Could it be that this thing called fate can allow Su Yin, who has already lost her mind, to turn things around again?!

Su Ruyi shuddered – she had to artificially add some resistance to this process!

After listening to Su Ruyi's words, Xia Tianxiu pondered for a moment: "I'll ask. Also... how are Xia Tianyu and Xia Tianlu?"

"Are you afraid to let your mother ask around?" Su Ruyi retorted. "With your mother's status, it should be easy for her to find out this kind of information, right?"

“You’re right, I really don’t dare. I don’t dare gamble that my mother, whom I’ve only met a few days ago, might become disgusted with me because I’m too demanding. I also don’t dare gamble that my mother might break us up after she finds out about my feelings for Su Yin.”

Xia Tianxiu released Su Ruyi's hand and sat down in the chair. "Su Ruyi, we're not enemies, right?"

Before Su Ruyi's eyes, the face of Xia Tianxiu when she was on the verge of death in her previous life reappeared, and her eyes flickered with a moment of disorientation—

"Your kidney is gone..."

"In a little while, someone will come and rip out your heart and your liver..."

"People say that those with incomplete internal organs cannot be reincarnated..."

...

Are we not enemies in this life?

Does that mean the grudges from the previous life don't count?

What kind of pipe dream is she having in the summer?

Although Xia Tianxiu was right, she and Su Ruyi were indeed not enemies in this life, and there had been no conflict. However, this was because Xia Tianxiu had always been in an extremely passive situation and had no ability to become anyone's enemy!

It's like a frozen snake; how can it bite someone now?

But Su Ruyi knew Xia Tianxiu's true nature very well—this venomous snake had now found her Mr. Dongguo—the Qi family! Once she warmed up, she would use her venomous fangs to start hurting people!

Looking at Xia Tianxiu's seemingly sincere eyes, Su Ruyi nodded: "But we're not friends either."

"Ruyi, you may not know, but your third brother Su Yin and I have already... pledged our lives to each other." Xia Tianxiu said, lowering her head.

“But Su Yin has already gone mad.” Su Ruyi blurted out—she had personally administered the acupuncture, and she was absolutely certain that Su Yin would never recover.

"What did you say?!" Xia Tianxiu's lips trembled. "You're lying to me, aren't you? He... he just had a slight fever. Didn't those high-ranking officials take him to the hospital when they took him away?"

“I went, but his fever was so high that it damaged his brain.” Su Ruyi shrugged.

"Why didn't you save him? Aren't you a doctor?" Xia Tianxiu's face changed instantly. "You vicious sister! How could you just stand by and watch him die!"

“When Su Yin was burned into a mentally impaired state, I was still being held captive by them.” Su Ruyi shook her head. “I was only released after several days.”

Xia Tianxiu fell silent.

Su Ruyi was surprised to find that she was crying, and tears were falling onto her pants.

After a long while, Xia Tianxiu raised his head and asked, "Ruyi, in your opinion, where would the people from the educated youth office send Brother Su Yin in this situation?"

"I don't know," Su Ruyi said truthfully.

"Xia Tianyu and Xia Tianlu, if I remember correctly, they were taken away with you, right? Where did they go?" Xia Tianxiu asked again. "I've already asked around in Dingjiatun, and they said they haven't been back since they were arrested!"

Actually, Xia Yu had gone back once, when she was forcing Ding Youliang to get a certificate to return to the city.

But it rained heavily for several days, and everyone stayed at home, so no one saw her.

To avoid any further complications, Ding Youliang did not tell anyone about this.

After all, the quota for returning to the city is limited. Xia Tianyu's quota was assigned to her by the higher-ups, but if other people find out, it will definitely cause trouble.

Su Ruyi was certain that the person Xia Tianxiu had asked to inquire about information in Dingjiatun was not an educated youth.

Because when Xia Tianyu went back to Dingjiatun to get her letter of introduction to return to the city, she stayed overnight at the educated youth compound.

When asked about their private lives by people who weren't sent-down youth, the female sent-down youth of Dingjiatun had a very consistent reaction: they wouldn't say anything, and if asked to say something, they would just talk nonsense.

As Su Ruyi made this guess, Xia Tianxiu stared intently into her eyes and pressed her for an answer: "Tell me! In exchange, I'll tell you a big secret, okay?"

Su Ruyi's heart stirred.

What big secret will Xia Tianxiu, who has been reborn, tell her?

Su Ruyi sighed: "Xia Tianlu is dead—she was injured and died in the hospital."

Xia Tianxiu clenched her fists, a sinister expression flashing across her face, as if she were recalling all the unpleasant things the Xia family had done to her. After her expression shifted between light and dark for a moment, she finally squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "She deserved it!"

Su Ruyi didn't respond.

"What about Xia Tianyu?" Xia Tianxiu asked again.

Su Ruyi's piecemeal, toothpaste-like reply was driving her a little crazy.

After all, she ran away secretly, and it wouldn't be good to linger too long.

"What about your secret?" Su Ruyi asked in return.

"What?" Xia Tianxiu didn't react.

"I'll answer a question for you, and you'll tell me a secret, right? Didn't you just say that? What's your big secret?" Su Ruyi said, taking a sip of water slowly.

She had already realized that Xia Tianxiu couldn't stay long, so she deliberately spoke slowly.

"Tell me where Xia Tianyu went first!" Xia Tianxiu wanted to negotiate.

"I'm going out, so I won't keep you sitting here any longer," Su Ruyi said, getting up.

"No! Ruyi, don't be angry!" Xia Tianxiu quickly pulled Su Ruyi back.

Her gaze swept over Su Ruyi's face again.

Suddenly, she realized—this sixth sister in this life is different.

Although many things are different in this life, and the place where she met Su Yin has changed from the Haicheng black market to Dingjiatun, thousands of miles away, Su Ruyi's changes are still too great!

This timid and foolish sixth sister, in this life, not only was she not sold into the deep mountains, but she also thrived in the rural area.

He even learned medicine!

Moreover, it's traditional Chinese medicine!

Traditional Chinese Medicine!!!

Xia Tianxiu's mind went blank, as if a thunderbolt had struck—didn't Su Ruyi shamelessly go to adult college after being rescued in her previous life?!

The major I studied was Traditional Chinese Medicine, wasn't it?!

When Xia Tianxiu looked at Su Ruyi again, her eyes were suddenly filled with fear.

she……

It wouldn't be...

Just like myself...

You have memories of two lifetimes, right?

—Really?

However, Su Ruyi is clearly different from the one in her previous life!

It's as if I've awakened!
