Immediately, Su Wen grasped the situation — it’s connected to Sun Yunyun’s Golden Finger.
In the original book, the author bestowed upon Sun Yunyun a unique ability to foresee the future, a narrative device aligning her with the male lead. Fearing negative reviews, the author granted Sun Yunyun this extraordinary advantage, defying logic in the fictional realm.
The world of novels didn’t demand strict adherence to logic, and it’s okay if things are unrealistic. However, now they were in the real world, reality demanded a more rational explanation for Sun Yunyun’s “golden finger.”
The carrier for the medical examination was the heightened activity of the brain during sleep compared to an ordinary person. In reality, Su Wen still harboured doubts, as this explanation might not entirely make sense.
Certainly, no one would be aware of her Golden Finger.
Unless she chose to reveal it herself.
However, the fact that her brain exhibited activity during sleep ten times higher than that of an ordinary person was the most plausible explanation. Medical examinations revealed this heightened brain activity during sleep, an uncommon occurrence considered a miracle.
Su Wen grappled with the ethical dilemma of disclosing this secret to Zhou Hengyang.
Su Wen hesitated as she gazed into Hengyang’s profound and probing eyes. Should she reveal the truth? How could she begin to explain her origins — transmigration from the future or the possibility that their world was a mere novel?
Her mind raced through various scenarios — her tragic ending in the novel and the demise of the Su family. How could she tell him that he was expelled from the Su family by the original Su Wen, having no connection with Su Wen anymore, and eventually marrying Sun Yunyun?
The thought of Hengyang marrying Sun Yunyun in the novel, even though he never loved her romantically, still caused a deep ache in her heart, making even breathing difficult.
Zhou Hengyang, alarmed by Su Wen’s distress, turned pale and grasped her shoulders with remorse. Despite promising not to pressure her, Su Wen, being such an intelligent young lady, couldn’t possibly remain oblivious to his probing.
The weight of his insecurities fueled his need for control. The tensions between Su Wen, Sun Yunyun, and Su Wen’s unusual behaviour only heightened his unease.
“Don’t dwell on it. I won’t inquire further. I’ll believe whatever you choose to share,” Zhou Hengyang a.s.sured, attempting to alleviate the pressure. “No!” Su Wen drew a deep breath. “I want to tell you.”
She sensed that her internal conflict had already aroused Hengyang’s suspicions. Keeping silent felt unjust to him and would only widen the gap between them. The cracks in their relationship, though existing, had been ignored, and Su Wen recognized that continued avoidance would only lead to greater distance.
Tolerating and conceding was one thing, but Su Wen feared that the prolonged silence would render them strangers. Unable to let go of her feelings, she faced the challenge of unveiling her truth to Zhou Hengyang..
