Chapter 1228 - 1168: Struggle of a Cornered Beast (Part 2)
Shi Nuan remained silent, because from Wang Sai’s expression and the meaning of his words, she could feel that he seemed to have ultimately failed to save his brother.
Indeed, Wang Sai continued, "Unfortunately, I was born frail and sickly. Although my blood sample matched my brother’s, several physical examinations showed that doctors said I couldn’t pair up. If I did pair up, saving my brother would mean I had to die..."
Shi Nuan’s fingertips trembled slightly.
Wang Sai took a deep breath and continued, "I was too young to remember, but my grandmother told me later. My brother was lying on the hospital bed, looking at me, held by my mother, and said: ’Little brother is so cute, don’t harm him...’
At this point, Wang Sai’s eyes turned red, and Shi Nuan’s nose also tingled a bit.
This is a very sad story, although Shi Nuan is not overly sentimental, she has also experienced the death of a loved one.
She understands that kind of pain!
She said, "Things have passed now, you are alive and well, I believe your brother’s soul in heaven would feel relieved!"
Wang Sai bitterly smiled: "Right. I’ve always thought so, so I’ve always wanted to live earnestly and warmly, but for nearly twenty years, I haven’t achieved it, because the impact of my brother’s death on my family was too great.
My mother often cries holding my brother’s photos over the years, my grandmother too. She’s old and hasn’t had much education, often murmuring in front of me why my health wasn’t a bit better, just a bit better, then I could’ve saved my brother...always, until I met Xiao Ning..."
Wang Sai’s expression softened, saying, "Xiao Ning really is a very lovely and sunny girl. Yes, sunny. Ever since I met her, I felt like my dim life instantly brightened...
I’ve always been curious about why she can stay so full of energy every day, never troubled, only joy in life, no sadness. I admire her, and I really like her, really, I especially like her..."
Shi Nuan said, "Xiao Ning is indeed a very likable girl. It’s not strange that you like her!"
Actually, Shi Nuan mostly understands what Wang Sai is feeling.
In the past ten years, she also felt like the world was dim until she met Song Yansheng.
Ou Xiaoning is the sunshine in Wang Sai’s life, and Song Yansheng is the sunshine in hers.
Ou Xiaoning and Song Yansheng are two completely different people, but they both illuminated their lives.
Wang Sai said, "Yes, after being with Xiao Ning, I felt my whole life changed. Every day is full of vitality. As long as I see her, my heart feels warm. I really want to be good to her forever. I once promised in front of you all to care for Xiao Ning for a lifetime. At that time, I wasn’t lying; I truly meant it..."
"If so, why give up now?" Shi Nuan looked at him, saying, "Wang Sai, you’ve been in a relationship with Xiao Ning for nearly four years, you should know, Xiao Ning appears to be carefree, indifferent to everything, but she has a very fragile heart. After breaking up with you, she hasn’t been doing well..."
"I know..." Wang Sai said, "I know all this, but I have no way, absolutely no way..."
Shi Nuan furrowed her brows, remembering Wang Sai mention his brother earlier, is there a connection?
Shi Nuan asked, "Could it be that you...you are like your brother..."
"No..." Wang Sai said, "This time, it’s not me, it’s my father... lung cancer, late stage!"
Shi Nuan was stunned.
Wang Sai said, "I know you must be wondering why my father is ill, yet I broke up with Xiao Ning... I told you before, because of my brother’s death, all these years, my entire family, including me, has lived in pain. Now my father’s lung cancer is actually related to my brother’s matter. My grandmother tearfully told me that before my brother’s death, my father never smoked. He picked up the habit afterward, and it’s because of my brother that he got ill..."
Shi Nuan said, "...So what you mean is, you don’t want Xiao Ning to live in such an atmosphere at your home, hence the breakup?"
Wang Sai did not deny it. He said, "I understand my family situation too well. During this period, my mother and grandmother have been crying non-stop. I often don’t dare go home, always feeling oppressed by a heavy air. In the past, Xiao Ning changed me. When I was with her, I also hoped to bring her to my home, to change my whole family, but now...I’m not sure anymore. Xiao Ning is such a sunny and healthy girl, I can’t let her become filled with sorrow and lose joy because of me..."
