"Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you upset that I took over your sister's body?" Su Yan still couldn't believe it.

She thought Su Yu would hate her.

Su Yu said with a complicated expression, "Coming here and occupying my sister's body was not your original intention. If you could, you would probably like to go back to your original world, right?"

Su Yan smiled bitterly, "I really wanted to when I first came here, but I don't want to anymore. Here, I am no longer alone. Among all the lights in the world, there is finally one that is lit for me. I know I am greedy, but I can't give it up anymore."

Because she cared so much, she was so afraid that Su Yu would treat her as an enemy or an outsider after he found out the truth.

Su Yu sighed, feeling sorry for Su Yan. Even though she made a lot of money in her world, she was always alone.

He couldn't help but reach out and pat her shoulder. "Alright, I won't make you give up. We'll always be family. Remember not to tell anyone else about this except me."

Su Yan was certain he was telling the truth, and her clenched teeth trembled uncontrollably. "Thank you... Big Brother!" Thank you for being willing to accept me.

As Su Yu spoke to her, he was also mentally preparing himself. He stepped forward, pulled her to sit down, and said, "May I ask how... Ayan died?"

She then recounted how the Su family had wanted to give Su Zhi her university spot instead, and how she had knelt down at the Su family's house in protest to be able to attend school.

“She fainted at that time, and after she woke up, I took over her body. Actually, when I first arrived, I could feel that she was still living in this body. Until I received my admission notice, dealt with the Su family, and then I heard about you. I cried until I fainted when I first saw you. It was the emotions that Ayan left in the body. After I woke up, she completely left this body.”

Su Yu's tears had already fallen, and he was filled with self-reproach.

It turns out that Ah Yan had always been thinking about her brother, but he had been a terrible person. If he hadn't gone on that mission, perhaps her sister wouldn't have died.

"sorry."

He covered his face with his hands and apologized to his deceased sister in a pained tone.

Su Yan continued, "What I did was something she didn't have the courage to do. Maybe she thought I was more suitable to take care of Mother and my younger brother. Now that you're back, she left with peace of mind. She definitely hopes you won't be sad about her departure. Maybe she's in some other world now, living a happy life."

Perhaps, like her, her soul left her body, but instead of dying, it went to another, better world.

Su Yu remained silent for a long time.

He turned his head, his bloodshot eyes meeting Su Yan's worried gaze, and said, "Thank you. Without you, Mother, Xiao Lei, and Grandma and Grandpa would definitely be having a very hard time."

Su Yan felt a little wronged. "You're making things difficult for me by saying these things. Now that I've taken Ayan's place, I definitely have to treat her well. She's the person I care about most in my life now."

“It’s not that we’re being distant.” Su Yu reached out and brushed the strands of hair stuck to her face, and said earnestly, “I couldn’t take care of my parents before I came back from my mission. If it weren’t for you supporting the family, I’m afraid I would never forgive myself in this lifetime.”

To be honest, Su Yan also came here by accident. If she were selfish, she wouldn't care about her family at all, because for her, Li Juan and the others were not her responsibility.

"Alright, let's just let this go, okay?" Su Yan said cautiously.

Su Yu thought for a moment, then leaned down and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said slowly, "Don't be afraid, you will always be my sister. You don't need to be careful in front of your big brother, do whatever you want."

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

"Thank you, brother."

...

An hour later.

Su Yu took leave and went home with Su Yan.

In the car, Su Yan fastened her seatbelt and said with some concern, "Brother, things are so strict now. It wouldn't be good for you to take leave unless it's something really important?"

"It's alright. The new regimental commander hasn't been assigned yet. I'm the only one in charge of the 61st Regiment right now. If I take a leave of absence occasionally to slack off, the leaders won't say anything."

Su Yu is now doing the work of two people. He sits in the office every day, and unless there is a meeting, he basically works overtime until 11 or 12 o'clock at night every day.

He couldn't even spend more time with Nianyu and Jinghe.

"Is Jiang Jingxing no longer in the 61st Regiment after returning to the team?" Su Yan asked curiously.

Su Yu laughed, "Your man got promoted, and he'll most likely take over Commander Fang's position, then he'll be my boss."

Su Yan blushed and said irritably, "He and I haven't made up yet, so please watch your form of address, Comrade Su!"

After exchanging a few words, the awkwardness between them finally disappeared.

Su Yu still prefers the way Su Yan talks to him in a carefree and easygoing way.

"I've seen you two getting along really well lately, aren't you planning to make up?"

Su Yan told him her thoughts, "Jiang Jingxing also agreed. Whether we are destined to be together, I will know after I graduate."

Su Yan is only a freshman now, and Jiang Jingxing was originally supposed to wait for her for three and a half years.

But she chose to skip a grade. If she succeeds, she will only have a little over a year left before graduation, so the wait won't be long.

Su Yu suddenly became a little unhappy, "Aren't you going to continue your studies for a master's degree? If you're going to continue your studies for a master's degree, then you're not considered to have graduated. Let him wait until you've completely finished your studies."

Su Yan realized what was happening and was both amused and exasperated. "Brother! Are you two best friends or enemies?"

"If he likes someone else, then as his good brother, I definitely hope he can win the heart of his beloved soon."

"But he likes you. You're my sister. What brother would want to see his sister being taken advantage of by a pig so early?" Su Yu said very seriously.

"childish."

Su Yan complained, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face; she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

It seems that Su Yu has truly accepted her, otherwise he wouldn't have said those things.

Su Yu noticed her emotional change out of the corner of his eye and felt very sorry for her.

He realized that Su Yan was a very insecure person at heart, and that she cared a lot about her family's opinions and feelings towards her.

Because deep down she feels like a thief and is afraid of losing the family she has now, she cares a lot.

Su Yu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, deciding to treat her better in the future, at least to make her feel more secure.

The two went to the hospital together first, intending to take Zhong Jing home for dinner.

I visited Jiang Jingxing before leaving.

The moment Su Yan entered the room, Jiang Jingxing immediately noticed her red eyes, clearly indicating that she had been crying.

His eyes darkened, and he asked, "Did someone bully you?"
