Chapter 511 - If There Was An Afterlife
Chapter 511: If There Was An Afterlife
A mysterious silver light flashed across the dark sky.
Jiang Xuecheng was shocked. He suddenly remembered what day it was. It was the 14th of July and the Phoenix meteor shower had already begun.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes turned cold. He instantly understood what Tang Yifeng meant when he said “I didn’t lose” before he died.
No wonder Tang Yifeng had chosen an empty cliff. He had timed it so precisely because of the meteor shower in the Phoenix Constellation!
But how did Tang Yifeng know that he had this strange disease? It must be Sheng An’ning…
Now was not the time to pursue this matter.
Jiang Xuecheng’s brows knitted tightly together. Seeing Su Wan lying in his arms, he calmed himself down and forced himself to calm down.
There were only two minutes left…
The brilliant lights in the sky flashed with awe-inspiring sparks, making Jiang Xuecheng feel extremely uncomfortable. He blinked his dazed eyes and felt dizzy.
With his back facing the lights, he carried Su Wan and moved behind the tree. Jiang Xuecheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Blood mixed with sweat fell on Su Wan’s cheeks, dyeing them scarlet.
Even in her sleep, Su Wan’s brows were still tightly knitted, as if she was extremely uneasy.
“Xuecheng… Hurry up and leave… Don’t bother with me…”
Su Wan unconsciously muttered, and her voice still had a sobbing tone, which made Jiang Xuecheng’s heart suddenly soften.
Jiang Xuecheng wanted to caress Su Wan’s face, but he suddenly felt as if he was being controlled by something, and his fingers could not move flexibly.
A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s lips. He glanced at the shooting stars in the sky.
He suddenly felt a sense of defeat that was destined to happen. He and Su Wan were destined to die here, right?
Why did he still feel so indignant?
Countless fragmented images flashed in front of Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. From the first time they met on the bridge that day, he had forcefully kissed her. Until today, he had never regretted meeting Su Wan…
It was just that their time together was too short. There were too many things that he did not have the time to do, so he could not help but feel a little regretful.
Jiang Xuecheng used all his strength to forcefully hug Su Wan. His hands trembled, and he suddenly wanted to say something as a final memorial.
The meteors in the sky were so bright. Even if he did not look at them, he could still feel the brilliant light.
Jiang Xuecheng felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier. He struggled to keep his eyes open, trying to remember Su Wan’s appearance more clearly before he died.
If there was really an afterlife, he hoped that Su Wan could wait for him on Naihe Bridge.
He seemed to have never felt such a moment before. He felt that death was so close, and he felt that there were still many things that he had yet to complete.
Life was clearly still so long, but it was already about to end.
“Wan Wan, I love you.”
Jiang Xuecheng muttered this sentence in a low voice. Because his fingers were too heavy, he could only use his eyes to continuously describe Su Wan’s face.
The word love was too heavy. Jiang Xuecheng had never said it easily, but if he did not say it now, he felt that he would never have the chance in the future.
As if she had been inspired, Su Wan’s long eyelashes suddenly trembled. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Xuecheng in a daze.
“Jiang Xuecheng, are we dead?”
Hearing Su Wan’s silly words, Jiang Xuecheng smiled. “Almost. There are still forty seconds left.”
Su Wan was stunned. She looked at the cuboid metal bomb on her body and saw the red Arabic numerals on it jumping continuously.
Every change in the numerals meant that she was one step closer to death.
Only forty seconds left?
“Idiot, there’s still time! Hurry up and run!”
Jiang Xuecheng sighed slightly. “I can’t run.”
Su Wan choked. She was about to say that he was lying when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Jiang Xuecheng’s hand on her arm was so cold!
Su Wan was stunned. She saw that Jiang Xuecheng’s hand was slightly trembling!
What’s wrong with him?!
It seemed that the surroundings were much brighter than before…
Su Wan was shocked. She looked up and saw the long beams of light that continuously streaked across the sky. Her pupils suddenly enlarged!
These are… meteors?!
Oh God! She actually forgot that the Phoenix metoor shower was happening at midnight.
No wonder Jiang Xuecheng looked so weak. Without thinking, Su Wan immediately hugged Jiang Xuecheng in her arms, took off his coat, and directly covered his eyes.
“Wan Wan, you don’t have to do this. Anyway, it won’t be long.”
His deep voice was indescribably weak,
Yes, only the last dozens of seconds remained…
Su Wan’s throat suddenly felt sore. She held Jiang Xuecheng’s face in her hands and gently wiped away the blood that had not completely dried up on Jiang Xuecheng’s face.
Su Wan hugged Jiang Xuecheng and felt an indescribable sadness.
The cold tears soaked Jiang Xuecheng’s clothes until they were sparkling.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan with great effort. His voice was as ethereal as the wind in the wilderness. “Wan Wan, don’t cry. Can you smile?”
Su Wan nodded and forced a smile. A smile that was uglier than crying bloomed on her face.
She pressed the tip of her nose against the tip of Jiang Xuecheng’s nose and kissed him.
The blood with the smell of rust flowed down Jiang Xuecheng’s cheeks and into Su Wan’s lips.
It was so bitter, even more bitter than unsweetened coffee and even more bitter than the Chinese medicine that Jiang Xuecheng forced on her…
Seeing that time was running out, Su Wan subconsciously hugged Jiang Xuecheng tighter as if they would never be separated.
With a crisp sound, Su Wan’s body quivered. She thought that the bomb was about to detonate, but she did not expect another ticking sound.
Ten seconds left.
Was it finally about to end?
Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng tightly in her arms with an indescribable feeling.
She did not dare to witness the tragic scene of her and Jiang Xuecheng being blown to pieces before she died. So she closed her eyes and quietly waited for death to come.
Su Wan felt a piercing pain in her eyes. A line of clear tears flowed down Su Wan’s blood-stained cheek.
She silently counted down the last few seconds in her heart, but before she could finish counting, the meteors in the sky danced. The brilliant rays of light grew more and more as they pierced through the dark sky.
The surroundings were as bright as day.
Suddenly, Su Wan felt that her arms were empty!
Where was Jiang Xuecheng?!
Su Wan subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but the blinding light around her blurred her vision.
Su Wan was stunned. Before she could react, she felt something tearing at her flesh, trying to cut her into pieces.
It hurt so much…
The intense pain hit her. Su Wan finally could not hold on any longer. She let her consciousness fall into the endless darkness and drown.
…
No one noticed that the two shadows disappeared from the cliff one after the other.
Then, a violent explosion sounded throughout the entire mountain, igniting all the flowers, plants, and trees nearby.
When the nearby residents heard the vibration, they thought it was an earthquake and ran out in their pajamas.
Some people saw the flames on the mountain and immediately began to call the police.
The police heard the news and came to the hill to search for casualties, only to find a charred body…
