The moment Shen Shiyue saw Shen Jiazhou, his mind went completely blank.
Uncle... Uncle isn't...
He looked at Shen Jiazhou and couldn't help but take a step back, then looked at Wen Shuqiao behind him with a blank expression.
Wen Shuqiao's gaze flickered for a moment before she finally lowered her eyes.
Shen Jiazhou's tall figure stepped into the room from outside, and the expression on his face was clearly illuminated by the light inside.
Shen Shiyue kept retreating, and he finally realized what was happening.
It turns out that I had stepped into their trap from the very beginning.
No wonder, he thought, they clearly love each other so much, why doesn't Wen Shuqiao seem to be in a hurry?
He closed his eyes; he should have guessed it long ago.
Wen Shuqiao had been looking for her. When she said earlier that her uncle already knew she came from another world, it actually showed that there were no secrets between her and her uncle.
Because the biggest secret has already been revealed.
Shen Jiazhou reached out and placed his palm on Shen Shiyue's shoulder, controlling him to prevent him from escaping.
The veins on his arms bulged, but in reality, the force that landed on Shen Shiyue was extremely light, so light that he only needed to take one more step back to create distance between himself and his uncle.
But Shen Shiyue couldn't move at all; his eyes were fixed on his uncle.
This is his uncle.
His young, clumsy uncle.
Shen Jiazhou squatted down in front of him. He wanted to smile at Shen Shiyue, but tears welled up in his eyes first.
He pulled Shen Shiyue into his arms and choked out, "Shiyue, I'm sorry."
Shen Shiyue was caught off guard by this apology.
What could my uncle have done wrong? He's clearly the most pitiful one.
She was so young when she was burdened by this child, and in the end, she couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
The person who should apologize is him, not his uncle.
But his throat felt like it was filled with seawater, and he couldn't utter a single word.
She simply let Shen Jiazhou hold her.
In the end, Wen Shuqiao came over, and Shen Shiyue turned to look at her, somewhat bewildered.
Wen Shuqiao said gently, "Sit down and let's talk."
Shen Jiazhou was brought back to his senses by Wen Shuqiao's voice. He took a deep breath and let go of Shen Shiyue, but his broad and warm hand still held Shen Shiyue's hand tightly, as if he was really afraid that he would run away.
After being pulled to sit on the sofa, Shen Shiyue's gaze swept between Shen Jiazhou and Wen Shuqiao. His lips trembled slightly before he finally found his voice: "You... lied to me."
Shen Jiazhou held his hand tightly and tried to calm himself down: "We couldn't find you... so we used some extreme methods. Don't be angry."
Shen Shiyue turned to look at his uncle, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. He said, "Never mind, it's good that you're alright."
Shen Jiazhou felt even more guilty and held onto Shen Shiyue's hand tightly.
Shen Shiyue glanced down at it, and finally withdrew his hand.
Perhaps because Shen Jiazhou was present, Shen Shiyue's tone lowered: "I know what you want, and I know what you want to say to me. I will go back... I never intended to stay here in the first place."
“You are my uncle, but you are not my uncle.” Shen Shiyue took a deep breath: “You are Can Can’s uncle.”
Shen Jiazhou, his eyes red, said, "I am your uncle."
As he spoke, he tried to take Shen Shiyue's hand, but Shen Shiyue gently dodged him: "You don't need to say these nice things to coax me. I know the child you love is Can Can. You're just saying this to make me leave."
No...
Shen Jiazhou wanted to explain, but found that any explanation would be futile.
He and Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to resort to this tactic because of the mission.
Shen Jiazhou had never felt that making a choice was such a painful thing.
Whether it's Can Can or Shen Shiyue in front of him, he only hopes that the child can grow up healthy and happy, and that's enough.
Wen Shuqiao sighed as well, pursing her lips and remaining silent.
The three people in the living room fell silent.
Shen Shiyue glanced at Wen Shuqiao, and then looked at Shen Jiazhou, who was sitting next to him without moving.
He hung his head, looking like a defeated dog.
Shen Jiazhou felt as if a lemon slice was stuck in his throat, both sour and astringent.
Finally, he spoke first, asking, "What do you plan to do after you go back?"
Shen Shiyue let out a soft "Ah," before replying, "I don't know."
Shen Jiazhou said, "Leave the Shen family. I'm sorry, it's my fault... I didn't have the courage to take you away from the Shen family."
Shen Shiyue remained silent for a moment before finally humming in agreement: "I understand."
"How old are you now?" Shen Jiazhou started chatting about everyday things instead.
Shen Shiyue said, "I'll be twenty-six soon."
I'm twenty-six.
That was also the age when he met Can Can.
Shen Jiazhou continued, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"...We broke up." Shen Shiyue hid the melancholy in his voice very well: "We weren't compatible, so we broke up."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuqiao looked up at him.
Do the female and male protagonists in novels also break up?
However, she soon realized that Shen Shiyue's condition was indeed not suitable for entering into an intimate relationship.
"You'll meet the right person eventually," Shen Jiazhou said. "When you do, be proactive and treat the girl well."
He then asked, "Did you inherit all of my estate? Is there anything you don't understand?"
Shen Shiyue glanced at him, and finally replied honestly, "Everything has been taken care of, but the safe in your room hasn't been opened. I've tried many passwords, but they're all wrong."
Shen Jiazhou took out his phone and opened his notes: "Write down the passwords you've tried."
Shen Shiyue then obediently wrote down a few more passwords.
These are all passwords that Shen Jiazhou often uses. Shen Jiazhou asked, "Have you tried your birthday?"
In that world, the most important person to him was Shen Shiyue. If he got the usual password wrong, then based on his understanding of himself, that safe must be related to Shen Shiyue.
Shen Shiyue has never celebrated his own birthday.
Shen Jiazhou said, "It might not be your birthday. It could also be the day we first met. You can try different ones. It has a password related to you."
“…Okay.” Shen Shiyue said sullenly.
Shen Jiazhou continued, "Since you're leaving the Shen family, sell all your shares. Don't sell them cheaply; sell them for a higher price, so you can get a good deal. Use the money to do something you enjoy, or go out for a trip. Don't stay cooped up at home alone. If there's anything you don't understand or are unsure about, just call your Uncle Xingyuan. He'll definitely help you..."
He rambled on and on, as if he were making up for all the things his uncle hadn't finished saying before he jumped into the sea.
"Life is beautiful, Shi Yue." Shen Jiazhou slowly fell silent. "Don't give up on your life because of me. Even if we can't meet now, we will meet again someday."
