"What you just said... hasn't finished yet," she still remembered, "Why, you keep refusing to tell me the truth?"
"Can't you guess?"
"Can't guess."
"If I told you that there are often ghosts in a certain hotel, would you stay in?"
"No... I'm afraid of ghosts."
"I'm afraid too," he paused and told her, "I'm afraid if you know there are ghosts everywhere, you will choose to leave."
He said that he would be afraid.
And the fear is that she will leave.
This is the first time he said what he would be afraid of.
Except for Wen Xing's affairs, he will put himself in it. With the remaining people and things, he is more like a bystander, always maintaining his due rationality, attitude and values.
Even for Wen Xing's death, he finally retained his values.
She believed that the person who asked him to put down the gun that day was not someone else's explanation, but his own heart. After all, he is different from Zhou's family and will not allow himself to be convicted and convict anyone of life or death.
The mountain road was winding, and after a short turn, those who cleaned the fallen leaves could no longer see it.
She hooked his neck with her hand and raised her head.
He stopped and looked down at her: "What's the matter?"
"If I kiss you now, can you hold me?" she asked softly.
He was a little surprised, and then his voice softened: "No problem."
Zhou Shengchen adjusted the strength of her arms slightly and hugged her a little higher.
He felt that she wanted to take the initiative, so he let her come up. Shiyi closed his eyes, slowly licked the corners of his mouth and lips like a cat, and then went deep and kissed him.
Love is deep, and I am most afraid of losing.
Afraid of gratitude, fear of life and separation, and even more fear of death.
She remembered that she was also very scared, even after two people became husband and wife, she would be afraid that he would leave her suddenly. Of course, the gentleman made a promise, and he was so important that he always kept his promise from the phone call to propose.
Accept her, get acquainted with her, understand her, and love her.
And she treats him like a chess game: no matter whether she is alive or dead, she has no regrets.
When the two arrived at the old house, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the best day of the day.
When they went to the yard where they lived, they were very surprised to see the uncle and Zhou Shengchen's mother sitting in the hall, as well as several elders in the family. This was the first time that Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen were engaged to face Zhou Shengchen's uncle.
The current helm of the Zhou family has white hair on the temples, but his eyes are sharp.
Zhou Shengchen's mother was still dressed in exquisite fashion, and she had just returned to Zhou's house from the cemetery. She was still wearing a black cheongsam and her eyes were dim.
"Miss Shi Yi," Uncle Zhou Shengchen nodded slightly to Shi Yi, "Hello."
Shiyi answered, politely nodded and said, "Hello."
A simple greeting is like a statement that he accepts the status of the times and will also surrender his authority peacefully.
All the elders present laughed and asked Shi Yi's warmth, looking at her lovingly like ordinary elders. After all, everyone knows that soon, Zhou Shengchen will be in charge of the Zhou family, and this kind-hearted and harmless girl will also take over all the business in Zhou Shengchen's mother's hands.
For such a family, there is nothing more comforting than a peaceful transition.
After all, the surname Zhou Sheng has been too turbulent over the past few months, and the result now is what everyone has been expecting for a long time.
Zhou Shengchen didn't seem to like her socializing with Zhou family members, and signaled that she could go upstairs first.
After Shi Yi went upstairs alone, he sat in his favorite study room when he came, and looked through the books he took from the library when he came last time. The position of the bookmarks has not changed, and even the position of the books has not changed.
She flipped the book in her hand, and two girls went upstairs with tea and incense burner respectively.
The incense powder in the incense burner has been pressed into a plum blossom shape by incense stamps. At this time, it was placed on the incense table and ignited.
There was a vague voice of conversation downstairs, but it quickly disappeared, and it seemed that there was nothing serious. Shi Yi heard Zhou Shengchen's mother say something to him: "Xiaochen, I only have one request, be kind to your brother."
Shi Yi did not hear Zhou Shengchen's answer.
Soon he walked up the stairs. She leaned on the sofa, listening to his unhurried footsteps, until he slowly appeared in her sight, and then asked him in a low voice: "Are you all gone?"
"Let's go," he asked, "Would you like to sleep for a while?"
"Now?" She thought for a while, "I'm not too tired."
The main reason is that he chose Kalan incense, which has the effect of awakening the spirit.
Kalan incense.
Only found in thousands of years, it is the top grade in agarwood, used by the royal family in the past.
She vaguely remembered that Zhou Shengchen would send the Galan incense in Xiao Nanchen's palace to her at that time, but she was afraid that the fragrance was too strong, so she was only allowed to use it in the yard where she lived, not in the room.
"I never seem to see you like this," she asked him in a daze, "Why are you suddenly interested today?"
"It was Mei Xing's suggestion."
"Plum line?" The answer was unexpected.
He thought about how to explain this question to her: "Dogs are very sensitive animals. There have been several cases abroad. Some people have cancer. He did not find out, but he was suddenly bitten by a dog at home. He went to the doctor. I checked out my cancer," he laughed, "I only saw you barking a dog a few times, and I thought about it, so I looked through your recent physical examination records, but found that you are in good health."
Shi Yi couldn't help but laugh at it: "My great scientist, you are really careful. So? What does it have to do with Agarwood?"
"Then, accidentally mentioned this to Mei Xing, he used his heretical heresy and successfully affected me."
"Heart heresy?"
Zhou Shengchen smiled dumbly: "He said, maybe there is another situation where a dog can see something that ordinary people can't see, such as a special soul? And agarwood contains spiritual energy, which can feel ghosts and filth, maybe It will be better for you."
Shi Yi looked at her strangely.
He laughed: "What?"
"Just because the dog barked at me, you two men really discussed the ancient gods and ghosts from modern scientific theories," Shi Yi put his hands on Zhou Shengchen's shoulders, "and, you actually believe this..."
"Yes," he answered calmly, "I believe it."
