Broken Heart
Liu Muze had watched him grow up since he was a child. In the past eighteen years, Ye Jingan had hardly cried. Even when he was forced to empathize in the haunted house and was skinned alive, he didn't cry like this.
Liu Muze clenched his fists tightly, his long nails digging into his flesh and pressing against his bones. Seeing Ye Jing'an like this, it was as if he was back to the time when he saw Ye Chenyi disappear in his arms. That unforgettable heartache, embedded deep in his soul, reappeared. He bit the back of his teeth tightly, frowning to hold back the tears. It turned out that Ye Jing'an already held such a heavy weight in his heart, and yet he was still deceiving himself.
"I'm leaving..." Liu Muzhe closed his eyes and tears fell to the ground.
When Ye Jingan looked up after hearing this, Liu Muze was gone. He knew that as long as Liu Muze wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him. Ye Jingan clutched the clothes at his heart. This is what it felt like to lose someone who was willing to protect you with his life.
Brother Liu was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he would definitely come back to see him. Ye Jingan couldn't imagine how desperate Brother Liu was when he completely lost his ancestor. He didn't know how Brother Liu had persisted until now, and how much pain he had endured to get to this day?
Ye Jing'an felt that his head was as heavy as if it were filled with lead. He was unable to support it and passed out with his eyes rolled back.
It was raining, not heavily, but it lasted for a long time.
Liu Muze walked along a muddy path, not knowing where he was or where he was going. Raindrops poured down his face, mingling with his tears as they streamed down his eyes. He didn't like getting wet in the rain, but today's rain had made him particularly sober. It turned out he was the one who couldn't tell whether he loved him or not.
Liu Muze's legs softened and he knelt on the rain-soaked yellow mud. He stared at his trembling hands and choked out a sob, "Ye Chenyi... I'm sorry, I'm... sorry, what should I do?"
"Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this!"
"sorry……"
Liu Muze's consciousness was in a state of confusion, and he collapsed to the ground. Raindrops splashed onto the ground, forming muddy yellow rain flowers, wantonly staining Liu Muze's white clothes. The rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Qiu Zimu sent countless messages to Ye Jing'an and made more than 20 phone calls, but there was no response. He became increasingly suspicious that Ye Jing'an had not returned home and had probably gone out to look for Brother Liu. Worried that something might have happened, he called Ye Jing'an's father and told Ye Zhuoran what had happened.
"Who are you talking about? Ye Jing'an is really alive?" Ye Zhuoran also knew that there was such a thing as going to the underworld to rescue people, but it was almost impossible to snatch people back from the underworld. Maybe he would never come back.
Ye Zhuoran couldn't believe it, but he was also expectant. He told Ye Yu about it. The two of them searched the whole house for Ye Jingan, discussing how to thank Liu Ziyuan properly. They also wanted to see what kind of person he was who could snatch someone back from the underworld.
Ye Zhuoran searched the Ye family's house inside and out, and finally found Ye Jing'an in the forbidden area. Ye Zhuoran sniffed his breath and confirmed that he was really alive, and it was not Qiu Zimu who brought the corpse back to coax him.
Ye Zhuoran happily hugged Ye Yu and shouted loudly, but seeing the tears on the ground, he thought Ye Jingan had some sequelae from the beating, so he was scared and rushed him to the hospital.
The doctor used a bunch of technical terms like brain nerve disorder, insufficient blood supply, etc. Ye Zhuoran and Ye Yu's faces turned pale when they heard it, and the doctor finally summed it up with one sentence: fainted from crying.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, finally he was alive and not in any life-threatening condition. While feeling relieved, they were also curious about what had happened to him, and they both fainted from crying.
They both watched the surveillance video that Ye Jingning retrieved. From the beginning until he was beaten to death, Ye Jingan didn't shed a single tear. What on earth could have made this kid faint from crying?
After two days in the hospital, Ye Jing'an vaguely called out to the Grandmaster, muttering that he wanted to see the Grandmaster. Ye Yu was so happy that his grandson was in a coma and still thought about the Grandmaster! Without saying a word, he arranged for Ye Jing'an to be discharged from the hospital and take him back to ask the Grandmaster for help.
Ye Zhuoran couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to go home. After paying homage to the ancestors, Ye Jingan really woke up after a while.
After sleeping for three days, Ye Jingan woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He ignored the pain and was extremely eager to find Liu Muze.
Seeing him wake up, Ye Zhuoran's tense nerves relaxed and he hurriedly asked, "Are you still feeling unwell? What happened?"
Ye Jingan shook his head slowly, and said with a gloomy face: "I'm heartbroken."
Ye Zhuoran was stunned. Hearing his hoarse voice, he quickly handed him a glass of warm water. Ye Zhuoran and Ye Yu spent a long time pondering the reason why this kid fainted from crying. They guessed everything, but the only thing they didn't guess was that it was because of a broken heart.
Firstly, I haven't heard Ye Jing'an mention that he was in love. Secondly, it's okay for a grown man to cry after a breakup, but fainting from crying is not something this guy would do.
"Oh, you little brat is in love." Ye Zhuoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted his shoulder. "It's just a broken heart. Look at your behavior. You went to a nightclub to get drunk, offended someone, and got beaten to death. You finally woke up, but fainted again for three days because I scared you. Dad will find you a better one!"
"Don't worry about it, I want him!" Ye Jing'an was having trouble breathing again, and his chest began to heave violently.
"Okay, okay, I want her! Stop making such a fuss! You're just going through all this trouble just because you're heartbroken..." Ye Zhuoran hadn't done any work in the past three days, just looking after this child, and now he's just saying he's heartbroken...
Ye Zhuoran asked Ye Jing'an about Liu Muze and asked, "What is the origin of Brother Liu that you often mention? He saved you this time. Please invite him to your home. Your grandfather and I want to thank him."
"He has something to do recently and can't come." Ye Jing'an said.
Ye Zhuoran frowned, thinking that something might have happened when he was rescuing Ye Jingan. He continued to ask Ye Jingan about what happened that day.
Ye Jing'an wanted to find the person himself. He was annoyed by his father and kicked him out of the room. He told him that Brother Liu would bring him home to play after he finished his work.
"This unlucky kid!" Ye Zhuoran called Ye Jingning to tell him that he had woken up, and also asked about Liu Ziyuan.
Ye Jing'an ran towards the forbidden area. The tall, lush osmanthus trees and the purple irises scattered across the ground—everything was the same as before, except that the figure in white with flowing long hair in the stone pavilion hadn't appeared again.
He walked back to his room slouching, then picked up his phone to check WeChat. Whenever a red dot appeared, he assumed it was Brother Liu's reply. But Liu Muze didn't reply to a single one of the hundreds of messages he had sent.
Ye Jingan felt a surge of discomfort in his heart. Brother Liu was really angry and ignored him. For the first time, he felt that time was so long. It was only five minutes, but it felt like more than half an hour had passed.
After being at home for less than two hours, Ye Jingan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out to look for Liu Muze, even if he couldn't find him! As soon as he left the house, he saw Ye Jingning coming back with a bunch of supplements.
"Oh my God! You're really awake!" Although Ye Jingning had prepared himself mentally, it was still incredible to see his brother, who had been dead for several days, standing in front of him alive and well.
Ye Jing'an called her with an expressionless face and walked out of the house in a daze.
"Stop! Where are you going?" Ye Jingning asked.
"Take a walk." Ye Jing'an said.
"You went for a walk in such a cold day?" Ye Jingning dragged him back to the room and interrogated him, "Tell me about it yourself."
"What?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"You know it clearly in your heart." Ye Jingning said.
"I don't know. I'm hungry and want to eat dumplings. I'm going out to buy some." Ye Jing'an turned and left.
"Don't give me that! I was planning to come back and have a free meal, but my dad said you had just finished eating." Ye Jingning said.
"I'm not full yet. I want to drink milk tea." Ye Jingan said indifferently.
"Brother Liu answered my call." Ye Jingning curled his lips.
"What?" Ye Jingan immediately turned around and sat back on the stool, asking excitedly, "Where is he?"
"Tell me first what the conflict is between you two. Tell the truth, otherwise don't expect me to tell you." Ye Jingning said.
"I kissed him forcibly." Ye Jing'an frowned slightly.
Ye Jingning slapped himself in the face. No wonder Brother Liu didn't answer even after making over thirty calls. He even turned his phone off. He had gone to so much trouble to rescue Ye Jingan, and yet he still had to endure this. It would be strange if he wasn't angry.
Ye Jingning grabbed his ear and scolded him, "They rescued you, so if you want to marry them, you should ask them first. How can you force someone to marry you?!"
"I was wrong, where are the others?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake? Last time, you got Brother Liu drunk and took him to the hotel, and you almost slept with him. Brother Liu was on your side at the time and helped you explain, so I didn't say anything. And this time you forcefully kissed him again!" Ye Jingning slammed the table, "Come on, explain yourself."
"I didn't want to sleep with him last time, so this time there's nothing to explain." Ye Jing'an said.
"You really want it this time!" Ye Jingning sighed helplessly, "From childhood to adulthood, I taught you how to be nice to girls and how to take care of girls. But you, on the other hand, haven't dated a little girl yet, and you like a grown man. You couldn't get her, so she ran away because of her popularity, and you even cried for three days. Can you be more promising?"
Ye Jingan rolled his eyes and turned his head away, letting her say whatever she wanted.
"Brother Liu was really good to you. The day you had the accident, he called us multiple times, telling us to hurry and look for you, saying he still had two hours to get there. But when we found you, you were already breathing your last. I called him and told him to come straight to the hospital." Ye Jingning stared in disbelief. "He actually got there in just 20 minutes! I almost suspected he had flown here. He rushed over and happened to see you taking your last breath. Do you know what his expression was like?"
"Stop talking." Ye Jing'an frowned.
"Our whole family was here, and Brother Liu cried in front of everyone! Have you ever seen Brother Liu cry? He said he would teach you any spell you wanted to learn, and any treasure you wanted, as long as you woke up and looked at him. He was injured at the time, his clothes were covered in blood, and he didn't even treat the wound, and then he rushed out to save you!"
Ye Jingning sighed and continued, "I don't know what happened between you and Brother Liu that made him treat you like this, but can you be considerate of him? And let him worry less. He's just a friend of yours and doesn't owe you anything!"
