Qin Xiaobao woke up again, but she wasn't completely awake this time. Her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
There was only the sound of dripping water, one after another, ringing rhythmically like the second hand of a clock.
Qin Xiaobao felt as if her life was falling along with the sound of this dripping water. Every drop of hers lost a second.
She was thirsty. She wanted water, but she couldn't move, couldn't open her eyes, couldn't speak. She just instinctively licked her tongue.
"What is it? You want to play dead? Do you think I can let you go if you don't say anything? "
The kidnapper's cold voice sounded out from above Qin Xiaobao's head, but she no longer had the strength to argue with him.
So be it. Whether she lived or died was already the same. She gave up and didn't want to continue anymore. She no longer had the strength to continue.
She could feel the blood in her body slowly draining away, bit by bit, and her life was attached to the slowly flowing blood.
She wanted to fall asleep so that she wouldn't feel any more pain and the despair of her life leaving. However, just as she was about to fall asleep, the wretched kidnapper, perhaps unable to keep up with her silence, gave her another kick on the stomach.
Qin Xiaobao was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to scream for pain. This kick was extremely ruthless, but other than pain, there was nothing she could do.
"I won't let you die!" The kidnapper still said the same words, sinister and terrifying. However, Qin Xiaobao had already become numb to the threats that she had heard a lot.
"Let me die. Please let me die. "Let me die a little faster. Don't torture me like this again." Qin Xiaobao really wanted to say this, but she was so weak that she didn't have the strength to speak anymore.
The kidnapper had taken her life, but she could still die happily. She couldn't live on like this, not even if she wanted to live on. Her body couldn't hold on any longer.
She only had to open her mouth to feel an uncontrollable pain in her throat … She really didn't know, nor did she know how much longer she could last.
Maybe an hour, maybe ten minutes, maybe a little longer, maybe a little less...
In short, Qin Xiaobao felt that her life could suddenly disappear at any moment. She would disappear from this world forever, never to see those people whom she was reluctant to see again.
There were many, many people who couldn't bear to part with it … She still wanted to return to her parents' embrace and act coquettishly, pinch Xiao Ranran's face and scam that wood brother. She also wanted to ask her sister-in-law how in the world could she catch up to Zhan Nianbei?
Zhan Nianbei.
When he thought of these three words, his lax consciousness actually returned to clarity in an instant. But then she realized that she would never see him again in her life.
Thinking of this, his heart, which was already dead, started to hurt uncontrollably. That pain was so acute, compared to the pain on his heart, the injuries on his body were nothing.
Her dream in life had been to marry him and have children for him.
Right now, she was about to die. Her wish of marrying Zhan Nianbei had not been fulfilled, so it was even more impossible for her to do so after she died.
As he thought about it, tears suddenly dripped from the corner of Qin Xiaobao's eyes.
She still did not want to die. She wanted to see that person, that person who she had longed for all her life. She wanted to have the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Just as Qin Xiaobao's consciousness was floating, someone suddenly picked her up again and threw her into the water.
Cold water ran down his skin, over his wounds, cold and painful.
"Lie here properly. If you are lucky, Zhan Nianbei and the others might find you before you die."
In a trance, he seemed to have heard someone speaking. The voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar, and it was impossible to tell who it was.
Xiao Bao tried really hard to open her eyes to take a look, but his eyelids were heavy. She used all her strength and only opened her eyes a little.
In any case, the demon had finally left.
Qin Xiaobao did not care about who she was just now, her mouth was dry and she could not care about whether the water was clean, she immediately gulped it down, and finally felt better, her head clearing up.
After that, no one bothered her anymore. She had her eyes closed, and her head was so dizzy that she was about to fall asleep.
She had once heard someone mention that when she was injured, she must stay awake. She must not let herself fall asleep or else, once she fell asleep, she might never wake up again.
Qin Xiaobao tried really hard, trying really hard to keep herself awake. However, having just experienced a storm, how could she still have any strength left?
She really wanted to open her eyes and take another look at the world, at the man she had always wanted to marry, but had never been able to.
"Qin Xiaobao!"
"Hmph …"
Qin Xiaobao could not help but sneer. When a person was about to die, would hearing their illusions lead to them being called out to whoever they wanted to see the most?
"Qin Xiaobao, you f * cking wake up."
Following Zhan Nianbei's exasperated voice, Qin Xiaobao felt herself falling into a warm and firm embrace.
This illusion was too realistic, as if Zhan Nianbei was really holding her. When she stuck close to his body, he could even feel Zhan Nianbei's distinct muscles.
"Zhan Nianbei, I know that I can't take it anymore, but I must thank you for coming out to send me off." Although this was just her imagination, his dream, she still had to thank him.
Not only did she have to thank Zhan Nianbei, she also had a lot of things she wanted to say to Zhan Nianbei. Even if he died, she would need him to remember her.
"Zhan Nianbei, in the next life, if there really is a next life, then it's your turn to chase after me."
"Zhan Nianbei, do you know why my English name is Polaris?"
"Qin Xiaobao, shut up!"
"Haha," The frail Xiao Bao suddenly laughed softly, and his bloodless face actually had the beauty of a mantis blooming in the air, "Zhan Nianbei, why are you so fierce in my dreams? I'm about to die, and you're still telling me to shut up, who am I supposed to find to say these words to in the future?"
She spoke softly with a tone of grievance and humility, just like her love for Zhan Nianbei. Her lips had a smile, but her tears still flowed down the corners of her eyes, drop by drop, onto Zhan Nianbei's hand.
Zhan Nianbei, who was not hallucinating, froze because of the tears, and almost cried out from the pain. He could not help but hold Xiao Bao even more tightly, and used a gentle and soft tone that he had never used before: "Shut up, we'll talk slowly in the future."
With that said, he carried Qin Xiaobao and rushed out with all his might.
But Xiao Bao still had a lot of things he wanted to say, even if he had to exhaust his life, he wanted to tell Zhan Nianbei.
