Chapter 50 A Tragic Past, His Shattered Soul
Shen Zhaoyi was unaware that her nanny was already worrying about the fact that she wouldn't be able to come for another two weeks; all she could think about right now was Su Ye.

Dinner was quickly finished.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, she asked Xu Meng to put the leftovers in the refrigerator, so that she might be able to eat something if she got hungry in the middle of the night.

After everyone left, she went to the bathroom and took a bath.

The warm water relieved my tense emotions.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the way Su Ye looked at her last night reappeared in her mind.

He's completely obsessed!

She suddenly sat up in the water.

I dried my hair. It was only a little past seven. Without watching live streams, playing games, or chatting, the day was indeed passing by incredibly slowly.

"How about learning something to pass the time?"

However, this idea was rejected by Shen Zhaoyi as soon as it came to mind.

Why would someone with money go to trouble for themselves?

She was just an ordinary person, without any grand ambitions.

If you can't do it, hire someone.

Assistants, nannies, and housekeepers—these people always exist for a reason.

She simply wanted to enjoy this "decadent" and complacent life for the rest of her days.

It was almost nine o'clock, and Su Ye still hadn't replied.

Shen Zhaoyi stared at her phone screen, her brows furrowed slightly, thinking of going to the voice chat room to see if it was because of a quarrel or some other reason.

In short, I can only feel at ease after seeing the person in person.

But when she entered "Victoria Harbour", all seven IDs on the microphone looked familiar.

But the nightingale was not there.

"Tsk, what's going on? Did something happen?"

Frustrated, Shen Zhaoyi shifted her position, casually swiped a bunch of gifts from Quanmai, and directly asked Ziqi to check her private messages.

Because he was the only one who had the best relationship with Su Ye.

It seems the two are still friends in real life?
Ziqi opened the backend—

[zy: Add me on WeChat, feel free to ask me anything.]

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately guessed that it was related to Su Ye.

After the verification message was approved, Shen Zhaoyi's message came in quick succession.

Where is Su Ye?

He's not replying to messages, and he hasn't come to the voice chat room. I can't get in touch with him anymore.

Do you have any clues?

Her words were laced with suppressed anger, and Ziqi could feel her anxiety even through the screen.

I thought Su Ye had told someone.

[Um, Sister ZY.] Ziqi typed carefully, [Su Ye took the day off today, something came up...]

Something?

Shen Zhaoyi was a little anxious.

What could possibly be treated like a disappearance?
He went to work fine this morning, so why did he suddenly take the day off tonight?

Ziqi was also a little conflicted.

Seeing that ZY's concern seemed genuine, and fearing she might overthink it, I vaguely replied, "Today is a special day."

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at her phone calendar—

Qingming Festival?
Went to sweep the tombs?

But shouldn't they be back by now, it's so late?

Seeing that Ziqi started pretending to be dead, Shen Zhaoyi immediately switched back to the voice chat room and started showering gifts with them.

zy sent [Romantic Castle] x1 to [vic. Ziqi] in [Victoria Harbour].

zy sent [Romantic Castle] x2 to [vic. Ziqi] in [Victoria Harbour].

……

[Xiao Che: What's going on?]

[A-Yue: No, Ziqi, you little brat?]

[Changfeng: Take a screenshot, I'm going to report this to them right now!]

[Moon: Your Majesty, I must denounce Consort Qi!]

……

Ziqi was so frightened by this that his hand trembled, and he immediately begged for mercy:

Stop it, sis, I was wrong!

If Su Ye really saw this, he'd think I was trying to steal her away at this crucial moment!

Seeing his reaction, Shen Zhaoyi knew she had used the right method and slowly replied: [I won't ask what secrets you're hiding, just tell me whether Su Ye is alright or not!]

After hesitating for a long time, Ziqi finally relented and said that he didn't know either.

Every year around this time, Su Ye's condition is off, and he thought things would be better this year with ZY appearing. But now it seems he was just overthinking it.

But this can't go on forever. People who always confine themselves to the past will run into problems.

Hearing this, Shen Zhaoyi was intrigued by the secret.

She desperately wanted to know!

Despite several attempts to subtly probe, Ziqi refused to speak.

After a long pause, he suddenly asked:
[Sister, do you really care about Su Ye?]

Shen Zhaoyi thought to herself, "Isn't that obvious?"

I've spent millions on gifts, even though I initially went in hoping for a high cashback rate...

Ziqi also thought of this, and at the same time, he also knew that the two of them video-slept every day.

This relationship is getting a little too intense.

For his friend's mental health, he still suggested:

I think it would be better if you talked to him about this in person.

[In person? Meet up? Where am I supposed to find someone like that!]

Isn't this jumping a bit too fast?

Shen Zhaoyi hesitated.

Ziqi thought she was serious and wanted the address, so he sent her his location and then said he was going to the hall to pick up the boss.

No matter what I sent, he didn't reply.

The two of them were talking at cross purposes and both misunderstood each other.

Shen Zhaoyi's head started to ache when she saw the address in G City.

Even if I buy a ticket now and take a taxi, I don't know when I'll arrive.

Besides, given her relationship with Su Ye, is it really appropriate for her to take the initiative to seek him out now?
Not suitable.

Shen Zhaoyi is never the one who takes the initiative.

But her unusual behavior today is very different from what she used to be.

After thinking for a moment, she called Su Ye again.

The first three calls were not answered, and the last one was hung up.

That proves the person is still alright.

But he just wouldn't reply to her messages, and coupled with Ziqi's ambiguous words, Shen Zhaoyi felt like ants were crawling inside her.

What exactly is the past?

Why all the secrecy?
Is it a broken past?
She was already imagining melodramatic, tragic youth literature in her mind.

【Are you in a bad mood? Can you tell me?】 Shen Zhaoyi sent Su Ye another message.

No reply.

She added, "Su Ye, can you talk to me?"

This humble tone was something she had never used in her past relationships.

However, the message still went unanswered.

Shen Zhaoyi had no choice but to deliberately provoke him: "Not speaking, do you dislike me?"

Sure enough, this tactic worked quickly.

My phone vibrated—

Su Ye: [No.]

Shen Zhaoyi's lips curled up; she had taken the bait.

She knew, of course, that Su Ye wouldn't dislike her; as long as he replied, they could continue chatting.

What we need to do now is press our advantage.

Can you answer the phone? I'm so worried about you.

She was certain that Ziqi had tipped her off, and even more certain that the emotions she had built up were enough to break down Su Ye's defenses.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Shen Zhaoyi called again. This time, it rang for a long time, so long that she thought her method had not worked.

Finally got through.

“Zhaoyi”.

Su Ye's voice came from the other end of the phone, no longer as gentle as before.

Shen Zhaoyi felt a pang in her heart, and said softly, "I'm here."

Then the two fell silent, with only their breathing mingling.

Shen Zhaoyi's patience was surprisingly good at this moment, and she waited until Su Ye spoke again: "I'm sorry..."

"Huh? I'm the one who should be apologizing!" she immediately replied.

Su Ye was visibly taken aback. "What does this have to do with you?"

Shen Zhaoyi deliberately said, "Isn't it because I was on someone else's live stream last night while I was accompanying the crew?"

　Actually, the original plan for this chapter was that the two had already met, but considering that Su Ye's screen time seemed to be too much, we balanced it out, so it feels a bit abrupt. Please don't criticize us, we really did listen to feedback and made adjustments to the plot.
