Song Suian's class ended at 4:50, almost an hour earlier than in high school, plus the travel time.
When they arrived at the Song family home, Song Suian had already finished his homework for the day and was about to play video games.
When Yan Chiyu and Wu Yue arrived, Old Master Song insisted that they stay for dinner. He immediately sent people to deliver fresh ingredients, and even summoned the head chef of his own hotel, a five-star establishment.
Of course, Yan Chiyu and the others were unaware of all this. The two were sitting on the sofa in Song Suian's room, their expressions slightly solemn.
"After merging with Xiao Suian, my memories of the future became increasingly blurry."
Song Suian said with distress, "This must be the price we have to pay. But I do remember Mi Jing, whom you asked about. Brother Bolun later joined the army, and there's something I don't know whether I should mention before that."
Wu Yue nodded slightly: "Go ahead."
"Back then, everyone was saying that Brother Bolun liked... liked Brother Guanghuai. For a while, their relationship was, well, it was really strained." Song Suian's face scrunched up like a bun. "At that time, my brother was caught in the middle and had a hard time because of this."
Yan Chiyu's eyes darkened. "Get to the point."
"Oh, later, Brother Bolun clarified that his relationship with Brother Guanghuai was just brotherly. After that, Brother Bolun joined the army. You don't know, do you? Sister Mi Jing was the most famous surgeon in Beijing at the time. Brother Bolun made a lot of military achievements back then. Once, he was seriously injured during a major anti-drug operation, so he was transferred to the largest hospital in Beijing. His attending physician was Sister Mi Jing."
Not long after, I heard that Brother Bolun and Sister Mi Jing were dating and had even reached the point of discussing marriage. However, their happiness was short-lived. Sister Mi Jing was stabbed several times and pushed off the hospital rooftop by one of the more extreme family members because she failed to save a patient's life.
The news reported this at the time. A friend of mine who was interning at a hospital told me that Sister Mi Jing died a horrific death; her body was mangled and covered in blood…
Berung was filled with grief and indignation. He had just returned from a mission that day, carrying a gun, and in a fit of rage, shot the family member. He was subsequently stripped of his military rank and imprisoned.
Wu Yue suddenly asked a question, her expression calm and composed, a stark contrast to Song Suian's sorrowful expression: "What do you think you should do if you were given a second chance at life?"
Song Suian did not realize, or rather, upon closer examination, who Wu Yue was referring to in this "rebirth." He assumed it was referring to himself, and thus boldly voiced his thoughts.
"Stop that family member? He's the real culprit. It wasn't Mi Jing's fault at all that the patient couldn't be saved..."
Song Suian couldn't help but sigh, "If only one of them hadn't joined the army, or if one of them hadn't become a doctor."
“Sui’an, we should blame the person who did wrong, the one who did bad things, instead of blaming the victim and trying to change the victim,” the girl said, staring at her intently.
"It's the same principle as girls being allowed to wear pretty short skirts and walk on the street instead of being criticized for dressing indecently and deserving to be molested."
Song Suian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I understand... Aunt."
Wu Yue stood up, her thoughts elsewhere, and did not notice how Song Suian addressed her.
"Uncle, how can we help Brother Bolun? After all, Brother Bolun watched me grow up." Song Suian became worried, wishing she could rush to Qian Bolun and tell him these things, but she didn't know if Qian Bolun would believe her.
Yan Chiyu suddenly reached out his hand, his long, pale hand landing on Song Suian's head, and said earnestly, "Having been given a second chance at life, she will make her own decisions."
Song Suian: ...
Looking at the young uncle speaking with such maturity, he felt strangely uncomfortable.
