Chapter 73 Li Nian's Independent Side Story - When He Remembered It (Twenty-Two)
Shen Yun mentioned that she met another version of herself before coming here—
Immediately, a face appeared in Yu Qingzhou's mind that was extremely similar to the person in front of her, yet it was definitely a woman's face.
Recalling the nurse's hesitant demeanor not long ago, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in my heart.
The woman's fair knuckles adorned with nail polish—
A red umbrella suddenly flew up and then fell in the dim light of the sky—
The girl's familiar, concerned face in the corridor—
[From nothing at all, suddenly...]
[Disappeared.]
[They've really disappeared!]
Amidst the chaotic sounds and images, Yu Qingzhou felt a sharp, excruciating pain in her head, as if it were about to explode.
The world before our eyes began to churn violently.
A continuous buzzing sound, alternating between high and low frequencies, filled my ears.
Yu Qingzhou clutched her head and curled up in pain.
"————"
He heard a faint call that seemed to come from a very distant place.
Besides Yu Qingzhou's real name, there is another... inexplicably familiar title.
Even though I had never been called that before, the moment I heard those two words, it felt like something inside my heart was suddenly tugged.
A wave of inexplicable bitterness and sorrow instantly spread.
Yu Qingzhou reached out her hand, wanting to grasp that invisible bond.
But he only managed to grab a corner of the white shirt.
In a daze, Yu Qingzhou saw someone crouch down in front of her.
A gentle breeze rustled the ivy outside the window, and he, with blank eyes, suddenly stumbled into an embrace filled with the cool fragrance of plum blossoms.
That feeling was clearly—
Shen Yun turned her head and glanced at the unconscious Yu Qingzhou out of the corner of her eye.
Even after confirming that Yu Qingzhou was unharmed, Shen Yun's solemn expression did not completely disappear.
Because he clearly heard Yu Qingzhou call out "Senior Sister" as her last words before losing consciousness.
At that moment, who was the latter looking at through the person in front of him?
"...Is it Shen Yingxue?"
However, after going through all of Shen Yingxue's past memories, Shen Yun could not find any similar entanglement between the two.
Yes.
Shen Yun possesses all of Shen Yingxue's memories.
Or rather, Shen Yingxue possesses all of Shen Yun's memories.
In the conversation just now, Shen Yun vaguely mentioned how she got here.
He simply said that he saw another version of himself.
But in fact, after that, Shen Yun possessed two sets of memories simultaneously.
Shen Yun's... and Shen Yingxue's.
The two memories, of equal concentration, were intricately intertwined and fought to a standstill.
Sometimes I identify with Shen Yun... that failed psychologist who lost her closest relatives and loved ones one after another.
At other times, she feels like Shen Yingxue... that solitary neurosurgeon who is solely focused on her career, who recently, by chance, encountered a crush she had met once during her student days.
This situation severely impacts daily life.
Not to mention work—
Urged on by the part of his consciousness that belonged to Shen Yingxue, he asked for leave from the hospital where he worked.
Unexpectedly, my phone started vibrating non-stop shortly afterward.
Upon seeing the caller ID, I answered the phone out of habit.
Director Lin's concerned inquiry came from the other end of the phone.
After ending the call concisely and leaning back in my seat with my eyes closed, I suddenly realized something.
Regardless of which side's consciousness prevailed, this body undoubtedly belongs to the male "him".
However, throughout the entire call, the person on the other end of the line did not notice anything wrong with their voice.
This was not the first time they had spoken on the phone.
The next second, as if he had just thought of something, he opened the hospital's official website.
After successfully logging in, I looked at my personal information on the page.
He fell into deep thought.
The above content was almost identical to what Shen Yingxue remembered... except for the name and gender.
The original Shen Yingxue - female, has somehow become Shen Yun - male.
After repeated verification, he confirmed that there was no trace of a woman named Shen Yingxue in the world.
Therefore, I must be certain that I am Shen Yun herself.
However, the part of her memory that belonged to Shen Yun was clearly quite different from the reality she was in...
So, is it myself who's gone mad, or is it the world that's gone mad?
After struggling with the decision for a while, Shen Yun decided to go out for a walk to clear her head, lest she really turn herself into a lunatic.
It just so happens that my former high school is celebrating its anniversary.
That place is where Shen Yun and Yu Qingzhou first met, and it is also a major turning point in the destinies of Shen Yun and Shen Yingxue.
For some reason, Shen Yingxue's family moved to another province when she was ten years old.
And so there was no further meeting or getting to know Yu Qingzhou...
Unexpectedly, I now have a chance encounter with Yu Qingzhou from this world in the old school building, a living, breathing version of her.
When Shen Yun learned that Shen Yingxue's crush was also Yu Qingzhou, she had a fleeting impulse to go and see him.
But he quickly calmed down.
On one hand, Shen Yingxue, as a native of this world, had indeed seen Yu Qingzhou from afar a few times, but the latter should be unaware of this. In other words, they are not that familiar with each other at the moment.
On the other hand—
Shen Yun felt that the Yu Qingzhou in this world was different from the Yu Qingzhou she knew.
Whether it's one's background or the trajectory of one's destiny.
Do I have the right to disturb the other person's peaceful life?
In Shen Yun's view, it is immoral to forcibly drag someone into a situation simply because of one's own intractable chaos.
Moreover, from a personal perspective, Shen Yun had another concern.
He worried that after meeting her, the various things he knew about Yu Qingzhou in this world would completely overwrite the Yu Qingzhou in his memory.
In this regard, aren't I the best example?
Although she is still often torn between two sets of memories and caught in a vortex of identity confusion, the people around her—including the entire visible world—seem to have already tacitly erased Shen Yingxue's existence.
Shen Yun returned to the study room on the second floor of the old school building, simply to revisit the place and sort out the present while reminiscing about the past.
However, Yu Qingzhou's appearance completely changed everything.
From the moment she heard the familiar footsteps, Shen Yun's heart began to race uncontrollably.
When she finally met that long-unseen face and heard the other person call her name, Shen Yun was even more certain that the person standing in front of her was the Yu Qingzhou she knew.
That person who was destined to be together but not to stay together, who missed each other time and time again, and who is now separated from us by death.
In this light, it seems that fate has been kind to me. After all the twists and turns, I was able to regain what I had lost through such a bizarre and extraordinary experience.
only--
What was the meaning behind that "senior sister"?
Shen Yun frowned involuntarily, looking at Yu Qingzhou who was leaning on her shoulder with a complicated expression.
Since the other party wasn't calling for him, nor for Shen Yingxue, could there be someone else...?
At that moment, the old wooden floorboards outside began to clatter with footsteps once more.
It was also something Shen Yun was familiar with, but if one had to say, Shen Yingxue was more familiar with it.
The footsteps reached the doorway, then suddenly stopped.
The newcomer stood there motionless, his heterochromatic eyes staring directly at the two people leaning against each other in the classroom.
The murderous intent in his eyes was palpable.
Meeting that gaze, Shen Yun narrowed her eyes.
He gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, revealing a formulaic, fake smile.
I almost forgot that there is more than just a living, breathing Yu Qingzhou in this world.
And there's that one annoying guy—
What to do? My dear cousin is still alive?
