After Lu Ning sent the message, she didn't receive a reply from him.

She looked at their chat window and felt something had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She seemed to have gotten used to Ji Chiqian being by her side.

She was at her most helpless and in the most pain when she was reborn.

It was Ji Chiqian who appeared beside her, holding up an umbrella for her and shielding her from the wind and rain.

He was both a teacher and a friend, and her feelings for him changed.

These past few days, with him gone, Lu Ning has actually felt quite irritable and really wants to see him.

Lu Ning felt that something was wrong with her emotions, so she went downstairs to buy something to distract herself.

She had just bought some snacks when a car drove by and honked twice.

Lu Ning turned around and saw her second brother, Lu Nanfeng.

Her expression softened slightly: "You're spying on me?"

"Ningning, this is City A. I think it's only a matter of time before I find you."

Lu Nanfeng's gaze was somewhat complicated. He had to admit that finding Lu Ning had taken him quite a bit of effort.

That school doctor named Ji Chiqian has quite a background.

But nothing has been found so far.

Lu Ning's eyes flashed with wariness: "What are you trying to say?"

"Ningning, I didn't mean any harm. The results are coming out soon, and I'm just concerned about you. After all, filling out college applications is a very important thing."

Lu Ning recalled the scene from her previous life when her second brother agreed to her sixth brother's suggestion to let her and Qin Xiang apply to a third-tier university together.

She gave a mocking look: "There's no need, I can manage on my own."

"Ningning, please don't throw a tantrum at this crucial moment. Don't gamble with your future, okay?"

Lu Nanfeng blocked her way, looking earnest: "I specifically asked a teacher to help you and Xiangxiang fill out your college applications..."

"Enough already, isn't this annoying?"

Lu Ning couldn't take it anymore: "Second brother, you guys never understand what others are saying, do you? Was what you just said so hard to understand?"

I hate it when you use the guise of doing what's best for me to morally blackmail me!

Lu Nanfeng seemed hurt, his face pale as he said, "I... I didn't mean that."

"It's best if that's not what you meant. Please stay away from me!"

Lu Ning turned and left, and behind her came a thud as Lu Nanfeng collapsed to the ground.

Lu Ning stood there, hesitating whether to go forward.

The driver, supporting Lu Nanfeng, said loudly to Lu Ning, "The boss's stomach problems have been acting up for a long time, but he just refuses to go to the hospital for treatment. I'm worried that if he keeps delaying like this, something serious will happen."

Lu Ning noticed the blood at the corner of her second brother's mouth.

She walked over irritably and, together with the driver, helped Lu Nanfeng into the car.

As she was about to leave, her second brother grabbed her hand tightly and said weakly, "Ningning, don't go. Your second brother was really wrong."

Lu Ning's feelings became complicated: "You should go to the hospital right away."

"Ningning, can you keep your second brother company?"

Lu Nanfeng still refused to let go, his eyes filled with pleading.

The driver said anxiously from the side, "Miss, please accompany the boss to the hospital. His condition really can't be delayed any longer."

Lu Ning was eventually pushed into the car by the driver.

She sat beside me, her face expressionless and silent.

Lu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Ningning, it's been a long time since you've had a proper talk with your second brother."

Lu Ning said coldly, "Isn't Qin Xiang with you? There's no need for me at all."

It has always been like this.

"Cough cough cough, that's not how it is. You and Xiangxiang are different. We are siblings. You are the most important person to me."

Lu Nanfeng coughed up blood.

Lu Ning couldn't bear to watch any longer and handed over a tissue.

Lu Nanfeng showed a relieved expression: "I knew Ningning still cares about me, her second brother."

Lu Ning turned her head to look out the window, feeling utterly ironic.

She once desperately wanted to get her brothers' attention, to be seen, and to be recognized.

She gave everything in her past life, but received nothing in return.

She didn't care about any of these things in this life, but her second brother started pestering her instead.

Humans are just like that, prone to self-destruction.

After the vehicle arrived at the hospital, Lu Nanfeng was taken inside for examination.

Lu Ning was about to leave when the doctor stopped her: "You're the patient's family member, right? You should persuade Mr. Lu that his stomach problems require continuous medication, otherwise they could worsen into stomach cancer."

Lu Ning's expression was indifferent: "He doesn't even care about his health, so who can make decisions for him?"

"Lu Ning, are you even speaking human language? Second Brother's health is in this state, isn't it all for our sake?"

Lu Liu and Qin Xiang rushed over.

Lu Ning threw the medical record directly into Lu Liu's arms: "You're just spouting moral blackmail? You're so filial, how come you didn't even know your second brother was so sick? What kind of younger brother are you? You're with him every day, yet you didn't notice his condition getting worse?"

Lu Liu was speechless after being rebuked: "That's because I wasn't paying attention."

"What a convenient excuse! Instead of making excuses, you should persuade your second brother to see a doctor and take his medicine."

After arguing with the person, Lu Ning left the hospital immediately.

Lu Liu felt a pang of pain in his chest: "Lu Ning is getting more and more capable these days."

Qin Xiang was also holding her breath: "Sixth Brother, Sister Ningning is a popular streamer on Douxia now. She's so good at games, she must have some talent."

"Hmph, no matter how confident she is, she's still a member of the Lu family. Don't worry, I have the contract signed by Lu Ning. If she pushes me too far, I'll make sure she never gets ahead in her life."

Qin Xiang's eyes lit up: "What kind of contract is it?"

So they still have something on Lu Ning?

"Sixth brother, where's Ningning?"

When Lu Nanfeng finished his examination, he didn't see Lu Ning and his eyes immediately showed some disappointment.

"Second brother, that ungrateful wretch just left. Why are you asking her about her?"

Qin Xiang walked over: "Second Brother, are you alright? I was so worried about you. Why didn't you tell us that your stomach condition had worsened?"

"No big deal."

Lu Nanfeng's eyes betrayed his disappointment. He had thought Lu Ning would stay, but she had left after all.

Seeing Lu Nanfeng's disappointed expression, Qin Xiang felt a sense of crisis.

Despite all the efforts she's made during this time, Lu Nanfeng still cares deeply about Lu Ning.

At this moment, Lu Nanfeng's secretary rushed over: "Boss, the partner is asking to terminate the cooperation, saying that there is a problem with the software firewall we designed."

Qin Xiang said, "Then we should find a technician to solve this as soon as possible."

"The problem remained unresolved, which is why the other party requested to terminate the cooperation."

Lu Nanfeng smiled wryly and said, "Ningning was in charge of that firewall part."

He couldn't bring himself to ask Lu Ning for the question, which is why he kept putting it off.

Lu Liu snorted coldly: "I just don't believe that this problem can't be solved without Lu Ning. Second Brother, you can rest assured and leave it to me."

Qin Xiang felt a pang of jealousy, and she deliberately said, "Second brother, if only I knew how, I would definitely solve this problem for you."

Lu Nanfeng sighed: "It was only after Ningning left that I realized how important she was."

Qin Xiang's expression was almost too embarrassed to remain composed.

And what about her? What is she?
