Chapter 304

Su Yunan started to tell Shen Hui about his memories, first starting with the ending: “That day she told me to leave, so I knew that she didn’t need me anymore. I tried to think of reasons to continue living but couldn’t find any, and I just happened to have a gun on hand...”

“Stop,” Shen Hui said solemnly, interrupting him, “I don’t really want to hear about the stupid things you did. Tell me about Shen Yue and me.”

Su Yunan, who had just started to open up: ...

Poor thing. Weak and helpless, and doesn’t even dare to fight back.

He could only swallow his urge to speak out about his grievances for now, and resign himself to being a tool.

What choice did he have? If it wasn’t for Shen Hui, he would probably still be trapped in his memories.

“After you succeeded in escaping the previous time, you also met Shen Yue. I don’t know exactly what happened between you at the Shen Family, but when I met you both there, Shen Yue was already following behind you.

After that, my mission failed and you caught me to use me as a lab rat for your experiments. From then on my memories are a bit hazy, I just know I had to listen to whatever you said. By the time I more or less regained consciousness, the only order you gave me was to go to Flightless Bird and become a prison guard at Building 1 to protect Shen Yue.”

“I went to Flightless Bird, and thanks to my physical fitness I quickly became a prison guard at Building 1. I would also often hear your name from some higher-ups and the inmates at Building 1.

At that time you were doing something that could shake the world.

Later, I heard that you had died. That was when I bought the information and found out that you had been killed by Shen Yue, and Shen Yue would be sent to Building 1 at Flightless Bird because of that murder charge.”

When Shen Hui heard this, her brows furrowed slightly: “What was Shen Yue’s personality like when she was by my side?”

Su Yunan answered this very quickly: “She didn’t have much emotion or desires, she just listened to everything you said.”

Hearing this description, Shen Hui easily grasped the key points to overturn based on her understanding of herself.

“What happened to the Shen brothers in the end?”

“...Shen Wu took Shen Jize with him to betray the country during the war, fleeing to Flightless Bird, and they both ended up dead. Shen Yichen exhausted his family fortune and was assassinated by the enemy country. Shen Shuangyi became an international superstar, secretly bought off by someone. Shen Shuangchen died in battle.” “What was Shen Yue’s relationship with them like?”

“At least in Flightless Bird, she didn’t provide any protection for Shen Jize and Shen Wu.”

With this information, the cause from the previous timeline was already very clear to Shen Hui.

She clearly remembered that her initial hostility towards Shen Yue in this life stemmed from injustice.

The injustice was that while she was racking her brains to find a way to survive in hell, the person who had stolen her life was living a dotingly pampered existence. How could she tolerate that? But if they were both in hell, it would be completely different.

Clearly, that was the direction the previous timeline had gone in. When she escaped from hell but discovered that the person who had switched lives with her was also living in another kind of hell, what would she do?

Shen Hui knew herself very well: she would save Shen Yue and shelter Shen Yue under her wings, turning her into another version of herself.

Shen Hui continued speculating. If Shen Yue had not obstructed her like she had this time at the Shen Family, she definitely would have used her identity as the Shen Family’s daughter to utilize their power to continue the space-time medium research, and spread that information on a global scale to create chaos, according to her original plan.

When the layout was complete, her own death would become the fuse to make the hidden tensions between countries fully erupt.

That was probably the cause of the whole affair.

Sure enough, she was not a good person. Dying was dying, yet she had dragged so many others down with her.

This made Shen Hui sigh involuntarily: “As expected of me.”

The only thing she felt guilty about was Shen Yue, very obedient.

“Oh right, it seems like you were the older sister in the previous timeline.” Su Yunan randomly searched through the messy memories in his brain and suddenly captured this key piece of information, hurriedly sharing it with Shen Hui.

Shen Hui was not surprised at all, and calmly said: “I guessed.”

She actually hadn’t guessed it. It was just that one night Shen Yue had hugged Shen Hui while half asleep and called her “sis”, which Shen Hui happened to overhear.

At that time Shen Hui more or less had an inkling, so Su Yunan’s confirmation now was just corroborating her speculation.

Who was the older sister didn’t really matter, it was just an appellation. As long as Shen Yue was willing, even if she called herself “bro” Shen Hui would have no issues with it.

The premise was that Eldest Brother Shen would not discipline her for it.

After getting a clear understanding of the cause, Shen Hui started getting Su Yunan to recount the process.

Su Yunan told her everything he saw by Shen Yue’s side, including Shen Yue’s initial situation when she entered Flightless Bird, Shen Yue’s changes after Ma Sha died, Si Chengyou’s teachings to Shen Yue, Shen Yue’s scheme against Tang Yi, and her final choice.

Although Shen Hui’s existence was clearly absent from everything Shen Yue experienced in Flightless Bird, as Shen Yue listened to Su Yunan’s narration, Shen Hui could still keenly feel her own influence on Shen Yue at times.

She couldn’t describe her feelings. She knew it was wrong, knew she should feel guilty about the harm she brought to Shen Yue, yet when she discovered traces of herself in Shen Yue, she still couldn’t help the burst of secret delight. She was very clear that the Shen Yue now did not belong solely to her, but the Shen Yue from the previous timeline, at least for a long period of time, only had each other to rely on.

That was enough.

Later when Su Yunan spoke about how Shen Yue saw the beauty of landscapes all over the world after that, then returned to Flightless Bird, Shen Hui didn’t even need to think before deducing what the ending was.

Just as Su Yunan was about to start his second round of telling her about the pain of being abandoned, with his skill still on cooldown, he was interrupted by Shen Hui again: “I know you feel really aggrieved now but don’t feel aggrieved first, I want to ask you a question.”

Su Yunan: “...ask.”

“Do you like Shen Yue?”

“I like her.”

“Mm, you have good taste. I like Shen Yue too, Shen Yue is really cute.”

Speaking of this, Su Yunan perked up: “When she was at Building 1, Ma Sha combed her hair and she was very well-behaved the whole time.”

“Oh really? Any other examples?”

“She doesn’t really like wearing purple clothes, but you insisted on making her wear them anyway. She wouldn’t refuse but would keep looking at you, and ask you if you were done every two minutes after that.”

“Mm...cute, I’ll have to try that.” Shen Hui carefully recorded everything in her notebook while continuing to wring Su Yunan dry: “Keep remembering and reporting.”

For a full two days, besides eating and sleeping, Su Yunan kept talking and Shen Hui kept writing.

Finally, Su Yunan’s body recovered to normal, and his memories were also compatible with his brain again, so he wouldn’t become an idiot anymore.

After confirming Su Yunan was alright physically, Shen Hui waved her hand grandly and decided what they would do next.

“You’ve worked hard these two days, let’s go find Shen Yue.”

When it came to this step, Su Yunan was a little cowardly instead. He still didn’t know how to face the now engaged Shen Yue.

“Go, go to do what?”

“Go comb Shen Yue’s hair. I watched some videos online and learned a hair bun style, you can be my assistant.”

Shen Hui’s word was law, so that was how things went back to the beginning, turning into what Tang Yi saw.

Showing up at the Shen Family on the 14th.

And if you looked closely, there was a clearly not simple to deal with Shen Hui following behind.
