Chapter 1261: Scared Me To Death
“Ji Xing.” Song Yiyan had never been so fl.u.s.tered before. Her eyes instantly reddened as she frantically searched for the man. “Ji Xing!”
When the lady boss of the convenience store heard someone shout, she shivered and crawled out from under the table in the store. She looked at her and said, “Are you looking for that handsome man?”
Song Yiyan saw the lady boss and nodded vigorously. “Do you know where he went?”
When the lady boss saw that the danger had been averted, although her expression was ugly, she was angry. “That handsome guy just bought a bottle of water and wanted to take the change. Suddenly, a group of gangsters came and he started fighting. I think he was shot and ran over.”
Song Yiyan did not have the time to thank her, she followed the direction the lady boss pointed at. The side was filled with demolition areas and there were not many people around. There were broken walls on both sides of the road.
She called his name as she ran. It was dark all around, and there were no street lights, let alone anyone.
Not far away, in the darkness, there was an even darker figure, behind a ragged wall on the left.
That person was tall and had a cigarette between his long and fair fingers, he leaned against the wall lazily. The wind blew his hair up, revealing his long and narrow eyes that were clearly mocking her. They looked evil and flirtatious.
His eyes were fixed on the woman who was approaching him from afar. The woman’s fl.u.s.tered and urgent shout made the self-mockery in his eyes become more obvious.
Would she be worried for him too? She should have a taste of how it felt to suddenly disappear in front of people.
Song Yiyan felt that they were very close, she could already feel the man’s breath nearby. Her voice became more anxious. “Ji Xing, are you there? Did you hear that?”
There were no replies. Other than her own echo, there was only the sound of the wind.
“Ji Xing!” Song Yiyan continued to run forward. No, he was nearby. He was clearly nearby, why couldn’t she find him?
Ji Xing looked coldly at the woman who was like a headless fly, spinning on the spot. Tears sparkled in her eyes, and her voice was already hoa.r.s.e from shouting too much.
“Ji Xing, I know you’re here. Can you reply to me?” Song Yiyan was finally on the verge of breaking down.
She suddenly squatted on the ground. A sense of hopelessness swept over her like a tidal wave, quickly drowning her.
She couldn’t find him. But even though she could feel him nearby, she couldn’t see nor locate him.
Ji Xing could clearly see that her body was trembling slightly and she was crying. She would cry for him too?
He told himself not to go out and let her experience what it felt like to be unable to find her, how hopeless and powerless he was then.
However, when he saw the woman squatting on the ground and crying, his heart felt like it was being clenched tightly. It was so painful that he felt suffocated.
Song Yiyan fumbled for her phone. When she heard Ling Sheng’s voice, she sobbed. “Sheng Sheng, Ji Xing is missing. I lost him. Can you help me find him?”
She was on the verge of breaking down. She didn’t even notice anyone approaching and didn’t dare to hang up, she just wanted to locate him.
Ji Xing was standing in front of her. The moon broke through the dark clouds and the bright moonlight shone down on her.
He had never known her to cry, much less cry for him.
So he had never been the only one who was delusional. It was just that she was stubborn and refused to admit it.
“I’m not hanging up. Let me know if you have any news.” Song Yiyan was agitated. Her tears kept falling as she became more fl.u.s.tered.
Suddenly, a shadow blocked her way.
She looked up abruptly and met the man’s long, dark eyes. His back was to the moonlight, his entire face hidden behind the shadows.
Ji Xing lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the young lady squatting on the ground. Her tears were still flowing as she stared at him for a few seconds like she was stunned.
Thereafter, she threw her phone away. Her eyes flashed with obvious excitement and surprise as she jumped up to hug him.
“Where did you go?” Song Yiyan’s voice was hoa.r.s.e, but her tone was filled with surprise. “You scared me.”
Ji Xing’s body froze on the spot for a moment. He looked at the woman who was hanging on him like a koala and asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Worried?”
For the first time, Song Yiyan followed her heart. She no longer sneered and nodded. “I thought you were beaten up and cut into pieces and that someone took you to feed the dogs.”
Ji Xing frowned slightly. What nonsense was she thinking about? He asked her, “Am I so useless in your heart?”
Song Yiyan hugged him tightly as if he would disappear if she let go. “Auntie said you were shot. I couldn’t find you for a long time.”
Ji Xing’s voice became lower and deeper, with a hint of self-mockery. “I’ve been looking for you for three days and three nights, but I couldn’t find you.”
Song Yiyan suddenly wiped her tears and looked up into his eyes. “I’m sorry.”
She had grown up alone since she was young. Her master often disappeared without a word or message for her. She had long been used to it and developed the habit of not telling people where she went.
However, no matter how long her master went out, he would return home. She also believed that nothing would happen to him and that he would definitely return home safely.
However, one day, after the master left, he never returned.
That night, after she saw the rabbit, she was momentarily excited and forgot to inform him before leaving.
“I’ll forgive you this time.” Ji Xing looked at her seriously. “Song Yiyan, I will never give you a second chance to scare me.”
After Song Yiyan apologized, she realized that something was wrong after hearing what he said. She frowned and asked, “Are you taking revenge on me?”
Ji Xing did not say anything, but his big hand patted her arm gently. “Do you want me to die from blood loss? Or do you want me to die from pain? Then you can go and find other pretty boys?”
Song Yiyan looked up and saw the man’s pale face. Even his lips were pale and he smelled of blood, his chest was sticky.
“Ji Xing!” Song Yiyan shouted anxiously. Before she could jump off his body, she fell to the ground with the man.
Ji Xing fell back, her body pressed against his. It did not hurt at all, but she could clearly see the red blood spreading from his chest.
A large patch of glaring red dyed his white shirt red, making her heart ache.
“Ji Xing!”
