Breathing...it's so hard.
Shen Jiazhou felt as if his mouth and nose were blocked by something, making it hard to breathe, and he felt like he was suffocating.
"Jiazhou? Jiazhou?"
Shen Jiazhou suddenly sat up straight, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
Gu Xingyuan, who was standing next to him, was startled by his sudden straightening up. He said, "What are you doing? You startled me."
"Gu Xingyuan?" Shen Jiazhou looked at him, his head still throbbing. "How come you suddenly look so young?"
Gu Xingyuan also looked puzzled. He reached out and touched his head: "Oh, did you sleep too long? Your brother has always been this young."
Shen Jiazhou's gaze fell on his clothes, then shifted to look at the surrounding environment. He was in a classroom, and there were some A University logos on the walls.
He must have just fallen asleep here; his arm still feels numb.
But shouldn't he be on his way to a summit? How did he end up at University A?
Seeing his bewildered expression, Gu Xingyuan waved his hand and asked, "Chen Er, what's wrong?"
Why am I still feeling strange after taking a nap?
However, he still said, "It's almost your turn to go on stage. This time, you'll definitely crush those guys from B University!"
Those words sound so familiar.
B University...it's time to go...
Shen Jiazhou seemed to have thought of something, and he asked urgently, "What day is it today?"
"Today is your day to dominate," Gu Xingyuan said with a smile. "Chen Er, you can't let down the students of A University when you go on stage later. Let me tell you, there are a lot of your fans in the audience. Today... hey? Hey hey hey? Where are you going?"
Gu Xingyuan quickly grabbed Shen Jiazhou: "Where are you going? We're about to go on stage."
Shen Jiazhou slapped his hand away and said, "I'm going to find my brother."
He remembered it clearly: it was today that he didn't receive Shen Jiachen's call, which led to his car accident and Shi Yue's unfortunate childhood.
Even in his dreams, he wanted to salvage everything...
Gu Xingyuan watched him run out and muttered blankly, "Isn't Brother Chen going back to the US?"
But he realized what was happening in an instant and hurriedly followed after him, saying, "Oh no, you ran away! What about the race?!"
Just as Gu Xingyuan reached the door, he was caught red-handed by a classmate who came to call Shen Jiazhou.
Gu Xingyuan: ...
After getting into the car, Shen Jiazhou realized that he should have called Shen Jiachen first.
He lowered his eyes, staring intently at his phone screen. He knew Shen Jiachen's number by heart, but at this moment, he was hesitant to dial it.
He was afraid of hearing the notification tone when no one answered, or the phone being turned off.
Shen Jiazhou closed his eyes. The image of Shen Jiachen's death had been deeply etched in his mind for more than twenty years. In the middle of the night, he would always regret why he hadn't answered that phone call.
As long as he receives the phone call, Shen Jiachen will not die, and Shi Yue will grow up safely, healthily, and happily by his parents' side, instead of suffering with his clueless uncle.
Shen Jiazhou curled his lips in self-deprecation. It's true that he became younger in his dream, and his mind became younger too. Even though he's over forty, he still felt timid in his dream.
He dialed the number, but the other party didn't answer until the call automatically ended.
Shen Jiazhou stared blankly at the phone in his hand. He still... couldn't get through to the phone in his dream?
Shen Jiazhou leaned back in his chair, tilting his head slightly to look at the scenery outside, lost in thought.
Then his phone vibrated, the ringtone particularly noticeable in the quiet car. He raised his hand to look at it, and the three words "Shen Jiachen" on the screen strongly occupied his eyes.
Shen Jiachen actually...returned his call?
Shen Jiazhou hesitated for a moment before answering, but after realizing what was happening, he immediately picked it up and held it to his ear.
"Shen Jiachen...?" Shen Jiazhou asked cautiously, afraid that the person answering the phone wasn't him.
The next second, the voice on the other end of the phone said, "Tsk, how disrespectful! How dare you call me by my first name? Shen Jiazhou, are you asking for a beating?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shen Jiazhou's eyes instantly reddened, and he whispered, "Brother..."
The line on Shen Jiachen's end was a bit noisy, but he still asked, "What's wrong? Why are you calling all of a sudden?"
Shen Jiazhou snapped out of his daze. Instead of answering Shen Jiachen's question, he asked urgently, "Where are you now?"
"On my way to the airport, you know? I'm going back to the US." Shen Jiachen felt that Shen Jiazhou was acting strangely today.
"Brother," Shen Jiazhou said, "Wait a moment when you get to the airport, okay? I'm on my way there now."
The person on the other end readily agreed: "Sure, but didn't you say you had something important to do today? How come you still have time to give me a ride?"
Important things? It was just a game, insignificant in his life, but because of this game, he lost his loved ones.
Shen Jiazhou didn't speak, but Shen Jiachen knew his younger brother's personality, so he said, "Okay, come on over. I'll introduce you to two people."
“…Okay.” Shen Jiazhou knew very well that the two people were Wen Zhixia and Shi Yue.
They added, "Our tickets are for 3 PM, so there's still plenty of time before registration. Be careful on the road, don't rush."
Shen Jiazhou was now only capable of answering with "okay," so Shen Jiachen hung up the phone.
After another twenty minutes of dazed wandering in the car, Shen Jiazhou finally arrived at the airport. With slightly heavy steps, he began searching the airport according to Shen Jiachen's directions.
