The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Su Yi locked himself in the room that exuded a faint odor for seven days. During these seven days, the room was like a dark cage, completely isolating him from the outside world.

In this dark corner, Su Yi's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze was distracted, and despair was shrouded in haze. His hair was messy like weeds, his face was pale as paper, and his dry lips were bloodless.

His father was his only source of support and warmth in this world. When he was a child, his father carried him on his broad shoulders through the country paths, with golden rice fields and flying birds forming a beautiful scene.

On summer nights, my father would gently fan himself with a palm-leaf fan, and listen to beautiful old stories as he fell asleep. During every Chinese New Year, the food my father prepared carefully would fill the family with laughter and warmth.

But now, his father has passed away, and the good memories of the past are like sharp blades, piercing his heart again and again.

"I am the most unfortunate person in the world, a useless waste. It's my fault. I harmed my father. If I had cared more, if I could have prevented that accident..." With every sentence he spoke, Su Yi's body trembled, as if being hit by an invisible hammer.

"It's me... I wanted to ensure the safety of our home, so I made my father develop the habit of locking the door every time he entered the room..."

"If it wasn't me...it was me who killed him!"

Su Yi scratched his arm frantically, his nails dug deep into his flesh, leaving shocking bloodstains. His expression was distorted, but he seemed to feel no pain at all, as if only such an extreme action could allow him to find a way to vent his inner pain.

When Su Yi was in deep pain, Xie Xuan'an persisted in preparing meals for him every day, even though Su Yi often did not eat a single bite until the food went bad, Xie Xuan'an never gave up. He would also write warm and encouraging letters,

“You must cheer up.”

Xie Xuan'an currently has no job and is on winter vacation at home, with all his thoughts on Su Yi.

This made his younger brother Xie Ran feel very uncomfortable. Xie Ran has always had a strong possessiveness towards his brother, so naturally he didn't like Su Yi very much.

Sometimes, when she was in extreme pain and loneliness, Su Yi would open those letters.

Seeing Xie Xuan'an's caring words in the letter, he couldn't help but shed tears. He longed to reconcile with Xie Xuan'an and regain warmth and care, but he was worried about his own poor condition and heavy mood, and was afraid of causing trouble for Xie Xuan'an.

This contradiction made him even more painful, and whenever he thought of his father's departure, sadness would surge like a tide, almost swallowing him up.

Xie Ran looked at his brother's hard work and felt resentful of his stubbornness but was also worried that Su Yi would never recover.

He would occasionally write to Su Yi, hoping that he could cheer up, but in his heart he felt that it was Su Yi who had stolen his brother's attention.

Su Yi, who was extremely hungry and thirsty, suddenly felt dizzy, as if there was a fire burning in his stomach, and his throat was so dry that it almost smoked. He felt that he was on the verge of death, and the strong desire to survive drove him.

He used his hands and feet to crawl to the door in a panic and unlocked it tremblingly. Seeing the food and water at the door, he eagerly grabbed the water bottle and swallowed it in big gulps, not caring that the water spilled all over himself.

Then, regardless of the dirt, he directly opened the lid of the meal with his hands and stuffed the food into his mouth frantically, without even using chopsticks. After wolfing down a few mouthfuls, he finally felt a little full, and the feeling of dying temporarily subsided.

However, when he realized his own embarrassment and thought about his own experience, Su Yi broke down and cried again.

When Xie Xuan'an heard Su Yi crying in the room, his heart suddenly tightened.

He rushed into the room without hesitation and hugged Su Yi tightly in his arms.

Su Yi resisted a little at first, but in Xie Xuan'an's warm and strong embrace, she gradually stopped struggling, but continued to sob.

"Su Yi, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xie Xuan'an said softly, his voice gentle and powerful. He gently patted Su Yi's back, his eyes full of tenderness. But deep in that tenderness, there seemed to be a hint of elusive darkness.

Xie Xuanan took Su Yi to the bathroom. Xie Xuanan turned on the faucet, tested the water temperature, gently held Su Yi's hand, applied soap to him, and scrubbed it carefully.

Su Yi was like a helpless child, resisting slightly while obeying Xie Xuan'an's actions.

Xie Xuan'an used a wet towel to gently wipe Su Yi's face, and the tears and dirt on his face were gradually washed away.

Seeing Su Yi like this, Xie Xuan'an's heart was filled with pity, and he secretly vowed to help Su Yi find hope in life again.

But behind that determination, there is an imperceptible darkness.

Afterwards, Su Yi locked himself in the dim room. His heart seemed to be entangled by layers of thorns and he was in extreme pain.

"I am such an incompetent person. Now that my father is gone, what is the meaning of my existence?

"Why is Xie Xuan'an so nice to me? I really don't deserve it!"

Sometimes he curled up in a corner with a hollow look in his eyes as if he had lost his soul; sometimes he suddenly stood up and grabbed his hair like crazy, as if trying to vent the pain in his heart.

"I am a sinner. I failed to protect my father. Everything is my fault."

Su Yi beat the wall in self-blame, her hands were covered in blood but she didn't notice. "Xie Xuan'an's care is a heavy burden for me, I am not qualified to bear it." Tears fell and dripped onto the dirty ground.

These days, Xie Xuan'an came to Su Yi's house every day with a heavy heart. At first, his heart was full of love for Su Yi and his determination to accompany her.

"Su Yi, don't be afraid, I will accompany you through this difficult time." His voice was gentle and powerful.

But as time went by, facing Su Yi's always closed door and unresponsive indifference, Xie Xuan'an's heart began to waver.

"I've tried so hard, but he hasn't changed at all. Is everything I've done in vain? Maybe I should give up." This thought flashed through his mind more than once, but it only appeared when Xie Ran was around.

Xie Xuan'an not only prepared exquisite meals for Su Yi on time every day, but also insisted on writing two letters to Su Yi every day.

The letter read:

"Su Yi, I know you are in great pain right now, but I want to tell you that you are not alone, and I will always be here for you."

Su Yi's heart trembled slightly when she read this sentence, "Will he really stay with me forever?"

"Thinking of the happy times we spent together, when you were full of sunshine and energy, I firmly believe that you will be able to find your former self again."

Su Yi's eyes were moist, "Can the old me really come back?"

"No matter what happens, I will be by your side and accompany you through every low point."

Su Yi's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, "Why is he so determined?"

However, in a corner where no one noticed, Xie Xuan'an's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

All of this seemed to be a carefully planned scheme by him, but Su Yi and Xie Ran were still kept in the dark.
