Chapter Eighty-four: Letting Go

  "No, no, Yezi, come back!" I and Ouyang Luo quickly ran to that side, walking together into the sea towards Yezi. The seawater was icy cold, my heart even colder.

  "Leaves suddenly turned around, 'You guys don't come over, or I'll fall down directly!'"

  Ouyang Luo and I immediately stopped in our tracks. "Ye Zi! Come back quickly!" Ouyang Luo growled.

  "Yèzi, are you back okay? Please!" I begged.

  "No, I don't want to go back, I've lost everything, everything is gone, even Yu has left me, I have nothing!" Yezi cried out loudly, she was crying very sadly.

  "No, you still have us, you still have Dad and Mom, and me and Ouyang Luo, you're not left with nothing!" I also said loudly, almost shouting, tears streaming out uncontrollably. Ouyang Luo grasped my hand tightly, his hand was also icy cold.

  "No, Dad and Mom don't like me, they don't like..."

  "Yes, you are their own daughter, how could they not like you?" I said, taking another step forward. Yezi saw this and got very excited, "Don't come any closer, or I'll really jump!" she said, taking another step back. The seawater had already risen above her thighs, and I was getting anxious.

  "Yèzi, listen to me, we all like you very much, really, no one dislikes you, can you come back soon?" I implored.

  "You deceived me and I hurt you so badly. You must hate me, how could you possibly like me?" Yezi said with a bitter smile.

  "No, I don't hate you at all. It's just that I didn't consider your feelings before. Sorry, Yezi, it was my fault! Are you okay after coming back?"

  "Don't you know it was me who took the photo to threaten Xiang Mi? Don't you know that I'm the one who took away the news article you were going to publish? Don't you know that I'm the one who posted the photo on the bulletin board and got you beaten up? Don't you know that I'm the one who hired someone to kidnap you, almost getting you killed...? Don't you hate me? You must hate me to death!"

  "I don't hate you, not at all!" I said loudly. Yehzi heard me and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. "When you took away my news draft, you apologized already. When you posted the photo on the bulletin board, you didn't think I would get beaten up, did you? And when I was in the infirmary, you cried so sadly, which means you actually didn't want me to get beaten up, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have cried that sadly!"

  It was as if she had been stabbed in the vitals, Ye Zi's body trembled slightly, "Who said I didn't know you'd get beaten? I knew it, I thought of it from the moment I posted those photos!"

  "It's not like that, it's not..." I retorted. She was clearly crying very sadly, so she actually had no idea I would be beaten.

  "You're too naive, and there's something you don't know? Do you remember last time..."

  "Ye Zi, that's enough!" Ouyang shouted in a low voice. But Ye Zi seemed to have not heard him, looking at me and continuing: "That night after you and Gu Yue Xuan parted ways at Qiguang Square, the taxi you took was actually driven by someone I hired, who was supposed to kidnap you!" Ye Zi's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, leaving me stunned and speechless.

  "But you regretted it, and it was you who called me to come over!" Ou Yang Luo said suddenly.

  I looked at Ouyang Luo in surprise, was it Ye Zi who called him to come and save me? I thought that night Ouyang Luo followed me, but it turned out Ye Zi called him to tell him, which means Ye Zi didn't want me to be kidnapped at all.

  "Now that you know all this, you must hate me, right?" Yezi said, taking another step back. "Someone like me shouldn't even be in this world, Xiaoyue, I'm sorry!" Yezi covered her mouth and burst into tears. She continued to back away while crying. As long as she saw me and Ouyang Luo moving forward, her emotions would become very agitated.

  Ouyang Luo grasped my hand tightly, I looked at him and he gave me a signal with his eyes, he wanted to rush up and pull Ye Zi back. We nodded to each other, Ouyang Luo, please!

  Just as Ouyang Luo let go of my hand, I heard a "thud" and a familiar figure jumped in. He quickly rushed to our side, and Yezi, who was walking forward, was startled. "Yu?" I and Ouyang Luo were also startled. It was Yang Zhenyu. Wasn't he at the airport?

  Is it Yang Zhenyu? I looked at Ouyang Luo, "Believe him!" I nodded. He didn't give up on Yezi, no!

  "Yèzi, you come over first, we have something good to talk about," said Yang Zhenyu.

  "I don't want you to, why did you come back? You were supposed to leave! Why are you coming back!" Yezi said excitedly, while Yang Zhenyu took slow steps forward.

  "Don't come over—" Yezi shouted loudly. But Yang Zhenyu didn't intend to stop, he still walked forward step by step. "If you want to die, then I'll accompany you, because I don't want to live either!"

  What is Yang Zhenyu thinking? Ye Zi stood still on the spot, but Yang Zhenyu continued to walk forward step by step. They were getting closer and closer, and Ye Zi's expression was very tense.

  "Yu, why did you have to do this?"

  "What's the point of me living if even you don't want to?" Yang Zhenyu said calmly. How can he be so calm? My heart is almost jumping out of my throat.

  "You..."

  Yang Zhenyu didn't say anything more, he had already approached Yezi, and Yezi didn't seem to want to move forward, but he still walked forward, the seawater had already risen above his waist.

  "Yè zi, if you want to die, then let me die with you!"

  "Leaves cried and shook her head, 'No, Yu, don't die, don't...'"

  Yang Zhenyu smiled at her, she had already surpassed Yezi and was still moving forward, showing no signs of stopping. I clenched my fists nervously, Ouyang Luo pulled my hand over, holding it tightly in hers.

  "Don't——" Yezi shouted, embracing Yang Zhenyu from behind. "Don't die, Yu, I don't want you to die!" Yang Zhenyu also hugged Yezi tightly, and they held each other closely. "Yezi, I love you!" After hearing this sentence, Yezi cried even harder. "Sorry, sorry!"

  In the icy cold seawater, Ye Zi and Yang Zhenyu tightly hugged each other. They would never be apart from that moment on. Ouyang Luo held me in his arms, I cried, crying so sorrowfully. Yang Zhenyu did it!

  After we got home, our clothes were all wet. Aunt He asked us what happened, and we lied that we had fallen into the water. Dad and Mom still don't know about this, and we don't plan to let them know either.

  After coming back, Yezi's mood stabilized a lot, and the two of us are in her room.

  "Xiao Yue, I'm sorry!" Yezi whispered, not daring to look me straight in the eye.

  "Yè zi, no need to apologize, it's us who neglected your feelings. We won't do that again. Never again!"

  "Xiao Yue......" Ye Zi hugged me, "Although you don't want to listen, I still have to say sorry! From now on, I won't do anything that will hurt you again, please believe me!"

  I believe!

  "Ugh... Xiaoyue, thank you..." Yezi said, bursting into tears. I let her go. "Yezi, let's forget the unpleasant things and start anew! Let's be the best sisters ever!"

  "Mm." Yezi nodded, her face already streaming with tears.

  I've made up with Yezi, and I believe such things won't happen again in the future.
