Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Yiling, can we go to the hospital for a checkup? Just in case there’s something wrong, it can be treated early. If treatment is delayed, it can become a serious and deadly condition,” Jian Yichen said with a serious expression on his face.

“Are you worried about me getting lung cancer?” Jian Yiling asked Jian Yichen.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yichen froze for a moment.

Then, he lowered his head and admitted: “Yeah…”

“You know about… Everything, right?”

Jian Yiling discovered this secret back when Jian Yichen was drunk.

However, she never confirmed this with Jian Yichen.

“Do you still remember?” Jian Yichen asked. He was a little confused.

“I do remember,” Jian Yiling admitted.

However, Jian Yiling recalled those memories through her dreams.

In the past three years, she kept having dreams about the past. Those dreams somehow felt like pieces of memories.

Eventually, she realized that she was the same person as the paranoid and crazy Jian Yiling in the original novel.

And she knew that she came back because of Jian Yichen.

However, after reincarnating two times, she no longer had memories of the past. The resentment and the obsession she once had no longer existed.

And even if she knew that she was the same person as Jian Yiling, a lot of those emotions belonged to the former Jian Yiling.

There was a veil between her and her past memories.

“Then did you experience tightness in your chest just now?” Jian Yichen asked.

In her previous life, Jian Yiling had died of lung cancer.

When the cancer was discovered in her body, the cancer cells had spread throughout her lungs and wrapped around the blood vessels and airways linked to her heart. Therefore, ordinary treatment could not be performed.

She had to consistently use painkillers to help her through the last part of her life.

This was why Jian Yichen reacted so violently when he noticed Jian Yiling covering her chest with a hand.

“I do regular checkups. It’s fine,” Jian Yiling responded. She knew that she might get cancer again. Therefore, she had regular checkups.

“Then just now…”

“Ah…” Jian Yiling said as her small face flushed red. “My bra was a little tight…”

“Cough cough…”

Ah… It appeared as though he had been too sensitive.

“Then… Everything is alright,” Jian Yichen replied in embarrassment. Then, he added: “Remember to tell me if you need any help in the future. I might not be very useful but I will do my best to protect you this time around. I will never let you face those things alone.”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied as she nodded her head.

She believed in Jian Yichen’s words. She believed that he would protect her in this life.

After all, in order to help her, he already paid a very heavy price.

The two of them did not stay in the study room for long. They did not want everyone else to worry about them.

When Jian Yichen and Jian Yiling left the study room, Wen Nuan anxiously asked: “Yiling, are you alright?”

“No no, she’s fine. I was overthinking,” Jian Yichen replied with embarrassment on his face. “Don’t ask about it any further. It’s very awkward.”

Jian Yichen’s awkward laughter successfully reassured Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan.

“Please don’t do that again. You scared me to death,” Jian Shuxing said in a good-natured way.

“Yes, yes. I will pay attention next time,” Jian Yichen hurriedly apologized and admitted his mistake.

“It’s okay as long as everything is alright..”
