"Even if I get bitten by bugs or mosquitoes, I will have no regrets in this life," Xiang Xinyang murmured, with a look of complete acceptance.
After she accompanied Ji Lü up Ming Mountain, things were fine at first, but by night, there were many insects and mosquitoes and it was a bit cold.
She had several large, red, and swollen welts on her arms and legs from the bites.
Master Jiang's beautiful remark made her feel that everything was worthwhile.
Xiang Xinyang looked at Ji Lü and saw that he was dressed in thin clothes and holding an iron box. He looked at the painting in the box repeatedly and listened to Fei Ge's voice from the recorder.
The wind is colder at night than during the day.
The mountain is at a high altitude, the temperature is low, and the wind howls, making it even colder to the bone.
After Ji Lu gave her the coat, she felt a little warmer, but...
He seemed oblivious to the sounds and temperatures around him, his attention entirely focused on the drawing and the recording pen.
There are only a few paintings, and they are simple line drawings.
There is no hospital in the painting, only the family of four going out for a spring outing, playing, watching the sunrise and sunset, going to the beach, etc.
The family of four was enjoying a happy and harmonious time together, creating a warm and loving scene.
Unfortunately, those were all scenes in Ji Fei's imagination.
Before he fell ill, his parents were busy, his younger brother was rebellious and disobedient, and it was difficult for the family of four to get together.
After he fell ill, he couldn't leave his bed. Even when he got out of bed to walk, he couldn't go too far. He could only rely on medical equipment and medication to prolong his life.
At that time, Ji Lü's relationship with his parents had improved considerably, and everyone had more free time, but...
Ji Fei, however, could not go anywhere.
Sometimes even she lamented why fate loved to play such tricks on people.
The sound from the recorder was mixed with the sound of the wind, making it somewhat noisy, but it couldn't drown out Ji Fei's gentle voice.
This must have been Ji Fei's request for Ji Lü to take him to see the sunrise record.
Afterward, he put the painting and the recording pen into a metal box and buried it there.
When they arrived, they didn't find anything there.
Ji Lü stared at one spot for a while, then took out tools from the car and dug a few times, unearthing an iron box.
"This is the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen, and I will remember it forever."
"What should I do? I can't bear to leave my parents, and I can't bear to leave my little crybaby brother. I don't want to die... But these past few days, I seem to have seen a black and a white shadow beside me. I think those must be the Black and White Impermanence."
"I've heard that the Black and White Impermanence only appear beside the dying, and after death, they take away the soul of the deceased. I think... I must be dying soon, right?"
"If I leave, don't be sad or upset. This is my fate, it's just my destiny."
"If you're sad, then burn some more paper money for me."
There's a saying that goes, "Money makes the world go round." If I burn more money, I can live a better life down here.
"Maybe I can even buy a job as a substitute below."
"Xiao Lu, you must take good care of yourself after your brother is gone. No matter what you do or want to do, your brother will always support you."
"As for Mom and Dad, please take good care of them for me. They've worked so hard for me..."
"After I'm gone, they should... be relieved, no longer have to surround me every day, no longer have to cry their eyes out..."
"Let's be brothers again in the next life. I promise I'll be a good brother and take good care of you."
"I'm afraid there's no way I can do it in this lifetime."
"It's such a pity that I can't see you become a professional race car driver, and I can't see you competing on the track."
...
Ji Lu's eyes reddened, but he didn't cry.
A large part of the reason he had a bad relationship with his parents was because he wanted to drop out of school and become a professional race car driver.
That was his dream, but his parents objected.
Only his brother gently patted his head and told him that he would support him no matter what he wanted to do.
If that's what he wants to do right now, then he should do it.
He will always be his support, his backer, and his safety net.
He will try to persuade his parents.
He also has to shoulder the burden for the Ji family.
but……
His brother fell ill at that time.
Unable to find the cause of the illness, even doctors brought in from abroad were helpless.
They can only survive by using instruments and equipment.
Every day, countless doctors crowd into his brother's hospital room to discuss and exchange ideas.
They treated his brother's body like a research subject for the medical community, conducting various experiments every day, but they could not find the cause of his illness or cure him.
After his brother passed away, his parents' hair turned white overnight, and they became haggard and depressed.
Only then did he become more sensible and stop acting recklessly.
He gave up his dream of becoming a professional race car driver and began to take over Star Shadow Company, succeeding his brother in his work.
That's when he realized that managing a company well is not easy, and making money is not easy either.
Every contract must be carefully considered and read thoroughly before signing one's name.
Once signed, you will be legally responsible.
Every decision he makes represents the company, and he represents the company.
Whether the company makes a profit or a loss is related to his decisions.
He had to be responsible for the entire Star Shadow, so he couldn't make any mistakes, and he absolutely couldn't give the board members any leverage to criticize him, or ruin Star Shadow's reputation.
When he first took over Xingying, the board members didn't think highly of him at all and kept sabotaging him behind his back. All the pressure was on him, making it hard for him to breathe, and he had to see a psychologist every week.
He even considered suicide, self-harm, and wondered why it wasn't him who died, but his beloved brother.
But in the end, he persevered.
