Chapter 105 (Exclusive)
[“Zhou Yu, you should get married.”]
Shen Baili had just received the unlocked memory when she was hit so hard by these words that her head hurt.
The memory continues...
[“I don’t want to get married! We clearly agreed that as long as I always rank first, you will let me continue studying!”
"I ranked first in the school in this high school entrance exam. I gave all my scholarships to you guys!"
"I can earn more money for my family. Mom and Dad, please don't let me get married."
Zhou Yu's emotions went from anger to pleading. She knelt on the ground, banging her head until it was bruised. In the end, after a long silence, she said, "Drop out of school."
"It's useless for girls to read so many books."
Rather than having an uncertain future, Zhou Yu's parents chose the 600 yuan dowry in front of them.
They clearly felt that their eldest daughter became more out of control after she started school.]
Shen Baili touched her forehead, pressed it again, and seemed to feel pain.
She thought she wouldn't feel bad, but her heart seemed to be tightly clamped.
Memories come flooding back.
Shen Baili looks at her past from a third-person perspective.
[…Zhou Yu ran away. She knew she couldn’t continue her studies. People in the village were looking for her and wanted to capture her and marry her off.
With the help of the giant panda An An, Zhou Yu avoided their pursuit and found a chance to escape.
"Goodbye, An'an."
The mountains were getting farther and farther away from her, and the front was blurry, but Zhou Yu had no choice.]
[…After many twists and turns, 15-year-old Zhou Yu finally came to a big city. As a minor with an illegal hukou, Zhou Yu had a very difficult life…
She has met many people, both bad and good. She has washed dishes in the kitchen, worked in an illegal factory and had her wages deducted, set up a street stall, and slept in a bridge tunnel at night and was almost molested...
Zhou Yu struggled for three years, and her family probably thought she had died in the mountains a long time ago, and no one was looking for her.
She is alone in the world.
On her eighteenth birthday, she experienced the first turning point in her life.
The memory from the age of fifteen to eighteen came to Shen Baili intermittently, frame by frame like a movie scene, accompanied by dramatic emotions.
Fear, terror, despair, loneliness, pain, expectation... it goes on and on.
She grew up stubbornly until she was eighteen years old.
Shen Baili curled up into a ball and hugged herself: "Zhou Yu, you've worked hard."
The little orange cat didn't understand human emotions. Sensing Shen Baili's loss, he burrowed into her arms, trying to warm her.
"Sui Sui, not sad."
Shen Baili changed her sleeping position and held the little orange cat in her arms: "It's very warm."
"Thank you, Ah Deng."
After a brief silence, Shen Baili continued, "A Deng, tell me why the system tampered with my memory."
At the age of fifteen, she did not die on the way to the high school entrance examination. She was admitted to high school and she ranked first!
But she couldn't continue her studies.
In Zhou Yu's subconscious mind, would he rather die in the accident when he was fifteen?
Shen Baili felt sorry for herself.
Ah Deng: “I know.”
Shen Baili listened attentively and motioned for Ah Deng to continue.
Ah Deng analyzed rationally: "The system program produced errors in the time and space storm, or the human psychological defense mechanism, when faced with a major setback, the consciousness chose to forget..."
Shen Baili did not rule out these two possibilities. She was affected by the despair that swept over her.
"A Deng is so great." She rubbed the little orange cat, as if to soothe her wounded heart.
My memory is clear now and many doubts have been answered.
In her previous life, Zhou Yu did not continue her studies due to family reasons and grew up in hardships. However, studying became an obsession that she could not give up.
Shen Baili recalled the scene that flashed by just now, in which a thin girl was leaning against the window, looking at the students in the classroom with almost longing.
Almost every once in a while, when she was about to give up, she would go outside the wall for a while and listen to the sound of reading coming from the classroom.
As she grew older, she spent less and less time outside the school walls.
Zhou Yu, how did you spend your 18th birthday? Did you eat well? Did you eat enough?
What is the turning point at eighteen?
The memory suddenly stopped at this moment, and Shen Baili was at a loss.
"Maybe she went to study."
Shen Baili gave her best wishes.
But both Ah Deng and she knew that this was impossible. If she really continued her studies, she would not have the obsession she had now.
…
From the moment the little princess wore the crown of queen, Shen Baili had a very happy birthday. It was the happiest and most joyful birthday she had this year.
As long as her family and friends are around her, she is so happy every year!
Shen Baili continued to live a busy and fulfilling life in her senior year of high school. Unlocking the memories of her previous life did not have much impact on her.
The past is the past, she boldly moves forward, and the solution to the problem is also ahead.
Eighteen-year-old Shen Baili is full of hope for the future.
She can't change the past, but she can change the future!
…
On the second day after turning eighteen, Xie Tingsi drove his supercar and took Shen Baili for a ride.
"Xiao Lihua, remember to get your driver's license after the college entrance examination."
“You take control of the steering wheel and can go wherever you want.”
The wind was howling, and Xie Tingsi's black hair was blown into a mess, making him look somewhat rebellious and handsome.
Shen Baili raised her hands: "Okay!"
“I want to go to many, many places!”
“I want to travel around the world!”
"I want to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles!"
After hearing her bold words, Xie Tingsi said: "Nerd."
He turned the steering wheel and the car headed north along the coastal highway.
The sunset and the sea breeze, the water and the seagulls, what a beautiful sea view.
"We read thousands of books and drive thousands of miles!"
Shen Baili: “…”
"Brother, you just don't want to exercise."
Xie Tingsi smiled brightly: "Yes, we need to use tools flexibly."
Shen Baili: "Okay, I'll drive the sports car you gave me and travel thousands of miles."
Xie Tingsi: "Then... let's go!"
The silver sports car drove along the road until it disappeared into the sky.
After returning home, Shen Baili had a good night's sleep.
She dreamed of carrying her former self towards the sun.
…
On the third day of her eighteenth birthday, Shen Baili met Su Bowen at the school gate.
That man.
Shen Baili thought she had forgotten, after all, she was only six years old when they left.
But more than ten years later, she remembered his face clearly and recognized Su Bowen at first sight.
Su Bowen stood in front of the car, at a loss as to what to do.
He had not expected to meet Shen Baili like this, so easily, so fortuitously, as if it was a fate destined, an unbreakable bond between father and daughter.
Since the divorce, Su Bowen has never seen Shen Baili again, and he has missed this cute and lovely daughter.
My daughter likes him the most. As soon as her father comes home, she automatically becomes his follower, following him like a penguin.
As soon as Su Bowen got home, he would immediately pick up his daughter and hold her high up. She would happily call out "Daddy Feifei."
Shen Wan put down his briefcase and looked at them tenderly.
At this time, Su Bowen would fly into his mother's arms with his daughter in his arms, then hug his wife and daughter, and all the fatigue of the whole day would be swept away.
They had been so truly happy.
In the blink of an eye, dad's little follower has grown so tall that he can no longer hold him.
Su Bowen feels regretful, but not remorseful.
"Sui Sui." He looked at her, his eyes full of guilt.
Shen Baili had no expression on her face: "Who are you?"
The daughter's expression was exactly the same as Shen Wan's at the beginning. Her indifference made Su Bowen uncomfortable: "Sui Sui, I am your father."
"Don't you remember Dad?" He was hurt.
Su Bowen thought about the many reactions his daughter would have when she saw him. She would get angry, she would cry, she would blame him...
But he never expected that Shen Baili would forget him?
No, she had not forgotten him.
Shen Baili glanced at him and said calmly: "My father died a long time ago."
Died when she was six years old.
Meeting Su Bowen was an accident. Is his stepdaughter also studying in this school?
After a little thought, Shen Baili guessed the reason why Su Bowen appeared here.
Oh.
She didn't want to get entangled with Su Bowen.
Shen Baili turned around and wanted to leave.
"Sui Sui, you hate daddy, right?"
Su Bowen seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and he looked like he was about to break.
"sorry."
Shen Baili looked at the hands that were holding her arms, unmoved.
Shen Baili easily pried his hands apart: "Stay away from me, it's disgusting."
She walked away, leaving Su Bowen alone.
"Sui Sui, checking Su Bowen's favorability."
“Ding ding ding.”
"Su Bowen's favorability towards you is 60/100 (his guilt towards you contains love)"
Shen Baili didn't stop and got into the car that was going to pick her up.
"Sixty points, haha."
She thought it was quite funny, that perfect acting skills mixed with a very small amount of sincerity.
Hypocrisy and evil-minded.
The sedan drove into the traffic. Shen Baili glanced out the window and saw Su Bowen looking at Su Yan lovingly. The two of them were talking and laughing, just like any other ordinary father and daughter.
Su Yan is Su Bowen's stepson.
Shen Baili: “Wow.”
She suddenly became curious about Su Bowen's impression of Su Yan.
Ah Deng squatted on Shen Baili's shoulder and brushed her cheek with his tail.
"Sui Sui, do you want to inquire?"
“You can check it.”
This is a new function that is unlocked after the total energy bar reaches 90%.
Shen Baili was silent for three seconds: "Check."
Ah Deng: "Ding ding ding! Checking target Su Bowen's favorability towards Su Yan..."
"Su Bowen's favorability towards Su Yan is 85/100 (he thinks Su Yan is a lively and lovely daughter)."
Shen Baili sneered twice.
She felt disgusted.
That's disgusting.
The difference between favorability levels of 60 and 85 is an exaggerated 25 points.
Shen Baili was successfully disgusted by the "dead man".
Xiao Lin heard her sneer and asked, "Ms. Bai Li, do you have any instructions?"
沈白梨：“我想去圖書館找份資料，麻煩先送我過去吧。”
她需要冷靜。
“好的，白梨小姐。”
……
圖書館很安靜，周圍都是埋頭看書或者做題的人。
沈白梨很喜歡這裏的氛圍，她拿出試卷，提筆開始做題。
她需要時間緩和自己的情緒。
突然遇見蘇博文，沈白梨內心遠遠沒有表現出來的那麽平靜。
他比沈白梨記憶裏更加虛僞。
和其他小朋友不同，沈白梨記憶很好，她能夠清楚地記得小時候發生的所有事情。
六歲以前的沈白梨活得像個小公主，爸爸媽媽都很愛她，沈婉和蘇博文都很愛女兒，從小捧在手心裏。
她們家不是喪偶式育兒家庭相處模式，蘇博文很愛家人，沈白梨出生後，他幾乎手把手将小孩帶大。
只要沈白梨一哭，他會立刻跑過來照顧她，睡眼惺忪地抱着她輕哄，不厭其煩地給她将故事、講解繪本……
沈白梨從嬰兒時期起就有記憶了，她記得爸爸的味道，記得爸爸的愛。
這些記憶這麽深刻，以至于蘇博文變了的時候，都那麽明顯。
比起遲鈍的沈婉，沈白梨最先發現蘇博文的改變，他的眼神變了，他變得不耐煩了……
小女孩不懂，以為爸爸工作太忙了。
後來……蘇博文将發燒的她丢在家裏，她差點高燒驚厥死去，是提前回家的沈婉發現了哭得奄奄一息的她，冒着大雨背着她到醫院。
面對妻女的指着，蘇博文很愧疚，解釋說以為沈白梨退燒了，他接到公司電話，有緊急工作需要他本人到場。
他撒謊。
沈白梨偷聽到了爸爸的通話，他是去給另外一個小女孩過生日。
爸爸已經很久很久沒有這麽溫柔的語氣跟歲歲說話了。
沈婉很生氣，她對蘇博文感到失望。
沈白梨沒有将這件事說給任何人聽，就這樣掩藏在心底。
她知道如果她說出來，媽媽會更生氣、更傷心。
爸爸跟她道歉了，沈白梨不想原諒，她沉默。
後來……蘇博文要離婚，媽媽發現他出軌。
這個男人說他愛過媽媽，但愛和人都會變。
他愛的是明媚陽光的沈婉，不是現在蓬頭垢面、憔悴虛弱、斤斤計較的沈婉。
他移情別戀了，抛棄了沈婉和沈白梨。
很可笑吧。
男人把閃閃發光的女人娶回家，讓她黯淡無光，又喜歡上了另外一個在她領域裏閃閃發光的女性。
多麽冠冕堂皇、多麽荒謬。
這幾乎擊垮了沈婉。
後來，她們花了很久，讓生活恢複如初。
爸爸死了，她和媽媽也可以很幸福。
事實的确如此。
……
沈白梨從記憶中回過神來，天已經黑了，外面下起了蒙蒙小雨。
圖書館閉館的音樂聲也随之響起。
沈白梨收拾東西，走出了圖書館，外面的雨越發大了。
她給小林管家打了個電話，但一直打不通，顯示占線中。
沈白梨放下手機，靜靜地看着黑幕中的瓢潑大雨。
她的心，也跟着這雨一樣涼。
大雨紛紛落下，打落了樹葉，沈白梨就這麽盯着樹葉飄落在地上，被無情地鞭笞着。
圖書館的燈熄滅了，人們陸陸續續離開。
沈白梨沒有帶傘，她看了眼手機，還剩下5％的電量。
“……”
倒黴。
倒黴人倒黴事。
沈白梨撥打小林司機的電話，依然打不通，她給小林發了個消息，告知自己的位置。
消息發送出去了，未讀。
沈白梨剛準備給林管家打個電話，手機低電量自動關機了。
大雨傾盆，雨聲淅淅瀝瀝，顯得周圍越發安靜了。
沈白梨摁了摁手機開關鍵，短暫亮了幾秒之後，重回黑暗。
飛蛾圍繞着路燈旋轉，撲閃撲閃的影子落在地上，有種世界末日的美感。
馬路邊車輛飛馳而過，紅黃色燈光出現，又很快消失，沒有一輛出租車停留。
倒黴倒黴倒黴！
阿燈附和：“倒黴倒黴倒黴！”
小橘貓坐在沈白梨的肩膀上，尾巴豎起來，喵喵喵的聲音非常有“威嚴”。
沈白梨眼裏帶笑，笑容宛若昙花一現。
“幸運幸運幸運！”
阿燈不明白為什麽，跟着喊道：“幸運幸運幸運！”
沈白梨無聊地踩着地上的水花，發出噠噠噠的聲音。
“我們會變得幸運！”
阿燈握緊貓爪：“對！這叫精神幸運法。”
一人一系統，就這麽胡言亂語。
阿燈感受到她煩亂的心情，以自己的方式陪伴她。
“歲歲你是我遇到過最好的宿主，很高興認識你。”
沈白梨莞爾一笑：“阿燈你也是我遇到過最好的系統，很高興認識你。”
風雨如海浪一般洶湧，一人一系統伫立在巨大的“海浪”面前，感受着大自然的輝煌磅礴。
轟隆一聲，閃電和雷鳴齊齊出現，沈白梨和系統貓貓同時一抖動。
閃電連接成一片網狀，仿佛将黑色的天幕分割成無數個大大小小的空間。
何方道友在渡劫？
沈白梨把抱着貓貓退後了幾步，腦子裏一閃而過這句話，開始天馬行空。
“阿燈，這個世界有修仙者嗎？”
兩年時間，阿燈和沈白梨一樣勤奮好學，她已經從小白系統金進化成博覽群書的資深系統了，對這個世界的小說非常熟悉。
她确定道：“這個世界上不存在修仙者，修仙世界和現代科技社會能量體系截然不同。”
沈白梨随口一問：“那閃電的能量和你同源嗎？”
“如果我被雷電擊中，我們能量會不會立即100%！”
（）
“不會！會把我們送進天堂！”阿燈學會了人類視世界好多詞彙，總是不經意間冒出金句。
“系統世界的天堂是什麽樣的？”沈白梨腦回路清奇。
“也有天使嗎？”
“系統沒有天堂，只有沉眠。”
阿燈直接道：“我因為你而蘇醒，在沒有完成和你的約定之前，會随你消亡。”
“換句話說，我們同生共死~”
阿燈眯着眼睛，蹭了蹭沈白梨的側臉。
沈白梨：“我們同年同月同日生，還有可能同年同月同日死。”
羁絆，在阿燈被喚醒那一刻已經産生了。
阿燈：“喵~對噢~這是我和歲歲的羁絆~”
一人一系統再次安靜下來，大雨還在下，這雨下得比依萍去找她爹要錢那天還要大。
“這雨什麽時候停啊？”
積水在地面上積攢成一個個小窪地，沈白梨看了眼天空。
這雨下半個小時了。
一個人伫立在昏暗的圖書館門前，電閃雷鳴，狂風暴雨。
咔擦一下，面前的路燈一閃一閃，火花之後直接熄滅了。
更黑了。
馬路上的車更少了。
沈白梨：“阿燈，你能給我手機充電嗎？”
小林管家應該收到了她的短信，謝宅的司機一般都二十四小時在線，不會出現這種情況。
因為情緒不太好，她沒有讓保镖姐姐跟着。
屋漏偏逢連夜雨。
人倒黴起來的時候，永遠不知道能倒黴到什麽程度。
大雨阻隔了她的視線，也阻止她離開的腳步。
沈白梨在手機沒電的時候，就觀察了四周沒有給手機充電的地方。
她的周圍徹底暗下來。
“早知道今天就帶運動手表出門了！”
至少還能當手電筒。
沈白梨觀察着雨勢，等到雨勢漸漸變小的時候，果斷脫掉校服外套，讓小橘貓坐在自己肩頭，然後外套一甩，将一人一貓都籠罩住。
“阿燈抓緊我！”
“我們去雨中漫步喽~”
z沈白梨的聲音穿梭着雨幕中，雀躍極了。
她決定靠自己，不能只停留在原地等。
她一連踩了好幾個水坑，撿起一地水花，褲腿很快從淺藍變成了深藍。
沈白梨沒有停留，一口氣朝着光亮處跑過去，那邊有一個便利店。
雨沒有停下來，反而越下越大，沈白梨跑到便利店的時候，雨勢又大了起來，豆大的雨往地上砸。
沈白梨找店員借了充電線，給手機充電，電量耗盡太多，一時半會兒竟然開不了機。
沈白梨坐在便利店裏，手裏捧着一杯免費的熱水，煙霧袅袅，身體漸漸回溫。
如果忽略掉今晚的狼狽，雨夜別有一分滋味。
她盯着雨幕發呆，思緒放空。
便利店靠近馬路，車輛在雨霧中穿梭，橙紅的燈光交錯，光怪陸離。
什麽都不想，什麽都不做，就這麽坐在這裏，靜聽雨聲，靜看雨落。
小橘貓坐在桌上，尾巴無規律地搖擺。
暴雨和光影中，一輛黑色邁巴赫就這麽突兀地出現在沈白梨的面前。
是誰？
這車有點酷！
沈白梨這樣想着，她看了一眼手機，終于可以開機了！
在手機歡快的開機聲中，邁巴赫的車門打開，沈白梨首先看到了一只漂亮的手，骨節分明，蔥白如玉，在黑夜裏格外亮眼。
雨傘被撐開，車內的人走了下來，雨滴淅淅瀝瀝地低落在傘面，如珍珠般，晶瑩透亮。
那人撐着傘穿過暴風雨，身材颀長，步伐穩健有力，他穿過車燈透出來的暖光色的雨簾，拂上了一層朦胧的光暈。
He walked straight ahead without hesitation, his sharp outlines showing through the hazy warm light and rain lines.
Shen Baili's gaze went up and fell on that familiar handsome face.
"Brother!"
The two of them stared at each other through the floor-to-ceiling window and the hazy rain mist. It was raining heavily, with lightning and thunder, but the man's eyes were gentle, filled with concern and worry.
Shen Baili was stunned for two seconds, then stood up immediately as if by reflex. She ran to the door of the convenience store. The wind and rain came towards her, blinding her eyes.
The next second, a tall figure came in front of her, blocking the wind and rain. The mist spread around the two of them, making it wet.
The umbrella tilted, Xie Zhiyu lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl with shining eyes.
"Sui Sui, let's go home."
Will Sui Sui be afraid?
"Brother, come in quickly, be careful of lightning!"
【Thunder is dangerous!】
The overlapping of the deep, pleasant male voice and the clear, urgent female voice was unusually humorous and vivid in the lightning.
They were both stunned.
Xie Zhiyu heard her concern and smiled.
Shen Baili pulled Xie Zhiyu into the convenience store and said earnestly, "Brother, thunder is very dangerous, don't stay in the open!!!"
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst!
Xie Zhiyu was not angry. Following Shen Baili's instruction and concern, he said seriously, "I remember. I won't stay in the empty place."
Shen Baili bought two dry towels and two cups of hot milk, and gave one to Xie Zhiyu.
"Brother, your hair is wet, wipe it off."
Xie Zhiyu held a towel in one hand and hot milk in the other, feeling warm inside: "Thank you, Sui Sui."
The two of them sat in front of the French window, drinking hot milk and watching the lightning and thunder.
"It's really scary. Let's wait until the rain stops before going home."
Xie Zhiyu replied: "Okay."
"Hold on."
After a few minutes, Xie Zhiyu came back with a big bag.
Shen Baili took a sip of hot milk and looked at the bag curiously: "Brother, what did you buy? Food?"
Xie Zhiyu took out two boxes of instant noodles and put them in Shen Baili's hands.
"Eat later."
Xie Zhiyu reached into the bag again. This big bag was like Doraemon’s treasure bag, filled with all kinds of unexpected treasures.
Xie Zhiyu took out a large towel, two gauze towel slippers, socks, ginger tea bags...
Shen Baili widened her eyes and realized belatedly that her shoes and socks were all wet, her school uniform pants were all wet, but her autumn pants underneath were not wet.
Shen Baili put on dry socks and wiped the moisture off her trousers and legs. Xie Zhiyu came back with instant noodles and ginger tea.
Xie Zhiyu said, "We only have instant ginger tea here. Let's get rid of the cold first. I have freshly brewed ginger tea at home."
Shen Baili didn't like the taste of ginger, and the quick-brewed ginger tea had an inexplicable earthy smell. She pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp.
The practical and psychological effects were very significant. Shen Baili felt her body was warm, and her hands and feet were also hot.
"Brother, don't you want to drink?"
"You've been caught in the rain, too. You'll get sick."
Xie Zhiyu: "I've drunk it."
He explained: "The plate is smaller."
In fact, he could have carried it with both hands, but when he saw the cartoon tray provided by the convenience store boy, a sentence from Meng Xiu flashed through his mind.
“Cute decorations can make unpalatable things taste delicious~”
"It looks delicious." Shen Baili said honestly. She took a big sip of water to suppress her nausea.
“But I’m happy!”
[Because it was brought by my eldest brother!]
This girl can always see the true heart of others.
Shen Baili suddenly paused: "Brother, why are you in the library?"
It's not going the right way.
Shen Baili realized something: "Did you come to pick me up on purpose?"
Xie Zhiyu: "Well, take Suisui home."
He downplayed the situation and did not deliberately mention his anxiety and worry.
When I received a call from housekeeper Xiao Lin, when I couldn't get through to Shen Baili's phone, when I learned that Su Bowen and Shen Baili had met by chance, when I searched around the library for several rounds but couldn't find anyone...
There was no need to say it out loud and make Sui Sui feel guilty. Xie Zhiyu just wanted her to know that many people cared about her.
"Thank you, brother!" Shen Baili had a lot to say, and all the words were condensed into a simple and sincere thank you.
Xie Zhiyu rubbed the girl's head and said, "We are a family."
Shen Baili nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"Brother, my mom..."
Xie Zhiyu knew her worries: "Aunt Shen doesn't know, don't worry."
Shen Wan went on a business trip to Beijing. She will not be back until tomorrow. The news of Shen Baili's disappearance has not yet reached her.
Shen Baili: "Thank you... you are so nice, brother!"
As soon as the word "thank you" began, it took a turn.
Xie Zhiyu: “Yeah.”
"Big brother is very good. You can rely on him without any worries."
…
After the two of them finished their deluxe instant noodles at the convenience store, the lightning and thunder disappeared and a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
"Let's go home."
The rain stopped for a while, but there was still water on the road.
Shen Baili looked at her pink cartoon slippers and thought about the probability of her success in clearing the mines.
Xie Zhiyu half squatted down and said, "Sui Sui, come up."
Practice makes perfect. Shen Baili jumped onto Xie Zhiyu's broad back with great skill.
"Go home!"
Shen Baili's voice was filled with joy, and all her worries were forgotten.
*
Shen Wan still learned about Su Bowen and the malicious words he said to his daughter from Shen Baili.
That day, Su Bowen went to the cafe for the appointment, full of anticipation.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Wan hit him hard, and a cube of ice hit his hypocritical face, making it red and painful.
Shen Wan was very satisfied: "Don't look for Sui Sui anymore."
"Her biological father is dead."
