Beep… beep…
A man sat beside a bed in a quiet ward. He stroked the pale face of the person lying on the bed.
He held her hand and rubbed it on his face. His gaze was gentle.
“Why… why can’t you look at me?”
Si Chen was filled with remorse.
If he hadn’t made her angry that night, she would not have logged in to the game.
If she didn’t log in to the game, this would not happen.
If he didn’t bring the login pod back, she would be fine.
It was all his fault.
It was all his fault…
The doctor said that there was only a small possibility that she would wake up. However, he still kept the hope that maybe… just maybe, she was pulling a trick on him.
She would wake up soon.
“If you are not angry anymore, wake up and look at me.” Si Chen’s voice was hoarse. “I beg you, please wake up. I will not anger you anymore.”
Si Chen controlled his emotions. “I will find you again at night. Wait for me.”
Si Chen spent most of his time in the hospital. In the morning, he would talk to Ming Shu, and after work, he would come back again.
His life only consisted of work and Ming Shu.
His busy work schedule could prevent him from overthinking.
However, at night, he would be unable to contain his emotions anymore.
The man called Si Chen: “Mr. Si, are you still unable to forget her?”
Si Chen asked him, “How can I forget?”
The man went silent for a moment. “Do you know why the Yunxing Project succeeded?”
Si Chen looked at him. Something stirred in his eyes.
The man slowly continued, “Miss Ji He gave us many opinions and made many changes to the Yunxing Project. She participated in the later stages of the project too. But, she requested all this to be kept a secret from you. She didn’t want you to know.”
The man sighed. “I don’t know what she was thinking, but I feel that it is better to tell you. You are a lucky person. Miss Ji He is lucky, too.”
Many images appeared in Si Chen’s mind.
She would call people behind his back and hang up the moment he came. He looked at her call history. It was with Yun Yu, Xiang Wan, Yellow Crane Returning West or Tonight’s Moon and the rest of the team. There were no unfamiliar numbers.
She always visited the NS Club. He asked Wang Heyang to spy on her. Wang Heyang told him that she would always look at something and discuss it with her teachers about certain things. Wang Heyang thought that it was a thesis she was writing.
He didn’t notice all these small details.
“She… When did she find you?”
The man recalled, “During the second stage when the project failed for the 29th time.”
At that time, he was under huge pressure and would always throw tantrums. She would accompany him quietly.
She had the competition, but she had to think about the project too… She even had to accompany him.
Si Chen suddenly felt some difficulty breathing.
It was as though someone clenched his heart in their fist.
“Mr. Si, are you all right?” The man held him worriedly.
“I, I am fine.” Si Chen retracted his hand. He slowly walked forward. His back seemed lonely.
The man wanted to say something, but didn’t. In the end, he just sighed.
Si Chen returned to his villa. Because the project succeeded, the villa was empty now.
However, he didn’t move his room down. That place was where she lived before.
He would still buy many snacks. The things that she used were still there. He tried to fool himself that she was still here. She was just beside him.
She would not be so cruel and leave him alone.
Si Chen looked at her laptop. It was password-locked. She seldom used her laptop, so he didn’t know her password.
Si Chen tried her birthday. It failed.
He tried her name. It was incorrect, too.
He entered her name and her birthday together. It was still wrong.
He typed something slowly. When he pressed the enter button, his hand shook.
The screen was unlocked.
Si Chen suddenly covered his face and shrunk into the seat. Warm liquid flowed down his face.
Wife, I am hurting so much.
After a long time, Si Chen pulled the laptop closer to him with shaking hands.
The wallpaper was a photo of him sleeping. It was taken in the greenhouse. Half of his face was revealed. The sunlight was just right, and it made the entire picture feel warm and gentle.
“Liar,” Si Chen scolded in a low voice.
Besides a few software, there were only some documents on the screen. They were labeled with numbers.
All of them were password-locked.
Si Chen tried to enter the login password.
It was wrong…
What could it be?
Si Chen tried again. It was still not right.
The system reminded him that there was only one chance left.
He didn’t dare to type a password randomly.
He got up and went to look for Ming Shu’s things. Si Chen was surprised when he saw only one box.
She had so few things.
Si Chen looked through the things that she left behind. There was a photobook at the bottom. It was given to her by Xiang Wan.
Si Chen flipped opened the photobook. Most of it was photos of friends and her in the game. There were some photos of Qingqiu Zhong and the rest of her team.
Si Chen looked at every single photo. Suddenly, he stopped.
A handsome man was holding his hand and looking up.
The angle was good, so he was able to see the gentleness in the man’s eyes.
Moon Temple…
This was where he confessed to her that day.
Si Chen flipped through the photobook. There were no other photos after that. However, there were some words at the back of the photo.
I only believe that you like him now.>
Si Chen looked at the words. He placed down the photobook after a long time and entered the passcode.
The circle in the middle kept spinning.
Si Chen looked at it nervously. Finally, the documents were revealed.
However, there was only some useless information in the folder. The rest of the documents contained similar things.
Si Chen didn’t possess any more hope as he clicked on the last document.
There was no information in this document. There was only a picture.
It was a picture of a pair of rings. An address was written beside it.
Si Chen took his car keys and rushed out of the villa. He dashed through a few red lights and managed to reach the location on the photo. The other party was just closing up. Si Chen had to make a few calls before the other party let him in.
“This is an order from a lady known as Miss Ji. But, she didn’t say when she will come and collect it.” The person-in-charge placed a box in front of Si Chen. “The lady said that if she didn’t collect it by the 25th of October, we should send it out.”
The person-in-charge showed Si Chen the address on the card.
It was the address of his villa.
October 25 was his birthday.
The person-in-charge looked at the man. He didn’t know if the man was feeling elated or depressed. A water droplet appeared on the transparent glass beside the box.
The person-in-charge was slightly surprised.
“Liar… liar!”
The tall and handsome man seemed to have been affected, heavily and started crying like a little child who lost something precious.
You can have both the honor and me. I hope to live through life and death with you.
