Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person
Chapter 53: World 1 Extra·Half Life
In the winter of his twentieth year, Ji Yu found the girl he was supposed to spend his life with.
"She is so gentle and kind." Ji Yu rested her chin on her hands, and just a little recollection of the details of their time together made her face light up with sweetness.
"Her teaching is also exceptionally patient and meticulous. Even if I get all the listening comprehension questions wrong and ask her the same question repeatedly, she never gets angry."
Wen Ying said, "How could the listening comprehension be completely wrong?"
Chino then made him roll off the hanging chair he had bought, and abruptly asked, "How much do you pay her per lesson?"
The girl Ji Yu likes is the English major's tutor for the CET-4 exam that he hired.
Over the years, thanks to Chi Ye's financial power, the deterrent effect of Ji Yu's mother's sales pitch, and Wen Ying's diligent protection, Ji Yu lived up to expectations and was admitted to university.
However, his English remains as bad as ever.
Ji Yu's expression became slightly unnatural: "How can I just tell you how much it costs, Mr. President? Are you checking the market price for Sister English?"
"..." Wen Ying put down her book. "I'm sorry, I changed my major when I took the postgraduate entrance exam. I'm completely unfamiliar with English now. In the future, I will fight against evil forces in court as many times as I can."
Ji Yu thought this was incredibly inspiring: "Sister Lawyer, you are a rising star!"
As he spoke, he wanted to give her a high five.
Chi Ye buried the third potted plant that had died this month in the ground: "Five thousand for one class."
Ji Yu's hand froze, her face filled with shock: "Such a huge number, how is that possible? What were you thinking?"
Chi Ye: "I give you 20,000 yuan every month, but the day before yesterday you were crying poor to Wen Ying."
He said casually, "It's only the middle of the month."
Wen Ying: "..." She looked down at her book, it was none of her business.
Ji Yu fell to the ground in shock. Chi Ye, afraid that he would damage the flowers, moved the flowerpot away.
Ji Yu said sadly, "But I can't bear to see her eating the 12-yuan clay pot rice noodles and 8-yuan grilled cold noodles in the cafeteria every day. When you love someone, you want to give them the best. President, you've been through this, so you should understand me."
Chiye: "..."
He took out his phone: "This is the last time I'll transfer money to you this month. Don't bother my wife."
Ji Yu was overjoyed and immediately got up to leave their little nest.
Before leaving, he glanced at the flowerpot on the ground and said, "President, it seems like neither you nor my sister-in-law are very good at growing flowers. Why don't you try growing something else?"
Ikeno didn't say anything.
Wen Ying turned her face around: "For example?"
"Kittens, puppies, snakes, birds, and some people in our dorm even keep cockroaches!" Ji Yu made a heart shape with her hands and said dramatically, "Of course, you can keep me too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bag of trash appeared in his arms.
Ikeno made a "get lost" gesture to him.
The study became quiet, and sunlight streamed in from outside, filling the room with warmth.
Wen Ying sat where she was, looked up at him, and smiled: "I don't keep cats or dogs, nor do I want to keep a troublesome child like Ji Yu. Keeping you is enough for me."
Ikeno lowered his body, resting his head on her knees, letting her stroke him casually.
The world has turned for many years, and they have stayed together, never having the thought of taking on another life. They only need each other to withstand all the unknowns and storms.
When he was sixty, the first storm came, and Chi Ye fell ill.
He has rarely been sick over the years, maintains a regular schedule, and is in good health; he rarely even catches a minor cold.
The only time he almost died from an illness occurred in the spring when he was twenty-two. He had a headache and fever, and was in a daze for a long time. Unable to bear the disappointment, he acted coquettishly towards Wen Ying.
But at such an old age, it seems like it's no longer appropriate for someone to act cute.
Wen Ying wept by his bedside, and a group of people stood around the ward.
Chino sighed, reached out and wiped away her tears as he always did, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her as if no one else was around: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll try my best to live well and healthily, until..."
He paused, originally intending to say he would live to be 120, but then felt that the promise was too long and probably not easy to fulfill.
So he pinched her cheek again and said, "I will live to be seventy-five, and with you."
He lived to the age of seventy-five without illness or disaster.
He didn't manage to do that; instead, at the age of seventy, he passed away peacefully on a warm spring afternoon.
Ikeno closed his eyes, a happy smile on his lips. He slept peacefully in the arms of his beloved, and she held him tightly until the very last moment.
After his passing, Wen Ying, accompanied by Ji Yu's family, held a low-key yet dignified funeral for Chi Ye.
The sun shone exceptionally well that day, and not a single drop of rain fell. Wen Ying was impeccably dressed and remained calm throughout, seeing off all the guests.
Then Jiyu's child drove her home.
Over the years, their home has been filled with countless items, piling up in every corner of the house, both upstairs and downstairs.
Chi Ye's study was also filled with treasures; they had spent the rest of their lives together, and every compartment held traces of their love.
Wen Ying stood in front of the niche and took out every item placed there to wipe away the dust.
The phone rang beside me, and the news broadcasted Ikeno's life story: "His lover, in accordance with his will, donated all his property to the country without compensation..."
"Furthermore, over the years, Mr. Chi and Ms. Wen have been actively involved in philanthropy, donating to numerous schools and dedicating themselves to the protection of stray animals..."
Every sound in this world is his will.
He was born without a moment of glory or fortune, and he left without taking anything with him.
The CCTV cameras have not been removed. Over the years, the screens and cables have been replaced several times, all with the latest and clearest models.
But on that screen, there will never be another person's image again.
The thick one-way window blocked out all outside sounds, and a sudden cold snap arrived, bringing down cold rain.
Wen Ying could no longer hold back and knelt down on the carpet.
His hands began to tremble, and he covered his face.
The fear that Ikeno had spent nearly half her life trying to escape finally enveloped her at this moment.
It turns out that truly empathizing is so difficult.
Wen Ying lived alone in Chi Ye's world for five years before the system finally appeared.
It felt ashamed: "I've heard about Ikeno's story. So many people couldn't handle the male lead, yet I foolishly entrusted him to you."
The system asked: "You two were very happy together throughout your lives, getting along very well and almost never arguing. Did you eventually change him?"
Wen Ying shook her head and said, "No."
He doesn't need her to change.
Perhaps loving someone doesn't mean changing them.
Instead, it's about feeling the same pain when he's heartbroken, and giving equal love when you receive it.
Wen Ying's gaze remained tender and lingering on Chi Ye's soul from beginning to end.
And so from that moment on, she was plunged into an endless cycle of forgiveness and a shared journey for the rest of her life.
The system recorded in a monologue: "[He didn't do anything wrong afterward; instead, he became a philanthropist. The protagonist of this world eventually accepted his fate and found his redemption.]"
Accept your fate?
Wen Ying's vision blurred as she recalled Chi Ye lying in the hospital bed, smiling as he changed his words to "seventy-five years old".
The system said: "Let's go, let's go to the next world."
Wen Ying closed her eyes and felt her body grow heavy.
The system then said: "Do you want to seal your memories here? You seem to be in a lot of pain, but perhaps forgetting them will lessen the pain."
Wen Ying remained silent for a long time.
"I promised him."
Her consciousness began to fade, and in a daze, she heard Ikeno holding her, his voice choked with emotion yet forcing a smile as he whispered in her ear, "Dried flowers are much easier to preserve than fresh flowers..."
"What can I do to make you remember me forever..."
What was her promise back then? I will remember you, I will love you forever.
She did it.
He was the same.
