Chapter 716: 716 Thank you for seeing the vulnerability I try hard to hide (Extra update)

Lin Tang’s eyes shone even brighter.

Thinking of the indescribable expression on Gu Yingzhou’s face upon seeing the medication, she gave him a triumphant look as if she had just found a comrade-in-arms.

Gu Yingzhou chuckled without saying a word.

...He still remembered.

Just then, Jing Yan, who had been sitting obediently on a stool, was brought over to Lin Tang by Guo Qiao.

"Tangtang, this is your brother Jing Yan."

Jing Yan was slender and small, with delicate features and bright eyes that shone like stars.

But he was a boy of few words.

Seeing that Jing Yan remained silent, Guo Qiao ruffled his hair.

"Yanyan, hurry up and call her, this is your sister. Do you remember what your dad said? From now on, you’ll have two sisters, and both will love you dearly," she encouraged.

Jing Yan pursed his lips and in a very quiet voice said, "Sister."

His fingers were tightly clenched, and he seemed a bit nervous.

Guo Qiao tried to smooth things over, "Looking at you both, Tangtang and Yanyan do have very similar eyes, as if cast from the same mold."

Jing Yi nodded, "Indeed."

Lin Tang raised an eyebrow.

No wonder she thought the young boy in front of her looked familiar.

Jing Yan’s smile turned up at the corners, and his eyes curved into crescents.

He looked even more like Lin Tang when he smiled.

Which made Gu Yingzhou take a few more glances at him.

Lin Tang didn’t harbor any rejection towards her brother, and gently tousled Jing Yan’s hair, speaking softly, "Comrade Jing Yan, hello, I’ve brought you a gift. It’s at home, and you can see it when you get back."

What she had brought was a slingshot and some wooden toys made by Lin Lu.

A look of surprise flashed in Jing Yan’s eyes, followed by joy, "Thank you, sister."

He lacked for nothing in terms of gifts, but his sister giving him a present meant that she accepted him as her brother.

That alone was enough to make the young boy happy.

The sounds from the hospital room rose and fell in waves.

Lively but not noisy.

Jing Ting had felt as though he was trapped in a frigid place, his body shackled and only the bone-chilling cold seeping into his limbs and body.

His mind grew heavier and heavier.

Until he completely lost consciousness.

Suddenly, from some distant place, a voice came through.

It kept calling out the name of the person he worried about most.

...Tangtang.

Jing Ting struggled with all his might.

He wanted to open his eyes, to get up, to see his daughter whom he owed so much.

That was the daughter he had longed for.

Jing Ting was a man not prone to sentimentality; work had always come first for him.

In second place was his daughter.

And that’s how he’d always acted.

Treating Ranran like the apple of his eye.

But then, the truth arrived unexpectedly.

Ranran was not his biological daughter; his own daughter had been switched by that woman Zhuo Jing to another family.

When he first heard of this, he was furious, wishing he could flay Zhuo Jing alive!

Later, when Jing Ting learned that Lin Tang was that very child, and knew of the injustices she had faced, his usually calm heart felt as if it were thrown into boiling oil.

It hurt unbearably, and he was in agony!

Upon hearing that Lin Tang was coming to Jin City, Jing Ting proceeded without rest for several days and nights to have a new room renovated.

The furniture was personally chosen by him, and he supervised the painting of the walls...

Finally, the day arrived when he saw that lovely daughter of his, with a smile that melted his heart, just as he had imagined her while she was still in her mother’s womb—a confident, radiant, healthy girl.

He stood rooted to the spot for a moment, filled with regret for not having seen his daughter grow up.

It wasn’t until she approached him and said a few words.

He was pleased internally, but his face, as always, did not show it; he later invited his daughter to stay at the family home, wanting to provide the best he could for her, but she refused.

Jing Ting was both proud and disappointed.

But let’s return to the present.

Having been in a coma for a long time, Jing Ting felt something flowing into his mouth and down his throat.

Where the liquid passed, it brought waves of warmth.

Dispelling the icy chill that had covered his body.

Gradually, his body seemed to regain some strength.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone in the hospital room was surrounding Lin Tang, praising her, while he, still a patient, temporarily went unnoticed.

Jing Ran looked at Lin Tang with shining eyes, "Tangtang, you’re so smart. I wish I could have a bit of your intelligence."

"I’m too dumb, it takes me so long to memorize Li Bai’s long poems, I can’t solve math problems, I’m bad at... everything..."

Her face was full of smiles, but there was a hint of sadness in the depths of her eyes.

Lin Tang ruffled Jing Ran’s hair, saying patiently, "Everyone is good at different things, you just haven’t mastered the right way to study, that’s all. You should look at your own strengths, not your weaknesses."

Jing Ran earnestly asked, "...Strengths?"

She didn’t seem to have any strengths, except for being good at eating and playing...

Awkward.

Lin Tang nodded, "Yes, strengths. Just like you, Ranran, you’re easily content, your heart is as clear as crystal, you’re sincere, and a very lovable girl. Everyone likes you; isn’t that a strength?"

Her words were forthright, causing Jing Ran’s face to flush.

Her eyes became moist, looking all the more clear.

"Am I, am I really that good?"

Lin Tang continued to nod seriously, "Of course, our Ranran is really wonderful."

Jing Ran hugged her happily, grinning so widely that her teeth were showing.

"Tangtang is great too, extremely great."

"Because I grew up in the wonderful Lin Family, and have now returned to the wonderful Jing Family, so, I will keep getting better." Lin Tang’s lips curled slightly, "I hope you will keep getting better as well."

"We are both children of the Lin and Jing Families; everywhere is home. I hope Ranran, no matter where you are, always feels at ease."

Lin Tang noticed Jing Ran had an inexplicable sense of guilt towards her.

It seemed like she was always trying to please her.

Seeing Ranran like this made Lin Tang feel pained.

Jing Ran was stunned.

She looked up at Lin Tang.

She saw a gentle smile in her eyes, but it was mixed with earnestness.

Jing Ran pursed her lips, feeling moved.

"I..."

Lin Tang rubbed her head, "Don’t overthink it, live happily like before, okay?"

Jing Ran felt a warmth in her eyes and leaned her head on Lin Tang’s shoulder.

"Thank you, Tangtang~"

Thank you for seeing the vulnerability I desperately tried to hide.

She always felt inferior to Tangtang in every aspect, and even occupied the place that should have been hers; she felt utterly detestable.

But Tangtang’s words were like a gentle breeze, effortlessly soothing the hesitation in her heart, letting her live as bravely and freely as before.

"Silly girl, we’ve already agreed to be like real sisters, to always support each other. I never lie, and I hope you can also be free." Lin Tang said with a smile.

She was young but had been through a lot, and was emotionally mature, far more so than Jing Ran, who had been pampered all her life.

Lin Tang could understand some of the emotional fluctuations Jing Ran experienced.

Jing Ran didn’t say anything, just nodded, each nod stronger than the last.

Jing Ting watched this scene quietly, feeling deeply moved.

He felt comforted by Jing Ran’s pure and innocent heart.

But the deepest feeling was one of heartache for Tangtang.

If she hadn’t experienced so much, she should have been living freely, carefree, always smiling.

How did she become so mature?!
