On the road.
There were many people.
There were men, women, old and young. Some were alone, some were in pairs, and some were in groups. They laughed, chatted, and sketched the outstanding floating picture. A grain of sand was a world, not to mention the bustling city center.
Shen Manjun was like an orphan, walking aimlessly on the street. She did not drive, nor did she find a walking companion. She walked and cried. She walked for a long time, and cried for a long time. She was tired, but she did not stop walking.
Once a person stopped, it was easy to recall the past. Good, bad, happy, painful. They would all come pouring into her head.
What she didn't need the most right now was to recall. She was worried about keeping herself innocent, and her mind clear. She tried her best to forget every day before today, even though it was painful and scary. But she had to do it.
"Shen Manjun, are you not going to take revenge for your father's death? He is your biological father. Even if he made a thousand mistakes, how could he not love you?
"Shen Manjun. Don't you understand him? Wasn't what he had done for you and what he had borne for you enough? If not for you, why would he be involved in this storm and almost lose his life? "
"…"
There seemed to be two people talking in her mind. They were unscrupulously destroying Shen Manjun, who was in so much pain that she wanted to die. They did not care about Shen Manjun's feelings at all, and used the most vicious and crazy words to rub salt on her wounds. It made it hard for her to breathe, almost suffocating.
She walked from day to night, walked to the cold wind, walked to the moon and stars hanging high in the sky. But she did not know where to go. Or was there a place that could take her in and give her a warm harbor?
"In this world, is there no place for me to stay? Can't there be a place for me, Shen Manjun? "
In the middle of the road, a large truck was speeding towards her. It lit up the entire street, and blocked Shen Manjun's path.
She took a step, ignoring the red light, and walked to the middle of the road.
Beep beep —
The piercing sound of the car horn rushed Shen Manjun. It was obvious that the truck driver was frightened by Shen Manjun's sudden appearance.
Whoosh!
A black shadow appeared, and with lightning speed, it grabbed Shen Manjun, who was waiting for death with her eyes closed, and ran across the road.
"F * ck! Are you fucking blind? "
The driver's loud curses came from the truck. From his voice, it was obvious that he had just survived a disaster.
Shen Manjun opened her eyes and saw a worried Xiao Zheng standing in front of her. He loosened his grip and stood helplessly in front of Shen Manjun, not knowing what to say or how to persuade her.
She was courting death.
Xiao Zheng, who had followed Shen Manjun all the way, knew what was going on. But even so, all Xiao Zheng could do was follow closely behind her. He did not dare to interfere, nor did he have the qualifications to give any opinions.
"You're here?" Shen Manjun's face was gloomy, and she asked in a very normal manner.
"I've always been here," Xiao Zheng said softly.
"I used to wish that you were always here." Shen Manjun's emotions were calm. It was as if she had just experienced a narrow escape from death. At this moment, she had become much more serene. "Even if I abandon everything, I don't want anything."
Xiao Zheng's mood was extremely complicated. He said bitterly, "I will always be here. As long as you need it. "
"Need it?" Shen Manjun smiled and said gloomily. "The only thing I need was also destroyed by you just now."
"This is not the path you should take." Xiao Zheng said in a low voice. "I also don't want you to go like this."
"Is there any other way?" Shen Manjun asked. "How do you think I should go? Where can I go? "
"I know. You won't forgive me. "Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile. "If you want, kill me and avenge your father."
"Kill you?" Shen Manjun said with a trembling voice. "Why would I kill you? How could I bear to kill you? "
Xiao Zheng's emotions were undulating. He said emotionally, "Since you can let me live, why can't you let yourself live?"
"Do I still have a way to live?" Shen Manjun asked. "Where is my way to live?"
"You do!" Xiao Zheng said each word forcefully. "You still have a bright future. This is not your only choice!"
"Who am I living for?" Shen Manjun said with a trembling voice. "Tell me. Who else is worth my life in this world? "
Xiao Zheng wanted to blurt it out, but after thinking about it, how could he have the face to say such words in front of her?
But if he didn't say it, how could he continue to persuade her?
Shen Manjun tonight made Xiao Zheng feel fear. This woman would really die, and die in front of him.
"Me." Xiao Zheng raised his head and puffed out his chest. "I'm sorry. I owe you my life. Can you take care of yourself and save your life to repay the debt? "
"Repay the debt?" Shen Manjun shook her head. "You don't owe me. You don't have to repay the debt. "
"Just because you don't need me doesn't mean I don't have to pay you back." Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice. "That's two different things."
"Then, how do you plan to pay me back?" Shen Manjun asked with a trembling voice. "Can you pay me back?"
Xiao Zheng stared at Shen Manjun's beautiful yet despairing eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay you back with my life. As long as you're alive, I'll always pay you back. "
Shen Manjun's eyes were brimming with tears. She said with a conflicted and painful expression, "Fine. I'll live. I'll live and wait for you to repay the debt. "
Xiao Zheng, you said that you'll pay me back with your life. Remember, remember what you said to me.
Xiao Zheng suddenly stretched out his arm and tightly held Shen Manjun's jade-like hands that seemed to be frozen by the cold wind. With a solemn expression, he said, "Live well. I don't owe anyone, so don't make me unable to find someone to repay the debt. "
Shen Manjun's face was full of tears. She was speechless and choked.
She had decided to live.
She didn't know how painful the road ahead would be. Perhaps she would be happier than any other woman. But she had decided to live. She would live for him.
In this world, how many women would live for a man?
Shen Manjun was one.
She truly lived for Xiao Zheng.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find a reason to continue living. Otherwise, she didn't know what value she had left to live in this world.
But now, she at least had a reason to live. To collect the debt. To give Xiao Zheng a chance to repay the debt.
In this way, would the conflict in her heart be resolved? In this way, would she be able to live peacefully?
"It's late," Xiao Zheng said softly. "It's time to go home."
"Which home?" Shen Manjun raised her head and looked at Xiao Zheng blankly.
"Your home." Xiao Zheng's eyes were calm, but he didn't point out which home it was.
Only Shen Manjun knew where her home was. How could Xiao Zheng guide her?
"It's time to go home," Shen Manjun said softly. "I haven't been home for a long time."
Ever since Xiao Zheng broke up with Zhao Laosi, Shen Manjun had never returned home. Now that Zhao Laosi was dead, it was time for her to go home. Otherwise, wouldn't the Zhao family be gone?
She couldn't let the Zhao family be gone.
She was still Mister Zhao's daughter. Even if Mister Zhao didn't care.
