C2 Rebirth!

"Yao, Yao... please don't scare your brother..." Qin Yuxiao's breath was heavy with tension as he moved forward, each step feeling as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

A group of kids noticed him coming and wisely decided to scatter, disappearing from sight.

Suddenly, the little girl lying on the ground gave a slight twitch in her chest and let out a soft, painful cough.

"Yao!" Qin Yuxiao's eyes lit up, his beautiful dark eyes shimmering with a gentle light. He quickly scooped the little girl into his arms, his gaze full of tenderness. "Yao, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

With that, he hurriedly carried her away from there.

Pain surged through her nerves, and a flood of unfamiliar images flashed through her mind, forcing her to absorb all the information as a cacophony of languages echoed around her.

Worthless, worthless, worthless!

Suddenly, she opened her eyes to see an unfamiliar white curtain above her. Still disoriented, she shifted her gaze.

"Yao, you're awake. Thank goodness you're okay!" Qin Yuxiao's voice was choked with emotion as he held her hand, sharing his unique warmth.

Isn't this the handsome man from her memories? Yet here he was, right in front of her.

Yao... Yao...

The gentle, caring voice that echoed in her memory was coming from him. He called her Yao, so she must be...

Qin Luoyao tried to piece it all together, memories from two lifetimes overlapping, making it hard to distinguish one from the other.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry," Qin Luoyao said, her voice a bit hoarse and rough.

"Yao, I'm sorry you had to go through this," Qin Yuxiao said, gently touching her gaunt cheek, feeling the sharpness of her bones beneath his fingers. His eyes misted over, pained by his inability to protect her better.

Qin Luoyao paused, lifting her eyes to see the moisture in Qin Yuxiao's gaze, surprised by the sight. What could make a man cry? They say men don't shed tears easily, so what was this in his eyes?

"Brother," Qin Luoyao murmured, her lips pressed together, her expression complex. She grasped Qin Yuxiao's large hand, conveying a sense of unwavering strength. "Brother, it's my fault."

Because she was seen as worthless, Qin Yuxiao also endured the disdain of everyone in town. Her reputation as useless had spread far and wide, and the brother who cherished and loved her faced the world's scorn alongside her. It was all because of her. Qin Yuxiao stood by her, the outcast, never abandoning her.

With the memories of the body's original owner, her past life seemed like a dream, while the emotions and feelings of the original owner felt real. Qin Luoyao looked at her caring brother, feeling the intoxicating warmth—pure and untainted—that she deeply cherished.

"Yao, let's leave this place," Qin Yuxiao said, taking a deep breath, though his eyes dimmed slightly.

Leave? Qin Luoyao thought back. Since she could remember, she had lived in this small town, her memories filled with scenes of being bullied by other kids and mocked by the townsfolk, with Qin Yuxiao always protecting her, just like this time, when Qin Luoyao had died.

When Qin Luoyao died, the version of her from another time and space also perished. Due to some special reason, she ended up here, sharing the same name—a twist of fate, perhaps.

Since Qin Luoyao had died, she took her place, continuing life in a new body, inheriting everything that was Qin Luoyao's. She was determined to reclaim what was rightfully hers. Worthless? Who was worthless? If she was considered worthless, then the rest of the world must be the most worthless of all!
