The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 169: Bai Zixuan Caught Her Crying in the Rain

The heavy rain turned into a light rain, and the drizzle continued to fall on the streets of the imperial city. The rain seemed to be the tears of God for Lin Ruoxue, carrying endless sorrow. Every drop of rain was like a small dagger, gently piercing Lin Ruoxue's heart.

Lin Ruoxue walked slowly in the rain, her steps were heavy and confused. The rain soaked her clothes, and her hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look particularly embarrassed. But she didn't seem to care, and there was only the unspeakable pain in her heart. The pain was like a heavy shackle, tightly binding her and making her unable to break free.

She recalled every little bit of her time with Nangong Yi. The sweetness of the past was now like poison, corroding her heart. They strolled in the garden together, holding hands, feeling each other's warmth; they made wishes together under the moonlight, looking forward to a better future. But now, all of this has become a bubble. Her tears burst out again, mixed with the rain, and flowed on her pale face. Those tears were the pain in her heart and her reluctance to let go of the past.

At this time, Bai Zixuan was wandering nearby because of his concern for Lin Ruoxue. His heart was full of worry and anxiety. He didn't know how Lin Ruoxue was doing now. He only knew that he couldn't let her suffer such pain alone. He saw the figure walking alone in the rain from a distance, and his heart tightened. The figure was so lonely and helpless that his heart was instantly pulled up.

Bai Zixuan walked closer quickly. When he saw Lin Ruoxue's face full of tears, his heart seemed to be tugged by an invisible hand. The tears were like a sharp blade, piercing his eyes and his heart.

"Ruoxue..." Bai Zixuan called her name softly, his voice full of heartache. The heartache was so deep that it seemed as if he could feel every bit of pain in Lin Ruoxue's heart.

Lin Ruoxue heard the voice and raised her head slightly. The moment she saw Bai Zixuan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was soon covered by sadness. She didn't expect Bai Zixuan to be here. She thought she was the only one in the world who was suffering.

"Why are you here?" Lin Ruoxue's voice was hoarse and weak. Her voice was full of fatigue and despair, as if she had lost all her strength.

Bai Zixuan looked at her with concern in his eyes. "I'm worried about you. Seeing you like this, my heart aches." His voice was full of sincerity and his eyes were full of tenderness. He wanted Lin Ruoxue to know that he cared about her and he didn't want to see her in so much pain.

Lin Ruoxue gave a bitter smile. "What are you hurting about? How much do you understand about my pain?" Her voice was full of sarcasm. She felt that Bai Zixuan could not understand her pain at all. Her pain was so deep and so unspeakable.

Bai Zixuan said anxiously: "I understand, I understand everything. Ruoxue, it's Nangong Yi's fault that he doesn't know how to cherish you. But you can't keep torturing yourself like this." His voice was full of anxiety. He wanted Lin Ruoxue to understand that she couldn't punish herself because of Nangong Yi's mistakes. She deserved better, she deserved to be cherished.

Lin Ruoxue shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "You don't understand. I loved him. I thought we would have a future..." Her voice was filled with despair. She felt that her future was hopeless. Her love was shattered, and her world had collapsed.

Bai Zixuan clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with jealousy and resentment. He was jealous of Nangong Yi, and he was resentful that Lin Ruoxue suffered so much for Nangong Yi. "Ruoxue, look at me, I can also give you a future. I will cherish you more than he does." His voice was full of determination, he wanted Lin Ruoxue to know that he would always protect her and give her happiness.

Lin Ruoxue just shed tears silently and stopped talking. Her heart was filled with pain and confusion. She didn't know what to do. She felt that she had lost everything and she didn't know if she still had a future.

The rain was still falling, hitting them, as if telling this sad story. The raindrops fell gently, like the tears in Lin Ruoxue's heart, flowing endlessly. Bai Zixuan stood beside Lin Ruoxue, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must let her walk out of this haze and find happiness again. He would use his love, his care, and his company to let Lin Ruoxue feel the beauty of life again. He would let her know that there are still people in this world who care about her and love her. He would let her know that she is not alone, she still has him.
