62. Freshmen
Shen Siyuan rushed to the palace after receiving the call and did not see He Chen.
He Yi passed quickly not far from him, his clothes were a little messy, Shen Siyuan subconsciously called him, but He Yi did not respond. Shen Siyuan's eyesight is good, and at a glance, he can see that there is still black blue at the corner of He Yi's mouth, his cheekbones are cracked, he only rubs some medicine and does not bandage it, his eyes are red and swollen, and his feelings are also very low.
Shen Siyuan: "......"
What's going on? Shen Siyuan was confused and dialed He Chen's number.
He Chen didn't answer.
Shen Siyuan: "......"
Shen Siyuan had no choice but to enter He Chen's number and open the program to locate him.
Half a minute later, He Chen's coordinates turned into a small dot on the map, which was somewhere in the palace garden.
What is He Chen doing there?
Shen Siyuan became more and more uneasy, remembering the news broadcast on TV just now, and trotted all the way over.
He Chen curled up in an inconspicuous corner.
With a "rustling" sound on the grass, He Chen buried his face in his knees and said sullenly: "Go away." β
His voice was hoarse than usual, but it wasn't deep, it was as dejected and tired as if it had lost its vitality.
"It's me." Shen Siyuan whispered.
He Chen's fist was broken and stained with blood.
He and He Yi had just had a fight.
"......" He Chen still didn't look up, and after hearing Shen Siyuan's voice, he hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You go, I want to stay alone for a while." β
What happened...... Shen Siyuan had never seen He Chen, who was so depressed, even if his confession was rejected by himself, he was only a little disappointed, and he would cheer up again after a while.
He Chen is always optimistic and positive in his heart, and no matter what happens, he will think on the bright side, as if nothing in the world can defeat him.
Shen Siyuan didn't leave, he slowly squatted down. leaned, and gently put his hand on He Chen's shoulder.
"I don't know what's going on, and I've never comforted anyone...... In fact, I don't even know how to do it. Shen Siyuan said a little dazedly, "Although you asked me to leave here, I don't think I can leave now." β
He Chen did not speak.
"Will you look up at me?" Shen Siyuan leaned a little closer, next to He Chen.
He Chen seemed to be hiding from something, and when Shen Siyuan pulled his arm, he suppressed his voice and said, "You let me be quiet alone." β
Shen Siyuan said unconsciously: "Then let me tell you my story, I don't seem to have talked about this seriously with you." β
"I told you before that the free federation I belong to is not the same as the social system of TΓΊrin. I grew up with my smart phone, which taught me to speak and read, and the knowledge I had to learn every day was constantly poured into my brain, with only three hours of rest every day...... That's when the Free Federation implanted a chip in me. I was two to six years old and had little interaction with humans. β
"I didn't start school until I was six years old, but unlike other children, the school assigned me a special tutor to take care of my study and life, so I didn't talk to the other students much. Later, when I got older, my instructor didn't discipline me so much, and I was assigned to a studio, and I found that I had some difficulty communicating with them, but I didn't think there was anything wrong...... Because what I said, they basically didn't understand, and to put it bluntly, at that time I felt that everyone in the world except me was mentally retarded. β
He Chen: "......"
Hey, you're finally willing to look up? Shen Siyuan blinked, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, He Chen's entire eye socket was red, and he had obviously cried.
He Chen was a little embarrassed, wiped his face, sighed, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth at Shen Siyuan, asking, "Am I also mentally retarded?" β
"Hmm...... Not only mentally retarded, but also mentally ill. Shen Siyuan said truthfully.
He Chen laughed, sniffed, and said, "No wonder you didn't like me before." β
"But I like you now." Shen Siyuan said seriously.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then you kiss me."
"Okay."
He Chen just said casually, he didn't expect Shen Siyuan to agree so easily, but there was no joy in his heart, as if he had lost all his emotions at the moment, and nothing could arouse his interest.
He Chen shook his head, and when Shen Siyuan leaned over, he tilted his face to the side and dodged, saying, "Forget it...... You should continue to tell your story. β
Shen Siyuan was even more surprised than He Chen, but he didn't show any unpleasantness, and continued: "The year I came here, there was a man named Roger who pursued me, and he said that he fell in love with me at first sight and asked for my number in a desperate manner...... It's crazy. β
He Chen listened silently, and suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart, if it was him, should he have jumped up and asked Shen Siyuan what the man named Roger had done to him? And at this time, he didn't want to say a word.
Such a state is very scary. He Chen knew this, but there was nothing he could do, after learning the news, he couldn't control himself, he had never experienced this kind of thing, he couldn't describe the feeling like that. The heart is empty, like losing something, but it's not all ...... It's as if half of the whole person has been dug out, and even the soul is missing.
The man who grew up with him has left him forever.
"But I didn't have any interest in him, in fact I was very cold to all my emotions, and I was indifferent to whatever he offered me. And when he occasionally asked me about the mecha, I reported him directly to the Intelligence Bureau. Shen Siyuan said, "But it's different now...... From the first day I came to TΓΊrin, I knew what it was like to hate, I hated Parret, he imprisoned me, he abused me, he pulled me by the hair and slammed it against the wall...... I really haven't felt this way in a long time, as if the blood in my whole body is fluctuating with my feelings. β
"Hmm...... The implant was a night when I was three years old and it rained heavily, and the room I lived in was very large, and the lights were not turned on at the time, and the thunder was very loud and I was scared, so I called my machine. It ended up explaining to me how thunderstorms are formed, and I cried so much that I kicked it and told it to take me to my mom and dad...... Then the next day I was wheeled into the operating room to have my chip implanted, and I haven't thought about my parents since...... Later, my mentor told me that my parents were lowly second-class citizens and were not qualified to talk to me, and I easily accepted this statement. β
He Chen was surprised: "You mean ......?"
"Yes, this is what I have only recently figured out, this chip they sued me in order to better control all kinds of instruments, in fact, it should be my own, they are using me as a cheap tool. After arriving in Turin, the chip was cut off from the network and could not operate independently, so it gradually failed...... It's as if I'm human again. β
"Thank you, He Chen, for giving me joy and sorrow again, and a new lease of life." Shen Siyuan stretched out his hand to hug He Chen and took him into his arms, "When I'm unhappy, you will always be with me, make me laugh, and make me happy, although I didn't pay much attention to you at that time...... Now that I think about it, I'm sorry for you, and when I came out of the Hengxin incident, you also stood up as soon as possible and said to help me solve it...... Thank you so much. β
"So you're sad now, I can't leave, and if you're not happy, I'll be just as unhappy." Shen Siyuan leaned to He Chen and said, "What are you sad about, sue me, so that I can share half of your sadness, and you will feel better." β
This was the first time Shen Siyuan had said so many things to him, and while He Chen heard it with emotion, he asked a little funny: "Where did you hear this?" β
"It's on TV."
ββ¦β¦ All right. He Chen knew that Shen Siyuan's common sense came from TV shows, and it was very normal for this kind of plot to be played in TV dramas, but he didn't expect Shen Siyuan to take it seriously. He recalled that a long time ago, he took Shen Siyuan on the subway for the first time, and the other party was so serious that he also wrote down the precautions for taking the subway on the terminal.
Although a year is not a long time, He Chen feels that he is already a world away, very far away.
Shen Siyuan said seriously: "Then can you tell me what happened now?" β
He Chen sighed deeply and said, "My mother is gone." β
