Chapter 69 ends the text Shen Yuntang is always the protagonist.

Rainy day.

Life in Haishi Prison was very hard, especially for Shen Anguo, who was used to a life of luxury.

Since he married Zhuo Mei in his twenties, he has never had a hard life.

He looked up and finished reading the news. The only time of the week when he could contact the outside world was over. What followed was endless transformation and despair with no end in sight.

No one has visited him in prison for a long time. Shen Yunhe and her mother have long disappeared. He can hardly take care of himself, so how can he care about him?

When visiting day came, he had not thought that anyone would come to see him.

After hearing this, he was puzzled for a moment, wondering if Shen Yunhe wanted to find out some assets that had not been disclosed from him.

Shen Anguo followed the prison guard angrily and with a gloomy face.

There seemed to be a long negotiation outside the door about some issue. The prison authorities were embarrassed for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.

Then he saw that the person who came in was Shen Yuntang.

Shen Anguo was stunned.

The well-dressed man sat in front of him leisurely and even smiled: "It seems that you are doing well. Your face is not so greasy anymore."

——Isn't that nonsense? Shen Anguo's face turned pale. How could he make a living like this?

He was about to say something harsh, but the other party didn't seem to want to say more to him and simply waved for someone next to him to come over.

I don’t know if this person is her assistant or something, he was wearing a hat and a mask, and was acting weird.

Shen Anguo glanced at the woman and was about to ask her what she was up to when he heard Shen Yuntang whisper something that would echo in his nightmares for the rest of his life.

"Zhuo Mei misses you."

"She's back."

Shen Yuntang closed his mouth after he finished speaking, as if the voice was just ripples on the water.

Shen Anguo was stunned and shuddered. Just as he was about to ask what nonsense you were talking about, he saw the man next to Shen Yuntang coughing into his fist.

She raised her head, and the eyes beneath the brim of her hat were filled with weakness and vicissitudes.

Shen Anguo's heart almost stopped beating for an instant.

Yes - yes -

It's her! ?

Zhuo Mei? ? !

The way she coughed was very similar to the way Zhuo Mei lay on the hospital bed before she passed away.

At that time, she was also lying on the hospital bed, looking at him silently, as if she was looking at a dead object.

Shen Anguo felt chilled at the sight of her, and just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

But now, the past is back.

He suddenly let out a scream of extreme fear.

By the time the prison guards came to subdue him, the two men had already turned and left. Before turning around, the woman wearing a mask pulled her mask down and smiled at him.

This scene became Shen Anguo's lasting nightmare for the rest of his life.

Until he died in a mental hospital, that smile kept replaying before his eyes and he could not close his eyes until his death.

After coming out of the prison, Zhuo Mei took off her mask and hat, looked at the flat road ahead, and suddenly smiled.

She whispered, "Thank you, Tangtang."

She felt relieved after seeing Shen Anguo's fate as she wished.

From the moment she realized that her fate began to take a distorted turn, she hoped to discover the truth, find out who was behind it, and get back on track.

Until she "died of illness", she finally woke up completely and discovered the reason for the chaos in this world.

She was confused when she appeared in another world, because she was supposed to follow the fate and die. Until Shen Zhizhe told her that he could control the gates between the two worlds, and the reason why he let her come to this real world was because his sister had no mother since she was a child and she loved perfume, so he thought she was useful and could play this role.

Zhuo Mei understood the moment she saw little Shen Yuntang.

She is the reason for the changes in that parallel world.

It is also the only key to getting the parallel world back on track.

She had been lurking beside Shen Zhizhe for so many years, and was sent back to the parallel world by him several times in order to adjust the plot. She finally figured out his secret and made some adjustments.

Fortunately, Shen Yuntang discovered it.

Zhuo Mei was very relieved.

She never believed that she would marry such a fool, nor did she believe that she would give birth to a child like the original owner. She was confused about this for a long time before awakening.

Later she met the real Shen Yuntang.

She watched Shen Yuntang grow up.

Truly participate in a girl's growth as a female elder.

If she had a daughter, it would be great if her daughter was this Shen Yuntang.

Shen Yuntang seemed to notice her gaze and met her eyes.

After a moment, Shen Yuntang gently grabbed Zhuo Mei's hand.

"You're welcome." She said, looking ahead.

"Mother."

Zhuo Mei was stunned.

Her hands were warm and her eyes became moist.

…

In June in Hai City, the weather has become sultry.

Shen Yuntang was watching Huo Yuyan packing up to go on a trip. She had been eyeing the Wuzhou Tour that Ms. Tang strongly recommended for a long time. Now that she and Huo Yuyan were finally free, she arranged the trip in one go.

When she pushed her luggage downstairs, she found that Butler Li was not there.

She was surprised: "Where is Butler Li?"

Huo Yuyan: "... Huo Xihuai is taking the college entrance examination today."

Shen Yuntang suddenly realized.

She thought about it, pulled the suitcase with one hand, and left a note for Huo Xihuai with the other.

To: Huo Xihuai

Congratulations in advance on turning eighteen.

May you win countless chemistry competitions and top exams in your life.

——:D Sister

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Even though these words sounded so unpleasant, to Huo Xihuai, they were truly a satisfying blessing.

He had no choice but to stick the note in the most conspicuous place on the wall facing the door, next to the banner that read "Excellent Family".

Huo Xihuai had just left the examination room when he received the news.

Butler Li was sharp-eyed and quickly rushed over with herbal tea and an umbrella. While handing over the things, he chattered, "Master Xiaohuai, Miss Shen and Mr. Shen have gone on a tour around the world. Today's celebration banquet is being held at Mrs. Tang's place. Miss Shen said that when she comes back, you will have a good result and you can open a big one."

Huo Xihuai paused and burst out laughing.

He raised his head and suddenly saw two figures in the crowd whom he had not seen for a long time.

That was his biological mother and stepbrother.

After being driven out to sea, they refused to give up and continued to look for connections.

But Hu Mei didn't expect that Teacher Lin had such a great influence, and there was no way to find a way out.

Later, Liu Guangming could only go to a school that was as ordinary as it could be, and he and Huo Xihuai took completely different paths.

It was not until the day of the college entrance examination that Liu Guangming finally had the opportunity to return to the sea because of the assignment of the examination room.

He came out of the classroom after the exam, feeling angry, but when he looked up he saw a photo with a red background posted on the bulletin board.

The boy was wearing a clean school uniform shirt, and his handsome face was calm and determined.

First place.

Huoxi Huai.

The glass of the notice board is left with fingerprints from countless people who have touched it reluctantly.

He was already too far away from him.

In the future, he will do as Teacher Lin said at that time and go to places that are out of their reach.

Liu Guangming looked at the photo and suddenly wanted to cry.

Huo Xihuai withdrew his eyes and stopped looking at them.

He has his own family now.

…

At the celebration banquet in the evening, Mrs. Tang called all her sisters together and set up three mahjong tables. She even customized a red flower brooch for Huo Xihuai as a card-playing consultant, so that he could provide guidance on a roving basis.

As usual, Mr. Huo was immersed in the kitchen making his modified version of pickled fish. Grandpa Huo leaned on his legs to watch TV, and while watching, he gave advice and comments to a junior next to him, who nodded in agreement.

Huo Xihuai looked at him and smiled knowingly.

He suddenly wanted to call his brother and sister.

He walked onto the balcony alone and made a video call when the hot night breeze gradually cooled down.

It took a while before the other end picked up the phone. It was my brother.

Huo Yuyan's face was full of numbness and indifference, with a pile of shopping bags at hand. He said, "The only thing that old bastard Xie Yunting left behind was the free membership of ST. Now he has disappeared. All the employees of ST are shocked and frightened. I don't know where this membership card came from. She has almost taken it all."

Huo Xihuai: “…” This is indeed Miss Shen’s style.

It's not enough to just isolate him from that world, there must be some practical compensation.

He smiled and suddenly said, "Brother."

"Um?"

Huo Xihuai paused and said softly: "I just want to tell you in person that I did very well in the exam. Please also tell Miss Shen -"

"I know, I know."

Shen Yuntang's impatient voice sounded. She had finally had enough and barely vented her anger. She asked someone to pack up. In this gap, she finally had time to say a word to him.

She always doubted that Huo Xihuai would not be able to do well.

This was the first time since he was a child that he was trusted so unconditionally.

It was Shen Yuntang who made him feel it.

Everyone can live his or her own life with dignity and hobbies.

He was never a weird person.

Or, weird, that’s okay.

There is always someone who can accept him.

Tell him - I can trust you.

…

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuntang looked at the paper bags on the ground and frowned.

Huo Yuyan knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

He stood up resignedly, picked up the ones she liked best, negotiated with the store for the rest, and had them sent back to China and mailed to the Huo residence.

They walked out of the mall amid the whispers of customers, followed by a long line of people carrying and hugging one thing after another. The scene was comparable to a movie set.

"Don't you think we are very eye-catching?" Huo Yuyan said in a low voice while looking ahead.

"What's the problem?" Shen Yuntang remained calm.

She was never afraid of being noticed.

Huo Yuyan nodded in resignation.

Just as he was about to get in the car, the store manager took the lead and opened the door attentively. "Ma'am, please take your time. Welcome to come again."

Shen Yuntang nodded and was about to sit down when he heard whispers behind him.

"What kind of person has such a grand show?"

"Who is she? Is she the center of the world?"

Shen Yuntang paused.

Before getting in the car, she took off her sunglasses, smiled kindly at the two passers-by who were talking, and said, "My name is Shen Yuntang, and I am the center of the world."

She ducked into the car and soon disappeared.

The two people she responded to were left dumbfounded.

…

Shen Yuntang lived a good life in his previous life.

She is beautiful, rich, and loved by many people. Her life is so perfect that she doesn't know what she is missing.

It was not until one day when he inexplicably traveled through a book that Shen Yuntang found out.

She lacks a partner who loves her wholeheartedly, relatives who understand her sincerely, and friends with similar interests.

She lacks real, vivid relationships and another life that does not conform to the script.

Over the past year, she has truly been the center around which the world revolves.

Now she has thrown away her identity as the protagonist and lives in this world with all the living people.

She doesn't need this artificially created protagonist identity.

Because I know that no matter where she goes, she will still be the protagonist.

Shen Yuntang is always his own protagonist.
