After Lin Xinhe was knocked unconscious by Shen Liyan hitting him with a garbage bag, his mind was filled with many bizarre and fantastical images, the contents of which seemed to be real.
He dreamt that he grew up in peace and happiness, with a smooth and successful life. In high school, he met Shen Liyan, who was lonely and helpless. They were entangled in love and hate, but in the end, Shen Liyan broke up with him and got engaged to someone else, leaving him in a hopeless situation.
After being rescued by his nemesis Lu Xingzhi, he became obsessed with possessiveness and killed Lu Xingzhi, then brought him back to his side.
Imprisonment, coercion, the breaking of his wings and legs, tormented him to the point of being unrecognizable as a human being. This not only damaged Shen Liyan's entire being, both physically and mentally, but also made him hate himself intensely.
At the same time, he also hurt the innocent Omega Ruoxi Lin, who was engaged to him, then dumped by him, and finally abandoned by her family and fell to her death.
Throughout the entire process, he was like a puppet, manipulated into doing things that even he himself couldn't understand, things that covered almost half of the criminal law. Like an idiot, he hadn't even been caught and shot yet.
Lin Xinhe didn't know why he had become like this. When he first saw Shen Liyan in his dream, the heart-fluttering amazement and the desire to protect him were real.
Yet he still did those self-righteous things, hurting not only Shen Liyan Ruo Xilin, but also other innocent workers who worked diligently for the Lin Family, only to lose their lives because of his one wrong thought...
Lin Xinhe watched as those bizarre dreams suddenly faded away, replaced by Shen Liyan's hateful and ruthless gaze as he committed suicide. Before slitting his own throat, he plunged the knife into Shen Liyan's body, and then, without hesitation, jumped off the high-rise building just like Ruo Xilin.
Hatred spread... His heart ached so much he convulsed... He coughed up blood and never woke up again... Then, Lin Xinhe, now awake, was startled awake.
He found himself in the infirmary, his mind in complete disarray. He didn't know who he was or who he should be, so he took a week off.
Over the course of that week, he sorted out many confusing things and then realized that he was Lin Xinhe, a new Lin Xinhe who had been integrated into the memories of his dream.
Lin Xinhe was also reborn... and then he discovered that this world was completely different from the world in his dream. Shen Liyan had a background and power that even the Lin Family was wary of.
He and Lu Xingzhi became the closest of childhood friends, and even lived together. His birthplace was no longer in S City, but in Twilight Grassland.
A place filled with freedom and the wind, the place Shen Liyan longed for most in his dreams, a place where he could never attain the freedom he had prayed for his entire life, and where flocks of sheep could be seen everywhere; it was the place his heart most desired to return to...
Lin Xinhe didn't know what the world was like, nor why he had been reborn here, but he was certain that he wanted to make amends for something.
So he spent eight weeks getting close to Shen Liyan, observing him, watching him, trying to see something out of him, though he didn't know what he was trying to see.
No matter how he looked at him, Shen Liyan still didn't have any good feelings towards him. In fact, when he Shen Liyan glanced at him, his eyes would unconsciously flash with the hatred and malice that only appeared in his dreams, but he himself was unaware of it.
After observing for a long time, Lin Xinhe finally understood that this world was Shen Liyan's own world, and this Shen Liyan was still the Shen Liyan from the world in his dream.
That lifetime was too painful, so he chose to forget, but his soul still trembles and feels nauseous whenever it sees him... In other words, he will never love him again...
Lin Xinhe felt intense hatred, but he didn't know who to hate. Wasn't it his past self who had caused this situation? What right did he have to express hatred?
Perhaps, in the world that Shen Liyan loves, he shouldn't exist at all, but he still exists. Why? Not because of love, but simply because Shen Liyan is a kind and upright person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured it for so long in his past life before killing him at the most painful moment. If he had been treated like that, he probably would have killed him and fled on the very first day.
Perhaps he was too focused on his thoughts, which caused his gaze to become somewhat fierce, making Shen Liyan's deskmate unconsciously rub his arms. Only then did he realize that his recent observations had indeed been somewhat presumptuous.
So he got up and ran away, looking dejected. After that day, he would never appear in front of Shen Liyan again. Perhaps, Shen Liyan and Lu Xingzhi were the ones who would be truly happy together.
He silently awaited his retribution, hoping to fall into hell along with the Lin Family. Perhaps this was the only way for a sinful person to atone for the innocent.
As for Ruo Xilin, he would not provoke her again. Even if it meant an arranged marriage between their families, he would not agree. Such an innocent person should have been enjoying the best life in her own family, not going to hell with him...
Shen Liyan was unaware of Lin Xinhe's situation, but Nuomi received a constant stream of feelings of guilt and remorse.
In the midst of his busy schedule, he opened the system panel and discovered that Lin Xinhe had been reborn and had begun to reflect on himself. He then told Shang Shujue about this.
"Huh~ Does someone as arrogant Lin Xinhe ever reflect on his mistakes?" Shang Shujue looked at the guilt and repentance points that were increasing every day on the system panel, stroking his chin thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought.
"Host, it's because you yourself are practically a god, and the World Consciousness are all your followers. People like Lin Xinhe, under the influence of your aura, will become clear-headed and begin to repent, no matter how arrogant they are. So it's not surprising."
Nuomi didn't see anything wrong with it; in fact, she talked to him while working, as if they were very familiar with each other.
"Human beings born into this vast world are not simply black and white. If a person truly repents, even if their sins are grave and they are reborn into the animal realm three times, suffering punishments such as being eaten or abused, they can still be reborn as a human."
"Yes, that's true. Let's ignore Lin Xinhe for now. Since he's showing signs of backing down, his spotlight will naturally shift to Lu Xingzhi, and the Lin Family will fall. We just need to let things take their course."
Shang Shujue spun around in his office chair and took a big sip of lemonade. The cool, sweet and sour taste made him feel much better. He wanted to have another sip, but someone snatched the lemonade away.
" A-Jue, your fever only broke yesterday, so avoid drinking cold drinks."
Song Yanqing frowned as he looked at Shang Shujue, his eyes filled with worry and disapproval. This guy suddenly had the idea to go to the snow mountain to cosplay as a snowman yesterday, but after playing around, he developed a high fever that night and it took a long time for the fever to break.
"Hehe... I just got so excited that I forgot. It's all because you spoil me too much. Besides, I didn't expect my body to be so fragile. I couldn't even stand being half-buried in the snow. I should have known better than to go up north to cosplay as a snowman."
Shang Shujue felt a little guilty, but he confidently turned the tables on Song Yanqing first. Then he sniffed his stuffy nose, snuggled against Song Yanqing's shoulder, and snuggled up to him like a little animal.
"Sigh, I'm really exasperated with you." Song Yanqing handed him a tissue and gently rubbed his head, her heart pounding. "Does your head still hurt? Take your medicine again."
"Thank goodness, you don't need medicine anymore, you'll be fine soon."
Shang Shujue looked utterly repulsed. If he hadn't run out of points, he would have bought the Healing Pill long ago. Oh dear, he was too hasty. He should have used it more sparingly.
Nuomi glanced at the two of them indifferently, offering no comment. He was used to it. He lowered his head and continued working. Simple tasks brought him the most joy, hehehe...
