Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Zhang Shiyu let out a soft breath. The setting sun was shining right at her feet, and she suddenly felt that this light was warmer than ever before.

"I am free."

Lin Tian withdrew his hand: "Congratulations."

Zhang Shiyu's tears finally fell, her shoulders trembling slightly, but she didn't cry out.

She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, her voice slightly nasal but much clearer than before: "Thank you... thank you, Lin Tian."

Lin Tian said calmly and gently, "You should thank yourself; you saved yourself."

Zhang Shiyu was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant. If she really had the idea of ​​using Tangtang to threaten him,

Even if she just thought about it, she wouldn't be standing here.

She wiped her eyes again with her sleeve: "I still want to thank you for helping me, otherwise I would definitely have died at the hands of the system, it wouldn't have let me go."

Lin Tian nodded: "Alright, it's a new beginning. Live well from now on. The road ahead is still long."

Zhang Shiyu sniffed lightly: "Yes, I will."

Having been given a second chance at life, she will definitely live it well and make it beautiful.

The sunlight slanted across the plaza in front of the amusement park. As JoJo walked over, holding Tangtang's hand, she immediately noticed Zhang Shiyu's slightly red eyes.

"Xiaotian, Shiyu, what are you doing here? Hey? Shiyu, why are you crying? Who bullied you? Xiaotian, did you see anyone bullying your sister Shiyu?"

Lin Tian stood to the side, hands in his pockets, a perfectly timed innocent expression on his face:

"Sister, I didn't. I was right next to her the whole time and I didn't see anyone bullying her."

Zhang Shiyu sniffed, quickly wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, her voice still slightly nasal, but she tried to make it sound steady:

"Cousin, no one bullied me. I just... suddenly thought of my parents, and I couldn't help but get sentimental."

JoJo paused for a moment, her gaze softened, and she walked up to Zhang Shiyu, taking her hand and comforting her:

"Everything will be alright, you still have all of us."

Zhang Shiyu looked up at her, a small smile curving her lips: "Mm."

Tangtang was holding a piece of candy in her hand, which she had taken out of her pocket at some point.

She let go of JoJo's hand, jogged over to Zhang Shiyu, looked up, and handed her the candy.

"Sister Shiyu, don't cry, don't cry. I'll give you candy. Guoguo said that if you eat candy, you won't cry (bitter) anymore."

Zhang Shiyu looked down at the candy, paused for a moment, then reached out to take it, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

The sweetness slowly melts on the tip of the tongue, like a small patch of melting sunlight, gently sliding down the throat and leaving a warm feeling in the chest.

She had the candy in her mouth, and her voice was still a little muffled, but much clearer than before:

"Okay, don't cry, sister. You'll be happy every day from now on."

"Really?"

Tangtang tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Let's pinky swear!"

"Pinky promise."

Zhang Shiyu stretched out her hand, hooking her little finger with Tangtang's.

Tangtang shook it vigorously, as if performing a very solemn ritual: "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years!"

Sunlight shone on the two people's intertwined fingers.

Knife stood behind JoJo, watching this scene without saying a word, but a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, alright."

JoJo clapped her hands, as if to dispel the lingering sadness, "If we don't go back soon, it'll get dark. Auntie is still waiting for us at home."

The group slowly walked towards the parking lot.

Tangtang walked at the front, clutching the balloon Lin Tian had bought for her, occasionally turning back to make sure everyone was still there.

Zhang Shiyu walked behind her, her hands in her pockets, her fingertips still bearing the trace of a candy wrapper.

She looked gratefully at Tangtang's retreating figure. If it weren't for her, she was certain that Lin Tian wouldn't have saved her.

Tangtang, thank you so much for saving my sister.

When they reached the car, Daozai opened the passenger door for JoJo, his movements as natural as if he had done it countless times before.

Tangtang climbed onto the back seat, sat down by the window, and patted the seat next to her: "Sister Shiyu, sit here!"

Zhang Shiyu bent down and sat inside. The setting sun shone through the car window onto her face, turning the remaining tear stains into a faint gold.

Lin Tian sat on the right, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the evening street.

Tangtang leaned against Zhang Shiyu, whispering about the fun things that happened in kindergarten, her voice soft and warm.

Zhang Shiyu listened with her head down, her fingers gently resting on the hem of Tangtang's floral dress, thinking: Should I buy Tangtang another one tomorrow?

As the car rounded the last bend, the outline of the villa came into view.

When the car door opens.

Tangtang was the first to jump down, ran into the yard and shouted, "Guoguo, sister, Shiyu sister, come and catch me!"

"Little Sugar, your big sister is here."

Zhang Shiyu smiled and followed Lin Tian inside.

Jojo and Daozai lingered at the very back, while the boyfriend and girlfriend were about to die.

……

Zhang Shiyu asked Lin Tian to come into her room; she had something important to tell him. Lin Tian nodded and followed.

"The Revenge System gave me a very valuable item in my newbie gift pack... I think it can help you."

In the newbie gift pack, besides reviving me and giving me a body from my past life, there is also a chance to travel to the past.

It's the kind of real time travel, going back to before all the tragedy happened, back to before Yi Zhonghai and his gang committed those evil deeds.

"We can stop those things from happening."

The wind outside the window rustled through the treetops.

Lin Tian was stunned, remained silent for a moment, and then looked at her face, as if to confirm the weight of her words:

"You mean... you can go back in time and stop everything?"

Zhang Shiyu nodded: "If we could go back in time, your parents wouldn't have died."

Those who have hurt you haven't had a chance to do evil yet; you can stop them.

I felt I should tell you this, as a way of... thanking you for helping me get rid of the revenge system.

Lin Tian said in a deep voice, "Thank you for telling me this, but I need to think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of relief was light, like someone finally putting down a stone that had been weighing on their heart for a long time, only to find that it wasn't as heavy as they had imagined.

"Sure. Take your time to think it over, there's no rush."

"Whatever decision you make, I will respect it."

Lin Tian walked to the door, his hand already on the doorknob, then stopped without turning around.

"Shiyu, thank you."

"Thank you for telling me this."

The door closed gently behind him, and the sound of his footsteps faded away down the corridor.

Zhang Shiyu sat alone in her room, listening to her steady heartbeat, feeling more at ease than ever before.

There was no longer the threat of death, no longer the system's countdown to elimination, no longer fear...

She suddenly felt that she could finally get a good night's sleep.
