have any relationship, so don't keep following me.""Alright, young master, don't frown. Smile more, your smile is particularly handsome." Menglan took the opportunity to reach out and gently lifted hi...When they turn eighteen, teenagers often do things that are beyond the ordinary.

There's always a group of hoodlums hanging out at the school gates. Every time they see a pretty girl, they whistle and ask for her WeChat contact information.

Menglan was pretty and more developed than other female students, so she soon started hanging out with local hoodlums.

This gang's leader, Xiao Wu, fell head over heels for Meng Lan at first sight. He would often wait for her on the way home from school, giving her roses and snacks, and even had his men call her "Sister-in-law!"

Menglan didn't have any feelings for Xiaowu, but she enjoyed the feeling of being loved.

Spending all day with him, she even learned to skip class, smoke, and fight. At that time, the first thing she would say when speaking to people was, "Grass!"

Back then, I thought swearing was so cool.

One time during nap time, the homeroom teacher was walking beside her when she heard Menglan shout loudly in her sleep.

"Damn, I'm not studying anymore, what a load of crap school!"

At that time, the students were reciting from their textbooks in the classroom. Upon hearing her words, they all fell silent for a moment.

And the homeroom teacher's face was extremely ugly.

As expected, Menglan got called to the principal's office. It was Menglan's first time being scolded by her normally kind father, a good thrashing:

"Liu Xinrui, how did you become like this You don't even look like a student anymore!"

Menglan, in her prime, retorted defiantly, "You don't understand, this is called trend!"

"Trend I think you're asking to be beaten!" Liu Changming flew into a rage, pointing at her nose and snarling, "I warn you, you better take off all that makeup right now and don't go out embarrassing me! Otherwise, I won't have a daughter like you!"

The word "shameful" from her father's mouth deeply wounded Menglan's pride.

She flared up, "Who wants to be your daughter You don't have a say in my life. I make my own decisions!"

"Well done, you think you can fly before your wings are hard Let me show you just how much say you have!" Liu Changming was utterly enraged. He called his bodyguard over and had Menglan knelt on the ground. Holding a whip in hand, he began to lash out at him.

My father has a very stubborn disposition. Once he makes a decision, it's very difficult to change his mind.

Menglan had been whipped several times, her body covered in bloody wounds. She endured the pain and left home.

She hid by a small stream not far from home. At night, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. She was afraid of the dark, and any rustle or movement would make her scream in fright.

But she was too stubborn to go home.

Just when she was at her most helpless, the grass in the bushes was slowly lifted, and her younger brother crept up with a first-aid kit, excitedly calling out to her,

"Sis, sis, I'm here!"

Menglan saw him, as if she had seen a savior, her eyes shining. But after a while, she turned her head away, "Hmph, who asked you to come I'm definitely not going home."

The younger brother sat beside her, opened the medicine box, and took out some gauze and a few bottles of medicine. “Here you go, don’t worry, I snuck out to find you. Mom and Dad don’t know. You got such a bad injury, it must hurt a lot, right Let me put some medicine on it for you.”

Hearing his words, Menglan asked half-believingly, “Can you apply medicine”

"Don't underestimate me, if you don't believe it, just lie down and try!" Liu Liang snorted.

At midnight, stars twinkled brightly, the stream gurgled softly, and cicadas chirped incessantly.

Liu Liang carefully raised his hand and applied medicine to her wound. The medicine was painful when it touched her skin, but she gritted her teeth and endured the pain without making a sound.

But Liu Liang felt sorry for her, his voice gradually choked with emotion, "Sister, you must be in pain, it's all my fault that I'm too young to protect you. When I grow up, I won't allow anyone to bully you, not even Dad."

Meng Lan listened to his words, her heart warmed, but she stubbornly said, "I don't believe you. When you have a wife in the future, by then, you definitely won't remember me!"

"No way, sis, I'll always be on your side." Liu Liang looked serious and spoke with determination. "When I can earn money myself, I'll take you to the North Pole to see the aurora borealis, sis. You know the aurora borealis, right It's super beautiful..."

Menglan, unusually quiet, put on her clothes and leaned against Liu Liang's shoulder, earnestly listening as her younger brother told her for an hour about the aurora borealis in the Arctic.

From this young man's eyes, she saw longing and ambition...

She always felt that Liu Liang had more ideals and a clearer life goal than she did.

He was still so warm and sunny, perfect in every way.

……

"Ah!" Menglan cried out in alarm. She didn't know why, but she felt as if she had been thrown into a furnace, her entire body covered in sweat.

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead.

She escaped from one dream, only to tumble messily into another. She watched in horror as Liu Liang transformed into a white-haired, wizened old man.

He was barefoot, leaning on a cane, his back not as straight as it used to be. His hair was completely white, but his face still held the youthful look of his younger days. The corner of his eye curved up in a smile as he looked at her with warmth and amusement.

"Sister," he whispered, calling out to Menglan.

Dream Orchid hurriedly turned her head. She saw her younger brother standing high above, the path ahead covered with countless sunflowers, clouds drifting by, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

She froze, then panicked and called out to him, "Liangliang, what are you doing standing so high"

"Sister, you're such a bad-tempered and stubborn old woman. I wouldn't even trust you to take care of yourself out in the world."

Liu Liang smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling. She hadn't seen her younger brother smile so healthily in a long time.

Menglan momentarily had her eyes widen, a smile unconsciously forming at the corner of her lips.

At this moment, Liu Liang looked at her seriously, a warm smile spread across his face. “Sister, it’s time for me to leave. Thank you for taking care of me all these years. From now on, you don’t have to work so hard to earn money and treat my illnesses anymore.”

"By the way, I saw Mom, she's coming to pick me up. I'll be so happy."

"Sister, live well. Remember to live your life the way you like it, in a way that makes you happy. And please protect my niece. After I'm gone, she'll be all you have left."

"Sis, if you have time, remember to go check out the aurora borealis in the North Pole for me..."

"No...don't, Liangliang, don't scare your elder sister, where are you going" In the blink of an eye, Menglan was in tears, her face streaming with them. She crawled towards Liu Liang step by step.

She struggled to crawl to Liu Liang's side, but she was so weak that every bone in her body ached. She stumbled and fell, but ultimately... she still couldn't reach Liu Liang's side.

"Ah!" Her chest tightened, she couldn't breathe, and let out a hysterical cry!
