Chapter 146. That's all she'll do for me.
He Jinzhao glanced at the girl's profile, waiting for her answer.
After a long while, the girl's voice softly rang out.
"I've done everything I'm sorry for."
"Don't say sorry."
"I will not accept it."
"The Resignation of Chen Yan".
"goodbye."
As Song Shiyi walked out of the hospital, she looked up at the sky.
I vaguely see myself at fourteen, the young Shen Yanci with a carefree smile on his face, leaning against the old locust tree at the school gate, the hem of his white shirt fluttering in the late summer wind.
His face still bore the marks of a fight, but he didn't seem to care.
Song Shiyi's eyes were red and swollen, and tears were about to fall, which made him panic instantly.
"Don't cry, Yi Yi. I'm okay. It doesn't hurt at all."
"You're lying!"
Song Shiyi used sign language to say, "Let them say what they want, don't worry about it."
Shen Yanci objected, "How can that be? You're my sister. How can I, as your brother, ignore you when you're being bullied?"
He gently stroked Song Shiyi's head and lightly wiped away her tears. His eyes were bright and clear, filled with the sincerity and passion of a young man.
"Don't worry, as long as your brother is here, no one will ever bully you."
"Brother will be your protector for life."
"..."
A gust of wind blew in, scattering all the images and the boy from that memory.
elder brother.
From now on, we'll face mountains and rivers together.
She stayed with us until this point.
—
On the way back, He Jinzhao asked her about her childhood.
He was very curious about the fact that Song Shiyi had also gotten lost.
Shen Yanci never mentioned this matter to him.
Therefore, he was unaware of it.
When this matter was brought up, Song Shiyi paused, then suddenly thought of something.
Come to think of it, He Jinzhao also got lost once?
What a coincidence.
They had both actually encountered something like this before.
"Actually, I don't remember much about anything before I was six years old."
"I heard it all from other people."
I heard it was because he suffered a major shock and only remembers some vague details.
She had no idea what happened during the time she was missing, how she got back, or why she stopped talking after returning.
She only vaguely remembered that a little boy led her all the way, and eventually their parents arrived.
He Jinchao frowned upon hearing this: "Wait, you said a little boy led you away?"
Do you remember what he looked like?
Song Shiyi shook his head.
He Jinzhao suddenly had a very bold idea.
Do you think it's possible that the little boy he thought he was seeing was actually a girl?
He subconsciously assumed she was a boy simply because she had cut her hair short and wasn't wearing a skirt.
They are still young, and you can't tell anything from their appearance.
Moreover, she remained silent.
He glanced at Song Shiyi, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject.
Did you have short hair when you were a child?
Song Shiyi was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, but she still nodded.
"Yes, because I was born prematurely and my health was very poor."
“My parents heard it from somewhere, saying that they should raise me as a boy because I would have strong yang energy. I always had short hair before I started elementary school.”
"When I grew up, my mom saw that other girls all had long hair and wore all sorts of braids every day. She was so envious that I started to grow my hair long."
When talking about happiness, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, her eyes crinkled, and she looked very happy.
He Jinzhao laughed along, "I see."
Song Shiyi tilted her head and asked him, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
He Jinzhao chuckled softly, his smile seemingly containing something profound.
"Do you remember when I mentioned that I've gotten lost before?"
Song Shiyi nodded: "Of course I remember."
She was just thinking about this.
He Jinzhao's eyes curved into a smile as he pinched the soft back of her neck, his voice laced with a lazy laugh.
"What if I told you that the little boy who was with you back then was me?"
Song Shiyi stopped in her tracks, her face full of surprise.
"It's you?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's me."
She seemed too shocked by the news, and it took her a while to process it.
He Jinzhao scratched her palm and told her what had happened.
Even though Song Shiyi was also a participant, I was still quite surprised to hear it from him.
After she woke up, Song's parents told her that a boy who was a little older than her had taken her to the police station, but when they went to the police station to pick him up, the boy had already been taken away by his parents.
So they didn't get to see him, and later when they wanted to thank him, they couldn't find out who it was.
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder we couldn't find anything if it was the He family.
She exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected it to be you!"
He Jinzhao shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that it was because of that matter that you were unwilling to speak."
Song Shiyi blinked: "So we've known each other for so long."
"Don't you think this is fate?"
He Jinzhao pinched her cheek and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Of course."
"Who wasn't a childhood sweetheart?"
Song Shiyi couldn't help but laugh, "We didn't grow up together or play together, so how can we be considered childhood sweethearts?"
"Who said that?"
He Jinzhao raised his chin and snorted, "You play at your house, I play at mine, how does that not count?"
Song Shiyi: "?"
"...You're getting abstract again."
"So what? I don't care! I want it!"
Song Shiyi was out of ideas.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
He Jinchao said resentfully, "You're so perfunctory."
"It hasn't been that long, and you've already stopped loving me?"
Song Shiyi: "..."
"Congratulations on today."
Someone becomes obedient in a second.
"Did my wife call me because she needs something?"
Nonsense, they're calling him by his full name without any emotion.
Can you not be good?
Otherwise, I might lose my wife!
Song Shiyi gave him a speechless look. "Be serious."
"receive."
He bent down and nuzzled his head against her neck. His voice was soft and sticky.
"I want to thank my past self."
Song Shiyi glanced at him: "Hmm?"
He gently pulled the person into his arms, his clear, cool voice echoing in the wind, his speech unhurried and tender.
"She's found a partner at such a young age, so she won't have to worry about being a bachelor in the future."
Song Shiyi chuckled softly and joked, "You're afraid of that?"
"Of course, if I hadn't met you, I probably would have lived a lonely life until the end."
Song Shiyi remained silent.
If I hadn't met He Jinzhao.
She might follow the established path and marry Shen Yanci.
Then they lived out their ordinary and boring lives.
Perhaps she will discover what Shen Yanci has done, or perhaps she won't.
But for her, neither outcome was a good one.
After a long silence, she spoke softly, "He Jinzhao."
"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
"I am here."
She buried her face in his chest, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and said something solemnly and sincerely.
"Thanks."
Thank you for allowing me to be myself.
Thank you for your boundless tolerance of me.
Thank you for letting me understand what love truly is.
