Listening to Chen Yu's conversation with the police, Shen Yan realized that something was wrong.
“Your father died in prison and now you need to cooperate with the investigation again.”
As Chen Yu listened to the police officer's words, her heart sank to the bottom once again. What on earth was going on?
She was so devastated that she couldn't utter a single word, not even a tear.
She even started to wonder, given the high price she paid to be given a second chance at life, why let her live again?
If gaining Shen Yan caused her to lose what she already had, then she would rather not have Shen Yan at all.
She walked out of the police station in a breakdown. The police officers behind her tried to stop her, but Shen Yan stopped them.
"Ask me first. She's in a bad mood right now and can't say anything."
"Alright, alright, then come in with me first."
When the police took Shen Yan inside, he still looked reluctantly at the spot where Chen Yu had left.
Shen Yan told him everything he knew. He was very heavy-hearted. Listening to the police's questions, he roughly understood the cause and course of events. Such a big thing happened, and he was the last to know.
The police released Shen Yan after failing to extract any information from him.
Chen Yu waited near the police station. She wanted to leave, but she didn't know where to go. She could only remain silent.
As soon as Shen Yan came out, he saw Chen Yu squatting on the ground.
He stepped forward and helped Chen Yu up, saying, "Let's go home."
Chen Yu didn't say anything and just followed Shen Yan home.
The hospital called, and Shen Yan answered. He confirmed the call with some disbelief, and only hung up after making sure it wasn't a scam call.
"Aunt Yun... is dead?"
Chen Yu nodded, looking confused.
Shen Yan hugged Chen Yu with heartache, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Chen Yu, nestled in his arms, remained silent; she was too speechless to speak and could only let Shen Yan hold her.
Shen Yan took Chen Yu home and settled her in before going to the hospital to collect the bodies, thus collecting the bodies of two people at once.
He couldn't bear to watch any longer, and tears silently streamed down his face. This was the second time he had lost a family member.
When he was a child, Chen Kang and Li Ziyun took him in and adopted him. Now, he is the one taking in the people who took him in.
After finishing all this, it was already dawn. He went home, first asked the school for leave, and then contacted someone who specialized in this kind of thing.
The price was negotiated for a long time. Chen Yu had never gone out to earn money before, and all the money she had was given to her by Chen Kang and Li Ziyun.
Shen Yan has enough money to support the two of them for a while, but he needs to take on several jobs during his holidays.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to support two people.
After taking a tiring shower, Shen Yan paused in front of Chen Yu, opened the door, and went inside.
Chen Yu was sleeping soundly, but there were always tear stains on the corners of her eyes.
Shen Yan got up to leave, but Chen Yu grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't go."
This made Shen Yan not want to leave at all. He gently lifted Chen Yu, lay down in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep while holding her.
Chen Yu was woken up by the phone ringing. Shen Yan, afraid he wouldn't hear the call, turned the volume up to the maximum.
She nudged Chen Yan's arm. "Phone."
"Um."
Shen Yan immediately let go of Chen Yu's hand, sat up to answer the phone, and said that the Pepsi deliveryman had arrived.
He regained his senses and woke up Chen Yu.
Chen Yu forced herself to get up; her eyes were so swollen she could barely open them.
She went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror; sure enough, it was swollen beyond recognition.
After washing up and going downstairs, Chen Yu watched Shen Yan's retreating figure as he negotiated with others, and felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.
She thought even Shen Yan would abandon her.
Now, her only remaining relative is Shen Yan.
"Chen Yu? Are you done? We're about to head out."
Shen Yan picked a good place for Chen Kang and Li Ziyun, one that was close to his parents.
Chen Yu did not refuse this point.
"good."
Chen Yu answered in a hoarse voice. She put on a mask and went out with Shen Yan. After everything was settled, she knelt in front of Chen Kang and Li Ziyun's graves.
He spoke to them in a low voice.
She began to regret coming back. If she hadn't come back, how could Chen Kang and Li Ziyun have died so young?
Fate plays tricks on people.
Shen Yan took Chen Yu to have breakfast, but Chen Yu didn't eat much, only taking a few bites before saying she was full.
Shen Yan still forced Chen Yu to eat a few more bites.
"Do you want to go back to school, or stay at home?"
"I want to stay at home."
"good."
After finishing breakfast, Shen Yan asked Chen Yu to wait at home for the afternoon.
He hurriedly bought a ticket back to school and talked to his advisor and Chen Yu's advisor.
They extended the holiday directly to the start of the next semester.
They also asked Li Ke'er and Huang Xiaoni for help to pack up Chen Yu's things.
At first, Li Ke'er and Huang Xiaoni were not very willing, but seeing Shen Yan's dejected appearance, and hearing that he was the one who came to ask for leave for Chen Yu.
I guessed that something big must have happened.
He very conscientiously helped Shen Yan pack his things.
Watching Shen Yan's departing figure, Li Ke'er and Huang Xiaoni both felt that this matter must be quite serious.
"Should we ask Chen Yu?"
"Let's not do it. She'll tell us if she wants to."
Huang Xiaoni stopped Li Ke'er from sending a message.
Since this is a significant matter, it's best not to ask about it.
Shen Yan carried his belongings and Chen Yu's belongings home.
