Chapter 1917 - 1916: Four Out of Five

All his thoughts are delusions.

After Rao Linger struggled and finally decided not to confess to Tang Rao anymore, Tang Rao shamelessly found Rao Linger again and told her he wanted to be with her?

Tang Rao got everything good and bad, doing whatever he wanted. Whether or not to be with Rao Linger was Tang Rao's choice, and now whether to be with Tang Rao was Rao Linger's choice. They didn't affect each other, and Rao Linger also had the right to say no, right?

"Yes, he knows that his previous words offended you, and you won't forgive him, probably not even wanting to look at him. Please, for my sake as your sister, forgive him and give him a chance to talk things over with him. What do you think?"

"Sister Qing Er, I think it's better to forget about it."

Rao Linger's answer wasn't surprising. As a girl who wanted dignity, her first reaction would be grievance, and her second reaction would likely be rejection.

When Rao Linger liked Tang Rao, Tang Rao didn't take her seriously, and she felt aggrieved; when Tang Rao wanted to be with her, Rao Linger couldn't think of a reason to agree.

Because agreeing would make her feel her dignity was trampled again, as he didn't take Rao Linger's feelings seriously.

"Ling Er, Tang Rao needs you."

Since Rao Linger didn't agree, Tang Qingqing stopped speaking indirectly. She vaguely described Tang Rao's situation but didn't dare speak too openly out of fear that Rao Linger couldn't keep a secret.

"So Tang Rao asked you to plead, just to use me?"

After so long, Tang Rao asked Tang Qingqing to plead for him, using her lifelong happiness to save someone?

No way, Rao Linger wasn't foolish enough to let others trample on her when they didn't like her.

"Ling Er, I admit coming to persuade you today was indeed presumptuous, but the person we need to save is too important to Tang Rao, to you, and to me. If I say saving this person is your mission from a previous life, you definitely won't believe me, but I'm telling the truth. If you want to know whether my words are true, I can restore the memories from your previous life, and we can talk properly after they are restored. How does that sound?"

Tang Qingqing had previously mentioned restoring Rao Linger's memories, with the primary condition being her voluntary acceptance. Otherwise, if the memory restoration failed, Rao Linger wouldn't get what she wanted, and the stored memories would dissipate into thin air.

"Okay."

Rao Linger didn't agree to be with Tang Rao but agreed to accept the memories, as they were precious assets from her past life, possibly containing beautiful memories.

The memory recovery didn't take long. Ever since Wang Han's example, Tang Qingqing got adept at handling these matters.

Rao Linger slowly opened her tightly closed eyes and, upon seeing Tang Qingqing again, her first words were 'Greetings, my lady.'

As a servant of the Tang Family and one of Fang Fang's personal maids, they had frequent interactions with Tang Qingqing, developing a deeper bond than with others.

"You remembered?"

Before sending the memories back, Tang Qingqing didn't know who the former life was. When Rao Linger greeted her, Tang Qingqing was finally sure that the person in front of her had truly remembered everything from before.

"I remembered, Lingzhi thanks the lady."

Rao Linger is Lingzhi?

Their names in this life and the past are interconnected; Wang Han is Han Bing, Chen Jingyi is Qin Se, Rao Linger is Lingzhi, Bei Lin remains unchanged, and the one left at South Island might be Nan Man?

"My lady, is the ladyship doing well now?"

Rao Linger's biggest concern was the ladyship. Since she was locked away, all five of them fell into reincarnation, each going their own way. Rao Linger never imagined her past life's memories could return, her sisters reconcile, and the person she liked in her previous life would confess to her in this life. All those unexpected things have now surfaced.

"I truly wasn't lying; the ladyship needs you, both I and the Young Master need you."

Rao Linger no longer had feelings for Tang Rao; instead, it was replaced by the identity of Young Master Tang Rao.

If Tang Rao needed her, she might hesitate a bit, but if the Young Master needs her, she'll go through fire and water to help.

This difference in identity also results in vastly different consequences.

"Alright, I agree with the lady and Young Master."

Rao Linger suddenly remembered the sisters she had not seen yet and asked Tang Qingqing, "My lady, where are Qin Se and the others now? Has their whereabouts been found?"

The fact she could think of others at least proved they held a certain position in her heart. To reassure Rao Linger, she told her where Chen Jingyi and the others were and how they were doing. Hearing that four of them were together now, Rao Linger was nearly ecstatic.

"That's wonderful, finding four people means the last one shouldn't be a problem. Tang Rao always has good fortune; I believe with Tang Rao involved, there will soon be good news from that side."

Unfortunately, after finding her sisters, they all became women around Tang Rao, and Tang Rao treated them well, while Rao Linger and Tang Rao faced the most difficulties.

"So now, do you want to see the Young Master?"

Realizing her different identity, when invited by Tang Qingqing to visit Tang Rao, Rao Linger, unlike before, readily and delightedly agreed, wanting to see the Young Master and apologize to him. She shouldn't have refused when the Young Master made his request; doing so was wrong.

"I want to go."

Since Rao Linger was willing to go, Tang Qingqing naturally informed Tang Rao through Illusion City that Rao Linger was about to visit him.

As Tang Rao's biological sister, the illustrious God of Dream, her skills and abilities surpassed Rao Linger's. When Tang Qingqing delivered the message, due to her swiftness, Tang Rao gathered the other three sisters to meet Rao Linger together.

"Sister Qin Se, Sister Qin Se, still the same with no change at all?"

Rao Linger entered and saw Qin Se, realizing Qin Se, who turned out to be Chen Jingyi — the same Chen Jingyi who took her in at Qin Qing's house.

And saying she hadn't changed meant her personality.

Chen Jingyi was still as gentle as before, believing in people not harming her unless she harmed them, committing to peaceful coexistence as the highest form of interaction.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Rao Linger stay there that night if it were someone else.

"It's a blessing to see each other again; I thought we wouldn't see each other in a lifetime."

Chen Jingyi sighed.
