Rebirth: Concubine of the Republic of China bravely enters the entertainment industry

She poured water and turned on the heater. She hadn't stopped since she entered the dormitory. Qiao Sitian was not used to such thoughtfulness and immediately dissuaded her: "Lan Yun, stop busying yourself. I think... you know why I'm here."

"Xiao Tian...";

Just as she was about to sigh, Qiao Sitian extended a hand to her, and the two held hands, each conveying a cold feeling;

"Lan Yun, I met Teacher Liu on my way here..."

Xu Lanyun lowered her eyes and asked, "What did he say?"

Qiao Sitian pondered for a while before saying, "He said that he is no longer needed here and you don't want him to stay here. I think he seems very sad..."

"No need to say more," Xu Lanyun interrupted calmly and changed the subject: "Aren't you filming right now? How long can you stay this time? It's really unfortunate. If you had come yesterday, you could have caught up with the children."

Understanding her evasion, Qiao Sitian followed her words and replied: "I have to leave early tomorrow morning, Lan Yun, I came here this time just to see you...";

“I’m fine, you…”;

"Whether you are well or not, only you know. I know Tan Yifan is a good person, but... you can't let him ruin your life. Love is important, but the living have to keep living, right? It's not time to despair yet..."

Xu Lanyun loosened her grip and said, "I lied to him..."

Qiao Sitian was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and asked, "What?";

Xu Lanyun calmly pulled out his hand and said with relief: "It's not that there is not much time left, but that there is no possibility of treatment. Xiaotian, I came back here to wait for death..."

"Don't say that," Qiao Sitian's eyes were already filled with tears, and she said reluctantly: "No, you will definitely get better...";

Xu Lanyun did not have these sentimental feelings. Instead, she comforted her and said, "There are four things in this world that are beyond human control: birth, aging, illness, and death. But for me, they are nothing. If there is anything I am concerned about, it is only you."

Qiao Sitian didn't want to see her so depressed, so she tried to find something worthwhile to keep her. Suddenly she realized where she was and quickly asked, "What about the children? Can you bear to leave them behind?"

"And Mr. Liu, are you just going to let him go like this?";

Xu Lanyun turned around and picked up a file bag on the table and handed it to Qiao Sitian. She twisted the cotton thread around and took out two resumes from it;

Curiously asked; "What is this?";

Xu Lanyun separated the two pieces of paper and explained to her: "Liu Jian came here because of me. When I die, he will leave anyway, so it's better for him to leave now. I can arrange everything in advance..."

"These two are the ones who will take over our work. In the past, because of the support from the village and the fact that you almost single-handedly funded the establishment of the school, it was not easy for the county to directly send teachers here. Now that I am gone, it is just the right time to make room for the newcomers..."

"Schools should have been under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau and formalized their management long ago. We are all tired of trying to survive in this limbo."

“I’m tired too”;

Qiao Sitian said self-reproachfully: "I came too late";

Xu Lanyun lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "No, you came too early";

This statement caused the expressions of both men to change;

The atmosphere that was originally warmed by the heater suddenly became cold. When their eyes met, Xu Lanyun said, "You should wait until I am dying and unconscious before coming."

“You are not her”;

The originally warm eyes suddenly turned into a confrontation. After a while, Qiao Sitian finally said, "I don't understand where I revealed the flaw. I thought even Xiaotong was fooled by me..."

Xu Lanyun was not in a hurry to figure out who she was, and explained considerately: "They are different. She watches you perform every day, so it is understandable that she would be confused. But my memory is relatively simple, so I can naturally tell the difference between you two."

"So, you specifically asked Liu Jian to test me?";

"It's a bit harsh to say 'try', but I'm just doing my duty to the person who entrusted me with the task..."

"You haven't told me yet, what is the flaw?";

"You can treat yourself as a dying person, you feel more acutely than others. I don't see the shadow of an old friend in you";

Qiao Sitian smiled nonchalantly and said, "Since you and I have chosen to show our cards, why are we still testing each other? From the question you asked when we met, you have never thought of me as her, right?"

Xu Lanyun raised the corners of her lips, showing a gentle smile, and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, I will give you the things, but before that, you have to answer a few questions for me first. Don't be angry yet, this is what she meant";

Qiao Sitian looked at it for a while before she said, "You say";

"Who are you?";

"My name in this body now is He Yitang...";

"When she handed the things to me, she said this: The person you see next time may not be me. I thought she meant that this was the only help she could give me and we would have to figure out the rest on our own. I never thought that there would be such a thing in the world..."

“How did she die?”;

He Yitang still thought she knew everything. She didn't believe Xu Lanyun really saw through her disguise. There must be something else they agreed on, but she just didn't know the secret.

So he deliberately said: "Tell me what I want to know, and I will tell you what I know."

Xu Lanyun was not threatened by this and smiled calmly: "You have kept it a secret for more than two years. Should I say that your acting skills are better, or that her situation has become more difficult?"

He Yitang laughed even more, but only she knew how much pain she felt in her heart when she mentioned that incident and that place again;

She had full control over this body, no longer having the aura of an old friend, her eyes slightly red, smiling sweetly, "Have you heard of Haitang's former residence?";

"During the Republic of China, it was called Shen Garden. A woman died in a dry well behind it for unknown reasons. She waited bitterly for an impossible promise, from a living person, until she died..."

Xu Lanyun met her provocative gaze and said calmly: "That person is you, right?"

He Yitang said noncommittally: "She thought she was dead, but she didn't expect to have a chance to come back to life. She inherited a lot of messed up memories and wanted to start over. However, this kind of rebirth is not a gift worth celebrating..."

"I thought I had suffered enough, so I regarded Qiao Sitian's identity and possessions as a gift from fate to me. However, the more I saw of her memories, the more frightened I became. How could a person live like this, with no one around her whom she could trust?"

"Do you want to know how she died?";

"She was pushed down the well by Gu Jinfan, waiting to die with her eyes open. You should know that Qiao Sitian has claustrophobia..."

Xu Lanyun knew that this was He Yitang's revenge, and she suppressed the bitterness in her nose and said, "I thought you had been bombarded by that family's sugar-coated bullets and lost your way. It turns out that you know everything."

He Yitang sneered and said nonchalantly: "You are just about to die, but you can see it so clearly. For people like us who have died, there is no one worth trusting..."

"If they really loved Qiao Sitian that much, how could they force her to this point? I was unlucky in my previous life, but I also had family members who loved me, so how could I not be able to distinguish between what is true and what is false";
