Chapter 424: Chapter 424: How Can Brother Xin Bear Such Pain?

"Nope, it’s just out of battery; it can’t hurt us," Xiaocha assured.

During her time with Wen Xiao’ai, Xiaocha had noticed that Wen Xiao’ai was not familiar with many electronic devices.

She wouldn’t even use a mobile phone, and sometimes, when she saw a character die on TV, she thought they had really died...

Although it was strange why Wen Xiao’ai was so far behind with technology, Xiaocha didn’t think much about it.

After all, seeing her now playing around like a child, happy and carefree every day, was better than anything.

When Xiaocha said there was nothing wrong, Wen Xiao’ai breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaocha helped her make a phone call to Jun Moyan, and after she told Jun Moyan "I like you, I love you," she went upstairs to brush her teeth and wash her face.

At noon, Wen Xiao’ai had lunch with a freeloader who had come to mooch some food.

"Why aren’t you sticking with Jun Moyan today?" the freeloader asked with a laugh.

"He went out on some business; he’ll be back tonight."

"Oh."

The two chatted over lunch about various insignificant matters.

"I heard from Jun Moyan that you’ve known each other for eight years."

"Yeah, eight years..." The freeloader’s grip on his chopsticks tightened slightly.

His eyes flickered momentarily.

Eight years, a full eight years.

How many eight years does one have in life?

"For you guys, that must seem like a long time."

"Yeah, it is a long time indeed; after all, a human life spans only a hundred years and eight years is almost a tenth of that."

A hundred years.

A hundred years.

Wen Xiao’ai was eating but suddenly froze.

Could it be that Jun Moyan would only live for a hundred years and then he would die after that?

Wen Xiao’ai blanked out completely.

All her friends previously had been demons who lived for hundreds or thousands of years, so she never really thought about lifespan.

Even spending every day with Jun Moyan, constantly saying she wanted to stay with him forever, she had always overlooked the fact that Jun Moyan was merely a human who could only live for decades... While she, on the other hand, still had six lives left and could live for a very long time as a demon.

She had lived for five hundred years, and during that time, days passed without her feeling much, divided between cultivating and playing with friends.

If she hadn’t met Jun Moyan, maybe hundreds or even a thousand years later, time would have always been just a word to her, not something tangible.

She would never have found it so precious or cherished it, but now...

"Jun Moyan..." Wen Xiao’ai sat dumbfounded in her seat, completely lost in thought.

The freeloader watched Wen Xiao’ai suddenly zone out and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He also had never considered this issue before, always avoiding negative thoughts when with his brother.

It wasn’t until the day his brother passed away that he truly realized the vast gulf between them.

The gulf between life and death, how vast was it?

That unbearable pain, the feeling that the whole world was collapsing, was something he still remembered vividly.

Sometimes, he even felt thankful that it was his brother who had closed his eyes forever and not himself.

Because the one forced to live on, driven by a sliver of hope and having to endure the agony of existence, suffered the most.

How could his brother endure such pain?

He cried so easily, one could only imagine how many times he would have cried beside his brother’s corpse.

Wen Xiao’ai sat silently in her chair, lost in her thoughts, and didn’t notice when the freeloader left.

It was only when Xiaocha came in to call her that she snapped back to reality.

"Miss Wen, what’s wrong? Why are you spacing out?"
