Ye Jiu left the study, closed the door, and looked up to meet Huai Jin's eyes outside the door.
Huai Jin forced a smile, "...Sister."
"You heard me, right?" Ye Jiu lowered her head and ruffled his hair. She probably wouldn't be able to do that again; such a wonderful feeling would never come again.
Ye Jiu felt a little melancholy. If she really had to leave, she would have to start looking for a place to live, although she could stay in a dormitory for now and wasn't in a hurry.
"Sister...are you really leaving?"
"The villa owner has spoken, there's nothing I can do."
Huaijin bit her lower lip, remaining silent, but her whole body was resisting the answer.
He never wanted Huaiyou to die; he wanted Huaiyou to die right now.
He used to care too little about Huaiyou, so much so that now he has nothing to control over Huaiyou.
"Eat well, sleep well, and do your rehabilitation well. Xiao Jin will be a very good mecha pilot in the future."
Huai Jin didn't want to hear these words. He turned his wheelchair away from Ye Jiu, his voice trembling, "Sister, do you not want me anymore?"
Ye Jiu asked in confusion, "You've never been my possession, so there's no question of whether I want you or not."
Huai Jin's mind went blank. Yes, they... they had no relationship whatsoever... If you remove the employer-employee relationship, they seemed to be just a pair of fairly familiar friends.
Huai Jin felt like he couldn't breathe, as if an invisible hand was squeezing his trachea. He instinctively covered his neck, gasping for air, and muttered, "Without this relationship, they are nothing... nothing at all."
Perhaps he exerted himself too much, because Huaijin gagged, and tears began to well up in his eyes, making his eyes red and pitiful.
Ye Jiu approached him to help him catch his breath, "It's not like it's goodbye forever, why are you so upset?"
"Huh? Farewell forever?" Huai Jin laughed, gripping Ye Jiu's wrist tightly. "If it really is farewell forever, then I'd probably die right now."
Huaijin changed the subject and asked, "Will you take me with you, sister?"
Ye Jiu remained silent; she didn't know what to say, and silence was the best answer.
Huaijin understood, and bit her lower lip hard, refusing to let go even when she tasted blood.
He looked up at Ye Jiu, "...I worked hard on rehabilitation, I got better and better, all to catch up with you, but now sister... doesn't want me anymore..."
As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face and fell to the ground. "I can stand up now... Give me a little more time, and I can walk like a normal person. Please wait for me... Wait for me."
Huai Jin retched as he spoke, the scene was truly pathetic. Huai Jin despised his own incompetence, yet hoped it would be even worse so that Ye Jiu would feel sorry for him and be willing to stay a little longer.
Ye Jiu squatted down and handed him a pack of tissues, wiping away the drool that came out when he gagged, saying, "Just like you said, you're getting better and better, so you don't need me anymore."
"Do you remember why I came here? Because you were having trouble living your life. So I came. Now you've quickly gotten rid of the past and don't need me anymore, right?"
Ye Jiu's tone was so gentle that Huai Jin's tears fell uncontrollably again. "If the price of my legs recovering is losing you, then I'd rather they never get better..."
Huaijin frantically grabbed her sleeve, "Don't go, please... I need you more than ever, I've always needed you..."
"Or you can wait for me... just wait a little longer, I'll catch up with you soon... very soon. Let's leave here together, okay..." Huai Jin sniffed, hoping she could have some pity on him and give him just a little bit of time, just a little bit.
"Young Master, you're about to become a responsible adult. The Huai family needs you."
Ye Jiu's address terrified him even more. He kept shaking his head, "No, no, I can't stand on my own, I can't. Actually, I'm terrible. I can't do anything right... The Huai family doesn't need me. I'm not anyone in the Huai family. I'm just Huai Jin... your little Jin."
Ye Jiu hugged him. "Yes, you are not someone from the Huai family. I misspoke. You are just Huai Jin."
Huaijin hugged Ye Jiu tightly, "Can't you really wait for me to leave together?"
Ye Jiu patted his back. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Huai Jin was still that twelve-year-old kid. He seemed to have grown up, but at the same time, he didn't.
"What's so good about following me? I have nothing."
"But I just want to follow you..."
Ye Jiu shook her head, "You can't come with me until you're fully recovered, and I can't stay until next week."
We're stuck in a vicious cycle. The way to break this cycle is... for Huaiyou to die.
Huaijin leaned on Ye Jiu's shoulder, closed her eyes, and said, "It's okay, I'll handle this. Sister, don't worry."
He needed something more intimidating to threaten her, so he released his grip on Ye Jiu and pulled a dagger from his storage ring.
Yes, a dagger, with a sharpened edge.
Ye Jiu never knew that he would carry such a thing with him!
Under Ye Jiu's stunned gaze, Huai Jin threw away the scabbard, placed the dagger in her palm, then wrapped her hand around it, making her grasp the hilt of the dagger.
With the sharpened end facing him, Huai Jin pulled Ye Jiu's hand and pushed the dagger toward his heart.
A sharp dagger was pressed against Huai Jin's chest. With just a little force from Ye Jiu, the dagger would pierce through his flesh and go into his heart, eventually penetrating it.
He said calmly, "This is my heart. With just a little effort, my sister, it will enter my body."
He pouted and said aggrievedly, "I don't want to be abandoned by someone, I don't want to be left here."
