Chapter 324: Xu Xiang’s Dilemma
Xu Xiang walked to the glass tube, put her palm on the glass tube, and then a large screen appeared in front of the glass tube. She took a few steps back, then looked up at the big screen. A few seconds later, Lun Hui’s face appeared on the screen.
The siblings looked at each other for a few seconds, before Lun Hui asked, "What happened? Did your boyfriend bully you?"
After hearing what her elder brother said, Xu Xiang smiled. She shook her head and asked, "Elder Brother, can you reconstruct my DNA?"
Lun Hui frowned slightly when he heard her question. He stared at her for a moment, then said, "I thought you knew your DNA was impossible to reconstruct. All we can do is support your body with a body strengthening solution."
Listening to his straightforward answer, the light inside Xu Xiang’s eyes dimmed and she lowered her eyes. Lun Hui looked at her in silence for a while, before asking, "What’s wrong? Is anyone talking about your looks again? Want your elder brother to beat them up for you?"
Hearing that familiar sentence again after so many years, Xu Xiang recalled her previous two lives and chuckled lightly. Whenever someone made fun of her ordinary looks, her elder brother would beat them up ruthlessly. Unfortunately, her elder brother can no longer protect her, and she already learned to protect herself a long time ago.
She sighed sadly, sat down on a chair, looked up at him and asked, "Elder Brother, do you know why those people mess with my DNA?"
Lun Hui shook his head and said, "I never heard from our parents about this. I only know that when we find out, it’s already impossible to repair your DNA. It’s our fault that we couldn’t protect you even before you were born."
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
Xu Xiang shook her head and said with a smile: "It’s nothing. Something happened just now, which made me rethink many things."
"Can you tell me what you are thinking now?" Lun Hui asked again, trying to find out what was troubling his younger sister.
Xu Xiang sighed and asked, "Elder Brother, do you still remember the story I told you when I was five years old?"
Lun Hui nodded, and then Xu Xiang said, "Actually, that is not a story, but my reality. In that life, I was able to live past the age of twenty three years old because I awakened the body strengthening ability. Although I am a supernatural being, because my DNA is incomplete, it is impossible for me to have the same power as other supernatural beings. The only fortunate thing is that after awakening my ability, I can live like an ordinary person."
"What do you want to say?" Lun Hui asked calmly.
Xu Xiang sighed again, and said, "In this world, I have no way to awaken my ability, and you said that my DNA cannot be reconstructed. If this is the case, can I really live past the age of twenty three?"
As soon as she said this, both of them fell into silence. After a long silence, Xu Xiang said, "In the past, I didn’t care as long as I could survive to see the next morning sun. But after I came to this world and met Yucheng, I began to have hope for the future. I started thinking maybe... Maybe I could have a happy ending too."
She smiled sadly, looked up at her elder brother and said, "I already know that I can only live for three more years, but I still refuse to let go and hold on to this hope tightly. Elder Brother, do you think it’s right for me to accept him in the first place? I really don’t want to see the people I love sad because of me anymore. Don’t you think short-term pain is better than long-term suffering?"
Lun Hui listened to her silently. After Xu Xiang finished speaking, he calmly asked, "Then do you want to give up on him and your hope?"
Xu Xiang didn’t answer for a long time, and then said softly: "I don’t want to, but I think I should let it go. It’s not fair to him, and I don’t want to waste his time. I found out that there are many women who like him besides me, and they can stay with him for a long time, unlike me."
Hearing his younger sister’s answer, Lun Hui sighed and said, "Xiang’er, you should discuss this with him before making a decision. This relationship is not only about you, but also about your partner. He has the right to know everything and make his own decisions. You should go back and tell him those words that you just told me. No matter what your final decision is, remember that your elder brother will always be by your side."
After Lun Hui finished speaking, the screen disappeared and the lights in the laboratory went out. Xu Xiang sat in the darkness for a long time before getting up and leaving the space. When she appeared outside, Mu Yucheng hugged her before she could see her surroundings clearly.
He hugged her for a while before letting go, looked at her and asked cautiously: "Xiang’er, are you angry with me?"
Xu Xiang looked at him and said with a smile: "No. I just need time to think about some things."
Mu Yucheng stared at her, feeling that there was something she didn’t tell him, and it was a very important thing. After thinking about it, he decided not to ask.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, smiled at Xu Xiang, and gently asked, "Shall we look around the village?"
Xu Xiang nodded to him and said, "Mhm. Let’s go and see the farmland area first. I want to see if spiritual energy from the plants has revitalized the soil or not."
