Shang Shaoyan was naturally panicked. In her past life, she had been raised by Shang Yunlan since she could remember. At the moment of the car accident, Shang Yunlan's first reaction was to shield her with his body, cover her eyes, and say her last words with difficulty and weakness: "An'an, live well."
Shang Yunlan died on the spot. She was sent to the hospital and survived for three weeks, but still could not live.
She heard doctors and nurses lamenting the passing of China's youngest richest man and expressing concern that his sister might also be difficult to save.
Shang Shaoyan can still remember how she felt at the time—she wasn't afraid of death or pain; she was only afraid that her brother would forget to eat on time and drink more hot water while he was down there alone, and she worried that he wouldn't be able to take good care of himself.
When she was a child, she was often called a "bastard child without parents" by the children around her. Once, Shang Yunlan heard this and beat up all the children, injuring himself badly. While crying, she applied medicine to Shang Yunlan and called him an "idiot".
At that time, Shang Yunlan just smiled and said to her, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. An'an, don't listen to their nonsense. With your brother here, you're not a bastard."
Shang Shaoyan has always been resilient and has an extremely strong will to live, but during those three weeks lying in the hospital bed, she really didn't want to live anymore.
But... her brother told her to live well.
The day before she passed away, her lawyer visited her, and that's when she learned that her brother had already made a will, leaving all his property to her; fearing that she wouldn't want to work hard and strive, he had also carefully selected many capable people to manage her property.
He had arranged everything perfectly, but all she wanted was for her brother to come back.
They died on their way to buy a house, but Shang Shaoyan would rather live like before, squeezing into a 30-square-meter old house with her brother, sharing a packet of instant noodles. She doesn't want anything else as long as her brother can come back.
Shang Shaoyan thought that if there were an afterlife, she would protect her brother and take care of him for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, Heaven saw through them and granted them a next life, allowing the brother and sister to be reborn and reunite in another time and space, so that they could be brother and sister again for another lifetime.
Lin Jing listened silently. Seeing that Shang Shaoyan seemed lost in memories, he did not interrupt her. When she came back to her senses, he spoke calmly: "I will go down the mountain with you to Shengjing, but you must not reveal my identity to the outside world."
Shang Shaoyan was stunned, somewhat disbelieving that things could be so easily resolved.
She opened her mouth, unsure what to say, and after a long while, she managed to stammer out, "What do I need in exchange for it?"
A hint of a smile appeared in Lin Jing's amber eyes: "The county magistrate has brought out the glass formula, which benefits the people of Shu Prefecture. This alone is more than enough."
Shang Shaoyan's eyes immediately reddened, and he knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Doctor Lin!"
Lin Jing sighed and personally helped Shang Shaoyan up: "Princess, there's no need for such a grand gesture."
He looked into Shang Shaoyan's eyes, which were filled with deep gratitude, and for some reason suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Jing quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her eyes as if to cover up her mistake: "You can tell me when you leave Shuzhou, and I would also appreciate it if you could help me create an identity to keep a low profile so that no one would have any ill intentions."
Shang Shaoyan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Dr. Lin. He Yang understands the situation and is grateful for your kindness. He will do his best."
