Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 6
Although Lu Jingce said to see his mood, he still drove Shen Yansheng down the mountain after lunch.
Shen Yansheng fell asleep on the co-pilot on the way down the mountain because of a cold.
It wasn’t until about 1 o’clock in the afternoon, when the car drove back to the city, that she slowly woke up. Looking at the atmosphere of the Spring Festival decorated with lanterns outside the window, she suddenly couldn’t help thinking of last year’s Spring Festival.
What was she doing this time last year? Are you making dumplings at home with your mother? Or help Dad hang lanterns in the yard? Or go shopping with Fu Shiyu in the supermarket to buy New Year’s goods?
It was obviously from last year, so why didn’t she remember it clearly?
She was lying on the edge of the car window, trying to let the cold wind blow her head sober, but her head was so heavy, and the memory in her mind became more and more blurred.
Seeing her lying at the window blowing the wind, Lu Jingce couldn’t help frowning. He stretched out his hand to pull the person back and said, “You still think your cold isn’t serious enough, right?”
He reached out and closed the window.
Shen Yansheng turned her head back, her face was so pale that there was no blood at all. She looked at Lu Jingce and said, “Lu Jingce, my head is so heavy, I think I’m about to lose my memory.”
Lu Jingce raised his hand and touched Shen Yansheng’s forehead, it was hot like a fireball. He frowned unconsciously, turned around in front of him, and drove towards the central hospital.
On New Year’s Eve in 2016, Shen Yansheng originally thought she could spend the Spring Festival with her parents, but who knew that she had a bad cold and slept all day in the hospital, and woke up in the second half of the night.
The ward was quiet, only Lu Jingce sat on the chair beside the bed to accompany her. He also looked tired, eyes closed as if asleep.
But when she moved a little, he opened his eyes and his voice was a little dry, “Wake up? What do you want?”
Shen Yansheng struggled to get up, but Lu Jingce had a severe headache, so he got up to help her, “What do you want to tell me, what are you messing with?”
Shen Yansheng was a little embarrassed and whispered, “I want to go to the toilet.”
Lu Jingce didn’t feel anything, he lifted the quilt and directly hugged her.
Shen Yansheng was startled, and subconsciously hugged Lu Jingce’s neck. She blushed inexplicably and whispered, “I can go by myself.”
Lu Jingce ignored her, took her to the bathroom, turned around and went out, and helped her to the door.
He must also be very sleepy, and tiredness can be heard in his voice, saying, “Okay, call me.”
Knowing that Lu Jingce was outside, Shen Yansheng was embarrassed to go to the toilet. She blushed for a long time, but she couldn’t help but say, “You are outside, I can’t come out.”
Lu Jingce was really tired, but when he heard Shen Yansheng’s words, he was sobered up and laughed, “I don’t dislike you, what are you afraid of?”
Even though he said that, he walked back to the chair beside the bed and sat down, resting his elbows on the armrest of the chair, raised his hand to press between his eyebrows, and said, “Okay, hurry up and get out.”
Shen Yansheng heard Lu Jingce’s voice a little further away, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, took off his pants and sat on the toilet.
After going to the toilet, Shen Yansheng took off her shoes, went back to bed obediently, and got into the bed.
Lu Jingce was awake now, picked up the infrared thermometer on the bedside table and took Shen Yansheng’s temperature.
Seeing that the temperature on the thermometer was normal, he dropped the thermometer and asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Shen Yansheng shook her head. She looked at Lu Jingce and asked, “Is it still New Year’s Eve?”
Lu Jingce said, “It’s three in the morning, what do you think?”
Shen Yansheng didn’t see her cell phone and asked worriedly, “Did my parents call me?”
Lu Jingce said “um”.
Shen Yansheng suddenly became nervous when she heard the words, “Did you take it? What did you say?”
Looking at Shen Yansheng’s nervous and scared look, Lu Jingce couldn’t help teasing her for a while, and said, “How can I not answer the phone call from my future mother-in-law?”
Shen Yansheng couldn’t help frowning when she heard the words. She sat up from the bed and looked at Lu Jingce, “Don’t joke, okay? I’m really worried.”
Seeing Shen Yansheng’s appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Lu Jingce suddenly lost the fun of teasing her, and said, “The nurse picked it up and said that it is snowing on the mountain, and you can only go down the mountain when the snow stops.”
Shen Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. She lay back on the bed and curled up in the duvet, her whole body seemed to have an indescribable feeling of brokenness.
Lu Jingce looked at her quietly for a long time, until the indescribable distress appeared in his heart again.
He reached out and touched Shen Yansheng’s cheek with the back of his fingers, his voice low, “Move to me after the year, eh?”
Shen Yansheng closed his eyes, nodded meekly and lightly, and replied, “Okay.”
Shen Yansheng didn’t want to stay in the hospital for too long. The next morning, after hanging up two bottles of water, she wanted to go home.
Lu Jingce had already left by then.
In fact, he should have left last night, because Shen Yansheng suddenly had a fever, so he temporarily asked his secretary to change his ticket for him.
Seeing that Shen Yansheng’s condition was almost stable in the morning, he was relieved to leave her to Aunt Ping to take care of her.
Before leaving, she explained to Aunt Ping that if Shen Yansheng woke up and was going to be discharged, she would find a doctor to check again, and if there was no problem, she would be sent back by Uncle Chen.
Aunt Ping kept Lu Jingce’s words in mind, and when she heard Shen Yansheng said she wanted to go home, she did not persuade her. She asked a doctor to help her with a checkup, and she helped Shen Yansheng to pack up if there was no problem.
During the Spring Festival of 2016, except for New Year’s Eve, which was spent in the hospital, Shen Yansheng spent the rest of the time with his parents.
In addition, she took the time to re-submit a few resumes. Before, because of family affairs, she was completely incapable of working. Now that things at home are finally resolved, she has to start working again to make money.
In addition, she also asked an intermediary to show her a few houses.
After all, the old house on Minghua Road was too dilapidated. It was because her mother was hospitalized before, and she didn’t know when her father’s matter would be resolved. She was afraid that there were still many places where money would be needed, so she didn’t dare to spend a penny indiscriminately. , So I rented the cheapest house, thinking that it would be enough to keep out the wind and rain.
Now that things at home have been resolved and she can start working again, she plans to take out the last remaining savings and help her parents rent a better house.
Her parents are old, her mother has just had an operation, and her father has rheumatism. She lives in such a dark and humid environment all the year round. She is really afraid that something will go wrong.
After looking at the house for several days, I finally settled on the two-bedroom apartment in Splendid Garden.
The house is on Ping’an Road. The location is not prosperous, but it is not remote. The surrounding businesses are sufficient for daily needs.
The most important thing is that there is a wetland park next to it, which is very suitable for parents to take a walk when they have nothing to do.
After negotiating the price with the landlord, we signed a six-month contract.
But on the day of the move, my parents were actually a little unhappy, blaming her for wasting money without telling them.
She pulled her mother to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, “I’ve already found a job anyway, and I can make more money when I run out of money. The house on Minghua Road is so dilapidated, it’s been clammy and clammy all winter. I heard you cough. You just had the surgery, and if there is anything, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”
Zhou Xiuyun said: “How can it be so serious, others can live, why can’t I live.”
Shen Yansheng hugged her mother with a smile, and said coquettishly, “Okay, my good mother, anyway, if you don’t rent it, you will rent it, so you can live with peace of mind, and there is a wetland park opposite this community, so you and your father can go there when you are free. Take a walk. Seeing that spring is coming, going out for a walk will be good for your health.”
Shen Haihua also thought it made sense when he listened to it. He nodded and said, “Sheng Sheng is right. It is indeed better to move here than over Minghua Road.”
After speaking, he turned to Shen Yansheng and said, “But Shengsheng, consider this money borrowed from your father. I contacted a former friend yesterday and made an appointment to meet in two days to see if I can partner with him. Do a little business.”
Shen Yansheng was a little unhappy when he heard the words, and said, “Dad, you have to figure it out so clearly with me, then I owe you and your mother too much since I was a child, and I can’t pay it back in my life.”
Shen Haihua shook his head and said, “That’s different.”
Shen Yansheng sat over and took his father’s hand, and said, “Okay, okay, don’t think so much. Now I just hope that you and your mother are safe and healthy. The most important thing is that our family will always be together. As for whether we can earn Money, that doesn’t matter anymore.”
Shen Haihua nodded, clapped his daughter’s hand, and said, “Dad knows, you take care of yourself, don’t worry about us.”
After Shen Yansheng moved his parents, Lu Jingce came back not long after, and called her to ask when she would move to him.
Shen Yansheng was not hypocritical. Now that she was with Lu Jingce, she naturally wanted to move in with him.
Fortunately, she also found a new job. She told her parents that because the company was too far from home, she planned to live in the company dormitory on weekdays and return home on weekends.
Maybe it was because she never lied since she was a child, so her parents had no doubts, but told her to take good care of herself outside and not to work too hard.
Shen Yansheng actually felt very guilty about lying to his parents, so after moving to Lu Jingce’s place, he was depressed for a long time.
That night, Lu Jingce finally couldn’t stand her. When she said that he had no appetite to eat, he put down his chopsticks, looked at her coldly, and said, “You look like this, do you want me to find a psychiatrist to help you? have a look?”
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lu Jingce. Only then did she realize that Lu Jingce had endured her for a long time.
That’s right, he spent so much money on her with real money, and as a result, not only did she not have the consciousness of a canary, but she also showed her face all day long.
No wonder he didn’t get angry.
But she really didn’t mean it, but she didn’t want to make Lu Jingce angry, so she forced herself to eat more.
But before she ate two more bites, her stomach was tumbling and she wanted to vomit. She wanted to endure it, but the feeling of tumbling in her stomach was really uncontrollable. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom before spitting it out.
Seeing this, Lu Jingce couldn’t help frowning, and then ordered the servant, “Go and have a look.”
Aunt Ping responded and quickly followed.
Lu Jingce suddenly lost his appetite, and said to the housekeeper, “Go and call Doctor Yang and ask him to come over quickly.”
“Yes.” The housekeeper responded and immediately went down to call.
Twenty minutes later, the doctor came and examined Shen Yansheng. After asking some questions, he could roughly understand what the situation was. In addition to prescribing a prescription for the servant to buy medicine, before leaving, he also said to Lu Jingce: “Miss Shen is too weak, so it is uncomfortable to eat a little something, and I think she is not in a good mood, if possible, the best Find a psychiatrist.”
Lu Jingce frowned, “So serious?”
Dr. Yang said: “It may not be as serious as we thought, but Miss Shen must have something in her heart. It would be good to find a psychiatrist to help her.”
Lu Jingce rubbed his brows with a headache, nodded “Yeah” and said, “I see.”
After the doctor left, Lu Jingce turned around and returned to Shen Yansheng’s room.
Seeing Lu Jingce coming in, Shen Yansheng hurriedly sat up from the bed and explained, “I really didn’t mean it just now. My appetite has been bad recently, so I didn’t mean to show your face.”
Lu Jingce didn’t ask her this. He sat beside her bed, looked at her for a while, and suddenly asked, “Have you slept well recently?”
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, “What?”
“Have you had nightmares?”
Shen Yansheng was a little puzzled and looked at Lu Jingce, “Why do you ask that?”
Lu Jingce looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she refused to speak, he simply stopped asking, “Forget it, you have a good rest.”
After speaking, he got up, turned and left Shen Yansheng’s room.
Shen Yansheng actually didn’t feel that there was any problem with her mental state, she just felt that she was too tired for the past few months, the mental pressure was too great, and the pressure was so great that even if the danger was lifted now, her nerves were still tense.
It wasn’t until one day that Lu Jingce found her a psychiatrist. She felt that Lu Jingce was inexplicable, but after talking with the doctor, she realized that she had so many things in her heart that she wanted to talk about.
She cried for a long time, as if crying out the tears that had been suppressed in her heart for the past few months.
Lu Jingce was sitting in the living room smoking a cigarette, and Shen Yansheng could be heard crying in the study from the first floor.
He was so upset by Shen Yansheng’s crying that he smoked several cigarettes in a row, but the housekeeper couldn’t help reminding him, “Mr. Lu, you’ve already smoked almost half a pack of cigarettes now.”
Lu Jingce frowned and pushed the remaining half of the cigarette **** into the ashtray.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the doctor finally came down from the upstairs, and Lu Jingce went to **** him personally. When they got to the yard, the doctor smiled and said to Lu Jingce, “You don’t have to worry too much, Miss Shen’s condition is not serious, she is only in a short period of time. After experiencing the drastic changes in life, she was betrayed again, and she never confided to anyone. All the emotions were pressed in her heart for a long time. In addition, she was under too much mental pressure for a long time, and she was kidnapped. The fear at that time also left some trauma in her heart.”
Lu Jingce frowned and asked straight to the point, “So what should I do now?”
The doctor said, “If you have time, you can take Ms. Shen to go out for more outdoor activities. Spring is coming soon. Get in touch with nature and some happy things, and you will get better in time.”
