Chapter 56 I'm just a jerk!
"I'm sorry for troubling you before and asking you to do so many things for me, but it's not necessary now, because it's all over."
Cheng Shuyan laid everything out: "My life is you, and I'm willing to do anything for you."
Yunzhi shook her head.
“Brother, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m fine. After Tongtong’s burial, everything will be over, and I will start a new life.”
She will leave this place and disappear from everyone's memory.
Like a gentle breeze, it once visited, but never stayed.
"You will always be my brother's elder brother, the person I respect most."
She looked at Cheng Shuyan with tender eyes.
There was respect, gratitude, and guilt, but not the love that Cheng Shuyan most wanted to see.
Because all of this was within Cheng Shuyan's own eyes.
From beginning to end, he always stayed by Yunzhi's side as her elder brother, but he didn't want that to be what he wanted.
But I am not!
Cheng Shuyan growled.
This was the first time Yunzhi had seen Cheng Shuyan lose control of his emotions in front of her. She knew something was wrong and took two steps back.
Cheng Shuyan looked at Yunzhi with an expression of immense pain: "We are not related by blood, you know perfectly well that I have been..."
"I love Ye Chengyan! I can't accept anyone else but him."
But Yunzhi mustered all her strength to speak, interrupting him.
Her chest heaved violently, and Yunzhi felt as if her body were a broken bellows, making a whooshing sound as it was pumped in and out.
Cheng Shuyan's pupils contracted.
He could hardly believe what his ears were hearing.
"How could this be? He hurt you like this, how could you forgive him!"
She was definitely saying it out of anger.
Cheng Shuyan wanted to get closer to Yunzhi and take her hand, but Yunzhi dodged him as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I'm just shameless, is that so wrong? As long as Ye Chengyan beckons, I'll go back to his side."
Yunzhi's eyes were filled with tears, blurring her vision.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with feigned smugness.
"Didn't you ask me where I've been these past few days and why you couldn't reach me? It's because I went to see Ye Chengyan. I've been by his side these past few days."
Yunzhi paused.
Looking at Cheng Shuyan's face, she felt her heart break.
He was the only person in the world who was good to him, yet she selfishly and cruelly brought him endless suffering.
"We've made up."
She kept repeating that sentence, as if she were brainwashing herself.
“We’ve made up, Cheng Shuyan.”
"You lied to me." Cheng Shuyan clenched her teeth, the veins on her neck bulging.
"Zhizhi, you're lying to me. You never dare to look people in the eye when you talk."
He took a deep breath, certain that Yunzhi was lying to him.
However, Yunzhi then stubbornly stared into his eyes. She approached step by step, and with each step, it was as if a knife was slowly cutting Cheng Shuyan to death.
No, don't do that.
He rejected it in his heart.
"Cheng Shuyan, Ye Chengyan and I have reconciled. I will return to his side, and our family will be happy together again."
Yunzhi forced herself to force a happy smile onto her face.
But now it looks extremely embarrassing.
They are also doing ugly things that hurt others.
Cheng Shuyan's eyes were red, and his pupils were trembling violently. This time, he turned his head away as if to escape.
He even ignored Yunzhi's words and changed the subject.
"You should come with me to bury Tongtong. She would definitely want you by her side."
Yunzhi's voice turned cold.
"There's no need. Since you're unwilling to help me, I'll go myself."
Cheng Shuyan grabbed her wrist, so tightly that he almost broke Yunzhi's bones.
“Let’s pretend nothing happened, that I didn’t hear anything, and that I’m still your brother, your elder brother, okay?”
As long as I can stay by his side, anything is fine.
“Cheng Shuyan…” Yunzhi looked at Cheng Shuyan in disbelief. His palms were burning hot, and the heat spread through Yunzhi’s blood to her limbs and bones, making her feel as if she were trapped on a branding iron.
What is it about me that makes Cheng Shuyan so willing to go to such lengths for me?
Looking at her wrist being held, Yunzhi knew she should say many resolute words and push Cheng Shuyan away completely.
But looking into his eyes, which were once gentle but now filled with sadness and pain because of her, Yunzhi couldn't bring herself to say those terrible words.
"Please, don't do this."
Yunzhi's lips trembled.
In front of Cheng Shuyan, she always had tears of resentment.
This person, who was detached from her mission and suddenly barged into her life, was like sunshine.
But I can only live in the shadows.
"Please, let me go."
“No.” Cheng Shuyan’s eyes were firm. “This is my choice, and it has nothing to do with you.”
He paused.
"Just like you have your own choices, and no one can interfere."
Even if Yunzhi really forgives Ye Chengyan and gets back together with him, so what?
But Cheng Shuyan still wanted to believe that Yunzhi's words were all due to Ye Chengyan's threats.
Yunzhi values relationships highly, and perhaps Ye Chengyan is using the child to threaten her.
I will soon expose his true colors.
“I’m an adult. I don’t need your care anymore. You should look forward and have your own life.” Yunzhi pursed her lips. “Like that girl just now, I think you two are a good match.”
Yunzhi's voice was very soft.
After the intense emotions subsided like a receding tide, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she couldn't breathe.
She licked her slightly dry lips, feeling a little dizzy.
"What do you mean by 'well-matched'?" Upon hearing Yunzhi's words, Cheng Shuyan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained, "You misunderstood, that person just now was..."
However, before Cheng Shuyan could finish speaking, Yunzhi fainted.
Cheng Shuyan quickly pulled her into his arms: "Zhizhi! Zhizhi!"
When he reached out and touched her, he found that Yunzhi's body was burning hot.
Cheng Shuyan quickly picked Yunzhi up and carried her to the hospital.
However, after a series of examinations, Cheng Shuyan received news that shocked him greatly.
"What did you say?"
Cheng Shuyan's pupils contracted as he looked at the report in his hand.
The doctor's expression was also very serious: "The patient's cancer cells have spread throughout her body. She has late-stage bone cancer, and she doesn't even have much time left to live."
"Impossible!" Cheng Shuyan immediately retorted, "How could it be late-stage bone cancer!"
Obviously before...
The doctor handed a stack of forms to Cheng Shuyan: "This is the patient's medical examination report. There are no problems with any of the data on it."
Cheng Shuyan quickly flipped through the pages, and each value made his heart sink to the bottom.
He had no idea that Yunzhi's illness was so serious!
But... this has only been less than ten days.
