In fact, Wen Yan had already expected this answer.
But even after confirming that Su Yang and Shen Yuan had died more than 20 years ago, Wen Yan still felt terrible. It was as if there was a wad of cotton stuck in her throat, which she couldn't swallow or spit out.
She didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.
But at that moment, Shen Jingxiu suddenly touched Wen Yan's arm gently.
Wen Yan turned to look at him, and he handed her his phone.
"Here you go, make a call."
With tears blurring her vision, Wen Yan instinctively reached out and took it.
The young woman said, "Mr. Shen, you forgot to turn your phone on. You can't make calls like this. You need to unlock your phone with your fingerprint."
Shen Jingxiu, however, seemed not to have heard the young woman's words at all, and continued to lead Forty-Six forward.
Wen Yan, however, held her phone and skillfully pressed a string of numbers.
With a 'whoosh', Shen Jingxiu's phone unlocked.
The young woman stared in disbelief: "How did you get hold of Mr. Chen's phone? Did he tell you this? Does he even remember his password?"
Wen Yan did not reply.
Shen Jingxiu's login password was something he told her a long, long time ago—no, in her timeline, he told her several years ago.
However, in his timeline, this happened fifty years ago.
Wen Yan opened the photo album, and apart from a large number of photos of 'Wind Chime Trees' and a few landscape photos, there were no images of himself at all.
Further ahead are photos of him and himself from fifty years ago, as well as family photos with her or taken by her.
Some of them watched fireworks together, some had barbecues together, and some went on vacation to the beach together.
Fifty years have passed, and apart from these memories and that tree, he seems to have left no trace of himself.
But now he remembers nothing at all.
Wen Yan wanted to ask Heaven what the past fifty years really meant.
Why did she have to appear at this particular time?
The young woman was utterly astonished: "You look so much like the girl in the photo, so much so! Are you her daughter? Are you her and Mr. Shen's daughter?"
Wen Yan couldn't say that she was the woman in the photo. She nodded and went over to hug Shen Jingxiu.
The elderly Shen Jingxiu was taken aback for a moment, but did not refuse.
Wen Yan still remembered Shen Jingcheng's number.
He had previously stated that this number would never change and would be available 24/7.
So Wen Yan dialed this number immediately.
The call was answered quickly.
The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged woman: "Uncle?"
Upon hearing this address, Wen Yan immediately understood.
The person who answered the phone was probably Shen Jingcheng's daughter.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Until the other person called out again.
She finally spoke: "I...I'm not him."
The other person was clearly taken aback, and it took several seconds before they spoke again.
The other person sounded very excited: "Are you Aunt Wen Yan?"
Wen Yan was also taken aback.
But she quickly realized: "Your father told you about me?"
"Yes, it's my fault for not realizing it at first. Before my father passed away, he specifically told me that this number should continue to be used, and it should not be deactivated or canceled. He said that one day, you might call this number, or you might even be in another time and space, but this number will only exist for you. It's just a pity that my father was unable to receive your call when he was alive."
Wen Yan broke down in tears once again.
"You mean Shen Jingcheng is gone too? How did he die?"
"Cancer. But Dad passed away peacefully."
Can we meet?
"Where are you? Look at me, I'm confused again. You're using Uncle's phone. I'll book a plane ticket and come over right now!"

In that year, Wen Yan, who was only in her twenties, met her nephew and niece, who were in their forties.
She learned everything she wanted to know from Shen Jingcheng's two children.
Su Yang and Shen Yuan died of old age.
Shen Jinghe adopted a child. In his youth, he traveled all over the world. When he got old and could no longer travel, he chose to settle in a beautiful island country. He has always loved cats and dogs and has raised many small animals since settling down.
Shen Jingchuan later returned to racing, but due to his age, he couldn't keep up and got injured, losing the race and being ridiculed. Enraged, he switched careers to become a pilot and even wanted to start a commercial airline. Later, tired of flying planes, he wanted to drive tanks; he's never stopped being restless his whole life, and even now, refusing to accept his age, he keeps saying he wants to go to the moon. He's had a few girlfriends, but unfortunately, he hasn't found someone with similar interests to share his "madness."
After Wen Yan left, Qin Yulong made the program "Taking the Whole Family on a Time Travel" extremely successful, and every program she has done since has been a top-notch industry benchmark. She later devoted herself to public welfare for impoverished and suffering women. She is a staunch advocate of remaining single and has lived a very free life. Last year, she was invited to a small gathering by her nephews and nieces.
Wen Yan had no chance to participate in their lives; her nephews and nieces summarized it all in just a few words.
Wen Yan felt very regretful.
It was even more regrettable than when she resolutely decided to leave.
Why this particular time? Even if she's in her seventies or eighties now.
It was such a vicious knife, plunging right into her heart, causing her heart to beat with a pain that felt like it was corroding her flesh.

On the third day after Wen Yan stayed, Shen Jingxiu suddenly disappeared.
