1458 The True Self
After a long time, Ling Lan clicked on the video again. She watched a few videos in a row. They were all trivial things that her younger brother had recorded. Some of them were about her, and some weren't about her.
But no matter what, whenever her parents and brother talked about Ling Lan in the video, they were filled with anticipation. They sincerely hoped that Ling Lan could recover and return home.
Ling Lan quickly scrolled down. Suddenly, the name of a video caught her attention.
I'm finally useful.
The names of the previous videos were all numbers. The sudden appearance of this name made Ling Lan click on it curiously.
The first thing that came into view was a university admission notice. Her younger brother's voice could be heard in the video. "Sis, did you see that? I got into a university." “
His slender fingers picked up the admission notice. In the next second, the image changed. Her younger brother's extremely honest smile and the admission notice on his cheek appeared.
"B University's Medical Department, the top medical school in the country. Isn't your younger brother great? Sis, remember to praise me. " “
Ling Lan suddenly remembered that when she left that year, it was the year that her younger brother was fighting hard for his college entrance exams.
She seemed to have never asked her younger brother which school he wanted to go to. Every time they met, her younger brother would always call her "Sis" and then sit quietly at the side, listening to her conversation with her parents. Silent was Ling Lan's impression of her younger brother. But in the video, he was very lively …
Ling Lan thought that her younger brother, who she only saw twice a year, would have a very weak relationship with her. They never had a deep conversation. Ling Lan was very satisfied that her younger brother didn't despise her, a burden that dragged the whole family down. She didn't dare to ask for too much. But now, Ling Lan seemed to be a little uncertain.
The smile on his brother's face slowly froze. He lowered his head abruptly and rubbed his eyes with his palms. When he raised his head again, his expression had returned to its usual radiant state. However, his eyes were red and there were still tears at the corners of his eyes.
"So, sister, you must hold on. Wait for me for seven years, and I will cure you." The younger brother's eyes were serious and cautious, as if Ling Lan was sitting on the other side of the video.
Ling Lan was in a daze for a moment. Her younger brother in her previous life was like Li Shiyu. He chose to become a doctor because of her.
"Where have they been all this time?" Ling Lan raised her head and looked at Li Shiyu coldly.
"Oh? You finally want to know? "Li Shiyu leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
Ling Lan closed her eyes and calmed herself down. If her emotions fluctuated too much, she would often make the wrong judgment.
When she opened her eyes again, Ling Lan's eyes were as calm as water again. She lowered her head to look at her phone. This time, she chose not to look at the video but the picture.
Li Shiyu's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect this strong girl who was struggling on the brink of death to have such good observation skills. She immediately chose the right direction to look for the answer.
Most of the pictures were documents with dates. Ling Lan picked a few of them based on dates. Most of them were photos of her family. She quickly scanned down and saw the three words "Contract 1". She quickly opened it.
This was a work contract. It was a contract for a geological survey abroad. If she wasn't wrong, this should be about her father. Ling Lan remembered that her father was a geological survey technician. As expected, she saw her father's signature on Contract 6.
"Did my parents go out and my younger brother study at B University?" Ling Lan asked.
"The salary overseas is higher. They asked me about your illness. I said that even if it could be cured, it would cost a lot of money to recover. It was a bottomless pit. They thought about it for a long time before they decided to go out, "Li Shiyu said calmly. "As for your younger brother, he did study at B University for the first three years, but not anymore … He was very good at his studies so he was sent to Country M to further his studies."
"That's good." As long as Ling Lan knew that their family was doing well, it was fine. As for whether they could meet … She wasn't the Ling Lan from her previous life. She didn't have Ling Lan from her previous life, so it didn't matter anymore.
"That's why they didn't come to see you. Wait a few more years and you'll be able to meet them. Don't misunderstand them anymore." Li Shiyu's voice came slowly with a soft sigh.
Ling Lan's pupils constricted. She clenched her fingers so hard that she almost crushed the phone in her hand.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at the screen again. She chose to arrange the files by time. The latest videos and photos were all from three years ago.
Ling Lan's fingers trembled slightly. She clicked on the last video.
"Sis, the summer vacation is over. It's time for me to go to B University again. Soon, Mom and Dad will go overseas to work. We're all working hard so you have to work hard too. Sis, Mom and Dad said that you're the most sensible and strong child in our family. They said that if I can learn a little from you, I'll be the leader of this generation … I don't know how much I can learn from you but I'll definitely get a place to further my studies in Country M. When that time comes, I'll definitely record a video to tell you. " Her younger brother clenched his fists and looked at the video. He cheered for her and made his promise.
"Lanlan, send your younger brother to the train station. We're going to FZ too. In the future, we might only come back to see you on your birthday. Your younger brother taught us how to video chat. In the future, even if we're overseas, we can still video chat with you. Lanlan, no matter how far away we are, you'll always be our most beloved daughter." Her mother's gentle smile appeared in the video. Her father was sitting at the side. When he saw the camera, he turned his head away. However, her mother elbowed him forcefully. Her father had no choice but to turn his face back. His stern face revealed a gentle smile as he nodded.
It was still the same as before. In her previous life, her father didn't like to express his feelings directly. He wasn't like her father, Ling Xiao. He would always express his love for his daughter clearly and wouldn't allow Ling Lan to ignore him. He would even be jealous of her relationship with her mother. However, she didn't know if he was jealous of her mother or her daughter.
Although the way they expressed their love was different, both fathers' love for her was very pure.
Ling Lan's eyes started to water. It slowly condensed and slid down her face.
She started crying silently. In the end, she started crying loudly.
"Ling Lan, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry. It's not good for your body …" Ling Lan's cries shocked Luo Chao and Han Xuya.
Li Shiyu's eyes dimmed. He knew that he couldn't hide it from Ling Lan.
"Let her cry. It's better for her if she cries." Li Shiyu stopped Luo Chao and Han Xuya from comforting her.
Han Xuya and Luo Chao looked at Li Shiyu in confusion. They didn't understand why Ling Lan would be so sad when the misunderstanding was resolved.
Li Shiyu sighed. They were three girls around the same age. Compared to the intelligent Ling Lan, his two nurses were too naive and sweet.
"I came back to this world so that I can see clearly who is the real cold-blooded person. It's you, Ling Lan! From the beginning to the end, you are the most selfish person. You are also the one who loves yourself the most. You avoid possible harm and always choose the way that benefits you the most. You are always yourself, not others. No matter if it's your previous life or this life, it's always like this. The so-called dominance and freedom are all just to serve your selfishness. Ling Lan, this is the real you. "
