Chapter 156 Finding Shen Qi
Shen Li looked at Bai Jin's anxious and curious look, and a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes. She thought to herself: It turns out that I was not wrong that day. Lord Bai really likes my aunt.
So she deliberately kept the audience in suspense. She tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and said slowly, "There are so many stories about my little aunt, just like beads on a string, one string after another, countless. Which one do you want to hear?"
As she spoke, she deliberately blinked her lively big eyes, with a hint of teasing in her gaze, as if she was testing Bai Jin's sincerity and waiting to see how he would respond next.
Bai Jin was stunned for a moment after hearing Shen Li's deliberately suspenseful words, then raised his hand and pointed at Shen Li's cute little nose with a helpless and doting look in his eyes. He joked, "You clever little girl, you only know how to manipulate me."
As he spoke, he sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Let's go, today, I will risk my life to accompany you to Zhuangzi.
As for your aunt, if you want to talk about it, you can tell her on the way. If you don’t want to, I can’t force you to.
Although there was a hint of helplessness in his words, the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed that he was really curious about Aunt Shen Li's affairs.
Bai Jin accompanied Shen Li in the carriage, and the carriage started off swayingly.
Bai Jin inadvertently turned his head to look at Shen Li, only to find that this little girl, who was usually full of energy and quirky, was now lowering her head after a while, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light haze. The originally lively spirit seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and even the air around her seemed to become dull and depressing.
Bai Jin was filled with confusion and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Little girl, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly as listless as a frost-bitten eggplant?"
Shen Li slowly raised her little head, her lips trembling slightly. After mumbling for a long time, she whispered, "Just now on the road, Shen Qi ran away, I... I didn't catch up with him!"
When she said this, there was a hint of loss and self-blame in her eyes, which made people feel distressed.
Bai Jin's eyes widened when he heard this, his face filled with surprise. In his impression, Shen Qi always stuck to Shen Li like a little tail, unwilling to leave for a moment. How could he suddenly run away? He hurriedly asked, "Did something happen? Why did he run away when everything was fine?"
When Shen Li heard this, the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes began to well up, and her eyes gradually became red. She sniffed hard and said in a crying voice, "When I went out this morning, he came with me, but I always felt that something was wrong with him, not the same as usual, so I took him to Huichuntang and wanted Doctor Li to take a look at him.
He was particularly repulsive to Dr. Li, as if his headache had recurred, and then…then he suddenly ran away, and I…I couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard I tried." At this point, tears as big as beans could no longer be held back and rolled down her tender cheeks.
Bai Jin was increasingly surprised, his brows furrowed tightly as he blurted out, "He ran away, and you didn't give him a second try? You just let him get away like that?"
Shen Li was silent for a long time, as if she was lost in deep thought. After a while, she slowly spoke again: "I think... I think he may have recovered his memory and wants to leave.
After all, his previous behavior might have been due to a momentary confusion after being injured. Now that he has sobered up, he naturally wants to go his own way, so...so I didn't continue to pursue him. "
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her small shoulders were trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was feeling very uncomfortable.
Bai Jin looked at Shen Li's sad little face, his eyes reddened, tears welled up in his eyes, rolling down from time to time. She looked so pitiful, like a little rabbit that had been wronged, and it made him feel as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.
He subconsciously moved slightly closer to Shen Li, leaning forward, his face full of concern and heartache, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be able to wrap people up.
He gently raised his hand and slowly placed it on Shen Li's shoulder, again and again, as if he wanted to give her some strength and comfort in this way.
Then, he lowered his voice and used the gentlest tone possible to comfort her softly, "Don't worry, little girl. There's no point in worrying about this. Even if he has recovered his memory, he's been here for so many days. I don't think he'll just leave without saying goodbye."
After all, we have been together for such a long time, there must be friendship, and there will always be some traces left.
Let's look for him slowly. As long as we put our heart into it, we'll definitely find him. Don't be too sad, okay."
As he spoke, he quickly reached into his sleeve and fumbled around, pulling out a clean and elegant handkerchief. He carefully handed it to Shen Li, shaking it slightly, motioning her to take it and wipe the tears from her face. His eyes were full of pity, and he only hoped that Shen Li could calm down as soon as possible.
The carriage swayed slowly along the road, and the wheels made a slight "creaking" sound as they rolled over the ground.
Shen Yu sat outside driving the carriage, his hands tightly gripping the reins, but his ears involuntarily pricked up as he listened to the conversation between Bai Jin and Shen Li in the carriage.
Listening to Shen Li's tearful words, he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart. He felt depressed and full of complaints about Shen Qi. He thought to himself: I don't know where Shen Qi has gone to, making the young lady so sad! Humph, it would be better if he never comes back!
But things in this world often go against one's wishes. Shen Yu was thinking unhappily when he looked forward and suddenly found Shen Qi standing quietly by the road not far ahead.
His eyes were burning with complex emotions as he stared at the carriage, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.
Seeing this, Shen Yu sighed helplessly, waved the small whip in the air lightly, and drove the horse towards where Shen Qi was.
When the carriage got closer, he quickly turned around and shouted into the carriage, "Miss, County Magistrate, Shen Qi has been found!"
Inside the carriage, Shen Li had been lowering her head, immersed in sadness. When she heard Shen Yu's words, she suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were still red, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. She hurriedly reached out and pulled open the curtain.
Looking through the lifted car curtain, I saw Shen Qi standing on the side of the road. At this moment, he looked like a poor abandoned little thing, standing there alone, looking a little lonely.
Shen Li's eyes instantly turned redder. She cried out with a trembling voice, "Shen Qi, come up quickly! If you run away again, I really don't want you anymore!"
Nangong Qi stood there quietly, looking at Shen Li's red eyes. The tears in her eyes seemed to hit his heart one by one, softening his originally tangled mind all of a sudden. He secretly decided to forgive this girl for the time being.
Without saying a word, he slowly walked over, lifted up his clothes, walked into the car and sat next to Shen Li.
After entering the car, he didn't say anything, but just silently reached out and gently held Shen Li's hand, as if silently telling her that he would not run away again and asked her not to be sad anymore.
Bai Jin was sitting nearby, and when he saw this scene, he frowned slightly. Although he felt that the relationship between the two was a little strange, thinking of Shen Qi's childish behavior, he didn't say anything, but just shouted to Shen Yu outside: "Let's go!"
After the voice fell, the carriage started off again, swaying and moving towards Zhuangzi.
