Bai Wanxi’s heart ached upon thinking that this was the room where she had lived with Baili Yu.
Bai Wanxi’s eyes turned red. She didn’t have the courage to enter this room, so she turned around to leave.
However, Bai Jiao’er seemed to have expected that she wouldn’t have a good rest. She was waiting for her by the side. Seeing that Bai Wanxi was about to leave, she stepped forward. “Sister, don’t go.”
Bai Jiao’er’s words stopped Bai Wanxi in her tracks. She turned around and looked at her with a poignant smile. “Jiaojiao, it’s already so late. Why aren’t you back in your room resting?”
Bai Jiao’er looked at the sad smile on Bai Wanxi’s lips and felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. She quickly ran over and hugged her tightly. She used so much strength that it was as if she wanted to meld her into her bones. “Sister, stop forcing yourself to smile! Do you know how painful it is for me to see you like this? I would rather you cry and be hysterical than see you suffer like this. Sister, cry. Perhaps you’ll feel better after doing so.”
Baili Yu had disappeared for so many days. He was probably doomed.
Everyone knew this, but who could bear to tell her such a cruel truth after looking at the dejected Bai Wanxi?
No one said anything. Bai Wanxi kept telling herself that Baili Yu was actually fine and that he might return.
However, Bai Jiao’er couldn’t take it anymore. She felt that her sister had become a delusional lunatic.
Bai Wanxi was unwilling to admit the truth and kept avoiding it.
Bai Jiao’er didn’t want to watch Bai Wanxi continue to deceive herself. She would rather see her cry. This would at least prove that Bai Wanxi accepted the pain and was not completely numb.
Bai Wanxi felt Bai Jiao’er’s hug and heard her pleas. She said faintly after hesitating for a long time, “Jiaojiao, I won’t cry before I see his corpse. You know, I really regret it. I knew he was an ordinary person. I knew that he might be in danger because of me one day, but I couldn’t help loving him and being with him. Jiaojiao, I’m a selfish person. If he dies, it will be because he loves me.”
“No, it’s not like that!” Bai Jiao’er’s tears rolled down like pearls with a broken string. Her eyes were filled with pain as she said firmly, “Sister, you didn’t do anything wrong. Brother-in-law didn’t do anything wrong, either! The two of you are victims! Who dares say that you’re in the wrong? Sister, the person in the wrong is She Qi, it’s him! He was the one who insisted on pestering you!”
Bai Wanxi’s eyes were cold and her heart was dead. “If I had known this would happen, I would have agreed to be with She Qi. I’d be living a life worse than death, but at least Ah Yu would still be alive. I will be satisfied as long as he’s alive and well…”
Bai Jiao’er’s heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe.
Her sister cherished her freedom the most. She was such a proud person. She would rather die than give in. She had always yearned for a carefree life.
