Chapter 134 Shen Jin, you've learned to put on airs, haven't you?

Shen Jin had a smile on his face, but that smile cracked instantly and froze completely after hearing Bai Yujin's words.

Even after she regained consciousness and tried her best not to think about it, and even deliberately put that person out of her mind, some things just happened that were so unforgettable.

Sometimes, the more you try to forget, the more deeply the memory becomes in your subconscious.

Because of this topic, the two people who were chatting happily suddenly fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.

Bai Yujin also felt that he might have asked a slightly inappropriate question. After coughing a few times, he changed his words and said, "If you haven't thought it through yet, then forget it. It's just that a lot has happened, and you've had a tough time."

Shen Jin forced a smile, but it was too difficult. And since there was no one around, he simply ignored his facial expressions, lowered his eyes slightly, and after a long while said, "I don't want... I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."

Bai Yujin was taken aback. He pursed his thin lips, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it, so he could only sigh softly.

He knew that the matter concerning Yan Yu was very complicated for Shen Jin, and it was impossible for him to face it with a calm mind. Moreover, he had only been awake for a short time, and discussing it too much might agitate him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You can handle it yourself." Bai Yujin felt that no matter what grudges or grievances there were, they were matters between the two of them, and it was often not good for others to interfere.

Ultimately, it depends on his own decision on how to proceed.

"You should rest first, don't think too much, it's not good for your health," Bai Yujin said. "About Shen Lian... if you want to see her, I can bring her to see you another day, but I don't know..."

I wonder what she will do after she sees him, discovering that the brother she has been relying on is not actually her biological brother, and that he has another noble identity. And from beginning to end, she was the only orphan no one wanted.

It must be hard for them.

“…Ah, let’s wait a little longer.” Shen Jin took a breath and patted his face. “I haven’t figured out how to face her yet, and I don’t know how to bring it up. If we meet suddenly, I’m afraid she won’t be able to accept many things.”

His thoughts were similar to Bai Yujin's.

The two talked for a long time like friends, and after confirming that neither of them was in any trouble and was still doing well, they hung up the phone.

Shen Jin fell into a long silence. The question Bai Yujin had asked about Yan Yu not long ago was still echoing in his mind. When he closed his eyes, some sweet moments from the past would occasionally flash through his mind, but more often, he saw bloody images...

So cruel, and so painful.

Now, just by looking back, Shen Jin seems to be able to feel his pain and despair at that time, and even more so, he can feel Yan Yu's cold-blooded ruthlessness.

He gently clutched the front of his shirt, took a deep breath, patted his face, and whispered, "Forget it, I don't want to think about that anymore..."

Everyone needs a fresh start. Although he hated Yan Yu, if he tried to get revenge, the conflict between the two of them would never end.

It would be better to cut off all contact altogether and treat each other as strangers from now on...

In the same hospital, Yan Yu was still lying unconscious, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he were having a nightmare, constantly muttering in pain.

Yan Yu developed a high fever last night, which hasn't subsided yet. His face is covered in bruises and he looks terrible. He keeps muttering, "Don't go...don't go..."

Xie Li sat beside him, frowning at his bruised and swollen face. He found it quite a sight and wondered what he had done to deserve such a terrible state.

"It's all that Shen Jin's fault..." Xie Li clicked his tongue, thinking with some disgust, "But he deserves it. Who told him not to sever ties with Shen Jin sooner? Now he's made himself into this inhuman mess."

While he was cursing inwardly, Yan Yu was still having a nightmare, muttering things like "don't go" in broken sentences. Xie Li had no choice but to hold his hand and say, "I won't go, I'm here."

In his nightmare, Yan Yu seemed to hear his words, or perhaps he felt someone holding his hand. He tightened his grip slightly, his brows relaxed a little, and he whispered, "Shen Jin..."

Xie Li: "..."

He's so angry, what bad luck!

"If you miss him so much, just go and shake his hand!" Xie Li angrily pulled her hand away from his palm.

Yan Yu felt weak and listless in his hands, and slowly fell onto the bed, which startled him. He suddenly woke up from his nightmare and looked around blankly.

His gaze skipped over Xie Li, looking around the room, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and his heart instantly felt empty.

"You're awake?" Xie Li clicked his tongue and asked, "You fainted yesterday and were found by the nurses, and then you developed a high fever. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

He spoke for a while, but Yan Yu seemed not to have heard a word. His eyes were filled with undisguised disappointment, and his voice was hoarse as he asked weakly, "Where is Chen Jin..."

"..." Xie Li silently gritted his teeth in his heart, feeling that he was not worthy of it. After all, he had been sitting here with him when he was sick, and instead of thanking him, he asked Shen Jin as soon as he woke up.

Xie Li suppressed his anger, thinking that the other party was at least an injured person and had been so unlucky yesterday, so he decided not to hold it against him for the time being. He took a deep breath and said, "You can't even take care of yourself, why are you asking him? You know he has so many people taking care of you now."

Yan Yu was about to say something when he felt a slight pain at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but gasp as the words Shen Jin had spoken to him last night and the scene of him taking action flashed through his mind.

His heart suddenly felt like a dead sea, utterly still and devoid of any ripples, sinking into an eerie silence. His body seemed to lose all strength, and he collapsed back onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, he muttered to himself, "He hates me..."

"..." Xie Li really hated talking to him here at this moment, because he felt that Yan Yu's topics always revolved around Shen Jin, and he was here, instead of being his audience, listening to his nonsense.

Yan Yu didn't care what he was thinking; he just felt a chill in his chest and a sharp pain, and he had absolutely no idea what to do...

If Shen Jin truly hates him that much, is there no way to salvage the situation? If he continues to pester her, will things only get worse...?

That's not what Shen Jin wants... So what should he do? Should he just give up like this?

He was unwilling to accept it.

"Get up and wash up first, and we'll talk after you've rested," Xie Li said, but Yan Yu seemed not to hear her and continued to ignore her.

He seemed completely lost...

He ignored everyone all day, remaining in his dejected state.

In the afternoon, Xie Li found an opportunity to quietly slip into Chen Jin's hospital room, wanting to see how he was doing, as it seemed that the two of them hadn't seen each other for quite some time.

"Shen Jin..." Xie Li knocked gently on the door from the outside, speaking in a soft voice, "I heard you woke up and wanted to come see you... Are you alright?"

He knew that Shen Jin had regained his memories, and he didn't know how Shen Jin would view the things he had done to him in the past. However, Xie Li was not worried, because in his memory, Shen Jin was still as easy to bully as ever.

Besides, he didn't come here to cause trouble this time. He just came to "visit" Shen Jin with a feeling of "gratitude". What could he do to him?

Thinking about it this way, Xie Li felt even more confident. He smiled and said, "It seems like we haven't seen each other much since we left City A. It's been a long time, and I still have a lot to say to you."

If Yan Yu was the person Shen Jin least wanted to see, then Xie Li was the second, and this second-ranked person was currently "visiting" him.

Shen Jin narrowed his eyes, took a breath, and realized that he couldn't possibly not mind or hate Xie Li for all the things Xie Li had done to him in the past...

He got out of bed, went to the door and opened it. He immediately saw Xie Li smiling at him. Xie Li was slightly taken aback when he saw him, but then immediately smiled and said, "Chen Jin, it's been a long time."

Shen Jin looked at him expressionlessly, even somewhat indifferently, his voice cold: "What are you doing here?"

Xie Li couldn't accept his attitude for a moment. After all, he used to be used to Shen Jin, who was like a fool and obeyed his every command. Now, seeing his cold and arrogant attitude, Xie Li's anger was instantly aroused.

In his heart, he still looked down on Shen Jin and didn't take him seriously. He sneered and, regardless of whether Shen Jin welcomed him in or not, pushed open the door and forcefully entered the ward, then slammed the door shut with a slap.

After closing the ward door, Xie Li was no longer afraid of being seen. He glanced coldly at Shen Jin with disdain and sneered, "It's only been a while since we last met, and Shen Jin, you've already learned to put on airs, haven't you?"

Shen Jin pursed his lips, looking at him expressionlessly. He couldn't understand how there could be such a person. Before he could even settle accounts with him, the man was already putting on his superior airs and about to lecture him.

"Didn't you hear me?" Xie Li grabbed Shen Jin by the collar and pulled him close, sneering disdainfully, "I heard you've gotten involved with the Rong family? You think that makes you invincible? You're dreaming! Don't forget who you are! Don't try to act tough or put on airs in front of me!"
