Chapter 1117 -22 I Am Willing (Added for Clan Leader Ting XiQianXi!)_2
Lin Xian curled up his legs, lifting his head to look at the ceiling:
“Do you remember, you once received an invitation from the ‘Genius Club’?”
“Red velvet cardstock, sealed with a wax stamp on the front, with five gilded characters on the back.”
“It was you who took it from my hands at the time, right when the Rhine Cat Doll prototypes were produced, you took both the invitation and the Rhine Cat Doll from me.”
Zhao Yingjun recalled for a moment:
“I remember this.”
“After I got back to my office, I opened the invitation, and inside was a QR code. I scanned it, and it was related to the Apple conference.”
“Isn’t Apple known for its Genius Bar, that kind of service center? I took the invitation for an Apple ad at the time, didn’t give it much thought, and just tossed it into a drawer.” freewёbnoνel.com
Lin Xian nodded:
“That’s the incident, nearly two years have passed since then.”
“And everything that has happened in these two years, me, Chu Anqing, Yu Xi, the Blue-Eyed Girl number 17 you met that day, Hibernation Pods, Xu Yun… and so on and so forth, all of it began with that invitation.”
“That invitation, both real and fake, was delivered by a woman to the front desk of MX Company, and that woman’s name was…”
Lin Xian took a deep breath.
And uttered that heavy, nostalgic name:
“Huang Que.”
…
Afterward, Lin Xian told Zhao Yingjun everything related to the matter.
Including his own dreams, the origin of Huang Que, Genius Club, the operation to capture Space-Time Particles, Millennium Stakes, the real and fake Yu Xi…
He recounted the tale of these two years in full detail.
Actually.
Zhao Yingjun should have known about these things long ago.
After all, Huang Que knew all about him, it must have also been Lin Xian from her own timeline who personally told her.
It goes without saying, Zhao Yingjun was bound to know his secrets eventually.
That’s why she became Huang Que, traveling through time and space to arrive here.
That’s why she built Rhine Sky City, leaving a gap for her to land, for a reunion 600 years later.
This is just what Lin Xian knew about the two Zhao Yingjuns.
In the countless world lines that he had yet to touch or understand…
How much had Zhao Yingjun done for him?
She was that kind of woman.
Loyal, steadfast, courageous, and fearless.
Lin Xian also believed that, in any world line, Zhao Yingjun would become Huang Que, become the White Jade Statue, become a pillar of strength—and even at the cost of her life, if necessary—to support him.
One could say.
Without Huang Que coming through time to guide and help him, Lin Xian felt that he would have died long ago.
Even though Huang Que played a limited role, the hints and guidance she brought were crucial, almost turning the whole situation around.
Recalling their first encounter in Zhao Yingjun’s office, that night of panic.
“Next time we meet, just call me Huang Que.”
Huang Que said with a faint smile, leaving those words behind as she left.
Lin Xian took it as a mockery of himself…
The praying mantis catches the cicada, with the oriole behind.
Wasn’t the name Huang Que just mocking him for a failed attempt?
But now.
Lin Xian had a whole new understanding of the alias “Huang Que.”
Huang Que is behind.
“Behind” here was referring to his own back.
Huang Que is in the rear.
She was always there behind him, in every timeline, whenever he turned around, whenever he looked for her, she was there.
Even the Zhao Yingjun who hadn’t yet become Huang Que was the same.
If he didn’t tell her the truth, she would wait silently, pretending to be unaware, asking no questions;
If he told her the truth, she would listen earnestly, forever resolute and standing with him.
At this moment.
Zhao Yingjun, leaning against him, listened very attentively, pondering every word.
Stories that sounded extremely fantastical.
Zhao Yingjun didn’t interrupt Lin Xian once, she took every unbelievable description as the truth, trusting unconditionally.
“So…”
After Lin Xian finished speaking, Zhao Yingjun began:
“So, Huang Que is me from some other timeline, who after your defeat and death, traveled through time back to our era, to guide you onto the correct path.”
“Now that you’ve told me everything, could it be…”
She lifted her head.
And looked at Lin Xian with a bit of worry:
“Could it be that you’re already prepared to sacrifice yourself, or to die, so that I might become the next Huang Que after your failure?”
“No, no, no.”
Lin Xian waved his hand:
“That’s not what I meant at all.”
“I don’t know how many Huang Ques, how many Lin Xians, how many Zhao Yingjuns have been through to save all this… but I think every failure turns into experience and accumulation to make the next attempt closer to success.”
“At least until now, I have never once thought of giving up, I’ve truly fallen many times on this path to salvation, taken many detours, and made many mistakes… but I have never thought about giving up, I will keep persisting.”
“I believe you will succeed.”
Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian:
“I always said you were meant for greatness, and as it turns out, I have a pretty good eye.”
Upon saying this.
She let out a soft sigh, her head leaning on Lin Xian’s shoulder, looking at her hands laid flat on her abdomen, she spoke softly:
“According to your logic, Huang Que should be Yu Xi’s mother from some world line… but due to unavoidable circumstances, she had to leave Yu Xi, which led to Yu Xi becoming an orphan, utilized by enemies, trained into an agent.”
