Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six: Sorrow

  Yang Yu Xi woke up to find it was already the next day's noon, the weather in the south was still warm at this time, a sun like an egg yolk hung in the sky, soft beams of light warmly illuminated the world.

  But after all, some things have cooled down.

  Yang Yu Xi saw the pale bed sheet, pale quilt and that pale face on the bed opposite him, his head suddenly went "buzz" and exploded.

  In an instant, all the pain in his body was thrown to the back of his mind. He sat up with a start, like any frightened little white rabbit, facing that bed, his entire back stuck to the cold wall, tightly and fiercely stuck, as if this could make him farther away from that frightening bed.

  His hands clenched into fists under his body, on the same snow-white sheet.

  The chill of the wall behind him made him shiver, and the belated pain made his head dizzy, almost fainting again on the bed.

  He hastily closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and the dizziness in his mind receded wave after wave. His eyebrows, however, furrowed deeper and deeper.

  He let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes, hoping that what he had seen earlier was just an illusion caused by his severe injury.

  But sometimes, facts are just so harsh and cold, like that wall behind you!

  "Hmm..."

  Yang Yu Xi bit her lower lip.

  A heavy fist pounded on the bed, causing it to shake violently.

  "How despicable!"

  Scorching tears were swirling in her eye sockets.

  "Ouch"

  The door was opened at this time, and the sunlight outside rushed in eagerly, making the whole room brighter.

  The girl in blue skirt came in from the outside of the door, she was facing away from the door and her head was still outside looking around left and right, as if afraid of being discovered.

  It seemed like no one had seen her; the girl in blue let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest and turned around to close the door.

  As soon as he turned around, he saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him, and in those eyes, what intense sorrow was surging!

  The girl in blue skirt was frightened instantly and almost instinctively shouted out loud.

  "Ah!"

  At this lazy noon hour, the scream was extremely piercing and like a thunderbolt that made some of the nearby lazy people come to their senses.

  The whole neighborhood is stirred up, and many people are rushing over here.

  The blue-skirted girl's scream was piercing, but the boy on the bed merely furrowed his brow slightly, then leaned back against the wall with his eyes closed, his entire body weakly relying on the wall for support, only a small stream of sorrow spreading between his tightly knitted eyebrows.

  "Yu, Brother Yu Xue you woke up......?" The blue-robed girl came back to her senses and only then realized that Yang Yu Xue had woken up, a joyful expression suddenly appearing on his delicate face.

  Yang Yu Xi nodded slightly in response, as if she didn't even have the energy to say a word.

  The blue-skirted girl was naturally Blue Rain Yan, and after learning that Yang Yu Xi had been seriously injured, she couldn't help but want to come visit him. However, her senior sisters seemed to have some misgivings about Yang Yu Xi, watching him closely, so she hadn't found the time to come over yet. Just now, she had finally managed to sneak out, and saw that Yang Yu Xi was already awake. Originally, she should have been extremely joyful, but seeing Yang Yu Xi's current expression, her passionate heart was instantly extinguished. She quietly walked to Yang Yu Xi's bedside, her hands fidgeting at the hem of her clothes, and softly called out: "Brother Yu Xi."

  It's unclear whether it was because of this "Brother Yu Xi" that was much clearer than the previous one, but Yang Yu Xi's body trembled slightly, his eyelids twitched, and then seemed to use up all his strength to open them. Yang Yu Xi looked at the absolutely beautiful girl in front of him, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything, only raising his hand to signal her to sit down.

  He closed his eyes again, seemingly too weak to even keep them open for a moment longer.

  Lan Yu Yan pressed her skirt with her hand and sat down gently on the edge of the bed, beside Yang Yu Xi, just as she had six years ago.

  The girl's sparkling eyes never left the boy in her memory.

  Yang Yu Xi closed his eyes, and on the surface, there was no visible change, but in his heart, a turbulent river of emotions surged, with waves crashing against the shore, shattering everything into dust.

  He also wanted to light a dim oil lamp, burn a pot of not too strong wine, set up a few not too shabby small dishes, sit across the elm table with Lan Yuhen, and talk about their hometown accent. At that time, the sunlight outside the window should be very good, and the human relationship inside the window is also extremely good.

  But the door opposite the elm wood case suddenly opened, and the scene outside changed into a cold winter in December. The snowstorm poured in through the door, blowing out the oil lamp, making the old wine taste cool and thin, and scattering the small dishes everywhere. The young men and women shivered with fear, who still had the mood to talk about their past romantic affairs? They quickly got up to close the door!

  But the cruelest reality is that once the door opens, it can't be closed again. Even if it's closed, the warmth outside the window will never return, and the affection inside has already dissipated.

  The mood has changed, and everything has changed.

  Yang Yu Xi is like that now, his heart can't accommodate anything else, the whole person, the whole heart only has one thought.

  What's going on with Xia Jingqing?

  Although it is still unknown where Xia Jingqing and Qin Tiancheng are now, there will always be a day when they meet again. At that time, how should I start the conversation?

  That lively and passionate girl in memory, will she be disheartened because of this?

  Yang Yu Xi thought more and more, feared more and more, he didn't consider whether he was thinking too much at all.

  In this state, his teeth bit into his lower lip again, biting hard, and fresh blood seeped out from between the teeth.

  It was at this point that the door opened once again, but this time it wasn't just one person who entered, rather a group of people.

  Zhou Yuxiao, Huo Qima, Jiang Yize, Caihong Liuxiannü, Luowushen, Mudunyin, Rujiaosheng...

  It seemed like everyone who should be there was still there; if it weren't for the bed opposite him, Yang Yuxi would have been gone just like that.

  "Yu Xi, you're awake!"

  The first one to come to the bedside was naturally Zhou Yu Xiao, with a gentle and concerned tone.

  Behind her was Hu Qi Ma, although she didn't say anything, but concern could still be seen in her glass-like eyes.

  Afterwards came Rujisheng, followed by Mudiyin and others.

  Lan Yu Yan was lightly glared at by Zi Yun, and then frowned at by Zhou Yu Xiao Huo Qi Ma. Her face suddenly felt like it was burning, she hastily stood up from the bedside, stuttering as she walked to the back of Zi Yun, her head hung very low.

  But at this moment she is obviously not the focus, and everyone's attention quickly shifted to Yang Yuxi.

  Yang Yu Xi was still leaning against the wall, still closing her eyes, and seemed to have no intention of opening them. Only two lines of tear stains at the corners of her eyes reflected the warm sunlight outside the house.

  Yu Xi... Zhou Yu Xiao's joy in her heart suddenly decreased by half, worry reoccupying her heart, but the thousands of words on the tip of her tongue turned into just two words.

  Yang Yu Xi seemed to have just realized everyone's arrival, his two eyelids trembling as they opened.

  At this time, Rujisheng had already leaned over, stretched out his hand and placed it on his pulse, feeling for a moment.

  Yang Yu Xi didn't move, letting Rong Qiu Shen examine his own condition.

  "Qiu Sheng, how is Yu Xi doing?" Zhou Yuxiao asked.

  Luo Wushen also walked over with big strides, his complexion wasn't very good either. Not just him, Jiang Yize was also somewhat short of breath.

  "Qiusheng, how is he?" Luo Wuchang's voice was still as loud and clear as a bronze bell, but upon closer listening, one could detect a slight lack of energy.

  Rujiaosheng's furrowed brow relaxed a bit, and he withdrew his hand, saying: "Don't worry, Princess and City Master. Yuxi has awakened and is fine, just needs to rest and recover well. However..."

  "What's that?" Zhou Yu and Luo Wushen asked almost at the same time, the gentle female voice and the thick male voice paired together a bit unusual.

  Ru Qiu Sheng glanced at the two of them, but silently sighed and looked at the bed opposite Yang Yu Xi, his eyes complex.

  Zhou Yu Xiao and Luo Wu Shen were stunned for a moment, then they both understood. It wasn't just the two of them, everyone in the room had an unpleasant expression.

  Mudan sound didn't know when he had already fallen behind the crowd. He leaned against the door frame, his eyes gazing far away, lost in thought.

  "Alas..." Luo's long, godless sigh echoed through the scene. Among all the people present, he was the one who had the deepest relationship with Xia Yunxuan, and his face also showed the most profound sorrow. Everyone could feel that his breathing was getting faster and more disordered.

  "Lord of the castle, please restrain your grief." said Ru Qiusheng.

  Luo waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. Yang Yu Xi had already woken up, and with the passing of his old friend, he didn't have the heart to stay any longer. He turned around and left the house, leaving behind a slightly desolate figure.

  Lu Wu's god passed by Mu Chen's side, paused slightly, let out a soft bitter laugh and continued walking out.

  Majestic as Jiang Yize, at this time he could only shake his head and sigh, the injuries in his body made him cough lightly twice.

  Zi Wen patted his back anxiously, Jiang Yize waved his hand, but neither of them spoke.

  For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire house was oppressively terrifying, suffocatingly making it hard to breathe.

  Nobody spoke.

  After a while, someone broke the silence.

  This man was Yang Yu Xi, he shakily raised his right hand and pointed at Xia Yun Xuan's corpse. His eyes were empty and it was unclear who he was asking: "Does the Xia family know about this?"

  "Hasn't been officially announced yet, but rumors have already spread within the city. Lord Luo is being questioned by both the citizens and the Xia family, he's been very tired these past few days."

  Yang Yu Xi lowered his hand and nodded vaguely, no longer speaking.

  "After a long while, he asked again: 'Is it really hopeless?'"

  It seems like a useless sentence, but somehow asking it out loud gives me a tiny bit of hope.

  It was another long silence, with no one answering him, and the answer was already obvious.

  Ru Qiu Sheng walked over and patted his shoulder lightly, to be honest, he was also saddened by Xia Yunxuan's death. However, Yang Yu Xi's appearance made him somewhat puzzled, but he still comforted: "Yu Xi, don't be too sad, the battle between good and evil is inevitable, and casualties are unavoidable, you have to let go."

  "Bang!"

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly summoned some strength, and with a flash, he brushed away the hand that Rong Qiu Sheng had placed on his shoulder. His face didn't turn around even slightly, his eyes still empty, but he managed to shout out in a strained voice:

  "I can let it go, but can Jing Qing let it go?! She's just like that!!"
