That night, I was inexplicably left at Yan Yin's house.
The reason I say it's inexplicable is because I was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
I was forced to take a shower and change my clothes, and then we ate together. After dinner, I chatted with them like a family, and before I knew it, it was late at night.
So I successfully took over Yan Yin's room.
And this domination may last for some time.
After learning that I was an orphan and a homeless beggar, the kind-hearted couple made a tacit decision to let me stay in their home temporarily, ostensibly to provide an extra pair of chopsticks.
Then I realized it was just buying a couple more outfits.
On second thought, at most it was because of my arrival that Yan Yin had to reluctantly move into a room with her parents.
In short, this is an interesting yet heartbreaking family.
And I also learned the couple's names.
Yan Yin's father's name is Yan Hai. He is a construction worker who usually works on construction sites carrying bricks. He is a real bricklayer.
Yan Yin's mother's name is Li Qingmei, and she is a primary school teacher.
Both of them are ordinary people with kind hearts and no ulterior motives, which is probably why they were able to be together and have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter as Yan Yin.
Moreover, after some conversation, I also confirmed one thing.
No one has noticed Yan Hai's physical condition yet.
According to Yan Yin from the previous life, Yan Hai will suffer from brain cancer in this year, and will die after treatment is unsuccessful.
From that day on, the family was plunged into utter despair.
Lying in bed.
I've been thinking about this matter over and over again.
I decided to find a reason to have them take Yan Hai for a check-up first. Cancer is divided into early, middle and late stages, and there is also a latency period. If the cause can be detected in advance during the latency period, the outcome may be different.
But what reason could be given?
I looked out the window, feeling a bit upset.
If I can't change Yan Yin's life trajectory even after being given a second chance, I might live with guilt for the rest of my life.
Because I had long considered Yan Yin a friend.
A very, very good friend.
In my previous life, I failed to save Yan Yin. In this life, I will do everything in my power.
As I thought about it, I gradually felt sleepy.
The old town is quiet at night, with the occasional bark of a dog or chirping of an insect, but it is precisely these sounds that make everything feel peaceful.
This is a feeling I haven't had in a long time.
However, just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt the door to my room open. I instinctively turned my head to look and saw a small figure tiptoeing in.
Then, I felt the figure climb onto the bed and crawl into the blankets behind me.
The figure was none other than Yan Yin.
This girl...
What do you want to do?
Is he sleepwalking?
I was a little afraid to move. Although my back was to Yan Yin, I could still feel that, probably because the bed itself wasn't very big, Yan Yin was pressed tightly against me. If I reacted even slightly, she might wake up if she was sleepwalking.
If it's not sleepwalking, then it's even more troublesome!
Fortunately, I soon heard Yan Yin's breathing; she seemed to have fallen asleep.
I then quietly shifted my body and got out of bed.
This was the first time I had ever seen Yan Yin sleeping, even though this was only what she looked like at fourteen years old.
She looked like she was sleeping soundly, with a slight smile on her lips, probably dreaming about something.
I couldn't bring myself to bother her.
There's no reason to bother her.
After all, I was the one who occupied her room.
But sometimes, it's not a matter of wanting or not wanting.
A sudden clap of thunder rang out.
Yan Yin, who had been asleep, let out a scream as if startled. In the light of the lightning, our eyes met.
She looked at me without saying a word, but her face suddenly turned red.
I looked at her, feeling conflicted as well.
