The cold wind was piercing and heavy snow was flying.
In a manor on the outskirts of a city, a group of people were having a party. However, the atmosphere, which should have been high, was now particularly depressed.
Qi Linhan pressed his eyebrows, feeling restless whenever he thought of that frail figure.
Meanwhile, Lu Yunling lowered her eyes, concealing the gleeful smile in them.
Ye Anning finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did you call us here anyway?"
Shen Nian frowned: "If there is nothing, I will go back."
The others didn't say anything either, but their eyes were clearly filled with indifference.
Qi Linhan opened his mouth, and still said: "Sui Yan is with me."
Lu Yunling bit her lip: "I know you guys don't like her, but..."
Qi Linhan's voice turned cold: "Lu Yunling!"
Shen Nian also sneered coldly: "What about her? We do dislike Sui Yan. Besides, didn't Qi Linhan also hate her so much back then?" Sui Yan had always clung to him as Qiao Ze's childhood sweetheart, and forcibly broke up him and Shen Nian.
So Shen Nian had so much resentment towards Sui Yan.
Qi Linhan took a deep breath: "Yes, I know you don't like her. But now, she is dying." He spoke very calmly, but there was undeniable grief in his voice.
Hearing this, the people in the living room looked at Qi Linhan in astonishment.
Although they didn't like Sui Yan, and even hated her, they had never wanted her to die...
Qi Linhan smiled bitterly: "You always indiscriminately put the blame on her, when it was the person closest to her who hurt her the most."
Lu Yunling seemed to refute reflexively: "Brother Lin, but those things were indeed related to her..."
Qi Linhan glanced at her coldly. Yes, he had no evidence to prove that those things were not done by Sui Yan. He could only believe in Sui Yan himself.
Sui Yu and Sui Zhi were a little panicked. Sui Yan was their sister. Because of those messy things, they didn't care much about her, and had even spoken viciously to her before.
But they had never thought of letting her die...
Ye Anning was the daughter of Sui Yan’s stepmother. She was not related to Sui Yan by blood. But she was a little uneasy too. Sui Yan had caused her mother to miscarry in the past, and eventually lost her fertility.
Although Sui Yan was still young at that time, she was also punished afterwards. She was deliberately hit by a car, and has been limping slightly when walking ever since.
Later, Ye Anning couldn’t even hate her anymore, only because she had seen Sui Yan cry before.
Qiao Ze stood in the corner with a somewhat distracted look. Compared to the others, he had actually felt very guilty about Sui Yan for a long time. His fingers curled up, as if he wanted to say something.
Qi Linhan said in advance: "She misses you all very much. Even though you’ve said such vicious words to her and personally hurt her so much, she has never blamed you."
"I hope you can see her again properly... even if you have to pretend, now that she is going to die."
Shen Nian pursed her lips. Qi Linhan's words did move her. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Sui Yan died...
Everyone fell into contemplation, wondering what Qi Linhan meant by “indiscriminately putting the blame on her”...
Seeing that everyone's attitude seemed to have softened a little, Lu Yunling was about to add fuel to the fire with a few words. But at this moment, a projector lit up in the hall, showing a girl in her early twenties on the screen.
The girl was pale, but had a relaxed smile on her face. It was just that there was no sign of life in those pitch-black, hollow eyes.
She said, "Hello everyone, I heard them say that you came here, so I begged them to help me with this. I know you don't want to see me, but I'm afraid there are some things I won't be able to say when I die."
"Nian Nian, I never thought about breaking up between you and Brother Qiao Ze. I don't know why you would think that way about me, and I don't know if you will believe me now."
"Sister... I know you don't like me calling you that, but this is the last time." The girl coughed violently, as if there was nothing she could explain. "Cough, cough..."
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, staining the snow-white shirt, looking particularly eye-catching.
Her eyes began to lose focus. She gently shook her head: "Forget it, it seems there is nothing to say anyway. Just... goodbye then. I hope we never meet again in the next life... That's what you must be thinking too, right?"
The projection disappeared as her voice faded away. Qi Linhan felt unrestrained anxiety in his heart.
Just as he was about to say something, a servant suddenly came into the hall. The man's voice trembled a little: "Master Qi, Miss Sui just left the manor."
Qi Linhan was stunned. He almost reflexively ran out.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw two rows of footprints, already blurred, imprinted in the snow.
The others in the hall also chased out. Now they only hoped they could have a chance to make up for her. No matter whether those things in the past were true or false, the harm they caused her far exceeded what she could bear.
Qi Linhan followed the footprints forward. He didn't know how long he walked, only knowing that he finally saw her.
Snow stretched as far as the eye could see. Not far away, on a huge rock, lay a giant white wolf.
Curled up next to the white wolf was a girl. In this piercing cold wind, she only wore a shirt.
She was quiet, as if she would disappear the next second.
Hearing the sound, Sui Yan looked back, and seemed to see in a trance the teenager who had saved her from the fire, the teenager to whom she had given all her trust.
The white wolf beside her let out a low roar, a threat between wild beasts.
Sui Yan came back to her senses, and her eyes dimmed as she looked blankly at the snow around her.
Qi Linhan's voice trembled: "Sui Yan..."
Sui Yan was lost in thought again. She reached out to Qi Linhan and said in a voice that seemed to disappear at any time: "Qi Linhan, I want to go home."
Qi Linhan carefully picked her up and gently told her: "Okay, Sui Yan, I'll take you home."
The white wolf gently rubbed Sui Yan's calf, seeming reluctant to see her leave first. There was reluctance in its eyes.
Sui Yan's slender fingers gently hooked Qi Linhan's collar. She said, "Qi Linhan, I want to go home."
Qi Linhan pursed his lips tightly. He was about to comfort her when he heard her mumbled absently: "But it seems I don't have a home..." Her voice got smaller and smaller, until it was almost a murmur in the end.
As she spoke, her hand that was hooking Qi Linhan's collar also weakly dropped.
The people who had followed them looked at this scene incredulously...
But Qi Linhan didn’t notice anything. He lowered his head and carefully touched Sui Yan's forehead. Feeling her icy body, his eyes slowly turned red.
He held her and walked back step by step. He trembled and said, "Sui Yan, don't be afraid. I’ve taken you home."
He regretted it. If he had another chance, he would surely protect her well and not give anyone a chance to hurt her.
But she could no longer hear what he was thinking now.
Sui Yan died on her 20th birthday. She had been deserted by friends and relatives when alive, and died from illness. But after her death, she took everyone’s hearts away...
Although it was freezing weather, heavy rain suddenly poured down, and the one-foot-deep snow completely melted and then froze again.
Thunder rumbled loudly and lightning kept flashing. The cold was piercing in this winter.
Qi Linhan stood in front of a crystal coffin, staring blankly at the girl lying inside.
Qiao Ze said that Sui Yan had taken a lot of sleeping pills and committed suicide.
Her body was cold. Her exquisite features were still so beautiful. She had always been the most beautiful one, but at some point, she no longer cared about her face.
It seemed because Qi Linhan had said he hated her face.
Ever since seeing the projection, Shen Nian and Ye Anning felt they were wrong. Sui Yan used to be such an open and cheerful girl, so how could she commit suicide now?
They had ruined her with their own hands, transforming an optimistic and innocent young girl who now only sought death.
However, they would never be able to apologize to her, nor would they ever obtain her forgiveness.
Lu Yunling also had a grieved expression, but from an angle that others could not see, her eyes were cold.
Sui Yan, you are truly formidable, still able to make trouble for her even in death.
But no matter, she will eventually make everyone forget about Sui Yan, she will eventually make Qi Linhan fall in love with her.
The rain outside seemed to fall even harder, though it was daytime, the sky was pitch black.
Lightning bolt after lightning bolt, Qi Linhan's gaze stiffly turned towards the window. He arduously hooked the corners of his mouth, and murmured softly: "Ah Yan..."
Suddenly, a lightning bolt directly struck the manor, plunging the entire manor into darkness.
