Chapter 158 Jealousy and Dissatisfaction, Secret Evil

The night was as dark as water, and the moonlight gently and quietly filtered through the window, falling on Xie Ran and his brother's bed like a layer of gauze.

Xie Ran's eyes were fixed on his brother all the time, watching his brother Xie Xuan'an pour all his heart and eyes of care into Su Yi without reservation and wholeheartedly.

The meals that her brother prepared for Su Yi were delicious, and the aroma they gave off seemed to penetrate the walls.

The tenderness flowing between the lines of the affectionate letter written by my brother,

It seems to transform into wisps of gentle spring breeze, gently blowing across people's hearts, making people feel warm and touched; the fresh fruits sent by my brother are plump, and each one carries full of love.

However, although Xie Ran slept in the same bed with his brother, he did not feel the same level of care and love.

Every night, Xie Ran lay quietly beside his brother. When he heard his brother occasionally mention Su Yi's name in his sleep, his heart would suddenly feel as if it was pricked by countless tiny needles. He tossed and turned in pain, unable to fall asleep.

His mind kept replaying over and over again all the thoughtful and considerate actions his brother had taken towards Su Yi. In comparison, he felt more and more as if he had been deeply forgotten in a dark corner and was being neglected.

He looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, and the bitterness in his heart was like a vine that kept spreading, becoming more and more intense, almost wrapping around him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.

During the day, my brother always got up early and concentrated on preparing everything for Su Yi.

However, the food prepared for himself and Xie Ran was simple and casual.

My brother's eyes were always fixed on Su Yi's room, hoping that the tightly closed door would slowly open.

Xie Ran tried to communicate with his brother, expecting a serious response from him, but all he got was a careless and perfunctory answer.

This feeling of being ignored continued to accumulate and intensify day by day, and Xie Ran became more and more painful in his heart.

He began to deeply doubt his position in his brother's heart and felt that he was gradually becoming less important.

His mood became lower and lower day by day. He often sat alone in a corner, staring blankly. He looked as if he had lost his soul. His heart was filled with loss and helplessness, as if the whole world had become dark and gloomy.

In order to attract his brother's attention, Xie Ran deliberately cut his finger while helping his brother cut vegetables, and blood flowed out instantly.

When his brother heard his scream, he hurried over. When he saw his injured finger, his face was instantly filled with worry and heartache. He hurriedly bandaged his wound carefully and comforted him softly.

At that moment, Xie Ran finally felt a brief sense of joy in his heart, feeling that he finally had his brother's care at this moment.

However, before the smile that had just appeared on his face could fully bloom, his brother's gaze quickly turned in the direction of Su Yi.

However, not long after, his brother was only concerned about preparing things for Su Yi, and his concern for Xie Ran gradually faded.

Xie Ran's heart fell into the abyss again. He knew that his brother's concern for him was only a very brief moment, far less than the care he gave to Su Yi. He stood there listlessly and withered, like an eggplant hit by frost, his eyes full of loss and numbness.

So, Xie Ran deliberately fell down while cleaning, and his knee was badly broken and blood oozed out.

When his brother saw this, he ran over with a nervous look on his face to take care of him, but this kind of concern was like a flash in the pan and soon disappeared.

Xie Ran gradually fell into deep despair. He couldn't understand why no matter how hard he tried to hurt himself, his brother's concern always tended to Su Yi.

Su Yi had been hungry in the room for a long time and could no longer bear the torture of hunger. Finally, she opened the door carefully and slowly.

The exquisite meal that Xie Xuan'an had carefully prepared was placed quietly at the door. When Su Yi saw it, he sat down directly at the door and couldn't wait to start devouring it, with a satisfied smile unconsciously on his face.

All of this was seen completely by Xie Ran who was hiding nearby. Su Yi's satisfied expression was particularly glaring to him, as if it was the most ruthless and cruel mockery of him.

He secretly hid in the corner, staring at Su Yi's expression like a poisonous snake.

The jealousy and anger in his heart suddenly erupted like a volcano. He felt that Su Yi did not deserve such happiness, let alone the care given by his brother.

His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, his brows were furrowed tightly, his teeth were clenched tightly, and there was only one extremely strong thought in his mind:

He must destroy Su Yi's smile. He must make Su Yi never be so happy again. As long as he is stubborn for a while longer, his brother will definitely give up on this person.

After that, Xie Ran has been secretly doing all kinds of small things behind the scenes.

When he saw the delicious meal his brother had carefully prepared for Su Yi, the jealousy in his heart spread like wild weeds.

Once, his brother spent several hours carefully preparing a table full of delicious dishes. The fragrant aroma made Xie Ran swallow his saliva continuously.

But when he thought that this table full of delicious food was prepared for Su Yi, his dissatisfaction immediately surged in his heart. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he ate up all the food in one go.

While he was wolfing down the food, a trace of guilt flashed through his mind for a moment. After all, Su Yi had just lost his father, and it would be too much if he starved him to death because of him.

However, this extremely brief moment of guilt was soon overwhelmed by the surging jealousy in my heart.

Xie Ran had seen all the good things his brother had done for Su Yi, and the flames of jealousy burned more and more fiercely in his heart.

Not only did his brother cook different kinds of food for Su Yi every day, he also wrote letters to Su Yi patiently to comfort him.

But Su Yi was often ungrateful. She would often not eat a single bite of the food her brother had carefully prepared, and would just leave it there until the food went bad, thus wasting her brother's sincerity and affection in vain.

Su Yi was simply an extremely annoying guy. He refused to eat such delicious food, and he also threw tantrums like an ignorant child every day. He just stayed at their house all the time and refused to go back to his own home which had been burned down.

Xie Ran's heart was filled with resentment:

"Why on earth would he waste my brother's time and energy like this? My brother is so good to him, but he doesn't know how to appreciate it at all!"

He rearranged his leftover, rotten food in an attempt to get away with it.

Xie Ran would also secretly burn the warm and caring words in Xie Xuan'an's letters to Su Yi, and replace them with cold and sarcastic words written in his own imitation of his brother's handwriting.

He knew very well that doing so was extremely risky and that he would most likely be discovered and exposed, but whenever he heard Su Yi sobbing from next door, he became extremely happy, as if all the unhappiness in his heart had disappeared at that moment.

His heart seemed to be shrouded in a dark haze, constantly driving him to commit these vile and despicable acts.

But whenever it was late at night and everything around him was quiet, when Xie Ran was lying alone in bed, that vague sense of guilt would quietly emerge in his heart, causing him to suffer.

That sense of guilt was like a ghost, lingering in his mind and could not be shaken off.

At night, Xie Ran hugged his brother tightly and fell asleep. In the darkness, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, you cook for Su Yi every day, but he often doesn't eat. The food goes bad. Isn't that a waste?"

My brother opened his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Of course, this is not a waste. Su Yi is now in the most difficult time of his life. It is normal for him to feel uncomfortable and have no appetite.

I cook for him because I hope he can truly feel the warmth. Even if he doesn't eat for the time being, as long as he knows that someone cares about him, maybe one day in the future, he will be willing to come out of the haze, eat well, and live a good life.

Moreover, caring for someone should not be stopped easily because of his temporary rejection. This is what a brother should do. "

Xie Ran felt mixed emotions after hearing his brother's words. On the one hand, he felt that his brother was too kind; on the other hand, he felt extremely ashamed of his previous jealous thoughts and various small thoughts.

At the same time, he felt a deep sense of loss in his heart, because he longed for his brother to care about him unconditionally. These complex emotions were intertwined like a tangled mess, making him unable to fall asleep for a long time.

In Su Yi's room next door, the dim light reflected his haggard face.

Su Yi has been living in anxiety for some time. Ever since he discovered that Xie Xuan'an no longer wrote to him, he felt that all kinds of strange things were happening frequently.

First, the food was no longer as fresh and delicious as before, and then the words in the letters became cold and heartless.

He began to get scared. He really didn't want to lose Xie Xuan'an, his only good friend.

He trembled all over every night, wanting to open the door and confess his true feelings to Xie Xuan'an, but every time he smelled the unpleasant odor on his body and saw his sloppy appearance, he felt extremely inferior and never had the courage to take that step.

Every night, he could only imagine over and over again in his dreams the beautiful scene of them getting back together.

Recalling their good old memories over and over again.

Su Yi's inner world is very fragile. Even when he is most lonely, he has never been a proactive person.

The beauty of the dream and the loneliness of reality formed a very sharp contrast, which made his heart even heavier, as if a huge stone was pressing on it, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He became more sensitive and often cried because of the words in the letter.

Su Yi:

I have invested so much effort and hope in you, but every time I see you are still depressed and indifferent. I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe one day, I will no longer be able to give for you. - Xie Xuan'an

Su Yi:

I once thought that as long as I was attentive enough, I could warm your world and help you stand up again. But now, I begin to doubt whether I am too naive. This kind of dedication with no end in sight makes me feel confused. - Xie Xuan'an

Su Yi:

I have been trying to be your support and protect you from wind and rain. But your response is always so weak. I am really afraid that one day, I will lose the courage to continue in this long wait. - Xie Xuan'an

Su Yi twisted the letter tightly, and her whole body felt like she was falling into an icy cave. Her heart was torn apart, and the pain reached her bones. Every breath she took was filled with endless pain, and she cried until she could no longer shed tears.

"what do I do..."

"Don't give up on me..."

The letters were sometimes warm and sometimes cold. Su Yi couldn't figure out what Xie Xuan'an meant.

He curled up helplessly on the ground, tightly holding the three letters he had received during this period of time.

"Are you giving up?" Su Yi's voice trembled.

He remembered that not long ago he had slept with Xie Xuan'an in his arms, and their relationship was so close. But in just one week, the changes were so great.

He could only sit on the ground in despair, staring blankly, or sometimes lying on the bed like a puddle of mud, unable to help but fall asleep.

When will all this end?
