The young man covered his chest with his hands. The pain in his heart finally made it impossible for him to listen any longer. He turned around and left quietly. His cool tears dripped onto the ground, and disappeared in an instant. The faint moonlight cast his figure on the ground. He was alone, expressing his sadness and loneliness.
The boy left quietly, and the people in the house were unaware of it.
Zhang Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Chao Mu, maybe you are mistaken. Maybe you don't love me, but you mistaken being touched for love. And the person I love is Zhao Chuchu. I believe that there must be someone in this world who loves you, like Yi Qian. He loves you."
"I'm not mistaken." Shen Chaomu walked delicately to the portrait of Zhang Xiuyuan and said, "This is what I drew. Does it look like you? If I didn't love you, how could I have drawn you so well?"
Shen Chaomu carefully stroked the painting with his fingertips, his eyes gentle.
"Xiuyuan, I don't want to know whether Yi Qian loves me or not. I just want to keep you by my side. Xiuyuan, I am really in pain, do you know?
My mother doesn't love me. For the sake of her lover, she conspired to kill my father, the only one who loved me, and I was forced to wander.
I thought, since they didn't want me, then I didn't want her either, so let it be. But who would have thought that I still had a biological sister. You know, when they sent Little Grape to me, I was really happy, especially when I saw that she only relied on me, and her clear eyes were filled with my reflection, I was so happy.
I swore that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, I would cure her illness, so I worked very hard and saved money. Even if her illness could not be cured in the future, it didn't matter, I could support her for the rest of her life.
But I, but I..."
Shen Chaomu raised his trembling hands, his eyes reddened, his voice sad, like a weeping young beast: “But I brought her back to the capital, and personally pushed her into the abyss of the devil.
"The claim that we're curing Little Grape's illness is all fake. They're the ones who are sick. They say that Little Grape and I are their daughters, the closest blood relatives of her precious son, and that our flesh and blood are the best medicine for their recovery."
Shen Chaomu looked painful, tears falling uncontrollably.
She slowly raised her arms. Zhang Xiuyuan took a look and his pupils shrank in horror.
The arms, which should have been smooth and shiny, were now full of pits and indentations, as if the flesh had been cut off in several places.
"It's not just my hands, my legs and my whole body are already covered with scars. Except for this face, the rest of my body is extremely ugly." She said with disgust, lowering her sleeves to cover the ugly marks.
"At that time, Little Grape and I were locked up, and I provided them with flesh and blood every day. Do you know how much my heart ached when I heard Little Grape calling me brother? Do you know what I saw when I rescued Little Grape?
The already skinny little person just lay there on the ground, not a single piece of good flesh on her body, and the blood kept flowing out of her body, her whole body was covered in blood. When I picked her up, her eyes were half open, her pupils were dilated. I knew she wanted to call out "brother", but she couldn't say it anymore. Finally, she took her last breath. I just watched her die in front of me.
Zhang Xiuyuan turned sideways, holding the little bun in his arms and crying. Just listening to Shen Chaomu's story, you can tell how tragic the scene was. You can imagine how devastated Shen Chaomu, as a sister, would be holding the little grape covered in blood.
