzzled: "Is there something wrong with the company? Why didn't you go all of a sudden?"
"I want to stay with you at home." Shen Tuchuan chuckled and hugged him into his arms.
Ji Ting was even more puzzled, and leaned on his arm and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of staying with me at home? What's wrong with you? It's so disturbing." The abnormality is almost abnormal.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time, kissed her fragrant hair, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything unhappy recently?"
"Huh? No, why do you ask that." Ji Ting looked up at him.
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes and looked at her, pursed his lips for a while and said, "I saw your search records during this period. Are you looking up something about depression? I heard from the driver that you have seen a psychiatrist before."
"..."
"Listen, are you sick?"
When Shen Tuchuan said this, his lips trembled slightly. He was obviously a well-known business genius outside, and he controlled the development of huge projects while talking and laughing, but every time he was in front of Ji Ting, he would become A bewildered child, disturbed by every little change in her.
Ji Ting looked at the worry in his eyes, and really didn't know how to explain it. After thinking about it, he had to answer truthfully: "No, I'm helping you check those."
"Help me?" Shen Tuchuan was slightly surprised.
Ji Ting nodded with a sneer, and told him all her worries about the part about removing the birthmark. Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time after listening, and didn't know what to say for a while. He wouldn't be angry with Ji Ting, thinking that she was just looking for trouble, because since the two of them met, he had a feeling of "whatever Ji heard, that's what it is." 'Cognition.
After being quiet for a long time, he considered and said: "Those people in the past, I admit that they have made me very unhappy, but they are not enough to be my fear."
"I know, you have been growing up very well, and you won't let others really affect you." Ji Ting held his hand comfortingly.
Shen Tuchuan held her hand in his backhand, and after a moment of silence, he pressed a kiss on her hand, without expressing his real fear.
He had frequent dreams for a while, in which he returned to the time when he was being bullied by wicked people. When he woke up, he was often afraid, but not because he was afraid of the harm brought by those people, but because he was afraid of himself without Ji Ting by his side. That self eventually became a demon, slaughtered all those who harmed him, and finally committed suicide in the teaching building, teaching the world a lesson with his own blood.
How desperate and dark the dream was, how much he minded after waking up, so his favorite thing during that time was to cling to Ji Ting. Only by being close to her could he feel that he was truly alive.
"Listen, I love you so much." Shen Tuchuan whispered.
Ji Ting chuckled and kissed him on the face: "I love you too."
"Thank you for not being sick." Shen Tuchuan was infinitely grateful when he heard that she was not sick.
Ji Ting responded in a low voice, and said after a while, "Thank you for growing up safely, and being able to be with me for a lifetime."
Shen Tuchuan smiled, and lifted the quilt to wrap the two of them together: "Since the two of us thank each other so much, how can we just say it, why not show it with actions."
... When did this habit of driving when there was a disagreement develop
The two of them messed around at home for half a day, and Shen Tuchuan still went to work. He didn't want to go, but when Ji heard that he wanted to accompany him there, he thought he could try the comfort of the new office desk, so he readily agreed.
"...Why do I feel that you have no good intentions?" Ji Ting came out after changing his clothes, and felt that his eyes were strange.
Shen Tuchuan shook his head solemnly: "Why, let's go." After saying that, he took her hand and drove away. At the same time, he was still thinking, if this desk is not comfortable enough, then move it from the old office. After all, no one can listen to suffering.
After Ji Ting sat in the co-pilot, he heard him muttering something, and after hearing the content clearly, he looked at him speechlessly: "Can't you think more about health?"
"Isn't exercise healthy enough? I only like sports." Shen Tuchuan wore a suit and tie, and his glasses were replaced with relatively elite gold-rimmed glasses.
Ji Ting snorted, and refused to communicate with him anymore, leaned on the co-pilot and stopped talking, Shen Tuchuan held her hand with a smile, Ji Ting struggled twice but did not break away, so he had to let him go, dumbfounded up.
In the end, Shen Tuchuan tried the new table as he wished, and in the process asked Ji Ting seriously about his comfort. Ji Ting couldn't bear it and took a picture of the folder before closing his mouth and working steadily. By the time the two of them had finished their quarrel, it was already dark outside, and the people in the company had left cleanly.
"It's all your fault, how old you are, it's not serious." Ji Ting complained while combing her messy hair.
Shen Tuchuan sat on the chair and looked at her happily, not revealing that she also liked it very much. By the time the two of them cleaned the office, it was already almost ten o'clock at night. The two walked downstairs holding hands. After seeing each other's reflection on the door panel of the elevator, they couldn't help laughing.
"Stupid..." Ji Ting covered his face speechlessly after laughing.
Shen Tuchuan grabbed her shoulders and walked out with her in his arms. When they were about to reach the garage, the two of them and a security guard bumped into each other, and they were all taken aback when they saw each other's faces.
"Li Wen?" Ji Ting was surprised.
Li Wen glanced at them awkwardly, shrugged his shoulders uncomfortably and said, "Okay, long time no see." After he transferred to another school, it didn't take long for him to steal things at his previous school, and then he dropped out of school. He went to work, got married early a few years ago, and is now the father of two children.
When his uncle introduced this job to him, he resisted it in his heart. After all, he felt humiliated no matter how he thought about working for a classmate who was bullied in the past, but it was an indisputable fact that this job paid more than security guards in other places. Having been in the society for a few years, I have long since lost the capital of arrogance, and I am grateful to be able to maintain my life.
Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan looked at each other, seeing that he had no expression, he smiled and greeted: "Are you working here?"
"Well, being a security guard is pretty easy," Li Wen said, and hurried to the control room to turn on the lights, and the lights on both sides of the garage immediately turned on, and he smiled flatteringly, "It's getting late, you guys drive back quickly .”
"... Hey, good." Ji Ting nodded, and drove away with Shen Tuchuan.
The car was driving on the way home, and there was silence in the car. After a long time, Ji Ting sighed: "A person who was such a jerk back then can actually work steadily now."
"He might be a jerk now, but his family is not rich enough and his parents are getting old, so he doesn't have the qualifications to continue being a jerk." Shen Tuchuan said calmly. He would not tell Ji Ting that he found out that the person who took their photos was Li Wen, nor would he say that he used the same method to publicize Li Wen's stolen things to his later school.
He will grow up according to Ji Ting's expectation, and he is willing to wield the butcher's knife for her at any time, but there is no need to tell her these things. Wherever she looked, it should be the cleanest and best thing.
Ji Ting stared at the front for a while, and then spoke: "Actually, most of these people's futures are doomed. They use their study time to bully others, and when it comes time to test their learning results, they either drop out of school or go to a bad school." Even if there is something that can change this state, it will take several times the time and energy later to make a little change."
"You mean that the wicked will eventually be rewarded with evil?" Shen Tuchuan was thoughtful.
Ji Ting shrugged: "Although it is not absolute, it is about the same. Those who did evil in the past will pay the price for their evil, and those who are silent will be drowned by silence one day. Everyone will have their own end. It’s not up to them to decide.”
"What about us? Which direction will we go?" Shen Tuchuan was a little curious.
Ji Ting chuckled: "Of course it's a long life and a hundred years old together. No matter whether others or lemons or slander, they will always hold hands without being influenced by the outside world. In the end, they will be buried in a grave and stay together completely."
Shen Tuchuan heard the unstoppable upturn of his lips, but still gave her a warning look: "What about the grave, it's unlucky, let's talk about something else."
"Then what does my Mr. Shentu want to talk about?" Ji Ting tilted his head and looked at him.
Shen Tuchuan smiled: "Let's talk about what to eat tonight. I'm very empty now, and I need to make up for it."
"... So, in the future, please don't be so unrestrained, how can you just do that kind of thing all day long." Ji Ting was speechless for a moment.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, and replied with 120% sincerity: "As long as I can control it, I won't just do that one thing all day long."
"..." I shouldn't have talked to him about this.
Meeting Li Wen that day was like throwing a pebble into a lake, and after a few ripples, the lake calmed down, and no one mentioned him anymore.
Day by day, Ji Ting finally finished her long vacation, and on the day of the winter solstice, she was honored to become the special assistant of President Shentu. The reason why it is special is that it is close to home with more money and less work, and the personal service of the president. Occasionally, the president will handle the work that cannot be handled in person. It is not like going to work, it is like being an emperor.
Ji Ting was not used to it at first, but gradually he got used to it. He and Shen Tuchuan went to and from get off work, bought vegetables and ate together every day, as if they had returned to the state of sticking together 24 hours a day in high school. The amazing thing is that the two not only Don't feel bored, but enjoy it very much.
"If I knew that we could stay together forever, I would have recruited you in your internship year," Shen Tuchuan said with emotion, "Now that I think about it, it's a waste of too much time."
"It's not too late now. According to the retirement age, we can still work together for forty years." Ji Ting snatched the bread from him, took a bite and returned it to him.
Shen Tuchuan didn't mind being gnawed by her, and continued to eat the food in his hand: "Forty years? Sorry, I plan to retire at the age of forty and travel around the world with you."
"Your goal... I like it." Ji Ting laughed.
Shen Tuchuan pinched her nose, and Ji Ting protested dissatisfiedly. The two were playing in the room when there was a knock on the office door, and the two returned to seriousness in a second.
"Please come in." Ji Ting said solemnly, and as soon as she lowered her head, she met Shang Shen Tuchuan's smiling eyes, and she glared at him.
The door of the office opened, and the secretary from the outside came in: "President, madam, the security guard downstairs named Li Wen said that he was your high school classmate and wanted to see you for something." She was a little uncertain in her words, after all, the president and No matter how Madam looked at it, she didn't seem like someone who could interact with a security guard.
Ji Ting was surprised: "Li Wen? What is he doing here?"
"I don't know, he's downstairs now, do you want to see him?" The secretary sweated seeing Ji Ting's reaction, and thought to himself that it was lucky that he didn't push it directly.
Ji Ting looked at Shen Tuchuan, waiting for him to make up his mind. Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "Call him over."
"OK."
When Li Wen went upstairs, he was always embarrassed. When he arrived at Shen Tuchuan's office, he felt that his security uniform was incompatible with the luxurious decoration here, and he lost all confidence when he spoke.
After listening to it for a long time, Ji finally understood that they were invited to a class reunion, which was the intention of many people in the class, and she was speechless for a moment. How could these people have the face to think that they will completely forget about the past, and they can participate in their so-called party without any grievances.
When Li Wen spoke, he showed a hint of flattery uncontrollably: "I wanted to invite you before, but you have been out of town and were afraid of disturbing your work, so you didn't invite you all the time. Now that you have finally returned, you have to talk to your classmates. Let's get together, isn't it?"
He said this coincidentally, as if he didn't invite Shen Tuchuan and Ji Ting before because he was afraid of delaying their work, not because no one in the class had their contact information.
"Understood, you go back first, we will go when we are free." She smiled and said. There are rules for adults in the world of adults. She didn't intend to go, but she wouldn't refuse directly, and it could be regarded as giving him three points of face.
Li Wen also understood this truth, and went out with a shy answer, which was considered to have completed the task assigned by the students.
As soon as he left, Ji Ting clicked his tongue: "Didn't he transfer schools at that time, why did he still have contact with those people? No one spoke for him when he left."
"Don't try to understand their way of thinking." Shen Tuchuan got up to help her straighten her cuffs.
Ji Ting looked up at him, and suggested for a while: "When it's almost time for the party, just find a reason to refuse."
Shen Tuchuan paused with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said, "Go and have a look."
"?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her and smiled slightly: "Don't you always want me to let go of the past? I'll go and see them, see what my past is like, and then come back."
"...Then I will go with you."
"No need," Shen Tuchuan refused, "I'll just go by myself." Those people would be dirty even if they took a second look, so it's better not to let Ji Ting get in touch with them.
Ji Ting looked at him disapprovingly, but finally compromised, because she remembered what the psychiatrist said, only by himself can he truly get out of the past, and in this process, she seems to be unable to help.
On the day of the class reunion, Shen Tuchuan went out as usual, Ji Ting stood at the door to see him off, looked at the coat on his body and said worriedly: "Why don't I go with you."
"No, you rest at home, I'll be back soon." Shen Tuchuan pressed a kiss on her forehead.
Ji Ting pursed her lips: "Every time like this, you are so stubborn that it makes people angry."
Shen Tuchuan smiled: "Don't be angry, I will bring you a small cake when I come back."
"...Well, I'll ask the driver to take you there, so don't drive." Ji Ting was afraid that those people would be uneasy and kindly pour him alcohol, so he asked the driver to accompany him, saying that he was going to drive, but in essence, he wanted to do whatever he needed to do. Be able to report to her in time.
Shen Tuchuan knew her worry, and did not refuse her arrangement, obediently sat down in the back seat, waved to her and left.
After he left, Ji Ting has been restless. Although Shen Tuchuan's status today, no one would dare to bully him like before, but in her heart, he has always been a little cabbage who has no power to fight back. If you are not careful, you will fall into the way of others.
... When thinking about this, she completely ignored the fact that Shen Tuchuan was also a piranha.
Ji Ting became uneasy for as long as he stayed at home, and finally changed his clothes and went out.
Shen Tuchuan at the party was also very boring, looking at the happy and excited smiling faces in front of him, it was rare to feel that things were right and wrong.
Although it has been so many years, since he and Ji Ting haven't changed much, there is no sense of time passing. Looking at these people now, those who have gained weight just two or three years after graduation, those with long wrinkles, It dawned on him that time has always been traceable.
Zhou Yang and others who had bullied him at the wine table would also take the initiative to toast him. After he said that he would not drink, he took the initiative to drink the contents of the cup, but generously let him replace the wine with tea. The female classmates who looked down on him and ignored him before would dress up today and wanted to sit next to him, but he refused on the grounds that Ji Ting didn't like it.
The whole class reunion was very lively because of him, and because he was a little more careful, Shen Tuchuan suddenly laughed when he looked at the people in front of him. In fact, although the appearance has changed, the hearts of these people have not changed. Over the years, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages seems to have become their instinct. Even if they know that they will not support anyone, they can't help but please themselves.
It turned out that the fear and hell I thought I used to think were all made up of such vulnerable things. After Shen Tuchuan laughed, he put down the cup in his hand: "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Okay, okay, you are busy, go back quickly, do you need me to take you?" Li Wen asked immediately.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at him: "I have a driver."
"..."
As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the box froze for a moment. Everyone present realized the gap between them and Shen Tuchuan. When they were still struggling with food and clothing, Shen Tuchuan had already reached Rome far away.
Shen Tuchuan didn't bother to pay attention to their mood, turned around and went out after speaking, and saw the waiting driver outside the door, after a moment of silence, he told: "You go back, I'll take a walk, and I'll take a taxi later."
"Okay sir." The driver got the order and drove away.
Shen Tuchuan walked quietly on the road, looking up at the stars in the sky. It was already past eleven o'clock at night, and there was no one on the road. His body was stained with the smell of tobacco and alcohol in the box, which could not dissipate for a long time.
In the end, he couldn't help but took off his coat, and walked forward slowly with it in his hand. The cold wind blew on his body, and he was instantly sober.
"Let me see which kid doesn't come home in the middle of the night."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Shen Tuchuan turned his head in surprise. In the next second, a coat was thrown off his body, and the one in his hand was taken away. Ji Ting looked at him proudly: "I knew you would not dress well when you came out."
"Why are you here?" Shen Tuchuan was a little surprised.
Ji Ting glared at him, and after he put on his coat, he raised the roasted sweet potato in his hand with a smile: "Deng Deng! I'm afraid you're not full, so I'm here to deliver food."
"Thank you." Shen Tuchuan took the bag, wrapped it in a paper towel, peeled off one and handed it to her, and then took another one to eat by himself.
The two of them walked slowly towards home, and when the steaming sweet potato came into their mouths, people couldn't help but let out a white breath. Shen Tuchuan's heart, which he didn't know where to put down all night, suddenly had a place to rest .
"It's pointless to say that you are not allowed to come, but you still have to come?" Ji Ting glanced at him.
Shen Tuchuan smiled: "It's not completely meaningless."
At least when he approached those people like in a nightmare, he realized that the things he feared when he was a teenager were so trivial, and the things he had been really worried about would never happen.
The boy in the dream may never be able to wait for his Ji Ting, but he has been holding Ji Ting's hand, and will go down without any accident. His Ji Ting will never leave him.
Shen Tuchuan looked sideways at the little girl beside him, the deep affection in his eyes was undisguised. Ji Ting breathed out and took a bite of the sweet potato, her heart trembled suddenly, and then a dead leaf spun down from the tree, and stopped suddenly when it fell to the height of her eyebrows.
Ji Ting paused with his fingertips, and looked at the people around him in a daze. Shen Tuchuan had already froze, and the overflowing emotions in his eyes also became eternal.
"This...success?" Ji Ting's pupils trembled slightly. The moment she asked this sentence, a dark hole appeared behind her. The next second, Shen Tuchuan moved and reached out to remove the dead leaves in front of her eyes.
"Ji Ting." He opened his mouth slowly, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, the next second Ji Ting's eyes went dark, and there was no one there.
The author has something to say: This world is over, I hope that evil will be rewarded in reality, and those who have done bad things will end up doing nothing but watching those who have been bullied by themselves fly higher and higher, and hope that those who have been bullied People can walk out of the garbage dump and out of the shadows to a more kind world as soon as possible!
The next world, remember to turn the page!
