Chapter 63

"In reality, people often regret whatever choices they make. We have a tendency to romanticize the path we didn't choose at the time. But deep down, we all know that even if we could go back in time, with the same mindset and experiences, we would make the same choices. So, does the outcome of the story really matter?

There's a phrase I love: 'Gaining the morning sun after losing the eastern corner.'

Shen Yue, I hope that our meeting hasn't made you feel regretful. Because one day, the time we spent together will become the strength that supports you."

The second class was also Chemistry, and the Chemistry teacher, feeling disheartened, taught another class. Shen Yue, feeling at ease, slept through another class.

Ye Yin sat next to Shen Yue, sometimes captivated by the intricacies of Chemistry, and at other times wondering why Shen Yue was so beautiful.

Of course, what he couldn't understand the most was that when Shen Yue first joined the class, he didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary. He could even rationalize the reasons behind Shen Yue's love for sleeping. But why did his mood become strange the moment he realized that Shen Yue was good-looking?

Indeed, it is necessary to study psychology. Tonight, on the way home, he would buy some relevant books to read.

Soon, the second class ended, and the broadcast began playing music, signaling that everyone should go to the playground for physical activity. Today's exercise was collective military boxing.

Ye Yin hesitated for a moment. Should he wake up Shen Yue and go down? Before he could decide, Niu Kaihuai had already entered the classroom, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, go down and exercise! Hurry up! Don't just sit there!! You can study anytime, but collective exercise waits for no one!"

After hearing Niu Kaihuai's command to hurry people along, the other students obediently put down their pens and started walking towards the nearby gymnasium.

And Shen Yue, who was still sound asleep, was exposed.

Niu Kaihuai, wearing an expression that said 'I knew it,' walked over to Shen Yue, ready to speak, but Ye Yin stopped him first.

"Teacher Niu, if a person in a state of deep sleep is suddenly awakened, due to the deep inhibitory effects of the cerebral cortex, the closed capillary network cannot immediately open, which may result in insufficient blood supply to the brain. This can cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, tachycardia, acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, acute cerebral hyperemia, acute cerebral infarction, and even a sudden cerebral hemorrhage."

Niu Kaihuai, who was about to launch a full attack, suddenly choked. This... is it so serious?! In an instant, he retracted the qi he had gathered in his dantian, instinctively lowering his voice, "Then how do we wake her up?"

Ye Yin pondered for two seconds and came up with an answer, "We wait for her to wake up on her own."

Niu Kaihuai: ...

"You cheeky brat, hurry up and go down!" Niu Kaihuai remembered being fooled by this kid just a couple of days ago. He couldn't let himself be fooled a second time. But even though he mentally told himself that, Niu Kaihuai gave up on launching a full attack and instead reached out his hand to gently shake Shen Yue. "Shen Yue, wake up."

Shen Yue didn't move.

Niu Kaihuai applied a bit more force in his shaking.

But Shen Yue still didn't move.

Shen Yue began to seriously doubt whether this girl was actually awake but just didn't want to move. So, she decided not to call for help and instead lifted Shen Yue onto her shoulders, intending to forcefully carry her down.

Ye Yin, feeling anxious, said, "Teacher Niu, you're quite tall, and you might accidentally bump into Shen Yue."

Niu Kaihuai looked at Ye Yin with a puzzled expression and said, "You, young man, why are you so concerned about Shen Yue? Are you two in a secret relationship?"

Ye Yin was stunned, feeling like something was about to burst out.

Niu Kaihuai continued, oblivious to Ye Yin's reaction, "Let me tell you, young love is not good. It's not because it affects your studies or any of those lame reasons. It's because you're not capable of taking responsibility for this relationship yet, understand, you brat? Don't cause trouble for young girls, even if this girl herself is trouble."

Niu Kaihuai carried Shen Yue on his shoulders and walked forward, attracting quite a crowd.

The campus of Sihai College was vast, with a one-stop system from elementary to high school, and having four gymnasiums was reasonable.

Students would engage in physical activities during break time in the nearest gymnasium according to the school's division.

Finally, Niu Kaihuai placed Shen Yue in a corner of the gymnasium.

Amidst the booming anthem of athletes, Shen Yue slowly opened her eyes, momentarily thinking she was dreaming.

After all, sometimes in prison, they liked to play athlete anthems during activities.

"Shen Yue, get up and move around. You seem to be rusting," Niu Kaihuai said.

Shen *Rust* Yue tried hard to clear her mind, stood up, moved her right hand, then her left hand, got tired, and slowly sat back down.

Niu Kaihuai:...

"Shen! Yue!"

Under the insistence of Teacher Niu, Shen Yue painfully and extremely clumsily completed a set of military exercises, and afterward, she slowly made her way to the classroom.

For some reason, once she set her mind on sleeping at school, she didn't want to do anything other than sleep.

However, after the exercise just now, Shen Yue did feel somewhat more awake.

She noticed that many people were looking at her, but she didn't pay attention since she didn't know any of those people.

Until she was stopped by a girl. Shen Yue thought it was another one of those acts and was about to push the person away when suddenly, the girl in front of her burst into tears.

Shen Yue:?

She hadn't even made a move, and this was already a legendary "falling porcelain" incident? This was serious.

Shen Yue tactically took a step back, but unexpectedly, the little girl in front also took a step forward.

After sobbing for a long time, she finally spoke, "Sister Shen Yue, please save Shang Junyu. He seems to be dying, for real."

Upon hearing Shang Junyu's name, the memories that Shen Yue had forcefully thrown into a corner resurfaced, and she frowned at the thought of his miserable life.

Her mind was too intelligent. Couldn't it ask for the owner's opinion before retrieving memories?

Some memories didn't need to be recalled individually. She truly hoped that her hippocampus would become more sensible someday.

Shen Yue looked at the girl in front of her, crying and pleading, but she didn't feel any empathy for her words. In fact, she found it somewhat annoying. "Everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of dying early or late. Tell him to be more optimistic and enjoy a few more meals while he's still alive."

Shen Yue mentioned that she still had a bottle of yogurt to drink and planned to have it later. As she spoke, she remembered it.

The girl across from her widened her eyes in disbelief and said, "How can you be so indifferent? Shang Junyu treats you so well..."

"Does he?" Shen Yue rarely interrupted others while they were speaking, but this time she didn't feel like listening to the rest of the sentence.

The girl was also stunned by Shen Yue's response.

Does he?

The group of friends who played with Shang Junyu and Shen Yue knew very well that Shang Junyu disliked Shen Yue. Not to mention treating her well, he had never even stood up for her.

Recently, there had been a significant change in teachers at school, and many students had left. Her parents specifically warned her not to provoke a student named Shen Yue and to keep her distance from her.

After all, she used to be close to Shang Junyu, and there was a chance that Shen Yue might redirect her anger towards her.

That's what she initially thought—keeping her distance from Shen Yue, quietly getting through the rest of her school life. But she had received distress messages from Shang Junyu for a whole week, and she had no choice but to seek out Shen Yue today.

However, upon hearing Shen Yue's question, she understood.

Shen Yue wouldn't help Shang Junyu.

Because they were the ones who had made a mistake, not Shen Yue.

"I... I'm sorry."

Shen Yue looked at the girl in front of her, who seemed to have no intention of continuing the confrontation, and quickened her pace to leave.
