"Wow! Brother, we're flying!"

"That's right! My brother is amazing!"

"Uh-huh."

Watching the scenery rushing past on both sides, Qin An asked Shu Lan in a low voice, "Why did you take me in as your younger brother, brother?"

"Because we are very destined to meet. And the older brother doesn't have any younger brothers or sisters, so he's very lonely."

"Fate? What is fate?" Qin An fell into deep thought.

What Shu Lan didn't say was that she felt an immediate connection to Qin An the moment she saw him. She wanted to get closer to him, and seeing him being chased by the burly man, she couldn't bear to see him hurt. Moreover, his figure reminded her of her younger brother.

Most importantly, Qin An was the first person Shu Lan saved in this world, the first person she actively sought to befriend, no longer someone imposed upon her by the world. This gave her a sense of belonging to this world.

Shu Lan carried Qin An and continued towards Penghu City.

On the way, Shu Lan asked Qin An about his background.

It turned out that Qin An's father disappeared when he was very young. His mother was sold into slavery by her family shortly after giving birth to him. She was beaten daily, often went hungry, and still had to find ways to feed Qin An. Qin An endured immense suffering.

Some time ago, Qin An's mother was beaten to death by his master. The master found him in the way, so he sold him to those burly men.

Those burly men beat and cursed him every day. They wouldn't give him food and forced him to work. He felt he couldn't go on living, so he escaped and was rescued by Shulan.

Shu Lan felt very sorry for Qin An after hearing about his past. She hugged Qin An and gently stroked his head, comforting him, "It's okay, it's all in the past. Your brother will be good to you from now on."

"Yes!" Qin An nodded heavily, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. His brother was so good; it was his brother who saved him. He would definitely repay his brother in the future.
