It's all because when she was so young, she had no one to rely on.
He held her hand, unconsciously tightening his grip, and said with extra seriousness, "Tangtang, let's go back and see him."
Su Tang felt a warmth in her heart, shook her head, and said softly, "In this world, Su Tang is already dead. If I were to appear like this, it would frighten him."
Qin Ye's heart sank, and his mind raced.
Seeing Qin Ye's earnest attempt to find a solution for her, Su Tang felt a warmth dispel the gloom in her heart caused by her memories.
She took his hand in return, a smile returning to her face: "There's always a way, but now's not the time. We need to finish the important business first."
The hint of vulnerability in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by calmness and decisiveness.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
The bill was automatically settled when she got up. The two left "Baiweige", walked through several streets and alleys, and came to an inconspicuous little building.
The building has no signboard, only a facade with constantly changing light and shadow patterns, on which are written two words: "Honeycomb".
"Where is this?" Qin Ye asked.
“A place where you can access the internet, you can think of it as a future…post office? Except, it’s the kind that’s absolutely safe,” Su Tang explained.
She led Qin Ye into a private room, the door closing silently behind them, isolating them from the outside world.
The room was small, containing only a table and two chairs. The tabletop was completely bare, smooth as ice.
Su Tang sat down and gently pressed her finger on the table.
Buzz—
With a soft sound, the entire desktop lit up, and a virtual keyboard made of pale blue light and several operation interfaces appeared out of thin air.
Qin Ye's pupils contracted. This thing... was even more mysterious than the data streams he had seen before.
Su Tang didn't pay attention to his reaction; her expression had already changed.
Those eyes, which were always smiling and gentle like a pool of spring water, were now cold and focused.
The gentle curve of her lips was flattened, her jawline was taut, and she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Su Tang's ten fingers landed on the keyboard of light and shadow, so fast that they almost left afterimages.
Qin Ye couldn't understand the rapidly scrolling, waterfall-like data streams and strange symbols on the desktop, but he could sense that as she operated, the atmosphere in the small cubicle became increasingly tense.
A few minutes later, Su Tang stopped operating.
She opened what looked like a chat window on the screen and typed a seemingly meaningless message.
Are the fish beneath the ice still waiting for the east wind?
After sending it, Su Tang waited quietly, her fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the table.
Qin Ye's heart also jumped.
Time passed slowly, and after about five minutes, the chat box finally responded.
A line of identical encrypted characters appeared and was instantly decrypted by Su Tang.
The wind never stopped, the fish had simply returned to the sea. Dawn breaks, are you still alive?
