Chapter 873
Chapter 873: Chapter 29 Told you I loved you centuries ago_2 Chapter 873: Chapter 29 Told you I loved you centuries ago_2 I had always thought you would remain so cheerful and sunny.
But after entering junior high school, everything changed.
No one made fun of my teeth anymore, since they had straightened out after shedding the baby teeth, and weren’t so prominent.
However, your name became the butt of everyone’s joke; everyone mocked your name with malicious words.
Since then, I rarely saw your cheerfulness and smile.
You gradually became silent and reclusive, hardly speaking and seldom lifting your head.
You told me that you hated your name, that you deeply resented your parents for giving you such an ugly name.
But I never thought that way.
I never felt there was anything difficult to pronounce about your name; to me, it was the name of a hero, a name that made me proud and filled me with admiration for the classmate sitting beside me.
No matter how many times you ask, I always think it’s as brave a name as Ultraman Tiga.
But before I could do anything…
suddenly, you fell ill and had to sleep in a Hibernation Pod, leaving this era behind.
I really didn’t want to let you go.
The adults always said that once you entered that Hibernation Pod, it was highly likely I would never see you again in this lifetime…

I regret so much that I did not talk to you more before, and because of my shyness, I never managed to sincerely thank you.
In the end, other than wishing you good health, I didn’t know what else to say to bless you.
If you truly detest your name, I don’t think it’s your fault, and you didn’t do anything wrong.
So I wish that after you wake up from hibernation…
there would no longer be such things as sanitary pads in this world, then you would never have to be troubled by your name again.
Goodbye, Wei Shengjin.
Will we ever see each other again?
If you can’t remember my name or what I look like after you’ve lost your memory, then let’s switch roles next time – let me protect you, okay?
—Your classmate, Liu Shiyu
…
…
Angelica straightened up after finishing reading, and looked at Lin Xian and CC:
“What are sanitary pads?
Why make fun of him?”
“…” “…”
Lin Xian and CC hesitated to speak.

No matter how you look at it, this was not a good time to explain that question.
The current Earth certainly did not have the industrial capability to produce sanitary pads, probably using something like “Menstrual Cloth” as an ancient method for soaking up blood.
And on Mars, obviously, there would have been better alternatives, or other perfect methods to deal with such physiological issues, so naturally, the term sanitary pad would have been obsolete on Mars as well.
Even if Angelica had indeed left many notebooks and videotapes behind, who would specifically introduce sanitary pads in notebooks and videotapes?
Therefore.
Neither Uncle Wei Shengjin nor Angelica knew what sanitary pads were, nor could they understand why Wei Shengjin’s name was so notorious.
Seeing that Angelica was determined to get to the bottom of it, Lin Xian quickly changed the subject:
“Looking at it this way…
This letter must have been written by the girl who was Wei Shengjin’s classmate before he went into hibernation.
Now…
more than two hundred years have passed, she must be long gone by now.”
CC nodded:
“Actually, whether it’s the problem of unsightly buck teeth or the problem with Teacher Wei’s name, they are all not big issues in society.
But solely in the school setting, where you’re dealing with children who are immature, don’t know respect, and like to give each other nicknames…
perhaps this constitutes verbal violence.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“There’s nothing we can do, children are like this when they’re young, and it’s an unavoidable part of everyone’s school life.
But this letter…
doesn’t seem to contain anything meaningful, just like Angelica said.
The content of the letter cannot prove anything, and it can’t prove that Wei Shengjin is Wei Shengjin.”
“Not only that.”
Angelica added:
“Didn’t the two of you feel nothing special after reading this letter, just like drinking plain boiled water?
I feel the same.
Looking at the trivial matters of children from the perspective of an adult, what can really move us?
It only feels like making a big fuss over nothing.”
“I also restored my memory by looking at notebooks and videos, but like I said in the bedroom earlier, those memories did not resonate with any profound emotions.
It was just about convincing myself to accept them, forcing myself to think they are real, forcing emotional involvement, and integrating myself into those memories.”
“However, to be fair, the long-term self-suggestion is indeed very useful, and it can really make emotions blend in.
Like you, Lin Xian…
even though I never knew you or Ji Lin, and only saw your photos and information in videos.”
“But over the years, I kept reviewing the records about you two, presenting them in my mind over and over, and eventually, I did start to feel something.
It’s like I said, avenging you two…
if there’s really such an opportunity, I would not hesitate and deal with the killer decisively.”
“It’s just…
accepting it takes time.”
She looked at Wei Shengjin’s kneeling figure from behind and did not continue to speak.
CC also followed her gaze and whispered to Lin Xian:
“I once thought, ‘Memory is different from a film clip because memory comes with emotions and feelings.’ Since Uncle Wei Shengjin has no memory of his youth, naturally…
he would not feel any impact from this little girl’s handwritten letter.”
“I suppose…
he must be very disappointed, right?
Traveling all the way from Mars to Earth only to open a safe and find such an unremarkable piece of paper…
Anyone would feel a bit letdown.”
