The laboratory was so quiet that one could clearly hear the other's breathing.

Su Li stared calmly at the man kneeling in front of her, with a calm expression in her eyes, as if the outcome no longer mattered to her.

"That Spring Festival, my parents came home to celebrate. As usual, our two families spent the happiest time of the year together in the courtyard. After the lively time ended, I received the news that I had to leave here." Shen Yubai lowered his head and continued, "My parents are away all year round and rarely come home. The place I go most often is where you are. Over time, my feelings for you are not just about looking after each other between neighbors, but have turned into love. I promised you that after the college entrance examination, I would come to listen to your answer on time, but things are urgent, and I have no choice..."

"What's the last resort?"

"Something happened to my parents' company. Before they came back that year, they were nearly taken over by a rival company. And a week before he came back for the Lunar New Year, my dad was assassinated by their mercenaries because he stole their cake..." Shen Yubai laughed bitterly. "My dad comforted me by saying he was lucky and had a long life, only injuring his arm in that trap. Xiao Li, do you know how scared I was when I saw that horrible scar on my dad's arm? In order to stabilize the company and expose the enemy's actions to the public, my dad decided to settle abroad, so it was time for me to make a choice."

Shen Yubai rubbed his head and laughed at himself: "Maybe there is no choice for me. After all, I am the only one in China, and my family is basically abroad. I have no choice but to settle down abroad with them. Sorry, Xiao Li, I didn't mean to hide this from you."

"But I broke my promise, Shen Yubai." Su Li's voice was very light, but if you listened carefully you could detect the trembling in it.

Shen Yubai didn't dare to look up, afraid to see the other person's tear-soaked face again.

He had no excuse for himself.

He broke his promise. It was he who didn't hear the true feelings of his beloved...

"Then why are you back now?"

Shen Yubai paused and said, "I...can't let you go."

"Are you doing this on purpose?" Su Li sneered, "Do you think you can still hear what I want to say to you if you come back now?"

"I know." Shen Yubai lowered his head in pain: "I know I have no reason to hear it anymore, but I really am worried about you."

Shen Yubai's eyes were slightly red, but he never dared to look up at Su Li's eyes.

"After my father's company stabilizes, I'll have the chance to choose whether to come back, but I'm afraid you'll ignore me..." Shen Yubai's voice choked with sobs: "You said you'd ignore me if I broke my promise."

Neither of them was talking.

Su Li swallowed the bitter saliva, looked forward unconsciously, and said calmly: "I still want to see my father."

Shen Yubai suddenly looked up, revealing his wet and red eyes.

Su Li noticed that she was stunned for a moment, and a part of her heart collapsed inadvertently.

"You're a real man, yet you're crying." Su Li teased.

Shen Yubai said aggrievedly: "What do you know."

"Are you itching for trouble? You want me to continue ignoring you, right?" Su Li pretended to be angry.

Shen Yubai shook his head: "No."

Su Li looked at Shen Yubai for a long time, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

I really want to ask him, will he leave again?

But I don’t know how to start.

Even if he were to leave one day, would he disappear from her world silently, just like he did during the college entrance examination?

Shen Yubai sketched the scene he designed in a notebook: "Here is my first draft."

Su Li handed over the notebook and looked through it.

From the first page to the end, it all records her.

The mood is a bit complicated.

"This is my current way of making amends to you. Uncle's model is already in the design and preparation stages. Soon, the technical staff and I will be able to display Uncle's virtual model. Then you won't need glasses to see Uncle and touch him."

Su Li stared at the manuscript in a daze.

Ever since she attached herself to Su Li, she has been unable to know everything about her. She has to level up like killing monsters to trigger the content she has not mentioned.

Although it is possible to read past memories through a person, they are ultimately just fragments.

Some incoherent fragments can never achieve the effect of knowing the whole story.

Therefore, in her heart now, the appearance of the word "father" always brings bitterness.

Coupled with the heartwarming scenes I just saw, I recalled the changes in Chen Yamei now.

Su Li can't guarantee...

Is it because of my father's departure that my mother became like this...

But how did Dad leave them?

Su Li didn't know.

To be more precise, it is Su Li who doesn't know now.

She is just a soul possessed by the original host. She has no idea what happened to the original host in the past. All she knows is the memories she read based on the people who appeared, and finally pieced together a general understanding.

Moreover, she came here for only one purpose.

That is to change the ending of the original host.

So, what does this matter to her?

"It's okay, you don't have to do this for me." Su Li said in a flat tone.

Shen Yubai frowned instantly: "How could that be?"

Su Li raised her eyes and chuckled: "I didn't come here for these."

Shen Yubai was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly drooped, and his dark eyes revealed a strange light that others could not see.

"I know, it's just that you haven't come to terms with your past yet."

"what?"

Shen Yubai suppressed the emotion in his eyes and turned his head to look at the machine: "Everything is destined. At the moment, you think you are doing it for others, but, you are only doing it for yourself."

How do I explain it?

You belong to this world...

It was already late when Su Li returned to the apartment.

Su Li sat on the sofa and hugged herself, her mind constantly circling around the strange words Shen Yubai said to her.

What does he want to say...

It can't be that she is Su Li.

how can that be possible.

She is Su Shengsheng, who was just "demoted" to this book by the system to rewrite the ending trajectory for the protagonist Su Li. How could it be possible that in the end, she is Su Li?

how come.

Besides, Shen Yubai... she can read related memories through him. He is just a key figure who triggers the plot. How could he be connected to the mysterious system?

This is completely impossible.

Compared to Shen Yubai.

On the contrary, she couldn't even use her skills on Bai Musheng. Isn't that even more weird?

……

So, what's going on?

Who am I...?

A few days later, Su Li and the crew took a leave and went back home.

I've been thinking all night through these past few days.

She always wondered if Su Li's past might be the answer to the mystery.
