Chapter 1430 -1427: Can You Give Up on Life?

When Qiao Muyun rushed up to the terrace, still unsettled, he heard these words.

“Dear sister, you say you have no hope and you don’t want to live anymore just because your family has abandoned you. Is that really how you can think? Can you really give up on life just like that? Do you know how many times one must go through reincarnation to come to this world once?” Zi Ruoxi steadied herself and continued, slowly softening her heart with her words, “Do you know, compared to many others, you are so fortunate. Although your family abandoned you, at least you had a family. When you were young, they loved you… You still have memories worth having, you are lucky. Some people are abandoned by their parents as soon as they are born and grow up in orphanages. Do you know how difficult their situation is… enduring scorn, insults, and abuse, living through the most miserable childhood, yet they still survive.”

Zi Ruoxi observed the other’s slight wavering, as if she was carefully listening to her words. However, her gaze still held an element of uncertainty. Zi Ruoxi felt a stir in her heart.

“Are you looking at me? You don’t need to doubt what I just said, I am an orphan, I have never received my parents’ love. Are you curious about the hat I’m wearing on my face…” At this, Zi Ruoxi paused, sensing she had fully captured the other’s attention, she slowly approached the girl, her voice haunting yet clear, “I was disfigured by an accident. I was once beautiful, now… I am a ruin…”

At that, the other person let out an “Ah!” in surprise. Her sorrowful dark eyes showed shock.

Facing the girl’s expression, Zi Ruoxi was not surprised, she only responded with a faint smile.

“Once, I was like you, in despair and contemplating death, thinking of heaven’s injustice and the world’s cruelty… But when I truly faced death, I didn’t have the courage. No, this isn’t courage; this is weakness, this is surrender to death, an irresponsibility to oneself, a crime against life!” Speaking to here, Zi Ruoxi herself was moved, saying with deep emotion, “So, dear sister, there is no obstacle in life that cannot be overcome. Do not let your life have regrets, especially since you are not alone. You have a sister who loves you. If you are willing, I can also be your sister…”

The other person couldn’t articulate her feelings at the moment, her melancholic dark eyes were gleaming.

“Sis… sis…” She choked out, tears melting the ice on her pale face. The tight line of defense seemed to have loosened.

“Hey…” Zi Ruoxi responded, then affectionately said, “Come on, dear, come to sister.”

Just now, while completely focused on persuading the suicidal girl, Zi Ruoxi hadn’t noticed Qiao Muyun’s approach, but now she caught a glimpse of him and saw who had come. Her eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

Before she could speak, Qiao Muyun smiled at her, nodded, and walked towards the girl with suicidal thoughts.

“No matter what your reasons, the suffering your sister here has endured is beyond your imagination, and she got through it. Why can’t you? Do not treat your life as a game, it’s not fun at all!” Qiao Muyun said sternly, then extended his arm. Turning gentle, he said, “Come, give me your hand.”

As the girl extended her hand again, her gaze was directed towards Zi Ruoxi. The message was promptly conveyed to her.

“He is also my brother. Dear sister, you now have another brother,” Zi Ruoxi said tenderly.

The girl finally extended her hand. Qiao Muyun quickly reached out, grabbed her arm, and then embraced her waist. The girl tilted towards him, tumbling down the over one-and-a-half-meter-high railing. Qiao Muyun leaned forward, caught her firmly, and lifted her, then slowly set her on the ground.

Zi Ruoxi smiled. She knew this young life had finally found the courage to continue. Yes! No matter how desperate, one must never give up…

Death… is so easy, yet it’s the saddest, most shameful desecration and blasphemy of life—

This sentence was said by herself. In some sense, it was also a wake-up call for herself!

Zi Ruoxi, you cannot lose, you cannot lose, you can definitely hold on, you must…

……

As night descended, the lamps flickered, and the Tokyo Prince Hotel was unlike other places at night, remarkably quiet.

After dinner, Zi Ruoxi brought the girl to her room. The two sat cross-legged on the floor mat, Zi Ruoxi gently combed and tidied the girl’s hair.

Through their conversation, Zi Ruoxi learned that the girl’s name was Xiao Shan, and incredibly, her sister was Xiao Xue. It seemed… this girl’s sister, Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, the name sounded familiar, she must have heard it before. Suddenly, an amber iris flashed across her mind, could it be that girl… Although it was just a chance meeting, that tear-streaked face left a deep impression on her that morning.

“Xiao Shan, you said your sister is called Xiao Xue, right?” Zi Ruoxi asked, puzzled.

“Yes. That’s right,” Xiao Shan quickly replied.

“You said your sister worked at a noble family’s house in America, then disappeared. Do you know the name of the place where she worked?” Zi Ruoxi asked again, wanting to find some clues.

Xiao Shan thought for a while, then slowly shook her head, dropping her eyes, saying no more. Her small face was full of worry.

Zi Ruoxi sighed, gently stroking her soft hair.

“You ran away, your father doesn’t know you left America. So, Xiao Shan… do you have any plans for the future?” Zi Ruoxi asked softly again, thinking that her sister’s path was cut off, and clearly, she couldn’t return to her father.

After a long while, Xiao Shan lifted her face.

“… Zi Ruoxi, I don’t know where I should go either…” Xiao Shan sighed slowly, her delicate face full of worry, she said sadly, “Maybe I shouldn’t exist in this world… I feel… so lost…”

The sound of her sorrow touched Zi Ruoxi’s heartstrings.

“That’s foolish talk! Xiao Shan, you’re not alone now, you know? There’s me, Qiao Muyun, and Li Yaxuan, we’re all here with you.” Zi Ruoxi said gently, looking into her bright black eyes, seriously asking, “Xiao Shan, now Zi Ruoxi can’t accompany you to find your sister, I have to go to Country H for surgery. Will you come with us to Country H?”
