Chapter 98 I Liked
"It's every citizen's duty to stop criminal activity." Xie Yue's voice was emotionless, "especially when someone attempts to use illegal means to coerce others."
Ye Chenyu sneered, the pain in his wrist made his face paler, but his eyes became sharper:
"Coercion? Where's the evidence? Mr. Xie, tell me, what did I do?"
His eyes swept across the empty sea surface, and the notebook had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"On the contrary, it was you who illegally possessed a gun, violently destroyed private property, and even openly fired a gun to threaten. I wonder if Mr. Xie can bear these charges?"
Xie Yue did not answer immediately.
He glanced at Wen Nianchu again, confirming that she was indeed fine, before looking at Ye Chenyu again.
"Your notebook," Xie Yue said slowly, "was the biggest piece of evidence. Unfortunately, it's gone."
There was no trace of regret in his tone, but rather a clear sense of sarcasm.
"As for my actions, I naturally have my reasons and my own way of taking responsibility. Don't worry about it."
He took a step forward and stood between Wen Nianchu and Ye Chenyu, creating a clear standoff.
"Now," Xie Yue's voice sank, carrying an unquestionable order to leave, "please leave. Otherwise, the next bullet won't be aimed at the notebook."
Ye Chenyu's gaze passed Xie Yue and fell on Wen Nianchu's face.
She was looking at Xie Yue's back, and the look in her eyes was completely different from when she looked at him.
It is filled with happiness and joy.
She seemed to move towards the man naturally.
It really makes him jealous...
"Very good." Ye Chenyu slowly backed away, but his eyes were always locked on Wen Nianchu, "Niannian, we will see each other soon."
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the shadow cast by the container.
The only sound on the dock was the howling sea breeze.
Xie Yue then completely put away his gun, turned around and looked at Wen Nianchu, his voice carrying a different kind of intimacy than before:
"It's okay, sister."
elder sister?
This name made Wen Nianchu slightly stunned.
She subconsciously looked at the wrist of this "Xie Yue".
There was nothing there, no watch she was familiar with.
Her heart skipped a beat, and an incredible thought came to her mind.
"You..." She spoke hesitantly, her voice a little scattered by the wind, "Are you... the Xie Yue from the parallel universe who never had a birthday?"
It is not surprising that in a novel, there is a system, an author, and Xie Yue traveling to a parallel time and space.
She can exist in two parallel universes.
Then Xie Yue should be able to do it too.
Xie Yue nodded, a trace of loneliness that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes:
"My sister said she would be my future girlfriend...but she lied to me. I waited for a long, long time..."
"But I never waited for you."
"Until later, I met a rich young lady named Wen Nianchu at a business meeting."
"At that time, I couldn't help but wonder... could there really be two people in this world who are so similar?"
"Her preferences, her favorite foods, her behavior, and even her speaking style are all the same as yours."
Wen Nianchu was stunned.
No wonder, when I saw Xie Yue in my previous life, I always felt that the way he looked at me was strange.
"Later, I kept following you. I saw you learn racing, and I saw you use someone's connections to talk to Gambler K about seeking revenge."
"I despise my own change of heart, but I can't help but get close to you."
"Wait, you know K?"
Wen Nianchu was surprised.
"I am him."
"..." Xie Yue explained, "Before you were kidnapped, I did some things for the Royal Dynasty. Because I had no failures, I was given this title."
The air seemed to be stagnant.
Wen Nianchu lowered his head and sighed softly, his sigh filled with too much regret and apology that he couldn't express in time:
"sorry."
She had promised Xie Yue that she would celebrate his birthday with him when he came of age.
However, when she was sent back, she blamed her guilt on Xie Yue in this time and space.
For her, only the people around her are the ones she really needs to care about.
Thinking of this, she stood on tiptoe and reached out her hand with some heartache, wanting to touch his hair, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand.
"Then how did you come to this time and space? Was it also through the system?"
She asked.
The wind passed between the two of them, lifting the corners of their clothes.
There were only two or three steps between them.
Obviously, she had been with Xie Yue for two whole years, spending several years with him, and witnessed the childishness between his eyebrows fade away and become the calmness he has today.
But there was still a hint of insurmountable alienation in her gaze.
"After you died, I found a notebook in the ocean one day while on a business trip."
Wen Nianchu: “!!!”
Wouldn't the laptop break?
Could it be that the little girl in the parallel universe also threw the notebook into the sea?
"I have read all the words above..." His voice was low and calm, yet it seemed to conceal a turbulent storm. "And thus, I have read all your life, and my life."
"I finally understand how you were pushed step by step to death by the so-called plot... After reading those words, I realized that it wasn't that you didn't want me."
"It's fate...it never gave us a chance to choose."
His eyes were fixed on her, and there was a tenderness in them that was almost tragic.
"I wanted to help you, to save you. So I picked up a pen... and wrote a new story on paper, for you, for us."
"Then you..." Wen Nianchu's voice was a little hoarse, intertwined with complex and indescribable emotions, "Aren't you going back? The Xie Yue of the two time and space cannot meet, and they might be wiped out."
Her words were very cruel to him.
It was as if she was deliberately trying to drive him away.
"I will be back." He nodded gently, "I was about to leave anyway."
"Now that your fate has changed...it's time for me to leave."
Wen Nianchu hadn't expected that, just as she finished asking, the other person's figure would gradually fade, the edges like mist blown away by the wind, dissipating bit by bit. But he still smiled stubbornly, looking deeply into her eyes, probably wanting to carve her appearance into his final memory:
"Sister, before I go, I just want to ask you one thing...Have you ever, even for just a moment, liked me?"
"I liked...my past self."
His voice was very soft, with an imperceptible tremor, but it hit her heart hard.
Wen Nianchu was silent.
What should she say...?
A final glimmer of light rose from his completely dissipated fingertips, like a firefly, briefly illuminating the air. She heard his final words carried on the wind, gentle and broken, yet filled with complete relief:
"It doesn't matter."
"I wish you happiness."
After a pause, the voice sounded softly again, as if to comfort himself for the last time:
“…and wish me happiness.”
We all want happiness.
