Chapter 97: Chapter 94: Wen Xian, Let Me Be Your World
They found it especially unbearable.
Even animals cherish their young with love, but she had never felt it herself.
She found it ironic and felt unspeakably sad.
Tears welled up and fell as Wen Xian simply turned away, continuously wiping her tears with a stubborn persistence in her watery eyes.
She didn’t want to be , she truly didn’t, that person should hold no meaning for her and wasn’t worth her tears.
Perhaps she just thought she was too pathetic.
No one knew what he was thinking at that moment, his blood seemed to freeze as he watched her turning back, her hand constantly wiping tears, and a hole seemed to pierce through his heart.
The next second, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Wen Xian stumbled against his chest, subconsciously trying to escape, feeling awkward, but she was instead held even tighter.
“Wen Xian, it’s all in the past, all of it…”
He pressed one hand on her back and the other on the back of her head, gently stroking her hair, over and over.
However, that large hand seemed to tremble slightly.
Yet Wen Xian pushed him away, her hand against his chest, that stubbornly persistent gaze full of tears, her voice hoarse and trembling, “It’s not over… Lu Xiao, it’s not over. No matter how I change now, those memories will forever be etched in my mind.”
Her incessant tears yet a stubborn demeanor was heartbreaking, but her words shattered one even more: “…like my spleen, back then it could have been saved, by removing half of it, spending more money, just a bit more money… But for those extra few hundred bucks back then, that man absolutely refused to give me…”
As she spoke, she seemed to find it utterly ridiculous, almost neurotically clutching her hair, her voice trembling as she continued, “So, I delayed too long, had a major hemorrhage, and the doctors at the hospital, having no other choice, had to remove it entirely.”
Since then, her body has been particularly weak, with inadequate blood supply and reduced immunity, resulting in lifelong irreversible damage.
And all that, just for a mere few hundred bucks.
Just those few hundred bucks.
By this point, Wen Xian’s emotions seemed to have completely collapsed.
Lu Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and when he rushed forward again, he didn’t say a word, just once again pulled her tightly into his embrace.
This time, Wen Xian didn’t struggle.
Just the tears, soaking his shirt bit by bit, suppressing her small beast-like restrained sobs.
Did it really not matter… She was also a child back then, and even now, she felt aggrieved.
It wasn’t despair but grievance, that feeling of extreme hatred yet unwillingness that twisted her entire personality into darkness.
They say she has no sympathy, doesn’t know what love is.
But who is as pitiable as her, who has ever taught her what love is?
Lu Xiao held her tightly in his arms, one hand behind her head, leaning down, his chin against her ear, closing his eyes.
Struggling to hold back that bitter swelling, when he opened his eyes again, those long, dark eyes seemed slightly red.
This world is indeed cruel, with many dark aspects, but even so, don’t give up on chasing the light.
Because light does exist; there are still beautiful things in this world.
If this world isn’t gentle, then, can I try?
Let me be your world.
