Chapter 1286: Chapter 1085: Live a Little Longer_1 Chapter 1286: Chapter 1085: Live a Little Longer_1 Shen Bai acted as if he hadn’t heard Tong Sanlang’s words, remaining motionless.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. He sighed, “Are you hungry?”
No response.
“Do you want to bathe and change clothes?” Tong Sanlang asked again.
Still no response.
Tong Sanlang’s gaze shifted to his toes, and he sighed softly again, “I am very sorry, it was I who led the men to raid your house, and it was I who captured your brother Shen Lan. It’s normal that you don’t wish to deal with me.”
“Victors reign, losers suffer; having lost, you must accept your fate.”
“As things stand now, to live or to die makes little difference.”
“I can’t persuade you of anything, but I can tell you something, anything can happen in this world. If you live a little longer, you might witness a miracle.”
In terms of his own experiences, he had also lived as if he were disposable for the past seventeen years.
But since meeting Qiao Xiaomai, his black and white life suddenly brightened.
Shen Bai was the same.
Having said these words, he walked towards the back courtyard’s entrance.
There stood two guards at the entrance to the rear courtyard, sent by Yang Wenxiao to monitor Shen Bai. Tong Sanlang passed by them and went to the Warehouse.
He carried out a brand-new bath tub and gathered some toiletries, hoisting them onto his shoulder and heading to the back yard.
First, he heated some water, hoping Shen Bai would bathe.
Then he prepared dinner, four dishes and one soup, complete with color, fragrance, and taste.
He and Shen Bai had some friendship, so it was only right for him to do these things for Shen Bai after having actively sided with Yang Wenxiao against the Shen Family previously.
After finishing these tasks, he said, “You’re not alone, and I think it’s better for you to live.”
Shen Bai continued to lie on the bed, motionless.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang pursed his lips, “I’ll come to visit you again tomorrow.”
Shen Bai lay on the bed, still unresponsive.
What response could there be?
The once beautiful world had suddenly revealed its ugliest and most terrifying side, making life seem pointless.
Mai Yuan.
When Tong Sanlang returned to Mai Yuan, it was already deep into the night, but Qiao Xiaomai and Ailiusa were deep in conversation, showing no signs of fatigue, so he went back to the kitchen to make some tea for them.
“How is Young Master Shen?” Qiao Xiaomai asked while holding her tea cup.
Indeed, after talking for so long, she was thirsty.
“There’s no vitality.”
“With time, with time, it will get better.” Before Qiao Xiaomai could speak, Ailiusa said first, “Time will heal all wounds.”
Tong Sanlang heard this and shook his head slightly, “It’s different, you’re a princess, you still have hope, but his life has no hope left.”
“Moreover, he has always been naive. Prime Minister Shen protected him very well, never mentioning any dirty dealings to him. He’s always lived in a false world created by family and friends, and now that world has collapsed, he can’t accept it.”
Shen Chenghao kept his rebellion a secret from him.
Yang Hao kept his attacks on the Shen Family a secret from him.
The dual blows from family and friends, like a heavy hammer, brought him down in an instant.
Recalling his encounters with Shen Bai, he couldn’t help but sigh with melancholy, “I don’t know how Shen Chenghao managed to raise such a son.”
That sly old fox raised an innocent and sweet child, a miracle.
“I’ll persuade him when I have time,” Ailiusa said, “We have been through similar experiences, we have a common language.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you,” Qiao Xiaomai said immediately, grasping her hand.
She personally didn’t want Shen Bai to continue to sink into despondency.
And having taken so much silver from Yang Hao, she and Tong Sanlang owed it to Shen Bai to take good care of him.
The silver should not be taken in vain.
