Chapter 17(2/4)
... She said she would stay here forever, but in fact she knew better than anyone else that now she was only her spiritual body, and her real body was still in the real world. If she really stayed, she would only die soon, and her family and friends would also suffer the pain of losing her.
When Shi Li really couldn't take any steps when she thought of her parents who usually felt like she was as painful as her life.
She waited for a few hours at the time travel point. These hours were almost the longest time in her life. Seeing that the battery of her mobile phone was only 2%, she finally made up her mind and bought a plane ticket to go back.
When Shi Li arrived at the airport, the last little power was gone, and the phone was completely useless. However, because she had already bought a plane ticket, she was not in a hurry and took a few boxes of special snacks here and got on the plane.
By the time she landed, it was completely dark. If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Jingyan should have gone home and found out that she was not there. After a day of hard work today, not only did he not be able to leave, but he also had to go back to explain what had happened. Shi Li sighed and got into the car home.
...
The Shen family manor was brightly lit, and the butler finally could take a breath after seeing the last wave of doctors. He still couldn't figure out why the morning was fine, and things had developed like this after only ten hours.
Miss Shi suddenly left, Mr. Chen suddenly fell ill, and everything came unexpectedly. Because Mr. Chen locked himself in the room since he woke up, and he did not dare to investigate Miss Shi's whereabouts without authorization, so he could only wait quietly.
...I hope Miss Shi doesn't care why she left, come back quickly, otherwise with Mr. Chen's current state, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for long.
I don’t know if his thoughts were heard, but as soon as the butler came up with this idea, someone hurried in: “Ms. Shi is back!”
"Really?!" The butler suddenly stood up and ran out without thinking.
Shi Li had just borrowed money from someone to pay the fare. When he saw the butler running over, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Sorry, I shouldn't have gone out without saying a word. Are you very worried..."
"Miss Shi, come in quickly. Mr. Chen locked himself in the room since he woke up. He has not eaten yet, let alone the medicine, and he has not touched it at all." The butler said anxiously.
Shi Li was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard. She ran to the door of Chen Jingyan's bedroom in one breath, pushed open the door and went in directly.
The room was dark, and she raised her hand and wanted to turn on the light, but after thinking about it, she didn't do it in the end, but walked towards the bed step by step: "Jingyan?"
The person on the bed did not move. Shi Li took a deep breath, sat down beside the bed, groped and grabbed his hand, and said carefully for a while: "I'm sorry, I should have told you when I went out. Are you angry?"
Chen Jingyan's hands were very cold, as if they were no longer popular. Shi Li tightened his heart, leaned over to his lips, felt his breathing before he breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to hug the person: "I originally wanted to come back before you get off work and secretly prepare surprises for you, but I delayed it there and didn't finish anything. I only bought you some local specialties. Sorry, Jingyan, was he scared?"
Chen Jingyan was silent for a long time, his voice was cold and hoarse: "You are still lying."
Shi Li's heart tightened and his face remained silent: "I didn't lie. The security guard at the door knew. I told him when I left and told him not to tell you about my going out."
Chen Jingyan's breathing was a little uneven, and his hands were tightly clamped. Shi Li could see the blue veins on his forehead, as well as the suppressed anger and pain on his face when he was in the dark. A hoarse voice sounded again in the room, and every word seemed to have a bloody smell: "Shi Li, you have been treating me as a fool, is it interesting?"
As he spoke, his body seemed to hurt again. In order not to show his fragile side in front of Shi Li, he bit his lips and swallowed all the painful sobs.
Shi Li's heart was twitching, and he hurriedly reached out to pinch his mouth: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, take a deep breath first and relax. I heard from the butler that you are sick, it's all my fault. I shouldn't think of those messy surprises, and I will never leave again..."
"Let me go," Chen Jingyan used all his strength to push her away, panting and staring at her, "If it weren't for leaving, why did you suddenly ask me for money? Why should you avoid everyone? Why do you cheat the security guard? Shili, how many times did you have to hurt me before you can let me go?!"
"...I really didn't want to leave, otherwise why would I come back?" Shi Li felt inexplicably uncomfortable and wanted to admit his mistake directly to him, but once he admitted it, he would not succeed in the mission.
Although she still lied, she had completely forgotten the hatred value. She forgot that if she coaxed people too well, the hatred value would be very likely to be zero in an instant, and she would completely die in the real world. She should remember, but when she saw his stubborn and fragile appearance, she couldn't care about anything.
Chen Jingyan didn't know if he believed it. After holding her body and confronting her for a while, he finally fell down with strength. Shi Li hurriedly rushed over to see his situation, and after confirming that he just didn't have the strength, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to continue coaxing him, but he was interrupted by him.
"No need to say anything, I know why you want to leave," Chen Jingyan spoke again, a sense of vicissitudes in his voice, like despair, or powerlessness. "I believe you thought about staying before, but after doing it with me, I still hate my sick body and can't stand it. I will sleep in the same bed as me in the future, so I want to escape."
Shi Li was silent for a moment, and reached out to hug him like before: "If I really want to leave, why don't I even bring my luggage? How could I come back on my own initiative before you go to find me?"
Chen Jingyan did not answer her question, and his eyes seemed to be out of life.
Shi Li calmed down for a long time, and put his neck on him and kissed him. Chen Jingyan did not move, allowing her to grind her lips, without any intention of responding.
Shi Li felt sour in his heart. He just hugged him and kissed him tightly, from the corner of his lips to the Adam's apple. Until he groaned uncontrollably, she let him go: "You have to rest today, don't wait for it. I'll pester you every day to let you know how much I like your body."
Chen Jingyan turned his face away and refused to look at her. After a long time, Yan Jing finally spoke: "If you want money, I can give you money. If you want a house, I can give it too, don't force yourself so much."
"Not at all," Shi Li pinched his jaw, forcing him to look at him. As before, even if the lights were turned on in the dark night, even if he could see his eyes clearly, he could not see the hatred value. However, Shi Li no longer cared about the hatred value. She just wanted to coax this little arrogant, "I love you so much, I like everything about you."
Chen Jingyan's Adam's apple moved, and there was finally a little more vitality on his face.
He and Shi Li looked at each other for a long time and said lightly: "No matter whether what you said is true or false, I don't want to believe you anymore."
Shi Li pursed her lips, lay down beside him, holding his shoulders, letting him pillow in his arms, and hugging his head tightly: "I won't leave you even if you don't use any method."
Chen Jingyan remained silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere had improved slightly, Shili continued to talk to him: "I called you, but you didn't answer. Is it because you were sick?"
Chen Jingyan was quiet for a long time and said softly.
Shi Li kissed his face and asked in a low voice: "Is it because of me?"
Chen Jingyan said nothing again.
Shi Li already knew the answer and sighed and hugged the person tighter: "I'm sorry."
She hugged him quietly, forgot the value of hatred and how dangerous her situation was at this moment, and just wanted to do her best to heal this fragile man.
Darkness left time without any idea, and no one knew how long it had passed. Shi Li asked softly: "Now, is it okay to take medicine?"
Chen Jingyan didn't speak.
Shi Li knew that he had agreed, so he let go of him to get the medicine. As soon as he got out of bed and was about to leave, he felt the person behind him move. She was stunned for a moment, looked back at the man who was following him, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing when you get up?"
Chen Jingyan still didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a stern face. Shi Li understood and took his hand to the coffee table. When he arrived at the place, he personally took the medicine and water and handed it to him, watching him take all the medicine.
"Sit down and have some food." Shi Li was not discussing with him. After saying that, he stretched out his hands and pressed him on the sofa. He brought the rice himself, handed it to his lips with chopsticks.
Chen Jingyan was quiet for a long time before he could barely take a bite. Shi Li's lips curled up and he made something else for him to eat. It took the two of them a long time to eat. When the meal was over, Chen Jingyan's face showed obvious fatigue.
Shi Li brought the person to the bed, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
It was almost early morning, Shili woke up uncomfortable. After feeling her physical condition, she walked to the bathroom with her eyes half open, and then closed the door after entering.
After solving the physiological problems, she yawned out again. When she opened the door, she saw a shadow standing at the door in the darkness. She was shocked.
"It's me." Chen Jingyan said lightly.
Shi Li blinked in confusion: "You are here to go to the bathroom too?"
Chen Jingyan stopped talking.
Shi Li frowned and made way for him: "Go in, I'll go to bed first."
She was so sleepy that she went straight to the bed after she said that. After lying down, she realized that Chen Jingyan had come back with her. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood: "Didn't you want to go to the bathroom?"
Chen Jingyan lay down next to her in silence.
"...You honestly answered me, did you go to bed just now?" This person didn't sleep just to stare at him, right?
As soon as Shi Li asked this question, he saw his expression and was speechless: "You, you really... are you planning to stare at me without sleeping for the rest of your life?"
"No." Chen Jingyan finally spoke this time.
Although he spoke, he did not worry Shi Li Shao any longer. Looking at his tired eyes, Shi Li was silent for a long time and ran to the cloakroom to get a pair of sneakers, sat on the ground and began to remove the shoelaces on it. This time she didn't look up, and she knew that Chen Jingyan was guarding the door.
After removing a shoelace, Shi Li gestured for a while and took it out. As soon as he arrived at the door, he found Chen Jingyan's wrist, tied the wrists of the two people with ropes, and specially tied a knot: "It's OK now. If I want to leave, I have to untie the knot, but I can't do it without turning on the lights. Moreover, you have a light sleep. If I turn on the lights secretly, you will definitely wake up. Don't worry about me running away now, right?"
Chen Jingyan glanced at the rope on the hands of the two people, and seemed to be quite satisfied. Shi Li looked at him with a funny look and pushed him to the bed: "Hurry up, I'll sleep again this time when you fall asleep."
Chen Jingyan was still feeling uncomfortable and could barely walk. He didn't have the strength to push her away, so he was pushed back to the bed obediently.
When the two of them hugged each other again, they had an unsightly shoelace on their hands, but just such a shoelace finally made Chen Jingyan, who was tortured to the extreme, fall asleep peacefully.
Shi Li did what he said, and he went to bed until he fell asleep completely.
In the next few days, the two of them stayed in the dark for five days like last time, and Chen Jingyan's body gradually became normal.
Shi Li's life these days can be said to be extremely embarrassed. The two of them tied their shoelaces on their hands, and they didn't have much long shoelaces. They were destined to go together wherever they went. They were usually fine, but when they took a shower, washed their hair and went to the toilet, they were very embarrassed.
Fortunately, they all survived. When the five days ended, Shi Li felt like she was reborn and felt that there was nothing she could not do in front of Shen Jingyan. But Chen Jingyan seemed to have something to hide from her. She didn't know who she was to these days. She kept sending text messages frequently. Every time she came over to see, he would put away his phone.
She peeped several times and only saw the saying "Glass should be the most soundproof".
Shi Li was so curious that he couldn't help asking: "What do you want soundproof glass for?"
"It's useful." Chen Jingyan, who knew what she saw, held his phone down on the bed sheet.
Shi Li looked at him as he looked cautious and twitched: "Are you busy with any confidential work?"
Chen Jingyan said nothing. Shi Li asked a few more questions, but when he saw that he refused to say anything, he had to give up. Then when he sent a text message, he would deliberately sit face to face with him so that she would not see any message.
Shili: "..." Who cares about it?
Another night, Shi Li checked Chen Jingyan's health according to the doctor's instructions, and confirmed that he had recovered completely this time. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, let's go out for a walk tomorrow. We have been in the house for a few days."
Chen Jingyan didn't speak, but he didn't seem to be in a very high mood.
Shi Li coaxed him: "If you like this environment, we can live like this a few days later, but people always have to see the sun, otherwise their bodies will be affected over time."
Chen Jingyan said "hmm" perfunctorily, and then lay on the bed.
Shili was forced to lie down with him, hugged his arm and asked, "What does it mean? Can you go out tomorrow?"
"Do you want to go out?" Chen Jingyan asked back.
Shi Li Jing Jing, but still honestly admitted: "Yes, I really want to go out." She is a normal person, likes to bask in the sun and enjoys open environments. She will really get sick if she stays in the dark for a long time.
A trace of indifference flashed in Chen Jingyan's eyes, and after a long silence, "Go out tomorrow."
"Really?" Shi Li's eyes lit up.
Chen Jingyan said "yes" again, and he didn't want to speak anymore. Shi Li was in a good mood and kept thinking about where to take him to a place after going out. Her original intention was to let Chen Jingyan relax, but when Chen Jingyan heard this, the indifference in his eyes became more and more intense.
Shi Li was sleepy as he spoke. He quickly fell asleep in Shen Jingyan's arms. Chen Jingyan had no sleep at all, and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Shi Li felt that she was asleep not long after she was awakened by Chen Jingyan. She asked sleepily: "What's wrong..."
