(1. Past life)
Outside the delivery room of the hospital, several people were milling around.
Shao Chong stood a little further away, looked down at the time, and his eyebrows gradually raised into the character "Chuan".
It has been more than five hours since Cheng Xin entered the delivery room, and there was no movement inside. It is said that when a woman gives birth to a child, she walks through the gates of hell. Cheng Xin has always been squeamish and has never endured hardship. If...
No, no, no, no if, Shao Chong forced himself to get rid of the bad thoughts in his mind.
Cheng Xin's pregnancy test status has always been very good, and there will definitely be no accidents.
But he couldn't help but think about it. Cheng Xin was only more than eight months pregnant. If she hadn't accidentally fallen downstairs in the morning, it would still be some time before the baby was born.
People often say, "Seven live and eight don't live..."
Another thin layer of sweat broke out in Shao Chong's clenched hands.
Something happened suddenly. Jing Hao was on a business trip abroad. Cheng Xin was in critical condition and no one was with him.
Mr. Jing died of illness a year ago. She didn't trust the Jing family and didn't want her parents to worry, so she called him to come over and accompany her during the delivery.
When he learned the news, Shao Chong was anxious and angry.
What did Jing Hao do? His wife is pregnant with his child for more than eight months, and it seems that the baby is about to be born. He actually wants to go abroad for a business trip
He is really not a qualified husband!
Shao Chong felt sorry for Cheng Xin. He stared at the door of the delivery room for a while, then hesitantly called the Cheng family's parents.
The only daughter of the two elders was Cheng Xin. Hearing that her daughter fell down and was born prematurely, she couldn't care about the company's affairs, so she hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed over.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the hospital. When he learned that Cheng Xin had been suffering for five hours and his son-in-law was still not around to take care of him, he felt a little dissatisfied with Jing Hao in his worry.
Listening to Cheng's mother blaming Jing Hao, Shao Chong nodded silently. She secretly warned herself that when Gu Jin becomes pregnant, she must leave the company to her father for the time being, and he will stay with her and take care of her.
However, according to Gu Jin's temperament, he will definitely be more cautious and steady after having a child. Even without him, I can still take good care of myself.
Thinking of the child, Shao Chong's heart couldn't help but soften.
She has been married to Gu Jin for five years, and both Shao Chong's parents and friends are full of praise when they mention her.
He was not young anymore, and when he suddenly recalled his infatuated love for Cheng Xin when he was young, he still felt a little flutter in his heart, but it was only for a moment, as if everything had become a thing of the past.
On the contrary, Gu Jin's color became more and more vivid in his mind.
Sure enough, time can change people the most. After being with someone for a long time, even though you know you have no love for her, you will still keep your eyes on that person.
Silently, just like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly turning the other person's presence into a habit, and finally drowning in that warm water.
For more than a year after completely taking over the Shao family business, he has been actively preparing for pregnancy with Gu Jin.
Especially after learning that Cheng Xin had a child, the urgency to have a child became even greater.
My parents also kept a close eye on me, and mentioned it several times in front of the young couple openly or secretly.
Shao Chong considers himself a good and considerate husband and is unwilling to put pressure on his wife. Just let things happen with children. They are still young and there is nothing wrong with the two of them spending more than two years together.
It was just the call from Gu Jin that made Shao Chong feel uneasy.
At that time, Cheng Xin had just arrived at the hospital and his condition was unstable. He hung up the phone in a hurry.
Forget it, go back and tell her clearly. She has a deep relationship with sister Cheng Xin and will understand him. Shao Chong's frown slowly flattened, with a slight smile on his lips.
Suddenly, Shao Chong's heart palpitated as something was pulled away with force. Waves of dizziness hit him, and his vision turned black.
The spinning moment passed, and everything returned to calm, as if the heartache just now was just an illusion.
At this time, the door of the delivery room opened and the nurse came out. Shao Chong tried his best to ignore that feeling and asked hurriedly: "Hello, how are you doing inside?"
The nurse looked him over, wondering if he was not the man who had accompanied the pregnant woman to her prenatal check-up before. With a smile on his face, he said: "I've given birth to a daughter. Both mother and daughter are safe."
Shao Chongsong sighed.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng were beaming with joy, eager to take a look inside the delivery room...
The moment the child's powerful cry rang out, Jing Hao came around the corner from the hospital.
The two nodded to each other, and Jing Hao said "thank you" and walked past him to find his wife and daughter.
Suddenly, Jing Hao's steps stopped. He turned his back to Shao Chong and said in a deep voice, "Shao Chong, it's time for you and Gu Jin to have a child."
Shao Chong stayed for two seconds and moved his eyes to the door. The family inside had a warm and happy atmosphere.
He lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, but his heart felt relaxed, as if a heavy burden that had been carried for a long time was lifted.
Before the smile appeared on his lips, his phone rang again, and he guessed it was Gu Jin calling.
It just so happened that Cheng Xin had just given birth to a daughter, so I wanted to share this good news with her.
Shao Chong planned to wait for Cheng Xin to return home in two days, and then he and Gu Jintong would visit him, hoping to absorb the newborn's spiritual energy and let their child come soon.
The surprise came unexpectedly, the other party only said a few words, and Shao Chong's expression changed instantly. His eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief. The phone in his palm fell to the ground as if he couldn't hold it anymore, making a dull "dong" sound.
The policeman's calm and solemn voice echoed over and over in his mind: "He was stabbed three times in the lower abdomen, killing one and two..."
His ears were buzzing and he didn't know what was ringing. Shao Chong suddenly remembered the phone call from Gu Jin.
He staggered over, picked up his phone and checked it. It was a call from two hours ago. He kicked the phone away as if throwing away something unlucky.
The hospital floor is bright and spotless, and people in the delivery room are celebrating the birth of new life. Shao Chong suddenly lost all his strength and fell to the ground miserably, with red threads in his eyes.
He passed countless red lights along the way, and when Shao Chong arrived with a blank mind, the crime scene had been cordoned off.
Shao Chong was wandering not far away with a white face. Until now, he still couldn't believe the news that Gu Jin was dead.
No, not just Gu Jin, but also their children.
However, his hopes were shattered the next moment. His parents-in-law, who had always been solemn, had lost their former elegance and grace. With their backs bent and supporting each other, their hair suddenly turned two layers of white.
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on his body, and Shao Chong could not move his feet even one step.
If Gu Changsheng realized something, he turned to look in the direction of Shao Chong.
But seeing that he looked frightened and dull, and looked miserable, Gu Changsheng's eyes grew hot again when he thought of the scene when he and Gu Jin reviewed their home together a few days ago.
Shao Chong walked over and called out softly: "Dad, Mom." He wanted to smile as usual when he saw them, but the corners of his mouth moved for a long time, but they didn't curl up.
Gu Changsheng sighed, patted his shoulder, was silent for a moment, and finally left only one sentence, "Go and see her."
After walking outside the dilapidated door, Shao Chong realized that this place was very desolate, and the nearest cement road was several hundred meters away.
Gu Jin's body had been covered with white cloth, so pure and peaceful that his trembling fingertips finally lacked the courage to cover it.
His eyes were fixed on a pool of blood in the corner of the house. The blood stain spread and stretched several meters long, until it reached the door, where there was another pool of blood.
With a "plop", the busy people in the room saw a man in a suit kneeling on the ground. His shabby clothes could not hide his handsome appearance. They just took a quick look in surprise and continued to work...
Shao Chong knelt down and laughed, "haha", his body tilted from his laughter. Smiling, he stood up.
The sun was shining brightly outside the house, and Shao Chong felt chilled all over as he stood at the door.
…
"Sir, someone is coming to Madam's house." The servant opened the door carefully, and a pungent smell of alcohol hit the room, and he sighed.
After Mr. Shao came back that day, he locked himself in the room and refused to leave.
Three days later, Mr. Shao called someone to force the door open. Only then did he discover that Shao Chong was suffering from alcohol poisoning. He quickly sent him to the hospital for gastric lavage treatment.
But when Mr. Shao came back, he acted like a ghost again. If he wasn't given a drink, he would make trouble and smash things in the house. Afraid that he would hurt himself, Mr. Shao asked someone to give him low-alcohol wine.
After waiting for a moment, it was still silent inside. The servant walked back as usual, feeling sour in his heart. How could such a kind lady encounter a robber? Judging from Mr. Shao's appearance, he might not be able to get out for a while.
well!
"Ask him to wait, I'll go down right away." To his surprise, Shao Chong echoed, but his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Shao Chong, you bastard!" As soon as Gu Teng saw him coming down from upstairs, he grabbed his collar and punched him.
The servant wanted to come up and pull him away, but Shao Chong stopped him.
"Where were you when my sister went to the hospital? What the hell were you doing?" Gu Teng hit his face hard again, "Who are you, Cheng Xin? It's none of your business that she gave birth to a child?"
"When my sister was kidnapped by the robbers, you hung up the phone on her. Are you comfortable with killing two people? You accomplice!"
Shao Chong didn't fight back and let Gu Teng beat and scold him. He even felt that he was too gentle...
While typing, Gu Teng found it boring. He asked with a sneer: "Does my sister owe Cheng Xin? She has lived in her shadow all her life. Even her own man cares about her more."
Shao Chong's body froze.
Gu Teng left, and Shao Chong sat on the sofa for a while. He looked towards the balcony out of habit and was surprised to find that the vase Gu Jin placed there had been changed.
Looking around, the decoration in the living room has been completely changed.
"Someone! Someone, someone!"
"Sir, is something wrong?"
"Who asked you to change things? Who is so bold!" Shao Chong pointed to the balcony, his eyes almost cannibalistic. His eyes, matched with his bruised face, were a little funny and more penetrating.
The servant was startled and muttered: "Sir, it was you who smashed it..."
"I..." Shao Chong suddenly remembered something, slowly lowered his hand and collapsed on the sofa.
After a while, he asked the servants to take three days off, and no one was allowed to appear in the villa.
After all the servants left, he got up and walked around the villa. After walking around every corner, Shao Chong felt empty in his heart. The light in his eyes became dimmer. After so many years together, he had so little memory of her. Now, even if he wanted to pretend to be deeply in love, he didn't have much to remember.
He is a joke, why should he look down on Jing Hao
As the night passed, the coffee table in front of the sofa was filled with empty bottles. Under the hypnosis of alcohol, he closed his eyes and vaguely saw a girl running and jumping on the lawn calling him "Daddy, Daddy", followed by a gentle and beautiful woman chasing her to be careful.
Shao Chong bent his lips forcefully, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
(2. This life)
Gu Jin woke up again, in his junior year.
The difference from last time was that this time, her rebirth period was advanced by more than two months.
Even after three days, Gu Jin was still a little baffled, and being reborn was already incredible. It is simply a fantasy for a person to be reborn twice.
But that's what happened.
The memory goes back to the previous life.
Her soul body did not disappear after her death, but she witnessed the fate of everyone with her own eyes. When he learned that she had been kidnapped, Shao Chong was accompanying Cheng Xin in the hospital to give birth. His great anger and unwillingness caused the air to float. Just as she was surprised, a vortex suddenly appeared and sucked her in.
Because the energy of the vortex was too great, her soul fell into a coma. Waking up from a coma, she found that she was reborn at the age of 20. Before he could be happy about his rebirth, he found that his body had been invaded by outsiders.
Before she started fighting for the right to use her body, she fell into coma again due to the instability of her soul. Because of the friction between their souls and bodies, they both had memories of each other, but the woman thought she was being swallowed.
Gu Jin woke up three months later and was shocked when she got the other person's memory. It turns out that the world she lives in is actually a novel, and the heroine is her best friend Cheng Xin.
The description of the basic events in the book is almost exactly the same as what they experienced, except for her death.
Gu Jin's mood was a bit complicated, especially after seeing what happened between 'her' and Mu Mingcheng, he had no motivation to fight for his body.
That's all, what can she do if she takes her body back? If it were her in this body, she would definitely not be doing so well.
The other party is also a kind-hearted girl. She has been feeling guilty after taking over her body, and she still wants to avenge her.
To be honest, if she had just started to be reborn, she might be very cowardly when facing Cheng Xin and Shao Chong. What's more, Shao Chong was reborn for some reason.
Although her feelings have dissipated due to what she learned after her death, she's not sure she can cut through the mess with a clean cut.
Thinking of what she heard in the dark, the man wished her a good ending and was willing to continue doing charity for this purpose. Gu Jin thought that she might have found the reason for her rebirth.
"Are you awake, Xiaojin?" Cheng Xin opened the door with a smile, and her face suddenly collapsed when she saw the sober person in the room, "Oh my God, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
She looked surprised, "We are going to the amusement park with Jing Hao and Shao Chong today. Did you forget?"
Gu Jin glanced at Cheng Xin with complicated eyes. Only she would like to go to a place like an amusement park. But if she likes it, the two men are willing to make her happy.
But, she didn't want to. After two lifetimes of hatred, Gu Jin has become indifferent to it. She doesn't want to live in resentment and unwillingness.
After a moment of silence, Gu Jin lowered his eyelids and said, "Sorry, I can't go today."
"Don't be shy," Cheng Xin laughed out loud and teased, "Is it because Shao Chong is here too, so you're embarrassed?"
Gu Jin raised his head, looked into her eyes calmly, and refuted her for the first time: "I have nothing to do with him. He likes you. Don't get me involved with him in the future. The literary club asked me for something, and I want to Go take a look and you go have some fun.”
"No, he likes you..." In Gu Jin's black and white eyes, Cheng Xin's eyes dodge and she could no longer speak, "Okay, then I'm leaving." She walked out of the door blankly, feeling something was wrong. . But she didn't think much about it, as long as she could be with Jing Hao.
It seems that it is not difficult to say "no" to Cheng Xin. Gu Jin dropped the tone of imitating someone's words, pursed his lips and smiled.
The happy mood was stuck after entering the conference room.
As the vice president, she is very close to Tong Lin. In the past, Gu Jin wouldn't have cared. But knowing Tong Lin's intentions, she felt very awkward.
She tried to adjust her breathing and communicated problems with the members. But occasionally when his eyes came into contact with Tong Lin, he couldn't help but blush.
'Gu Jin' didn't know the meaning of his book, but Gu Jin did.
It was the beginning of her freshman year, and she was flipping through a book called "History of the Ming Dynasty" in the library. A boy with the fragrance of soap locust on his clothes came from the aisle and read the name of the book with a smile. They exchanged a few words with each other because of their hobbies, and Gu Jin's words revealed his regret for the fall of the Ming Dynasty...
The meeting was over. Gu Jin sat in his seat without moving, seeming to be deep in thought. When she came to her senses, she and Tong Lin were the only two people in the room.
Gu Jin panicked for a moment and squeezed the bag in his hand.
"What's wrong with you?" Tong Lin asked in a calm tone, but there was clearly concern in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Gu Jin was stunned.
I've been brave once, so being brave again... doesn't matter, right
Under Tong Lin's concerned gaze, she said thoughtfully, "President Tong, I remember that you also like the history of the Ming Dynasty. Can I ask you a few questions later?"
Tong Lin was obviously shocked. Soon his eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Okay, there is a cafe nearby. Let's go there to talk."
