Chapter 517 The Unbearable Truth
It turns out that one day, the truth would be so heavy that he couldn’t bear it!
Yiliang...
All he could do was futilely repeat her name in his mind, recalling her every smile and frown, but the more he did so, the larger the void in his heart grew!
Qiao Yebai’s words kept echoing in his mind.
She took a bullet for you!
What right do you have to blame her? If not for her, you would be dead!
Is this how you love her?
Yan Sijue, who do you think you are!
The man shut his eyes tightly!
Yes, who does he think he is... Who does he think he is! Does he think it’s enough to say those hollow "I love you"s, enough with his perpetually unsettled heart, enough with all the harm he has caused her!
Even he wanted to ask, who does he think he is?
He didn’t know how long it had been when dusk fell.
Yan Sijue finally turned the car around.
No matter how terrified, how painful, he had to face it.
Because he could no longer let her down, no longer...
Mu Yiliang waited until nightfall and finally saw her man’s figure!
He took step by step from the courtyard to the living room, his steps slow and heavy, his silhouette tall and erect, yet exuding an indescribable heaviness.
Mu Yiliang didn’t think much; she almost couldn’t wait to rush over and hug him: "Sijue, you finally came back!"
But soon she realized something was wrong; the man’s body was unnaturally stiff. At this moment, he would have already embraced her, giving her a lingering kiss.
"Sijue, what’s wrong?" She recalled how long he lingered outside today and looked up at him, "Did something happen?"
Yan Sijue slowly lowered his head, looking at her face.
There was a slight blush on her face, but her cheeks were gaunt, and deep worry gleamed in her eyes.
He slowly stretched out his arms, holding her tightly.
The body in his arms was still warm and soft, but in Yan Sijue’s mind appeared the scene of her lying in a pool of blood... At that time, did she ever regret?
Her life slowly slipping away, the blood slowly carrying away her body’s warmth... How cold she must have been then...
She painstakingly camouflaged her sick look to find him, to stop him from being with another woman, but what did he do to her...
Yan Sijue’s eyelashes trembled violently.
Mu Yiliang became increasingly anxious: "Sijue?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry..." he rasped, holding her even tighter, "I’m fine..."
Mu Yiliang wouldn’t believe him even if ghosts would!
"I can see you’re not fine at all!"
The man let out a bitter smile.
"Yiliang, I know..." he whispered in her ear, his voice choked.
Mu Yiliang, baffled: "...Know what? Don’t tell me you know the ultimate secret of the universe, that the solar system will be flattened into two dimensions, like in ’The Three-Body Problem’?"
The man thought he should play along with her, yet he couldn’t bring himself to smile.
"I know you once saved me..." he said hoarsely, "The gunshot wound on your chest was because of me... right?"
Mu Yiliang was stunned. She had almost forgotten about this, unexpected that he would suddenly know.
"...Who told you?" She didn’t know if she should admit it.
It seemed this matter impacted him greatly...
"Qiao Yebai." He smiled bitterly, "I had to hear about this from someone else!"
Mu Yiliang thought he was blaming her; she struggled and said, "Sorry... I just thought the matter was in the past, and there was no need to say it... Afraid you’d blame yourself repeatedly..."
