CHAPTER 224 (1/2)

Collapsing 11 Boundaries End

Jiang Xie saw Xie Xi eating well and felt more comfortable than anyone else.

After six years, he had come back to take revenge on Xie Xi, taking away the Chengyu he raised with painstaking effort and letting him feel the pain of loss.

However, Jiang Xie didn’t feel any joy after his success. Xie Xi tried hard to please him and this made Jiang Xie even more humiliated.

In the one month when he went abroad, he saw Jiang Hong recover and Jiang Xie gradually calmed down.

It was only when he came back and saw the haggard Xie Xi that he woke up.

Revenge on Xie Xi wasn’t what he wanted. He only wanted Xie Xi from beginning to end.

Even if Xie Xi deceived him, even if he was insulted or rejected, he didn’t want Xie Xi to suffer any harm.

Losing Chengyu was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xie Xi. Jiang Xie left silently for a month and Xie Xi’s tenacious mind couldn’t withstand it.

How many people jumped from high buildings because of bankruptcy, how many people were devastated by falling from the peak, how many people gave up their lives because of the collapse of their careers?

There was no doubt that Xie Xi was strong but no matter how strong a person, there was a weakness that couldn’t be ignored.

Jiang Xie’s absence in this one month definitely placed a huge psychological burden on Xie Xi.

The little bit of hope he felt dimmed, countless negative emotions rose and there were inevitably psychological problems.

Jiang Xie thought of these things. The more he thought about it, the more fear he felt and the higher the chances of the white space being activated.

After seeing Xie Xi’s loss of appetite and insomnia, Jiang Xie wanted to say several times that he would return Chengyu to Xie Xi.

Revenge and deception didn’t matter. He just wanted Xie Xi to be okay.

However, the psychologist gave him more objective advice.

Jiang Xie went to consult a well-known psychologist about Xie Xi’s problem, hoping to get a proper plan.

The psychologist made it clear that simply giving Chengyu toXie Xi would only push him into a deeper abyss and he would never be able to recover.

It was difficult to gain happiness if the meaning of survival was placed on illusory interests.

This time, Jiang Xie took away Chengyu. What if another person did it next time?

Xie Xi would never be able to hold up if there was one more similar experience.

His most fundamental problem wasn’t the loss of Chengyu. It was his long-standing weariness of the world.

His childhood experience made him lonely and indifferent. The cruelty of his family made him not believe in family. Chengyu was his only goal in life.

This goal was clearly unhealthy. Once lost, Xie XI would face the tragedy of total collapse.

The psychologist suggested for him to help Xie Xi experience a new life, to see different scenery, experience different happiness and find a healthier, more positive and happier motivation to live.

This way, he would get rid of the shackles and regain a new life.

This was why Jiang Xie took Xie Xi to climb the mountain.

Of course, Xie Xi couldn’t not know about this. Even if he didn’t know, he could still appreciate Jiang Xie’s mind.

He also achieved his purpose of pretending to be tired of life.

Jiang Xie took the initiative to find a psychologist, to understand this psychological state and to ‘treat’ Xie Xi according to the program.

This was mutual. Helping Xie Xi find a motive for survival was also helping Jiang Xie find one.

They both needed to look at different landscapes and find new meanings for survival.

Xie Xi ate two small dumplings in one breath. He was going to eat the third one when Jiang Xie stopped him. “That should be enough.”

Xie Xi blinked. He hadn’t eaten enough.

Jiang Xie saw this person’s shining eyes and was relieved, but he still insisted. “You have been hungry for too long. You can’t eat too much at one time.”

Such a small dumpling, normal adults could eat 12. He only ate two! It was just a fraction!

‘Dr Jiang’ was very strict. “You can drink more porridge. It is good for digestion.”

Xie Xi, “…” It was over. he didn’t have a chance to sneak some food and would have to climb to the top of the mountain. He was going to starve to death!

Fortunately, Jiang Xie had a firm opinion and didn’t starve him. After walking for a while, he felt that Xie Xi had digested enough and gave him another meal.

This method of eating less but more often was very good for Xie Xi’s current state. It was unknown where Jiang Xie got such good insulation boxes but the heat was preserved through the entire process and it wasn’t cold at all.

Xie Xi unknowingly went to the top of the mountain under the seduction of the crab dumplings.

He really wasn’t tired. The journey was basically a flat road and they occasionally took breaks. Not to mention, Xie Xi was really healthy, even if he was really thin.

On the contrary, eating food and the exercise caused the blood in his body to circulate and he was more energetic.

Jiang Xie stretched out his hand. “Come here, there is nobody here.”

He had already arranged for someone to clear this place. The sunrise from this corner wasn’t the best but it was the purest.

Xie Xi took his hand and walked up the last few steps.

The timing was just right. They stood on top of the mountain together and saw the sun slowly emerging from the sea.

The rising sun and falling sun were very similar. They were all red and dyed everything around them red.

However, they were still very different.

The morning sun rose slowly like it was breaking free from its shackles.

As the sun plunged into the sea, the light was like a long ribbon, holding the dark sea and the dark sky together.

This sunrise was a dazzling, transparent and fearless gold. It would surely illuminate the darkness, returning the beautiful blue to the sea, the clear blue to the sky and bringing light and hope back to the world.

Xie Xi watched it.

Jiang Xie took his hand and whispered, “Is it beautiful?”

Xie Xi nodded. “It looks good.”

The beauty of the morning sun was as magnificent as the setting sun. However, one was a desire for life and the other was the sinking of death.

People lived and were destined to be like the morning sun, infinitely pursuing desires and life.

They headed back and Jiang Xie said, “I have been in the US for the past month.”

Xie Xi didn’t reply.

Jiang Xie confessed, “Jiang Hong’s illness has made a breakthrough and she finally recovered.”

Xie Xi knew this but had to make a surprised expression. “That’s great.”

“Yes,” Jiang Xie continued. “If people live, there are always countless opportunities.”

Talking about Jiang Hong was to give Xie Xi confidence.

A person who lingered at the ghost gate gained new hope. Those who were healthy shouldn’t abandon their lives.

Jiang Xie kept speaking. “She didn’t return to China. She has been bound to a hospital bed for the past few years and now she wants to see the world.”

Xie Xi’s lips curved. “That’s good.”

“Yes, as long as you look, there are many things that are fun.”

Xie Xi’s smile became clearer. “That’s true.”

This mountain climbing incident achieved great results. Xie Xi’s mental state was much better.

In line with the principle of persistent efforts, Jiang Xie went with Xie Xi to climb another mountain on the weekend.

The sleepy Xie Xi thought, ‘We can climb mountains but can it not be so early! I’m sleepy!’

However, Dr Jiang was very assertive and took him to climb a slightly more difficult mountain.
