“No, No… He promised me. He promised me!” Ye Yuwei screamed and ran away from the tent.
Gu Juexi couldn’t be dead. How could he be dead?
Ye Yuwei followed the soldiers who were in charge of cleaning up the debris of where the Bai family’s fortress had been. The fortress that had been so grand just a few hours ago was now a complete ruin.
Ye Yuwei had no idea how many had died because of this war and all she wanted to know was whether Gu Juexi was alright.
Song Helian, Lu Qichuan, and the others were badly injured too, but they refused to leave. Song Helian was throwing a tantrum and cursing at everyone while Lu Qichuan and Yu Jiangqing searched the bodies for Gu Juexi like madmen.
Ye Yuwei stood there and looked at the bodies, her heart ice cold.
It couldn’t be…
Gu Juexi had promised her.
[Bear this in mind, Weiwei. My life depends on you now. It depends on you whether we end up fighting or grieving.]
Liar. Didn’t he say that his life depended on her?
[I owe you a wedding ceremony, Weiwei. I won’t let anything happen to me.]
Liar! He hadn’t given her the wedding ceremony that he owed her. How could he let anything happen to himself?
[I will always owe you this, Weiwei. I…]
Tell me you will always owe me, Gu Juexi. Tell me now!
It was as if she could still her Gu Juexi; what he said kept echoing in her head, again and again.
Ye Yuwei fell to the ground in desperation.
A shadow nearby was quietly watching the camp. It was going to come to the light, but fled suddenly as if it had seen something terrifying.
“Boss, Boss…”
It was Yu Jiangqing’s voice.
Ye Yuwei looked up and quickly limped over to where Yu Jiangqing was and pushed Lu Qichuan aside.
“Gu Juexi, Gu Juexi…” Ye Yuwei called out softly. She couldn’t be bothered by the gravel, and didn’t care if it was cutting her skin.
Lu Qichuan struggled to keep his balance with his wounded leg, and blood from the wound on his arm dripped onto the rocks.
He opened his mouth and looked at Ye Yuwei who was hugging Gu Juexi, then decided not to say anything.
“Gu Juexi, wake up, Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei wiped Gu Juexi’s face that was covered in dirt and blood, and continued to mumble, “you haven’t done what you promised me to do, Gu Juexi. Don’t you dare lie to me again, Gu Juexi…”
“Get a stretcher,” said Yu Jiangqing who was kneeling on the ground, getting up after a long struggle. He had been shot in the shoulder and his uniform was drenched in blood.
“Stretcher,” Yu Jiangqing repeated, while continuing to remove the rocks on Gu Juexi to make it easier for the medics to carry him.
Gu Juexi never responded to them. If it weren’t his shallow breathing, Ye Yuwei might have already fallen apart by now.
The medics showed up fairly quickly with stretchers and carried Gu Juexi to the tent.
Yu Jiangqing looked at Ye Yuwei who had followed the medics and then looked at Lu Qichuan. “Have you given up this time? She has only ever had Boss in her eyes.”
Lu Qichuan smiled bitterly. He had already given her up anyway, hadn’t he?
Ye Yuwei followed the medics into the ambulance where the army doctor performed CPR.
Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s right hand tightly and stared at Gu Juexi without blinking her eyes, as if he would disappear if she blinked.
