After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

During the three days of the final exams, in order to prevent reporters from blocking Yunxiu, Shi Yu simply let her live in the school and found a single dormitory for her, and she would move out after the exams.

Yunxiu was absent-minded and even felt dazed during the exam. She always felt that the recent events were strangely smooth and not normal.

After the last biology exam, Yunxiu went to the dormitory to pack his things and waited for Shi Yu to pick him up at the usual place.

"Aren't you going back yet?" Zhou Xi appeared beside Yunxiu out of nowhere, obviously surprised.

She didn't say anything and didn't want to pay attention to him. She used silence to express her rejection and signaled him to leave quickly.

Zhou Xi hesitated to speak, feeling her resistance and alienation, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart.

"Xiu Xiu..."

"Shut up," she shouted impatiently, "You can't call me that. Just call me by my name."

"What are you talking about?" Shi Yu walked towards the two of them and said with a half-smile, "You seem unhappy."

Hearing his voice, Yunxiu's gloomy expression improved, and she took the initiative to hold Shi Yu's hand.

"You're here, come on, let's go back."

Shi Yu touched Yunxiu's hair with an exceptionally gentle and soft movement. He glanced at Zhou Xi lightly, with a sinister look in his eyes that sounded like a warning but not a warning at all.

The two of them left side by side, looking very good together.

Zhou Xi covered his chest, feeling like he would spit out blood at any moment. He didn't know if it was because they were angry or because he was jealous.

After the exams, winter vacation came and Yunxiu had plenty of time to spend with Shiyu every day. She remembered that the final reward of the system had not been used yet, so she asked if it could be redeemed now.

Xiao Ai Ai had basically left Yunxiu and had already started taking on the tasks of the next world. There was a delay of several hours before there was a response.

Yunxiu kept his words short and concise, asking the system to stop monitoring Shiyu to ensure his personal safety.

Xiao Ai Ai said it was no problem. After redeeming the reward, the system would be completely separated from the host. She asked her if she was sure she wanted the reward.

Yunxiu said yes without hesitation.

After Xiao Ai Ai redeemed the rewards, she withdrew her consciousness from this world and formally said goodbye to Yunxiu.

*

The New Year is approaching.

When Yunxiu was purchasing wool, she always felt that someone was following her. She looked back repeatedly but found nothing wrong.

"it's me."

A clear voice rang in his ears, as cold as the first snowflakes breaking. Yunxiu hadn't seen him for a long time and almost forgot that there was a Shen Que in this world.

The decline of the Meng family seemed to be caused by the Shen family behind the scenes, but in fact, it was just the Shi family who manipulated everything through him. Being led by the nose, Shen Que will also have such a day.

Yunxiu said coldly, "Go away."

She had already completed all the tasks, so there was no need to get entangled with Shen Que anymore. It was boring, a waste of time, and would easily make Shi Yu unhappy.

She had expected Yunxiu to react like this. Being upset was one thing, but Shen Que was not surprised. Now her heart and eyes were filled with only Shi Yu, so when she saw those who had hurt her in the past, she naturally had a bad face.

"You come with me."

Shen Que didn't say anything and dragged Yunxiu away. After turning around twice, they arrived at a coffee shop.

He pressed Yunxiu down on the sofa and said, "Don't be afraid. Given the current situation, you know I can't do anything to you."

This made sense, and Yunxiu really didn't move.

"Then tell me quickly, I still need to go home." She tried to speak calmly, hoping that Shen Que would express himself concisely, but she was a little hesitant to listen to him.

Yunxiu looked into Shen Que's eyes and had an inexplicable bad feeling, as if he had discovered something.

"I think you have the right to know," Shen Que pushed the coffee in front of Yun Xiu, his voice low and slow, "You look a lot like someone."

It turned out that he was just talking nonsense again. Yunxiu thought he was crazy, sneered, and stood up to leave.

Shen Que obviously didn't want to give her this chance, so he stood in front of Yun Xiu and stopped her from leaving. "Take a look at the picture, and you'll understand."

Having said that, he didn't waste any time and took out a dozen photos from his pocket and handed them to Yunxiu.

She took it with a sigh, sat down and started looking at them one by one.

"As you can see, these are all sketches," Shen Que said. "The latest sketch was drawn three years ago, and all of them were drawn by Shi Yu."

"I promise, the time and the people are correct."

"This woman looks 90% like you, but she's not you. Her name is Yunwu."

Yunxiu flipped through the photos in her hand. The more she looked at them, the more suffocated she felt. A deep feeling of powerlessness swept over her, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was cold.

Noticing Yunxiu's expression turning ugly, Shen Qun achieved half of her goal and curled up the corners of her lips and smiled.

It seems that she really doesn't know.

"This Yunwu must have known Shiyu since they were very young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drawn so many sketches of him, all depicting his growth process from childhood to adulthood."

"Do you understand what I want to say? Shi Yu is just using you as a substitute!"

Shen Que used up all his courage to say the last sentence. While exposing others, he also implied himself. In the final analysis, it was just the same despicable behavior.

Yunxiu threw all the photos into the trash can. She didn't want to say anything more and looked at Shen Que coldly.

substitute?

How is this possible? Shi Yu would not treat her as a substitute. According to Shen Que's nonsense, although the person in the photo is called Yunwu and his eyes do not look like his own, Yunxiu is sure that the person is herself.

This means that when...

Thinking of this, Yunxiu suddenly understood many incomprehensible and strange things. She stood up and walked out, wanting to go back to find Shiyu to ask clearly.

Shen Que was worried that she would lose control of her emotions and get into trouble, so he pulled her and said he would take her home. Yun Xiu was so angry that she shook his hand away.

"Get away!" Yunxiu yelled impatiently. How could there be such a shameless person as Shen Que? "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. This Yunwu is me. There's no other reason for my eyes to look like that. Don't flatter yourself. Shiyu is not your kind of person, and you don't have the qualifications to be compared with him."

After saying that, Yunxiu ran to the nearby parking lot and called the driver to come back.

Shen Que stared at the direction she left, stunned in place and muttered to himself: "How is it possible..."

After returning to Jiangnan Garden, Yunxiu remembered that Shiyu was on a business trip and would not be back until tomorrow.

She walked straight to Shi Yu's room, rummaged through the drawers for a long time, and finally found a familiar photo at the bottom layer of the drawer.

Unlike the ones provided by Shen Que, this photo is also a painting, but the colors are bright.

Same, but the eyes are not quite the same.

Other places are no different from myself.

Yunxiu's intuition told him that the cloud and mist that Shen Que was talking about was referring to himself. The reason why the name was different was most likely related to the original world.

So, is Shi Yu actually also a person who traveled through the book?
