Chapter 384: Wan Wan, Don’t Be Afraid
The brilliant flowing lights streaked across the dark sky like streamers in the G.o.ddess of moon, Chang’er’s hands, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.
The falling meteors were extremely fast, flas.h.i.+ng with dazzling sparks. Some were red and yellow like flames, while others were s.h.i.+ning with awe-inspiring silver light like swords…
It was such a magnificent scene, but Su Wan was no longer in the mood to watch it!
More and more meteors appeared in front of her eyes, illuminating the man’s face.
His excessively handsome face was devoid of any color. His eyes were tightly shut, giving off an indescribable sense of oppression.
Su Wan reached out her hand and grabbed the hand of Jiang Xuecheng. She instantly felt an inexplicable chill.
Jiang Xuecheng’s hands were so cold…
“Xuecheng, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Su Wan’s heart tightened. She nervously grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s arm, but Jiang Xuecheng remained motionless. Only his tightly knitted eyebrows were silently telling her of his pain.
Could it be that the wind at night was too cold, and Jiang Xuecheng’s body could not withstand it and he caught a cold?
Although the air here was a little damp, the temperature was actually not bad. Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng’s physique had always been stronger than hers. How could it be like this?
No matter how uncomfortable it was, it would not be to the extent of not being able to speak, would it?
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stood on the peak of the island together. More and more meteors gathered in the sky, dazzling like a firework rain.
A strong wave came cras.h.i.+ng from down the cliff. Su Wan heard the sound of the waves. .h.i.tting the rocks. That m.u.f.fled sound seemed to hit her heart.
Su Wan felt as if her heart had suddenly stopped. She shook Jiang Xuecheng’s arm. Her eyes were full of nervousness and anxiety.
“Xuecheng, I’m easily scared. Don’t scare me.”
She called his name again and again.
Jiang Xuecheng’s sword-like brows furrowed even deeper. A crease appeared between his brows. He opened his eyes in a trance, and a beautiful face faintly swayed in front of his eyes. He could not see clearly.
Just as Jiang Xuecheng was trying to see clearly, the shooting stars in the sky shone brightly, and Jiang Xuecheng was unable to open his eyes.
Sure enough, he had not completely recovered…
However, compared to his illness during his childhood, he had recovered a lot. At least he could hold on until now…
The sharp pain in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart rose again. He hurriedly closed his eyes and did not dare to look again.
Su Wan was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Xuecheng open his eyes. She was about to say something, but he quickly closed his eyes again.
His handsome and indifferent face was still pale, and he looked even worse.
Jiang Xuecheng took a deep breath and tried to keep his mind clear.
A warmth came from his cold palm. He knew that it was Su Wan who held his hand.
“Wan Wan, take me back to… the car.”
It was only a few words, but it was extremely difficult for Jiang Xuecheng to speak. His throat seemed to have been hurt, and his low and hoa.r.s.e voice was filled with unspeakable pain.
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips tightly. His eyes were tightly shut, and his hands could not help but tremble slightly.
Su Wan was frightened by the way Jiang Xuecheng spoke. She did not know what had happened to him, so she could only suppress the doubt and anxiety in her heart and help him to the car.
Jiang Xuecheng was definitely not heavy, but at the moment, he seemed to have no strength at all. He could only cling to Su Wan.
For the pet.i.te Su Wan, she could not bear his weight.
Su Wan dragged Jiang Xuecheng forward with difficulty. Fortunately, the car was not parked too far away. She pressed the key to open the car door and dragged Jiang Xuecheng to the backseat as fast as she could.
After getting into the car, Jiang Xuecheng collapsed onto the leather seat. His lips kept trembling, and his hands were getting colder and colder.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng in this state, Su Wan was scared out of her wits. What was wrong?
Su Wan quickly took the velvet blanket and wrapped it tightly around Jiang Xuecheng. Then, she stretched out her arms to hug him, trying to give Jiang Xuecheng some warmth.
Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng in her arms. Her clear eyes were full of fear. At this moment, she really did not know what to do.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
She had clearly wished to be with this man forever. How did Jiang Xuecheng become like this in the blink of an eye…?
“Xuecheng, what’s happening? Which part is uncomfortable?”
Su Wan thought that Jiang Xuecheng had some hidden cause of illness which suddenly flared up.
As long as the cause of the illness could be found and the right medicine was given, Jiang Xuecheng should be fine, shouldn’t he?
It was almost 3 am now. The shooting stars in the sky were rustling, cutting through the dark sky. It was so beautiful that it was like a dream.
Jiang Xuecheng could feel the dazzling light even with his eyes closed. He felt extremely uncomfortable. All his strength seemed to have been sucked out by someone, and he could not exert any strength at all.
Su Wan’s whimper became more and more indistinct in his ears. Jiang Xuecheng’s eyelids were extremely heavy. This time, it was not he who wanted to close his eyes, but it was difficult for him to hold on any longer.
The moment his consciousness was about to fade away, Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyelids with great effort. In an instant, a face that was extremely blur appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Xuecheng’s forehead was pressed against Su Wan’s. The slightly salty tears flowed down Su Wan’s cheeks to the corner of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips.
The tears seeped into his mouth and were so salty that they tasted bitter.
Was she crying?
Jiang Xuecheng wanted to wipe away the tears on Su Wan’s face. He did not like Su Wan’s looks when she cried. She looked better when she smiled.
Jiang Xuecheng tried to gather his strength, but he did not even have the strength to raise his hand. He bit the tip of his tongue forcefully, and his hoa.r.s.e voice spilled out of his thin lips.
“Wan Wan, don’t be afraid…”
He said that in his daze, but he didn’t know if Su Wan heard it.
Then, boundless darkness came like a huge wave, instantly engulfing Jiang Xuecheng’s consciousness.
No one said anything. The night was extremely quiet in the early morning, and the meteors in the sky gradually dimmed. The sounds of various insects could be heard from the bushes.
A gentle breeze blew through the treetops. The branches and leaves on the cliff swayed like weak sighs.
Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to her, but his voice was too soft for her to hear clearly.
Reading his lips, he seemed to be telling her not to be afraid.
Su Wan hugged Jiang Xuecheng in a daze. She reached out to caress Jiang Xuecheng’s face, but she suddenly discovered something even more horrifying.
Under Jiang Xuecheng’s nose, there seemed to be no breath…
Su Wan’s heart was like a river in the middle of winter, frozen for thousands of miles. It was bone-chilling.
G.o.d!
Su Wan was terrified. She reached out her trembling hand to try again, but there was no breath.
Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have fallen asleep. His face was still as handsome as ever. Under his long eyebrows, his eyes were slightly closed, and his long eyelashes softened his cold facial contour.
He was so good looking, it made one’s heart palpitate.
At this moment, Su Wan’s heart was indeed palpitating.
She was so scared that her face turned pale. She covered Jiang Xuecheng’s hand with one hand. It was so cold that it did not seem like the hand of a living person.
As she hugged Jiang Xuecheng, she suddenly felt the part of Jiang Xuecheng that most resembled a normal person.
His heart was beating.
