Chapter 210
Chapter 175:
The summit.
The dusky sunset is all hidden behind the mountain, the green mountain has a bit of spring vitality, the incense of Huichang Temple is strong, and there are still an endless stream of tourists, but most of them go down the mountain.
Compared with the entrance of the cable car, the entrance of the three thousand steps is deserted and bleak.
The lights of the whole city light up in an instant, and the lights are mottled under the mountain, and you can see the tallest building in the city at a glance.
After a while, Shen Hui walked towards the three thousandth order.
“Second sister.” Shen Siyan shouted behind her, “Why are you going?”
Shen Hui didn’t reply: “Atonement.”
Shen Fei walked down firmly, a pair of white sneakers quickly stained with dust.
Shen Siyan didn’t dare to pass her, let alone stop her, so she could only follow her silently.
There are only two of them on this road, and you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, which is smart and lonely.
Maybe the road in this world is the same, difficult and bumpy.
But there are thousands of ways to walk.
Shen Hui didn’t know what kind of mood she was in to walk down the 3,000th order, but every step she took was heavy.
Shen Siyan turned on the flashlight behind her to illuminate the road ahead for her.
She didn’t stop until she heard the sound of her knees on the ground and her head hitting the stone steps.
She and Zhao Xuning were separated by more than ten stone steps, but Zhao Xuning seemed to be unable to see her and only focused on the upper stone steps in front of her.
Zhao Xuning’s expression was as cold as ever, her body was dirty, her white coat had been rounded up and thrown to Liang Shi next to her, her white shirt had two buttons open, and her sleeves were Pulling it up a bit, his face was pale, sweat fell from his forehead, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
This is probably the first time Shen Hui has seen Zhao Xuning so embarrassed.
It’s far from what I remember.
Even if she had a miscarriage in a car accident, Zhao Xuning just had red eyes in front of her hospital bed.
After arguing with her sister in the hospital, she only shouted a few times.
I never thought that I would see Zhao Xuning like this one day.
It was just an angry word, and the resentment she had accumulated for many years was vented when she ran over.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuning really did it.
She said that she had to knock three thousand steps one step at a time.
This is Zhao Xuning.
Tough Zhao Xuning.
Shen Hui stood on the spot, her eyes were blurred, Shen Siyan handed her a piece of paper, but Shen Hui subconsciously turned her back, raised her hand to wipe away the tears, “Sand got into her eyes.”
But there is no wind.
The spring breeze is no longer blowing.
Add warmth to this cold night.
But even if the spring breeze is gone, the mess will still be messed up.
For example, the mind of a person.
Shen Hui closed her eyes and walked towards Zhao Xuning firmly step by step. When she was about to kneel, she stretched out her hand to hold her, her thin body supported all her weight.
Zhao Xuning raised her head and laughed lightly after seeing her, but the pain caused by pulling the corner of her mouth made her gasp.
Zhao Xuning’s voice was hoarse: “Why are you here?”
“Do you want to go?” Shen Hui asked.
Zhao Xuning nodded: “I promise you.”
“You can break the contract.” Shen Hui said, “I’m not engaged.”
Zhao Xuning stared at her for a while, then chuckled, “Why are you crying again?”
Shen Yan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Xuning took out a handkerchief from her shirt pocket and handed it to her: “My hands are dirty, you clean it yourself.”
Shen Fei let out a sigh of relief: “Didn’t you say that you will not kneel to the death for three thousand steps?”
“People can change.” Zhao Xuning raised his hand and glanced at his watch, “It’s already one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine, and there is still nine hundred and ninety-nine.”
She turned her face away and coughed, her face turned red, but it added a bit of blood.
Liang Shi immediately handed over the water.
There are two grey marks on Zhao Xuning’s knee, which looks like it is about to be worn out.
“Have you changed?” Shen Hui asked.
Zhao Xuning nodded: “Yes.”
She looked up at the road in front of her, but could not see the end.
Shen Hui said: “Your goal has been achieved, so you don’t have to kneel.”
“You’re soft-hearted again.” Zhao Xuning said to her with a smile, in a friendly tone, “Didn’t you agree to take revenge on me?”
Shen Hui pursed her lips: “I have already revenge.”
“But I haven’t gone up yet.” Zhao Xuning smiled: “If you promise, you have to do it.”
Shen Fei’s voice choked, “Is there still a few things you promised me that I didn’t do?”
“Which one?” Zhao Xuning asked rhetorically.
“In my junior year, you said we would watch the sunrise together.”
“In my senior year, you said that you would accompany me to reduce the weight to 100 jin. In that same year, you promised to fold a thousand paper cranes for me. In the first year of going abroad, you said Knit a scarf for me…” Shen Hui looked at her: “Do you want to continue?”
“Huh?” Zhao Xuning licked her chapped lips.
Shen Hui closed her eyes lightly, tears falling: “The last thing, you said you would accompany me to the end and never break up.”
“So, I’m still working hard.” Zhao Xuning still chuckled, her eyes were red, “The day you watched the sunrise was your period, and you didn’t sleep until two o’clock with stomach pain, I didn’t cry. you.”
“You obviously like to eat so much, and you just want to see you do what you like, so I desperately bought you something to eat, but I lost weight.”
“The stack of paper cranes was held by you as a trash can and vomited after you were drunk, and it was all destroyed and thrown into the garbage heap.”
“The scarf knitted for you…it’s so ugly. It was put at the bottom of the wardrobe. You didn’t take it with you when you went abroad, and you didn’t see it.”
Zhao Xuning spoke weakly, but she still held on.
She raised her head to look at Shen An, and blinked, “Ah, just the last one… I’m still trying.”
For a long time, Shen Fen turned around.
Zhao Xuning took her hand, but only the corner of her clothes.
Shen Hui said, “I’ll do the rest.”
When the voice fell, she bent her knees and knelt on the stone steps.
The cold stone steps sent chills through her knees, Shen Fen’s hands fell on the stone steps, her waist gradually bent, and her forehead fell on the stone steps, making a muffled sound.
“Second sister.” Shen Siyan came over to help her, but she heard Shen Hui say, “Don’t stop me.”
Shen Siyan was speechless for a moment.
Liang Shi originally supported the weak Zhao Xuning by the side.
Although she can exercise on weekdays and her body is good, but all the way from the foot of the mountain, every step and knock, every movement is extremely standard, and now there is a battle between two groups, both legs seem to be Not his own.
How to finish the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps?
But Zhao Xuning shook her head at her, continued to kneel down, kowtowed, and stood up again.
Shen Hui and Zhao Xuning were only a few stone steps apart, and they were all walking up and down reverently.
Every time you pass, you are forgetting.
Atonement.
It’s all rebirth.
Liang Shi and Shen Siyan could only watch from behind.
Until late in the morning, a cold wind blows in the mountains.
Zhao Xuning’s movements are getting slower and slower, it takes a long time to kneel down and then stand up.
Pants are worn.
Liang Shi felt tired all the way and couldn’t imagine how Zhao Xuning did it.
And Shen Hui really knelt down more than nine hundred steps.
When they were about to go up, they saw Shen Fenghe and Gu Yixue standing on the top of the mountain.
Shen Siyan was so distressed, she felt aggrieved, and whispered, “Eldest sister.”
The voice sounded milky, but he tried to control his behavior and voice, so it sounded awkward.
Shen Fenghe looked down at Shen An who was knocking step by step, but didn’t say anything after all.
Shen Hui took the lead to go up, when she really stood up, her legs were weak and she almost fell, but Shen Siyan supported her.
Zhao Xuning was obviously much slower, and the whole person also looked pale and haggard, and seemed to faint at any time.
Liang Shi was standing next to the railing, very close to her, for fear that she could not hold back and fall.
But her willpower is really strong, and she lasted all the way to the end.
The rain at night came unexpectedly, and after a dull thunder, the rain fell dribbling down and wet Zhao Xuning’s whole body.
Also getting everyone standing here wet.
Mother Zhao has already arrived and is waiting here.
The moment she saw Zhao Xuning, she went up to help her, but Zhao Xuning pushed her away, “Leave me alone.”
Mother Zhao was speechless.
At this moment, Zhao Xuning is curled up in the rain, like a homeless stray dog.
Liang Shi was going to help her, but Zhao Xuning’s hand hanging by his side lifted up, his fingers curled up, signaling her not to.
Then she got up slowly in the rain, stood up again, took a step up on her weak legs, and knelt down slowly.
Final tap done.
The rain is getting heavier.
Zhao Xuning was unconscious, even when she finally lost consciousness, she was smiling.
Because she completed the agreement with Shen Wei.
This time, Shen Yan was not disappointed.
There are many people calling her.
But she couldn’t hear.
Zhao Xuning thought that it was right to swear not to reach the 3000th order.
Because after completing the three thousand steps, you are not far from death, and even the soul is floating.
“Zhao Xuning!”
“Ningning!”
“Dr. Zhao!”
“…”
Too many people’s voices were mixed together, but Zhao Xuning could still hear Shen Hui.
She called her name anxiously among the many voices: “Zhao Xuning.”
//
Zhao Xuning is really crazy this time.
Fever and cold, hit three thousand steps one step at a time, and then it rained.
I had a high fever when I went down the mountain and was sent directly to the hospital.
The whole night was so frightening that everyone was terrified, but she had nothing serious, but her legs were severely damaged, and the knees were red, swollen and bruised.
Even Shen Hui was not much better.
When Zhao Xuning was taken to the hospital, she almost fainted in embarrassment.
But Shen Fenghe didn’t stop her this time, and directly let Shen Hui and Zhao Xuning live in the same hospital.
He kept running and busy until more than four o’clock in the morning. When Liang Shi returned, even though there was little movement, he still woke Xu Qingzhu.
Accurately speaking, Xu Qingzhu has been in a half-dream and half-awake state. When she noticed that she came back, she turned over, raised her hand to turn on the light by the bedside, and asked in a soft voice, “How is Dr. Zhao? ?”
“No big deal.” Liang Shi got into the quilt and reached out to hold her hand, still feeling cool.
Xu Qingzhu rolled into her arms, Liang Shi lightly kissed her forehead, patted her back, “Sleep in peace.”
“Hmm.” Xu Qingzhu yawned, feeling more secure in her arms, drowsiness struck, and soon fell asleep.
Liang Shi turned off the bedside lamp, and the bedroom fell into darkness.
She couldn’t sleep.
The appearance of Zhao Xuning hitting the three thousand steps step by step seems to be engraved in her mind.
She used to play similar scenes.
In the drama, she is good enough and empathetic enough.
But not nearly as much as today.
It was a shock.
Staring at Zhao Xuning’s back, she felt that she could not calm down, and the surging enthusiasm finally turned into sigh.
I don’t know how long it took for her to think clearly.
Because Zhao Xuning is too firm.
The firmness that comes from the heart creates empathy.
Liang Shi’s sympathy for Zhao Xuning increased a little more.
Even if she slept late at night, Liang Shi didn’t sleep late, and woke up early naturally.
Xu Qingzhu woke up a long time ago, but did not move in her arms.
As soon as Liang Shi opened her eyes, she saw the expression she was staring at him intently, Liang Shi shook his head, then chuckled and said in a low voice, “Baby, good morning.”
“Morning~” Xu Qingzhu squinted his eyes, and arched into her arms again like a cat.
“Dr. Zhao woke up?” Xu Qingzhu asked, “I’m going to see her today~”
Liang Shi said: “Simmer a soup for a while and send it to her, just wait a little less.”
Xu Qingzhu nodded: “Okay.”
When Liang Shi was making soup, Xu Qingzhu was also helping you in the kitchen, but there was nothing to do, just go around in the kitchen.
Xu Qingzhu asked her if she couldn’t sleep.
Liang Shi nodded.
“The hot search was quickly removed yesterday.” Xu Qingzhu said: “No one discussed this matter since then.”
“The Zhao family withdrew.” Liang Shi said, “Yesterday Zhao Xuning’s mother went, and so did the Shen family. Shen Siyan made me look up.”
“Oh?” Xu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows.
Liang Shi recalled yesterday’s scene and told her concisely.
“In the past, Zhao Ling said that Shen Siyan was a sister-in-law.” Liang Shi chuckled: “Now I can see it.”
“That’s pretty good. I used to feel like the Shen family and the Gu family. It should be a more rigorous family style, just like the Dr. Zhao family.” Xu Qingzhu said: “I didn’t expect it to be good, It looks pretty peaceful.”
Liang Shi nodded: “The two of them shouldn’t have to torture each other anymore.”
“If you torture again, you will have to die directly.” Xu Qingzhu shared with her the comments she saw yesterday: “A netizen said, I just want to fall in love with you, but you want to have **** with you. I’ll go to **** together.”
“Torturing each other until they grow old.” Liang Shi was helpless, “I hope they will succeed.”
“It would be nice if Dr. Zhao wasn’t so bored.” Xu Qingzhu said, “She is very straight, but emotionally she is not that straight.”
Xu Qingzhu thought for a moment before summing up: “She is very straightforward with people she doesn’t like, and she is squeamish about people she likes.”
“Yes.” Liang Shi said: “She can’t speak well. When I lived in her house before. One thing that can clearly be communicated well, she has to go around, In fact, things will be done for you, but they are not forgiving.”
Xu Qingzhu hugged Liang Shi from behind, “So I still like you more.”
Liang Shi held the spoon in his hand, “I’m not that good either.”
“Maybe I’m blind?” Xu Qingzhu raised her tail.
“Not at all.” Liang Shi said, “Yesterday when Zhao Xuning was knocking up three thousand steps one step at a time, I was thinking, if one day we are like this, will I do the same.”
Xu Qingzhu asked, “Have you thought about it?”
Liang Shi shook his head: “No.”
I haven’t been forced into that situation, and it is false to say that I can do it or not.
Liang Shi put the spoon on the cooking table, turned around and hugged Xu Qingzhu: “I decided to love you all the time, no matter how much you chase me away, I won’t leave, what’s the matter with me? Tell you everything, and then I don’t have to knock on the three thousand steps one step at a time.”
Xu Qingzhu: “…”
“You left without telling me.” Xu Qingzhu revealed her shortcomings.
Liang Shi felt an arrow in his heart, and immediately explained: “I was forced to.”
Pressure, all the people who are in love face different compellations every day, but there are still people in love, why?”
Liang Shi: “…”
“I can’t tell you.” Liang Shi was helpless: “I surrendered. It was indeed my fault that I did it, and I admitted the punishment.”
Xu Qingzhu looked up at her, bit her lightly on the neck, “Well, I have to punish you for a long time.”
“But why?” Liang Shi asked again: “So many people are forced to, but they are still in love, why?”
Xu Qingzhu let out a light breath, slipped her fingers down and intertwined with hers, “Why are you with me?”
Liang Shi replied after thinking: “I’m happy, seeing you makes my heart feel full.”
The feeling of contentment is completely different from when you usually go shopping, eat amazing food, or see a pleasant scenery.
A heart numb, hot and swollen.
Twenty-four hours a day, there is always a moment when I can feel my heart beating beautifully and enthusiastically.
That seems to be the meaning of life.
Even if it is very hard and tiring outside, and encounters uncomfortable things.
But as long as you think of such a person, you will feel that nothing is a problem.
Always have the motivation to keep going.
Creating bonds, bonds are pleasing.
Xu Qingzhu nodded: “So, everyone loves each other to fill the heart.”
//
Xu Qingzhu and Liang Shi went to the hospital to deliver soup to Zhao Xuning, and Zhao Xuning fell asleep shortly after waking up.
The Zhao family watched from the outside.
Xu Qingzhu also went to see Shen Hui.
Shen Fenghe went to the company, leaving only Shen Siyan to accompany Shen Hui in the ward.
Xu Qingzhu went to chat with Shen Hui for a while, but Shen Hui looked sad and full of worries.
Afterwards, Shen Siyan came in and handed them fruit, Shen Hui asked him, “Have you found it?”
Shen Siyan was hesitant to say anything, and finally excused: “No.”
Shen Hui frowned slightly, “Where’s eldest sister? Didn’t find anything?”
“No.” Shen Siyan is not good at lying, her eyes roll around when she lies, and her voice seems a little empty: “Anyway, you have decided to get back with Zhao Xuning, so don’t investigate already.”
“It is always necessary to know what happened.” Shen Hui said.
You have to know what made Zhao Xuning come to her side so recklessly and desperately.
“Then wait for her to wake up and tell you in person.” Shen Siyan pinched her ears and hurried away.
Xu Qingzhu sat there and looked at Shen Siyan, and found that he just pinched his ears very similar to Liang Shi.
I like to pinch my ears when I’m nervous.
Two fingers rubbed lightly, then hurriedly withdrawn, a little embarrassed on the face.
Xu Qingzhu stared at Shen Siyan’s back for a while, and then returned to her senses when Shen Hui called her.
Shen Hui asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s fine.” Xu Qingzhu shook his head.
She can always vaguely see Liang Shi’s shadow from Shen Hui and the others.
It’s weird.
But if you add their previous speculation, it’s not surprising at all.
But now Shen Fei is still in the hospital, Shen Fenghe is very busy at the company, and the Shen family’s parents probably don’t know about these things, Xu Qingzhu still plans to wait and discuss with Liang Shi before making a decision.
Soon, she said goodbye to the company.
Liang Shi received a call from Chen Mian in the evening.
Liang Shi had just finished filming at that time. After a big emotional scene, her whole person’s thoughts were a little loose, and she could not fully play.
When she received the call from Chen Mian, she was still crying, Chen Mian paused, “What’s the matter?”
“Ah…it’s fine.” Liang Shi’s tone was a little slow, “What are you looking for from me?”
Chen Mian heard the sound of paper turning over, and then became quiet: “Do you know Qiu Zimin?”
Liang Shi: “…”
“I know.” Liang Shi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Mian said: “She paid 50 million to buy a pair of collections in my hand.”
“Uh.” Liang Shi was slow and didn’t know what it had to do with her.
Chen Mian continued: “This painting was painted by a woman named Shen Chi. The painting shows three women boating on the lake, Shen Chi, Zhu Mingqi, and Qiu Zimin. The small characters in this picture are has a name.”
Liang Shi’s brows wrinkled slightly, and he finally got out of his previous mood, and his mind moved: “Then what? Zhu Mingqi and Qiu Zimin know each other?”
“Should.” Chen Mian said, “If I remember correctly, Zhu Mingqi also wanted to buy my paintings, saying that my paintings were five-point similar to the works of an old friend.”
Liang Shi: “…”
“That should be the Shenchi?” Liang Shi asked.
Chen Mian replied, “I am a student of Shenchi.”
“What does this have to do with me?” Liang Shi asked again.
She still couldn’t figure it out.
“Or do you want to see this painting?” Chen Mian didn’t say it directly, but went around in a circle.
Liang Shi didn’t understand her intention, but he responded, “Then you send it.”
Soon, Chen Mian hung up the phone and sent her a photo.
Liang Shi thinks that the painting is good, and Qiu Zimin above is much prettier than now, Zhu Mingqi always feels familiar, probably because he has seen it in the art museum before.
She made a special trip to zoom in, and then repeated the original words to Chen Mian.
Chen Mian was silent for a while after listening.
Liang Shi: [What’s wrong? right? 】
Chen Mian: [Forget it, I will not embarrass you. 】
Liang Shi: […]
After a while, Chen Mian sent her a voice: “Because you may look at the surface, but when we paint, we will look at the bones. You didn’t find that Zhu Mingqi’s bones were similar to you. Is it a seven-point resemblance? I thought it was you when I first saw it.”
Liang Shi: “?”
10 million, Qiu Zimin gave 50 million.”
Liang Shi: “…you are rich.”
Chen Mian: “?”
Liang Shi stared at the painting and looked at it again and again, but still didn’t feel much resemblance.
Maybe it’s because I’m used to seeing myself.
But…
Liang Shi asked Chen Mian, “What is the relationship between Zhu Mingqi and Qiu Zimin?”
Chen Mian answered simply, “Rival in love.”
“Shen Chi had a lot of stories when she was young.” Chen Mian said, “But she has two green plums, one is Bai Yueguang and the other is cinnabar mole.”
Liang Shi: “?”
You artists have something in their emotional history.
