Chapter 227 Secret
"Zombies?"
“No, it shouldn’t be.” Su Qi walked over and carefully examined the woman’s face.
"It's your sister, Shen Qingyue."
Shen Chaohuai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the things that appeared in human stories had come true in reality.
Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai witnessed Shen Qingyue setting traps and obstacles at each checkpoint, with the aim of causing Su Qi to fall as she passed through.
In the final challenge, Shen Qingyue actually found the button for the water drain system and drained the entire pool of water.
The black, bottomless pool is so dark that you can't tell if it's filled with water unless you look closely.
Shen Chaohuai frowned: "This Shen Qingyue, I should never have kept her around, she's a real hidden danger!"
Su Qi paused for two seconds, then looked at him: "If you're saying that, does that mean you had a way to make Shen Qingyue disappear from the very beginning?"
Shen Chaohuai paused, then said guiltily, "No way! I don't have that ability."
Su Qi crossed her arms and raised her fingers.
A deep blue current flowed from her fingertips to the top of Shen Qingyue's head as she activated the rollback recording system.
Shen Chaohuai finally understood where the God-like video footage that Su Qi used to clarify rumors came from.
"Okay, now I've recorded the whole process of her tampering with things."
Without warning, Su Qi took Shen Chaohuai's hand, and Shen Chaohuai paused slightly: "You..."
She looked at the blush on his face, smiled mischievously, and deliberately intertwined her fingers with his.
His face turned even redder.
"What for?" he asked.
"Of course I'll take you back to the previous timeline. Now that you know my secret, I'll never let you leave me for the rest of my life. Don't even think about running away." She flicked her finger at his cheek.
Shen Chaohuai chuckled: "Really? Then I'll take it as your reward for me..."
Su Qi's expression froze. Just as she was activating the rollback system, Shen Chaohuai deliberately put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
The space compressed, and he leaned close to her ear, gently biting her earlobe.
"..."
Su Qi gave a soft hum and closed her eyes tightly.
"I won't leave you, don't worry. As for your secret, I'll keep it to myself."
"If I told you..."
He looked up and swore.
"Then let me miss you for all eternity."
Su Qi didn't seem to care much after hearing this, taking it as a joke: "What kind of oath is this? The punishment isn't severe enough at all."
Shen Chaohuai knew that Su Qi simply didn't understand his feelings for her and thought it was just a passing infatuation, but for Shen Chaohuai, such punishment was enough to cause him pain for the rest of his life.
Because he is the only one, he will remember everything that happened in each of his lifetimes after he is reborn.
[Master, your save file has been rewound to before the recording of the dating reality show challenge.]
[As per your plan, you now need to invite Shen Qingyue to participate in the dating reality show, and you need to retain all current stats.]
[This ensures that your opponent's participation in the dating reality show won't affect your stats.]
Shen Chaohuai also heard the system's announcement, but Su Qi was testing whether he had heard it.
"You know what to do, right?"
Shen Chaohuai laughed and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Realizing that Shen Chaohuai did not fully understand her abilities, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "I would like to ask you to find Shen Qingyue to participate in a variety show, in this time slot."
"Right here, aren't you going to participate?"
“I don’t need to participate anymore, because…” Su Qi said, “I’ve already participated and got what I wanted.”
Shen Chaohuai frowned, unsure of the extent to which Su Qi's abilities had awakened, only feeling that she was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and increasingly opinionated.
He wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Alright, since it's your plan, I'll do my best to help you."
Shen Chaohuai took out his phone and called Zheng Ran.
Since it was Shen Chaohuai who came forward, Zheng Ran had to give him some face.
"Okay, Shen Qingyue is still my ex-fiancée after all."
Shen Chaohuai then called Shen Qingyue in front of Su Qi: "I have good news to tell you."
Soon, Shen Qingyue received an invitation to a dating reality show at home.
Upon hearing that Su Qi hadn't attended, Shen Qingyue was overjoyed and called her old friends to celebrate, completely forgetting that she had tampered with things on the variety show set.
Meanwhile, Shen Chaohuai asked Su Qi, "Are you sure she won't remember that she tampered with things? If she does remember, there's no guarantee she won't come back and rearrange things."
Su Qi crossed his arms: "What's the point of that?"
She smiled. When she saved the incident, she had already saved the incident of Shen Qingyue tampering with the dating show as well.
Even if Shen Qingyue goes back and rearranges the scene, the scene will be restored to its original state the next day.
Shen Chaohuai didn't understand what she meant, but reminded her: "No matter what method you use, this is not the empire. The stronger your abilities are, the more people will be wary of you. So you must keep your identity a secret."
Su Qi looked at him and said, "As long as you don't betray me, I don't feel any danger."
Shen Chaohuai was stunned. Did this mean that he, Shen Chaohuai, was a dangerous factor?
"Xiao Qi... are you..." He looked at her with a pitiful expression, "or do you still not fully trust me?"
Su Qi stopped and sighed softly: "Shen Chaohuai, I believe you. You are the only person in this world that I can trust."
"Then why are you still..."
Su Qi shook his head: "I want to leave myself some room for maneuver. Everyone has secrets. Giving each other some space will make it less likely for the two of us to suspect each other in the future."
“Shen Chaohuai, I know you have secrets too, but I’ve never asked. I’m curious about your abilities, and I’m curious why you helped me from the very beginning.”
“But I never asked about it.”
"Because I also want to keep some secrets for you."
Upon hearing this, a strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if something had trembled violently a few times.
He gently embraced her from behind, lowered his head, and buried it in her shoulder.
"Thank you...I..."
Some words were stuck in his throat, and he found that he still couldn't say them.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "I..."
Su Qi grabbed his cheek and squeezed it hard: "Stop talking, stop babbling. We need to get down to business."
After her hand left, Shen Chaohuai covered his face, savoring the lingering warmth she had brought, a slight smile playing on his lips.
That's good; he doesn't want her to remember the past at all.
not at all.
On the set of the dating reality show, Shen Qingyue walked up to Shen Chaohuai and asked, "Brother?"
Shen Chaohuai didn't say anything, and even seemed to ignore her meaning.
Shen Qingyue felt awkward, but still said, "Thank you for helping me, brother. I just don't understand, you were unwilling before, why did you suddenly..."
Shen Chaohuai: "Just consider it a change of heart."
"Seriously?" Shen Qingyue wasn't stupid. "You should know I tampered with the dating reality show, right? You want me to suffer for it?"
Shen Chaohuai paused for a moment.
“Brother, ever since you sided with Su Qi, I knew you couldn’t possibly be helping me out of kindness.”
"You know that's good. Keep your wicked thoughts to yourself." His voice turned serious.
Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "It's alright, you can't outsmart me, because I've already rearranged the facilities on site beforehand..."
