Beep… beep…
A man sat beside a bed in a quiet ward . He stroked the pale face of the person lying on the bed .
He held her hand and rubbed it on his face . His gaze was gentle .
“Why… why can’t you look at me?”

Si Chen was filled with remorse .
If he hadn’t made her angry that night, she would not have logged in to the game .
If she didn’t log in to the game, this would not happen .
If he didn’t bring the login pod back, she would be fine .
It was all his fault .
It was all his fault…
The doctor said that there was only a small possibility that she would wake up . However, he still kept the hope that maybe… just maybe, she was pulling a trick on him .
She would wake up soon .
“If you are not angry anymore, wake up and look at me . ” Si Chen’s voice was hoarse . “I beg you, please wake up . I will not anger you anymore . ”
Si Chen controlled his emotions . “I will find you again at night . Wait for me . ”
Si Chen spent most of his time in the hospital . In the morning, he would talk to Ming Shu, and after work, he would come back again .
His life only consisted of work and Ming Shu .
His busy work schedule could prevent him from overthinking .
However, at night, he would be unable to contain his emotions anymore .
The man called Si Chen: “Mr . Si, are you still unable to forget her?”
Si Chen asked him, “How can I forget?”
The man went silent for a moment . “Do you know why the Yunxing Project succeeded?”
Si Chen looked at him . Something stirred in his eyes .
The man slowly continued, “Miss Ji He gave us many opinions and made many changes to the Yunxing Project . She participated in the later stages of the project too . But, she requested all this to be kept a secret from you . She didn’t want you to know . ”
The man sighed . “I don’t know what she was thinking, but I feel that it is better to tell you . You are a lucky person . Miss Ji He is lucky, too . ”
Many images appeared in Si Chen’s mind .
She would call people behind his back and hang up the moment he came . He looked at her call history . It was with Yun Yu, Xiang Wan, Yellow Crane Returning West or Tonight’s Moon and the rest of the team . There were no unfamiliar numbers .
She always visited the NS Club . He asked Wang Heyang to spy on her . Wang Heyang told him that she would always look at something and discuss it with her teachers about certain things . Wang Heyang thought that it was a thesis she was writing .
He didn’t notice all these small details .
“She… When did she find you?”
The man recalled, “During the second stage when the project failed for the 29th time . ”
At that time, he was under huge pressure and would always throw tantrums . She would accompany him quietly .
She had the competition, but she had to think about the project too… She even had to accompany him .
Si Chen suddenly felt some difficulty breathing .
It was as though someone clenched his heart in their fist .
“Mr . Si, are you all right?” The man held him worriedly .
“I, I am fine . ” Si Chen retracted his hand . He slowly walked forward . His back seemed lonely .
The man wanted to say something, but didn’t . In the end, he just sighed .
Si Chen returned to his villa . Because the project succeeded, the villa was empty now .
However, he didn’t move his room down . That place was where she lived before .
He would still buy many snacks . The things that she used were still there . He tried to fool himself that she was still here . She was just beside him .
She would not be so cruel and leave him alone .
Si Chen looked at her laptop . It was password-locked . She seldom used her laptop, so he didn’t know her password .
Si Chen tried her birthday . It failed .
He tried her name . It was incorrect, too .
He entered her name and her birthday together . It was still wrong .
He typed something slowly . When he pressed the enter button, his hand shook .
The screen was unlocked .
Si Chen suddenly covered his face and shrunk into the seat . Warm liquid flowed down his face .
Wife, I am hurting so much .
After a long time, Si Chen pulled the laptop closer to him with shaking hands .
The wallpaper was a photo of him sleeping . It was taken in the greenhouse . Half of his face was revealed . The sunlight was just right, and it made the entire picture feel warm and gentle .

“Liar,” Si Chen scolded in a low voice .
Besides a few software, there were only some documents on the screen . They were labeled with numbers .
All of them were password-locked .
Si Chen tried to enter the login password .
It was wrong…
What could it be?
Si Chen tried again . It was still not right .
The system reminded him that there was only one chance left .
He didn’t dare to type a password randomly .
He got up and went to look for Ming Shu’s things . Si Chen was surprised when he saw only one box .
She had so few things .
Si Chen looked through the things that she left behind . There was a photobook at the bottom . It was given to her by Xiang Wan .
Si Chen flipped opened the photobook . Most of it was photos of friends and her in the game . There were some photos of Qingqiu Zhong and the rest of her team .
Si Chen looked at every single photo . Suddenly, he stopped .
A handsome man was holding his hand and looking up .
The angle was good, so he was able to see the gentleness in the man’s eyes .
Moon Temple…
This was where he confessed to her that day .
Si Chen flipped through the photobook . There were no other photos after that . However, there were some words at the back of the photo .
I only believe that you like him now . >
Si Chen looked at the words . He placed down the photobook after a long time and entered the passcode .
The circle in the middle kept spinning .
Si Chen looked at it nervously . Finally, the documents were revealed .
However, there was only some useless information in the folder . The rest of the documents contained similar things .
Si Chen didn’t possess any more hope as he clicked on the last document .
There was no information in this document . There was only a picture .
It was a picture of a pair of rings . An address was written beside it .
Si Chen took his car keys and rushed out of the villa . He dashed through a few red lights and managed to reach the location on the photo . The other party was just closing up . Si Chen had to make a few calls before the other party let him in .
“This is an order from a lady known as Miss Ji . But, she didn’t say when she will come and collect it . ” The person-in-charge placed a box in front of Si Chen . “The lady said that if she didn’t collect it by the 25th of October, we should send it out . ”
The person-in-charge showed Si Chen the address on the card .
It was the address of his villa .
October 25 was his birthday .
The person-in-charge looked at the man . He didn’t know if the man was feeling elated or depressed . A water droplet appeared on the transparent glass beside the box .
The person-in-charge was slightly surprised .
“Liar… liar!”
The tall and handsome man seemed to have been affected, heavily and started crying like a little child who lost something precious .

You can have both the honor and me . I hope to live through life and death with you .
