Chapter 608: Chapter 608 The Child Who Never Grows Up _1
Upon hearing Qi Jiaming’s sentints, Qin Sisi gave a bitter smile and replied, "As you said, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps he’s just talented at this."
Killing a person could be simple, but to commit a perfect murder required talent.
No one could have imagined that Qi Jialiang possessed such a talent. To all others, he was just a simple-minded, physically robust individual.
Even more unimaginable was that he used his talent on his own elder brother.
Qin Sisi went through the entire incident that Qi Jiaming encountered in her mind. She voiced her confusion again, "You died almost two years ago, and Qi Jialiang has been dating Xiao Wei for about the sa ti. You should have known about it. Why are you only thinking of separating them now?"
Qi Jiaming sighed, replying, "Because I don’t want to hurt anyone. I can’t take revenge. He could murder his own elder brother, but I can’t bring myself to harm my younger brother.
And Xiao Wei, she would be heartbroken if she found out I were dead.
If Jialiang was willing to kill for Xiao Wei, then he might truly love her. If they can live peacefully together, they could be happy.
I don’t mind suffering a bit if that can make them happy.
However, I later realized that I was wrong. Jialiang is Jialiang, no matter how hard he tries, he will never beco .
So, Xiao Wei must have sensed sothing wrong deep down. She wants to break up with him, but she thought the one who died was Jialiang. And that Jialiang committed suicide because of her, it made her feel so guilty that she can’t even bring herself to utter the words "break up".
But subconsciously, she began to distance herself from Jialiang and reject any intimate contact with him. It made Jialiang feel a growing sense of crisis, creating constant argunts between them.
When Jialiang suggested taking wedding photos, Xiao Wei was actually unwilling. Jialiang threatened self-harm in a heightened state of emotion, forcing Xiao Wei to agree.
At that mont, I suddenly realized, I can’t let them continue being together. Their being together would only end tragically."
Only then did Qin Sisi understand the whole journey Qi Jiaming’s heart went through, "So that’s why you want to give up being a Ghost Immortal to keep them apart."
Qi Jiaming nodded, "Yes, if they break up, there could be a chance for them to start anew. Otherwise..."
Qi Jiaming did not finish his sentence, but his eyes revealed deep worry.
A person who constantly suppresses their own personality to beco soone else will not succeed. Their real personality would grow more and more unstable and violent.
When given an opportunity, that long-suppressed personality could violently break out and possibly destroy the person himself and everyone around him.
He cannot let this happen.
"But..." Qin Sisi scratched her head, feeling a bit conflicted, "They’ve been together for almost two years, have they...you know?"
She was rather indirect, and her face turned sowhat red.
Ye You, who had been silent all along, glanced at her, his expression a cryptic mix of amusent and inscrutability.
Qi Jiaming simply shook his head gently, "No. I made a promise to Xiao Wei that we wouldn’t get intimate before marriage.
Later, Jialiang tried to advance their relationship to the next level, but Xiao Wei curiously questioned, didn’t you say we wouldn’t do that before marriage?
Fearful of being exposed, Jialiang discontinued his approach and never dares to act on his desires again."
Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "In that case, there shouldn’t be any problem from Xiao Wei’s side. She’s already considering a breakup, the key is your brother - he might not let go so easily."
Qi Jiaming said helplessly, "I know, but I can’t think of a better solution now. I can only try to reach him through dreams."
Qin Sisi thought for a mont, but couldn’t co up with any good strategies either, so she suggested, "Let’s find out if the dream could work first. If it doesn’t, we’ll think of sothing else."
Qi Jiaming nodded, struggling with his emotions. He was determined to settle this matter, but he actually had no confidence at all.
After returning Qi Jiaming to the Portable Space, Qin Sisi and Ye You finished their nightly routines and lay down on the bed.
For a rare quiet mont, ti seed to stand still.
Qin Sisi seized the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any good ideas about this?"
Ye You paused for a mont, then replied, "I do have one."
"What is it?" Qin Sisi’s spirit was instantly lifted. She gripped Ye You’s paw and demanded.
Ye You looked at the anticipation and curiosity on Qin Sisi’s face, and didn’t want to tease her any further, so he gently whispered into her ear.
"That works?" Qin Sisi exclaid.
"Why wouldn’t it?" Ye You countered nonchalantly.
After a mont of thought, Qin Sisi said, "Let’s wait and see how the dream works out first. If Qi Jialiang lets go, excellent. If he remains headstrong, we’ll follow your plan."
With Ye You’s backup plan, Qin Sisi suddenly felt a lot more reassured.
Thus, for three consecutive days, Qi Jialiang had the sa dream.
In the dream, his brother, who looked exactly like him, kept saying, "Jialiang, let Xiao Wei go. Find a new place and start over. Stop living in my shadow."
At first, Qi Jialiang was gripped with sorrow, but gradually, a sense of annoyance began to grow in his heart.
You want
to let her go, but I refuse.
I’m going to tie her to , and have us three all descend into hell together.
When Qi Jialiang violently threw his pillow against the wall, Qi Jiaming sighed helplessly, "He’s always been rebellious, never listening to advice. He’s like a child that never grows up."
Qin Sisi consoled him, "You’ve done your best. You can’t wake soone who is pretending to be asleep."
Qi Jiaming looked at the grimacing Qi Jialiang one last ti with regret and affection, then finally turned and left.
He had given this proud younger brother of his a final chance. Qi Jiaming could accept being hurt by him, but he could not allow him to hurt Xiao Wei.
Another day passed, and it was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival.
Early in the morning, Qi Jialiang called Xiao Wei.
"Weiwei, let’s spend the holiday together!"
Xiao Wei hesitated before replying, "Sorry, Jiaming. I’m going ho today. I’ve already spoken to my parents."
Imdiately, Qi Jialiang felt a cloud of gloom forming in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mood, responding cheerily, "No problem. It’s the holiday, and you should go ho. Do you want
to accompany you?"
"No need. There’s no ti this ti. Let’s do it so other ti." Xiao Wei directly declined Qi Jialiang’s suggestion.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Jialiang smiled cynically. He didn’t argue verbally but gritted his teeth internally: Xiao Wei, you’re not getting away from . I’ll claim you as mine!
