The last time we met alone was during our farewell before he left the country.
Are you made of wood?
The moment Pei Wu closed her eyes, she recalled what Jin Wei had once said to her. Suddenly, she felt a commotion in her mind. When she opened her eyes again, she couldn't help but think of the way Shen Yu Nan had looked when he said those words to her.
"Their movements...expressions...even the words they spoke were exactly the same..."
Ji Jiang, who came in again to deliver documents, interrupted Pei Wu's thoughts.
"Master, I've put the documents on your desk."
"Okay." Pei Wu turned her head slightly to look at Ji Jiang while taking a sip of her coffee. "Put it down and go out first."
"OK."
Pei Wu stood by the window for a while, looking at the lush trees outside. In the height of summer, the trees were green and lush, with the occasional chirping of cicadas. Once this thought was opened up, Pei Wu focused more on recalling the bits and pieces of her time with Shen Yu Nan.
Their subtle gestures when thinking, their manner of speaking, and even various other small movements... all unexpectedly overlapped...
Lost in thought, Pei Wu unconsciously sat down by the window. The sunlight outside shone on her face, making her shine. However, her glasses reflected the light slightly, obscuring her expression. But her hand gripping the coffee cup tightened even more.
With her suspicions in mind, Pei Wu walked to the workbench again. She reached out and flipped through the documents that Ji Jiang had brought in again. After a few seconds, she put her glasses back on.
There are some things that Ji Jiang's technology can't do, but Pei Wu can, now that they know the interferer is 'An Yang'...
Sure enough, in just one morning, she obtained the list of participants from 'An Yang' for this game, and sure enough, she saw the name 'Jin Wei' in Shen Yu Nan's column.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, instantly relieving the sense of loss she felt.

For the first time ever, Jin Wei had lunch with his sister.
Jin Mu was several years older than Jin Wei. She doted on her younger brother, who had followed her around since childhood. Later, when Jin Mu went abroad to study, Jin Wei was going through puberty. Jin Wei had always been proud and rarely cried. However, when Jin Mu returned from summer vacation that year, she rarely saw her younger brother crying so sadly.
Jin Mu remembered that it was for some kind of competition.
Then, before he went abroad, Jin Wei cried bitterly again. At that time, Jin Wei was actually not young anymore. Compared with the crying of his youth, Jin Wei just sat there with red eyes and silently shed tears. At that time, he just sat in the corner with his head down. When he heard her approach, he reached out and touched his face.
But this time, when Jin Mu asked him, "Why are your eyes so red?", he simply replied, "It's nothing, I just went to bed a little late last night," and then got up and left.
Once they were a distance away, Jin Mu asked again, "Did you break up with your boyfriend?"
Jin Wei did not answer at the time, but stiffened his back slightly before going upstairs.
However, only Jin Wei himself knew that both of his emotional breakdowns were caused by one person.
"Good, you haven't forgotten to go back to the company for the regular meeting."
"..." Jin Wei did not answer his sister's question, but did not even lift his eyelids. He only slightly raised his eyebrows as a response to his sister.
Today, Jin Wei wore a black shirt with a tie of the same color but a slightly lighter shade. His silver-rimmed glasses slid down slightly to the middle of his nose. He adjusted his glasses with his hand before looking up at Jin Mu across from him.
"I'm done eating."
Jin Wei maintained excellent manners. He swallowed all the food in his mouth, put down his utensils, and gently wiped his lips with a tissue before opening his mouth to reply to Jin Mu.
"My parents asked me to bring it, and I did."
"I'm not free."
"I've met Miss Zhang before. She's good-looking, from a good family, and speaks well. It wouldn't hurt to meet her."
"My parents definitely didn't tell that Miss Zhang that I have two children."
Upon hearing Jin Wei's words, Jin Mu clicked his tongue.
She lowered her voice as much as possible and said, "It's a promise, I'll raise the child for you. In public, we'll only say it's my child. Are you afraid that I won't treat your child well? Being pregnant out of wedlock is a bad reputation, and you don't need to keep bringing it up. You're not young anymore; you should start thinking about your life's important matters."
"..." Jin Wei's silence was not an answer to Jin Mu's question. He only glanced down at his watch. "It's getting late. I'll head back to Anyang first."
