Tang Xinxin traveled a long distance,

Upon arriving in Shanghai,

It was already noon on the second day.

The warm winter sun shone on the streets.

But it couldn't dispel the chill that filled her heart.

She disregarded her travel fatigue.

There was only one thought in my mind.

That meant heading straight for the Luo family's old residence.

The trees surrounding the Luo family's old house have intertwined branches.

It added a touch of mystery to the old house.

Tang Xinxin stood before that ancient and heavy gate.

Take a deep breath and press the doorbell.

The house was quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds.

After a while, the butler's slightly aged figure finally appeared at the door.

The moment I saw Tang Xinxin,

A hint of surprise flashed in the butler's eyes.

But they quickly regained their usual respect.

He bowed slightly and said:

"Miss Tang, you've arrived."

Tang Xinxin nodded slightly, her expression showing a hint of urgency.

The butler continued, "I'll go and inform them right away, but currently only Young Master Wu is home in the entire mansion."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinxin nodded again.

A complex emotion welled up inside me.

A short while later, Wu Qibai hurriedly came out of the house.

The moment I saw Tang Xinxin,

His steps suddenly stopped.

His face was full of surprise:

"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

"Xiaobai, why can't I get through to you? Did you deliberately block me?"

Without any pleasantries, Tang Xinxin asked directly.

"Oh dear..." Wu Qibai's face instantly turned incredibly embarrassed, blushing red to the roots of his ears.

He scratched his head subconsciously, his eyes darting around.

Don't know how to answer.

"Where is Brother Yu Ting?"

Tang Xinxin finally asked the question that was on her mind most.

There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

Wu Qibai hesitated for a moment,

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he said, "Brother Yuting is recuperating in the US."

Why won't you let me contact him?

Tang Xinxin's gaze was fixed on Wu Qibai.

His tone was accusatory.

Wu Qibai was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you must be tired. Come in first."

With that, he turned and hurried inside.

Tang Xinxin had no choice but to follow.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she felt an unusual silence.

The once bustling Luo residence now appears exceptionally empty and desolate, with even the sound of footsteps seeming amplified and echoing in the empty courtyard.

"Where are Grandpa and Aunt?" Tang Xinxin broke the silence and asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qibai paused for a moment, as if considering how to respond.

After a while, he slowly said, "They are all in the US."

"Could you tell me their specific address in which city in the US?" Tang Xinxin asked eagerly, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.

Wu Qibai sighed when asked, a troubled look on his face: "Sister-in-law, I really can't tell you. My uncle and grandfather will beat me to death if they find out."

Wu Qibai led Tang Xinxin into the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive and somber.

The heavy curtains were only partially drawn.

The faint light struggled to penetrate.

It casts dappled shadows on the ground.

Tang Xinxin saw the familiar living room,

Thinking back to how happy they were here during the summer vacation,

But now everything has changed...

Suddenly, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be controlled and burst forth instantly. She covered her face with her hands and cried loudly, her sobs filled with the grievances, worries, and longing that had accumulated over this period of time.

Wu Qibai stood there helplessly to the side.

Tang Xinxin's cries were like sharp knives, piercing his heart again and again, making him feel agitated.

He paced back and forth in the living room, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes clenching his fists, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, quickly walked to Tang Xinxin's side, and said urgently:

“Sister-in-law, please don’t cry. To tell you the truth, when Yu Ting was sent to the US, his condition was extremely critical. The doctors issued critical condition notices several times. He struggled between life and death for a long time, and finally, he underwent a heart transplant, which saved his life. He is still recuperating in the US now. As you know, the Luo family has only had one son for generations, and Yu Ting is the lifeblood of the Luo family. Grandpa has also said that we cannot allow anything to happen to Yu Ting. So, he can only come back after he has fully recovered in the US and completed his studies.”

When Tang Xinxin heard that Luo Yuting had suffered so much,

I felt as if my heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that I couldn't breathe.

She suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling and choked with sobs as she said:

"Xiaobai, I can stay with him, I can take care of him, why won't you let me see him? I want to stay by his side."

Wu Qibai looked at Tang Xinxin, his eyes filled with pity.

But after much hesitation, I decided to tell the truth:

"Hey, sister-in-law, let me tell you everything."

He took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself.

"After Yu Ting's accident, he was transferred to a hospital in the US. Grandpa was so worried that he almost fainted several times. Later, my uncle's friend Qiao Zhiyuan said that he knew a high monk who could help with the divination. After the divination, the high monk said, 'Little sister-in-law, you are Yu Ting's love tribulation, which is why Yu Ting was injured. Only when he leaves you and completely severs this love will he slowly recover.'"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinxin froze as if she had been frozen in place, her face still wet with tears, her eyes empty and blank.

She never imagined that she would become Luo Yuting's calamity.

Tears flowed silently again, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the sofa, leaving dark stains.

The words "love tribulation" were like a heavy shackle, binding her heart tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Xinxin slowly got up, her steps unsteady, as if she were walking on cotton.

Her eyes were vacant as she mechanically walked out. Wu Qibai called after her, but she seemed not to hear him.

At that moment, her mind was completely blank.

For his own good, they can't be together.

She left the Luo residence, distraught.

The winter wind swept across my face.

But it couldn't dispel the pain and despair in her heart.

Tang Xinxin walked down the street, looking lost and dejected.

The cold wind cut like a knife across my cheeks.

But she was completely unaware.

Wu Qibai's words kept echoing in her mind, each word like a heavy hammer, striking her heart hard.

"Luo Yuting, I'm sorry..."

Her lips parted slightly as she murmured to herself, but her voice was instantly swallowed up by the howling wind.

Memories flooded back like a tide, vivid images of my past life flashing before my eyes.

Luo Yuting held her body, his eyes filled with deep affection and determination, determined to share a bed in life and a grave in death with her.

He resolutely chose to end his own life.

They thought that in this life, they could escape the cruel tricks of fate and stay together forever.

But fate played another cruel joke on them.

In this life, Luo Yuting was injured again because of her, struggling on the edge of life and death.

Now, she has been identified by a high monk as his love tribulation.

This statement came as a bolt from the blue.

It caused her world to completely collapse.

"I'm actually your love tribulation..."

Her eyes welled up with tears again.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

The guilt and self-blame in my heart grew wildly like weeds.

Every cell is filled with pain.

She wished it were all just a nightmare.

After waking up, they can be just like before.

Strolling in the sunshine, carefree.

"To live well so that you can..."

She bit her lip, her nails digging deep into her palms.

It left behind crescent-shaped marks.

She knew that for Luo Yuting's safety and well-being, she had no choice but to leave.

Even if this decision will leave her heart riddled with holes, even if her world will be plunged into endless darkness from now on.

"I can only stay away from you..."

She took one last look in the direction of the Luo family's old house, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance.

Turning around, he walked away, step by step, with heavy steps, into the distance.
