What do you want in life

Chapter 36 Can the Oath of the Past Become Forever (15)
"I don't want to learn, is that okay? Anyway, if I fall into the water one day, you will save me!" Xiaoying raised her voice, picked up the book he was reading just now, and looked at the name, it turned out to be Master Xingyun For the commentary on the Buddhist scriptures, she teased him like he used to say to herself, "How do you think of reading such a book, you are so old-fashioned!"

Shen Juncheng is idle at home, and likes to visit nearby bookstores when he has nothing to do. Every time he comes back, he will bring a few books with him, so the collection of books in Xiaoying's residence is unknowingly enriched.

"People in the world, reading the explanations of Fangwairen, can inspire their own ideas."

"What is 'mortal fate'?" Xiaoying pretended to be puzzled, put her head close to him, and faced him at close range with a smile.

Shen Juncheng couldn't stop laughing, his eyes were full of tenderness, he lowered his head, and lightly pecked her lips, "You are my 'mortal relationship'."

Xiaoying lay down in his arms contentedly again, chewing on these words carefully, and after a long time, she asked: "If one day, I leave before you, will you go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk?"

"No." Shen Juncheng quickly interrupted her romantic reverie with words, his fingers were still gently stroking her soft earlobe, but he said: "I will look for another 'mortal relationship'."

Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and when she figured out the meaning of his words, she immediately turned over and wrestled with him, "Shen Juncheng, so you lied to me with sweet words!"

She lay on Shen Juncheng's body and scratched his itch vigorously, until he shouted "surrender" before letting go bitterly, but there was still a perplexed smile on the corner of her mouth.

In fact, her strength is so small, Shen Juncheng can turn defeat into victory with just a slight turning over, but as long as the two of them are playing, he always lets her and makes her the final winner, just to see her happy smile.

After enough trouble, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Little fool, I was just kidding with you just now."

Of course Xiaoying also knew, she put her head into his arms comfortably, it felt so good to have each other like this.

In the ear, Shen Juncheng whispered affectionately, "In this life, as long as I can be with you, I don't want anything."

The smile that bloomed on Xiaoying's lips became weaker. She had heard Shen Juncheng's oath for a lifetime more than once. She did not doubt his sincerity, but a lifetime was too long, and she always felt that she couldn't grasp it.

"No, not only this life, I want your next life to be mine too." Shen Juncheng didn't realize her pessimism, he circled her body domineeringly, stared at her, and asked her for the promise of the next life.

Xiaoying could only laugh, "Maybe I won't be a human again in my next life!"

"Then I have a way to find you." Shen Juncheng smiled, he was always so confident, "If you could choose, what would you like to do in your next life?"

Xiaoying thought for a while, "Well, I want to be a tree. I don't have to be displaced, and I can stay in one place for the rest of my life. Even if I encounter bad luck, I don't feel pain."

The unintentional longing in her tone made Shen Juncheng a little sad, but he didn't comfort her, and raised his eyebrows pretending to be relaxed, "That's it!"

Immediately, he stared at her with a smile and said, "Then I'll be an eagle. When I'm tired from flying, I can go to your place to have a rest."

"But we don't understand the language at all, how do you know which tree is me?" Xiaoying smiled and asked him a problem.

Shen Juncheng didn't answer her right away, he rubbed his hand slowly on her face for a while, and then said softly: "Fate will guide me, I will definitely find you, because God knows - how much I love you!"

Xiaoying was shocked by his words, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, maybe because she sensed the unpredictability of fate, maybe it was because of the firmness and persistence on Shen Juncheng's face at the moment, but, is there anything in this world that is Can it be preserved for a long time just by being full of enthusiasm?
Her feeling of desolation did not dissipate until the two fell into Yili's lingering relationship.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Juncheng gasped and kissed her in the fierce rhythm, muttering indistinctly, "I don't allow you to be distracted at a time like this..."

Xiaoying tried her best to shake off the haze in her mind, opened her arms, and embraced her passionate lover wholeheartedly.

On weekends, Xiaoying didn't have to go to work anymore, and the two went to the park.

As soon as I walked into the park, I saw a ragged old lady kneeling on the side of the road begging for pedestrians. She looked really sloppy, unkempt, and skinny, and everyone avoided her.

Shen Juncheng did not.He took all the change out of his pocket and went over to put it in her equally filthy enamel rice bowl.

When she turned back, she saw Xiaoying staring at her as if thinking.

"What if she's a liar?"

Shen Juncheng looked back at the old lady again, then shrugged, "I'd rather be cheated than miss the chance to help her—don't you think she's very pitiful?"

Xiaoying was speechless, and walked into the depths of the park with him.However, not long after, she suddenly hugged him tightly, which surprised Shen Juncheng, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xiaoying pressed her face against his chest. After a while, she raised her face again and smiled at him, "Suddenly found that you are a good person."

Shen Juncheng laughed.

It's already the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, and the park is so colorful and beautiful.While having a good time, Xiaoyu called suddenly, faltering, seeming to have something hard to say.

"Just tell me what's going on!" Xiaoying had never seen Xiaoyu twitching like this before, and felt strange in her heart.

"I, that, can I come to your place today to make do with one night? Sleeping on the sofa or laying a bed on the floor is fine!"

Xiaoying looked at Shen Juncheng, who was confused, and couldn't answer for a while, "What's wrong with you? Did you make something wrong again?"

"Of course not! Where are you going!" Xiaoyu retorted loudly, and then lowered her voice, "It's okay for you to be inconvenient, I'll think of another way."

"Wait!" Xiaoyu was anxious to hang up the phone, but Xiaoying quickly stopped him, "Come here. Let's talk about something later!"

In the evening, Xiaoyu really came to the door. Unable to withstand Xiaoying's repeated interrogation, he hesitated and told her the whole truth.

It turned out that the proprietress of a certain bar where he often went to sing was very interesting to him, and she hinted several times inside and outside the words. dare not return.

Shen Juncheng pursed his lips and laughed happily, "She likes you, what are you afraid of! At worst, just refuse her."

"It's not that simple!" Xiaoyu made a miserable expression, "I slipped out on the excuse of going to the bathroom, and at this moment she is mobilizing her subordinates to look for me all over the world! You don't know, the proprietress is very powerful, I have a violent temper and poisonous wrists, so I can only avoid her, if I really want to offend her, it will be nothing if I get chopped up someday!"

Xiaoying suddenly became worried, biting her lips and frowning, "Then you escape tonight, what will you do tomorrow?"

"Hey, one day counts as one day, and we can't think about tomorrow's affairs until tomorrow!" Xiaoyu's temper has been like this since he was a child.

Xiaoying pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. She asked Shen Juncheng privately. He was not as nervous as she was, and he comforted her with a smile, "It's no big deal. No matter how you say it, I'm a boss, so I don't want to do it for such a thing." Inspiring teachers and mobilizing people, I think it is true that Xiaoyu is embarrassed to refuse others, let him hide for a few days, and he will be fine when the limelight passes."

That night, Xiaoying gave up her bed to her younger brother, and she and Shen Juncheng slept on the sofa and on the floor in the living room. Xiaoyu felt very sorry, "You two should sleep on the bed, and pretend I don't exist!"

He spoke very naturally and fluently, but Xiaoying couldn't help blushing, and reprimanded in a concealed manner: "You can sleep wherever you are told, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Xiaoyu didn't care what happened to her sister's red face, she just secretly made a face at Shen Juncheng, "Brother Shen, did you see that, I told you many years ago that my sister is a powerful character, you must have seen it by now ?”

Shen Juncheng smiled but said nothing.

After sleeping on the sofa all night, Xiaoying only felt sore back and backache, and Shen Juncheng, who was laying on the floor, didn't feel much better. The two woke up early in the morning, staring at each other, speechless and choking, only wry smiles.

Xiaoying went into the room and shook her sleeping brother awake, "It's not an option for you to do this, otherwise, you would go back to your father or your mother and hide for two days!"

Xiaoyu turned over and muttered, "You want me to find them? I'd rather be hacked to death!"

"Then you don't have any good friends, can I give you a place to stay?"

Xiaoyu opened his eyes, feeling unbearably disturbed, "Oh, the proprietress basically knows those people, and their mouths are not firm, and they come out as soon as they ask a few words. How can I trust them?"

After Xiaoying made such a fuss, his drowsiness gradually faded away, and with his head resting on his arms, he discussed with his sister seriously, "Do you and Brother Shen have any special buddies who can let me stay for a few days? It is indeed a little small here, and it will be inconvenient for both of you once I live here."

He spoke quite frankly, but Xiaoying couldn't help but blushed again, and said with a tense face, "Then when are you going to hide?"

"Just wait until the proprietress finds a new target!" Xiaoyu said with a smile: "She comes and goes quickly. Not long ago, my buddy and I just dismantled it. There are more than 30 people. Emptiness, with such a slanted eye, you're aiming at me!"

"Xiaoyu, you'd better stop messing around in this circle, it's weird, come out and find a job, and have a regular schedule, it's not very good. I know you are playful, but after playing for so many years, you can't Are you tired?"

Xiaoyu sighed, "I want to too! But who wants me!"

"Look slowly, and you can always find it. What are you afraid of! Besides, you can go to school again. Your parents will not ignore you. If they know that you are willing to go back to school, they must be happy before it's too late! "

"Hey! Sister, please forgive me for studying. I am really afraid of reading. Maybe I can consider doing something else..."

While they were talking lively, Shen Juncheng walked in and asked with a smile, "How's the talk going?"

Xiaoying replied, "I'm looking for a place for him to hide for a while."

"I think of someone." Shen Juncheng said with a smile.

"Who?" Xiaoying and her siblings looked at him expectantly at the same time.

"Guo Jia."

"Guo Jia?" Xiaoying froze for a moment, it was indeed a good choice, but——

"But she's a girl!"

Xiaoyu also sat up straight, "The Guo Jia you mentioned, is it the one who went to the bar with you to find me last time?"

"It's her." Xiaoying glanced at her younger brother, "You still remember her! She really likes to hear you sing."

Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, but there was no expression on his face.

"Although Guo Jia is a girl," Shen Juncheng continued, "but she is very righteous. I think she will definitely help with this favor. Besides, she lives in the northern suburbs, and the place where Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu work happens to be on the diagonal , since you want to hide, of course you have to hide away."

"What do you think?" Xiaoying lost her mind and looked at Xiaoyu and asked him.

"It doesn't matter what I think, the key is what your colleague thinks." Xiaoyu said nonchalantly.

Half an hour later, after talking on the phone with Guo Jia, Xiaoying came back and Xiaoying said to Yu, "She agreed, you can move in tonight."

"Okay!" Xiaoyu was also quite straightforward, "Give me her address. Also, what time does she get off work, lest I go early and have to wait."

After writing the address, Xiaoying was a little worried after all, and told her younger brother, "Guo Jia is a nice person, but you can't mess around with them, you know? Otherwise, I won't even be friends with her in the future!"

"Don't worry!" Xiaoyu rolled up the note and stuffed it into his pocket, "Your colleague is so thick and thick, if she doesn't bully me, I will already be Amitabha!"

After eating dinner, Shen Juncheng was absent-minded. Seeing that Xiaoying hardly ate, he put a piece of fish in her bowl, and asked her casually, "What are you thinking about? You are distracted while eating."

"Tell me," Xiaoying frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart began to intensify, "Is it not good for me to push Xiaoyu towards Guo Jia?"

"No." Shen Juncheng replied calmly, "Their tempers should be compatible."

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes that made Xiaoying suspicious, "Why are you so sure? No matter how hearty Guo Jia is, she is still a girl after all, and Xiaoyu has a bad temper..."

"Don't worry about it, even if they can't be a couple, at least they can be buddies."

"Couple?" Xiaoying was choked by a mouthful of soup and burst into tears, "You said Xiaoyu and Guo Jia...are a couple? Thanks to you, Guo Jia is three years older than Xiaoyu!"

Shen Juncheng ate his meal honestly, and said with a smile: "As long as the two get along, age doesn't matter. Just trust me once, they will definitely get along, just wait and see."

Xiaoying was just worried that Xiaoyu would cause trouble for Guo Jia, but she was terrified when Shen Juncheng disturbed her, and suddenly she came to her senses, followed him and asked: "You guessed nonsense, right? Didn't you say that you are interested in love? Are you completely inexperienced?"

Shen Juncheng asked her back with great joy, "You will believe me when I say it so casually?"

"You lied to me again!" Xiaoying left her job and was about to get up and go to settle accounts with him.

Shen Juncheng laughed and blocked her "bullying" with his hands, surrendered her easily, patted her on the back and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, after dinner, I will confess all my past to you, always Can you forgive me?"

Xiaoying returned to her seat resentfully and continued to eat, muttering: "I'm not bored enough to be interested in your absurd love history!"

Shen Juncheng suppressed a smile and took a peek at her, knowing that even though she said that, she must be feeling sour in her heart, so he graciously refilled her a bowl of soup, and took the opportunity to find some other gossip to distract her from her thoughts.

After all, she was worried, so before going to bed, Xiaoying called her younger brother.

She had just started when Xiaoyu's relaxed words came from the receiver, "We're fine. I invited your colleague out for a meal and I just came back. But she can't drink, she seems drunk ,Ha ha!"

"Ah?" Xiaoying was taken aback, "Xiaoyu, don't mess around! Guo Jia doesn't drink very well, so don't force her..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia yelled from the receiver, "Xiaoying, you, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm not drunk at all, I, I can still... drink!" The tongue obviously grew several times lock up.

Xiaoying wanted to ask a few more questions, but she hung up on someone, leaving only short beeps in her ears.She put down her phone helplessly, only to see Shen Juncheng lying on the bed with his head on his hands and giggling at herself.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiaoying frowned and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Why do I always feel that this matter is a bit too..." She really regretted that she "kicked" Xiaoyu out out of selfishness, this is not clear Does she favor one another?

Shen Juncheng sat up and pulled her into his arms, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu is not a child, I think he has more experience in dealing with people than you! And Guo Jia, do you think she Is your skill in dealing with people not as good as yours?"

Xiaoying glanced at him, then thought about it carefully, and then she had nothing to say.

In the middle of the night, Guo Jia woke up suddenly, refreshed.She moved her body and wanted to get out of bed to pour herself a glass of water, and then she got up, the back of her head hurt like a hammer.

Walking into the living room in the dark, she tripped over a pile of soft things, her feet were unsteady, and she fell down immediately, just on the back of Xiaoyu who was sleeping on the ground.

"Wow, it hurts so much!" Xiaoyu had already fallen asleep, and was suddenly pushed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and woke up suddenly.

"Hey! There is a sofa, why are you lying on the ground?" Guo Jia got up with a red face, and through the moonlight, he could clearly see Xiaoyu's body wearing only a vest and shorts.

Without the cover of the clothes, Guo Jia discovered that he was not thin at all, and his muscles seemed to be hidden, and now they glowed scorchingly and elastically.

"The sofa is too narrow, it will fall to the ground accidentally, it's uncomfortable." Xiaoyu muttered as he got up and looked at her, "Are you sober?"

"I'm not drunk at all!" Guo Jia bit his tongue tightly, turned around and entered the kitchen.

Xiaoyu smiled and didn't argue with her. After such a toss, his drowsiness disappeared immediately.

Not long after, Guo Jia came out of the kitchen, brought two glasses of water, and handed him one.

"Thank you!"

The moonlight was very good, and the two of them sat on the floor under the bright silver light without turning on the lights.

"Ask you a question." Guo Jia raised his chin at him, "We met for the first time, why didn't you want to shake my hand?"

She thought about this question for a long time, and finally attributed it to Han Xiaoyu being an arrogant guy.But getting along tonight changed her impression of him greatly. Leaving aside the differences in gender and age between the two, she was surprised to find that they hit it off quite well!

Xiaoyu lowered his head and smiled and said, "I'm different from you. People living in two circles, it's better not to have any intersections, so as not to cause trouble for you in the future. It's my sister, and it's also when I go to find her. No, I don't want her to have anything to do with my affairs."

Guo Jia nodded emphatically, "I dare you to think about us."

"It's good that you understand." Xiaoyu also laughed.

"You sing so well," Guo Jia said again, "Have you considered participating in auditions for some singing performances in the past? You have good qualifications. If you're lucky, you might become famous."

Xiaoyu shook his head, "Those need to be praised. I'm not used to being led by the nose, so forget it."

"That's right." Guo Jia grinned, "You don't want to wrong yourself even if the proprietress sees you, let alone get involved in that circle. Hey, you..." She squinted her eyes half curiously and half jokingly and asked: "You hate that proprietress so much? Could it be that she looks ugly?"

"Of course not." Xiaoyu glanced at her sideways, and suddenly laughed again, "She was born as a wine hostess, and her appearance can't be different. Although she is a bit older now, she still has her charm!"

Guo Jia sized him up and down while listening, "I hear what you mean, you shouldn't be disgusted with her! Then why..."

"She's better off with my buddies." Xiaoyu cut her off and said, "My friend's wife, don't be bullied, and you must be principled!"

Guo Jia's staring eyes narrowed immediately, and she laughed and said, "Yes!" She raised the water glass in her hand, "Come on, for the sake of principle, let's have a drink!"

The two cups leaned against each other, and the water in the cups became more crystal clear under the washing of the moonlight.

In the evening, Shen Juncheng came out of the supermarket with a bag of ingredients, and walked towards his residence on foot. He came out of Shen's house cleanly, without even driving the car, and handed it over to Cao Wenyu intact.

When he was about to enter the gate of the community, he suddenly heard a soft and gentle voice calling him from behind, "Juncheng!"

Shen Juncheng turned his head and saw his aunt Wu Xiaofen walking towards him.

"Auntie!" Shen Juncheng stopped in his tracks, and also called her, feeling a little embarrassed for some reason, his aunt must have known about him running away from home.
