Ye Zhizhou said those words so casually as though killing a person was as easy as breathing to him.

Li Zhiwei could only laugh bitterly. Ye Zhizhou had grown up in a very different environment from other kids. She could not expect him to think and behave like normal people.

“No, Zhizhou, don’t kill anyone.”

Ye Zhizhou curled his lips and nodded.

“Okay, fine, I won’t.”

Whoever made Li Zhiwei upset, he would make that person suffer a fate worse than death.

“Zhizhou, I need to hang up now. I’m visiting someone at the hospital.”

“I miss you, Aunt Zhiwei.”

“I miss you too.”

Li Zhiwei put down the phone walked into the hospital room with a bouquet of flowers.

Yan Shanyue was on her bed, painting. Ye Tianxin was seated on the chair opposite her, posing as the model. She had not moved for more than half an hour.

“Shanyue, Tianxin.”

Li Zhiwei was carrying a bouquet of flowers, specially arranged by the florist for an apology, from Li Zhiwei to Yan Shanyue.

When Yan Shanyue said Li Zhiwei’s name, she nodded to Ye Tianxin, indicating that she could take a short rest.

Li Zhiwei placed the flowers on top of a drawer. She then walked to stand beside Yan Shanyue by the bed.

“Shanyue, thank you for saving me that day.”

Li Zhiwei laughed bitterly.

“You shouldn’t have saved me. I don’t see any reason for me to keep living.”

Ye Tianxin had the urge to strangle Li Zhiwei.

If she wanted to die, why could she not go somewhere and die? Why must she die in front of Yan Shanyue and cause everyone so much trouble? Li Zhiwei was a shameless woman.

“Li Zhiwei, we don’t know each other well enough to share our feelings.”

Li Zhiwei ignored Yan Shanyue’s comments and recounted wistfully.

“I started liking him ever since I was 10 years old. I like him very much. I thought that because our fathers were good friends, one day, we would be together. How was I supposed to know that life was so unpredictable? Sometimes, things do not go as planned. Before I could even tell him my feelings, he already found someone else to love.

When my parents offered to help me and suggested to his father that we get engaged, I was elated. I believed that if we get engaged, one day, he will grow to like me. We can then start a family and grow old together.

The beautiful dream had only just begun when it suddenly shattered. He turned down the marriage proposal. Yes, I was very heartbroken, but I also know that it’s no point forcing him as love cannot be forced. Even if he was made to marry me, he would not love me.

Later on, when something happened to him, I thought that he had died in the line of duty. I was devastated. I was blaming God for being so unfair. He is such a good man. How can he die? I was inconsolable for a long time.

When I realized that he didn’t die, I was so happy. At least heaven is kind and spared his life.

When I learned that Ye Linlang also died because of him, I was shocked. At the same time, I admired her for her love and loyalty to Xuning. I would not be able to do it if I were her.

At that time, I was secretly happy about it too. Ye Linlang was no longer around. That means that I now have a chance.

I was waiting the whole time for Xuning to know and love me. I thought one day he will come to know of my sincerity.

I waited for so long. I had always yearned for him. Now, I am still alone.”
