As soon as he got in the car, he saw Wen Yan frowning as if she was contemplating life. So, as if by magic, he pulled something out of his pocket and pressed it against Wen Yan's cheek.
Wen Yan snapped back to reality: "What is that? It's soft."
"A little toy saw you were looking down, so it secretly kissed you."
"What doll? Where did it come from?"
“A koala bear.” Shen Jingchuan said, handing a small toy, no bigger than half a palm, to Wen Yan.
“When I boarded the plane, a local little girl insisted on giving it to me. She kept saying I was handsome and asked if I could wait for her to grow up so we could marry each other.”
"Really? You agreed?"
"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? She's just a little girl, only five or six years old. How could I do something like that? Do you really think I'm that unreliable?"
Wen Yan chuckled, "Who knows? You've already accepted the token of your love, haven't you?"
"Get lost! What kind of token of love is this? She insisted on giving it to me. Her mother said I'm already her 80th husband, and it's uncertain whether I'll even get a chance when she grows up!"
Wen Yan: "...Hahaha, not bad, this kid has potential."
As she spoke, Wen Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Truly worthy of being called the 'Little Sister of the New Era,' a role model for the new generation!"
“A role model, my foot! Let me tell you, you can’t be like those kids who fall in love with every girl they see.”
"Then don't worry!" Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "I will never fall in love with every one I meet, nor will I be fickle. I usually love all at the same time, I love everyone equally, I understand? If I were an emperor in ancient times, even if I had three thousand concubines in my harem, I could treat them all equally. I guarantee that my beloved concubines would not be able to find any fault with me."
"Get lost, get lost, you wish! But at least you've finally shown a smile on your face. Look at you just now, it was like you had an inverted V-shape welded onto your forehead, all gloomy."
"Really? Actually, I also think I must have seemed really unhappy just now." Wen Yan said, frowning as she looked at Shen Jingchuan. "By the way, if you were me, what would you do? I'm feeling conflicted right now."
"Want to know how to resolve conflicts?"
"yes."
"Then first, smooth out that frown!" Shen Jingchuan extended his thumb and gently rubbed Wen Yan's brow. "The tighter you furrow your brow, the more pressure you put on yourself. Aren't you usually the most optimistic person, always calm no matter what happens? Why are you like this today?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "I don't know. If only every question in life had an answer, but reality is obviously not like that."
“Then let’s start from the beginning and sort things out step by step.” After hearing Wen Yan’s words, Shen Jingxiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. “First, tell me why you came here today. You know, if you hadn’t come here today, none of what just happened would have occurred. The truth may come to you in another form someday, but it certainly won’t be in this way right now.”
"Sigh, perhaps." Wen Yan sighed. "The biggest reason that prompted me to come here was probably resentment. I acted impulsively and wanted to speak up for my biological mother."
"Because I had a preconceived notion that she was abandoned. So I thought my biological father must have been a terrible person who abandoned my pregnant mother and never even thought about looking for me."
"But from the letters my mother wrote to him, I could tell that she loved him very much, so I really wanted to ask him face to face why he did something that was so unfair to my mother."
"Actually, there was one more question I had prepared, which was to ask him if he regretted it. But when I heard those words and saw his tears, I already knew the answer."
"I was thinking, if he's a jerk, then I'll give him a piece of my mind, then walk away gracefully and let him envy how well I'm doing now. Wouldn't that be great?"
"But now, I'm not happy at all. Instead, I feel it's a tragedy, a tragedy I can't judge as right or wrong. Do you think they didn't make it to the end because they didn't love each other enough, or because they didn't persevere enough? Can every couple love each other that deeply, or persevere for that long?"
"He was covered in injuries after completing his mission and spent so long in the hospital. Whose fault is it? Who should be blamed?"
"When I couldn't judge right from wrong, I realized I didn't know how to face him. Should I find someone, namely him, to pay for the tragedy of that year? Or what should I do?"
Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wen Yan in the rearview mirror and saw her frowning. He frowned as well: "What he said still needs to be verified."
"Yes, but there are only two possible outcomes: yes or no. If he's lying to me, then I'll give him a piece of my mind and block him. If he's not lying to me..."
"So what will you do?" This time it was Shen Jingchuan who pressed on. "Do you want to acknowledge him? Wen Yan, there are only the three of us here. Just tell us what you're thinking. Even if you say you don't want to, we think it's okay. No one will morally blackmail you. Is that what you're worried about?"
"No, not really. There's no real affection between us. After all, this is only the second time we've met, so it's not wrong for me to deny it."
"Yes, look at Qin Yulong. She is clearly our younger sister Zhirou, but she made it clear that she doesn't want to come back to our Shen family. Our parents even begged her to acknowledge her as a member of the family. But Xu Jie is different. He knows that he is not in good condition and his appearance is also... You heard what he just said, right? He said he didn't want to affect you and didn't have any intention of acknowledging her."
