Chapter Sixty Because of Love

  An Junli thought of Du Ruo's background and his own, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. Du Ruo was originally just an intelligent and beautiful girl, but poverty had forced her to constantly fight for survival in order to cultivate as an immortal.

  An Junli wouldn't think that Du Ruo is a bad girl, on the contrary he knows that Du Ruo is kind-hearted, she wants to do something bad, but her heart bears countless guilt. Every night she is tortured by this and becomes unhuman-like, but when she wakes up, she still has to put on a smile and struggle to live on, no matter how hard it gets.

  Now no one understands Du Ruò except himself.

  The day of An Jun Lei's mother release from prison is approaching, during these days in prison, her illness has become more serious.

  "Junli, how's Du Ruo?" Xicai went to the train station to pick up Meng Wei and they came to the hospital together.

  "I heard that nothing much has happened since I've been away?" Meng Wei said many strange things on the way to Xiakou, and he found it hard to believe.

  "Yes, Du Ruo is not good. Even though she's already very lucky, she might never be able to dance again." An Junli's sorrow was beyond words, even though Du Ruo wasn't his real girlfriend in his heart, but for so long, he had indeed treated her like a family member and cherished her dearly.

  In An Junli's eyes, Du Ruo was like a stray cat. In fact, she was fragile and sensitive at heart, but if someone wanted to hug her, she would expose her sharp claws and scare them away with a fierce expression. Then, still alone, she coldly told others that she didn't need their pity, so only a good boyfriend could make Du Ruo accept.

  "What? What can be done? How is Shen Fanglei?" Xi Ya knew what was truly hurting An Junli's heart, so he went straight to the point.

  "I don't know, how's Meng Wei?"

  "I've made up my mind to pursue my dream, I must become a painter, no matter the cost." Meng Wei had always liked painting, but it wasn't just a simple dream, it was also an expensive one.

  Just like a saying goes, dreams are plump and reality is bony. Perhaps before Meng Wei could even finish painting a picture, their family would run out of money, so her dad and mom were very opposed to her choosing to paint. On the one hand, there was no future in it; on the other hand, it was an endless money pit.

  "Good for you, having dreams is a good thing. You've just come back and are already very tired, go home and rest first! Du Ruo's situation has stabilized, don't worry about us, go home!"

  As friends, An Junli and Xi Zai both knew that Meng Wei's choice of this dream was not easy, but they also knew that they couldn't stop their brother from pursuing his dreams. All they could do was support him unconditionally and help him without any conditions.

  After sending Meng Wei away, An Junli leaned his head on Xi Ze's shoulder and closed his eyes as if to take a temporary rest. In front of Xi Ze, he had no secrets, so there was no need for pretence. In front of Xi Ze, he could be weak, reveal everything, and not swallow all the bitterness into his belly.

  "I don't know what to do now, how can I blame Fang Li as Du Ruofei's boyfriend? What should Du Ruofei do? If she can't dance because of this, her whole life will be ruined. What should I do?" An Junli's voice sounded so helpless, he was indeed like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, with no way to turn back and only a dead end ahead.

  "Brother, we'll always find a way out, things won't really be that bad. Even if it's true, Du Ruo's experience is pitiful enough, but you shouldn't be the one to take responsibility."

  "But how can I just abandon Du Ruo and live a peaceful life?"

  "Brother, you're just too kind and too stubborn. Fang likes you, why are you avoiding her? How do you know she wants a better man? How do you know she won't give up a better future for love?"

  "Even if she could, how can I let the one I love suffer with me, and be looked down upon with me?"

  "It won't do, you have us brothers, but none of us look down on you! Don't use these thoughts to veto the feelings between you and Fang Lei anymore. Don't think that your one-sided devotion is all for Fang Lei's good. You know I'll stand by your side if you're willing."

  Because of love, many of us often assume that doing certain things is for the other person's good. We always hurt those we love and who love us in this way, under the guise of "for love". In reality, we are just putting shackles on love, hurting each other while comforting ourselves that it's for the other person's good.

  Actually, we are just escaping. We just don't dare to face the fact that we are at a disadvantage. What we fear most is being looked down upon. Even willing to lose a love affair, rather than finally because of our own uselessness.

  "Xī jiào, I'm not weak, I just want her to live a better life. I have nothing to offer her, but Mò xiǎo is different, Mò xiǎo really likes her."

  "That's enough, you've had enough. You're just trying to cover up your own inferiority, aren't you? Are we so insignificant that we don't even have the right to love?"

  "Xī jiào, don't force me anymore, it's all too late now. Mò xiào is also my brother, and Dù ruò is lying here too. I know you've been helping me behind the scenes, but it's really too late now."

  "What does it mean? How did you know?"

  "Dou Ruo was injured, Zhang Qin came to see her, and I just knew that at that time Dou Ruo could know Mo Xiao's whereabouts at any time. It was all you and Zhang Qin who helped. I know you're doing it for my own good, the greatest happiness of this life is meeting you, you are my best brother."

  Xiaguan

  Before I met you, I never knew what a true brother was like. I guess you can't imagine it either, but because of you, I even thank that disaster. I think I love Fang Yi, but even so, no one can replace your position in my heart. Xi Jue, you are my younger brother, the closest younger brother.

  An Junli

  "Mengxi, don't cry anymore, my heart is breaking..." Dan Qing extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked at Mengxi, who was crying like a tearful person, with an aching heart.

  "Really, if you keep crying, I'll have my intestines pulled out...". Egg white put on a light and cheerful face, started to playfully tease Dream Creek, trying every means to make her happy.

  "Baby, you almost cried the hospital down, I'd rather die at sea...". Egg white's mouth was about to be worn out from talking, he wished he could transform into Zhou Youwang, if it would make Meng Xi smile, losing his country and people would be worth it.

  "Heh heh, that's enough, kid." Although Meng Xi was amused by Dan Qing, her heart still felt the same sadness, she just didn't want to drag others down and didn't want others to be sad with her.

  Egg whites leaned his head on Meng Xi's shoulder, and sometimes men were also lovely when they acted coquettishly. "I finally made my baby laugh, I'm going to be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood."

  "I'm really scared, Du Ruo's whole life is ruined by me, how can I bear it?" Meng Xi's eyes were already swollen, red and puffy like they had been intimate with a mosquito that didn't have enough strength.

  "There's a way, I'll get my dad to send her abroad to find the best doctor for rehabilitation." Egg Clear comforted Meng Xi.

  "But the doctor said that even if she could recover fully, Du Ruofei would never be able to dance again."

  "Then let's take responsibility for her second half of life together, I don't mind living a three-person life." Dan Qing said with ill intentions, his eyes constantly setting on Meng Xi, whose belly was full of bad water.

  "Get out, you're thinking of dying, I think you've thought about living with three people, have you thought about five or six people? Or a dozen?" Meng Xi clenched her soft fist and chased after Egg Tart.

  "Have you discovered all this?" Egg white hastily dodged and was still provoking Meng Xi.

  "Watch me kill you." Meng Xi pushed the egg white onto the hospital's long bench and started hitting it.

  "No, I'm talking about my dad, and our housekeeper, and our little cat and dog..."

  Meng Xi covered Egg Tart's mouth with one hand, "Shh, no noise is allowed in the hospital."
