Chapter Thirty-Three: The Last Commemoration

  "Zi Qiu? Zi Qiu!" The sound of Mu Ziqiu falling to the ground was dull and loud, Li Xiaoli could no longer bear the torture in his heart, turned around, swayed, just took a step back, but fell to the ground, Li Xiaoli shook his head, looked at Mu Ziqiu who also fell not far away, crawled over.

  "Zi Qiu, are you okay? Don't scare your sister! Sister knows she was wrong and won't drive you away anymore! Really, I won't drive you away!" In the short distance of a few meters, Li Xiaoli, who had drunk too much, took almost two minutes to crawl to Mu Zi Qiu's side. After stabilizing her body, she hugged Mu Zi Qiu in her arms. Her throat was hoarse from crying, and tears immediately burst forth like a fountain, pouring down onto Mu Zi Qiu's painful face, his red and swollen eyes, and the tears by his tightly closed eyelids. The tears merged together, then flowed across his cheeks, dripping onto the floor, and finally disappeared into tiny pearls...

  "Jia Qiu!" The quiet room was left with only Lee Hyori's sobbing voice echoing...

  ……

  “Ding dong......” After a long time, the sound of the doorbell woke up Lee Hyo-ri, who was sitting on the floor, hugging Mokja. "Is it here? Is it here? I don't want to let you go! I won't think about it!" Looking at Mokja's unconscious face in her arms, she trembled as she stroked his swollen cheek. Lee Hyo-ri's voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, her breathing slow and becoming more urgent in the quiet room. The more urgent the doorbell rang, the more fearful her heart became...

  "I can't let you go like this, I won't let go of the one I think about day and night..." The phone on the bedside table kept ringing with the tune of "NOW", making the quiet room seem so noisy. The person calling her was Kim Min-hee, who had rushed over immediately after receiving Lee Hyori's decision. Lee Hyori really wanted to cover her ears, not wanting to hear this urgent voice...

  "Golden room long! I don't want to let go!" Finally, Lee Hyori answered the phone, her dry eyes welled up again, and cool tears like crystal dropped onto Muzi's swollen red cheeks, powdering her shattered body.

  "Kōri, think about Koji's future..."

  "Ugh..." The future, Zi Qiu's future! Why can't his future stand behind me? Can't it? Is it really not possible? Ah, no, it's not possible. If he stands behind me, his whole life will be ruined! "Zi Qiu has already fainted, give me a little more time, I want to spend some more time with him..." There is a kind of love called letting go! Since letting go is the best choice for him, then let go, just like a mother lion ruthlessly abandoning her own child...

  "Uh-huh, I've been outside the door all along." Kim Min-hee hung up the phone, but couldn't help but sigh in admiration at this enviable brother and sister...

  ……

  Time, with the alarm clock under the bedside lamp ticking away drop by drop, unknowingly approaches midnight...

  "Zi Qiu, in half an hour, it will be the seventh anniversary of our meeting. The first time I saw you, your eyes moved me. When I reached out my hand to you, your shy hands were so lovely; after bringing you home, why didn't you win over my parents' hearts? I wanted you to be happy every day... Thank you for taking on the responsibility of caring for me when you were young, I enjoyed being cared for by you..." Memories flashed through Li Xiaoli's mind like a colorful movie, each scene sweet and tender, without any bitterness. Even during the most difficult times after leaving home, the two of them together were still sweet. Suddenly, Li Xiaoli realized something, and her eyes widened with only a few threads of blood...

  "I, I... it was like this all along..." Lee Hyori smiled, even as tears were still streaming down her face. She had thought that the bond between them was something special, but now she realized it had changed. "Why did I only realize this today? If that's the case, Jia Qiu, sister has to push you away..."

  "Mu Qiu, the last memory... " Li Xiao Li bent down, her infinitely tender lips, pressed against Mu Qiu's pale lips, lingering, not parting...

  "Hyori, is that you?" Kim Min-hee, who was squatting outside the door, immediately stood up when he saw the door open, which had been closed for a long time. What entered his eyes was not the bitter face he had imagined, but a smiling face! Although there were two wet streaks on her cheeks, it was indeed a smiling face!

  "I realized some things I hadn't discovered until tonight, so I'm happy! Come in, Joo-ah is in my room." Lee Hyo-ri's body was still shaking as she leaned against the door frame, but her face was beaming with a smile like a blooming rose. Kim Min-hee stepped forward and helped Lee Hyo-ri into the house, then went into the room and picked up Joo-ah, who was lying on the floor.

  "Haoli, what did you say to Ziqiu? He couldn't take it and fainted. What a huge blow it must be to make someone's spirit unable to withstand it and faint."

  "I just said he's not worthy of being my brother." Yes, now he's not worthy...

  "No wonder." Muzi Qiu's feelings for Xialili, anyone who knew Xialili would know that this sentence "not worthy" was so hurtful to Muzi Qiu, and Jin Minhe could fully imagine it.

  "Hyo-ri, your words are a bit too much! Ji-ah might not be able to handle it!" Min-hee felt sorry for Hyeori, but actually, Jia could have stayed behind her as well. With the guidance of a great teacher and Hyeori's supervision by her side, his future prospects would also be limitless. But he didn't want Jia's potential to go to waste, so he took him away, determined to bring him to the very top! And besides, there was a little bit of personal interest involved...

  Kim Min-hee's son, if he hadn't died in a car accident, would be around the same age as Mok Jae-woo this year. This is also why Kim Min-hee has been taking care of him all along. Even though Mok Jae-woo and he have always been cold to each other, he likes Mok Jae-woo, a smart but eccentric kid...

  "Golden Chamber Master! What did you say?" Li Xiaoli suddenly panicked, what does it mean that he can't hold on?!

  "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Finally, I'll say one more thing: if you want Tsubaki to stand tall, then please keep working hard too, because only when you stand taller can Tsubaki's goals be bigger!" Kim Min-hee had already thought of how to help Mokuzi get through this hurdle, and once he got through it and opened up his heart, everything would be simple.

  "Thank you, I will work hard! I will continue to strive and stand a little taller..."

  "So I'll go first." Kim Min-hee carried the unconscious Mok-ja and walked out of the house, leaving only Lee Hyo-ri sitting alone on the couch.

  "Zi Qiu, let me see you, how bright is the light you emit!" Outside the window, the large round moon, which had been obscured by dark clouds, finally broke free from the cloud cover and radiated its glory, becoming the most dazzling point in the vast sky. The clock on the wall had just struck twelve...

  Under the sofa cushion, Mu Zi Qiu's phone, which he had thrown down when he ran out of the house, flashed a signal indicating that it was out of power...
