Jian Yunong was like a lost soul, and at this moment, Mei Hanqing was no different from a walking corpse, wasn’t he?

Mei Hanqing staggered down the street, his legs seemingly filled with lead, each step appearing to drain all his energy.

At this moment, Mei Hanqing felt extremely exhausted, physically and mentally fatigued.

Now, Mei Hanqing just wanted to return to his little house and have a good sleep.

After waking from sleep, he hoped to find it was all just a dream, that waking up, everything remained the same.

After all, life must go on, right?

But is it really a dream, can a sleep truly end it?

After catching up with Mei Hanqing, Ye Xunhuan did not speak, merely following quietly behind him.

Wherever Mei Hanqing went, he followed.

They just walked like this, with no one speaking, an air of desolation hanging between them.

In the face of such a lifeless Mei Hanqing, Ye Xunhuan felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles, painfully so.

He wanted to comfort Mei Hanqing, yet had no idea how to begin, after all, this was not any ordinary issue!

Finally, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but speak, "Han Qing, I know your heart must be very painful, very confused right now, if you want to say anything, just say it!"

"You’ll feel a bit better this way!"

It was as if Mei Hanqing hadn’t heard Ye Xunhuan’s words at all, dragging his weary body and aimlessly walking forward.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan directly reached out and grabbed Mei Hanqing, "Mei Hanqing, I know you’re in pain, but is torturing yourself like this meaningful?"

"What do you understand?" Mei Hanqing growled immediately, like an enraged lion, "Do you know what it feels like to be abandoned for over twenty years?!"

"Do you know what it feels like to suffer from cold stares, to be slandered by rumors?"

"Do you know what it feels like when others curse you as a bastard, a mongrel that no one wants?"

"I know!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted forcefully, "Do you think only you have suffered, only you have been in pain?"

"Come with me, let’s see who the hell is living a more painful life!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan pulled Mei Hanqing away amidst the pointing and whispers of onlookers until they disappeared from sight.

Ye Xunhuan didn’t take Mei Hanqing elsewhere but went to the seaside!

Upon arriving at the seaside, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, "Mei Hanqing, do you think you’ve lived so many years in grievance and humiliation..."

"Yes!"

"I’ve lived more miserably, more humiliated!" Ye Xunhuan said heavily, "Who am I?"

"I am Qin Fenghuang’s son, the heir of Fenghua Group; I have immense wealth, my starting line is higher than anyone else’s!"

"But you know what, I never knew in school that I was the heir of Fenghua Group, or that my mother, Qin Fenghuang, was the head of it!"

"You didn’t have parents, you were abandoned, but I had no father, I never knew who my father was from the moment I was born, I never saw him!"

"Others have called me a bastard, insulted me as a mongrel with a mother but no father to raise me!" A painful expression slowly emerged on Ye Xunhuan’s face, "I understand that pain!"

"Although I have a mother, you also had the old director, and now you know who your parents are, but what about me?"

"I don’t even know who my father is, even now!" Ye Xunhuan exhaled a deep breath and said, "For so many years, you’ve led a tough life, but do you know how I’ve lived?"

"I had a mother, true, I grew up with her, also true, but you probably don’t know, we separated when I was in my teens!"

"But do you know what I did after we separated?"

"I was learning how to kill!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice became hoarse and low, "Someone in their teens should be in school, but I was learning how to kill."

"Learning how to take down an adversary in one move, I was abandoned in a primal forest, living among wild beasts for a month, facing the danger of being devoured every day, struggling every day!"

"This was my life, repeating day and night!"

"And do you know what it feels like to sleep among corpses? Do you know the taste of wild herbs? Do you know the fear of being left in a primal forest?"

"Do you know what it feels like to drink human blood, do you know..."

"Stop, I don’t want to hear it!" Mei Hanqing suddenly covered his ears, shaking his head and shouting continuously.

But the next moment, Ye Xunhuan directly reached out and removed Mei Hanqing’s hands, "Do you know what it’s like to be killing day and night for three years straight?"

"Do you know the pain of watching your brothers die one by one before your eyes?"

"Do you know..."

In terms of a tragic past, Ye Xunhuan feared no one, possessing a heritage that everyone envied, yet also endured a life of unimaginable darkness.

Mei Hanqing didn’t want to listen, but Ye Xunhuan, as he had once with Qiu Ruoxi, ruthlessly laid everything bare, using his own brutal and terrible experiences to prod Mei Hanqing.

Finally, Ye Xunhuan finished speaking!

"Now do you feel that your life is still unbearable?" Ye Xunhuan deeply inhaled, slowly closing his eyes and adjusting his emotions, "You were abandoned, but you had the entire welfare home, yet all my brothers are dead!"

"Only I linger on alone!" Ye Xunhuan said painfully, "You know who your parents are, they’re still alive!"

"But I only know my mother, never my father, and my mother is now gone, and who knows if my father is long dead!"

"Xunhuan, I’m sorry, I... I didn’t know about your past, I..."

"It’s okay!" Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, "I know your heart is chaotic, but look at me, after going through so much, am I not still living well?"

"People must look forward, don’t lose faith in everything because of some setbacks, some trivial ties, believe that the future holds beauty!"

"And they didn’t want to abandon you at the time, they had their hardships!" Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette and said, "Of course, this hardship isn’t much, but in such a family, they had no choice either!"

"You can listen to them, then make a choice, but no matter what, do not torture yourself!"
