Chapter 586: Chapter 586
Su Zhe froze for a moment, lifted his eyes to look at him, and hesitantly asked, “Say... say what?”
Shen Xun'’s voice was calm, “Say that you're sure you don’t wantto cover, you're sure you don’t want
my company, you're sure you wantto go back early.”
Shen Xun'’s voice revealed sfatigue, “Su Zhe, | drove here all night not to listen to lies, so look into my eyes
and say it again. You just have to look into my eyes and say it once, and I'll take it as the truth, and I'll leave
immediately.”
Shen Xun took a deep breath and said the last sentence, “Then I'll go back to Beijing, get married, have children
as you wish, and never appear in front of you again. I, Shen Xun, a man of my word, do as | say. Tell me, are you
sure?”
He stared unwaveringly into Su Zhe's eyes.
Then he saw those eyes, already red and weary, beceven redder.
Su Zhe bit his back teeth, and the voice that squeezed out of his throat was like spitting blood, “I don’t.”
“Don’t what?” Shen Xun asked.
Su Zhe gritted his teeth, “I won't say it.”
“It wasn’t to say forto go back?”
Su Zhe trembled as he took a light breath, “I was lying to you.”
“Said it was okay?”
“That was a lie too,” Su Zhe lifted his bloodshot eyes to glance at him.
Then he raised his hand to cover his eyes, not wanting to let him see his vulnerability, but the vulnerability in his
voice was still unmistakable.
Su Zhe asked in a low voice, “Why did it take you so long to come...”
It sounded like a sobbing complaint.
Shen Xun frowned, pulled him over, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and gently patted his back.
Frowning, he said, “Otherwise, would you have learned your lesson? You said you'd pushaway and just did it,
not even prostitutes do that, and here | am with real feelings.”
Zhao Tong stood to the side, a bit dazed.
He could sort of understand, but not quite.
So he summed up a thousand words into one, “What the fuck?”
Su Lu witnessed this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought for a moment and figured, “Alright, probably nothing for us to do here.”
No matter what others say, probably none of it is as effective as what Shen Xun says in front of Su Zhe.
From a distance, Su Lu saw her brother's shoulders trembling gently.
He always maintained his composure in front of others, only revealing his vulnerability in front of that most
special person.
Su Zhe's eyes were bloodshot, his voice very hoarse: “I don’t have a dad anymore.”
Shen Xun didn’t know how to comfort him, after all, people whose parents are alive can never truly understand
the emptiness of those who have lost both parents, who have a path ahead but no way back.
Shen Xun thought for a moment, and could only say, “My dad... might as well not exist. If that makes you feel
any better.”
Clearly, it didn’t offer much comfort.
Shen Xun paused, then only managed to add, “My mom has always treated you as her own son.”
Hearing him mention Zhao Ying, Su Zhe’s shoulders shook even more violently, pressing his eyes against Shen
Xun’s shoulder.
Shen Xun just felt the warm liquid soaking through the clothes on his shoulder.
Su Zhe’s voice was filled with painful shame, “Yes, she always treatedas her own son, and now... how can |
face her? What face do I have to face her?”
The shin Su Zhe’s heart was overwhelming, and even now, he remembered how kind Zhao Ying had been to
him, how gentle.
Knowing that he had been seriously ill as a child and was not in good health, she always expressed concern for
him.
Whenever the weather changed or seasons transitioned, she would buy him new clothes, regularly make
nourishing soups for him to eat, and even during family trips to hot springs, Zhao Ying would nag about Zhe’s
poor health, insisting that soaking in hot springs every now and then was beneficial for his health.
How could he face Zhao Ying?
Just thinking about it, Su Zhe felt that perhaps he should atone with his death.
Shen Xun gently patted his shoulder, “Your parents have both passed away.”
“Hmm.” Su Zhe didn’t understand why he mentioned this, but Shen Xun was stating a fact, so he acknowledged
i)
“So don’t worry needlessly. On my parents’ side, I'll handle it myself; you just need to take care of your own
parents’ affairs,” said Shen Xun.
Su Zhe was suddenly at a loss for words.
Shen Xun sighed softly, “Actually, | wanted to say this initially. | figured this would be your concern, so | planned
to talk to you about it at the right time, but you never gavethe chance.”
Su Zhe was speechless; indeed, he hadn't thought about the fact that Shen Xun had already planned so many
things.
He had simply retreated into his shell.
It turned out that the Shen siblings were braver when it cto matters of the heart.
And he himself, while he had always despised how Bo Jingshen had initially been timid in love, thinking it caused
Su Lu a lot of pain and made them miss out on so much ttogether.
Maybe... sometimes, people just turn into what they dislike.

Su Zhe hummed in response.
“I just wanted to take a gamble, to see how long you could be stubborn, to see if | could ever pry you out of your
shell.”
Su Zhe’s lips curved into a smile, “You won.”
Although they had reconciled, it wasn’t possible to be overly affectionate in front of their younger siblings and
brother-in-law; it just wasn’t appropriate.
They shared only the joy of reunion and the comforting knowledge that they could now support each other.
Shen Xun was a very composed person, and having had experience in a search and rescue team, experiencing
many life and death situations, he was even more composed than they were.
He immediately started organizing methodically.
He sent out the death notices first, then called a professional funeral service team to handle the arrangements.
Su Zhe really didn’t know how to manage these things and could say he had been through so much lately that
he was somewhat confused.
Su Lu, also having never handled anyone's funeral, was quite clueless.
Having Shen Xun there, however, was like having a pillar of strength, which reassured everyone significantly.
Su Zhe, too, felt like he finally had someone to rely on, and the tightly wound string in him relaxed.

Su Zhe had been holding on, keeping tense, keeping that last breath tight.
Until after Su Yukan’s memorial service was finished, the cremation done, and he was buried in the cemetery in
the joint grave with his mother.
Exiting the cemetery, on the way back to the city, Su Zhe passed out in the car.
