Chapter 245: Past Lives and Present Lives

Xu Juan was home alone at noon, and I don’t know if I had a good meal, or if I made do with instant noodles alone.

When he passed by Hao Jia Ji, Cheng Ming wanted to buy a junk food for Xu Juan. Although her face was expressionless, Cheng Ming felt that she had eaten quite happily the last time, sucking on her greasy fingers afterward.

What a treat just to watch her.

By the way, I asked Shen Shin-san how she was doing, whether she had taken her driver’s license and it was time to think about buying a mobility scooter.

The weather is getting colder and riding a motorcycle isn’t as enjoyable.

Then rent a more formal office space, open a couple of shell companies, and hedge your bets.

As soon as Cheng Ming entered the store, Suzaku and Suzaku didn’t rush out to drag his arms as usual, they should be taking a nap at this moment.

Cheng Ming looked around the store and did not see Shen Xiao’s figure, she had been staying in the main store a lot lately.

Mostly because she was over at the branch, her aura was so strong that the part-time students had a sense of trepidation.

Having a veteran sent over from the head store side to take people there, and her house just happened to be in the neighborhood, was the best of both worlds.

Shen Shin just goes and shows his face every now and then.

Sister Shen Shiao also took advantage of the graduates of Nanming College to enter into a series of partnerships with the university’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Diligence.

“Sister Qiaoyun, did Sister Shen Xiao not come over today?” Cheng Ming asked as he plopped down in front of the counter.

“Yeah, the day before yesterday she said she wasn’t feeling well and went back to rest first, and she didn’t come over yesterday or today, so I’m a little worried about her ah, but I don’t really want to go back over there ……”

Zhan Qiaoyun reveals a bitter smile, does not quite want to go back to the old side of the street, more acquaintances, easy to be discussed behind the back, what she evening the big money, become a rich man’s speech certainly have.

Nor do I want to see my ex-husband and recall those days of fear.

Divorce has been almost half a year, the idea of remarriage is not at all, every day to live a full and busy life, but also saved a little money, this year should be able to have a good year.

“Sister Shen Xiao is sick?” Cheng Ming asked in shock.

“I didn’t care at first because I thought it was just a girl thing the other day. But no one for two days in a row is a bit unusual.”

“I’ll go to her house.”

“Trouble.”

Cheng Ming bought some fruits on the way, he couldn’t visit or pay a visit empty-handed.

Cheng Ming hadn’t been to Shen Xiao’s house in a long time, even though it seemed like her mom and dad had been trying to thank him and his dad for a long time, and even wanted to invite them for dinner.

But Cheng Ming has been dragging his feet for fear of revealing himself.

The wooden door was unlocked, leaving a small crack in the door, Cheng Ming still knocked politely on the door first and shouted, “May I ask if anyone is home?”

“Here it comes, here it comes, who is it!”

Shen Shiao’s father, Shen Shan, came to open the door and asked Cheng Ming as he fondly looked at his face, “You’re Shen Shiao’s student, aren’t you?”

“Right, right, right.” Cheng Ming nodded and said.

It’s good to remember yourself.

“Really thank you too much, or else my family Erwa’s illness wouldn’t know how long it would drag on.” Shen Shan labored.

“You’re too kind, Sister Shen Xiao has also helped me a lot. If it wasn’t for her helping me with my homework, I wouldn’t have gotten second place in my class.”

“Shen Shin has been sick for the last few days and didn’t give you any lessons, will it affect your studies? This child still catches a cold even after growing up so big.”

“It didn’t affect me, I just finished the midterm exams, and Sister Shen Shiao gave me a few days off, did she catch a cold?”

“It could be that the weather has cooled down over the past few days and I accidentally caught a cold.”

“Oh, no hospital or clinic visit?”

“She was distressed about the money, said no, drink some hot water, lie down for a day will be fine, the result is almost two days days has not been good, has been sleeping, but also talking strange dream words. It’s like a ghost possessed, I would have waited for my wife to get off work in the evening, together dragged her to the clinic side to see, just buy some medicine to eat or not, and then buy some gold paper to burn.”

Shen Shan led Cheng Ming through the door and said, “Make yourself at home, I’ll pour you a glass of water.”

“No, no, I’ll do it myself, go ahead and get busy if Uncle has anything to do.”

“I’m sorry I can’t entertain you properly, I have to go on duty soon, just make yourself at home.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, just hurry up and be careful on your way, I’ll take care of myself.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Shen Shan hurried out the door, their family was busy making money to pay off their debts. Even though Cheng Ming had said that his part of the money was not urgent, their family still owed money to friends and family.

It’s not easy for everyone, especially at the end of the year when it’s time to use money. Even if you don’t pay it all off at once, a little bit is a little bit.

Cheng Ming quite likes to deal with this kind of simple and hardworking people, sincere and not pretentious, and not so many crooked thoughts.

Cheng Ming gently pushed open Shen Xiao and Shen Xi’s bedroom door.

Wearing pajamas, Shen Xiao lay on her side on the bed, her body curled up into a ball, the corners of her mouth a little dry and cracked, and her long, messy hair spread out on the pillow.

There was white porridge on the table, cold and untouched by a single bite.

Cheng Ming moved a chair over and sat on the edge of the bed, admiring Shen Xiao’s sleeping face.

Shen Shin wears flat, black-framed glasses on weekdays in an attempt to hide her beauty.

Of course, it’s impossible to get to that place with just a pair of glasses, but it does subtract points appropriately.

Plus she doesn’t wear makeup and can’t be bothered to do so, she’s always veiled and also wears clothes that don’t really show off her figure.

Cheng Ming touched Shen Xiao’s forehead, it was a little hot, he couldn’t leave it like that.

First, he went to fetch water and got a wet towel, pressed Shen Xiao’s shoulders, made her lie down flat, lifted her bangs, and then covered her with the wet towel.

Cheng Ming just left his hand, Shen Xiao suddenly dreamily said, “Don t kill me, don t kill me, I don t want to die …… yet.”

The voices grew louder and louder, his body reacting more and more violently, flailing his arms about, kicking off the covers, dropping the wet towel aside.

Cheng Ming held Shen Xiao’s hand tightly and soothed, “Don’t be afraid, no one will kill you, I’m right here, I’ll protect you!”

What kind of horrible nightmare did you have to have such an exaggerated reaction?

Shen Xiao gradually calmed down and slowly opened her eyes, asking weakly, “Cheng Ming, why are you here? Am I still dreaming?”

“It’s not a dream, I’m really here.” Cheng Ming pinched Shen Xiao’s face and said, “What kind of nightmare did you have, it almost scared me.”

No wonder Sister Shen Shin’s dad said the ghosts are possessed.

“I had a terrible, very real nightmare and almost thought I was going to die and not wake up, but luckily I heard your voice.”

Shen Xiao clutched Cheng Ming’s hand tightly and stuffed it into her arms, her shoulders trembling slightly as tears streamed down her face.

Cheng Ming sat on the edge of the bed, moved closer, rubbed Shen Xiao’s head, and said comfortingly, “It’s okay, it’s already okay, it’s just a nightmare.”

“That nightmare has happened more than once, and each time it’s clearer and more real.”

“More than once, remember well?”

“It’s like it really happened.”

“Oh, can you tell me about the nightmare?”

“It was a nightmare of a world without you.”

“Without me?”

“Uh-huh.”

“I didn’t meet you, I didn’t know Sister Qiaoyun, I didn’t open a store, I didn’t go to the provincial capital, all of it.”

Shen Xiao shook her head and said, “Xiao Xi’s illness has been dragged on, and when I borrowed money from Ye Binsong, he threatened to pay me back. Otherwise, he would work for her and would lend me money again after helping.”

“I had no choice but to help him, not only by going along with the photo shoot that caused your parents to get divorced, but by doing more bad things.”

“Walked a lot of company’s black accounts, embezzlement of public funds, transfer of wealth to foreign bank accounts, and then transfer the money to the bank accounts of some officials, these officials will soon be prosecuted and investigated. But Ye Binsong will only give me a little bit of hard-earned money each time, how can I not get together the medical expenses of Xiaoxi, the family’s hole is getting bigger and bigger.”

“Ye Binsong would drive me to the hutong every time, the gossip was growing, even Xiao Xi knew, “Sis, you’re working as a mistress for a rich man, aren’t you, are you going out to sell? Even if I die, I don’t need the dirty money you earned with your body.””

“I said no, I’m not that kind of dirty woman, I carry a knife with me. If Ye Bin Song dares to make a move on me, I will die with him, Ye Bin Song also seems to think that I still have a use for me, and also very obedient, so I did not make a move on me, or maybe he was afraid of the director’s wife of the Urban Renewal Authority. But even so, the money I earn is not clean is.”

“I know that he and the director’s wife of the URA have been having rendezvous, he’s actually a gigolo that the director’s wife has adopted, the director’s wife’s godfather is a big shot, the director and Ye Binsong are both where they are today because of her.”

“But Creek didn’t believe me, and Mom and Dad were trying to persuade me, and they couldn’t stand all that talk out there, and the family couldn’t carry on, and Creek didn’t want to cause us any trouble, and jumped into the river and killed herself ……”

The more Shen Xiao spoke, the more agitated she became, Cheng Ming hugged her shoulders tightly and held her hand back, saying, “It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream, Sister Shen Xi’s disease has been cured, and she’s going to school in the province.”

Cheng Ming, however, knew that it was afraid that it was not a dream, but a past life of Sister Shen Shiao, and it might not be professional enough to say that it was a past life.

Parallel worlds?

Regarding Shen Xiaoyi’s past life, Cheng Ming was all subjective and cumbersome based on the news reports in his fuzzy memory, but the specifics were unknown.

“Knowing that Xiaoxi died, my mom directly fell ill, and I didn’t know what was the point of everything I did, and Ye Binsong came to my door again, and wanted to borrow money to cure my mom.”

“I knew part of his secret now, and there was no way someone like him would leave me alone, I took the money. Since my mom really needed that money, I continued to do his dirty work for him while collecting evidence of his crimes with the intention of reporting him.”

“I have also thought about whether to sell my body to seduce him, stab him to death, and then kill myself and die with him. But if it’s this method of revenge, even if I die, I won’t have the face to see my sister right, I must keep my body to fulfill my revenge.”

“But Ye Bin Song has not given me a chance, he is more and more careful, just rely on my little traces of information can not help him, silent for a long time, Ye Bin Song and let me then remit the money to the officials of the bank account, set them up, do this thing, Ye Bin Song seems to have changed a person, he wanted to go abroad to take refuge. But the director’s wife wanted to go with him, and the two had a big fight.”

“The chief’s wife found me and wanted me to frame the chief and give me so much information about the chief’s embezzlement.”

“I thought my chance had come, using this information to draw out this pair of dogs again. But I didn’t expect Ye Binsong to appear behind the director’s wife, wearing gloves to push me off the floor, saying that ‘the evidence of a dead man is ironclad evidence’, so it turned out that their quarrel was an act, but I couldn’t do anything anymore, and there was just a whistling cracking sound in my ears.”

Shen Xiao shivered as she finished all this and curled up in Cheng Ming’s arms in fear, the fear of death.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s just a somewhat real dream.”

The motive was love murder, the godfather of the director’s wife hadn’t been in trouble yet, and the deceased was an insignificant little person like Shen Shin.

Cheng Ming remembered a little bit more, the director’s wife seemed to have gotten a certificate of mental illness, and then went abroad for treatment and got away with it.

The trail of Uncle Lin’s embezzlement with the Director also breaks here at the dead Shen Shin, forming a closed loop that sends shivers down your spine.

“It was indeed a very scary dream ah, I felt like I was watching a movie. But you can rest assured, a few days ago Ye Bin Song was sentenced to twelve years and six months, while the director’s wife was sentenced to three suspended sentences.”

Cheng Ming didn’t want to tell Shen Xiao that it was a so-called ‘past life’, something that had really happened, it would only break her spirit, right?

Because her time stops at the moment of death, it’s best to forget.

Unlike Cheng Ming, who knew the more distant future, the memories of his past life were a complete burden to Shen Xiao, right?

Cheng Ming wondered why Shen Xiao suddenly had such dreams and whether other people also had such dreams.

Do you need anything to trigger it?

It’s reborn, but it’s only reborn.

Cheng Ming didn’t have the energy to research any parallel world theories, or space-time machines. What’s more, he couldn’t research it either, he was just a mundane person who wanted to make a little money and love the people he loved.

Cheng Ming also didn’t understand what Mrs. Director’s weird smile meant.

But she may have true love for Ye Bin Song, or else she wouldn’t have taken the blame for the murder, even if she could afford to stay out of jail.

“Yes?” Shen Shin asked in a hoarse voice.

“Well, they’ve already been sanctioned by the law, even if they appear in front of you again, I’ll still protect you and Sister Shen Xi’s and won’t let you be bullied again.”

“Woohoo ……”

Shen Xiao’s cries became more and more miserable, and Cheng Ming could only keep comforting her.

Having just finished meeting with Ye Mei and hearing such a shocking thing, it left Cheng Ming with mixed feelings in his heart.

Even killing people without blinking an eye, that Ye Binsong screwed both of their families, but also did not lay down a deadly hand.

Remembering old times? Or do you want to see them struggle and suffer? Bad taste?

“Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming, it’s so good to meet you.”

“Well, so did I. We both met each other before we started rewriting each other’s destinies… is it better now?”

Cheng Ming cupped Shen Xiao’s chin and his fingers wiped away her teardrops.

“Let you see a scene of my disgrace.”

“It’s not bad to see such a Sister Shen Xiao once in a while, it’s cute.” Cheng Ming laughed.

“What cuteness, I’m an old woman.”

“Where’s the old age, isn’t it only twenty-four?”

“It’s nine years older than you are.”

“It’s not even a round older than me, where’s the old age, a round older is only twenty-seven.”

“Will you still be able to say such things in another ten years? A woman’s face can’t withstand ten years.” Shen Xiao’s hands clamped onto Cheng Ming’s cheeks and asked.

“Of course you can, don’t underestimate a man’s thick skin ah.” Cheng Ming’s one hand covered the back of Shen Xiao’s hand, the other stroked across her lips and said, “Your mouth is dry and cracked, your throat is hoarse after talking so much, let me go get you a cup of hot water.”

“Don’t go, don’t leave me.”

Shen Xiao grabbed the corner of Cheng Ming’s coat like a small child and pouted.

“I’m just going to get you a glass of water, I won’t leave you, be right back.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Can you walk the walk?”

“That should do it.”

Shen Xiao got out of bed and put on her shoes, straightening up with Cheng Ming’s assistance.

The plump breasts pressed on Cheng Ming’s body, and Cheng Ming wrapped his arm around her waist and walked out of the bedroom.

“Why don’t you sit down for a while and I’ll get you a cup of hot water?”

Shen Shin shook his head.

Even Cheng Ming wouldn’t dare to put one arm around Shen Xiao and pour water with the other hand carrying a thermos.

“Then you hold me.”

Shen Xiao obediently wrapped her arms around Cheng Ming’s waist from behind as the pressure came from behind.

Cheng Ming, who had freed his hands, took out the bowl, pulled up the cork on the warmer, poured out the steaming boiling water, and only poured the evening.

This should have been burned just before Shen Shan left the house.

Cheng Ming picked up the bowl and ‘huffed and puffed’.

“It’s a little hot, be careful.”

Cheng Ming turned around, Shen Xiao still had no intention of letting go, and the two became face to face.

“Drink.”

“Uh-huh.”

Shen Xiao first licked the surface of the water with her pink tongue and slowly drank it in small sips.

The dense heat filled the front of their faces, Cheng Ming held the water steadily, but his body was just so obedient.

Shen Xiao obviously felt the changes in Cheng Ming’s body, containing anger and pouting, “Little pervert, still hasn’t changed at all, from the first time we met to now ……”

“It can’t be helped, because Shen Shin-san is so beautiful, it’s normal that I can’t control myself.”

Cheng Ming deliberately used Yinping to read himself, sounding like some kind of common fowl.

“Stinky rascal, Jing Jing is your girlfriend, where’s Zi Yi?”

“Fake girlfriend.” Cheng Ming said in a serious manner.

“Bah, men really are no good.”

“No way to argue with that, but I’m still a boy.”

“Where are you a boy, except for your body, you are simply more like a man than a man, when it comes to business.”

“Nonsense, obviously my body looks like a man’s too.”

Cheng Ming would like to move around and poke Sister Shen Xiao. But he was afraid that she was mentally unstable right now and would be frightened by him.

Although Cheng Ming could indeed be categorized as a good astringent, not a decent person. However, he was not the kind of person who would take a bite out of a strawberry if he saw one.

The hot water in the bowl cooled a bit and the heat dissipated, Shen Xiao drank it all in one gulp, put her head on Cheng Ming’s shoulder, stroked his back and said, “Yes …… the shoulders are very broad and hard, making people feel at ease, a man.”

“Sister Shen Xiao, more hot water?”

“Another bowl.”

Cheng Ming once again turned around to pour the water, then turned back to carry the water to feed Sister Shen Xiao.

“Sister Shen Xiao, more water?”

“My stomach is a little up, I want to go to the toilet …… toilet.” Shen Xiao stammered, already in a haze.

“Then just go on, it’s normal, you can also see what color the urine is and whether the body is healthy or not. But there’s no need to see it’s only right, Sister Shen Xiao should be yellow today.”

“Don’t you say that again, really!”

Cheng Ming led Shen Shin into the toilet, which was a bit simple, but there was a squatting pit. Before Shen Xi found out about that disease, the hard-working Shen Xiao’s family had a pretty good life.

“Sister Shen Shin, call me when you’re better.”

“Don’t go, please.” Shen Xiao weakly begged.

“Is it okay if I just stand in your line of sight? Just leave the door open and I’ll wait outside.”

“No, I can’t even stand without holding onto your body.”

“Eh …… Well then, I’ll plug my ears and let you know when you’re better.”

Shen Xiao removed her pajama pants with one hand, while the other slid all the way down Cheng Ming’s waist and slowly crouched down.

After a long wait, there was still no movement at all, whether it was the sound of clinking water or words like ‘I’m better’.

“Sister Shen Shin, are you still not well? Do you need me to whistle?”

“No, in a minute.”

“You already have a cold and flu, it wouldn’t be good if you stayed naked, would it? It’ll get worse, I’m blowing it off, boo hoo ……”

Regardless of one of the three seven two, Cheng Ming blew up, before helping Xiao Li blew up, is also considered a bit of experience.

“Still nothing?”

Cheng Ming’s mouth was blown dry, Shen Xiao still didn’t move, if the sister, this has been peed twice.

“I’m not three years old, how could it possibly work!”

“That’s going to be in a grown-up way?”

Well, that sounds a little shibboleth.

“No, it’ll be done in a minute really, phew ……”

In the end, Shen Shin still succeeded on her own, but after the sound of water stopped, she didn’t see Shen Shin’s sister say yes.

“Sister Shen Xiao, your legs are numb?” Cheng Ming guessed.

It felt like a little too long of a squat.

“Uh-huh.”

“Can’t stand up by yourself?”

“Can’t make it work.”

“Do you need me to help you?” Cheng Ming inquired.

“Help me with your eyes closed.”

“That’s kind of hard, I’ll try not to look away then, I’ll turn around.”

It’s true that adults, development and little girls just can not be compared ah, urine is really yellowish.

Cheng Ming’s hands passed through the cackling nest of Shen Shin, whose face was like fire, and lifted her body.

Shen Shin lifted his pajama pants with his right hand and hid his left hand behind his back.

Before Shen Shin washed her hands, Cheng Ming glimpsed that Sister Shen Shin’s left hand seemed to be dirty.

It’s common for men to accidentally get urine on their hands, but it’s harder for girls, right? ……

Well, it’s hard. Just pretend you don’t see it at this point.

Cheng Ming helped Sister Shen Xiao back into the bedroom to lie down.

It always felt like this operation had aggravated Sister Shen Xiao’s condition.

“Sister Shen Xiao, we’d better go to the hospital and get some medicine.”

“No, no, no, I’ll get some sleep and I should be fine tomorrow.”

“Really, are you still sleeping?”

“It’s a little scary, but I should be able to sleep, it’s not like I can stop sleeping just because I’m having nightmares, I shouldn’t have nightmares if I have you with me, just stay with me until I fall asleep, and then you can go when I do.”

“Sleep or no sleep, let’s take your temperature first, do you have a thermometer at home?”

“No.”

“Then take a forehead test.”

Cheng Ming once again lifted Shen Xiao’s bangs and leaned down, his foreheads touching.

Sure is hot.

“This one is the one ……”

“No, we must go to the hospital, we can’t drag it out, I’m most afraid of dragging a small illness into a big one, change your clothes.” Cheng Ming said forcefully.

“I know.”

Perhaps because she had already been seen by Cheng Ming just now, Shen Xiao was even more indifferent when she changed her clothes, and even more inseparable from Cheng Ming.

When she changed her pajamas, she let Cheng Ming press her legs with her eyes closed, listening to the sizzling sound of clothes rubbing together.

When she changed her pajama pants, she let Cheng Ming hold her body from behind, which made it unnecessary to close her eyes, and anyway, Sister Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t know if he was closed or not.

Uh-huh, it’s a little wet on the black lace chubby.
