Chapter 3019 Shen Tianyu 419

Shi Shi smiled, her eyes red, "I'll help you."

She walked up to him, leaned her shoulders, and put his arm over her shoulder.

Looking down at her thin frame, Gu Chufan said, "I can walk by myself. You seem more like a patient than I am."

Shi Shi smiled and said, "Starting today, I will get better and I will gradually gain weight."

She helped him into the study.

Gu Chufan opened the safe, which contained important documents, contracts, various property certificates, and shareholding certificates, among other things.

He searched everywhere but couldn't find the confession ring he had prepared four years ago.

He was momentarily dazed.

He remembered buying it.

He personally went to the mall to pick them out. They were two plain platinum bands, one large and one small. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy a diamond ring, but he felt that plain bands were more suitable for young people, especially for Shi Shi who had just graduated from school, while diamond rings were more suitable for married women like his mother.

He even asked the sales assistant if he could have his name engraved on it.

The sales assistant said that the engraving of a name should be kept within two centimeters, and if you want to engrave your full name, it is best to use the first letter.

He originally wanted to engrave F&S, but it looked like an abbreviation of "annoying", so he changed it to Sail & Poetry.

He went to the desk to look for it, opened the drawers, and searched through all of them, but he still couldn't find it.

He sat down in his chair dejectedly, looking apologetic, and said to Shi Shi, "I'm sorry, I drank heavily for a while, which may have damaged my brain and made my memory worse."

Shi Shi placed her fingers on his temples and gently pressed the acupoints with her fingertips, whispering, "It's okay, if we can't find it, we won't look for it. The ring is just a formality, it's not important."

She leaned down and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "As long as you stay by my side and don't leave, that's enough."

Gu Chufan looked up and smiled slightly at her, "You don't have to leave either. Neither of us is allowed to leave."

Shi Shi's eyes welled up with tears.

I want to cry again.

Xiao Xiao mocked her, insulted her, and even accidentally hit her, but she didn't feel the slightest urge to cry.

But just a few words from Gu Chufan were enough to make her want to cry.

People are ultimately different.

Love and not love are obvious and cannot be faked.

After the meal, Shi Shi was escorted home by her driver.

Gu Chufan, leaning on his cane, continued searching for the ring he had prepared four years ago.

With his wealth, he could easily afford not only two plain platinum bracelets, but also the most expensive gemstones.

But he persisted in his search, looking in every room.

He stubbornly believes that only by finding the ring from four years ago can they truly return to the past.

He searched his study, his bedroom, his walk-in closet, and even his private gym, movie room, coffee shop, and lounge on the basement floor, but still couldn't find the ring.

Sitting alone in the movie theater, his mind became muddled again.

Staring at the huge movie screen, he thought dejectedly, "Could my memory be playing tricks on me?"

My head started hurting again.

He raised his hand and pressed it against one side of his forehead.

After a long silence, he decided to give up.

He picked up his phone, intending to ask his assistant to order two more plain rings for him. He dialed his assistant's number, then backed out.

You should go and choose for yourself.

He still remembers the joyful feeling of his youth. Four years ago, he wanted to give Shi Shi a surprise, but now his heart is no longer as joyful as it was back then. Instead, he feels more like making amends and apologizing.

That carefree infatuation of youth has long since become heavy.

Liking something is bright, simple, youthful, and naive.

Mixed with guilt and heavy emotions, it becomes complicated. Perhaps that's just how people are. Some things need time to settle, some experiences to happen, and some mutual debts to be settled before that bright, simple, and naive liking can be compressed into a heavy love.

He turned on the stereo, wanting to listen to some music.

A man's magnetic, melancholic voice rang out from the speakers: "The wind blows, leaves fall, you walk further and further away, and gradually, my heart finally shattered in this autumn. You said goodbye and disappeared into the crowd, you didn't even appear in my dreams..."

He was momentarily stunned.

This movie room is exclusively his.

Is this a song he often listens to?

He recalled those silent, conflicted days when he often used watching movies as an excuse to drink alone in this movie theater, one glass after another.

This song is probably one he often listens to when he's drunk.

However, he no longer remembers his true emotions when he was drunk.

When you're drunk, your memory is fragmented.

The phone suddenly rang.

The crisp sound of bells seemed particularly out of place in this melancholy song.

He paused the song.

The call was from Shen Tianyu.

Gu Chufan pressed the answer button, switched to a cheerful voice, and called out, "Brother Tianyu, you were looking for me?"

Shen Tianyu said, "Pond."

Gu Chufan misheard it as "sugar".

He asked, puzzled, "Brother, do you want some candy? What flavor and brand do you want? I'll have someone buy it right away."

Shen Tianyu added a word, "lotus pond".

"Lotus pond?"

Shen Tianyu hung up the phone.

Gu Chufan looked down at his phone.

For a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had searched high and low for the ring in every room, upstairs and downstairs for most of the day. The servants in the house had all seen it, and Shen Tianyu in the detached villa in the distance must have seen it too.

Is he telling him that his ring is in the lotus pond?

Gu Chufan chuckled to himself.

This cousin is truly an amazing cousin; he's just too taciturn and sparing with words.

He couldn't remember why the ring had been thrown into the lotus pond.

Perhaps he threw it down one night when he was drunk, or perhaps he threw it down while drunk, in order to make up his mind to forget Shi Shi.

It was definitely something he did while drunk.

He took the elevator upstairs with his cane, went outside, and came to the lotus pond.

In the warm spring weather, the tender lotus leaves are just beginning to emerge.

The pond is quite deep; if you want to find it, you'll have to go down and feel around, or drain the water.

He put down his crutches, began to take off his clothes, and tried to move his legs. With casts on, he obviously couldn't swim, which was a problem.

My phone pinged; a message had arrived.

Gu Chufan opened the message.

It was sent by Shen Tianyu: Ten meters ahead of where you are standing, you're stuck in a pit.

Gu Chufan thought to himself, "This is no divine cousin."

He was a godsend.

The cast has been in place for eight weeks and can be removed.

He had his bodyguard take him to the hospital overnight to have his cast removed.

Gu Yifeng and Gu Qianyun felt sorry for their son, so they went with him.

Gu Yifeng said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry. Dad will help you look for it after it gets light tomorrow."

Gu Chufan shook his head. "No, this time I want to find it myself."

He didn't want to remain inactive any longer.

We must always give something for those who have lost something and then regained it.

After removing the plaster cast overnight, Gu Chufan returned to the villa and arrived at the lotus pond. He then had a servant bring him a swimming ring.

He took off his shoes and jumped into the lotus pond, using a swimming ring to swim more than ten meters away.

Wearing goggles, he took a deep breath and dived into the lotus pond.

Sure enough, there was a stone pit there.

Using the light of a waterproof flashlight, he finally found a jewelry box covered in mud. It was so dirty that its original appearance was no longer visible, and the cloth covering the box was also tattered.

Swimming ashore, he carefully opened the rotten jewelry box.

Inside, a pair of plain rings were clearly visible.

Eroded by water, the plain ring has lost its original luster.

Gu Chufan, soaking wet, clutched two plain rings, his eyes reddening, the water from his hair splashing into his eyes like tears.

Although it is already warm spring, the water in the lotus pond is still cold, and people feel cold.

His fingers trembled slightly as he gripped the ring tightly.

He thought, thankfully they're still here.

Fortunately, she is still alive.

fortunately.
