63 Chapter 63

◎Lost◎

The umbrella was still returned, but I was still in a daze when filling in the address. Some things were already familiar to me, so I just started writing, and I was already writing what follows.

Fill in the number and mail it.

In the hospital, Chen Jing'an saw Shen Xiaocheng again.

Shen Xiaocheng and Zhou Zhengqing have been friends for many years. It is normal for him to come to visit. They have been here several times, but this is the only time they met.

He pushed the door open and came in. When he saw the master and apprentice playing chess in the ward, he smiled: "I was worried that you would be bored alone, so I would come over to relieve your boredom when I had time. Now it seems that I am being too sentimental. You have your students." I'm accompanying you."

The last time we met, it was insinuating and not very pleasant.

This time it was a bit embarrassing. Chen Jing'an stood up first to give up his seat and greeted Shen Xiaocheng: "Uncle Shen."

"Hello."

"I'm not good at chess. Accompanying the teacher is just for fun. If you come, the teacher can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ." Chen Jing'an had a smile on his lips, and he was generous, and the previous things seemed to have faded away.

Zhou Zhengqing hugged the quilt and sat upright: "Why didn't you say anything before you came?"

"Why, with your sick body, can the doctors and nurses let you run out?" Shen Xiaocheng stepped in.

Chen Jing'an poured the water and prepared to leave first and come back in the evening.

Shen Xiaocheng stopped her and said, "I have something to do today. I just came over to take a look. You don't have to avoid it."

"Okay."

Chen Jingan sat down on the sofa by the window.

Ten minutes later, Shen Xiaocheng stood up to leave. After asking Zhou Zhengqing to stop being so strong and take good care of his body, his eyes fell on Chen Jing'an: "Miss Chen, can I say a few words to you?" "

Shen Xiaocheng, Don't..." Zhou Zhengqing frowned, his breath quickening.

"Don't worry, I won't eat her. With you protecting me, how can I dare to move?" Shen Xiaocheng interrupted him.

Chen Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Teacher, it's okay."

"They're over now, don't go too far, otherwise it will be difficult to be friends this time." Zhou Zhengqing was still worried and said a few more words.

Shen Xiaocheng smiled at Chen Jing'an: "Look, in order to protect you, your master stopped being friends with me for many years."

Zhou Zhengqing said with a straight face: "We agreed to only speak a few words, five minutes at most.

"Don't worry." Chen

Jing'an and Shen Xiaocheng went out one after another. In the corridor, Shen Xiaocheng slowed down and looked at her: "I actually came to apologize to you. What I said at that time was not personal. You, you are a very good girl."

"It doesn't matter, that's true."

Shen Xiaocheng looked at her again and said, "It doesn't matter. He said something incomprehensible when we first met. Tell me, I'm still sorry. It's our Shen family who didn't teach us well."

"..."

"We are all old. It is your time now. Teacher and I, we should have retired a long time ago. It's your business. It's up to you to decide."

"Uncle Shen, I have broken up with him."

Chen Jing'an said softly, "It is also our fault and has nothing to do with you."

"Okay, since we have broken up, we will not talk about these things. "

Having reached the elevator, Shen Xiaocheng said again: "Now that everything has been said, I am your teacher's friend, and I really cherish talents. I have collected some ancient records over the years, and some of them were copied and preserved by later generations. , some pages are damaged, and they are all unique copies. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."

Chen Jing'an's eyes lit up, this was indeed very attractive to her, she hesitated, but couldn't help but ask. "Is it really possible?"

"Of course, there are some books that your teacher has never read. If you are interested, you can copy them. If you can repair half of them, it will also fulfill my wish."

Shen Xiaocheng said Then, follow your address and send the contact number along with it.

"Come here and contact her. Her surname is Wang. She's our aunt."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Jing'an went over anyway.

Before going over, I contacted Aunt Wang in advance. Shen Xiaocheng may have mentioned it. There was an enthusiastic response from the other side of the phone: "I heard Mr. Shen said you were coming, and I have been holding on to the time. After waiting for you for many days, you are finally here." Here we come."

After making an appointment on the phone, Chen Jing'an came on time.

Aunt Wang was as enthusiastic as on the phone, and took her to the library with a bright smile.

The last time I came here, Chen Jing'an didn't come in. He just walked around the opposite garden accompanied by Shen Jin. Now that he actually came in, he realized that it was no smaller than the garden. The nine-winding corridor was dazzling.

Aunt Wang said: "Mr. Shen has told Miss Chen that if you are interested, you can browse at will. However, some ancient records must be properly preserved and cannot be borrowed. Therefore, you can stay as many times as you want."

"Thank you . You."

As he spoke, he was already taken to the library.

Chen Jing'an was a little stunned.

The single library is like a small library. The large bookshelf that is taller than a person is full of books. Some unique collections are kept separately. Aunt Wang led Chen Jing'an to the ancient genealogy bookshelf.

"Then my mission is completed, Miss Chen. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, please excuse me."

Chen Jing'an had just arrived. She couldn't hide her curiosity and browsed through the bookshelf. There were several music scores that were said to be there. It was lost during the changes of dynasties. I didn't expect to see it here that was rewritten by later generations. It is more than two hundred years ago. The handwriting is mottled and it is difficult to read it.

Her mind was racing, and she didn't expect to have the opportunity to see this. She took out a pen and paper and copied while reading. When her neck was sore and she raised her head to feel relieved, she noticed that it was completely dark outside. She looked at her phone again and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. point.

I've been here for five or six hours, and it's time to leave anyway.

Chen Jing'an packed up his things and put the books back intact, making sure they were not damaged at all before coming out of the library.

She tried to go back the way she came, but the place was too big and the visibility was not good at night. She looked left and right but couldn't see any reference objects. She just walked on for a while before accepting the fact that she was lost.

Chen Jing'an called Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was probably busy and the call was not answered.

There was no other way. Before Aunt Wang called her back, she could only try to find her way back.

After a few minutes of tossing, I'm still banging around like a headless chicken.

Chen Jing'an called again, but still no one answered.

She sighed, and now she had reached the fork again. Left or right was a question. After hesitating for a while, she decided to follow her heart and choose the right.

The further they went, the darker it became, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She once again took the wrong path, and then she began to panic, as if she really couldn't get out and would keep spinning around.

Turning around, the light above his head suddenly turned on, illuminating the corridor clearly.

Chen Jing'an's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, any movement could startle her. There were many random thoughts in her mind, but only for a moment, because soon, someone walked into the light from the shadows. It was An extremely familiar look.

Shen Lie's eyes were wide and deep, and his expression was cold: "Are you lost?"

In fact, he had seen her earlier and watched her looking for a way out. If she could find it, there would be no need for him to do anything, until She took the wrong path and walked further in. He couldn't stop her directly. It was so late and any sound could scare her. After thinking about it, he finally had no choice but to turn on the light to warn her.

After her racing heart calmed down, Chen Jing'an pursed her lips and nodded, "I forgot the way back."

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Follow me?"

Shen Lie always kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close, neither too close to make her feel offended, nor too far to make her feel too alienated. Just the right distance from my ex.

"Okay."

"Thank you."

Chen Jing'an nodded.

"You can follow me."

The two people walked in tandem, Shen Lie's back was broad, and Chen Jing'an lowered his eyes, leaving only his light, and followed his steps step by step.

No one spoke at first, and silence ensued.

Or, thinking about something to say, just thinking about how to start.

Shen Lie was the first to speak.

He asked: "Why didn't you ask Aunt Wang to take you out?"

"I thought I could find it back at first. After I got lost, I called Aunt Wang but no one answered. She might be busy."

"Well, you got lost very much the first time you came here . It's normal. I've been lost before and been searched for for a long time. "

..."

Chen Jing'an explained, "Because Uncle Shen said he has a lot of ancient records. I... came to take a look.

"

"..."

The further forward, the brighter it becomes.

Aunt Wang heard the commotion and came out. She learned that Chen Jing'an was lost inside. She called herself twice but didn't receive any calls. She was extremely sorry and said: "I'm really sorry. I was just making soup and was in the kitchen and didn't have time to check my phone. I didn't hear the call."

"It's okay."

"How are you doing?" Aunt Wang asked with a smile.

"There are too many, I haven't finished reading."

"Then continue reading and come here often. I've already cooked, but Mr. Shen won't come back tonight, so why not leave after dinner?" Aunt Wang invited Shen Lie warmly and asked : "Mr. Shen didn't eat either, so let's have some together."

Chen Jing'an subconsciously refused: "No, Aunt Wang, I'm not hungry."

"Aunt Wang, if you ask me a few more questions, I won't dare to come next time." Shen Lie took over the words at the right time, "It's getting late, she should go back."

"Yes, come and play again next time." Aunt Wang held her hand tightly.

Shen Lie sent Chen Jing'an out.

The online car-hailing car was still a few kilometers away from here. She put down her phone and told Shen Lie that the car would be there in a minute. She thanked him for today's business.

Shen Lie's tone was straight: "You don't have to thank me. It was my second uncle who asked me to come here today."

Chen Jing'an also guessed that there was no chance of such a coincidence.

"He probably feels that he has some responsibility for what he said last time, so he came up with this method." Shen Lie paused, "I have made it clear to my second uncle, don't worry, he will not do such a thing again in the future. You Come on, don't worry about me."

"It doesn't matter, just make it clear." Chen Jing'an raised his head and said, "As you said, we are all in the same city.

We meet people all the time.

Even meeting each other is normal.

Shen Lie's eyes moved slightly and he said yes.
