Chapter 204 You must have misread it.

Song Yan frowned, pulled Lin Shuangyu up, and warned her in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Stay away from the child!"

Lin Shuangyu remained noncommittal: "What? I just haven't seen Si Yuan in so long, and I'm a little excited to see her child. Is that not allowed?"

You know perfectly well what you're trying to do.

He pushed her aside and stood in front of Si Xingzhou.

"Xiao Zhou, have you washed your hands?"

Si Xingzhou nodded.

Song Yan patted his little head and said softly, "Good boy, go find your mother. Your uncle will be there in a bit."

Si Xingzhou glanced at Lin Shuangyu, and probably also felt that the visitor was up to no good, so he turned around and ran back to his seat.

Once Song Yan confirmed that Si Xingzhou had left, his expression turned completely cold.

Lin Shuangyu was still remarking, "I never expected to see you treat a child so gently."

Because someone else was coming, Song Yan could only suppress his emotions and warn Lin Shuangyu in a low voice.

"Behave yourself and stay away from us."

——

As soon as Si Xingzhou returned, he saw that Si Yuan had woken up. He sat in the counter seat, holding his mother's hand, and said that he had just gone to wash his hands.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Si Xingzhou said mysteriously, "Mom, I just saw Uncle with a very pretty aunt. That aunt even said she's my future aunt."

Si Yuan was stunned. It seemed that Song Yan had been approached by someone.

In fact, Si Yuan really hopes that Song Yan can start over and have his own feelings and life.

She smiled and said, "Maybe I really will become your aunt."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Yan returned.

Si Yuan turned around and saw that he looked a little flustered, not at all like someone who had been hit on by a beautiful woman, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Song Yan smiled weakly.

Lin Shuangyu, who should have died long ago, isn't he a ghost?

But he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Si Yuan assumed he was just embarrassed and didn't ask any further questions.

When they got off the plane, Si Xingzhou followed Si Yuan and saw that red figure again in the crowd.

The woman, hiding in the crowd, greeted Si Xingzhou.

Si Xingzhou ignored him and turned his gaze back.

——

They arrived in the afternoon. Si Yuan took Si Xingzhou out for dinner, and they rested at the hotel for the night. The next day, she planned to take him to Disneyland.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Song Yan waiting at the door, dressed casually.

Si Yuan frowned and asked, "Weren't you going to inspect the branch office?"

Song Yan smiled and said frankly, "Inspecting is really boring. I sent Assistant Qi instead. I also want to play with Xiao Zhou."

Si Yuan was taken aback. Song Yan didn't mention her, saying it was for the sake of the child, so she naturally couldn't refuse.

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Si Yuan had agreed.

He didn't want to pursue Si Yuan so closely, but Lin Shuangyu was also in Hong Kong, and he was afraid that Si Yuan and the child might be in danger.

Assistant Qi prepared a car for Song Yan, and the three of them headed to Disneyland together.

Upon arriving at the destination, Song Yan went to buy tickets.

Si Xingzhou looked up at his mother and asked, "Mom is unhappy again because Uncle is with us."

Si Yuan wasn't unhappy, but he always felt a little uncomfortable with Si Yuan around. He didn't expect it to be so obvious, even the child could tell.

How did Xiao Zhou know?

“You’re never very happy when your uncle shows up, I’m used to it.” Si Xingzhou paused, then added, “Did your uncle bully your mother before?”

This is the child's guess.

Si Yuan was speechless, unsure how to explain this complex relationship.

Before she turned eighteen, Song Yan treated her very well.

All of that happened after I turned eighteen.

He's the one who brings good things, and he's the one who brings bad things.

Song Yan bought the tickets and also brought Si Xingzhou an ice cream.

Si Xingzhou took it, said thank you, and then saw that Song Yan had bought Si Yuan a little rabbit headband that suited her very well.

The two didn't seem to have any deep-seated hatred for each other, but Mom just didn't like her uncle.

He sighed.

The adult world is truly complex.

Si Yuan put Si Xingzhou on the roller coaster, and then stood below to wait for him. Song Yan was also there.

Hearing the child's laughter, Song Yan suddenly smiled too, as he recalled the past.

"Do you remember your second year at the Song family?"

Si Yuan nodded: "I remember, you took me to the amusement park. At the time, I thought that after my parents passed away, no one would take me there anymore."

That day was the first time Si Yuan smiled happily since she went to the Song family.

From that moment on, she saw "Song Yan" as her older brother.

Song Yan said, "I never thought that one day I would be here with you and the child."

Si Yuan glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The two then took Si Xingzhou to play a few more games.

Si Yuan was a little tired, so she handed her things to Song Yan and said she wanted to go to the restroom.

She was washing her hands at the sink when someone walked past her.

The perfume scent was very familiar. Si Yuan frowned, subconsciously realizing that this was Lin Shuangyu's favorite perfume.

The reason she remembers it so clearly is probably because Lin Shuangyu used it for many years, and even poured this scented perfume into her mouth and forced her to drink it when she was in high school.

Si Yuan subconsciously looked up.

The red figure had already walked away.

Lin Shuangyu also really likes red...

The shadow she saw in the hospital five years ago is something Si Yuan has been wondering about all these years.

Now that things are the same again, she almost instinctively followed.

If you chase after her at this point, you can clearly see her face.

As soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into Song Yan.

He brought the child to the bathroom and noticed that Si Yuan's expression seemed off, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Si Yuan looked around the crowd again, but there was nothing there.

Si Yuan felt a pang of regret. She calmed herself down and suddenly looked up into Song Yan's eyes.

She stared at him, her gaze serious and earnest, and said, word by word, "Song Yan, I think I see Lin Shuangyu."

Song Yan's face stiffened.

He stood there, his face turning pale instantly.

Si Yuan stared at him, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "But...didn't she die back then?"

Song Yan snapped out of his daze, smiled, and tried to keep his voice steady: "Of course, I watched her being cremated with my own eyes. You've been too tired these past few days, you might have seen it wrong."

Si Yuan looked into Song Yan's eyes; he didn't seem to be lying.

She knew it was impossible, but her unease grew stronger.

She probably... really has a traumatic memory of Lin Shuangyu.

During her treatment for depression abroad, she would sometimes hallucinate Lin Shuangyu in the middle of the night, and sometimes she would even hallucinate the nurses giving her injections as Lin Shuangyu.

Perhaps it will be like this again.

Song Yan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't scare yourself."

He handed Si Xingzhou to Si Yuan and said, "Take Xiao Zhou to the restroom. I need to call Assistant Qi back; there might be something going on at the company."

Si Yuan calmed down a bit, took the child, and went into the bathroom.

Song Yan's smile vanished the moment she turned away, replaced by a gloomy chill.
