Shi Chuan thought it through and decided to erase this memory, which required Pei Yan's help.
The elders said that if a mermaid wants to forget a memory, she needs to seal that memory in her heart-protecting lin and hand it over to someone she trusts.
Before that, Shi Chuan had to settle the mermaids here.
Shi Chuan and Pei Yan buried all the corpses in the palace according to the customs of the mermaids and enshrined their mermaid pearls.
After everything was packed up, Shi Chuan took Pei Yan away from this place.
Shi Chuan looked at the stone tablet in front of him that could open the door to the mermaid kingdom, and carved a few words on it.
When you die, forget about it, don’t think about it.
This is also what he wanted to say to himself.
…
It’s still that broken tin house.
Shi Chuan handed a conch to Pei Yan and said, "Give it to Jiang Qiao for me. There's something I want to say to her inside..."
Pei Yan put the conch in his pocket.
Shi Chuan lay on the bed and personally removed the heart-protecting scales from his chest. Blood was on his hands and the subcutaneous tissue was exposed on his chest, but he didn't say a word.
"Pei Yan, I'll give you the Heart Guardian. Please keep it for me. I'll seal the memories I want to forget inside it... Thank you."
When he wakes up again, he will forget everything he wants to forget. Everything about the mermaids has nothing to do with him. From then on, he is just a mermaid who has lived in the human world since childhood.
Shi Chuan will listen to Talis and live a good life...
Pei Yan took the Heart Guard and said, "Okay."
Shi Chuan closed his eyes, and blue light waves lingered around him.
Half an hour later, a ball of light floated to the Heart Guarding Lin, gradually merging with it and emitting a bright blue light.
Shi Chuan chose to forget the tragic ending of the mermaids and the pain Jiang Qiao brought him. He knew she had her own difficulties, but those wounds were eternal, so it was better to forget them.
Shi Chuan had woven a beautiful dream for himself. He was the only mermaid left in the mermaid clan. He had lived in the human world since childhood and was later adopted by a human couple. He also had an older sister named Jiang Qiao. They lived happily together, and he had lived with his sister since the apocalypse...
Shi Chuan's brows slowly relaxed. When he woke up again, he would start a new life.
——
Jiang Qiao didn't know anything about the mermaids. She had already developed a vaccine and the mermaids would be saved. She thought everything would be going well until... Pei Yan came back with Shi Chuan who looked a little abnormal.
That day, Jiang Qiao was making chicken soup in room 213 when the door suddenly opened. Then she saw Pei Yan standing outside, and following behind him... Shi Chuan timidly.
Jiang Qiao: What’s going on?
When Shi Chuan saw Jiang Qiao, he rushed over as if he had seen a great treasure, "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run away from home."
Jiang Qiao didn't know that in Shi Chuan's current memory, he ran away from home after quarreling with his sister.
Jiang Qiao: ???
Pei Yan quickly walked over and pulled Shi Chuan off, "Don't be so intimate with her in the future."
Shi Chuan was dissatisfied and glared at him; "Why not? Aren't we brother and sister?"
Pei Yan didn't know what to say, so he pursed his lips and said, "I'll be jealous!"
Shi Chuan touched his head: "Okay...brother-in-law."
Pei Yan looked at the chicken soup on the table and poured him a bowl. "Come here and eat first. Your sister and I will go to the other room to talk."
Shi Chuan took the chicken soup and nodded, "Okay, brother-in-law."
Jiang Qiao watched the two of them getting along and gave Pei Yan a puzzled look.
Pei Yan and Jiang Qiao came to room 211.
Jiang Qiao couldn't wait to ask him, "What happened? Why did he become like this?"
Pei Yan was also quite confused. Didn't they say Shi Chuan would forget some things? Why did he wake up like a little kid?
"The mermaids couldn't be saved. When we went there with the vaccine... and then he... woke up like this."
After listening to what Pei Yan said, Jiang Qiao couldn't imagine how painful it must have been for Shi Chuan to have gone through all this and choose to forget.
The vaccine she developed using the blood extracted from Shichuan could not be used on the mermaids, so he was the only one who was harmed from beginning to end.
He is the only one left in the mermaid clan, and Shi Chuan has forgotten everything, so now he only lives in the dream he has woven for himself, but this dream seems to be not woven well, making him look like a child.
Jiang Qiao shed tears of distress, "What did he say to me?"
Pei Yan handed her the conch in his pocket, then left the room and closed the door.
As soon as Jiang Qiao touched the conch, the barrier was broken and Shi Chuan's voice was heard.
"Jiang Qiao, I don't blame you anymore. Even though your vaccine didn't work on the mermaids, I'm still very grateful that you remembered my tribe. Don't feel guilty about it anymore, just let it all go! By the way, I love sweet and sour pork ribs. Next time you see me, you must make them for me. I haven't had them in a long time... Finally, I wish you and Pei Yan all the best... Don't miss me during this period."
His voice was the same as when he left the base, just as sad.
Jiang Qiao burst into tears: "Shi Chuan... I'm sorry..."
After that day, Jiang Qiao always made delicious food for Shi Chuan in different ways.
Shi Chuan ate the sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl and said, "Sister, you are so good to me, even better than to my brother-in-law."
Jiang Qiao laughed it off: "Just know it in your heart, why say it out loud?"
Pei Yan put down his chopsticks and stared at her.
Jiang Qiao felt guilty: "I'm good to you all, all of you."
——
Since the widespread use of vaccines, the barbaric and desolate apocalypse has ended. Post-disaster reconstruction is now underway, and gradually all walks of life are restarting after the disaster.
In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Qiao and Pei Yan walked out hand in hand.
Pei Yan held the red book of the two people in his hand.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 100% of the strategy value. Soul fragments have been collected successfully. Please choose whether to continue to stay in this world.]
Jiang Qiao looked at the man's profile with a smile on her face. It turned out that this was his last obsession.
【Leave. 】
"Pei Yan, hand me the red book over so I can see it. I don't know if the photo I took of me is ugly or not."
Pei Yan opened it and took a look. "Very beautiful."
Jiang Qiao: "That's right, when was I not beautiful?"
Pei Yan smiled, "Yeah."
A stylish sports car came up in front of the two of them, the window half open, and a pair of blue eyes full of vitality.
Shi Chuan simply opened the entire car window and said, "Get in the car. Today is your wedding day, let's have a good meal."
They are still themselves, still a family.
——
At night, the shadows of the trees sway.
Jiang family.
There was a charming scene on the big bed.
Pei Yan's eyes flushed red and his voice was hoarse, "Sister, can we do it again?"
Jiang Qiao kicked him: "We are adults, we need to exercise restraint."
Pei Yan pinched her ankle, his eyes misty, and begged in a hoarse voice: "But tonight is our wedding night."
Jiang Qiao put her arms around his neck and went forward to meet him.
