Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 19 - The Secret of the Ring

The former Han Jiaojiao nearly walked this very path. But in the end, her brother saved her, though she paid the price of losing an arm. The amputation was painful, but what hurt more was her heart, torn as if ripped into pieces. Because she knew she had not only lost an arm, but also the man who loved her most in the world…

……

Han Jiaojiao opened her eyes, her cheeks feeling moist. She wanted to sit up and saw her brother by the bedside staring intently at her, his expression extremely somber, which soon softened into tenderness after she woke.

“You were dreaming and crying hard,” Han Yi commented, lifting the soaked tissue in his hand.

Han Jiaojiao hugged him actively. “Brother, you will never leave me, will you?”

“What happened? Did you dream that I left you?…”

Initially, Han Jiaojiao shook her head, then nodded quickly, and clung to him stubbornly, “Brother, say it, say you will never leave me.”

Han Yi gave a faint smile, “Yes, I will never leave you.”

Only then did Han Jiaojiao feel relieved. She kissed Han Yi on the cheek lightly and said, “Brother, you are so kind.”

Han Yi pulled a few more tissues and gently wiped the tears from her face, “What about Jiaojiao? Would you leave your brother?”

“Of course not!” Han Jiaojiao replied immediately, her voice firm, “Not even in death will I leave Brother!”

Han Yi seemed touched, murmuring to himself: “…Not even in death, huh…”

“Brother, brother, brother…” Han Jiaojiao softly called out to him as she nestled in his embrace, as if each call made her heart feel more secure and sweeter.

Her voice was as soft and tender as a little lamb, making Han Yi’s heart itch.

He bent his head and kissed her forehead.

“Jiaojiao… you are brother’s treasure…”

Han Jiaojiao felt immensely happy and content. Even if it was just a simple embrace, doing nothing, she was willing to be with him till the end of time, as long as he wanted her, she could be any way he wished.

In this life, her brother would definitely be well.

Han Jiaojiao, in Han Yi’s embrace, lowered her long eyelashes, thinking of the past events in her previous life.

In her previous life, she knew Han Yi had many enemies, but she wasn’t clear about who they specifically were, because she didn’t care about him at that time. However, she knew about Qin Wenhao.

Qin Wenhao was always opposing Han Yi, and she had thought that it was to avenge Qin Nanyi, but from the conversations with Qin Nanyi, it was clear their cousin relationship was not that great. If so, why did Qin Wenhao plot eagerly to put Han Yi to death? Originally, she guessed it might be due to the competitive nature of men? But this reason was very far-fetched because, although Han Yi was strong, he and the Qin family were based at different bases, the Qin family members were at Wunan Base, and Han Yi’s strength wouldn’t bother Qin Wenhao. Regrettably, Han Jiaojiao couldn’t find any other answer. Qin Wenhao and her brother died together in that sewer, along with the truth buried forever.

—If the “Crystal Core” hypothesis proved to be true, everything would be explainable. Perhaps it wasn’t personal, but rather an instruction from the Qin family behind the scenes.

If it was true, clashing with the Qin family was just a matter of time. Then, the ring, she became even more determined to possess it… Whether the news was true or false, she couldn’t let the ring fall into those people’s hands.

Only her brother, only her brother deserved to possess that ring!

Han Jiaojiao suddenly remembered another event.

That person… that person seemed to have mentioned the ring too?! But at that time, she was anxious to inquire about Qin Nanyi’s situation, and the other person was heavily drunk, so she didn’t pay attention to his complaints. So it turned out… everything he said was true!

…

—As days passed, the outside world became increasingly chaotic, prices soared, plagues spread, and hot-blooded students occasionally gathered in the streets to deliver speeches, calling for humanity to unite and confront the hardships.

During this period, there were news bursts about the discovery of alien spaceship wreckage at the meteorite crash sites, but after only displaying two very blurry satellite photos twice, it ended with the government organizing research teams to actively study the matter. Later, the news of alien spaceship wreckage was drowned in the discourse of salvation and human self-redemption. If it were a time of peace, perhaps UFO-related news would attract many, even if it was fake, many would tirelessly pursue it. But in this moment of life-threatening crisis, humans were more concerned about their basic needs.

Many factories gradually shut down, the number of unemployed people increased, hospitals were always too crowded to enter, police stations were brightly lit day and night, and highways were continuously flooded with cars, all because of the migrants affected by the turmoil.

While the world seemed to still be functioning, it was fraught with crisis, just waiting for that final straw…
