About my hopeless brother and sister

If you really can't, just kneel down in front of Lin Yiran and beg her to come back and marry her.

As long as I can be there to take care of my sister, I'll give anything. There's nothing I can't give up, and if my sister needs it, it doesn't matter if I give her my eyes.

"Doctor, will I be able to transplant my corneas to my sister?"

"Yes it can be...it's just...well...the living can't." The doctor looked at me, pressed my shoulders and said, "Don't you dare think about it young man, even if you give your sister your corneas, can your sister face life without you? This...the corneas and other words...maybe even right, just you have to get over it, your sister needs you more than one eye."

I nodded silently and looked in my sister's direction. The doctor looked at me, patted me heavily on the shoulder, and walked into the elevator. I sat in a chair off to the side, staring at my hand.

My sister was going to live, my sister's life was saved, my sister wouldn't leave me....

Just.....

A sister in the future would not be able to leave me... I would be even less able to give such a sister to someone else... A sister in the future would have to follow me... And, if I died.... It might help my sister even more....

How am I going to save my eyes....

Chapter 244 about my burned out future (4)

"My sister just had a hope of surviving, and sure enough we're about to have a negotiation."

I said calmly as I looked across the table at my uncle. The uncle who could be considered to have rushed back was also very calm, and after learning about my sister's situation, he came with me to this coffee shop. The interior was all brown paint coffee shop, no, I should say it was the color of coffee beans, it looked classy with a melodious piano sound. My uncle and I arrived here and started a conversation in a small corner at the very back of the place.

My uncle nodded, took the coffee and said, "Everything has to be negotiated before we can continue, that's the way we always do it. We don't need to think about Rhyme's funeral now that he's been able to survive, but we need to think about Rhyme's future life. In my previous conversation, if we can't satisfy both sides beforehand, neither side will come to work wholeheartedly."

"Businessman's thinking?"

"Yeah, I'm the businessman."

I take a sip of my coffee, and I have to say that the coffee here is really bitter, my usual coffee is either instant or Starbucks for twenty bucks. The coffee here might really be made from coffee beans, I don't know anything about coffee, nor do I know anything about businessmen, but I know my own cards.

"You don't need to blame me for this, Qin Feng, after all, I didn't expect this to happen, whether or not the next door should be renovated, this matter didn't inform me. Moreover, as an adult, Yun Yun should be able to take care of herself, and that's why I was relieved to leave her at home."

My uncle looked me in the eyes and said softly but without apology, perhaps as he said, in his heart he really had no responsibility whatsoever. Yes, I also understood that the fire had nothing to do with my uncle who was far away, and that this was not the outcome that uncle wanted, rather it was uncle's fault that everything that was burned belonged to him, and uncle was the victim. However, is it true that uncle, as the guardian of this matter, has no responsibility at all?

"You left your sister and cousin home alone, which is a dereliction of duty in itself, isn't it?"

I looked at my uncle, my tone was a bit strong, and although I wanted to hold back from getting angry, I was still very upset with this business-like attitude of my uncle. But there's nothing I can say, since I said uncle wants to have a good talk, then let's have a good talk.

The most important thing in this kind of negotiation is still leverage. However, what kind of leverage do I have on my side? I don't have any leverage on my side, I can't use my sister as leverage, after all, she didn't explicitly say herself that she must live with me in the future, but I must live with my sister in the future to do so, what do I have to do, to convince my uncle? No, I should say, how much leverage do I have to use to get my uncle to back down?

"Is this a dereliction of duty? Well, what you have to say, sort of." Uncle sighed, then said, "But, Qin Feng, you should know that Rhyme is already an adult, and my custody of her ends here. Taking a step back, even Anna knows when to escape and how to deal with emergencies. Do you think this is my problem? There's nothing wrong with the way the rhyme is handled, but there are consequences of grief, and that's the power of irreversibility. People don't do everything right, and there will always be times when it's clear that nothing is wrong, but the ending must be sad."

"But..."

"Besides, even if you threw all the responsibility at me, what could you do? Now that we're out, are we going to make a liability determination? That's not the job we're supposed to do, that's what a police judge is supposed to do, yet right now, I have no responsibility." My uncle didn't give me a chance to speak, but raised his voice so that I had to shut up.

Uncle was right, it didn't matter where the responsibility lay, the responsibility for this incident lay with the irresponsible property and the neighbor who had placed the materials indiscriminately, but the neighbor had been burned to death and I couldn't say anything about the dead. But I can't even throw fire at my uncle, and the point we came here today to discuss is not whose responsibility it should be, but, what my sister is going to do from now on.

"Then since you don't have anything else to talk about, let's stop the irrelevant topics. Let's discuss Rhyme's future. The dead don't need a future, but Rhyme does, and Rhyme needs a different one."

My uncle placed his hands on the table and I picked up my coffee cup and took another sip of the frowningly bitter coffee. I sighed and said, "Okay, that's what I thought. Since you're here to talk to me, Uncle, I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you'd like your sister to do."

Uncle leaned back and laughed twice, but there was nothing pleasant in that laugh, and he said, "What can I get Rhyme to do? No, no, no, no, we are not doing anything to Yunyun, but what we are doing to Yunyun. My idea is simple, I have the connections and financial resources on my side, I will send Yun Yun to a foreign country to receive better medical treatment, and I will do everything I can to help Yun Yun recover, not to mention there will be professionals to take care of Yun Yun's daily life. Let Rhyme have a perfect future in the future, that's what I want."

"Let someone else take care of my sister? Letting someone else take care of my sister is what will happen now."

I clenched my fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, I know what you have Uncle, you have what I don't, but do you think I can ever let my sister leave me? If it wasn't for you, if you hadn't taken my sister away, she wouldn't have been in this situation and she should have been hanging around the house instead of lying there. And you have the nerve to talk to me about letting someone else take care of my sister? Uncle, I can't trust anyone else, you're the only family we have, the only family the only sister under the care of our elders will be burned, so can I trust the words of others?!"

"Qin Feng, you're being unreasonable, you're forcing possibilities. This incident is just an accident!"

"But who says this accident can only happen once?"

I looked up at my uncle, I didn't know how fierce I looked, but I could feel all the muscles in my face twitching, if I were a beast, I would have jumped over it by this time, "It's all your fault, if you hadn't taken my sister away...she wouldn't have been able to This happens!"

My uncle looked at me, his face was hidden by the shadows so I couldn't see his expression, but right now my anger was really fired up, I didn't know what leverage I had, but I knew I would never back down a second time.

"I'm not taking Rhyme? What will happen to you if I don't take Rhyme?"

My uncle slapped the table and his voice became stern, "What are you doing do you understand? Do you have any idea how disgusting what you're doing is! If you had to talk about it, if you could control your disgusting feelings for your sister, would I take Rhyme away?!"

"I forbid you to say that my relationship with my sister is disgusting! You're the one who's sick, not us! We've done nothing, but you've made a fool of yourself!"

I slammed the table in anger and hissed at my uncle, the coffee inside the cup shaking in panic and spilling onto the table.

"It wasn't even my self-righteousness! Don't you think I understand? You think I don't know anything? Do you think I don't understand your feelings! You're the one who doesn't understand anything, not me! I know what's going to happen to you guys because I've been there! You think I'm not like you? It's better to say you're the person I was! I'd hate that dead man who took my sister out if I fell responsibility!"

My uncle showed no sign of weakness, I saw the same angry twisted expression on my uncle's face, we both clenched our teeth and looked into each other's eyes, if it wasn't for the last shred of sanity we would have been fighting by this time.

The roar of my uncle and I silenced the entire cafe, and the waiter behind us looked at us with his tray in fear, wanting to approach but not daring. We were silent for a couple of seconds, it wasn't good to make a scene here, and we sat back down and looked at the table in silence, the music and footsteps that had stopped around us resumed, and here we were, creating a vacuum for the time being.

"Ahem...well, as I said before, we're not here this time to discuss whose fault it was. We don't need to go into what happened before, I've already said what I think, Qin Feng, speak for yourself."

After an awkward silence, my uncle spoke first. I took a deep breath and drank the rest of the coffee inside the cup in one go, some of the hot and very bitter liquid cutting through my mouth and esophagus and melting into my stomach. I put the coffee cup down, wiped my mouth and said, "I'll get the appropriate education, uncle you can start training me to be what you want me to be."

My uncle was stunned, he hadn't expected me to say that, but he nodded his head in acknowledgement.

"I'll go abroad, it doesn't matter where I go. Just leave it to me from now on, and if necessary, I'll marry Lin Yiran. None of this is a problem, I can do it all."

I looked at my uncle, my heart was beating steadily, I could feel the weight of my words, and I understood the meaning of my words, rather than saying that I was talking about the future, I was trying to get my uncle to agree with me as much as possible. I knew that even if I had the determination, I could not get my sister without going through my uncle.

But for my sister, I am able to give everything. What I resisted before, what I was unwilling to accept before, what I ran away from before. Now, it doesn't matter.

"Well, so? You've said all that, and it's all just what I wanted you to do before, what do you want now?" My uncle narrowed his eyes and looked at me, a little suspicious. It's only human, after all, people are more skeptical than celebratory when great benefits are placed in front of them.

"I hope that my sister will let me take care of her from now on."

I looked at my uncle and said word for word.

My uncle spread his hands and then leaned back, an impish smile on his lips. But he didn't say anything, but motioned for me to continue. I said, "I know I don't have any expertise on how to take care of a blind person, but I'm my sister's brother, and I have to take care of her when she becomes like this, and only by myself. No one else's hand is needed or allowed to pass through, and I will continue to take care of my sister. As for my future, uncle, it doesn't matter what you want me to do, as long as I am allowed to take care of my sister. This is my condition, all I can give my sister is the future, if uncle you don't agree, I'll have to, give my eyes to my sister."

By death, that's the last card I have to play. I looked at my uncle, but my uncle didn't look at me, but whispered, "Putting my own life on the line for my sister?"

"At all costs."

I replied steadily.

My uncle looked at the ceiling and stretched out his fingers, counting them one by one, "First, after that, you have to follow the path that Lin Yiran walked again, you have to become someone who can stand on his own, you don't have much time, you have to put in enough effort. And whatever I want you to do in the future, you have to execute. Second, Lin Yiran is someone who is bound to be needed, although you escaped before, but you beg Lin Yiran may still have hope. Third, Rhyme I can't give you now."

Uncle sat up straight again and said, "You'll have to go out there alone later, you can't take Rhyme with you. If you can do the first two points, how about when you can hold up, Rhyme will be given to you? That's our current terms, and there's no more bargaining to be done."

I looked at my uncle, nodded my head and said, "Deal."

My uncle slapped the table, stood up, and said, "Yes, yes, you can, boy, I'll take you."

He walked up to me, patted my shoulder heavily, then looked outside, and inside his eyes, there was sadness as well as nostalgia, and said, "I brought you to the wrong place, had I known you had this kind of awareness, I shouldn't have let you come for coffee, I should have bought you a drink. If I had known that you had this kind of awareness, I should not have asked you to come for coffee. If I had been able to have this kind of awareness the day my sister went out, maybe she would not have left. If I had been able to make the kind of decisions you did before my sister got married, I might not be so miserable now."

Uncle picked up his jacket and strode out, saying without looking back, "I'll send you Lin Yiran's new cell phone number, remember what you said, and more importantly, never forget what you promised me, and yourself, and the promise you made to Yun Yun. From now on, Rhyme will be in your hands."
