Ye Yuwei became helpless and sat down again after getting up. They had been unable to make it in time.

He and Wen Shan were back at square one. Everything had fallen apart.

“Is Wen Shan back?” Ye Yuwei asked softly.

“She was already gone when I came,” said Bai Ying. She put down the cat in her lap, and it went somewhere else to play. “Weiwei, what’s wrong with your brother? What happened?”

Ye Yuwei leaned back in her chair and told Bai Ying the truth after some consideration. The story was long, and it took her a long time to finish it. She left out the part in which the incident had actually been plotted by her father.

Bai Ying soon understood the situation after listening to Ye Yuwei. She understood the reason why Nalan Chunbo had had a nervous breakdown.

“So is his father still alive?” Bai Ying asked softly. “Wen Shan said that Nalan Chunbo became like that after receiving a text message.”

So that text message must be related to his father. His father was the last straw that pushed him into that state.

“Yes, that’s true. But—” Ye Yuwei tried to explain, but Bai Ying cut her off.

“I know.” Bai Ying interrupted then continued, “He needs to resolve this issue by himself, no matter what happens. You’re worried about him, but it doesn’t mean that you can help him resolve this issue and give him an answer at the end.”

Ye Yuwei stopped talking and held the phone in her hand tightly. She wanted to say something but realized that she had nothing to say.

“He will return soon,” Bai Ying said directly.

Ye Yuwei lowered her eyes slightly. She made a soft reply, and both of them became silent after that.

Nobody said anything, but neither of them ended the call.

They were mother and daughter. They should be the most intimate people in this world, but they had become strangers to each other.

“My marriage is set on the Mooncake Festival. Will you be able to come?” Ye Yuwei lowered her voice and asked her mother. She seemed hopeful.

The person on the other side of the phone still remained quiet. Bai Ying’s voice appeared just when Ye Yuwei had given up hope. “I’ll see how it is.”

Ye Yuwei sat on the chair and gazed at her phone. The call had ended but she still stared at her phone screen.

It was just like what she had seen. The relationship between parents and children was just a game of bidding each other farewell. Likewise, it seemed that they had bid each other goodbye the moment when she was born.

But Ye Yuwei was the one who was being sent away.

Wen Shan had left the fishing village. Bai Ying found her room door open and her things gone. It was clear that Wen Shan had left for real this time.

Bai Ying pushed open the door of Nalan Chunbo’s room only to find that he was still lying on the bed. He seemed to have lost his soul.

Bai Ying went over and stopped in front of him. “Have you been defeated just like that?”

Nalan Chunbo stared at the ceiling absently. He was not defeated. He was unable to fight his destiny.

“You gave up before you even started. How can you face your younger sister who has been worried sick about you?” asked Bai Ying again.

“Aunt, don’t you think it would be nice if humans could determine the circumstances of their own birth?” Nalan Chunbo asked suddenly. His voice was slightly high-pitched.

The room became silent again after what he said. Eventually, Bai Ying turned away and left.

Nalan Chunbo still continued to lay there. ‘Now I’ve lost the only sunlight I had. What else do I have now?’
