See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 - Because He Had His Own Selfishness.
The windows in the hospital room had already all been sealed shut. It was a blazing hot day outside, and there was even wind. The branches and leaves swayed.
Shi Jian said she wanted to leave the hospital. The professional psychological nurse that the Shi family hired was stunned. Then she walked over with a small smile and started to patiently placate her. Did they still think she was sick? Shi Jian turned her head and tried her best to express her words normally and make her meaning clear—— She wanted to leave the hospital. She could leave the hospital.
The psychological nurse promptly gave Madam Fang a call.
After Shi Jian’s accident, Mama Shi and Father Shi immediately came back from England. Then, Madam Fang had stayed within the country to be with her daughter. Yesterday, Madam Fang asked her daughter whether she wanted to eat the fried dough in noodle soup that she often made when Shi Jian was little. Her daughter unexpectedly nodded. So today, Mrs.Fang specifically came to the Yang household kitchen and personally started cooking. She wasn’t in the hospital.
When her daughter got better, she wasn’t by her side. When she had an accident, she tried to make up for the mother’s love that she didn’t have…… Madam Fang had spoken to her husband about this two days ago. They would bring their daughter to England next month so they could properly take care of her. Even if Jian-er would continue to be like this for her whole life, they could accept it. Even living dumbly was better than not living at all. They felt much more remorseful when thinking of Father Ye and Mama Ye. Then, Mayor Ye comforted them in return, “Other than being my son, Jiacheng is still a man. I am very proud of the fact that he protected the girl he loved in his final moments. I am very proud! Otherwise, I would be more disappointed in him……”
The tragedy had already happened. How could they cope with the sorrow that was left behind? Could time still heal everything? Some sorrow had no way of being healed, unless time could rewind once more.
Shi Jian didn’t expect herself to be able to wake up again. She was sitting by the shut window watching the sunny day outside, pondering whether this world was real or not. Why had everything changed?
Thinking about the vivid scene of the car crash again, and what Ye Jiacheng’s last words to her were…… Shi Jian couldn’t take it and bit her hand fiercely.
Her right hand was already a tragic sight. It was wrapped in white bandages. Even after they went mad, a person couldn’t escape the despair.
The memories played over again in her brain, forming everything she knew in the past half a year. She’d heard everything that each person had said to her. Father Ye, Mama Ye, her own parents, Auntie, Uncle, Zhang Kai, Gao Yanfei, Yi Biya…… and Yi Pei.
——
After Shi Jian left the hospital, the first thing she did was go to Qinglin City. Because of herself, she had no courage to walk into that house in this lifetime. She had hurt Father Ye and Mama Ye. Her parents-in-law had lost their only son. But they still unexpectedly invited her inside, happy that she was recovering. Mama Ye made tea for her. Shi Jian apologized over and over again.
“Little Shi, it was the car that had a malfunction…… We don’t blame you, and we shouldn’t blame you……” Mama Ye was choked with emotion. She shouldn’t say it, but her heart had been weird. But Shi Jian was also the girl that her son had used his life to save…… Using her husband’s words, she had to respect her son’s choice. Mama Ye couldn’t help it and asked Shi Jian about what happened. Her husband had told her that the results of the investigation was that the car had malfunctioned. Only, it was a fine car. How had an accident happened?
“Could it be because someone had deliberately hurt our Cheng Cheng?” Mama Ye anxiously tugged on her husband’s arm.
“How could they hurt him? Who would dare hurt him? If he didn’t go off hurting other people, I would thank the heavens!” Mayor Ye interrupted Mama Ye. He intentionally stopped her and took a deep breath. He continued, “Little Shi, Jiacheng’s legal case had already ended. Indeed it was the car that had a malfunction, and that led to the accident…… Our Ye family isn’t looking to file a lawsuit with the car manufacturer for compensation. We don’t need any compensation. We only wish to end the situation here and not bring it up again. I can still pretend that my son lives on in my heart.”
Mayor Ye said this because he didn’t wish for Shi Jian to become involved with the investigation. Mayor Ye didn’t not understand why his son had an accident. Only, compared with the results, his son was a man who reaped what he sowed. He would rather his son be taken away by heaven because he did not educate Ye Jiacheng well enough. He had taught him since he was a child. Ye Jiacheng had never listened to him and just had to get into real estate!
“Little Shi, didn’t you originally plan to go study abroad?” Mayor Ye continued, “Forget about this. Go abroad. Go with your mother and father and let them have hope. You are still very young. You need to start a new life.”
Ye Jiacheng hoped for her to go abroad. Her father-in-law also hoped for her to go abroad. Shi Jian sat silently. She had been the daughter-in-law of the Ye family for five years. She wouldn’t ignore her father-in-law’s wishes. He continued: “After you go abroad, study properly, make more friends, and forget about this. Forget Ye Jiacheng too…… Look, he used to not take responsibility and also was apathetic……’
Mayor Ye’s eyes had reddened. A father speaking about his son like this; how could he not feel the pain?
Shi Jian only shook her head, continuing to deny Mayor Ye’s words. He was apathetic, not taking responsibility. She didn’t not blame Ye Jiacheng for these things before…… Her tears softly flowed down. She also had no way to forget. They didn’t know that Ye Jiacheng was not only a handsome man that she’d run into who made her happy and also made her angry, he was also her husband, family, as well as the person she would love forever.

Mayor Ye was still angry. He was angry at Ye Jiacheng. Even if he beat his chest and stomped his feet he would not be able to dispel this anger. Ye Jiacheng had said to her before that he and his father were naturally at odds with each other, but his father had changed a lot after his surgery. After all, he had to learn how to get old! Ye Jiacheng felt that his father didn’t understand him, and also understood that Mayor Ye loved him deeply but hated everything about him.
Shi Jian passed on the words that Ye Jiacheng told her. It was also his final request of his parents to have them adopt a sister for him. After Shi Jian said this, Mama Ye started sobbing silently. The originally tough Mayor Ye also started crying. Shi Jian also lost control. The grief didn’t allow her to be herself. She consoled them hopelessly, and directly called them “mom” and “dad”, just like how she called them “in the past”. She was by their side as their daughter-in-law.
Yes, daughter-in-law! Shi Jian showed her parents-in-law the diamond ring she wore on her ring finger, “……I’ve already accepted Jiacheng’s marriage proposal.”
So could they allow her to continue to be the Ye family’s daughter in law in this life? Could they allow her to take care of them in place of Ye Jiacheng, to love them……?
Shi Jian lived in Qinglin City for a long period of time. Then, she went to England.
She still went after she had dithered around for so long. Only, her attitude about it was completely different to before. Shi Jian waited in the lobby with Madam Fang. They were waiting for Professor Shi to finish their luggage check-in. She was wearing a new hat that Madam Fang bought her. She kept the brim low on her face.
After being ill for half a year, the color of Shi Jian’s face and her appearance weren’t too good, as well as her weight. She had lightened by ten pounds.
Zhang Kai came out with Yi Pei from the VIP passageway. He spotted Father Shi and Mother Shi first, then Shi Jian, who was sitting next to Mother Shi. Was Shi Jian about to go now? Or maybe to her, this was the best plan.
Her gaze was far away. Shi Jian kept her head lowered, and had a hat on. She was wearing crisp white athletic wear, but her face wasn’t looking good. She was sitting dumbly against the railing.
How would her face look healthy? She had been ill for so long. She looked very thin, and so quiet.
Zhang Kai felt his heartbeat stop for two moments. He glanced at A-Pei, who was in front. Should he mention it to Yi Pei and go say goodbyes?
He had been extremely busy recently, so Zhang Kai hadn’t been to the hospital in a long time. Even though A-Pei no longer brought up Shi Jian, every time he returned from visiting the hospital, it wasn’t good for him to talk about Shi Jian too much with A-Pei. Really, it wasn’t good to bring her up too much. His feelings towards Shi Jian were different from A-Pei’s feelings towards Shi Jian. He could always love Shi Jian dearly, but A-Pei couldn’t. Thus, he could stop while he was ahead with some of his feelings.
Zhang Kai sighed. So he was a realist. He used to want to match A-Pei and Shi Jian together because he thought that Shi Jian’s bright and strong temperament especially suited A-Pei. After he discovered that A-Pei also liked Shi Jian, he hoped for them to be together even more…… Then Shi Jian got together with that southern wolf. The two of them probably had genuine love. In the end, the events of half a year ago happened.
Ai! Of course he was happy that Shi Jian could recover. But Zhang Kai really didn't want A-Pei to continue having feelings for Shi Jian. It was too exhausting to love a woman with a lot of scars on her heart.
Thus, maybe he was more biased towards Yi Pei. After all, Shi Jian was only a subordinate and friend that he liked, so much so that for a time, he was even annoyed by her, stubbornly, and looked down upon her.
Zhang Kai distantly saw, and of course, Yi Pei noticed too. His footsteps stopped and he looked in that direction. He looked on with a calm expression, as if…… he didn’t want to step forward.
Zhang Kai sighed, “A-Pei, I’ll go……”
Shi Jian had already stood. She had to grab her carry-on bag. She was stopped by Professor Shi and the family of three walked together towards the security check in area. Zhang Kai had planned to go greet them, but Yi Pei stopped him, “Zhang Kai, there’s no need.”
The present Shi Jian wouldn’t want to see any familiar faces.
On the airport highway, Zhang Kai was pondering a question. Would Shi Jian still come back?
Would she still come back? He really didn’t know.
Yi Pei was also pondering this. He gazed outside the car window. In front of him appeared the moment that Shi Jian was begging him when she had lost her wisdom and had a tiny spark of hope: “Yi Pei, you are so powerful. Can you save Ye Jiacheng? I beg you……”
Was he powerful? Right now, he was only a man surrounded by privilege. Even if in the future he became that entrepreneur celebrity that she read about in that biography of hers, he still did not have that power. He could give her love, but did she need it?
He had already told her everything about his meeting with Ye Jiacheng the day he had his accident. Whether she would return in the future was up to her to decide.
Because he had his own selfishness.
Author’s Note:
Apologies. Having written up to this point, [I’ve] discovered that the plot has issues. There is no way to write the next part of the plot according to the initial plan; it would need to be completely reworked, so I have no way to update the next chapters for the time being. Big Zhu will directly publish the final ending after writing all of it.
Really, I’m very sorry to the fans who have been following this novel. As a result of my attempt to write in a “only knowing the ending at the very last moment” style, and always fighting with myself, I don’t have enough ability. I made too many mistakes in the past three months. The only way I can make it up to you all is for you all to screenshot your [payment info] and Big Zhu will fully refund you. But Big Zhu can only take care of that after writing finishes.
Apologies.
Below is the ending that Big Zhu had planned. Everyone should take a look. This nonsense inspiration originally came from «The Day of the Plane Crash».
……
Eight years later, Shi Jian bought a plane ticket to Japan, even though there was no longer a Mr.Ye waiting for her there. Unexpectedly, the number on her boarding pass was the same. Shi Jian was sitting in the original plane that had an accident. What she didn’t know was that Yi Pei had also boarded this plane after she did.
It turned out that in the first plane crash Shi Jian was in, Yi Pei was also on that plane. One sat in the economy class, and the other in the first class cabin.
And, the two of them were also the two survivors rescued from the wreckage.
Yi Pei woke up with his memories, and Yi Mao stocks stopped rising. He asked Zhang Kai whether he knew Shi Jian. Zhang Kai shook his head. Time seemed to all return. But was everything just an illusion? An illusion of ten years. He knew a woman called Shi Jian.
A woman that could prevail against time.
Shi Jian lost against time the first time, and won the second time. She waited eight years for a miracle. She brought her love when she went, and she returned with her love.
Shi Jian and Ye Jiacheng were both crying on opposite sides of the glass in the hospital room. The messy and tangled timelines all converged into a single sentence: Jiacheng, she had returned. And Ye Jiacheng’s, “Little fox, thanks for coming back.”
……
Originally, Big Zhu had thought that in the last chapter, there would be an ending where the plane had an accident, and an ending without the accident for the Yi fans.
In the end, as I kept writing, I leaned more and more towards the ending where Shi Jian returned. Then, Mr.Ye and Ye Jiacheng would merge. It would be where three people worked together to complete a miracle.
The next parts are basically still this ending. They will all be released together when finished. The net was too wide this time. Big Zhu was rushing too much. Big Zhu will definitely write the remaining parts well.
