Chapter 35

    Ye Chang gave himself three days off during the three days of Su Yu’s college entrance examination.

    This is no vacation in the ordinary sense.She did not turn off her phone or cut off contact with the core affairs. The execution of the “Xinghui” case was on track, and her trusted team was following up. However, she did completely and temporarily separate herself from the identity of “Mr. Ye” and from that sophisticated and cold “revenge trial”.

    In these three days, there was no company, no Silin, no “insomnia” calculations, no cold numbers and step-by-step traps.

    There were only her, Su Yu, and… the memories with her sister Su Mian.

    After watching Su Yu enter the last examination room, Ye Chang did not go to the cafe again.She walked alone to a nearby more secluded street garden and stood under a tall plane tree.The autumn wind blows and the fallen leaves are flying.

    She closed her eyes, raised her face, and felt the sun and breeze blowing across her cheeks.

    In the past three days, she had deliberately blocked all information related to revenge.He didn’t check Shen Silin’s status, didn’t ask about the progress of “Xinghui”, and didn’t think about the aftermath of “Insomnia”.She immersed herself in an almost luxurious emotion that was only about protection and memory.

    She thought of her sister’s smile, the warmth of her palms, and the soft barrier that blocked all the scary sounds when her sister said, “Smooth, don’t be afraid.”Those memories have been silent for too long under the ice of hatred. Now they are carefully held out, still with heartbreaking warmth.

    It’s not like she doesn’t hate it anymore.

    The hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow had already become a part of her flesh and blood and could not be stripped away.

    But in these three days, she allowed herself to temporarily forget how to hate, and only remember how to love – love for her sister who had passed away long ago, and love for Su Yu who carried their common blood and was fighting for her future.

    This short “vacation” is like a breath of self-forgiveness, and also like the last silence before the war, looking back on the way forward.

    When the final exam bell sounded faintly, Ye Chang slowly opened his eyes.

    The softness and trance that he had deliberately maintained in his eyes for the past three days faded away like the tide, replaced by a clarity that had re-condensed and was clearer and colder than before.

    Sioux’s battle is coming to an end.

    And Ye Chang’s battle, after a short rest, will also usher in the final and inevitable charge.

    She straightened her hair and clothes that were messed up by the wind, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the examination room.

    The pace is still steady and the back is still straight.

    It’s just that the outlines that were slightly warmed by memories and sunshine in those three days were once again covered with an indestructible layer of ice belonging to the Avengers and the Judge.

    The holidays are over.

    Reality, with all its complexities, darkness and unsolved mysteries, awaits her return.
