Chapter 409 If the person in front of him isn't his sister, then where is she?
Xie Xing was stunned.
Touched, her eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, brother."
For Xie Xing, whether it was the original owner or herself, she should have focused all her energy on the Song family. Xie Xing owed the Song family far too much.
In their previous life, the entire Song family died because of Xie Xing.
In this life, everyone in the Song family is thinking of Xie Xing. Whether it's the eldest brother, the second brother, or the third brother, everyone's goal in climbing up the social ladder is to bring glory to their sister.
Xie Xing was the only one in the Song family who loved her.
If possible, Xie Xing should stay with the Song family to take care of the Song family elders in their old age.
What should I do after I complete the mission and leave?
Xie Xing realized what was happening and suddenly asked the system.
After all, she couldn't stay in this world forever, but for the people of this world, she truly existed.
That would be far too cruel for the people here.
The system said: "[Logically speaking, after you complete the mission, the original owner should take over this body again.]"
[This is a reward based on your completion of the mission. You used the original owner's body, so the two of you are essentially interdependent. Before you arrived, the original owner was already dead.]
[Your arrival allowed this body to survive; the original owner sacrificed their own soul to bring you here.]
If the mission is completed, you will not only save yourself, but also the original owner of this body.
Xie Xing was shocked.
She reached out and covered her chest.
No wonder she always felt that the emotions expressed by this body were not hers; they were the original owner's feelings.
"If you fail your mission, don't worry," the system continued. "You will live in this world as the original owner until you die again."
Xie Xing was stunned.
She asked, "So, if I complete my mission, you will resurrect me and the original owner of this body, and the original owner will continue to live in this body, while also inheriting all the mess I left behind after leaving this world?"
"Yes." The system's voice was mechanical and cold, utterly rational: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Although we used the original owner's body to complete the mission, the original owner died in an accident. In a true sense, she should have been dead."
[After you completed your mission, she was given a chance to live. Therefore, all the trouble you left behind is the corresponding price she will pay after her resurrection.]
[Host, you must understand, you are not possessing someone else's body. You don't owe her anything; in a true sense, she owes you.]
Therefore, you must leave this world without any attachment and return to your original world, while she gets a second chance to live. It's a win-win situation.
Xie Xing's heart was pounding.
Her mission saved two lives.
Hearing these thoughts, Song Qingyang was shaken to his core.
He clenched his sleeves tightly, his eyes filled with undisguised shock and astonishment as he looked at Xie Xing.
How could Song Qingyang not have noticed that his younger sister, whom he had raised since childhood, had changed?
He simply assumed that his sister's changes were all due to entering that damned Xie family, and he dared not think about the rest.
Hearing Xie Xing and the system say this, Song Qingyang felt a little dazed.
The Xie Xing he knows now is not the younger sister he raised from childhood.
His real sister is dead; her body is still the same, but her soul has been replaced by someone else.
The person in this body is not his sister.
Where did his sister's soul go?
died?
Song Qingyang staggered and almost fell.
When exactly did this happen, and why didn't he know?
Song Qingyang's Adam's apple bobbed as his gaze fell on Xie Xing again. The Xie Xing in front of him looked troubled, her pretty face full of obedience and liveliness, and her eyes still held the shock of having just learned the news from the system.
Her eyes were so clear that even without mind-reading, one could see her true thoughts.
Yes.
He should have realized long ago that Xie Xing was not the same Xie Xing who was his willful, capricious, and passionate sister.
They spoiled Xie Xing rotten, raising her like a young lady from a wealthy family even in the village.
Xie Xing, being the kind of person who could never tolerate the slightest grievance, was never one to suffer the slightest injustice.
How could it be this little sister in front of me?
But can he blame the stranger who took over his sister's body?
No.
Although she occupied Xie Xing's body, what she did was to revive Xie Xing, and she didn't do anything to wrong Xie Xing in the slightest.
"Big brother?" Xie Xing seemed to notice Song Qingyang's distraction, looked up and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, big brother? You look like you're not feeling well."
Song Qingyang managed a weak smile, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine. I... I just feel sorry for you."
As he spoke, tears welled in his eyes, and he looked at Xie Xing with pain and sorrow: "Big brother wants to know just how much injustice you have suffered."
"You suffered."
Song Qingyang restrained himself and pulled Xie Xing into his arms.
Of course, the two of them were a distance apart. He gently rested Xie Xing's head against his chest, and released Xie Xing after only three seconds.
When he released Xie Xing again, his eyes had changed.
Song Qingyang wiped away his tears and said, "You should wait for your elder brother for a while longer. Once he has real power, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
After saying that, Song Qingyang patted Xie Xing's head and said gently, "You are in the palace and are the Fifth Princess's study companion. Go back early."
Xie Xing nodded obediently.
She turned around, walked a few steps away, then turned back to Song Qingyang and said, "Brother, it's inconvenient for me to see Father and Mother while I'm in the palace. Please give them my regards."
Song Qingyang gently smiled and said softly, "I will tell my parents."
Xie Xing was relieved and turned to leave.
After Xie Xing left, Song Qingyang finally put down her raised arms.
He gazed intently at Xie Xing's retreating figure, then slowly released his grip on his left sleeve, which was now wrinkled and crumpled from his intense clenching.
After a long pause, Song Qingyang slowly spoke up, "Luo Hanfeng, is that right?"
"Ah."
He sneered and turned away.
Whether it's the so-called Xie Xing described in the book or the Xie Xing of today, they are both his sister. Even if his real sister can't return to his body now, as long as Xie Xing completes the mission, his sister will definitely come back.
Furthermore, Xie Xing has known Song Qingyang for so long as his sister, and in her heart, Xie Xing is already his sister.
No matter what, he will not let Luo Hanfeng go!
