Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry to leave until Shen Manjun was tired, curled up in bed and fell asleep. Only then did he quietly leave the room.
He knew that Shen Manjun just couldn't think it through for a while, and didn't really want to die. When she woke up, she would find that the world wasn't as dark as last night. The sun in the sky was still warm, and the people were still friendly.
Strolling on the cold street, Xiao Zheng let the cold wind blow on his face. He always maintained a calm face and steady eyes.
Tonight, he found Yamamoto in the Zhao family's courtyard. A top expert who was famous in the West and known as the number one samurai in Japan. According to the information provided by Siyan, this person had already retired from the world for many years. He lived a semi-secluded life. But even so, he was still in the top three on the global list. And he occupied the first place for three years. With Xiao Zheng's understanding of Zhao Siye, would it be easy for him to spend so much effort to invite such a top assassin in the world to Pearl City? And who was it for?
Other than Xiao Zheng, who else could it be?
Now, Ye Shiguan was dead. How could the only remaining Black Bear be so valued by Zhao Siye? And according to Shen Manjun, Zhao Siye even eradicated those elders of the Zhao family who were in the way. He received a high degree of attention from the government.
In such an environment, he didn't forget to invite such a top assassin who was once famous in the world to Pearl City. His intentions were simply known to everyone!
"Zhao Siye. You may think that by finding an assassin with a high reputation in the industry, you will be safe. But do you know that Yamamoto is only ranked third, and I am the world's number one? "
…
Life had to go on. People couldn't stop eating because of choking, and they couldn't choose to end their lives because someone wanted to harm them or kill them. Even plants grew toward the sun. Not to mention people.
In the following days, Xiao Zheng would come to the hotel to accompany Shen Manjun to eat after work every day. Occasionally, he would go out to watch a funny movie with her. At first, Shen Manjun couldn't lift her spirits. Even when eating, she was full in a few mouthfuls. But as time went by, she slowly learned to find joy in bitterness. She put on her makeup and a beautiful dress before Xiao Zheng arrived.
People couldn't always remember one painful thing and forget the many beautiful things in this world. He gave the old beggar a dollar and took the leaflets that the staff worked hard to distribute under the scorching sun. Even taking the initiative to pass a dish to the waiter was a small but pleasing thing.
Shen Manjun seemed to have slowly forgotten the troubles that Mister Zhao had brought her. He learned to actively seek happiness again. She enjoyed this rare happy time with Xiao Zheng.
That evening, Xiao Zheng accompanied Shen Manjun to the hotel for dinner. Since there weren't any good movies to watch recently, Shen Manjun didn't have any clothes that were suitable for the season. Bored to death, he strolled along the crowded streets and enjoyed the night view of the bright pearls.
She held his arm, just like all the couples on the street. It didn't seem out of place at all.
Tonight, with the bright moon in the sky and a cool breeze, she was in an unprecedentedly wonderful mood.
But just like pain wouldn't follow a person for a lifetime, happiness was often more temporary than pain. When Shen Manjun, who was smart enough, regained her rationality, she realized an embarrassing problem that she had to face.
"You come to accompany me after work every day. Will it affect your relationship with Lin Huayin? "Shen Manjun asked tentatively.
She longed for every minute and second that she could spend with Xiao Zheng, but she wasn't a domineering woman who would take pleasure in hurting others. Especially the man she held was a man that she would never bear to hurt.
"I remember. You used to make breaking up with her as your goal in life. "Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette in the wind and asked with a smile. "Why are you thinking for her now?"
"That was before. Now is now, "Shen Manjun said fairly. "It's not the same day."
"Don't worry." Xiao Zheng flicked the cigarette ash and joked. "As her classmate, don't you know her? Once she starts working, she can't even take care of her sister, let alone me. What's more, it's the expansion phase of the Yanjing branch. Aside from dealing with the headquarter's business, she also has to follow up with the branch. She's so busy that she only sleeps five to six hours a day. How would she have the time to care about me? "
Shen Manjun pursed her lips and said, "To be honest, she's indeed a hundred times better than me. Even her psychological quality is not something I can compare with. "
"I agree with this point." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and sighed. "I've never seen such a tenacious and brave woman in my life. One person supporting such a big company. She also has to ensure that she has enough mental strength and fighting spirit. Not just any woman can do it. "
"Then why don't you help her?" Shen Manjun added in her mind. Help her like how you helped me. Isn't she your wife?
"In front of her, I'm just an ignorant and incompetent person. Not to mention helping her, I'm lucky if I don't cause trouble for her. "Xiao Zheng smiled and said in boredom. "And to be honest with you. With my business acumen, I really can't help her much. "
With a faint smile, Shen Manjun persuaded, "Everyone has their own specialties. She has a business acumen, but she's not better than you in other aspects. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Apart from me peeing while standing, I really can't think of anything better than her."
"Who told you that women can't pee while standing?" Shen Manjun, who had regained her spirit, smiled.
"— —"
Up ahead was the end of the pedestrian street. After passing through the pedestrian street, the two would soon arrive at the riverbank and enjoy the more beautiful night view. However, when Shen Manjun passed by a small shop, the goods inside were very exquisite.
"Let's go in and have a look?" Shen Manjun smiled.
"Mhm." Xiao Zheng nodded and followed Shen Manjun in.
It was a very ordinary shop. Of course, this ordinary shop was one that countless single men and women did not dare to enter. Because this shop specialized in couple accessories. It wasn't expensive, but it was dazzling, and all of them were tokens of love.
Xiao Zheng saw the name of the shop, and from the outside, he also saw that all the people inside were couples choosing the goods. But he couldn't refuse Shen Manjun's invitation. There was a reason, but there seemed to be no reason. In any case, Xiao Zheng's real intention at the moment was to satisfy all of Shen Manjun's wishes.
He really couldn't see Shen Manjun's lonely and disappointed look again. Because in three days, Xiao Zheng was about to do something that few people dared to do, and few people were willing to do, but he would definitely do it.
And this was the most harmful thing in the world to Shen Manjun.
Atonement?
Maybe.
