Chapter 161 Let’s break up
Chi Ruiche's steps grew heavier and heavier, each step feeling like a struggle in an abyss.
What happens after you leave?
Jiang Yi, dressed in a thin hospital gown, stood in front of the door on the rooftop. She was clutching her sleeves tightly, her face was pale, her breathing was rapid, and she was trembling all over.
Seeing that Chi Ruiche hadn't arrived yet, she wanted to sneak out for some fresh air, but the familiar male voice made her stop in her tracks.
Her voice was weak yet pierced the heart. Chi Ruiche's eyes were empty, his lips moved but he couldn't utter a word. Then, from somewhere, came the sound of water droplets falling. Plop, like tears falling.
"It's so cold, are you crazy?" Jiang Yang immediately took off his coat and covered Jiang Yi with it.
Jiang Yi had fair skin, but her illness made her look even paler and sickly. Her long, black hair was disheveled, making her appear frail and weak.
"Are you still trying to push me away? Does what we said that day mean nothing?"
"Do you think I should just be a decorative vase who knows nothing and doesn't have to care about anything, and stay by your side; if there's danger, you can use the excuse of 'it's for my own good' to get me to leave, and call that protection, is that right?"
Step by step, Jiang met his eyes, her clear eyes brimming with tears, yet she stubbornly gazed at him.
Chi Ruiche raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. These icy tears felt like scalding lava, burning him painfully. He couldn't utter a word, but he swept her up in his arms and carried her away from this desolate world.
Jiang Yi was held tightly in his arms. She closed her eyes and let her tears roll down and drip onto the back of her hand.
"let's break up!"
"I will leave Xijing and go to a place where none of you can find me."
Jiang Yi lay on the bed, curled up, pulled the blanket up high, and spoke in a muffled voice.
Silence filled the ward. Chi Ruiche dared not speak, afraid he would regret it. He forced himself to stand still.
"From now on..." A lump formed in his throat, preventing him from uttering the second sentence.
The door was gently closed, and Jiang Yi's tears flowed uncontrollably. Her body, hidden under the covers, trembled violently. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to pierce the heart.
The sky was gray and gloomy. Chi Ruiche stood on the rooftop. Raindrops fell on his clothes, quickly forming water droplets that condensed on the cold ground.
Winter rain is like icy needles, carried by the biting wind, mercilessly pounding on every inch of exposed skin.
Chi Ruiche closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again. His eyes were misty, and his expression was blank, as if his soul had been ripped out. He stared blankly ahead.
"Why do you have to do that? Life is so short. As long as the two of you are together, that's enough."
A black umbrella enveloped him, and Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder.
"This girl is so stubborn. How long will it take her to forget?"
"this time,"
Chi Ruiche paused for a long time before speaking, his voice trembling slightly, and his breath dissipated in the cold wind.
"The only person I hurt was Jiang Yi. I can't afford to repay her heart. I can't afford to gamble with her life."
Jiang Yang's pupils contracted slightly without his notice. He turned his head and asked, "Remember when I asked you what you would have done if you were me back then, facing Lin Xi? What was your answer?"
"It's her, that's good."
"Isn't it enough that you say 'it's her'? Xiao Che, this isn't a one-way choice. You have to give up something to gain something. What do you really want? Since you've taken her hand, you should share the burden together. Love isn't just about you."
"No one can guarantee that their choices are always right. I know you're scared because of Xiao Yi's accident. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be in danger. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have fallen into the water. There are no 'ifs', but right now she needs your company."
"Instead of you presumptuously thinking you're doing it for her own good and deciding her future for her."
Chi Ruiche clenched his fists in an attempt to suppress the pain in his heart, but the pain surged through his entire body like a tidal wave.
He pushed away the umbrella Jiang Yang was using to shield him from the rain, letting the rain pelt him. He used silence to mask his helplessness, but the pain in his heart had no outlet, and it throbbed painfully in his heart.
"My Jiang Yi should have been the brightest young master in Xijing."
