Chapter 8

At first, when Song Ningbing saw the young man in front of her who looked exactly like her brother, her emotions were incredibly complex. She felt a bit of comfort, but mostly overwhelming sadness, to the point that she didn't even notice Lan Ling's stunned expression.

Later, when Lan Ling suddenly rushed over and hugged him, she was shocked, embarrassed, and angry. After being stunned for a while, she tried to break free, but Lan Ling held her too tightly, and she couldn't escape.

Night Jingyu, upon noticing, quickly rushed in, startled and angry, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Then, she grabbed Lan Ling's arm and shook it violently, dislocating his shoulder.

Despite the dislocated shoulder, Lan Ling felt no pain and continued to hold Song Ningbing tightly.

"Sister, Lankou, we will never be separated again. I want to marry you, and I want to protect you for the rest of my life!" Lan Ling blurted out all the words he hadn't had time to confess on Earth.

At this moment, Song Ningbing calmed down because Lan Ling's words were so sincere and heartfelt, completely genuine and impossible to fake.

"Jingyu, don't hurt her," Song Ningbing said. Then she stopped struggling and, looking at Lan Ling's ecstatic and confused gaze, said gently, "You, let go of me first. My name is Song Ningbing, not Lankou. You have the wrong person..."

Lan Ling was taken aback and said, "Sister, I am Lan Ling, the Lan Ling you raised from childhood."

Song Ningbing replied, "I really don't know anyone named Lan Ling."

Lan Ling gradually calmed down and carefully examined the woman in front of him.

Her demeanor and appearance were exactly like Sister Lankou's. Of course, because of her noble status, she had a bit more dignity and grace. Moreover, perhaps due to a comfortable life, her features seemed even more exquisite and beautiful, a beauty that was truly breathtaking.

But that gentle, water-like feeling, that look in her eyes, was exactly the same.

Since I can travel through time, Sister can also travel through time, right? Lan Ling asked, "Were you born in this world?"

Song Ningbing was taken aback and nodded, "Of course, I was born in the Tian Shui Earl's Manor."

Lan Ling said, "Then, do you have any other memories, like someone else's memories?"

Song Ningbing was taken aback and then shook her head.

Lan Ling instantly felt a sense of loss. Could it be that this woman is not Sister Lankou? If Lankou had traveled through time, she should have Earth memories.

Then, Lan Ling thought of another possibility. Could this be a reincarnation? Could this Song Ningbing be Lankou's next life?

Yes, it must be. It must be. They look almost identical, so they must be the same person. Even if their bodies and memories are different, their souls are the same.

Lan Ling kept telling himself that this woman is this life's Lankou, even though she doesn't know it herself.

My coming to her must be the will of heaven, it must be the will of heaven.

Song Ningbing said softly, "Can you tell me stories about her? The sister you mentioned, Lankou."

Lan Ling nodded and said, "I am an orphan, born without knowing my parents, and grew up in an orphanage. When I was four, I was adopted by a family..."

Lan Ling began to tell the story of him and his sister Lankou.

When he talked about his adoptive parents' accidental death, Song Ningbing was already crying again.

When he talked about Lankou's face being disfigured by acid thrown by a bad person, Song Ningbing was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Because Sister didn't want to live anymore, I decided to propose to her before killing that bastard, to give her the courage to continue living. Although her face was disfigured, in my heart, she will always be the most beautiful."

At this point, even Night Jingyu's face was moved.

"That night, there was a meteor shower. I used a machine to record my proposal to Sister, and I was going to show it to her, but I was hit by a meteor and woke up in a strange place..."

Lan Ling finished telling the story of him and Lankou. He didn't mention time travel, only that it was a very far and different place.

After listening, Song Ningbing and Night Jingyu fell silent, and Song Ningbing's eyes were already completely red.

"Is it... really that similar?" Night Jingyu asked.

"Almost the same appearance, the same demeanor, and the same eyes. When she was about to scold me for being naughty, I would make jokes, and she would try to keep a straight face but couldn't help laughing. Others would cover their stomachs, but she would press her lower back."

"When she was about to get angry, her ears would itch. When I tickled her, she wasn't afraid of her feet, stomach, or armpits, but her knees were extremely ticklish..."

Upon hearing these extremely private details, Song Ningbing's body trembled, and she immediately looked at Night Jingyu.

"I haven't revealed any of Miss's secrets, and I don't even know these things," Night Jingyu said. "Could it be... Miss, you are like this too?"

Song Ningbing nodded, disbelieving.

"Miss, this is the will of heaven, it really is the will of heaven..." Night Jingyu said. "He is destined to come to your side."

Song Ningbing's gaze towards Lan Ling became increasingly gentle and filled with emotion. Then she stepped forward and gently hugged Lan Ling, saying softly, "From today on, you are my brother. Sister will protect you for life and take care of you for life!"

...

One of the four playboys of the capital, Suo Lun, has returned!

This news spread through the mouths of the people and within less than a day, it had reached the entire capital. Some were elated, some were saddened, but most were indifferent.

This wasteful playboy had been missing for several months and even missed his father's funeral. Everyone thought he had died in the Tianmo Mountains, but he unexpectedly returned alive.

Originally, it was thought that the Suo family would be extinct, and another century-old noble family would be wiped out, but unexpectedly, they were given a reprieve.

In the pavilion of Lishui Garden near the palace, a woman of unparalleled beauty, wearing a white dress, lay lazily on the pavilion corridor. One hand held a book, while the other hand was submerged in the clear pond, allowing the beautiful little fish to nibble at it.

She was the first talented woman of the Nulang Kingdom, the Zhi Ning Princess, the object of countless young men's dreams.

A eunuch walked to the pavilion without touching the ground and said in a low voice, "Princess, that toad Suo Lun has returned."

Zhi Ning Princess's nearly perfect eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her hand in the water tightened. Then she said calmly, "I know."

The eunuch said, "What should the servants do?"

Zhi Ning Princess said, "Do nothing."

"Yes," the eunuch said, paused for a moment, and then silently retreated.

Zhi Ning Princess continued reading, and her hand in the water relaxed. A small fish slipped into the water, its belly already white.

"Brother Li, rest assured, I will not let the fish slip away. I will definitely take Tian Shui City for you," Zhi Ning Princess said softly, only audible to herself.
