Chapter 96: Embarking on a Journey (4)
"Don't say sorry, I said don't say sorry--"
The word "sorry" penetrated Zhou Yan's heart like a rejection, so that he finally exploded and roared. His roar made Yin Yin's body stiffen and her tears stopped instantly, but Yin Yin did not dare to look up, did not dare to face Zhou Yan who was exploding at this moment.
"Yan!"
Zhou Cheng was just a bystander, so he spoke up to stop it, but when he saw Zhou Yan's expression, he couldn't say anything harsh.
"Tell me... tell me, what should I do? How can you stop suffering so much because of him? Obviously I love you more than he does——"
Zhou stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Yin Yin's arms, shaking her body. His eyes seemed to be filled with anger and great sorrow. There was a mist in his eyes, as if he was trying hard not to let the tears flow out.
“Yan!!”
Seeing Zhou Yan shaking Yin Yin, Zhou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhou Yan's arm, but Zhou Yan's strength was far beyond his imagination. Yin Yin's slender arms were completely held tightly in his hands, and the force of his shaking seemed to be able to break Yin Yin's entire body skeleton apart. Even Zhou Cheng could feel Zhou Yan's strength, but Yin Yin, who was under the force, seemed to be nothing. She hung her head and said nothing...
"Let go, you'll hurt her."
“Get lost!!!”
With a roar, Zhou Cheng not only failed to pull Zhou Yan's hand away, but was instead shaken off by Zhou Yan.
“Yan!!”
"Speak, speak...why can't I? Why?"
Completely ignoring Zhou Cheng's attempts to stop him, Zhou Yan continued to desperately shake Yin Yin's body. Looking at the place where Yin Yin was grabbed by Zhou Yan, it seemed as if it was about to sink into the flesh. Then looking at Yin Yin's hanging hands, it was obvious that they were still turning dark purple...
“Yan!!”
After discovering that Yinyin's hands had turned dark purple, Zhou Cheng ignored Zhou Yan's grief and used force to open Zhou Yan's grip. After removing Zhou Yan's grip, before anyone could react, Yinyin's body fell straight down. Before she fell to the ground, Zhou Cheng caught her in one step...
“Yin Yin!!”
Holding Yinyin in his arms, Zhou Cheng called out to her anxiously, only to find that Yinyin's face was pale with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes were closed...
"Yinyin? Yinyin!! Quick, call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!!"
After calling out several times without success, Zhou Cheng immediately shouted loudly for the imperial physician.
"Yin Yin, wake up, don't scare me, Yin Yin!!"
Zhou Cheng's order had already been given, and he certainly knew that the people standing outside could hear it, so he continued to call Yin Yin, feeling extremely anxious.
Zhou Yan stood there, staring at the person in Zhou Cheng's arms without blinking, the expression on his face was filled with unspeakable pain, silently, he didn't know what to say, he had no hatred for Yin Yin, only love for her, he never understood why he could love her to this extent, love her to the point of being desperate, love her to the point of being exhausted and covered with scars, even though he never got what he wanted, he never gave up.
Without any warning, Zhou Yan fell to his knees in front of Yin Yin. Zhou Cheng was obviously very surprised, but not because of Zhou Yan's behavior , but because of the decadent and painful look on Zhou Yan's face, with tears streaming down his face. He even looked embarrassed, but he had never seen Zhou Yan like this before. At the same time, it also made him see once again how deep Zhou Yan's feelings for Yin Yin were. For a moment, Zhou Cheng even thought that Zhou Yan's love for Yin Yin might be greater than his own. Would he love Yin Yin less than Zhou Yan? Although it was only a moment, Zhou Cheng did not want to admit it. He shifted his gaze from Zhou Yan back to Yin Yin, eagerly looking at the person in his arms, and threw his opinion of Zhou Yan behind him. At this moment, Yin Yin once again occupied his entire heart...
Deciding not to think too much, he picked up Yin Yin without hesitation and walked out the door. When he walked behind Zhou Yan, he suddenly stopped without turning around: "You are the same as me. At first, I just wanted to keep her by my side, but doing so would only make her suffer and deny her life. I said she also has the right to choose. If you force her to be shackled and restrict her freedom, she will only become a soulless body or even die. The reason why she has become like this now, do you dare to say that you have no responsibility?"
Zhou Yan couldn't say a word as Zhou Cheng continued to talk, not just because what Zhou Cheng said was true.
"Love is selfish and free. A love that is too selfish will only make both parties suffer. Even if you can keep her by your side for the rest of your life, will you feel happy? If so, I have nothing to say, but I hope that person is not Yin Yin. Otherwise, even if it is you, I cannot forgive you. I am not saying this as a brother, but as a rival in love with the same person. As a rival in love, I will say one last thing. I love her, so I hope she can be happy. If someone tries to stop her and makes her suffer, I will show no mercy no matter who that person is."
The harsh words and determination together showed Zhou Cheng's resolve. No matter how far Zhou Yan could advance, Zhou Cheng left without looking back, holding Yin Yin in his arms, leaving Zhou Yan alone, kneeling on the ground in dejection, with a very confused expression and eyes. In fact, some of the words Zhou Cheng said also included the persuasion of an elder brother to his younger brother. Of course, more importantly, Zhou Cheng did not deny the fact that the two brothers were rivals in love. There was no need to deny it, nor to deliberately avoid it, because everyone's love is different.
