Destined with You-Chapter 1223 - 1228: Stamina Improved by 4

"My dear brother, I really want to know, were you relieved or disappointed that I didn’t die?" Bai Ruiqing’s voice was soft due to his weakness.

But each and every word from him was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into Bai Jingqing’s heart.

"First, focus on your recovery. We can talk about everything else once you’re well again."

"Recover? Physically, yes. But how to mend my heart? Bai Jingqing, I hate you!" Tears flowed down from the corners of Bai Ruiqing’s eyes.

He hated him, why did he steal the only woman he had ever loved in his life?

It could have been anyone, but why did it have to be him, his own older brother?

When Bai Ruiqing slit his wrist, he genuinely wished to die!

He wanted to see, once he’s dead, how could his beloved brother live peacefully with Bai Qianqian.

"Ruiqing, your older brother will always be your older brother. Please take care of yourself first, we can talk about anything else once you’re well again. I... will respect your opinions."

When Bai Jingqing said these words, other than his lips turning pale, there was no other unusual display. Only he knew the depth of the pain he was enduring at that moment.

"Take care, take care..."

Bai Jingqing repeated these words to himself, then staggered out of the hospital room. Just as he stepped outside, he couldn’t hold it back anymore, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

If love could ever be the cruellest, it wouldn’t be that she doesn’t love you, or you not loving her. Instead, it’d be that two people are deeply in love yet they cannot be together. Even if they have exhausted all means, sacrificed their lifetime’s fortune, they still can’t be together. They can watch, but not embrace. They can think of each other, but can’t own each other.

Bai Jingqing understood that without Bai Qianqian, his world would be lonely and barren.

Without her, his living was the same as being dead!

...

Slowly Bai Ruiqing’s health improved. Meanwhile, Bai Qianqian tried her best to bury all thoughts of the Bai brothers and carry on her daily routine as if nothing happened.

She laughed and joked around with her classmates, indulged in all sorts of interesting activities. However, Gu Qingxin knew she was not doing well.

Bai Qianqian was such a girl, that even in her toughest times, she chose to hide her pain deep inside, putting on a nonchalant facade, whereas her heart was bleeding uncontrollably.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t burst into tears midway through her laughter, or space out amidst the fun and games.

But in this world, good friends can help with everything but not matters of the heart.

As a friend, the only thing one could do is silently accompany her, lending her a shoulder to lean on when she needed one.

...

Ye Yingsu’s injuries healed, but Lan Liehuo demoted her to a servant, now she had to do all sorts of hard labor every day.

Ye Yingsu was holding a rag, vigorously wiping a glass panel that was two and a half meters tall and three and a half meters wide. But the more she wiped, the dirtier it seemed.

It would have been better if she hadn’t tried to clean it at all.

Now dressed in servant’s attire, she was even required to wear a white headscarf. Although Ye Yingsu did not pay much attention to her appearance, she despised this outfit to death.

"Ye Yingsu, look at what you’ve done! I’ve told you so many times, and yet you still can’t do anything properly!"

A maid came over and began to criticize her.

Ye Yingsu was already frustrated as it was, and now being criticized like this, she angrily threw the cloth in her hand into the bucket. The water splashed out, soaking the maid.
