Chapter 612 - Even Without You, Theres Nothing to Fear (2/2)

”How is she?” Gao Yi asked with his eyelid slightly converged as though he only asked about it casually.

Gao Xin continued to step. Every step he took, he destroyed the roses till red liquid was leaking from the petals. The liquid was as red as blood which made his skin stand. He hurriedly kept his legs and suddenly remembered that his brother had asked about something previously.

”Brother, what did you ask me just now?” He scratched his hair. Sorry, he still could not remember it.

”Nothing much.” Gao Yi turned around and looked into the distance like he was thinking of something unpredictable.

Gao Xin was also leaning against the guard rail like him, just that he was further away from the bloody garden.

”Brother, do you regret it?”

Gao Yi's lips twitched and said, ”What is there to regret? Since I've made that kind of decision, I need to be responsible for the consequences. Perhaps we are doing something we regret every day, but if time could go back, perhaps the different choices that we make will still end up like this in the long run.”

”Hang in there, Brother.” Gao Xin held Gao Yi's shoulders.

”You, too,” laughed Gao Yi at last. ”I hope that when you return, you will be completely different from now.”

”Of course.” Gao Xin smiled and revealed his sparkling white teeth. Actually, for certain things, if one looked at it from another angle, one could really let go of the past and see something new. Sister Ruoxin was right: the Bai family—that he always thought was awful—was actually not all worthless. At the very least, he, his mother, and his brother had lived here together for a really long time already.

”Brother, I went to visit Sister Ruoxin a few days ago. Before I leave, I'll say goodbye to her, too. I really like the fish that she makes.” Gao Xin stared at the sun from afar and smiled very relaxingly for the first time.

”Really?” Gao Yi asked, but he was not sure whether he was asking Gao Xin or himself. Actually, he liked to eat it, too.

”Yes.” Gao Xin recalled the savory flavor of the fish. ”I still want to eat it now. The fish that Sister Ruoxin makes is delicious. It's sweet and sour at the same time; even Rainy loved to eat it. Oh yes, Rainy was really smart; and she now has a black friend. When the two of them stand together, one white and one black; they still look compatible. When Rainy first came, she could not speak a single word of English, but now, she could converse with her black friend. Sister Ruoxin's English had also improved, and not long later, she could go work at an art studio.

”Brother, you don't need to worry about her. I believe Sister Ruoxin will do just fine, even without you.”

That sentence, perhaps, Gao Xin had said it unintentionally. However, when Gao Yi heard it, it made his heart ache; and that kind of pain was very obvious. Even if it was momentary, it was unforgettable for life.

Was that so? Even without him, she would do just fine.

That was right… Ruoxin, Xia Ruoxin. She had suffered since young, from her Xia family, from Chu Lui, and even from him… but no matter what she had to face, that woman was like duckweed. Even without her roots, she could still root herself and grow wherever she went.

She would live on strongly, even without the Xia family, without Chu Lui, and without him.

At this moment, a body with a flowery scent stuck close to his from behind, but he had no feeling. Gao Xin had long left the house after he packed his belongings in a relatively small bag and told Wei Lan.
