"Brother Lan Lin, I’m Zhilan. When we were young, thank you for taking care of me. I got lost and was kidnapped by traffickers. It had nothing to do with you, it was because I was playful and naughty. So, if you know about this in the afterlife, don’t worry. Now, I have returned to the city where I lived when I was a child. After more than a decade, I slowly met my brothers from my childhood. From now on, I will live well!"
Time never gives people the opportunity to wait.
Lin Chan thought, how great it would be if Lan Lin was still alive at this moment.
He was also really thankful to fate, that after more than ten years, he got the chance to bring his brother’s most cherished sister to his grave to talk.
"Lan Lin, I, Lin Chan, swear to you, no matter what happens in the future, I will treat Miss Zhilan as my own sister, and I will put your share of affection into it!" After finishing speaking, Lin Chan stretched out his hand to pat the tombstone, his action and expression were like patting a good brother’s shoulder.
Having made the promise, Lin Chan saw signs that it was about to rain, so he left the cemetery with He Zhilan and bid farewell to Lan Lin.
"When is Brother Lan Lin’s death anniversary?" Back in the car, He Zhilan asked.
"In winter, by that time, I’ll bring you back to see him." Lin Chan suddenly smiled, "If there is indeed reincarnation, maybe, Lan Lin has already been reborn, maybe even grown up. But, all these things about reincarnation, it’s just made up stories to fool people, once a person dies, that’s it, we turn to dust. So, while we are alive, we must treat ourselves well, seize the moment, and cherish the people around us, right?"
"I believe in reincarnation, Brother Lan Lin was such a good person, so after reincarnation, he will definitely have a new life, a better fate." He Zhilan spoke with conviction, even she, although not such a good person, was given a chance to be reborn. Lan Lin, being such a good man, should have much more happiness waiting for him.
After leaving the cemetery, Lin Chan took He Zhilan back to university, and while the car was parked outside the girls’ dormitory, and he was chatting with He Zhilan, someone knocked on his car window.
Lin Chan turned his head impatiently to glance at the person outside the car window, rolled down the window, looked at the person outside, had thought for a while but couldn’t remember who he was.
"Young Master Chan, don’t you remember me? I am Liu Jiang! From Normal University, we even drank together last time! What a coincidence, you brought Zhilan back to university, huh?"
"Mr. Liu, I don’t recall being familiar with you? Doesn’t it feel a bit abrupt for you to address someone without their surname?" He Zhilan frowned, and silently wondered to herself, why did this Liu Jiang suddenly come to find her? He didn’t possibly still not have any news about Chen Shan, so he came looking for her, right?
Only then did Lin Chan recall the man outside the car was Liu Jiang!
"I say Liu Jiang, why are you hanging around here for no reason?" Lin Chan propped his hand on the car window and gave Liu Jiang a sideways glance, "Zhilan was called by you? If you can’t shut your own mouth, I don’t mind helping you do it."
Seeing He Zhilan’s reaction, Lin Chan realized she was very annoyed by Liu Jiang. Frankly speaking, as a man, Lin Chan despised Liu Jiang immensely. Liu Jiang was the type to rely on women to get ahead and always posing as if he was really capable.
"I’ve met Miss He quite a few times, we are very familiar!" Liu Jiang stepped back a bit taken aback by Lin Chan’s words, "I heard that Miss He got divorced not long after she was married, so I came here to comfort her as a friend."
