On the way to the high-speed rail station, the car was moving slower than I expected.
Seeing that Wen Yan was staring out the window without saying a word, Shen Jingcheng suddenly said, "It's not too late to turn around now."
Wen Yan snapped out of her daze and looked back at Shen Jingcheng with some surprise.
"Why do you say that, Third Brother? I am determined to do this. There is no turning back once the arrow is released. Deserting in the face of battle will only cause me pain."
Shen Jingcheng sighed softly: "But I can see you're in a lot of pain right now. To be honest, I'm not feeling well either."
"Oh? You're not feeling well either? That won't do!" Wen Yan suddenly put her hand on Shen Jingcheng's shoulder, cheerfully and exaggeratedly advising, "Third Brother! We're all people who do great things, we can't let ourselves be bound by these emotional entanglements. Once you've made a decision, just do it, how can you be so indecisive?"
"You, hehe..." Shen Jingcheng was amused by Wen Yan's serious expression. He never expected that he would end up being the one who needed comforting.
But her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she seemed to have truly lost the sadness she felt when she was giving her 'last wishes' last night.
He forced a smile and continued, "I just feel that this is a bit unfair to them."
“Don’t think like that, Third Brother,” Wen Yan earnestly advised. “Nothing is absolutely fair. If things are fair to everyone according to your idea, then it’s not fair to me. What if I don’t want to leave when I see everyone? That would be unfair to Fatty, Xiao Meng, and the baby in Xiao Meng’s belly. Besides, we must be clear about our goals. Now, what we need to do is get to our destination and complete the things we’ve planned long ago! Don’t you think so?”
Shen Jingcheng chuckled: "You really are an unexpected surprise."
Wen Yan chuckled and said, "Then I'll take that as a compliment!"
"Yes, I'm complimenting you."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome."
"I love the scenery along this road. No matter the season, the camphor trees on both sides are evergreen. In the summer, when I take this road home, especially at night, I almost never turn on the air conditioning. I just let the wind outside the window blow, and I can always smell the fragrance of the camphor trees. When I'm tired, this fragrance is like an antidote, instantly making me relax. There are some regrets, but the beautiful parts outweigh the regrets. Even though it's a road I often travel, it's practically a road without any regrets."
“Yes,” Shen Jingcheng looked at Wen Yan and smiled gently, “You have been wonderful during the time we’ve known each other.”
"That's good!"
-
While waiting for the train, Wen Yan noticed that Shen Jingcheng was constantly looking at his phone.
"Professor Chen, are you waiting for news from someone? Or is there something else important you need to do?"
Shen Jingcheng immediately turned off his phone and shook his head: "No, there's nothing else important to do."
Wen Yan responded with an "Oh".
But before she could finish speaking, Shen Jingcheng's phone rang.
However, Shen Jingcheng acted quickly. The screen only lit up briefly before he flipped it over. In the meantime, he also pressed the power button twice to hang up the phone.
In Wen Yan's view, this behavior could only be described with four words: 'sneaky'.
She asked curiously, "Professor Shen, why aren't you answering your phone?"
Shen Jingcheng smiled and said, "It wasn't an important call."
“But…” Wen Yan glanced at Shen Jingcheng, “I just glanced at the caller ID, and it was Fourth Brother calling. As twin brothers, is the relationship between you really that weak?”
Shen Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Wen Yan to see the caller ID in such a short time.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, I did it on purpose. I don't really like answering the phone. If he needs to contact me, it's better to send me a message or talk to me face to face."
“Hmm…” Wen Yan nodded, “No wonder you always come to talk to me in person. It’s good that I didn’t call you randomly.”
Shen Jingcheng smiled gently as always: "But my phone will be on 24 hours a day, and I probably won't change it in my lifetime unless something unexpected happens. No matter where you are in the future, you can call me. I hope I can answer."
"Wow! A connection to another world?" Wen Yan chuckled as well. "You guys will have to study this carefully. By the way, this shouldn't be under your department's jurisdiction, right? But it's not a big problem. I've memorized every word of the patent you gave me, so a phone number won't make a difference."
"Okay, then memorize it and don't forget it. We're about to start checking tickets, let's go."
Shen Jingcheng took the initiative to let Wen Yan walk in front.
He then took out his phone from his pocket and sent a screenshot to Shen Jingchuan.
The screenshot shows the train number and origin/departure information of the train he was on.
