Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"elder brother..."

Just as Zixiao was about to shout something, Yuche stopped her.

Yu Che shook his head, indicating that she should ignore it.

Then... naturally, they both heard a thud.

Mo Lingyun, who was walking backwards, fell into the lake.

But Yu Zhe did not.

He watched from the shore, and after a while, Mo Lingyun struggled to pop her head out of the lake.

"Haa! Cough!"

She looked pained, apparently having choked on some water.

However, the moment she poked her head out...

Yu Zhe reached out and pressed her head down, forcefully pushing her back into the water once again...

49. Ways to transcend life and death

This scene not only stunned Zixiao, but also left Yuche speechless.

She did predict that her brother would resort to some extreme measures this time, since extreme situations require extreme measures.

But she never expected it to be this extreme!

Even so, she still told Zixiao not to go and stop her.

Zixiao understood this as well. They believed that their brother must have had a reason for doing this, and that he was also acting with discretion.

As for Lu Ling and Lu Yao who were guarding in the distance, there's no need to say anything. Unless Young Master Yu Zhe, Miss Yu Che, and Miss Zi Xiao are in danger, they will not and have no right to act.

Therefore, Yu Zhe's actions faced absolutely no resistance.

He tried his best to maintain a blank expression, waiting for Mo Lingyun to struggle to stick her head out of the water each time, then he would ruthlessly push her back underwater.

With a series of splashing sounds, she was pushed back into the water before she could even stay on the surface for a second.

Yu Zhe didn't even give her a chance to speak or take a proper breath.

Clearly, she cannot swim and has no idea how to hold her breath underwater.

As she surfaced more often, she appeared to be in increasing pain, and after a few times, even her coughs became intermittent.

Yu Zhe was only putting on a brave face; in reality, his heart was bleeding.

Every time he pressed Yun'er down, he felt as if a muffled bell was striking his heart.

But... he had no choice.

After it's all over, Yu Zhe will definitely slap himself a few times.

So Yun'er, you have to be patient for now...

The sixth time.

Mo Lingyun was probably exhausted from struggling, so she stayed underwater for a longer time before surfacing.

This time, Yu Zhe didn't press her down directly, but gave her time to speak.

"Cough! Cough cough! I... Brother Yuzhe... Brother, cough! Please don't... be disappointed... okay... cough!"

hiss...

At a time like this, you shouldn't be thinking about how not to disappoint me!

Not enough...

With a heavy heart, Yu Zhe pushed her down again, and this time she was unable to float up on her own.

It was Yu Zhe who leaned out and grabbed her collar to pull her out of the water.

At this moment, she seemed to have no strength left to even speak.

His expression was one of deep sadness; his hair was completely soaked and stuck to his face, and his heterochromatic eyes were devoid of any light.

She squinted, as if she might lose consciousness at any moment, and two lines of tears could be clearly seen at the corners of her eyes.

Even so, she still struggled to reach out and cup Yu Zhe's face in her hands.

Her voice was barely audible.

"Yu Zhe...brother...I...love you...ah..."

"Yun'er..."

The smile on her face now looks truly pathetic.

She forced a smile, clearly believing that Yu Zhe had abandoned her, but not wanting to disappoint him.

But what Yu Zhe needs to do is only just beginning.

He grabbed Mo Lingyun by the collar and pulled her face close to his.

"Yun'er, I am really disappointed in you."

"No...don't..."

She probably swallowed too much water; she can't even speak a complete sentence now.

But when she heard Yu Zhe say the word "disappointment," two lines of tears immediately slid down her cheeks.

This is not finished.

Yu Zhe lowered his head, sighed, and then said.

"I never expected my Yun'er to become like this, constantly saying she wants to die. It breaks my heart. Okay, I know."

I know I can't stop you, but compared to suicide, wouldn't it be easier for you to send me on my way personally...?

Upon hearing Yu Zhe's words, Mo Lingyun's smile froze.

Then, that frozen smile slowly turned into a relaxed one.

"Okay... thank... thank... Brother Yuzhe..."

She finished speaking with all her might, then leaned back. Yu Zhe let go, and she fell into the water again with a splash.

This time she didn't struggle at all.

Gazing at the shimmering lake surface under the moonlight, Mo Lingyun, though unable to breathe, surprisingly felt no pain.

Actually, I feel quite happy...

My consciousness was slowly fading, and it seemed like I was seeing things from many years ago in my mind.

I haven't done anything particularly significant in my life, but the time I spent following Brother Yuzhe was the happiest and most meaningful time of my life.

It was unfortunate, yet also a stroke of good fortune.

Just because I met you, even the most meaningless things seem incredibly meaningful.

Even now, the gentle words of Brother Yu Zhe still echo in my ears.

In the very end, it was Yu Zhe who gently let go of her hand and pushed her into the lake...

Let's end it here...

Brother Yuzhe, I hope you will be happy in the future. Yun'er will always love you.

The instant she closed her eyes.

She could faintly hear Yu Zhe's voice.

Yu Zhe, who was originally standing on the shore, now squatted down, trying to get his face as close to the water as possible, and shouted into the water.

"Yun'er! I hope you are happy in another world! But! From now on, I will no longer be here! In another world, I will not exist! So, farewell, Yun'er! I will try my best to forget you! I will definitely forget you!"

Mo Lingyun could hear these words clearly from below the water's surface.

What does "farewell forever" mean again...?

We'll never see each other again, and we'll never meet again?

Forget me? Those times... scene by scene, are they all going to disappear completely?

Mo Lingyun's heartbeat, which had been gradually stabilizing, suddenly started beating more and more violently.

The gradually dissipating consciousness gradually reassembled.

If I close my eyes, I will never see Brother Yuzhe again, nor will I ever hear his voice again.

don't want...

This feeling is so desperate, it's more despairing than suffocating underwater.

She had never felt this emotion before.

Death itself is not so frightening, but the words "farewell forever" are what truly break one's heart.

Disappointment is nothing... trouble is nothing... I don't want to say goodbye forever! We finally got to meet, why must we say goodbye forever!

She suddenly opened her eyes and exhaled a mouthful of air underwater.

She still couldn't breathe, but somehow, she regained the strength to move her limbs.

She first stretched her hand out of the water, then tried her best to stick her head out. She had never tried so hard to do anything in her life. Ignoring her throat, which was almost unable to speak, she shouted hoarsely at Yu Zhe in front of her.

"No! I don't want to!! Brother Yuzhe! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to say goodbye to you forever! I don't want to be forgotten by you! Save me!"

Even with conscious effort, physical strength is limited.

Her physical condition had long been at its limit. After shouting those words, she felt completely powerless and collapsed back onto the dark lake.

However, before she fell, Yu Zhe jumped into the lake and steadily supported her waist.

"Yu Zhe...Brother?"

Looking at Yu Zhe who was hugging her from behind with blurry vision, it seemed... Brother Yu Zhe was smiling.

Unlike the disappointment on his face just now, Yu Zhe now smiled with satisfaction and joy.

Mo Lingyun suddenly felt so warm, and completely surrendered herself to Yu Zhe's arms. Exhausted, she fainted.

Yu Zhe looked at Yu Che, Zi Xiao, Lu Ling, and Lu Yao running towards him from the shore, and then at Mo Lingyun, who was nestled in his arms with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face.
