Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Tuoba Liuli was lost in thought for a long time.

It's been a really long time.

She had always known she didn't have long to live, but no one had ever told her so bluntly before.

Even Yuwen Ying, who used to be straightforward, later became a bit gentler, perhaps because she spent a lot of time with everyone.

Even she wouldn't be so blunt as to tell Tuoba Liuli that she would die soon.

Ali was the first one.

I'm afraid this might be the last one.

Although I had known for a long time that I wouldn't live much longer, it was still so hard to accept to suddenly be confronted with such a bloody statement.

Suddenly, I felt ice-cold all over, as if I had completely lost all my strength, and I didn't even have the strength to speak.

Chu Yueli gave her a long time to get used to these words.

It's unclear how much time passed before Tuoba Liuli slowly lifted her lowered eyes.

She looked at Chu Yueli, opened her mouth, clearly wanting to speak, but seemed unsure of what to say for a moment.

Chu Yueli said, "If we don't see him, there will truly be no chance. Not only will he regret it for the rest of his life, but you will too."

"Ah Li..." Before she could finish speaking, tears were already streaming down her face.

How could I bear to part with him? I'd rather die than see Brother Chu again!

How could she bear to do that!

These days, she falls asleep every night holding Brother Chu's letter, and when she wakes up at midnight, her pillow is always wet with tears.

She really wanted to go back to Brother Chu's side, to be held in his arms, even for just a moment, she would be content.

Is it really true that we can never see each other until we die?

She's really going to die soon!

"If one day my elder brother is disfigured, or becomes lame..."

"Don't say it!" Tuoba Liuli immediately interrupted her, feeling uncomfortable hearing such unlucky words.

"I'm just saying, if," Chu Yueli looked at her calmly and indifferently, "then, would you still like him?"

"Of course!" No matter what Brother Chu becomes, as long as he is still Brother Chu, he will!

She loved Brother Chu as a person, his heart, and his soul.

"Then why don't you understand that no matter what you become, my older brother will still love you the same way?"

"he……"

"I will, Li'er." The door suddenly opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped in.

Tuoba Liuli was shocked, and then, in shock, she immediately pulled up the blanket to cover her face.

Huo Qing was afraid that something might happen to Chu Yueli, so she quickly went over and helped her stand up.

Lu Beimo couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in from outside, supporting his wife and anxiously asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Yueli rolled her eyes at him before looking at Chu Xiaohe.

“I think she should be able to accept it now, brother, you should spend some time with her.”

Lu Beimo immediately picked her up, wanting to leave quickly, but he was afraid that if he left too hastily, she would feel uncomfortable.

In the end, we had to be patient and take it one step at a time.

The others also quickly left.

As they left the last of the perilla leaves, they considerately closed the door for them.

Chu Xiaohe stood by the bed and looked at Tuoba Liuli for a long time.

She remained hidden under the covers, sobbing softly, without speaking or coming out.

She just kept crying.

Chu Xiaohe's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows; the pain was excruciating.

"Li'er, I knew you were here all along. In fact, I've been watching you every day these past few days."

"Do not……"

“I know your face very well. You have no idea that I sleep on your roof every night, watching you fall asleep.”
