Chapter 279 (2/2)

His words were like heavy stones falling down on their hearts.  They could tell in that moment that this was an incredibly terrifying man because with just his voice alone, he could cause such tremors in their hearts.

Ye Tian Xie hugged Chen Xue as he left, not continuing on the journey to America……In that moment, other than going where Chen Xue wanted, he did not have any other goals.  He didn't know what he should do to save this young girl's life.  He walked back on the road he used to come here, with each step feeling incredibly heavy, almost as heavy as his heart.

The green gra.s.sy plain was boundless.  There was a little stream flowing through the plain, not knowing where it was going, but it released the pleasant sound of water flowing.  The gra.s.s was green and the river stream was clear.  In the polluted capital city, this was like the final pure land on the outskirts of the city.

When the two people Zuo Po Jun arranged sent them here, they silently left.  Other than the occasional bird call or the sound of insects, there was only the sound of the gentle breeze.  Looking around, there was not a trace of another person.

”Do you like this place?”  He asked with a faint smile.

”Un…..So beautiful.”  Chen Xue's star like eyes looked around, looking over everything around them.  Today, she could finally see the most pure and beautiful natural scenery.  The scenery she saw at this moment was enough to completely satisfy her.

”Then let's come here everyday from tomorrow on to play, alright?”  The clear and pleasant wind had a kind of biting cold to it.  Ye Tian Xie looked forward, speaking with a faint smile.

”I wish…..I could come here every day.”  Chen Xue's eyes reflected the pure green colour, that was as pure as her heart.  Slowly, she leaned her head against Ye Tian Xie's shoulder and said in a weak voice, ”Big brother, let me lie in your chest, alright?”

Ye Tian Xie's eyes slightly trembled, but he sat down on the gra.s.s and carefully hugged Chen Xue's weak body in his chest.  Although it was his first day meeting her, in this short amount of time, he had formed a deep string of emotions with her that could not be broken.  He was willing to be reckless for her and he felt bad for her……He even felt pain for her.

”Big brother, why are you…..so good to me?”  She laid there in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, speaking in a faint voice.

”Because I like Chen Xue.”  Ye Tian Xie said in a gentle voice.

”Un……Hee.”  She gave a laugh.  Although that laugh was soft due to her weakness, it was like the charming sound of an immortal, shaking Ye Tian Xie's heart.  ”I am…..really happy……Big brother, can you…..call me Xue'er like elder sister?”

”Xue'er…..”  He looked down and looked at the young girl lying in his embrace.  His hand was softly caressing her hair.

”Un…..Big brother, can you agree…..to Xue'er's…..request…..?”  Her voice was becoming even weaker, weak to the point that Ye Tian Xie's heart filled with intense pain.  His heart told him that if this girl were to really leave right now, he would go crazy and do something that even he did not dare think about.

”Xue'er, tell me…..I'll agree to anything you say.”  He spoke in a voice that was slightly trembling.  Because this…..was her final…..final request and final desire.

”Big brother…….Promise Xue'er that you will let…..elder sister live in your home, alright?  I want elder sister…..to no longer suffer any pain at all.”

”Alright…..Alright, I let Chen Xin stay in my home, never letting her leave.  I will protect her, not letting anyone bully her…..I will let her have peace and happiness forever, not suffering any pain.”  His voice was slightly trembling and even his body began to tremble.  He used his most firm and most honest voice to speak in her ears, giving her a commitment that he would never break in his life.

Even with her life ending, she was still worried about her elder sister……For such a good girl, why would she need to suffer such a bitter life.

”Hee……Big brother, you really are good……In this world, you are like elder sister.  You treat Xue'er the best.”  She closed her eyes in satisfaction and felt her body become lose strength.  She muttered, ”Before meeting big brother, I had thought that when I died, it would be elder sister being with me…..In the end, I never thought……that it would be with big brother…..in big brother's embrace.  So comfortable….I wish…..I wish I could always stay like this…..”

His embrace was so warm.  She already could not remember how long it had been since she had been loved and protected like this.  She clinged to this kind of feeling.  Being able to slowly end her life in this feeling, she had no fear of dying at all.

”What nonsense are you saying?  Xue'er…..how could you die.  Didn't you say that….you would marry me?  You can't break your promise.”  Ye Tian Xie looked up and in his line of sight, the green gra.s.s had turned to the grey colour of death.

”Big brother….I like you…..I really like you…..If there is another life…..Even if elder sister likes big brother, I will definitely…..be selfish and marry you…..”

Her small hands were pressed against his chest and with the last bit of strength she had, she gave him this beautiful vox.

”Xue'er……”

”Big brother…..”  Chen Xue looked up and her eyes began to lose focus as she stared at the distant sky.  Her voice was as soft as the most gentle breeze, ”In this world…..Is there really a heaven…..”

In this world, was there really a heaven?

She honestly looked in the sky, looking at Ye Tian Xie above her.  In her eyes, her mind, and her soul, she was forever imprinting his image…..

Her eyes lost the final colour and they slowly closed.  That little hand on his chest slowly fell down, falling limply to the ground.  Her face was covered in a satisfied little smile, but the corner of her eyes had a single clear tear fall down.

Even though she suffered through her pain, she had never shed a single tear before.

The world became quiet as if it had died.  The gentle breeze became piercingly ice cold.  Ye Tian Xie hugged the little girl as he gritted his teeth and tightly closed his eyes.  He tightly gripped his fists, as if he wanted to destroy his own bones…..But he, could not feel any pain at all.
