4403 The Other Side 372

The man remained silent and looked at him without saying a word.

The young man broke down and shouted, "I only want to live. I just want to live well! Why are you allowed to resort to all means to keep alive but when I want to keep alive, I can't?! This is unfair! This is unfair!"

As the young man spoke, he started to throw up mouthfuls of blood.

Gong Fan staggered to his feet and stood before the young man, looking at him wistfully.

The young man coughed and cried, "Why won't you let me live? Why can't you accommodate me? Why?! Don't I have the right to exist in this world?"

After a series of roars, he suddenly widened his eyes and stopped moving.

The man came to him and squatted down. He sighed and slowly placed his hand over his eyes, gently smoothing them out.

The young man's eyes were closed and his body gradually turned transparent. He slowly turned into anstars and disappeared.

For some reason, Youyou felt sad at the sight.

As the young man gradually disappeared, the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The man picked up the dagger. Gong Fan could not help feeling wary. He stood protectively in front of Youyou and eyed the man warily.

"You… you won't do anything to hurt us, right?!" He couldn't be sure if the man would hurt them.

If he intended to harm them, then he would do his best to protect Youyou even if it meant death.

However, Youyou smiled and gently held Gong Fan's shoulder. He smiled weakly. "Gong Fan, he won't hurt us. Can't you tell? He's been… protecting us…"

Gong Fan was still in disbelief. He turned to look at the man, but he was puzzled. "Why are you protecting us?"

The man did not speak. Instead, he got down on one knee in front of Youyou and gently caressed the boy's cheek.

As if he knew what he was going to do, the boy grabbed his wrist. "No!"

The man was slightly stunned.

"Can't we all live?" He enunciated each word clearly, as if he was attempting to hold him back!

When the man heard this, he came back to his senses, but smiled and shook his head.

"Why?!" The boy did not understand. "We can live on together. I'm willing to accept you, Gong Fan is willing to accept you, and my family is willing to accept you!"

When the man heard this, the light in his eyes flickered.

Gong Fan also understood the man's intentions and dissuaded him. "Don't do anything silly!"

The man suddenly opened the boy's restraints and stabbed the sharp end of the dagger into his own chest.

He was so ruthless that the entire blade of the dagger sank into his chest.

The man groaned in pain and fell to the ground. He leaned against the wall but closed his eyes in peace, as if he was quietly waiting for death.

The boy's felt his heart squeeze so badly that tears streamed down his face. He pushed Gong Fan away and crawled to the man's side. He grabbed his shoulder and asked in a trembling voice, "Why, why did you do this?"

The man opened his eyes and looked at Youyou solemnly. He placed his blood-stained hand gently over the back of the boy's hand.

His thin lips parted slightly and he finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "You… are the proof that I am alive…"

…

You are the proof that I am alive.

This sentence undoubtedly woke the boy up completely. He finally came to his senses!
