"Illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon." Moreover, Jiang Yan's body was already on its last legs, and she was struggling to survive. So, in less than half a month, she was lying in bed and didn't even have the strength to sit up.
It goes without saying how much pain and sorrow Shangguan Zeyu and Huang Ying felt. Even Zhang Qin, Uncle Cui, and the maids and servants who had been busy taking care of everything all looked sad and helpless.
Huang Ying sat down by Jiang Yan's bedside again, sobbing uncontrollably, "Sister, this isn't real, it's not real! Sister, we promised each other, didn't we? We sisters would share joys and sorrows together. Sister, I don't want you to be like this, please don't!"
Jiang Yan had cried so much she didn't know how to cry anymore. Of course, she cried quietly in the dead of night. She didn't want them to see her sadness, longing, and reluctance, otherwise their hearts would ache even more.
"Oriole, don't cry. What's the big deal? Everyone has to go through birth, aging, sickness and death. I'm just going first. Don't be so sad."
"No, no, sister! No, I don't want to!!"
Jiang Yan longed to embrace her and cry her heart out, but how could she possibly accept it?
Although they were not blood relatives, their sisterly bond transcended that of blood ties. She believed she would never find another sister like Huang Ying, who treated her with such sincerity, always kept her in her heart, put her first in everything, and remained loyal to her.
But fate is so unpredictable, so cruel!
"Alright, stop crying, listen to me. I have something to tell you." Jiang Yan struggled to reach out her right hand to touch Huang Ying's left hand, which was placed beside her, but unfortunately, she no longer had the strength to reach out her hand.
Huang Ying understood her meaning, and quickly took her right hand, which had become thin and bony in just a few days, in her hands. She suppressed the grief that was about to burst into tears again and forced a smile: "Sister, I'm here. What do you want to say? I'm listening, I'm listening carefully."
Jiang Yan smiled with relief, looking at her with eyes that had lost all their luster, and slowly said, "Do you remember that shop in Taizi Town? And the house we bought? I've left them all to you. The deed is in the bottom compartment of the dressing box I asked you to keep. From the beginning, I only put your name on it."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying burst into tears, her voice trembling as she asked, "Sister, why is this happening? Didn't we agree to live together?"
Jiang Yan swallowed hard and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I'm not from this era? Although I really want to live with you forever and take you back to my world, I'm really not sure when or where I will suddenly disappear. I don't want you to live a life without freedom and happiness in the future. You have to live well and live for yourself."
Huang Ying was crying so hard she couldn't stop herself and couldn't say a word.
Shangguan Zeyu came to see her a little later. She had her eyes tightly closed, and Shangguan Zeyu thought she was asleep. Gazing at her thin and pale face, he finally couldn't help but cry.
"Ruyi, please don't leave me? Please don't leave me, okay? I'll treat you very well from now on, and I won't let anyone bully you anymore. Ruyi, is it because I treated you badly at first, took advantage of you, and hurt you that you want to leave me? Ruyi, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me, okay? Please don't leave me, okay? I beg you!"
Tears slowly streamed from Jiang Yan's tightly closed eyes.
She slightly opened her eyes, her vision blurred by tears, and gazed intently at him, saying, "Aze, you've come?"
Shangguan Zeyu quickly turned around, wiped away her tears with both hands, and then turned back to her with a smile: "Ruyi, I'm here. I've come to see you."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, hummed in agreement, and said, "Aze, help me sit up, I have something to tell you."
Shangguan Zeyu paused for a moment, then rushed over and carefully helped her sit up, leaning against him.
"Ruyi, what do you want to say? Tell me, I'm listening, I'm listening carefully."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly again: "Aze, don't you think I'm different from the girls you've met before?"
Shangguan Zeyu paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "No matter what Ruyi is like, I like her and love her." The painful smile was more heartbreaking than tears.
Jiang Yan sighed softly and smiled, "Does Aze believe in time travel?"
Shangguan Zeyu was slightly taken aback again, then smiled and said, "If Ruyi believes it, then I believe it too."
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, "Aze, I didn't want to hide it from you, but I really didn't have the courage to tell you. Before, I was afraid you would be angry and kill me, so I didn't dare to tell you. Later, I was afraid you would be angry and leave me, so I didn't dare to tell you either. Aze, I'm actually not from this era! I'm not Liu Ruyi, and my name isn't Liu Ruyi."
Shangguan Zeyu was clearly taken aback, but quickly recovered and said solemnly, "I don't care who you are, whether you are Ruyi or anyone else. I love you as a person, not your name."
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, then slowly and laboriously raised her eyelids to look at Shangguan Zeyu's smooth chin, and said weakly, "Zeyu, my name is Jiang Yan, Jiang as in ginger, Yan as in language, remember?"
"Jiang Yan? Jiang Yan! I remember, I remember, I remember A-Yan. I remember, I will never forget." Shangguan Zeyu lowered his eyes and looked at her with great worry.
Jiang Yan slowly withdrew her sorrowful gaze and said, "Aze, I didn't originally plan to tell you. I hoped you would remember Liu Ruyi instead of me. But I'm also selfish; I don't want you to forget me."
"Ayan, no, I won't forget you, I will never forget you." Shangguan Zeyu tried to laugh, but instead burst into tears.
"Aze didn't lie to me? He's not angry that I kept it from you?"
"No, no, Ayan, how could I blame you? I've said it before, no matter who you are or what your name is, I love you. I'll always love you for who you are!"
Jiang Yan smiled with relief: "Aze, with your words, I may understand why I came into this world. I think I came into this world just to meet you, to fall in love with you, and to be loved by you. Aze, this trip has not been in vain."
Shangguan Zeyu cried even louder. He desperately didn't want to cry, but he simply couldn't control his emotions any longer.
His heart ached terribly, as if it were being violently squeezed.
Jiang Yan: "Aze, I need your help with something."
"You mean, Ayan? I'll do anything for you."
“Aze, I’m so sorry to Chen Run. Please don’t blame Chen Run. All these problems, all the blame, is mine!” “Chen Run loves Liu Ruyi, but I deceived him by using Liu Ruyi’s appearance. I didn’t want to do this, but I still deceived him. Aze, I want you to help me say sorry on his behalf. I didn’t mean to take over Liu Ruyi’s body, but I did take over Liu Ruyi’s body, and I’m really sorry to him.”
"Ruyi, I promise you, I promise you."
Jiang Yan smiled wryly: "Aze, actually, there's something else I need your help with."
"Ayan, don't talk about whether I'll help or not. This is what I should do. Just tell me, say it."
Jiang Yan: "Aze, I've always felt that since I occupied Liu Ruyi's body, I should be responsible for what happened to her. I don't know why Liu Ruyi died, or why I occupied her body, but I secretly told Liu Ruyi, and I swore to Huang Ying, that I would seek justice for Liu Ruyi. It's just a pity that I ultimately lack the ability, and after so long, I still haven't been able to resolve this matter. Aze, you must help me seek justice for Liu Ruyi's death. This is what I promised Huang Ying, and it's what I should do!!"
"Yes, Ayan, I will. I will definitely find out the reason for Liu Ruyi's death. Don't worry, don't worry."
Jiang Yan was very weak, but she endured her discomfort and talked for so long. After she finished speaking, she was so tired that she fainted.
Shangguan Zeyu was so frightened by her appearance that he lost his mind, thinking that she had left him like this. With tears of grief streaming down his face, he slowly reached his right hand under her nose. When he realized that she was still breathing, he burst into laughter. But as he laughed, he hugged her tightly and cried bitterly.
