Chapter 16 Resilient Innocent Girl × Childhood SweetheartGentle SeniorSubstitute Just Released from
Yu Yao looked carefully, while Shen Yunshan waited quietly.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a surge of nervousness.
Thinking about the conversation he overheard on the rooftop, he roughly knew that Yu Yao, this young girl, had feelings for him.
Shen Yunshan found matters of the heart troublesome just to think about, and besides, his life was nearing its end, and he couldn't bear the affections of a young girl like Yu Yao.
Undeniably, Yu Yao has many admirable qualities; strictly speaking, he had already discovered quite a few even though he had only known her for less than a week.
Even without having met her, one could guess why. After all, even his somewhat obsessive younger brother, Shen Yan, who was full of suspicion and distrust towards others, was attracted to her, which speaks volumes.
If... if he had a healthy body like Shen Yan, or if he and she were childhood sweethearts, perhaps things would be different?
Shen Yunshan was instantly jolted awake when he realized what he was thinking.
He was precocious and didn't have much in common with his peers, nor did he envy anyone's life or body.
Although his life was short, he had done everything that interested him and had no other concerns about gain or loss, so it didn't matter whether he died early or late.
How could I suddenly have such an absurd thought of wanting to become someone else? It must be because my recent experiences have been too bizarre, and I've been led astray.
Shen Yunshan cleared his mind, suppressed any inappropriate thoughts, and waited for Yu Yao to finish reading the report.
Yu Yao looked at it very carefully, lost in thought as she read.
She brought up last night's events several times today without avoiding them, and Shen Yunshan didn't react any differently. She knew it was just part of the script and didn't apply to her.
The NPCs wouldn't know about this, but Shen Yunshan wasn't even from the novel's world, so he didn't notice anything unusual.
So he's essentially no different from an NPC living in a novel's world?
But for this person to become a target of a mission, there must be something special about them, right?
She had already tested V09, and from V09's behavior, it was clear that he didn't know Shen Yunshan wasn't from the fictional world.
When asked why she didn't recommend getting close, V09 only said it was her intuition, that she felt Shen Yunshan was dangerous.
A V09, a mysterious person, and Lin Nian, who appeared mysteriously and died inexplicably—these things are shrouded in mystery.
Yu Yao couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she decided to complete the strategy mission first.
After looking at her for a long time, she finally looked up, her expression serious.
"Hmm, it seems pretty serious, so let's start dating."
Shen Yunshan was completely bewildered by her actions.
Is there any causal relationship between this?
Yu Yao could tell at a glance that he was slow-witted.
"Are you stupid? Don't you understand? You're about to die. If we don't talk about this now, it'll be too late. Let's start today."
As she spoke, Yu Yao picked up her phone and glanced at the date.
"This is our first love anniversary, let's make a good record of it."
Shen Yunshan was so stunned by being called stupid for the first time in his life that he didn't even realize it before he saw Yu Yao already making arrangements on her own.
She can talk endlessly about dates, what to do, and how to celebrate anniversaries.
The key point is that Shen Yunshan almost actually listened to it.
Realizing what was happening, he quickly interrupted.
"Stop! I disagree!"
Yu Yao was making plans when she was suddenly interrupted, and she was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, he lowered his eyes.
"you do not like me?"
Shen Yunshan paused, feeling a pang of sadness seeing the girl's dejected expression. But how could he put it? It had nothing to do with whether he liked her or not.
Yu Yao didn't even want to hear his answer; she was lost in thought.
"It's understandable that you don't like me. I really am a terrible person. It seems like no one who gets close to me ends up well. My mother died young, my father died right in front of me, and Xu Yan's misfortune was also caused by me..."
Shen Yunshan looked at the person lost in their own thoughts and felt a pang of sadness. He comforted them, saying:
"You're a good person, so you should find someone suitable to have a proper relationship with, instead of me, a person who's about to die. Do you understand?"
Yu Yao hung her head and said, "I understand. You still dislike me, don't like me, and don't want to date me."
This just doesn't make sense. Shen Yunshan sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I don't dislike you, and I don't despise you."
"You have......"
And so the back-and-forth conversation continued.
After a while, Shen Yunshan leaned on the sofa, his head aching, while Yu Yao across from him was overjoyed.
"From today onwards, you are my boyfriend."
A strange feeling flashed through Shen Yunshan's mind. He had still lost to Yu Yao. It was completely illogical. He didn't know how he had agreed in such a muddled way. Now it was too late to regret it.
Yu Yao didn't care what he was thinking. Looking at his excessively pale face, she took advantage of his unpreparedness and pinched his cheek.
Shen Yunshan was so startled that he almost stood up reflexively.
Yu Yao wouldn't let him off the hook, "Why is your face so red? Did I use too much force?"
He quickly withdrew his hand, looking somewhat apologetic.
Shen Yunshan calmed down for a moment and said in a composed voice, "It's hot inside."
After hesitating for a moment, he got up, took the medicine he had bought earlier, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Yu Yao. He didn't know how to start the conversation.
Last night was an accident, and he didn't want any more accidents. This time, he had no selfish motives; he was indeed a dying man, so what selfish motives could he have? But he couldn't let Yu Yao, a young girl in the prime of her life, suffer.
They had only just confirmed their relationship, and the next second he made her take medicine. Even Shen Yunshan felt like he wasn't human.
Seeing Yu Yao pick up the medicine and glance at it, Shen Yunshan opened his mouth, "I'm sorry."
Yu Yao didn't hesitate at all; after seeing what it was, she ate it directly.
He finished eating and remained silent for a while, then his expression changed.
"Now that we're boyfriend and girlfriend, let's settle the accounts between couples."
Shen Yunshan was confused for a moment when he heard this, but he still went along with her.
Yu Yao pointed to the computer on the table, looking both arrogant and awkward. Shen Yunshan had never seen her like this before, and found it quite novel.
Quietly watch what she has to say.
Yu Yao pouted, "So you checked the surveillance footage and investigated me this morning because you don't trust me and suspect that I'm plotting against you?"
She was furious; her boyfriend suspected she had ulterior motives.
Shen Yunshan felt a little guilty after being asked that question. She was right in the first place, but from her current position, it was understandable that she was angry.
After a moment of silence, he said earnestly, "I'm sorry."
Seeing his intimidated expression, Yu Yao felt a surge of accomplishment. Her composure crumbled instantly, a smile spreading across her face. She suddenly leaned closer to him, her voice brimming with a mixture of pride and shyness, and said:
"How was it? Did I do a good job?"
Shen Yunshan looked bewildered, and Yu Yao continued:
"I've seen other people's relationships go like this. It's our first time, so I don't know if I'm doing a good job. If not, I'll learn and try to improve..."
Looking at her expectant expression, and as she kept muttering to herself, Shen Yunshan felt his heart skip a beat, and then it started beating faster and faster...
