Ever since that ambiguous night, Wen Nian has been avoiding Shen Yishu.

Even worse, he simply ran away without saying a word.

Shen Yishu had no idea where he had gone and had no way of looking for him.

She secretly went to Lin Yusheng to find out what Lu Zhengye was thinking, but Lu Zhengye didn't know where he had gone either.

Those few months were filled with EMO memories for Shen Yishu.

Is she terrifying in appearance or does she eat people? She actually managed to scare people away.

Shen Yishu saw Wen Nian again at Lin Yusheng's wedding.

The "missing" person reappeared, but Shen Yishu no longer had the courage to ask him why he left.

It's normal for things to become ambiguous under the influence of alcohol, and it's also common to regret it after sobering up.

Shen Yishu could understand, but she always felt a void in her heart. She explained this feeling as the eternal restlessness caused by what she could not have.

At the wedding, her gaze was constantly drawn to Wen Nian.

Wearing a suit, he appeared more mature and charming than usual.

Lin Yusheng caught her spying on Wen Nian, and she blushed furiously.

While Lin Yusheng was putting on makeup, she asked her, "Have you fallen for someone?"

"No, I wouldn't like him before he liked me," Shen Yishu said stubbornly, her eyes darting away.

Lin Yusheng had known her for so many years, how could she not know her temper?

"Is it that you don't like it, or that you refuse to admit it?"

Shen Yishu was speechless for a moment after her thoughts were guessed.

Lin Yusheng chuckled, "There's nothing shameful about liking someone. You don't need to be stubborn in front of me."

Shen Yishu sighed, "What's the use of liking someone else? He doesn't like me, and he even scared me away."

“Actually, I had a feeling when you came to me indirectly asking about his whereabouts, and I also discussed it with A-Ye.”

What are we discussing?

Lin Yusheng said, "A-Ye said that Wen Nian was born and raised on the island of the Dead Slave. He usually seems to disdain interacting with people, but he just doesn't know how."

"Aye said he was insecure and sensitive. He felt out of place in the outside world after leaving the island of the dead. Even his proud abilities were only met with fear here. He was afraid that others would see his strangeness, so he was reluctant to interact with others."

"I don't know what happened between you two, but if you really like him, you can take some time to see through his heart."

After hearing Lin Yusheng's words, Shen Yishu suddenly realized what was going on.

She had already discerned some of Wen Nian's personality before, but as the saying goes, those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly, and she never expected this.

Shen Yishu felt much more at ease, and she smiled and said, "I understand, thank you, Shengsheng. Today is your wedding, don't worry about me."

“If you and Wen Nian get together, A Ye and I will be very happy to see it,” Lin Yusheng said with a smile.

Putting everything else aside, Shushu has finally met someone she likes, and as long as the other person isn't some heinous villain with warped values, she should encourage and support them.

Shen Yishu was a little embarrassed, "It's not even close to being settled yet, and besides, I'm not even sure if I like him."

“I don’t know about the others, but you will definitely like Wen Nian’s face,” Lin Yusheng teased.

"Sheng Sheng, please stop making fun of me."

...

It was already dark when the wedding ended.

Shen Yishu searched around but couldn't find Wen Nian anywhere, which made her somewhat disappointed.

Her food, clothing, lodging and transportation on the island of the Dead Slave had all been arranged. Just as she was about to take a car back to her residence, she saw a couple in a hurry.

"Why did Yingying suddenly develop a fever?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just a bit of a change in environment."

Did you take a taxi?

"I've tried, but it's peak season now and no one is taking orders."

"What should we do? The driver we were assigned to suddenly fell ill. Should we ask President Gu to assign us another driver? Yingying is crying terribly right now."

"Well... President Gu has been drinking, he's probably asleep by now." The man looked quite troubled.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yishu went up to them and said, "Let me have my driver take you back first."

The woman was flattered. "Are you Miss Shen?"

"Um."

"This...it's so late, won't this be too much trouble for you?"

Shen Yishu smiled and said, "It's alright, you're the ones who are in a hurry."

The couple exchanged a glance, their faces filled with gratitude. "Thank you."

The car drove away.

The once bustling wedding banquet hall is now completely silent.

Shen Yishu, wearing an off-shoulder bridesmaid dress, couldn't help but shiver as the early spring sea breeze blew through her.

No one accepted her ride-hailing order, and she couldn't help but squat down and hug herself. At that moment, her loneliness reached its peak.

In a Bentley not far away, Wen Nian watched as Shen Yishu squatted by the roadside. He struggled for a long time before finally driving the car over.

Shen Yishu noticed something blocking the streetlight's light and subconsciously looked up. Then she saw the car window roll down, and Wen Nian's face appeared in her line of sight.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Wen Nian asked knowingly, pretending that he had just happened to run into Shen Yishu.

Shen Yishu stood up, but staggered slightly because her legs were numb.

Wen Nian was even more nervous than her, her back was lifted off the seat back.

Shen Yishu was surprised to run into Wen Nian today and her mind was a little blank. She replied, "A couple had an emergency, so I had the driver take them home first. Since the banquet just ended, there are no taxis available right now."

"There aren't many poor people on Slave Island, so there are few drivers. It's normal that you can't get a taxi. Let me take you back."

Shen Yishu's face showed an expression of disbelief, "Is that possible?"

"Would I have asked you if I couldn't?" Wen Nian retorted.

Shen Yishu choked, fine, she asked another pointless question.

The car started, and an awkward silence filled the cramped space.

Shen Yishu struggled internally for a long time before casually asking, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Where have you been all this time?"

Wen Nian gripped the steering wheel slightly harder, his veins bulging, a testament to his inner turmoil.

He said, "I walked around a bit."

Shen Yishu nodded, "It's good to travel around, and it's best to make more friends."

Wen Nian didn't know how to reply. After a while, he asked, "And you?"

It took Shen Yishu a few seconds to understand what he was asking.

She originally intended to answer that she was working on a new article.

But then she suddenly remembered what Sheng Sheng had said, and the words that came out of her mouth were, "Uh... I'm busy with blind dates, my family is pressuring me a lot."

There was a red light ahead, and Wen Nian slammed on the brakes. If it weren't for the seatbelt, Shen Yishu would have been thrown out.

Wen Nian asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

After a brief silence, Wen Nian suppressed the inexplicable anger and panic in his heart and tapped his index finger on the steering wheel.

He tried to appear calm and asked, "Have you found someone you like yet?"
