She didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at the fire. She didn't have the intention of getting up, nor did she have the intention of crying.
Situ Yeyu was very surprised by this reaction, but he also held his anger in.
"What? Do you want to pretend to be stupid, or do you want to follow Nangong Yi?" Situ Yeyu raised his eyebrows.
Chu Ning still ignored him, completely ignoring his words and even completely ignoring him.
"I'm talking to you!"
Seeing Chu Ning's nonchalant attitude, Situ Yeyu's anger rose again. She reached out a hand and grabbed Chu Ning's neck, forcing her to sit up.
Chu Ning was breathing heavily, her face slowly turned from white to green, then from green to purple, and her originally bright and colorful eyes became dull and empty.
Still, he did not speak, treating him as air.
Situ Yeyu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were popping out and his fingers were pinching her throat. But in the blink of an eye, he let go of her again.
Instinct made her breathe greedily, and she coughed with both hands around her neck.
Situ Yeyu stood up and went back to his seat. He symbolically patted the dust off his hands, as if he had touched something dirty.
"If you want to die, I won't stop you. However, you can't die that easily. Moreover, Nangong Yi's calamity had lasted for thousands of years. How could she die so easily? When he comes back with your father, I wonder what her expression will be when she sees you buried in the sea of fire. "
Hearing this, Chu Ning's dull eyes regained some color, "What did you say?"
Situ Yeyu's lips curved upwards, "What does it matter what I say?" I've done what I wanted you to do. Nangong Yi has indeed fallen in love with you, so, Ah Ning, it's time for you to succeed and leave. "
"What nonsense are you spouting?! I will not leave him, absolutely not! "
Situ Yeyu raised his eyebrows. Within the flickering flames, he appeared even more domineering. "What you said doesn't count." As he was speaking, his gaze suddenly shifted towards the direction behind Chu Ning, "Yo, you did come back alive, but the situation doesn't look good."
Chu Ning followed Situ Yeyu's gaze and turned around. She saw Nangong Yi and Si Cheng, as well as two of her heavily injured subordinates pushing a bed over.
Chu Ning was initially overjoyed, but when she saw the miserable white cloth on the bed, her heart felt as if it had suddenly sunk from the sky to the bottom of a lake. It was so cold that it made her body tremble violently.
Situ Yeyu's gaze also darkened slightly, but very quickly, his face was filled with a harmonious smile, as if he was extremely happy to see them like this.
"Aiyee, what a mess." Situ Yeyu stood up and walked over first. "The ancients say that there is no need to hurry over there. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen to you. It's really sad. "
Situ Yeyu's hypocritical words caused Nangong Yi to narrow her eyes slightly. They were so cold that they could freeze someone to death. However, Situ Yeyu seemed to not have noticed his gaze.
"This is a matter between brothers. Mister Situ, you shouldn't be so warm-hearted, right?"
Nangong Yi's gaze turned cold as she moved past Situ Yeyu and onto Chu Ning.
Chu Ning was already completely like a puppet. His eyes blankly stared at the bed covered in white cloth. Only after a long time did she finally raise his eyes and look at Nangong Yi, stiffly walking over.
Anyone who wasn't blind could see that she was afraid, but forced herself to approach the bed bravely.
Situ Yeyu didn't stop her. His gaze slowly sank down until it became a bottomless pool.
She finally walked to the bedside and stopped, but she lost the courage to lift up the white slip.
"I'm sorry, Ah Ning. It was my fault. I couldn't do it." Nangong Yi gazed at Chu Ning, her eyes filled with deep regret and guilt.
Chu Ning stared at the sheets, slowly shaking her head, "No..." No... Impossible. This isn't my dad, you're kidding, right? " Helplessly, she took a step back and distanced herself from the bed.
"Ah Ning …"
Nangong Yi painfully called out to her. This was the first time he felt such a heartache. It was so painful that it felt like someone had grabbed his heart.
Only then did he realize that when Chu Ning was in pain, he would be more upset than Chu Ning.
"No, this is not my father, this is not. He must have come home. He must have been waiting for me at home. I want to go back and find him! "
Chu Ning turned around and ran.
A self-deceiver would normally make people feel especially disgusted, but at this time, the self-deceiving Chu Ning made people feel like she was an injured and lonely fairy, fleeing in fear in the dark, trying to find an exit into the light.
Such a Chu Ning only made people's hearts ache.
"Ah Ning!" Nangong Yi took two steps forward and caught Chu Ning, "Look at the reality clearly, your father is gone!"
He knew it was cruel to do so, but if one could not face reality and remained hidden in one's own world, the situation would only get worse and worse.
"I'm not looking, I'm not listening. You're all lying to me, you bunch of big liars, big scoundrels!" Chu Ning hammered and hammered, closing her eyes and covering her ears, willful and stubborn, like a seven or eight year old child.
Situ Yeyu stood at the side, silently watching from the start. The corner of his mouth was still perfectly curved upwards.
It was as if he was watching a magnificent drama of sorrow.
However, his eyes had become exceptionally dark, as if they were as cold as the night.
He quietly watched as Nangong Yi consoled Chu Ning, watching as Chu Ning struggled willfully in Nangong Yi's arms, letting out her feelings to the fullest.
At some point, the wind had picked up, making the fire roar, and the white cloth covering the corpse had been blown away by the wind.
Chu Ning suddenly quieted down.
Under the white cloth, under the light of the fire, that incredibly thin face, if it wasn't her father, then who could it be?
She wanted to deceive herself, to the point where she didn't even dare to stretch her hand out to lift it up. However, as of this moment, there was nothing she could do to deceive herself.
She was finally the only one left in the world.
Without her mother's warm embrace and her father's firm arms, she was like a lonely island in a vast ocean. From now on, she could only walk alone in the mortal world …
When he was in pain, when he was sad, when he was sad, when he was in despair, there was no place for him to hide. Everything that had been beautiful in the past was like a dream.
She slowly walked over to the bed and knelt down. She didn't cry out like she expected, nor did she faint like when her mother had died.
He just knelt there, holding his father's arm tightly. "Dad, I know you must be tired, right? If you're tired, go to sleep. If you're asleep, you don't have to worry about anything. I will be fine, so you must be fine too. "
On the way to heaven, the sun would definitely shine. It was always a thousand times stronger than this world, which seemed to be filled with wind and rain.
In this way, your daughter will no longer be a burden to you, and no one will be able to threaten your life.
I've dragged you down with me in this life. In the next life, you must never meet me again. Don't raise a daughter who will only cause trouble like me …
She lay on her father's chest and patted him as if he were really just sleeping.
Many of the men who did not know what kinship and love were could not help but feel their eyes go sore, their eyes actually turning slightly red.
