On the way, Xie Mu was quite happy.
Before leaving the house today, he left with a card/ The store he chose was next to a bank. After jumping from the toilet to the ground, he went straight to the bank to withdraw without having to stop midway.
All the documents are in the Xie house, travelling by train will not work.
Xie Mu got his money and rented a car.
The car must drive one day and one night in order to reach his destination, since the driver would need to rest at night, it would take two full days instead.
When Xie Mu was taken back home by Xia NanEn as a child. He was always picked up in his own private card, he had never stayed inside such a small car with an unpleasant smell.
He only sat inside for two hours and his face did not look good. He leaned against the window with his face looking pale.
The driver sat in front witnessed the scene behind him. He was a little worried and asked, “Would you like to open the window to enjoy the breeze?”
Xie Mu waved his hand weakly.
His body was still too weak, even if his legs are better now but he is still weak all over. He was used to being meticulously cared for at home and wasn’t able to withstand the cold winds for long periods of time. But if he catches a high fever now, no one will be able to take care of him.
The driver looked anxiously at the handsome man sitting at the backseat, who closed his eyes as if he was about to faint. The driver was terrified of the man dying in his car.
But Xie Mu, who caused immense worry for the driver was asking the system, [How is Xie Shi?]
[He’s furious and sent people to search for you.]
The man with his eyes closed, curled his lips, [How is the favorability?]
[It’s fluctuating unstably, the gap is extremely large and the system cannot detect it.]
After the system replied, it couldn’t help but worry again, [Host, isn’t it too risky to do this, Xie Shi’s favorability has fluctuated back to 30 at most.]
[Well, It hasn’t dropped to 0 yet.]
Xie Mu was not in a hurry or panic, [Xie Shi is a person filled with love and hate, if I have a favorability of 30 when he’s hating me, once he sees me in person, what do you think his reaction will be?]
The system was confused, [Host, I don’t understand.]
[Be good. If you don’t understand, you can learn it slowly and one day you will understand it all.]
The driver drove carefully and stopped at a hotel with a horrified expression, and turned around cautiously, “Sir, Sir…”
Seeing how the man sitting in the seat behind him opened his eyes slowly, the driver let out a sigh of relief, “Sir, it’s getting dark today, let’s rest here for today.”
Early on the next morning, the man’s face was as white as a ghost, he had an ugly expression on his face and he stiffly sat behind
The driver was genuinely worried and kindly tried to persuade him, “Sir, there’s a clinic ahead, would you like to drop by?”
“It’s fine, just start driving.”

Like yesterday, Xie Mu had a pale white face and closed his eyes while leaning against the window.

The man with the pale white face got off the car with much difficulty, he was looking at the mountains with a hint of joy in his eyes.
He paid for the ride and trembled while slowly walking forward.
He had only been to this place once, but had a strong impression of if as if he came by everyday.
Xie Mu remembered that when he came of the first time, he felt numb all over, he had nothing in his mind and his body moved as if he was a robot.
But unlike last time, he was in another state of mind.
This was where Xie NanEn bones were buried.
He first knelt next to the hospital bed, and the man who had spoiled him for decades stretch out his cold hand to gently stroke his cheek to comfort the other. His voice was still as gentle as ever, but hearing it made Xie Mu want to cry.
His Brother told him not to cry, saying that from now on no one will protect him so he needed to learn how to protect himself.
… He also said he wanted him to help protect the Xie’s house, protect his son and wait for Xie Shi to grow up and hand the family over to him.
Xie Mu only had memories of himself crying, as if he was using all the tears he had for a lifetime, in the end he collapsed and fell beside the bed.
When he woke up again, his brother was declared dead.
He watched how his elder brother who spoiled and loved him, was tucked under a piece of white cloth and buried on this mountain according to his brother’s wishes.
That day, Xie Mu knelt in front of the grave, he cried without sound as if he lost of the strength in his body.
It hurts so much when you lose someone you love.
He was always thinking about helping his brother to protect the Xie house then handing it over to his son and come back again to tell his brother that he had done what he had told him.
What he wanted Xie Mu to do on his behalf, Xie Mu had done them all, even if it would be be unbearably painful for him.
The legs that were not fully healed were exposed to the cold wind, and the snow fell on the man. The snow brought a chill to his body, but Xie Mu didn’t care at all, he still walked forwards step by step with joy and expectation.
He wanted to tell his brother that he missed him.
For the past few years, he really missed him very much.
Xie Mu finally reached the tomb.
Before he came forward with his head full of snow, people suddenly appeared in the trees that surrounded the tomb.
The most eye-catching person was a man who was looking over with a blank face.
It was Xie Shi.
“Uncle.”
The young man smiled slightly as if he was mocking Xie Mu or mocking himself. “You really know how to act, you even fooled me.”
Xie Mu stopped walking and glanced at him coldly, without intending to escape.
Until XIe Shi stepped forward and grabbed the man’s slender wrist. Seeing how he didn’t flinch, Xie Shi was a little surprised by his actions, “Isn’t Uncle running away?”
“If you are standing here right now, you would’ve done all the necessary preparations.”
Xie Shi let out chuckle and leaned next to the man’s ear. The originally smiley facade was dropped to reveal his dark nature, “My uncle is really smart, then can you guess what kind of mood I was in when you escaped?”
Xie Mu didn’t bother keeping his facade either and lost his weak look that he used to keep up around him, “What does it have to do with me?”
“What does it have to do…”
Xie Shi repeated his words again, raised his eyebrows, and smiled but this smile no longer had the bright look that he used to fabricate to fool others, “Uncle is truly cruel, when you were gone, I rushed to come here day and night to wait for you.”
Xie Mu face remained expressionless, his eyes didn’t even blink the slightest, “Xie Shi, I never did you any wrong.”
“Of course, Uncle treated me with kindness.”
Xie Shi smiled but the smile didn’t reach his eyes,, “That’s why you should come back with me.”
“That’s impossible.”
Xie Mu gave his answer swiftly and quickly.
His determined expression looked unwavering, “Either you let me go today, or I will end my life here.”
“Uncle really doesn’t fear death.”
Xie Mu eyes darkened, his tone sounded half-hearted and unbothered, “Let me guess what Uncle is thinking.”
“The tasks that my father had asked of Uncle to do, Uncle had done them all. Asking you to take care of me, you did that as well, since they were all done and your body isn’t as healthy anymore, rather being in pain everyday, you might as well go find Father instead.”
“As for why you would pretend to act with me and buy time, it should be because…”
Xie Shi eyes suddenly looked a the cemetery lying quietly beside him, and smiled mockingly, “I have asked people to check the house thoroughly. The long-term medication that Uncle takes regularly was missing a bottle. If you took the whole bottle, no other medication could save you.”
“Uncle specially came here because you’re scared of not seeing father after your death.”
Xie Mu tightened his hands and he watched how the young man in front of him t ook out the bottle of medicine from his body and threw it against the ground.
Xie Shi eyes were filled with madness but he has more jealous than he was mad.
“Uncle, I’ll show you something interesting I found.”
After speaking, the young man turned his head and fiercely looked down, “Go dig it.”
The people he brought with him began moving as he commanded them, and immediately picked up the tools they had prepared ahead of time and began digging.
The calm and indifference on Xie Mu’s face suddenly burst like a balloon after witnessing the scene before him, and the look in his eyes held panic.
“What are you doing! That’s your own father!”
“Of course, I know that it is my father.”
Xie Shi had a deep smile, “Didn’t you know, the Xie Family had an excellent tradition of patricide?”
“At first, my father killed grandpa that’s why he smoothly became the head of the Xie’s family.”
“–Nonsense!”
As long Xie NanEn was involved, Xie Mu would always subconsciously panic, “Brother has already passed away, what else do you have to do.”
“Passed away?”
He playfully spoke these two words with his thin lips, Xie Shi firmly grasped Xie Mu’s hands who wanted to struggle and with a trace of revenge, he asked,
“Uncle, do you really believe what Xie NanEn said?’’
“Do you really think he was dead because of schemes from third parties.”
Xie Mu’s struggling body suddenly froze, “What do you mean?”
“Uncle must’ve missed my father very much…”
The young man leaned into his ear and bewitchingly said, “What if my father isn’t dead? Wouldn’t Uncle be very happy?”
“If you don’t believe it, just watch how the coffin will be opened and see if there’s anything inside?”
Impossible!
He watched how his brother was put into the coffin with his own eyes and watched the coffin being buried into the soil with his own eyes.
But, If brother was really alive…
Knowing that he didn’t have good intentions, Xie Mu couldn’t control himself and he had a trace of expectation.
His eyes were fixed on the coffin that was being lifted.
Someone opened the coffin skillfully and the lid was lifted.
Xie Shi held the man’s hand and walked forward.
The coffin is empty.
rei: I was re-reading some past chapters and calling Xie NanEn as DaGe sounded so weird to me all of a sudden I changed all of them to Brother instead I checked several times if I didn’t change anything out but if you spot one feel free to lmk or ping me on discord
