Yi Chengxuan fell silent again. From the moment Yue Xin came in, he had been led by the nose. Moreover, she had used the methods he often used. Yue Xin seemed to be another him, so there was only one possibility.
Yi Chengxuan asked, “What did I say?”
Yue Xin didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said, “You said that you liked heroes since you were young and wanted to be a hero.”
Yi Chengxuan was stunned, and his ears quickly turned red.
Yue Xin calmly took out her phone and took a close-up of Yi Chengxuan’s ear. How fun!
Yi Chengxuan instructed, “Delete the photo.”
Yue Xin retorted, “No.”
“Then add me on WeChat and save the photo with me.”
Yue Xin looked at Yi Chengxuan’s WeChat profile picture. It was actually a cat, not a dog.
“Brother Yi, is this you?”
Yi Chengxuan nodded. “Yes, this is my private WeChat. You can use this to contact me.”
After Yue Xin deleted the photo, Yi Chengxuan changed the topic. “Why did you ask me to save Yue Qing? You should know that she’s very dangerous.” Yue Xin asked, “Do you think Qingqing is still the same as you remember?”
Yi Chengxuan immediately knew that Yue Xin had also transmigrated back, and he was the one who had asked her to come back. A little girl had actually infected Yue Qing with popularity. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Yue Qing had indeed changed.
“She’s certainly different, but she doesn’t look as if she needs rescuing.”
Yue Xin shook her head and told her about the human experiments that Yue Qing had experienced. “If you want to save people, you have to solve the root cause of Qingqing’s condition.”
Yi Chengxuan was silent for a moment before relenting. “What do you want me to do?”
“Catch those two human experimenters and let Qingqing watch them die with her own eyes.”
Yi Chengxuan looked up. “You want them to die?”
“Only when they die can Qingqing see a better life. I’ll accompany her. You don’t have to worry.”
Yi Chengxuan weighed the pros and cons and remained silent for a long time.
The next class was a cooking class. Yue Xin decided to end it quickly.
“Don’t think about it. Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe in yourself. You cried and insisted that I come back, and now…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Yi Chengxuan interrupted Yue Xin.
Yue Xin said, “I never talk nonsense. You look good when you cry. Look in the mirror next time.”
“You, you…” Yi Chengxuan was completely stunned.
Yue Xin got up and left quickly.
Yi Chengxuan pondered for a long time in the principal’s office alone. Combined with the taste of tea, the things he was afraid of, and the matter of crying… He felt that he might really succeed if he chose Yue Xin. Hence, he sent a message to Yue Xin.
After her cooking class, Yue Xin saw the message.
[Two months. I’ll catch those two.] Yue Xin replied: [I wish you victory.]
[Thank you.]
Two months later, Yi Chengxuan sent a message to Yue Xin: [Fortunately, I didn’t fail my mission.]
Yue Xin replied: [I’m honored.]
These short words allowed Yi Chengxuan to see a scene that he had never dared to hope for.
The two of them were captured. Their names were Sun Rong and Zhou Haichao.
They were both Chinese and childhood sweethearts. When they were 19 years old, the two of them graduated from the number one school in China as PhD students at the same time. They had once worked as exchange students overseas at public expense. During that time, they were chosen by foreign institutions which promised to provide them with funding for research. Therefore, after graduation, the two of them used overseas funds to conduct research that went against human ethics in China. Fourteen years ago, they were exposed and chased by China. They fled China under the support of foreign forces until Yi Chengxuan discovered their traces. Of course, this was only public knowledge. Yi Chengxuan relied on multiple memories to capture them.
The more this was the case, the more impressive he felt Yue Xin was, especially since he had a new set of memories a few days ago. In that timeline, Yue Lingyun was dead, and he had failed again. And now, Yue Xin’s appearance had changed many things. He also realized that Yue Xin had transmitted memories after all his timelines. What she saw and endured was more than what he had gone through. Yue Xin’s appearance gave him a direction to move forward in a fog. She was simply his hero.
Yi Chengxuan took the documents to the Yue family to look for Yue Lingchen. The two of them talked for a long time. Under Yue Lingchen’s lead, he went to look for Yue Qing.
Yue Qing was doing research in the laboratory, and Yue Lingchen asked Yue Xin to bring Yi Chengxuan in.
After Yue Lingchen left, Yi Chengxuan walked to Yue Xin’s side and looked at her as if he was asking for credit. “I’ve done everything you asked me to do.”
Yue Xin praised mechanically, “You’re amazing.”
Yi Chengxuan didn’t get the response he wanted. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw Yue Xin’s side profile and instantly sensed that Yue Xin was in a very low mood. Why?
He asked tentatively, “Do you know who your biological parents are?”
Hearing this, Yue Xin stopped in her tracks with a dark expression.
Yi Chengxuan was stunned. He felt that there was an abyss hidden in Yue Xin’s eyes. This was Yue Xin’s true state.
“I know. And I know why I was born.”
Yi Chengxuan’s heart tightened. He suddenly felt the suffocating feeling he had been experiencing from Yue Xin. Yue Xin knew everything..
