Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Lijun lowered his head in silence, making it impossible for Zhao Yan to tell what he was thinking.
Zhao Yan sighed and felt a sense of powerlessness.
He was really anxious!
Why had his brother become like this?
His brother was a very good person in the past.
Could things change so much just because of a woman?
Zhao Yan couldn’t figure it out.
In fact, even Zhao Lijun couldn’t figure out the changes in himself.
Li Xiaoran’s words had touched him very much, so he tried his best to adjust himself and wanted to start over.
But at this time, he met Hu Yutong, who was looking for Zhao Yan.
To be honest, after hearing what Hu Yutong said, Zhao Lijun felt heartbroken.
What was even more hilarious was that his sincerity was treated as something worthless.
As for her cousin-in-law, just because he was a prince, others wanted to curry favor with him.
If she couldn’t curry favor with her cousin-in-law, she would curry favor with her cousin-in-law’s mother-in-law, his eldest aunt.
At this moment, Zhao Lijun realized the importance of power.
Since he was going to start over, Zhao Lijun decided to become a powerful person.
He didn’t want to rely on his cousin-in-law. He wanted to rely on his own abilities to go out and explore.
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t achieve anything after leaving his cousin-in-law’s family.
Zhao Lijun’s ego caused Zhao Lijun’s mentality to change again.
“Brother, say something!” Zhao Yan was very anxious.
Zhao Yan felt that something was wrong, as if his brother was standing at the edge of a cliff.
Zhao Yan wanted to try his best to pull him back, but his brother continued to stand at the edge of the cliff.
How could Zhao Yan not be anxious?!
Zhao Lijun snapped back to reality and looked at Zhao Yan, who was very anxious.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!”
At this point, Zhao Lijun added a piece of firewood and said,
“You’re not me. You don’t understand how I’ve been feeling during this period of time! Zhao Yan, have you ever experienced the feeling of being trampled on by someone? Have you ever risked everything for a woman, but in the end, that woman mocked you for not doing the right thing and not meeting her requirements? You’re not me, so you’ll never understand how I feel!”
Zhao Yan asked, ‘Yes, yes, yes. I can’t understand your feelings, nor can I empathize with you, but I want you to pull yourself together! So, tell me, what do you want to do now?”
Zhao Lijun thought about it carefully, then looked up at the forest in the distance.
“I want to leave this place and White Foothill City. I want to go out and adventure! Zhao Yan, one day, I’ll marry a wife who only likes me!”
After Zhao Yan thought about it, he opened his mouth to say that there was no need to do this, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Perhaps, just as Zhao Lijun had said, he wasn’t him, so he couldn’t understand Zhao Lijun’s thoughts.
Since he wanted to go out and adventure, he should go!
In the end, Zhao Yan said, “Brother, if you think this is the best thing for you, then do it!”
Zhao Yan had already said everything he could. In the end, Zhao Lijun didn’t change his mind, so he had no other choice.
Zhao Lijun was already an adult, so he should be responsible for his own life.
After that, the brothers didn’t talk about this anymore. Instead, they roasted wild animals and drank wine while talking about the past, as they had in Eagle Village.
The next day, when Zhao Yan woke up, Zhao Lijun had already left the stone house.
Zhao Yan sighed and cleaned up the stone house. Then, he left with his things.
Last night, the brothers had already agreed that they would leave the mountain on their own today.
At this moment, Zhao Lijun was probably already talking to parents about venturing out!
To be honest, Zhao Yan didn’t approve of Zhao Lijun’s idea.
However, Zhao Lijun was already determined, so he wouldn’t listen no matter what.
On the way back, Zhao Yan looked listless.
Coincidentally, Li Xiaoran brought Big Yellow and the others out at this time, so the two of them met again.
Li Xiaoran asked curiously, “Eh, Zhao Yan, why are you the only one coming down the mountain today?”
When Zhao Yan saw Li Xiaoran, he felt as if he had found a helper.
“Xiaoran, you came at the right time. Help me with something!”
“Alright, tell me!” Li Xiaoran patted Big Yellow’s head and gestured for it to bring the other dogs around.
Big Yellow understood and led its dog brothers to the forest at the side to run around.
After the two of them found a big rock and sat down, Zhao Yan told Li Xiaoran what had happened last night.
“Cousin, I think something’s wrong with my brother’s situation. I’m very worried that he’ll suffer again after he goes out!” Zhao Yan didn’t hide his worries from Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran a.n.a.lyzed calmly, “Cousin, you’re actually the same as my mother. You all think you’re doing so for other people’s good, but you guys don’t if they need it or not! At this moment, Eldest Cousin won’t listen to anyone’s opinion and will only follow his own plan. Therefore, it’s useless no matter who dissuades Eldest Cousin now!”
Zhao Yan asked, “Should we just let Eldest Cousin do whatever he wants? We know that what he’s doing wrong, but we can’t think of a way to stop him?”
“How should I stop him? Eldest Cousin complained about my mother because of a scheming girl, and now, because of that girl, he’s becoming more and more extreme. To be honest, I think it’s a good thing for him to go out and make a living! If he can withstand the beating outside and improve himself, that’ll be a good thing!”
Zhao Yan asked, ‘What if he fails and gets discouraged in the end?”
“That’s his life and his choice! Second Cousin, you have to remember something. Everyone should pay the price for their choice! Success often requires a lot of effort,” Li Xiaoran said.
“The most important thing isn’t experiencing hardship, but after experiencing hardship, one should perfect oneself and improve oneself.. Therefore, let Eldest Cousin go out and experience it! After all, this is his own decision, so we have no right to interfere! If you don’t want your two to become enemies, I advise you not to interfere in the future! Look, isn’t my mother and Second Uncle’s family’s feud an example?”
