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 years eighteen 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 moved 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?"
Shen Baili: "I want to go to the library to find some information. Please take me there first."
She needs to calm down.
"Okay, Ms. Shiraki."
…
The library is very quiet, surrounded by people who are concentrating on reading or doing homework.
Shen Baili liked the atmosphere here very much. She took out the test paper, picked up her pen and started doing the questions.
She needs time to calm down.
When she suddenly met Su Bowen, Shen Baili was far from being as calm as she appeared.
He is even more hypocritical than in Shen Baili's memory.
Unlike other children, Shen Baili has a good memory and can clearly remember everything that happened in her childhood.
Before the age of six, Shen Baili lived like a little princess. Her parents loved her very much. Shen Wan and Su Bowen loved their daughter very much and held her in their hands since she was a child.
Their family does not have a widowed parenting model. Su Bowen loves his family very much. After Shen Baili was born, he raised the child almost by himself.
Whenever Shen Baili cried, he would immediately run over to take care of her, hug her with sleepy eyes and coax her gently, and patiently tell her stories and explain picture books to her...
Shen Baili has had memories since she was a baby. She remembers the smell of her father and his love.
These memories are so deep that when Su Bowen changes, it is so obvious.
Compared to the slow-witted Shen Wan, Shen Baili was the first to notice the change in Su Bowen. His eyes changed, and he became impatient...
The little girl didn't understand and thought her father was too busy at work.
Later... Su Bowen left her at home with a fever, and she almost fainted from the high fever. It was Shen Wan, who came home early, who found her crying and dying, and carried her to the hospital in the heavy rain.
Facing his wife and daughter's pointing, Su Bowen felt very guilty and explained that he thought Shen Baili's fever had subsided. He received a call from the company and there was an urgent work that required his personal presence.
He lied.
Shen Baili overheard her father's phone call. He was going to celebrate the birthday of another little girl.
It has been a long time since Dad spoke to Sui Sui in such a gentle tone.
Shen Wan was very angry and disappointed with Su Bowen.
Shen Baili did not tell anyone about this and kept it hidden in her heart.
She knew that if she told her mother, she would be even angrier and more sad.
Dad apologized to her, but Shen Baili didn't want to forgive him, so she remained silent.
Later...Su Bowen wanted to divorce, and his mother found out that he was cheating on her.
The man said he loved his mother, but love and people change.
He loved the bright and sunny Shen Wan, not the current Shen Wan who was dishevelled, haggard, weak, and petty.
He fell in love with someone else and abandoned Shen Wan and Shen Baili.
Isn't it ridiculous.
The man married a shining woman, made her dull, and fell in love with another woman who was also shining in her field.
How high-sounding and how ridiculous.
This almost broke Shen Wan.
Later, they spent a long time getting their lives back to normal.
Even if her father died, she and her mother could still be very happy.
This is indeed the case.
…
Shen Baili came back to her senses from her memories. It was already dark and a light drizzle was falling outside.
The sound of the library closing music also began to sound.
Shen Baili packed her things and walked out of the library. The rain outside was getting heavier.
She called housekeeper Kobayashi, but the call was not connected and the line was busy.
Shen Baili put down her phone and quietly watched the heavy rain in the dark.
Her heart was as cold as the rain.
Heavy rain fell, knocking down the leaves. Shen Baili just stared at the leaves falling to the ground, being whipped mercilessly.
The lights in the library went out and people started to leave.
Shen Baili didn't bring an umbrella. She checked her cell phone and saw that it only had 5% battery left.
“…”
Unlucky.
Unlucky people get unlucky.
Shen Baili called driver Xiaolin but still couldn't get through, so she sent Xiaolin a message to inform him of her location.
The message was sent but not read.
Shen Baili was just about to call Manager Lin when her phone shut down automatically due to low battery.
The rain was pouring down, and the sound of the rain made the surroundings seem even quieter.
Shen Baili pressed the power button on her phone. After it lit up for a few seconds, it returned to darkness.
Moths swirl around the street lights, and their flickering shadows fall on the ground, creating a kind of apocalyptic beauty.
Cars sped past on the side of the road, red and yellow lights appeared and quickly disappeared, and no taxi stopped.
What a shame! What a shame!
Ah Deng echoed: "What a shame! What a shame!"
The little orange cat sat on Shen Baili's shoulder with its tail raised, and its meowing sound was very "majestic".
There was a smile in Shen Baili's eyes, but the smile was as fleeting as a flash in the pan.
"Lucky lucky lucky!"
Ah Deng didn't understand why, so he shouted, "Lucky, lucky, lucky!"
Shen Baili stepped on the water on the ground boredly, making a thudding sound.
"We'll be lucky!"
Ah Deng clenched the cat's paw tightly: "Yes! This is called the spiritual luck method."
One person, one system, that's all nonsense.
Ah Deng sensed her troubled mood and accompanied her in his own way.
"Sui Sui, you are the best host I have ever met. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Shen Baili smiled and said, "A Deng, you are also the best system I have ever encountered. I am glad to meet you."
The wind and rain surged like waves. One person and one system stood in front of the huge "waves", feeling the magnificence of nature.
With a loud bang, lightning and thunder appeared at the same time, and Shen Baili and the system cat shook at the same time.
The lightning connected into a network, as if dividing the black sky into countless spaces of different sizes.
Which Taoist friend is going through the tribulation?
Shen Baili took a few steps back holding the cat as these words flashed through her mind and her imagination began to run wild.
"A Deng, are there any immortal cultivators in this world?"
In two years, Ah Deng was as diligent and studious as Shen Baili. She had evolved from a novice system expert to a well-read senior system expert and was very familiar with the novels of this world.
She confirmed: "There are no immortals in this world. The energy system of the immortal world is completely different from that of modern technological society."
Shen Baili asked casually: "Does the energy of lightning come from the same source as yours?"
"If I get hit by lightning, will my energy instantly reach 100%?"
（）
"No! It will send us to heaven!" Ah Deng has learned many words from the human perspective on the world, and he always comes up with golden sentences inadvertently.
"What does the paradise of the system world look like?" Shen Baili had a strange train of thought.
“Are there angels too?”
"There is no heaven in the system, only sleep."
Ah Deng said directly: "I woke up because of you, and before I fulfill my promise to you, I will die with you."
"In other words, we live and die together~"
Ah Deng narrowed his eyes and rubbed Shen Baili's cheek.
Shen Baili: "We were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, and we may die on the same day of the same month of the same year."
The bond had already been created the moment Ah Deng was awakened.
Ah Deng: "Meow~Yes~This is the bond between me and Sui Sui~"
Everyone and the system fell silent again. The heavy rain was still falling. The rain was heavier than the day when Yiping went to her father to ask for money.
"When will this rain stop?"
The accumulated water gathered into small depressions on the ground. Shen Baili looked up at the sky.
The rain has been falling for half an hour.
A man stood in front of the dim library door, with lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain.
With a click, the street light in front of me flickered, and then went out after the spark.
It's getting darker.
There are fewer cars on the road.
Shen Baili: "A Deng, can you charge my phone?"
Butler Kobayashi should have received her text message. The driver of the Xie residence is usually online 24 hours a day, so this kind of situation would not happen.
Because she was in a bad mood, she did not let the bodyguard follow her.
It never rains but it pours.
When a person is down on his luck, he never knows how badly he can get.
The heavy rain blocked her vision and prevented her from leaving.
When Shen Baili's cell phone ran out of battery, she looked around and saw no place to charge the phone.
It was completely dark around her.
"If I had known I would have brought a sports watch with me today!"
At least it can be used as a flashlight.
Shen Baili observed the rain, and when it gradually subsided, she decisively took off her school uniform jacket, let the little orange cat sit on her shoulders, and then swung the jacket to cover both the person and the cat.
"A Deng, hold on to me!"
"Let's go for a walk in the rain~"
zShen Baili's voice shuttled through the rain, and was extremely excited.
She decided to rely on herself and not just stay where she is and wait.
She stepped into several puddles in a row, splashing water all over the ground, and her trouser legs quickly turned from light blue to dark blue.
Shen Baili didn't stop and ran towards the light in one breath. There was a convenience store there.
The rain did not stop, but got heavier. When Shen Baili ran to the convenience store, the rain got heavier again, and raindrops as big as beans fell on the ground.
Shen Baili borrowed a charging cable from the store clerk to charge her phone, but the battery was so exhausted that she couldn't turn it on for a while.
Shen Baili sat in a convenience store, holding a cup of free hot water in her hand. The smoke was curling up and her body was gradually warming up.
If you ignore the wolves and monkeys tonight, the rainy night will have a different flavor.
She stared at the rain in a daze, her mind empty.
The convenience store is close to the road. Vehicles are shuttling through the rain and mist, with orange and red lights crisscrossing and creating a strange and bizarre scene.
Don’t think about anything, don’t do anything, just sit here, listen to the sound of rain, watch the rain fall.
The little orange cat sat on the table, its tail wagging irregularly.
In the heavy rain and light and shadow, a black Maybach suddenly appeared in front of Shen Baili.
Who is it?
This car is kind of cool!
Shen Baili thought so, she glanced at her mobile phone, and it was finally turned on!
As the cell phone started up cheerfully, Maybach's car door opened, and the first thing Shen Baili saw was a beautiful hand with distinct joints and white as jade, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
The umbrella was opened and the people in the car got out. Raindrops fell on the umbrella, crystal clear like pearls.
The man walked through the storm holding an umbrella. He was tall and slender, and his steps were steady and powerful. He walked through the rain curtain with warm light from the car lights, and was covered with a layer of hazy light.
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 seriously, "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."
