Chapter 5: The Remnants of Dreams
The Dong and Liu families were disturbed, and both Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoliang had no intention of scrupling.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at the picture in front of him with wide eyes in a daze, this is ...... Old?
She understood that she was dreaming, because she knew very well that she had just fallen asleep in Shen Chi's arms under Shen Chi's patting.
It should be night, she looked down at the ground, it should have just rained.
She couldn't help but think of the last moment in her last life when she saw the weather in light rain.
Just thinking like this, Lin Xiaoliang noticed that someone was walking this way in front of her, she looked up and looked at it, and suddenly her face was shocked-
Shen Chi!?
She couldn't help but call out the name that was all too familiar, only to find that she didn't make any sound.
She looked at the old man with a ravine-faced face in disbelief, how could Shen Chi be like this!?
Suddenly, she noticed that she seemed to be holding someone, and her gaze looked down, and this time, she was more than shocked.
She took several steps back in horror - how could it be......
The one who was held in Shen Chi's hand was actually himself!?
No, it may be a bit wrong to say that, it should be said that it is his own corpse.
Because she could clearly see that the chest of that "self" was calm, without any ups and downs.
She looked at the "self" carefully, a white blue and white porcelain cheongsam, a classical Jing transparent hairpin, white wedge sandals of calfskin, a jade bracelet of glass species, and a silver clutch......
Lin Xiaoliang's eyes widened more and more, these are all the clothes he wore when he died in his previous life!
That......
She turned her head to look at the old Shen Chi - could this be something that happened after her death in her previous life?!
No matter how the emotions in her heart rolled, she still followed closely behind Shen Chi, watching him come to her residence in the old city without hesitation, and took the key from "herself" handbag to open the courtyard door. Then he walked slowly into the house, step by step.
How could Shen Chi be so old?
Lin Xiaocheng recalled the events of his previous life sadly, but found that in the following years, he really never saw Shen Chi again, and only occasionally heard his news on TV, but he always couldn't see his figure.
She watched as he struggled to lay his body on the bed in the bedroom, and with a shudder she took a handkerchief from her pocket and carefully wiped the rain from her face and hands.
Wait until you're done wiping. He didn't move either. Just looked at the person on the bed for a moment, and gradually reddened his eyes.
"Chen Han, you go out. Close the door. It wasn't until he spoke up that Lin Xiaoliang found Chen Han, who had been standing at the door, much older than he remembered.
The bedroom door was closed, and Shen Chi untied "her" bun. took out a comb and carefully combed her hair, and whispered carefully, "I won't pull my hair in a bun." Don't be upset. ”
Lin Xiao's nose was sour, and she almost cried, but Shen Chi seemed to be stupid at "her", and muttered, "You haven't changed at all." It's just that I'm old and ugly. ”
She had never stopped his unconfident tone, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.
After some time, he stood up on the edge of the bed. I opened the wardrobe, thought about it for a long time, and took out one that I don't often wear. The almost brand new aqua-red cheongsam pursed his lips again, opened the drawer under the cabinet, and took out a brand new set of underwear and underwear.
Realizing what he wanted to do, Lin Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed.
But when Shen Chi really started to help her corpse change clothes, this mood disappeared for some reason.
His movements were so slow and uncontrollable, but his expression was reverent and earnest, as if he were doing the most sacred thing in his life.
By the time it was done, it was already half an hour later. Shen Chi was panting heavily, and he rested on the head of the bed for more than ten minutes before he recovered.
He reached out and touched the hair of "Lin Xiaoliang", and said softly: "Wanwan, I may have to do something that you hate again, you can be angry with me and beat me, but you can't drive me away." ”
Lin Xiaoliang, who was listening, was inexplicable, and it wasn't until she followed him to a tomb and looked at the inscription on the tombstone - Shen Chili, the tomb of his deceased wife Lin Xiaoliang, that she understood what was going on.
Especially this is a double tomb, and the vacant seat next to it is obviously reserved for Shen Chi himself.
For a while, Lin Xiaoliang didn't know what it was like, if it was her in her previous life, she would definitely grit her teeth and be angry for Shen Chi's behavior, but now......
Even if she knew that this Shen Chi was different from the one she fell in love with, maybe it was the idea of loving the house and Wu, she still relented in the end.
Next, she followed Shen Chi all the way, knowing that he had just taken revenge, that he had suffered from a malignant brain tumor for eight years, that Xu Meimei had been sent to a mental hospital, and that he was calm and looking forward to death......
When he opened his eyes, Lin Xiaoliang didn't know what it was for a moment, until he met Shen Chi's gaze.
At that moment, she almost felt that the Shen Chi in front of her coincided with the Shen Chi in her dream.
But soon, she realized that it seemed to be her delusion, and that the eyes were obviously familiar with tenderness and affection, where did she come from the pain and despair in her dreams.
"Why did you wake up?" Shen Chi took her into his arms, patted her on the back and said, "Go to sleep, didn't you promise to take Sisi and them to the amusement park tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Lin Xiaoyan was relieved all of a sudden, rubbed his chest and closed his eyes.
Listening to the gradually long breathing of the person in his arms, Shen Chi couldn't fall asleep.
The dream just now......
Shen Chi subconsciously hugged the person in his arms, and it was not until he received the uncomfortable twisting of the other party that he reacted and relaxed the force in his hand.
He closed his eyes, but his mind was full of eyes that were gentle or desperate, painful or calm, and deeply melancholy, and that "self......
He felt a little out of breath, and tried to comfort himself that it was a dream, which was not real, but it had no effect at all, and the panic in his heart did not diminish at all.
That dream was so real, so real that he seemed to feel the pain and torment of losing Wanwan to his other self, and finally the despair of being told that he had a malignant brain tumor when he was about to see the moon was about to open, and finally step by step his psychology was distorted and he stepped into pathological madness.
If you think about it carefully, the only difference between reality and dreams is that Wanwan kept the child in reality. In the dream, Wanwan had a miscarriage and lost the ability to be a mother.
He tried his best not to think about it, but he couldn't help but think of Wanwan's strange attitude towards herself after she almost had a miscarriage, Wanwan's special love for children, her preference for small rice cakes, and her unusual indifference to her father......
There were so many unusuals that he wanted to convince himself that he couldn't do it if he thought too much.
Perhaps, what I encountered at the beginning was to experience those graces? No, how can a person experience two lives?
- The rebirth crossing class has not yet prevailed, otherwise Shen Chi would definitely not be so puzzling.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Chi could only blame Wanwan for having the same dream as herself many years ago.
He deliberately ignored how Lin Xiaoliang avoided miscarriage in the first place. And how can a dream make people empathize.
- As you can imagine. More than a decade later, the rebirth of the crossing and various golden finger texts will allow him to solve today's doubts.
For Lin Xiaoliang, that dream could make her sigh and feel relieved. But it doesn't stop there, yesterday is gone, and she has already finished struggling with it.
But it's different for Shen Chi, although he was originally very sticky to Lin Xiaoyi. But this time has become more and more intense, and it seems that she feels uneasy when she can't see her.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Lin Xiaoliang said helplessly: "I said that I drove by myself." Did you come here just to drive back with me? ”
She is a little embarrassed, she has seen people crossing the road hand in hand, she has also seen little girls who go to the toilet together, and she has seen those middle school students riding bicycles on the road in parallel.
But what's the deal with driving together? Can the road still allow you to parallel? Or take a walkie-talkie to chat? Just happen to bump into it, forget it. What did you want to do here?
Especially this is not the first time, the same embarrassing thing happened for three days in a row, and she really has a headache.
"Your car should be parked in the Garden of the Heart. I'll take you out to dinner. Shen Chi touched his nose.
He also realized a little that he was overreacting.
"Let's go out to eat, what about Sisi and them?" Lin Xiaoliang didn't have a good airway.
"Daddy made a donkey meat hot pot today. Call them all. Shen Chi said.
According to his idea, it is nothing to let the quadruplets eat by themselves at home, anyway, there is Zhang's mother to cook, and when they eat, they are accompanied by Zhang's mother and Jian'an. Of course, he thought about it in his heart, he didn't dare to say it directly to Wanwan.
However, to say that he used to pay so much attention to children in Wanwan, but now he can be relieved.
"Okay. But how am I going to get over tomorrow? Lin Xiaoliang hesitated and asked.
"It's okay, I'll send you here tomorrow." After a pause, Shen Chi said: "Speaking of which, when I have time to vacate in the future, you don't want to drive by yourself, tell me where you want to go, and I'll send you." ”
He felt that his proposal was really good, anyway, he was almost fifty now, he would be able to retire at the age of 65, and he would be able to work for another ten years. When the time comes, Wanwan can accompany her wherever she goes, and her car can naturally be idle.
Even before the age of 65, he can delegate more of the work in his hands to his subordinates, and secretly idle himself.
"It's so convenient for me to drive by myself, why should I look for you?" Lin Xiaoliang said dissatisfied.
No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, they have their own free time. Even if both are free, the schedule will diverge. She likes to travel on vacation, likes to go out to sketch, likes to visit gift shops and charitable foundations, and Shen Chi ...... He likes to go to shooting clubs, other sports clubs, and every once in a while he visits his property. And she likes to go to the tea room, like to play with flowers and plants at home, and like to ponder in the studio, these are relatively quiet hobbies, but Shen Chi prefers some lively things, from time to time she has to play with the recruits below, and they will also go to play ball and learn judo or something when they are taken by small rice cakes.
They occasionally accommodate each other, and if they stay together all day, no one will be comfortable.
Lin Xiaoliang said the reason, Shen Chi was suddenly shocked, thought about it and retorted: "That's now, maybe in the future, our hobbies and lifestyles will slowly get closer?" ”
"Then we'll talk about it later." Lin Xiaoliang said mercilessly. (To be continued)
