Chapter 731: More painful than death
"Xiao Sheng, is it really you?"
Zhong Yangyang was also stunned when she heard the queen's words. She turned her head and looked at the Master in disbelief.
Could it be that this person really knows her biological mother?
The Master curled his lips and slowly took off the mask that half covered his face: "Sister, long time no see."
"It's really you." The queen was shocked and was about to walk over when Zhong Yangyang grabbed her wrist.
"Don't go over there." Zhong Yangyang held her back. "That person is very dangerous."
"Yangyang, I am your uncle." The Master showed a hurt expression.
Zhong Yangyang shook her head slowly. "You ignored my wishes and brought me to this place. I don't have an uncle like you."
Hearing Zhong Yangyang's words, the Queen's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had recovered from the shock of her brother still being alive. She took a deep breath, tightened her grip on Yangyang's hand, and looked up at the Master: "I want to take my daughter away."
"Sister, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Don't you have anything to tell me?" The Master looked at the Queen with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I've imagined meeting you again countless times."
“…” The queen’s eyes moved slightly, and she seemed to soften her heart again.
"Keep on dreaming." Zhong Yangyang pulled the queen directly behind him and said, "If you have anything to say, go talk to my sister! People like you... people like you... don't deserve a sister!"
In Kong Xiyan's eyes, she always has priority and always has an independent and free soul.
Kong Xiyan, I will never do anything to hurt her.
She would never do anything to hurt her sister.
Someone like the Master, who wants to replace his sister's child for unknown reasons... doesn't deserve to have a sister.
"I look down on you!" Zhong Yangyang glared at the Master fiercely, then pulled the Queen towards the safe passage. "Mom, let's go."
Just as Zhong Yangyang was about to reach out to turn the doorknob, she saw the door being slammed open from the other side.
Immediately afterwards, Kong Xiyan appeared behind the door.
“Sister!” Zhong Yangyang immediately threw herself into Kong Xiyan’s arms: “There’s a very strange person here. He said he is my uncle, he…”
"I know." Kong Xiyan patted Zhong Yangyang's back gently: "Are you scared? It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Zhong Yangyang muttered in Kong Xiyan's arms, "I will never do anything to hurt you in my life, believe me."
"Of course I believe you." Kong Xiyan curled the corners of her lips: "With your strength, it's hard to hurt me."
"Sister!" Zhong Yangyang raised her head, her eyes full of displeasure.
"Be good, take your godmother away first." Kong Xiyan's eyes fell on Master.
"Well, then you should be careful." Zhong Yangyang nodded, then held the queen's hand again: "Mom, let's go."
The queen's gaze moved from Zhong Yangyang's face to Kong Xiyan's face. She opened her mouth but could not say anything.
"Godmother, I understand." Kong Xiyan gave her a reassuring look.
Only then did the queen leave with Zhong Yangyang.
"Sister." The Master's voice came from behind the Queen: "We will meet again, right?"
These words made the queen freeze, and her big round eyes instantly filled with tears.
It seemed as if at that moment, she was back in the ward where only despair remained.
The skinny brother was lying on the bed, looking at her from behind and asked her, "Sister, we will meet again, right?"
…
"Mom?" Zhong Yangyang looked at the queen.
"Let's go." The queen's voice was trembling. She held Zhong Yangyang's hand tightly, walked through the door, and went straight downstairs.
Layer after layer.
The stairs in front of me extended downwards, and the lights in the corridor flickered.
The queen felt dazed for a moment, as if she was back in the hospital corridor, which went straight ahead.
At the end of the corridor is my brother's ward.
I don’t want to go...I don’t want to go...
When their younger brother first fell ill, the three siblings made a bold promise to him.
"You will definitely get better! No matter what the cost, we will make you get better!"
"Yes, we will always be with you!"
"The four of us will never be separated for the rest of our lives!"
"Well, we won't separate even if we die!"
…
At that time, they were all very young and had no idea that there were many things in this world more painful than death.
For example, watching a living life slowly slip away.
She had seen her brother at his most energetic.
So, when she had done everything, but her brother...
That skinny brother with tubes stuck all over his body could only breathe with the help of a ventilator and even had difficulty speaking.
She broke down.
The more beautiful and vivid the memories of the past are, the colder and more painful the facts before us are.
Her younger brother...
Her brother is not like that.
My younger brother was precocious and showed extraordinary talent at a very young age.
He only needs to take a glance at the complex formulas that others need a long time to memorize.
He always thinks of things that others can't think of, and then realizes them one by one.
Everyone said that the Ye family had produced a genius and that the Ye family had a bright future.
My younger brother can stand at the top of the world.
That's what everyone said, and she thought so too.
But now my brother...
There was a faint bulge under the white bed. What was it?
So, is it a person?
Who is that person?
Why did she sleep in her brother's hospital bed?
Oh...right.
My younger brother is sick and is in the hospital.
The human-like thing on the bed was her younger brother...
"Sister~"
"elder sister!"
"elder sister."
The joyful sounds echoed in her ears again and again, mixed with the beeping sounds from the hospital equipment, causing severe tinnitus in her ears.
How long has it been since she last slept?
Five days? Seven days? Or...
She can't remember.
She just felt...
My younger brother is so cunning. He is the one who makes everyone lose their appetite and sleep at night because of him.
How could he sleep so well alone?
If that's the case, why not just die, die -
The sudden appearance of this thought brought her back to her senses.
“Bang!”
She slapped herself hard.
The sound echoed in the ward.
How could she think like that!
How could...
Tears flowed, and regret and self-blame were about to drown her.
It hurts so much...
Why wasn't she the one who was sick?
She was so stupid that even a math test made her panic and at a loss.
What would happen if someone like her disappeared?
Why...it had to be her brother?
How could she think like that? How could she!
“Sister——” The brother on the hospital bed seemed to be woken up by her, and struggled to open his eyelids swollen due to the infusion: “I, I’m much better than yesterday, you, don’t worry.
I will be discharged from the hospital very soon.
When the time comes, I will help you with math and you will definitely not fail.
Sister, don't be afraid.
Here I am.
Don’t be afraid.”
