Chapter 112: You Are No Longer Needed Here
Gu Huaiye saw the money Xie Miaohan transferred back and counted the digits. It was exactly the sum of the living expenses and tuition he had transferred to Xie Miaohan over the past four years.
His eyelid twitched, and he immediately called Xie Miaohan.
At first, Xie Miaohan hung up. It wasn’t until Gu Huaiye called for the fourth time that Xie Miaohan finally answered.
“Brother, how does it feel not to be able to find someone?” Xie Miaohan’s voice was dark and sticky, like being eyed by a venomous snake. “Doesn’t feel good, does it?”
“Where did you get this money?”
“Brother gave it to me,” Xie Miaohan said with a laugh. “Is the number wrong?”
“You didn’t spend any of it? Then how did you pay for your tuition?”
“I didn’t study.”
Gu Huaiye’s breath hitched, and he gritted his teeth. “What did you say?”
“You stopped caring about me, so why should I study?”
“You…”
Gu Huaiye’s heart spasmed with pain, and he raised his hand to press tightly against his chest.
“Xie Miaohan, you are throwing your life away.”
The pain became unbearable, and Gu Huaiye frantically rummaged through his bag for medicine.
When he found it, his grip failed him, and the bottle fell to the ground, rolling far away.
People chatting nearby noticed something was wrong and quickly came over to help him get the medicine.
“How many pills do you need?”
“Ten… ten pills…”
With the help of his colleague, Gu Huaiye swallowed the medicine, and the pain eased slightly.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Hearing the word “medicine” over the phone, the hostility vanished from Xie Miaohan, replaced by worry. “Is your heart hurting again? Why does it still hurt? Did you never see a doctor while abroad?”
Gu Huaiye didn’t want to talk about this, his voice turning cold.
“I am not your brother. Xie Miaohan, I am truly disappointed in you.”
Xie Miaohan’s emotions flared up instantly.
“You left me alone in the country; you should have expected I’d go bad. Not only do I smoke and drink now, but I also fight and date, toying with Omegas’ feelings.”
Hearing this, Gu Huaiye suddenly felt relieved.
Xie Miaohan was lying to him.
“Which university did you get into?”
Xie Miaohan paused, seeming deflated, his voice muffled.
“Why don’t you believe me? You always think I’m easy to bully, right? Whatever you say, I do. I don’t dare resist your orders at all.”
“When you graduate from university, you can be rid of me and be free.”
Xie Miaohan suddenly shouted at him, “It’s you who wants to get rid of me, this burden!”
Xie Miaohan even began to suspect that Gu Huaiye had gotten married abroad, which was why he was in such a hurry to dump him.
“I got into a key university in District B.” Xie Miaohan paused, his voice laced with pleading. “Can you come back and take me to District B once? We haven’t seen each other for four years. Why do we have to wait until I graduate for you to come back? Is it that hard to return to the country once?”
He had borrowed money from friends to transfer to Gu Huaiye, just to trick him into thinking he wasn’t studying, hoping to force Gu Huaiye to return.
But upon learning Gu Huaiye’s heart condition had flared up again, his heart softened, and he was unwilling to say harsh words.
He wanted to see Gu Huaiye badly, but he didn’t want Gu Huaiye to get sick because of him.
“Brother, just come back once. It’s almost New Year’s; I don’t want to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner all alone again.”
“I’ll send you a red envelope.” Gu Huaiye touched his own thigh, which was so thin it was just bone, his eyes dim. “I’m really too busy here; I can’t go back for now.”
“Brother, just once. I promise not to cling to you. You can go back anytime.”
“Miaomiao, I really can’t go back. Wait until you graduate…”
Xie Miaohan hung up the phone.
Two days later, the commander found Gu Huaiye.
“Go back. You are no longer needed here.”
Gu Huaiye opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
The commander interrupted him. “I can see your condition; you might not make it at any time. You might as well go back and be with your family. Surgery or waiting to die—choose for yourself.”
Gu Huaiye was instantly rendered speechless.
He could also feel his body withering away. Staying any longer might just bring trouble to the people in the camp.
“I understand. Thank you for taking care of me these past four years.”
The commander grunted an acknowledgement and turned to leave.
Gu Huaiye simply packed his luggage and left the camp.
He arrived at the airport and sat in the waiting room like a lost soul. The people sitting in the same row of chairs changed batch after batch.
He held his phone, the screen displaying the ticket purchase page, but he didn’t know where to go.
District A had Xie Miaohan and the Gu Huaiye who looked exactly like him.
Just as the commander said, he was no longer needed.
Now that Xie Miaohan had gotten into a university in District B, things were different from the previous two lives; he wouldn’t meet the young master of the Gu family again.
Did that count as his mission being completely fulfilled?
Maybe he could find a place to secretly end it all.
Tormented by the pain of illness for so many years, he was reaching his limit anyway. He didn’t want to continue eating medicine like rice.
Gu Huaiye pulled a weak smile, looked down at his phone, exited the ticket page, and switched to a hotel booking page.
He would find a place to stay temporarily, calculate his remaining savings, and send it all to Xie Miaohan in one go.
“Sir, are you alright? You look very pale.”
The person sitting opposite him had been observing him for a long time.
Seeing Gu Huaiye’s face was scary pale, he got up to ask.
“I’m fine.” Gu Huaiye shook his head.
“Your lips look really pale. Do you want me to accompany you to the service desk? They can contact a doctor.”
Just as Gu Huaiye was about to refuse the help, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Four years unseen, Xie Miaohan had grown even more beautiful. Standing at 1.9 meters, he stood out remarkably in the crowd.
Why is Xie Miaohan at the District B airport?
School hasn’t started yet; he should be staying in District A.
Panic flashed across Gu Huaiye’s face. He turned and tried to run.
“Hey, sir, you forgot your luggage.”
Because he ran too hastily, Gu Huaiye was knocked down by a passerby.
He scrambled up in a wretched state, apologizing while continuing to run forward.
“Brother!” Xie Miaohan chased after him and grabbed Gu Huaiye’s arm. “It really is you! Did you come back to see me?”
Gu Huaiye kept his head lowered, not daring to look at Xie Miaohan.
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
“How could I recognize…” Xie Miaohan frowned, looking him up and down. “Why are you so thin? Are you sick?”
This sentence pierced Gu Huaiye. He lifted his head and met Xie Miaohan’s eyes.
“We just met, and you’re cursing me to be sick?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Xie Miaohan didn’t want to make Gu Huaiye angry, so he took the initiative to hug him.
“Brother, you came back to find me, right?”
Things having come to this, Gu Huaiye could only go along with his words and lie.
“Mn. I came back to spend New Year’s with you.”
“Brother is the best.” Xie Miaohan hugged Gu Huaiye tightly. “I knew Brother couldn’t bear to leave me.”
Gu Huaiye was too thin.
Xie Miaohan felt the protruding ridges of his spine on his back, and his expression gradually darkened.
What exactly has my brother been through?
How did he get this thin?
