"In this respect, you are no different from before. You always speak in a mysterious way." Su Xiaoyan said softly to Chu Tianjiao, "I remember that in the past, you always made up some irrelevant words. Sometimes you said that you were a bandit wanted internationally, sometimes you said that you were a killer living in this city under an assumed name, and sometimes you said that you were an agent whose mission was to maintain world peace and explore the true meaning of the universe..."

"You believe it all?" Chu Tianjiao also remembered the past and smiled for the first time.

"I'd be crazy if I believed you!" Su Xiaoyan rolled her eyes coquettishly. "No matter how ignorant a girl is, she wouldn't believe these nonsense, right? At that time, I just thought you were interesting, humorous, and good at telling stories. I just listened to these things as stories, and they were quite humorous as stories."

Chu Tianjiao tilted his head slightly, a slightly bitter smile on his lips, because only he knew that what he said was true. Thief, killer, agent... These seemingly fantastic stories were all his real identities and experiences, but he couldn't tell Su Xiaoyan. He could only use this joking, story-like way to tell the woman he loved most the words that he had hidden in his heart and kept secret for so many years.

How ironic.

"Yeah, those lies, are they interesting... Only interesting men can attract ignorant little girls." Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling and murmured softly, "But the little girl will grow up, and one day she will understand that handsome men are not a necessity in life, and men who can coax people are not a necessity in life. In a woman's life, the most important thing is always stability."

"Do you really think that all women think so?" Su Xiaoyan asked softly.

"I... don't know." Chu Tianjiao paused and shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe I don't understand a woman as well as I thought."

When she said this, Su Xiaoyan actually suddenly glanced at Chu Tianjiao, but Chu Tianjiao had been deliberately avoiding looking at Su Xiaoyan, so he ignored the possible eye contact this time.

"Do you think all women in this world are the same? Do you still think that women will never change?" Su Xiaoyan said softly, "Women, when they love you, they are very simple animals. When they don't love you, they are probably more complicated than the most difficult math problem in the world."

At this time, Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but glance at Su Xiaoyan. At this moment, he really realized that this woman had really changed... No, maybe this woman has always been like this. Under her heartless appearance, maybe she has always hidden a soft and delicate side. Is there really a heartless person in this world? She treats all the awesome stories you tell as interesting stories, never questioning or exposing them, because she loves you, but after you leave her, do you still expect her to stay there forever waiting for you and always keep the way you remember?

Maybe it is really like what Su Xiaoyan just said, there is no one in this world who cannot survive without another person. She, Su Xiaoyan, can survive without Chu Tianjiao. Didn’t Chu Tianjiao live a rich and wonderful life before he met Su Xiaoyan?
“I never thought that I would hear such words from you one day.” Chu Tianjiao said with emotion, “If you were the you now and met me at that time, you would not be fooled by me again, right?”

"Who knows?" Su Xiaoyan gave an open answer, "Do you think you already understand women?"

“No.” Chu Tianjiao found that he, who used to be eloquent, could only beg for mercy in front of this woman, so he quickly changed the subject, “Actually, I was a little afraid to come today.”

As soon as he said this, Chu Tianjiao wanted to slap himself. If there was an undo button in front of him, he would click it without hesitation... But it was too late, because Su Xiaoyan heard this sentence clearly.

"Why? Because you feel guilty?" Su Xiaoyan was not angry, but nodded calmly, "You should feel guilty. At that time, my relatives, friends, and Chu Zihang's grandmother all scolded you for being an ungrateful man. They all said that I was blind to follow you and gave birth to a child for you. After that, you ignored us. To be honest, I was laughed at by my relatives quite a lot."

“I’m sorry…” Chu Tianjiao lowered his head, his nails clenched into his fists almost digging into his flesh. In fact, his heart had been clenched for a long time. “It’s my problem… I’m an asshole.”

"You are what you are, a complete bastard. If you feel guilty about these things, you deserve it. If you don't feel guilty, then you are even worse than a bastard." Su Xiaoyan paused, "But I don't really hate you that much now. It's not that time has diluted everything, nor that my life is good enough now. In fact, to be honest, I always feel that I haven't thought about you for a long time."

"I'm telling you the truth. I still remember that during the time we were apart, I often dreamed about you. When I woke up in the middle of the night, my tears wet the pillow. I woke up crying every time. At that time, I really hated you. I hated you for appearing in my life, I hated you for lying to me, I hated you for not having the responsibility of a man, and I hated you for disappearing from my life without a word." Su Xiaoyan said, "But then I don't know when, I seemed to have forgotten you. Not gradually, but suddenly, as if you had never appeared in my life. Even when I saw Chu Zihang, I couldn't quite remember you. Although you did disappear for a long time, after all, we have been together for several years and have a son. How could I suddenly forget about you? I think it may be because I am more heartless than you."

No, no, Chu Tianjiao shouted in his heart. On that rainy night seven years ago, he really disappeared from this world, and only a few people remembered him... That was the power of "God", the tampered reality, the modified world line. There were very few hybrids in this world who could resist that kind of power, let alone an ordinary woman like Su Xiaoyan.

"But there is something very strange." Su Xiaoyan changed the subject, "Didn't I get sick some time ago? My husband even hired someone to take care of me at home, but I don't have much memory of that person. The doctor said that I had a slight amnesia due to a concussion, and I seem to have been sent to a certain hospital."

Chu Tianjiao's heart trembled. Su Xiaoyan was sent to Sacred Heart Hospital. Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei had both told him about this. When he heard about this, his heart was in a knot.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but ask Su Xiaoyan with concern, "Do you have a headache? Or do you feel like you forgot something? If you can't remember, don't think about it."

"No, I just suddenly remembered something." Su Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "I remembered that during the time when I was sick, I had nightmares every night. Do you know what I dreamed about?"

"What?" Chu Tianjiao asked.

"You." Su Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head and her eyes fell on Chu Tianjiao's face.

This was probably the first time Chu Tianjiao and Su Xiaoyan looked into each other's eyes since he entered the room. This woman was over 40 years old, with thin, barely noticeable wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. No one in this world could resist the erosion of time, but in Chu Tianjiao's eyes, this woman was still as beautiful as when she was young. Her eyes seemed to smile, and her figure was as graceful as a proud white swan spreading its wings on the stage.

"I...?" Chu Tianjiao murmured. "Well, I had forgotten about it. I always forget it after I finish a dream. I only remember having a sad dream and my pillow was wet with tears when I woke up." Su Xiaoyan looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "I remembered it recently. In those dreams, I dreamed of you."

"You dreamed about me?" Chu Tianjiao still had a dazed expression.

"Yes, I remembered the contents of those dreams these days. I remembered that I saw you driving a car on an endless viaduct, and your favorite song when you were young, 'Heartbreak Hotel', was playing in the car." Su Xiaoyan thought for a moment, "I can't describe the expression on your face, I just felt it was very strange."

"But I know it was you. I wasn't sitting in your passenger seat. It was more like I was watching you from a third-person perspective. You were humming a song, and I didn't know where you were going to drive the car." Su Xiaoyan used her limited language skills to describe the scene in her dream. "The road ahead was submerged in the wind and rain, and I couldn't see the end. You kept driving forward, stepping on the accelerator faster and faster. Gradually, I couldn't keep up with you, so I slapped the windows and the roof hard, but you didn't pay attention to me. I could only watch you get farther and farther away from me until you disappeared on the dark elevated road. It felt like you would never come back."

Chu Tianjiao’s body froze.

"It's weird, isn't it? I've had the same dream for many nights. You drive a black car with a logo of two overlapping mountains. Sometimes the car plays 'Heartbreak Hotel', sometimes 'Hey Judy', and sometimes very sad songs I've never heard of." Su Xiaoyan said, "The ending is always the same. I wake up from the dream when you disappear. Every time I cry, my pillow is soaked. When I wake up, I forget the content of the dream and even forget you."

"Anyway, I feel very strange. We have been apart for such a long time, why do I dream about you?" Su Xiaoyan's eyes were a little absent-minded. She said softly, "Didn't you leave a long time ago? Why do I cry when I dream about you leaving? I don't understand where that inexplicable sadness comes from. I just feel sad every time I wake up, but I forget the scene in the dream and I forget you. Why do I feel sad?"

Is it strange? Of course it is strange, but the strange thing is not Su Xiaoyan’s dream, but that she actually dreamed of Chu Tianjiao.

There are only two people in this world who have the deepest entanglement with Chu Tianjiao. One is Su Xiaoyan, and the other is Chu Zihang. One of them is the woman he loves most in his life, and the other is his son... Needless to say, Chu Zihang is a mixed-race, with half of his blood flowing in his body, and he also has the mark of Odin on his body, so he remembers Chu Tianjiao and that rainy night seven years ago.

But what about Su Xiaoyan? How did she remember Chu Tianjiao? Even if he only appeared in her dreams, she had not experienced the rainy night seven years ago, and she didn't know where Chu Tianjiao had gone. This man who had disappeared from her life long ago actually kept appearing in her dreams on rainy nights in this city... Everyone in the world had forgotten him, but this woman still remembered him. He lived in her subconscious. She didn't know why he left, but she had a premonition of something in her dream. She was so sad about his departure.

This woman, this woman who has always been said to be heartless, actually resisted the rules of "God" with her mortal body!

"Hey, why are you crying?" Su Xiaoyan looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked curiously.

The man who had been sitting upright on the sofa was now in tears and sobbing.

Su Xiaoyan stood up, took papers from the table, and stuffed them into Chu Tianjiao's hands one by one. Later, there was not enough paper, so Su Xiaoyan simply stuffed the whole bag into Chu Tianjiao's arms.

She didn't know why Chu Tianjiao was crying, but she could clearly feel the man's emotions at the moment. Sadness spread in the room like a tide, just like a person who had been walking alone with a mountain on his back. Suddenly one day the mountain on his back was removed, and someone patted him on the back and asked him if he was tired. This sentence touched the softest part of his heart.

After completely drying the corners of his eyes, Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath and whispered to Su Xiaoyan, "I'm sorry."

He was really embarrassed, because any man would feel ashamed to show such a weak side in front of his beloved woman.

"That's nothing, but I think I should be the one crying." Su Xiaoyan said jokingly, "I'm talking to you, isn't it time to find a stable life for yourself? It's not going to work if you keep living like this, right? You can't be single for all these years, right?"

Su Xiaoyan had a joking expression but Chu Tianjiao's expression was more serious than ever.

"It's not because of guilt." Chu Tianjiao suddenly said this.

"What is not guilt?" Su Xiaoyan was stunned.

"Just now I said I didn't dare to come to your house, and you asked me if it was because of guilt. Actually, it's not." Chu Tianjiao looked at a huge wedding photo in a gold frame on the rock wall.

Following Chu Tianjiao's gaze, Su Xiaoyan also saw the photo. In the photo, the young and beautiful her was leaning on the shoulder of a man wearing glasses and a well-ironed suit. They were both smiling and looked like a really happy couple.

Even if Su Xiaoyan is slow, she should understand what Chu Tianjiao means at this moment.

"What's the point of doing this?" Su Xiaoyan's eyes were a little complicated.

"It doesn't need any meaning." Chu Tianjiao shook his head slowly. He took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision.

"I love you." Chu Tianjiao said.
