CHAPTER 856: CHAPTER 451:

So none of this matters to her.

"Anyway, I’m dead. You all can do whatever you want. You can stop me once, but can you stop me every time? Xu Shaodong, I just want to be myself. Is that so difficult?"

Xu Wei let out a bitter smile.

In his eyes, there was deep sarcasm and sorrow.

Xu Shaodong knew that Xu Wei was resolute in her attitude and clearly harbored a desire to die.

Xu Wei was also a stubborn person by nature.

He didn’t want to see Xu Wei die. He reached out to caress Xu Wei’s face, "Xu Wei, don’t be like this. Living is not easy; once you’re dead, it all ends. Please don’t do this. Jiang Xun is a good person. What I can’t give you, he will replace me..."

"What are you saying?"

Xu Wei could no longer control herself. She looked at Xu Shaodong in disbelief.

Xu Shaodong had never said such words to her before, but now he was saying them. Was it sincere or just a deliberate attempt to console her, to prevent her death?

Xu Wei could not hold back any longer, tears falling like rain, "Xu Shaodong, just tell me the truth, you love me too, don’t you? You’re just stuck because of that identity, and you can’t be with me, right?"

Xu Wei’s voice was hoarse to the extreme, and finally, she couldn’t even speak.

Xu Shaodong didn’t answer.

But to Xu Wei, the silence was already the best answer.

At this moment, Xu Wei could no longer restrain her emotions. She reached out to embrace Xu Shaodong, burying her head in his chest, "I knew you liked me too. If you had admitted it earlier, we wouldn’t have ended up like this. Do you know how hurt I was by Jiang Xun...?"

At the mention of Jiang Xun, Xu Wei couldn’t control her emotions.

Her body started to tremble violently.

Because she didn’t love him, she felt so disgusted when Jiang Xun forced her.

Xu Shaodong patted her back, "Xu Wei, don’t think about these things anymore. We were born at the wrong time. In this life, you’re destined to be just my sister, not my wife. I’m planning to be with Jiang Wanxing, not Lin Qing. I hope you’ll be happy with Jiang Xun."

As he spoke, Xu Shaodong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

But Xu Wei clearly saw the redness in his eyes.

Xu Wei gently touched his face: "Xu Shaodong, can you be a little braver for me? I’m willing to take ninety-nine steps towards you, you just need to take one step."

Xu Shaodong grasped her hand, his voice hoarse, "Xu Wei, I’m sorry."

Xu Wei closed her eyes, filled with sadness, "Xu Shaodong, don’t be so cruel."

Letting her see a glimpse of hope only to extinguish that flame himself.

Xu Shaodong just gently patted her head.

At that moment, Xu Wei suddenly wanted to ignore everything.

She stood on tiptoe, reached out to hook Xu Shaodong’s neck, and kissed him.

Xu Shaodong’s eyes widened immediately, instinctively wanting to push Xu Wei away.

But inexplicably, he couldn’t bear to.

He let Xu Wei kiss him.

After a while, Xu Wei let go of him and looked up, "Why didn’t you push me away?"

Xu Shaodong wiped his mouth, his voice hoarse, "This doesn’t mean anything."

Xu Wei’s heart went completely cold. She closed her eyes and said, "You can go."

Xu Shaodong hesitated but still said, "Xu Wei, don’t do anything foolish, and don’t get stuck in a dead-end."

Xu Wei saw that even at this time, he was still saying these things.

Finally, she couldn’t control herself and shouted in anger, "Get out."

Xu Shaodong left in silence.

Xu Wei looked at the bloody dagger lying on the ground and suddenly felt that everything was meaningless. Maybe she should have accepted her fate long ago.

Not long after, Jiang Xun came in from outside.

When he saw the bloodstained dagger, he was shocked, "Xu Wei, don’t do anything foolish, all the mistakes are mine."

Xu Wei lifted her eyelids to glance at him, her expression blatant with disgust, "Get out."

Jiang Xun refused to leave and approached, "Let me see quickly, are you hurt anywhere?"

Xu Wei immediately yelled, "Get away, don’t touch me."

Jiang Xun’s touch would remind her of the stickiness of that night.

It made her sick to her stomach.

Jiang Xun, however, said, "I won’t touch you, but you need to let me make sure you’re not hurt."

Xu Wei, seeing she couldn’t resist, quickly shouted, "That’s Xu Shaodong’s blood."

Jiang Xun was stunned, then finally, his apprehension subsided.

He no longer forced Xu Wei.

He softly said, "Xu Wei, I know I was wrong that day, but don’t hurt yourself. If you’re really unhappy, you can hit me or scold me."
