Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Before leaving for Beijing, Shen Mingchao deliberately chose a quiet night and uttered that name as if talking to himself.

She feels very disconnected from this person right now.

From Shen Mingchao's perspective, she had a bad first impression of Wang Can, until she gained the ability to restrain Wang Can and thought she could use Wang Can to protect herself.

She only considered Wang Can as a trump card and didn't actually have much affection for him as a person.

Later, she had the opportunity to read the original work by chance. From a reader's perspective, she felt that Wang Can's life was not worthwhile. She thought that if he hadn't been a member of the Wang family, he might have had a brilliant life as his name suggests.

Upon closer examination, the feeling she had should be described as regret.

But that's all.

Now, as she looks at Wang Can's childhood through Li Han's memories, she is involuntarily moved by those images.

Emotions are like vines that grow quietly in a relationship. As the feelings surging in Wang Can's eyes grew stronger, how could Li Han truly remain uninvolved and unmoved?

But there was nothing we could do.

The two of them ultimately missed each other.

Shen Mingchao subconsciously felt that she was Li Han. Whether it was her previous life or her first time transmigrating into a book without her knowledge, Li Han's regrets should be fulfilled by her.

Upon seeing the man emerge from the clouds, Shen Mingchao, whose mindset had already changed, smiled exceptionally brightly.

"Long time no see, partner."

One sentence left Wang Can stunned on the spot.

The withered grass in my heart, long dried up by the years and devoid of all life, was given a spark of life from the dead ashes by this one sentence.

Disbelief filled Wang Can's eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you scared stiff?" Shen Mingchao was no longer afraid of Wang Can. He walked up to Wang Can, poked his shoulder with his finger, and couldn't help but scold him.

"You call me stupid? You're even stupider! Even if my plan failed, why did you go to your death with the Wang family? What are your long legs for? Run—"

Her words were interrupted by Wang Can's hug.

A subtle tremor was transmitted to him by the other party. Shen Mingchao sighed and did not struggle, giving Wang Can ample time to process the current situation.

"You finally remembered."

"Hmm, I remember now."

She gave an affirmative answer once again.

Wang Can slowly released Shen Mingchao, then urgently pressed for details: "What exactly happened after you joined the computing department? Why did you never show up again? Did they discover your intentions and secretly execute you? Or did they send you on some unknown mission?"

The question that Wang Can couldn't figure out back then has finally been answered at this moment.

Shen Mingchao shook his head: "Neither."

But she couldn't say that Li Han was already dead, so she said ambiguously, "I had some accidents, left the Wang family, and forgot everything about the Wang family."

"What accident?"

Shen Mingchao avoided Wang Can's gaze, feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Wang Can saw that Shen Mingchao was avoiding the question, so he changed his approach: "You only need to answer one question for me."

"What?"

"Does it hurt?"

That's a really insightful question.

How could it not hurt? Li Han's death was truly horrific.

There's nothing to hide, Shen Mingchao nodded.

Then, to divert her attention, she asked Wang Can, "And what about you? Why did you stay in the Wang family until you died?"

After those words, an eerie silence fell over the room.

Until Wang Can laughed self-deprecatingly: "Because I thought you were always in the Wang family, and I was waiting for you."

Fate loves to play tricks on people.

Although they seemed to have embarked on a different path from the predetermined one, in the end they still arrived at the same destination.

"Wang Can".

"I'm sorry, but I didn't actually say anything wrong."

Shen Mingchao stared at the person in front of him, a near-crazy idea surfacing in his mind.

[If you're willing to help me, I'll take you to see your brother after everything is over.]

This is Li Han's promise.

Isn't what she's doing now fulfilling Li Han's promise?

Is she Li Han's backup plan?

"So, are we going to meet him? I asked him where he was on WeChat before, and he told me he was in Beijing. Wang Can, that's why I called you out."

Liu Sang was not so happy. Too much had happened during this time, and Shen Mingchao had long forgotten about this person. By the time he remembered him again, Liu Sang had already been unilaterally sending messages on WeChat for quite some time.

The last sentence is a guess that she was abandoned by her idol, so she ended up homeless and too poor to even pay her phone bill, which is why she stopped replying when the internet was cut off.

The toxic fans are incredibly malicious towards their fellow fans.

She couldn't resist typing: "Sorry, fellow fan, I recently went camping in the mountains with my idols. The signal was bad there, so I didn't have time to check messages. Please bear with me~"

Liu Sang: You? What are you going to do? With your small frame, you can't even beat a dog. Are you going to drag your idol down?

What is this kid saying?

Shen Mingchao thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Ah~ This kid probably thinks she went tomb raiding with Zhang Qiling and the others.

This needs to be explained clearly.

She continued typing: What are you talking about? What's wrong with being a burden when camping? I go hiking with my idol every day, and in terms of stamina, I'm not necessarily worse than you. Look at your skinny arms and legs. Listen to my advice, fellow fan, you still need to train!

Liu Sang: ? ? ?

Liu Sang: Who are you insulting?

Liu Sang: (Image) (Image) (Image)

Shen Mingchao opened them one by one and saw that they were probably photos taken when the other person was working out. To be honest, Liu Sang's physique was pretty good by ordinary standards, but she really couldn't bring herself to praise it. Anyone she randomly picked up could easily outshine him.

(Except for Fatty.)

I don't mean to say anything bad about Fatty, he's just blessed!

Liu Sang: Why aren't you saying anything? Are you ashamed of yourself?

Unable to bear seeing Du Wei so smug, Shen Mingchao sent her two words directly: "So-so."

Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

The phone kept vibrating, and it was clear that Liu Sang was on edge. Finally, he sent a message: "If you're so capable, let's have a match in person. With your mediocre skills, you probably don't even have the courage to go out."

Shen Mingchao: Okay.

Perhaps because he didn't expect to agree, Liu Sang didn't reply for a long time. Shen Mingchao couldn't wait and sent a message: "You're not afraid to come, are you?"

Liu Sang: What's there to be afraid of?

Shen Mingchao: Where do you live?

Liu Sang: Who are you? Why should I tell you?

Shen Mingchao: A signed autograph from my idol.

Liu Sang replied in a second: Beijing.

Shen Mingchao smiled smugly, "Hehe, little Liu Sang, I can handle him."

After a moment of reflection, Shen Mingchao said to Wang Can, "I happen to be going to Beijing soon, so I can arrange to meet him when I have some free time. Think about whether you want to acknowledge him as your son."

"No need." Wang Can lowered his eyes, his raven-white eyelashes casting a shadow, and said calmly, "There's no need for recognition. I'm neither human nor ghost now, so I'd better not disturb the lives of the living."

Then he looked up at Shen Mingchao, the name "Wang Han" almost slipping out reflexively, but then he suddenly realized and quickly changed his mind: "Mingchao, if you really meet him, let me out. I'll just take a look from afar."
