Chapter 31: The Tube Building (Thirty-One)
Xiaotuan didn't know what was going on, he only knew that he was secretly eavesdropping on his sister's secret. In the blink of an eye, his sister was holding hands with Uncle Shen.
And the stars in Uncle Shen’s eyes seemed to be brighter.
It reminded him of the bedtime story he had heard in his mother's arms. The prince married his princess as he wished, and from then on, the two of them lived a happy life hand in hand.
very nice.
Xiaotuan blinked his big eyes and suddenly missed his mother.
Just as she was thinking, a figure appeared in front of Xiaotuan. It was her sister who let go of Dr. Shen's hand and opened her arms to her.
"Come on, Xiaotuan, play with me this afternoon. I'll take you to the amusement park, okay?"
The girl smiled with her eyes curved and extremely gentle, as if he really was her closest person.
"Amusement park?"
"Yes, there are slides, carousels, and running trains inside."
"Xiaotuan can do whatever he likes."
"Want to go?"
This is the amusement park that 028 found after searching outside. The location is a little far away, but Wen Yin didn't have any other plans today, so he still has time to take Xiaotuan out.
"go!"
Xiaotuan scooped the last mouthful of rice from the bowl into his mouth, swallowed it in a few gulps, and stood up.
"Sister, I want to go!"
Wen Yin nodded, picked up Xiaotuan, and the two of them faced Shen Sinian who was still sitting at the dining table.
“Then let’s say goodbye to Uncle Shen. Uncle Shen still has to go to work.”
Xiaotuan was held in Wen Yin's arms, and he put his arms around Wen Yin's shoulders. His eyes rolled around, and his childish voice rang out clearly.
"Goodbye, brother. I'm going out to play with my sister~" Seeing Wen Yin was slightly stunned, Xiaotuan explained seriously, "You are the elder sister, and your elder sister's boyfriend should be called brother, so he is brother, not uncle."
"Sister, am I right?"
Wen Yin couldn't help laughing out loud. She truly felt that Xiao Tuan was not only mentally tough, but also exceptionally smart and cute.
If time could go back, if Xiaotuan could grow up smoothly, he would definitely become the "neighbor's kid" praised by everyone.
Honest and sunny, gentle and humble.
Become a true gentleman.
"You're right, it's more appropriate to call him brother."
Wen Yin did not correct Xiao Tuan's statement of the word "boyfriend", as if her relationship with Shen Sinian had already been confirmed when they held hands just now.
She was about to wave goodbye to Shen Sinian when she saw the young man in front of her also stand up.
He took off his work ID from his chest and put it in his pocket, then walked over very naturally and took the heavy little ball from Wen Yin's hand.
"I'll go with you."
The little boy who was carried away by Shen Sinian was much taller than Wen Yin. The little boy glanced at Wen Yin and quickly hugged Shen Sinian's neck.
"That's great! If my brother were to hold me, I could see higher!"
"Sister, let's go~"
Two pairs of dark eyes looked at Wen Yin at the same time, one innocent and the other with undercurrents.
There were also countless eyes looking over at them, attracted by their movements.
Wen Yin smiled and nodded, then turned and walked out.
-
028 kept watching the three people in front of him buying tickets at the entrance of the amusement park.
The man is handsome, the woman is gentle, and the child is smart.
Coupled with today's cloudless and sunny weather, it looks like a family of three going out for an autumn outing.
028 couldn't help but sigh at the host's powerful wrist, from being alone last night, to holding hands in the cafeteria, to the current outing of three.
The progress is rapid, and he is worthy of being the most suitable candidate in the eyes of the Lord God.
After last night, Wen Yin seemed to have solved the root of her most tangled troubles.
If Weird needs her love to grow flesh and blood again, then what's wrong with her giving it some sincere love?
No matter this love is the love between friends, the love between teachers and students, or the love between men and women.
Besides...
Wen Yin turned her head to look at Shen Sinian, whose whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light under the autumn sunshine.
With deep eyebrows and superior facial features, his appearance alone makes him a top-tier figure.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, no matter what form "he" took, he never harmed any innocent person...
Even when I was so out of control last night.
Such people should not continue to indulge in the painful and desperate past, nor should they end up collapsing and destroying along with the world because no one can save them.
[028, If I successfully complete the mission, what will happen to the world?]
028 was daydreaming about an earth-shattering love story when he suddenly heard the host ask a very simple question.
It immediately responded with great interest: [If the host completes the correction task, this small world will return to normal, returning to the time before the strangeness formed.]
[To put it simply, it resets time, returning to the time before Song Wan's accident, and arranges a fulfilling life for Song Wan and Xiao Tuan, preventing them from facing another tragic ending.]
028 paused: [After all, if the source of the strangeness is not properly addressed, this small world will be at risk of collapse due to tragedy.]
[I see.]
The warm tone has a light timbre, making 028 feel like the warm and gentle spring breeze described in the book.
[That sounds good...]
[Host, host,] 028's spirits lifted. [From your tone, I feel the probability of our successful mission is very high!]
[It is important to complete the task.]
What Wen Yin said made 028 a little confused again
[But the reset world you mentioned seems to attract me more.]
The three of them had already entered the amusement park. There were many people in the park, laughing and talking in a harmonious atmosphere.
Xiaotuan was quickly attracted by the various novel things inside, and was being held by Shen Sinian as he looked around.
"What are you thinking about?"
028 still wanted to chat with the host, but Shen Sinian suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Yin.
"You seem a little different today than you were yesterday."
Wen Yin smiled, her expression relaxed and calm. All the temptations that used to appear in her eyes and that she thought were well hidden were gone.
"I just think that life is short. Instead of worrying about it, I should choose the way that makes me happiest."
After saying that, she pinched the soft flesh of Xiaotuan's arm that was hanging on Shen Sinian's neck. When Xiaotuan looked at her, she pointed excitedly at the colorful carousel surrounded by colorful lights not far away.
"Xiao Tuan, can you please accompany your sister to sit on that one?"
"Those ponies are so beautiful!"
Xiaotuan's vision was filled with brilliant colors, but none of them seemed to outshine Wen Yin's sparkling amber eyes looking at him.
"Okay~ Then sister, ride on a pony with me!"
Xiaotuan loosened his hands around Shen Sinian's neck and was placed on the ground by the young man.
"Sister, let's hold hands~"
Xiaotuan took Wen Yin's hand, turned around and blinked his big eyes and asked, "Brother, do you want to come with me?"
Shen Sinian glanced at the clasped hands, one large and one small, and then touched the small ball of soft black hair.
"I'm not going. You guys go."
Xiaotuan and Wen Yin got on the colorful carousel as they wished, while Shen Sinian watched them quietly not far away.
The rocking carousel and colorful lights were dazzling to look at, and Xiaotuan exclaimed and laughed from time to time.
What is even more eye-catching is Wen Yin, who is protecting Xiaotuan and looking even more excited than Xiaotuan.
The girl's soft black hair was blown up by the wind, revealing her face with a wanton and relaxed smile.
Compared to her usual gentle, docile, cautious and tentative appearance, this made him want to protect her and make her happy forever.
At this moment, it seemed as if there was no point in persisting in those hatred and malice.
The strangely born love and ties can not only make the dry bones grow flesh and blood, but also seem to make the rotten heart beat again.
Shen Sinian rarely showed an expression of surprise and raised his hand to cover his heart.
Thump, thump, that's the sound of your heartbeat.
-
The whole afternoon was spent in the laughter of Xiaotuan and Wen Yin. When the sun set, Xiaotuan was exhausted from playing and fell asleep on Shen Sinian's shoulder.
The two walked on the leaf-covered path. No one spoke for a long time, and the only sound was the rustling of leaves under their feet.
"Wen Yin." It was Shen Sinian who broke the silence first and called out Wen Yin's name softly.
"Why aren't you afraid of me?"
He stopped and turned his head to look at the girl who was in high spirits after playing for the whole afternoon.
"Don't be afraid of us."
Wen Yin also looked up, and from her point of view, Xiaotuan's cheek was still pressed against Shen Sinian's neck.
She naturally understood that the "they" he mentioned also included Xiaotuan, who was not a normal person.
After all, in the wasteland on the rainy night, there are still buried the dry bones produced by Xiaotuan in countless time cycles.
"Because I don't sense any ill will from you."
Wen Yin tilted her head, a trace of blush from exercise still lingering on her cheeks.
"I'm very sensitive to malicious intent. I can tell at a glance who has bad intentions towards me."
"What about love?"
After Shen Sinian accompanied her out, he did not wear glasses, and his true appearance, which was a fusion of A Wu and the landlord, was displayed nakedly in front of Wen Yin.
A pair of dark and deep pupils drooped straight down, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky. Just one glance made Wen Yin dazed under the warm sunset.
“I feel it.”
Wen Yin smiled generously, and after saying just four words, she walked straight forward, as if she was ready to leave Shen Sinian behind and go forward alone.
But after taking a few steps, he stopped, looked back, and found himself standing in the orange afterglow of the sunset.
She squinted her eyes under the sunlight of the setting sun, and her innocent little white rabbit-like eyes narrowed into cunning fox eyes.
"...Dr. Shen was exceptionally gentlemanly last night, remaining calm even when I was in his arms."
After a few seconds of silence, Wen Yin's tone suddenly became gentle.
"After all, only when you cherish and love someone can you care about and be aware of their feelings."
"Right, boyfriend."
As the words fell, the afterglow of the sunset in Shen Sinian's eyes seemed to be a little more dazzling, making those obsidian-like pupils seem to have fallen into the sparkling sea of sunset.
"Don't you want to ask where Awu and the landlord are going?"
Shen Sinian stepped forward and in just two steps he was beside Wen Yin, with Xiaotuan still sleeping soundly on his shoulder.
"I thought the first thing you would ask today would be this."
“I want to ask, but I’m afraid Dr. Shen will be jealous.”
Wen Yin seemed to be lost in memories.
"Awu is so young and childish, yet obedient and clingy, while the landlord is mature, steady and full of manliness..."
"If they don't show up again, I'll feel a little regretful and reluctant to let them go."
After Wen Yin finished speaking, Shen Sinian, who was looking down at her, also squinted his eyes in the sunset.
Then Wen Yin felt an itch on her ankle. She looked down and saw a sticky black shadow wrapped around her left foot, and a few green branches climbing up her right foot.
Under her gaze, the two little things were unscrupulously wrapping around her smooth legs and climbing up.
Wen Yin stamped her feet: "Awu, stop."
A Wu did not respond.
Wen Yin tried again: "Mr. Song, don't be like this."
Song Yu didn't respond.
Wen Yin understood Shen Sinian's intention, she raised her eyes, her face was not displeased, but she spoke softly in coordination.
"Doctor Shen, can you make them stop..."
"It's not nice in broad daylight."
Shen Sinian pretended to think for a moment, then spoke doubtfully, "But you just said you were sorry to let them go. I have to let you feel their presence for a while longer."
The branches had already wrapped around Wen Yin's thighs, causing a dense and itchy sensation.
"I just said it casually," Wen Yin had nowhere to hide and could only suppress the two chaotic things with her hands. "Doctor Shen is handsome and extraordinary. He is the person I admire most..."
"Shen Si...Ah! Stop!"
Wen Yin's exclamation was stifled. A passerby passed by them and looked at the two of them curiously.
“Chen Sinian… stop now!”
Wen Yin managed to lower her voice and looked at the culprit in front of her, her cheeks truly flushed.
"All right."
Shen Sinian pretended to be regretful and nodded, his eyes dropped down, and he spoke with satisfaction after a few seconds.
"Since you admire me the most, I'd better let them go first."
"If you miss them later, I can let them out again, okay?"
What was there for Wen Yin to not understand? As the source of the weirdness, Chen Sinian had completely taken back the two weird forces that were branching out.
Ah Wu and the landlord did not disappear, but merged back into Shen Sinian's body, just like a tributary stream merging into the main river.
Show weakness when you should, Wen Yin nodded with a flushed face, then quickly shook her head when she realized the trap in Shen Sinian's words.
"It's enough to have Dr. Shen as my boyfriend. As for anything else... I'm afraid I can't handle it."
A dark color began to surge in the eyes of the person in front of him, and it seemed to be even more intense than last night.
Wen Yin trembled all over under such a deep gaze, and the surging branches and black mist finally slowly retreated and sank into the shadow under the other person's feet.
Shen Sinian protected Xiaotuan with one hand, and naturally held Wen Yin's hand that was still pressed on her thigh with the other hand.
Their fingers are intertwined, extremely tightly.
"Let's go, my...girlfriend."
