I remember once, before I was bound to the system, I tried on a dress.
I heard that the dress cost over 600 yuan. Su Chen was about to leave it there and not try it on. Her mother also wanted to leave, but her father bought it for her without even blinking.
Thinking of her father, Su Chen felt a pang of sadness. Back when her father attended her parent-teacher conference in elementary school, her homeroom teacher had exclaimed that he was like a "boy next door." But now, due to the struggle to make a living, his face was etched with the marks of time and hardship, and he was no longer as handsome as he once was.
When I was in the dorm, I wanted to show my roommates pictures of my parents, and they all said that my parents were handsome and beautiful, and that I didn't look like them at all. I was a little unhappy at the time, but now I think of them as my most cherished memories.
Sheng Yu sighed as he saw her staring blankly at the clothes, looking as if she were reminiscing about the past.
He knew that Su Chen didn't belong to any of his worlds. She seemed comfortable in every world and got along well with others, but he knew she never considered his side as her home. It seemed she had a place she wanted to return to.
The reason he knew Su Chen was on a mission was because in another world he noticed her unusual behavior and sent someone to follow her. They discovered that she would talk to strangers and do things for them in order to achieve certain results.
Admittedly, he was furious when he learned the truth, so furious that he wanted to destroy her completely, destroy all her thoughts, and then imprison her by his side.
He even considered whether cutting off her hands and feet would solve the problem once and for all.
Unfortunately... he couldn't bear to treat the person he cared about most with the same methods he used against his enemies.
Sheng Yu had once thought about changing his fate, and wondered if that would make things better for the two of them...
But he dared not gamble, just as he had the memories of the previous world since birth. He just kept waiting and waiting until one day he met a girl.
Until that girl, who also had the name Su Chen, had a glint in her eyes that only she could see.
For Su Chen, it might only be a few years, but for Sheng Yu, it's a lifetime. In each world, it might be more or less, half a lifetime or a lifetime.
He stayed by her side, his love turning to hate, and then back to love. His kindness towards her had become a habit amidst the mingling of love and hate, a habit that even suppressed his originally violent nature.
"Look, does this sweater suit me?" Su Chen casually put on a navy blue sweater with two white stripes on the cuffs.
The sweater was indeed a bit too big for Su Chen, but it made her look even more petite and cute.
Sheng Yu snapped out of his daze and nodded with a smile, "Very cute."
This was probably the first time in all her life that Su Chen had heard the villainous boss praise her for being cute. Her face flushed red instantly, and she stammered, "Is...is that so?" After saying that, she quickly turned around.
Sheng Yu found her even more adorable, but since there were people around, he was afraid that if he kissed Su Chen, she would get angry with him, so he could only reach out his big hand and rub Su Chen's head.
Su Chen felt a sweet sensation travel from her mouth to her heart, as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Don't rush, try more. I'll be right here waiting for you." With that, Sheng Yu actually sat down and looked at her.
Su Chen thought to herself, "Sheng Yu probably won't like anyone else, right? I used to hear my roommates complain about their boyfriends, how they were all impatient when they went shopping with their girlfriends, but Sheng Yu wasn't like that."
He even made her brown sugar water and bought her sanitary napkins during her period, and even... he didn't mind washing the blood-stained sheets for her.
Su Chen wondered, Sheng Yu must love her, right?
