Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White Lotus

Ch49 - Twice

Xie Mu’s hand fell on the coffin that still had dirt on it,

It was damp and carried the smell of the Earth. 

Xie Shi stood aside to look at him.

The man that he had always called Uncle, his hands were always beautiful.

Ten slender fingers that were fair, perhaps it was because he lacked blood all year round, they were slightly pale but the round fingernails had a pink tint to it.

But in bed, Xie Shi loved to hold those beautiful and seemingly weak hands, he would kiss them lightly watching how Xie Mu would squirm in confusion and force himself to stay awake, struggling to keep his beautiful eyes open. 

And now, that hand fell on top of Xie NanEn’s coffin.

It was funny, how there was nothing in the coffin.

Xie Shi stood by Xie Mu’s side looking at the man’s pale face, who was staring at the scene before him with a blank expression. Seeing how the man was speechless, lit a desire deep down his heart, like a giant beast that was hidden in the abyss eagerly ready to jump out.

The cold fingertips tracing the lines of the coffin underneath his hand. Xie Mu looked at it and traced over it again and again.

“Uncle you don’t need to stare at it, this was the same coffin that was used to bury my father.”

Xie Shi grabbed his hand, the man’s expression was still blank and he no longer struggled, so he let Xie Shi do whatever he wanted with himself.

“I know…”

After a while, he seemed to squeeze this sentence out of his throat. 

His gentle and elegant voice turned so hoarse it was nearly unrecognizable, it was full of bitterness and almost audible. If it wasn’t for Xie Shi being right next to Xie Mu’s side, he wouldn’t have heard what he was saying.

“At the beginning…”

Xie Mu was staring at the coffin in from of him, in a daze, “I watched my brother being placed into it with my own eyes, his eyes were closed, and was wearing dark gold clothes. I saw it with his own eyes…”

He closed his eyes in pain, his long eyelashes were trembling and he didn’t open his eyes for a while, instead, he asked in a sober voice, “Xie Shi, what exactly are you playing at?” 

The edges of the young man’s lips curved slightly, his voice was as clear as ever, “What is Uncle talking about? My skills aren’t that good.”

“Then what are you trying to say!!”

“Were you going to tell me that brother never died and he just lied to me?”

“That’s impossible!!!”

Both of the man’s hands were tightly gripping onto the coffin in front of him. The pair of eyes that had always pretended to be calm had tears dripping out of them, “Brother is already dead!”
