So, so, it turned out to be this very sentence!
At the very last moment when she closed her eyes, he had shouted out such a sentence with his life.
But, but, she had forgotten it!
Later, little by little, she had retrieved her memories, recalled his appearance, and re - found her love, only to lose it all over again.
She had had the same dream many times. Finally, in the dream, she had reached this point, remembered this moment, and recalled that sentence.
Maybe at that moment, he really thought she was going to die.
After that, every time she had hurt him, it must have been more painful for him than seeing her die with his own eyes.
Qin Chengyao, I'm sorry. I remember now.
As the cold dawn broke, the room was filled with a desolate chill.
She slowly opened her eyes. Two clear teardrops rolled down the corners of her eyes and disappeared into her temples.
Ji Siyue slowly got up, covering the area over her heart, and curled herself up tightly into a ball.
She remembered. She remembered everything.
That sentence, his tears, her own mistakes, and her "forgetfulness".
It was all wrong.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
The room was so big, but she curled herself into such a small ball, shivering with cold.
She reached under the pillow to take out her phone and called someone.
"Come to my room. I'm cold."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
After a while, there came soft footsteps outside the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The gentle knocking sound echoed. Ji Siyue didn't answer. She just sat there as before.
After a while, the door lock turned gently, and the door opened.
A tall figure walked in. After seeing the person on the bed, he quickened his pace, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch Ji Siyue's shoulder.
"Siyue? What's wrong with you?"
Ji Siyue didn't say a word. She suddenly got up and hugged the man's neck tightly, with such great force that it was as if she was a drowning person desperately grabbing the last floating log or clutching the last straw in the turbulent river.
"Siyue?"
Although he was puzzled, he still hugged Ji Siyue back, carefully soothing her emotions: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Siyue. Don't leave me. Don't lose me... Siyue." Ji Siyue repeated this sentence.
She clearly felt the body of the man she was hugging tremble violently. Then, he hugged her even more tightly.
"Why? Why never tell me?" Ji Siyue questioned. "I forgot such an important sentence. Why didn't you ever say anything?"
The man let out a long and deep sigh and slowly stroked Ji Siyue's hair.
"I thought you always knew. It was a sentence I shouted with my life. I thought you wouldn't forget."
Ji Siyue let go of him, looked at him, and said, "But the fact proves that I only forgot that one sentence. I'm sorry. I'm a jerk."
Qin Chengyao let go of Ji Siyue. "You're not a jerk. I didn't ask you to stay back then. I didn't let eighteen - year - old Ji Siyue stay by my side. I'm the loser—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Siyue threw herself at him and kissed him, as if to atone for her mistakes over the years.
That year, he had really come.
Even if she had died back then, he had been with her. What more could she ask for?
This kiss was like a tiny spark on the dry winter grassland, instantly igniting the whole prairie.
Qin Chengyao responded with all his passion, carefully yet uncontrollably. Ji Siyue neither resisted nor responded. She just slowly tightened her hold on his neck...
Day broke.
Ji Siyue opened her eyes. He had been gone for a long time.
Ji Siyue put on her clothes, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and after washing up, she got into her wheelchair and left her room.
Everyone had already started training, and there was an extra person. She recognized this person. It was Bai He.
He had a black crew cut, was tall and thin, the kind of guy that girls would think of as a big bad wolf type. But this man was currently lying on Landu's back, pestering him to call him "dad".
"Stop fooling around!" When Landu saw Ji Siyue, he patted Bai He. "This is the team leader, Siyue. Go say hello!"
"Sure thing!"
Bai He walked towards Ji Siyue. When he reached her, he squatted down directly.
He was so tall that when he squatted down, he was about the same height as Ji Siyue sitting in the wheelchair.
"Hello, team leader! I'm Bai He!" He even reached out his hand to Ji Siyue.
"Hello. I'm Siyue." Ji Siyue shook his hand and replied.
"Then I'll go back to training."
After a simple greeting, the seven of them officially started training.
They opened an arena dungeon, splitting into groups of four and three, and invited some random players to get familiar with each other's moves. Ji Siyue was quietly organizing the game records of all the players from past seasons in the back. Finally, she managed to sort out some useful game records, and after some calculations, she came up with six most versatile systems.
At lunchtime, Ji Siyue shared her idea of the six systems. Three of them said they could practice following those systems, but there were more or less objections to the remaining three, which needed to be modified.
Ji Siyue wasn't the kind of person who couldn't take criticism. After collecting the opinions of the others, she logged into her main account and played a few dungeons to get familiar with the skill changes and the damage of professional character skills in the current version.
On the other side, the seven of them had reached the mid - break time.
Nan Gongqi looked at Ji Siyue and couldn't help but shake his head and mutter, "I really don't know where this girl gets her energy. We're all so tired from training, but she's still so energetic."
"Sister Siyue is more tired than us. She's using her brain all the time. If this goes on, will her brain break?" Xing Xing clicked his tongue.
At this time, Qin Chengyao sneered and said, "I never saw her study this hard in class before."
"Speaking of class, kid, it's okay that you haven't been going to class these days?" Landu grabbed Xing Xing's collar.
Xing Xing laughed sheepishly. "I'm already a junior. This is the time for extracurricular practice. Wouldn't it be better if I change my practice experience to winning the championship of the competition?"
At this moment, Ji Siyue on the other side suddenly exclaimed, "I found it!"
"Found what?" Qin Chengyao asked.
"Everyone, go to the meeting room. I just thought of a killer move that's suitable for us!" Ji Siyue turned her computer chair and said with a smile to the people behind her.
This was the first time Ji Siyue had shown such a smile in front of everyone in such a long time. The others couldn't help but be a little stunned. Only Qin Chengyao silently stood up and walked past everyone: "Let's go. Have a meeting."
He pushed Ji Siyue, along with her computer chair, directly into the meeting room. Ji Siyue connected her computer to the multimedia device and then played the game data and the things she had recorded just now.
