Chapter 853: Zhen Xin
Zhen Xin's Past...
Cheng Shi suddenly laughed.
He didn't know if he was infected by a deep sisterly friendship, or felt that he had always underestimated the capacity of this chosen one of 【Deception】. In short, he extended his hand with a radiant smile and grabbed the card without hesitation.
Of course, to prevent being deceived, Cheng Steady hid Brother Tongue in his sleeve while touching the poker card.
After not feeling Brother Tongue's feedback, Cheng Shi's heart fell back into his stomach.
And when the Clown pinched the magician's poker card, a building style that was incomparably familiar gradually outlined in his consciousness:
Orphanage.
Zhen Xin didn't lie. She did show her biggest secret to Cheng Shi, but there were many considerations in it.
She recognized this player very early from her sister's memory, and when she obtained Cheng Shi's memory, she knew why her sister Zhen Yi cared so much about this Clown who had no fame in the peak circle before.
Because he and she had "extremely similar" yet "completely opposite" pasts.
Cheng Shi was a "natural" liar, but was raised as a good person by fatherly love.
And she... was a good person raised by warmth, but became a liar out of helplessness.
The past experience was the most resonant similarity between her and Cheng Shi, but it was not the only reason she dared to trust Cheng Shi completely.
Still that sentence, it was ultimately the fact that Cheng Shi saved An Mingyu that allowed Zhen Xin's inner sustenance to continue. Therefore, she was willing to show the deepest secret in her heart to others in such a straightforward way.
And what prompted her to make up her mind to do all this was the 【Time】 trial she had never participated in but heard about in Mingyu's mouth!
This world seemed far different from what she imagined. There were countless Zhen Xins struggling to survive in different worlds, and this also meant that the An Mingyus in different worlds were not all living smoothly.
Since Mingyu could go to another world to save another herself, why didn't she take action, think of a way to help Mingyu, or be even greedier...
I want to save all the Mingyus, and myself.
To do this, one must first re-recognize this world.
And the first step to recognizing the world is to gain the trust of a "forerunner" who knows this world far better than herself, to confirm whether this "forerunner" has the same idea as herself. Only in this way could she make this liar who trusts no one believe in herself, so as to share the secrets that could not be known by outsiders.
It was this thought that made Zhen Xin make the decision at the moment, and also made the Clown realize what kind of magician she was, what kind of 【Deception】 collection item.
Zhen Xin's past was being performed in consciousness, but just after watching the beginning, Cheng Shi raised his head to look at the magician in front of him, his expression strange:
"If I wasn't confirming that I was receiving your memory, I would even think I was looking in a mirror.
What a coincidence, you are also an orphan."
"What a coincidence, but orphans and orphans are different."
?
You better not be raising yourself and belittling others with this difference.
Cheng Shi's eye twitched. He wanted to tease the other party twice, but when he saw Zhen Xin's subsequent memory, he opened his mouth and didn't make a sound for a long time, only sighing long after a long time:
"So, Zhen Yi was born at that time, right?
A madman who wanted to replace you to resist everything when you were afraid.
Sure enough, Zhen Yi is His collection item.
And you, Zhen Xin... you have a good sister; it was she who saved you.
Whether before the end of the world, or in the current game."
Zhen Xin didn't commit to it and remained silent. Cheng Shi smacked his lips and continued to look down, but the more he looked, the more silent he became. Until the surroundings fell into complete silence, his gaze toward Zhen Xin became more and more complex.
Her past, compared to his own, could not be counted as warm.
Zhen Xin's parents were long untraceable. In this memory about her, she had lived in an orphanage called "Sunshine Welfare Home" since she was a child.
This orphanage was much smaller than the one Cheng Shi was in. There were only a dozen children, and there were only two or three teachers.
But coincidentally, among these two or three people, there was a teacher Cheng Shi actually knew. Although the clean face at that time was somewhat different from her in the game, one could still see that this teacher was the puppet master Cheng Shi met in the Sighing Forest, An Jing!
And she was also An Mingyu's aunt.
An Mingyu was also an orphan. Her parents died in a car accident, but what was luckier than Zhen Xin was that she had an aunt who loved her very much, so she didn't need to live in an orphanage.
But needing to live and not living were two concepts. Since An Jing went to the orphanage to work every day, An Mingyu almost lived here.
It was this opportunity that made the two little girls who had no parents become each other's best friends.
This orphanage was much warmer than the one Cheng Shi once lived in. The dean was an old grandmother. She suffered the blow of family changes and the death of her parents when she was young, and her husband and children were taken away by a natural disaster when she was middle-aged. So when she could still move in her twilight years, she founded this orphanage, wanting to provide shelter for poor children like her.
The teachers in the orphanage were also good. Through Zhen Xin's memory, it could be seen that they truly liked children and wanted to provide a good growth environment for these children, so the orphanage was harmonious, and Zhen Xin and An Mingyu grew up slowly in this warm environment.
But things were not smooth sailing, but this matter was indeed a good thing for the orphanage at that time, which was that a pair of wealthy couples with a good reputation in a city came to Sunshine Welfare Home and discussed with the dean that they wanted to adopt a child.
Actually, this couple was the dean's friend. The dean had been paying attention to the development of the children. When she noticed little Zhen Xin's smart and steady personality, she felt that keeping little Zhen Xin in the orphanage was a bit of a grievance to the child, so she contacted these two former friends and asked if the two who had no children wanted to adopt a very good child.
The two agreed, came here, and were very satisfied after seeing Zhen Xin, and soon reached an adoption intention.
But adoption here was not like the orphanage Cheng Shi was in, just pay money. Dean Grandma insisted that this kind of thing could not just look at the adopting party, but also ask for little Zhen Xin's opinion. So she asked An Jing to ask Zhen Xin if she was willing.
An Jing naturally also wanted Zhen Xin to live a better life, so she hid it from Mingyu and found Zhen Xin that day, telling Zhen Xin about the old dean's suggestion.
Zhen Xin listened, looked at Aunt Jing in front of her, saw the orphanage's guilt and expectations, so she didn't refuse. She didn't want to disappoint everyone who cared about her.
Afterward, things went very smoothly. Zhen Xin left the orphanage amidst An Mingyu's reluctance to part. ===== CHAPTER 854 =====
