Chapter 508: Selfishness
"What will happen?"
Lian Chuqing, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up, her face full of anxiety. If you didn't know, you would have thought she was the one about to get into trouble! This was enough to show that she really loved Long Haoguang, which was why she was so worried.
"Long-term contact with ghosts will reduce the yang energy in the human body." Zhong Nianyao said expressionlessly, "A person's vitality and spirit are supported by yang energy. Without yang energy, vitality and spirit are gone. Do you think you can still live?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped.
Except for Long Haoguang, everyone else had a calm expression on their face. Even when he heard that he was very likely to die, there was no change on his face. It was unclear whether he had already known the outcome or simply did not care about it.
"Chuqing, I'm begging you." Zhao Rongrong looked at Lian Chuqing with a sad face, her tone full of pleading, "Just leave Haoguang! He's still young. Can you bear to watch him die young?"
"Auntie, I—" Lian Chuqing suppressed the sadness in her heart, gritted her teeth, and nodded, "I will leave A Guang. I won't let him die young."
After getting Lian Chuqing's answer, the people of the Long family breathed a sigh of relief.
They had originally thought it would be difficult to convince Lian Chuqing, but unexpectedly, she agreed so easily. It seemed that Lian Chuqing loved Long Haoguang very much, which was why she agreed so quickly.
In fact, they didn't want to break up the lovers Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing. It's just that they are on different paths now. If they continue to stay together like this, it will only end in tragedy.
However, at this moment they were only concerned with being happy and completely ignored Long Haoguang who was standing silently beside them.
At this time, Long Haoguang's face was a little pale. He did not express any opinions, nor did he argue with his family. He just sat there quietly, as if everything that was happening now had nothing to do with him.
"it's useless."
Zhong Nianyao's light words were like a basin of cold water, which directly chilled the happy Long family members to the core.
"Her agreement is useless. The dominant power now lies with Long Haoguang, not Lian Chuqing. They have arranged a ghost marriage, which is the same as a marriage in the human world. It's useless if only one party agrees to divorce."
"The same applies to ghost marriages. Both spouses must agree to dissolve the marriage, otherwise it cannot be dissolved unilaterally. Moreover, unlike divorce in the human world, there is no way to sue for ghost marriages."
As the words fell, everyone realized that Long Haoguang had been in control of the situation from the beginning, not even appearing sad about the impending separation from Lian Chuqing. It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't feel anything, but that he wasn't afraid at all. More precisely, he knew that as long as he didn't want to, he and Lian Chuqing wouldn't be separated.
"Haoguang, you can't treat your parents like this," Zhao Rongrong stood up and grabbed Long Haoguang's collar, tears streaming down her face. "Promise me! You can't completely forget about us as your parents just for your love."
"You're not a child anymore, Haoguang. You can't just think about yourself!" Long Yunfeng also spoke up. "Let's send off the young with old hair. Have you ever thought about whether we can withstand such a blow?"
Seeing my usually dignified and elegant mother crying like a child, and my usually dignified father showing his vulnerability for the first time.
For a moment, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart: guilt, reluctance, and regret, but none of this was enough to shake his mind. He simply couldn't imagine how he would live after losing Lian Chuqing.
He had experienced that kind of zombie-like life once before, and now he absolutely did not want to live that kind of life again. He could not bear the blow of losing and regaining, then losing again.
Long Haoguang's unmoved look made Zhao Rongrong cry even more painfully.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed particularly depressing.
Soon, the Long family began to persuade Long Haoguang to give up the ghost marriage. Even Lian Chuqing, the other party involved, joined in the persuasion.
On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao, who was standing by, had a look of pure devotion, just watching the show. She just sat there without offering any suggestions.
Long Jiarui came to Zhong Nianyao's side, took her hand, and whispered, "Nianyao, is there really no other way? My second brother is too stubborn. Is he really going to die young like this?"
"Even if he really died, that was his own choice." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "You are just his family and cannot make any decisions for him."
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Long Jiarui didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long time, seeing Long Haoguang's stubborn look, the Long family felt disheartened.
Zhong Nianyao looked at the pale-faced Long Haoguang and suddenly said, "Have you really made up your mind? Your body, your parents, and everything you have now, do you really want to give up everything?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao mention her parents, a trace of struggle flashed across Long Haoguang's face, but he finally calmed down. He turned his head and looked at Lian Chuqing, with a rare warm smile on his lips, "Even if I'm gone, there will still be big brother and little sister, who will take good care of mom and dad. But she only has me. If I'm not there to take care of her, she doesn't know what will happen!"
After these words were spoken, Zhao Rongrong's tears fell faster. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from making sad sounds.
Long Yunfeng's face was extremely grim. He wanted to scold his love-brained second son to wake him up. But seeing that the other son looked like he had completely lost hope of living, he didn't know how to start.
"Haoguang, you're being too selfish." Long Haobo's sharp eyes fell on Long Haoguang, his tone filled with reproach. "Is love the only thing in your world? Don't your parents, brothers, and sisters have any place in your heart?"
"Brother, without Chu Qing, I really have no motivation to live." Long Haoguang met Long Haobo's gaze, his eyes calm but extremely firm, "Just help me then!"
