Chapter 44: Regret

According to Senior Zhao Zheng, the exquisite jade belt hook is a treasure handed down from his ancestors.

It is said that-

It was Qin Shi's thing, which fell into the hands of his great-grandfather by mistake.

It's not big, it's clear and flawless. On a piece of extremely rare high-quality jade. In the ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Senior Zhao Zheng's great-grandfather swallowed that thing raw in his stomach and kept it.

Nearly lost his life.

Not long ago, Senior Zhao Zheng's grandfather was seriously ill and his time was running out.

Senior Zhao Zheng specially asked for leave, went home to visit, and stayed by his grandfather's bedside to fulfill his filial piety.

Before his grandfather died, he asked him to bring a ladder and climb to the beams of the old house—

Retrieved.

Say yes, wait, leave it to him.

As soon as he got the thing, he felt that something was wrong. After dealing with the aftermath for Grandpa, he took the exquisite jade belt hook and returned to school-

Let his mentor, Professor Lu, take a look to see if it is something from the Qin Dynasty.

It was also because of this that Professor Lu came into contact with this thing. After I went back, I fell ill, had a high fever for several days, and had a particularly strange dream.

Senior Zhao Zheng said that when he got the jade belt hook, he also saw a lot of it inexplicably-

An eerie sight.

Thinking that since he met Zhu Xiaozhou, who runs a pawnshop at home, it just so happened that Zhu Xiaozhou was also helping to investigate Professor Lu's matter, so it was better to make an appointment and hook that exquisite jade-

Show it to her.

They made an appointment to meet in Qiyundang, and Zhu Xiaozhou also wanted to know if he could find here.

But when he arrived at the appointed time, he didn't see the shadow of Senior Zhao Zheng for a long time.

“...... Did he remember the wrong place? Ding Manman looked at the time many times, waiting a little impatiently.

It's been more than two hours late, could it be that he really can't find Qi Yundang?

Zhu Xiaozhou hung a heart, up and down, and he didn't know what the situation was. I only felt a pang of unease......

Why did he fail to make an appointment?

"It's better to-" Ding Manman looked at the two great gods behind him, and leaned over to Zhu Xiaozhou's side to encourage him, "While you're waiting, do you want to tell us about you and Senior Zhao Zheng...... Have you ever been in a relationship? ”

Just this sentence instantly made the originally stalemate atmosphere of the entire pawnshop a little colder.

“......”

Zhu Xiaozhou thought she was talking a lot of nonsense, so she changed her position and avoided Ding Manman.

"I heard Ding Manman say that you and Senior Zhao Zheng are very ambiguous together, and you can often be seen running board newspapers together, talking and laughing. He knows that you are excluded by others, but he is still willing to get so close to you, which shows ......"

If you want to say it's okay, who would believe it.

"Nope."

Zhu Xiaozhou denied that the relationship between her and Senior Zhao Zheng had not reached at all-

The step of the relationship.

And when I was young, I didn't understand the meaning of dating, and I also felt that I was ......

It's still a long time, and it's all in time. "But he was the first person who made me feel that he wanted to get married."

Want, get married - people?!

Ding Manman noticed that the gaze behind her was like a knife, about to cut her with a thousand knives.

I hurriedly wanted to make up for some," ...... At that time, how old were you, how could you have thought of it...... Married. Just kidding—"

Fun, play, laugh!

"Knowers. After I met Senior Zhao Zheng, when I thought of him, I would think of this description. ”

Zhu Xiaozhou said, the person who knows the word, that is, no matter what he says, even if it is a strange and absurd thing, the other party can immediately understand it, and is willing to accept what you say-

Even if his point of view is not the same, he is willing to admit that your point of view can exist.

It was a soul-to-soul collision......

However, this explanation did not make Ding Manman understand.

Confidant –

Bai Yuan suddenly understood the meaning of Zhu Xiaozhou's words, she regarded Zhao Zheng as a confidant, in such an environment where everyone alienated her and hurt her, only Zhao Zheng treated her differently.

He embraced what Zhu Xiaozhou saw-

The existence of that absurd world.

This is what she wants to understand.

However, Senior Zhao Zheng really delayed for too long, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and there was a heavy dampness in the air.

It was like a heavy rain.

Ding Manman was delayed for a day and didn't dare to stay overnight, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Ding Manman's family, so he went back before the heavy rain fell.

Zhu Xiaozhou brought a chair and sat in front of the door, looking at the sky outside the glass door.

With the last shred of anticipation -

If he comes, doesn't it mean......

Xiao Wenxuan turned his head and whispered to Bai Yuan's movements, "Zhou Zhou seems to be very disappointed, it seems that she really likes that person." ”

"So what."

"yes, how did I forget - you never cared what she liked and didn't like. Because she is only a valuable existence to you, and she is never a woman who should be loved. ”

Bai Yuan glared at him coldly, as if he had an excuse, and opened his mouth.

But in front of Xiao Wenxuan, he couldn't explain a word.

Is it?

He looked at Zhu Xiaozhou's gradually lost back.

In the eyes of others, is Zhu Xiaozhou just like this for him?

Did he really never care about Zhu Xiaozhou's feelings?

It's getting late.

Zhu Xiaozhou waited in the store for a whole day, until it was nearly midnight, and she could no longer hide the disappointment in her eyes.

He still hasn't been able to find it, has he?

Sure enough, just like his grandmother told him, the marriage between them can probably only go here......

"Zhu Xiaozhou, what are you disappointed about. This is your life—"

She smiled and encouraged herself, trying to cheer up.

The words were listened to by the two people behind him. I don't know what kind of mood it is.

Zhu Xiaozhou patted his face, let himself quickly return to his state, picked up a chair and returned to the store, and began to sort out the others and re-inventory......

"Ding-bell-"

This voice is......

Zhu Xiaozhou raised his head, and really saw Senior Zhao Zheng, who was covered in water, standing in front of her.

He was drenched in the rain, a little embarrassed, and wet all over.

The moment he saw Zhu Xiaozhou, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and looked around - "Zhu Xiaozhou, I'm here." ”

But, but—

But why......

Zhu Xiaozhou's tears couldn't be held back all of a sudden.

Why?

He, he's coming.

But—

He's not, he's not alive anymore......

"It turns out that there really is such a place. I've been here many times before, but I haven't found it, and I thought I was in the wrong place. Senior Zhao Zheng said.

Zhu Xiaozhou's phone rang.

In order to hide her tears, she turned around and answered the phone.

Ding Manman called-

“...... Zhu, Zhu Xiaozhou! Something went wrong...... I just arrived at the intersection, and then, and then I saw, car accident - I heard them say, Senior Zhao Zheng was supposed to meet you at the same time, a little girl suddenly rushed out of the road and was rescued by a passing college student, but the college student ......"

"Zhu Xiaozhou, are you listening? The college student who saved people was Senior Zhao Zheng, he- he had ...... He's dead. ”

Zhu Xiaozhou covered his mouth and stood inside the counter, crying with his back to Senior Zhao Zheng.

My heart has never hurt so much.
