Chapter 29: Sweet Brother
Chapter 29
It\'s easy to say, but the pain she suffered in her previous life made it difficult for her not to think about it.
An ZhiXia had not expected this outcome either.
No wonder Zhou Nan was so excited just now.
However, she was even more grateful to the old man and old lady.
No matter what their purpose was, the result was the best for her anyway.
An JingZhi was in a hurry to go to work, and did not have too much time to delay.
Zhou Nan had originally wanted to take An ZhiXia to the hospital for an examination in the afternoon, but now he didn\'t have the heart to do it.
An ZhiXia was also very confused. The things she had let go of in her previous life, when she experienced them again, seemed to trap her again.
In a daze, she returned to her room, abandoning these troublesome thoughts. She was about to go into her space to take a look, but there was another knock on her door.
An ZhiAng came in from outside. Seeing An ZhiXia\'s silent appearance, he asked her, "Are you unhappy?"
"Not really." She wasn\'t unhappy, she just felt that her thoughts were restricted by these things, which seemed a bit backwards. What was left in her mind was nothing but hatred and longing.
She should be looking forward in life. The meaning of rebirth was to live her life well and make up for past regrets, not to seek those unattainable things, such as parental love.
She just wanted to be a little selfish. She would only love those who loved her, and she didn\'t want to give too much unnecessary emotion to those who didn\'t love her, because that would hurt her.
Although she hadn\'t personally experienced the 100 years, she had seen too much.
Her feelings had long since faded.
If they hadn\'t shown her care and affection first, she wouldn\'t have had more expectations of them either.
It would actually be best to be like her second and third brother, keeping a distance. As long as they didn\'t hurt her, it was already enough.
"Fourth brother, are you really going to join the army?" Although An ZhiXia was able to let go, it was different for An ZhiAng. Perhaps it was because they were twins, or perhaps it was because of his attitude towards her.
"I mentioned it twice before, but Mom didn\'t agree. She said it would be like Eldest Brother, rarely coming home even once a year. But if I could really join the army, I would be very willing."
The main reason was that it was too dangerous, so Zhou Nan was worried.
Boys and girls are different after all. To defend the country is his most ambitious dream.
However, thinking that his sister had just come back, and seeing his parents\' attitude fluctuating between her and MeiYun, while his second and third brothers were clearly neutral, if he left at this time, who would protect his sister?
An ZhiAng, who had lived freely for 18 years, was troubled for the first time.
An ZhiXia had heard from An MeiYun that in their previous life without rebirth, An ZhiAng had also joined the army. Later, he was even recommended by the army to go to military school, and his accomplishments were not low.
But in the previous life, after An ZhiXia\'s death, An MeiYun often told Zhou Nan about the dangers of being a soldier, who could not come home often. This led Zhou Nan to oppose An ZhiAng joining the army.
Later An ZhiAng went to the countryside as an educated youth, while An MeiYun stayed in the city to work and get married and have children.
This led to An ZhiAng already being in the countryside when the An family was framed, so he escaped the disaster. By the time he found out about the changes at home and tried to come back, it was too late. At that time, he didn\'t know it was An MeiYun who had harmed the family, which gave her the opportunity to frame him and imprison him, and he eventually died at her hands.
Thinking of those memories that only she knew, An ZhiXia was filled with emotion.
But in this life, she hoped that An ZhiAng could continue on the path he took in their life without rebirth. That was the purest path without others\' interference.
As for the rest of the An family, even if they didn\'t love her that much, she didn\'t want them to die tragically by being framed either.
"Fourth brother, since you want to, then go. Others\' thoughts are not your opinion. Don\'t let other people\'s reasons leave you with regrets in life. My handsome fourth brother would definitely look amazing in a military uniform."
"Really? Little sister, do you also think fourth brother should join the army?" She was the first person in the family to support him, and An ZhiAng felt very happy.
"A good man should have ideals. Either put on a doctor\'s coat to save lives, or put on a military uniform to defend the country. Now is the time to live freely for your dreams while our parents are healthy and we are young. When our parents are old and you have a wife and children to take care of, it would be difficult to leave. By then, others may have succeeded while you are still eating dirt. Won\'t that be sad to look back on?" An ZhiXia jokingly said, "And if you really have to eat dirt in the future, I can eat with you. Isn\'t that loyalty?"
"Yes, very loyal," An ZhiAng pinched her nose, feeling warm inside.
His friends used to praise how nice, well-behaved and obedient his sister at home was, and showed off the clothes and shoes she made for him. But he didn\'t feel that way.
It turned out it wasn\'t that his sister wasn\'t nice, obedient or well-behaved, just not the right person.
Seeing his own sister, he felt that no matter how she acted up in front of him, it would still be cute.
An ZhiAng said he wanted to take An ZhiXia out for a walk. He had decided to join the army, regardless of what his parents thought. If it came down to it, he would just run away.
While he was still at home, he wanted to familiarize her with the surrounding environment first.
That way, when he was gone, at least she would have someone to talk to and ask for directions when she went out.
Along the way, when someone asked An ZhiAng who was with him, he told the truth. After all, the family didn\'t intend to hide the fact that she had been switched. Otherwise, how could they explain his sudden extra sister?
Making up another excuse would be very unfair to An ZhiXia!
He also thoughtfully told An ZhiXia in private which elders were kindhearted and which aunties were gossipy.
The two walked a long, long way before chatting with a group of elders under a big tree in front of someone else\'s house on the way back.
Normally An ZhiAng would definitely not have so much patience, but now he desperately wanted An ZhiXia to become familiar with this area. When he wasn\'t home, she could feel a sense of belonging and at least find someone to talk to and ask for directions when she went out.
