Gu Shen watched as he chased after his Third Uncle’s car like a madman. As he ran, he scolded him. He frowned, his eyes full of disdain. It was good to be a simple-minded, violent lunatic. He had gotten into character really quickly.
The car had already been started.
Through the rearview mirror, Xu Xi saw Huo Xuanzhou running barefoot like a fool after the car. He cursed as he asked respectfully, “Third Master, do you want to stop?”
Jun Shiyan’s eyes were cold. He could only hear him cursing. He looked at the weak and pale young lady in his arms. “There’s no need.”
What was the point of having a useless person like him around?
When Xu Xi saw him running and disappearing, he felt a little sympathetic. He had already found out what had happened.
After Ms. Ling had finished filming the underwater scene, she had drowned. He had been the first to jump in the water to save her. He had also successfully found her. In conclusion, he had contributed the most to Ms. Ling’s rescue.
–
The suffocating, pure-white space was endless and filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…
The ECG monitor let out an ear-piercing, death-like sound.
“Ah!”
Ling Sheng screamed and stood up suddenly. Cold sweat covered her body, and her heart raced wildly. Her face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead as she took in big gulps of air.
Suddenly, she was hugged by someone gently. A gentle, warm hand patted her back comfortingly. His voice was gentle and hoarse. “It’s alright. It’s alright.”
Ling Sheng hugged his waist tightly and buried her whole body in his chest. There was a salty taste in her throat, and her chest felt like it was about to explode. Tears streamed down her face after she let out a sad, depressed cry.
She had thought she was going to die.
She had been scared to death.
However, she was still alive. The warmth of his body told her that she was still alive.
Jun Shiyan had never seen her look so desperate. His heart ached, and he did not know how to comfort her. His shirt was soon wet with tears.
Ling Sheng did not know why she was crying. After escaping death, she’d suddenly realized that she was still alive. It was a feeling she had never felt before. She needed to vent the fear, despair, and horror in her heart.
“Sorry.” In a low, hoarse voice, he hugged her tightly, giving her warmth and comfort. It was all his fault. He had not been by her side when she’d needed him.
The sea was so deep and dark. How scared and helpless had she felt back then? Just thinking about it made him want to kill himself.
Why couldn’t he have come a day earlier? He did not even need a day. As long as he had come an hour earlier or half an hour earlier, he would definitely not have let her struggle alone in despair.
Upon hearing his voice, Ling Sheng cried even more sadly. She had thought she would never see him again. She would not see Xiaoqi, her grandparents, and her father. She did not know what was up with her.
She had clearly heard her aunt’s voice. After her aunt had married overseas, she had not come back much. She was not close to her aunt either. The last time they had met had been at her father’s funeral.
Had she hallucinated seeing her?
She must have!
At that moment, after a sharp beep, time seemed to freeze.
It was as though she had been in a spatial rift on the eve of her death. There had been an endless, pure-white scene in front of her, but she had clearly heard someone trying to save her and calling her name.
