Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 465 I beg you

Qin Huairu cried and said, "Shazhu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I just... I was just too scared."

"Afraid? What are you afraid of?" asked Sha Zhu.

"I'm afraid of living alone, I'm afraid of having no one to rely on. I... I'm afraid of being bullied by others." Qin Huairu cried even more sadly.

Sha Zhu felt mixed emotions as he looked at Qin Huairu, who was crying bitterly.

He knew Qin Huairu's past and he knew she had experienced a lot of hardships.

He always thought that he would be Qin Huairu's support, and he would protect her and stop her from suffering.

But now, he realized that he was wrong.

He couldn't protect Qin Huairu at all, he couldn't even protect himself.

"Huai Ru, please go." Sha Zhu's voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.

Qin Huairu was stunned. "Silly Zhu, you...what did you say?"

"I told you to go! I don't want to see you again!" Sha Zhu's voice was full of disgust.

Qin Huairu's tears fell like beads from a broken string, "Silly Zhu, I beg you, don't chase me away. I... I have nowhere to go."

Sha Zhu turned around and didn't look at Qin Huairu, "Go away, I don't want to see you again!"

Qin Huairu ran out crying, and Sha Zhu sat dejectedly on the ground, his heart filled with pain and despair.

He didn't know what to do. He felt his world was dark and without a single ray of light.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door...

Sha Zhu sat on the ground dejectedly, tears blurring his eyes. He felt like a puppet whose soul had been drained out, with only an empty shell left. The knocking on the door continued, hammering at his heart, making him even more irritated.

"Who is it?" Sha Zhu shouted in a rough voice with a strong nasal tone.

A timid voice came from outside the door: "Brother Shazhu, it's me, Yushui."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and opened the door.

Yu Shui was standing outside the door, holding a basket with some food in it. Seeing Sha Zhu's red and swollen eyes, Yu Shui asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Sha Zhu choked up and told Yu Shui what had happened.

After listening to this, Yu Shui was silent for a moment, then said: "Brother, don't be too sad. Sister Qin also has her own difficulties."

Sha Zhu suddenly raised his head and glared at Yu Shui, "Difficulties? What difficulties? She treated me like a fool, she doesn't love me at all!"

Yu Shui sighed, "Brother, I know you are very sad, but you have to understand Sister Qin. She is a widow with three children, and life is not easy. She just wants to find someone to rely on and give her children a complete home."

"Rely on? What does she think of me as? A cash machine?" Sha Zhu roared, "If she really wanted to live with me, I wouldn't say anything. But she has been lying to me. She never thought about living a good life with me!"

Yu Shui put down the basket, walked to Sha Zhu, and gently patted his shoulder. "Brother, I know you feel bad, but you also have to think about it. Sister Qin has had a hard time too. Please forgive her this time."

"Forgive? Why should I forgive her? She hurt me so deeply, how can I forgive her?" Sha Zhu's voice was hoarse and full of pain.

"Brother, I know you are angry, but you can't keep going like this. You have to cheer up and live a good life." Yu Shui advised.

"Cheer up? How can I cheer up? My heart has been hollowed out by her, how can I cheer up?" Sha Zhu covered his chest in pain.

Yu Shui felt very sad when she saw Sha Zhu's painful expression. She knew that Sha Zhu loved Qin Huairu deeply, and she also knew how big of a blow this time was for him.

"Brother, don't be like this, you still have me. I will always be with you." Yu Shui comforted.

Sha Zhu raised his head and looked at Yu Shui's concerned eyes, and he felt a little better.

"Yushui, thank you." Shazhu said with a sob.

"Brother, why are you being so polite to me?" Yu Shui smiled, "Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."

Sha Zhu nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate in silence.

Yu Shui looked at Sha Zhu, her heart full of worry. She knew that Sha Zhu still had Qin Huairu in his heart, and he had not really let go of this relationship.

After dinner, Yu Shui packed up the dishes and prepared to leave.

"Yu Shui, wait a minute." Sha Zhu called out to Yu Shui.

"What's wrong, brother?" Yu Shui asked.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yushui, can you do me a favor?"

"What help do you need? Tell me." Yu Shui said.

"Can you go see Qin Huairu and ask her what's going on?" Sha Zhu said.

Yu Shui was stunned for a moment, "Brother, do you... do you still want to reconcile with her?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, "No, I just want to know the truth. I want to know why she did this to me."

Yu Shui sighed, "Brother, why do you have to do this? What will happen if you know the truth? It will only make you more miserable."

"I just want to know. I don't want to be confused." Sha Zhu insisted.

Yu Shui looked at Sha Zhu's determined eyes and knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree.

"Okay, brother, I'll go ask her." Yu Shui said.

"Thank you, Yushui." Shazhu said gratefully.

Yu Shui left Sha Zhu's house and walked towards Qin Huairu's house.

Sha Zhu sat alone in the house, feeling uneasy. He didn't know what kind of news the rain would bring back, nor did he know how to face the truth.

It was late at night, and the rain had not returned. Sha Zhu was getting more and more anxious, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sha Zhu ran to open the door and saw Yu Shui standing outside. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear.

"Yushui, what's wrong? What happened?" Shazhu asked anxiously.

Yu Shui trembled and said, "Brother... Sister Qin... she... she is dead..."

The trembling sound of the rain was like thunder, roaring in Sha Zhu's ears. Qin Huairu was dead? How could it be? He staggered back a few steps, holding on to the wall to barely stand.

"How...how did he die?" Sha Zhu's voice was dry, as if his throat was filled with sand.

Yu Shui cried and said, "I... I don't know either. When I arrived at her house, the door was open, and when I went in... I saw her lying on the bed, motionless..."

Sha Zhu's eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He couldn't accept the fact that a person who was alive yesterday had turned into a cold corpse today. He stumbled out of the door and ran towards Qin Huairu's house.

Pushing open the half-open door, a strong smell of medicine hit him. Qin Huairu lay quietly on the bed, her face pale, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. Sha Zhu rushed to the bedside, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and felt her breath, but she was no longer breathing.
