At the end of November, Shen Wu joined Building No.6 through the Floor Battle with an extrely fast speed and beca a top-tier mber. However, no matter how excellent Shen Wu was, he could not beco the owner of Building No.6.
According to what Aipleil revealed, the function of Building No.6 was too special that the owner must be soone controllable by the prison.
In other words, Shen Wu could not be fully controlled by the prison, so the prison would not hand Building No.6 to him. At best, he could only be a capable thug.
From the information obtained, Shen Wu had spent almost all the inco he obtained in prison to hire bodyguards for Shen Jize. Even so, Shen Jize was still successfully assassinated in Building No.1 once.
As Shen Wu was on high alert, Shen Jize luckily did not suffer fatal injuries that ti.
Unfortunately, good luck would not last forever. At the end of December, Shen Jize still died due to excessive blood loss.
For people as extrely vulnerable as Shen Jize, who had neither self-protection ans nor the shelter of major forces, they would only die faster in Flightless Bird than outside.
It was the wrong choice for Shen Wu to bring Shen Jize into Flightless Bird.
Shen Yue had always been an onlooker. She neither stomped on them nor gave them a hand.
It was only after she heard that Shen Wu had been removed from Building No.6 for attempting to take surgical knives out of Building No.6 several tis that she sent Shen Wu a new knife through soone.
Two people died that night.
Shen Wu also never showed up again.
As expected, Shen Yue was put in solitary confinent for 15 days for sending dangerous tools to other inmates. It was Si Chengyou who got her out.
Soon, the Chinese New Year’s Eve ca again.
After having dumplings with the people from Building No.7, Shen Yue still took so food specially left to Building No.5 with her.
36th floor of Building No.5, as dark as it was a year ago. But this ti, Shen Yue did not intentionally sneak up quietly like before. Instead, she turned on all the lights to tell Si Chengyou that she had co.
She took the food to Si Chengyou’s bedroom. Sure enough, Si Chengyou was drinking by the window again, but he did not cry and there was no sll of blood in the room.
It could be said that Shen Yue had not slled the sll of blood from Si Chengyou for a long ti. The last ti she made a surprise check on Si Chengyou's hands, she did not see any new scars either.
Si Chengyou did keep his promise that after she returned from the front line, he never hurt himself again.
"Si Chengyou, why aren't you crying today?" Shen Yue asked on purpose.
In fact, she knew that Si Chengyou would never cry on ordinary days. He also disguised himself very well. Except for crying once on the last Chinese New Year’s Eve, he had always been extrely strong at other tis, which could only make people look up to him.
Sotis, even if Shen Yue deliberately embarrassed him in front of others, he could round it back imdiately with extrely strong psychological endurance.
If Shen Yue did not have a down-to-earth confidence in her mory, she might even think that the Si Chengyou she saw that day was just an illusion.
Hearing Shen Yue’s words, Si Chengyou turned his head to look at her. The alcohol made Si Chengyou's face flushed, adding a touch of charm to his already handso face.
"I guessed you would co, so I endured it deliberately."
He endured without crying?
While Shen Yue thought this way, she put the food on the table. In addition to so dumplings, there was also a bowl of soup. "Do you want to eat sothing?"
Si Chengyou shook his head. "I've been wondering when you'd ask. It turned out to be today. It's indeed a day you would choose."
Shen Yue pulled over a stool and sat right in front of Si Chengyou as a matter of course. She continued the conversation naturally. "People's psychological defenses beco weaker after 10 pm at night. This is what you told . And today, you must be drinking. If not today, then when?"
Hearing Shen Yue's analysis, Si Chengyou smiled. "You did rember everything I told you and used it on ."
Si Chengyou was generous. He was not dissatisfied at all that Shen Yue had sched against him.
"Now that you knew I was coming, it's ti for you to fulfill the agreent." When Shen Yue agreed to Si Chengyou’s task of going to the battlefield, they agreed that as long as she ca back, Si Chengyou would have to tell her why he wanted to be a hero.
But Shen Yue did not ntion it after she ca back, and Si Chengyou did not take the initiative to say it either.
Si Chengyou knew what Shen Yue was waiting for. He also knew that with Shen Yue's current capabilities, she would subconsciously doubt everything. This had beco her instinct. So he was also waiting for this mont, waiting for a ti when Shen Yue was willing to believe in him, waiting for a ti when Shen Yue could completely control him, to tell the truth.
The ti he had been waiting for was right now.
"I liked the stories of heroes ever since I was a child, whether it was a personal hero or heroes of many people. I liked them all."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yue interrupted Si Chengyou. She took lon seeds from her pocket, got into position, then said, "Go on."
Si Chengyou was not angry about being interrupted. His eyes softened for a mont. "You’re much more spirited now than when we first t."
Without waiting for Shen Yue to reply, Si Chengyou changed his tone and continued talking about the past. "My family has been in the military for generations. But laughably, when it ca to , I didn’t even have the courage to join the army.
My father always said that soldiers must keep the conviction of death at all tis to guard the land behind them and the people living on this land. But I couldn't help thinking, what about my life? If I died, wouldn't my family be sad?
I was too afraid.
Luckily, my elder brother took the pressure for and let do what I wanted freely.
I also have an elder sister. She loved the culture handed down from our ancestors very much. All the novel things I taught you were originally taught to by my sister. She was a very gentle woman."
When Si Chengyou talked about this, an expression that had never appeared before appeared on his face, which made Shen Yue see the boy who was protected by his family and afraid to go to the battlefield.
"But after one thing appeared, our lives changed.
Ti and space travel, every country fought desperately for these four words, let alone Xia Country where the wind first ca out.
In order to resist the Alliance Army of Nine Countries, my father and elder brother died on the battlefield. My sister, who had been so weak all the ti, did not escape when the enemy ca. She said she would live and die with the land beneath her feet.
I was the only one who escaped. I was also the only one who survived.
I was saved by my father's last comrade in arms. He gave sothing that looked ordinary, even only the size of a rice grain. It was a crystal." When Si Chengyou said this, he looked at Shen Yue's heart and pulled out a smile that did not look good. "That's the dium that can travel through ti and space."
"I learned from him my father's last words: Go back to the past and destroy the dium of ti and space... Be sure to complete the mission."
After hearing this, Shen Yue had put down the lon seeds in her hand and looked at Si Chengyou without any smile in her eyes. "What you want is now in my heart."
