After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Xiao He continued watching "Yu Ye" on his tablet.
The female protagonist of "Yu Ye" is named Yin Lan, and she and her younger brother Yin Qi are siblings. When they were medicine people, they were the youngest among all the medicine people. After escaping the control of the sorcerer, they lived with the other medicine people and hid their whereabouts. When they grew up, they said goodbye to the medicine people they knew and went out to explore the outside world, spending many years together.
However, everything eventually comes to an end.
Yin Qi loved to travel, establishing his own power and territory in different places, enjoying the pleasures that power and money brought. Sometimes, he would even maliciously instigate wars, then stand at crucial historical junctures, gloating as he watched certain nations perish because of his presence, and then witness new civilizations rise from the ruins…
From this perspective, it's clear that Yin Qi is somewhat pathological. He enjoys seeking thrills, retains some childlike traits, and acts solely on whims, easily bored, and only has a short attention span.
In contrast to Yin Qi, the female protagonist Yin Lan loves a stable and peaceful life. Rather than embarking on a grand adventure somewhere, she prefers to stay quietly in a corner, living a simple and ordinary life with three meals a day and four seasons.
Therefore, judging from their personalities, the two were destined to part ways at some point.
Sure enough, after one of her adventures, Yin Lan suggested ending the trip.
She said she wanted to go back to where she came from, settle down quietly, and not go anywhere else.
In the scene, Yin Qi, who appears to be middle-aged, hangs his head and remains silent. Most of his face is hidden in shadow, with only one eye visible, conveying the reluctance and pain of being about to be abandoned.
So, are you going to abandon me too?
Yin Lan covered her forehead, explaining with a headache, "I'm just tired and want to rest."
"Then I'll go back with you. Once you've rested, we can continue our journey, okay?"
"I don't want to leave." Yin Lan rarely showed a hint of annoyance.
I'm tired of my current life, tired of this long life.
"If I could, I'd actually like to be alone in a corner until my death comes—"
"No!" Yin Qi interrupted her, gripping her hand tightly. The other half of his face finally emerged from the shadows, his eyes filled with obsession and madness. "You can't leave me alone, not even in death! Didn't you promise to stay with me forever and ever?"
“We’re not children anymore, we should have our own lives now, A-Qi.” Yin Lan helplessly comforted her younger brother, who seemed to never grow up. “I’m right there. If you want to see me, you can come back anytime. I’ll always wait for you to come home.”
Yin Qi stared at Yin Lan without saying a word for a long time.
Finally, he took a step back, completely concealing his face in the shadows, and asked in a hoarse whisper, "Do I mean... forever?"
"forever."
Yin Lan answered firmly, "I will always wait for you to come back, and you will always be my only brother, Yin Lan."
Yin Qi then raised her head, her face beaming with an affectionate and warm smile: "Okay, I'll remember that, sister."
"Since it's said to be forever..."
"Then it must be forever."
"Even death cannot stop us..."
The episode ends with a scene of a little girl pulling a little boy as they run away, with flames raging behind them and other drug users fleeing in panic.
After that, Yin Qi and Yin Lan went their separate ways and started their own new lives.
Yin Lan didn't know where Yin Qi had gone, but she would receive a housewarming gift from him every time she moved. Later, with the advancement of technology and the ease of sending messages, after everyone got a mobile phone, Yin Lan would receive blessing text messages from Yin Qi using different phone numbers on holidays.
So it can be said that hundreds of years ago, they were the closest relatives. But hundreds of years later, Yin Qi knows Yin Lan inside and out, while Yin Lan knows nothing about Yin Qi and has no idea where he went or what he is doing.
So naturally, she didn't know that the story of "Yu Ye" was originally a game that Yin Qi gave to her sister.
Driven by his sister's wish for "forever," he also began to have a perverse desire for immortality, even to the point of frantically making money. He then devoted himself to scientific research, following in the footsteps of those perverted alchemists of yesteryear, conducting research on himself and even on his fellow drug users.
With the arrival of a new era, more and more technological advancements have been unlocked, and finally, a researcher discovered the secret to the immortality of those who could use medicine—
