Chapter 102: Yan Qingxue: To Me, Your Being Alive Is More Important Than Anything Else

The next day.

"As expected, no matter how many times I study it, I can't help but feel your genes are special! The genes of the Blood Tribe are truly a unique existence."

"But there is no doubt your genes have changed compared to before!"

"Now you are like Evolto's child, if the Blood Tribe reproduces this way."

"Reprogramming Technology, a technique we considered back then, but we gave up because the difficulty was too great and we couldn't achieve it for the time being."

"I never expected Su Jing's power could accomplish such a thing; I'm becoming even more eager to take apart his Decade Driver and study it closely."

Shen Lingjing, wearing a white lab coat, hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze filled with chill.

Yan Qingxue was staring at her.

"Alright!" Shen Lingjing put up her hands in surrender: "Pretend I said nothing."

"I'm just curious; not everyone cares about one person like you do."

"Enough, shut up."

Yan Qingxue adjusted her clothes, picked up the warm coffee beside her, and took a light sip.

"Mmm-hmm~"

"By the way, is it appropriate for you to be sitting here right now?"

"Aren't you going to find him?"

Shen Lingjing asked with a smile.

Yan Qingxue paused for a moment: "..."

"I haven't thought about how to face him yet."

"He must be very angry right now."

"But just staying like this isn't good either; perhaps he is waiting for you to find him~" Shen Lingjing, enjoying the drama and not minding if things got worse, urged her on.

But Yan Qingxue listened and found it made sense.

"Never mind, I have to face him eventually."

She stood up, took a deep breath, made her preparations, and left.

At this moment.

Because the Chairman Office had been trashed and was in a mess.

Su Jing now had to use a temporary office.

After all, he was now the Chairman of Truth Technology.

Knock, knock!

As the sound of knocking on the door came from outside.

Yan Qingxue walked in.

Su Jing was still looking over the current data on Truth Technology provided by Xilina.

As a giant in the field of artificial intelligence, the matters of Truth Technology all looked headache-inducing.

Su Jing didn't even want to manage the Knight Association; how could he be willing to manage these broken matters?

Fortunately, he was good at finding tools.

So he directly dumped all the matters on Xilina.

Acting as a hands-off boss, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing thoughtfully outside.

Until Yan Qingxue walked in.

Only then did he turn around.

"You're here."

"I was wondering if you weren't planning to come see me!"

Yan Qingxue's red lips parted slightly, about to say something.

Suddenly, the Dimensional Wall opened.

Su Jing directly pulled her away.

Leaving only this sentence for Xilina: "Leave the matters of Truth Technology to you for now."

Then, Kyoto!

By the bridge.

It was already November; it was getting colder and colder here in Kyoto.

The howling wind swept over, and passersby on the road couldn't help but shiver, hurrying home.

Yan Qingxue's face showed confusion.

This was a place where they shared memories.

After Yan Qingxue lived alone, if she went out, she would come here, and Su Jing would be there too.

So looking at this place, she couldn't help but show a trace of nostalgic emotion.

But why come here now?

Before she could ask, she heard Su Jing say:

"Let's walk."

Watching the figure walking ahead, Yan Qingxue followed.

The cold wind of November blew. "Your body..."

Yan Qingxue was somewhat worried; perhaps he had been dragged back into the sickly state of those past two years.

Su Jing raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry, my body is completely fine now."

"Perhaps it's even better than before."

"Hmm." Yan Qingxue didn't press further on how it had improved.

After all, his expression showed he wasn't planning to say.

They stopped on the bridge.

Standing shoulder to shoulder.

Then, Su Jing gazed at the scenery ahead: "It's changed from the way we used to know it."

"Unknowingly, nearly six years have passed."

"The last time I came here, I hadn't become a Kamen Rider yet."

"Everything changes so fast."

Yan Qingxue's cold eyes looked at the building ahead: "Yes, back then there were no towering skyscrapers; from here, one could perfectly see the sunrise."

"Back then, this place was also more bustling with people."

"Do you remember that noodle shop you loved most back then? You dragged me there, insisting we try it. You asked if it tasted good, but actually, I've never had much sense of taste."

"Only the faint bitterness of coffee made me realize for the first time that this world wasn't entirely colorless and tasteless."

Perhaps it was due to being a mixed-blood.

Yan Qingxue had lacked a sense of taste for a very long time.

The reason she liked drinking coffee was simply because Evolto's coffee as a child had been truly terrible! It was even indescribable in words how bad it was!

But at the same time, that gave her a sliver of taste.

Though she could only feel the bitterness of coffee, that was enough.

"No wonder, back then I thought you were a bit too cold. Occasionally needing more emotions, so I added extra spice to your bowl, but you had no reaction at all."

Well, actually, he just wanted to see Yan Qingxue show other expressions.

But unfortunately, he failed back then.

Yan Qingxue: "..."

She was speechless to an extreme degree.

It sounded absurd, but it was indeed something Su Jing could do.

Su Jing was also looking at her with a side glance.

The two locked eyes.

Then Su Jing spoke: "Don't you have anything you want to say?"

Yan Qingxue: "..."

She fell silent for a moment, then gently brushed back her long hair: "Actually, I had many things I wanted to tell you before."

"An apology. I lied to you. I failed to protect Zhou Changnian and the others' lives. Because of my involvement, you were set up by Evolto."

"But I feel those things don't matter anymore."

"Su Jing, do you know what I was thinking when I was about to disappear with Evolto?"

"At that moment, I was thinking..."

"If there was a chance, I truly hoped to tell you in person!"

"When we reunited in Kyoto, seeing you recover made me very happy. And everything I said that day was the opposite!"

"For me, the only thing that truly matters has always been your survival! I wanted to tell you this in person!"

"Then isn't your survival important?" Su Jing gazed with narrowed eyes.

Yan Qingxue turned her head away, not answering the question.

For Su Jing, her survival was important.

But for her, that was not as important as Su Jing's survival.

Su Jing's face instantly darkened.

She was still the same as before.

Once she decided on something, she wouldn't change.

Of course, she wouldn't admit she was wrong either! But before he could say anything,

suddenly a phone call came through.

It was an emergency call placed through Iris.

From Jiang Li of the Kyoto Association.

He answered, and Jiang Li's urgent voice came through: "President, something has happened!"

"The headquarters was attacked by overseas Riders. They claim Kamen Rider Decade, the World Destroyer, attacked them. Now they want to capture you and bring you back for their trial!"

Su Jing: "????"

Who? Overseas Riders? I attacked them? I've been here the whole time!

Oh, Truth Technology is also overseas.

But Truth Technology is now mine; where would other Riders come from?
