“Ruofeng tugged at his clothes with a pleading tone.
Qifeng looked down, anger hidden between his brows, “What does it have to do with you? She’s not even a stranger, understand?”
Ruofeng remained silent, staring at him with tearful eyes. Suifeng’s sister had lived with her for over ten years; regardless of past mistakes, what more could she resent at the brink of life and death?
Qifeng pressed his lips together, silent as well.
“If it’s Second Brother, it would be easier to save her, right?” She leaned her head on his chest. “Second Brother can do anything, right?”
Qifeng held her tightly and strode out.
“Second Brother!” She struggled, unable to watch Suifeng die indifferently.
“I won’t save her.” Qifeng exhaled sharply, “Even if she dies a thousand times, it won’t ease my hatred. You only see her as pitiful, but don’t forget how shameless she was in stealing your lover, causing your heart attack. If not for a coincidence, you would have left me forever!” His hands tightened as memories of despair resurfaced.
Ruofeng looked up, catching a fleeting glimmer in Qifeng’s eyes. Her heart trembled. Second Brother never cried; he always remained stoic. Any moment of weakness was because of her.”
Qifeng bent down, pressing his head close to her ear, “Of course I can save her, with my life, exchanging for hers.” Ruofeng shuddered and wrapped her arms around his waist. After a moment, she softly said, “Okay, we won’t save her.”
A slow smile curved Qifeng’s mouth. That woman, alive or dead, had nothing to do with him. He had restrained himself from taking her life; now, asking him to save her was impossible. “Situ Suifeng, her life and death are her own fate. From now on, she has nothing to do with you. If you cannot hate her, then don’t care about her.”
They walked out of the hospital gate, street lights illuminating the surroundings but failing to highlight the prosperity. “Brother, I don’t want to take the car,” Ruofeng said. Qifeng looked at her wilted face, closed the car door, and replied, “Okay!” Holding her hand, they walked home slowly.
