I am Feng Jun

Chapter 240 240. Sunset
Shen Nanzhu received the message in the evening.

When she hurriedly felt the Yufu, she saw such a scene.

That white figure was leaning against the elm tree, facing the direction of the sunset, the corners of the lips were tightly pursed, almost stretched into a straight line, slightly whitened, and the flickering of the light and shadow made the sadness on that person more and more perfect. .

Shen Nanzhu stopped subconsciously, her thoughts drifted back to 16 years ago, as if traveling through time and space, the scene in front of her and the scene in her memory overlapped and mirrored each other.

In the Yinjiang Courtyard, the figure under the sycamore tree was as lonely and desolate as it is now, as if waiting for someone who could not return.

Shen Ci under the tree suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the red sun that had mostly sunk under the eaves, and gave a cold snort like self-deprecating.

Shen Nanzhu suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes hurt, and he strode over with a trembling voice, "Aci."

A sneer appeared on Shen Ci's tightly pursed lips, his eyes drooped, and he gradually laughed out loud, but he remained silent.

Shen Nanzhu was even more startled when she saw it, "A Ci, don't scare my sister!"

Shen Ci clasped Shen Ci's shoulders with both hands and shook them lightly a few times.

Shen Ci pulled out his embraced hands, brushed off Shen Nanzhu's hands, and he straightened up while leaning against the tree trunk.

Through the half of the mask, Shen Nanzhu saw his flat, emotionless black pupils, and her heart ached.

Shen Ci raised his eyes for the last time, and saw with his own eyes that the round of red light completely submerged under the eaves and disappeared from his sight. The smile on his lips disappeared quickly, replaced by endless desolation.

"Sunset"

"It's been a day."

"That's the only day left."

Shen Ci said something quietly.

He was clearly dressed in white, but there was darkness everywhere, Shen Ci ignored anyone, and only strode towards the outside of Yufu at the sunset.

The boy's voice, which was supposed to be clear and clear, was a little shy, floating in the afterglow of the setting sun.

From sunrise to sunset, he waited for this day, but he only waited for this day.

Now that you've left without saying goodbye--
Then just disappear into the world of Grandpa!
Shen Ci strode out of the Yu Mansion, all the way back to the Broken Star Pavilion, Duan Muming stood with Shen Ci for a day without asking why, seeing Shen Ci leaving, he only nodded to Shen Nanzhu slightly, and then followed Shen Ci go together.

He followed all the way to the small attic of Broken Star Pavilion, but he didn't ask why.

Shen Ci stopped half a step in front of the door, and a fleeting indifferent smile flashed across his face as he hadn't said a word all the way, with a self-deprecating expression on his face.

"Duanmuming, was Jiang Ni the same as today's master, foolishly thinking that she would come back?"

Duanmuming was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand for a while, but the name Jiang Ni made his body tremble slightly.

After Shen Ci entered the room and closed the door, Duanmu Ming realized the meaning of Shen Ci's words.

Did the landlord wait for Shen Yinchu like this back then?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Ming's heart suddenly contracted, as if being grabbed by someone.

Was his landlord, like the young landlord of today, waiting under the tree for a day?

No, more than one day.

One day, ten days, one month, one season, one year.
What he was waiting for was much more than Shen Ci.
So lonely, lonely, and sad, Shen Ci only gave himself one day.

Jiang Ni, on the other hand, put his whole life into it.

Shen Nanzhu worriedly followed Shen Ci all the way out of Yufu, and followed not far behind Shen Ci, watching the tall and handsome figure striding away in the market.

Even the bustling market couldn't hide the loneliness of his back, Shen Nanzhu didn't dare to approach, but followed from a distance, all the way back to Suixing Pavilion, stood downstairs and watched Shen Ci enter the room.

I also heard the last sentence Shen Ci said before entering,

Shen Nanzhu's eyes trembled slightly, he was a little unsteady on his feet, he took two steps back, it was Bei Lu who supported him, and was able to stabilize his figure.

Shen Nanzhu's eyes were bleak, and she couldn't help but recall,

That's right, isn't that what Jiang Ni was waiting for back then?
Shen Nanzhu couldn't help but feel a little scared, afraid that Ah Ci would be like him, and continued to wait and wait without giving up.

Even if it was sunset, he could continue to wait from the next day's sunrise.

Day after day, even after waiting for her to come back, she was no longer the person she was before.

But Shen Nanzhu's worry was a little superfluous.

Shen Ci is different from Jiang Ni.

Now that the sun has set, it has set in his heart.

There is never room to rise.

The Yu Mansion on Xingyang Street was just that empty, and Shen Ci never set foot again, and he was never as lonely as that day.

But the next day, he returned to his previous appearance.

It was as if Yu Xiaoyao had never appeared in his life.

Shen Nanzhu has always been uneasy. Although he has a lot of things on his hands, he still comes to Shen Ci every day to check it out.

However, Shen Ci had no time to continue to be sad, so he sent Duan Muming to buy a large amount of green vitriol, and began to concentrate on making sulfuric acid under the influence of analysis.

After seven days, when Shen Nanzhu saw Shen Ci showing a flamboyant smile at the bottle of transparent unknown liquid, she was completely relieved.

It seems that Ah Ci will not repeat the mistakes of Jiang Ni again.

"A Ci, let's go back to Beijing tomorrow." Shen Nanzhu came to Shen Ci's room on this day and discussed with him.

Most of the tea tour has been resolved, the notes that need to be written have been written and sent up, the evidence that needs to be collected has also been collected, and the fish that need to be caught have all been caught.

Now I'm waiting for the Queen's ruling to rectify it.

And these only need Tang Shu to deal with the aftermath.

"it is good."

To Shen Nanzhu's surprise, Shen Ci agreed without any hesitation, making her swallow all the words she had prepared to say.

Shen Nanzhu's mouth was about to say something but he finally swallowed it, it was a bit funny, Shen Ci curled up the corners of his lips.

"What, is it a surprise?"

Shen Nanzhu nodded, "Yeah, originally I thought that I would have to persuade you hard before I would go back."

Shen Ci moved his hair, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say it before, it doesn't matter where you go."

When he returned to the imperial capital, he could just go to Miao Miao's to get some money back, and then he was ready to continue going out.

The sulfuric acid is done, and the next step is nitric acid.

Shen Nanzhu seemed not expecting Shen Ci to be so casual, so she smiled.

"Ah Ci, you should actually be recuperating in Zhuangzi now!" It can be said that he picked him up from Zhuangzi on the way back this time, to be fair.

Shen Ci didn't care much about this, "Others can say whatever they want, and you need to bother to suppress those rumors?"

Shen Ci would never do such a labor-intensive thing.
