Heroic Death System

 ◊  ◊

Ever since the day Jian Chenfeng had left Jiang Yumo"s apartment, he felt that there was something wrong with his body. He always unconsciously paid attention to Jiang Yumo, and since the initial unpleasant impression, he now found Jiang Yumo pleasant, no matter how he looked at him. As for the injuries on Jiang Yumo"s body, although he did not manage to get the answer out of the other, he had someone investigate it and found out that Jiang Yumo had actually become a member of the extreme sports club. Every weekend, he would go and partic.i.p.ate in the exercises.

Jian Chenfeng had long since heard that he liked to play, but he didn"t expect that it was this kind of playing. Furthermore, so long as the event was set up by the club, Jiang Yumo had pretty much signed up for all of them. It was no wonder that his body was full of injuries, since every kind of sport had a degree of danger. If someone had great courage and loved to take risks, but was not experienced enough, then getting injured was a to be expected.

Jian Chenfeng was very angry, but he didn"t know where his anger was coming from. He only felt that this guy was going to far with his playing, and was completely disregarding his safety. Liking sports was a good thing, but purposefully looking for thrills was another.

He had just received the news that Jiang Yumo was currently at the beach on a jet ski, and Jian Chenfeng decided to personally go and take a look.

On the beach, the sun was shining brightly and there was a gentle sea breeze. There were men and women in swimsuits everywhere. Jian Chenfeng, pacing in his shirt, pants, and leather shoes, was especially eye catching.

Jian Chenfeng frowned. He disliked this kind of noisy environment, where the noise would cause a person"s attention to become lax, decreasing their alertness and increasing their adrenaline.

"Where is he?" Jian Chenfeng coldly looked at Secretary Cui next to him and asked.

"He should be at…" He didn"t get the chance to finish his sentence when a burst of excited screams interrupted him.

Jian Chenfeng looked in the direction of the screams, only to see a group of women and men standing next to the sea, screaming and shouting at a place a bit further in.

Jian Chenfeng raised his binoculars to take a look. There were a few people using jet skis and kayaks. He looked at each person until he found the one he was looking for.

Jiang Yumo was standing on a jet ski, his upper body slightly tilted like a swordfish as he braved the billowing wind. He did a maneuver and leaped, setting off a great white spray of ocean water. At this moment, the jet ski suddenly soared into the sky, causing Jiang Yumo"s body to hang in the air like he was flying. Between the ocean and sky, his gorgeous body shone.

"Ahhh!" Countless screams erupted.

Jian Chenfeng"s heart tightened, his burning gaze locked firmly onto that soaring figure, almost forgetting to breathe.

A dozen minutes later, Shang Ke had finished playing to his heart"s content and returned to the beach, giving his cheering companions a brilliant smile. Drops of water fell from his hair, and were just as dazzling under the sun as his smile.

Jian Chenfeng suddenly felt his mouth go dry, and something called "desire" violently surge up and pull him into a taboo abyss…

After Shang Ke wiped his hair, he walked up the beach. His original intention to partic.i.p.ate in extreme sports was to court death, but after genuinely experiencing them for himself, he found pleasure in them. He was not afraid of death and had the courage to try, so his skills in every sport quickly grew. Although he could not be compared to experts, it was possible for him to do simple performances.

However, he didn"t know if it was that his talent was too high or his body"s basic data was different, but even though he gained a lot of small injuries while playing different types of extreme sports, he was not even once seriously injured.

"Jiang Yumo." When he was daydreaming, Shang Ke suddenly heard a familiar voice.

He pulled the towel off his head, and saw Jian Chenfeng walking toward him.

"Jian Chenfeng, why are you here?" Shang Ke asked in surprise.

"I was pa.s.sing by and saw you playing in the water."

The familiar type of reply made Shang Ke roll his eyes.

"When are you done, we can go eat together?" Jian Chenfeng asked him again.

"I"ll go tell them first, wait for a minute."

Shang Ke took a shower and changed his clothes before taking a ride in Jian Chenfeng"s car to a restaurant.

On the way there, Jian Chenfeng was silent and fully concentrated on the road ahead, as if he was thinking about something really serious.

After Secretary Cui drove the three of them to the restaurant, he excused himself by saying that he had other matters to attend to, and left first.

Jian Chenfeng and Shang Ke seated themselves in a window seat, before ordering and beginning to make idle chat.

Shang Ke had no choice but to admit that Jian Chenfeng was a very attractive man. Every one of his actions were pleasing to the eyes. The two of them could be considered friends now, and their usual interactions could be considered pleasant.

The reason why Jian Chenfeng had changed his att.i.tude towards Shang Ke was because of his cooking skills, while the reason why Shang Ke had changed his att.i.tude towards him was because he had found a mole on the other"s palm not too long ago. It was the same as Ravel"s.

Shang Ke was suspicious that Jian Chenfeng was Ravel, and it was just that he would have different personalities and memories in different worlds. After he finished his missions in this world, he was going to ask the System to clear it up.

"Sorry, I"ll go to the bathroom first." Shang Ke wiped his mouth and got up, leaving the dining table.

Jian Chenfeng watched his leaving figure, an elusive light flashing through his eyes..

When Shang Ke finished his personal business and left the bathroom, he caught sight of a familiar figure. The other turned her body and saw him, her expression turning into one of shock. "Jiang Yumo, you…"

"Jian Xin, what a coincidence to see you here," Shang Ke said as he gave her a wide smile.

Jian Xin took a step back, asking in a trembling voice, "You stalked me?"

Shang Ke was left speechless. He did not know why she suddenly thought that he was stalking her.

Jian Xin continued, "Jiang Yumo, I have long since told you that I don"t like you. You hang around at my older brother"s company, send me flowers everyday, and now you even stalk me?"

Shang Ke"s face fell. Should he try his best to explain to her, or remain silent and show a hurt expression?

"Jiang Yumo, stop interfering with my life!" The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, "Did you know that every time you appear, I feel unwell?"

Shang Ke secretly inspected himself. Did he do something that could have angered her this much?

"Let me go, I can"t take it." Jian Xin held her chest, her breathing becoming rougher and her complexion turning very ugly.

"Jian Xin, are you okay?" Shang Ke hurriedly tried to help her.

Jian Xin did not appreciate his kindness and pushed him away. She staggered and almost fell, but Shang Ke once again helped her and asked, "Where"s your medicine? Did you bring it?"

"No, I don"t need you to care! Go away, immediately scram from my sight!" Jian Xin"s expression was so pained that even her harsh tone was becoming weaker.

Shang Ke was just about to find someone to help when he heard a shout of rage from behind him, "Jiang Yumo, what are you doing?"

Shang Ke didn"t even have time to turn around when his arm was grabbed pulled, the back of his head heavily knocking against the wall.

The person who pulled him wasn"t Jian Chenfeng, but his own older brother, Jiang Donglin.

It was no wonder that Jian Xin wanted him to leave so badly. She was probably worried that he would destroy her date with Jiang Donglin.

Shang Ke fuzzily thought that as held the back of his head.

At this moment, an arm held his waist, and he was asked, "Are you okay?"

Shang Ke raised his head to look at the man by his side, his eyes a bit misty.

"Jian Chenfeng? Don"t worry about me, go check on Jian Xin."

"She"s fine." Jian Chenfeng looked towards the two. Jian Xin was currently leaning against Jiang Donglin"s chest, tears in the corner of her eyes. Her condition was already steady.

Jiang Donglin helped Jian Xin up and said to Shang Ke, "Jiang Yumo, you know that Jian Xin"s body isn"t good, so why did you still upset her?"

"I…" I your mom, how did I upset her? She was the one being paranoid, okay? Shang Ke remained silent. He didn"t need to pretend this time, his eyes were truly full of sadness.

"Donglin, before things have been cleared, don"t jump to conclusions." Compared to Jiang Donglin, as the older brother of Jian Xin, Jian Chenfeng was the calm one. He believed in the Jiang Yumo he knew that he was not that kind of frivolous and impulsive man.

He looked at Jian Xin and asked, "Xin"er, what happened just now?"

Jian Xin"s face was pale as she looked between her brother and Shang Ke. She guessed that she had probably misunderstood Shang Ke. She lowered her head, biting her lips and remaining silent.

A trace of distress flit through Jiang Donglin"s eyes and he turned to say to Shang Ke, "Jiang Yumo, give Miss Jian an apology."

Shang Ke looked deeply at them, then sneered, "Just why should I? I didn"t do anything wrong."

"Jiang Yumo, I will say it again. Give Miss Jian an apology," Jiang Donglin"s tone became more severe.

"No, no need," Jian Xin said beside him.

Shang Ke stared at Jiang Donglin, before speaking very clearly, "In this lifetime, I will never let her obtain my apology."

After he said that, Shang Ke shook off Jian Chenfeng"s hand and walked towards the entrance.

"Jiang Yumo, hold it!" Jiang Donglin was just about to run up and grab Shang Ke, but was stopped by Jian Chenfeng. Just as he was going to speak, they suddenly heard a "bang" sound, followed by Jian Xin"s scream.

Jian Chenfeng and Jiang Donglin turned their heads at the same time, only to find Jiang Yumo lying on the ground, unconscious…

"What happened?" Xu Qing asked as he checked Shang Ke"s condition.

"I don"t know, he suddenly fainted." Jiang Donglin was also confused.

"Did anything happen before he fainted?" Xu Qing continued to ask, "For example, dizziness, stiffness in the limbs, or a collision?"

"Collision?" Jiang Donglin stared blankly before replying, "I remember that I pulled him, and then he had knocked against the wall."

Xu Qing"s gaze turned sharp. "Which part was. .h.i.t?"

"This…" Jiang Donglin pursed his brows. He had only been paying attention to Jian Xin and did not notice.

"The back of his head," Jian Chenfeng answered for him.

Xu Qing fixed his gaze on him, asking, "You"re sure?"

Jian Chenfeng nodded. His eyes dimmed, and he started to feel that something was wrong.

Xu Qing softly cursed, "d.a.m.n it," before immediately having a nurse send Jiang Yumo to the brain specialist. He was a surgeon, so he wasn"t in charge of this.

"Xu Qing, what"s wrong with Yumo?" Jiang Donglin look at him, confused, and asking, "Why do you look so anxious?" He was certain that Yumo wasn"t hit too heavily, so no matter how serious it was, it could only be a concussion, right?

Xu Qing pushed up his gla.s.ses and regained his calm. He spoke coldly and indifferently, "I am not anxious. If you, his older brother, isn"t anxious, then why should I be anxious?"

"You"re implying something?" Jiang Donglin looked at him.

Xu Qing"s lips rose into a cold smile as he said, "It looks like that kid didn"t tell you guys his condition after all."

"What condition?"

Xu Qing turned to look at Jiang Donglin, his tone very calm as he told them the news, "He is suffering from a brain tumor."

Jiang Donglin and Jian Chenfeng"s faces both changed at the same time.

Xu Qing felt that it was not stimulating enough, and added, "You two best pray that a serious problem doesn"t emerge from his head being hit. Otherwise, even the world’s top brain specialist won"t be able to save him."

 ◊  ◊

Shang Ke didn"t expect that he wouldn"t have any issues even after playing so many extreme sports, but that a simple push from Jiang Donglin would cause his head to hit the wall. At least he did not remain unconscious for too long, and he realized his situation in the first few moments after waking up. His condition"s original two years of steadiness had changed, and if he doesn"t undergo surgery, his condition will quickly worsen.

Shang Ke was sent to a single person sickroom. Because Jiang Donglin, Jian Chenfeng, and Xu Qing were all around, he decided to continue his beauty sleep.

Jiang Donglin held his phone and sat at Jiang Yumo"s bedside in a daze, unsure of what to say.

Jian Chenfeng looked at Jiang Yumo, laying on the bed. The current him had lost some of his usual energy, and he was a bit quieter. Half of his head was sunk into the soft pillow and a few strands of hair were covering his eyes, so he looked like he was sleeping very peacefully.

"Doctor Xu, you said that Jiang Yumo had known of his condition a couple months ago?" Jian Chenfeng suddenly asked.

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded.

Jian Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, his expression gloomy.

Jiang Donglin suddenly raised his head and asked, "Since you knew, why didn"t you inform us?" If he knew, how could he have hurt Yumo?

Xu Qing gestured with his mouth towards the hospital bed. "Because your younger brother had me help him keep it a secret."

"What?" Jiang Donglin turned his head to look at Shang Ke, a perplexed expression pa.s.sing through his eyes as he muttered, "Such a large matter, why did he hide it?"

"That, I don"t know." Xu Qing turned around and walked out, telling them, "You guys better arrange an operation for him as soon as possible. The longer this drags out, the more dangerous it will be."

"Wait, I still have some more questions to ask," Jiang Donglin said as he followed Xu Qing out of the room.

Now, the only ones remaining in the room were Jian Chenfeng and Shang Ke, who was doing his best to sleep.

Jian Chenfeng walked to his side and reached out to brush aside Shang Ke"s hair. At this moment, Shang Ke"s eyelashes slightly trembled, and slowly, his eyes opened. He gave Jian Chenfeng a lazy smile. In that split second, Jian Chenfeng felt like the world before him had brightened, and his gloomy mood had vanished like smoke.

"Jian Chenfeng, is Jian Xin alright?" was the first thing Shang Ke asked.

Jian Chenfeng"s face dimmed and he spoke, rather annoyed, "She"s fine. You should worry about yourself first."

"What"s wrong with me?" Shang Ke sat up and rubbed the back of his head.

"Jiang Yumo, can you tell me why, even after knowing that you have a brain tumor, you still continued to partic.i.p.ate in those dangerous extreme sports?" Jian Chenfeng stared fixedly at him, his voice carrying a greatly repressed anger.

Shang Ke said in a rational tone, "I cannot give up what I like just because I am ill."

"Then, why did you have to hide your condition?"

"Because if my family knew, then they would not allow me to continue partic.i.p.ating in sports." Shang Ke gave him a "did you need to ask" expression.

"Very good," Jian Chenfeng gritted his teeth and spit out. "It looks like you understand it quite well. From today on, you indeed cannot partic.i.p.ate in any intense sports."

"So bad (English)!" Shang Ke revealed a reluctant expression.

Jian Chenfeng remained unmoved as he stayed silent for a long time, before suddenly asked, "Jiang Yumo, are you thinking of dying?"

He asked the question very seriously, without any hint of a joke. After Jiang Yumo found out his situation, not only did he not tell his family, but he also did not accept treatment. Instead, as if he didn"t want to live, he started to partic.i.p.ate in every kind of dangerous extreme sport. Wasn"t he clearly courting death?

Jian Chenfeng had confidence in his observation skills, but even after interacting with Jiang Yumo for so long, he completely did not notice any pessimistic signs from him. Jiang Yumo"s life was free of worry and full of love. If he was being bullied, he had his family to protect him. With such a good life, what could make him depressed?

"I am living so well. Why would I think of dying?" Shang Ke unconcernedly answered. "You"re overthinking things."

"Is that so?" Jian Chenfeng expressionlessly said, "Then, for this period of time, you should obediently stay here until the specialist develops an appropriate operation plan for you."

"My parents haven"t even said anything yet!" Shang Ke glared at him.

"Chenfeng"s desire is our desire." Jiang Yumo"s parents and Jiang Donglin walked into the room together. Father Jian strictly said, "You are certainly ready to spread your wings, even daring to hide this kind of matter!"

Mother Jiang pulled Shang Ke"s hand and asked concernedly, "Yumo, how are you? Is there anywhere you don"t feel well…"

When Jian Chenfeng saw that Jiang Yumo"s family had all arrived, he timely said his goodbye. Before he left, he glanced again at Shang Ke comforting his parents, his gaze dimming. So long as he thought about how this man would one day disappear, he would feel like he couldn"t breathe. He had never felt this kind of fear before. He knew that he was done for. He couldn"t lie to himself anymore that the intense throb in his heart was just a misconception…

Two days later, Shang Ke was welcomed into Jian Chenfeng"s home.

That"s right, Jian Chenfeng"s home. He didn"t know just how Jian Chenfeng had persuade his parents to overturn all responsibility for his care completely to him. Shang Ke had not even been given the chance to oppose before he was packaged and wrapped by his parents and sent over.

"From today on, you will go to work with me in the morning, and then in the evening, you will sleep with me (in different rooms?). If you want to exercise, you will have to obtain my permission," Jian Chenfeng set down all the rules before him.

"Jian Chenfeng, just what did you say to my parents? How could they agree to let me live in your house?" Shang Ke still felt that it was too unimaginable.

Jian Chenfeng shot him a glance, saying, "I just told them that my younger sister could help you turn over a new leaf."

You actually used your own younger sister? Plus, what "help you turn over a new leaf"? Just where was he evil?

However, it was fine. His purpose in worsening his condition had already been reached, and as long as the operation isn"t successful, then he can dedicate himself to sacrificing his life. What was difficult now was figuring out how to delay his operation. According to the storyline, Jian Xin"s operation would be in a year. However, before she could have it, she had been dragged along by Jiang Yumo to "die together in the name of love." Shang Ke wasn"t quite sure if the heart transplant would have gone well if the operation happened earlier.

"If I can see Jian Xin often, then I will reluctantly live here." Shang Ke held a long pillow and laid on the sofa.

When he heard the other mention Jian Xin, Jian Chenfeng immediately felt unwell.

"Jiang Yumo, the one Xin"er likes is your older brother." He had to quickly make this guy see reality.

"That"s fine," Shang Ke confidently said. "I will let Jian Xin know that I love her more than older brother."

"Jiang Yumo, just which part of my younger sister do you find attractive?" Jian Chenfeng"s tone was very dark.

Can you not ask such a brain-frying question? How should he know which part of Jian Xin attracts Jiang Yumo?

Shang Ke racked his brain over the question before finally thinking of an answer, "It"s just a kind of feeling, you wouldn"t understand it."

"……" Jian Chenfeng really had an urge to throttle him. What "you wouldn"t understand it?" Does Jiang Yumo know just how f.u.c.king much he does understand it?

Jian Chenfeng didn"t feel like talking to him anymore for the time being. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be able to hold back his urge to just do him in.

Following that, Shang Ke started to live leisurely. At work, he could take it easy and hang around. After work, he could research good food, when he was free, he could play an instrument, take a walk… As long as he ignored the man that was inseparable from him like his conjoined twin, his life was still quite wonderful.

As the operation day gradually came closer, he started to think about the next step of his plan.

However, before he had even planned anything, problems began to emerge with Jian Xin"s condition. Because Jiang Donglin thought that he was not as worthy as his brother, he continued to keep his distance from Jian Xin and did not establish a relationship with her. With Jian Xin so anxious, her disease had many onsets and her condition became increasingly worse.

After seeing such a scene, Jiang Donglin finally overcame the obstructions in his heart and sincerely accepted Jian Xin. He accompanied her in the hospital everyday and treated her with the utmost care, but even so, her situation was still not optimistic.

"When should we have the operation?" Jian Chenfeng asked Jian Xin"s doctor.

The doctor replied, "Miss Jian"s disease is onsetting more and more frequently. If we could, it would be best to do so within half a year."

"Have you found a suitable heart?"

"I was just about to tell you that." The doctor flipped through his information and told him, "Not too long ago, a young man came to do a matching. After the matching was successful, he signed an organ donor agreement, donating his heart to Miss Jian."

"That person came to do a matching himself? Did he get some kind of incurable disease?"

"He said that he was suffering from a brain tumor, and had at most two years to live. At that time, I thought he was the best choice for a donor. Two years later would be approximately the time that Miss Jian was going to have her operation. We just didn"t expect Miss Jian"s condition to worsen, so the operation will need to be done earlier." The doctor did not notice Jian Chenfeng"s expression changing as he continued, "I will go contact that person later and see how his condition is. If his condition isn"t showing any sign of worsening, then we can only find another donor."

"He had a brain tumor?" Jian Chenfeng forcefully pressed down his churning emotions as he said, "Give me his information."

"Alright." The doctor handed him the information. Because this hospital was the Jian Family"s, Jian Chenfeng could look up any patient"s information, at any time.

When Jian Chenfeng received the information, he was shocked. The first thing he saw was the name column, with three characters reading "Jiang Yumo."

In the next second, he threw down the information and headed for his house like a mad man.

The door was slammed open with a bang, and Jian Chenfeng was greeted by the sight of Jiang Yumo doing a handstand! Doing a handstand during this period of time!

Jian Chenfeng"s appearance clearly frightened Jiang Yumo, and his body tilted, almost falling. Jian Chenfeng quickly rushed over and held him up, picking him up horizontally and placing him on the sofa.

Jian Chenfeng sat by the small side table, his expression dark as he stared at the other man.

Shang Ke felt that Jian Chenfeng"s mood was a bit off, and asked, "Did something happen over on Jian Xin"s side? I heard from older brother that her condition worsened, is it urgent? When is she having her operation?"

"Jian Xin, Jian Xin. Jiang Yumo, do you not have any other people in your heart besides Jian Xin?" Jian Chenfeng dully roared.

Shang Ke looked at him in confusion. Why was he so angry?

Jian Chenfeng looked at his feigned tranquil expression and became angrier. "Jiang Yumo, for Jian Xin, you don"t even want your life anymore?" He knew that Jiang Yumo liked Jian Xin, but he never thought that his love ran so deeply.

"What did you say?"

"Why did you sign the organ donor agreement?" Jian Chenfeng intensely questioned him.

Shang Ke was first stunned, but immediately smiled as he replied, "I am suffering from a brain tumor, so no matter how high the success rate of the operation is, there is still risk involved. If something happens to me during the operation, then at least I can give Jian Xin a chance to recover and live."

"Don"t take me as a fool!" Jian Chenfeng was unable to restrain his anger anymore as he said, "When you found out about your brain tumor, your situation wasn"t serious, and you could have immediately underwent the operation. However, not only did you hide your condition, but you also delayed your operation, and even deliberately placed yourself in danger. Jiang Yumo, you f.u.c.ker, you planned to use your life in exchange for Jian Xin"s all along!"

Jian Chenfeng did not know what he had felt when he saw the organ donor agreement. There was not only anger, but he also felt an intense jealousy! He was jealous of his younger sister, since she could so easily obtain the love he wanted, but couldn"t get.

Shang Ke was bit frightened by the other man"s appearance. He did not know why Jian Chenfeng was so angry. According to reason, even if he knew that he was using his life in exchange for his younger sister"s life, Jian Chenfeng should either express shock, or be moved by his "selflessness." This kind of craziness was truly beyond his expectations.

"Jiang Yumo, my sister"s life doesn"t need yours in exchange!" Jian Chenfeng stared at him, speaking emphatically, "Because, your life is mine!"

He did not wait for Shang Ke to react after he spoke before overwhelming the other. Pressing the body below him into the sofa, Jian Chenfeng held the back of his head and deeply kissed him.

Shang Ke"s eyes widened as he thought, this development is a bit wrong!
