"Big Brother!" Su Yan stepped through the door and saw Su Yu sitting up in bed to receive a doctor's examination. She couldn't help but call out to him.
Jiang Jingxing followed closely behind.
He and Su Yu had been brothers and comrades for many years. He had finally waited for Su Yu's return and recovery. How could he remain calm?
He immediately took Su Yan's hand and walked over.
The doctors who had been surrounding Su Yu wisely made way for them.
Su Yu was still a little dazed when he heard the voice, until he looked up and saw the two people getting closer and closer. His gaze first fell on Su Yan, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Ah...A Yan?"
His voice was uncertain. Wasn't her sister back in their hometown? How did she end up here?
Moreover, the girl in front of him was so different from the sallow and thin sister he remembered from five years ago that he was afraid he had mistaken her for someone else.
Su Yan rushed over and grabbed his hand, tears streaming down her face, "Brother, you're awake! I missed you so much. I haven't seen you in so long, I thought you were dead, sob sob..."
She pressed her face against Su Yu's palm, looking up at him with her tear-streaked face, not wanting to blink.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was deeply moved by the bond between the siblings.
Su Yu felt extremely distressed and hurriedly wiped away his sister's tears, coaxing her in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Ayan, it's my fault. I'll never leave without saying goodbye again. Don't cry, I know I was wrong."
Su Yu is a doting brother to his sister; he has spoiled her rotten since she was a child.
He wasn't unaware that Su Yan wasn't doing well in the Su family, but he was in the army and couldn't protect his sister and mother. All he could do was send more money back home each month, hoping that the Su family would treat them better.
Su Yan's lips trembled as she cried, and her eyes were extremely red and swollen.
She gripped Su Yu's hand tightly, as if afraid he would disappear from her sight at any moment, her voice filled with utter grievance, "Brother, will you really never leave again?"
"No!" Su Yu said without hesitation, "I will never disappear again in this lifetime. Ah Yan, don't cry. If you keep crying, I'm really going to slap myself."
He was prepared to die before he went on his mission. His only worry was his mother and sister, but he left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to write a letter.
To his surprise, his departure had dealt such a heavy blow to his sister, and he was overwhelmed with guilt.
Hearing his confident assurance, Su Yan calmed down considerably. She smiled and happily replied, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, everything went black before her eyes, and she fainted.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Su Yu's strength had not yet recovered, and his reactions were much slower than usual.
Just as Su Yan fell to the ground, a hand caught her head before it hit the ground, steadily supporting her.
Jiang Jingxing, with a stern face, picked her up and placed her on the bed next to him. He said urgently to the doctor, "Hurry up and examine her!"
...
Su Yan felt her soul was in great pain, as if an invisible hand was tearing something apart, causing her unbearable agony.
She struggled on and on until she was exhausted, drenched in sweat, fighting to the very last moment.
"goodbye."
The faint, distant voice carried a deep sense of reluctance.
—Su Yan felt a sudden sense of ease and security, a feeling she had never experienced since coming into this world.
It was as if something had disappeared from her body.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw two handsome faces and their eyes filled with worry and tension.
She was dazed for a couple of seconds, then her thoughts gradually returned, her voice hoarse, "Big brother? Jingxing?"
"Ayan, you're finally awake! You scared your brother to death!" Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a heavy heart, "It's all my fault. I'll never leave you again. Please forgive me."
Su Yan looked around and realized she was still in the basement.
She blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"The doctor said that your emotions fluctuated greatly, and coupled with the lack of rest in the past few days, your body could not withstand the stimulation and you fainted."
It was Jiang Jingxing who spoke. He poured her a glass of water, helped her up, and fed it to her.
Su Yan subconsciously went along with his strength.
Su Yu watched the two of them being so close, feeling a bit conflicted. Afraid of upsetting his sister again, he ultimately said nothing.
After drinking the water, Su Yan felt much better and felt refreshed, losing her previous sense of oppression.
She knew that the person who cried uncontrollably the moment she saw Su Yu was the original Su Yan; her soul had emerged.
Su Yu was the original owner's only regret.
So when she saw that her brother was still alive, her regret disappeared. But she was already dead and could not stay in this body any longer, so this time she disappeared completely.
She felt soul pain because the original owner's soul was being torn apart, and she experienced the same pain during that tearing.
"Brother, how did the doctor say about your condition? Why did you get out of bed before you've fully recovered?"
Although she didn't have the same intense sibling affection for Su Yu as the original owner, she knew that Su Yu genuinely cherished her as his younger sister, so she would do her best to be good to him.
Seeing that his sister's emotions had indeed stabilized, Su Yu felt a little relieved. He patted her head and said gently, "It's alright. I'm healthy and recover quickly. The doctor said I'll be able to move around freely in a few days."
These past few years of arduous missions, with him constantly in dire straits, have caused Su Yu to lose a lot of weight. Coupled with a serious illness, his 1.85-meter height now makes him look like he weighs only about 110 pounds, so thin that his bones are clearly visible.
Su Yan said with a touch of heartache, "I'll prescribe some medicinal cuisine so that my brother can recover his health as quickly as possible."
Su Yu felt incredibly warm inside and teased, "I've heard about it all. You were involved in making the antidote for my poisoning, and Elder Jue even wanted to take you on as his last disciple. My little sister is amazing now, and I'm happy and proud, but I also feel guilty. If I hadn't left, you and Mother wouldn't have had to suffer so much. I'll do my best to make it up to you in the future."
He treated Su Yan just like a child.
But in his heart, his younger sister will always be that little girl who never grows up, someone who needs to be pampered and coaxed.
Su Yan shook her head and pouted, saying, "I don't like hearing these things. My brother's return is the best thing ever. I'm already very happy."
She looked so charming and adorable, completely losing her usual composure, which made Jiang Jingxing, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, extremely envious.
If they weren't siblings, he would definitely be jealous.
"By the way, did you call your mother?"
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs came from outside.
The three turned around and saw who it was, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
