Chapter 1150

Because she resembled Shengxue, so he gave her…

Baili Xia didn’t know if she was shocked, astonished, or perhaps… doubtful.

Bei Tianyou clearly cherished Lièyàn so much, but whatever he said, she knew he would follow through.

Once he said he’d give it away, he really would, no matter how much he liked it.

What she doubted was only the similar feeling between Lièyàn and Shengxue, why would it be this way?

Taking another look at Lièyàn, she suddenly stepped back, shaking her head.

“I don’t want it, no matter how good it is, it’s not Shengxue. In this lifetime, I don’t want to raise another horse.”

Shengxue was irreplaceable in her heart.

Even if the time they spent together was not long, the affection she felt, she would never forget for her entire life.

“What if it is a blood relative of Shengxue?” Bei Tianyou lowered his head to look at her.

Baili Xia was startled, she lifted her head, meeting his gaze: “Blood… relation?”

“It is Shengxue’s brother, by direct bloodline.”

Bei Tianyou patted Lièyàn’s head, and Lièyàn immediately bolted outside.

But it didn’t go far, only stopping on the open ground ahead, leisurely grazing.

Baili Xia was so astonished by Bei Tianyou’s words that she was completely speechless.

Lièyàn…

is Shengxue’s brother, and by direct bloodline…

So, it means that Shengxue’s fondness of Bei Tianyou wasn’t because he was handsome, and she became infatuated.

But rather… had they known each other from much earlier on?

“Shengxue lived at the Bei Family for several years, it was my horse just like Lièyàn.”

Bei Tianyou looked out towards the distant horizon, thinking of Shengxue’s form from young to old, his heart suddenly filled with sharp pain.

But, while a woman with a broken heart can cry and vent, what about a man?

Tears are not something men should indulge in.

So, even if his heart ached, he could still hold his head up high, allowing tears to flow backward.

“Over a year ago, it went out to play with Lièyàn.

When it returned, only Lièyàn came back alone.”

“Was it… stolen by someone?” Baili Xia covered her heart, suddenly feeling another wave of sadness.

“I don’t know whether it wandered off on its own, or if someone took it,” Bei Tianyou controlled his emotions, turning to look back at her.

“In any case, when we met again, it was already living in Mu Mansion, and it had become your horse.”

“It was Uncle who brought it back from the racetrack.” How could those people be so cruel?

How could they abduct someone else’s horse so casually, and then sell it to the racetrack owner at a high price?

How is that different from kidnapping someone’s child?

When Shengxue was abducted, the pain in Bei Tianyou and Lièyàn’s hearts must have been immense!

“But…” Baili Xia was still somewhat unable to accept it, “last time you saw it in Mu Mansion, why… why didn’t you speak up and take it… home?”

If Bei Tianyou had taken Shengxue away at that time, Shengxue could have escaped that calamity; it wouldn’t have died!

“Because, you treated it well, and it had also grown fond of you.”

Bei Tianyou turned around, taking steps towards the direction where Lièyàn was grazing, leaving her with only his solitary back.

“Shengxue had a fiery temperament, not just anyone could be its friend.

It chose you, there must be something special about you that attracted it.”

“As long as it was happy, that’s fine by me, I respect its choice.”

He just never thought that the farewell at Mu Mansion would, unexpectedly, be the last.

Baili Xia watched his retreating figure, her heart souring along with his.

But from this moment on, she would not be weak anymore.

Brother You had left her such a wonderful Shengxue, and Shengxue in turn left her such a precious life; if she didn’t learn to pick herself up, how could she be worthy of Shengxue’s sacrifice?
