"No way!" Wen Yan didn't even turn her head. "You think you can tempt me with just a bowl of self-heating snail noodles? Do you think I'm that weak-willed?"
"If you really have that much self-control, would you still have arranged to meet them here? You could have gotten off at the third stop on the high-speed train."
Wen Yan retorted stubbornly, "Hmph, what does this have to do with willpower? The key is that our original plan cannot be disrupted. Professor Shen, if your thinking is so casual, you certainly don't have OCD, but I do have a little bit. Getting off at the last minute and buying tickets is too troublesome, and we might not even be able to buy the ones we want. Then we won't be able to rest well along the way, which could create a series of butterfly effects and very likely affect the final result."
"Hehe, I can't argue with you." Shen Jingcheng chuckled, then asked, "Are you blaming me for leaking the information to Jingchuan?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "Perhaps this is fate's arrangement."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Jingcheng: "And Professor Shen, you are my destiny in this world. You brought me here, to number 46. And in the end, you also brought them here to say goodbye to me."
Shen Jingcheng sat down next to Wen Yan without saying a word, and chuckled, "Are you being sincere, or are you being sarcastic?"
"Of course it wasn't sarcasm! Did I say anything that conveyed that message?" Wen Yan immediately put down the hot pot in her hand and looked at Shen Jingcheng with a serious expression.
"This was a wonderful journey for me, like a beautiful dream. But dreams always end, and I eventually have to go back. I didn't mean to mock you for the guidance you gave me."
Shen Jingcheng smiled and said, "But sometimes I feel that I have brought destruction to you and our whole family."
"How could that be!" Wen Yan tilted her head to look at Shen Jingcheng, her big, bright eyes sparkling, much brighter than the stars in the sky.
"I never expected Professor Shen to be so conflicted. You think you've brought me destruction, but in my opinion, you've brought me a gift."
"Really?" Shen Jingcheng thought, he would probably never forget those eyes that shone like stars for the rest of his life.
Vibrant eyes, filled with smiles and a touch of gratitude.
She always seemed so sincere, yet possessed a naive and innocent charm.
"Of course it's true! Look, my gift is here!"
As Wen Yan spoke, she suddenly stood up and turned around.
Shen Jingcheng followed her gaze and saw several cars speeding towards them.
The cars were slowing down and soon came to a stop less than two meters away from their vehicle.
The family members have arrived.
Wen Yan stepped forward.
Su Yang couldn't wait to get out of the car and strode forward to hug Wen Yan tightly.
Enveloped in this soft and warm embrace, Wen Yan slowly let out a long breath.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little sad, but mostly happy!
If she can hug the mother of this world one last time before she leaves, then Chun Chun has truly won!
Shen Yuan then walked over and put his arms around the mother and daughter.
Looking over Shen Yuan's broad shoulders, Wen Yan saw Shen Jingxiu standing not far away, staring at her without moving.
His eyes were bloodshot.
The car headlights attracted many small flying insects, and occasionally one would fly onto his face, but he didn't even blink.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jingchuan, Shen Jinghe, and Qin Yulong also got out of another car.
Without saying a word, Shen Jingchuan immediately grabbed Wen Yan's hand.
"You're coming back with me, right now."
"No! Mom, look at Fourth Brother, he's pulling my arm." Shen Jingchuan used force, but not too much. Wen Yan hugged Su Yang's waist tightly and wouldn't let go.
"So what if I pull your arm? If you resist again, I'll just carry you away, even if I have to tie you up!"
"That won't do! Don't I have any human rights? I can sue you for this."
"Go ahead and sue me. I'll fight you in court for the rest of my life."
"Ouch! Don't pull! It really hurts! My shoulder is going to dislocate!"
Wen Yan was actually faking it.
But Shen Jingchuan still took it seriously.
Su Yang also slapped Chen Jingchuan's hand: "Let go of Yan Yan, you're hurting her."
"Exactly!" Wen Yan rolled her eyes at Shen Jingchuan. "You're so rude. By the way, let me ask you, didn't the traffic police ticket you for driving like that?"
"Let them punish me then!"
"Fine, fine. Your sense of morality is so weak. Do you know how dangerous that is? If you're unlucky, you might not only get hurt yourself, but you could also harm innocent bystanders."
"I know! Why are you so long-winded? Come here!"
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kidnap me? I'm not going."
"Come here when I tell you to!"
"Get lost!" Wen Yan looked around. "I think we should find a place to sit down and talk now."
"Come here." Shen Jingcheng had already found a spot and took off his thin jacket, laying it on the grass.
Everyone had a lot to say, but in the end, no one spoke up.
The family of eight sat together in silence.
Wen Yan didn't want to give others a chance to speak first, because she was afraid that others would disrupt her rhythm.
So she decided to strike first.
"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, Yulong. You should have heard the audio I asked third brother to pass on to you, right?"
"You mean this!" Shen Jingchuan was angry. He tried to take something out of his pants pocket, but he was too impatient and couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Finally, he rolled to Wen Yan's feet.
Wen Yan picked up the recording pen with a smile.
As soon as he got his hands on it, Shen Jingchuan snatched it back.
"Give it back to me! Listen to what you're saying! Does it make any sense to you?"
Wen Yan blinked: "You're telling the truth. I listened to it again after recording, and it was alright."
"Not bad my ass!"
While Shen Jingchuan was furious, he turned on the recording pen.
Soon, Wen Yan's voice rang out in the open grassland.
'Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, Yulong, by the time you hear this recording, I should already be gone from this world. Every day I spent with you was filled with joy; you gave me unparalleled memories. But it's time for me to leave. I'm so sorry for keeping this from you all these years; I'm not the real Wen Yan…'
"Uh..." Hearing this, Wen Yan's scalp tingled. It wasn't that she hadn't seen her own movies, TV shows, or variety shows before, so why did hearing her own voice in this situation feel so awkward?
She quickly stood up and tried to snatch the recorder from Shen Jingchuan's hand: "Alright, alright, I believe you have already listened to the complete recording, so let's not play it now. It feels like a public execution."
“Yes, I don’t want to listen anymore!” Shen Jingchuan was quite cooperative and immediately paused the recording. “Because I’ve been listening to it the whole way. If you don’t want to carry out a public execution, then carry it out in private. Why did you only tell Lao San but keep it from us? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Do you really consider us family?”
