As dusk approached, I anxiously paced in front of my senior brother's door, hesitant to disturb the doctor inside. After a long wait, just when I could no longer hold back the urge to break down the door, the doctor finally emerged. His grave expression made my heart sink.
"How is my senior brother?" I hurriedly stepped forward, my voice trembling slightly.
"Miss..." The doctor shook his head, bowing to me with deep regret on his face. "I am but a humble physician, and your brother... he cannot hold on much longer."
My senior brother was a doctor himself; if even he could not save himself with his exceptional medical skills, who in the world could save him?
I knew this, yet I was unwilling to accept it.
I had once thought that perhaps the poison in my senior brother could be transferred to someone else, just as it had been before.
Qiao Lan shook her head. "Brother Zhou has never given up. He has been searching for a way to detoxify himself; it's just that we have already tried all the methods we could think of."
The poison had spread rapidly within my senior brother's body; in less than a tea break, it had invaded his internal organs. With his profound inner strength, he could only barely protect his heart meridian.
My senior brother had endured ten years of torment in this hellish state until recently when he sensed that his time was drawing near and wished to see me one last time.
"A Yao,"
When my senior brother awoke again, it was already midnight. He softly called my name, his gaze somewhat unfocused.
"Senior Brother, you're awake."
I released Senior Brother's hand and helped him sit up, my voice hoarse.
"A Yao, I'm fine."
Senior Brother shook his head, a faint comforting smile appearing on his pale face, his voice even weaker.
"Does it hurt?"
I gently caressed his face, a bitter feeling rising in my heart. After finally meeting, would we be separated forever again?
"It hurts, my insides ache."
"Senior Brother, I will definitely find the antidote."
My heart ached to the point of being unable to breathe, hating my own powerlessness.
Senior Brother knew that I didn't have much confidence, but seeing me like this, he couldn't bear to say anything more and just nodded gently.
During this time, I stayed by Senior Brother's side without leaving. We cherished every moment together. The poison in Senior Brother's body continued to consume his vitality; his condition worsened day by day. He fainted more frequently, and the time he spent awake grew shorter until even speaking became a struggle.
Qiao Lan arrived; she left behind the Linglong Stone. If Drunken Dreaming burned everything away, then the Linglong Stone froze everything. A person would fall into a deep sleep, perishing and being reborn in that slumber, but perhaps they would never wake up again.
"I don't know if the Linglong Stone can save brother Zhou, but it can keep brother Zhou's body intact. By holding the Linglong Stone in his mouth, brother Zhou will fall into a deep sleep, his bodily functions will cease, and the poison will no longer spread. But you must be mentally prepared; the process of physical recovery is a long one. As for whether he can wake up, it all depends on brother Zhou's fate."
I carefully embraced my senior brother, tears streaming down uncontrollably; it was one of the rare times I cried so deeply in my life.
If he is gone, then the past will become a blank.
It is the world and also fate, yet I do not believe in destiny.
"Senior brother, do you trust me?"
He nodded with great difficulty, revealing his unique faint smile. Even with his sickly appearance, his charm and grace remained undiminished; he was still that extraordinary young man who shone like a clear sky after rain.
I opened the jade box and took out a crystal-clear jade stone, about the size of my thumb, gently placing it into my senior brother's mouth. I watched as he obediently held it and then slowly closed his eyes.
I lowered my head and kissed his cold lips until I could no longer hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Senior brother, you must come back soon; don't make me wait too long. It doesn't matter if it's not soon; I have a lifetime to wait for you.
Senior brother, in this life, we either live together or die together. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...
