In her previous life, Yan Qixun’s father was a high-ranking officer in the military. The uncle that raised her was at the top of the global rich list all year round, and she was a peerless genius that did not lack power and status.
Yan Qixun had everything she could have wanted. Even the royal princesses did not live as luxuriously as she did. As for spirituality, she had that as well. One would think that a genius scientist who spent most of her life in the ocean of knowledge would lack spirituality.
Her mother’s death left no impression on her as she was very young when she passed away. Her father’s sacrifice was the most painful part of her past life. That period was indeed difficult for her father to endure. The despair of missing someone he would never see again was too much. It was difficult for most people to understand. Besides, Yan Qixun did not know how to comfort her father.
After thinking for a while, she could only imitate Yan Lingsu’s previous actions and patted Yan Lingyu’s head. Yan Qixun said monotonously, “It was just a dream. Even if it was true, it’s all in the past now. People should live in the present. Our family may be poor for now, but I believe that we will be able to live well in the future.”
Yan Lingyu felt the warmth of Yan Qixun’s palm on her head, and her eyes suddenly turned red. “Okay, I understand.”
Seeing her react that way, Yan Qixun suspected that her sister had probably awakened the memories of her past life, just as she had. Otherwise, it would just be a dream, and she wouldn’t be so immersed in her thoughts.
However, Yan Qixun was not curious about other people’s past. She was more interested in her sister, Yan Lingyu, because she might have also awakened the memories of her own past life. Yan Qixun thought that it would have been fine if it was just her, but the fact that the two of them could awaken the memories of their past lives was even more bizarre. Was it because they were twins?
She was a person who wanted to understand the root of a problem whenever she encountered something as bizarre as this. She could not help but investigate. She did not care about her own sister’s sadness as she sat up in high spirits.
Her eyes shone as she looked at Yan Lingyu and started asking a whole slew of questions, “So tell me, when did you have that dream? What was the situation like in your dream? What did it feel like when you woke up? Can you remember the reason for that dream? Was it something you touched before you went to sleep, or were you thinking about something before you went to sleep?”
It was a strange moment for Yan Qixun when she awoke the memories of her past life. She couldn’t find the cause of it even after thinking about it for so long. But Yan Lingyu had also awakened the memories of her past life. Perhaps Yan Qixun could get her answer from her sister.
She believed that if she traced back to the source, everything that had happened could have an explanation. Although awakening the memories of a past life did not make sense scientifically, she had always thought that theology was the end for science. But theology could also be explained and verified with science in the end.
Yan Lingyu was left speechless when she saw her sister behaving this way. The resentment in Yan Lingyu’s heart grew due to the experience she had in her previous life. However, when Yan Lingyu awoke her memories of her past life, she did not dare tell her sister about it, even her twin sister.
Looking into Yan Qixun’s glinting eyes, Yan Lingyu glanced at her and faintly said, “The house was engulfed in such a big fire last night. I was scared to death. What else could I be thinking of? It was only a dream.”
After thinking about it, Yan Lingyu felt that it was unnecessary to explain the sadness in her eyes. She then said, “I’m just worried about our family. There is barely anything left for us since the fire. How are we going to live in the future?”
Yan Qixun looked at her beautiful sister, who looked like a porcelain doll. Before the fire, although their family was not very wealthy, they did not have to worry about food, water, and necessities. She then looked at the three ruined thatched cottages in her house and discreetly shook her head. She understood why Yan Lingyu’s eyes were red. The fire had destroyed their house, and it was not a decent place for her beautiful sister to live in. The destroyed house was a disgrace.
‘No, I have to become rich. How hard could it be to earn money?’ Yan Qixun thought to herself.
With such a high IQ, how could she not earn money? As for their family’s social status, her father was in a good position, and her two brothers were also brilliant. They would be able to get an official government position easily.
Even if it wasn’t for them, Yan Qixun used to be an academician, and she could quickly become rich and live a comfortable life. She then gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Suddenly, Yan Qixun was motivated and would give everything to provide for the family. Today was the day that she would plan ways to reach the peak of her life and give her family the comfortable life they deserve. At that moment, she had completely forgotten that it was all a so-called dream.
Yan Lingyu noticed that she was standing on her own, then she looked around the house for her sister. She then gritted her teeth and felt a chill in her heart. “Sister, what’s the matter?”
“Huh?” Yan Qixun came back to her senses, and her tone was extremely gentle. “It’s okay. Don’t be sad. Don’t be afraid. Your sister and I are here for you. We won’t let you starve and freeze. It’s just silver that we need to worry about, right? It’s easy to earn silver. If money can solve our problems, it’s not a big deal. I will think of a way to earn silver later.”
Yan Lingyu was silent. They were both sisters, and they had shared their mother’s womb for ten months. They knew each other very well.
‘With your hard-hearted appearance, how would you earn money? I don’t see it to be possible.’ Yan Lingyu thought to herself.
Yan Lingyu rolled her eyes and sarcastically said, “How did I not know that you can earn silver? Yan Qixun, if you have the potential, why didn’t you go and earn some silver for Father when he didn’t have enough for the Imperial Exams earlier?”
“Ah?” Yan Qixun felt that she might have gotten a little overzealous. She was over her head and forgot that she wasn’t the magnificent person she was in her past life.
‘This is too difficult.’ Yan Qixun sighed.
‘I am being too overzealous. I have no choice but to hide my past identity. This life is difficult. Nothing is more difficult than this.’ She could not tell her twin sister that she was a beautiful woman with an IQ of 210 in her past life.
‘But earning money shouldn’t be a problem, right?’
If her sister, who had been with her since birth, said she could recall memories from her past life and said she was a brilliant scientist with a high IQ, would she believe her? Her sister would think that she had gone insane.
Yan Qixun tried her best to save her dignity and said with a straight face, “I didn’t realize how overzealous I was at that moment.”
Yan Lingyu remained silent. She felt that the moment was a little bizarre. No matter what she thought about it, she felt that it was unusual for her twin sister to have such a boost of confidence all of a sudden.
In the beginning, Yan Lingyu was still in disbelief because she started remembering events in her past life. After being questioned by her twin sister, Lingyu felt that the events of her past life were no longer an issue. With such a troubled sister like Yan Qixun, how would she still have time to grieve her past life? She would probably die very soon from worrying about Yan Qixun.
Besides, the events of her past life were already over. When she saw her unreliable sister having a burst of motivation, this scene inexplicable healed Yan Lingyu’s heavy heart. She didn’t want to think about her tragic death in her past life anymore. The most important thing now was to live well in this life.
Looking at her twin sister’s serious and illogical face, Yan Lingyu rolled her eyes. “Alright, I want to hear you repeat those words to Mother later.”
“Do you not trust me?” Yan Qixun asked.
It was not because she was arrogant. In the past, her uncle always said that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, but Yan Qixun disagreed with him. She just knew her strengths and was always honest.
Yan Qixun sighed again. It was hard enough to be an honest person. Now it’s even harder to be an honest person that people could believe in.
Yan Qixun struggled to ask, “You don’t believe that I would be able to earn money?”
Yan Lingyu glanced at her sister and shook her head. “Nah, I don’t see it.”
The two sisters looked at each other speechlessly..
