I don't know why, but my heart suddenly hurt. I clutched my chest and bent down. For a moment, I couldn't breathe.

I looked at the courtyard in panic. I didn't know why, but I had a bad premonition. I immediately broke free from Ye Junli's embrace and ran inside in large strides.

The person who fell to the ground in the middle was none other than my younger brother, Zhou Nian, who was arguing with me just a moment ago.

"Doctor! The doctor. Doctor! " I shouted hysterically as I watched Xiao Nian sprawled on the ground, blood constantly flowing out from his body.

How could a person have so much blood? Was it dangerous for him to lose so much blood? I could no longer see anything else in my eyes.

"Zhou Xiang..." At this moment, Ye Junli squeezed his way in as well.

Ye Junli was stunned for a moment, then he squatted down and covered my eyes.

I was frantic to pry his hand away and curse him incoherently. If it wasn't for this man, Xiao Nian and I would have been living a good life, why would we go through all this, and what exactly happened? I was just quarreling with Xiao Nian, why would he choose to jump off a building?

I couldn't see anything, I could only hear the commotion that started once again. It seemed as if a doctor was examining Xiao Nian, and the words "I am hopeless" and "my injuries are too severe" still entered my ears.

"Don't... Xiao Nian... "No, don't..." I muttered, before closing my eyes and losing consciousness under Ye Junli's palms.

When I opened my eyes again, my mind was in a trance for a moment, completely blank. I couldn't remember what had happened until Ye Junli, who was sitting beside me, gently called out my name.

"Zhou Xiang, are you alright?" Ye Junli's expression remained impassive, but his eyes revealed a hint of concern.

I rolled my eyes, feeling like I'd forgotten something important.

I turned to look out the window and suddenly remembered what had happened.

I immediately sat up and grabbed Ye Junli's shoulder. "Where's my younger brother?" Where's Xiao Nian? Where is he? "

Ye Junli quickly stood up to stabilize me. My hands were still pierced with needles, and because I had already started to recover from my injuries, Ye Junli broke off my hand and comforted, "Zhou Xiang, don't be too agitated … …"

"Where's my brother? Tell me where he is! " I screamed at him.

Until now, my eyes were still blood-red, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Ye Junli was silent for a moment, then gently shook his head, "When your younger brother fell, there was no saving him …"

My mind went blank, as if I didn't understand what he was saying. I didn't understand. Xiao Nian was arguing with me just now, blaming me for being a dancer, and even asked my mother why she didn't come to see him. Xiao Nian was obviously fine, why did he say that he was hopeless?

"Ye Junli..." Bring me to see Xiao Nian, I want to see him, he's fine right? " I didn't care about myself. I pulled out the needle from my hand, jumped off the bed, and pulled Ye Junli along with me as we walked out.

Ye Junli stood in his original spot without moving, using the opposite force to grab onto me and said, "Zhou Xiang, regardless of whether you can accept it or not, your little brother is already dead …"

"You liar!" I shouted.

These people are lying to me! Xiao Nian was still alive and well. Xiao Nian was so pitiful, yet he didn't manage to live past a day of good fortune. After stabilizing himself with great difficulty, how could he bear to leave?

He must have been angry, he thought I was a dancer in a bar, he thought I hadn't let him see his mother, he must have been angry, that's why he avoided me.

"Zhou Xiang, calm down, he's already dead. You …"

"Shut up!" I turned and glared at him.

Who was this person and why did he have to curse Xiao Nian? Xiao Nian was only seventeen years old, how could he leave?

"Zhou Xiang! Look at me! " Ye Junli suddenly flew into a rage and pulled me in front of him. He looked me in the eye and said, "Listen to me! Your brother is hopeless! He's down in the morgue right now, so stop fooling yourself! "

Ye Junli's words seemed to have some magic to it, causing my thoughts to return to reality. In front of my eyes, the scene of Xiao Nian lying in a pool of blood suddenly surfaced.

"Young Master Li... "My brother is gone …?" I asked him absentmindedly.

Ye Junli nodded and embraced me. "Don't worry. I'll still be here in the future."

His words made me break down and cry in his arms.

I never thought that Xiao Nian would leave me one day. In my heart, he had always been that obedient boy, and no matter how late I got off work, he would always cook dinner for me at home. The two of us had been living together for so many years, how could he suddenly bear to leave me?

If I did it again, I wouldn't hit him. I wouldn't argue with him about it. It's normal for him to look down on me as a dancer. Why do I have to hold on to my pitiful pride?

"Don't cry anymore. Your brother has left. You still have a long life ahead of you. You need to become strong." Ye Junli urged in my ear.

Tears flowed down my face expressionlessly. My heart was already numb from the pain. "Ye Junli, forget it. My younger brother is no longer here. I don't have any more thoughts. I beg of you, please let me go."

Just as Ye Junli was about to speak, someone knocked on the door of the ward. I turned around and saw two policemen walk in.

"Hello, are you Zhou Nian's relative?" a policeman asked politely.

Xiao Nian is clearly not here, why can't these people just let him continue on his journey?

"What are you guys doing?" Ye Junli asked coldly.

"It's like this, we received the call from the police, and just now we investigated the scene, the on-site evidence shows that the victim, Zhou Nian, did not die from suicide, but from killing him." A policeman said emotionlessly.

"Kill him?" I immediately looked at them. "What does he mean by that?" My brother didn't jump off the building by himself, but was pushed down by someone? "
