The scene seen in Chapter 486
Seeing the heartache in Shen Shilan's eyes, Su Miaoyi grasped her hand and placed it on her face: "Mom, don't worry, it's not my own problem."
"Hmm?" Shen Shilan touched her head.
Su Miaoyi said, "It's something I've seen in the last two days."
Shen Shilan understood what she meant: "But you're the one with the fever, so it's ultimately you who's feeling unwell. If you feel better talking about it, then talk about it. If you don't want to talk to your mother, then talk to your father."
"Okay. I'm fine, I'm alright now that I'm awake," Su Miaoyi said.
"Lie down, lie down," Shen Shilan said. "Lie down for a little while longer. Today is the first day back to work after the New Year. Your aunt and uncle are quite busy, and your father has a lot of meetings to attend. They should be arriving in the evening."
"It's okay, I just have a fever. Let's go back. The fever will definitely go away." Su Miaoyi said, "Mom, be careful. Your ribs still need to be healed. Let's go back."
She said she was going to sit up, but Shen Shilan pressed her back down.
"Lie down," Shen Shilan said. "You still have many injuries."
Su Miaoyi fell silent.
Shen Shilan looked at her: "You got hurt but didn't tell me. You secretly hid at your uncle's house. If it happens again, I'll really be angry."
Su Miaoyi hooked her finger.
“I meant next time I get angry,” Shen Shilan said.
"Don't get angry next time either." Su Miaoyi hooked her finger again.
Shen Shilan gently patted her hand: "So you've thought it through, and you'll keep it from me next time too."
Su Miaoyi looked at her, and then the corners of her mouth slowly turned down.
"Alright, alright, alright," Shen Shilan said. "I'm not angry, I'm not angry."
Su Miaoyi smiled.
The door to the ward was pushed open, and Shen Shilan looked towards the doorway, as did Su Miaoyi.
Shen Yanzhou came in carrying two lunch boxes.
"Yanzhou." Shen Shilan immediately stood up and walked over. "You're back?"
"Brother, you're out?" Su Miaoyi sat up, very happy.
Shen Yanzhou said to Shen Shilan, "Aunt, I'm alright now."
After saying that, he looked at Su Miaoyi again, "Why do you make it sound like I've been in jail for days?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Shilan said. "It's good that you're alright. Your parents haven't been sleeping well these past two days."
"I slept quite well," Shen Yanzhou said.
Shen Shilan smiled and said, "When did you get back? Why didn't you rest at home?"
"I took a shower and came right away." Shen Yanzhou put down his lunchbox. "I heard someone fell asleep again and couldn't be woken up."
Su Miaoyi: "."
Shen Shilan sat on the edge of the bed and let Shen Yanzhou sit in a chair.
“You scared your dad so much that he could barely speak when he called me. I thought he was sick,” Shen Shilan said.
Su Miaoyi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Why is this person so quiet today?" Shen Yanzhou looked at her.
Su Miaoyi glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Shen Shilan patted her head.
Shen Yanzhou asked, "Has the fever subsided?"
"It's not hot now, but I'm worried it might come back tonight," Shen Shilan said. "The doctor said if I don't have a fever tonight, I should be fine."
Shen Yanzhou smiled at her and said, "Have something to eat. The housekeeper made it. Auntie, I'll have the driver take you home. I'll stay here with her."
"No need, you go home and rest," Shen Shilan said. "I'm fine now, I can move around without any problems, you go home."
Shen Shilan and Shen Yanzhou told each other to go home.
Su Miaoyi sipped her soup, looked at the two of them, and said, "Let's go back together."
"No," Shen Shilan and Shen Yanzhou said together. Su Miaoyi fell silent and lowered her head to drink her soup.
In the end, Shen Shilan stayed and let Shen Yanzhou go back.
After eating something, Su Miaoyi lay down on the bed. Seeing that she was alright, Shen Shilan picked up a book and sat down to read.
Su Miaoyi stared at the ceiling, thinking about the scenes she saw while she was asleep.
I saw so many images, in segments, and I saw them while I was asleep.
Suddenly, she couldn't recall what she had seen before waking up, but it must have been Chisakura.
So she recalled the scene bit by bit, starting from the very first thing she saw.
The opening scene featured many children, some around eight or nine years old, others around three or four, and some being held in someone's arms; there were both boys and girls.
Everyone was lying in a large room, each with a small bed, and the adults were urging them to go to sleep.
She looked around and saw the older children lying down on their own, while the younger children needed to be coaxed to sleep by adults.
She looked around, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Then the scene changed to what appeared to be an office.
She was adopted; she and another little boy were adopted together.
She was very happy, took the little boy's hand, and said to him, "Brother Gongchuan, we have a home now, and we can always be brother and sister."
The little boy nodded, also very happy, but his happiness was very subtle: "Mmm."
Then the scene changed again.
She was in a very beautiful house, wearing a very pretty dress.
She was terrified; a silent woman led her into a room.
There were many men in the room, some younger, looking to be in their twenties or thirties, and others older, looking to be in their fifties or sixties.
She clutched her clothes, looking at them timidly.
Then one of the men stood up, took her hand, and led her away to a completely dark room.
For a long time afterward, she kept seeing this man on and off.
Many scenes are repeated over and over again.
In those images, Su Miaoyi heard the girl crying and her pitiful cries.
She suddenly gripped the blanket around her, frowned slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath.
Shen Shilan walked over and sat down next to her: "Lele, what's wrong?"
Su Miaoyi looked at her, and after a while, moved to the side: "Mom, can you lie down with me for a while?"
Shen Shilan sensed that she was sad and angry.
She lay in bed: "Thinking about what's in the scene?"
“Yes.” Su Miaoyi hugged her arm. “She was imprisoned on an island when she was a child and experienced some very bad things.”
Shen Shilan quickly understood what she meant, and she sighed softly: "Those damned people should be ground to dust."
“Yes, he should be ground to dust,” Su Miaoyi said.
She leaned on Shen Shilan's shoulder, continuing to think about the scene she had witnessed.
She also saw many other people in the video.
There was a little boy named Gong Chuan.
There was also a little girl named Lu Jing and Xie Zhiyan as a child.
Fear was written all over their faces. They all looked dazed, their eyes blank and devoid of any light.
Only Xie Zhiyan's eyes were different from everyone else's.
His eyes were filled with hatred and ruthlessness.
Let's stick to one chapter today.
I'm on my period, so I'm a bit weak and not very clear-headed. I need to rewrite the second chapter before posting it, because I'm worried about logical inconsistencies.
