They returned to the old house in Zhenjiang again on the three-year anniversary of Wenxing's death. When they returned from the cemetery, Zhou Shengchen unexpectedly asked to come for incense. She was very surprised, but she didn't object. She just hugged the youngest Zhou Mushi on her lap and looked at him amusedly, "My scientist, why did you suddenly get the hang of it?"
He smiled, and just about to say something, Zhou Mushi caught his finger.
A one-year-old kid who opened his mouth was about to hold his index finger. When Shiyi stopped him, he wiped Zhou Shengchen's fingers with a sterilized wet tissue, and then put his index finger into his son's mouth...
This great scientist who studies Venus is completely reduced to his son's toy.
She teased her son to play, but forgot the previous question. Zhou Shengchen looked at her, smiled and did not continue.
The two-year-old twin sisters are more lively than this younger brother. Because they have learned to walk, they like to stroll around the temple slowly. Uncle Lin and the two girls are taking care of them, but they are not worried.
She didn't want the child to enter the hall, and carefully handed it over to the nanny next to her, and walked in alone.
She believed in Buddha and was always pious when she entered the incense. She folded her hands together and knelt on the kneeling mat that had already had two deep marks. She worshiped the Buddha three times. When she opened her eyes, she found a figure kneeling down beside her.
It turned out to be Zhou Shengchen.
She looked at him incredulously, watched him put her hands together, closed her eyes, and didn't know what wish she was making to the Buddha.
For so many years, she has never seen him worship Buddha... This change is amazing.
The Buddha smiled and looked down at them in the hall. Shi Yi looked at him without blinking until Zhou Shengchen put down his hand and opened his eyes.
"When did you believe in Buddhism?"
He laughed: "Three years ago."
"three years ago?"
"Yes, three years ago," he said, reaching out his hand to help her up, "three years ago, you didn't want to wake up and were sleeping all the time."
"And then?" she asked impatiently.
"Then I took you back to Shanghai. When I cleaned the room, I saw what you wrote."
"I know... But what does it have to do with your belief in Buddhism?"
"You can't wake up, I was in a hurry and went to the doctor, so I came here." He told her in a low voice, recalling, "It was night when I came here and there was no one. Then I stood here and remembered that we had Discussing faith outside the hall, I tell you I am an atheist."
She let out an "um", as if she saw him facing the Buddha in the hall with swaying lights.
"At the time..." He laughed, "I confronted the Buddha for a long time, but still gave up. I begged him to wake you up. Since he made you remember all the past and came to me, then you should wake up and be with me. Together."
"Um… "
He has been to this thousand-year-old temple many times since he was a child.
He had told him that he was an atheist and would always stand outside the hall to watch the scenery.
Three years ago, when she woke up, he told her that he believed all the words she wrote down, and she couldn't believe it anymore. Three years later, I heard him talk about that night, how he bent his knees and knelt in front of the Buddha, praying for her to wake up... Shiyi even felt a little distressed.
It is the pain, the pain of loss, that can make a person have such a transformation.
She gently pulled off the cuff of his shirt, "I feel so distressed by you..."
He laughed.
"Really," she said softly, "very distressed."
If you really love someone to your bones, you will hope that this person will not be bound by anything, from the mind to the body, you can do whatever you want. She even felt that making him from believing in science to believing in Buddhism had caused him to be wronged...
"Time is right." He couldn't help laughing.
"Um?"
"We have three children," Zhou Shengchen reminded her, "I think you don't need to distribute your maternal love to me, just give them."
This description... She laughed.
They walked out of the main hall.
Shiyi suddenly thought of something and asked him: "What can you see now when you see the Buddha?"
"You are asking me, has the answer changed from before?"
"Yeah, I'm curious."
Zhou Shengchen turned his head and glanced at the Buddha in the temple, "Compassion is still compassion, but this kind of compassion has a somewhat humanized feeling."
She laughed: "Why make you say so weird..."
"Or, not just being compassionate to the common people," he turned his head, grabbing Shiyi's shoulders, and walked into the sun completely, "It's also compassion to me, he finally... let me go once."
She was amused again.
Since having children, Zhou Shengchen has become more and more joking.
She even felt that this man had completely become two people when she first saw him at the airport. At that time, although he was polite and smiling, it made you feel afraid to speak to him, but now... well, finally caught the fireworks.
The lunch was eaten at the restaurant under the mountain. This was the first time that the children had a vegetarian meal.
The two daughters can already use the spoons by themselves, eating one by one, but the youngest son still needs to feed them. Shi Yi was holding his son and coaxing him in a low voice when he heard someone keep asking Ann and saying, "Little Master."
Someone opened the curtain and Zhou Shengren walked in.
Before I stood firm, my two daughters called my uncle one after another.
"Which one should I hold first?" In Zhou Shengren's dark eyes, it was rare to laugh again. "Why don't you hug either, it's fairer."
Shi Yi laughed: "It's true that you just sit down quickly, otherwise the two of them will throw away the spoons and get up from the chairs."
The teenager under the age of twenty is already a lot taller than her, standing there with his own deterrent.
But I really listened to her sister-in-law, and immediately pulled the chair away and sat down, "Okay, I'm sitting down, you two have a good meal."
As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, the two female dolls had already thrown away the spoons, well, I couldn't help it.
Shiyi was also very helpless, Zhou Shengchen never forced children to eat, and didn't care. In the end, the two daughters entangled Xiaoren with a smile, and he stopped eating, holding one in one hand, and sat on the sofa to play with them, "Big brother, you can give me a daughter... Forget it, both. Me, I promise you will be very good for you."
Zhou Shengchen shook his head to himself, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Back to the old house, Shi Yi changed to light clothes in the room when the sun was shining in the afternoon. Zhou Shengchen sat in the open study on the second floor and began to send and receive emails. When she came out, she heard him on the phone.
She just wanted to walk over, when she heard her son wake up and crying, she had to walk back again.
Once he held him in his arms, he immediately laughed.
Shi Yi couldn't let go of him, so he walked out and sat beside Zhou Shengchen.
A familiar voice could be heard vaguely. It should be Mei Xing. She didn't understand what the two people were discussing, so she sat with her and teased her son. When the bad boy was playing happily, Zhou Shengchen had hung up the phone and watched her teasing her son with interest.
"Done?" she asked casually.
"It's over."
"You good friend, you really work hard."
"He is also making money, and he is not working for me for free." Zhou Shengchen smiled, stretched out his hand, and patted Shiyi's forehead.
The natural movement stopped at the end, and the beauty was like a jade right beside him. His hand slid off her forehead, gently raised his index finger, rubbed the cheek of the time, warm fingers, ambiguous and affectionate movements. Shi Yi will never resist these things. She feels that she will always look like a girl who is in love with him.
His words and deeds, every movement of him, can make her heartbeat upset.
She breathed gently, her fingers still being held by her son.
Zhou Shengchen finally slid his finger down, supported her chin, raised her head higher, and lightly touched her lips. Shi should avoid, "I'm still holding my son..."
Unexpectedly, he was persistent, and only asked her: "Don't continue?"
She blushed instantly.
Today's continuation is not as simple as it was back then.
It's just after one o'clock in the afternoon... If you hand over your son to the nurse, you will definitely be guessed what to do.
She was still hesitating.
Zhou Shengchen had already lifted her chin, and wanted to continue kissing, undecided to dissolve her.
Before he touched him, he snapped and was slapped on the face by a small slap.
My son went crazy...
Zhou Shengchen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
Shiyi also kept laughing, and stood up while holding his son, "Here, you beat your dad, and you will be punished tonight, so you can't sleep with your mother." Before the words were finished, I heard Zhou Shengchen calling his grandmother. Come in, take your son away.
When the nurse smiled and took Zhou Mu away, she coaxed in a low voice, saying that she should not mess with her parents.
Shi Yi was embarrassed before he had time, but he was already trapped behind him.
"Just now, when I saw you kneeling in the hall, I suddenly felt that I was a coward in my previous life."
She was thin, kneeling in the empty hall, facing the ten-meter-high Buddha statue, looking extremely small. He thought of the things she wrote down, the life she couldn't talk about, how she quietly read the book in the library of the palace when he led soldiers again and again, and silently prayed for his safety.
And he really let her love him for a lifetime without any response.
Shi Yi shook his head and corrected him: "You are a great hero, not a coward."
You and I are neither gods nor buddhas, how can you tell the prophet
In this way, it is the best ending.
"Zhou Shengchen."
"Um?"
"Let me draw a picture for you?"
"What do you want to paint?"
"Draw you," Shiyi thought for a while, and then smiled suddenly, "I paint people better than lotus flowers."
