Chapter 289

Si Chengyou opened his eyes.

He remembered everything, but in fact, it had only been less than two hours since he passed out.

At this time, there were memories of the 26th timeline in Si Chengyou's mind. Compared to the previous timelines, this one was more desperate and at the same time more painful for him.

He had actually done something like that.

He had always thought that Shen Yue and him were made for each other. In the previous timelines, they must have loved each other too, otherwise Shen Yue would not have accepted him so quickly. But he did not expect the truth to be like this.

Shen Yue's time leaps, Shen Yue's suffering, he had a hand in them.

He used his own death to gamble that Shen Yue would regret it, and then, he won.

Did he really win?

"Si Chengyou? Si Dumb, what are you thinking about?" Shen Yue was sitting by Si Chengyou's bedside. Seeing that he had woken up but had not spoken, she called out to him.

Unexpectedly, calling out to him once did not make Si Chengyou come back to his senses. Shen Yue could only call out to him again.

And gave him a nickname in passing, Dumb Dumb.

Hearing Shen Yue's voice, Si Chengyou was stunned for a moment.

He sat up from the bed and looked at Shen Yue. What came to his mind, however, was the figure that fell in a pool of blood after a gunshot.

Si Chengyou tried calling out tentatively, "Xiao...Yue?"

Hearing this form of address, Shen Yue was slightly stunned. She looked at Si Chengyou in surprise, but also felt it was impossible.

This was impossible.

The only person who could remember was herself.

It should be Si Chengyou's whim.

Shen Yue suppressed the abnormal feeling in her heart, and reached out to touch Si Chengyou's forehead. She asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? The doctor just came in and clearly said you don't have any major issues?"

"Are you pretending to be sick again? You've used this trick before, our brothers won't believe it."

At this time, Shen Yue still thought Si Chengyou was trying to stay at the Shen family on purpose and pretend to be pitiful.

However, in the next moment, she was stunned.

"Xiao Yue..." Si Chengyou spoke tremblingly, before he could finish speaking, tears had already fallen down, yet he himself was completely unaware. He just let the tears fall down one after another onto the quilt.

Only then did Shen Yue realize Si Chengyou's eyes as he looked at her were different.

It was no longer the carefree, overjoyed look whenever he saw her...the eyes of a fool.

"Si Chengyou, you..." Before Shen Yue could finish speaking, she was pulled into Si Chengyou's embrace.

Si Chengyou's strength was great, as if wanting to melt her into his blood and bones.

Shen Yue had not had time to complain that it hurt before she heard Si Chengyou start apologizing incessantly next to her ear as if murmuring, "Xiao Yue, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm really sorry... As long as you're fine, I'm sorry..."

The complaint that Si Chengyou had hugged her painfully was swallowed back by Shen Yue.

She hugged Si Chengyou back and gently patted his back, while soothing his emotions and jokingly asked, "Why are you saying sorry?"

"I'm sorry..." Si Chengyou cried even harder, sobbing for a long time unable to get out a complete sentence.

"Mm-hmm." Shen Yue could only agree on one hand while waiting to hear the bullshit Si Chengyou was about to spew.

"I plotted against you... I'm sorry... wuwuwuwu..."

After Si Chengyou finished speaking, he cried even louder.

This commotion directly alarmed Shen Jize who was just passing by.

Shen Jize poked his head in to see what Si Chengyou was up to making such a racket. As a result, as soon as he stuck his head in, he saw Si Chengyou crying sorrowfully with his head on Shen Yue's shoulder.

Shen Jize: ? What was this?

When in doubt, take a photo first.

Shen Jize took a photo and sent it to the group chat, and was also preparing to personally notify the eldest brother to come over.

Not long after, the Shen brothers plus one Shen Hui had all arrived.

The first reaction of everyone after getting into position: take a photo.

Good for you, Si Chengyou! You have met your match today!

Si Chengyou was just crying sorrowfully full of remorse, and did not notice the movement at the door. Shen Yue noticed it, but Si Chengyou’s crying was too sad that she could not break away either.

At this time, she already understood the reason why Si Chengyou would act this way, but many things were not good to say outright. Shen Yue could only pat Si Chengyou while softly comforting him next to his ear, "Don't feel sad anymore. Didn't I also plot against you? The few times you met the caterpillar were when I deliberately threw it."

Shen Yue rarely felt that her efforts were too great. She had peeled off her own past.

If Si Chengyou still kept crying after this, it would be rude.

Who knew, Si Chengyou really kept crying, even more sadly.

"Do you...hate me?" So did you agree to be with me just for revenge?

"I... I'm sorry to you. If you don't like me... sob... it should be so." Si Chengyou choked on his sobs while crying.

Although the words were not complete, Shen Yue understood Si Chengyou very well, and naturally knew what the second half of the sentence he did not say was.

Si Chengyou had misunderstood and started to overthink.

Shen Yue felt unusually headachy for once.

Why, how, one day, would she, in this place, think about, how to coax a man?

Was this heaven's punishment for her?

"I don't hate you."

"You're lying to me."

"I'm not lying to you."

"How could you possibly not hate me."

"Why would I hate you? I've already gotten my revenge."

"You can get revenge on me, it doesn't matter..."

"I've already gotten my full revenge, I won't get revenge on you again." Shen Yue's head hurts.

"Wuwuwuwu, I love you, I really love you..."

Shen Yue looked at the door, very good, six heads, none missing, they all heard it.

Si Chengyou, your subordinates heard it too.

"Mm-hmm, I know, stop crying."

"Can I still... be with you?"

"You can."

"Really?"

"Really."

"You're lying to me."

"I'm not lying to you!" Shen Yue could not stand it any longer. She grabbed the back of Si Chengyou's neck and pulled him away a little, looking into his eyes and said solemnly, "Si Chengyou, calm down a bit, have you cried enough?"

Shen Yue thought this would make Si Chengyou suppress the memories, but unexpectedly, it still did not work.

Si Chengyou's teardrops continued dripping down heavily, very large drops, one after another.

Then, Shen Yue heard him say, "You wanted to kill me."

Shen Yue: ...

"I just touched your neck."

"You hate me, you wish you could strangle me to death." "I don't."

"It doesn't matter, whatever you do to me, I am willing."

Shen Yue: ...

Si Chengyou, I'm begging you, really, wake up.

That day, because Si Chengyou cried too pitifully, the Shen family did not drive him back to the Si family.

But the price was that Si Chengyou was photographed in over a hundred different angle shots of him crying.

Even Shen Jize felt that Si Chengyou was not scary anymore.

He even felt a hint of empathy.

One day later, Si Chengyou reacted to what he had done, flushing red from embarrassment.

Shen Yue was speechless for a moment, "Sobered up?"

Si Chengyou nodded.

"Since you've sobered up, hurry back, lest the brothers come over later and bully you again."

Si Chengyou looked at the nonchalant Shen Yue, and could not help but speak out, "I remembered it."

Shen Yue had guessed it yesterday, so hearing Si Chengyou say it himself did not surprise her much.

"I figured."

The calmer Shen Yue was, the more uneasy Si Chengyou felt. He had thought that even if their past was not as good as it was now, they must have still supported each other and trusted each other.

Shen Yue’s time leaps were also the result of their joint efforts.

But no.

He had plotted against Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was an innocent third party, dragged by him into this abyss of no return.

Shen Yue had saved him, saved everyone, but at the same time, Shen Yue had also fallen into the abyss.

In the happy ending where everyone else could have happiness, only Shen Yue was left guarding those painful memories alone, looking at the familiar people not remembering her, healing her wounds alone.

Alone.

Si Chengyou could not imagine, if he had not gone back in time together with Shen Yue, if he did not have that persistence, how Shen Yue would have been.

Would she just bear everything alone like that?

Would it not be like, every time she looked at other people's happiness, it would be like looking at a dream?

And the real truth, the past truth, existed only in her mind, only hers alone.

Si Chengyou felt as if a pair of big hands were choking his throat, making him unable to breathe.

His heart ached badly too.

Just then, his head hurt for a moment.

Shen Yue hit him.

"Si Chengyou, wake up. Memories are just memories, you need to focus on the present," said Shen Yue.

Si Chengyou was startled. That seemed to be what he had told Shen Yue before.

How true indeed that the person involved is blind.

He looked up uncertainly and asked Shen Yue, "Can I still love you?"

Shen Yue rolled her eyes at Si Chengyou. "What do you think? Who's my fiancé?"

Hearing this, Si Chengyou suddenly couldn't help breaking into a smile. "It's me."

"Of course it's you. Who else could it be?"

"Yueyue."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I know... but if you say that, my brothers won't agree to let me move out and live with you."

"Alright..."
