After the awards ceremony, Shen Zhen exchanged pleasantries with the people who received the awards together. Most of these people came from the bottom and worked their way up. The heirs of big families usually inherit their fatherâs business. Few of them would come to receive such awards, unless it was nationwide.
So this time when Shen Zhen came to participate in the award ceremony, the program team was also very surprised.
When Shen Zhen and Qin Xing stepped out of the TV station, there were still people behind them who kept passing over their business cards.
âThis is probably the last time I will participate in an award ceremony.â Shen Zhen whispered, âI donât know who wrote the award speech, they are too talented.â
Qin Xing laughed softly: âThey have a template, itâs fixed.â
Shen Zhen asked strangely: âHave you attended an award ceremony before?â
Qin Xingâs expression became a bit weird, the past was truly not worth looking back on. It was when he was in his early twenties. After all, it was nationwide, and he really couldnât refuse. Qin Xing bowed his head and said in Shen Zhenâs ear, âLetâs go eat first.â
When mentioning eating, Shen Zhen was indeed a little hungry. After all, he hadnât eaten much all day, and now he finally felt hungry.
âIâve already made a reservation at the restaurant.â Qin Xing opened the car door, and Shen Zhen automatically sat in. It was only then he realized it, and thanked Qin Xing.
Qin Xing had already sat beside Shen Zhen. He gently rubbed Shen Zhenâs hair, his eyes gentle: âThere is no need for thanks between us.â
Shen Zhen: ââŚ..â
Why didnât he notice that this person was so good at flirtatious remarks before?
The driver was sitting in front, and curled his lips involuntarily, ai, the life of a single dog was not easy.
The reserved restaurant was the most high-end gourmet restaurant in the city. The taste was top-notch and the price was also high, and it only accepted reservations. Their table was on the top floor of the tallest building in the city. The floor was made of thickened tempered glass. From the outside, this restaurant looked to be suspended in mid-air, and it had the reputation of a restaurant in the sky, but this also repelled many people who were afraid of heights.
The decoration of the lobby was by a world-renowned designer. It adopted a minimalist futuristic style, but there was not much metal used. The whole restaurant was clean and generous. As soon as Shen Zhen entered, he knew that this was definitely Qin Xingâs favorite restaurant. There was no other reasonââit looked very clean.
The waiters wore white uniforms with no stains on them.
There was a smile on their faces, and they would bow 30 degrees politely when guests came in.
Both male and female, their looks were all very pleasant, and their manners and behavior could also be called elegant.
Someone was playing classical music in the hall, the tune melodious. The well dressed guests sat in their seats, and the aroma of food wafted in the air.
âMr. Qin.â The waitress led the way with a smile on her face.
This was a high-end Chinese restaurant, and each dish was only a little amount, but the presentation was so beautiful that when Shen Zhen began to eat, he kept feeling that he could eat hundreds of servings just by himselfââthough it turned out that he couldnât eat that much.
Qin Xing watched Shen Zhen put down his chopsticks: âAre you full?â
Shen Zhen nodded: âIâm full.â
âShall I take you back?â Qin Xing asked.
Just as Shen Zhen was about to answer, Qin Xing asked again, âOr go to Qin manor?â
Qin Xing smiled, his eyes full of affection, and there seemed to be thousands of thoughts in his eyes.
Shen Zhen: ââŚ..I have something to do tomorrow, so Iâd better go home tonight.â
Qin Xingâs smile remained: âIâll take you back.â
When the car drove to the building where Shen Zhen lived and Shen Zhen was about to step out, Qin Xing suddenly reached out and hugged him from behind, and Shen Zhen was enveloped into Qin Xingâs embrace just like that. Qin Xing asked: âDid you forget something?â
Shen Zhenâs mind went blank: âForgetâŚ..forget what?â
When Qin Xing spoke, his hot and humid breath blew lightly at his skin. He said softly, âGoodbye kiss.â
Shen Zhen: ââŚ..â
Where did this person learn such old fashioned sweet talk?
Shen Zhen had goosebumps.
Forced to have no choice but to turn his head, Shen Zhen bit the bullet and kissed Qin Xingâs face.
Just when Shen Zhen made contact, Qin Xing suddenly turned his head, and the lips of the two touched instead. Shen Zhenâs eyes widened, but he didnât pull away immediately. Qin Xing lightly bit Shen Zhenâs upper lip before releasing him.
âGo.â Qin Xing said with a smile.
Shen Zhen got out of the car in a daze, stayed in place and watched the car start before leaving his sight.
After a few minutes, he shook his head and walked into the building.
Turning on the lights, he saw that Mama Zhang hadnât come back yet, so Shen Zhen called Mama Zhang.
âIs he awake yet?â Shen Zhen asked.
Mama Zhangâs mood became much more stable: âNot yet, but the doctor said there shouldnât be any problem.â
Shen Zhen: âThatâs good. Donât push yourself too hard. You havenât slept well these days, right? Ask a nurse to help you look after him, so you can have a good sleep.â
Mama Zhang: âI donât feel tired, Iâm fine.â
That was her own son, conceived in her womb, slowly growing up from a small embryo to have hands and feet. Every movement of the fetus, every pain the mother suffered, was like experiencing the miracle of life with the child.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhen sat on the sofa. He thought of his mother. He hadnât seen her for such a long time that he nearly forgot there was even such a person.
In his last life until the end, he never saw her.
Sometimes Shen Zhen wondered, were they really mother and son?
Children always have such hopes about their mother.
Shen Zhen washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. Did he resemble her in any way?
Was it the shape of the face or the eyes, the nose or the lips?
When he was suffering, did she feel distress?
Just when Shen Zhen was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Liâs voice came from outside the door: âElder Brother, Elder Brother! Open the door! Are you at home?!â
Shen Liâs voice was very urgent, as if he had encountered some important event that could not be resolved.
Shen Zhen went to open the door on bare feet. The moment he opened the door, Shen Li rushed in from the door and threw himself into Shen Zhenâs arms.
Shen Zhen was caught off guard, looking in exaspereation at Shen Li in his arms. His hands had nowhere to rest, he could only hang them in the air: âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â
Shen Liâs face was red: âSecond Brother, he ran to the Chuâs to make trouble and was beaten out.â
Shen Zhen: âAnd then?â
Shen Li was at a loss: âAfter being beaten out, he was hit by a car.â
This personâs luckâŚ..he really didnât know whether to say good or bad.
Shen Li: âI called Dad. Dad said that he wanted to have him learn a good lesson and didnât send anyone over. Second Brother also refused to go to the hospital. Said it was embarrassing.â
Shen Zhen: âWhere is he now?â
Shen Li: âI opened a hotel for them, and they are staying in the hotel now.â
Shen Zhen sighed: âYou come to me, but what can I do?â
Shen Li was taken aback, oh, thatâs right.
Shen Li turned his head and said, âDo you know where Su Shiqing is? If it werenât for him, would Second Brother have become so illogical? He must take responsibility for Second Brother!â
âI donât know where he is.â Shen Zhen said honestly, âIsnât he at the Chuâs?â
Shen Li: âI heard that Chu Haoyi has gone crazy looking for him recently, and so has Qin Yue, but I donât know if he has been found or not.â
Shen Zhen was a little sleepy: âGo back first, Iâm going to rest.â
Shen Li suddenly whispered: âEldest Brother, do you hate Dad and us very much?â
During this period of time, Shen Li had been thinking about this question. He knew from a very young age that he had an elder brother named Shen Zhen, but this elder brother was not in the Shen family. His father told them that their elder brother was now in the Qin family.
At that time, Shen Li thought that his elder brother was an amazing person. After all, although he was young at that time, he knew the status of the Qin family.
But his other two brothers didnât think so.
They told Shen Li that although Shen Zhen was their eldest brother, it was only a blood relationship, they had no feelings for each other, and Shen Zhen would only rob them of their family property.
Teenagers with second year junior high syndrome hated this kind of thing the most.
Shen Liâs impression of his eldest brother Shen Zhen also became extremely bad.
He had never lived at home and made no contribution to the Shen family, so why should he come back and snatch away what belonged to them?
For a long time, Shen Zhen was Shen Liâs imaginary enemy.
But now, when Shen Li looked at Shen Zhen, he no longer thought about it that way. He felt that Eldest Bother was more reliable than his other two older brothers. After he left the Shen family, only this elder brother helped him, unlike Shen Yun and Shen Mu who not only didnât care about him, but also criticized him all the time, as if it was something heinous that he didnât like Su Shiqing.
Shen Liâs world was very simple, people who treated him well were good people, and those who treated him badly were bad people.
It was because of this simplicity that Shen Zhen had a good impression of him.
Although the child was a but noisy and annoying, he at least would not stir up trouble for no good reason.
âEldest Brother.â Shen Li said hesitantly, âWhat do you think of my performance in the company recently?â
Shen Zhen let out a yawn: âNot bad.â Going to and from work on time, and although his work progress was only one-third of others, but as an intern, one couldnât ask for too high a standard. After all, Shen Li was also a child who had never done any work since childhood. He was just a young master who pursued being a rice bug in life.
Shen Li quickly said: âThen how about you make me a regular employee? The current salary is too low!â
Shen Zhen: âWhat did the senior who mentors you say?â
Shen Li: ââŚ..â
Seniorâs demands on him have increased recently, and the compliments couldnât be heard anymore, instead he went back to furiously dissing him every day.
Dissing him to the point of losing all love for life.
In the hotel room at this time, Shen Yun was lying on the bed, breathing unsteadily, and said with difficulty: âIt must be Chu HaoyiâŚ..who hid Shi Qing away.â
Shen Mu offered Shen Yun a glass of water at the side: âBrother, you should go to the hospital.â
Shen Yun flatly refused: âNo, I canât go, so many people are waiting to see my humiliation, how would I have any face left if I go.â
Shen Mu couldnât understand. He sat on the side and felt that Shen Yunâs madness was a bit too much. If the car didnât brake in time, Shen Yun could only go to see the lord of the underworld now.
He still remembered Shen Yunâs crazy look at that time, like a drug addict in a fit.
Could it beâŚ..that he was also like that before?
Shen Mu suddenly became a little scared. Could it be that he and Shen Yun looked like two lunatics before?
Seeing Shen Yun who was still scolding the Chu family, Shen Mu swallowed, he kind of wanted to go home now.
