At that moment, Yue Xin realized more clearly than ever that she couldn’t let Maya die. To be precise, she didn’t want Maya to die. In order for Maya to live, she had to get a doctor, but she couldn’t tell who could be trusted in the prison. Maya had said that she couldn’t trust anyone, but she had also said that Yi Chengxuan was the only nosy powerhouse in the prison. Yi Chengxuan couldn’t be her assassin, which meant that under the current circumstances, Yi Chengxuan could be trusted.
Thinking of this, Yue Xin seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She still couldn’t rely on herself to determine the situation in the prison. She could only trust Maya and believe that Maya didn’t hold back on her. It was also at this moment that Yue Xin remembered what Yue Qing had said to her.
“Why do you care what harm my actions will cause him? He has reservations and schemes against me. If he dies under his reservations and schemes in the end, won’t he be asking for it? Sister, you have to understand that selfishness is human nature. We don’t have to consider the consequences when we do things.
Instead of being hurt by others, it’s better to hurt others.”
If Maya didn’t lie to her and Yi Chengxuan was indeed someone she could rely on, then she would be saved if she called Yi Chengxuan over. But if Maya lied to her, and Yi Chengxuan was a dangerous person, Maya would die because of her lie.
Yue Xin hesitated for a moment, her fingers still on her earphones. Once Maya lied to her and Maya died, there would be no one to eat with her, no one to box for her to see, and no one to nag in her ear. Even the light that she had once had would fade and turn into thicker darkness that would devour her. Her world would return to dead silence and fall into deeper despair.
If that was the case, she might as well not do anything and just take a moment of comfort from the last lie. In the end, Yue Xin still thought that her sister was right. A fool like her who could not distinguish other people’s feelings should not casually interact with others. As long as she did not interact, she would not be hurt. Instead of taking the risk of being hurt, why not just leave it at that?
Yue Xin put her hand down and returned to Maya’s room. She lay by her bed.
But for some reason, when she saw Maya’s uncomfortable expression, Yue Xin’s tears couldn’t stop falling. She was so sad, but she didn’t know why. She didn’t know what she should do. Until now, she had listened to others her entire life.
When she was young, she listened to her parents. After meeting Lu Yu, she listened to Lu Yu. After that, Yue Qing said that she wanted to be her sister, so she handed herself over to her sister without hesitation and lived according to her sister’s wishes. She had always lived for others and rarely had her own thoughts. She felt that this was the most suitable way for her to live. It was the easiest and happiest way. She used to be sad and sad, but after being denied by Lu Yu over and over again, she hid her heart. As time passed, even she thought that she would not be sad anymore. Anyway, no one cared about her feelings, and it was meaningless for her to show her emotions.
But now, Yue Xin really wanted to know what she should do to make Maya like before. There had to be no possibility of failure. There had to be a 100% cure for Maya in this prison.
Yue Xin didn’t make a sound when she cried, but Maya still sensed it. She forced herself to open her eyes and looked at Yue Xin, whose eyes were red from crying. She raised her hand to cover Yue Xin’s eyes. “In prison, hide your tears well.”
Seeing Maya wake up, Yue Xin couldn’t stop crying. Maya could even feel her wet eyelashes fluttering. It made her heart itch.
“Okay, stop crying. Tell me what happened,” Maya said, thinking about it. She didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t eaten braised pork or beef soup that she was crying so sadly.
“Maya, you, don’t die…}” Yue Xin sobbed and said the words that she had buried in her heart. She also exposed her weakness to Maya.
Maya was stunned. She realized that she wasn’t in a good state. No wonder Xin was worried. She thought she was going to die. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Maya’s heart softened completely. Yue Xin was crying because of her. She was so silly and cute.
Maya placed her hand on Yue Xin’s head and gently rubbed it. “Although I don’t seem to be in a good state, I’m not dead yet. I’ve already contacted Yi when you fell asleep. He’ll come over later.”
Yue Xin knew that Maya was talking about Yi Chengxuan, the person in charge of Building No. 5. Her heart skipped a beat. Since Maya would look for Yi Chengxuan, it meant that Maya was not lying to her. Yi Chengxuan was someone she could trust. She had suspected wrongly..
