When Shen Yue saw this ssage, she was not surprised at all.
She had gone to find Si Chengyou precisely because she knew Si Chengyou would definitely be able to get it done; he was also the only one who could get it done.
However, there was sothing off about Si Chengyou's reply. Based on their eting that day, Shen Yue believed Si Chengyou was still cautious towards her, but now...
The four characters "fortunate not to disgrace myself" clearly conveyed a sense of relief, and also felt more intimate.
Sothing must have changed with Si Chengyou.
Shen Yue couldn't fully determine yet. She decided to draw out more information, so she started typing on her phone.
"[It is] my honor."
Si Chengyou replied very quickly, but he just talked about himself and did not comnt on Shen Yue’s reply.
"These two have not been convicted yet. When there is a final conclusion on the matter, I will contact you again."
This ti, Si Chengyou got straight to the point without beating around the bush. What could have happened to make Si Chengyou suddenly change his attitude?
There was only one truth!
Shen Hui sat next to Shen Yue and saw Shen Yue's eyes light up, as if she had suddenly beco smarter. She picked up her phone and started tapping away.
"Did you rember sothing else?"
As soon as Shen Yue sent the ssage, she put her hands on her forehead. Next to her was Shen Hui's puzzled voice, "No fever."
Shen Yue looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Hui saw the driver in front and deliberately took out her phone to play music at full volu. Then she leaned over to Shen Yue's ear and whispered, "You usually hide it very well, but your scheming look ca out just now. I thought you weren't feeling well."
After Shen Hui finished speaking, her finger tapped the phone to turn off the music. But soon the sound of one horn blast after another ca from outside the car, even noisier than before.
So Shen Yue also leaned over to Shen Hui’s ear and said, "Rember to remind next ti if you notice it again."
Shen Hui nodded. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Yue's words. It was as casual as discussing what to eat today. "Okay."
Shen Hui looked at the ti after speaking, then observed the traffic conditions. She said to Shen Yue, "You didn't sleep well last night. You can still sleep for half an hour now."
Shen Yue was puzzled. "How did you know I didn't sleep well?"
Shen Hui: ......
"I heard you talk in your sleep."
Shen Yue blinked, not exposing Shen Hui's lie. She just pulled a pillow from the car to rest her head, preparing to take a nap.
Shen Hui watched Shen Yue the whole ti. Seeing that she didn't seem comfortable sleeping, Shen Hui simply snatched Shen Yue’s pillow and put it on her own lap. Then she put her arm around Shen Yue's neck so she could lean on her. "Big brother is not here today. Sleep for a while. I'll wake you when we arrive."
Shen Yue had wanted to check if Si Chengyou had replied. But the pillow was soft. As soon as she lay down, drowsiness ca.
People have three urgencies: eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom.
Since sleepiness had already co, it would be rude not to sleep.
Shen Yue was true to herself. She chose to sleep first. Everything else could wait until she woke up.
...
Si Chengyou finally managed to organize his words and clicked send. He expected Shen Yue’s reply to appear imdiately, but there was no sign of her typing a few words after waiting left and right.
So he started scrolling up to read his chat history with Shen Yue.
The two of them didn't chat much. Apart from greeting each other when they first added each other, there were only these few ssages today.
But although the ssages were few, Si Chengyou stared at them for a long ti.
Si Chengyou still rembered that when the second layer of mory first appeared in his mind, he naively thought that as long as he told his family, they would help him, just like they always had.
But it was not until he walked towards the sa ending that he finally realized he was the only one on this path.
Rembering everything and changing everything could only rely on himself. No one could help him, including his family who he had always depended on.
After realizing this, Si Chengyou chose to face what he had once feared the most and walked the path he had avoided again and again until he climbed to his current position.
Others always thought he was a once-in-a-lifeti genius, but only he knew that every step he took left bloody footprints.
He was afraid, but he had to keep moving forward without stopping for a mont.
Si Chengyou's eyes fell on the screen, where there were four words Shen Yue had sent:
"[It is] my honor."
He had thought that he would have to walk this path alone, bearing everything by himself, rembering pains that no one else would ever know.
But now, these simplest four words allowed Si Chengyou to see a landscape he had never dared hope for.
He did gain another layer of mory this ti.
In this mory, Shen Shuangchen sacrificed himself in that mission, and Si Chengyou experienced yet another failure.
But what he experienced now was Shen Shuangchen surviving because of Shen Yue while Shen Hui also escaped earlier. Moreover, Shen Yue approached him and persuaded him, allowing him to get closer than ever before to grasping the truth.
Most importantly, Shen Yue had also gone back in ti.
Si Chengyou now realized Shen Yue's ti travel occurred after all his tilines.
What Shen Yue saw and endured must also be the sa as him, if not more.
But no matter what, Shen Yue's appearance allowed him to see a direction forward in the fog of darkness.
It was almost as if...
she was his hero.
