Xia Lan held the letter, tears streaming down her face.
Back home, Xia Lan leaned listlessly against Qin Yu's chest, absorbing his warmth.
Are you still feeling very uncomfortable?
Qin Yu held Xia Lan in his arms. Xia Lan had been feeling down lately because of the old lady.
Qin Yu felt both distressed and worried.
"I'm fine."
Xia Lan shook her head.
"But today I saw that the old lady had already prepared everything for me. If I hadn't gone to see her that day, she had even written a will for me, indicating that she would leave her things to me."
"I didn't do anything..."
Xia Lan leaned against Qin Yu's chest and poured out her feelings.
"For you, perhaps nothing much has happened."
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, but he knew that Xia Lan's kindness was selfless; she always thought of others first.
“The old lady has no other relatives. When she needed help the most, you appeared and helped her.”
“You were the one who took care of her in the hospital, you were the one who took care of the old man for her, and you were the one who told us about the old man’s situation.”
“If it weren’t for you, the old lady and the old man might have just passed away, keeping it all bottled up inside their hearts for the rest of their lives, unable to talk it out.”
Qin Yu explained each point one by one, and Xia Lan was stunned for a moment.
"Did I do that much?"
She has no recollection of this.
"have."
Qin Yu smiled and kissed Xia Lan's forehead. She had done so many things that he couldn't even count them all.
"Your existence has changed the fate of many people."
"Including me."
Qin Yu gently kissed Xia Lan's lips, tenderly and with pity.
Xia Lan was so overwhelmed by Qin Yu's passionate kiss that she responded to him.
Huh, Qin Yu today...
Why does it look so blurry...?
Xia Lan was in a daze, watching Qin Yu gradually disappear.
In her daze, Xia Lan returned to the day she first met Qin Yu.
Xia Lan woke up to find herself floating in the air.
She watched as Qin Yu rescued 'Xia Lan,' who had also been extorted by her uncle. However, after Qin Yu saved Xia Lan's life, he didn't keep her; instead, he gave her some money, and Xia Lan left.
Just as Qin Yu had told her before, in the village, Qin Yu was once again ridiculed for being unwanted.
Qin Yu simply agreed to these things and went about his business in silence. He never married and Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin never found him because they were killed by Qin Yao.
It was because of this that Qin Yu discovered his true identity and sent the Qin family to prison.
Even as his business grew and he became one of the world's top 100 richest people, he remained alone.
Xia Lan watched him stand forlornly atop the high building, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and her heart tightened.
Without her presence, Qin Yu was as cold as an emotionless machine.
Unbeknownst to Xia Lan, Xu Xiaoyu married a scheming man who leeched off her.
Meng Qiqi was not rescued from the human traffickers. When Lin Xiuxiu found him, Meng Qiqi had already been drugged and turned into a mentally challenged child, begging on the street.
Sudan was almost kidnapped, but fortunately Bai Xiao saved her in the end. After the experience, Sudan gave up her studies and went home.
Zhao Pandi suffered the most, because without Xia Lan's help, she was sold by her family when she was only halfway through her studies.
Even without her subsequent hunger strike, Zhao Pandi had already lost everything, forced into becoming a wife and endless housework.
Wu Shishi married the man she met through a blind date, only to discover later that he suffered from bipolar disorder. He was polite in public but had a violent temper in private, and Wu Shishi was tormented to the point of committing suicide.
Du Wenqing received no help in the abandoned house in Shanghe Village and eventually died of illness, without living to see his darkness dispelled by the sun.
Xiao Guoqiang was deceived by two foreigners, who tricked him into signing a contract and swindled him out of a lot of money. He resigned in disgrace and died in depression.
Everyone who met Xia Lan returned to their original paths, and Xia Lan felt heartbroken seeing their fates.
"Lanlan!"
"Lanlan!"
"..."
Xia Lan slowly opened her eyes as she heard Qin Yu's urgent calls echoing in her ears.
Qin Yu hugged her tightly, his eyes reddening with the joy of having her back.
What's wrong with me?
"You suddenly seemed to have lost your soul, and I couldn't wake you up no matter how much I called you."
Qin Yu hugged Xia Lan tightly, afraid that she would disappear again at any moment.
The immense fear nearly drove Qin Yu to the brink of collapse.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Qin Yu asked nervously.
"I'm fine."
Xia Lan shook her head and sat in Qin Yu's lap.
"I just dreamt that if I hadn't come into this world... what would you all be like..."
Xia Lan slowly recounted everything she had dreamed about. Qin Yu listened to Xia Lan's words and did not think that Xia Lan was talking in her sleep.
On the contrary, after listening, he felt that it was very likely that Xia Lan was right.
Do you think I'm dreaming?
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, who shook his head.
"Actually, I had the same dream back when you gave birth to Youyou and Xiaomo."
In that dream, he had no Xia Lan, only loneliness. Whenever he looked up at the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking.
That feeling of loneliness made him afraid of losing Xia Lan.
He knew that life without Xia Lan was just like that.
Really?
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu.
"You never told me this."
"I dare not say, what if the dream comes true..."
Qin Yu buried his face in Xia Lan's shoulder, and only by smelling her scent could he calm down.
"I really thought I had lost you."
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Xia Lan hugged Qin Yu's head and gently nuzzled it.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. Perhaps you're right, I did come for a reason!"
Xia Lan chuckled softly.
Thinking about everyone's happy life now, Xia Lan felt that this was perhaps telling her that she had truly changed everyone's destiny.
"You won't do this again, will you?"
Qin Yu felt like his heart couldn't keep up with her fright.
"It probably won't happen..."
Xia Lan was also unsure.
"So shouldn't we cherish the present even more?"
Xia Lan chuckled and took the initiative to kiss Qin Yu's lips, deepening the kiss.
Desperate for Xia Lan, Qin Yu yielded to her advances, and the temperature between them rose steadily, gradually spiraling out of control. Qin Yu called out Xia Lan's name again and again.
Xia Lan responded to him softly, and Qin Yu felt her presence again and again.
In her dazed state, Xia Lan regretted that she shouldn't have flirted with a man who lacked a sense of security.
Lost in a sea of desire, Xia Lan could only respond to Qin Yu again and again until dawn, when Qin Yu finally let her go.
Even when sleeping, Qin Yu still wouldn't let go of her, keeping her locked in his arms, only able to sleep peacefully when he could feel everything about her.
Seeing Qin Yu's insecurity, Xia Lan had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
